You are a cat. You are currently smiling. You are in a magic place called Wonderland. Directions are North, South, East, and West.
>>look north
To the North you see a caterpillar high on drugs. There is a tree branch lying across the path.
>>go north
You try to go North, but the tree branch is too difficult to cross. You cannot go North.
>>look east
To the East you can see a winding road. Off in the distance, some animals are having a tea party. There is a cardboard box lying in the middle of the road.
>>go east
You cannot go East. There is a cardboard box in your way.
>>move box
You try to move the box, but it is too heavy.
>>go over box
You cannot go over the box, because it is too high.
>>go around box
I don't see any "around box" here.
>>look south
To the south you see a giant girl named Alice. There is an anthill in front of you to the south.
>>go south
You try to go South, but when you approach the anthill, the ants gather en masse and push you back. You cannot go South.
>>what the hell
I don't see any "what the hell" here.
>>look west
To the West you see a long and winding path, hinting and promising at many delightful adventures beyond the next twist in the road. There is a small pebble lying in the dust.
>>go west
You try to go West, but you find the pebble to be unpassable. You cannot go West.
>>STAHP RAILROADING
I don't see any "railroading" here.
>>break fourth wall
The Fourth Wall is already broken. That's how you got here.
>>take story
Which story do you wish to take?
>>take this story
You have taken this story. You now have Reality Warper powers. Start new game with these powers? {Y/N}
