This storylet will loop until you exit via Perhaps Not.

One copy is provided to each prisoner, in order to give them something to do, apparently. Maybe it's supposed to reform you into a better person. They're known for being long winded and dull, though. Let's just pick a page at random and see what happens

If this isn't the Number of Rats I don't know what is. That's five sevens right there. That's like, a lot. A lot of sevens. It's not seven sevens because, let's be honest here, it's taken me like 4 months and I'm not even at a hundred thousand rats never mind seven million rats. I don't know if I should stop sending rats but I don't think the answer to that question is yes. I don't even know why I'm sending these rats I'm just putting rats in a bag and sending them through the post. How many dang rats do you actually have because Restitution eats 900 rats and it's terrible. I have pretty much decided to make the wordiest message possible here. Do you have a wordcount on this thing yet or am i going to have to paste War and Peace into a box some time to test that. are you even going to read this, i think that's the important question.

Uh.. huh. What did you just read? Perhaps you should investigate further.

Inexplicable

On your way out the door, you stub your toe and stumble over something on the ground. On closer inspection, it appears to be a Rat Point. Rat Points are entirely a virtual currency governed by the metaphysics of the Rat Zone, but here one is nevertheless. Still, you can't complain. A free Rat Point is a free Rat Point.

Oh no! The rats beat you up (somehow) and escaped! You haven't sustained any serious injury, mostly because the Rat Zone is completely unable to simulate such things.

Sometimes I like to shoot rats in Watchmaker's Hill but not often because it's not a very good option for cash money. I open palm slam a rat into the rat bag and seal it up with candle wax and the postman falls over in terror at the prospect of carrying more rat corpses. Major sections of London are jammed up by the traffic caused by the mail coaches bringing rats to the house of a man who looks like a tiger in a hat and some other dude who's cool as ice and has an egg on his head. Seven is the number but I've always preferred nines. When ARE we going to see the Candle in Knife and Candle anyway? for that matter, when are we going to see the Knives because i know there's more than two. Who is Mr Iron? Mr Twitch is innocent. Have you ever seen a dead rat 'cause they're kinda gross. why are they rats on strings anyway i mean why a string. did you ever expect this result when you put an option to send rats on a card. fifty thousand rats still isn't enough rats, you know. I have yet to see a number of rats which is too many rats. Seven million rats? Maybe. Maybe not.

What possessed you to add a ratbox that hurts people but only up to 3 Wounds. Are you even reading this at this point? if you read this please send the word "jellyfish" across the Twitter. if you read this and do not do the above I will be very sad and upset. if you do not read this i will also probably be sad and upset but then i'll send another thousand rats and everything will be ok again. it's 3:30AM on a weeknight and i'm sitting writing about rats, in a tiny message box. do you eat rats. i googled "rat quotations" and apparently there's a website about quotes from famous people about rats. "You learned the two greatest thing in life, never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.", for instance, is a quotation about rats.

The Objective Outhouse

The Rat Zone

Rat sending simulator 2k13 starting area

In a mysterious shack, in a mysterious place, a mysterious individual answers mysterious... er, mysteries.

You can get hints and tips about what to do next here! But it will cost you rats. Goods and services usually do, here. Nothing else except rats, though; your other items will not be taken.

Rat combat is just a big ol' mystery.

            100
            You need 100 x Rat  (you have 255598)

            1
            You need Tournament Standing 1 (you have 1)

            100
            Unlocked with 100 x Rat  - you have 255598

            1
            Unlocked with Tournament Standing 1 - you have 1

You pay the agreed price for information. The Mystic puts on some exciting fight music as a backing track.
<p>"The Tournament is rather simple! There are a number of stages to progress through. You advance up a stage when you defeat a competitor. Victory is determined based on the quantity of rats you own; the more rats you have, the more likely you are to win! Some challengers may decide to mix the rules up a little; this is drastically unfair, and there's also nothing you can do about it. If you're struggling with Fanciness, try buying new fancy fashions. You can also try breaking the law and getting into a tussle with the Crime Squad. Legally, I did not just tell you that last thing. Have fun!"</p>

You've lost 100 x Rat (new total 255,598).

A rat can carry over 50x its own weight if it's an ant.

I don't know if I'll ever run out of things to say with these rats. I think a rat is like a fine cheese, there's a lot to say about it. And they go well with wine. Allow me to submit my 300-page rant on how the game mechanics of your game are inherently flawed. Ludonarrative Dissonance. Am I a game journalist yet? I don't think I want to be a game journalist.  would you call this behaviour "pack ratting" (ha ha just a little rat joke for you). sometimes i wonder if life is worthwhile, but then i send some rats through the post. there could literally be no satisfactory ending for this spiel of text about rats. i am not a writer i just vomit words en masse and sometimes they go well together. when are you going to add more rat content, i really need more rat content. how many words are in this ratbox by now. the wordcounting machine says 779 not counting the words here which means i've written more than most english essays about rats, right now. i don't know if i should feel bad about that. Apparently 27% of the words used in this are the word rat. i think that's a powerful message. Mr Eaten's Name is Mr Rats, innit. How do rats fit into the FL narrative anyway, i mean like i know there's rattus faber but are there regular rats too or do all the rats just shoot guns and be tiny brigands. i wasn't paying too much attention in rat class i'm sorry. you know i probably should have stopped at 777 words but i can't just stop now. the spellchecker is underlining everything with red but where we're going, we don't need spellcheckers. remember, the word "Jellyfish" is important. Alternatively, I will accept "Bicycle", "Unicycle" or your favorite species of reptile. The only thing better than rats, In My Opinion ("imo") is an egg. Some eggs, though, just don't try to ponder them. They're tricksy things, them eggs. But this is a gift of Rats, not a gift of Eggs. Some people like a bit of rat, but I think this has gone beyond a bit. After this, I will have 351 rats, which is significant because it's one more than 350 and that's about it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person who uses the ratsending option on Restitution. how many levels of Reputation: Abomination are there anyway, i'm determined to get all of them. after this you can truly say you were a survivor of the Second Great Rat Flood of London.

