Federico's birthday

(set: $chicco_ha_la_chiave to 0) (set: $forza to 1) (set: $intelligenza to 1) (set: $porta_rotta to 0) - Good morning kids! You hear daddy's voice waking you up and, after a short while, the blinds going up... It's the 5th of February, your birthday, and since it's early morning it is still quite dark outside. Your dad sits on the bed, next to you, and kisses your forehead. Then he says: [[Come on, it's breakfast time!]] [[Happy Birthday Biricco!]] [[Good morning Mister Rossi!]]

How is it possible? Did your dad really forget about your birthday? You feel bad thinking that this day, which you would like to be special, will instead be like all the others... While rising from your bed, you step on a Lego piece you left on the floor the night before. OUCH! [[Clean up your room from Legos]] [[Go back to sleep]]

Your dad remembers it's your birthday! - So, do you feel a bit older today? You laugh, thinking that you are just 8 years old and he is more likely to feel a bit older, with that white beard he is growing... But then you tell him: - Of course, my knee started aching just yesterday! Dad smiles and says: - Come on, at your age you cannot get hurt: you kids are made of ''rubber''! Think about Lorenzo, who happens to bump into something every few minutes... While he says this, dad bumps his pinky toe on the door's frame. # AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! You have never heard so many swear words in such a short time, this might enter the Guinness world of records... Then, slowly, the volume of your father's voice fades while he limps towards the kitchen. [[Wake Lorenzo up]] [[Get out of your bedroom]]

Daddy greets you saying "Good morning Mister Rossi!". - Mister Rossi? - you tell your dad. - Come on, Fabrizio, you know I was joking! Fabrizio? This looks kinda weird to you... Not only your dad forgot about your birthday, but he forgot your name too and called you "Mister Rossi", as he has never done before. You start getting suspicious and you would like to understand whether he is just pulling your leg or if he just hit his head and does not remember anything... [[Ask another question to your dad]] [[Pretend everything's ok]]

You chose to clean up your room from Legos. Good choice! :-) While you clean up, you hear dad preparing the breakfast as usual. However, he hasn't asked you what you wanted to eat... His behavior is weirder than usual and you wonder whether you should talk about this with Lorenzo. [[Wake Lorenzo up]] [[Get out of your bedroom]]

This day started in the worst possible way! You choose to get back in you bed, so nothing bad can happen anymore... But are you really sure you want to end your adventure like this, even before it begins? [[Start again|Good morning!]]

You chose to wake your brother up and tell him how strange dad has been today: first he forgot about your birthday, then he forgot to ask you what you want to eat for breakfast today! You go up the stairs to your brother's bed to wake him up. Next to his bed, there is a trap door. Looking at his bed, you realise that under the blanket there is not him, but his Sulley peluche! Where is your brother? [[Look under the trap door]] [[Get out of your bedroom]]

You chose to get out of your bedroom and look for the rest of your family. (if: $chicco_ha_la_chiave is 0)[ Strangely, however, the door is... locked! [[Try to break through the door]] [[Look for the key]] ] (else: )[ The door is locked, but fortunately you have a key with you. [[Get in the corridor|The corridor]] ]

You chose to look under the trap door. Lorenzo is not here, but you find a key. [[Take the key]] [[Leave the key where it is|Get out of your bedroom]]

You decided to try to break through the door. (if: $forza < 5)[ However, you are not strong enough to break through it! Your strength level is $forza and you need to have at least 5. [[Train your strength]] [[Look for the key]] ] (else:)[ (set: $porta_rotta to 1) Thanks to your training, you are now incredibly strong: with a single super punch you manage to break through the door! Now you can reach the corridor, or stop to fix the door. [[Fix the door]] [[Reach the corridor|The corridor]] ]

You decided to look for the key which opens your room's door. [[Look under the trap door]] [[Look in Lorenzo's drawer]] [[Look on the desk]] [[Go back to the door|Get out of your bedroom]]

You chose to train your strength so you will be able to break through the door. There are many ways to do it: [[Read a book]] [[Do some push-ups]] [[Train your abs]] [[Train with weights]] [[Jog in place]] These are your statistics: Strength: $forza Intelligence: $intelligenza [[Look for the key]] [[Try to break through the door]]

You decided to fix the door. Fortunalty it is not completely broken and you can easily fix it. Thanks to your incredible strength, you manage to lift it and put it back in place. (set: $porta_rotta to 0) [[Get to the corridor|The corridor]]

You are in the corridor. On your left there is the door to the bathroom, in front of you there's daddy's room, and on your right the door to the living room. [[Enter the bathroom|The bathroom]] [[Enter daddy's room|Daddy's room]] [[Enter the living room|The living room's door]] (set: $tempo_bagno to 30)

You chose to read a book. At the end you do not feel stronger, but you definitely feel more intelligent! (set: $intelligenza to it + 1) These are your stats: Strength: $forza Intelligence: $intelligenza [[Train your strength]]

You chose to do some push-ups. You do it for 10 repetitions and you already feel stronger. (set: $forza to it + 1) These are your stats: Strength: $forza Intelligence: $intelligenza [[Train your strength]]

