<h3 class='date'>February 13th</h3> Has it been a year already? Seems so. 364 days -- a lot of seconds. These passed in a blur. A grey monotonous blur. Countless carbon copies of the same colorless day. Since the accident. Still, tomorrow will be [[different|intro2]].

<h1 class='floorName'>ζ̅th heaven</h1> The carpet-covered stairs reach the seventh and final floor. A vending machine stands in a corner. vending machine macro. Purple swinging doors block your way. They bear lascivious brass embellishments and the twin handles resemble spread legs. This is the dreaded yet desired point of no return. [[Push them appart.|topCorridor]]

The heavy fire-proof doors swing out of the way. A corridor stretches in front of you. Rows of rooms on either sides. The floor here is covered in purple carpet, yet it appears to gradually turn white up ahead. <<adel 'Advance.'>> <<app>> White petals lie on the ground. Rare at first, they quickly form an even layer. Thousands of slender petals, rounded at one end. The light floral layer gives under your feet uncomfortably. Just how many?

Reach the end of the corridor in a dream-like state. The final set of doors.

The hot air hits you like a wave, engulfs you. That and the smell, it is a pungent mix of perfume, sweat, spices, candy, leather. Memories come flooding in, everything down to the most minute detail is the exact same as you remember. A hard lump forms in your throat. Cold sweat. It's not about the memories you have, it's about the ones you lack... <<adel 'Breath in, swallow.'>> <<after '' t8n>> Nice and deep. The lobby is square with lounge areas on either sides and a circular front desk. Pink lighting strips run down the wall inset under dark soundproof panels, plunging the space in a cozy semi-darkness. Laughter and quiet discussions come from the few clients lying on the deep purple couches. These are a merry and scantily clad crowd. <<say "I don't belong here.">> You remove the now unbearably hot coat and advance toward the [[front desk|intro8]], suitcase in hand. <</adel>>

The second floor archon is actually waiting for you in his room. Had heard of your arrival and gotten curious. Mentions the earlier experience one year ago, says that it is common to come back, for one reason or another. The missing suitcase gear can be found after defeating him, including the shotgun.

The floor 3 archon is giving a lengthy lecture on gnostic values to a small crowd. This can be interrupted at any moment but clicking 'cut the crap'. If not the archon will finally notice the player.

Is everything ready? You know it is, you checked already. The off-white suitcase sits on the bed, closed, neatly packed. <div class='choice'> <<a 'Check it one more time.'>> <<rep '' 't8n'>> <<include [[suitcase]]>> <<say 'Everything the body needs.'>> <<app '#p' 't8n'>>It is late already.

You twist and turn in bed. Slipping into dreamless oblivion has not been an issue for the past year. 12 hours -- 14 sometimes -- spent in thoughtless abandonment. How much time does one really spend living? It's been a year already. Felt like yesterday, still feels like it. You really should get some sleep. <div class='choice'> [[Reach for the pills.|intro4]] <<a 'Don\'t trust the drugs, sleep will come eventually'>> <<rep '' 't8n'>> You twist and turn some more.

<h3 class='date'>February 14th</h3> You carry the heavy suitcase on your way to the bus stop. An opaque winter fog blankets the small country road. Frost-covered grass crunches under your steps. The bus is empty at this early hour, the drowsy driver mumbles as you get in. <<a '"Really is cold today, hey?"'>><<say '. . .'>><<rep '' 't8n'>>Nah, nevermind...<</a>> <<a '"Guess you don\'t see many people at this hour."'>><<say '. . .'>><<rep '' 't8n'>>Nah, nevermind...<</a>> <<a '"Hey, don\'t go falling asleep on the wheel, I can\'t drive that thing."'>><<say '. . .'>><<rep '' 't8n'>>Nah, nevermind...<</a>> Detached houses spread far and wide, off-white, dark garden, tall hedges. Then the brick terraced houses, endlessly identical. The bus stops [[near a shody square|intro5]].

The building stands tall and dark under the white February sky. The neon front sign spells : <h1>Grand Pleroma Hotel</h1> Initiates refer to it as the GPH -- brothel, love hotel, whatever you want to call it. Despite the early hour you know the inside is as lively as ever. It always is. The Hotel is 24/7, it has its own time, it is a separate world where one does not think about the outside. <<adel 'Check your wallet'>> <<after '' t8n>> It even has its own currency, you examine the 54. <</adel>> Those nicely curtained windows are just for show. Daylight does not reach inside, you know it. Warm, pink artificial lighting, at all hours of the day -- and night. [[Go in.|intro6]]

Floor 4 is a labyrinth of tight corridors and curtained dead-ends.

