You tunnel under the dumpster, cracking the ageing asphalt with ease. After about twenty minutes of herculean effort, you figure you are right underneath the dumpster. At least all that exercise has warmed you up. However you're starting to feel the first pangs of hunger. It is dark down here, and while it's a little warmer than out in the open, you can already feel the cold following you down the tunnel. You hear a quiet creaking noise.

What do you do?

It's still dark (and cold) outside. You hear the creaking noise again, but this time it's louder. The bottle of piss you were using to warm yourself has grown cold.

What do you do?

The wombat scurries out up the tunnel. The bottle of piss is now in your stachel of infinite space. The noise of the wombat scouting around in the alley drifts faintly down the tunnel, and eventually it returns, bearing a stick about as long as your arm.

What do you do?

pat wombat affectionately. use stick to catch ladder of nearby fire escape. then climb fire escape and attempt to gain entry to a property. not in an attempt to burglarise, you understand more so as not to die of hypothermia.

Tucking the wombat back into your satchel, you exit the tunnel. Using the stick, you manage to hook the ladder and make your creaking way up to the first level of the fire escape. Years of grime and rust dislodge, falling both to the ground and on to you. The window on this level is closed, looks very secure, and you can see what looks like a security system device attached to it.

What do you do?

pour the piss into the security device

The piss has no effect on the security device, as it is on the inside of the glass, and the window is very well sealed. You edge along to the next window, which looks much the same as the other. There is a ladder to the next level of the fire escape here.

What do you do?

At which point a pack of bemuscled sporty types waiting in the store window started laughing their heads off like it was the funniest practical joke *ever* in the history of the universe and I was the biggest chump they’d caught all day

hee hee. I did this. only I was the kid (working) in the candy store.

While the wombat is good at scouting and retrieving things, it's skills as a cat burglar are limited. It stares at you blankly, then rolls up and goes back to sleep. You are now on the second level of the fire escape. There is an old, single-pane window here that has a crack running through the glass near the bottom. There is a bucket in the corner of the fire balcony.

What do you do?

Sometimes situations call for finesse, stealth and subtlety. This is not one of them. The bucket smashes the glass, leaving behind a windowframe edged with jagged, razor-sharp shards.

>Gingerly remove largest pointy bits of glass. Then shrug off battered yet surpassingly cool BLJ, and place said garment over the pointy bits at the bottom of the window and climb through. Carefully.

You climb into someone's bedroom. A bare bulb hangs overhead. The room is stark, the walls covered in peeling paint. A single unmade bed, covered in biscuit crumbs, dominates the centre. A clock is in the room, as is a dog's chew toy. A dishevelled looking middle-aged man lies sleeping in the bed, fully dressed.

(apologies for the long delay...was in Galway being merry for St. Patrick's Day. We now return you our regularly scheduled adventure)

While it has been a while, you're not that way inclined. The man starts to snore...it appears he's sleeping very heavily indeed. The door out of this room stands slightly ajar.

What do you do?
