''[[MONDAY]]'' BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP It's your alarm. You unenthusiastically turn it off and .... [[Wakeup for work]] You sluggishly get out of bed and fit your feet into your grey slippers. Standing up, you head to the bathroom. Suddenly you hear a large crashing sound from outside. "Oh Jesus, what's that" [[Go to your window]] You look outside and see your neighbour's son throwing a car with big ribbon on it around the place. "I told you I don't need a car when I can simply sprint to places much faster! Stop underestimating me and my powers! I don't need to be downgraded to live your sort of lifestyle!" [[Sigh, this again]] Has happened twice this month, Joey Treyson or as he likes to be called "The Truck", throwing an absolute fit over this same situation over and over again. However never to a magnitude this bad. His parents look panicked. Joey's mum has her hands over her mouth and his father is just constantly shouting "JOSEPH! JOSEPH STOP! JOSEPH!" [[Try to handle the situation outside]] [[Don't intervene]] You make your way to your front door and open it. Luckily none of your property has been damaged. In front of you are your neighbours in their front garden continuing with their quarrel. The mother turns around and looks at you with an expression of regret on her face. "I am so sorry about all of this" she says looking very worried. Joey doesn't stop with his tantrum and continues to smash the car all around the place. [[Try to catch Joey's attention]] [[Ask Joey's mother what happened]] You stick on a dressing gown and head to the kitchen. You can still hear the loud ruckus going on outside. You pour yourself some cereal and begin to pour milk into it. A large rumble suddenly occurs, probably coming from outside and it causes you to spill your milk. You sigh. Then you hear a large crashing sound. That better not be my windwow. [[Try to handle the situation outside]] "Joey!" you shout. He doesn't notice you and continous to smash the vehicle. [[Shout again and louder]] shout his nickname, the [["Truck"]] "We have been encouraging Joey to try fit into a normal lifestyle by getting a car instead of just running around the place. Sure he has super speed and all that but he scares other drivers running on the road alongside the other vehicles. However he isn't keen on driving as he says it's pointless for him and 'devalues' his powers" She says. Joey screams more. [[Try to catch Joey's attention]] Nope no use, seems like he has lost all focus on his surroundings and his brain is only focused on rage. Sigh, looks like you're going to have to use that word [["Truck"]] The fact you called him that makes you cringe a little. Nevertheless it works. He turns around shouting at the top of his voice "I hear someone call my name, does someone dare to challenge the almighty Truck! This town's most dedicated hero with the potential to someday become a premium hero providing protection and care to those in need but who will take down anyone who gets in the way of justice! Ever since a young age..." He hasn't noticed you yet. [[Interupt him]] [[Let him blabber on for a bit]] "Oh sorry, Joey it was me who called you, your neighbour" you say nervously. "You, your Kester Audrey, right?" He says looking down at you. "The psychic" he says. [["No I'm Rick, Rick Clutch"]] "... I have always been looking for a way to take down opponents who disrupt our society in harmful ways due to them commiting crimes and spreading their evil amongst the lands! However those who stand in the way of the Truck shall be flattened as I will hit into them just like how a truck can hit into a human being at the whopping speed of 125 km an hour! Who DARE stand in the way of the Truck!?" Joey's father facepalms. [["Em I did but I don't want to fight"]] [["Um, me"]] [[Say you did't do it]] "Then what do you want?" he demands. [["Would you mind not causing so much noise and destruction"]] Joey looks down on you sternly. "Are you challenging me?" [["Not at all"]] [["Yeah I am, stop making so much noise"]] Joey notices and looks down at you. "So it wasn't you? Then who was it?" [[Ok it was me]] [[Some person who was passing by but ran away]] "Rick Clutch?" he says to himself tapping his finger on his chin. "The Fire Elementist?" he asks. [["No"]] "Hmmm, the human magnet? the person with sword hands? The guy who sweats maple syrup?" [[No, I'm none of them]] Joey's father steps in. "Joseph, I advice you stop asking, it's very rude" he orders. "How's it rude I just want to find out who he is, if he's Anderson he's got one hell of a fight coming to him, challenging me last week like that telling me my powers won't get me into the premium league, who is he to..." Suddenly a large branch surrounds Joey and grips him. "What the.." Joey splutteres. "Jasmine! We don't use powers on our son! You should ..." the dad shouts. Joey's mum looks at Joey. "He's the one who...doesn't have powers" says Joey's mum. Suddenly a look of regret appeared on Joey's face and his shoulders slump to a less tense state. "Sorry Mr Crutch, I ... I didn't mean to cause such a public disruption sorry for my immaturity" he says looking down at the ground. [[Don't worry it's fine, just don't do something like this again]] [["Ive got to get to work, just please don't do this again"]] [["As long as you don't let this happen in the future again, I'm fine"]] "Yes sir" he says in a contained manner. You digital watch beeps and you look at it seeing that you're train will be arriving soon if you don't get moving [[Anyways I got a train to catch so ill see you again sometime]] "Sorry sir" he says full of regret. You're digital watch beeps and you realise that you're train will be arriving shortly. [[Anyways I got a train to catch so ill see you again sometime]] "Yes sir, won't happen again" he says with assurance. Suddenly you're digital watch beeps and you realise that you're train will be arriving soon enough. [[Anyways I got a train to catch so ill see you again sometime]] He looks up and sees the car held in hands. He thinks for a few seconds and looks around him for a bit. His forehead becomes less crinkled and he then puts the car down. "I went on quite the tantrum again didn't I?" he asks. [["Yes you did, don't do this again"]] [["Well it's all over now anyways, just don't do this again"]] He stays silent for a bit and looks around to see that all his neighbours are looking at him from their windows. He continuous to stay silent. Then his mother speaks up. "I am so sorry for all the disturbances Rick, I'll make sure that he is no longer up to any of his shenanigans". [[Good to hear anyways I got to go Mr and Mrs Treyson]] He pauses for a second and then says "Yeah, sorry I'll em try make sure this doesn't happen again. I'll try not to overreact as much next time" Joey's father goes up to you. "I'm so sorry about all this I'll make sure to have a good discussion with him later about his actions and about adapting to how we transport to places" the father says. Joey looks away for a bit after the father mentions the transport topic. [[Good to hear anyways I got to go Mr and Mrs Treyson]] "Then why didn't you admit the first time?" he asks. [[A nervous splutter]] [["I just want you to stop being so loud"]] "How dare someone challenge me like that and run away! What a coward! I must find him!". After he says that he runs off in a search of finding this person you made up. "Oh Joseph" the dad says facepalming again and then chases after Joey with the mother. [[Well that's that]] [[Oh god what have I done]] Well at least the problem has been sorted, kinda, he won't be disrupting my area anyways so it's all good. I guess it's also good for the other close neighbours as well as they won't have to deal with his loud nuisances either. It seems like Joey is going for a long run and his uproar is becoming a lot more distant and quieter. Suddenly you feel you're digital watch beep. "Oh crap I'm gonna be late for work" you think to yourself and you rush home to get changed. [[An hour later]] A huge amount of guilt suddenly flows through you as you see Joey run off in his enraged tantrum. Even his parents are using their special powers to try control their child. You want to help out but you suddenly feel my watch beep and you check it to see that you're train is coming very shortly. "I'm a horrible person" you think to myself and then run home to get changed [[An hour later]] [[An hour later]] [[An hour later]] Sooo...[[Where should I begin]] "Ok so you're not owning up to me, well then, is it a fight you want? Is that what you ...." Joey is interrupted as a large tree branch surrounds and grips him. "What the ..." he splutters. "Julianne what are you doing we don't use powers on our son?!" the father shouts. "Look what our son is doing! He is threatening our poor neighbour who probably came out to tell Joey that he is being too loud and destructive. We need to take responsibility and even use our powers. It's the only way we can control the current situation!" she shouts. The father pauses and then nods his head. "You're right, if we can't control Joey from disrupting others with our words then I guess we'll have to use our powers". He turns to you. "I am so sorry for all the inconveniences Rick, we will make sure our son doesn't misbehave again". [["As long as you don't let this happen in the future again, I'm fine"]] [["Ive got to get to work, just please don't do this again"]] "Then what do you want?" he asks. [["Would you mind not causing so much noise and destruction"]] "So you're insulting me then!?" he shouts. [[A nervous splutter]] [["I just want you to stop being so loud"]] "The only one being loud is..." he is interuppted by the car alarm of the broken car going off in his hands. He pauses for a second but then continuous to talk loudly over the car alarm noise. "Em, er as I was saying, the only one being loud is ..." He is interrupted again as another neighbour form the next house opens their window and shouts "FOR CHRIST SAKE SHUT UP! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SLEEP IN FOR THIS MORNING BUTS ITS IMPOSSIBLE WITH ALL YOU'RE NOISE". "Um....uh..." Joey starts [["Would you mind not causing so much noise and destruction"]] You are probably confused, very confused as to what the hell is happening. Getting straight to the point, people have powers now, not some people, not most of the people, everyone, everyone has powers now. Some people can fly, some people can run really fast, some people are even bullet-proof. Then there's me, Rick Clutch, the only person in the world I'm pretty sure, to not have superpowers and I've decided to put you, the player, in my shoes, to put you in an average working week of [[my life]] I've decided to make a game about this. I want to see what you would do as me in my kinda world. I've got a friend who can enter alternate dimensions, one of which was your dimensions btw. He is doing the kind favour of putting this game up online for you non-super power people like me, [[to see]] psst, if you ever get to my universe somehow please don't tell anyone, it's illegal for him to use his powers and he really should be locked up due to the amount of change he can cause to our planet and other planets but that's just a secret between you and me *wink wink*. He has a long [[backstory]], but never mind about that. Let's talk about [[how]] my world became like the way it is today. Or do you want to skip that stuff cuz your [[bored]] He was one of the few people who gained one of these special Nova abilities or whatever you call em. Basically an ability that if used wrongly can endanger the human population. Yeah, quite crazy I know, he is the only one with that ability who hasnt been set in extreme confinement, he managed to get away with it for some snakey work for the government, wow I am saying waaay too much [[thank god no one in my universe is playing this.]] I wouldn't be a good [[friend]] of his if I were telling people in my universe about this. Some big, green, weird lookin asteroid hit our earth and emitted lots of weird gas affecting everyone on this planet giving them powers bar me for some strange reason. An immunity I guess and now powers are being passed on to younger generations through genetics so thats great. It annoys me how much this changed [[the society]] in my world but ah well.Hopefully the guy with the [[backstory]] doesn't mind this critism on powers aswell. Hmm yeah I was doing a lot of talking there, sorry, should make sure to keep my monologging short. Ok so basically your gonna play as me again very soon so get very ready. Your about to be me in 3, 2, [[1]] Aaand your walking down to your job, your job as a car salesman. Quite the competitive job I must say, especially when your rival for that promotion you want is a guy who can read minds. Yeah, it's quite a [[bummer]] *Sigh* What about the part where I bitch about stuff I have to deal with and talk about [[the world]] I now live in. Or are you just interested in getting back to [[the society]] And you've reached it, your job. A wide store with walls of glass and white brick stands in front of you. You enter through the door to be greeted by the lovely receptionist, Samantha, the girl with eagle claws for hands and feet. She stops making tapping noises of her claws clicking away at her keyboard and looks up at you with a friendly greeting smile. "Hey Rick" she says with a smile. [[Hey there]] Like I feel like if I revealed this game in my universe I could gain a lot of haters. Some people in my universe are really sensitive when anything to do with their lifestyle is critisized which may be interpreted when playing this game. Also doing my [[friend]] a solid aswell by not revealing this info to others We were good mates in primary school, I bumped into him many years later at the local supermarket, went out for a drink at the pub, many drinks later he told me his entire backstory while we tried to keep our balance, next morning he rang me telling me how regretfull he was for revealing confidential info. We're really good friends. Wow so much text I hope your not [[bored]]. Or your interested in [[how]] my world became like this. Well basically these powers highly affect people and their ego. My society has become revolved around powers a lot. People commit a lot more crimes like theft with the aid of their powers. People like to save people and stop crimes with the aid of their powers. People like to show off with the aid of their powers. Having a good power and perfecting it is like owning a really really good car, [[you just wanna show it off]]. Also the government respecting and paying really strong heroes is a plus aswell. A pretty big job creating plus. Oh and trust me it affects people's ego so badly. Joey 'The Truck' is a really good example of this. Like the nickname thing is not just used by him, it's used by many, by people who want to be known by their "superhero" name. But disrespect em and they will certainly lose their temper as the ego gets to their head. [[Anyways..]] do you wanna hear [[how]] people got superpowers in my world or we [[all cool]] Alrighty back to the game we go, in 3, 2, [[1]]... "It's been a crazy morning, was reading the newspaper on the train up to here and I heard Sulveria Stormscream managed to prevent a terrorist attack from happening up in Atlanta. She seriously is so amazing, definitely deserving of making it into the premium league of heroes." [[Yeah she's quite incredible]] [[Just another premium league hero I guess haha]] "Isn't she! Like I love all the other premium league heroes like Dominion and Boombox, but it's her that's my favourite, no one ever got to the league as fast as her, she's so [[...]]" "haha yeah I guess so, they are all quite incredible, the amount of respect each of them gain is crazy, maybe your friend [[...]]" An alternate voive interupts her, "Rick" it calls. A one armed, middle aged woman wearing a white formal shirt with rolled up sleeves complemented by black ironed trousers enters the room. The smoke coming from her cigars makes you cough a bit. Without even looking at her face you know who she is. "You need to get to work, [[stop stalling]] around" "Mar..Margarett, I'm sorry, this isn't his fault I was talking to him" Samantha says. Margarett readjusts one of the cigars in her mouth. "Is this true" she says. "Is this the reason for your delayed arrival to work? A boss should always ask all people involved" [[Yes it's true]] [[No I am to blame]] [[I contributed towards the conversation, this isn't solely her fault]] Samantha keeps her head down, looking at the floor. "[[Hmmf]]" Margarret grunts Samantha quickly looks at you with eyes of confusion and worry. "[[Hmmf]]" Margarett grunts Samantha looks at you with suprise. "[[Hmmf]]" Margarrett grunts "Well luckily it ain't a big deal anyways, your only what, like 30 seconds late to work so your fine, unlike your work colleague [[Badal]] who was half an hour early to work. No need to worry and be so dramatic" Ugh Badal, he's the mind reading work rival. Typical of him to arrive this early. You give Samantha a wave as Margarrett leaves and you head to your [[workplace]]. Here it is, your desk with all the neccessary equipment you need, surrounded by cars which is your jobs to sell. You look across the large room and see the desks of the few other car sales people. You then see Badal's desk on the opposite end of the room. Speaking of Badal, [[where]] is he? "Yoooo" A hand grasps your shoulder from behind and you almost jump with fright. You turn around and see Badal standing straight in front of you. With his earpiece in and his bald head routinely shaved, he greets you with a smile. "How is my work buddy doin?" he asks maintaining his smile. His blue suit is clean and neat as usual and his black, scrubbed shoes reflect a shine in your eyes. [[I'm doing fine]] "Oh great, that's great to hear. I'm doing fine aswell. Just sold 3 cars yesterday, pretty sure that's a record breaker. Quite happy to be honest" [[Ah that's great]] [[cool to hear man]] "Hmm, haha you almost sound sarcastic when you say that haha, you weren't being sarcastic right?" [[I was being sarcastic]] [[No I actually wasn't being sarcastic]] "Yeah, it's definitely 'cool' to hear. I actually feel bad for Ted, I managed to sell a car to a customer yesterday who already previously came here. That customer refused to buy the sweet new Honda we got this month when Ted tried to sell him it, but he decided to return back looking for a different car, so I took care of him and managed to sell him the Honda car that Ted was trying to sell him, crazy right?" [[He was probably unlucky]] [['yeah, crazy']] "That's what I thought too, but then I talked to Margarrett about it and she thinks it was his performance, apparantly his sales have been going awfully recently, yikes" [[k]] [[poor Ted]] He gives you a little look for a second. "Anyways I got a little bit of [[news]] for you" He gives you a look for a second and then laughs. "Haha I always knew you were a great joker, haha got me with that funny little jab there haha, don't worry I won't use any comeback insults like how my sales have been topping yours for a long time now or anything haha because I know you were only joking around. Anyways I got some [[news]] that you might want to hear" "Alright, alright, it cool you know I'm only playing with you. Anyways I got some cool [[news]] for you" "Yeah, yeah. Anyways, enough about me and Ted lets talk about you. I've got some pretty cool [[news]] for you to hear" "I know right if only he could be as good as me. Or maybe you" [[um yeah]] [[hmm]] "Anyways, enough about me and Ted lets talk about you. I've got some pretty cool [[news]] for you to hear" "Anyways, enough about me and Ted lets talk about you. I've got some pretty cool [[news]] for you to hear" "Last week I came across a number of individuals who wanted to buy cars off of me. I wanted to serve all their needs but sadly I was unable to due to how many of them wanted my services. That's why I booked one of them for you instead as I know that you still have a good chunk of space for booked customers" [[Cool, thanks]] [[Is there a catch?]] "No problem, friend. He arrives here at 9:30 am, so get ready, as for me I got to go to Margarrett's office for a quick meeting, have [[fun]]" "Haha, do you really distrust me that badly? No no silly, I'm for real there is customer coming into you today at 9:30 am. It isn't a prank where I make you wait for no one to come. There is a genuine customer arriving here at that time" [[Oh, thanks]] [[Ok]] "No problem. Anyways I got to go to Margarrett's office for a quick meeting, have [[fun]]" "Not even a thank you haha?" [[Thanks]] [[don't respond]] "See that wasn't that hard, right haha? Anyways I got to go to Margarrett's office for a quick meeting, have [[fun]]" "Haha" He points at you "Your a funny one you are, a real joker haha. Anyways I got to go to Margarrett's office for a quick meeting, have [[fun]]" And with that he's off, you look at your watch. 