You push the heavy door which swings silently shut behind you. The antechamber is carpetted from floor to ceiling with plush dark red carpet. You realize just how quiet this place is compared to the outside. The elegantly-dressed bouncer stares you down and asks : "Business or pleasure?" <<a '"Business."'>> <<say 'Business.'>> <<rep '' 't8n'>> "Pleasurable business I hope." he laughs. <<app '#p' 't8n'>> The bouncer swiftly opens the door in front of you.

"Please [[come in|intro7]]." <</a>> <<a '"Pleasure."'>> <<say 'Pleasure.'>> <<rep '' 't8n'>> "Very well. Have a good time." he whispers. <<app '#p' 't8n'>> The bouncer swiftly opens the door in front of you. Holding it ajar. You can feel the heat, see the warm pink light inside, hear the muffled music.

A woman wearing glasses and a Pleroma-branded suit turns to you with a smile. "Welcome to the GPH." "First time here?" <<adel '"It is."'>> <<say 'It is.'>> <<rep '' 't8n'>> The woman stares at you over her glasses and smiles. "In this case I wish you a great first experience.

Skipping the intro means entering the GPH through a back entrance and getting into combat directly with the whole arsenal.

The woman stares at you over her glasses and smiles. "In this case I wish you a great first experience. The GPH is a place like no other!" No shit...

"Coming back for more I see. Love to hear it!" The woman smile radiantly.

Her walk is brisk, she leads you down a flight of carpeted stairs toward a dimly lit corridor. "Showers and dressing rooms are here on the right, in case you want to get ready." She eyes the heavy suitcase. The heat seems to increase as you dive deeper inside the secluded world. The cold winter sky so far out of view in the plush darkness. "Please wait here. I will come back to you as soon as your partner arrives." She stands aside to let you in a small cinnamon-scented room. Two deep armchairs and a transparent coffee table are crammed in the tight space. "Please let me know if you need anything." <<adel '"How long have you been working here?"'>> <<say "How long have you been working here?">> <<rep '' t8n>> "I have been doing this for almost four years now.", she seems lost in thoughts for a second. "Time flies." Do you remember her from last time? Impossible to say. <</adel>> <<adel '"What is it about this place?"'>> <<say "What is it about this place?">> <<rep '' t8n>> Once again, the woman smile. "The Grand Pleroma is not any club or love hotel. It is a way of life. We are open to anyone, at any time, for anything... for the right price of course." "And I hope this stay convinces you of it." <</adel>> The elegant host takes her leave. A pink neon right on the ceiling bathes the room in its kitch hue. On the wall, you notice a poster bearing the word "Ascend". The lighting and the heavily reclined chair make you drowsy. [[Open the suitcase, get ready.|intro11]]

<<set _names = ['Bologna, Sophia', 'Equin, Georges', 'Shopmann, William', 'Berry, Tran', 'Gilda', 'Valensky, Vincent', 'Rasputin', 'Tastic, Gwen', 'Corinth', 'Murakami, Ryu', 'SloopyFeel', 'Kossuth, Lajos', 'Amora, Manon' ]>> She pauses for a second before swiftly scribbling your name on the tag. The coat vanishes in the dark storage room dehind the desk. <<say 'Did she figure it out?'>> The elegant receptionist returns with the usual smile. "Are you meeting someone?" <<adel '"Yes, I am."'>><<say "Yes, I am.">> <<after '' t8n>> "Name is <<arrowbox '$name' wrap type-in>><<optionsfrom _names>><</arrowbox>>." The woman leans down toward an inset computer screen. "I am sorry, they have not arrived yet. Follow me, I will show you where the [[waiting room|intro10]] is." <</adel>>

You hoist the suitcase on the small table and unzip it. <<include [[suitcase]]>> <<reveal 'The door opens.'>> <<run $('#suitcase').remove(); $('body').removeClass('intro')>> <<shake>> A man rushes in, knocks the table over. <<step 'The f...'>><<say 'The f...'>><<shake>> Adrenaline.

