"There Richard sits, playing MUME. Suddenly the telephone rings!
He panics, trying to quit the fight he's in, trying to go linkless,
adrenalin pumping through his venes as a couple of pukes turn up
trying to kill him. Will he make it to the phone in time? Alas no,
his valiant effort is in vain. The bell hath sounded. Thou must
leave a message."

"Go away!"

"Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages.
My owner does NOT have any spare equipment, gold or have learned to heal.
If you're still with me, leave your name and number and he will get back
to you."

"
You are growing tired.
Your eyelids are getting heavy.
You feel very
sleepy now.
You are gradually losing your willpower and your ability to
resist suggestions. When you hear the tone you will feel helplessly
compelled to leave your name, number, and a message."
