Key & Compass presents:
Breakfast in the Dolomites
by Roberto Ceccarelli

• your car's key. It's in the dashboard inside your car.
• After you've taken your backpack from your car's boot, lock the boot with the key, then lock the car itself with the key.
• If Monica complains that you haven't locked the car even when you have, just do it again. She won't complain if the car is locked last and if you're carrying the key directly when you walk east.
• a red backpack. It's in the boot of your car.
• Carry the backpack up to your room. You automatically leave it up there. You don't need to open it.
• a wallet. It's in your back right pocket.
• Open the wallet: it contains a photo, an identity card, a driving license, a credit card, a debit card, a supermarket fidelity card, and some money.
• At reception, show the identity card to the receptionist. Afterwards, put the card back into your wallet, and put the wallet back into your back right pocket.
• You won't need anything else from your wallet. I found it simplest to examine the wallet's contents near game's end at reception after using the toilet.
• a room key. At reception, the receptionist puts two room keys on his desk after you show your identity card to him.
• Take the key and go up to your room.
• The next day, you're at reception and carrying your room key regardless of what you did with it earlier. Put the key into your front right pocket. You will soon be carrying dishes and glasses from the buffet and you need your hands free for that.

• some hot drinks: a coffeecup of espresso coffee, a coffeecup of moka coffee, a coffeecup of barley coffee, a cup of barley coffee, a cup of cappuccino, cup of soy cappuccino, a cup of barley cappuccino, a mug of hot chocolate, and a cup of tea. The waitstaff brings one of these drinks to your table after you order it.
• When you first sit on the bench at your table, the waitstaff will ask which hot drink you want: coffee, hot chocolate, or tea. Tell them your choice; for example, SAY TEA TO WAITER. Answer any follow-up questions the same way.
• If you linger at your table after ordering, your and Mo's hot drinks are delivered before you go to the buffet. Otherwise, they're delivered as soon as you return from the buffet.
• If you asked for milk or lemon with your tea, those come in separate pots. Pour the milk or lemon into your tea.
• Drink your drink, of course. Put your empty coffeecup, cup, or mug into the round plastic container or onto your table.
• By the way, Mo always orders a hot chocolate unless you do; in that case, she orders a cappuccino.
• a pot of lemon juice. The waitstaff brings you this if you ask for lemon with your tea.
• POUR LEMON IN TEA. Your tea becomes a cup of lemon tea, and the pot is now an empty pot.
• a pot of milk. The waitstaff brings you this if you ask for milk with your tea.
• POUR MILK IN TEA. Your tea becomes a cup of milky tea, and the pot is now an empty pot.
• some cold drinks: a glass of orange juice, a glass of apple juice, a glass of pear nectar, a glass of water, and a glass of milk. On the buffet's cupboard, there are jugs and bottles of drinks on the cupboard, and empty glasses are in the cupboard's left drawer.
• Open the left drawer, take a glass, then pour your choice of drink into the glass.
• Note: Monica won't let you return to the dining room without a cold drink.
• Back at your table, drink your cold drink. Put your empty glass either into the round plastic container or onto your table.
• some vegetable juices: a glass of carrot juice and a glass of celery juice. You make it with the juicer at the buffet.
• After you finish eating all your food items and drink both your drinks, Monica sweetly asks if you could make her a drink by using the juicer. You can choose which vegetable to use. You cannot use both.
• Take an empty glass from the left drawer of the cupboard and put it into the juicer's recess.
• Put a carrot or celery rib onto the chopping board then chop it with the nearby knife.
• Open the juicer's lid and put the chopped vegetable into the bowl.
• Close the lid then turn on juicer. After a turn, no more juice flows. Turn off the juicer.
• Take the glass of juice to Monica. You automatically give it to her when you return to the dining room with it.

In general, take a dish and put your chosen foods onto your dish. Your egg will be on its own dish. Carry your dishes (with a cold drink) back to the dining room and put them onto your table. If desired, you may add appropriate items to your bread or crêpe to dress them up. Then eat your items one by one.