9:29 am. The customer should be here any [[minute]] now And with that you here the door open. You turn around to the sound. You see your customer. "Badal" you think to yourself "You son of a bitch, there was a [[catch]]" In front of you, entering the shop, is your customer, a giant heap of goop. Like literally it is a a giant blop of multi coloured jelly with a face. No arms, no legs, just a giant semi solid blob. How can it drive?! How are supposed to convince someone to buy a car if it [[can't drive?!]] Hold on, maybe things aren't too bad maybe it can drive somehow. Even if he can't he came to the car shop for a reason, to buy a car, so you [[should be fine]] He comes up to you. [[Hello sir, how can I help you]] "Well you can try convince me on why I should buy a car" [[huh?]] "You heard me, one of your co workers rang me and tried to convince me to buy a car, I refused, obviously, but he was such a good talker that he actually convinced me to come in and that I would be convinced to buy a car, he [[guaranteed]] it!" "Now I've walked all the way up from my home, which was a 30 minute walk by the way because I missed my train. It was raining so raindrops got mixed with all my gloopiness and now I'm pissed because I'm not being convinced into buying a car like [[promised]]" Fuck Badal. When you are booked for a customer it is very important because you can only have a maximum amount of booked customers a week so a booked customer is a big deal. "Well?!" the giant goop demands. [[convince]] [[Apologise and give up]] [[Tell him to wait, Fetch Badal]] [[Are there any reasons]] why you would want to purchase a car? "Absoloutely ridiculous! I came all the way up here through the pouring rain, DRENCHED! And what do I get in return!? Nothing! Even though I was convinced by you people I'd be guaranteed to be convinced in buying a car! I'm going to tell everyone I know to NEVER COME TO THIS PLACE IN THEIR LIVES!!!" Before you can say anything he storms off leaving a small goop trail behind him. [[Sigh]] "Alright, but you better hurry. I already spent a lot of time to come here and I don't want to waste much time" You knock on [[Margarrett's door]] to fetch Badal. Margarrett answers the door. "What do you want? I'm in a meeting with Badal" [[Could I please contact Badal]] [[I'm sorry for interrupting I'll leave now]] She gives you a little glare. "Is it urgent" [[Yes it is]] [[Not really]] "Right, okay". She closes the door. Guess you have no choice now but to go back and try [[convince]] the customer. Or maybe you can try [[knock again]]. She makes a [["hmm"]] sound. "If it's not urgent, then it's not my problem" She closes the door. Guess you have no choice now but to go back and try [[convince]] the customer. Or maybe you can try [[knock again]]. "Badal" she calls, "Rick wants to talk with you". Badal arrives at the door. Margarrett looks at Badal. "5 minutes" she says bluntly. Then walks away. "What do you want?" Badal says sounding irritated. [[WHAT THE HELL!]] [[Sorry, just the customer is hard to deal with]] [[Why did you set me up with a ridiculously dificult customer?]] "Whoa, whoa, calm down there. That's no way for a car salesman to act, what's the problem" [[Sorry, just the customer is hard to deal with]] [[Why did you set me up with a ridiculously dificult customer?]] "Ah I see. He sounded pretty convinced when I was talking to him on the phone, sorry thought he would be easy to handle haha." [[Why did you promise him he would be convinced to buy a car when here?]] [[could you help me?]] "Hmm, well I didn't find him too tricky too deal with" [[Why did you promise him he would be convinced to buy a car when here?]] [[could you help me?]] "Well I thought I could trust you in selling him the car. You and I are the best salesmen in this shop after all" [[He can't drive]] [[Thank you]] "Oh sorry man that is no can do, you see I've been planning this meeting with Margarrett for a week now and if I were to bail now it would be a very rude thing to do. Also I trust you with this customer, I know your ... good, at your job" [[Thank you]] [[Would you be able to delay the meeting by any chance]] "Sure that might be a bit of a problem but if you can pull off getting selling a car to him you will prove how good of a car salesman you really are" He pats your shoulder. For some reason you feel an urge of satisfaction with his answer and you feel ready to go back to the [[customer]] and convince him. What is this strange urge?" "NO" [[how about getting to your destinations with ease]] just [[Apologise and give up]] "Ah it's no problem, I always knew that great car salesmen like us would always be able to handle any kind of impossible task. That's why I trust you on this." For some reason you feel an urge of satisfaction with his answer and you feel ready to go back to the [[customer]] and convince him. What is this strange urge?" You hear a growl behind the door. Like a really vicious, angry growl. Best you just leave and [[convince]] the customer "And mess around Margarrett's time schedule. Of course not, I would never do anything like that to Margarrett and I hope you don't do things like that to Margarrett too. Here listen, stop overthinking the situation" He puts his hand on your shoulder "I know this may be a tough sell but I know you can do something like this, I mean most of the car salesmen here are, no offense, kinda shit but you, your not kinda shit" For some reason you feel an urge of satisfaction with his answer and you feel ready to go back to the [[customer]] and convince him. What is this strange urge?" Badal pats you on the shoulder wishing you his luck and you return back to the customer to try and [[convince]] him. He looks at you impatiently awaiting a response "Well does it look I can drive!?" [[No]] [[Yes]] [[I'm unsure]] "Exactly, Of course I can't" [[Maybe you could get someone to drive for you]] "Are you serious? I have blobs for hands, BLOBS FOR HANDS, OF COURSE I CAN'T" [[Maybe you could get someone to drive for you]] "Are you having a laugh...I HAVE BLOBS FOR HANDS!" [[Maybe you could get someone to drive for you]] "So along with paying for a car I'd have to pay for a driver aswell" [[How about a family member, they could do it]] [[Ah I know there are a few cheap ones around]] I have no family, well I had a wife but she ain't around anymore [[I'm sorry to hear about that]] [[How about you get the car for a friend, it could be a gift in a sense]] He tries to facepalm with his blob hands. If you continue like this he's gonna leave. [[Apologise and give up]] [[How about a family member, they could do it]] "Ah don't worry I've gotten over it now. After the accident we all gained powers. Mine was to become a giant pile of goop, hers was to explode any time she sneezed. We found that out when, you know, she sneezed" [[I am sorry to have brought up the subject]] "Would be one hell of an expensive gift alright." [[Apologise and give up]] [[You could share the vehicle]] "No, no it's not your fault at all, you just asked a few simple questions, I expanded on it. Anyways where were we" [[How about you get the car for a friend, it could be a gift in a sense]] "Still one hell of an expensive gift, I don't think any friend would be deserving of that much, maybe not even Breadcuttter Steve" [[Breadcutter Steve?]] "Yeah he helped me after rough times when my wife left me. Steve was there to help me and made bread for me every morning to try cheer me up" [[Wow, what a great guy. Do you still meetup with him?]] [[What a cool guy, why is he called "Breadcutter Steve"]] "Yeah, I'm actually sharing an apartment with him, he lives upstairs and I live downstairs" [[A car could be very handy for you two then]] [[Does he do any travelling himself?]] "Hmm yeah, still a bit expensive for a gift though" [[You could split the price]] [[How much money would all that bread he made for you cost?]] "Yeah we usually have a 50 minute walk down to where we work every morning. Our work places are right beside each other" [[A car could be very handy for you two then]] "Hmm, maybe so, I'll give him a ring now" You hear his body sloshing and a phone protrudes out his jelly face. You do not know want to know how that works. [[Wait patiently]] He looks at you normally for a second and then a sudden expression of shock appears on his face. "My god" he says. "That bread would of cost him 5 dollars a day if he sold it his bakery. That's a year and half of bread, everyday, two peces of bread for Christmas aswell. Oh lord that means 5 multiplied by 540-ish. Jaysus I owe him more than 2500 dollars!" [[Damn]] He begins dialling the phone with his face. "Just hold on a sec" [[Wait more]] "Ah yeah, Steve? Steve? How are ya? Yeah listen I got somethin to tell ya, wait hold