You wake up. You remember [[who you are->who]] and that it is [[today->day]]. Groggily, you look around your [[room->room]].[[Well, it is just another Saturday.->start]]Your name is Bobby Dupard. You are a 29-year-old software engineer and you live in Austin, Texas. You work at a B2B software startup called Protein Monster. [[You are glad to be alive.->start]]You are standing motionless in the middle of your windowless bedroom. On the north wall there is a mattress on the carpet that you sleep on. South of you there is a door. Next to the door there is a vacuum and a trash can. On the west wall there is a dresser with a desk next to it, and on the desk is your computer.

[[Examine corner.->corner]]
[[Go back.->room]]You have a 2015 15" MacBook Pro. You spend most of your time on this thing. On the back of the computer are various stickers for Javascript libraries that you do not care about. Who are you trying to impress?
[[Go on the computer.->desktop]]
[[Go back.->room]]On your computer, your desktop background is solid gray. There are a few icons on your desktop: a file called aja.txt, a file called combo.txt, and Chrome.

[[Go back.->desktop]]well it is just another saturday night, and i am having the perfect time. i am simultaneously watching intterracial porn and looking at a 23-year-old fitness model's instagram pictures, and also watching a video of a femboy achieve prostate orgasm with a 13-inch dildo. i am listening to a minimized pornhub video where a woman tells me i am a sissy faggot who deserves a man's cock in my ass, when suddenly my bitch wife knocks on the door and asks me why i haven't come out of my room all day. "sorry honey, still working on those taxes, and the mortgage," i say, cleverly, to throw her of the scent. once i am done cumming i go downstairs to get a snack, when i see a letter on the kitchen table. my wife has left me, and she is never coming back. i go upstairs and listen to my 24bit lossless rip of Aja in my $500 headphones, and calmly focus on my breathing
[[Go back.->desktop]]Yeah, the corner of the carpet is definitely riding up the wall a little bit. You could probably even pull it up there.
[[Pull it up.->pull]]
[[Go back.->carpet]]That's strange. It seems like this door is locked from the outside. There is a keyhole below the knob.
(if:$key is true)[[[Use key.->hallway]]
][[Go back.->room]]A normal dresser. On top is a bottle with a label reading "5mg Percocet", a half empty bottle of Soylent, and a clear Fleshlight.
[[Take Percocet.->percocet]]
[[Drink Soylent.->soylent]]
[[Use Fleshlight.->fleshlight]]
[[Go back.->room]]It is empty.
[[Go back.->dresser]]You like that, you little bitch?
[[Go back.->dresser]](if:$hard is not true)[You cannot use the Fleshlight because your dick is soft right now.]
(if:$hard is true)[You lube up your hard dick and start fucking the Fleshlight. Eventually, you cum inside it. Your dick is all gross now.]
[[Go back.->dresser]]There is a twin-sized mattress on the floor. It has a yellow stain on the corner. You have never fucked on this thing.
[[Go back.->room]]Pretty normal vacuum. The carpet is a little dirty.
[[Use vacuum.->vacuum2]]
[[Go back.->room]]A little trash can on the floor. (if:$trash is not true)[It's empty.
](if:$trash is true)[There's a bunch of dust inside. You can also see that there's a little slip of paper at the bottom.

[[Empty vacuum bag.->empty]]
[[Go back.->vacuum1]]You empty the vacuum bag into the trash.
[[Go back.->room]]
(set: $trash to true)A little slip of paper with something written on it. It says: "MIDNIGHT".
[[Go back.->trash]]Underneath the carpet there's a little safe in the floor with a combo lock. You don't remember putting this here.
(input-box:2bind $combo,"=XX=",1)
[[Enter.->safe]]
[[Go back.->corner]](if:$combo is not "62-145-200")[Wrong combo.

(set: $key to true)(if:$password is not "MIDNIGHT")[Wrong password.](if:$password is "MIDNIGHT")[The text file reads: "62-145-200".]
[[Go back.->desktop]]Looks like it worked. You swing the door open onto a straight little hallway with a window at the end. Resting on a bipod by the window is a gun.
[[Approach gun.->gun]]Looks like this is an AR-15 outfitted with telescopic sights and a bump stock.
[[Look down the sight.->sight]]Today is the Honky-Tonk Austin Country Music Festival, and you've got a front row seat. Looks like a crowd is assembling by the stage closest to you.
[[Aim.->aim]]You move your crosshair off of the stage and begin scanning the crowd. Where to start...
