Paul's Life- Free form Choose Your Own Adventure

[The Hairminator]

Spoiler: Rulez

I will present you honorable people with a situation, then you are free to tell Paul what to do in said situation. I will sometimes leave suggestions, but you don't have to follow them.

The only thing I won't do is things that obviously will end the story in one or a few moves. If people suggest multiple things I may do a mix of it all, may pick the first alternative, or roll some dice, depending on the moon-cycles.

Spoiler: Backstory

Your name is Paul. You are jobless and broke, and unless you find some way to pay the rent for your apartment this month, you are going to get evicted.

So what will you do? Will you try to fix Paul's life, or just mess around and have fun, or even try to get Paul in deeper shit?

You wake up in your warm comfy bed by the ringing alarm-clock. Was there something you were supposed to do today? You can't remember, so it probably wasn't important. You sit up on the bed located in Paul's Apartment. The Alarm clock is quickly starting to give you a headache.

[Safe in the Dark]

Paul gets up and gets up and puts a shirt and pants on then proceeds to throw the alarm clock out the window and into oblivion.

Spoiler: Clarification

You are supposed to tell him what to do, and I will write what happens

[blockquote]>>Get up and throw object

ALARM CLOCK

out of

WINDOW

[/blockquote]

You get up, tired of the beeping devilish device. You tear it from its placeholder and try to throw it out the window. Of course, since the window is closed, and you are a weak loser, it just hits the glass without any dramatic effect.

Well, at least the beeping stopped. What now?

[blockquote]>>Find a decent pair of pants and put them on.[/blockquote]

You scan the room for any visible legwear, and your eyes stop on item DARK PAIR OF JEANS lying on the floor. You put them on. You also find Objects WALLET, CELL PHONE and KEYCHAIN in the pockets.

Just as you are finished you hear the doorbell ring. Who could it be?

[blockquote]>>>>Run a hand through your hair in an attempt to make it look like you haven't just gotten out of bed, then answer the door.[/blockquote]

You run your right hand through your unkempt hair, using it as a comb or brush of sorts while heading to open the door. As you walk through the hall your cat Simon gives you a reproving glare. Did you forget to refill his food bowl again?

As you open the door Mrs. Remmington, your Landlady stands outside. She reminds you that you better not be late with your rent this month, or so help her god she will throw you out on the street without moral qualms. She also calls you a no-good lazy bum and other such slurs.

You decide you have had enough, and attempt to smash her with your door. Mrs. Remmington is, however, far out of the door's reach. She watches you with confusion as you ridicule yourself.

You burst into tears, and with a sniveling voice tell her a heartbreaking story:

You are under a lot of pressure since your brother got cancer, and that 'all your money' goes to his very expensive treatment. You know from before that Mrs. Remmington's husband died of cancer a few years ago.

Mrs. Remmington herself starts crying, and agrees that the rent can wait for a while. She also says that if you ever need to talk you can come up to her apartment (she lives up top) at any time. She even calls you 'Dear boy'.

You are starting to feel hungry, and you can feel a craving for coffee, too.

>>>Have breakfast!

 

[The Hairminator]

[blockquote]>>>Have breakfast![/blockquote]

As Mrs. Remmington leaves you step back inside your apartment. Your stomach is roaring for food, and you decide it is time for breakfast!

You step inside the small kitchen, put on some coffee, and open the fridge. Inside, to your delight, you find a pack of DELICIOUS BACON ?. MMMmmm! With the force of a thousand suns you rip it open, and its contents is in your pan, frying, before five seconds have passed.

You hear a sound behind you.

>>>Grab the pan with the sizzling bacon and spin around to defend yourself against a potential aggitator.

[blockquote]>>>Grab the pan with the sizzling bacon and spin around to defend yourself against a potential aggitator.[/blockquote]

You turn around, frying pan in hand, with superhuman speed. The pan's contents fly out over the room, driven by the centrifugal force from your quick turn.

You soon realize the source of the sound was merely your cat making noises, but you get no time to further validate the situation until Simon, stained with hot frying grease, rushes out of the room.

You are still hungry, but now you have a scared and slightly burnt cat and bacon all over the kitchen. What a stupid thing to do!

>>>Pan-face yourself for being such a dolt. That's like a facepalm, but instead of palm meeting face you utilize the pan still in your hands.

 

[The Hairminator]

[blockquote]>>>Pan-face yourself for being such a dolt.[/blockquote]
Filled with anger for hurting you dear Simon you decide to smack your face with the frying pan. As you raise it to your face, you realize you are in no psychological condition to hurt yourself badly, and thus the Pan-face becomes half-hearted. The pan is still very hot however, and you burn your face.
