The Strange Room

"You think you can't trust me?" The cube giggles. This is not a good sign. "I'm a fellow hacker, just like you," it says. "And, like you, I wandered into a MUD and got enchanted by its charms. Eventually, I decided that I would be much happier in it than out of it.

"Even better, I was lucky. Back then, they didn't do what they do now to players; in fact, I personally met one of the wizards, and he turned me into this! I don't need to eat, and I can fly anywhere I want. I even have little appendages that let me pick up objects and move them around. Isn't this great?"

"It's great being a floating, talking cube? What a blockhead!"