on I'm gonna find a more place to talk to ya, kinda feel nervous talking in front of this guy in front of me" He slithers to the other end of the room. After 15 minutes of nodding up and down he [[returns]] to you "Well, Steve is interested and so am I. I'm tired of getting rain stuck in my gloop and I want to go to my workplace with shelter from now on. It'll also be real convenient for him aswell" [[Brilliant!]] "Wait no, he made me his fanciest bread, which cost 10 dollars, not five! So I owe him like over 5000 dollars!" [[That's actually the price of the car]] "What really?" [[Well you do have to pay us 350 a month for 2 years]] "You know what, I'll buy this car!" [[What, really?]] [[Oh, um, that's great news!]] "He lost money for that bread everyday, not expecting me to ever pay him back, but he kept doing it, due to the kindness of his heart. This is something I could do to return that kindness. Not just to return the amount of cash I owe him. I know giving him 5000 dollars back would already be enough kindness but I feel like I owe him more for getting me out of those dark times in my life" [[Brilliant!]] "He lost money for that bread everyday, not expecting me to ever pay him back, but he kept doing it, due to the kindness of his heart. This is something I could do to return that kindness. Not just to return the amount of cash I owe him. I know giving him 5000 dollars back would already be enough kindness but I feel like I owe him more for getting me out of those dark times in my life" [[Brilliant!]] "Just one thing!" [[What would it be sir?]] "It's time for you to do your main job as a car salesman, what makes this car different from any other?" [[It's the only car to have spill resistant coated seats, brilliant for your goop]] [[Have a look for yourself]] "Oh what, seriously! Amazing! That was one thing I completely forgot about, yeah, yeah I'll get this one. I probably should look at the other cars but I'm just too excited after hearing that. I'll take it!" [[Pleasure doing business with you]] "Alrighty" He looks inside the car. "A nice five seater, great for guests, this cup holder looks nice, I like that radio, it looks really..." Something catches his attention "Hold on a second my gloop isn't sticking to the seats, what, what is this?" [[It's the only car to have spill resistant coated seats, brilliant for your goop]] "No pleasure doing business with you! I was not expecting that services here would be this good. I'm reccomending this place to all the people I know!" As you go through the payment process you notice Badal looking at you from Margarrett's office window. An expression of shock and disgust is shown by his facial features. When he spots you noticing him he stops and turns around as if he didn't see anything. [[That oughta show him]] You return home after a day of hard work. You can't believe you actually sold a car to a blob that can't drive and that you sold it that easily aswell. [[TUESDAY]] "He has giant bread knifes for hands. The breadknive hands can also vibrate to create a chainsaw like effect. The government wanted him to work as a hero but he didn't want to cause harm to anyone with his chainsaw like hands so instead he uses them to cut bread in a bakery he set up. He even sometimes makes bread for the kids around the street. [[Wow, what a great guy. Do you still meetup with him?]] You notice Badal looking at you from Margarrett's window. A cheeky 'I knew it' style of smile lays upon his face. He realises you've spotted him and he quickly changes his facial expression and pretends that he wasn't doing anything. [[I hope I get that promotion]] The day ends and you leave work feeling defeated. Today may have gone down not so well but you still got tommorow to make things better. [[TUESDAY]] Your sprinting to your train huffing and puffing like crazy. If you miss this train you'll be half an hour late to work and Margarrett [[wouldn't be too happy]] with that now. You jump between the closing doors of the train carriage just making it [[well that felt dramatic]] You wipe the sweat off your forehead and manage to catch your [[breath]]. As you do catch your breath you notice someone opposite to you, [[crying]]. You two are the only ones standing in the train everyone else is sitting down taking up all the seats Her face looks emotionless and normal yet tears are dripping out of her eyes at a very fast rate. [[Ignore]] [[Ask if she's alright]] Twenty minutes later and you are halfway to your destination. You notice however the woman is still crying. She seems to be reading a book as she crying. A puddle has now formed by her feet created by her tears. [[Ignore some more]] [[Ask if she's alright]] She sighs. "This again" she says to herself [[Oh sorry, I didn't mean to annoy you]] [[What?]] Ten minutes later. Alright your almost there at your destination, just another ten minutes. The train makes a sharp turn. The puddle of water flows to your side of the train and dampens your shoes, you can hear the pitter patter of tears hitting the pool of water which has now expanded some more. Everyone else is not noticing the problem with their earphones in and faces in their phones. [[Ignore till you reach your destination]] [[Ask if she's alright]] Finally your train arrives at it's destination. The doors slide open and some water slowly pours out of the carriage. As you leave you see someone who asks if the young lady is alright. The door closes. [[Keep looking]] [[Go to work]] You keep looking even though you can't hear anything. The woman starts talking and then the man nods in understandment. He then says something with a very cheeky smile on his face. The train starts to move away [[continue looking]] [[Go to work]] You walk into work greeted by the lovely Samantha along the way. As you enter your work place you see that a man is standing by your desk. A possible [[eager customer]] She looks angry, she says something but the man continues to talk. Suddenly a very strong spray of water bursts from her eyes hiting the man in the face, he falls to the floor and she continues to spray him down with this powerful surge of water. Jesus, what was going on there. [[Go to work]] "Everyone's got powers right, mine is to emit water, sadly I can't control it. I got to choose somewhere to emit water, if it's my ears, mouth or nostrils it'll just look weird" [[What about if you just sweat it out]] [[Oh alright sorry for bothering you]] "Everyone's got powers right, mine is to emit water, sadly I can't control it. I got to choose somewhere to emit water, if it's my ears, mouth or nostrils it'll just look weird" [[What about if you just sweat it out]] [[Oh alright sorry for bothering you]] "Well I want to keep my clothes dry right? If I sweat it off then I'm going to look like I've just run 100 miles constantly. Here anyways it doesn't matter just please leave me be and let me live my life. I bump into this problem like twice a day" [[Oh alright sorry for bothering you]] [[No need to so rude]] You return to your part of the train. You continue to hear the pitter patter of her tears hitting the floor. [[Ignore till you reach your destination]] "Here listen, punk. Yeah I know used the word punk, I know that just comes off as cheesy and not threatening but whatever. You don't have to deal with this kinda problem everyday. One where you get mocked for having a power you don't want so if you would mind leaving me alone, IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED" [[Oh alright sorry for bothering you]] [[leave]] [[I don't even have a power]] You return to your part of the train, leaving her without saying a word. You continue to hear the pitter patter of her tears hitting the floor. [[Ignore till you reach your destination]] "Here stop messing around everyone has a power" [[Tell her your serious]] "Oh" She stops for a second. "I'm, er, sorry to hear that. Powers now dominate people's egos so I'm sorry to hear you don't even have one. Sorry I'm probably making you sad I, em, was probably very rude to you earlier" [[Don't worry about it]] [[Yes you were]] [[How did you know I was telling the truth]] "Oh but like I shouldn't have been so narky with you still. Like there was no need for me to pull off a tantrum like that. I've just been, going through some hard times you know haha" [[How did you know I was telling the truth]] [[Hard times?]] "Yeeaah, I'm sorry that was a little too far from me. I'm sorry" [[How did you know I was telling the truth]] [[leave]] "I could tell by your eyes. I used to be a psychiatrist before all this but now no one takes me seriously because of my constant crying. It's quite the bummer" [[You could always get a new job]] "Yeah, just job searching you know. Used to be a psychiatrist before all this but now no one takes me seriously because of my constant crying. It's quite the bummer" [[You could always get a new job]] "Let me guess as a 'hero'?" [[Yes.]] [[No.]] "Oh, you suprised me then. Everyone keeps pushing me to become a hero, they say water powers are so cool and that I could 'stop fires and blast enemies with water and all'. I don't want to live like that but they say I shouldn't let my powers go to waste, as if that's all I care about" [[How about becoming a gardener]] [[I was only joking you should totally be a hero]] "*Sigh* You see that's what everyone reccomends me to work as, 'a hero,. But I don't want to live like that. I just want to live like I used to. But everyone is just so pushy with the power thing, they're like 'Oh but water powers are so cool, you could stop fires and blast enemies with water and all'. I don't want that. I just want to be able to live a normal life" [[Oh but it's so cool, you should be a hero]] [[How about becoming a gardener]] She smiles and nods her head sideways. "I appreciate your help I really do but I think I'm fine. How about we talk about something else" [[talk about other stuff]] [[How about becoming a gardener]] Her