Very interesting concept, long live the text-adventure! Drugs make for an interesting interface.

Love the effect the drugs have on the text. Interesting concept overall, i'd like to see it expanded to multiple days/tasks.

Kept replaying this loads of times so I could try and get all the possible endings. The one where you get arrested was pretty hilarious.

Freaking brilliant. it took me a while, but I made it to work. I havent played that many text based adventures so i kept getting arrested for public nudity.

Cool graphics. No sound :( (Could be terminal key tapping, beeps, sounds for using stuff, anything) Great writing! Overall really great. Just needs more stuff.. and sounds would be cool.

Minor nitpick: Using the human and then inspecting the street will still keep the human in the list, but the human is no longer present. And actually, there's more like that..

Great humor though!

Also:

The human appears to be heavily injured from repeated blows, as evidenced by the fact that it is either unconcious or dead.
And that your host is now covered in its blood.
>use human
Your host approaches the human and attempts to make conversation.
...
Your host successfully makes meaningless conversation with the human.
Your host feels good about its social skills.

..Well, alright then.
