Intro Text

party-crowed.jpg

A small sign on the door advertises this place as "The Happy Hour" and advises of a one drink minimum. You can feel the music from clear outside, but it surges louder as you open the door.

The place smells of cheap beer and too many dancers. The lighting's dim, but you can see many of the patrons wear clothing bearing a swirling eye symbol. The rest of the patrons, and all the dancers, look like students from the university.

You head up towards the bar just inside the door.

The default walk away message in this zone is:

You head back into the crowd. This place is huge and densely packed. It'll probably be half an hour before you get to the opposite wall though the throng.

ROARING DRUNK
As you weave your way through the crowd, a drunk man stumbles into you. After blinking, confused for a moment, he starts yelling how you made him spill his drink.

Ignoring your response, he shatters his beer bottle on a nearby table and lunges at you.
Gain 1 Third Eye Point if you win

2 TRASH GOLEMS
As you make your way through the bar, the room seems to tilt sideways and you find yourself sliding through the door into piles of garbage. After an eternity, when your legs respond to a desire to stand, the piles of garbage stand with you. And somehow, they don't seem friendly.

DAZZLING CLOUD
Lights arc out, striking several of the students near you. A moment later, you understand what's happened, as a dark mist cut through with thousands of lights floats towards you menacingly. Only if the DJ has turned the disco lights on (resets daily)
