1. you can only have 5 items in your bag
2. Only 5 items here (can only withdraw items from only 2 users) plus 3 items from your choices.
3. up to 4 rooms can be used (The hall, bathroom plus 2 from your choices)

Enjoy and happy puzzle


PS
Hope it's not too lame :-/

[Krazy]

Rule number 2 confuses the hell out of me 

[Ashen]

I think it means 5 items from the 'Hasn't been an inventory item yet' thread, but only from 2 posts.
E.g. you could have
  A comic-book            (Mats Berglinn)
  A rubber-ducky          (Mats Berglinn)
  A voodoo-mask           (Mats Berglinn)
  canned peas             (Jimi)
  an electric floor waxer (Jimi)

but not:
  A rubber-ducky          (Mats Berglinn)
  A voodoo-mask           (Mats Berglinn)
  canned peas             (Jimi)
  an electric floor waxer (Jimi)
  Captian Mostly's mum    (Captain Mostly).

Not that that's much less confusing, I'll grant you.

I've missed the last few Puzzletime's, largely due to being a lazy git, but I fully intend to enter this one, oh yes.
Just not for a few days.

Also, 18:00 in what time zone? It might be better to post nearer the time with "24 hours from the time of this post".

[Krazy]

Well, giving us three items of our choice is kinda pointless, since they COULD also be in that thread and such. But oh well I gave it a try and I don't think I broke any rules so:

My stupid entry, I like to call it: "Bob Falf in: Hostage Trouble"

You were withdrawing from the Bank when 3 guys come and rob the bank. But the clerck pushes the Alarm button and now you are stuck as a hostage. How will you get out? You're in the bank hall being held hostage. You are tied to a chair while the robbers try to make the most of their situation.

Invetory: You have the sun, A Shakespearean Play and an oven mitt.

Look sun
It's big, yellow and hot. Just the same thoughts you have about Big Bird. "HEY!" you yell. I'm just the narrator Bob, I don't come up with this stuff!

Look play
Ooh boy, it's your favourite one. "I hate Shakespere" you state. Well then, why do you have this? "I thought it was a comic book, by the picture on the cover" you respond. Well Bob, you win the idiot of the year award. "Yeah, well you win the dumb narrating stupid dumb face crap idiot stupid dumb guy award of the year." you scream angrily. Everyone in the bank looks at you wondering who on earth you're talking to. You blush.

Look oven mitt
Micheal Jackon's Jesus oven mitt. It is blue and looks almost like a sock puppet of jesus. "Hehe, this things great for baking" you say, which you never do... "Well, ok, it's great for warming my hand..." you respond. Sheesh Bob, you are weird...

Look
You are tied up to a chair along with several other people.

Look people
You don't care to look.

Talk to people
You were never one for talking in awkward situations.

Look rope
It's keeping you and your peers attached to this lovely sweedish chair.

Untie Rope
You attempt to untie the rope using soley your teeth. As you begin biting through the rope you realise you've just eaten deadly rope toxins. You begin to feel woosy, suddenly your head explodes. GAME OVER

Look robbers
Gruff 'n Tuff. Yes, that's their names. They got teased an AWFUL lot in school.

Talk to Robbers
"Hey" you ask them. "Jes, whadya want smart guy" they respond? "Well, I'd like it if you untied" you respond like an idiot. "Well, dat's it joo smart guy, ima pump ya fulla lead joo dumb dumb face person" he yells deeply offended. He fires at you but instead hits the guy right next to you. He slides down out of the rope giving you enough space to escape. You quickly get up and run into the bathroom.

Look
You are in the bathroom, around you are toilets, a sink, a condom machine and a window to freedom.

Look sink
It's a sink, a sink! Ooh a sink. "I always hated sinks." you say.

Use sink
"I, uh, don't wanna "sink" to that level, ehehehe." you say. Why am I stuck narrating YOU out of all those game characters... "Cause I'm a cheap character, you're a cheap narrator." I'm going to kill you some day Bob...

Look window
Not much can be said about a window, unless of course it's a Canadian talking window, then alot can be said about AND by it.

Talk window
What, why, how where?!

Open window
As you try to slide it open it yells at you "HEY! I'm really bored here, and I aint lettin you out till I get some entertainment, eh?". Hmmm a talking Canadian window, isn't that odd. "No, but YOU are." you respond in smart assed fashion but end up looking really weird talking to no one but the voice in your head. Now who's odd eh Bob, now who's odd?

