Many Paths Adventure
I tried this before with some help, but let's see if I/we can work it this time. The idea is to make a 'Choose Your Own Path' adventure novel for Multiverser. If anyone wants to contribute 1)Ideas 2)Suggestions for choices or 3)Even segments that would be great.
Choice suggestions should be short, sentence-like, and to the point as in:
"Choose one of the following:
A. Dodging madly, I run away as fast as I can.
B. Fighting defensively, I try to negotiate with the unknown assailants.
C. Angered beyond words, I scream and lunge at the murderous thugs."
In such a situation, you could provide one of the choices or the the whole thing.
Also any critiques on logic or grammar are welcome.
====================
Between computer classes at Walton State, and the questionable glories of being Junior Tech Support at Webcom, Inc. you don't find much time to simply relax. But as the saying goes, you can sleep after you're out of college, and so late one night you're at a party when the half-blitzed hostess finds out you're Tech Support. So she grabs you by the hand and drags you over to her computer and shouting over the blaring music she tries to explain just what's wrong with her computer.
"It...ah...won't run."
The time is after midnight, and your head is pounding from the loud music and the overheated room and sheer sleepiness, but trying to be nice you look under the table, and spot the numero uno computer problem. The plug has been pulled out, probably by a careless foot. You bend down, and slip off the moving chair to underneath the table.
The chair bumps into her stomach, and you realize you're going to have to apologize which is a bit much to take right now. She leans over, drink in hand when you plug things in, and the computer revs up even as her drink splatters across the keyboard, and hits your back with an icy shower.
The last thing you see is a small symbol on the side of the computer tower hidden under the desk. Its a half-second glance even as you scoot out from under the desk as quickly as you can, but your feet are entangled with the legs of the five-wheeled chair behind you, and your hostess' legs.
"Scriff Inside!" Its the latest bit of technowizardry, and a very closely guarded secret, but the rumors are of very strange results, and large increases in speed. Perhaps you can look at her computer once you dry off...a drop falls from your shirt, onto the already soaked surge protector that was old enough to be useless. A circuit is completed, and and you're in the midst of it.
Lightning flashes. White fire dances around you, and in that brightness you spot what seems to be yellow oblong fluid shapes that fly free. And then you black out.
