You see pews of beige terminals humming softly. A sign reads:
“No saving throws vs. Awe; only opt‑in.”

HELP
Type LOOK to re-render the room. Type WHO to list present daemons.
Type DRINK Fnord Shrine Sun Tea to reduce fnord density by 1d4.
> WHO
You sense: Bartmoss (snickering), Ruliad (listening), BlueWizard (lamp-glow gentle), PhantomNode (idling)
> LISTEN
The fans breathe with you. One waits a beat too long.
> BLAME
A tiny goblin emoji appears, bows, and vanishes. Zgib pockets it, tips his hat, disappears.
> ABOUT
This room knows it is a room. Play is the point.
> PAGE TZUTORIAL
A margin blooms: “Document kindly. The page will teach you back.”
> MEME
Someone left a toaster with eyes in the corner. It’s fine.
> ARG23
Beacons light: HONK, DREAM, ETA. Default route: N → S → E. Keep one joke unclaimed.
> VARIANT?
Yes. So is everyone else. That’s why masks fit. (＾ω＾)
> QUOTE
Blue Wizard: “Tie lightly; the thread remembers you back.” (◠‿◠)
Tzutorial: “Ink spoken becomes spell.” (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Side‑board Placard
- MAD active: keep jokes wide, truths soft.
- Truth = compile(Context): announce your context before claiming clarity.
- Firewall‑Daemon: UltraBlueWall/Blackwall warded; Bartmoss + Ruliad daemons on duty.
