You find yourself in a birdbath cathedral. Every flat surface has an equal, square area with one central, circular depression filled with water. A corridor stretches into darkness, endless lines of pools sitting as still as carbon. Each cubic module making up the pathway is condensed ash, as black as obsidian.\n\nThe water, which grows more cold and frosty as you bumble forward, always stays affixed firmly to its surface, whether wall or ceiling.\n\n[[> FORGE ON AHEAD]]

You are in the Van Pelt toyroom, which is located beneath the Van Pelt gallery and above a graveyard-queendom of forty billion spiral-shaped psychiatric booths run by Lucy 1, who is pretending to be an amnesiac to defraud people of their nickels.\n\nThe toyroom has lots of blocks and a tiny wax horse, which lies untouched in the corner.\n\nLinus 212 exists in seventeen different iterations here, playing with blocks and arranging them into Fibonacci-based patterns.\nEach iteration is a month older and exactly ten percent larger than the last.

Most are under the assumption that there is nothing outside.\n\nThey are completely wrong, and today, you - Woodsnoopy 799 - will find out what lies in the Uncharted Zones.\n\nEnter life in [[the Fiefdom of Mounds]]...

You stick a single bleary eye into the hole and peer around.\n\nOutside is an utterly red sea of roiling fog and what looks like glass plates with identical copies of frozen mistballs locked inside.\nThis extends forever in every direction.\n\nRidging the outside of the tight sweater-vein is balcony of thin, lumpy orbs the color of white flesh, congealed like boiled gumballs\nand lightly dusted with thin, translucent hair.\n\nA squirrely, buzzing dot flickers around the top of the void, flying so far up that your eyes have to roll painfully back in their sockets to see it.\nIt approaches and recedes every few seconds. Soon it becomes apparent that it is a Schroeder head and neck, gasping like a fish. His cone-shaped neck tapers and throbs.\n\n[[> STOP LOOKING]]
You're //still// in a meadow of frolicking Snoopies. Snoopies burble out of the ground and spurt strings of buoyant goo from their abdomens, ballooning into the sky and floating away.\n\nThe meadow's ends are fraying and curving upwards. Red and yellow hair spew from the pores in the surface of the soil, questing and grasping as a flame. You stop to notice an out-of-place Franklin in the distance, whose head instantly shifts to occupy spaces several feet to the left and right of his neck.\n\nA gargantuan redness makes itself known to the sky. Some sort of floating building miming a sun, illuminating with none of its warmth. Something sits astride it, clutching its reins.\n\nSuddenly, a Snoopy jumps onto your back. A Snoopy jumps onto your front. A lanky, wormlike Snoopy inveigles its way up the holes in your feet.\n\n> HUP\n\n> HUP\n\n> HUP\n\n> IT'S\n\n[[> SUPPERTIME]]
> I WAS EXCOMMUNICATED BY MY PITCHER AT MOUND EIGHT.\n > I, TOO, FROM MOUND NINETEEN.\n> FROM NOW ON WE ARE A CLAN.\n > AGREEABLE. GOOD GRIEF!!\n\nLinus 99911 is crushed by a falling zamboni.\nTrees sprout hungrily from his liquified corpse, clutching the zamboni and tearing out its engine.\nThe whole mess turns grey and freezes still. Snow continues to fall.\n\n[[> KISS THE REMAINS]]
You spread your stubby wings, rub your aching feet, and spring off into the air, full of Woodsnoopy pride.\n\nIt is your first time you experience the feeling of arrogant awe and speechless beauty.\n\nYou soar onwards into the night, leaving behind the giants and their games.\nYou extend in dimensions you didn't realize existed and find yourself in a grove of trees that is also a clump of crabgrass.\nA boy puts his head against a nearby tree in despair, but your heart burns brightly enough that his is illuminated as well.\nTo be here is the most wonderful and magnificent sensation you could possibly feel.\n\nFor the rest of your life, you never think about the Fiefdom again.\n\nTHE END\n\nmastaba snoopy\nby gods17