face becomes still for a moment. As if she just realised something. Then she snaps back to reality "Sorry about that haha just remembered that my father used to be a garderner before he passed, it's something I always loved as a kid. That's, that's not a bad idea you have. But do you think anyone will take me seriously while I cry during the interview" [[You can feed the plants with your water emitting ability]] [[No I don't think so]] You chat about random things about life. You know the usual conversation stuff and then reach your destination. You both wish each other a goodbye and then you leave the train. Alright time to go to work. [[Go to work]] "Haha are you messing with me or being serious" [[joking]] [[serious]] "Haha oh I'm so tired of people pushing the hero thing on me. It's nice to have a laugh about it haha" A smile spreads across her face. [[How about becoming a gardener]] "Oh.." She smiles and nods her head sideways. "I appreciate your help I really do but I think I'm fine. How about we talk about something else" [[talk about other stuff]] [[How about becoming a gardener]] "Ah don't be ridi... wait but it's not a bad point you have. I'd provide an endless amount of water for other gardeners" [[You'd be a great asset to have]] "Hmm yeah that part will be hard but maybe I can get past that part, maybe I can show them what I truly am capable of" [[You can feed the plants with your water emitting ability]] [[Ah I'd say go for another job though]] She doesn't answer for a few seconds. "You know what, it may sound ridiculous but I might give it a try. I think I'm gonna end this period of unemloyment and try get a job as a gardener. I'm sick of being forced down a path I don't want to take just because of society's way of treating people with handy powers." She looks you in the eye with a grin. "Thanks" [[It's no problem]] Her face has definetely changed expression. A look of hope and joy has appeared on her face and you wonder if the tears running down her cheeks are due to her power, or something else. [[Oh geez I love a happy ending]] "Hmm, maybe, maybe your right. There are plenty of jobs out there that I can go for. At least your not suggesting the usual hero job anyways. Thank you for that. Thank you for treating me like a normal human being" [[talk about other stuff]] Well your story ain't over yet. You reach your destination after a period of time. As you get off you turn around to the woman and wave her a goodbye. She waves back with a smile. Maybe you will see her again, someday. [[Go to work]] He for some reason has a weird rectangular afro and is wearing sunglasses, indoors. "Ayyeee, what's up my man. My name's Peter Vince but I like to be called by my hero name, the Dismantler" [[Hello]] "I was just wondering if I'd be able to organise a meeting with one of you salesmen to discuss business when it comes to buying a car, you see" [[Sure that's no problem]] "Cool you see the thing is.." he doesn't realise him placing his hand on your desk. Suddenly your desk falls apart into pieces. He puts his hands over his mouth. "I am so sorry" [[What the hell]] [[What power is that]] "I can explain, I've basically gained the power to, dismantle things. At first it was just electronics but now it's gotten what some people like to call 'worse' in which I can dismantle more things, like your desk for example. Soz" [[Why don't you call that worse]] [[Ah I see]] "Well you see, I've basically gained the power to, dismantle things. At first it was just electronics but now it's gotten what some people like to call 'worse' in which I can dismantle more things, like your desk for example. Soz" [[Why don't you call that worse]] [[Ah I see]] "Well I've become a better hero because of that, now I can dismantle more objects the enemy's are using such as guns, grenades and ... [[cars]]." "Aaaand that brings me to my next point. My point about buying [[cars]]" "Ya see I've been rejected from most car salesmen when it comes to me trying to purchase a car because well first of all I ya know maaay dismantle the car while driving so I always request if I can try drive them before buying them which they always say no to which is annoying. Like there is a chance I may not dismantle the car because there are some objects that I can't dismantle" [[Do you not know what those objects are?]] [[Do you really need to test the cars before trying them]] "For some reason, the type of material doesn't affect the power, it's completely random, like if there were 2 brick walls of the same type there is a chance my touch will have an effect on one of them but not on the other" [[How does that even work]] "No idea, it's kinda funny, you know, like haha the 'I don't know my own power to dismantle material itself haha'" [[Do you really need to test the cars before trying them]] "Yes" [[But you may dismantle them]] "But I might not like" [[That would be thousands of dollars]] "I know but like how am I going to find out" [[But you would have to pay for damages]] "What, that's not right, like that's discriminating my power. Am I not able to drive now is that it!" Before you can speak a word he puts his hand to your face. "Listen I don't wanna hear a word just book me with a car salesman and I'll talk to them at that scheduled time when I'm ready, it can be you, it can be someone else, I don't care I'll be ready at that stage". You sigh and go to the [[booking sheet]] This is gonna be a tough sell, like holy hell. You look at the booking sheet. You've been fully booked up this week and you do not want to book this meeting for any other car salesman like that would just be cruel, that would be...Your thoughts are interrupted as you notice Badal is not fully booked for the week. But wasn't he supposed to booked for the week? He is free for tommorow. [[Book yourself this carsale next week]] [[Book Badal this carsale tommorow]] [[Book this car sale on another poor car salesman]] You are about to mark yourself in when suddenly a hand grips your wrist and prevents you from doing so. It's Margarrett. She marks the sale meeting in for Badal. "If we mark him in for it tommorow we can save more time don't yout think" [[Wait hold on Margarrett]] This should be interesting. "Good work" says a voice from behind you. You turn around to see Margarrett standing there. "We need to be efficient with our time schedules right now, we need to fit in as many bookings as possible this week, so booking Badal in for a week is a good idea" She leaves without saying a word. [[Just another unexpected checkup by Margarrett]] You are about to mark someone in when suddenly a hand grips your wrist and prevents you from doing so. It's Margarrett. She marks the sale meeting in for Badal. "I overheard what this customer is expecting do you honestly expect one of the other employees to be able to handle that." [[Wait hold on Margarrett]] "Look I'll tell him I marked him in for this booking not you alright, you'll be fine. We need to be efficient with our time schedules right now, we need to fit in as many bookings as possible this week" Without you even being able to speak a word she leaves. [[Just another unexpected checkup by Margarrett]] An hour later and one of your booked customers [[arrives into the shop.]] You walk outside into the fresh morning air. Ah Thursdays, they're great. They are the days you are signed in for work an hour later than usual so you get to fit in that extra hour of sleep. [[Lovely]] You do the normal routine your used to by now, getting on the train and getting off for work, except with no bizzare interruptions this time. You go to work to see Badal waving at someone in the distance. [[Ask Badal who is he waving at]] [[Ignore and say hi to Samantha]] "Why..er..hey Rick, how are you doing" [[I'm doing great. Was just wondering who Badal is waving at?]] "Oh he's waving to that guy what's he called, the misfunctioner. He managed to sell a car to him" [[wait what?!]] [[were any cars damaged during the process by any chance?]] "Yeah I know right, looked like a really tough sell. But he managed to like sell it to him in 2 minutes it's crazy how..." she is once again interrupted by Margarrett who shouts, "Rick". Samantha looks over towards Margarrett's office and [[back at you]] "Hmm, no not at all, Badal just managed to talk the customer straight into the purchase, it was crazy, he ...." she is once again interrupted by Margarrett who shouts, "Rick". Samantha looks over towards Margarrett's office and [[back at you]] "I'm guessing she wants you" she says. [[Head to and enter Margarrett's office]] "Just that customer who was booked for me, the misfunctioner of whatever his name was. Pretty stubborn guy I gotta say but I knew my way how to talk to him" [[wow, impressive sale man]] [[Were any cars damaged during the process]] "Ah you know, just a matter of using the right communication skills. If you don't use the right skills you'll end up..." he is interrupted by Margarrett who shouts, "Rick". "You should probably see what's up" [[Head to and enter Margarrett's office]] "What,no. No cars were damaged. I made sure he didn't test drive before buying any cars" [[How did you do that?]] [[wow, impressive sale man]] "Ah you know, just a matter of using the right communication skills. If you don't use the right skills you'll end up..." he is interrupted by Margarrett who shouts, "Rick". "You should probably see what's up" [[Head to and enter Margarrett's office]] You enter Margarrett's office. She looks up at you from her desk. "Rick, have a seat" [[Sit down]] A man enters the room. He is wearing a cap, backwards along with a roundneck jumper, tracksuit bottoms and shoes with no shoelaces or straps. He comes up to you [[Hi]] "Bye, would you like to buy a car" [[Sorry sir, what?]] [[Sorry sir, but I'm afraid I'm the one selling a car]] "Ah I'm not sorry I explained this to you. I don't speak a few words in reverse and my mind doesn't work in a reverse style of