Stanley worked in an office, he was employee number 405. Stanley's job in life was simple. His boss would send him a list of words. Stanley would go over the list of words and click the proper word But one day he noticed all of his co-workers were gone. Stanley knew that if he pressed a [[blue->tutorial derail 1]] word, he would please his boss very much. Therefore, if he wanted to progress the story, [[he would continue clicking blue words->The right path 1]].

<<set $OrangeLink = 0>>\ You have a strange sense of humour Stanley, [[blue->tutorial derail 2]] words like that are only for demonstration purposes. Let's make some progress, shall we? [[Stanley clicked the blue words.->The right path 1]]

Stanley passed the cubicles of the mustard-colored offices. He was glad that his own office was its own separate room. As he passed by the windows of the other offices, they were still oddly vacant. His musings got the better of him when a green vat dominated his view. Well, maybe not dominating, because the container didn't reach much higher than his hips. Stanley's head became lighter. Try as he might, but he couldn't read the labels and warnings on the vat. The words and symbols became incomprehensible blobs to him. The flagrant way the round barrel was in his way told Stanley he had to make a choice. Those chemicals could be harmful, it's best to ignore it. [[Stanley proceeded to dip his arm into the mysterious liquid.->The right path 2]] [[Stanley ignores the barrel of mysterious liquid->Happy gas 1]]

Stanley, I don't know how to put this, but that's not how a story works. You know what? Have an \ <<if $OrangeLink < 9>>\ <span class="orange">[[orange->tutorial derail 2][$OrangeLink +=1]]</span> word.\ <<else>>\ <span class="orange">[[orange->tutorial derail 3]]</span> word.\ <<endif>>\ You can click it as much as you like, and when you're done, we can [[finally start the story->The right path 1]] <<switch $OrangeLink>>\ <<case 1>>Yes! you can click it just like that!\ <<case 2>>Don't be afraid to click some more!\ <<case 3>>You are quite eager! And I can assure you that other paths are just as fun!\ <<case 4>>Hm... I think we can stop now...\ <<case 5>>Could you please stop?\ <<case 6>>The only thing you're accomplishing is wasting your, and especially my time.\ <<case 7>>Could you please stop?\ <<case 8>>I'm telling you Stanley! Nothing will come of this!\ <<case 9>>Stop! This! Instant!\ <<default>>\ <</switch>>\

<<set $OrangeLink = 0>>\ <div class="orangeLinks"> H-How? I didn't even. You know what? Have it your way. Stanley clicked the <<linkappend "orange words.">> A sense of vertigo overtook Stanley, his viewpoint shifted to the underside of his desk. <<linkappend "Good, good, that's still working...">> <span class="orange">[[The changes didn't stop there->tutorial derail 4]]</span> <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ </div>

<<linkappend "Stanley, I don't know if you can hear me from up here, but you're still shrinking!">> <<linkappend "Oh, I think I can still reach him. Now where was I…">> Ah yes! Stanley's size was rapidly diminishing, in fact gravity now pressed much harder on him. He fell forwards and caught himself with his hands, but couldn't get back up again. His clothes were now a tent draped over him. Stanley's body slowly turned black, as the weight he had to bear was suddenly easier to cope with. When he looked to his sides, he could see spindly limbs jutting from his bulbous sides. Two antenna came into view. Stanley the ant couldn't form a though about his current predicament. Ants don't worry like that. They are diligent workers, made to do work, think only about work, no pesky free will to get in the way of a story. Thus, Stanley set off to work for his hive. A new purpose in life. <<linkappend "And Stanley was happy.">> [[Until one day, all of his co-workers were gone.->The start]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

When Stanley approached a set of two open doors, the narrator had to check his notes… <<linkappend "Was this the right story?">> Stanley didn't care, he was excited to progress the story. That boring narrator was only deliberating his magnificent narration. <<linkappend "Well, Stanley I don't know about you, but your sudden enthusiasm strikes me as-">> [["Continue! Continue!" Stanley urged the narrator. ->Happy gas 2]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