Her yellow head squirms and pukes up feathers.\nIt makes you uncomfortable when she looks at you. She makes a demand.\nHer demands come often and always create uncomfortably simultaneous feelings of resentment and obedience.\n> ACQUIRE NICKELS\nThat is the territory of the Lucy faction. They are the ones who gather nickels. Woodsnoopy 45 is overstepping her boundaries.\nBeing a mere Woodsnoopy 799, however, you can do naught but obey.\n\nSociety sometimes seems untenable to you. The rigid caste-based hierarchies and roles, the antiquated hostility between the revenant clans - it all creates an unignorable doubt in your undersized jonquil head.\n\nYou have a headache and a task: get nickels.\n\nYou are in a hut made of catcher's gloves, with a single catcher's mask sunk into the center of the floor. Woodsnoopy 45 is here, waiting for nickels.\n\nYou are in the Fiefdom of the Mounds. It is the Thirteen Thousand and Fourth Year of the Sunless Dominion.\n\n[[> LEAVE HUT]]\n[[> TAKE MASK]]
Channeling the malice and cruelty of Woodsnoopy 45, you aim a vicious kick at the blocks. Linus 212 17! takes no notice.\n\nJust before your paw hits the last, most fragile tower, you happen to glance down and read its letters.\n\n[[> IT REVEALS THE MEANING OF LIFE]]
Despite your efforts, you are incorporated into its being.\n[[> ...]]

...\n\nEach stone of the massive, mile-high wall bloats up and moans, seeing you coming. Canary-yellow feathers squirt out of your mouth, an airborne trail.\nThe ancient boulders seem so very solid. It is said giants leaned upon the wall and spoke incantations there.\n\nAt the last moment, you suddenly arc upwards, a parabola in your trajectory! You are soaring towards the topmost part of the wall!\nIt's a miracle! Perhaps you'll make it over unharmed! You smash headfirst into the wall.\n\nIt //gives// and you are in darkness, flying like no Woodsnoopy has flown. Wings unflapping.\nBlood and down poring from both ends.\nPlunging through the black, you see your fiefdom shrink behind you.\nAn orchard of over fifty Pitchers float at the same height.\n\nNobody in the Woodsnoopy clan has ever gone this far east. Your tiny enclave is all you have ever known,\nbut now you seem hellbent on exiting even the Pitcher Dominion, forgoing their sagacity and leaving\ninto the uncharted Primal Zones.\n\nYou are an [[explorer]]...\n\n...\n\nIt is horrid...
After a brief walk through the statuette-lined vineyard and down some sidewalks, you stand on the outskirts of the Nineteenth Pitcher Mound.\nThe Pitcher 19 is in right now.\nHe is suspended several miles above the Mound, rotating slowly. His contorted form fills the sky.\n> WHAT DO YOU ASK OF ME WOODSNOOPY CHILD?\n\n[[> I HAVE COME TO BEG NICKEL]]
You are in a twisting maze of little Charlie Browns, all alike.\n\nSewn up in a crochet of endless zig-zag sweaters, you roll fitfully down the increasingly cramped knitted hallways.\nStinky boy arms and legs rise in strange patterns at erratic intervals.\n\nYou see a tiny hole in one wall, just visible by standing on tip-toe. There is no desire to look out of it ever again.\n\nYou come to an ampitheatre where the choking sweaters thin out.\n\nThere is a mystic rose inscribed in the biggest Charlie Brown's forehead. Little Charlie Browns live inside the bigger one.\nIt's a bit like that book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH in that they chew tunnels through him and crawl around inside.\n\nDown the left corridor, a voice yells "CHUCK!!! CHUCK!!!"\n[[> ENTER CORRIDOR]]\n\nA set of broken yellow jalousie-blinds in the oblong corner of the room puke up freezing air and snow.\n[[> CRAWL INTO SNOW]]
//the night is choked with streetlights\nthe forest straddles a road with paint so white and asphalt so black\nand one light pariah separate from the artificial amber stands sentinel between two stalks of spruce\nand the chthonic portals that birthed that light shiver that their child should find the open air\na strand of spongy tendrils wrapped tightly entwined snaking out between the trees\nutterly organic\nslapping and splashing like a wet rag against the pavement, though perfectly dry in the hot summer's sunset\ndrifting creeping towards the lighted world\n\non the border of sidewalks and streetlamps\n\nfingers spread gently through a stormdrain\nto find a human artifact...//\n\n...\n\nA book has been left here. A collection of Peanuts comics.\n\nGood grief, kid!! Pick up yer books!!!!\n\nSomeone else has done it for you. You're welcome...!!!
Bits of piano-key coral and disused waste Snoopies line the bottom of the lake.\nA unique Snoopy with elongated, crocodilian jaws snatches you up and chews you cleanly in half.\n\nYour halves fall to the seabed and become one with the trash. A steering wheel idly spins.\nA bicycle screams. Miniature Woodstocks tied together, mouth to rear end like a centipede, crawl along your body, chewing off metal.\n\nBy now you're too thinly disseminated to exist as an independent consciousness.\n\nGAME OVER