motion. It's a normal power ain't it" [[Yeah]] [[No,]] "Ah I'm not sorry I explained this to you. I don't speak a few words in reverse and my mind doesn't work in a reverse style of motion. It's a normal power ain't it" [[Yeah]] [[No,]] "Also, remembered to say that my mind doesn't receive messages in reverse. So no means yeah" [[Ohh ok so would you like to buy a car]] [[Huh so you wouldn't like to buy a car]] "Also, remembered to say that my mind doesn't receive messages in reverse. So yeah means no" [[Ohh ok so would you like to buy a car]] [[Huh so you wouldn't like to buy a car]] "Yes, you understand me now so I would like to buy one" [[Great I'll show you the selection of cars now]] [[Will I not show you the selection of cars?]] "No" [[Do you not have a car in mind]] "Can't I just not ask about the car I don't want" [[Do you not have a car in mind]] "No, looking for something which isn't a truck" [[Could you stay silent about that madam?]] [[Could you expand on that please sir]] "I'm healthy of this empty toilet!" he shouts and leaves. [[What was all that about]] [[I'm sick of this shit]] Your mind can hardly [[keep up]] with whats going on. That is one confusing power he's got. Enough of this confusing stuff, your mind can hardly [[keep up]] with all this understandably. "No, it's old, very small, not made by Nissan, didn't see it on the TV and said to myself 'wow that looks shit! I feel sorry for anyone who has to stand in that thing, I would refuse to let my family in that thing!" [[I am so angry you said that, we don't have that kind of low-class vehicle in our shop]] [[Oh we have that in stock]] "How kind" [[Oh thank you sir]] [[I probably seem so clever to you, I said that on purpose I'm doing my job so correctly today]] "Shit, that's awful to hear. I wasn't looking around to try find something like this. I won't take it. You would think I would't buy a vehicle this slowly but I won't. I won't buy this shit! Ugh I'm not sorry I'm just so angry, oh Fuck you" [[Yes, Fuck you]] [[Thanks!]] "Oh what a treat. Guess I won't have to look for other places. I knew this place would be the place" [[Oh thank you sir]] [[we actually don't have it and I'm not sorry]] His smile becomes bigger and he shakes your hand. [[Finish up with the payment process]] His smile snaps out of it's curvy shape into a straight line and he gives you a glare [[I'm not sorry Fuck you. I'm not gonna get confused anymore]] [[Oh sorry I didn't mean to offend you]] He nods his head in understandment "Oh I don't get it, worry, it's not fine" [[Finish up with the payment process]] He gives you his credit card "Well that was kind of you, I thought you were a mean enough guy but now I know how truly kind you are" [[Finish up with the payment process]] Well that was .. confusing. After your customer leaves Badal approaches. "I saw how that went, not too shabby I guess" he says admittingly. [[Fuck you]] [[thanks man]] His face goes red. "Thank you, treating me like that makes me delighted how can you be so nice to your customers. Thank you!" He storms off. [[What was all that about]] "Worry, your still doing a shit job" [[Fuck you I'm not sorry for what I'm not doing]] "So do you want me to talk about what I don't want?" [[Could you stay silent about that madam?]] "Ohhh I don't understand, it's not ok" [[I'm not sorry I didn't slip up earlier]] "I would not pay immediate money for it because I don't want it that badly because that car is of such low quality and it would be quite dissapointing for this shop to have it" [[I am so angry you said that, we don't have that kind of low-class vehicle in our shop]] Anyways the day has finally come to an end. Exhausted, you return home, in need of sleep. You wonder what will happen to Badal tommorow once he's put up with that impossible challenge but it get's you [[excited]] for tommorow [[THURSDAY]] He gives you a strange look with a confused smile and walks away slowly. [[oops]] "Make sure to [[keep up]]" he says winking. As he walks away he mutters something under his breath My brain can hardly [[keep up]] with all this reverse, non reverse shit "Would you like a sweet?" She hands you a bowl of sweets [[Yes please]] [[No thanks]] [[What's going on]] You unwrap the sweet from its wrapper and pop the chewy toffee into your mouth. "Rick I'm not going to diddle daddle with you any longer, I think it's time for me to tell you about [[What's going on]]" "Alright then" She puts the bowl down. "Rick I'm not going to diddle daddle with you any longer, I think it's time for me to tell you about [[What's going on]]" She rubs her chin. "Well getting straight to the point I would like to inform you with great news that Badal has now earned the title of head car salesman" [[Oh that's great news]] [[How's that great news]] [[Ah understood]] Her face uplifts a bit. "That's good to hear. You will be working alongside Badal and I believe the two of you working [[together]] would lead to great success for this establishment" "Well I can understand that you may be ... upset about not getting that promotion but I believe that opportunities can always arrive in the future, sometime. I also believe that if you and Badal work [[together]] you will bring great success to this establishment" "I just wanted to let you know, to prevent you from wondering. You will be working alongside Badal and I believe the two of you working [[together]] would lead to great success for this establishment" That word makes your skin crawl. "Later there will be a meeting down in the kitchen to kitchen with some drinks and snacks if your interested in coming along. [[Sure]] [[I'll have to see how my time schedule works out]] [[No thanks.]] [[Badal has put me in bad positions to get this promotion]] "That's good to hear, we look forward to your arrival". She returns to reading her papers on her desk [[Exit the room]] "Alright that's understandable, we hope to see you there" She returns to reading the papers on her desk [[Exit the room]] "Alright, do as you please" she says. She then returns to her papers [[Exit the room]] "Please Rick, don't mention anything like that. Anymore of that and I may suspend you for the day" [[Apologise]] [[Leave the room]] [[That's not fair]] [[But he set me up with very difficult meetups to purposely put me in a bad situation]] You enter the corridor [[Well that was shite]] She looks at you and says "Don't worry about it just please don't take the current situation to heart" [[Leave the room]] You enter the corridor. [[Well that was shite]] "Life ain't fair, I'm your boss, I give the orders, deal with it" [[Apologise and leave]] [[Leave the room]] [[But he set me up with very difficult meetups to purposely put me in a bad situation]] Her fist slams the table. "One more word from you and your suspended for the day" [[Apologise and leave]] [[Leave the room]] [[Give further proof as to why you think Badal shouldn't be promoted]] She doesn't respond and ignores you. You leave the room [[Well that was shite]] She stands up. "That's it I warned you. Suspended. Your suspended for the day, not to work here for the day" [[Leave the room]] [[Apologise and leave]] [[Screw you]] "Now your just making a jackass of yourself, make yourself usefull and leave" [[Apologise and leave]] [[Leave the room]] You know what would be great now, a walk, sure your not booked in for any meetings in the next hour and people go on breaks like this all the time during work, why not go on one yourself. You see Badal walking down the corridor with the biggest grin on his face, he hasn't spotted you yet. [[Face Badal]] [[Go for a walk]] Nope, nope. Yep I'm back, the narrator and I'm here to tell you that you ARE NOT choosing that path, I was sooo not in the mood of dealing with that guy and even imagining how it would turn out hurts my brain, no, NO [[Go for a walk]] [[But isn't this a choice based game?]] Fresh air, fresh air and the sound of, cars, everywhere. God you work in a busy part of town. Your a bit tired of cars, how about somewhere a bit more [[quiet.]] I don't care, I don't ... wait why am I even putting this option in. Ah what's done is done but yeah NO, I'm not giving you the option to that this time sorry [[Go for a walk]] -option REMOVED- The park is always a nice place you always love to visit. Brilliant for when you need to go for a reflective stroll. [[This is nice]] Just don't think of the bad things. [[I wonder if Rick and Morty is on tonight]] [[I wonder how Samantha is doing]] [[How could Badal get that promotion]] Don't think of bad thoughts. [[Holy moly, myself and Rick have the same names, why am I telling myself something I already knew?]] [[I worked so hard to try get that promotion]] [[How could Badal get that promotion]] Don't think of bad thoughts. [[Holy moly, myself and Rick have the same names, why am I telling myself something I already knew?]] [[I worked so hard to try get that promotion]] [[How could Badal get that promotion]] In fairness he is a mind reader so I guess that's one reason but still, after he cheated me and everything, ugh [[Maybe this will all turn around]] Don't think of bad thoughts. [[It's cuz of this no super power thing, Badal gets great advantage with his powers while I have none]] [[I worked so hard to try get that promotion]] [[How could Badal get that promotion]] the song "In the End" by Linkin Park plays over in your head. [[Maybe this will all turn around]] It's unfair. Why must you be the odd one out why do you gotta be the only without powers [[Maybe this will all turn around]] This seems to be the dipping point in the plot, where you've hit rock bottom. Maybe this story plot has a certain structure to it ya know, like a fabula structure or something. Maybe it's the classic "man in hole" or "Cinderella" structure ya know. [[What are you on about]] [[You better not be tricking me]] [[Will you stop talking to me narrator!]] You know, like how they have in many movies, shows, games, books. The protagonist is on a journey in which things are doing progressively well for them until something near the end hits em like a brick and they face an immediate problem where things go downhill but then things go 'uphill?