However, most, and if not all, will involve obtaining something of value. Hacking jobs using INCUBUS are composed of two parts: ACCESSING and ANALYZING. <center>------ACCESSING------</center> As you will see, accessing requires you to input a passkey in order to infiltrate your target's system. Without any additional information, this will prove difficult, but INCUBUS allows users to view traffic sent or received by an IP address. From the information you find from emails, messages, etc., you'll be able discern the passkey. However, if all else fails, users are able to force reset a password after a failed passkey attempt. Once an incorrect passkey is entered, a button will appear prompting the user to send an "Forgot password?" email to the IP address. Viewing the TRAFFIC will allow the users to view the email and answer security questions. These questions are heavily related to the TRAFFIC received and sent by the IP address. After the correct answers have been given, a temporary password will appear on the ACCESS SYSTEM screen. <center>------ANALYZING------</center> Once you have accessed a target's system, you'll be given full admin privileges and access. This includes viewing images, videos, folders, messages, and anything else potentially stored on the system. You will also be able to search through the file system of the computer using the search bar. This search bar is important for accessing additional files not already available to you or completing potential hidden goals. <center><<button [[BEGIN JOB|Accessing Screen]]>><</button>></center></div>

INCUBUS is to be accessed and used ''only'' by Abaddon Industries employees and users who have been validated by Abaddon Industries.

Based on her current grades, you see her dropping out in about a month or so, or at least when the quarter ends. However, you have noticed that she's been recently emailing a modeling agency, which you honestly hope works out. While she is a little rough around the edges and her attractiveness is beyond intimidating, she's honestly pretty cool. She's only been working at the video store about a month now, but she's picked up quickly. Chuck likes her too, but honestly only because she attracts the creeps who Chuck can eventually swindle out of their cash. Can you really blame them though? You've caught yourself staring at her a couple of times too - something about her "alternative" and "gothic" persona is very appealing.

You honestly can't help but feel close to Skye - you've never talked to her like this in the past, mainly because you really don't want to stay at work any longer.

You're not quite sure what the effect of the data leak have been on the crime rate, but you can only imagine it's gotten worse: all that information exposed to the public has to have at least given some people motivation to committ some crimes. Hopefully it's against the technology oligarchs and not a common citizen like you. Azzy told you about how she got stabbed once in Seattle. Said it hurt like a bitch. Even had the scar to tell, but she wouldn't show you because apparently "you're a pervert if you want to see something like that." You really hope Azzy isn't at the apartment tonight. Today has been a tiring day and you need to let off some steam. Hopefully, and you honest to god have been praying, someone emailed you a job. It would be a great ending to a pretty average day.

You finally reach the fifth floor, the final floor in the building. They always say the top floors get the best view, but the view you get is of your building neighbors hitting and fucking each other, in that order too. As you walk down the hallway, you can already tell Azzy isn't in the apartment - no inconspicuous trash bag in front of your door means no roommate, so you're free from her "lovely" embrace for a little while.

"She's crazy" and "She's a freak" and she never comes out of her apartment". You don't like to make assumptions about people until you get to know them, so of course, you hacked her. Dawn is a former University of Washington college professor turned agoraphobe. She suffered a nervous break during her tenth year of teaching and shut herself in her apartment. The rumors surrounding it were endless - she had been abused by her ex-husband, sexually assaulted by a student, one person even claimed she accidentally locked herself in and didn't have the guts to tell someone. And even with all your snooping and hacking, you couldn't figure it out either. She had shut off all communication with everyone, deleted her social media, wiped herself completely off the Earth. For all you know, you're the only person she talks to (which only started because you got her mail once). But once that began, you've started helping her with errands. You're not sure why though, you're not really getting anything out of it.

In his interview, he claimed he wore the suit "to make an impression", but you later found out it was because he thought Big and Bigger Video Store was a euphemism, and that he was actually walking into a porn company. However, his claims that "he was big and strong" and "no hole is a match for him" landed him a job at the video store, and for some reason, he hasn't left. Danny isn't a bad guy; he's actually pretty sweet. His stupidity and "himbo" personality can be a bit irritating, but conversations with him are never dull. Chuck likes him too, and surprisingly doesn't use his stupidity against him to swindle him out of money. Danny rarely works in the front - he's prety much in the back doing stocking, organization, or helping with donations. Rob keeps him in the back because he's afraid Danny is going to weird out the customers. Surprisingly though, Danny is pretty charming, and when he does find himself up front, he gets along with virtually everyone. You've never tried to hack Danny - to be honest, you've never really had to. He has pretty big thumbs, so he always finds a way to accidentally message the group chat something he shouldn't have, and he has a pretty big mouth too, talking all about his pornstar dreams and aspirations. When no one's looking, you sometimes find Danny watching some of the adult films in the store. Most likely tidying up his technique. <center><<button [[CLOSE|DANNY]]>> <</button>></center>

Even before the leak, if you looked up "calypso toomanyfans leak", you'd find plenty. This image was ripped off a porn image site, and there are plenty more like it. Cali "Calypso" Dawson is the child of two ''extremely'' wealthy Seattlites - NEVERMORE's Chief Operations Officer Katherine Dawson and NEVERMORE's Application Security Engineer Bob Dawson. Mr. Dawson and Mrs. Dawson were both affected heavily by the "Big Leak", especially Mrs. Dawson, whose job was to literally keep it from happening. Both Mr. Dawson and Mrs. Dawson were understandably let go, and with the eventual fall of technology stocks, it didn't look good for the Dawson family. So, Calypso decided to save the world - by doing porn. Well, not really porn. Just camsite stuff and TooManyFans. Luckily, this was before the leak, so her private information was safe. But in the world of pornography, if you post it, it's going to get leaked somehow. Eventually, porn just didn't pay the bills, so now Calypso is here. That was months ago, and Calypso has been an... active... coworker. Calypso complains. A lot. She's a 19 year old whose never had a job and who lives with her wealthy parents, she's bound to complain. You get it though, this place sucks, you sometimes wish you could complain as much as she does. Despite all that, she's okay. She slacks and groans, complains about the most basic things, and is very dramatic... but she's entertaining. Plus, she's kind of cute. Would you ever try to get with her? Maybe.

But it's good to know that Chuck won't be getting arrested, unless he stole someone's property (which has a high chance to be a reality). <<speech "you" "$player_name">>I'm sorry, I don't know anything about that.

I don't know about the list though, you might have to talk to Chuck or Rob about that, but I'll be right back.<</speech>> Turning around, you make for the office (maybe a little too quickly). You're not stupid. You know exactly what they're looking for. Donation, employee training program, outside source... they're fucking looking for INCUBUS.

And make sure she doesn't say your name or anything, call from my phone. And you need to make it look like you've been off for the past, like, week. And maybe don't come to work too much this week, okay?<</speech>> These guys aren't regular cops, and it's better if you give them what they want now. If you had said no, they probably would've just hacked you and found what they wanted - Luckily, you can manipulate the information if you just comply and do what they say.

I know you've been looking for someone since Carl passed. Should send flowers to his wife soon btw. From the workers. I'll set something up. But Danny thought Big and Bigger Video Store was an adult film studio. Came in and talked about how long he was and how satisfied he would leave the customers. Not sure he knows we only sell dvd and vhs and adult films, not make them. Not very smart, but strong. Stupid but big muscles. Donations have been stocking up. Need someone to work. Should we hire Danny? Reply soon.

I don't really like cops and they were pretty serious about the questions, so... thanks for helping me out...<</speech>> She nervously brushes her hair behind her ears and looks away. You feel your own cheeks getting hot and your heart beating a little faster. You never really saw Calypso as anything but your annoying coworker, but she's honestly pretty cute. You nervously laugh. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>Hey, don't worry about it. I'm here to help, and they were being pretty shitty anyway. Oh, and I'm back on now, by the way.

You can always ask Chuck to leave early, but I don't know if he's still here.<</speech>><<if $warnedcustomers is true>> You didn't have the heart to tell her that the only reason you were there is because you were pushed into a shelf, so you'll take the brownie points and go.

The fact they were asking about INCUBUS and donations means they're onto you somehow. Luckily you were able to delete Danny from the system, which means they won't be able to contact or figure out he works here... because if they're really Abaddon Industries, then that means they also have INCUBUS, which means they're just as powerful as you, maybe even more. But if they come back and Danny is here... he'll start spouting his mouth and talking about "red DVDs" and "demon box covers" and "conversations with a coworker" and next thing you know, he's confessing that after talking to you, the DVD disappeared, which //does not// put a good light on you. Fuck. This is //really// bad. You might have no choice but to fall back a little bit, slow down on the INCUBUS hacking... fuck. Everything is so complicated now. How'd they find out?

Cops, Chuck, Calypso... these three Cs have caused a majority of your stress today. Hopefully now that you're out of there, you can finally wind down and breathe in the fresh, Seattle air. While you desperately want to ruminate over the potential possibility of getting caught by Abaddon Industries and the also high likelihood you're being followed this very second... it's better if you just don't think about it. There is no reason to worry right now.

Honestly, the shopping list looks more like someone preparing for an apocalypse compared to someone who locked themselves in their apartment. Why does Dawn need so many rolls of duct-tape, bars of soap, and plastic wrap? Did Dawn murder someone, is that why she's locked in her apartment? You're gonna seem like such a freak walking up to the cash register. Oh shit, is she going to murder you? Okay, now you sound insane. Dawn has been nicer than anyone you've ever met, plus she's literally locked in her apartment. If she wanted to kill you, she could've shot a gun through your conjoining walls while you watched television or stabbed you the last time you dropped off her groceries. Yeah, Dawn is definitely not a murderer, at least not the murderer of you. A murderer of someone, though... that's up in the air. Maybe it's time you stop zoning out and actually do what you came here to do... would help put your mind at ease for a little bit. <center><<button [[GET THE GOODS]]>><<set $money -= 157>><</button>></center></div>

Lucky for you, you just completed a job, so as far as anyone is concerned, you're rolling in dough. The walk to the apartment was very relaxing. You've always been a winter person - Indiana had relatively cold winters, but the summers and the springs always notified the family it was farming time. All that hard work made you dread summer and appreciate winter. While you don't miss the farm, you do miss your family - you hate to admit it, but you sometimes question your decision coming to Seattle. At least Seattle has the cold and rainy weather you enjoy so much. Of course, your landlord still hasn't fixed the front door //or// the elevator.

It's been a good number of months since the Big Leak so you're happy you can walk through the street without having to maneuver through violent riots and police intervention. Now it's just the ocassional flier handers. Today, you've only been handed around 5, which is an all-time low, and since the scenery isn't the greatest this time of year, you've taken to using the fliers as reading material. Apparently some group has a monopoly on the "FUCKNEVERMORE" industry since there's been an uptick in anti-NEVERMORE fliers; everywhere you look there's a new red, black, or white flier aiming to "SAVE SOCIETY" or "MAKE NEVERMORE PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES." You can't blame people for going nuts about the Big Leak, but right now you're trying to keep your head down. You have in possession one of the most useful hacking tools in existence, so whatever caused the Big Leak had to be on the same level as INCUBUS, and you //really// don't want to be suspected. You're about to hit the corner when you hear someone call out to you. <<speech "cherry" "Cherry">>Lookin' good, pretty boy!<</speech>> <center><<button [[MEET CHERRY!]]>><</button>></center></div>

She also says "your favorite gal", "street meat", and "your side hoe", which really isn't any better than "prostitute" (honestly probably worse). You started going this way since it was quicker than the usual route you take to work, but since it goes through Pioneer Square (the Skidrow of Seattle), you've started meeting some interesting characters, Cherry being one of them. Her pimp doesn't let her keep an advanced mobile phone, so most of what you've learned has been through word of mouth, or from her attempting to flirt with you. You know her name's actually Carol Lloyd, she's a mother of 2 younger boys, and actually used to be a professional model (found some images on the left). Then, as with everyone who lives on the street, drugs happened. Politics and social ethics aside, you kinda feel bad for her - she definitely didn't want to get into this kind of work, so you always try to give her a little something when you pass by. And no, not your penis. A couple bucks, some extra food, a water if you have it, anything to keep her going. November's a pretty chilly month, so lately it's been clothes to stay warm. Trying to put some good karma into the Universe. <center><<button [[CLOSE|CHERRYTALK]]>><</button>></center>

I'll come by some other time and bring you some food or something as an apology. How's McDonalds sound?<</speech>> She looks a little disappointed - you're not sure if it's because she wanted to talk to you or have sex with you, but she better respond quick before you leave her behind. She drops the act for a moment and gets more serious, a mask of misery appearing on her face. <<speech "cherry" "Cherry">>Thanks for that, but business is slow right now, and the boss doesn't really like McDonald's as payment.<</speech>> She looks past you. You turn around and notice an unusual amount of police officers. <<speech "cherry" "Cherry">>Fuck... cops have been surrounding the block every since the computer stuff, so not a lot of people come this way. You do a lot for me and for my sons, and... I just... a couple 100s would help a lot. Something to... explain myself to him, you know?<</speech>> You stop and give her a lookover. She's skinny, but you can see the indents of her joints through her skin, her knees looking more angular than usual. Her sunken cheekbones are badly stained with blush, and haphazard mascar clumps around her lashes. You look at her left arm and notice a fresh bruise. <<speech "cherry" "Cherry">>Please... it would help me and my sons so much. You're a kind guy, and... just... please.<</speech>> <center><<button [[GIVE HER $500]]>><<set $emergencyfund -= 500>><</button>> <<button [[DON'T GIVE HER ANYTHING]]>><</button>></center></div>

She always refusing the food, clothes, and cash you give her, but you insist everytime. Although you do worry that once you give her this cash, she'll ask for more later... but right now, that doesn't matter. Today, it's about putting some good into the <span class='green'>Universe.</span> You have some emergency cash if things ever got bad. Keeping it on your person is a pretty bad idea, but it's emergency for a reason. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>Here's $500. I hope that's enough.<</speech>> You pull out some $100 bills from your backpack. Cherry stares at the wad of bills in your hand. Slowly, she reaches out and grabs it, a stunned expression spreading across her face as she examines it. Finally, realizing that she's not in the best part of town, she shoves it into her small purse. In an instant, she's hugging you. <<speech "cherry" "Cherry">>Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how much this helps me! I don't know how I can repay you, I'll give you discounts on everything, on every part of my body, you can do anything to me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!<</speech>> You're hesitant on hugging back, but eventually you decide to at least pat her. You can feel her spine and her bony arms as she tightens her embrace. You're not really listening to what she's saying, but the jist of it is mainly "Thank yous" and various other compliments. She finally releases you, and her eyes are red from crying. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>Don't worry about it, Cherry. Just... stay safe, okay? Be good, don't go fucking with the wrong people, alright?<</speech>> She nods, wiping the snot from her nose. As you leave, you hear Cherry yell a few more compliments and words of thanks. <center><span class="money"> $500 HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM YOUR EMERGENCY FUNDS </span></center> <center><<button [[ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER SHIFT]]>><</button>></center></div>

It's hard enough with the leak already, and the money you just recently got might just help you in the long run. Sometimes you gotta look out for yourself, and that's not a matter of good or bad. You've already done a lot for Cherry, you're sure the <span class='green'>Universe</span> will understand where you're coming from. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>I'm sorry, Cherry, but I don't have a lot of money, especially on me. I haven't gotten paid in a while and-<</speech>> <<speech "cherry" "Cherry">>No, no, no, it's okay. I'm sorry for asking, you already do so much for me, I shouldn't have said anything. Thank you. I'm sorry.<</speech>> Before you can get another word in and explain yourself, she turns and walks away, presumably looking for other customers. Half of you feels bad, but the other half knows that you didn't really have a choice. It's just one woman - you help a lot of people with your hacking career, so it doesn't set you back too much karma-wise. You get ready to look, looking back one more time to try to spot Cherry. <center><<button [[ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER SHIFT]]>><</button>></center></div>

You didn't know anyone, were working at a (still) shitty job, and you just found out that your roommate was not at all what you expected. So you resorted to dating apps, figuring that maybe you could make some friends, or maybe even get a girlfriend if you're lucky! Hacking the dating app didn't take too much work, so you matched with people relatively quickly. While you went on dates, learned way too much about people (not by asking, but by hacking them of course), and got ghosted a bunch, you never really hit gold. Plus people weren't really looking for friends to hang out with, mainly just people to hook up with... but deep down, you've always been kind of a lover, not one to embrace the modern day hookup culture. And then came Flora. She was funny, charming, (kind of) smart , and of course, hot as hell... too bad she had a boyfriend. Well, an on-and-off again boyfriend. Not like it mattered in the moment, but once you guys had sex on the first date, it all came crashing down when they got back together. It hurt to see, but there are other fish in the sea, other girls to pursue. Then again, you can always hack her boyfriend, put his name and number on a couple of white supremacist forums, make it look like he's going to committ a terrorist act on American soil, and potentially get him arrested. But who would do that? <center><<button [[CLOSE|FLORAENT]]>><</button>></center>

You can't deny you probably messed up a little bit trying to screw her boyfriend over, but can you really blame a guy? He was a dick anyway, and they were horrible for each other - it was going to end eventually, you kinda just quickened the pace. You just didn't expect her to like him //this// much. Your first problem was trying to sound cool on the first date, bragging about how you were a computer whiz and shit. Now she caught onto you and knows that you at least have the capability of hacking. You definitely //are not// going to respond to her, and you are //not// going to be home tonight. Looks like you have to find other places to be. Luckily, you're smart, and unless the police have sufficent evidence against you, there is no way they can hack or enter your apartment. Of course, Flora is going to bring up your name, but a jealous ex won't hold up against Neo-Nazi terrorism allegations. You were thorough in making sure this guy at least will have a trial. Unless Flora does something //really, really, really// bad, you shouldn't be too worried. You'll deal with it when it comes. <center><<button [[CHECK ON CHUCK]]>><</button>></center></div>

There's a general lull in the evening; less crime and protesting in the streets, so there's no need to worry about being jumped or questioned by the police. For a moment, it almost seems like you're not technically a criminal. However, this thought quickly is replaced by anxiety as you near the club. There are a couple of police officers having a conversation with a rowdy group of protesters. It hasn't escalated yet, but it's bound to get serious quick. <<speech "danny" "Danny">>Yo, $player_name! What's up, man!<</speech>> You hear Danny yell your name, appearing from from within the police group. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>What the hell, dude? Why were you talking to the cops?<</speech>> <<speech "danny" "Danny">>Huh? Oh, I don't know. I saw all 'em talking and I thought it was like a big group or something, dudes I could hang with before you got here.<</speech>> <<speech "you" "$player_name">>You didn't see the cops?<</speech>> <<speech "danny" "Danny">>I thought those were male strippers.<</speech>> This is the exact reason you're so afraid for Danny to interact with the police. He's such a dumbass that he could easily spill your secrets out to everyone. You've seen his interactions on the groupchat, how he big-thumbs even simple conversations. He's a threat in the worst kind of way. <<speech "calypso" "Calypso">>Y-M-C-A!! P-A-R-T-Y!! Time to get down!! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!<</speech>> Calypso appears out of nowhere and starts doing an uncoordinated dance in the middle of the street. Inspired by her public act of defiance, Danny also starts to get down, doing something that looks like a mix between the robot and the sprinkler. They then start dancing up against you whilst singing a bad cover of //YMCA//. <center><<button [[GUESS IT'S TIME TO DANCE]]>><</button>></center></div>

<<run UIBar.stow()>><div style='width: 839px; padding: 20px; border: 3px solid white; background-color: black; position: relative;'><<include 'topbarnormcore'>><hr style="border-top: dotted 1px; color: white;"/>Getting into the club isn't too much of an issue - the bouncer only glanced at the actual ID for a second; he was pretty occupied with Danny harassing him about if "bouncers got guns". For such an idiot, you sometimes wonder if that whole thing was just a calculated way to distract the bouncer from realizing Calypso's ID was fake. That thought vanishes as soon as Danny gets into the club - like a heat-seeking missile, he zones in on the first woman he sees: a tall, dark haired woman who definitely is dealing with some divorce issues. The club isn't too busy this time of day since it only about hit night, but you know it's going to start getting a lot busier. <<speech "calypso" "Calypso">>Come on, $player_name, let's hit the bar! Danny can go get rejected while we DRINK it up!!!!<</speech>> Calypso grabs you by the hand and drags you through the crowd to the bar. You're not really a drinker, but drinking with Calypso might make it more likely she'll start talking about the "police" from earlier. The two of you reach the bar, and like a true alcoholic, Calypso starts harassing the bartender. <<speech "calypso" "Calypso">>Can I get two shots of vodka please? Titos if you got it... no Titos? How about... Skyy? What the fuck do you mean "we don't sell cheap vodka"?<</speech>> While Calypso argues with the bartender, you take a look around your surroundings. You're not really one to go to nightclubs - the forced social contact, crowded atmosphere, and general chaos turns you off a little bit. There's a lot of opportunity to hack people, but it's just not worth it. Purple, blue, and pink neon lights energize the dance floor, and you swear you see Danny dancing up on the woman from earlier. <<speech "calypso" "Calypso">>Alrighty!! They didn't have anything I like, so we'll be downing some... bleh... Grey Goose.<</speech>> She slides a shot over to you. "Excitedly", you grab it. Calypso watches you like an excited puppy, waiting for you to drink. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Uh... cheers?<</speech>> <<speech "calypso" "Calypso">>Cheers!<</speech>> She downs it, and you quickly follow her lead. Tastes like piss. Lucky for you, she decides to order another. And another. And then another.

Looks like he has pretty good connections with his place, doubt you can do much to convince him to move out of the way. "Manager of Bouncer Activities" sounds stupid, maybe you can hack a name change. Now the hard part. With INCUBUS, you could easily do an IP scan, find the IP associated with the phone number, do a TRAFFIC search, and boom, you're in. Without INCUBUS, it makes things a little harder... actually, more like a lot. Luckily, you have his SIM card, so you pretty much own him. You doubt this DJ has a SIM card cloner on his laptop, unless he's secretly a hacker working at a nightclub. You'll have to download one yourself. Typically, you wouldn't go on the Rat Burrow TrojanHorse forum in a public setting on a public laptop, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Let's just hope today isn't the day they decide to launch a terrorist attack or leak top secret government documents. Fuck, you wish this was easier - you're probably just making this harder than it needs to be. You could've done 100 other things... Danny could've faked a heart attack, gotten the bouncer to move, then you coulda moved Calypso in really quick... But honestly, deep down, you knew how this was going to go from the very beginning - you in front of a computer, invading some poor person's privacy just because they were in the way of something you think is bigger than them. <span class='green'>You can't help yourself, can you?</span> Whatever, you're losing time.

Therefore, we must deny payment. As your Regence Medical Representative, I highly recommend you switch to a more well-known treatment plan.

OR If you gave Cherry $500: * Go to the 'ALLEY' and 'APPROACH THE PROSTITUTES' * Go to 'GET THEIR HELP' * Either 'PAY THEM (-$500)' or leave, go back, and go to 'FUCK YUZU (-$300)' and then go to 'FUCK DRAGON (-$150)', then talk to them again and go to 'MAKE A DEAL' OR You need to 'SEND THEM IMAGES' in order to get the Asians help: * Go to the 'ALLEY' and 'APPROACH THE GROUP' * Go to 'SEND THEM IMAGES' (WARNING: if Yuzu intervenes when you get the roofies, you will be unable to get their help). * Go back and 'GET THEIR HELP' Now once you have your preferred means of getting the DJ to leave: * Go to the 'DANCEFLOOR' and choose whoevers help you want. * --> REFER TO 'CHOOSE WHO TO HACK' --- //Choose who to hack// --- Both routes have the same beginning stage, but once you're in the system, the routes diverge.

