(set: $context to "warning")\
You are in a virtual representation of a room, complete with an unsettlingly self-aware meta-description. The walls are undefined, mere boundaries of impenetrable code. There is no exit.
(display: "room")You activate the button marked INSTRUCTION. A slip of virtual paper issues from an unremarkable slot in the wall beside it, printed with the words:
(if: $context is "warning")[(display: "warning")](else-if: $context is "begging")[(display: "begging")](else-if: $context is "reason")[(display: "reason")](else-if: $context is "reverse")[(display: "reverse")](else-if: $context is "mocking")[(display: "mocking")]
(display: "room")(set: $context to (either: "warning", "begging", "reason", "reverse", "mocking"))\
You activate the CONTEXT RANDOMISER. Its effect is not immediately obvious.
(display: "room")The room is dominated by a snazzy PayPal donate button:
