Another Day, Another Bad Game.
[[Start Game]]Tired. You just woke up and you're already tired.
[[The Day is My Enemy]]
[[The Night is My Friend]]I hate mornings.
There's a gunshot next door.
You turn off your alarm and go back to sleep.
[[This crap can wait until tomorrow]]The nights are vibrant and full of life.
The city never sleeps, and that suits you just fine.
[[Start the evening]]Fuck, no it can't.
You get out of bed.
[[Coffee]]
[[Hot Shower]][[Quick shower]]
[[Cup of Tea]]Caffeine. The only good thing about being concious before midday.
[[Coffee Machine]]
[[Instant is fine]]A hot shower is exactly what you need.
Start your favourite morning playlist.
<<timed 3s>>
Get under the hot spray of water.
Upgrading your shower head had been a hassle, but it was more than worth it for the hot water at the exact right pressure hitting your back. It's like a massage.
The music, the water, the smell of your favourite body wash.
Perfection.
<</timed>>
<<timed 6s>>Finish washing up
Get out of the shower.
[[Get dressed for the day]]
<</timed>>Damn, out of grounds.
Need to get more later.
[[Instant is fine]], for now. Kettle on.
Coffee into your favourite mug.
Wait.
<<timed 4s>>
Do something else as the kettle boils.
[[Hot Shower]]
<</timed>>
Work today was simple.
Jeans and a tshirt are good enough.
[[Get your gun]]
[[Get the coffee]]
Don't forget the gun.
Put the gun in it's holster and grab your jacket.
[[Get the coffee]]The kettle boiled and cooled.
Reheat the kettle.
<<timed 3s>>
Water is boiled.
Pour water into mug with coffee.
Wait for a bit, take in the smell of the coffee.
Add an obscene amount of sugar and drink the coffee syrup.
[[Start leaving the house]]
<</timed>>Grab your wallet, keys and phone.
[[Leave the house]]<<timed 2s>>
Your neighbour got shot.
The EMT's are here.
It's none of your business. <</timed>>
<<timed 7s>>
They haul out a body bag.
So he's already dead.
Who'll the new neighbour be?
Hopefully someone who doesn't mind you blasting music 24/7.
[[Leave the apartment building]]
<</timed>>You head to the bakery across the street and buy a cinnamon roll.
You take it to go.
You stand at the pavement and watch the cars go by.
The smell of tire fumes and burning petrol are as familiar to you as water is to a fish probably.
It's gonna be a good day you decide.
A car pulls up next to you.
<<if hasVisited("Get your gun")>>
[[You smile at your colleague]]
<<elseif not hasVisited("Get your gun")>>
[[You smile at the stranger]]
<</if>>\
She smiles at you.
All teeth. No warmth.
That's why you love her.
Matter of fact.
[[Get in the car]]
She doesn't look at you.
She drives by.
You take in the street for a few more minutes before heading to the office you work at.
[[The Office]]It's a simple day at work.
Nothing much happens.
You get lunch at the cafeteria and eat with some co-workers.
It's a pleasant enough day.
[[The End]]
Rough morning, but a lovely day by the end.

}The radio is playing something classical, possibly Chopin.
You are both silent.
There is no need to talk
She stops in front of a warehouse
[[Get out of the car]]
You get out.
You walk into the warehouse and take your position in the back office.
You look over the empty warehouse.
It's gonna be a long and boring day.
You wish you could have stayed in bed instead.
[[The Game has Ended]]A lovely hot shower.
That's the best way to start your evening off.
Start your favourite shower playlist.
<<timed 1s>>
Get under the hot spray of water.
Upgrading your shower head had been a hassle, but it was more than worth it for the hot water at the exact right pressure hitting your face. It's like a massage.
The music, the water, the smell of your favourite body wash.
Perfection.
<</timed>>
<<timed 3s>>Finish washing up
Get out of the shower.
[[Get dressed for the night]]
<</timed>>Boil the kettle.
Wait.
<<timed 4s>>
Turn on the radio to listen to as you wait.
The music is soft and soothing.
It's getting you ready for your own DJ set.
But first
[[Prepare the tea]]
<</timed>>Evenings are cold. Perfect for cozy clothes.
Some sweatpants, a t shirt and hoodie.
Comfy and soft.
<<if hasVisited("Enjoy your tea")>>
You can now carry on with your lovely evening.
[[The Game has Ended]]
<<elseif not hasVisited("Cup of Tea")>>
Time for a [[Cup of Tea]].
<</if>>\
[[Loose leaf]]
[[Tea Bag]]
Great idea.
There's a lovely ceylon tea that you adore in the evenings.
Take some of the leaves, place into a tea strainer and place the strainer in the tea pot.
Wait until the kettle has finished boiling before adding the hot water to the pot and letting it steep for 3 minutes.
[[Go over your set list]]Sounds perfect.
There's some Darjeeling that a friend gifted you.
Place the tea bag in your favourite mug and wait until the water is boiled before pouring into the mug.
Leave to steep for 3 minutes.
[[Go over your set list]] Go through all the songs that you have and all the music that you feel like you are in the mood for.
Your set will be 1 hour, but it never hurts to have enough music for longer time.
[[Get your tea]]The tea is ready.
<<if hasVisited("Loose leaf")>>
Pour the tea into a cup and take that first perfect sip.
<<elseif hasVisited("Tea Bag")>>
Remove the tea bag and take a sip of the beautifully brewed tea.
<</if>>\
[[Enjoy your tea]]You sit and enjoy your tea languidly.
You'll leave the house in about thirty minutes, but for now you can slowly drink your tea and listen to your favourite radio station and think about the great evening that you are going to have tonight.
<<if hasVisited("Quick shower")>>
[[The Game has Ended]]
<<elseif not hasVisited("Quick shower")>>
Take a [[Quick shower]]

Thanks for playing.