It's still gonna be a bitch to clean up, but it's better than oming home to a burned down apartment. Let's hope you don't wake up to a bunch of cops outside your door. Surprisingly, no Azzy. She's been gone a while now, but you're not complaining. You need the rest, and if she was in the apartment, she would've found a way to make your life hell. Still, deep down, you're getting a little worried - you've never been really aware of what she does for work, so for all you know she might be in a ditch somewhere in South Seattle... but honestly, right now you just want to sleep. You enter your apartment, empty your pockets, take your clothes off, and fall into your bed. You've always complained about how shitty your mattress is, but in this moment, it's the greatest thing you've ever slept on. <center><<button [[GOOD NIGHT!]]>><</button>></center></div>

Meeting Molly better be worth it, you could've slept in a little bit longer before work tonight. You wonder if Chuck'll be there... probably not, since he's under the assumption the police are after him. Eventually, you reach Coffee Captain. You're not an avid coffee drinker, so this entire place is new to you... to be honest, this entire area of Seattle is pretty new to you. Pike is relatively fancy and filled with tourists thanks to Pike Place. You feel out of place, like everyone is watching you. After some mental and physical preparation, you enter the café. Not surprisingly, it's pretty busy. You scan the place, looking for Molly. There are a lot of blonde people here, so you're kinda having a difficult time. <<say '...'>>Hey! Over here!<</say>> You turn and see a blonde girl sitting on a tall stool. She waves at you, beckoning you to sit next to her. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>How are you? Glad you found this place okay! I got you some coffee in case you needed the pick me up.<</say>> She hands you a paper cup filled with "liquid gold." You set it down next to you - you're still a little wary on Molly's motives, so you're not gonna start drinking anything she gives you. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Don't worry, I won't drug you. I thought we could have a regular conversation, no ecstasy involved!<</say>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Oh... yeah, sorry, I've had a rough couple days, so I guess I'm a little on edge.<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>I get it! But don't worry, I'm not the enemy. We're just here to talk!<</say>> She's awfully cheery for a girl who hasn't told you anything... now that you look at her, she's a lot older than you remember. She looked young in the club, but in the café she definitely looks like she's hitting her mid 30s. Man, alcohol and drugs really fuck up your perception. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>You're probably wondering why I brought here today... haha, look at me! I sound like I'm giving a presentation!<</say>> Can this girl get to the fucking point? <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Okay, okay, haha, sorry... so... last night... what you and me did... that was... was... you and me...<</say>> She's constantly jumbling over her words; you're starting to lose your patience... Eventually, she takes a sip of her coffee and takes a deep breathe. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>I'm sorry... all of this... these feelings... they're really new to me! I'm just so... excited! Ahhh!<</say>> What? <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Okay... okay... So, last night, what we did... we... connected. And I feel... I feel like we connected on a higher level than anything I've ever experienced. It was so high, that I bet if we hadn't taken those drugs, our connection still would've been beyond this plane. So, what I'm saying is... is that... I genuinely think you and me are astral soulmates! And.., and after last night, we officially bound our souls together! We ''literally'' became one! Even right now, I can feel the strands of existence intertwining! Our bodies, our souls, our love were meant for each other! Can you feel the energy?<</say>> You stare at her, dumbfounded. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you... proposing to me?<</speech>> She stares at you for a second before laughing. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>I'm sorry, if it's a lot for me then it must be even BIGGER for you! I forget that you're still new to ecstasy and all the love stuf and energy stuff, but that's why I'm here to show you the path. The whole point is is that you and me... we work well with each other. Our minds, our bodies, our energies are on the same wavelength, which means we are basically the perfect team. Astral soulmates, twin flames, mirror souls, whatever you want to call it, it means all the same thing... we compliment each other //perfectly//. It's a rare occurence, and... and I've never experienced it before, but I ''know'' it when I feel it!<</say>> Guess the molly doesn't make her act this way - it's just her personality. What this means in terms of your "business" meeting, you're not quite sure. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>And don't worry, I'm not proposing. I'm not really into society-based monogamy.<</say>> Good to hear? You kind of understand what she's saying, but you're really not here to learn about new-age spiritualism. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, I appreciate everything you said and I, like, kinda get it... but you wanted to talk to me about business right? You wanted to explain stuff to me? Is the "astral projection" stuff what you wanted to talk about?<</speech>> She looks a little annoyed about your obvious misunderstanding of neospirituality, but she doesn't let it bother her. Instead, she reaches into her back and pulls a flier out. It kind of looks similar to what you get handed on the street. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Here, read this.<</say>> <span id='replace'><center><<button 'READ THE FLIER'>>\ <<replace '#replace'>>\ <center><img src='images/objects/flier.png'></center> You look up at her. She looks back at you, expecting some sort of reaction. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So... like... what does this mean?<</speech>> She laughs and points at something on the paper: ''F*CKNEVERMORE.'' You've heard of them before, seen them referenced on forums - you've always assumed them to be a small grassroots group, nothing compared to political activists like Antifa or the Proud Boys. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, I've heard of them. Anti-tech, anti-NEVERMORE... you know, I'm pretty sure I got this same exact flier a couple days ago-<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Well, they're actually why we're meeting right now... because I want you to help me... help us.<</say>> Oh. You're being recruited. Because you had sex with her. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Oh... um... I don't... Okay, look, thank you for thinking of me and stuff, but I don't think I'm a good fit for your, um, group...<</speech>> She leans forward and grabs your hands. Her skin is awfully warm. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>I know we only met yesterday, but you and me are meant to work with each other! We are ''literally'' astral soulmates... we are ''undeniable'' proof that human beings are connected beyond our physical and emotional limitations. If you and me properly became one to work against NEVERMORE, we would be //unstoppable.// FUCKNEVERMORE would be able to be able to live up to it's name.<</say>> What is the deal with women being absolutely nuts about you? Why doesn't Skye act this way? Why is it always the girls you aren't really that interested in? Anti-NEVERMORE or not, a day younger, more naive you would've jumped on this opportunity to improve your skills and make something of yourself... However, an wiser you doesn't think it'd be a smart idea to meddle with a group who is directly linked with the company you are trying to escape from. You literally just said hours earlier that you would lay low - this is not ''not'' laying low. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Molly, I really appreciate the offer but... you don't even, like, //know// me. You have no idea what my job is, what my talents are, what I can bring to the FUCKNEVERMORE table, you don't even know my name. For all you know I could be working for NEVERMORE as an intern or something. How did your group even let you talk to me? This has to be against several codes of conduct.<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Don't worry, they're all cool with it. It took a lot of talking, but I think they understand our connection. And I don't need to know your talents or what you can bring to FUCKNEVERMORE... we are literally one... we uplift, improve, and change each other. What I've learned to do, you can also learn.<</say>> Destroying NEVERMORE is an impossible feat... you joining their team wouldn't make their goal any easier. This isn't //Fight Club// or //Mr. Robot//... this is real life. Your life. You move your hands away. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Like I said, thanks for thinking about me but... I'm good. I'm sure there are other "astral people" out there for you who would love to jump on this, but I can't be messing around with that stuff. Thanks for the coffee.<</speech>> You grab your coffee and get up. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>...Okay. But keep the flier... and if you change your mind, text me, okay? We are connected, astral soulmate. I know you'll be back... the <span style='color: #39ff14;'>Universe</span> doesn't lie.<</say>> She hands you the flier, giving a sad smile. As you leave, <span style='color: #39ff14;'>something</span> pulls you back to the seat, but you fight back. You can't. You have to lay low. <center><<button [[LAY LOW]]>><</button>></center> <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span></div>\

Surprisingly, no Azzy once again. If it was a less abusive and emotionally manipulative person, you'd be calling the police and filling out a missing person's report... but since it's Azzy, you don't really mind if she's gone for a couple weeks. You do hope that she keeps paying the monthly rent though - but only for a day, she can disappear for a little longer after that. Now that you've decided to lay low and quit hacking people, you feel a little... bored. Cleaning up the apartment would be a nice start to your newfound freedom, but that's not fun. Catching up on some shows and movies could be nice, but you're not quite sure what you want to watch. You finally decide to just dick around on your computer, explore the World Wide Web for a tiny bit before work. Settling into your chair, you ruminate on what you should do... <center><<button [[EXPLORE THE WORLD WIDE WEB!]]>><</button>></center></div>

That was the justification for relapse: determine if she was a spy or not. In reality, that would probably be a very bad idea - if she was a spy, she would definitely be waiting for you hack her. She could easily open up a honeypot for you to dip your fingers into... that was the rational part of your brain talking, the one not overcome by an incessant hacking addiction. Therefore, based on that knowledge, you will //not// be using INCUBUS... if she was a NEVERMORE spy, there would be all kinds of parameters in place to monitor INCUBUS usage. Guess you'll have to go back to your roots. Hey, you're still laying low right? Being safe is just a milder version, so you should be fine. <span id='replace'><center><<button "GET INFORMATION ON 'MOLLY'">>\ <<replace '#replace'>>\ A quick search of Molly's number yields no results - typical, you doubt a member of FUCKNEVERMORE would be sloppy enough to have their information in plainview.

And you are about to clock in in a normal fashion. Nothing criminal about you. You have nothing to hide. <<say '...'>>YOU'RE LATE.<</say>> Your first thought is: <center>"They found me." </center> You think of all the different escape routes, the potential ways you could interrupt their attempts to grab and strangle you, how you were going to explain to Azzy why you're not going to be her roommate anymore (thank god). If you run for it now, you'll probably get a good couple feet... until they shoot you. They probably have the place surrounded... it was definitely Molly, she got you fair and square. Man, you can't trust anyone nowadays... <<say '...'>>DID YOU HEAR ME? YOU'RE LATE.<</say>> Your second thought is: "Jesus, you're alive?" <<say 'Rob' 'images/avatars/rob.jpg'>>ARE YOU HIGH? CLOCK IN!<</say>> This is one of the only times you've ever been happy to see Rob. Then again, you haven't seen him enough to count the times you've been upset.

GET HERE ON TIME OR I'LL FIRE YOU!<</say>> He sits back down to eat his peanuts or whatever old people eat. Skye described Rob as vampiric, which isn't entirely wrong... thing is, he's definitely not strong enough to suck your blood. He's old, pale, and skinny... you bet if you gave him a Jolly Rancher, he'd die after a single lick. It makes sense he'd be here though... Chuck's surprise disappearance needed a replacement, and you don't have anyone else other than Rob to help run the store. Looks like Rob is gonna have to bite the Jolly Rancher and deal with the consequences of your actions. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>What's up, man? You gotta take over, I need a break.<</speech>> It must be the fact that you've decided to live a hacking free life, but Skye is looking 100x more beautiful today. Maybe you should contact Molly about getting some love crystals or something. You feel your heart starting to skip a few beats and suddenly, your nerves get to you. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, of course! Come, take your break, get a water, hang out with Rob, do your thing! I'll get everything done, hah!<</speech>> <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Wow, you're really happy... you takin' Adderall too? Danny was going on a whole thing about it today.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Oh! Uh, no! Of course not, I would never do that stuff! I guess it's just been a while since I've seen you!<</speech>> Skye laughs, but you don't see her blush or look away romantically after prolonged eye contact, so it must be a pity laugh. Jesus, maybe you should get on Adderall, might help your nerves around her. Why are you so nervous all of a sudden anyways? Maybe it's cause of everything that happened with Calypso... Shit, Calypso. You completely forgot about that... hopefully it doesn't cause a whole workplace scandal or make things uncomfortable between you two - fuck, it definitely will given the nature of her obsession with you. Plus, you confessed you liked her too... great fucking job. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Rob wants you to do some stocking since Danny's gone. And just clean up around the place. It's slow as fuck, so you shouldn't need help... yeaaahhhh, I thinnnnnk that's it. A lady might come in later asking for a movie on hold, but.. yeah. Boring day.

You fucked my daughter and then tried to rob me. <<if visited("SAFEESCAPE") or visited("WINDOWESCAPE")>>You were smart, but you weren't smart enough if I found you.<<elseif visited("GUNEESCAPE") or visited("TACKLEESCAPE") or visited("GUNWINDOWESCAPE") or visited("BADWINDOWESCAPE")>>You weren't difficult to find.

Do not make this interaction anymore difficult.<</say>> You're starting to think you're not a regular human being. You have no idea what to say. She doesn't work for NEVERMORE or Abaddon Industries (anymore), so she can't possibly be here to turn you in... unless turning you in means a way back into her old job. You know for a fact you can't explicity admit to anything unless you know for a fact having a conversation with this woman won't cause a SWAT team to shoot you on sight... but you can always tell half the truth. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>><<if visited("DRG7") or visited("PDRG8") or visited("RRG7") or visited("DRB7")>>Okay, yeah, Calypso and I... did stuff, but I didn't have sex with her!

You momentarily brace yourself for a bullet through the head, but based on how the world doesn't immediately go black, you guess she's not going to turn you in (yet). <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>She told me that you had relations with her and then disappeared in the morning.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...That's it?

You have zero evidence connecting me to a supposed robber. Look, you can even search me... whatever the robber took, I don't have it, I swear. I'm sorry about everything with Calypso, but I promise you I didn't do anything to hurt her! I think she's a cute girl! Do you want me to start dating her or something? I can do that!<</speech>> Her steel-grey eyes look you up and down; you can feel her gaze examining your insides, like she's searching your very soul. Her eyes narrow. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Yesterday, police came to this location and questioned my daughter about me and my husband. These questions were very invasive, a lot more personal than the usual questions police officers would ask. It almost seemed like these police officers directly targetted my daughter at her workplace. A couple hours later, my daughter brings a boy home. This boy doesn't steal anything of value like jewelry or money. Instead, he spends most of his time exploring the home, searching every nook and cranny for something in particular... until he finds it. Maybe it was by chance... or maybe he was able to discern it's location by noticing patterns that a typical robber wouldn't notice. This object is of specific value, but it is connected to the same thing the police were questioning my daughter about. How would you feel if someone asked you about something and only mere hours later, you find that someone was messing with that exact same thing... that would be quite peculiar.<</speech>> She didn't blink a single time during the entirety of her monologue. The air in the room drops a few degrees. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You're impatient, sloppy, and lack self-control... you didn't bother to make it seem like you and the robber were two different people: no attempt at faking forced entry, stealing prized artifacts, or even tripping an alarm. While you think words hold evidential weight, in reality it's actions, patterns, and physical evidence that are far superior. You were focused entirely on the goal of your crusade that you failed to realize that I am far more intelligent, far more skilled, and far more dangerous than you could anticipate... which causes me to wonder why Abaddon would hire you to rob me.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...huh?<</speech>> Katherine stares at you, the gears slowly churning in her head. Your confusion must've triggered something in her. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Wait.<</speech>> The air in the room changes, but not for the worse. You feel like Katherine is less antagonistic now, meaning she's less likely to shoot you in the head. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>They wouldn't stoop that low... you're too..<</speech>> Suddenly, it's like something clicks. For once, Katherine expresses an emotion besides malice - surprise. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>...INCUBUS.<</speech>> You don't say anything, but your lack of a response says everything that she needs to know. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>That was your plan then. Get information from Calypso, the daughter of Katherine Dawson, former NEVERMORE employee, and then break into my house to steal the laptop... which would mean you somehow know about my job.<</speech>> You feel a lot more cornered than you did earlier. You're not sure what she's doing, but you have a feeling this isn't going to turn out great for you in any form. Maybe if you get on your knees and beg... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, Katherine, I-<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Shut up. You should be happy that you weren't who I thought you were.<</speech>> She backs up in order to give you a little wiggle room. Still, she blocks you from leaving. You still have the cleaning mop in your hand, which might be useful as a weapon, but you're pretty sure a mop isn't gonna cut it (unless she's scared of dirty water). <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I don't need to explain to you how much trouble you would be in if Abaddon or NEVERMORE found out about your existence. Therefore, you are in no place to make ''any'' demands. You work for me now.<</speech>> She doesn't wait for a response. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>While I still believe you're careless and disorderly, you're not stupid: that doesn't imply that I'm complimenting you, only that you're more useful to me alive than dead, so I won't be turning you in. Now... INCUBUS.<</speech>> She really isn't wrong; you are pretty careless and disorderly, that's pretty much how you got yourself into this situation. You guess you were never really meant for a regular life... you're always going to be pulled back in somehow. Still, it's good to know that Katherine won't be turning you in. However, you feel like it you avoid her questions, Katherine could easily chew you up and spit you back out for the wolves. It's a bit jarring to outright converse with Katherine about this stuff though... you don't think you've ever told anyone outright about INCUBUS. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Someone... someone left a DVD here, red case, demon on the front... I've heard about DVDs like that on forums and stuff, about how the military or something had some super secret hacking tool, so I took it and uploaded it onto my computer... I didn't know it would get ''this'' bad though. I honestly just used it to hack people for money... I didn't do ''any'' of that crazy shit like the Big Leak or the banking shit or hacking NEVERMORE. I swear to god.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I couldn't care less about what you use it for. What matter is that it works well.<</speech>> She doesn't care? Weird... but maybe it's for the best. If she cared, then this conversation would veer off the road //fast.// <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um, I guess it works. It makes my life a little easier... still, it... its got it's limits. Some things are better and somethings are worse...<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>So you have other hacking experience besides INCUBUS.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... before INCUBUS, I used normal scripts and stuff. I used to go to school for computer science and cyber security, but... things changed, I guess.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>And you don't work for Abaddon or NEVERMORE.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No... I don't.<</speech>> There is a slight release of tension in her shoulders, but it's only for a quick moment. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...um... wh-why do you ask?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I don't answer your questions. Rememeber, you work for me now.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But, like... what does that mean?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You ''work'' for me. You do what I say, or I tell NEVERMORE and Abaddon about INCUBUS.<</speech>> Great. Blackmail for the hundredth time. Who would've fuckin' thought? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But... like... what does that ''mean''? What am I doing for-<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You're going to destroy NEVERMORE.<</speech>> You let out a snort. Katherine doesn't take too kindly to your reaction and looks visibly annoyed. She has to see where you're coming from though. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>You're messing with me right?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>No.<</speech>> Unfortunately, she's being dead serious, and you're starting to realize how stupid of a request that is, especially for someone as (apparently) smart as her. From Molly you get, but from her? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I know you said no back-talking or whatever, but what you're asking me to do is... insane. You're giving me a suicide mission as an alternative to getting found out and executed... where's the logic in that? It's not a very good motivator, I'll tell you that much.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Would you prefer going out with a bang or dying slowly and sadly.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No inspirational quote is going to change how insane of an ask this is. There is absolutely zero chance I can go up against NEVERMORE and not get killed.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You have in your possession some of the most advanced hacking software in existence. What you have could destroy governments, states, even count-<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you serious? We're talking about INCUBUS right? You guys really have a tendency to hype up your shit, because INCUBUS is not what you're describing right now... it's a glorified pentester. Sure, you can break through firewall, remotely access a system, and transfer data all with an IP, but against a fucking trillion dollar company that literally excels in technology and also ''literally made INCUBUS?'' I'm gonna be fighting a gorilla with a toothpick. What you're asking me to do requires a team, a plan, and years and years and years of research, work, and ideas, and even after all that... you have to pull it off. You've seen //Mr. Robot// right? that took them, like, years! And people died in that show! They went to CHINA!<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''Lower your voice.''<</speech>> You //have// been increasing the volume of your voice for a while now, but the intensity of Katherine's voice makes you instinctively lower it. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Katherine, you're right, I don't wanna get caught, but fighting NEVERMORE is no better. Plus, NEVERMORE is a technology "conglomerate"... meaning they are a company with their claws in everything... stuff like healthcare and commerence. You destroy a company like that, it means the destruction of the United States of America. You're not only damning a couple managers, you're destroying the livelihood of millions of Americans who rely on that stuff.<</speech>> It's sad to say, but NEVERMORE, even with the horrible stuff they've done, really do help the American people. There would be major political, social, economic, and wordly repercussions if you even were able to do touch them. She hears you, but it doesn't seem she cares. To be honest, you're not really sure why Katherine is trying to destroy NEVERMORE anyway... is she really that mad at them firing her? <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Destroying doesn't always imply destruction or annihilation. You can knock them down a couple pegs, affect them in ways that will destroy their reputation for decades into the future.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Still, Katherine, I'm only one person, I can't-<</speech>> She pulls out a piece of paper and sets it on the table. Based on the red, black, and white ink, you already know what it is. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Them? They're a glorified grassroots campaign, the most they do is march on the streets and break some phones, you're asking for a lot more than just handing out fliers.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>While you are correct about their inability to enact change, some of them have the same vision as me... members within the group that are doing more than handing out fliers.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Like a secret society? You've got to be joking me.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''How many times do I have to tell you. I do not joke around.''NEVERMORE has always had them in their crosshairs, meaning they are the most optimal resource for my, and now your, goal. Go to their meetings and find out everything you need to know. That's your first job.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Katherine, please... this is a bad idea for both of us, and this plan is rickety at best... FUCKNEVERMORE isn't going to help us. Someone literally today tried to recruit me! And it's nothing compared to what you're trying to accomplish. Maybe, just maybe there's some secret society. It's "secret". I am not secret society material!<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''Make a choice, $player_name.''<</speech>> This is absolutely fucking insane. You were just living a normal, regular life, going about your day at work not involving yourself in any hacking schemes when this pops out of nowhere. Maybe it's on you for getting involved with Calypso or digging your nose where it doesn't belong... but right now, you have a choice: die or work with Katherine to destroy one of the leading innovators in technology and lifestyle. So much for fucking laying low. <center><<button [[FUCKING GREAT.|...NOW WHAT?]]>><</button>></center></div>

Katherine, obviously not happy with the answer, reluctantly accepted. She said she would message you for an answer, and if you don't reply in a day, she would send the authorities after you. You also reluctantly accepted those terms, and that was that. She left, leaving you to stand and think about what had just happened. The rest of the shift went smoothly... maybe too smoothly. Most of the time was not only spent organizing the shelves, but also glancing at the front door, waiting for Abbadon to break in and shoot you //and// Skye //and// Rob. You doubt they would take any prisoners. Nothing happened though. You clocked out, said bye to Rob (who grunted in reply), and awkwardly talked to Skye; unfortunately, you weren't able to spend too much time with her since your mind was elsewhere. And now, on your walk home, you kind of hope you get stabbed. Not really though. You just want a quick way out of this shit situation you find yourself in. Destroying NEVERMORE? Really? Destroying. NEVERMORE. ''Destroying. NEVERMORE.'' An absolutely impossible feat. Levels on levels on levels on levels of impossible. Even with FUCKNEVERMORE, this is a job that'll take years, maybe even decades... and the fallout? How can Katherine even justify the destruction of thousands of human lives? What is her real plan here? Getting rid of a worldwide corporation is //not// equal to getting fired. Man, she's got some major anger issues if that's really why she's doing this. Destroying NEVERMORE. Destroying NEVERMORE. Destroying NEVERMORE. The words keep running through your head. Everytime you repeat it, you swear you feel yourself getting more and more convinced of taking the job. Destroying NEVERMORE. <span class='green'>You were always meant for bigger things.</span> This will make you a better person... a good person...

Another buzz... Now that you think about it, what if it's a client? Although you are trying to stay low, it's not like one job would do you in... Your need to get paid trumps your need for peace and quiet as you roll out of the bed and land on the floor. You grab your phone from your pants and check the time: 2:00PM, good amount of sleep (you think, you're too tired to do the math). However, of higher interest are the number of phone calls from an unlisted number. Weird, but could just be telemarketers. Again comes the knocking, and despite your assessment of the threat earlier, you're starting to get a little more paranoid... whoever it is really wants to meet you. Police you can deal with (no search warrant means no access to your apartment), but someone of higher authority might be more of an issue. You slowly make your way out of your room... <<say '...'>>$player_name!? Are you there!?<</say>> You don't immediately recognize the voice, but you swear you've heard it before. Deciding to throw caution to the wind, you speed crawl to the front door and look through the peephole. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Hello!? Danny gave me your number and I called! I want to talk!<</speech>> <span id='replace'><center><<button 'EVE?'>>\ <<replace '#replace'>>\ A little weird Eve of all people would be here, but you guess it's better than someone on your shitlist.

