The Way

(set: $playerName to (prompt: "Wake up?", "Enter Name")) (go-to:"Sim Convo")

<img src="images/2.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> “Oh hey Sim… everything good?” You fell asleep $playerName, you need to make sure you don’t do it when Lumbergh’s walking around. You know how he is. “Yeah, I know. Thanks for letting me know… have a great weekend!” Sim laughs confusedly, “Wait… don’t tell me… he’s got you finishing up the rest of the work today too.” She exhales, and says “you need to make sure to let him know that you can’t do it. Look at yourself, you look like you haven’t slept in over a month. Make sure you tell him… okay?” “I’ll let him know, Sim! Thanks, that really means a lot… and I’ll do that… or try… I mean do that.” No worries $playerName, have a great weekend! And try not to be too obvious when you fall asleep at work. You let out a slight chuckle and try to get yourself to feel awake. [[Next|FridayLateWork]] (live:15s)[ <audio src="sounds/chuckle.mp3" autoplay>]

<img src="images/3.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You take a look at your clock and see that it’s 5:00 PM. You take a couple long blinks to make sure that what you’re seeing is right because based on the work that you have left… tonight’s gonna be another long night in a string of long work nights with almost all of them taking place on Friday. You wonder why it’s always Friday… you know that work needs to be completed before the weekend but you never quite get the answer that you’re really looking for. You push that thought to the back of your mind and you try to psych yourself up to work for another couple hours. “Another Friday in… or out of the books”, you say to yourself as you lean back on your computer office chair, hearing the slight creaking of the chair, as you look up at the fluorescent office lights separated by grey ceiling tiles. You know… maybe… just maybe there’s a treasure chest or something hidden in the vents. Not sure why it’d be there, but not gonna lie that’d be pretty cool, and that’d save me a lot of time looking around the city. You laugh that off, take a deep breath and bring the chair back to its normal position. It’s time to finish this and get out of the office. [[Next|Get Ready To Work]]

Right as you’re about to finish the third report, you take a look at some of the calculations and realize that the information is off. You can’t hand in something off, otherwise the blame is all gonna be on you… AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. "Now I need to fix this up." You exhale defeatedly and begin fixing up the work which takes an extra hour to get done. [[Finish revised report 3]]

<img src="images/6.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> [[Head to the elevator]]

<img src="images/7.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> And then out of nowhere you see Jimmy. A sales manager at the company. You really wish that you had left even 10 minutes earlier. [[Exhale]]

[[Wave to Jimmy]]

<img src="images/8.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> Hey there, has everything been going well? [[It’s been good!]] [[Eh, things have been alright]] [[Couldn’t be any worse]] [[Rather not talk about it]]

That’s great to hear $playerName, I’ve been having a great time myself. [[Next|Jimmy Convo]]

No worries about that, $playerName. You know me, I’m not one to pry. [[Next|Jimmy Convo]]

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, $playerName. Now I feel a bit bad for asking. But hey, you want to know something. You’ll get through this, if I can then you can. [[Next|Jimmy Convo]]

Oh… yeah we all have days like those, $playerName. Luckily, I haven’t been going through those these days. But oh my god… I remember the one time that I took the bus to work… and yeah… that was life changing! [[Next|Jimmy Convo]]

<img src="images/7.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You hear him talk on and on making various exaggerating expressions as you wonder what you’ve done to be caught in conversation with your coworker, Jimmy. You were just about to take the elevator to leave work and escape from the corporate drudgery for the weekend, when you just met Jimmy. He was just headed back in from a meeting that he just finished an hour back and was now headed to his task as he stopped in your tracks for a follow up conversation. “I should’ve just taken the stairs”, you think to yourself. [[Next|Jimmy Convo 2]]

<img src="images/9.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> Anyways. Oh I forgot to tell you something. I just went out with the family to the Uplands over the weekend. I was thinking of going myself, but you know you gotta get the kids out of the house and see the real world. How much are you really gonna learn from playing games and going on that TikTok? Oh, how rude of me have you been there? To the Uplands? Oh… you haven't, you must go. It’s an amazing experience. He goes on and on about his day, as you’re slowly losing focus from the documents that you had to analyze and fix. Your boss, Bill Lumbergh, just decided to hand that very special over to you because what is time but a construct (ahhhhhhhhhhhh). “Make sure you don’t forget the TPS Report,” said Lumbergh before he left your cubicle earlier today with his World’s Best Boss mug. You’ve never been quite sure who gifted it to him. It seems more likely that he bought it himself. “What a guy…”. The clock ticks and you see that it’s now 9 PM and not wanting to spend anymore time in this “Office Space”. You decide to actually get out of here . … and you know what we’re going to head up over to the Island this weekend and just get some R&R. You know how it goes. In complete confusion, you reply back “sure… yeah. I know I know. But hey Jimmy, I’m gonna head home now. It’s been great talking to you, have a great weekend there bud!” [[Next|Jimmy Convo End]]

