You creep up to Melon as silently as possible, and grab the book. You then slam the pages together with extreme force, and after a brief moment of self satisfaction and smugness, realise that worms don't actually have noses. Melon stares at you angrily, and then swiftly stabs you in the heart, before reopening the book and continuing to read.

You silently glide towards Melon and float next to him, but he is too engrossed in his book to notice you. You begin to prepare mystical feats in order to scare him, and root through the various non-descript items on the floor looking for props. You find an interesting amulet titled the "Amulet of Regeneration", and upon touching it, you are showered in a beam of light and regain your physical form. Unfortunately, you're still floating when ths happens, and your unscheduled meeting with the floor breaks a tooth.
YOU HAVE COME BACK TO LIFE!

You run up to Melon and go to kick him, but all of a sudden you remember that you're a worm, and you don't have any feet or legs. You decide to run away anyway, but during the sprint, you realise that you can't actually run due to the aformentioned lack of appropriate appendages, and as a result you immediately fall over. You are now back where you started, but with some small damage to your ego.
You lose 3 cool points. You have 27 remaining.

You prod Melon. It's not a kick, but you decide that it'll have to do for now. He fails to notice. You prod him again. He continues to read his book. He's so engrossed, you're clearly going to need something a bit more powerful. You decide you might as well run out of the door anyway. You zoom out of the door into incoming traffic and get hit by a truck.

> Grow legs, and proceed to kick Melon and run for it.
You search through the various non-descript items on the floor for a satchet of toxic waste, and drink it. You slowly mutate, and eventually grow some legs and feet. Unfortunately, they're microscopic in size. You decide it's good enough and attempt to kick Melon, but it's awkward and you end up looking like you're hula dancing instead. You decide it might be more constructive to just lunge at him feet first instead, and do so. Despite this, Melon remains unfazed, and turns the page of his book and continues to read. You're clearly going to need to make more of an impact.
Finally, you look at the thread title, and even though it wasn't technically a kick, you spontaneously combust into ludicrous gibs. Melon wipes the flesh off of his book and continues to read.

You walk over to Melon and hand him the pie. He thanks you and messily devours the pie. After he has eaten it, his face slowly begins to drop, and he puts his hand on his stomach. He groans.
Melon burps. "Sorry about that. Pies always give me wind." He picks up his book and continues to read it. "Oh, and here, take this." He thrusts a piece of paper into your hand. It has "voucher" written on it, but doesn't specify an amount.

> GO East to floating ? block
> USE italian plumber on floating ? block
You go EAST. You are standing under the creepy floating ? block.
You try to place the Italian plumber on top of the block, but it is too high. Instead, you try to throw him onto the block, but your aim is poor and he hits his head on the underside of the block. He falls down to the ground, and runs away into a piece of green piping on the floor. Oddly, he doesn't appear out of the other end.
You look up at the floating block. It suddenly turns into a strandard crate, and falls on top of you, crushing you to death. You have an out of body experience, and notice a flower on top of the crate.

You find a pen and a huge stack of paper and proceed to write out the book. Once you've finished, you walk over to Melon and hand it to him. Melon reads the title. "101 Funee Wayz 2 Kil Me". He decides it looks interesting and hands you the strategy guide. Elated, you decide to start reading it. "Use the italian plumber on the creepy floating ? block to obtain a suspiciou....". "Oooh, here's a good one!" interrupts Melon, and suddenly charges into you, sending you flying backwards out of the broken doorway and into oncoming traffic. You get hit by a truck and die instantly.

You do so, however, all of the matches except the last one managed to light up, and so you are now out of matches. The dynamite makes a fantastic candle however, and as you walk into the darkened room, you notice more candles hanging on the walls. You proceed to light them all, and soon the room is light up with the power of a thousand Suns. Unfortunately, newspapers aren't very bright. However, the room is light enough for you to see inside it clearly.
You look around the room.
To the WEST you notice an old rusty ladder leading to a wooden walkway above. You can't see what's on the walkway. Unfortunately, the ladder looks very old and dangerous.
To the NORTH is a huge shelf full of books.