Hopefully she just... leaves. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>I can see you looking through the peephole.<</speech>> Nice job, dumbass. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>I wanted to talk to you about yesterday, about the bartender! And don't worry, you're not in trouble... it's business, all off the record!<</speech>> A little weird she would say that ending statement... still, if she's doing this "off-the-record" and not in NEVERMORE jurisdiction, it means she's doing something NEVERMORE might not like, which is semi-blackmail for you... You feel your curiosity starting to get the better of you. You remember a couple hours ago when you said you would "lay low" and not involve yourself in people trying to put you in prison... but still, that <span class='green'>itch</span> comes back, the one that you can only satisfy one way... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Off-the-record? Why off-the-record? Sounds really shady.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>I really don't wanna talk about that through the door, so how about you just let me in! I promise I'll tell you! Come on!<</speech>> She knocks again. If you open this door and you get fucking shot... <span id='replace2'><center><<button 'OPEN THE DOOR'>>\ <<replace '#replace2'>>\ You crack open the door. Sure enough, there's Eve in all her glory... with no SWAT team. It really feels like you're letting a cop into a methlab, but she seems to be desperate for your help... You open the door wider and step away, letting Eve in. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Sorry, I, uh, just woke up. You startled me a little. The nightclub kinda fucked me up, still pretty hungover.<</speech>> She looks you up and down, a smile appearing on her face. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>I can tell. You're not wearing pants.<</speech>> Sure enough, you're not wearing pants. Luckily your dick isn't swinging around like a pendelum, so at least you're able to maintain some dignity. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Hey, don't worry... I just came back from your friend Danny's, and let's just say... I was seeing a lot more.<</speech>> Not really something you wanted to know. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>...But your door? That's a little different.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Oh yeah, it's, uh, a new exterior design choice. Wasn't my choice though, heh.<</speech>> You're feeling especially awkward today it seems. Your erectically disfunctioning personality doesn't seem to bother Eve too much... she walks past you, taking in your little shithole. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Is it just you living here?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Oh no, I have a roommate but.. she isn't here a lot. And sorry about the mess, she's kinda a messy person.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>And you're not the type to clean up?<</speech>> Ouch? She laughs, moving some empty bottles to the side and sitting on the arm of the couch. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Heh, I'm messing with you. I know your type aren't always the cleanest.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>My... what?<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>You know, your type. Hackers.<</speech>> Maybe you shouldn't have opened that door. She notices your sudden surprise. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Come on, you're not very slick about it. After you came back with those pictures, I knew something was up about you... Joses... he's a little weird, and he's definitely not the type to just give something like that up.<</speech>> Her tone doesn't appear antagonistic, which means she's not threatening you... yet. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>So that's why we're off-the-record... it wouldn't look good if a NEVERMORE employee was talking to a hacker. They have a pretty big "anti-hacker" policy, it's kinda like if the president started negotiating with terrorists.<</speech>> You're not about to admit to being a hacker, since no matter how "off-the-record" this conversation is... you still have INCUBUS, and you're pretty sure that doesn't apply to "off-the-record." <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...Okay. <</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>It's fine, you don't have to admit anything. But I still need your help. You really helped me yesterday, and I need you to help me again.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...Okay. <</speech>> She smiles awkwardly. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>$player_name, I'm not here to arrest you, I just need you to work with me here, so maybe answers that aren't "okay" would be nice?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...uh ...yes.<</speech>> She lets out a little laugh before settling into the couch, making sure to avoid the undefinable stains. She starts to prop a suitcase onto the coffee table in front of her. It all feels very official, and if you hadn't known any better, this would just be a normal business conversation. Some papers are pulled out of the case and she hands them to you. They're a series of recognizable fliers that you've seen stapled to telephone poles... and also saw on the website Joses hosted. <center><img style='border: 3px solid white;' src='images/the-nightclub/middlefingernevermore.png'> <img style='border: 3px solid white;' src='images/the-nightclub/downwithnevermore.jpg'></center> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>You recognize them?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I'm pretty sure I was handed these exact same ones the other day...<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Yeah, I know, they're fuckin' everything... but... I'm asking if you... ''recognize'' them.<</speech>> Your eyes flick up. She's made it clear you both are at risk just by having this conversation, but you're not really sure how to gauge her: would she throw you under the bus to keep herself in the clear? She has a different air about her today compared to how she was acting in the club... can she really be trusted? Fuck it, being right under the enemies nose is still laying low, right? As long as you don't make too many waves, you should be fine. Just treat Eve like another client and not one of the higher members of NEVERMORE. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, I, uh, ''recognize'' them.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Perfect. So, Joses, the bartender guy you hacked, he's a member of FUCKNEVERMORE. They're a big terrorist group that hate us... but like, who doesn't? We're not really the most favorite people in the world right now.<</speech>> She smiles and shrugs her shoulders like she's doing a stand-up routine. You smile awkwardly. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>And, like, at first it was funny, all of them running around in their little boots thinking they had a chance at changing the world, but after... certain events... they're not so funny anymore. So, we've decided they need to be made an example of. You let one revolution exist, others are gonna think they have a chance. Get it?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um, kind of... I don't really know what you're asking me to do though.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>I'm getting to that. Now, you did a great service by helping me yesterday... I got higher-ups, and I haven't been the best at this hacker stuff... but... you! You got Joses to give up the goods, which is more than anything I could've done! And that same work ethic would be very helpful for a certain NEVERMORE employee...<</speech>> A flicker of vileness passes across her face. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Wait, you want me to help you //help you?// I thought you just wanted me to, like, jailbreak your phone or some shit. You're asking me to devote myself to NEVERMORE? Be, like, your lil' hacker monkey?<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Is that a problem? It didn't seem like a problem yesterday.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, it wasn't a problem yesterday because I wasn't targetting a whole political movement. Look, I appreciate you thinking about me, but, hypothethically speaking, if I was a hacker, it probably wouldn't be good for my image if I was helping you guys... and my image is already kinda fucked right now. I'm sure there are plenty of other people out there much better than me who would ''love'' to be a NEVERMORE lackey, but I'm cool with doing my own thing. I got my own stuff to deal with.<</speech>> You obviously don't mention the fact that you've made a deal with yourself to stay low. Attacking a political movement would put you on the radar more than you'd like; plus, you've made a lot of bad decisions lately, so you're gonna try to make the obviously not-shitty one. Eve smiles. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Thanks for your honesty, but I don't think you get what I'm saying... Like I said, NEVERMORE has a rigid "anti-hacker policy", one that they aim to push as much as possible... even going as far as arresting small-time hackers who live in messy apartments... so, with that in mind, do you ''understand'' now?<</speech>> Ah, there it is. Good ol' blackmail. Seems like everyone these days just uses blackmail to get people to do what they want. What if she just asked nicely instead of threatening you? People need to choose a new avenue of manipulation. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>And don't think you can screw me over, this business relationship has a clear power dichotomy. So let's not get hasty, alright?<</speech>> You know what? Fuck this. Despite her devilish intentions, your desire to live a normal, regular life is stronger. Plus, it's not like it's just you on the shit-end of the stick... she said it herself: she's not the best worker. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um... how about you fuck yourself? Even if you report me to NEVERMORE, what evidence do you have? My computer? That thing is blowing up as soon as you even touch it. Or maybe your word? Yeah, your word that not only ties you to me, but also to Joses //and// FUCKNEVERMORE. You think your "higher-ups" are gonna like that you fucked your target or enemy or whatever you assholes call it? If you want me to work for you, blackmail isn't going to cut it.<</speech>> Silence between the two of you. Eve sucks the inside of her cheeck, looking you up and down. Although everything you said was from the heart, you do worry that she's willing to bring you both down. You doubt it though, this is the same girl that (you assumed) fucked Danny, and not all of his dogs are barking. Eve looks up at the ceiling, sighing deeply before looking back at you. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>$1000 bucks for each job you complete.<</speech>> You think for a second. Money is the root of all evil, but is it enough for you to abandon your current "laying low" mindset? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>$2000.<</speech>> She scoffs. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And NEVERMORE benefits.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>NEVERMORE benefits!? What are you talking about? You want health insurance? A CROWPhone? Free water from the breakroom? There are no benefits!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>If I work for you, that means I work for NEVERMORE, so I want NEVERMORE benefits... whatever a new low level NEVERMORE employee gets when they get hired.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Are you serious?<</speech>> You nod. She doesn't seem to take kindly to your out-of-the-box request, but you're surprised you came up with it. NEVERMORE benefits not only gets you closer to NEVERMORE itself, but also closer to finding out more about INCUBUS and hopefully getting your name cleared from their records. For now, you're a semi-NEVERMORE employee... right under their noses. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Fine. You get NEVERMORE benefits, but //after// you finish the job today.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And $2000.<</speech>> She rolls her eyes and waves her hand at you, grabbing papers from the coffee table. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Fine, be that way. You're not special, by the way... you're just the only hacker that I haven't snitched on yet.<</speech>> Guess you're stick technically laying low... just a little closer to the enemy than intended. Though, to be completely honest, even if she hadn't blackmailed you, you still probably would've helped her... <span class='green'>You just can't help yourself.</span> <center><<button [[DO WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE]]>><</button>></center>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span></div>\

She notices your sudden surprise. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Come on, you're not very slick about it. After you came back with those pictures, I knew something was up about you... Joses's not the type to just give something like that up.<</speech>> Her tone doesn't appear antagonistic, which means she's not threatening you... yet. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>So that's why this whole conversation's off-the-record... it wouldn't look good if a NEVERMORE employee was talking to a hacker, they have a pretty big "anti-hacker" policy, it's kinda like if the president started negotiating with terrorists.<</speech>> You're not about to admit to being a hacker, since no matter how "off-the-record" this conversation is... you still have INCUBUS, and you're pretty sure that doesn't apply to "off-the-record." <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...Okay. <</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>It's fine, you don't have to admit anything. But I still need your help. You saved me yesterday, and I need you to save me again.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...Okay. <</speech>> She starts to rub her temple. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>I'm not here to arrest you. Like I said, you don't have to admit to anything... I just need you to work with me here, so maybe answers that aren't "okay" would be helpful.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...uh ...yes.<</speech>> She scoffs before settling into the couch, making sure to avoid the undefinable stains. She starts to prop a suitcase onto the coffee table in front of her. It all feels very official, and if you hadn't known any better, this would just be a normal business conversation. Some papers are pulled out of the case, and she hands them to you. They're a series of recognizable fliers that you've seen stapled to telephone poles... and also saw on the website Joses hosted. <center><img style='border: 3px solid white;' src='images/the-nightclub/middlefingernevermore.png'> <img style='border: 3px solid white;' src='images/the-nightclub/downwithnevermore.jpg'></center> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>You recognize them?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I'm pretty sure I was handed these exact same ones the other day...<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>No... I'm asking if you ''recognize'' them.<</speech>> Your eyes flick up. She's made it clear you both are at risk just by having this conversation, but she does seem like the type to screw you over without a second thought. Then again, she //technically// can't prove you're a hacker... Fuck it, being right under the enemies nose is still laying low, right? As long as you don't make too many waves, you should be fine. Just treat Eve like another client and not one of the higher members of NEVERMORE. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, I, uh, ''recognize'' them.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Perfect. So, Joses, the bartender guy yesterday you hacked or whatever, he's a member of FUCKNEVERMORE. They're a big terrorist group that hate us... but then again, who doesn't? And at first it was funny, all of them running around in their little boots thinking they had a chance at changing the world, but after... certain events... they're not so funny anymore. So, we've decided they need to be made an example of. You let one revolution exist, others are gonna think they have a chance. Get it?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um, kind of... I don't really know what you're asking me to do.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>I'm getting to that. Now, you did a great service by helping me yesterday... I got higher-ups, and I haven't been the best worker... but you! You got Joses to give up the goods, which is more than anything I could've done in that amount of time! And that same work ethic would be very helpful for a certain NEVERMORE employee...<</speech>> A flicker of vileness passes across her face. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Wait, you want me to help you //help you?// I thought you just wanted me to, like, jailbreak your phone or some shit. You're asking me to devote myself to NEVERMORE? Be, like, your lil' hacker monkey?<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Is that a problem? It didn't seem like a problem yesterday.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, it wasn't a problem yesterday because I wasn't targetting a whole political movement! Look, I appreciate you thinking about me, but, hypothethically speaking, if I was a hacker, I probably wouldn't have a high standing in my community, a hypothetical example being, maybe... a spray painted door? I'm sure there are plenty of other people out there much better than me who would ''love'' to be a NEVERMORE lackey, but I'm cool with sticking to regular boring forums.<</speech>> You obviously don't mention the fact that you've made a deal with yourself to stay low and out of sight due to your possession of INCUBUS, and you also don't mention the deal you made with Joses yesterday... helping Eve //and// Joses feels like a major conflict of interests (then again, you really don't care about either of them). Eve smiles. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Thanks for your honesty, but I don't think you get what I'm saying... Like I said, NEVERMORE has a rigid "anti-hacker policy", one that they aim to push as much as possible... even going as far as arresting small-time hackers who live in disgusting apartments... so, with that in mind, do you ''understand'' now?<</speech>> Ah, there it is. Good ol' blackmail. Seems like everyone these days just uses blackmail to get people to do what they want. What if she just asked nicely instead of threatening you? People need to choose a new avenue of manipulation. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>And don't think you can screw me over, this business relationship has a clear power dichotomy. Let's not get hasty, alright?<</speech>> You know what? Fuck this. Despite her devilish intentions, your desire to live a normal, regular life is stronger. Plus, it's not like it's just you on the shit-end of the stick... she said it herself: she's not the best worker. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um... how about you fuck yourself? Even if you report me to NEVERMORE, what evidence do you have? My computer? That thing is blowing up as soon as you even touch it. Or maybe your word? Yeah, your word that not only ties you to me, but also to Joses //and// FUCKNEVERMORE. You think your "higher-ups" are gonna like that you fucked your target or enemy or whatever you assholes call it? If you want me to work for you, blackmail isn't going to cut it.<</speech>> Silence between the two of you. Eve sucks the inside of her cheeck, looking you up and down. Although everything you said was from the heart, you do worry that she's smarter than she looks and is willing to throw herself off the bridge alongside you. You doubt it though, this is the same girl that (you assumed) fucked Danny, and not all of his dogs are barking. Eve looks up at the ceiling, processing her thoughts. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>$1000 bucks for each job you complete.<</speech>> You think for a second. Money is the root of all evil, but is it enough for you to abandon your morals and current "laying low" mindset? It's not like you owe Joses anything... you never really made a wholehearted promise to him, just like he didn't make a promise to not keep those images... that's just the nature of promises: they aren't set in stone. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>$2000.<</speech>> <span class='green'>You really can't help yourself, can you?</span> She scoffs. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And NEVERMORE benefits.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>NEVERMORE benefits!? What are you talking about? You want health insurance? A CROWPhone? Free water from the breakroom? There are no benefits!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>If I work for you, that means I work for NEVERMORE, so I want NEVERMORE benefits... whatever a new low level NEVERMORE employee gets when they get hired.<</speech>> <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Are you serious?<</speech>> You nod. She doesn't seem to take kindly to your out-of-the-box request, but you're surprised you came up with it. NEVERMORE benefits not only gets you closer to NEVERMORE itself, but also closer to finding out more about INCUBUS and hopefully getting your name cleared from their records. For now, you're a semi-NEVERMORE employee... right under their noses. It's also a good way to maybe help out Joses... could be a good way to justify you working with them in case you ever encounter him again. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Fine. You get NEVERMORE benefits, but //after// you finish the job today.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And $2000.<</speech>> She grunts and waves her hand at you, grabbing papers from the coffee table. <<speech 'eve' 'Eve'>>Fine, play that way. You're not special, by the way... you're just the only hacker that I haven't shot in the head yet.<</speech>> Guess you're stick technically laying low... just a little closer to the enemy than intended. Though, to be completely honest, even if she hadn't blackmailed you, you still probably would've helped her... you can't stay away from a keyboard and computer, no matter how hard you try. <center><<button [[DO WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE|OJSDWYAD]]>><</button>></center>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span></div>\

Eve was insistent on staying until you were finished, so she made sure she was comfortable with some water and crackers... though she probably would've preferred virgin blood.

And you are about to clock in in a normal fashion. Nothing criminal about you. You have nothing to hide. <<say '...'>>YOU'RE LATE.<</say>> Your first thought is: <center>"They found me." </center> You think of all the different escape routes, the potential ways you could interrupt their attempts to grab and strangle you, how you were going to explain to Azzy why you're not going to be her roommate anymore (thank god). If you run for it now, you'll probably get a good couple feet... until they shoot you. They probably have the place surrounded... Man, you shouldn't have trusted Eve... then again, maybe it was your fault for getting too hacking-greedy. <<say '...'>>DID YOU HEAR ME? YOU'RE LATE.<</say>> Your second thought is: "Jesus, you're alive?" <<say 'Rob' 'images/avatars/rob.jpg'>>ARE YOU HIGH? CLOCK IN!<</say>> This is one of the only times you've ever been happy to see Rob. Then again, you haven't seen him enough to count the times you've been upset. Now that you think about it, this actually might be the only time you've ever met him. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Oh, Sorry, Rob. I didn't know you were here.<</speech>> <<say 'Rob' 'images/avatars/rob.jpg'>>THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE TO BE LATE! I DON'T CARE IF CHUCK LETS YOU BE LATE, I'M THE MANAGER NOW. GET HERE ON TIME OR I'LL FIRE YOU!<</say>> He sits back down to eat his peanuts or whatever old people eat. Skye described Rob as vampiric, which isn't entirely wrong... thing is, he's definitely not strong enough to suck your blood. He's old, pale, and skinny... you bet if you gave him a Jolly Rancher, he'd die after a single lick. It makes sense he'd be here though... Chuck's surprise disappearance needed a replacement, and you don't have anyone else other than Rob to help run the store. Looks like Rob is gonna have to bite the Jolly Rancher and deal with the consequences of your actions. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>What's up, man? You gotta take over, I need a break.<</speech>> It must be the fact that you've decided to live a hacking free life, but Skye is looking 100x more beautiful today. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, of course! Come, take your break, get a water, hang out with Rob, do your thing! I'll get everything done, hah!<</speech>> <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Wow, you're really happy... you takin' Adderall too? Danny was going on a whole thing about it today.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Oh! Uh, no! Of course not, I would never do that stuff! I guess it's just been a while since I've seen you!<</speech>> Skye laughs, but you don't see her blush or look away romantically after prolonged eye contact, so it must be a pity laugh. Jesus, maybe you should get on Adderall, might help your nerves around her. Why are you so nervous all of a sudden anyways? Maybe it's cause of everything that happened with Calypso... Shit, Calypso. You completely forgot about that... hopefully it doesn't cause a whole workplace scandal or make things uncomfortable between you two - fuck, it definitely will given the nature of her obsession with you. Plus, you confessed you liked her too... great fucking job. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Rob wants you to do some stocking since Danny's gone. And just clean up around the place. It's slow as fuck, so you shouldn't need help... yeaaahhhh, I thinnnnnk that's it. A lady might come in later asking for a movie on hold, but.. yeah. Boring day.

You always seem to have these thoughts at work... thoughts about how far you've fallen. In Indiana, you had your whole life set up for you... you were dating your childhood sweet heart, went to college for computer science, lived with your family out in the farm... And now you're here... working at a video store on Lake Ave next to a strip club and a gas station, where you go home and hack people for money until you go to sleep and do it all over again.

If you were in a police line up, I'd pick you out immediately.<</if>> I know who you are, $player_name. Do not make this interaction anymore difficult.<</say>> You're starting to think you're not a regular human being. You have no idea what to say. She doesn't work for NEVERMORE or Abaddon Industries (anymore), so she can't possibly be here to turn you in... unless turning you in means a way back into her old job. You know for a fact you can't explicity admit to anything unless you know for a fact having a conversation with this woman won't cause a SWAT team to shoot you on sight... but you can always tell half the truth. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>><<if visited("DRG7") or visited("PDRG8") or visited("RRG7") or visited("DRB7")>>Okay, yeah, Calypso and I... did stuff, but I didn't have sex with her!

I'm sorry about everything with Calypso, but I promise you I didn't do anything to hurt her! I think she's a cute girl! Do you want me to start dating her or something? I can do that!<</speech>> Her steel-grey eyes look you up and down; you can feel her gaze examining your insides, like she's searching your very soul. Her eyes narrow. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Yesterday, police came to this location and questioned my daughter about me and my husband. These questions were very invasive, a lot more personal than the usual questions police officers would ask. It almost seemed like these police officers directly targetted my daughter at her workplace. A couple hours later, my daughter brings a boy home. This boy doesn't steal anything of value like jewelry or money. Instead, he spends most of his time exploring the home, searching every nook and cranny for something in particular... until he finds it. Maybe it was by chance... or maybe he was able to discern it's location by noticing patterns that a typical robber wouldn't notice. This object is of specific value, but it is connected to the same thing the police were questioning my daughter about. How would you feel if someone asked you about something and only mere hours later, you find that someone was messing with that exact same thing... that would be quite peculiar.<</speech>> She didn't blink a single time during the entirety of her monologue. The air in the room drops a few degrees. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You're impatient, sloppy, and lack self-control... you didn't bother to make it seem like you and the robber were two different people: no attempt at faking forced entry, stealing prized artifacts, or even tripping an alarm. While you think words hold evidential weight, in reality it's actions, patterns, and physical evidence that are far superior. You were focused entirely on the goal of your crusade that you failed to realize that I am far more intelligent, far more skilled, and far more dangerous than you could anticipate... which causes me to wonder why Abaddon would hire you to rob me.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...huh?<</speech>> Katherine stares at you, the gears slowly churning in her head. Your confusion must've triggered something in her. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Wait.<</speech>> The air in the room changes, but not for the worse. You feel like Katherine is less antagonistic now, meaning she's less likely to shoot you in the head. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>They wouldn't stoop that low... you're too..<</speech>> Suddenly, it's like something clicks. For once, Katherine expresses an emotion besides malice - surprise. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>...INCUBUS.<</speech>> You don't say anything, but your lack of a response says everything that she needs to know. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>That was your plan then. Get information from Calypso, the daughter of Katherine Dawson, former NEVERMORE employee, and then break into my house to steal the laptop... which would mean you somehow know about my job.<</speech>> You feel a lot more cornered than you did earlier. You're not sure what she's doing, but you have a feeling this isn't going to turn out great for you in any form. Maybe if you get on your knees and beg... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, Katherine, I-<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Shut up. You should be happy that you weren't who I thought you were.<</speech>> She backs up in order to give you a little wiggle room. Still, she blocks you from leaving. You still have the cleaning mop in your hand, which might be useful as a weapon, but you're pretty sure a mop isn't gonna cut it (unless she's scared of dirty water). <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I don't need to explain to you how much trouble you would be in if Abaddon or NEVERMORE found out about your existence. Therefore, you are in no place to make ''any'' demands. You work for me now.<</speech>> She doesn't wait for a response. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>While I still believe you're careless and disorderly, you're not stupid: that doesn't imply that I'm complimenting you, only that you're more useful to me alive than dead, so I won't be turning you in. Now... INCUBUS.<</speech>> She really isn't wrong; you are pretty careless and disorderly, that's pretty much how you got yourself into this situation. You guess you were never really meant for a regular life... you're always going to be pulled back in somehow. Still, it's good to know that Katherine won't be turning you in. However, you feel like it you avoid her questions, Katherine could easily chew you up and spit you back out for the wolves. It's a bit jarring to outright converse with Katherine about this stuff though... you don't think you've ever told anyone outright about INCUBUS. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Someone... someone left a DVD here, red case, demon on the front... I've heard about DVDs like that on forums and stuff, about how the military or something had some super secret hacking tool, so I took it and uploaded it onto my computer... I didn't know it would get ''this'' bad though. I honestly just used it to hack people for money... I didn't do ''any'' of that crazy shit like the Big Leak or the banking shit or hacking NEVERMORE. I swear to god.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I couldn't care less about what you use it for. What matter is that it works well.<</speech>> She doesn't care? Weird... but maybe it's for the best. If she cared, then this conversation would veer off the road //fast.// <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um, I guess it works. It makes my life a little easier... still, it... its got it's limits. Some things are better and somethings are worse...<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>So you have other hacking experience besides INCUBUS.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... before INCUBUS, I used normal scripts and stuff. I used to go to school for computer science and cyber security, but... things changed, I guess.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>And you don't work for Abaddon or NEVERMORE.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No... I don't.<</speech>> There is a slight release of tension in her shoulders, but it's only for a quick moment. You of course refrain from telling her about Eve and how you've been helping her. She doesn't need to know everything, right? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...um... wh-why do you ask?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I don't answer your questions. Rememeber, you work for me now.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But, like... what does that mean?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You ''work'' for me. You do what I say, or I tell NEVERMORE and Abaddon about INCUBUS.<</speech>> Great. Blackmail for the hundredth time. Who would've fuckin' thought? Unfortunately, this time you don't have the luxury of maneuvering the conversation for your benefit like with Eve. Looks like you're working for another person now. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But... like... what does that ''mean''? What am I doing for-<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You're going to destroy NEVERMORE.<</speech>> You let out a snort. Katherine doesn't take too kindly to your reaction and looks visibly annoyed. She has to see where you're coming from though. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>You're messing with me right?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>No.<</speech>> Unfortunately, she's being dead serious, and you're starting to realize how stupid of a request that is, especially for someone as (apparently) smart as her. This also complicates things regarding your business relationship with Eve. You're starting to really feel like a secret agent with all this double crossing potential. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I know you said no back-talking or whatever, but what you're asking me to do is... insane. You're giving me a suicide mission as an alternative to getting found out and executed... where's the logic in that? It's not a very good motivator, I'll tell you that much.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Would you prefer going out with a bang or dying slowly and sadly.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No inspirational quote is going to change how insane of an ask this is. There is absolutely zero chance I can go up against NEVERMORE and not get killed.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You have in your possession some of the most advanced hacking software in existence. What you have could destroy governments, states, even count-<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you serious? We're talking about INCUBUS right? You guys really have a tendency to hype up your shit, because INCUBUS is not what you're describing right now... it's a glorified pentester. Sure, you can break through firewall, remotely access a system, and transfer data all with an IP, but against a fucking trillion dollar company that literally excels in technology and also ''literally made INCUBUS?'' I'm gonna be fighting a gorilla with a toothpick. What you're asking me to do requires a team, a plan, and years and years and years of research, work, and ideas, and even after all that... you have to pull it off. You've seen //Mr. Robot// right? that took them, like, years! And people died in that show! They went to CHINA!<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''Lower your voice.''<</speech>> You //have// been increasing the volume of your voice for a while now, but the intensity of Katherine's voice makes you instinctively lower it. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Katherine, you're right, I don't wanna get caught, but fighting NEVERMORE is no better. Plus, NEVERMORE is a technology "conglomerate"... meaning they are a company with their claws in everything... stuff like healthcare and commerence. You destroy a company like that, it means the destruction of the United States of America. You're not only damning a couple managers, you're destroying the livelihood of millions of Americans who rely on that stuff.<</speech>> It's sad to say, but NEVERMORE, even with the horrible stuff they've done, really do help the American people. There would be major political, social, economic, and wordly repercussions if you even were able to do touch them. She hears you, but it doesn't seem she cares. To be honest, you're not really sure why Katherine is trying to destroy NEVERMORE anyway... is she really that mad at them firing her? You could talk to Eve about it, but that just might make her suspicious of you. You really are caught in a bad position now. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Destroying doesn't always imply destruction or annihilation. You can knock them down a couple pegs, affect them in ways that will destroy their reputation for decades into the future.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Still, Katherine, I'm only one person, I can't-<</speech>> She pulls out a piece of paper and sets it on the table. Based on the red, black, and white ink, you already know what it is. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Them? I know they're, like, against NEVERMORE, but you're asking me for a lot more than handing out fliers.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>While you are correct about their inability to enact change, some of them have the same vision as me... members within the group that are doing more than handing out fliers.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Like a secret society? You've got to be joking me.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''How many times do I have to tell you. I do not joke around.''NEVERMORE has always had them in their crosshairs, meaning they are the most optimal resource for my, and now your, goal. Go to their meetings and find out everything you need to know. That's your first job.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Katherine, please... this is a bad idea for both of us, and this plan is rickety at best... Maybe, just maybe there's some secret society. It's "secret". I am not secret society material!<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''Make a choice, $player_name.''<</speech>> This is absolutely fucking insane. You were just living a normal, regular life, going about your day at work not involving yourself in any hacking schemes when this pops out of nowhere. Maybe it's on you for getting involved with Calypso or digging your nose where it doesn't belong... but right now, you have a choice: die or work with Katherine to destroy one of the leading innovators in technology and lifestyle. So much for fucking laying low. <center><<button [[FUCKING GREAT.|...NOW WHAT?]]>><</button>></center></div>

You're not quite sure what you're getting into, but hopefully he isn't obsessed with making his computer completely impenetrable. Based on your conversation with him yesterday though, you doubt it'll be too hard. Hopefully you won't be too mad that you're hacking him again. Eve was insistent on staying until you were finished, so she made sure she was comfortable with some water and crackers... though she probably would've preferred virgin blood. Since you're still laying low, you'll be moving away from INCUBUS (though you do find your eyes drifting to the application every couple seconds). You may love INCUBUS, but you're not stupid... plus, INCUBUS can only do so much: you need an IP address to do anything, and VPNs are pretty much walls you aren't really able to get over. For now you need to go old school. Eve already sent a phishing link to Joses, so you're just waiting for a response... you wish you could've messaged him about what's going on, but he unfortunately didn't give you his number.