<img src="images/10.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> And with that, and a slight head nod and a slight smile you establish the end of your conversation and walk the 15 steps needed to get to the elevator and press the down arrow. It currently shows that it's on the ground floor of 6 floors, so it should be here relatively soon. You breathe a sigh of relief and let your shoulders shrug to give them a bit of a break. You take off your bag and place it in your hand as you await the elevator. In an act of complete tiredness you lean up against the closed elevator door hoping to rest for a good minute or so. But 30 seconds in, the elevator door dings and opens leaving you completely surprised with an unexpected fall onto the ground. Luckily no one was there to see it. After brushing yourself up (of absolutely minimal dust) you pick up your bag and your somewhat lost dignity/ego (whichever you prefer) and enter the elevator. Once you’re in you head over to the elevator panel and see the same 7… wait 8 buttons. They’re the usual ones you see. [[Next|Elevator Panel]] <audio src="sounds/elevator.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/10.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> 6 (hidden button under rectangle) 4 5 2 3 G M As well as this random unidentified button that you see right beside the button for the sixth floor. It seems to be hidden under a white tape or something like that. And it's smaller than the rest of the buttons. Why is that?. “But where does it even go?”, you ask yourself. “Maybe I’ll try to find that out another day”, you decide and you press the “Ground Floor” button and the elevator starts. [[cue elevator music]]

Will you take this moment to think about work? [[Yes|YesElevator]] [[No|NoElevator]]

<img src="images/13.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> The walk to the bus stop has been something that you’ve personally enjoyed for some time now. It’s usually the only point in the day that you get a moment to think, a moment to reflect or a moment to just walk and not do anything. Today you decide to not do anything. You hear, the slight whooshes of cars driving by, the red, green and yellow from the traffic lights illuminated your path from far away. You finally reach the pedestrian walk, press the signal and wait a few seconds till it tells you to proceed. The sign changes from a red hand to the waking signal. You take a second to look over your shoulder to make sure no one is going to turn when you’re walking. You see no one so you proceed with walking. Once you’ve crossed, you talk 20 steps straight to the bus bench and sit down there. You put your bag on the bag beside you. There’s no one else around you and not much to look at aside from the street lights, cars driving past and the occasional person walking to or from their cars. You take a quick look at your watch and the time reads 9:10 PM. The bus to go home usually arrives at 9:15 PM. So you have a few minutes to relax and chill. [[Next|Chill And Relax]] <audio src="sounds/nighttimetraffic.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/14.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You lean forward on the bench and support your head with your hands with your elbows placed on your thighs. Today’s been a long day and right now getting back home is gonna be the biggest thing. “I need food and sleep”, you say to yourself as you wonder what would’ve happened if you hadn't taken this job after finishing Uni. “Was this the right decision?” And like that, the bus arrived. [[Get On Bus]]

<img src="images/15.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You climb up the two steps and say “Hello” to the bus driver. “Hey, how are you doing $playerName? Another long day at work, eh?” You take a second to nod and say “yeah, another day. How have you been doing?” “Just the same old… just the same old. Well… actually you know what you must’ve had a long day. Go and take a seat and have a great day there kiddo!” Following that you turn and face the nearly empty bus. With only clusters of people seated at the front and back, you decide to take a seat in the middle right besides a window so you can look at and… and… and… you fall asleep. You hear the stop alarm go off, and you wake up startled. Hoping dearly that you didn’t miss your stop and you realize that you’ve been asleep for about 30 minutes and are nearly there at your stop. To make sure that you don’t fall asleep again you decide to move over to the aisle seat and you face the door. [[5 stops to go.]] <audio src="sounds/busarrive.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/18.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You’ve gotten home, and quickly put your belongings away. You go through your fridge to find leftovers from the before. What will you eat today: Choose food: (dropdown: bind $dinnerFood, "rice and chicken","slices of pizza","quesadilla","chicken wings and fries") [[Heat up food]]

