-[Arnold A Gentleman
-You are Arnold A. Gentleman, a regular denizen of the Gentleman household. The son of Dan Gentleman and Sara Gentleman, and; as of today, a new introduction to the adult world.
-As your vision becomes less blurry and your mind clears, several things enter your mind.
-You are in a SHITTY MOOD. Many of your MOOD EXEMPLARS are currently down, the worst offender is your HYGIENE at a negative 3 level. And it’s not very gentlemanly to be so unclean. You groan in contempt of being awake.
-There’s nothing much to describe in your room, besides a CLOSET, a DRAWER, and the things on your windowsill, your KEYS and WALLET. You are currently NOT FIT FOR OUTDOORS. You should DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. It has been added to your TASKS.
-> get keys and wallet
-You are already holding your CELL PHONE in your RIGHT HAND. You only have one HAND left to hold something, and you currently have no other way to hold anything, since you are in your underwear.
-> get wallet
-Get WALLET with what hand?
-> left hand
-Your hands are now full.
-> get up out of bed
-That’s a bit tricky, you will need TWO POINTS of MOTIVATION to do that, and you currently have ZERO.
-> hint
-At this rate, you’ll never get out of bed. Something beyond your control will need to happen. You should make you have contact with anyone that might want you to do something, as that might give you MOTIVATION.
-> make a loud noise
-You make a really loud mix between a shout and a groan. We’re going to call it a grout. No, that’s stupid.
-There’s no response to your mighty Shoan. No, that’s stupid too.
-It appears you are alone in the house. Or there’s no one in the house able to respond to your frustrated noises. Another possibility is that they don’t want to.
-You’re lack of HYGIENE is making you kind of hate yourself. Your FRUSTRATION grows by ONE POINT.
-> hint
-You need MOTIVATION from an outside source. You need to find a way for someone to reach you before you can get out of bed.
-> access laptop
-You turn and glance at your LAPTOP. It’s too far away to pilot from your bed. You make a ‘mumph’ sound and pretend to ignore it.
-> check inventory
-You have ZERO items in your inventory.
-You have a CELL PHONE at the ready in your RIGHT HAND.
-You have a WALLET at the ready in your LEFT HAND.
-> check cell phone
-Your CELL PHONE is currently off.
-> turn on cell phone
-You crush the button at the top for a few seconds. The phone switches on with a jingle.
-As soon as you turn it on, it starts making a REALLY ANNOYING NOISE. It is making you ANGRY.
-> analyse annoying noise
-After thinking it through for a quarter of a second, you recognise the ANNOYING NOISE as your RINGTONE. It’s part of a soundtrack for this video game you really liked. After hearing this ringtone for a few months, however, you kind of never want to play that game again.
-> answer phone
-Done.
-It’s your mother on the other line. She is distraught that it’s taken you so long to answer your phone. She wants you to go to the GROCERY STORE to get some STUFF. She says she left the GROCERY LIST downstairs in the kitchen. She also casually mentioned that since you’re an adult now, you’ll need to try to find a place of your own to live. She says you have about THREE DAYS to continue living here. This makes you UPSET.
-Due to your MOOD being SHITTY, you get MAD and yell at your mom. She doesn’t take it well. She says the groceries better be there when she gets home in TWO HOURS or else she’ll KICK YOUR ASS OUT OF THE HOUSE.
-GROCERIES have been added to your STRESSORS menu. You have acquired TEN POINTS of MOTIVATION.
-The conversation ends. You are kind of FLIPPING THE FUCK OUT. Your DESPERATION grows by two points. You are now in a DEPRESSED DOWNSPIRAL. Things aren’t looking good.
-> analyse mood
-You are in a DEPRESSED DOWNSPIRAL. You will lose ONE POINT of MOTIVATION for every turn you don’t spend doing something PRODUCTIVE.
-Speaking of which, you now have NINE POINTS of MOTIVATION.
-> get out of bed
-You spend TWO POINTS of MOTIVATION to get out of bed. You now have SEVEN POINTS.
-You gain 5 EXPERIENCE POINTS, minus 1 for MOOD. You have gained 4 EXPERIENCE POINTS.
-You are standing in your boring room wearing nothing but your ridiculously tight briefs. You are hating yourself right now.
-> analyse room
-It depresses you how dull your room is. To your left is your LAPTOP. Next to it is your CLOSET. In front of you is your DRESSER/DRAWER, and to your right is a DOOR.
-You lose a point of MOTIVATION. You now have SIX POINTS.
-> take a shower
-That’s a good idea, but there isn’t a shower in your room.
-You lose a point of MOTIVATION. You now have FIVE POINTS.
-> go right
-You put one foot in front of the other and approach your door. It is currently CLOSED.
-> open door
-You need a free hand to open your door. Your hands are currently FULL. You have a CELL PHONE in your RIGHT HAND and a WALLET in your LEFT HAND.
-You lose a point of MOTIVATION. You now have FOUR POINTS.
-> put down cell phone and wallet
-You free up your hands. The CELL PHONE and WALLET are now lying on the ground in front of you.
-> open door
-You twist the doorknob and open the door. You are now in an UPSTAIRS HALLWAY. To your left is your SISTER’S ROOM. Down the hall is the BATHROOM and GAMEROOM. Some STAIRS lead down to the foyer.