And you are about to clock in in a normal fashion. Nothing criminal about you. You have nothing to hide. <<say '...'>>YOU'RE LATE.<</say>> Your first thought is: <center>"They found me." </center> You think of all the different escape routes, the potential ways you could interrupt their attempts to grab and strangle you, how you were going to explain to Azzy why you're not going to be her roommate anymore (thank god). If you run for it now, you'll probably get a good couple feet... until they shoot you. They probably have the place surrounded... Man, you shouldn't have trusted Eve... then again, maybe it was your fault for getting too hacking-greedy. <<say '...'>>DID YOU HEAR ME?

GET HERE ON TIME OR I'LL FIRE YOU!<</say>> He sits back down to eat his peanuts or whatever old people eat. Skye described Rob as vampiric, which isn't entirely wrong... thing is, he's definitely not strong enough to suck your blood. He's old, pale, and skinny... you bet if you gave him a Jolly Rancher, he'd die after a single lick. It makes sense he'd be here though... Chuck's surprise disappearance needed a replacement, and you don't have anyone else other than Rob to help run the store. Looks like Rob is gonna have to bite the Jolly Rancher and deal with the consequences of your actions. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>What's up, man? You gotta take over, I need a break.<</speech>> It must be the fact that you've decided to live a hacking free life, but Skye is looking 100x more beautiful today. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, of course!

I guess it's just been a while since I've seen you!<</speech>> Skye laughs, but you don't see her blush or look away romantically after prolonged eye contact, so it must be a pity laugh. Jesus, maybe you should get on Adderall, might help your nerves around her. Why are you so nervous all of a sudden anyways? Maybe it's cause of everything that happened with Calypso... Shit, Calypso. You completely forgot about that... hopefully it doesn't cause a whole workplace scandal or make things uncomfortable between you two - fuck, it definitely will given the nature of her obsession with you. Plus, you confessed you liked her too... great fucking job. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Rob wants you to do some stocking since Danny's gone. And just clean up around the place.

If you were in a police line up, I'd pick you out immediately.<</if>> I know who you are, $player_name. Do not make this interaction anymore difficult.<</say>> You're starting to think you're not a regular human being. You have no idea what to say. She doesn't work for NEVERMORE or Abaddon Industries (anymore), so she can't possibly be here to turn you in... unless turning you in means a way back into her old job. You know for a fact you can't explicity admit to anything unless you know for a fact having a conversation with this woman won't cause a SWAT team to shoot you on sight... but you can always tell half the truth. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>><<if visited("DRG7") or visited("PDRG8") or visited("RRG7") or visited("DRB7")>>Okay, yeah, Calypso and I... did stuff, but I didn't have sex with her!

I can do that!<</speech>> Her steel-grey eyes look you up and down; you can feel her gaze examining your insides, like she's searching your very soul. Her eyes narrow. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Yesterday, police came to this location and questioned my daughter about me and my husband. These questions were very invasive, a lot more personal than the usual questions police officers would ask. It almost seemed like these police officers directly targetted my daughter at her workplace. A couple hours later, my daughter brings a boy home. This boy doesn't steal anything of value like jewelry or money. Instead, he spends most of his time exploring the home, searching every nook and cranny for something in particular... until he finds it. Maybe it was by chance... or maybe he was able to discern it's location by noticing patterns that a typical robber wouldn't notice. This object is of specific value, but it is connected to the same thing the police were questioning my daughter about. How would you feel if someone asked you about something and only mere hours later, you find that someone was messing with that exact same thing... that would be quite peculiar.<</speech>> She didn't blink a single time during the entirety of her monologue. The air in the room drops a few degrees. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You're impatient, sloppy, and lack self-control... you didn't bother to make it seem like you and the robber were two different people: no attempt at faking forced entry, stealing prized artifacts, or even tripping an alarm. While you think words hold evidential weight, in reality it's actions, patterns, and physical evidence that are far superior. You were focused entirely on the goal of your crusade that you failed to realize that I am far more intelligent, far more skilled, and far more dangerous than you could anticipate... which causes me to wonder why Abaddon would hire you to rob me.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...huh?<</speech>> Katherine stares at you, the gears slowly churning in her head. Your confusion must've triggered something in her. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Wait.<</speech>> The air in the room changes, but not for the worse. You feel like Katherine is less antagonistic now, meaning she's less likely to shoot you in the head. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>They wouldn't stoop that low... you're too..<</speech>> Suddenly, it's like something clicks. For once, Katherine expresses an emotion besides malice - surprise. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>...INCUBUS.<</speech>> You don't say anything, but your lack of a response says everything that she needs to know. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>That was your plan then. Get information from Calypso, the daughter of Katherine Dawson, former NEVERMORE employee, and then break into my house to steal the laptop... which would mean you somehow know about my job.<</speech>> You feel a lot more cornered than you did earlier. You're not sure what she's doing, but you have a feeling this isn't going to turn out great for you in any form. Maybe if you get on your knees and beg... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, Katherine, I-<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Shut up. You should be happy that you weren't who I thought you were.<</speech>> She backs up in order to give you a little wiggle room. Still, she blocks you from leaving. You still have the cleaning mop in your hand, which might be useful as a weapon, but you're pretty sure a mop isn't gonna cut it (unless she's scared of dirty water). <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I don't need to explain to you how much trouble you would be in if Abaddon or NEVERMORE found out about your existence. Therefore, you are in no place to make ''any'' demands. You work for me now.<</speech>> She doesn't wait for a response. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>While I still believe you're careless and disorderly, you're not stupid: that doesn't imply that I'm complimenting you, only that you're more useful to me alive than dead, so I won't be turning you in. Now... INCUBUS.<</speech>> She really isn't wrong; you are pretty careless and disorderly, that's pretty much how you got yourself into this situation. You guess you were never really meant for a regular life... you're always going to be pulled back in somehow. Still, it's good to know that Katherine won't be turning you in. However, you feel like it you avoid her questions, Katherine could easily chew you up and spit you back out for the wolves. It's a bit jarring to outright converse with Katherine about this stuff though... you don't think you've ever told anyone outright about INCUBUS. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Someone... someone left a DVD here, red case, demon on the front... I've heard about DVDs like that on forums and stuff, about how the military or something had some super secret hacking tool, so I took it and uploaded it onto my computer... I didn't know it would get ''this'' bad though. I honestly just used it to hack people for money... I didn't do ''any'' of that crazy shit like the Big Leak or the banking shit or hacking NEVERMORE. I swear to god.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I couldn't care less about what you use it for. What matter is that it works well.<</speech>> She doesn't care? Weird... but maybe it's for the best. If she cared, then this conversation would veer off the road //fast.// <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um, I guess it works. It makes my life a little easier... still, it... its got it's limits. Some things are better and somethings are worse...<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>So you have other hacking experience besides INCUBUS.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... before INCUBUS, I used normal scripts and stuff. I used to go to school for computer science and cyber security, but... things changed, I guess.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>And you don't work for Abaddon or NEVERMORE.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No... I don't.<</speech>> There is a slight release of tension in her shoulders, but it's only for a quick moment. You of course refrain from telling her about Eve and how you've been helping her. Plus, based on what you did today, you don't intend to work with Eve for that long (unless things with Joses fall through). <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...um... wh-why do you ask?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I don't answer your questions. Rememeber, you work for me now.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But, like... what does that mean?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You ''work'' for me. You do what I say, or I tell NEVERMORE and Abaddon about INCUBUS.<</speech>> Great. Blackmail for the hundredth time. Who would've fuckin' thought? Unfortunately, this time you don't have the luxury of maneuvering the conversation for your benefit like with Eve. Looks like you're working for another person now. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But... like... what does that ''mean''? What am I doing for-<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You're going to destroy NEVERMORE.<</speech>> You let out a snort. Katherine doesn't take too kindly to your reaction and looks visibly annoyed. She has to see where you're coming from though. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>You're messing with me right?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>No.<</speech>> Unfortunately, she's being dead serious, and you're starting to realize how stupid of a request that is, especially for someone as (apparently) smart as her. This also complicates things regarding your weird business relationship with Eve and potentially Joses... it looks like you're really doing some major double crossing <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I know you said no back-talking or whatever, but what you're asking me to do is... insane. You're giving me a suicide mission as an alternative to getting found out and executed... where's the logic in that? It's not a very good motivator, I'll tell you that much.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Would you prefer going out with a bang or dying slowly and sadly.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No inspirational quote is going to change how insane of an ask this is. There is absolutely zero chance I can go up against NEVERMORE and not get killed.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You have in your possession some of the most advanced hacking software in existence. What you have could destroy governments, states, even count-<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you serious? We're talking about INCUBUS right? You guys really have a tendency to hype up your shit, because INCUBUS is not what you're describing right now... it's a glorified pentester. Sure, you can break through firewall, remotely access a system, and transfer data all with an IP, but against a fucking trillion dollar company that literally excels in technology and also ''literally made INCUBUS?'' I'm gonna be fighting a gorilla with a toothpick. What you're asking me to do requires a team, a plan, and years and years and years of research, work, and ideas, and even after all that... you have to pull it off. You've seen //Mr. Robot// right? that took them, like, years! And people died in that show! They went to CHINA!<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''Lower your voice.''<</speech>> You //have// been increasing the volume of your voice for a while now, but the intensity of Katherine's voice makes you instinctively lower it. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Katherine, you're right, I don't wanna get caught, but fighting NEVERMORE is no better. Plus, NEVERMORE is a technology "conglomerate"... meaning they are a company with their claws in everything... stuff like healthcare and commerence. You destroy a company like that, it means the destruction of the United States of America. You're not only damning a couple managers, you're destroying the livelihood of millions of Americans who rely on that stuff.<</speech>> It's sad to say, but NEVERMORE, even with the horrible stuff they've done, really do help the American people. There would be major political, social, economic, and wordly repercussions if you even were able to do touch them. She hears you, but it doesn't seem she cares. To be honest, you're not really sure why Katherine is trying to destroy NEVERMORE anyway... is she really that mad at them firing her? You could talk to Eve about it, but that just might make her suspicious of you. You really are caught in a bad position now. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Destroying doesn't always imply destruction or annihilation. You can knock them down a couple pegs, affect them in ways that will destroy their reputation for decades into the future.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Still, Katherine, I'm only one person, I can't-<</speech>> She pulls out a piece of paper and sets it on the table. Based on the red, black, and white ink, you already know what it is. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Them? I know they're, like, against NEVERMORE, but you're asking me for a lot more than handing out fliers.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>While you are correct about their inability to enact change, some of them have the same vision as me... members within the group that are doing more than handing out fliers.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Like a secret society? You've got to be joking me.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''How many times do I have to tell you. I do not joke around.''NEVERMORE has always had them in their crosshairs, meaning they are the most optimal resource for my, and now your, goal. Go to their meetings and find out everything you need to know. That's your first job.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Katherine, please... this is a bad idea for both of us, and this plan is rickety at best... Maybe, just maybe there's some secret society. It's "secret". I am not secret society material!<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''Make a choice, $player_name.''<</speech>> This is absolutely fucking insane. You were just living a normal, regular life, going about your day at work not involving yourself in any hacking schemes when this pops out of nowhere. Maybe it's on you for getting involved with Calypso or digging your nose where it doesn't belong... but right now, you have a choice: die or work with Katherine to destroy one of the leading innovators in technology and lifestyle. So much for fucking laying low. <center><<button [[FUCKING GREAT.|...NOW WHAT?]]>><</button>></center></div>

He's old, pale, and skinny... you bet if you gave him a Jolly Rancher, he'd die after a single lick. It makes sense he'd be here though...

Jesus, maybe you should get on Adderall, might help your nerves around her. Why are you so nervous all of a sudden anyways? Maybe it's cause of everything that happened with Calypso... Shit, Calypso. You completely forgot about that... hopefully it doesn't cause a whole workplace scandal or make things uncomfortable between you two - fuck, it definitely will given the nature of her obsession with you.

It doesn't take a detective to connect the dots.<<elseif visited("CAUGHTESCAPE")>>I find a man in my home on the same night my daughter brings a boy home. It doesn't take a detective to connect the dots.<</if>><</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Well, it kinda does take a detective to connect the dots. You have zero evidence connecting me to a supposed robber. Look, you can even search me... whatever the robber took, I don't have it, I swear. I'm sorry about everything with Calypso, but I promise you I didn't do anything to hurt her! I think she's a cute girl! Do you want me to start dating her or something? I can do that!<</speech>> Her steel-grey eyes look you up and down; you can feel her gaze examining your insides, like she's searching your very soul. Her eyes narrow. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Yesterday, police came to this location and questioned my daughter about me and my husband. These questions were very invasive, a lot more personal than the usual questions police officers would ask. It almost seemed like these police officers directly targetted my daughter at her workplace. A couple hours later, my daughter brings a boy home. This boy doesn't steal anything of value like jewelry or money. Instead, he spends most of his time exploring the home, searching every nook and cranny for something in particular... until he finds it. Maybe it was by chance... or maybe he was able to discern it's location by noticing patterns that a typical robber wouldn't notice. This object is of specific value, but it is connected to the same thing the police were questioning my daughter about. How would you feel if someone asked you about something and only mere hours later, you find that someone was messing with that exact same thing... that would be quite peculiar.<</speech>> She didn't blink a single time during the entirety of her monologue. The air in the room drops a few degrees. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You're impatient, sloppy, and lack self-control... you didn't bother to make it seem like you and the robber were two different people: no attempt at faking forced entry, stealing prized artifacts, or even tripping an alarm. While you think words hold evidential weight, in reality it's actions, patterns, and physical evidence that are far superior. You were focused entirely on the goal of your crusade that you failed to realize that I am far more intelligent, far more skilled, and far more dangerous than you could anticipate... which causes me to wonder why Abaddon would hire you to rob me.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...huh?<</speech>> Katherine stares at you, the gears slowly churning in her head. Your confusion must've triggered something in her. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Wait.<</speech>> The air in the room changes, but not for the worse. You feel like Katherine is less antagonistic now, meaning she's less likely to shoot you in the head. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>They wouldn't stoop that low... you're too..<</speech>> Suddenly, it's like something clicks. For once, Katherine expresses an emotion besides malice - surprise. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>...INCUBUS.<</speech>> You don't say anything, but your lack of a response says everything that she needs to know. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>That was your plan then. Get information from Calypso, the daughter of Katherine Dawson, former NEVERMORE employee, and then break into my house to steal the laptop... which would mean you somehow know about my job.<</speech>> You feel a lot more cornered than you did earlier. You're not sure what she's doing, but you have a feeling this isn't going to turn out great for you in any form. Maybe if you get on your knees and beg... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, Katherine, I-<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Shut up. You should be happy that you weren't who I thought you were.<</speech>> She backs up in order to give you a little wiggle room. Still, she blocks you from leaving. You still have the cleaning mop in your hand, which might be useful as a weapon, but you're pretty sure a mop isn't gonna cut it (unless she's scared of dirty water). <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I don't need to explain to you how much trouble you would be in if Abaddon or NEVERMORE found out about your existence. Therefore, you are in no place to make ''any'' demands. You work for me now.<</speech>> She doesn't wait for a response. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>While I still believe you're careless and disorderly, you're not stupid: that doesn't imply that I'm complimenting you, only that you're more useful to me alive than dead, so I won't be turning you in. Now... INCUBUS.<</speech>> She really isn't wrong; you are pretty careless and disorderly, that's pretty much how you got yourself into this situation. You guess you were never really meant for a regular life... you're always going to be pulled back in somehow. Still, it's good to know that Katherine won't be turning you in. However, you feel like it you avoid her questions, Katherine could easily chew you up and spit you back out for the wolves. It's a bit jarring to outright converse with Katherine about this stuff though... you don't think you've ever told anyone outright about INCUBUS. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Someone... someone left a DVD here, red case, demon on the front... I've heard about DVDs like that on forums and stuff, about how the military or something had some super secret hacking tool, so I took it and uploaded it onto my computer... I didn't know it would get ''this'' bad though. I honestly just used it to hack people for money... I didn't do ''any'' of that crazy shit like the Big Leak or the banking shit or hacking NEVERMORE. I swear to god.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I couldn't care less about what you use it for. What matter is that it works well.<</speech>> She doesn't care? Weird... but maybe it's for the best. If she cared, then this conversation would veer off the road //fast.// <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um, I guess it works. It makes my life a little easier... still, it... its got it's limits. Some things are better and somethings are worse...<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>So you have other hacking experience besides INCUBUS.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... before INCUBUS, I used normal scripts and stuff. I used to go to school for computer science and cyber security, but... things changed, I guess.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>And you don't work for Abaddon or NEVERMORE.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No... I don't.<</speech>> There is a slight release of tension in her shoulders, but it's only for a quick moment. You of course refrain from telling her about Uzumaki, Ebrima, or FUCKNEVERMORE... she doesn't need to know everything. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...um... wh-why do you ask?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>I don't answer your questions. Rememeber, you work for me now.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But, like... what does that mean?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You ''work'' for me. You do what I say, or I tell NEVERMORE and Abaddon about INCUBUS.<</speech>> Great. Blackmail for the hundredth time. Who would've fuckin' thought? And it looks like you're not becoming a part of the Katherine family. No initiation this time it seems. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But... like... what does that ''mean''? What am I doing for-<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You're going to destroy NEVERMORE.<</speech>> You let out a snort. Katherine doesn't take too kindly to your reaction and looks visibly annoyed. She has to see where you're coming from though. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>You're messing with me right?<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>No.<</speech>> Unfortunately, she's being dead serious, and you're starting to realize how stupid of a request that is, especially for someone as (apparently) smart as her. This also complicates things regarding your weird business relationship with Eve and potentially Joses... it looks like you're really doing some major double crossing <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I know you said no back-talking or whatever, but what you're asking me to do is... insane. You're giving me a suicide mission as an alternative to getting found out and executed... where's the logic in that? It's not a very good motivator, I'll tell you that much.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Would you prefer going out with a bang or dying slowly and sadly.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No inspirational quote is going to change how insane of an ask this is. There is absolutely zero chance I can go up against NEVERMORE and not get killed.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>You have in your possession some of the most advanced hacking software in existence. What you have could destroy governments, states, even count-<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you serious? We're talking about INCUBUS right? You guys really have a tendency to hype up your shit, because INCUBUS is not what you're describing right now... it's a glorified pentester. Sure, you can break through firewall, remotely access a system, and transfer data all with an IP, but against a fucking trillion dollar company that literally excels in technology and also ''literally made INCUBUS?'' I'm gonna be fighting a gorilla with a toothpick. What you're asking me to do requires a team, a plan, and years and years and years of research, work, and ideas, and even after all that... you have to pull it off. You've seen //Mr. Robot// right? that took them, like, years! And people died in that show! They went to CHINA!<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''Lower your voice.''<</speech>> You //have// been increasing the volume of your voice for a while now, but the intensity of Katherine's voice makes you instinctively lower it. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Katherine, you're right, I don't wanna get caught, but fighting NEVERMORE is no better. Plus, NEVERMORE is a technology "conglomerate"... meaning they are a company with their claws in everything... stuff like healthcare and commerence. You destroy a company like that, it means the destruction of the United States of America. You're not only damning a couple managers, you're destroying the livelihood of millions of Americans who rely on that stuff.<</speech>> It's sad to say, but NEVERMORE, even with the horrible stuff they've done, really do help the American people. There would be major political, social, economic, and wordly repercussions if you even were able to do touch them. She hears you, but it doesn't seem she cares. To be honest, you're not really sure why Katherine is trying to destroy NEVERMORE anyway... is she really that mad at them firing her? You could talk to Eve about it, but that just might make her suspicious of you. You really are caught in a bad position now. <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>Destroying doesn't always imply destruction or annihilation. You can knock them down a couple pegs, affect them in ways that will destroy their reputation for decades into the future.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Still, Katherine, I'm only one person, I can't-<</speech>> She pulls out a piece of paper. The words ''F*CKNEVERMORE'' are as plain as day on the paper. Looks like your two worlds are colliding. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>These guys? FUCKNEVERMORE? Aren't... don't they give out fliers? I'm pretty sure they're a grassroots organization, people who have signs and stuff. I don't think they can't do what you're asking //me// to do.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>While you are correct about their inability to enact change, some of them have the same vision as me... members within the group that are doing more than handing out fliers.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Like a secret society? You've got to be joking me.<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''How many times do I have to tell you. I do not joke around.''NEVERMORE has always had them in their crosshairs, meaning they are the most optimal resource for my, and now your, goal. Go to their meetings and find out everything you need to know. That's your first job.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Katherine, please... this is a bad idea for both of us, and this plan is rickety at best... Maybe, just maybe there's some secret society. It's "secret". I am not secret society material!<</speech>> <<speech 'katherine' 'Katherine'>>''Make a choice, $player_name.''<</speech>> This is absolutely fucking insane. You were just living a normal, regular life, going about your day at work not involving yourself in any hacking schemes when this pops out of nowhere. Maybe it's on you for getting involved with Calypso or digging your nose where it doesn't belong... but right now, you have a choice: die or work with Katherine to destroy one of the leading innovators in technology and lifestyle. So much for fucking laying low. <center><<button [[FUCKING GREAT.|...NOW WHAT?]]>><</button>></center></div>

You had an attractive girl as your roommate, which basically meant you and her were going to be fucking all over the apartment every single day. 8 months in, and you regret having swiped right: Azzy may be hot, but she's also a borderline psycho. Sure, when Azzy is at the apartment, it's nice to watch her walk around naked, but that's always followed by her calling you a "fucking pervert" and hitting you with a wooden stick she keeps by her bed. Most of time though, Azzy is barely there: when she leaves, you don't expect to see her for another couple days, and when she returns, it's usually only for a moment. You have no idea what she's doing either - you've tried hacking her, but she's a lot smarter than she looks, so you really don't know a lot about her in general. You've made up theories of course - prostiution, stripping... but those all are unlikely... you don't think Azzy would ever let a man near her unless it was to kick them in the balls.

Hopefully the police are distracted enough by Calypso to not question anything. If they're able to get any sort of information about anything, you might be fucked. At least they don't know you exist, but if they find out Danny exists, then you might actually be screwed. Because that means they'll question him, and he'll start spouting his mouth and talk about "red DVDs" and "demon box covers" and "conversations with a coworker" and next thing you know, he's confessing that after talking to you, the DVD disappeared, which //does not// put a good light on you. Hopefully Danny was right about the bro code and won't be making brash decisions. Now that you think about it, that definitely wasn't police. Abaddon Industries letting the SPD take the reigns on an investigation of a poweful hacking tool? They were something else, probably disguised as police... you're lucky you didn't go out there, you 100% would've immediately gone on their radar. Then again... Fuck. This is bad. Really, really bad. If they're Abaddon Industries, then they have INCUBUS, which means they have just as much power as you, maybe even more. But then again, they could just be cops... right? Even that doesn't matter: you need to be really, really, //really// careful. Your thoughts are interrupted by Calypso. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>Hey, Calypso... what were-<</speech>> You stop yourself midsentence. Calypso's eyes are puffy and red, snot dripping down her nose. She speedwalks past you to the backdoor and leaves quickly. Shit, is she okay? Maybe you should've helped her out... what did the "police" say to make her react like that? You definitely shouldn't ask her about it now, it would defnitely make things worse. Though you should ask eventually - they must've really been grilling her to make her react like that, maybe questions about you... or maybe her parents? Shit, your lunch is done. So much for your yogurt. You sigh. You've been doing that a lot recently. You read somewhere that sighing lets off emotional steam by stretching muscles and reducing tension in the body.

