Many years ago I did a few "choose your own adventure" stories. I ended my [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=27514752&postRepeater1-p=1]last one[/url], telling you that I was gone for good...which was true! And still kind of is. However, I still enjoy writing, I enjoy getting feedback for my writing, and intend on keeping up on my writing. So, I thought it might be fun to do another one. Anyway, here are the rules: I write a segment of the story and give you a list of choices that the character(s) could make next. Some choices might be menial like opening a door vs. opening a chest, and other's might be disastrous like fighting with a shotgun vs. fighting with a tooth pick. So be smart with what you choose! And speaking of being smart... Rules 1. The first person to respond with a choice is the one I'll choose. You can argue and bicker all you want, but that's that. If some dick decides to come ruin the game...well then, it's your fault for supporting that kind of behavior all these years. 2. Only choices I list will be accepted as answers. See the first two responses to this post if you want to know why. 3. Don't demand me to be inhumanly consistent. It's likely that I could go hours, or even days without posting another segment. No, you cannot offer to take over the job for me while I'm gone. No, I will not accept answers over PMs. No, you cannot be in the story nor do your opinions on the story have any bearing on what will happen next. 4. No editing your post. After you've made a choice, that's it. If you edit your post, I will ignore it and move on to the next answer (assuming there is another one) given. Let's get started! ----------------------- Ella wished she could be anywhere but here. Why had she decided to do this anyway? She loved acting, of course, but this was [i]broadway[/i]! Here she stood, one of probably hundreds of women trying out for the coveted role. She should just walk off now. The sight of her boyfriend, Derek, looking at her from the back of the room with a proud smile, was the only thing that kept her in her place. She opened her mouth to sing the first note when the ground suddenly shook violently, knocking her off her feet. There were several screams and one of the casting directors stood up and asked everyone to remain calm while he went and checked on what was happening. [i]Should Ella: 1. Wait on the stage. 2. Go to Derek. 3. Follow the casting director.[/i] [Edited on 01.01.2013 6:26 PM PST]