• two breads: a slice of white bread and a slice of pumpernickel bread. The white bread slices are in a white basket on the buffet table; the pumpernickel is in the brown basket.
• Put a bread slice on your dish.
• Back at the table, you can put butter on your bread. It's now a buttered slice of whichever bread.
• You can dress your bread (buttered or not) with jam or marmalade. Alternatively, you can dress your unbuttered bread with either meat or cheese. You cannot dress your bread more than once.
• two meats: a slice of salami and a slice of speck. Speck is on the first chopping board on the buffet table; salami is on the second board.
• Put a slice of meat on your dish. You can also put it on your bread or crêpe if it isn't buttered.
• a slice of Ahrntal grey cheese. Cheese is on a third chopping board on the buffet table.
• Feel free to put some cheese onto your dish or onto your bread or crêpe if it isn't buttered.
• a knob of butter. Knobs of butter are in a white bowl on the buffet table.
• Put butter on your dish.
• Back at your table, you may put the butter on your bread or crêpe, which is now styled as a buttered whatever.
• Note that if you want both butter and jam on your bread, you must put the butter on first. The resulting combo is styled as something like a buttered slice of white bread dressed with a portion of apricot jam.
• Note that if you butter something, you may not put meat or cheese on it now.
• three fruit spreads: a blueberry jam portion jar, an orange marmalade portion jar, and an apricot jam portion jar. Several jars of each are in red baskets on the buffet table.
• Feel free to put a jar or two on your dish.
• Back at your table, open the jar(s). You may put jam or marmalade on either your bread or your crêpe. Because of disambiguation problems, you'll need to be very explicit, eg: PUT PORTION OF BLUEBERRY JAM ON CREPE.
• Put the empty jar in the round plastic container before eating your bread or crepe unless you want to be rebuked by Monica for being untidy.
• two vegetables: a carrot and a celery rib. The carrots are in the first crate on the marble table; the celery ribs are in the second crate.
• You may put a vegetable on the provided chopping board and cut it with the provided knife, producing a chopped carrot or a chopped celery rib.
• You may simply put a vegetable on a dish and, at your table, eat it as is.
• When Monica asks you to make something with the juicer, use the chopped vegetables. See carrot juice and celery juice.
• some cooked eggs: a bull's eye fried egg, a scrambled fried egg, an omelette, a tomato stuffed omelette, a cheese stuffed omelette, a speck stuffed omelette, or a crêpe. The cook, Emma, makes them.
• CAUTION: Make sure you take dish for your other food first before getting your egg. Otherwise, you'll put everything onto your egg's dish and Monica won't let you leave the buffet with an empty dish.
• To get a cooked egg, greet the cook and say which egg you want; for example: SAY CREPE TO COOK. If the cook asks follow-up questions, make your selections the same way. Two turns later, the egg is cooked; take the dish from her.
• Back at your table, you may add items to your crêpe such as butter, jam, marmalade, meat, or cheese. The game treats your crêpe like a third type of bread, so only one dressing max, and butter can only be followed by jam or marmalade.

• some dishes. They're on the cupboard in the buffet area.
• As soon as you enter the buffet area for the first time, pick up a dish. Put all the food items you want onto this dish, other than the egg which gets its own dish.
• When you get back to your table, things go smoother if you sit first, then put everything you're carrying onto the table.
• some empty glasses. A supply of glasses is in the left drawer of the buffet's cupboard.
• Open the left drawer and take a glass, then fill it with one of the liquids available on cupboard. You now have a cold drink.
• When using the juicer, take a new glass from the left drawer and put it into the juicer's recess. When the juicer has finished its work, turn the juicer off then take the glass of juice from the recess.
• Note that you cannot put a glass of juice back into the recess even when you notice it's only half full.
• Carry the glass of juice back to the dining room. You automatically give it to Monica.
• a knife. It's on the cupboard.
• You need not explicitly pick up this knife.
• Use the knife to chop up a carrot or celery rib. Just put the vegetable onto the chopping board, then cut the vegetable with the knife.
• two knives, two teaspoons, two forks, two towels, and a round plastic container. These are all preset on your table in the dining room.
• Feel free to ignore the cutlery; you and Mo will use your cutlery automatically.
• The towels ought to be called paper napkins. You can ignore these too.
• The plastic container is for dirty dishes. Feel free to leave dishes, cups, and glasses on the table, but open empty jam and marmalade jars need to go into the plastic container as soon as possible.
• a written paper. It's on your table.
• Read it. It appears to be a simple welcome to the hotel.
• When Monica asks about the weather, ask the waiter, waitress, or receptionist about the weather: they all direct you to the newsletter on your table. Now ask any of the them about the newsletter; they tell you it's on the back side of your table's paper.
• Flip the paper. The back side has four sections. Read the weather section. Mo next asks about hiking, so read the hike section.
• Reading about the tip and the legend is optional. (Unfortunately, I don't know of any game where you get to participate in the legend described.)
• an empty coffeecup, an empty mug, or an empty cup. Your hot drink will be served in one of these containers. After you drink your hot drink, you're left holding the empty coffeecup, mug, or cup.
• The coffeecup is smaller than a regular cup, a concept that North Americans may find difficult to understand.
• Either put the empty coffeecup, mug, or cup onto the table or into the round plastic container.
• an empty pot. If you ordered milk or lemon with your tea, these additions are brought to your table in separate pots. When you pour the milk or lemon into your tea, you're left holding the empty pot.
• Either put the empty pot onto the table or into the round plastic container.
• an empty jar. The jams and marmalade are in small single-serving jars. Whenever you open one and put the spread onto your bread or crêpe, you're left holding the empty jar.
• Put the empty jar immediately into the round plastic container or suffer Monica's scorn.
• three bibs. They're in the right drawer of the cupboard in the buffet.
• You may take a bib and wear it, but you don't need any bib.
