[messages for room 12 -- rmAlley [ "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards" [ by Al Lowe %message 1 "Try moving to the east end of the fire escape." %message 2 "Try moving to the west end of the fire escape." %message 3 "%m7 and a fence." %message 4 "Nah. That room needs the fresh air!" %message 5 "You are on a fire escape. A rusty ladder is at one end. East of the fire escape is another window, just out of your reach." %message 6 "%m7, a fence, and something sitting in the east window." %message 7 "It's a nice little alley, with a trash bin, two windows, a fire escape" %message 8 "Move closer to the ladder." %message 9 "(Of course, you can't play the violin now, but you get the idea.)" %message 10 "Unlock it? From the outside?" %message 11 "You can't. It's locked from the inside." %message 12 "Looking inside the west window, you see the room you just left." %message 13 "Looking at the east window, you notice a bottle of pills sitting on the window ledge." %message 14 "There are two windows high above you. The west window by the fire escape has a dim, reddish glow; the east window is dark. There may be something on the sill of the east window, but you can't make it out from down here." %message 15 "You broke it, didn't you?" %message 16 "You lean far out over the railing before remembering that agility is yet another of your short suits." %message 17 "With the rope securely holding you to the railing, you can reach all the way over to the window. NOW, of all times, you notice the window's locked!" %message 18 "Subtly, you smash the window with your hammer. Your future as a second-story man seems quite plausible!" %message 19 "You got 'em! But what are they?" %message 20 "You might try reaching over to the window first." %message 21 "You consider sticking your hand through a solid glass window, but realize that if you did, you wouldn't be able to play the violin." %message 22 "It already is." %message 23 "What is this; a death wish?" %message 24 "You already took them. Why do this again?" %message 25 "Amidst assorted, odoriferous refuse from Lefty's clientel, you discover Lefty's old, left-handed hammer." %message 26 "There's nothing else here worth describing, let alone taking." %message 27 "\"YUCK!!\"" %message 28 "Unfortunately, you can't see much from out here." %message 29 "Wow! Does your head hurt!!" %message 30 "Hey! Where are you?" %message 31 "After a careful analysis of your surroundings, you conclude you are at the bottom of a pile of garbage!" %message 32 "Move to the front of the trash bin." %message 33 "There's no way to reach the ladder from down here. It's only accessible from above." %message 34 "You see alleys stretching off to infinity." %message 35 "The fence is much too tall for you to climb over." %message 36 "It's not long enough to reach from here." %message 37 "It's not long enough to reach anywhere, but you might want to use it for safety purposes." %message 38 "Be more specific." %message 39 "You untie the rope." %message 40 "How can you do that?" %message 41 "Using the dull pocket knife, you cut the rope free." %message 42 "%g176" [ That's AN idea... %message 43 "A rickety fire escape, complete with safety ladder, is loosely attached to the building. A mild, reddish glow comes from the window behind it." %message 44 "Unfortunately the lid on the trash bin just will not close." %message 45 "Try as you might, it is impossible to move the trash bin." %message 46 "The solution is closer to you than that." %message 47 "There is an old neon sign hanging on the wall that says \"Hotel\"..." %message 48 "...approximately." %message 49 "You can't. Even its rusty bolts are too tough for you!" %message 50 "Not now!" %message 51 "There may be something in the east window, but from here, you're not sure." %message 52 "It's a long way to the ground!" %message 53 "Whee!" %message 54 "Move closer to the window, if you want to go back in the hooker's room." %message 55 "You reconsider after noticing the trash bin is behind where you would fall!" %message 56 "You ain't got no knife!!" %message 57 "You're currently all tied up!"