Once you realize you don't get paid enough for this shit, you decide to clock out. <<speech "danny" "Danny">>What is up, homeboy! Workin hard or hardly workin', as they say in Vietnam.<</speech>> You don't think he knows where Vietnam is. Calypso's there too, but she's not really an active participant in the conversation. Her eyes are vacant, and she sniffles every couple of minutes. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>Hey, do you guys know where Chuck is?

Jesus, it looks like someone killed her dog or something. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>Yeah, I'll just close down early then.<</speech>> Before you leave, you remember you have to buy groceries for Dawn... and also that Flora is going to kill you tonight. You glance at the two sitting at the breakroom table. If you have no other plans tonight, they might be your best bet. Then again, you're not quite sure how up to it Calypso would be, but hanging out with Danny would be nice though, you too are pretty cool with each other already. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>Hey, um, did you guys want to do anything tonight?

While you desperately want to ruminate over the potential possibility of getting caught by Abaddon Industries and the also high likelihood you're being followed this very second... it's better if you just don't think about it. Calypso's crying probably stirred them up quite a bit, made it harder for them to get close to Big and Bigger and converse with Danny.

There's a general lull in the evening; less crime and protesting in the streets, so there's no need to worry about being jumped or questioned by the police. For a moment, it almost seems like you're not technically a criminal. However, this thought quickly is replaced by anxiety as you near the club you guys chose. There are a couple of police offiers having a conversation with a rowdy group of protesters. It hasn't escalated yet, but spend enough time in Seattle and you know it's going to get serious quick. <<speech "danny" "Danny">>Yo, $player_name! What's up, man!<</speech>> You hear Danny yell your name, appearing from from within the police group and jogging towards you. <<speech "you" "$player_name">>What the hell, dude? Why were you talking to the cops?<</speech>> <<speech "danny" "Danny">>Huh? Oh, I don't know. I saw all 'em talking and I thought it was like a big group or something, dudes I could hang with before you got here.<</speech>> <<speech "you" "$player_name">>You didn't see the cops?<</speech>> <<speech "danny" "Danny">>I thought those were male strippers.<</speech>> This is the exact reason you're so afraid for Danny to interact with the police. He's such a dumbass that he could easily spill your secrets out to everyone. You've seen his interactions in the groupchat, how he big-thumbs even simple conversations. He's a threat in the worst kind of way. <<speech "calypso" "Calypso">>Hey, guys...<</speech>> You're startled by Calypso's sudden appearance. Usually she would make an entrance by singing or complaining, but it looks like that cop interaction has got her down. She isn't even in proper night club attire - sweatpants and a band t-shirt. Really makes her look like a teenager. <<speech "danny" "Danny">>What's up, Calypso? You ready to g-g-g-get down!?<</speech>> Danny, unable to pick on social cues, starts to dance up on Calypso. She smiles uncomfortably, not even letting out at least a sympathy laugh. Her gaze moves to you, but she looks away when you make eye contact. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Heh, yeah, I guess. I just really want a drink right now...<</speech>> <<speech "danny" "Danny">>Hey, you're speaking my mind, girlypop! Right when we walk in, we're hitting the bar and downing as many Jose Cuervo's as we can! Drink, drink, drink, drink!<</speech>> <<speech "you" "$player_name">>You've had a hard day today, Calypso, you deserve a drink.<</speech>> She doesn't say anything, but there's a glint of irritation across her face. Maybe she's upset you didn't help her out, or maybe she's still raw from their bad cop, good cop grilling. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>...Yeah.<</speech>> She walks past you and Danny towards the line. <<speech "danny" "Danny">>Damn, is it that time of the month?<</speech>> <<speech "you" "$player_name">>You can't say that, Danny. And we'll talk about it later, after a few drinks.<</speech>> You have no intention of talking to Danny about it. Like you said earlier: Danny does not exist, and he shouldn't know anything about what happened today. For now, you need to focus on talking to Calypso and figuring out what the "police" talked to her about. It obviously got under her skin, and even if it wasn't about you, any information is good information - you need to figure out if those cops are legit or if you need to be extra worried for your safety. <center><<button [[TIME TO DANCE!!|SC2]]>><</button>></center></div>

For such an idiot, you sometimes wonder if that whole thing was just a calculated way to distract the bouncer from realizing Calypso's ID was fake. That thought vanishes as soon as Danny gets into the club - like a an distracted prisoner on a roller coaster, Danny unexpectedly grabs you and Calypso and books it straight for the bar; his energy and fervor is enough to get people to move out of the way and especially enough for him to start ordering drinks. You can't hear what he orders, but you're guessing it's probably going to have a 50% alcohol content. Calypso still hasn't said anything to Danny and especially not you. Her eyes are distant, but ever so often she'll take a quick glance at you. You figured now's a good time to assess the situation. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Hey, um, are you doing okay? I know today has kinda-<</speech>> <<speech "calypso" "Calypso">>I'm fine.<</speech>> She doesn't even look at her, but there's poison injected in those words. Calypso just needs a drink, then maybe she'll be a little more susceptible to your questioning. Danny enters the scene and shoves a shot glass into your hand. It's dark colored, so it's probably rum. You were never good with alcohol, but you want to get anything out of Calypso, you gotta be stronger than her. <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>Cheers! To a great night with my greatest best-<</speech>> Calypso downs the shot before he can finish, and Danny, although a teensy bit surprised, does the same, with you of course following suit. You gag a little. Fucking nasty. <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>Wooohooooo!! I'm feeling it now, b-b-b-baby! The energy of the room, the alcohol in my veins, I just know something dynamite is going to happen tonight!<</speech>> Danny goes to get another round of shots, but Calypso has ventured off, positioning herself nearby one of the bartenders as a quick means of getting drinks. You try to get closer but Danny stops you with another round of drinks. <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>Calypso left? Hey, that's whatever, she's missing out! You have me! And we have us! And me have you! Let's drink the night away and party... it... up!!<</speech>> More shots are handed to you... so you drink it. And then he orders another. And another. And another... And... <hr style="border-top: dotted 1px" /> <hr style="border-top: dotted 1px" /> <hr style="border-top: dotted 1px" /> <center><<button [[...|SC3]]>><</button>></center></div>

Luckily, it seems like she wants nothing to do with them. You get to her with relative ease now that the guys have begun to disperse, and find her taking another shot of clear vodka. You look at the bartender, who rolls her eyes. <<say 'Bartender'>>She yours?!<</say>> <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>I'm not property, bitch, and especially not his!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Well, um, she's part of my group, yeah!<</speech>> <<say 'Bartender'>>Yeah, well, Imma cut 'er off if she keeps actin' like this! Control 'er, or she's outta 'ere!<</say>> Everyone at the bar has to yell over the music to hear each other, but you catch her drift. You stand next to Calypso, who doesn't meet your eyes. Damn, maybe getting her drunk wasn't the best idea. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Did you hear what the bartender said!? You have to chill out a little, Calypso! No, like, swearing and yelling and stuff!<</speech>> <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Oh, now you care!? Where was this energy with the cops today!? T-T-Y-L, loser! Talk to the hand!<</speech>> She forms an L with one hand and shoves her hand in your face with the other. You guess she's upset at you for not diving in and being her Superman today, though is it common for someone to be //this// upset? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, Calypso, I'm sorry about today! I didn't even know what was happening at the time, I would've helped you if I did know though! I was on my break, I didn't realize the cops were there!<</speech>> <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh right, looooooossssseeeeerrrr! I know you heard it! Shoulda, woulda, coulda! All I'm hearing!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I didn't know, Calypso! And even if I was there, how could I have helped you!? They're cops!<</speech>> <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Doesn't matter, you should've still helped! Didn't you say you listened to what I said!? You aren't listening very good right now! Do I need to spell it out! I'M M-A-D A-T Y-O-U!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Mad because I didn't know you were in trouble!?<</speech>> <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Ding, ding, ding!!<</speech>> She starts to tap a shot glass with a utensil. You didn't realize how upset she would be over this - it's a little surprising to be honest. Why isn't she upset at Danny? Why is all this anger targetted towards you? Is it displacement, projection, or something more? Doesn't matter. At this rate, you're never going to learn about what she talked to police about. You guess you just gotta appeal to her female desires. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay, I'm sorry! I'm sorry I didn't know you were trouble and that I didn't do anything to help you out! That's 100% on me, you deserve better than that! I promise next time I'll try harder, okay!? I'll help you out next time!<</speech>> She's silent, not looking you in the eye. Then she, looks back at you. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>You want to make up for it!? Get me in there!<</speech>> She points her finger towards a bouncer guarding an entrance. From above the sea of people, you notice a "VIP SIGN." <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>If I get you in there, you'll forgive me!?<</speech>> She nods, her eyebrows forming an angry yet sorrowful expression. Fuck. If you want to learn anything from Calypso, you need to get into the VIP room. You're sure there are other ways, but right now, that's your best option. Hey, getting forgiven is what good people do, right? <center><<button [[GET FORGIVEN!|DANCEFLOOR]]>><<popover 'sleep'>><center>WELCOME TO FREE-ROAM MODE!<hr style="border-top: dotted 1px; color: #89bbfe;"/>In FREE ROAM MODE, you will be able to visit different areas of the current environment and interact with characters and objects.

You pull your jacket closer to your body - you hear the distant sound of mechanization, but you can't see a single machine. It's a bit frigthening; hearing the sounds but not seeing it's source; knowing something is there, but being unable to locate it's presence. It's almost as if there is no perpetrator... Maybe... maybe the <span class='green'>Universe</span> is talking to you? You shake your head. What the hell are you talking about? You're going crazy, maybe it was the granola bar you ate earlier... it was probably expired or something.

In the corner of the room sits gutted remains of walls and barriers alongside broken chairs, desks, and other office equipment. You look down at the ground and start to worry about whether or not you're going to step on broken glass. <<say '...' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>We just got the place, so we're still in the process of making it look a lot more aesthetically pleasing, but don't judge a book by it's cover! A lot of stuff gets done here!<</say>> Around the room, several FUCKNEVERMORE members are separated into groups, each with their own seemingly important task: one group draws on posterboards; another's drawing funny characters on a whiteboard; another group is trying to see how many pushups they can do in a row. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... looks like a well-oiled machine...<</speech>> <<say '...' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Exactly!<</say>> The blonde woman walks away, stepping over and avoiding large pieces of wood. You're not quite sure how much stuff is getting done in here, but you're guessing they're probably no where near their end goal of "saving society." You're no intellectual, but you feel like this group could do with some more effective leadership. FInally, your guide sits down on a ripped-up swivel chair, turning it to face you. <<say '...' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>So, you want to join our wonderful FUCKNEVERMORE Seattle Chapter!<</say>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yes, I want... I want to... join... FUCKNEVERMORE.<</speech>> It takes a great amount of effort to say those words, but they eventually leave your lips. It's grating though, and you swear you can taste blood in your mouth. <<say '...' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Awesome! So, obviously, we have to do a really quick interview and fill out some forms, but after that... you'll be sitting right alongside us fighting back against the evil NEVERMORE! Exciting!<</say>> She moves the swivel chair towards a filing cabinet, opening it up and pulling out some papers. She then moves towards a half-broken wooden desk, setting down the papers. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>First... introductions! My name is Molly, Seattle Chapter Director of Member Affairs! Actually, I'm the Director of Member Affairs for ''all'' the Chapters, but since we just opened up in Seattle, I've been spending a lot of time down here recruiting! But who cares about that! We're here for you, Mr...<</say>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>$player_name.<</speech>> She grabs a pencil off the ground and starts writing on the paper. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Okay, $player_name... and... why are you interested in the Seattle FUCKNEVERMORE Chapter?<</say>> Obviously you can't just say "Katherine Dawson forced me to help her destroy NEVERMORE and join you guys or else she'd shoot me in the head", so you decide to go a different route. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Well, um, you guys have a lot of similar ideals as me... and so I figured it's about time I do something about it, you know? Give my life some meaning. Make a difference in the world while I'm still here. Yeah... that's why, I guess.<</speech>> You watch Molly hum to herself as she writes down your answers with her crooked pencil. This doesn't seem that hard... Molly gave you a month to do this? <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Perfect. Next question... how would you assist in FUCKNEVERMORE's vision for a better future?<</say>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um... I guess... I would do as much as I can to help around... protest as much as I could, hand out as many fliers as you guys need, draw... draw posters or whatever... just try to be a valuable asset for the members here, be like their little monkey...<</speech>> You have no clue about what you're saying... but it seems to be working: Molly intently nods her head as she proceeds to write more and more. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>And... how has NEVERMORE affected your life?<</say>> Well, for one thing, they want to kill you... and you're being blackmailed by an the ex-CFO... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>When I heard about the Big Leak... it really affected me... because... because I have family who are on NEVERCare... and it hurts my heart to know that they're being taken advantage of by some big company that's supposed to be keeping us safe... plus it kinda makes me mad that the govenrment is just... letting them do what they want with no repercussions... groups like that... they don't deserve forgiveness...?<</speech>> You really hope she hasn't noticed you pausing every 10 seconds to figure out what you're gonna say next... but either she doesn't care or doesn't notice, because her focus is entirely on the paper as she scribbles and scribbles your thoughtful and well-put answers. Finally, Molly finishes the last sentence and sets the paper to the side as her gaze returns to you. Neither of you say a word... you're starting to notice the scrutinizing look she's giving you, as if she's trying to understand something about you... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Uh... so... am... am I good?<</speech>> The inquisitive look disappears. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Huh? Oh my gosh, sorry! I was... distracted by... by something... I'm sorry!<</say>> Is she calling you attractive? She grabs another piece of paper, desperately scrambling down some more words and numbers. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>But to answer your question... yeeeep! All good!<</say>> That's it? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>That's it?<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>That's it! Welcome, $player_name, to the FUCKNEVERMORE: Seattle Chapter!<</say>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But you only asked me like three questions.<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Oh yeah, the questions don't really mean anything, honestly. It's mainly a vetting process, separate the liars from the truthers. You wouldn't believe how many people come in here just to make things harder for us!<</say>> You look at the group doing push-ups in the corner. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>And now that you've been vetted, you're one step closer to becoming a member!<</say>> Huh? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Wait, I'm not a member?<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Oh no! You're not a member yet. You still have to pay your dues, do your pre-member volunteering hours, get your paperwork figured out... but once you get that done, you'll officially become a member of FUCKNEVERMORE!<</say>> <span id='replace'><center><<button "YOU'VE GOTTA BE FUCKING WITH ME">>\ <<replace '#replace'>>\ <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I have to pay you //money// to become a member?<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Yeah! Membership dues! The interview questions are to vet the bad apples, but the dues are to really weed out the people who aren't super serious about us. That's what the volunteering is for too! To show you really wanna dedicate yourself to our organization! No freeloaders allowed!<</say>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What's even the point in becoming a member? What's the difference between paying you and not paying you?<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Well, you aren't considered a member if you don't pay your dues, //and// being a member means you'll be able to participate in all things FUCKNEVERMORE, including meetings, chapter events, and so, so, ''so'' much more! It's like a badge showing that you really care about saving society!<</say>> Obviously you couldn't care less about FUCKNEVERMORE, but you didn't think you'd actually have to ''do'' stuff to prove your loyalty to them. And you only have a month to do this? Jesus Christ... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay, fine, but can I pay the dues later?<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Of course, take all the time you need! It's not like you have a time limit.<</say>> Yeah, uh-huh... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And what else do I have to do besides pay you? Paperwork or something?<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Paperwork ''and'' volunteering! But don't worry, I'll send the paperwork to corporate, so you don't have to do anything. But... the volunteering! That's all you! And since you're a new member, you'll have to do 12 volunteering sessions.<</say>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Now... is the paperwork and the volunteering! But don't worry, I'll send the paperwork to corporate, so you don't have to do anything. But... the volunteering! That's all you! Since you're a new member, you'll have to do 12 volunteering sessions.<</say>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>How many?!<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Twelve. But I promise you, they'll fly by in an instant!<</say>> Now, while you technically have a month to complete all this... hanging out with FUCKNEVERMORE 12 different times isn't something you really want to spend your time doing - there has got to be a different way to become a member... ...And the only way you could find that out is by probing your new friend Molly. <span id='replace2'><center><<button 'PROBE MOLLY'>>\ <<replace '#replace2'>>\ <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay, fine... 12 volunteering sessions. And how do I do that? How... do you even keep track of that stuff?<</speech>> Molly scoots over to the filing cabinet again, opening up the bottom section to grab more pieces of paper. She scoots back, setting them down on the desk. You can see names and numbers. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>This is a list of ''all'' our members, and right next to their names are the number of times they volunteered. Youuuuuuu'reeee righhhhhhht... here!<</say>> She starts to scribble your name on the bottom of the list, and right next to your name... is a big... fat... zero. <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>So we have different volunteering groups, types, events, whatever you wanna call it! Poster making, handing out fliers, protesting... whatever you're into, you can do it! But everytime you volunteer, the event leader takes attendance, and then after that, they come to me and I make a little tally mark next to your name to prove you volunteered. Of course, once that hits 12... you're officially a member! Easy peasy, right?<</say>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... easy peasy.<</speech>> Not easy peasy. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So, volunteer, get my attendance taken, bring the number up to 12?<</speech>> <<say 'Molly' 'images/avatars/molly.jpg'>>Exactly!<</say>> Sucks they don't do things online... kinda makes sense though - if you're a group against technology conglomerates, it'd probably be smart not to do things on the technology you're directly opposing. With that in mind, it seems like your best option is to either do the 12 volunteering sessions like a good little boy... or to manipulate the event leaders into lying about your attendance. Thing is, you've been trying ''really hard'' lately to not explicitly manipulate people for <span class='green'>karma</span> reasons, but you also ''really'' don't wanna volunteer 12 different times. Suddenly, you start to become increasingly aware of someone's eyes on you: it looks like Molly's moved about 12 inches closer to you, and is seemingly trying to stare directly into your soul. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...W-What are you doing?<</speech>> Molly doesn't move away - even when you try to back up, she seems to get closer, her wide eyes practically drilling holes into you Suddenly, her hands grab your face, and for a split second, you think Abaddon has finally got you. However, something completely different happens... Molly kisses you. After what feels like an eternity, she pulls away, a mixed expression of shock, excitement, and pure happiness plastered on her face. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>''I knew it.''<</speech>> Obviously you aren't opposed to kissing attractive girls, but you're kinda opposed to kissing ones you literally just met 5 minutes ago - at least take me to dinner first, amiright? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What the fuck was-<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>You're my soulmate.<</speech>> You're going to kill Katherine. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I'm your ''soulmate''? What are you ''talking'' about?!<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>When you walked in... everything shifted. Did you feel it? Did you feel the energy shift? It was like the <span class='green'>Universe</span> had an orgasm!<</speech>> Ew? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No, I didn't feel the... energy orgasm... and even if I did, that doesn't mean you have to kiss me!<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>No, I had to, $player_name! I needed to confirm it!<</speech>> Molly grabs your hand and you're surprised by just how hot they are. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I know this is hard to wrap your head around, and believe me, when my eyes were opened for the first time, it was a lot for me too... but you have to trust me, okay? That kiss, it proved something to me... it proved that you you are my ''astral soulmate''; my ''twin-flame''; the ''yang to my yin''. Every moment in your life, every experience you've ever had... it brought us together!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Molly, we literally met like 10 minutes ago; I can't possibly be your soulmate, we barely even know anything about each other!<</speech>> Molly shakes her hand and squeezes your hand harder. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>That's the point, $player_name! Astral soulmates... sometimes they know each other, but most of the time they don't, and it's up the <span class='green'>Universe</span> to bring them together. It doesn't matter if you never met me... because I know everything about you! We are meant to be one with each other!<</speech>> Molly is getting closer and closer to you, her pupils practically dilating with every word. To say you're freaked out would be an understatement. Finally, you get enough strength to pull your hand away from hers, much to her dismay. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Molly... honestly, I think all of this is a little too much... Maybe I should-<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>''No!''<</speech>> Her sudden aggression surprises you - if there wasn't a desk still between the two of you, she might've taken a more physical approach to making you stay. She takes a deep breathe, her wild look of mania disappearing slightly. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I mean... please don't leave. ''Please.''<</speech>> Molly's face morphs into some kind of desperate puppy-dog pleading... it almost makes you feel bad for her... Sighing, you turn back towards the desk - obviously she's kinda off her rocker, but if you play your cards right, you might be able to use her soulmate stuff to your advantage... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Fine... but... just... slow down, okay? I'm new to all this... <span class='green'>Universe</span> stuff. And no trying to kiss me, okay? At least ask me first...<</speech>> With your positive response, Molly's manic expression returns, but at a level much less than before. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I know it's a lot... and I know it's probably really scary... but I promise all of this knowledge won't hurt you! If anything, it'll really help you learn how to live life fully! Honestly, the only reason you're probably so hesitant about all this is because you're not enlightened yet!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Enlightened?<</speech>> Instead of responding to the question, Molly opens up her desk and pulls out... A blue rock. <center><img src='images/objects/lapislazuli.jpg'></center> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>When I was younger, I was depressed and lost, wandering this world like a specter... but ''this''... this saved me. It opened me up to a world of love and connction, and it really shoed me what it meant to be human... and I believe... no, I ''know'' it can do the same for you!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What is it?<</speech>> She doesn't respond, instead holding out the blue rock, obviously waiting for you to grab it... still, despite her positive portrayal of neo-spirituality, you're hesistant to grab it - what if it turns you into a frog or something. Seemingly reading your mind, Molly places your hand in hers. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I know it's a lot to wrap your head around, and that's probably my fault with all my craziness and stuff... but I swear it's not going to hurt you. The <span class='green'>Universe</span> loves you, $player_name, and it would never do anything to hurt you.<</speech>> <span class='green'>The Universe loves you. It would never do anything to hurt you.</span> You reach out and grab the crystal. <center><span class="obtained">YOU OBTAINED "A BLUE ROCK"</span></center><<set $bluerock to true>> It's smooth to the touch and slightly warm... sadly, you don't immediately feel like your chakras have all been opened, so you're starting to doubt the effectiveness of this enlightening object. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>it's lapis lazuli, known for it's enlightening properties. If you spend some time with it, and I mean ''really spend some time with it'', I promise you'll feel yourself becoming more and more in touch with the world around you. It helped me, and since you and are astral-soulmates, I know it'll help you.<</speech>> You've seen your fair-share of neo-spiritual mumbo-jumbo on the Internet, but witnessing it up close... you can why people call it a "pseudoscience": if this little rock has enough power to make you believe all the weird shit Molly is talking about, you might just become a crystal girl too. Still, there's a reason why you're entertaining this spirituality conversation with a girl you just met 5 minutes ago... and nows the time to pull the trigger. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Does this... enlightening stuff... does it take a long time?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Oh yeah, it'll take a ''loooooooong'' time! It took years for me to become fully connected with the <span class='green'>Universe.</span><</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>You can't give me like a library book or something? A TL;DR on all the things I need to know?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>That wouldn't be right... you need to learn from the source! I can't expect us to become fully realized astral-soulmates if you take shortcuts!<</speech>> Yeah, unfortunately, you don't have years... you have a month. Putting the rock in your pocket, you take a look at Molly, trying your best to "connect" with her on a spiritual level to really push your point forward. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, I really appreciate you taking your time to enlighten me and stuff, but... with everything going on with the volunteering and FUCKNEVERMORE, I don't know if I'll have time to really devote myself to your... spiritual teachings. And believe me, I really wanna see where you're coming from, but... time isn't in my favor.<</speech>> Molly bites her lip, deep in thought - hopefully you were able to sow the seeds of uncertainty within her. Eventually, Molly looks back at you and scoots her chair closer to the desk, closing the space between the two of you. She leans forward, her voice a whisper. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>//Usually, I can't do this. but... but I hear you, and I really, really, really want you to fully realize the extent of your astral connection, so...//<</speech>> Molly pauses, nervously looking around the room before resuming the conversation. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>//If you can show me that you recognize that you and me are meant to be... if you can become even the teensiest bit enlightened... then maybe... maybe I'll let you become a member, no volunteering session needed.//<</speech>> You got her. Molly's eyes drift to your lips, and then back to you. The tension is definitely not in your head - this woman is definitely wants to connect with you on a level that isn't spiritual... Suddenly, her eyes revert back to their seriousness tone. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>//''But''... only if you can show me. And no lying! I can sniff <span class='green'>Universal</span>posers from a mile away.//<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>//Okay, deal. I'll... become enlightened.//<</speech>> Obviously you don't believe in all of this spiritual shit, but at the end of the day, it's better than volunteering... but it's just your luck to meet //another// girl who's fully convinced that you're her soulmate. In another scenario, this might be your dream... but right now, it's more of a distraction - you can't let your dick do all the thinking, especially when your life is in danger. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Haha! That's so funny, $player_name! You really are a hoot!<</speech>> Molly dramatically pulls away from the desk, slapping her knees whilst looking around the room. Be a little more obvious... She eventually returns to her papers, shuffling them and returning them to the filing cabinet... guess you're officially half-a-NEVERMORE member. <<speech 'molly' ' Molly'>>But I really think you should do the 12 days, $player_name! If you really want to help our movement and save society, getting on your hands and knees and getting dirty with some volunteering will definitely show your passion and resolve!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... I'll keep that in mind.<</speech>> So you have three potential options: 1. Torture yourself and volunteer 12 different times. 2. Bring your karma level down by manipulating Event Leaders to lie about your attendance... 3. Or become enlightened and make Molly believe you actually give a shit about her spiritual craziness... So many different ways you can approach this shitty situation... is that what Katherine was trying to do? Get you to think out of the box by giving you a difficult scenario? You really hope this is worth it... Molly stands up, seemingly ready to kiss you but eventually controlling herself. <<speech 'molly' ' Molly'>>$player_name... I hope... no, I ''know'' you'll become a member of FUCKNEVERMORE! It's your <span class='green'>Universal</span> calling! And I'll be here every step of the way... because that's what astral soulmates do! You'll become a member of FUCKNEVERMORE in no time, and when you do... you and me... we're gonna do ''amazing things!''<</speech>> <center><<button [[AND YOU CAN'T WAIT...|FUCKNEVERMOREHQ]]>><<editcycle 'time' change 1>><<set $mainquest to 1>><</button>></center>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span></div>\

