You finish your long journey and finally arrive at the ruin you've been looking for. You have come here searching for a mystical spellbook of great power called the book of essence. You look around and see some footprints, but they're getting harder and harder to see in the mud. You follow them, deeper and deeper into the ruined ancient city. After about an hour, you come across a small clearing in the stone ruin. > You look for the book. You carefully walk around the clearing, but you don't find the book. A strange feeling comes over you. This place is not good for you. You turn around and start to leave. > You adjust your hat. You put on your old brown hat and the wind suddenly blows in from behind you, almost taking the hat off your head. Maybe the hat is magical. > You whisper to the hat. "What are your secrets?" The hat does not respond. Maybe the hat doesn't understand you. Maybe hats don't talk. Maybe hats aren't magical. Maybe you are losing your mind. > You ask the hat if you are going crazy. You speak into the hat: "Am I going crazy?" Suddenly, you hear a voice in your head: "Of course not." It is the hat. Maybe you aren't losing your mind.

> You head into town.
You put on your best clothing and set off to try get a job as a guard. As you walk, you see an old man working by himself on the road.
> You say hello.
"Hey there, can you spare some food?" you ask him.
"I'm a guard, not a grubber," he replies angrily. "Go find yourself a guard to bribe or something."
> You continue to town.
As you walk down the road, you think to yourself that you've never seen a guard working alone before. You then come across an old, ragged man sleeping under a tree.
> You carry on into town.
As you get close to town, you see a large group of men holding large clubs standing around a small car which has been set on fire. They look angry.
"It was running fine until it crashed!"
> You sneak past them like a coward.
When you're close enough you hear what they're saying clearly: "Burn baby burn!" one of them screams.
> You carry on into town.
As you get close to the center of town, you hear cries of protest.
"They were only trying to escape!"
> You find out what's going on.
As you approach a crowd of men are surrounding an older man and a woman. They look angry.
"You killed my sister!" the man screams at the couple in the middle.
"I didn't!" the woman cries. "There was a crash and we tried to escape!"
The crowd seems convinced by the man's story.
"Bunch of thugs anyway," one of them mutters to you.
> You agree.
One of the men turns to you.
"Have you come to join us?" he asks cheerfully. "We're having a little fun at these people's expense."
> You make excuse and leave.
"Sorry, got... somewhere I'm supposed to be," you say quickly and hurry off.
The man calls after you, "Come on, boys! Let's go find something more worthwhile to do."
> You head to the pub.
You walk into the old pub and see a half dozen men sitting at a table playing cards. They all turn and look at you.
> You say Alright lads?
"Where have you been, boy?" barkeep asks gruffly. "You haven't been here since last night."
"I had to take care of things," you reply vaguely.
> You ask him what he wants.
"We're full up on guards right now," he answers, looking around him furtively. "But the captain's wife is expecting company soon. We could use another waiter, don't you think?"
> You go and fuck yourself you cheeky cunt, you're going to be a bard!
He gives you a small nod and points towards a corner where there's a stack of songs written in a odd language. There's also an old piano.
"There's work for you over there,"
> You play the piano badly.
You sit down at the piano and after several attempts at getting the notes right you begin to play badly. You notice the bartender clapping in time to the music, along with several other patrons who seem to be enjoying it.
> You sing for them.
Your voice isn't great, but it's good enough for these people and it really helps with the atmosphere as far as you're concerned. After your performance is over, the bartender approaches you.
"Hey, kid, thanks for that," he smiles.
> You demand payment.
"You played pretty well," he says instead, pulling out a crumpled note and putting it on the piano top next to you, next to the small pile of gold coins you brought with you from the farm.
> You ask him where a legendary bard can find riches around here.
"Not far," he smiles, leading you out the door and onto the street outside. "There's a big store about three blocks away that has lots of stuff in it."
> You look for the store.
You walk around for a few minutes and finally come across a building that looks like it could be the store he's talking about. The sign reads "Elwin's Emporium of Varieties".
> You look for bard related items.
You open the door and find yourself in a small room filled with everything from cookware to weapons. Elwin appears behind the counter as you step inside.
> You say hello to Elwin and ask him about if he has anything a legendary bard could use.
"Hello, young man," Elwin grins, his eyes glancing at your leathers and sword before returning to your face. "Come this way."
He leads you into another room in the back of the store where he begins pulling items off the shelf and putting them into a large wooden box that seems to be just for this purpose. Finally, he pulls something out and puts it into your hands. It's a brightly colored glass bottle with a cork top.
"For your trouble," he says, smiling at you.
> You ask him what it is.
"A spritzer," Elwin says. "You like it?"
> You drink the whole bottle in one go.
Your mouth fills with fire and your throat closes shut.
> You belch in Elwin's face.
Elwin shakes his head and laughs. "It burns, doesn't it?" he says. "It's dangerous stuff, that one."
You smile and put the bottle back into the box. "That was fun," you say with a smile.
"I have other drinks too," Elwin says slyly. "You want to try some more?"
> You definitely.
Elwin leads you into another room and begins pulling more bottles off the shelf and putting them into a second box. This process repeats until Elwin pulls out a small chain connected to a small brown bottle that contains... nothing at all. "This one is special," he says, smiling at you. "It makes whatever you smell delicious."
> You shit on the floor and say sniff that then.
Elwin uncorks the bottle and pours a little bit of thick, black liquid onto the end of his nose. Then, he takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.
> You ask do you like your scent?
"Oh yes," Elwin says, smiling at you, "but I'd give it up for a piece of human thigh."
> You tell him he's one sick fuck, pick up the most expensive thing within reach and run from the store.
You grab a brightly colored vase, sniffing it carefully. It smells exactly like marzipan - delicious. You put it into your bag of holding.
> You run from Elwin without paying.
You quickly run out of the shop, down the street, and out of the town entirely. You don't stop until you're far away, or exhausted whichever comes first.

