Barbarian Invasion
Jack: What could be valuable to him in this house? There should be something left, something in the rooms. By the way, we could use good acoustics – we'll have a cozy chat with the Puppeteer.
Task: Go through the unknown room in the words mode.
Jack: Books, exactly! I bet his only friends are punctuation marks and letters. Psychos don't have it any other way. I know, I know, it brings a whiff of bad pages of world history and you won't like it, but we must get to him.
Jack climbs the stairs, easily eluding the noose. Studies the shelves with the books. Takes one that interests him most.
Jack: Do you know that no animal will kill another just on a sudden whim or because it's bored? Only a human is capable of that. And if that's what makes us human, then you are a perfect representative of mankind! The standard whose place is in the Standards Department.
Jack opens the book in the middle, tears out a page slowly and throws it in the air. The page glides down, and before it touches the floor, there are several pages in the air.
Jack: When we ran you close, you decided to spit on your own rules? You told us not to touch rats, and then you go and poison them just because I had a great idea?
The sound of pages being torn out never stops. There's only a cover left of the first book, and Jack throws it into the fireplace. He moves to leave, but something on the coffee table catches his eye.
Jack: Hey, you! I found you a present - a magnifying glass. You can use it to set ants on fire when you get braver.
Jack throws the magnifying glass at the camera with all his strength. He misses it, though.
You completed Jack’s task. You received some points of freedom and some tokens
Jack: He's quiet. Must be thinking about what to say or ignoring us. That won't stop us anyway. Damn, those were my rats! And stop staring at me like that. I chose the silliest trashy novel, by the way.
