truepenny>OPEN CUPBOARD
You open the cupboard. A thin plastic bag containing approximately two cups of flour falls out. The bag impales itself on one of a pair of chopsticks that are standing, points up, in the silverware compartment of the dish drainer in the sink.
Flour begins to leak slowly out of the thin plastic bag.
>SWEAR
That's not a very constructive response, now is it?
Flour continues to leak slowly out of the thin plastic bag.
>TAKE BAG
If you do that, you run the risk of dislodging the chopstick. Proceed? YES|NO
>NO
Flour continues to leak slowly out of the thin plastic bag.
>TAKE BAG AND CHOPSTICK
Carefully, you pick up the bag and chopstick. Flour continues to leak out of the thin plastic bag, but neither faster nor in greater quantity than before.
You are getting flour on your hands.
>S
You walk south into the pantry. It's small and dark in here, and there are a lot of bags of catfood. There are three drawers to your left.
Flour continues to leak slowly out of the thin plastic bag.
>OPEN MIDDLE DRAWER
You open the middle drawer. Inside, there is a box of ziploc bags.
Flour continues to leak slowly out of the thin plastic bag.
>TAKE ZIPLOC BAG
It's a challenge getting a ziploc bag out of its box with one hand, but you manage. Perhaps that swearing was helpful after all.
Flour continues to leak slowly out of the thin plastic bag.
>OPEN ZIPLOC BAG
You open the ziploc bag.
Flour continues to leak slowly out of the thin plastic bag.
>PUT BAG IN BAG
I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that.
Flour continues to leak slowly out of the thin plastic bag.
>PUT THIN PLASTIC BAG IN ZIPLOC BAG
You're really challenging your dexterity tonight, aren't you? You put the thin plastic bag in the ziploc bag. It lands mostly upside down.
Flour continues to leak slowly out of the thin plastic bag, but with the ziploc bag in place it doesn't matter anymore.
>TAKE CHOPSTICK
You take the flour-covered chopstick.
>SEAL ZIPLOC BAG
You seal the ziploc bag. Take that, flour!
>N
You go north into the kitchen. One cupboard is open. There is spilled flour on the counter and one chopstick in the dish drainer.
>LAUGH
Well, really, what else can you do?
You laugh. In a minute, your husband will be laughing, too.

Date: 2010-12-24 01:41 pm (UTC)I don't have ants/rodents at my current address, but the place I rented prior trained me to keep all foodstuffs in airtight containers.
(My evil landlord sold my old place out from under me right before Christmas last year. As painful as that was, I definitely think I ended up better off than the poor sap who bought that lemon)
