[ From this user, a.k.a. one (1) Haru Okumura, previously of Tokyo -- ]

Would anyone like to play a word game?

I understand our life here isn't exactly frivolous... but that only makes relaxation and downtime even more important, I think.

[ Anyway! Here's the game! Haru is very bored! ]

--------------

You are inside a room. The room is completely empty except for two doors on the wall facing you. They appear to be your only way out.

Do you:

a) Open the door on the left
b) Examine the door on the left further
c) Open the door on the right
d) Examine the door on the right further

Intriguing. I've got some time to kill while I wait for some meat to braise, so I don't see any harm in playing along.

I'll choose B, examine the door on the left.

[courted]

[ There will be a few minutes between reply and response, if only because Haru is considering her options very carefully! ]

You examine the door on the left.

It is smooth and solid wood with a brass door knob and a single lock. It's unlikely that you could break it down. Fortunately, it is unlocked and you're free to open it any time you want. A line of light is visible at the bottom. This suggests that wherever it leads to is well lit, regardless of whether it is outside or inside.

[ Once that forum reply is sent, Haru quickly tap-tap-taps out another one. ]

(2/2 sorry I forgot)

Would you like to open that door or check the door on the right?

Oh, I love games!! That sounds like a lot of fun. And very stress relieving... [ Something they've needed for a hot minute, honestly. ] I'll go C) Open the door on the right.

[courted]

[ She might not be very good at this! Futaba is likely more familiar with the source material she's drawing from. Hopefully Caramia won't be disappointed. ]

You open the door on the right.

It leads out to a field. However, night has quickly set and you cannot see further than a foot in front of you. Would you like to examine your inventory?

[ Surprise! Inventory! ]

d since no one picked it yet
gotta go out there and explore the unknown
further
unless i can look at the ceiling
is it the sistine chapel up there

[courted]

[ Sup, Dave. ]

Sadly, the ceiling is very uninteresting. You look at it and see nothing of note.

You examine the door on the right further. It is plain but solid, with a brass doorknob and a keyhole for which you have no key. That's fine, though, because it's unlocked. There is no light peeking through from the bottom of the door, suggesting that the other side is very poorly lit. What this may mean is ambiguous.

Would you like to examine the other door or go out the right?

[troubadamsel]

All right, I'll admit I'm curious.

I'll for for A.

[courted]

You open the door on the left.

It leads to another room. This room has one door on the west side and a window on the east. What would you like to do next?

[ Bless your intellectual curiosity, Maribelle! ]

[asano_san]

[Word games are the worst kinds of games.

But still better than the absolutely nothing he was doing before he checked the forum.]

B!

I'm not opening a door in a creepy empty room without knowing what might be behind it!

[courted]

[ Your passion, as punctuated by your copious exclamation marks, will be rewarded, young Bleach. ]

You examine the door on the left further.

[ Will he take is amiss if she copypastas earlier text? We will find out. ]

[Okay, he'll bite.]

D.

[courted]

You examine the door on the right further.

[ By now, Haru is resigned to merely copy and pasting the same description for each door... ]

It is plain but solid, with a brass doorknob and a keyhole for which you have no key. That's fine, though, because it's unlocked. There is no light peeking through from the bottom of the door, suggesting that the other side is very poorly lit. What this may mean is ambiguous.

Would you like to open the door or examine elsewhere?

[kryptomight]

Open the door to the right!

[courted]

How bold of you!

You open the door on the right.

You find yourself inside an abandoned mall. It isn't merely closed and empty, but a cursory examination of your surroundings suggests that no one has been inside in years -- if not decades. There is no power to the mall but some natural light seeps in through the broken windows and glass store fronts.

Would you like to examine your inventory or explore further?

oh man a choose your own adventure!! i love these things

let's see what's behiiiiiiind door number one
so the left one lmao
oh wait before i do that i know you said the room is empty but there's nothing on any of the walls is there?

[courted]

[ This is such a cute response, Haru is so pleased! ]

There is nothing on any of the walls. They are painted a bland eggshell colour with nothing of note. There is nothing on the floor or ceiling, either.

[nipzips]

[ the pinkest. ]

oh hey, this is just like a video game! if this were real life, i'm not gonna be opening random doors without getting a proper look first.

d

[courted]

[ Hello, Pinky McPinkerson! ]

It is quite like a video game, yes.

You examine the door on the right further.

[ Time for more copypasta... ]

It is plain but solid, with a brass doorknob and a keyhole for which you have no key. That's fine, though, because it's unlocked. There is no light peeking through from the bottom of the door, suggesting that the other side is very poorly lit. What this may mean is ambiguous.

(colour)

what's stopping us from examining both doors and then opening both?

[courted]

[ What a clever question! ]

Nothing at all.

[tropism]

[ still black. ]

A.

[courted]

[ Just how Haru likes her coffee! ]

You open the door on the left without hesitation. How brave of you!

It leads into an unremarkable wooded clearing in the day time. You notice that there are no sounds. Not even wildlife or the wind rustling among the leaves. A branching path in front of you splits off into three directions: right, left, and centre.

The left path has clear footprints in it but the right and centre paths do not.

Where would you like to go?

[cutcrease]

omg i love these

option f i wanna check the walls for any secret passages

[courted]

[ Haru rolls with it! Honestly, it's nice people are taking the scenario into their own hands. ]

You examine the walls.

On first glance, they appear completely benign. The drywall is a solid beige colour with no bumps or ridges. Not to be deterred by a boring appearance, however, you feel along the surface of the walls all the way from one corner of the room to the other. Just as you become discouraged and consider checking one of the doors instead, you feel a faint depression beneath your fingers.

Would you like to examine it further?

Oh, how interesting! I would love to play.

I choose D.

[courted]

... You think you hear the ocean on the other side? How curious.

Would you like to examine anything else or open the door?