He says it is top secret, but that it will probably involve going out to collect food, as the base is running low on supplies. You have no choice but to obey. > You leave base. The day begins as any other, you report to your commander and go through your usual drills, although they seem ever so slightly slower than usual. > You leave base. You get into your vehicle, an armoured jeep, and head off to your first mission. On the way, you notice the road is empty. > You drive jeep. Your journey is interrupted by the crack of gunfire. Two of your comrades lie dead in the road with bullets grazing their heads. Your mission: find out what is going on and report back to your commander. > You exit jeep and ready rifle. You begin to walk towards the direction of the gunfire, when another burst of fire strikes nearby. The smell of gunpowder hangs heavily in the air. > You take cover and observe. The area is heavily damaged, craters from fallen buildings dot the landscape and there is a deep crater where what appears to be a military base once stood. > You lie in wait. You wait for several hours, periodically checking for movement in the surrounding area, but see nothing. You finally return to your jeep and begin to make your way back to the bunker. > You enter bunker. The bunker has changed little since you were last in it. The gas masks are still hanging from the wall, and there is still a faint smell of smoke in the air. > You go to sleep. You awake at dawn, as per normal procedure you check the bunker for any damage from the night before, but everything seems in order. Your commander enters, and you salute. > You leave bunker and drive jeep. Once again, the road is empty. Another burst of gunfire interrupt's your journey, and once again two of your comrades lie dead with bullets in their heads. > You leave jeep and take cover. You lie in wait once again, and once again you see nothing. You finally return to your jeep and make your way back to the bunker.

You have managed to survive several months avoiding zombies and scavenging food. You cautiously enter a rundown store and hear people arguing. A man and a woman are arguing "If you hadn't insisted on coming back, we would have had enough food for the rest of the month!" the woman shouts. > You say "Hello" "Hello," you reply. The woman seems startled by your response but not really worried about it. She looks around and begins picking up different items. > You say "Where are you located?" "I'm just outside, in that old gas station over there." the woman answers. The woman points at a gas station that seems to be abandoned and shut down. > You say "Where do you live?" "We just moved in," the woman answers. She shows you a couple of boxes she was hiding under before answering your question. The building is old so it appears she has made the apartment inside. > You say "Won't the zombies get in here?" "They can't get in, this place has solid metal walls." Looking through a window, you see the station has metal walls and a metal door. > You say "What about the windows?" "We have metal shutters that can be raised in an emergency." You can tell she is trying to be helpful, but you are still worried. It is best to stay alert and move quickly. > You say "Can I stay here with you?" "Are you sure? We can share the room." The woman smiles at you and the man grunts in response. > You say "But he has to go. He has an ill favoured look about him." The man and woman nod at your comment and the woman lowers her window. "Please come in, but just for the night," she says. > You say "Kick him out before I come in." The man and woman nod and the man gets up and leaves quickly. The woman turns to face you. "He isn't the most attractive of men, but he is strong and healthy, so he can be useful," > You say "Do you find me attractive?" "Maybe," she says coyly, "It's not like I've ever kissed you before, we're getting to know each other." You like her attitude, and she seems trustworthy. > You say "Why don't you kiss me then?" The woman raises an eyebrow as she walks over to you, closing the window behind her. She leans in close, giving you a light peck on the lips before walking away again. > You say "I mean a real kiss" She smiles again and comes back over to you. She throws her arms around your neck and kisses you deeply on the lips, even more than before. She moves her body against yours and caresses your chest through your shirt. > You get an erection. She notices it immediately and gently slaps it. "Sorry," she says, "but I don't have time for that right now." You nod and agree.
