Testing announcement quest

It's way too late for this example, but people I was chatting with about it suggested I post anyway for analogous stuff that might come up later.

Some of us can and do read and retain what's on splash screens, like the one that appeared when entering the Test houses back when they were Test houses.  But some people don't read them, and others read them but don't really absorb them.  

What I think would stick better would be to have us act out a little morality play with our magic rock --

The rock offers the glitch the opportunity to customize a piece of test furniture (say, a stool -> chanterelle tuffet).  The glitch accepts the test furniture, and customizes it.  The rock takes it back.  The glitch says something snippy.  The rock re-explains the concept of "test furniture", gives the glitch a nominal reward, and offers them the choice to participate in the test house and test furniture.  If the glitch chooses "yes" they get access to the test house; if they choose "no", the quest goes back to their log and they can't get access to the test house until they come back and re-do it.  If a periodic reminder is desired, the rock can ask if you remember the chanterelle tuffet, and if you say no display a re-explanation of test furniture.