Doors on either side pass by. How many? Which way? <<say "Hold on, don't vomit.">> "You knew yet you came back." Focus. <<adel '"Fuck off."'>> <<say "Fuck off.">> <<rep>> Is someone walking behind you? The receptionist? <</adel>> <<adel '"Got no memories from... last time..."'>> <<say "Got no memories from... last time...">> <<rep>> "It's better than way." The man snorts noisily. Broken nose, no doubt. "Should have kept out of it." <</adel>> You stop in front of a small broom-closet-looking room. "Just wait in there, your partner will arrive soon." You are forcibly pushed inside, meeting the tile floor as the [[door locks behind you|hotelEscape1]].

<<done>><<say "So, which way?">><</done>> You stumble out into the dark corridor. Pink neon light rains down from a long recessed fixture in the ceiling. <<a 'Go left.' trigger 'rev'>><<rep>> Left it is. <</a>> <<a 'Go right.' trigger 'rev'>><<rep>> Right it is. <</a>> <<on 'rev' '' hidden>> Doors, all similar, line up on either sides at regular interval. Like rooms in an hotel, or cells in a prison. <<reveal 'Try to open one.'>><<say 'No luck.'>> Locked. What are those anyway? <<step 'Another one?'>><<say 'Son of a...'>> Same deal. Broom lockers? Waiting rooms similar to the one you saw before? <<step 'Third time the charm?'>><<say 'Piece of shit!'>> Closed. Don't waste time, keep going. Gotta retrieve the suitcase. <<step 'Ok, last one...'>><<say 'At last.'>> The door open on a [[small room|chocoRoom]] which holds a pink sofa and an elegant pedestal table. Ain't got time for that, [[keep going|hotelEscape3]] <</reveal>> <</on>>

The space is small, just wide enough for the length of the sofa. A smell of cold tobacco hangs in the still air. A rectangular velvet-covered box lies on the tall octogonal table. <<reveal 'Open it.'>> <<say 'Not bad...'>> <<set $player.consummables.chocolates = 5>> Chocolates. The box holds five heart-shaped chocolates. <<step 'Eat one.'>><<run Item.chocolates.use()>> Tasty. <<step 'Another one.'>><<run Item.chocolates.use()>> Invigorating. <<step 'One more.'>><<run Item.chocolates.use()>> Better not to overdo it.

<<say 'Time for payback.'>> A man wearing a suit exits an adjacent room, carrying an off-white suitcase. Nose covered in white surgical tape. "Wha..." <<adel "Fight.">> <<after>> And... this is where the demo ends... The fight system still needs a lot of polish. Thanks for playing! <</adel>>

<<say 'Still breathing...'>> You step over the man's immobile body. <<adel 'Search him.'>> <<after>> That broken nose is the least of his worries now... You swipe a dark leather wallet from his front pocket. Item found : keycards Item found : <<money 45>> <</adel>> The white suitcase's contents lie scattered on the carpeted floor. Baseball bat, chocolates, revolver, ammunitions... <<adel 'Gather your stuff.'>> <<after>> Items retrieved. The shotgun is missing however. <<say 'Shit!'>> [[Check the adjacent room.|adjRoom]] <</adel>> [[Gotta get going.|hotelEscape5]]

You stumble back, ready for another blow. <<reveal 'Nothing.'>> No one in your narrowed field of view. <<step 'Breath.'>> Your lungs are on fire. Your whole body aches. <<step 'Focus.'>> <<say 'Focus'>> Your head hurts and you realize just how narrow your field of vision is. Like wearing a motorcycle helmet. <<step 'Come on.'>> Someone else might come, gotta hurry. At least [[retrieve your weapons|hotelEscape4]] before they do. <</reveal>>

See the items!

You recognize the waiting room. The two armchairs, the "ascend" poster on the wall. A keychain lies on the transparent coffee table. <<adel 'Snatch it.'>> <<after>> <<say 'Let\'s see what this opens.'>> Item : Keychain <</adel>> Maybe if you wait here the "partner" will show up? This one too will get a piece of your mind. Better [[get going|hotelEscape5]], this place holds all matters of tricks.

What if the bouncer gets up? What if he calls for help? How much time do you have before the situation becomes very dire? Put a bullet in his head, while you're near. Feel the weight of the revolver. Can you kill a man? What if he doesn't call for help? Then the gunshot would be more noisy. Are you capable of killing? Do not shy away from the question, face it. --- Set out to find a way up. Stairs, not elevator. Look around for a disguise : [[findDisguise]]. Or don't, go in guns blazing. [[Climb the stairs.|floor1]]

You hurry

Nothing to see yet.
