Mini-Quest/Text Adventure/Interactive Fiction

[aleX]

Interactive Fiction -
Features multiple plots and endings. The reader determines the structure of the story by choosing from different alternatives at the end of each chapter.

If any of you have ever read one of those "Choose Your Adventure" books, this'll make a ton of sense. If not, I'll explain.

Basically, I'll set up a scene. I'll tell you where the exits/entrances are, and some basic objects in the area. For example:

You are in a dense forest. There's what appears to be a clearing to the north. You hear rushing water to the east. Some of these trees look rather odd.

From there, you let me know what you want to do.

I want to examine the odd looking trees.

One of the trees looks climbable.

Climb the tree.

You climb the tree and look around. Man, it's high up here. Oh my god! What is that? A boa constrictor wraps around you and squeezes the breath right out of you.

YOU HAVE DIED.
Would you like to Undo or Restart?

Easy enough?

No, there won't be that many situations where you can die from something. And there won't be any instant deaths, unless you do something really stupid like Walk into the fire.

I'll run four of these mini-quests to start out, and perhaps I'll expand as we go on.

And don't worry, I'll reply every time that someone has posted. Meaning, if three people have their own separate mini-quests, I'm not going to wait for all three to post in order to reply.

Post if you're interested, or if you have questions or anything like that.

EDIT::

The following people I am using as part of my QM audition

Trap
Bilby (Try #2, Heroic)
Violinist

Upsilon, WhiteSong, Bilby (Try #1), and twilight are either taking too long or they were intentionally straying from the obvious plot.

I'll do it, I don't need approval for this lmao!

[aleX]

Okay, here we go.

Upsilon Inaba:

You find yourself in a small chamber. A prison cell perhaps. The walls are grimy and covered in mold. It's dark, but the moonlight filtering through a trapdoor high in the ceiling reveals a skeleton on the ground, still in his shackles.

There's a wooden door to the west.

[~||WhiteSong||~]

I'll join!

[aleX]

WhiteSong:

You are in a simple room. A maid's room, perhaps. Rather odd, seeing as you aren't a maid. There's a closet, a bed, and a small night stand. There aren't any windows, but there's a door to the northwest.

[upsilon]

Examine the door.

[aleX]

Upsilon Inaba:

You approach the door and try to open it. Locked. Dang it. You hear a scuffle outside and a large thud, and then another series of footsteps. Then it's quiet.

[servant]

I'll do it. :V

[aleX]

Haha... I thought you said you weren't going to... Alright, here we go.

Trap:

You are an assassin, recently hired to kill some man whose name you've already forgotten. You just have a simple description. Bald, fat, rich. Simple enough. You have one week to kill him. And if you fail to kill him after one week, then other assassins will be hired to kill you. You've spent the first part of your day preparing for your mission and getting intelligence. Now you know where he'll be tonight.

Day One, Night

You're in front of the restaurant that you know he's eating at tonight. There's a dark alley to the right of the building and a door right in front, but surely there's a more inconspicuous way in...

(Just so you know, Trap, each post is not a day. So you have more than seven decisions )

[servant]

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

[aleX]

Trap:

You search yourself for a robe and a wizard hat, but you must have left them at home. Darn.

[servant]

Damnit! I charge my mana and use Magic Missile at the darkness.

I mean.

I examine my current outfit to determine whether it is fit to pass off as a commoner.

[aleX]

Oh god... Your sense of humour does not go well with mine. And by that I mean, that it goes perfectly.

Trap:

You look at your clothes as people walk by. Your clothes are common enough, but people give you weird looks. You are examining yourself, after all....

[servant]

Okay. I calmly enter the restaurant through the front door. After all, trying too hard not to be suspicious is suspicious.

[aleX]

Trap:

You walk into the restaurant and a waiter takes you to your seat. You look at the menu for a while, but then you realize you don't have any money. But you ask for a glass of water anyway. You won't be here long.

As you sip your water, you look around and see the other customers. There he is! Sitting over in a booth by the kitchen entrance!
