NecRomancer

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/CYLij3K.png" width="300" height="300" /> You are Viktoria Frankenstein, brilliant and beautiful mad scientist! Lately, you've been stunted when it comes to inventions lately, (not to mention lonely), so you decide to combine your two greatest loves (click-append: "loves")[(t8n:"dissolve")[, science and beautiful girls!](stop:)] Obviously, being the genius you are, you gather your research materials to get started on your dream girl! (click-append: "research materials")[(t8n:"dissolve")[ (smutty comics and cartoons)](stop:)] [[Assemble your design!]] (set: $materials to 0)

=><= All done! She's beautiful, and she'll be all yours soon. All you need is some limbs, sewing materials, and a brain! Let's get crackin'! |== [[Limbs!]] ==| [[Brain!]] =|||= [[Thread!]] =><= (if: $materials is 3)[ [[She's almost done!]]]

=><= You'll need to swing by the graveyard in order to secure some limbs! Digging up bodies is tough work, though. That's why you have an assistant! Igor's your best friend, you've known him for years! But he loves to whine in your ear about how "illegal" and "immoral" your experiments are. What a buzzkill! Do you really wanna bring him along? |== [[Call your boy]] ==| [[Ugh, no!]]

=><= The only place to get a good brain is Faust's Office. He's a real weirdo, completely obsessed with immortality. Plus, he also tries to flirt with you when you stop by! Gross! But you really need this brain!! [[You have no choice..]]

=><= Just a trip to the store should do it! Walking along the path to town, you spot your favorite book store! Your favorite comic, //Ma Cherie Cadavre//, has a new issue out! Do you spend your material money on it, or go to the market? |== [[Buy it?]] ==| [[Control yourself!]]

=><= It takes some time, some effort, and a whole lot of lovin', but you manage to assemble the body! Hooking the car batteries up to the needed areas, you blast a couple thousands volts through her previously necrotic veins. [[She's alive! She's alive!]]

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/oE9M5EI.png" width="300" height="300" /> Igor meets you at your local graveyard, looking as dirty and nervous as usual. He whimpers at you when you walk up and slap his shoulder in greeting. What a goof! As you tell him your brilliant plan, he gets sweatier and sweatier. You hold out your arms so that you can help him climb over the fence, but instead of climbing up, he gently takes your hand. [[Igor speaks:]]

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/h48w7Gw.png" width="300" height="300" /> (set: $materials to $materials +1) You don't have time to deal with his bullshit, so you hop the fence to the graveyard all on your own, and dig up precisely what you need. It takes a little more time than you would have liked, but it'll be worth it! [[Back to shopping! ->Assemble your design!]]

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/oE9M5EI.png" width="300" height="300" /> //"Vikki, I...I can't let you do this! Not anymore! Look at you! Y-you never put on a shirt, your hair's a mess, you're about to rob some innocent people's graves, and for what? To build yourself a girlfriend? I-I can't let this happen! Please, just come with me. We'll go to my junkyard, live in my hovel, and we can be happy together. Just you, m-me, and the junk."// Wow, you think that's the longest you've heard Igor speak without becoming a stuttering mess. Do you accept his proposal? |== [[You guess...]] ==| [[Ugh, no!]]

=><= You follow Igor to his junkyard and talk. You two begin to date. Before you know it, you're married. Igor's nice and the junkyard makes good money, but you feel... (live: 2s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[ [[empty.]]](stop:)]

=><= A couple days into marriage, people in town start disappearing. You make sure Igor never finds the bodies. (live: 3s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[It's so easy, because the junkyard is so big.](stop:)] (live: 7s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[Igor's so nice...and weak. It would be easy to make him disappear too. He's starting to talk about having kids.](stop:)] (live: 10s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[You can't take much more of [[this.]]](stop:)]

=><= //Ending 1: Till death do us part// <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/wN6fKQa.png" width="300" height="300" />

=><= Dammit! You just couldn't do it! Your girlfriend is just gonna have to wait another day... (live: 2s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[ [[Sigh...]]](stop:)]

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/h48w7Gw.png" width="300" height="300" /> You manage to fight off the temptation! You're able to buy sewing materials that are able to withstand some heavy duty cuddling and even have some money left over! [[Good job! ->Assemble your design!]] (set: $materials to $materials +1)

=><= //Ending 2: Failure//

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/NjXBDUw.png" width="300" height="300" /> Faust greets you as soon as you walk into his office. You drown out his greeting as you walk inside, glancing at the various organs he's got floating in jars on the office shelves, your attention taken by a small hand in a thick green-ish liquid. When he seems like he's done, you open your mouth to speak [[but he interrupts you, like an asshole.]]

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/NjXBDUw.png" width="300" height="300" /> //"You know, Miss Vikki, you're speaking to a living legend. I've gained immortality! I can't die! I just know that a...beautiful...scientist such as yourself would love to know my secret. Lucky for you, I'd love to give it to you! Just step into my study..."// |== [[Oh, sure!]] ==| [[Hand over the brain, asshole!]]

=><= You step into Faust's study, and take the drink he offers you as you take a seat. There's more organs back here, suspended in jars and tanks on every available surface. He starts droning on and on about the beauty of a body that will never age or decompose. (live: 2s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[Why do his words sound so...far away?](stop:)] (live: 5s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[The last thing you see before everything goes dark is Faust's disgusting grin.](stop:)] (live: 8s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[ [[What an asshole...]]](stop:)]

=><= You decide to get while the getting's good, and get the heck outta there with the brain in hand. (Well, in jar.) As you walk out of Faust's office, you're stopped by an [[unfamiliar man.]]

=><= //Ending 3: Trophy Life// <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/shgnIZH.png" width="300" height="300" />

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/7IAhSTI.png" width="300" height="300" /> //"Hey there! I'm Mephistopheles, but you can call me Mephy. See, I'm in a bit of an awkward position. I popped into your world, looking for some sucker to take my place in hell, and I thought I'd struck gold with that Faust guy. Turns out, the guy was already a loon before I got here! You...Uhm....You got a nice look to ya. You wanna be a demon, girlie?"// |== [[Nah.]] ==| [[Hell yeah!]]

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/h48w7Gw.png" width="300" height="300" /> Ehh, not today, maybe later though! You and Mephy exchange numbers and promise to hang out soon, but you've got things to build right now! [[Back to the list!->Assemble your design!]] (set: $materials to $materials +1)

=><= Of course, that sounds sick as hell! You have to sell your soul to Mephy, but eh, you never used that thing anyway. Hell is great! You can catch people on fire with just a look, people bow whenever you past, and you can hover anywhere you please! [[All hail the demon queen!]]

=><= //Ending 4: Smokin' Hot!// <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/o7jisF5.png" width="300" height="300" />

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/gp8OiZb.png" width="300" height="300" /> She's alive, and absolutely adorable. Your new girlfriend flutters her slightly dusty eyelashes and gives you a sweet smile. //"Hello, my love! It's so wonderful to finally be alive! What is my name?"// Oh, you hadn't even thought of a [[name!]]

=><= <img src = "https://i.imgur.com/L966P4h.png" width="300" height="300" /> You name her Bitzi. You love her and she loves you! At times, you have teach her to be a cool girl like you, but she's a fast learner! (live: 4s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[//Best Ending: Bitzi!//](stop:)]
