<h2>You arrive at 138 Bradley Street.
It feels like home.
<h3>Welcome to the Bradley Street Bicycle Co-op</h3></div>
This is a special event, commemorating the end of a very long year. John and Kai can't wait to see you!
As you make your way through the Co-op this evening, there are a couple things to keep in mind for the best experience:
* **Treat each other well**, suspend your disbelief, and if you need, [[refresh yourself on the virtual party etiquette->BSBC Party Rules]]
* Whenever you enter a room with a chat link next to the title, **open it!**. It will open in another tab, and you should stay in the chatroom until you leave that room.
* You should also close that tab when you leave the room, and shouldn't save URLs, occupy more than one room at once, or 'teleport' between rooms.
Lastly, when it comes time, countdown to 2021 with us on the dance floor!
If you're ready-- [[Come inside -> Front Room]]

<div style="border: 2px solid Indigo; padding: 1px; display:inline-block;">
Because this interface is different from interface of other parties, we need to change our expectations about what's polite and what isn't.
* Feel free to move between rooms without interrupting the flow of conversation to say goodbye!
* Communication is a little different here, so utilize your many options including chat, hand signals, thumbs-ups and waves!</li>
* In groups of 5 or more, be extra careful not to take up too much space.
* Text your friends just like in a real party, if you can't find anyone you know, it's okay to text or even call your friends to ask them where they are.
* Sometimes videochat conversations can make it difficult to stay engaged. It's better to partially occupy yourself with doodling, knitting, or fidgeting, rather than entirely distracting yourself with the other wonders of the internet. You can leave as you need and come back later. </li>
* **Suspend your disbelief and don't spoil the mystery for others: feel free to share hints with your fellow party-goers to help them explore, but don't ruin the surprise for them!**</div>

As you climb up the questionably-stable ladder, the music from below fades away.
You can see a hint of the moon shining through the skylight, illuminating the party-goer turned musicians underneath.
Between the couches are a mess of cords and cables, and an instrument or two.
Your fellow music-lovers nod hello as they work on crafting a new piece. The roof is leaking a bit up here, but it's still a great place to jam with friends. <a target="_blank" href= "https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Shared-Piano/#SzznQkB6e"> Pick up an instrument and join in. </a>

[[Grab a drink from the fridge -> fridge]] **coatpile**
You unceremoniously throw your stuff on top of the teetering pile. (set: $coatInPile to true)
The pile shakes precariously, but doesn't fall just yet. A piece of paper slips off the windowsill, and floats gently to the ground-- (link-reveal: "a yellow sticky note")[

Wary from your last interaction with the pile, you cautiously withdraw your belongings from the unsteady heap.
As if shaken from within, the pile lurches rapidly, knocking over a beer left haphazardly on the windowsill, soaking the jackets of the other party-goers.
Well, at least you got your stuff back safely.

A simple metal water fountain sits in front of the door to the [[ batroom]] There's a gold eagle medallion on the front, and nothing else. The recycling bin stands next to it, with only a few beer cans laying crushed inside.

It doesn't seem like you were meant to be here, but it's oh-so tranquil.
We did so much this year. **You** did so much this year. This was a tough one, but we survived--*togethe*r. For some of us this was a year of hard-fought recovery, while some of us just barely hung on, riding the waves of chaos.
BSBC started the year with so many dreams and goals, and although a wrench (ha!) was thrown into our plans (*like the rest of the world*), we came out the other end looking alright.
We found new ways to spend time, to express ourselves, to connect, to engage our community, to nourish ourselves, and to rest.
On the best days <a href = "https://www.facebook.com/bsbc.co/posts/1642967409215253" target="blank">we saw friends</a>, <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PbAV1NFVPeOrRStPmEIV4J20GLdkIhHz19_3AHPLaYs/edit?usp=sharing" target="blank">explored new places</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYb4VrpjE_/" target="blank">ate amazing Thai food</a>, and got our hands dirty trying to make our world just a little bit better. **We rode bikes, fixed a lotta bikes, and shared our love for bikes + community with the world.**
There's still an ocean of bikes back here, but as you look at each one you sense it has a purpose. The whole room seems to (text-style: "blur")[hum]. *Is that the heater or is there a bit more magic in the air tonight?*
**I think 2021 is going to be alright.**
As you turn to leave, you a see a (text-style: "fade-in-out")[glimmer] from the back corner

There's a shiny old ornament hanging off a pipe in the back here for no apparent reason. As you examine it, you notice that, behind a pile of 27" tires, is a small door. Moving the tires out of the way reveals a keypad.
It doesn't really make sense... the back of the building is right against the highway so this door * should * lead outside...
But you see light shining in from the other side.

