[[click here to begin mf |intro]]<</timed>>
<<timed 1s t8n>> hey.. $name!
<<next 2s>>I get that you are feeling $mood frfr.
<<next 2s>>With that in mind, I have acquired the following tale...

How will it turn out? <<next 2s>> Well, $name, that's TBD rip!<<next 2s>>
[[Enjoy!|direction]]<</timed>>
<<type 20ms start 2s>>One winter evening you are driving home just as
twilight is turning into night. You are tired asf and trying to get home
quickly. Google Maps always suggests some mf old forest road that aint anyone ever heard of before in a attempt to save you half an hour when you are goin this way.
Feeling devious, you slow down at the turn methodically.
Do you want to take the [[forest route]] and save 30 minutes and probably get eatin by a skinwalker or sumn shit?
Or, do you want to continue on the [[usual road]], and be a boring mf deprived of schlump <</type>><<timed 1s t8n>>Your curiosity gets the best of you and evidently never seen a horror movie. <<next 2s>>Something
compels your less than inteligent ass to step out of the safety of your car.
<<next 2s>>As you walk a few steps into the forest...
<<next 3s>>you notice a weird <<cycle "$answer" autoselect>>

get home. <<next>>You dismiss the opportunity, and drive on.
<<next 3s>>Or, at least, you try to.

<</cycle>><<type 10ms>>You look up from your celluar device, startled by what you see. The
orb seems closer suddenly...or maybe it is just larger. "Maybe it's
friendly?" you foolishly think to yourself ...hmm...You ponder the possibilities:
Do you want to reach out to [[touch the orb|touch]] with your hand and potentially never see your mom again?
Or...give it the wet work because mama didnt raise no bitch. -- [[just fight!|fight]]<</type>><<set $encounter to 1>><<type 60ms>><<timed 6s>><<goto "wakeup">><</timed>>You reach your
hand out towards the orb. Expecting to feel heat, you are surprised that it is quite cold.
The quality of light increases, becomes blindingly bright <</type>>
<<type 30ms>><<timed 45s>><<goto "wakeup">><</timed>>You begin throwing hands but it evades all your shots.
It starts swinging hands in self defense because you started this exchange and it is evidently knowlegable at beating your ass in particular.

you pray to god.
...
he doesn't answer.

...
...
you get up and pick your jaw up from off the floor and proceed to run since there is nothing dishonorable about evading when you met your match.
You hear the leaves crunching beneath your feet and see the brilliant blue
light of the orb illuminating the path in front of you."Is mf actually
getting brighter?" you wonder if you'll see tmmr. Determined you keep running. <</type>><<if $encounter eq 1>>

<<type 60ms>>You crumple it up. It makes no more sense than anything else you've experienced
in the last several hours. Miraculously, your car starts, and your gas tank has been
refilled! You drive out of the forest and spend the rest of the day trying to make sense of
your weird experience.

[[try again?|title]]<</type>>the changes i made were pretty much to add more atrocious language because i found it funny and made it easier to work. I also added a fight between the running away option because i found it more entertaining. the whole process felt pretty straight forward though someparts were a little confusing but i think i got a good handle on it.