Talk window
"Hey, you can talk, eh" you say offensivly to the window. "Hey shuttupa your face" it says back to you. "Hey I thought you were Canadian?" you respond. "UUuh, I am, aboot, eh, eh, aboot, yeah!" it nervously says. "Weird, I never did quite understand windows." you say. Maybe they never understood you either Bob, but then no one does, not even me, and I narrate your whole friggin life!

Read play to window
"Hey, I heard this one aboot two hundred times kid, I wanna visual show, eh" it scolds at you. That stereotype sure is getting old you think.

Look condom machine
Teehee.

Use condom machine
You attempt to operate it realising you have no money and no one wants to have sex with you anyway you give up.

Use Sun with condom machine
Using the intense heat of the sun you melt the condom machine down into a pile of goo.

Look goo
Teehee, I mean ewww.

Pick up goo
You bend over to pick up the melted piece of crap that was once a fine despenser of protection. Realising the suns heat has made it extremly hot you too melt with it and your last words are "This is as close to using one of these as I'll ever get anyway". GAME OVER

Use oven mitt on goo
You cleverly pick through the goo using your special Micheal Jackson Jesus mitt. Inside it you find what appears to be a sock puppet. You take it.

look puppet
It's a lovely sock puppet. 'I wonder if I wore this on my foot people would look at me funnily?" you ask. That's the reaction you get from wearing your normal socks, Bob. "Yeah, but... Eeeuuoo..." you sigh. Actually I don't think that's a puppet... "Shhh, think of the kids and the angry parents!" you say.

Use puppet on play
You cleverly plan out the play using your sock puppet, but you need something for another character.

Use oven mitt on planned play
You use the oven mitt (which evidently has the face of jesus on it) to play the other character, your play is ready.

Put on play for window
You preform your wonderful Shakespearean Play for the window. He has a marvelous time and kindly opens up for you.

Climb through window
You climb into it but realise you're way too fat, suddenly your gut explodes leaving a horrible mess all over the lovely bathroom (as if your unexploded body wasn't ugly enough) GAME OVER

Look toilet
Perfect for all those toilety things, not just restricted to excreting, why you can throw up, ja- "ARGH, it's bad enough there was a condom machine in here, enough with the dirty stuff" you yell. Party pooper...

Throw up in toilet
Good idea, you run up to the toilet, stick your finger down your throat and spew up that bean taco you ate for breakfast. You feel much thinner and prettier.

Climb through window
With your new slim body you climb out the window and land on the pavment. You hop to your feet and run to your house. You go inside and take a nice relaxing nap thinking about how you probobly could of got help for all those people in the bank after escaping but couldn't be bothered. You live a happy life until ten years later the son of that guy who was shot in the bank comes and murders you horribly. But the jokes on him, when he made physical contact with you in certain places he ended up with your herpes.

THE END

Nice entry Krazy

Comeon people, give Krazy a little competition

[/Andy\]

Right, well, I may not be an Official Member, because I can't remember passwords, but here goes.

I've used a similar format to what Krazy used. I couldn't think of any other way to do it, so I hope this is okay. Hey, at least there's more than one entry this time!

I used Ashen's inventory examples, too, because they sounded interesting.

Without further a do, this is my entry, cunningly named:

Jimi Goes to the Bank

Narrator:
Well, young Jimi. Your mother told you not to go taking money out of your account to buy sweets, didn't she? And what did you go and do? "I went to the bank to get money to buy sweets," you reply. That's right. And now look where that's got you. Now you'll have to try and get yourself out of this mess.

>Look at rope
It's binding you to the radiator, which is very hot.

>Look at inventory
You have a comic book, a rubber ducky, a voodoo mask, some canned peas and an electric floor waxer. Do you always leave the house with this much stuff? "Yes," What, even the floor waxer? "Well, what if the floor needs waxing?" But you're only 9 Jimi! "There's no excuse for a dirty floor." You sound like my mother.

>Look at robbers
They're very big, and very mean looking. They're currently watching the bank manager opening a large wall safe, whilst aiming their guns at him. You'd better not mess with them, Jimi. "Why not?" Because they'll shoot you! "Might not." Oh, so you don't trust your narrator, huh? Well then, why don't you go and find out? "Ok then."

