My afternoon, Zork-style

You are standing on Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market. It's a sunny Thursday afternoon, and the Market is bustling. Don't these people have jobs?

There are exits to the north, south, east, and west.

>S

You push your way south along Augusta.

>E

You are now on Baldwin St.

>S

You are now on Kensington. A store advertises multicoloured keffiyehs under a sign that says: "Rock the Casbah."

>OH HELL NO

Sorry about that. Fucking hipsters.

>E

You turn onto St. Andrew. You are standing in front of Moonbean.

>ENTER MOONBEAN

There are approximately 200 varieties of fair trade, shade-grown, organic coffee. Is there any one in particular you'd like?

>ALL OF THEM

I'm sorry, I do not understand that command.

>OKAY, ETHIOPIAN

Yum! You are now caffeinated.

>EXIT MOONBEAN

You turn onto St. Andrew. You are standing in front of Moonbean.

>N

You turn onto Baldwin.

>W

You turn onto Augusta.

>BUY EMPANADAS

The spicy salsa verde ones?

>HELLS YES

Good call.

>N

You are standing on Augusta in front of that yuppie craft store; the vanguard of gentrification in the neighbourhood.

>GO IN

Are you sure?

>Y

Holy fuck, they have a Soviet military kitsch stand!

>MY FETISHES HAVE BEEN CO-OPTED

Tell me about it.

>BUY AVIATOR GOGGLES

You cannot has.

>EXIT

You are standing on Augusta Ave.

>N

You walk north and stop at the corner of Brunswick and Bloor. The patio of Future Bakery is almost full. Seriously, where do these people work that they can get a Thursday afternoon off?

>ENTER FUTURES

Your entrance startles a Marxist study group sitting by the front door.

>JOIN STUDY GROUP

Sorry, you are not a grad student.

>BUY MORE COFFEE

Fortunately, the option of mindless consumption is still open to you.

>SIT ON THE PATIO AND DRINK COFFEE UNTIL CLASS STARTS

Fuck yes!
