Hello and welcome to Penguin Troubles.
In this game, you are a penguin and you're in trouble.
Well a business penguin at I.C.E. Corp. to be specific.
<img src= http://piskel-imgstore-b.appspot.com/img/575c4594-0ddb-11e7-90e6-857a9aa0d8ca.gif> (<--This is you)
You lost your documents for the Afternoon Boring Meeting today
and your Boss is not happy about that.
So you gotta find the missing docs before your Boss or something else kills you.
Pretty Simple right?
This is a texted based game, so a lot of reading is involved. Are you ready for that?
If yes, well let the game begin.

You lay on your belly and slide to your desk.
You stand up once you reach your chair.
You sit in your ice block of a chair and stare at your blue-tinted ice desk. You are careful not to knock over your briefcase leaning against the drawers of the desk. There is a computer in the middle of the desk with a penguin figurine dressed in a tuxedo to the left.
On the right, is a framed picture of your boss sitting on his desk with a fish in his mouth.
The picture has a huge heart drawn on it in red marker and reads,
"REMEMBER I <strong> DON'T </strong> LOVE YOU. LOVE, BOSS SEAL"
You gulp at the picture and question why you still keep it on your desk. You look up at the handmade poster behind your computer that reads,
"<em>Believe in yourself </em>". With a happy penguin holding a golden fish.
This makes you smile. You realize you still have an online copy of the documents. What will you do?

You turn on your computer and use your flipper friendly keyboard to access the e-copy of your documents. You set it to print and leave the safety of your desk to slide over to the printer.
The sleepy printer springs to life and starts printing the first page of the documents.
<strong><em>Wrrrrr Wrrrrr Wrrrrr</em></strong>
"Uh oh", you think, "That's not a good sound".
You take a closer look at the printer and realize that it's jammed!!
Just your luck!
You could smack the printer in hopes that it works or
just give up and slide back to your desk.
What will you do?

You lay on your belly and slide to one of few awake penguins in the office. The penguin is leaning on the water cooler and wears a purple bow tie with dark purple stripes.
As you approach them, they turn around to greet you with a mug of water in their flipper.
"Oh, hello you. How've you been? I heard you're in hot water with the boss. I would hate to be in your feet," takes a sip of their drink, "Just thinking about it makes me scared. Y'know it reminds me of the time when I was being mugged by a guy with a mug."
They take another sip of their drink. "Crazy, I know. He told me to hand over all my fish or he'll beat it out of me with his mug. So I pulled out my pen and shouted, <strong>THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD!!</strong> then I stabbed the guy and stole the mug he tried to mug me with."
They take a long sip from the mug, "This is the mug actually," they say as they show off the mug their drinking from.
"It's a nice souvenir really, anyways I'm glad you came over, I found this piece of paper. Looks like it's a presentation of some kind, I assume it's yours...cuz it has your name on it. Here you go, and thanks for listening to my story. Good Luck."
Congrats, you've found another document. Only 8 more to go.
Where will you go now?]
(else:)[
The penguin with the purple bowtie remains leaning at the water cooler occasionally sipping from their stolen mugging mug. They notice you looking and wave. You politely wave back. You're not sure what to make of them

You look out the window and notice the flurry of snow being tossed around by the wind. You admire how beautiful it looks and wonder--
<Strong>"Are you listening to me?!"</Strong>
You nervously turn your attention back to the creature speaking to you.
A Leopard Seal wearing a suit and tie, sitting behind a large intimidating desk made of ice....your boss. <Strong>"Do you understand the gravity of your situation?!"</Strong>
You nervously nod your head hoping that your boss isn't mad enough to eat you.
As Leopard Seals <strong> EAT</strong> penguins, which is what you are.

You wake up in a comfy nest bed in the infirmary.
Your flipper is in a cast and your feathers and outfit is still coated in ink. You notice something pink attached to your tie and read it.
"PINK SLIP: FIRED IMMEDIATELY FOR INCOMPENTANCE"
You gulp, realizing that you have failed your mission and your boss.
There's a knock on the door and two Orcas with red fedoras walk in.
The Removal Team, here to remove you from the I.C.E. Corp. picture.
You stare at the window to the far side of the room as the Orcas approach your bed. The snow is being tossed around by the Arctic winds and make a nice scene. You wonder if things could've gone a little differently as you close your eyes waiting for the inevitable.

Ahhh, the Great Outdoors. The moment you left the buiding the first thing that was felt was the wind. Cold, yet satisfying on the penguin feathers.
The whole landscape is filled with snow and it makes a soft <em>Crunch</em> underneath your penguin feet.
It's nice to be out of the office. Though it would be better if you had more of a choice to be out here.
You look around the snow-filled area and wonder where to go.