<img src="images/19.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You put your $dinnerFood in the microwave to heat it up. While your food is heating up, you decided to turn on your laptop and try to catch the Canucks game. It’s about halfway through the second period with the Canucks leading with a score of 3 to 1 against the Sharks. By the time that the game is up and running, the microwave beeps and you bring your food to the table and you watch the game and eat your food. By the time that the 2nd period is over, so is your food. “I gotta make sure that I buy lunch next time”, you think to yourself as you realize that you’ve forgotten to pack a lunch for the past 2 days. You take your dishes to the sink, and decide to wash them today to make sure that you have some time to relax and chill tomorrow. Now that everything is done: [[Do you want to stay up a little while longer]] [[Or go to sleep?]] <audio src="sounds/microwave.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/21.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You make your way to bed, change your clothes and fall asleep as soon as your head hits the bed. [[Next day]] <audio src="sounds/snoring.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/20.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You throw on the new Netflix show that everyone has been talking about. Watch two episodes and realize that you'll probably fall asleep on the chair if you don't move. So you turn everything off and head to bed. [[Next|Or go to sleep?]] <audio src="sounds/tvshow.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/22.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> Bill Lumbergh is calling. “Why me?”, you ask yourself and reluctantly pick up the call. Hey there $playerName, looks like we’re gonna need you to come in today. We’ll need you in for about… uh 9:30 AM, it’s abouuuuut 8:30 AM so you might want to hurry up. Anyways, have a great day. You shake your head in absolute confusion. How did that happen that quickly? Well… at least I get paid for it. [[Hurry Up And Get Dressed]] <audio src="sounds/phone.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/23.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You jump out of bed realizing that it’s now 8:35 AM, you rush to shower, brush and put on your office clothes. “Alright, I think that I’ve got everything. Just need to make sure that I’m not missing anything.” [[Check Your Pockets]]

<img src="images/24.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> Alright, I have my wallet… and wait… WHERE ARE MY KEYS??? Oh, they’re on the table. [[Pick Up Keys]]

<img src="images/25.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You pick up the keys and put them in your pocket. You grab your jacket, quickly throw on your shoes and make your way out of the door. Locking the door and sprinting to the bus stop. You arrive with just a minute to spare, as the bus was just about to stop there if there wasn’t the red light that stopped it. [[Thank the light]]

<img src="images/26.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> "Well that was close. Thank you, red light in front of the bus stop… not really sure if you understood what I said, but I truly mean that." The bus shows up. You get on the bus. You walk towards the middle and hold onto the yellow railing, and place your bag on the floor. You take a moment to actually breathe and catch your breath. [[Arrive at work]] <audio src="sounds/busarrive.mp3" autoplay>

Hey there everyone! It’s me Bill. Hope that you’re having an excellent weekend and for those who specially took time out of their day to work on the project we are truly thankful for your loyalty and your passion for the work that you do. Just wanted to let everyone know that we will be having a meeting first thing on Monday morning. It’s essential that all employees attend as there will be structural changes that will affect the future of the company. There will be a lot of information that will be discussed so please be sure to come to the conference room first thing Monday morning. We will ensure that all payments are sent out regardless of what happens on Monday. Best Regards, Bill Lumbergh You shake your head in slight disgust as you look at the other two people in the office. You see a frightened expression on their faces. Wait… oh no. [[The Memory]]

The other people here are the people that brought their entire families to the annual Christmas Party. A great time for a few and just an awkward meeting of people that just seems very forced. I’m not really sure why I think like that but that isn’t important. Tim, Raj and Sophie were the ones that I remember talking to the most… mainly because they were also the ones who worked on the weekends. They have young families and losing their jobs would be detrimental. You don’t know what to do… and right before you do the 3 of them step away from their desks and make their way out of the office. You want to say something, but could anything I say really help? [[You decide to wait]] <audio src="sounds/partymusic.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/29.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You exhale and decide to take a walk. Around the floor, and end up facing the window. Do you want to look out? [[Yes]] or [[No]]

You decide to look out the window and you see the 3 of them having a discussion about something and then they get into their cars and drive away. Couldn't Lumbergh have sent the email on Sunday... or even on Monday. Why mess with the people already here? [[Next|Back to office]]

<img src="images/2.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You decide to continue walking. [[Next|Back to office]]

<img src="images/28.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You decide to take a trip back to the office so that you can logout and pick up your belongings. Just before you logout you decide to check your email for the last time this week and potentially for the rest of your time here. But when you open it up you don’t see the previous email. In fact, it’s been recalled. Instead a new email comes out reading: [[Click to read|Click to read2]] <audio src="sounds/email.mp3" autoplay>

“What’s wrong with this guy?”, you think to yourself. “How do you mess something up this bad? I mean it’s not the first time but still. Hopefully everyone reads the email and that helps things out. I think that they have mail on their phones, so it should help out, right? I can’t imagine what Tim, Raj and Sophie are going through.” Alright, so… work is done… and so am I. It’s time to get out of here now. [[Logout|Logout2]]

<img src="images/7.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You head to the elevator and this time you decide to live a little more dangerously (shout out Austin Powers) and you click on the unnamed and hidden button. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b6_IZK-1naY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> What’s the worst that can happen?

