== the_cinema ==

The lobby has a very retro, synth-wave, neon, 70s look to it. The carpet alone makes your eyes hurt. This is not a cheeky metaphor for its ugliness. Your eyes really hurt when you stare at it for any length of time because the shades of blue and red, mixed together on it in geometric patterns, are so bright they make your vision dance in the low light. At a glance, something in the part of your brain that is responsible for processing visual data seems to short-circuit and you see the patterns move against each other, impossibly on the static floor.

Better look to the ceiling with its wavy cutouts backlit by colorful LED.

The ticket booth is unmanned of course, as is the snack dispensary. Which seems well stocked at least. The popcorn even looks fresh. Well, it smells fresh at least. The scent of pleasantly burned sugar is heavy in the air.

The ribbon barrier is closed but easy enough to bypass. Is it closed? It looks open. Though abandoned. But not for long. Not the abandonment of disrepair, only the momentary abandonment place like this experience between beginning and end of the shows. When all the visitors sit in their seats and the staff takes this moment to slip away for a quick smoke break. Something like that. Full behind doors but empty in the open.

You can even hear sounds that must be a film playing. Screams and gunfire. You hope someone left the door to that particular theatre open and that is why you can hear it so clearly. Because if the sound insulation is that shit, the movie going experience can't be very good here.

* [Slip under the ticket barrier]
    You raise the ribbon of the barrier and duck under it. Almost without a thought.
    -> the_foliar
* [Go to the ticket booth]
    The graspable of the ticket booth is plastered with advertisements, movie posters and prohibition signs informing visitors of behaviours and attire within the cinema. The slip you took for a "closed" sign that hangs in the middle of the glass says the following.

    "No tickets required. Proceed with caution."

    On the little table where someone would place their tickets, there is another slip reading:

    "Warning:

    Everyone is free to enter.

    But it is advised only to visit the auditoriums where no film is currently being played.

    As the films are a bit extreme for most audiences.

    Thank you for your visit!"
    ** [Go into the cinema]
        You can open the flimsy barrier from here. It is secured right next to where you stand. So you enter the foliar.
        -> the_foliar
    ** [Leave the cinema] You leave.
        -> END

-> the_foliar


== the_foliar ==

The foliar is big. With couches to wait and meet and lounge on. The room is only broken up by advertising columns. Some of them display movie posters, though most are empty.

A long bar stretches the length of the back wall. Behind it chips and candy are stacked on shelves like those of an actual bar. It even has a mirrored backwall, which visually multiplies the colourful packaging. This pattern is only broken by enormous popcorn machines, which are full to the brim.

Do you want to grab a snack?
* [Of course]
    ~ snaks = 1
    ** [Sweet] You grab a sweet snack. You are lucky. They have your favourite.
        ~ had_sweets = 1
    ** [Salty] You grab a salty snack. You are lucky. They have your favourite.
* [I don't think so] You better not risk it.