You waddle into the Break Room and look at the scene before you.
There are three medium-sized ice sculpted tables and four ice block chairs per table.
There are ice counters with frost covered tops along with a fridge and microwave by and ontop of the counters, respectively.
There are some sleepy Harp seals in here too, sleeping on a few of the tables, the floor and the countertops.
There are a few penguins in here too, enjoying some fish and cups of hot coco.
You wonder what kind of food is in the fridge.

(if: $krill is true and $bucket is true)[ Your Boss' nose twitches at the smell of the bucket of krill in your possession. You could offer the bucket worth of krill to him as a peace offerring.

"HEY. BOSS SAYS IF YOU DIDN'T FIND ALL OF YOUR MISSING DOCUMENTS, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN HERE."
[[Get tossed Outside->The Great Outdoors]]]As everyone assembles for the Boring Meeting, you get your papers in order. Good thing you numbered them. Once the last of the stragglers take their seats, you look at your Boss sitting at the head of the table. He stares you down. You are nervous but confident, and swallow your fear as you begin reading from your 10 page document.
One by one each penguin, seal, and whale in the room begins to nod off and eventually the big Boss Seal himself!
By the end of the tenth page, no one is awake and even you are starting to feel a bit drowsy. The meeting was a success! You carefully maneuver your way over the sleeping bodies to your boss and gently lay all ten pages in front of him to look over later.
You walk out of the Boring Room and slide over to your desk. You open the top drawer of your desk and take out a fluffy pillow. You place the pillow on your desk and close your eyes for some well deserved rest.
Congrats! You did it!!

[[Play Again?->Intro]]You present the krill filled bucket to your Boss and tell him you're sorry.
Once he realizes what he was smelling, your Boss wastes no time to devour the bucket and all the krill within it.
You wait nervously and work up the nerve to ask if you still need to find the rest of your missing documents. You place the few that you found on his desk to clarify what you are talking about. Your Boss looks at the documents then at you, but he has a smile on his face when he does. This is something you don't see very often. You are not sure how to react to this.
"Forget the documents," he shouts,"Forget the meeting! Accidents happen right? Right. You know what? I'll move the Afternoon Meeting to next week, that'll give you enough time to fix whatever you've broken. Documents and all." He goes through his drawers and pulls out 3 big juicy squids and slides them over his desk to your direction.
"Here you go. This is a thank you for your services. Next time I won't be as generous, so enjoy this as long as it last. Now get out of my office."
You couldn't believe it! You quickly collected the squid and waddled out of the room as fast as you could.
Not only did you not have to find all of your documents, but you got extended time and a BONUS!!
It's days like these that make your work life at I.C.E. Corp. All the more greater.

As you slide into the Whale Port you look all around you.
The salty ocean air smells strong here, as the waves crash on the sides of the ice's edge.
There are Skua's flying around looking for a quick meal and as they fly a few of their feathers litter the port and get tossed about the wind.
There are fishmonger Penguins dragging their huge baskets of fish to and fro the Whale Dock looking to trade with the sailor creatures.
You notice a Puffin leaving to get more nesting material, but there's something wrong with their nest.
You also notice a Sea Lion, in a sailor outfit, offering to ferry people where they want to go.
A sheet of white passes over your eyes and you run after it.
After running through the whole Whale Port you finally catch it.
Congrats! You found another document! You're getting good at this.

It's called the Untamed Territoy for a reason. Because it's Untamed!!
There are no penguin homes, no little fishing areas and even no Abercrumbly & Fish or Forever Nestling stores!! Where is a hard working penguin supposed to find a good, not-so-low but not-too-high priced clothes in this part of the continent??
All you see before you is a vast wasteland, filled with snow and endless possiblities...
Oh....wait a minute. There's something out in the distance.
Two somethings actually. One to the left of you and one to the right.

You board the Whale and wait as other passengers board. Eventually the Sea Lion calls for the Whale to get a move on and everything begins to move. You look at the sky and all the clouds. You look back at the Whale Port and notice the snowy white landscape of the Arctic that stretches as far as your eye can see. With it's occasionally hills and mountains painting the background. And far in the distance you see a blue tinted building with the letters, I.C.E. Corp. on it.
You lift up your flipper and wave goodbye.
You turn back toward the sea and breathe in the salt-sea air.
You smile and look forward to the endless possibilites ahead of you.

You take off your hat and tie it to your tie then jump into the ocean.
You make sure your extra tie knot doesn't become loose, you don't want to lose your favorite hat. After double checking that it's secure you look around you.
It's a beautiful aquatic scenery of fishing swimming around among other sea creatures. The sunlight shining through the water makes the water sparkle in such a beautiful way. You would be crying at the beauty if you weren't already surrounded by water.
In the ice above you there are a few holes. One of the holes has a fishing hook through it just floating there waiting for a fish to take notice. There seems to be something wrong with it though.
You also notice another creature swimming around chasing the fish.
It's Walrus Timber. The toughest Walrus on the continent and the scars on his hide shows it. As he opens his mouth to eat the fish you notice something stuck to his tusk.