<img src="images/10.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> After attempting to press the button about a half dozen or so times, I now know the answer it’s… ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The button doesn’t even work. You can barely press it. It’s more like an ornament to the elevator screen. For some reason you feel absolutely defeated. Not quite sure why you think that… but maybe hoping that something different would happen for once brought expectations that you couldn’t cash in on. [[Go home]] <audio src="sounds/button.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/21.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You arrive home. You’re tired. You feel numb to the surrounding world. The weekend has finally arrived. You feel too tired to really do much so you just put your belongings on the kitchen table and make your way to your bed. You lazily fall down and try to fall asleep. [[1 hour passes]]

<img src="images/21.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> [[2 hours pass]]

<img src="images/21.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You get up. You couldn’t sleep and for some reason you’ve got a headache. [[Walk to kitchen]]

<img src="images/32.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> Out of the corner of your eye, you notice a book… wait… no, a book, a diary or a journal or a notebook. Something that contains a number of pages in it. Oh… wait, that’s the doodling-writing notebook that you’ve tried to start numerous times. It has doodles of something that you decided to draw, it even has the same pen that you used in one of the pages. It’s not really the greatest but it was kinda fun to do. I mean who doesn’t like making random sketches that were meant to be something but turn out to look like something else… and end up being slightly better than what you initially expected. [[Flip through the pages]]

<img src="images/32.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> As you flip through the pages, you see pages filled with various different doodles. Many of which you can’t tell what they are, and many which look like tornadoes or the Superman S… and random sketches trying to be different things. But as you can continue flipping through the pages you see a page with a few story ideas. 1) the journey to a mountainous academy hidden away in the forest 2) the book that never finishes, whatever you think is what it shows. 3) the loneliness of an unfulfilled life 4) finding a treasure map for a chest hidden somewhere in the city 5) finishing a story that you want to write [[blink]]

<img src="images/32.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You feel a sense of relief and feel like something within you has been reinvigorated. You feel the desire to want to write something at least. Even a sentence or two. More than once every couple of years. Now… the only question is what do you want to write about? Choose story idea: (dropdown: bind $storyIdea, "save the world from the end of the world","the magical elevator that ACTUALLY leads somewhere","the most scary haunted house in the world… that isn’t scary") [[Chose Story Place]]

You're a person who's steadfast in their beliefs and won't go down without a fight. That's why you've started this journey and why you won't back down. Also, as you began heading off onto your journey, you ran into somebody you wouldn't have considered meeting in a million years: $storyPerson. You're still not quite sure where they came from, but I guess the more the merrier. And with your current tandem, you're sure that you will emerge victorious! Huh, that’s not bad.

<img src="images/12.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> Flashes of the day echo through your mind. The noises of keyboard keys, mouses clicks, an overall busy ambience clouding the air, with slight chatter and the occasional conversations about what's needing to be done and all. A slight headache that starts because of all of this... and you're back in the elevator. [[Continue|Continue Elevator Journey]] <audio src="sounds/breathing.mp3" autoplay>

You listen to the elevator music (too doo too) [[Continue|Continue Elevator Journey]] <audio src="sounds/elevatormusic.mp3" autoplay>

<img src="images/11.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"> You reach the ground floor, exit the elevator and make your way to the front door. Nobody else at work is here, the few remaining people are still in the office above. Essentially everyone has left and the silence of the building grows loud. You hear the elevator ting and instinctively your eyes go right toward the elevators… but nobody is there. That’s a little bit odd, but maybe somebody accidentally pressed the button and took off on the floor before. “Can’t do anything about it now”, you say to yourself and step outside in the cold winter air. You take a deep breath and instantly feel more awake. With your eyes feeling the most awake that they have today, you walk on over to the nearest bus stop which is just a street away. “It’s finally time to go home”, you say to your now not too tired self. [[Next|Start Journey To Go Home]]

“Huh, that’s actually not that bad. Maybe I actually should write more”, you say to yourself with a grin slowly making its way across your face. You feel a sense of accomplishment. You set your pen on the last page that you just worked on and close the book. You leave it on top of the table so that you see it first thing tomorrow when you wake up. You’re really looking forward to continuing the story… and hopefully you do! You head to bed feeling like you’ve done something that you’ve always wanted to do and fall asleep right away. Right now nothing else seems like a big issue. You’ve got this! [[WOOT WOOT!!!]]
