Teenage Emergency

The Story So Far
----------------
Most of us can remember the traumatic times of our "schooldays" and how what we always
thought were "good ideas" were regarded by parents and the like as "devilish pranks"
and worthy of chastisement - What happened, were they never young themselves or had they
just forgotten what it had been like to be footloose and fancy-free?

So it was with Aubrey Jemima Gareth Wildebeest - life was bad enough with a "handle" like the
but then also having to live in Surbiton was more than a boy of thirteen could hope to deal
with. Having such frightfully "nice" parents and "snooty" neighbors and their children
was a sure reason for him having to rebel, or at least it was to him.

After months of ignoring their offspring's attempts to get back at them for his hideous
monicker, the Wildebeests had finally been thrown out of their lethargy on that fateful
day - February 1st. A day on which, according to local custom, the traditional ritual of
forgetting to turn the calendar over takes place. These twenty four hours had seen our
"hero" take naughtiness to new heights as he sabotaged his mother's "coffee morning" with
ample supplies of itching-powder and comedy hand-buzzers. Then he had moved on to the
obscure practice of holding mock pagan rituals in order to frighten the school's religious
education teacher beyond belief. Finally he moved on to releasing a flock of woodpeckers
towards the vicinity of his grandfather's wooden-leg!!!

These acts of insubordination brought forth threats of his body parts being sold off to
the local chemical-factory for medical research ... such are the acts of desperate parents.

Aubrey fell asleep that night wondering if his peril was for real and if so which "part"
would be the first to go. The next day he awoke to find that he was still "intact" but
that unless he got a move on he was going to be late for school - normally nothing to
worry about but with such a "threat" hanging over his head perhaps it would be wiser to
make the effort towards punctuality. After all, he could not afford to upset the family
any more if he wanted to make it to the end of the week with *all* his organs still intact.

Stealthily Aubrey rose to go downstairs, intending to get ready and head for school with
the minimum of fuss ... Some Hope!!!!



Notes
-----
This game will accept all the usual commands, though such ones as THROW, RAISE, JUMP and
SEARCH will prove to be most useful when used in the correct place and context. Always
use the commands SAVE and LOAD in order to store a permanent record on tape or disk but
the likes of RAMSAVE and RAMLOAD will prove useful when it comes to making a temporary
record of your progress through a session of play.



Hints
-----
With a bit of luck you should be able to locate the ice-cream seller but beware, his cones
are almost impervious to flames, oil and even teeth!!!