[[Head back downstairs -> showroom]]
[[You hear footsteps coming from above ->roof]] **Bardly Avenue Unicycle Collective**
It looks like the showroom, but it's filled with unicycles instead of bikes. You see John standing by the desk, chatting on the phone.
As you get nearer you see that he's wearing a uniform with a nametag... "Jack Martino".
*"I said sell low and buy high! I'm not trying to make money here, I'm trying to move money!"* he shouts into his vintage Nokia.
He sees you, gestures for you to come closer, and scrawls something out on a nearby notepad.

Pump up 3 of unis for me?

<==
You look at Jack, and he points to 3 neon unicycles set aside and labelled "FOR CLOWN SCHOOL", next to a comically large floor pump. *Is that for the school too? *
You shrug, and make your way over. Two of the unicycles are fine, but the last one is very flat. You attach the pump and check the gauge-

**right door**(set: $look to "curious")
You find yourself in an awfully long hall surrounded by many doors. You try to open them, but it seems that they are all locked.
In the middle of the room stands a little glass table with a small golden key on it. Which would be useful if even *one* of these doors had a keyhole, but they don't.
You then discover (mouseover:"wooden door")[(behind a low curtain you had not seen before) ]a teensy wooden door. Using the key, you unlock the door to discover a beautiful garden, but you're much too big to fit through this door as-is.
Looking back at the table, you see a glass bottle, with a paper label saying **DRINK ME**, has magically appeared on it.
*You wonder if it's really alright to drink from the bottle *(mouseover: "bottle")+(text-style:"subscript") [*drink me, really!*]
(link: "Drink the bottle")[You drink down the liquid, sweet and sticky, and find yourself ^^shrinking^^ (text-style: "subscript")[down.] You must be only ten inches high- the **exact** right size to get through that little door!
(link: "Open the door")[Shoot. It's locked... and the key is up on the table, out of reach.
You walk over to the table, and try to climb up one of the legs, but it's very slippery and of no use. You're stuck. Far beneath the table and the key.
Wait.. out of the corner of your eye, you notice a (link-reveal: "small glass box.")[
Inside the box is a small cake, with the words **EAT ME** marked on it in currants.(mouseover: "cake")+(text-style: "subscript") [*eat me, it's fine!*]
You figure it can't get worse. If you get bigger, you can get the key, and if you get smaller, maybe you can creep under the little door.
(link: "Eat the cake")[Nothing seems to happen. You're quite surprised to find that you've stayed the same size *(Usually, this generally happens when one eats cake).*
But you had started to get used to curious and unexpected things to happen to you here in **nuBSBC**. It seems pretty dull and stupid for life to go on the common way.
And so you eat every last bit of the **EAT ME** cake.
(live: 5s)[Suddenly, you feel yourself changing again.
Growing? Shrinking?
Definitely ^^shrinking^^, you must only 7...6..5 inches tall now. You start to run towards the door, still feeling yourself ^^shortening.^^
You're *almost* there, but with each passing second you're even ^^smaller^^, and the distance left between you and the door feels further and further away*(this is all relative, of course)*

<a href="https://lab.nstmf.org/gravity" target="blank">Planets</a> whirl around you. Stars shoot across the sky, flare up and extinguish around you. Time seems to move so slowly and so quickly here.

(link: "Ask him what he means")[He encourages you to take some time with him to really ponder the meaning of your life in this universe. To interrogate what it means to be alive and kicking in 2020, what success looks like in a year of turmoil...

Seems good enough. You unhook the pump and give Jack a thumbs up. He nods his head towards the storage room, and mimes for you to grab *something* from the back.
You see a clown car pull up, and clown after clown piles out of the car, and begin to juggle and unicycle on the sidewalk.