Is this even real, or are you hallucinating? The mind boggles

i think the first one mighta been at the feast of the rose when the bazaar's sunlight was interuppted by a cascade of fifty thousand rats into the bazaar streets, where i was lodging at the time, but i have yet to confirm this theory. rats and tigers; do they get along? the Tiger Keeper's Tale. i can never go to the first coil of the labyrinth without thinking "hey that's an Alexis". are you a tiger with a hat irl i've never really gotten confirmation on that. if I'm ever in England I might have to go to the failbetter offices and post a rat through your door or something. maybe just a plush rat or something. a novelty dead rat. i don't know if i could post a real rat that might cause diplomatic tensions.

 there are no less than ten occasions when i have considered hitting the button and sending the rats. i have broken 1200 words about rats. having a typing speed of 100wpm is a benefit and a curse. i think you should replace the eyeless skull with an eyeless rat that'll be much more fun. in fact the cave of the nadir should just be rats. a swimming pool of rats. i think you could probably manage to fill a swimming pool with all those rats that you have. i mean it's at least 10k even taking into account Restitution's tendency to eat 900 rats in transit. i put it down to the starveling cat and also Seeking hunger. really though, how unaccountably peckish do you have to be to eat exactly 900 rats and not decide "hmm i might have another rat" i have no idea.
 i have wounds 5 and by god do you know how much of it was rats. like at least 6CP i think. but once i died just from rat sending, that was pretty funny. the ratboxes still have 11 rats in them, and not even you, god king loremaster, can change that. i was going to put an ascii art of a rat in here but it broke something tremendously and i was afraid one of your databases would catch fire and gutter like a dying star again.
 how many rats could a rat rat if a rat could rat rats? i think it'd be a lot. like at least seven. Seven is the Number. the sound of iron and echoes is nothing compared to the sound of postmen and rats. i will be sad if like the first hundred words of this are all that get sent, but i will save a copy and put it on the internet for all the world to see. fallen london is my favorite game on the internet because i can send the lead developer rats and not get assassinated for it. although i might get assassinated by a pile of rats suddenly appearing in my house, but i can put that down to natural causes. more than a third of the words in this are either rat or rats. nearly a half, actually. you could take out half the words in this, and still have rats. rat frequency is off the charts. it's goddamn 4am and i'm still writing about rats.

 help i'm stuck in a rat factory and i can't get out. can you solve the mystery of Rat Londo before they gnaw through your boots. i don't really know if this is legal any more. is it illegal to send rats? i think it might be. parasitic wasps live in the eyes but parasitic rats float around and mail you jewels occaionally. apparently i have said the word "don" ten times in this ratly spiel. i am going to print this out and frame it and send it in a fancy bordered letter to the failbetter offices. i am so sorry about the rats. i'm out of control. i don't even know if i can stop writing about rats. it's like i've been possessed by the literary demon of rats.

Demon might be the word.

A historical lesson

According to the book, the Rat Zone was created after a critical mass of Rats was achieved, when one crazed individual sent many rats to another, rather saner individual. This caused several fundamental laws of physics to degrade as too many rats were piled in one location. The blame is mostly placed on the postmen.

After reading the book, you are rewarded with some Rat Points for your interest in history. Reading is fun!

It's not really much of a lounge, if we're being honest. More of a run-down shack, held up mostly by the sheer volume of corpses it contains. Thankfully, the Rat Zone is perfectly sanitary and the Lounge is entirely free of the hazards and undesirable qualities one would normally associate with a room filled with corpses. A vending machine sits behind a counter in the manner of a shop assistant. Please choose your desired purchase. Currency's Rat Points, of course.

Ticket to Well

No luck finding wells in the Rat Acquisition Deck? Ratco does not encourage well liason, but if you're willing to spend the Rat Points you can get yourself a guaranteed meeting with a well.

Buy a Brew

Need a Horrendous Brew? For some horrendous disgusting reason? The vending machine offers a "delicious nutrient solution", but it's not very nutritious or delicious and is actually rather horrendous.

However, because head management at Ratco believe the solution to be the most delicious thing ever made, the price is quite high. Still, if you can't find any other means of obtaining a brew, this one works.

            15000
            You need 15,000 x Rat  (you have 255598)

            5000
            You need Rat Points 5,000 (you have 4419)
