You may ONLY tell me what the character WANTS to do. Not what happens afterwards, not what they see or hear, only the actions they wish to accomplish.
Let's begin.
Outside, the rain is thick.

For the past three days, you've been sleeping in some poor child's treehouse. It is overgrown with vines and weeds, and dust is thick on the walls. Outside, you sometimes hear the children playing, screaming with joy and rolling in thick mud on the ground.
In the distance, over a forest of spruce and pines, you can see a large grey house lined with gold and silver. The lights are never on in that house, and there is never a car in the driveway. Dispite this, the yard is filled with thick, blooming patches of some variant of Poppy and Allium.
What do you do? |

[ My, what a disappointment. I will remember to use the 'preview' option next time. ]
[ Is anyone interested? ] |

| I wish to attempt to fall back to sleep. Going outside in the rain can only attract a bad cold, and I am assuming I can not afford, the medication required for an awful disease like that. |

[ Oh, sorry. ]
[ By the way, you can say " I go back to sleep ", you just cannot say " I fall asleep only to be awoken by a horde of angry squirrels. They gnaw at my limbs and I kick them away, breaking a hole in the wall of the treehouse. " and so on. ]
You sleep until dawn, though it is hardly distinguishable from the night. The sky is cloaked in dark, thunderous clouds, and despite the sun's constant struggle to show through the clouds, it is but a slightly paler grey void in the atmosphere.
The rain is still thick. It may be around for quite a while, and the bread you procured earlier this week has disappeared by the day, now only a stale grey crescent. |

| Do I wear anything that can protect my skin from the evils of the rain? And what month is this? I am assuming Spring due to the children and rain, though I may be wrong. |

It is winter on the verge of spring.
Unfortunately, other than a faded pair of jeans, you had sewn all your clothing into a cloak of blacks and browns to burrow beneath during the chilled nights.
This may offer some protection, though it is heavy and will slow you down. |

| Speed is off no concern. Now, I wish to drop into the rain and begin my daily routine of scavenging the late night/early morning trash. |

There are only the two houses within 20 miles, and so you first go to the nearest and check a large pile of compost for for half-eaten fruit or week-old meat. You have to abandon your protective shell so you may climb to the top and dig around, but there is nothing there and you simply become soaking wet. You quickly cover yourself again and begin your walk through the woods to the mansion.
You have never been this close.
You look in all directions for a trashcan but cannot seem to find one. By now, the rain has soaked through to your skin and so you run under a roofed porch to dry. The front door is here, a broad black one with a brass handle. You put your hands against it and it is not frozen. ___╔══════════╗░░░░░░░░░░░░░ __╔╝▒▒▒▒田▒▒▒▒╚╗░░░░░░░░░░░░ ╔╝▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒╚╗░░░░░░░░░░░ ║▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒║░░░░░░░░░░░ ║▒田田▒╔══╗▒▒▒▒▒║░░░░░░░░░░░ ║▒田田▒║_П_║▒▒▒▒▒║░░░░░░░░░░░ ║▒▒▒▒▒▄██▄▒▒▒▒▒║¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡░░░░░░░ |

| I'm getting desperate. It's too cold, I'm too wet... I walk the perimeter of the house, hoping no cars are around, then I walk to the door. |

You enter the house. In the first room is a fireplace with a low flame, and in front of it is a chair with a stand beside it. Atop the stand is a bowl filled with fruit.
To the right of the doorway is a cabinet. There are two more doors behind it.

Behind the left door is a bathroom. While the previous room was lit by the fireplace, this one has candles across its ceramic tiled floor. Needless to say, it's rather dim. You hear a light and dull repetitive drip, and look to your left to see the faucet above the tub is leaking, and it [ the tub ] is filled with a grotesque, deep-red liquid.

In the next room is a small library. There are many old looking books and bottles filled with various things on the shelves that span the walls. There is also a desk with a cabinet and typewriter. It looks like someone was writing something, but gave up and simply left it there, half-finished. There is also a painting on the wall of a wolf in the midst of a forest that looks vaguely like the one outside. There is a small bronze plaque beneath it. There is also another door on the other side of the room, but when you try the handle, you find that it is locked.

| As I notice the blood, I hold back a vomit, and rush out the room, attempting to hide myself from it by barricading that door. After entering the next, I return to the living room, and grab the basket and fruit, sitting at the fire as I warm myself up. |

As you sit by the fire, warm but still soaking wet, you shuffle around the plastic replica fruit in the bowl in search of something edible. You feel the soft surface of a rotten pear, and decide against eating it. There is also an apple.
╔═╦════════════╗ ║Ó║YOU GOT AN APPLE!║ ╚═╩════════════╝
The fire is very nice, and you are very tired. You grab your cloak and splay it across the floor in front of the fire to dry. It looks so comfortable that you lay down for a moment.
You wish you had grabbed a book to read from the other room, but fall asleep before even finishing the thought.
You dream of being a wolf in a forest it does not recognize who wonders into the mouth of a big black beast with gold and silver symbols on its face. The beast sits at the edge of the forest all day, tending to its beautiful winter garden of red Poppies and tall, purple Allium. Inside the beast, the wolf finds itself in a gigantic library. It is so cold and so hungry, it gnaws on a typewriter in an attempt to find nourishment. It is obviously unsuccessful, but in doing so accidentally writes a book of its life with its teeth. Afterwards, it curls up into a corner to die, where it rots and, after many years of decay, becomes a small framed painting on the wall.

You recognize the constellation above the wolf from a story you heard when you were young. So long ago were the night your spent with your mother when she was still alive. Now only a small part is clear in your mind.
" ...And she gathered from each of the purest souls a bright light with which she crafted a great vessel to hold all of the world's evils, and she positioned it in the sky over the forest where the true devil had been birthed. And.. "
Ah, the final phrases are lost to you.
When you wake, you find that the fire has been fed, and all of the furniture has been moved. The chair in the center has been cemented to the front door and the table now has an odd-looking bottle on it with a glass beside it. A note on the bottle reads 'Poppy Brew', and below it 'An Ale for Wolves and Men and For No Other Creature More Deserving'. |

| Stand up, a nervous glance on my brow, and walk up to the bottle. Take it in hand, and search around for a tool that may be useful for self-defense. |

You grab the Ale without meditation and rub your thumb on its cool surface, which is fogged in the heat. You suddenly notice that your are sweating, and let out a short laugh, but it quickly fades. You had thought you would be accustomed to the cold, but perhaps it was always warmth you longed for...

There are many objects around that may be of some use.
But if you want to take on with you, you'll have to find it.
Yourself.
Think back to where we've been. |

| I glance towards the door, and rush into the Library. This fool is playing tricks on me, so let's play along. After entering the library, remember that door? Let's see if it is unlocked. |

The door is still locked.
You run your finger along the lock. Perhaps the key is nearby? |