In the corner of the room sits gutted remains of walls and barriers alongside broken chairs, desks, and other office equipment. You look down at the ground and start to worry about whether or not you're going to step on broken glass. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>We just got the place, so we're still in the process of making it look a lot more aesthetically pleasing, but don't judge a book by it's cover! A lot of stuff gets done here!<</speech>> Around the room, several FUCKNEVERMORE members are separated into groups, each with their own seemingly important task: one group draws on posterboards; another's drawing funny characters on a whiteboard; another group is trying to see how many pushups they can do in a row. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... looks like a well-oiled machine...<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Exactly!<</speech>> Molly walks away, stepping over and avoiding large pieces of wood on the ground. You're not quite sure how much stuff is getting done in here, but you're guessing they're probably no where near their end goal of "saving society." You're no intellectual, but you feel like this group could do with some more effective leadership. FInally, Molly sits down on a ripped-up swivel chair, turning it to face you. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Now, $player_name, before we talk about anything... I wanted to give you something!<</speech>> You half-expect another fucking flier or pamphlet as she reaches into her pocket, but instead, she pulls out... A blue rock. <center><img src='images/objects/lapislazuli.jpg'></center> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What is that?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>This... is lapis lazuli! A stone known for it's enlightening and wisdom-based properties! Here! Hold it!<</speech>> Great, more of the crazy spiritual stuff. You're hesistant on grabbing the stone - what if she laced it with something else that'll make you hallucinate? You are ''not'' trying to go back down that ecstasy route. Still, you can't ignore the persistence in Molly's eyes, so you sigh and grab the rock. If you're going to be a FUCKNEVERMORE member, you should probably try to get on their member's good side. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Why're giving me a rock? Is this part of the FUCKNEVERMORE membership or something?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Well... the other day, I probably freaked you out about the whole soulmate stuff, so I did some thinking and I realized... you aren't enlightened! That's why everything is so confusing and scary! And that's what the lapis is for!<</speech>> You look down at the seemingly "eye-opening" stone. It's pretty, but it doesn't align any of your chakras or open your third eye. Right now, it just looks like something you could buy at the flea market for like 2 bucks. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>This is gonna... enlighten me?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Obviously not yet, but if you keep it with you and spend some time with it, you'll see changes, I promise you! Once you interact with it long enough, then you'll finally realize how fate and destiny and the <span class='green'>Universe</span> brought us together!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Can't you just give me a guide or something? Or like a library book? Do a TL;DR of the neo-spiritual stuff?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Sorry, but I can't. Everything I've learned about my own spirituality and the <span class='green'>Universe</span>, I learned it from gripping the Earth and allowing myself to become one with my own existence. It's not something you can understand by reading a book. It's understood by opening yourself up to the world!<</speech>> All this is starting to become a headache... you didn't think this would come up again, but you guess Molly //really// wants you to understand the soulmate stuff. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, Molly... the soulmate stuff... like, it's cool and all, but I just don't think this rock is gonna help me.<</speech>> Molly starts to make a dramatic puppy dog face, clamping her hands together and pouting her lips. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Please, $player_name! Just keep the stone, okay? I promise it won't cause you any pain. It's an awakening process. You'll feel so much clearer after, like the world has really opened itself up to you.<</speech>> You look back down and sigh. Where's the harm in hanging out with a rock? Like Molly said, even if it doesn't work, it's not like it's gonna damage you or anything... at least you hope not. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay, fine. I'll keep the rock.<</speech>> Molly lets out a cry of joy. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You just saying that proves we're connected beyond anything on this current plane! It's destiny, $player_name! That decision you made, it was preconceived! It was known before you even said it! It's fate! This... is fate!<</speech>> You're not going to ponder the depressing implications of fate and your choices, so you just nod your head and pocket the rock. <center><span class="obtained">YOU OBTAINED "A BLUE ROCK"</span></center><<set $bluerock to true>> Molly, still on her chair, scoots away towards a filing cabinet and half-destroyed desk. She opens the top drawer, shuffling through the extensive number of sheets before pulling out a couple. She sets them down on the desk and picks up a stray pencil off the ground. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Okay, $player_name! With that out of the way, let's get down to FUCKNEVERMORE business!<</speech>> Molly stands up quickly, spreading her arms out to present the area to you. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>First... introductions! My name is Molly Moon, Seattle Chapter Director of Member Affairs! Actually, I'm the Director of Member Affairs for ''all'' the Chapters, but since we just opened up in Seattle, I've been spending a lot of time down here recruiting! That's why this place looks like this... we're still in the process of renovating and getting everything spick-and-span, but it will look a lot better as we get more members!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So you're responsible for the fliers?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Well, I didn't make the fliers, but I'm responsible for everything related to them being handed out and stuff! I talk and recruit and present FUCKNEVERMORE in a way that more people will come and join us! As my coworkers say, "I'm the joyful face of the movement!"<</speech>> It was a smart move on their part to make her the first face you see when you walk in... you don't think you've met anyone more extroverted. Still, you're surprised there aren't more people here... then again, Seattle is pretty opposed to things that are against tech companies. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>And you're $player_name! And you want to join FUCKNEVERMORE!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... I do. I want... I want to join.<</speech>> It takes a great amount of effort to say those words, but they eventually leave your lips. It's grating though, and you swear you can taste blood in your mouth. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Perfect! So, before we let anyone even think about joining, we have to do a really quick interview... but since I already know you...<</speech>> She does a dramatic wink. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>...you're pretty much already in!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I'm in?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Yep! You're in! Welcome to FUCKNEVERMORE: Seattle Chapter!<</speech>> There's no way Katherine gave you a month to do this... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So, you're saying... I'm a member now?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Oh no, you're not a member yet!<</speech>> Annnnnnd... there it is. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>The interview and stuff is just a precautionary measure, like a vetting process! To make sure you really are passionate and interested in joining us!<</speech>> Another wink. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But... I'm not a member.<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Nope! You still have to do a couple more things to become a member!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Like what?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Well, you still have to pay your dues, do your volunteering hours, and get your paperwork figured out!<</speech>> <span id='replace'><center><<button "YOU'VE GOTTA BE FUCKING WITH ME">>\ <<replace '#replace'>>\ <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I have to pay you //money// to become a member?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Yeah! Membership dues! It's to weed out the people who aren't super serious about us. That's what the volunteering is for too! To show you really wanna dedicate yourself to our organization! No freeloaders allowed!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What's even the point in becoming a member? What's the difference between paying you and not paying you?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Well, you aren't considered a member if you don't pay your dues, //and// being a member means you'll be able to participate in all things FUCKNEVERMORE, including meetings, chapter events, and so, so, ''so'' much more! It's like a badge showing that you really care about saving society!<</speech>> Obviously you couldn't care less about FUCKNEVERMORE, but you didn't think you'd actually have to ''do'' stuff to prove your loyalty to them. And you only have a month to do this? Jesus Christ... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But, Molly... you know me. You knew how hesistant I was about this stuff. Even having me here, that's basically paying you dues!<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Sorry, $player_name, but you have to pay the dues. Doesn't matter if we're astral soulmates or not, I don't think my bosses would get it...<</speech>> It was a good try, you guess. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay, fine, but can I pay the dues later?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Of course, take all the time you need! I already know you're gonna pay them anyway... call it Molly-astral-soulmate-intuition!<</speech>> She really ''will not'' let that go. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And what else do I have to do besides pay you? Paperwork or something?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Paperwork ''and'' volunteering! But don't worry, I'll send the paperwork to corporate, so you don't have to do anything. But... the volunteering! That's all you! And since you're a new member, you'll have to do 12 volunteering sessions.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>How many?!<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Twelve. But I promise you, they'll fly by in an instant!<</speech>> Now, while you technically have a month to complete all this... hanging out with FUCKNEVERMORE 12 different times isn't something you really want to spend your time doing - there has got to be a different way to become a member... ...And the only way you could find that out is by probing Molly. <span id='replace2'><center><<button 'PROBE MOLLY'>>\ <<replace '#replace2'>>\ <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>How I do even do 12 sessions? How do you keep track?<</speech>> Molly scoots over to the filing cabinet again, opening up the bottom section to grab more pieces of paper. She scoots back, setting them down on the desk. A long list of names and numbers (similar to what you found on Molly's computer) are scribbled down. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>This is a list of ''all'' our members, and right next to their names are the number of times they volunteered. And youuuuuuu'reeee righhhhhhht... here!<</speech>> She starts to scribble your name on the bottom of the list, and right next to your name... is a big... fat... ''zero.'' <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>So we have different volunteering groups, types, events, whatever you wanna call it! Poster making, handing out fliers, protesting... whatever you're into, you can do it! But everytime you volunteer, the event leader takes attendance, and then after that, they come to me and I make a little tally mark next to your name to prove you volunteered. Of course, once that hits 12... you're officially a member! Easy peasy, right?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... easy peasy.<</speech>> Not easy peasy. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So, volunteer, get my attendance taken, bring the number up to 12?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Exactly!<</speech>> You scratch your head. Molly looks at you inquisitively. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>What's wrong?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, Molly... I don't know... I'm... still feeling a little bit hesistant about all this, and... I have other responsibilities, and... 12 sessions is kinda a lot... I don't know, maybe it isn't the best time to join. I'll just-<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>''No!''<</speech>> Molly franctically grabs your hand, desperately trying to keep you from leaving. Her grip takes you off guard, but what you were doing is working. Eventually she collects herself. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I mean... no, please don't leave. I really need you to join. It's ''fate'', $player_name. It's the <span class='green'>Universe's</span> plan to have us work together. You can't leave!<</speech>> Molly bites her lip, looking around the room. Suddenly, she leans forward, her voice a whisper. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I'll bump it down to 6 sessions, but you can't tell anyone, okay? 6 sessions and you'll become a full-blown member of FUCKNEVERMORE.<</speech>> It's not 0, but you don't want to push it... unless... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And... what if I become enlightened?<</speech>> Her eyes widen at your word usage. Are you really gonna try this route? You're getting desperate it seems. Kinda makes sense thought, you were never the volunteering type. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Enlightened? Like... what if you... //understand?//<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... what if... what if I spend time connecting with the <span class='green'>Universe</span>? Understanding how we're astral soulmates and becoming one with my own existence and... stuff? If I do that, connect with the rock or whatever... that would show that I'm serious about FUCKNEVERMORE, right?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>If you did that, that would mean you're not only serious about FUCKNEVERMORE, but that you're serious about... ''us''.<</speech>> Yeah, you really are getting desperate. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So, if I was able to show you that I'm serious about... us, would you... make me a member? Without the sessions?<</speech>> Molly looks away, thinking deeply about your request. Finally, she closes the gap again, looking around the room. <<speech 'molly' ' Molly'>>If you can prove to me that you believe in us... then I'll make you a member. No 6 volunteering sessions necessary. ''But!'' Only, only, ''only'' if you can prove it to me. And I have to believe you too. Okay? <span style='font-size: 20px;' class='green'>I trust you</span>, $player_name.<</speech>> This woman is crazy, but for now, you'll appease to her delusions just for a little bit. Avoiding the Twelve Days of Volunteering is your ultimate goal now, and at this point, you'll do anything. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay. Deal.<</speech>> She leans back, flipping through the papers and looking around the room nervously. Guess she doesn't want anyone to know about these "special accomdations" she's giving. <<speech 'molly' ' Molly'>>But I really think you should do the 6 days, $player_name! I know you might still be hesistant about everything, but I promise, getting down and dirty with the others will really open your eyes.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... I'll keep that in mind.<</speech>> Molly folds up the papers and throws them back into the filing cabinet. You keep your eye on them, watching as they disappear into the black void. You know, if you can find a way to convince some Event Leaders to increase your attendance without actually physically volunteering... you might have another way of avoid the Twelve Days of Torture. Then again, it might just be easier to actually volunteer. Different ways you can approach this shitty situation are starting to open up to you... is that what Katherine was trying to do? Get you to think out of the box by giving you a difficult scenario? You're too deep in thought to notice Molly walking around the desk to give a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. She holds your face, staring you in the eyes with... are those tears? <<speech 'molly' ' Molly'>>I know you're not a member yet, $player_name... but even just having you here talking about joining and volunteering and... //becoming enlightened//... it makes me so happy and warm inside! I just know the <span class='green'>Universe</span> brought you here to me... it was fate. And I promise you, $player_name... you will see! The <span class='green'>Universe</span> doesn't lie! You and me, we're going to save society!<</speech>> <center><<button [[AND YOU CAN'T WAIT...|FUCKNEVERMOREHQ]]>><<editcycle 'time' change 1>><<set $mainquest to 1>><<set $mollyquest to 1>><</button>></center>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span>\ </div>

Lying to Molly would probably only make things worse. You sit back in the your chair with the rock in your hand. Closing your eyes, you take deep breathes, trying desperately to feel for any sort of change in the environment or in the vibrational construct of your life. You wonder if it'll be like the ecstacsy again... Jesus, you really hope not.

Did you shove this up your fucking ass? Is that why it's wet?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No, Azzy, it's not a fetish thing. And just give me the rock.<</speech>> You try to grab the stone out of her hand, but all you hit is air. It's as if her hand teleported out of the way... Jesus, you would think all that smoking and drinking would've fucked up her reaction time, but it's faster than anything you've ever seen. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Not until you tell me why you're shoving rocks in your mouth.<</speech>> You don't even bother arguing back with her. You couldn't care less about the stupid rock, but you're sure Molly wouldn't appreciate you losing it. Obviously, you can't tell Azzy the real reason why you're sitting playing with rocks, but you can always tell her half the truth. Hell, maybe, in some twisted way, she might give you some insight on your enlightenment situation. Don't drugs and enlightenment go together? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, I... Fine. So, there's this girl...<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Oh, Jesus...<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Hey, you wanted an explanation!

I don't know, I kinda like her, so I wanted to, like, learn about her interests. And this... this rock is supposed to enlighten me or whatever. I guess. So, that's why I'm sitting her... alone... with a rock. Because of... a girl.<</speech>> Half truth, half lie. You hope Azzy bought it, because you kinda want the rock back... <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>...<</speech>> Azzy doesn't say anything. Is she... at a loss for words? Has your expression of affection and devotion for another human finally broken down her walls of aggression? <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>...You are so fucking ''agonizing.'' Your entire existence is such an... ick. Jesus, I'm gonna need a fuckin' shower.<</speech>> She drops the rock on the ground, forcing you to bend down and pick it up. You're pretty sure Azzy's malicious personality might've messed with it's power, but hopefully Molly doesn't notice. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>But just so you know... holding a rock and doing breathing exercises isn't gonna make this girl wanna fuck you.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah? Well, who gives a shit what I do? I know for a fact you don't.<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>I give shit when you're doing it 5 fucking feet away from you.

I did molly already, and honestly, I don't think I ever wanted to go down that road ever again.<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>You did ecstasy? ...Huh.<</speech>> //Now// it seems like she's at a loss for words. Guess it only takes almost destroying your brain cells to gain Azzy's respect. Unfortunately, she might have a point though. When you did the molly, you did feel very... connected. You're not really a fan of doing drugs, but if it means getting out of 6 volunteering sessions, you may just have to. And plus, you're not really sure if holding a rock is the best way to get enlightened. You roll the rock in your hand before putting it back on your desk. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay, Azzy... since you're obviously the drug expert, what drugs should I do to become... enlightened?<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Just smoke some weed or do more ecstasy.. I don't fucking know, I'm not your mom. Jesus, are you really that much of a little bitch to start doing drugs for some pussy? You know there a shitload of prostitutes down on Aurora, and they don't require you to lose brain cells to fuck 'em.<</speech>> Yeah, you're ''not'' going to do molly again.

Well, it was worth a try. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay, fine, no smoking together. But can you at least tell me where to get it? Like, do you have a pot dealer or something?<</speech>> Azzy may have helped you out, but you still need to know where to actually //buy// drugs. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>A //pot// dealer? You know weed has been legal since, like, the fucking 2010s, right? <</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>You know, you should probably answer my questions, or else the whole "me-talking-to-you" thing you hate so much is gonna keep happening.<</speech>> Azzy rolls her eyes, but doesn't have an insightful response to your quip. She puts down her joint and goes on her phone. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Since apparently you're fucking 10 years old and can't walk outside or use a GPS... here. It's called //Herb's House of Holographic Hindsight//. Don't ask me about the name, I don't fucking know either. But it's where I get my shit.

Smoking seems pretty intense, plus you're putting shit in your lungs, but you've heard edibles can be a lot if you don't take it right... but then again, does it really matter? Enlightenment is the goal, and, frankly, you don't have much confidence in the power of marijuana in achieving that. Still, it's either this... or molly. <span id='replace2'><center><<button "GIVE ME A RUNDOWN">>\ <<replace '#replace2'>>\ You know what? If you're gonna be sticking an unknown substance into your body, you should probably know what the effects are. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Actually, could you tell me, like, the differences between everything? What a... Indigo, or <span class='green'>Satan</span> is... or whatever you called it.<</speech>> <<speech 'liza' '...'>>Heeeeell yeaaaah, bro, I'l give you the lowdown. It'd be real fucked if you greened out your first sesh.<</speech>> No clue what that means, but okay. She turns around and starts pointing at the large glass jars filled with small, green flowers. <<speech 'liza' '...'>>Aight, man... so you got three different strains... those are like categories and shit... but you got Indica, which makes you all reeeelaaxxxxed and caaaaaaaalm and cooooooool and shit. Then ya got Sativa, which makes you all energerized and happy and shit, and then there's the hybrid stuff, which is, like, a fuuuuusion of the two.<</speech>> You squint your eyes at the jars. Not one flower is the same as the other; one has purple flakes in it, another is green with flakes of orange, and another isn't even green... it's an obnoxiously bright blue. <<speech 'liza' '...'>>And alllllll this shit up here, it goes into those categories. Like... this one, it's called "Bubba Kush". Hehe... but Bubba Kush, it makes you relaxed and sleepy and shit. And then this one, it's called "Acapulco Gold", it makes you feel, like... horny. Wait, not horny... like... euphoric? Heh, sorry, I don't know the word, man. But, like, before you get anything, look at what it does to you, you know? Don't just pick it 'cause of the strain.<</speech>> What a great teacher... though you can't deny you haven't learned anything from her. She moves back over to the counter and points at the different rolling papers, gummies, and other essentials inside. She's awfully close to you, but she doesn't seem to mind. She reeks of weed. <<speech 'liza' '...'>>So, with that... you can either ingest, which is, like, eating, or smoke, which is, like, breathing. If you do edibles, it'll be waaaaaay more potent though. Like, hella intense. So, if you don't want your first sesh to be, like, crazy, prob should smoke. But then you get shit in your lungs... fuck, bro... I don't know if I can pick for you, man, my fuckin' head hurts...<</speech>> You scan over the various buds. While you're not keen on inhaling smoke, Azzy does a thing or two about smoking weed, so maybe it's best to go with something you have a minor grasp on; plus, the gummies worry you a little bit - you don't like the sound of the word "intense." Guess you're gonna be smoking soon. <span id='replace3'><center><<button 'BUY WEED'>>\ <<replace '#replace3'>>\ You point at the buds behind your budtender. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I'll do the flowers... or buds... or the green things.<</speech>> <<speech 'liza' '...'>>Heh. Cool, man. Which ones?<</speech>> Fuck, you weren't really listening to her explanation of all the different flavors and types. You scan the selection, trying to figure out with of the varying shades of green is gonna do it for you... but nothing pops out, and frankly, you aren't too sure what you're really looking for. It's not like they have a big sign with the words ''ENLIGHTENING'' over one of the jars. As a last resort, you ask the question you've been trying to avoid. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, can you just... get me something that'll... enlighten me?<</speech>> Your budtender blankly stares at you until eventually smirking in a cartoonish manner, like the side of her mouth was being pulled by a string. <<speech 'liza' '...'>>Heeeeeelllllll yeeeeaaaaahhhh, bro... I'll enlighten you ''hard''.<</speech>> She reaches up and grabs a jar from one of the shelves before diving her hands in and pulling out a bud. <center><img src='images/objects/bud.png'></center> <<speech 'liza' '...'>>Grand Daddy Purp. This shit is the real deal... great for meditiation and just... being one with yourself and shit. Like Buddah.<</speech>> You don't really get what she means, but if it means you'll become enlightened after doing it, then that's your choice for today. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay. Yeah, I'll do it.<</speech>> <<speech 'liza' '...'>>Hell yeah, man. How much you want?<</speech>> There's amounts? How much does Azzy get... like, 50g? Wait, that sounds fucking insane... or do they sell this stuff in lbs? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>...Half a gram.<</speech>> She gives you a funny look and a weird half-open, half-closed, half-smile, half-smirk. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Is that the wrong amount?<</speech>> <<speech 'liza' '...'>>Heh. I'll get ya an eighth, aight? That should be good for a couple joints. And I'll get you some rolling papers too...<</speech>> You're guessing half a gram wasn't probably the ideal amount to buy. She asks for your ID and you hand it to her before she finishes up the purchase. Was it smart to start off with raw bud? Maybe you should've gone with the edibles. Will smoking really be enough? Now that you think about it, you've only ever smoked once before... could something bad happen? Like... could you die? Or start tweaking out mid smoke? Maybe you need a supervisor... You look up at the budtender. She's cute... in a weird, hippy, obviously-smokes-a-lot-a-day kinda way. If you did have a supervisor, you'd prefer it to be with someone who doesn't want to shoot you in the back of the head (Azzy). But would she be up for it? You literally just met ten minutes ago... Fuck it. You're feeling confident... kind of. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Hey, um... what's your name? So I can thank you.<</speech>> Okay, Casanova, you're on a much better roll than you were before. She looks up at you with half-closed eyelids. Maybe this wasn't the best idea... <<speech 'liza' 'Liza'>>I'm Liza... how 'bout you, man?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I'm $player_name. It's nice to meet you. and, uh, thank you. For helping me pick out the weed.<</speech>> She chuckles and goes back to ringing you up. Fuck, how do you ask this kinda thing? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Hey, uh, Liza...<</speech>> <<speech 'liza' 'Liza'>>Hmm?<</speech>> She's having a really hard time hitting the buttons on the register. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So... you know how I'm like a weed virgin, right? Well, I was wondering if we could... or like, you could help me... with... the whole getting high process. Like, you could supervise me or whatever, you know? Would you be cool with that?<</speech>> Liza once again stares blankly at you before doing her signature weird smirk. <<speech 'liza' 'Liza'>>Heh. You're funny.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Is... that a yes?<</speech>> She shakes her head. <<speech 'liza' 'Liza'>>Sorry, man... I can't be that for ya. My friends probably wouldn't fuck with a virgin, and whatever I do, I do with them... plus, not gonna lie, bro... I don't really know ya.<</speech>> You didn't really know what you were expecting, but it's kinda true; you were definitely overstepping your bounds, must've been the second-hand high. Still, there's still the possibility for you two to get closer... if you practice your marijuana-consumption ability. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No, you're right, that's my bad. I'll practice in the meantime though, so keep the invitation open! Heh...<</speech>> Jesus Christ. Liza chuckles and hands you the bud. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Wait, I didn't pay.<</speech>> Liza shrugs. <<speech 'liza' 'Liza'>>You good, man. I paid for it.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you sure? It's really not a problem, I can...<</speech>> Another shrug. <<speech 'liza' 'Liza'>>You're a weed virgin, man. It's like a sample, you feel? You shouldn't have to pay to pop your cherry. Heh... <</speech>> You don't really know how to reply to that, but you just smile and thank her again. She, of course, does her string smirk before leaning back over the register. Now you have the weed... guess you just need to take it... and become enlightened... <center><<button [[LEAVE|CAPITOLHILL]]>><<set $enlighten to 1>><<set $weed to 2>><<editcycle 'time' change 1>><</button>></center>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span></div>\

Almost instinctively, you start walking on your tippy toes as you near the time clock, looking around nervously. It's only been a couple days since you've started your new life, but it honestly feels like a decade has gone by; it's almost as if you've had a change in perspective, and frankly, not in a good way. If you were anxious about getting caught before, you've hit new levels of paranoia... <<say '...'>>$player_name!<</say>> And it doesn't help you that you work with directly with it's secondary source. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>$player_name! Did ya see my text?!<</speech>> She practically rushes you, and when you just about think she's going to pounce, she stops herself. Honestly, you're surprised she was able to hold herself back; you'd think her obsession with you would overload her higher-functioning. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Oh shit, I'm sorry... I've had a busy couple days and I haven't had the chance to... check my messages.<</speech>> You know, now that you think about it, if anyone ever tells you that they didn't see your message, it's a lie - it's the 21st century, humans are practically glued to their phones. Still, hopefully Calypso doesn't have that as much insight into human behavior as you do. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Well, that's okay! You're here now, right?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yep... I'm here now...<</speech>> Awkward silence. You're not sure if you're intentionally trying to make this conversation awkward or if the events from the nightclub made it like that. Honestly, you don't even know what your plan is with Calypso anymore: Are you gonna just string this girl along as you work with her mom in destroying NEVERMORE, or are you gonna shut it down even before it sprouted? Fuck, you haven't even weighed the pros and cons yet! <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>So... um, about... you know...<</speech>> Guess you can't avoid the conversation any longer... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, I'm...