You read the titles of the books.
Falling Off Cliffs by Eileen Dover
Rusty Bedsprings by I. P. Nightly
Dead Celebrities by L. Viss
You soon realise that you're looking in the joke book title section. You look further along the shelf.
Hackerman's Guide to Hacking
1001 Humourous Ways to Kill thomasp
Slick's Book of 101 Great Chat up Lines
Forum News - The Book of the Movie of the Cartoon Series of the Comic Strip
_Kilburn's Guide to Making Weapons
You notice that the shelf has been put up so precariously that taking off more than one book at a time will cause the destruction of the universe. You wonder if it's a cunning ploy to prevent cluttering up your inventory.

You throw the boot onto the roof and it snags onto a protruding piece of roof. You pull on the shoelace and test if it will hold your weight. When it appears to do so, you climb up onto the roof. Once you have climbed up onto the roof a strange mist descends upon the area, preventing any description of the surounding area. You can hear oncoming traffic to the South.
You look around the roof of the warehouse. You see some bits of metal piping on top of the roof to the secret room.

> Tie the sturdy bootlace to the wooden walkway
You tie a loop into the bootlace and lasso it onto part of the walkway. It magically becomes infused with the walkway and becomes a permanent feature. You won't be able to use it for another purpose again, but you can climb up it onto the walkway.

You lift up two books off of the shelf. A rift forms in the fragile fabric of space time, one with the power to destroy the universe!

You flick through the book and read number 326, entitled "Driver 5, the voodoo curse". You read the passage, and then pick up the voodoo doll and screwdriver and plunge the screwdriver into the eye of the doll. Inside a space-time rift, thomasp's eye explodes. You put the items back onto the table.

You stagger around for ages looking for the treasure chest until you realise it's in your inventory. You smash Star Worms around the back of the head with it, and he suffers a fatal concussion. It remains locked and intact, but Star Worms falls onto the voodoo doll and you are promptly crusehed to death.

You take the voodoo doll and hide it in your inside jacket pocket. You begin climbing up the rusty ladder. It looks dangerous, but seems to be solid enough. However, just before you reach the top, you notice Paul is already up there, and you look across at the rope he used toclimb up. You feel silly. Suddenly, the ladder gives way for no apparent reason, and you fall to the floor. As you land, part of the ladder falls of and plummets downwards, impaling you through the heart. To make matters worse, the piece of ladder also fell through your jacket pocket and imapled the voodoo doll. Giving you double the pain.

You shoot the lightgun in a random direction. Every time you fire it, somebody falls out of some sort of cover and fades away when they land on the floor. You put the gun away. You fear you might hurt somebody you care about.

> somehow manage to have the screwdriver in my pockets or whatever I'm carrying things around in. then unscrew the piping, being careful not to let it fall off the roof if the roof is slanted at all.
You pull the screwdriver out of your inventory. You don't dare question the logic behind how you can do that. You unscrew the loose piping and place it into your inventory.

You whack the lock on the chest with the screwdriver with extreme force. The screwdriver snaps in half, making it unusable. The chest remains as locked as ever.

You try to open the door. It appears to be locked from the other side. Because this is a game, you realise that this means you have no hope of opening it unless you're on the other side.

Melon says "Because it would be silly if you won points by losing."

Actaully, I was getting quite tired of coming up with amusing responses to your commands on this. So I think I'll end it here. It was fun while it lasted.
In case people were wondering, I had actually decided on a puzzle to finish this, but I guess it was quite complicated. If you read the last book on the shelf, _Kilburn's Guide to Making Weapons, it'd tell you you could make a powerful gun from sticking piping on the end of another gun. So you'd combing the piping with the lightgun, sticking it together with the blu-tack, then stick the result into the vending machine to get a powerful gun that didn't fire. You'd then stick the rubber chicken into the vending machine and get a real chicken, then feed it the flower to roast it. You'd eat it, and the key to the chest was inside. Inside the chest was a firing mechanism for the gun, and you'd use it to make a proper gun, which you'd shoot Melon with to win. The glove did nothing.
But yeah. Maybe I'll start another version at some point. Thanks for playing.