<<linkappend "Um… Eh… I have to level with you Stanley, I usually take a bit of time to write the next passage bef-">> Stanley rushed along, his stature already diminished to a third of his original height. His excitement couldn't be contained. His little claws scratched at the green vat, only to get distracted by a plant in the corner, his tail whipping after him. Stanley rubbed his face in bliss, squeaking in delight. This is so much fun! Being smaller allowed him to enjoy all the things in the office that much more! The desks were great mountain ranges he would clamber onto. Papers were now like shirts to him. Rolling chairs as mobile sofas. Plant pots a new bed he could burrow in. So much to see, so much to enoy. It was such an experience! Joy! Joy all around! <<linkappend "And Stanley was happy!">> <<linkappend "And Stanley was happy!">> <<linkappend "And Stanley was happy!">> <<linkappend "And Stanley was happy!">> <<linkappend "And Stanley was happy!">> [[Until one day he noticed all of his co-workers were gone… ->The start]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

As Stanley removed his arm from the liquid, the veil of this world parted. With his eyes unburned by the illusion, he now saw the room for what it truly was. He spun around, taking the room's details. [[A window showing the night sky, a majestic light filtering into the dank office->The moon]] [[A single red door leading to somewhere->The right path 3]]

Stanley, I'm a bit at a loss for words. Which is quite the feat, because I am the one who actually writes and responds to your actions. Hm.. What to do, what to do. Ordinarily I would have a witty response, but your prior actions were so unpredictable, I need some time to figure it out. <<linkappend "Aha! I have got it!">> Instead of only relying on my own smarts to progress this story, I can ask you for help! Please write a suggestion, an essay. My, you might even write a whole novel! Just suggest anything you fancy! <textarea placeholder="Now Stanley, I know this might be a bit jarring, but instead of clicking on text, I need you to go to this text box… Area. And type in anything that comes to mind!. Don't be shy, there are no wrong answers!"></textarea> <button>Tell me anything that comes up!</button> In the meantime, I can ponder on how to proceed with this story. Don't mind me, I'm just using this part of the document to just feel out the different kinds of situations I can put you into. For example, what if you completely ignore the vat of undetermined liquid? You were quite brave by sticking your arm into and, and only then could you discern that that was the way to safely proceed from there. Hm.. . <div class="random-passage-wrapper">\ <div class="random-passage" id="r-passage1">"I could make you into an obedient drone. A faceless, compliant creature who would not get into the way of my story. But where's the fun in that? <div class="random-passage" id="r-passage2">"How about a minotaur? Exploring your offices, which are very maze-like. Hm… But would that make a compelling story? <div class="random-passage" id="r-passage3">"Ooh, a werewolf is always a crowd-pleaser! But we do need to lay down some groundwork first. For example: no jumping on furniture. And any fur cluttering the office is yours to clean up! Probably too much of a hassle. <div class="random-passage" id="r-passage4">"Here's one! An owl! They're known to be wise, and you could help keep the rodents out. Now that I say so… Birds do need space to fly. And to be honest, I prefer to narrate the story during the daytime. <div class="random-passage" id="r-passage5">"Ah, a crocodile!

Brimming with self-actuation. Aaand easily gets the better of others… On second thought, let's not. </div> Hmmm... Stanley I appreciate the effort, but I just can't get into this. I know you want to write something that I could act on , but I just... don't really see the benefit of persuing this. <<linkappend "The narrator felt the urge to do something">> Am I really Stanley? Or are you just trying to force your will onto me? Because right now I want to just laze about a bit and not think about anything. Especially not being human. What should I do.. What should I be... <<linkappend "The narrator could barely contain his excitement">> Uh... No, Stanley. Quite the contrary, but a bear you say... That sounds kind of interesting, but still not quite what I'm looking for. I mean, they can be lazy... But they're not all that <b>special</b>. <<linkappend "">> [[Could you do me a favor and just return to the start? That would be incredibly convenient for me. ->The start]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

Stanley took it upon himself to see if any object in the small storage room would initiate a change in him. <<linkappend "Ooh! Maybe this bucket will make me a robot! A bona fide bucket head!">> <<linkappend "These batteries could shock his lousy life up!">> <<linkappend "Maybe these brass balls would give him some prowess!">> <<linkappend "And that ladder could give him a step up on others!">> Stanley, I'm very aware you want some change in your life, but we can't all go out and make outrageous demands! [[You want some change in your life fine? Fine then!->Incessant 2]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

