(text-style:"fade-in-out")[Hey, wake [[up]].](text-style:"fade-in-out")[ [[Wake up]]. We need to talk. It's pretty significant.]Hey, what’s up. I got some [[important news]] to say.There’s a [[black out]]. All electricity is out. The blackout started a while ago. I'm not sure what happened but the neighborhood is in complete darkness. It’s kind of weird seeing this place without any light.Yeah, it’s [[hard to see]]. There’s barely any light, just some moonlight and an occasional small light bulb from an electronic.Good thing I’m wearing this bright [[coat]]. Really makes me stand out huh? It's a nice coat by the way. I hope you like it.Yeah the heat is off too, it’s a little chilly because the seasons are changing. I don't really like this weather. But you seem to [[not feel anything]].Come on, let’s try to find something to [[help us]]. Maybe there are some flashlights or candles or something around the house that is useful.Do you want to go [[Kitchen]], [[Dining Room]], [[Living Room]]?Let's [[look around]] to see if there's anything we can use. I'll check the top cabinents, you check those drawers. (set: $visitKitchen to 1)Let's [[search the room]] to see if there's anything we can use. I'll check around this side of the table, you check the other side near the chairs. (set: $visitDining to 1)Look out of the [[window]]. I want to show you something. (if:$flashlight is 1)[Also, the flashlight isn't working, so put it down.]The [[only light we see is from the moon]]. The other rooms in the house are too dark to see anything. Even with the power on, I prefer rooms with some windows. Not sure if I could get used to a windowless room like the one you're always in.Oh hey nice find. A [[flashlight]].(if:$visitDining is 1)[Let's see if the [[batteries work]] with these.] (if:$visitDining is 0)[Let's go to the [[Dining Room]] or to the [[Living Room]] next]Nope, seems like the batteries are dead. That's [[unfortunate]]. (set: $flashlight to 1)Do you want to visit the [[Living Room]] next or the [[Dining Room]]?Oh cool, you found [[batteries]].(if:$visitKitchen is 1)[Let's see if the [[flashlight works]] with these.] (if:$visitDining is 0)[Let's go to the [[Kitchen]] or to the [[Living Room]] next]Nope, seems like the batteries are dead. That's [[unlucky of us]]. (set: $flashlight to 1)Do you want to visit the [[Living Room]] next or the [[Kitchen]]?Seems like the whole neighborhood is experiencing [[the blackout]] but I don’t see anyone else. It seems odd outsite. No one is even outside or going to the neighbors to see what is going on.By the way, the blackout started a couple of hours ago. You must have [[fallen asleep]] before it started.How was your nap by the way? You seemed [[really tired]] after work. I saw you passed out on the couch after seeing you go on your phone a little bit.Still feeling tired? You seem so tired from work that you’re [[speechless]].Yeah well, I’m [[feeling]] chatty today, because the power went down. I can’t talk to the friends online.I feel [[kind of bored]] since without the power on, I don’t have much to do. Not the biggest deal to me I guess. But it’s probably worse for you, since your work life, school life, social life, and I guess your life in general revolves using your computer and phone constantly. You probably really want to power to come back on. You probably have even less to do.[[I’m basically talking into the void.]]Look how empty it is outside and inside [[without light]]. The complete silence also doesn't help. Everywhere is so quiet now. I can only hear my voice right now.[[What do you see?]]Yeah nothing, I barely can tell [[where]] in the house we even are.Is there [[anyone outside?]]I barely see anything outside. The blackout even took out the street lights. At least for a few miles ahead [[it’s hard to see]].Hey, I have an idea. Let's [[head to the roof]] to get a better view of the neighborhood. It'll probably be a nicer view. It's also something to do at least.It’s dark so stay close to the windows. As long as we [[follow the walls]], we’ll eventually reach the right stairwell. The moonlight is a good guide. Don’t [[wander]] off. Hey [[stay out]] of the darkness, I don’t want to lose you.Ok [[here are the stairs]].Careful with the stairs. It’s hard to see each [[step]]. And make sure you hold on to the railing.Ok. I found the ladder. I’ll [[climb]] to the attic first.It’s dusty. Not sure about you, but I haven’t been here in a while. The [[attic]] sure is spacious.Let's [[look out]] the windowWe have a much [[better view]] with this window. We can see so much further from higher up.Take a seat and enjoy [[the view]].Because of the blackout, the [[darkness]] is miles around us.But with this darkness, you can really see the [[stars shine]] in the sky.The stars [[look]] pretty. That and the moon are the only light we have right now. It doesn't seem like much compared to if the power was on but it's still nice.The outside seems so open while inside is [[darker and empty]].What’s the look on your face? You've been having an [[interesting reaction]] to the view.What are you doing? You’re walking towards the ladder. Are you [[heading inside]] downstairs [[or]] do you want to [[come outside]]?The [[dark and empty]] huh?[[Come closer]] to the window.[[Take those steps]] down and you’ll see nothing.Don’t [[go down]].Please don’t [[go]].(size:0.75)+(text-style:"fade-in-out")[ [[Bye]] ]While it’s still dark, you can see [[brightness far away]].If we head out we may not see anything right away but if we [[go outside]] we might have experience something.I’m [[opening the window]]. I hope you'll come with me.(text-colour:black)+(background:white)[[Let’s go]].(text-colour:black)+(background:white)[...]Are [[you]] going to say anything?Are you [[going]] to do anything?Are you going [[to]] keep on staying still?You need to [[do]] something eventually.[[Anything?->interesting reaction]](text-colour:white)+(bg:black)[...]