You climb out of the ice hole and shake the salty water off your silky feathers. You then untie your green hat from your tie and wring both of them out.
Looking around you see an unattended fishing pole leaning against a piece of ice with its hook drifting in the water below and an empty bait bucket next to it.
Past the unattended fishing pole is a beast completely wrapped in brown cloth and some white fur around its face.
'An Eskimo', you think to yourself. You've heard of them from your co-workers. Big, tall beasts that walk on two legs that use these odd inventions to do tasks that any healthy penguin could complete. They were odd creatures really, but you understand that not all creatures are made the same way so you let their abnormality slide.
Since Eskimos can be dangerous to penguins you take slow, careful steps to the Eskimo and notice that it is asleep. What a relief!
You then take notice of a woven basket with a white cloth in it, which is next to the Eskimo and the tracks it left to get here. Could the rest of your documents be beyond those tracks?

You look at your penguin feet and notice your reflection in the ice floor.
You fix your droopy green hat and straighten your blue on teal striped tie.

The sounds of your flipper hitting the Wrrr-ing printer resonates throughout the Cubicles. This wakes a few of your co-workers, but after they discover where the sound is coming from they easily fall back asleep.
You rest your flipper to admire your work.

As you try to free your flipper, the printer spits ink at you.
This stains the feathers around your eyes and part of your hat and tie.

You open the fridge to see a bunch of labeled food.
There are different kinds of fish in here with sticky notes on them.
"Don't touch --Pepper," one says.
"JIM stop taking my fish! Catch your own!! -- Ike," says another.
And there's many more where those came from. You decide to open the freezer compartment and notice an unlabeled fish. You take it out of the freezer and notice that it's frozen solid. Someone must've forgotten about it, weeks ago.

Plus, if or when it thaws out, it will make a good snack for later.
You place the fish into one of your hidden penguin pockets and close the freezer and the fridge.

True, you could've thawed it out to eat later but that takes time and that's something you don't have a lot of. Or maybe it could be used for unconventional reasons...But that's silly talk.

<strong>WHAM!</strong> You smack right into the something!
You sit up and rub your beak as whatever you ran into starts speaking.
"Hey, um, are you alright? That was quite a spill."
You get up brushing the snow off of your hide, tie, and hat. You look up at the stranger to apologize but you realize who/what it is.

It was Snowman Pen, the neighborhood Snow Penguin.
You waved at Snowman Pen and asked him about his day, his mate and his kids.
"..." was all he said. He has such a way with words!
You implored Snowman Pen to write poetry and perform it at an Open Mic.
"..." went Pen. And that answer was good enough for you.

You pick it up and unfold it.

Most penguins don't really make nest, they just lay the egg and keep it warm underneath their feathers and keep it between their feet. And if a penguin does make a nest, it's usually made of rocks. None of this fluffy stuff. The fluff part is the job of parents.
You re-adjust your hat and fix your tie. Thinking about having/preparing for a future egg always made you a little nervous.

You waddle over to the Sea Lion and ask him if what he says is true.
"Why of course, my dear Penguin. Me and my friend Willy over here," they gesture to the humpback whale, "Will take you to any place in the world."
"Any place in the world?" you repeat.
"Yes, any place in the world. And as you can SEE I am not LYIN'. And it's all for the affordable price of a bucket's worth of krill."
This price shocks you. Where are you to find a bucket's worth of krill?
"Mind you," chimes the Sea Lion, "It does take a bit of effort to travel to and fro all the time so one bucket of krill is pretty reasonable."
You notice that they have a good point and decide to go think about the offer for a while.
(if: $krill is true and $bucket is true)[
You look at the krill squirming in the bucket and wonder whether you should go through with or not. You could try talking to your boss or continue on your adventure to find the rest of the missing docs. Or some other third thing.
You think long and hard over this.
What do you decide?

You swim to Walrus Timber waving your flipper to catch his attention.
Just as he was about to chomp on another fish, he notices you and lets the fish swim away.
"Hello, tiny penguin," he says with a thick accent. "Vhat can I, Valrus Timber, do for a little bird like you?"
You tell him about your troubles and ask to have a closer look at his tusks.
"Anything for a fan. But hurry it up. I have fish to chase."
He opens his mouth to show off his big tusks more and you swim in for a closer look. You notice a wad of paper stuck on one of his tusks.
Congrats! You found another document!!
Thank Mother Nature for ocean proof paper and ink, or else the document would have been ruined! Though there is a huge gaping whole in the page, it's nothing a bit of tape can't fix.

