Adventures In The Celestial Bureaucracy

You wake up in a room. Your room, in fact. You sit up in bed and examine the alarm clock. Ugh, damnit, you slept in late again. You stand up and begin your morning routine. First, though, we have some basics to figure out.

First off, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

Umm.... (don't use my real name)

Benjamin Dover. No... wait..

Rusty Shackleford.

Huh? Well, you suppose it's as good a name as any. You shrug and continue your afternoon shower. Rusty Shackleford it is, Ford for short. Your parents were way too into King Of The Hill. Next up on the agenda, your annoying internal monologue insists as you shampoo your hair...

Do you prefer THE PHYSICAL, or THE ETHEREAL?

Well, that's an odd question, but you get the feeling you should answer...

Well, I played goalie for my hockey team, yet I have an interest in science-fiction and fantasy. Let me think about it. I'll take the sports shampoo for now.

Oh. Well, fine, we'll come back to this later. As you consider what to have for lunch, the voice asks another question.

Are you a DESTROYER or a CREATOR?

I create things that destroy.

What is this?

Basically a text adventure. You are Ford, a soon-to-be employee of the Celestial Bureaucracy. Right now we're narrowing down your position in the Bureaucracy. We'll be done soon.

That would fall under Creator. Are you sure?

No, let us be a Destoryer.

Also, spoiler format is [[spoiler:sometext]].

Creator who can create the power to destroy

Which would pretty much is a Destroyer, isn't it?

We prefer THE ETHEREAL.

Look, what we're getting here is that you're a Destroyer. You can't be both, as much as you're trying to cleverly get the best of both worlds. Are you a Destroyer?

Yes, we are a DESTROYER.

Alright, Destroyer it is! Now, let's get back to that question from before. Do you prefer the PHYSICAL or ETHEREAL?

To quote Brahian: "We prefer the ETHERIAL."

Lurk more, son.

Ethereal

The Ethereal? Huh. Alright, you've narrowed it down enough that we can ask one final question. What do you embody?

Time, the builder of empires and destroyer of all? Blood, the spoils of war and wages of sin? Or Death, the final equality of mankind?

Choose wisely. You can't go back from here.

Time

Time it is

Yes, Time.

Blooooood...or y'know time since I am outnumbered.

Time, bra! GIMME THAT GRAVIGA!

I would prefer Death, but I suppose it's too late to choose anything other than Time.
