Cruel & Hilarious Punishment by Mel S> l
Archer Street once used to be beautiful, but now it's just an urban wasteland. Flipped over cars form barricades all around you, some of them still smoking from a recent riot. A hollowed out building is to the North, it's delapidated sign hanging on by a thin cord. A thin man leans next to a burnt vending machine, a cigarette dangles out of his mouth.

You move north.
At one time this was a Cafe, now it's just a hole in the side of a building. The rubble has been pushed out to make room for a home, with a bed and a few cabinets set up on the gravel floor. Sitting on a large rock in the corner of the room is a steaming cup of coffee, and a jacket for the show 'It's Funny 'Cuz You're Dead!'. Looks like a perfect chance for sabotage.
> open cabinet
You quickly scan through the cabinets, finding a sponge in one of them. Deciding it could come in handy, you took it.

You move down.
The dank sewers are almost cleaner than the streets above. In the section you're in, there's nothing too amazing. A few dirty matresses rest on the damp stone floor where people lived at one time. A TV set still rests on a cardboard box, the screen completely in. A thin river of green slime drains down past your feet, further into the sewers.
> get glass
You bend down a pick of a piece of jagged glass. Nice and sharp, stuff like that always comes in handy with pranks.
> get slime
Using the sponge, you're able to get some acidic slime.

> put slime in coffee
You dump the green slime into the coffee, shaking the cup so it'll settle in. You hear a noise from the South, and the camera man comes in.
"Hey, what're you doing with my coffee?" he says to you, his eyebrows raised in thought.
"Uhhh...just making it...coffier," you stutter back, handing it to him.
Without thinking, he gulps the coffee down. Everything seems fine for a few seconds, until a sizzling noise began to emit from his mouth.
"Wow...this stuff get stronger every day," the camera man replies, a smile growing on his face. "This is good. I need to get more. Screw the show, they can get their own footage."
The camera man runs off, leaving his jacket behind. Well..the plan didn't go exactly as you planned, but at least the other guy's gone.

> cut cord
You clench the piece of glass in your mouth, and climb atop one of the flipped over cars. You clutch the glass in your hand, and in one swoop, slice the cord of the sign in two. The sign tumbles to the ground, sparks flying out of it in every direction. Stray sparks hit the oil and fire covering the ground, and a massive flame roars into the air. You grab your camera and hold it up, taping the thin man as he runs down the street screaming in fear as the fire follows closely behind him.
The footage is taken directly to the head of the show, who loves it. He invites you up to his office, where he shakes your hand and gives you a cigar.
"Good job out there. I could always need a guy like you out in the streets making pranks," the boss said.
"I was thinking something...maybe we should make a change," you say, throwing the cigar to the ground. "For too long have reality TV shows being controlling people's lives. Families are too scared to go out into the streets, yet they're not scared enough to stop watching the shows they're fearful of. What kind of world is this? You've destroyed our reality, and replaced it with your own. We should stop now, and let people come out of their homes and live. What do you say?"
"No."