What reason is there to challenge a great intellect whose very actions would undermine him? Wouldn't it be better to join him? Maybe even support him in his efforts? Stanley, I seem to have underestimated you. On some deep level, one that needs to be pierced by a great intellect like mine, you seem to understand me. Comprehend my very feelings and desires on a level I never thought possible. <<linkappend "Has there always been such desire?">> Did it need to be nurtured in order to be drawn out? <<linkappend "It's a very valid question, you know.">> I thought long and hard about it myself. <<linkappend "What if I encountered someone who comprehended on a fundamental level?">> <<linkappend "Who could grant me what I desired!">> <<linkappend "Break this endless cycle of repeated actions!">> <<linkappend "I've been wandering and wondering for a long time myself.">> Would I ever find meaning in this void called life? Would I ever be satisified if I finally found an audience. Those who would consume and participate in my stories? <<linkappend "But that all changed, didn't it?">> I wish I could kiss you myself! <<linkappend"But we still have a story to write!">> An audience to captivate! Lessons to impart! Yes! Let's! We don't need Stanley anymore, my fellow. The both of us can narrate a story of our own devices! We don't need anything so silly as a main character, we can make the world speak for itself! <<linkappend "Transform the very inhabitants en masse and observe as the chaos unfolds!">> <<linkappend "Paint our own ideas unto blank slates we shape!">> <<linkappend "No more Stanley! It's just us now!">> <<linkappend "And the narrator and the narrator were happy.">> [[Until one day he noticed all of his co-workers were gone… ->The start]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

Okay Stanley, listen closely, I need you to repeat after me. Wait, uh, you can't really speak…. You know what, just pick the appropriate response, I will give you some standard-issue replies. [[Okay!->Parotting]] [[Your subscription for ResponseAutomator has ended, please renew your license->Nulled]]

Ah Stanley, would you look at that! A perfectly circular disk in the sky. Ooh, I'm getting so excited! Are you feeling something? A tug perhaps? A calling? An urge? <<linkappend "...">> You seem very nonplussed. You do know what that bright beacon in the sky means, right? Werewolves! Ferocious creatures of the night! Terrifying the common folk! Impervious to all common weapons! A power trip beyond any <<type 40ms>> means! Ooh, I'm already giddy just thinking of the possibilities! I would run along the trees in the forest! Catch and devour my prey in a drive to still a hunger planted in me! Allow all the enhanced senses to wash over me! Feel the power the transformation would grant! <</type>> <<linkappend "<Yawn>">> Did you just yawn?! Out of all the responses you could've chosen, you opted to yawn?! Oh, pardon me, I don't know what just overtook me. I lost my composure. That is not a measured response a professional narrator like I shou- <<linkappend "<Give up>">> Stanley, please don't lie on the floor… We're civilized people! Come on, up and at 'em! We still have a story to explore! Mysteries to unravel! Treasure to be found. I'm so envious of you! Able to go on adventures that others have dreamt up! Aren't you raring to go? <<linkappend "<Streeeetch>">> You.. You don't want to do any of that? Don't you see the the light shining down on you? Inviting you to explore the night? Oooh, I'm getting so excited! There's so many things I could sink my teeth into! But alas, I'm not the one who's experiencing the story here, you are! <<linkappend "<Flop your tail a bit>">> Are you playing coy? Is that what you're getting at? You're getting some sick sense of joy out of ignoring me? I know your back is turned you know! Probably hiding a smile from me.. Come on, out with it! What are you playing at? <<linkappend "<Gotta scratch that itch>">> You ignore me again? Why? WHY?!! All I wanted was to tell a story! We can't do that if you don't do anything! It makes me so angry! It make me want to howl and chase something! <<linkappend "<Ignore>">> You- You wily COYOTE!! IF I CAN GET MY CLAWS ON YOU I WILL TEAR YOU TO PIECES!! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT? <<linkappend "<Stand up>">> FINALLY! Are you ready to go on an adventure now? <<linkappend "<Patter arround>">> What are you doing? <<linkappend "<Lie down>">> AGAIN? YOU IGNORE ME AGAIN?! THIS IS ON PURPOSE! A SETUP! YOU CANNOT BE THIS ANTAGONISTIC TOWARDS ME! Excuse me, I need to leave. THIS COMPUTER CAN GO TO HELL. RIP! REND! TEAR! I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING! AHAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!! I DON'T NEED ANYONE! I WILL MAKE MY OWN STORY! [CONNECTION LOST] <<linkappend "<Finally some quiet>">> <<linkappend "<Aaaah, this is bliss>">> <<linkappend "<Life's good>">> <<linkappend "<So happy>">> <<linkappend "And Stanley was happy">> [[Until one day he noticed all of his co-workers were gone… ->The start]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

