in which the saga continues.

If you like playing quest-y RPG games, and you would like to experience playing on in real life, just lose your wallet. Soon your life will be like a quest.



As a Peasant, you live in a pleasent fifedom of relative safety and security--until a band of armed robbers steal your most prized possession, [WALLET]. This sends you into a fit of tears/uncontrollable rage, mediated only by frantic phone calls to your mother, who works things out with the bank and is able to set up appointments for you to recieve a new driver's lisence.



Soon after this dastardly display of thievery, a [WIZARD] appears to comfort you. He reveals that there is a way to get [WALLET] back, but it will require a great deal of work on your part.

Do you accept his quest?
>>Yes
>>No



Yes? GREAT. [WIZARD] tells you that to reconstruct [WALLET] you will need to collect several key objects.

Wait. Did he say reconstruct? You just wanted [WALLET] returned to you.

[WIZARD] laughs. You are a fool. There is no way to get [WALLET] returned to you unless it is found by someone with a good and pure heart feels sorry for whatever rube doesn't check their purse 15x every minute to see if [WALLET] is inside. And the chance of that happening can best be described like this: slim to none. So your only choice is to reconstruct [WALLET]. And you already said you would so you're locked into this deal anyway.

[WIZARD] presents you with an itimized list. It is as follows:
>> 1. new [DRIVER'S LISENCE]
>> 2. new [SOCIAL SECURITY CARD]
>> 3. new [DEBIT CARD/CHECKS]
>> 4. new [WALLET]
>> 5. new [STUDENT ID]
>> 6. new [UPASS]

Here is the catch. In order to purchase [WALLET], you will need [DEBIT CARD/CHECKS]. In order to get to a place to purchase [WALLET], you will need [UPASS]. In order to get [UPASS], you need [STUDENT ID]. In order to get [STUDENT ID], you need to take the train, which requires [UPASS], and you will need $$, which requires [DEBIT CARD/CHECKS] since your $$ was in [OLD STOLEN WALLET].

In order to get [DEBIT CARD/CHECKS] you will need to go to the bank which is conventiently located in the far fifedom of [GODDAMN INDIANA]. In order to get to [GODDAMN INDIANA] you need [UPASS] and [DEBIT CARD/CHECKS]. In order to get [DEBIT CARD/CHECKS] you need to prove your identity, requiring [DRIVER'S LISENCE] and/or [SOCIAL SECURITY CARD], both of which were in [OLD STOLEN WALLET].

In order to get a new [DRIVER'S LISENCE] you must prove your identity, which requires [SOCIAL SECURITY CARD] and/or [STUDENT ID].

[WIZARD] flees the scene, laughing at your inability to solve your problems. You are left crying in the dust.

THE END.

Play again?
>>Yes
>>No