You chose to train your abs. You do it for 10 repetitions and you already feel a bit stronger. (set: $forza to it + 0.5) These are your stats: Strength: $forza Intelligence: $intelligenza [[Train your strength]]

You chose to do some weight training. You do it for 10 repetitions and you already feel stronger. (set: $forza to it + 1.5) These are your stats: Strength: $forza Intelligence: $intelligenza [[Train your strength]]

You chose to jog in place. You do that for 5 minutes and you feel a bit stronger already... (set: $forza to it + 0.1) These are your stats: Strength: $forza Intelligence: $intelligenza [[Train your strength]]

You take the key which was under the trap door. (set: $chicco_ha_la_chiave to 1) [[Get out of your bedroom]]

You decided to look for the key in Lorenzo's drawer. Unfortunately there is no key there. [[Look for the key]]

You chose to look for the key on the desk. Unfortunately, the desk is *so messy* that you cannot find anything there! [[Look for the key]]

You enter the bathroom. (display: "BathroomTimer")

You just entered daddy's room. Blinds are open and there starts to be some light. The bed is unmade but there is no trace of dad and Laura. On the whiteboard you can read the following sentences: (font: "monospace")[ - THE DAY OF THE MONTH WHEN YOU WERE BORN - ----- HOW MANY YEARS OLD ARE YOU NOW? ----- ----------- SNOWWHITE'S DWARVES ----------- ------- THE AMOUNT OF EYES YOU HAVE ------- ] Hmmm... you are still not 100% sure what the meaning of this is, but you think that sooner or later knowing this might be useful to you. [[Go back to the corridor|The corridor]]

You entered the living romm. It is completely dark! [[Turn the lights on|Happy birthday!!!]] [[Go back to sleep]]

(live: 1s)[ (if: $tempo_bagno is 0)[ (stop:) You died of asphyxia. [[Start again|Good morning!]] ] (else: )[ (set: $tempo_bagno to it - 1) Your brother is in here. He is... well let's just say the smell is unbearable! You have to go out of here immediately, otherwise you will die. What is 12 x 12? Answer quickly to get out of here: [[120]] [[132]] [[144]] You still have $tempo_bagno seconds before dying of asphyxia. ] ]

Wrong answer! Go [[back|BathroomTimer]] and try again.

Your answer is correct! Now you can go back to the [[corridor|The corridor]]

You chose to enter the living room. The living room's door, however, looks different: instead of the door handle you see a small keypad: (font: "monospace")[ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 _ 0 _ ] Above the keypad there is a small display with the following message: (font: "monospace")[Insert the secret code] What will you do? [[Go back to the corridor|The corridor]] [[Try entering the code|The keypad]]

(put: (prompt: "Enter the secret code") into $codice) (if: $codice is "5872")[ You entered the correct code: the door opens. [[Enter the living room|The living room]] ] (else:)[ You entered the wrong code. [[Retry|The living room's door]] ]

#HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Before your eyes get accustomed to the light, you hear voices wishing you a happy birthday. Everyone is here, including Lorenzo who just left the bathroom (hopefully he opened the window!). There are no face masks. On the table you can see an English breakfast and a birthday cake with eight candles. Everyone starts singing happy birthday... it is time to make a wish! When you are ready... [[Blow the candles off]]

You manage to blow all the candles off with a single, powerful blow! Daddy says: "Chicco, to get here you trained your intelligence and strength. You survived the bathroom and solved riddles along the way. Today we do not celebrate just your birthday, but every sigle day that made you the awesome person you are today. And for the following ones... May your wishes come true!" Daddy hugs you. Happy birthday! (if: $porta_rotta is 1)[ Looking back at the corridor behind you, daddy sees that you have destroyed your room's door. # FEDERICOOOOO!!! ] THE END :-)

You choose to pretend everything's ok. Maybe your dad is just kidding you! - Come on! Time to rise! - he says, going out of the room. [[Wake Lorenzo up]] [[Get out of your bedroom]]

You decide to test your dad with another question, something only your *real* daddy can answer: - Is ''Loredano'' up yet? - Lo... ah yes, your brother! Of course he's up, you know he's a morning guy... Come on, it is time for you to get prepared too, you don't want to be late at school! Now you are certain: the person you are talking to is not your dad! But what happened? Where is your real dad? And where's Lorenzo? [[Call Lorenzo]] [[Run away]]

You choose to call your brother, so you scream: # LORENZOOOOO!!! Suddenly, you hear your brother scream too: # AAAAAAAH!!! Lollo jumps out of his bed and falls directly on yours! It is still dark, there is nobody else except you two... You were having a bad dream and your scream woke up both of you. - HMmmm what happened, Chicco? - Lorenzo says - Nothing - you answer - I was just having a bad dream Lollo kisses you on your forehead and goes back to his bed. [[Try to sleep again|Good morning!]]

You chose to run away! You dash out of your bed and... # TUNK! You fall from your bed! You realise it was just a bad dream, it is still night and there is nobody else in your room. Your book light is on. You call Lollo and he replies with a "Mmmmmhhh!" from his bed. You feel safe now, so you can [[try sleeping again|Good morning!]]