>Use rubber ducky with bald robber
You remove the bath toy from your pocket, and launch it through the air at the biggest of the robbers. Unfortunately you have the aim of a kipper, and miss horribly. The airbourne duck hits the bank manager square between the eyes, knocking him clean off his feet. He trips backwards, smashes a window, and falls through it to his doom.

"Well, not realy to his doom, we're on the ground floor."

Quiet Jimi.

The robbers look at you and your fellow hostages in shock. Raising his gun, the smallest of the robbers says "who did that?"

>Eat canned peas

But you don't have a can opener, Jimi! "It has one of those nifty pull-rings." Oh, ok then.

You pull open the can, and fill your mouth with the peas. Doing this always calms you down in stressful situations. For some reason, they're frozen as well as canned, so you spit them out.

The peas scatter across the floor, and as the approaching robber steps on their shiny hides, he topples backwards, firing his gun as he does so. Bullets fly madly, hitting, the walls, ceiling, and finally the other two robbers. Square in their head's in fact. "Well, he couldn't have done that if he tried."

In the confusion, you whip out your comic book and use the paper to slice through the rope. Paper cuts are the worst, you know.

You run from the scene, towards the bathroom. "But I don't need to go peepee yet. Oh, but look at the state of this floor." Jimi, this is no time for cleaning. "Oh, just a little bit."

>Use electric floor waxer with floor
You'll need to plug it in first, Jimi.

>Use electric floor waxer with plug socket
The plug fits into the socket with a satifying 'click.'

>Use electric floor waxer with floor
Tut tut, you didn't flip the switch, Jimi. "Oh, for the love of..."

>Use switch
The switch switches easily.

>Use electric floor waxer with floor
The waxer whirrs into life, and our young hero waxes like his life depends on it.

Meanwhile, down in the hall, the last robber picks himself up off the floor, comes to terms with the deaths of his friends (he didn't really like them that much, anyway) and runs down the corridor in pursuit for Jimi.

Floor waxing always made Jimi's bladder go funny. It was probably something to do with the vibrations. Anywho, he was now risiding in the bathroom. Outside, the robber hot on his tail ran straight over the freshly polised floor, slipping as he went, and then tripped over the power cord, subsequently smashing his face on the hardwood floor. Well, that'll teach him to run in corridors.

Inside the bathroom our hero is having problems. No, not those kind of problems, you sicko! He's too short to use the urinal.

>Look at sink
You've got to be kidding? You can't just go around peeing in sinks!

>Look at cubicle
No luck, there's a sign on it that says 'out of order.'

>Look at hand dryer
Apart from all the usual features, there's a button on it that says 'suck', and one that says 'blow.' "I thought this was a family game." Jimi! Youi're only 9! What do they put on TV these days?

>Use suck button
With a single press, the machine starts to suck in air, like a mini black hole. You unzip your trousers and aim for the dryer, but the suction stops dead. You pee all over the wall. "Dammit, not again!"

With the smell of terminal embarrassment, amongst other things, surrounding you, the innevitable happens, and you are found out at the least convenient time, as the door bursts open and a high school jock enters the room.

"Hey, look everyone, some little squirt just peed all over the wall!"

The hostages crowd through the door and begin to laugh at you. Cries of 'peepee pants' and other hilarious insults can be heard above the heckles.

>Use vodoo mask
You put on the mask and, with the power of the ancient voodoo priests, you wipe out the hostages in a shower of blood, guts, and other assorted body parts.

Later you return home in time for tea. You see a news bulletin about a mysterious bank toilet mass murder, but swich the channel to watch The Simpsons.

Moral of the story: Never withdraw money from the bank to buy sweets. It only ends in tears. Or extreme bloodshed.

EPILOGUE
  ASHEN became something of a local celebrity until, six months later, he told the story of 'How I Defeated Three Armed Bank Robbers All By Myself' once too often, and had the everloving crap beaten out of him.

The moral of this story? No-one likes a smart arse.

[He-Man]

Pick up carpet
One of the robbers falls to the floor

destoy robber1
You break of the robbers arm with a gun in the hand and say "fuck you asshole!"
The clerk is very happy about it and thanks you. You stand up. You can't get to the last two robbers because there's an electric door between you and them.

Destroy the door to the bathroom+enter bathroom
