A Christmas Game (Inform Port) — 13 of 15

Section 12 - The Garden Centre

The garden centre is a room.

The description of the garden centre is "You see a sign that says 'Xmas Trees this way ------->' You follow the arrow to find a very empty looking section of the Garden centre.

Scattered on the cold concrete floor are broken twigs, needles, and small branches of Christmas trees. There is one tree left."

The garden centre is southwest of the Town Square.

Instead of smelling The Garden Centre:

Say "You can smell the sweet pine odour of Christmas Trees."

Instead of listening to The Garden Centre:

Say "It is very quiet in here, looks like you missed the rush of the shoppers."

The Christmas Tree is an object.

The Christmas Tree is inside the garden centre.

The description of the christmas tree is "The last Christmas Tree left in the shop, probably because it's so small, but it's perfect for your cramped lounge."

Instead of taking the christmas tree:

Say "You don't have enough money to pay for it."

The Gardener is a person.

The Gardener is inside the garden centre.

The description of the Gardener is "A stout, weather worn man, wearing denim dungarees which are streaked with mud, muddy work boots, and a black donkey jacket. Bald save for a small patch of grey hair above each ear."

Instead of talking to the Gardener:

Say "'Hello Sir, how can I help you?' He wipes his brow, 'It's been one hell of a busy day, but glad people like my trees so much!'"

Instead of giving Dung Cup to Gardener:

Say "

The Gardener's face lights up, 'Reindeer dung! Wow, this stuff is as rare as rocking horse shite, one of the best fertilisers known to man! Ample payment for the Christmas Tree'.

He hands you the Christmas Tree and pats you on the back.";

Move Christmas tree to player;

Now Dung Cup is nowhere;

Increase quest_count by 1.

Instead of asking Gardener about "Christmas tree":

Say "'Yes we've one left, but I can't give it away for free.'"

Instead of asking Gardener about "Tree":

Say "'Yes we've one left, but I can't give it away for free.'"

Instead of asking Gardener about "fertiliser":

Say "The secret to growing great Christmas trees, but a right hassle and expense getting hold of the decent stuff."

Instead of asking Gardener about "reindeer":

Say "The Gardner goes all misty-eyed, 'Ah, Reindeer Dung, guano of the gods'".

Instead of dropping Christmas Tree:

Say "you don't want to drop the tree, you want to take it home for Christmas!".