(don't know if people say that) and turns out with a happy ending. Yeah. That thing, maybe that'll happen. [[I hope so]] [[You better not be tricking me]] Why would I ... A giant scream comes from your right [[Here it comes]] Geez it seems like your more emotionally invested right now than I was at that time, jeez, or are you just emotional because your pissed off at me being annoying [[Your being annoying!]] [[A mix of both]] [[I'm emotionally invested and don't wanna be disturbed]] Alright then I see how it is fine then I'll shut up then alright my mouth's being zipped up in 3, 2, 1, [[0]] Ah alright it's nice to see the story have some impact on you but it's also not nice to see that you are annoyed at me, for understandable reasons. Guess you could say I have mixed emotions feelings too. [[Let me continue with the story please]] [[Let's just resolve this argument with a truce]] Aw shucks, you got me. I can't believe my life story is impacting you this much. [[Ok now your ruining it]] [[Let me continue with the story please]] Alright jeez sorry I didn't mean to annoy you ok. Anyways your walking through this park [[thinking]] Ahem, of course sorry sorry so anyways your walking through this park [[thinking]] Your train of thought is interrupted by a scream from your right [[what was that?!]] [[.]] Well I technically can't narrate your story if I don't say anything [[You know what I mean]] Sorry, yes I do of course. Anyways I just made this a little awkward. Your walking through the forest [[thinking]] Alright cool, I'll take that. Sorry I'd say you may have wanted a 'argue that I'm right' option but since I'm the narrator I can control the argument so yeah. You only got MY options to choose. Alright I feel bad now [[You should]] [[Let me continue with the story please]] [[I forgive you]] [[Don't worry I like this truce]] Ooh, sorry here I'll just put this option here to continue with the game - [[Let me continue with the story please]] Oh cool, your so cool, oh why did I ever have my doubts about you, you awesome player. Here, here is the option to progress, just like click it - [[Let me continue with the story please]] That is very cool and noble of you. You are a cool person. Here, here's the option to progress the game - [[Let me continue with the story please]] I know so, you'll be ... A giant scream comes from your right [[Here it comes]] You hear a bit of maniacal laughing aswell. Also [[what was that?!]] In the distance you see a man wearing a black cape carrying a child over his shoulder. He's laughing and his parents both seem helpless laying on the ground with their hands outstretched towards the man [[Interfere]] [[Leave them alone]] You run towards the villain try help out the parents but then suddenly a man sprints sprints towards the evil looking guy. He has incredibly muscular arms, like unnaturally muscular arms, like that doesn't look normal. Hs biceps are almost larger than the height of the young child which the villain is carrying which may make it easier to [[understand]] Ah some hero will probably help them out. A man sprints suddenly sprints towards the evil looking guy. He has incredibly muscular arms, like unnaturally muscular arms, like that doesn't look normal. Hs biceps are almost larger than the height of the young child which the villain is carrying which may make it easier to [[understand]] It just looks odd, he moves his arms normally despise their size however as he charges towards the villain. A laugh erupts from the villain as he clicks his fingers and a bubble like field surrounds the area catching the ridiculously ripped hero. The hero [[stops]] To realise his arms aren't absoloutely shredded anymore. He's lost his powers. "Try fight me now powerless" the man beckons and then laughs. This guy is trying so hard to be your stereotypical villain. He's got his hair waxed into such a weird style that the only way to describe it is that his head has the similar shape of [[brocoli]]. That's off topic anyways, the hero, is now on the ground, hands gripping the grass as his ego is shattered into oblivion. Powers affect your your emotions and if messed with they will return some negative feels. 3 more heroes rush to the scene [[Walk towards this villain like character]] [[stay where you are]] You walk towards the villain. He doesn't recognise you yet as 3 heroes fall to their knees in front of him, plagued with shame [[continue walking]] The 3 heroes share the same fate as the previous hero, falling to their knees in shame. The parents thought they were lucky to have a bunch of heroes luckily available at this time in this place for their rescue but no [[they weren't]] They probably tried to save their child aswell but probably shared the same fate as the heroes. There's one thing everyone is forgetting about though, just one thing, [[one small thing]] The villain guy is completely defenceless! He has no weapons on him or anything, everyone think they are helpless without their powers but this guy is just a normal man, with the power to take away powers, [[but still]] Lost in your train of thought you realise that the villain like character is right in front of you, he was sprinting towards your direction and didn't realise you were there. But now he notices you and clicks his fingers and you get trapped by the bubble...which does nothing. "Haha, fall to your knees, IN SHAME!mwahaha" Jesus this guy is cheesy. [[punch him in the face]] [[tell him to shut up]] He drops the kid who lands safely, who sprints back to his parents. "Ow, what the hell!?" the villain stammers. Oh crap your gonna have to possibly say some hero shit, that's not what your exactly into. [[You should, like, stop with all the crime ya know]] [[that's for being evil]] "What...no" [[that's for being evil]] [[You should, like, stop with all the crime ya know]] "Here listen I have to make a living somehow and this is where it's at. I don't even have to kill people using this power" [[Why can't you try out another job]] "Here listen I have to make a living somehow and this is where it's at. I don't even have to kill people using this power" [[Why can't you try out another job]] "Pfft, as if people will accept me after what I've done" [[What have you done?]] "Well, there's this and em, ehhhhhh. Yeah just this, I just started the villain life today" [[Your fine, I think you can manage to get a job]] [[Yeah I guess you must pay for this first but then you can get a job]] "Really, well, you see I want an action packed job you know, one which gets the blood flowing and not a job as an ego crazy hero. No thank you" [[How about a guard of some sort, like a prison guard or a night watchman in a mall or something]] "So like a bitta prison and shit?" [[nah just a moral lesson to remember]] [[just a bit of prison]] "Hmm yeah maybe I can turn a new leaf and live with that reminder in my head" [[Exactly]] "Oh man" He sighs. "If it's just A BIT of prison I guess it's not too bad" [[Just a bit]] [[Maybe a bit more]] "You know what doesn't sound bad" [[That's good to hear]] [[Now help those people you terrorized]] "Thank you for this your really helped clear up my .." He kicks you in the chest "HAHA gotcha did you REALLY think I would just immediately become a good guy after that of course not! and guess what I [[got...]]" "Yeah I will do...." He kicks you in the chest. "HAHA gotcha did you REALLY think I would just immediately become a good guy after that of course not! and guess what I [[got...]]" He pulls a gun from his jacket "Didn't want to kill anyone but I guess your gonna have to be my first kill or eight, I've actually performed a lot more crime in my life" He's out of your range to attack and only a few thoughts pop in your head for that second [[Fuck]] [[Escape]] [[Beg]] "Na na man it's too late now, its too..." He is punched so hard in the face that he is rendered unconscious. The punch comes from Joey Treyson 'The Truck'. "Too much monologging" he says. You call out his name in joy [[The Truck]] [[Joey!]] "Na na man it's too late now, its too..." He is punched so hard in the face that he is rendered unconscious. The punch comes from Joey Treyson 'The Truck'. "Too much monologging" he says. You call out his name in joy [[The Truck]] [[Joey!]] "Yeah that's right, fool, your ..." He is punched so hard in the face that he is rendered unconscious. The punch comes from Joey Treyson 'The Truck'. "Too much monologging" he says. You call out his name in joy. [[The Truck]] [[Joey!]] "No need to call me by that name Mr Clutch, you can call me Joey." He looks at the villain. "I'll get this guy outta here" [[Thank god you came now and didn't get affected by his powers]] He smiles. "Hello Mr Clutch". looks at the villain. "I'll get this guy outta here" [[Thank god you came now and didn't get affected by his powers]] "Oh no I did get affected by his powers. His bubble field still surrounds us" You notice your still in the bubble. "I just have a strong punch is all, haha. Don't worry I'll only lose my power temporarily this guy's power is temporary" [[Thank you for saving me]] [[You didn't even stop when your power disappeared]] "I know most people let their powers take over their egos but I ain't gonna let that happen to me, not anymore. The amount of trouble I've brought to you, my parents and all the neighbours due to my egotistical ways is not the right path I should take in [[becoming a hero]]" "So, I've learnt to respect and not let those emotions take over me anymore" [[Whoa that's deep]] [[Thank you for saving me]] [[Well done]] He scratches the back of his head "Haha, sorry about all the deep talk Mr.Clutch. I just...it's just that I realised sometimes it's best [[not having a power]]." "It's no problem Mr