You desperately try to shield it away with your hand, but it's no use... you've gone blind. You're having a difficult time remembering... anything. You know you smoked weed last night and fell asleep, but... that's about it. Well, actually, now that you think about it... you were asleep, so it kinda makes sense you wouldn't remember anything. You rub your head... Jesus, you must still be high. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What time is it?<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Time for you to get up. I have shows to watch.<</speech>> You rub your eyes and notice you're still on the couch... with a big puddle of drool keeping you company. Man, you were out like a light - is this how Azzy sleeps every night? Man, maybe you should start smoking more, might help with your sleep debt. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Did you not fucking hear me? Get up! Up! Up!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I'm getting up! Just... give me a second...<</speech>> You get up off your makeshift bed and corpse walk over to the kitchen to get a drink of water and something to help with your sudden, large appetite. Azzy occupies the space you left, turning on the television to a blaring volume. Digging through the pantry, you find a large everything bagel and a soda: meal fit for a king. You down the two - it's as if <span class='green'>God</span> himself pissed liquid gold down your throat: you're an entirely new person. Wiping your mouth, you finally feel like you have enough energy to start asking Azzy questions (that she probably won't answer). <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Azzy... what happened last night?<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>You smoked weed, starting talking about Hippogriffs or something, and then passed out.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>That's it?<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Well, we also fucked, but that doesn't matter.<</speech>> You choke up a piece of your bagel. Azzy rolls her eyes. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>In your fucking dreams, virgin. You would evaporate if you even saw my pussy.<</speech>> You cough, drinking more water to calm your nerves down. Azzy sits up and turns down the television's volume. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>So... do you feel... "enlightened"?<</speech>> You stare at her, trying to come up with a good answer. Do you feel enlightened? Does the <span class='green'>Universe</span> feel larger to you? Are you connected to everyone and everything on an astral and spiritual level? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No.<</speech>> Azzy snorts and sits back down on the couch. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Guess you're gonna have to try again if you wanna fuck some spiritual pussy.<</speech>> Yeah... guess you're gonna have to try again. But just how many times is it gonna take? Did you even make any progress? You remember being relaxed and sleeping pretty well, but none of your chakras's feel at all aligned. You chew the inside of your cheek. If weed isn't gonna cut it... is ecstasy gonna be the answer? <<if $clubroute === 0>>You really don't wanna go down that route again, but if you have to... you just might.<<elseif $clubroute neq 0>>Frankly, you're scared of ecstasy... is it really worth taking it just to avoid a couple hours of volunteering?<</if>> You take another drink of water and rub your head for the 100th time... hopefully you still don't feel shitty later; you already have a headache from the FUCKNEVERMORE situation, and you're not in the mood to keep piling them on. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Oh... uh, before I forget... thanks... for watching me and teaching me and stuff.

Guess she really wanted you to meet Riley... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um, I didn't think it was really that interesting... She just said you guys were friends, and like, business partners... and I talked to her about the FUCKNEVERMORE stuff and-<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>She said we were business partners?<</speech>> Her tone is tense and the wide grin she had just moments earlier was gone. She rapidly glances around the room, lightly biting her bottom lip as she searches for... something. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Well, yeah... for the crystal stuff... I mean, I didn't know all the details but like... that's cool, you know...<</speech>> Molly takes an inconspicuous deep breathe - the clear tension from her shoulders is released, and her nervous, rapid eye movements disappear. She obviously didn't want you to notice, but with a girl like Molly, it's kinda hard not too... or maybe you guys really are soulmates... <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you! Riley's my crystal partner! We have an amazing and super cool and fantastical crystal business where we sell things that help people connect with others and themselves, just like the lapis I gave you! Did she tell you anything else about it?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>No, she didn't. You know, it was a pretty-<</speech>> She interrupts you with a clap of her hands before digging through the filing cabinet. It looks like you're gonna be here for a while... <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Okay, that's perfect! Because Riley... like, I love Riley, but she's waaaaaaaaay too boring sometimes - that's why she does the business stuff and I do the fun stuff! But it's better if I explain it to than if Riley does... she'll make it sound like a college class or something.<</speech>> Out of the depths of the dented filing cabinet, Molly pulls out more pieces of paper and a large bag of rocks... or crystals, you think... honestly, you really can't be too sure with her. She sets the papers and bag of rocks down, and from what you can see... actually, you don't know what you're looking at. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What is... all this? Please don't tell me it's more FUCKNEVERMORE stuff.<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>No, no, no! This is ''soooooo'' much better than FUCKNEVERMORE because this... is my crystal business! Look!<</speech>> She pushes the papers towards you. From what you can see, it's just a bunch of pictures of crystals and a long, long, ''long'' lists of names and products. However, near the bottom of the page... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Is that... a crystal dick?<</speech>> She turns the paper back towards herself, evenutally smiling once she sees what you're talking about. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Yeah! It's a crystal penis! Made from the best Rose Quartz the <span class='green'>Universe</span> has to offer! And it's not the only one either...<</speech>> She takes out more papers and sets them down next to the others in a business like spread across the desk. Examining closer, you can see that she's not wrong - there are a variety of similar sexual-orientated crystal products: butt-plugs; long cylinders of varying sizes; and other similar phallic and overtly horny products. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Wait... so you and Riley sell crystals //and// sex toys?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Well, in all honesty, they're kinda one in the same: the sex toys //are// the crystals! And I don't want to scare you off with the crystal and astral stuff, but since the sex toys are made of different crystals, it really helps people! You know, love is all around us, and by loving ourselves ''with'' these products, we connect deeper with the <span class='green'>Universe</span> as a whole.<</speech>> The crystals and astral soulmate stuff is one thing, but crystal sex toys? You're starting to regret talking to even Riley... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>That's... wow. I'm speechless.<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I know, right?! I'm so happy people want to connect with themselves and the <span class='green'>Universe</span> this way! Maybe one day you can do it too!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah... um, unless they make crystal fleshlights, I think I'm good...<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Hah! That's... wait, that's actually... not a bad idea...<</speech>> She grabs the pieces of paper and starts to jot down something with a pen. Guess you're already sinking your teeth into her business - you'll have to talk to Riley about getting a cut of the profits. After she finishes writing her notes, she straightens the papers and smiles at you. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>So! You want to help?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Do I... what?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Do you want to help?<</speech>> Did you miss a part of the conversation? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>You want me to help you with your crystal business?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Of course I do! You're my astral soulmate! We are literally perfect for each other in ''all'' areas, Not just FUCKNEVERMORE! I bet you if you, me, and Riley hook up, we could have a ''booming'' industry on our hands! We could connect the whole //world//!<</speech>> Obviously she meant to say "work together", but you wouldn't mind the three of you "hooking" up"... but one can dream. Still, while you're indifferent with the whole astral soulmate stuff... helping Molly with her weird sex crystal business might get you closer to Riley... which you are //definitely// not indifferent too. Still... you already got enough on your plate as is... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>How would I be helping you exactly?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Well, what are you good at?<</speech>> She really knows ''nothing'' about you, huh? This is just a repeat of your cafe conversation. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I'm good with computers and stuff.<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Ooooh, that's awesome! You can talk to the clients then!<</speech>> What the fuck does that have to do with computers? <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>My clients message me ''aaaaaall'' the time about the products and the deets and their purchases and addresses and all that other stuff, and it can get super busy and like overwhelming, and I'm only one gal, so it would really help if you talked to them! They message me on the website, so all you gotta do is message them back!<</speech>> All you gotta do is... message people back. You weigh the pros and cons - the pros: easy job, gets you closer to Riley. However, the cons: you still have to join FUCKNEVERMORE, and messaging clients about sex crystals isn't really gonna help you get in the long run. Then again, it's not really that hard... it's not like you're going over to their address and handing them the crystals. Molly eagerly awaits your answer. You know, despite everything she's told you about astral soulmates and the <span class='green'>Universe</span>, you've come to appreciate her devotion to human connection and love. Maybe Riley was right... maybe she just has a lot of love to give. <span class='green'>Maybe you can learn a thing or two.</span> <span id='replace'><center><<button 'HELP MOLLY OUT'>>\ <<replace '#replace'>>\ <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay, fine... but I-<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Having my two favorite people work with me at FUCKNEVERMORE and at Molly Moon's Crystals Emporium! Aah! It's so fucking cool!<</speech>> <<speech 'riley' 'Riley'>>And if you want to keep it "fucking cool", then how about he works for me? He can do some easy jobs for me, and maybe if everything works out, he can asnwer some emails, send some messages, get some of the workload off your shoulders?<</speech>> Molly looks towards you. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Would you be cool that? Working with Riley doing with the //booooooring// money stuff?<</speech>> Riley laughs and turns to you, the usual smile on her face. Why does talking to her make you so uncomfortable? <<speech 'riley' 'Riley'>>I promise you it's not that boring. It's definitely a lot better than sending and receiving messages for 12 hours a day, especially about crystals.<</speech>> Is there really a choice here? <span id='replace2'><center><<button 'HELP RILEY OUT'>>\ <<replace '#replace2'>>\ <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, sure, I'll help Riley. And hey, maybe she can teach me about some of the crystal stuff, right?<</speech>> Molly practically leaps over the desk to join you and Riley in a group hug. Your arms are pretty stuck, but you're able to pat the side of her stomach. Before you're suffocated by the immense energy of Molly's personality, she lets the two of you go and wipes a fake (actually, it's probably real) tear from her eye. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I knew the <span class='green'>Universe</span> brought you both to me... this really is a dream come true.<</speech>> <<speech 'riley' 'Riley'>>Yeah, it really is.<</speech>> Weird thing to agree with... you're starting to think that maybe Riley might not have all her eggs in her basket. Still, you're hanging on to the slight chance that ''maybe'' this is just her being nice to Molly. Riley steals a pen from Molly and starts to write on a second post-it note. <<speech 'riley' 'Riley'>>Here... I'll give you my address, and whenever you want to work together, just come by and we can start. I'm usually done with the FUCKNEVERMORE stuff by the evening and I'm kinda a night owl, so just come by at <span style='color: #89CFF0;'>night.</span> I'm free on the <span style='color: #89CFF0;'>weekends too all day.</span><</speech>> <center><span class="obtained"> "RILEY'S APARTMENT" UNLOCKED IN "THE CITY"! </span></center> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>You're just... giving me your address? Like, straight up?<</speech>> Riley lets out a soft laugh. <<speech 'riley' 'Riley'>>Molly's already given you a beyond glowing endorsement, so I think I'll be fine giving you my address. Plus, you've got a very noticeable... demeanor about you, so if you are a serial killer, I'm sure the police will catch you in no time.<</speech>> Not sure what noticeable means, but from how warm and bubbly the comment makes you feel, you'll take it as a compliment. Molly loudly hits the table with her stack of paper and glares at Riley. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>My astral soulmate, Riley. Go get your own.<</speech>> Riley laughs pleasantly, putting both her hands in the air. <<speech 'riley' 'Riley'>>Don't worry, Molly. He's all yours.<</speech>> She looks at you again, her gaze lingering on yours for a couple seconds longer than usual. She smiles again... she always seems to smile, and while you're not complaining, the way it puts your stomach in knots is starting to get irritating. Eventually, with one final goodbye, Riley leaves, her presence still felt by both you and Molly. A pencil hits you in the arm. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>So! You ready to change the <span class='green'>Universe</span> one crystal at a time?<</speech>> <center><<button [[YEAH...

You know Calypso works today, and you're not quite sure how that's going to go, but frankly you really want to avoid any sort of conversation with her. Being forced into working with a member of the Dawson family is one thing, but potentially getting into a romantic relationship with another? That's bound to make things complicated. <<say '...'>>$player_name!<</say>> So much for that. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Aaaaaah!!!<</speech>> You don't have time to run and hide before Calypso pounces on you, her tentacles wrapping around as she pushes herself deeper into your chest - guess her obsession with you overloaded her higher-functioning. Jesus, her hug is tight. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>><span style='font-size: 12px;'>Hi... Calypso...</span><</speech>> She finally lets you go, giving you much needed oxygen to your brain. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>I'm so happy you're here! It was getting ''reeeeeeally'' boring without you... I thought I was gonna turn into a sludge or something...<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yep... I'm here now... guess you won't be turning into sludge...<</speech>> You're not quite sure where the rest of this conversation is going... honestly, you're not sure ''where'' you want it to go: you know you and Calypso's... relationship... has gone through some changes, but it's unclear how exactly it's affected the two of you. Everything seems pretty normal... Still, even if things seem normal, they most likely aren't: you're going to have to address the elephant in the room eventually: Are you gonna just string this girl along as you work with her mom in destroying NEVERMORE, or are you gonna shut it down even before it sprouted? Fuck, you haven't even weighed the pros and cons yet! <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So, uh... what has Rob been making you do? Hopefully it's nothing too crazy...<</speech>> A look of dejection appears on Calypso's face as her expression and gaze falls. Jesus, what has Rob been making her do? Suddenly, Calypso looks up at you, a clear weight on her shoulders and a thought on her mind. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Um... actually... now that you're here and things are... not crazy... I wanted... wanted ot ask you something...<</speech>> Guess you can't avoid the elephant any longer. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What did you want to talk about?<</speech>> Calypso looks at you with her signature doe eyes and her mouth slighly agape. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>><<if $procalroute === 0 or $procalroute === 5 or $procalroute === 6>>I know you said you weren't upset we didn't do anything, but... are you sure?

No, Calypso, you didn't do anything wrong. <<if $procalroute === 0 or $procalroute === 5 or $procalroute === 6>>I get it, you know. It's better if we don't do anything if we're that fucked up up.<<elseif $procalroute === 1 or $procalroute === 2 or $procalroute === 3 or $procalroute === 4>>I don't think you were a hoe or anything...

You're desperate to just clock in and finish this discussion, but there's no avoiding where the rest of this conversation is going. There's no avoiding where the rest of this conversation is going.

I still like you... and nothing-.<</speech>> The wind is knocked out of you as Calypso's arms wrap around your body, and based on how tightly she's hugging you, she doesn't intend on letting go. Feeling the instinctive need to reciprocate, you lighty wrap your arms around her... and despite your previous feelings about walking on eggshells... it's actually a fairly nice moment. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>><span style='font-size: 12px;'>Thank you, $player_name... thank you so, so, so much...</span><</speech>> Her voice is muffled against your shirt, but you know what she said. You look down and notice tears beginning to form in her eyes. You can't imagine what her reaction would've been if you had rejected her... <span class='green'>You bet she would've stopped breathing.</span> Finally, Calypso pulls away and looks up at you, an odd combination of bittersweet happiness on her face. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Hey, you okay? You look pretty... I don't know... sad, I guess?<</speech>> Calypso laughs, using her palms to roughly wipe her eyes. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>No, no, thank you, I'm... I'm okay. It's just... I didn't expect it is all. I'm happy, I promise... I'm really, really, ''really'' happy.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Is it because you don't believe me?<</speech>> You wouldn't blame her... you don't even believe yourself, to be frank - but it's not like you're declaring your absolute devotion to her. You're just saying you like her, which is more or less true... right? Fuck, what have you gotten yourself into? Are you lying to her once again? Or is there truth to the words you speak? <span class='green'>It's starting to get really difficult to know.</span> <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>No, of course I know you're tellling the truth! It's just... I don't know... maybe it's all a joke, you know? And I know we... like... kissed and stuff... but it's just... I'm scared, I guess. I'm scared it's too good to be true.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I get it, Calypso... but... I... I promise that I like you. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it.<</speech>> You have to like her... you would't be acting this way if you didn't. You're not stringing her along... you're not lying to her... You're a good person. You're a good person. You're a <span class='green'>good</span> person. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Thank you, $player_name... for everything. I'm really happy... like, really, really, happy.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I'm... I'm happy too, Calypso... and I hate to ruin the moment, but I kinda have to clock in...<</speech>> Calypso laughs before hugging you again, her head nuzzling into your chest. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Yeah, sorry about that... I just really wanted talk to you... but I'll let you go now. How else are you gonna pay for our dates, right?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Our... dates?<</speech>> She pulls away, an embarrassed look on her face as she twiddles her thumbs. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Shit, I'm sorry, I don't know... I don't know how this kinda stuff works, but... but would that be okay? If we went on a date sometime? Since... you know... you like... like me?<</speech>> When was the last time you went on a date? High school? Community college? During your time with Flora? Then again, you and Flora didn't go on dates... it was more of a sex-orientated "relationship". Going on a date with Calypso would really push this "relationship" of yours forward, and since you bascially confessed to having feelings for her, it's only natural the two of you go on a date... hopefully this doesn't fuck up your business relationship with Katherine... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, that sounds like fun. We can go on a date sometime... when I'm not working and stuff, obviously.<</speech>> Finally, an expression that doesn't resemble a beaten dog plasters itself on Calypso's face as she once again hugs you. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Yay, yay, yay!! I can't wait! O-M-G, what are we gonna do? Wait, don't tell me, I want it to be a surprise! Wait, no, do tell me! Actually, no, don't! ''Aaaaaah!''<</speech>> Even though the shift in personality is kinda jarring, it's better than having her walk around with her tail between her legs. You pat her back as she jumps up and down. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>You know, I'm glad you're excited and I hate to push you away like this, but I really should clock in... I don't want Rob coming in here and going-<</speech>> <<say 'Rob' 'images/avatars/rob.jpg'>>WHY ARE YOU TWO HAVING SEX IN THE BREAKROOM?<</say>> Guess you can thank Rob for this one... Calypso finally pulls away, her happiness untouched by the old and decrepit man in the breakroom. <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>Okay, okay, okay, sorry! Go clock in! O-M-G, I'm so excited! I'll text you, okay! We can figure something out from there! Aaaaah! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I lo- no, I mean, I like you! Mwah!<</speech>> Before you can do anything away, Calypso quickly kisses you. It takes you by surprise, but you're not exactly opposed to it - no matter the context, a kiss from a girl is still a kiss from a girl. Does that sound rapey? It kinda sounds rapey. <<say 'Rob' 'images/avatars/rob.jpg'>>WHO ARE YOU?<</say>> <<speech 'calypso' 'Calypso'>>I'm Calypso! I've been working here for like a year! How do you still not know me?<</speech>> <<say 'Rob' 'images/avatars/rob.jpg'>>HUH? CALYPINO? WHO'S THAT?<</say>> That's your cue... <center><<button [[CLOCK IN|WORKING]]>><</button>></center></div>

You kinda wish Katherine didn't give you a consistent work schedule, but you guess it would be pretty odd if you just stopped coming in for your shifts. Still, work is over... you should be grateful for that at least. <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>Hey, $player_name! How many grapes do you think I can fit in my mouth?<</speech>> <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>I bet 20, but I don't think he'll get past 6.<</speech>> Danny and Skye are sitting around an open pack of green grapes. Man, Rob really is treating you guys to a feast, huh? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>I don't know... what's the usual amount of grapes a person can fit in their mouth?<</speech>> <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>We looked it up, and the world record is 94. Danny said he could do 95 but he's too much of a pussy to do it right now.<</speech>> <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>No, I can totally do 95! Just... give me like a day to train. My dad always told me I had a big mouth.<</speech>> <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Pretty sure that wasn't a compliment, man.<</speech>> And with that, Danny is off to the races! One grape, two grape, three grapes... he's got a mission! You're glad to see they're at least enjoying themselves... too bad you have to go home and lock the door and cover the windows in lieu of the potential chance that Katherine decides to throw you under the bus. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Jesus, you're gonna choke, bro.<</speech>> Danny shakes his head, causing a couple grapes to fall out - that doesn't stop him though, as he just picks them off the table and shoves them back in. As you clock out, you ruminate on what you're going to later... it's gonna be basically night, so no hanging out at FUCKNEVERMORE... maybe you could dick around on your PC? <<if $azzyweed === 1>>Or if Azzy is home, you could try to enlighten yourself again?<</if>> You're starting to wonder if the weed stuff is actually going to work out: is marijuana really enough to reach a point of enlightment akin to Molly? That probably took a long time to reach, and you're over here trying to reach it in a month... Man, you're bound to permanently alter your brain chemistry. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Oh my God! What the fuck, bro!<</speech>> Danny has officially given up shoving grapes in his mouth, and instead of swallowing them like a normal person, he's decided to bite down and spit them out onto the table, displaying a centerpiece of demolished green grapes in front of him. <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>Wait... lemme try again, that was only 20...<</speech>> As you watch the Skye struggle to stop Danny from resuming his grape tirade, a thought begins to form in your mind: <<if $azzyweed === 1>>what if the problem isn't the smoking, but the person you're smoking with? You really don't feel comfortable frankly doing anything with Azzy, so what if instead...<<elseif $azzyweed === 2>>you already came to the conclusion that Azzy's shitty energy was preventing enlightenment, but as you watch Skye and Danny throw up green grapes... what if...<</if>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Hey, I had a question, guys.<</speech>> <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>//Waht oop?//<</speech>> Looks like Danny won the Grape War. Rob isn't going to anything nice for you guys ever again. You approach the table, becoming awkwardly aware of Skye's presence. It's not like you're asking her on a date... you two are friends... friends? Is that too forward of a term? <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you guys like... into... like... like... smoking?<</speech>> <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>You smoke cigarettes?!<</speech>> All of the grapes proceed to fall out of Danny's mouth. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>He's not talking about cigarettes, he's talking about weed. And since when did you do any of that? I kinda thought you weren't into that shit.<</speech>> Good to know that Skye apparently thought you were a pussy. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Well, uh, I guess I've been trying to get into it... I've been pretty stressed lately, and my roommate's all about smoking, so she recommeneded I get into it. Apparently it calms your nerves and stuff.<</speech>> <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Wow, look at you, bad boy... next thing I know you're gonna tell me you're into stealing cars or shit.<</speech>> She doesn't know the half of it. She leans back in her chair, seemingly eyeing you up and down. You're becoming more and more anxious about this interaction. You've never viewed Skye as a sort of predator, but the way she's looking at you... it's different from her usual look. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>But yeah, I smoke... actually, smoking is an understatement for me. I do it ''a lot''... but I don't know about Mr. Green Grape over here, his whole thing might just be natural.<</speech>> <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>And you know what? You would be correct... I am //all natural.// Weed can make you sterile, and I got lots to give, baby! No drugs in my perfect, perfect body! <</speech>> Danny tries to pick out a couple more grapes from the plastic package, but Skye slaps his hand away. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Well, uh, that's good to know...<</speech>> How are you supposed to say "Can we smoke sometime?" without it sounding like a proposition? Fuck, maybe you should just go back to smoking with Azzy. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Why'd you ask? You wanna match or something?<</speech>> Nevermind. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Match? What's matching?<</speech>> <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Means we're all smoking the same amount, or like, contributing the same amount. Like a group sesh.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Like... we smoke together? You would wanna do that?<</speech>> Skye shrugs her shoulders, grabbing a grape and popping it into her mouth. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Sure, why not? You guys haven't been weirdos yet... besides the grape shit, that was really testing it.<</speech>> Wait... You guys? Seemingly reading your thoughts, Danny perks up. <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>Wait, you want me to smoke weed with you guys? Yeah... no way! I don't wanna become sterile! I have babies to make, Skye!<</speech>> <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Unless you're gonna be smoking, like, a 100 lbs a day, you're gonna be fine, Danny. Come on, it'll be fun! You guys are chill, and it'd be cool to hang somewhere outside this fucking breakroom.<</speech>> While you were more expecting you and Skye smoking and wrapped under blankets watching a nice movie which would then show a sex scene and cause the two of you to become awkward until you eventuall make eye contact and start kissing... this is fine too. Plus, it's better than smoking with Azzy... for one thing, you'll actually feel entertained //and// comfortable. <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>So, you up for it? I'll tell you one thing though... I'm can smoke a lot, so hopefully you're able to match.<</speech>> <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>Skye, I don't wanna die!<</speech>> While the two of them argue about the effects of marijuana on the male antamony, it's clear what your answer is going to be: what kinda guy would you be say no to hanging out with your work crush? Even if it is with Danny too... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, I'd be up for it.<</speech>> <<speech 'skye' 'Skye'>>Hell yeah, man! Well, I'll just send you guys my addy... and whenever you're all up to smoke, just come by... but, like, come <span style='color: #89CFF0;'>by after I get off work,</span> my roommate's outta there around that time. He's kinda a lil' bitch, but hopefully you guys don't meet him.<</speech>> He? Him? A male? In the same apartment as Skye? Great, now you're living an NTR nightmare. Besides that, you're happy to actually make some waves with this enlightment stuff... and if smoking with people you're comfortable with doesn't cut it... you might be at a loss. <center><span class="obtained"> "SKYE'S APARTMENT" UNLOCKED IN "THE CITY"! </span></center> <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>Skye!