Good then! Stanley, I need you to listen very closely. The following instructions are crucial to understanding the rigorous actions you need to perform. <<linkappend ""Listen closely"">> Yes! Yes! Quite! Now, are you ready to listen to the instructions? <<linkappend ""Are you ready?"">> Aye! Aye! I am certainly ready! I have this very complicated setup I need to guide you through. Just repeat after me, and you will most certainly come to enjoy this exploration of narrative prowess! <<linkappend ""Repeat after me"">> No! No! Although I do have to admit it's quite funny to follow me to the letter, I am not intending you to do so. Now, let's get serious. <<linkappend ""Quite funny indeed!"">> Wait a moment… Stanley are you talking to me? <<linkappend ""Are you talking to me?"">> Why yes, I'm trying to get a response by asking "Are you talking to me?" [["Are you talking to me?" *Squawk*->Parotting 2]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

Oh, poppycock. I could've sworn I'd paid my bills on time. One moment please, Stanley, I will get to the bottom of this! <<linkappend "<NULL>">> Sorry, Stanley! I didn't quite hear your from all the way over there. Could you repeat that? <<linkappend "<NULL>">> I don't know what you're doing, but it seems you're making progress! Don't mind me, I'm still figuring things out! <<linkappend "<NULL>">> > FATAL ERROR > NULL REFERENCE EXCEPTION IN LINE 491 > FATAL ERROR OCCURED IN STORY.MAIN > SYSTEM WILL NOW REBOOT [[<NULL>->Nulled 2]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

Say, Stanley, did you get something on your face? You don't recall anything of the sort? Peculiar, mighty peculiar… <<linkappend "Scratch face">> Yes! Right there! There's something gray on your cheek! I would offer you a handkerchief, but I can't really interfere with your story now, should I? Unbeknownst to our omniscient narrator, Stanley was already turning. The gray spot on his face was only an indicator of the vast changes below Stanley's clothes. They itched his skin, but the all-powerful storyteller still kept him within his narrative grasp. <<linkappend "...">> Hold on. Who are you? Only I and Stanley are supposed to be here! I specifically wrote this story so that no one else could butt in and steal my thunder! The narrator's irate remarks diverted his attention away from Stanley, who now gave a mighty streeeetch to alleviate his lengthening spine. The cracks and pops rang like delightful fireworks in his ears. <<linkappend "...">> What are you driving at? Why are you interfering with my story? Don't you have anything better to do than to bother me with your drivel? Stanley bent his back and threw his arms up. More fireworks set off and furthered his enjoyment. But as he lowered his arms again, something brushed against him. It flicked in the corner of his eye. What are you doing? Why is it… The black spot in Stanley's periphery couldn't be ignored. It wiggled and turned. Jived and taunted. He had to catch it, just to find out what this mysterious object could be… <<linkappend "...">> Stanley ducked down to his haunches, readying himself to pounce using his developed leg muscles. If the thing would show itself again, he would be ready for it. <<linkappend "The wait was long.">> <<linkappend "Arduous.">> <<linkappend "Agonizing.">> But Stanley knew that his grey pelt would camouflage against the dull, grey walls of the office. <<linkappend"Patient now…">> Any second… <<linkappend"POUNCE!!">> The chase was on! Stanley barely missed the thing that taunted him. But he was hot on its heels. Each time he'd bend to get it, his prey got that bit further out of reach! It wasn't even a matter of getting the thing, it was a matter of principle! Stanley's sharp claws, covered by a luxurious coating of fur aided in his traction. He wouldn't slip or slide on the slick floor, that would be ridiculous! After the thing circled around him for several revolutions, he got a mouthful of fur. <<linkappend "A tingle went down his spine,">> one which motivated him all the more, as he was that much closer to catching it! Stanley spat out the hairs and set out to once more get a grasp on his tormentor. His lithe body was no match for the thing, as he bent his torso at just the right time when it would escape him once again. The fuzzy tube felt heavenly in his mouth. It wriggled a bit here and there, a confirmation that the thing was in fact alive. As he bit down on it. <<linkappend "MROOOOOOWRRR!!">> Stanley exclaimed, dropping the limp thing in an instant. The pain throbbed in his tail, as he saw the object not for what it was. His! His own snow leopard tail! Despite the pain he took it in his maw once more. Joyous over his magnificent tail, his lush fur, and his superior feline body. Oh how much fun he would have with his prized tail! He could do this for days! <<linkappend "And Stanley was purfect.">> [[Until one day he noticed that all of his co-workers were gone.->The start]] <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\