Clutch. This guy needed a good ol punch to the face anyways haha" He looks at the terrified heroes on laying on the ground worrying about themselves "it's just that I realised sometimes it's best [[not having a power]]." He gets slightly embarrassed, almost looks like he's blushing "Ah, cheers I wouldn't have been able to get past that part of me if it weren't for you guys" He looks at the terrified heroes on laying on the ground worrying about themselves "it's just that I realised sometimes it's best [[not having a power]]." "You don't get absorbed by all this ego. You also may have been given a power you don't want, a power which impacts your life negatively. I was lucky with the one I got but I know others aren't the same" Mr and Mrs Treyson arrive [[to the scene.]] "Whats going on here?" Mr Treyson asks. Mrs Treyson is looking at the parents clutching their child. "It's nothing dad, was just helping a few people we should probably head to grandma's house, We're late by 20 minutes by now" Joey says. "Alrighty, let's just get the bus" Mrs Treyson say "Good idea" answers Joey. Mr Treyson looks towards you "Mr Clutch" he greets with a nod and then heads off [[He's actually getting into a vehicle]] The parent's probably shared the same fate as the heroes, they are even too ashamed to save their own son! The villain spots you "Hey what are you doin" [[keep walking]] He clicks his fingers, but gets no response. "What the...". What people don't realise is that apart from his powers he is defenceless. [[Just a little more]] Your right in front of him now. He gives you a creeped out look. "Here you better listen punk I'm gonna beat you up if you.." [[tell him to shut up]] [[punch him in the face]] "You know what thank you for this your really helped clear up my .." He kicks you in the chest "HAHA gotcha did you REALLY think I would just immediately become a good guy after that of course not! and guess what I [[got...]]" "If its just a bit then it ain't too bad like.." He kicks you in the chest "HAHA gotcha did you REALLY think I would just immediately become a good guy after that of course not! and guess what I [[got...]]" "UUUghhh but that's not fun like. *Sigh* I guess maybe it won't be too bad" He kicks you in the chest "HAHA gotcha did you REALLY think I would just immediately become a good guy after that of course not! and guess what I [[got...]]" [[Ugh]] [[Really don't wanna wake up today]] [[But what choice do you have?]] You go through the usual morning routine of getting to work but one thing is different, very [[different]] indeed Cop cars surround your workplace. Police are discussing with each other. [[Ask a policeman what's going on]] [[Observe for a few more minutes]] "You work here right?" [[Yes I do]] [[No I don't]] Scratch that in just thirty seconds the doors of the car shop swing open as police officers try carry Margarrett down to a [[police truck.]] "Alright don't worry it's not you who's being punished, we are however punishing [[2 employees who work here]]" "Yes you do" The officer pulls his sunglasses to reveal the blue patterned eyes that hide behind them. "My power is that I can see all lies and truths told, very handy for a job like, don't worry you won't get in trouble, we've only got [[2 employees who work here]] to take into custody" "Their names are Badal and Margarrett" [[What why?!]] [[Alright madam]] "False use of powers and deception" [[How?]] The doors of the car shop swing open as police officers try carry Margarrett down to a [[police truck.]] "Well you see Margarrett allowed Badal to..." Her voice is interrupted by the sound of doors swinging open as police officers emerging from the car shop try carry Margarrett down to [[police truck.]] "Get off of me, get off! I want my lawyer. He is going to sue all of your asses all of them!" she shouts. "Yeeahh keep wailing" says one of the officers as she shoves her into the vehicle [[Oh my god]] Another person is brought out by police officers with one of them saying [["this is the only other one"]]. It's Badal and he is less resistant than Margarret as he walks down to the police truck with a look of defeat upon his face. [[Go up to Badal]] [[Stay in your spot]] You try move towards Badal but a police officer stops you from doing so. [[The chief]] walks up to Badal You decide to observe. [[The chief]] walks up to Badal. He is pretty young for a chief, looks in his twenties with slicked back black hair. "We finally caught ya, you [[son of a bitch]]" "Al Malhotra, formally known as '[[AL the psychic]]'" he continues "I didn't use my power to brainwash people into crime this time, I didn't brainwash to steal banks either" [[Holy crap Badal...er..Al can brainwash]] "But what you did do is brainwash customers into buying your products and your boss was in it aswell, ooh, that's [[fraud]]" Al(Badal) tries his best to avoid the chief's gaze. "Take him away" the chief says. He is brought to the van where cuffs are put around his wrists. "Why'd you do Al?" a [[confused]] officer asks "Well after escaping prison I thought it would be a suitable place to hide, I mean no one's gonna find me there I thought to myself" Al [[admits]]. "How'd you escape?" the officer asks. "I dunno you should uncuff me and say 'obviously something like this'" orders Al. "[[Obviously something like this]]" the officer says as he takes off Al's cuff. "Jesus you forgot to stick this on him!" the officer shouts as he sticks a metal round helmet on Al. "What's this?" Badal asks stunned. "Something that will [[nulify]] your powers, fresh from the lab" "[[Shite]]" Al says as his cuffs are put back on by the cop who has now regained his senses. "One veeeery last question" asks the oh so curious police officer. "What now?" Al responds [[annoyed]]. "Why did you choose your new code name to be Badal?" "What's wrong with it?" "Well I mean it's kind of a giveaway like, Bad Al, it can be easily derived from your previous identity." "Well does Goodal, sound any good to you?" "No" "Exactly I know the word Bad kinda gives it away that I'm a bad guy but at least it sounds ok!" "Why couldn't you use a name [[not containing]] your original known name like Raj or Frank or something" "Well you see....[[oh]].." Al is brought into the police truck. One of the police officers goes up to you. "We're gonna be leaving now. Don't worry about your job, we've been informed that you are receiving a new boss next week?" [[Do you know if there is a promotion required in the shop by any chance?]] [[understood officer]] "Funny you say that, we were looking through documents and found that the shop is in need of a head salesman. Seems like there were 2 candidates and with Badal out of the way it looks like the other one will get it once the boss arrives" [[Mission Accomplished]] "Alright I'll see you anyways" The cops begin to pack up in order to leave. I guess it's gonna be a day off. "Oh and [[one more thing]]" "Alright I'll see you anyways" The cops begin to pack up in order to leave. I guess it's gonna be a day off [[Happy ending?]] I'm pretty sure it is. Like you still have to live in a world full of egotistical superpowered heroes and villains but like you just wanna be a car salesman and you just wanted that promotion which you got so yay! [[I'm satisfied]] [[Could you make it a bit happier, please]] Great! I realise there is a possibility you may be unsatisfied and forced to click that but whoo! Why am I typing this! Ahem, anyways I know the perfect way to [[end this]]. Alright, how about that one Samantha. Would you like to ask her out she's actually coming your way. [[Ask her out]] [[Stay as friends]] "Yes!" she shouts with immediate delight. She immediately realises how excited she is and calms down a little with a blush. "Um, sorry, I mean sure! I'd love to" she says with a smile. Whooo! Just made this a double happy ending! [[I'm satisfied]] Understood. As she approaches you, you high five and say "yeah! We got a day off, friend!" Ok maybe the friend part was over exaggerating the point but you get what I mean. You never know there may be someone else. [[I'm satisfied]] It's an option, you of course don't have to choose this option but you know when the credits play for a game or film with music in the background? [[Yep]] We are gonna have that. I was trying to think of a perfect song to play and the closest I got was [[All Star]] by Smashmouth. You know the song in Shrek. Thing is I can't play it cuz of, ya know, copyright, so instead here are lyrics that you can sing along to. Of course you can skip the credits cuz almost everyone skips credits, except this really won't be credits since one person was only involved so it's just gonna be the lyrics to All Star mainly [[Ew, credits]] [[Yes I want All Star]] Don't worry I understand completely. Hope you had a good look at my life and eh yeah thanks for playing The end Alright, [[here we go]] Game created by Rick Clutch also known as [[Hugh Carroll]] Somebody once [[told me]] the world is gonna [[roll me]] I ain't the sharpest tool in the [[shed]] [[-high pitch sound effect-]] with her finger and her [[thumb]] In the shape, of an L on her [[forehead]] [[Well]] [[the years start coming and they don't stop coming!]] [[Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running]] [[Didn't make sense not to live for fun]] [[Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb]] So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back [[streets?]] [[You'll never know if you don't go]] [[-Disk scratch remix sound-]] [[You'll never shine if you don't glow]] [[-guitar riff starts-]] Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, [[go play!]] Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, [[get paid!]] *All that glitters is gold* Only shooting staaaars break the [[mo-old]] thanks for singing along(if you did) and playing. I hope this game gave you an insight as to what my life is like in this bizarre world and how I cope with it.
