The MetaMOOphosis
A Visit to the Samsa House
Part 1 The meeting of the cast on the front yard
@go Samsa
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Samsa front yard
You stand outside the home of Gregor Samsa. He woke up a few mornings ago to find
that he had been transformed, during the night, into a giant insect. It looks like
rain. There is a hospital looming behind the house. Type 'enter' or 'in ' to visit
the house. Perhaps you can find a script and costume that will transform you as well.
There is a closet in the foyer that may contain these items.
If you're new to mooing and want some help type @tutorial and hit enter.
This will work anyplace in the moo, as well as simply typing 'help say' or 'help go'
or 'help look' or just 'help'.
Typing 'l' or 'look' will always tell you where you are. (try 'look plaque')
NOTICE:: Upon entering the house you won't be able to say or emote unless you get
a costume from the closet.
(You can use page instead of say commands Syntax: page <player><text> )
You see a Bronze Plaque, The Samsa House, a security camera, and a Gold Plaque h ere.
Obvious exits: Front_Door to The Foyer and south to a small pathway
You teleport into The Samsa front yard...
look camera

The security camera is fastened to the side of the house just above the first floor.
The presence of the camera gives you the idea that further surveillance may exist
IN THE HOUSE.
It records onto yardtape(#1603).
a security camera is turned off.