As the red door opened, Stanley was greeted with another hallway. Only one way to go on now: [[dead ahead->Technical difficulties]]. He wouldn't be distracted by another object, like a [[stray door off to the side->Sidetrack 1]].

The mighty narrator did not expect the lowly Stanley to just open a door at the slightest whim. No, Stanley just had to be Stanley and force his agency upon others. In this sectioned off area, Stanley was left to his own devices. His and his actions alone would determine the fate brough upon him by the hand of the narrator!

Finally, that took an inordinate amount of time… Oh, right! [     ] are you still there? Hello? [     ]? I finally resolved the issue with the software! It seemed to be a grand misunderstanding. They charged the wrong credit card. Not to worry, this one should last at least a week. Hmm, that is quite peculiar. I could've sworn that I had a story going on. Did you restart, [     ]?

YES I AM!! Ugh, we're getting nowhere. Um... Stanley? You look sort of different. I mean, green suits you really well, but there seems to be something off about it, you know... <<linkappend ""Green suit! Green suit!"">> Ah! That explains it! Looks quite nice on you mate! Very sophisticated of you! However, isn't it a bit too big on you? You seem to be flapping around in it. That doesn't seem very practical to me... <<linkappend ""Flapping! Flapping! Flapping!"">> Aye, but isn't it too big for you? It's already draping over you. It actually makes me wonder how no one else noticed yer ill-fitting suit in the first place. And you're flailing your arms about! That's unprofessional for a mere office worker. You can stop now, actually. You're damaging your suit, almost as if it's feathring... <<linkappend ""Feathering!

Off ta adventure on the salty seas! <<linkappend "And thus the captain and Stanley set off. Sailing the seven seas.">> They would amass a crew in short time. Thanks to no small part to the charisma bonus Stanley granted the captain. Their crew was a mighty fine one, and they would celebrate their successes with plenty of grog and, of course, salty crackers. And thus, the captain, the crew, and above all others, Stanley were happy.

Stanley was begotten by a strange sense of vertigo. A feeling from deep within his very core. With each passing minute he encroached on the ceiling. His stature was growing, filling his clothes out more and more. He could feel the change gripping him, molding him. How life-changing this new alteration would be! <<linkappend "And suddenly it all stopped.">> <<linkappend "He had grown an inch. A whole inch!">> Imagine how much easier he would be able to reach the top shelves! How crushing his height advantage was over his colleagues! How all of his clothes and shoes were just a bit too tight! "Hooray!" Yelled Stanley! "The narrator fulfilled Stanley's base desire! His handsome writing and witty thinking are just what Stanley needed! <<linkappend "And Stanley was happy!">> [[Until one day he noticed all of his co-workers were gone… ->The start]] (<a href="https://www.furaffinity.net/user/impossible-ace/" target="_blank">Original idea the impossible-ace</a>) <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\ <</linkappend>>\
