You painstakingly go through all these steps, mixing together a rather bright scarlet with a more tempered ochre that coincdentally results in a colour exactly the same shade you already had on

Also, hmm... portal must be closed? Well doors are a kind of portal aren't they? Close the bathroom door, then go looking through your house for the door that's still open and shut it along with all the doors you had to open to find it, then see if the message changes any later.

On your seemingly neverending quest to clean up your room the hammer is the next item to hit your radar. You give it a strong scrub down but it doesn't seem to shift the dirt. Hmm, you think you have a solution.

Well, you gotta break things down to build them up.

With a flinch of terror you remember that they're coming. Them. The infected. Yoga won't do you any good when they come for the One True Toilet Roll. You look around you and hastily get to work.



With a considerable amount of effort you build your own pillow fort. They'll never take you alive!