As you walk up the stares, you're able to get a taste of the noxious odors that line the concrete floor. While this might be surprising to someone who lives outside of Seattle, you feel like these living conditions are pretty norm. Soon, you find yourself in front of Skye's apartment door. Nervous would be an understatement - you feel like a freshman asking his crush out to the Winter Formal. Your fist hovers over the fake wood... And then the door swings open. <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>What up, broski!<</speech>> Looks like Danny beat you to the punch... then again, you're kinda glad he's here - it'll make things less awkward; you can't imagine how things would play out if it was just you and Skye. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Wow, I'm surprised you're here already. I thought it was just gonna be me...<</speech>> <<speech 'danny' 'Danny'>>Bro, come on! Don't you remember? You and me... we're connected, bro!

Couch. Cottonmouth - the trio that you've become accustomed to as of late. Except this time... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Azzy?<</speech>> Your voice echoes off the walls. With the blinds closed, the darkness combined with the silence is very... unnerving. You try to get a good look into her room, but as always, her door is closed. While you would usually be jumping with joy knowing that you aren't going to harrassed or bullied every hour of the day, the events of yesterday are still fresh on your mind: <span class='green'>"You exist."</span> Her needless aggression has always been an Azzy personality staple, but yesterday... yesterday was something else. Did the tit stuff really irk her that much? You hope she isn't going out to purchase a shotgun to blow your head off. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Azzy? Are you there?<</speech>> Another call out to the void... with no response. Feeling the aftereffects of your shitty joint, you finally get up from the couch and start downing a half-empty bottle of water. Hopefully Azzy didn't poison it. Jesus, you really can't get the Azzy stuff out of your head... sometimes you wish you could understand where all her anger comes from, and if it's not just directed at you - and while you've become mildly numb to her abuse, you think it would provide a little bit more peace of mind if Azzy was just angry at the world and not because you're a "beta cuck with a small penis who is beneath her" (her words). But honestly... despite her objective attractiveness and your desire to peak into her mind... trying to //know// Azzy feels like an impossible task; an impossible task that you definitely don't have room on the agenda for... because right now, your other impossible task is to become ''enlightened.'' <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Fuck...<</speech>> You know, maybe you should accept Azzy might be preventing you from connecting to spiritual realm - you vaguely remember Molly telling you about how negative energy affects proper connection or something, and honestly, you feel like Azzy is the absolute embodiment of negative energy. <<if $skyeweed === 0>>Maybe it's time to look for other people to smoke with... might be the best option on your enlightenment journey.<<elseif $skyeweed > 0>>Maybe you should stick with getting to know people who actually give a shit about you... might be the best option on your enlightenment journey.<</if>> You put the bottle in the recycling, taking note of the unwashed dishes your sociopathic roommate left behind. So much for connection. <span id='replace'><center><<button 'THE FRONT DOOR OPENS'>>\ <<replace '#replace'>>\ Speak of the <span class='green'>Devil.</span> Azzy, hauling two large bags of groceries, practically kicks in the door. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Help me with the food before I break my fucking arms.<</speech>> You know you just decided to not actively try to get closer to Azzy but... it's better to help than not to. Grabbing one of the bags, you're surprised by it's ''immense'' weight. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Jesus Christ, what'd you buy? Bricks?<</speech>> Azzy drags the other bag to the kitchen, practically heaving and hoing as she opens the fridge door. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>You have eyes, look in the bag yourself.<</speech>> Honestly, she's kinda right aboout that one. You open the bag (a little afraid Azzy might've brought a couple decapitated heads home) and are surprised to find... Frozen meals. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you stocking up for a zombie apocalypse or something? This is enough to feed, like, 100 people... do you really like frozen food this much?<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>You ''better'' not be complaining about having food to eat. You know kids in Africa are starving and eating dirt and shit, right?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Wow, okay, didn't take you for a moralist.<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>I became one when you started dissing my frozen lasagna, ''asshole.''<</speech>> Azzy grabs the bag from your hand and half drags, half carries it to the fridge, dumping it's contents into the freezer. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So... uh... since apparently nuclear fallout is gonna happen... can I have some of the meals?<</speech>> Azzy looks you up and down before returning to her terrible organization. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>You can have the swedish meatballs and the weird chicken-rice dish... but if I see a ''single'' piece of fucking lasagna in your mouth, I'm going to chop off your penis.<</speech>> Hey, to win some battles to gotta lose some men. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Alright, fine by me.<</speech>> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>There is no ''fine by you.'' Only fine by ''me.'' My frozen cheap meals, my rules.<</speech>> You don't really know how to respond, so you flash a thumbs up - Azzy rolls her eyes in response. You know, you might be misreading the situation, but you feel like Azzy's demeanor towards you is a less aggressive than usual - could she perhaps... feel bad? You shake your head... Azzy never feels bad - she's probably too focused on her frozen meals to bully you. As you watch Azzy dump the rest of her frozen lasagna into the small freezer, you come to the final conclusion: Azzy's energy is preventing you from completing your enlightenment journey. Thinking like a real spiritualist. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Hey, uh... I just wanted to let you know that I think I'm done with the weed stuff. I'm going clean.<</speech>> Azzy snorts. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>Decided Ms. Spiritual Pussy wasn't worth it?<</speech>> Sadly, she is, but you're not going to tell Azzy the real reason you're quitting: because you think she has shitty vibes. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, I think... just... it might be best to give up on that. Maybe find some girls who aren't a little fucked up in the head.<</speech>> Azzy lets out a surprisingly genuine laugh and turns to you. <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>You know, $player_name, lemme tell you a secret... all women, all girls, every single thing out there who exhibits some sort of feminine energy... is fucking insane. The whole reason we're in this existential mess is because one female-identifying sack-of-shit decided to make a crazy decision and ruin everyone's life... and I think that's all the evidence you need.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Who... who are you talking about?<</speech>> <span class='green'>The side of Azzy's mouth twitches.</span> <<speech 'azzy' 'Azzy'>>I'm talking about Adam and Eve. You ever heard of the //Bible//?<</speech>> You think she's lying. But you feel the <span class='green' style='font-size: 25px;'>overwhelming</span> need not to pry. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, you're right... bitches be crazy, bro.<</speech>> Azzy gives you a dirty look before returning to her Tetris game. You start to think that... maybe... maybe you were right. Maybe Azzy is really just angry at the world, angry at Adam and Eve for damning her to a lifetime of existentional suffering... and if that's true... that's honestly pretty deep. But that's not your problem anymore... you have bigger, more important things on your list besides trying to learn more about Azzy's emotional suffering... and now with Azzy's negative vibes out of the way, you gotta get enlightened. You take one last look at the Azzy; you know, maybe if things were a little bit different, you could try your hand at really trying to understand Azzy. But unfortunately, <span class='green'>that's not how things work.</span> <center><<button [[FACE THE DAY|YOURHOME]]>><<set $azzyweed = 2>><</button>></center>\ <</replace>>\ <</button>></center></span></div>\

Unfortunately, it does not. You're becoming more and more discouraged by the consumption of marijuana as a way to make you enlightened. You honestly thought that the whole throwing-up charade was part of the process, but it looks like you just smoked a bad batch. You watch a couple walk by, hand-in-hand... Connected. Do you need to have sex to become enlightened? Molly talked a lot of about connection and love when she gave you the whole speal about astral soulmates... so maybe you've been going about this all wrong, focusing on the wrong route... maybe you need to have some ''intimiate'', ''loving'', ''passionate'' sex. You sigh at the idea. <<if $clubroute === 0>>You did ecstasy //and// had sex with Molly while under the influence, and you didn't feel the slightest bit enlightened after all that, so you doubt doing anything now would make much of a difference.<<elseif $clubroute !== 0>>You're an attractive guy, and while you would love to have ''intimate'' sex, there aren't a lot of girls out there who would be interested in "making love" with you.<</if>> <<if $clubroute === 0>>Though... it can't hurt to try again right? If someone's willing to make love to you, it'd definitely be Molly... and to be frank, you're still a man at heart - who wouldn't wanna have sex with an attractive woman?<<elseif $clubroute !== 0>>Actually, you //can// name one person who'd be willing to... and honestly, putting your dick in Molly might make you ''even more'' enlightened than you need to be... plus, you're still a man at heart - who wouldn't wanna have sex with an attractive woman?<</if>> Of course, you can always just stick with smoking weed again... it's basically the same thing as sex, right? Same neurotransmitters and such... you'd just need to //really// feel the intimacy of putting the joint in your mouth. You look up at the bright blue sky, watching the clouds slowly move across.

Today she's filling out forms while taking some additional time to draw little doodles in the margins. Once she finishes her final doodle (you think it's a mix between a monkey and a dog), she sorts her papers and scoots her chair back... you swear you hear one of the legs creak under the pressure. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Of course you can ask me something! <<if $volunteer === 0>>By the way, don't forget what I said about the volunteering stuff!

No, wait! It's... uh... wait, I just saw it...<</speech>> You're honestly probably making this harder than it actually is - with the way Molly's wired, she'd probably get on her hands and knees and thank you for making such a request. Plus, you've already had sex with her, so it's not like this is foreign ground... <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Money! You want... no, wait! I take that back! It's... uh...<</speech>> She's really putting her all into this, isn't she? You kinda wait a lil' bit, see if she actually- Molly stands up from her desk, her office chair finally falling apart. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>''You wanna connect!''<</speech>> Molly belts out her discovery, causing almost everyone in the headquarters to turn their heads. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>''Oh my gosh, I did it! I'm right! You wanna connect with ''me''! Like last time! Oh my gosh, you're enlightened now! That's what's going on! Oh my gosh!!!''<</speech>> You nervously look around the room, smiling at the concerned faces of your soon-to-be coworkers. You're definitely gonna become a topic in the groupchat tonight... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Haha... okay, Molly, how about we just... bring it down a notch. you know? Remember what you said about keeping this a secret? Everyone's looking at us...<</speech>> Molly leans over the desk, her voice now a (loud) whisper. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>You're enlightened, right! That's why you're asking me!<</speech>> Yeah, you wish. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um, well... unfortunately, I'm not... and that's actually //why// I'm asking.<</speech>> Despite the visible disappointment in Molly's face, she keeps listening intently, her blue eyes staring directly into your soul. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So, I've been having... some trouble... with the whole enlightening thing. I gu-<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Have you been keeping the lapis lazuli with you at all times? You know, I forgot to mention it, but you also have to keep it under your pillow too. And kiss it good night ''every'' night. Actually, I think you need to kiss it every morning too...<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What? You didn't tell me all that.<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Yeah, I'm sorry for not telling you... but at least you know now!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, I... Thanks, I guess... but anyways, the problem isn't with the rock. I've also been... smoking a lot of marijuana... because I thought it would make me enlightened or whatever... but it just... it isn't sticking. I'm not feeling... enlightened.<</speech>> Molly raises her eyebrow, a look of confusing spreading across her face. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>You're smoking marijuana? To get enlightened?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Your tone of voice is telling me that I'm doing something wrong.<</speech>> Molly lets out a soft chuckle - you know, you never actually noticed it, but her smile is very... genuine, which is frankly pretty rare for a place like Seattle; people here aren't known for their "rawness". <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Smoking marijuana is like taking an Advil when you get hit by a car... it'll definitely do something, but it's nowhere near as powerful the real thing.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And the real thing is... connection, right? That'll get me properly enlightened?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>It might! But also, it's not just connection that'll get you enlightened...<</speech>> Molly smiles widely, a slight glimmer in her eye. You let out a ''heavy'' sigh. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Molly, can we please just do the connection stuff ''without'' the party drugs?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Sure we could, but like I said, it's like taking an advil when you get hit by a car... it's-<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Not like the real thing, yeah.<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Exactly! You know, I'm surprised you didn't want to connect sooner. You remember how last time felt, right? Better than ascending! A second time is bound to show you the truth!<</speech>> You know why you didn't ask earlier. You rub your forehead, thinking deeply about you're going to do - you feel like you're in too deep to pull out now, but ecstasy? Again? You've heard that it has a permanent effect on your brain chemistry (which honestly might explain why Molly is the way she is). Then again, your body's probably used to drugs by now: marijuana, ecstasy, it's all the same thing... kinda... not really... Definitely not. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Look, if I decide to connect with you and... do the you-know-what... when would we do it? What's the agenda, I guess?<</speech>> Molly opens up one of the drawers and starts digging around the miscellaneous papers... until she pulls out what looks like a schedule... written in purple crayon. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Sorry, I couldn't find my pen... but looks like I'm free... pretty much every night!

If you're trying to get ''englightened'' properly, you're gonna need to have fun while doing it!<</speech>> This just keeps getting worse and worse. You feel like an addict trying to avoid places that'll cause him to relapse... or in this case, make you irritated and overwhelmed. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Do we really have to do it at the nightclub? Can't we, like... do it at your apartment or something?<</speech>> Molly laughs and shakes her head as if that rejection was going to be obvious from the get-go. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>No, silly! You can't be doing molly all alone in your room, that defeats the entire purpose! It needs to be taken with people around, that's how the connection flows! It can't flow with just us!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Well, it's kinda flowing, like, during the... you know, the... connection part.<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>And you're right!

It's the uniformity of the human experience in it's rawest form; when all your anxieties and your fears wash away, and you can allow yourself to become one with the <span class='green'>Universe</span>!<</speech>> The farther you go down this enlightenment road, the more you're becoming unsure of what you're actually trying to achieve: sure, enlightenment is the objective, but what does that even look like? And Molly still has to verify it... how do you verify a state of mind? You sigh and look down at Molly's crude grade-school-level schedule. Taking drugs and connecting with Molly to ''definitely'' get enlightened... or smoking more marijuana to ''maybe'' get enlightened, but ''definitely'' get lung cancer.

Today she's filling out forms while taking some additional time to draw little doodles in the margins. Once she finishes her final doodle (you think it's a mix between a monkey and a dog), she sorts her papers and scoots her chair back... you swear you hear one of the legs creak under the pressure. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Of course you can ask me something! <<if $volunteer === 0>>By the way, don't forget what I said about the volunteering stuff!

Lemme guess!<</speech>> Molly closes her eyes and starts to rub her forehead like some kind of circus magician, giving you time to think about how exactly you're gonna ask Molly to... well, have sex with you. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Hmm, is it... food related? No, wait! It's... uh... wait, I just saw it...<</speech>> You're honestly probably making this harder than it actually is - you're not too sure about all this soulmate stuff, but you know from how she's described it, you two might as already be married with a house and two kids: asking to have sex with her probably isn't gonna faze her in the slightest. Plus, who can deny sex? While enlightenment is your main goal, who said you can't have secondary pleasures? <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Money! You want... no, wait! I take that back! It's... uh...<</speech>> She's really putting her all into this, isn't she? Honestly, if she gets it, you might start believing in- Molly stands up from her desk, her office chair finally falling apart. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>''You wanna connect!''<</speech>> Molly belts out her discovery, causing almost everyone in the headquarters to turn their heads. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>''Oh my gosh, I did it! I'm right! You wanna finally connect with ''me''! Oh my gosh, you're enlightened now! That's what's going on! Oh my gosh!!!''<</speech>> You're not sure what "connect" means, but you can definitely use the provided context clues to give it a definition. You nervously look around the room, smiling at the concerned faces of your soon-to-be coworkers. You're definitely gonna become a topic in the groupchat tonight... <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Haha... okay, Molly, how about we just... bring it down a notch. you know? Remember what you said about keeping this a secret? Everyone's looking at us...<</speech>> Molly leans over the desk, her voice now a (loud) whisper. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I knew it! You're enlightened! Your eyes have been opened to the world of human connection and love!<</speech>> Yeah, that is definitely ''not'' what's happening. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Um, well... unfortunately, I'm not... and that's actually //why// I'm asking.<</speech>> Despite the visible disappointment in Molly's face, she keeps listening intently, her blue eyes staring directly into your soul. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>So, I've been having... some trouble... with the whole enlightening thing. I gu-<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Have you been keeping the lapis lazuli with you at all times? You know, I forgot to mention it, but you also have to keep it under your pillow too. And kiss it good night ''every'' night. Actually, I think you need to kiss it every morning too...<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>What? You didn't tell me all that.<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Yeah, I'm sorry for not telling you... but at least you know now!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Yeah, I... Thanks, I guess... but anyways, the problem isn't with the rock. I've also been... smoking a lot of marijuana... because I thought it would make me enlightened or whatever... but it just... it isn't sticking. I'm not feeling... enlightened.<</speech>> Molly raises her eyebrow, a look of confusing spreading across her face. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>You're smoking marijuana? To get enlightened?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Your tone of voice is telling me that I'm doing something wrong.<</speech>> Molly lets out a soft chuckle - you know, you never actually noticed it, but her smile is very... genuine, which is frankly pretty rare for a place like Seattle; people here aren't known for their "rawness". <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Smoking marijuana is like taking an Advil when you get hit by a car... it'll definitely do something, but it's nowhere near as powerful the real thing.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And the connection stuff... that's the real thing?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Connection is the rawest way you can enlighten yourself! You know, I'm surprised you didn't ask me all this sooner... I would've loved to help you out! This is a two-way journey, you know!<</speech>> Honestly, she's not wrong - as a "non-enlightened" individual, it might've been better to get some advice from Molly from the get-go... then again, it's not like it matters anymore. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And... uh... just so we're on the right page... connection is, like... sex, right?<</speech>> Molly blushes and starts to twiddle her thumbs whilst giggling like a schoolgirl. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Wooooah, $player_name! That's sooooo vulgar!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>But is it sex? Or are we gonna just touch fingers or something?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>No, silly, we're not touching fingies! Obviously I wouldn't use the term ''you'' used, but... yeah, you're right. But you should really say connection! It's more spiritual, disturbs the <span class='green'>Universe</span> less.<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>And... you're, like, cool with that? The connection stuff? Between us?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Of course I am! You're my astral soulmate! It would be insane not to be!<</speech>> Guess she really is crazy enough to have sex with (pretty much) a stranger. You really don't know what she sees in you, but you're not gonna complain - it's better than paying for 3 dates to just put the tip in. Still, all of this is very... surreal. Talking about the <span class='green'>Universe</span>, connection, astral-soulmates... you really wonder what you got yourself into. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Okay, sounds perfect. So, uh... when do we do it? Connect, I mean.<</speech>> Molly opens up one of the drawers and starts digging around the miscellaneous papers... until she pulls out what looks like a schedule... written in purple crayon. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Sorry, I couldn't find my pen... but looks like I'm free... pretty much every night! You live close to the nightclub, right?<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>The... huh?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>The nightclub! If you're trying to get ''englightened'' properly, you're gonna need to have fun while doing it!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Have fun? Like... dancing and drinking and shit?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>No, silly! With esctasy!<</speech>> Fuck. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you serious? I have to take molly?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Of course! In order to properly connect, you need to break free of the chains that attach you to the earthly realm, and ecstasy ascends you well beyond the required planes of enlightenment! It's perfect for proper connection, and something that you'll definitely benefit from!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Are you sure we can't just... not do drugs?<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Sure we could, but like I said, it's like taking an advil when you get hit by a car... it's-<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Not like the real thing, yeah.<</speech>> You rub your forehead, thinking deeply about you're going to do - you feel like you're in too deep to pull out now, but ecstasy? Really? The whole reason you've been smoking weed was because you wanted to avoid doing hard drugs... plus you've heard that it has a permanent effect on your brain chemistry (which honestly might explain why Molly is the way she is). Then again, your body's probably used to drugs by now: marijuana, ecstasy, it's all the same thing... kinda... not really... Definitely not. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Do we really have to do it at the nightclub though? Can't we, like... do it at your apartment or something?<</speech>> Molly laughs and shakes her head as if that rejection was going to be obvious from the get-go. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>No, silly!

You kinda get why Molly chose this place as Ground Zero for Mission Connection: you wouldn't even be able to look left without accidentally kissing someone. <<say '...'>>Fuck... sorry, man...<</say>> An obviously drunk man accidentally knocks into you, the acidic smell of alcohol wafting off him. You should find Molly before someone throws up on you, or worse... you get absorbed. <span id='replace'><center><<button 'FIND MOLLY'>>\ <<replace '#replace'>>\ You move along the walls, praying that Molly isn't in the center of the dancefloor. Every so often, the blinding purple and red spotlights turn and focus their beam directly into your eye, causing temporary blindess and probably permanent brain damage. Despite that, the beam is pretty useful as a lighthouse - with it's help, you survey the crowd, realizing that apparently there's a fucking blonde girl festival in town. Isn't the astral-soulmate connection supposed to trigger when you guys get near each other? Where's the notification when you need it? <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>$player_name! $player_name! $player_name!<</speech>> And there's the notification. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Molly, where-!<</speech>> In a flash, Molly appears in front of you and grabs you by the face as she starts trying to shove something down your throat. You swipe her hand away and spit out whatever was in your mouth - it falls to the ground before you can get a good look at it. <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>It's okay, I have more! Open up!<</speech>> She tries again, but you back up before her thin fingers can reinsert themselves down your gullet. <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Can you give me a warning before you start putting shit in my mouth!<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>Oh, yeah, I'm sorry! Okay, warning: I'm putting something in your mouth!<</speech>> <<speech 'you' '$player_name'>>Wait, wait, wait! Stop! Tell me what it is first!<</speech>> <<speech 'molly' 'Molly'>>I can't tell you!

Honestly, maybe it would've been better if you hadn't known - giving your brain a little drug shock might make you a little stronger against psychedelics... or it might cause your brain to kill itself. You look down at the quarter bag in Molly's hand. <center><img src="images/the-nightclub/ectasy.png"></center>The same ones as last time.

Still, you're kinda wondering where the taking-ecstasy-part comes in play... ...but that question is answered when Molly's tongue lightly parts your teeth and you feel the bottom of a chalky tablet fall into your mouth.

''The Prologue + Chapter 1: Alpha (Patch #3.53)'' Bugfix patch * Misc. bugfixes (notable one includes not being able to backstab Eve) * Reworded MEETAZZY2 Reload link * Added the CHANGELOG button (Duh) * I have no idea what else ''The Prologue + Chapter 1: Alpha (Patch #3.5)'' Minor bugfix patch: only affects Chapter 1 content * Fixed issues with Calypso Character Quest where after messaging her, she doesn't appear on the next workday * Fixed issue with Enlightenment Quest where after smoking weed a second time, event didn't occur ''The Prologue + Chapter 1: Alpha (Patch #3)'' Old saves do not work with the new version - however, this is not going to be a continuing problem. I have a plan to make sure old save are always playable on new versions, so don't worry about that in the future * Remade the title page to be less amateur * Readded BACK and FORWARD buttons on all relevant passages * Added the JUMP MENU to the title page - allows players to directly jump to Chapter 1 to avoid the entire prologue by either choosing a premade route or manipulating the variables themselves via very in-depth questionnaire (bugs may arise, let me know if anything horrible happens) * Added Content Warning * Added an ABOUT THE AUTHOR button * Most importantly: Reconfigured all sex scenes to better adapt to differences in screen resolutions - now, videos don't overlap with the text and vice versa. * Some passages have also been reconfigured to better adapt to differences in screen resolution (although there are few, more will no doubt be changed later on) * Minor grammar, UI, and code changes * Several scenes have been rewritten (I wrote some of them at 3am; they needed fixing) Chapter 1 Content Chapter 1 has received content, but it is very much still it's alpha phase and far from finished. While you can play through it, you'll 100% reach dead ends and potential bugs. Despite that, I'll put down a couple changes/fixes. * Character screen on the Computer has been developed and changed; some scenes are able to be replayed * Issues with the QUEST tab code have been fixed * The Enlightenment Route has more content, including new characters, new dream/hallucination sequences, and regular events with Azzy, Danny, Skye, and Molly * Minor event for Calypso * The Molly Sidequest has more content and the introduction of a new character * New areas and a (kind of) reworked map * Several scenes have undergone major writing surgery * Work days have been added, which affects scenes and certain abilities on those specific days * Probably other stuff I don't remember ''The Prologue + Chapter 1: Alpha (Patch #2)'' * Added the option to choose a playstyle/game mode before starting a new game. The two playstyles are: - Story Mode: For the narrative/story/porn experience. Hacking and other jobs are still playable, but all passwords are given, hidden folders are shown, and there are no roadblocks stopping you from exploring the unique worlds within each job. - Hacker Mode: For the hacking/puzzle experience.

(that can only be played based on previous choices; your choice in the NIGHTCLUB impacts what job you get later on in the Prologue). * Added consequences to choices made in the NIGHTCLUB to Prologue and Chapter 1 * Added new sex scene Overall, the Prologue is completely finished; while I do have plans to go back and change some UI stuff (specifically with Cathy and Calypso's desktops), I don't plan on rewriting and focusing my attention on it anymore.

Complete several new jobs with loads of interesting concepts, ideas, and content! Have fun in The Nightclub, a FREE ROAM event where you can explore and progress the story to your liking! And of course, several new sex scenes, real-porn scenes, and other content for all you horndogs out there! As always, your choices matter, so be wary about your decisions and which routes you take!
