This thread is meant to be done in the style of an old school slash command computer game. You know the ones I'm talking about. It is meant to be fun and not too serious, though not completely insane and ridiculous as well.
One person posts a bit of the story in response to the previous poster's Slash Command. They then post their own command for the next poster to respond to.
(e.g.: Poster A: There is a door in front of you.
Poster A: /open the door
Poster B: The door swings open. Inside you find a crab army.
Poster B: /heat up some butter. )
This is just a short example of what's to be expected. The longer and more thought out the response, the better the story will be!

You awake in a cold sweat, head throbbing with pain from an unknown source. You lie on your back, a dark dank ceiling is above you. Sitting up, you examine your surroundings as your vision becomes less blurred. You appear to be in a very old jail cell. It is dark; a pool of liquid sits in one corner while droplets from the ceiling falls to increase it's size with a drip drip dripping noise. The walls are all made of stone and the bars of metal. There is a lone torch burning in the small hallway outside the cell. A lone sheet of parchment is posted on the wall across from your cell. The light allows you to see the writing on it, although it's heavily faded, as if it's been left for years. It reads: "Arch..uth Castle p.trol sch.dule" from what you can read.