You wave your flipper at Walrus Timber.

The farther you swim out, the darker the bottom of the ocean seems.
A flurry of orange and tiny legs swim past you.
You do a double take and realize it's krill.
A huge swarm of krill! More than enough to fill a bucket, maybe 5!
You swim after the krill but they weave and bob right out of your grip whenever you grab them! You need something to contain them in.

As you approach the circular domes they get bigger and bigger. You touch the sides of one and notice that they are made of ice blocks.
'With work like this, Eskimos must be near by', you thought to yourself. As you look around you notice that there are more of them. Standing tall all around you for as far as your penguin eyes can see.
Strangely there are no Eskimos to be seen, but you can hear a lot of movement from with in the snow domes.
'They must be hiding from the winds', you think to yourself as the winds pick up, how lucky are you. Then a movement of white by a nearby snow dome catches your eye. It's one of your documents! You slide over to chase it and manage it grab it after a few tries.
Congrats you found another one!

Just a bunch of snow domes or igloos as the Eskimos call it.
The winds are still abit harsh so everyone is still inside.
There's not much to explore though. Just a bunch of snow and ice everywhere.

Like a detective looking for clues, you follow each footprint carefully.
Keeping an eye on the shape and size, making sure not to confuse them with your own. As you continue to follow the tracks you notice other similar looking footprints. More Eskimo tracks! You start to get a little nervous but continue to follow the footprints until something lands right in front of you. The force of said something, knocks you back into the snow. You wipe the frozen water molecules from your face and look to see that a spear was the something that knocked you over! You quickly look for your hat that got knocked off your head and once you find it, a shadow is cast over you. Slowly, you place your hat on your head and turn around. A huge Eskimo with a round face and toothy grin towered over you. The white fur around its face made it look very menacing. He chuckled at your position and began reaching for the spear.
Is he going to kill you? What will you do?

You take a closer look at the basket and open it.
Wait a minute that white cloth isn't a cloth at all!
It's one of your documents! Maybe this Eskimo found it and was going to return it to its rightful owner. You turn to look at the sleeping Eskimo and lift your hat to their direction as a show of thanks.
Congrats! You found another one!!

Just a woven basket, crafted from some tree branches. Inside is alot of dried and wrapped meats from various creatures. There even some crab legs!
You gulp and close the basket, thanking your Penguin Gods that this Eskimo is sound asleep.

Mustering all the courage you have in your little Penguin body, you jump to your feet and pull the frozen fish from your penguin pocket.
<strong><em>Slap! Slap! Slap!</em></strong>
<Strong>"Arrgghhh!"</Strong>, roared the mighty beast. And like a might evergreen it fell down with a great big <strong>THUD</strong>.
You stand on the passed out Eskimo like a conquered country and stand victorious. For you have won the great battle with the beast. Wait until everyone in the office here's about this!
You pocket the frozen fish and continue to follow the rest of the Eskimo tracks. Though a bit more carefully now and keeping a better look out for more Eskimos.
As you walk you see growing mounds of snow.
Though not like a mountain shape, more like a circular dome shape.
Hmmm, you what that is all about.
What will you do?
[[Check out the Snow Domes->Igloos]]
[[This is too much->Ice Fishing]]Mustering all the courage you have in your little Penguin body, you jump and bite the Eskimo's hand.
<Strong>"Arrgghhh!"</Strong>, roared the mighty beast. With the force of an Orca whale, the Eskimo threw you to the ground. You quickly recover, although a bit disoriented, and rise to your feet.
You run over to the Eskimo and rapidly slap your penguin flippers on the Eskimo's legs, hoping to weaken it as it nurses its wounded hand.
The Eskimo let's out a huge growl and grabs its spear. You let out a screech and high tail it out of there. You jump on your belly to slide away but you don't get too far before the white snowy tundra becomes stained red and turns completely dark. At least your Boss can't officially fire you if you've already been taken care of...

<strong><em>Sqaawwkk! Sqaaawwwkkk! Sqaaaawwwkk!</em></strong>
<Strong>"Arrgghhh!"</Strong>, roared the mighty beast. You took this opportunity to run as the Eskimo was distracted. You jumped on your belly to get away faster. The Eskimo quickly took notice and began running after you! You spread your flippers to propel yourself forward and gain speed. You began weaving left and bobbing right to keep the Eskimo on it's toes. Snow was flying everywhere, it was quite exhilarating. Then out of know where, the Eskimo's spear flew like a bird and laid right in your path!
You are moving too fast to turn in time and you crash into it, head first. You are launched into the air, although still moving forward and crash into a soft pile of snow. Except for a few bruises here and there you are okay, and somehow you managed to keep your hat on!
Wait until everyone in the office here's about this!
