Modern Fantasy Office Job (CYOA)

[a fun little Choose-Your-Own-Adventure where you go through a ridiculous amount of trouble to get to your crappy office job in hopes of getting promoted. I'll either choose whatever answer I like most or that moves the story along or, if a few people wanna do something, I'll most likely choose that. Have fun :)]

Your name is John, and you're a common elf living in some sort of placeholder city. You wake up and look at your alarm clock, immediately screaming "Oh shit!" in the ancient dialect of the Silent Protagonist.

You're in your apartment, which is of a modest, but not suffocating, size. There's a bathroom, a kitchenette, and a twin-sized bed, as well as a desk where you practice your secret passion for the arts (which you're kind of probably okay at).

You're not quite late for your job yet, but by the time you get there, it'll be at least ten minutes too late. You get up, frantically trying to decide what to do.

> Grab some quick breakfast

>decide to simply eat a couple granola bars while you get your outfit on.

>Grab a moist towel to clean yourself

> Grab a quick breakfast

>Grab a quick breakfast

You decide to eat a breakfast consisting of a granola bar and a glass of milk. The milk is a day over the use-by date, but you figure it's okay enough. After your breakfast, you rinse the glass and set it in the rack. Also in the room, you have a magic staff that you practice with every, like, three months and still suck at, a few home decor magazines, and an assortment of Punko Flops that you like to collect. You're now up to 15 minutes.

>Try to use the staff to teleport to work

>Try to use the staff to teleport to work

You attempt to teleport to work using your staff. The air around the staff glimmers, right before you accidentally cast a spell that magically stubs your big toe. You groan in pain and fall onto the couch. Guess that's outta the question until you can find a spellbook or something. Your couch feels lumpy and uncomfortable, but you figure it's good to rest on for a moment. You're up to 23 minutes.

[input command]

-Tries to use a healing potion to soften the pain.

-get dressed

> Lie in pain and call your boss

>Lie in pain and call your boss

This was the only command original thought you came up with that had that strange, yet appealing, little arrow next to it that makes you want to do things. Therefore, you lie there, groaning in pain and dialing your boss's number. He picks up, and as you attempt to explain the situation, you are reminded that you are a Silent Protagonist who only explains through actions and occasionally miming. Your boss hangs up.

premature bumping cus i really dont want this to die so early

>Go outside and climb aboard the mode of transportation you own.

>Send your boss an email explaining that you're suffering from severe acute Ligma and won't be able to come in.

>Go outside and climb aboard the mode of transportation you own.

You decide to go outside and get in your crappy old STATION WAGON. You put the KEYS in, turn the thing on, and listen to it sputter and make a sort of coughing sound but for a car for the next thirteen minutes. When it finally starts up, you're so happy that you give a thumbs up to NOTHING IN PARTICULAR, as if you're a stock image. As you put your hand out the WINDOW to give the NOTHING a thumbs up, the CAR sputters a few more times. The NOTHING greatly appreciates the thumbs up

> drive to the office by going down the quickest route

>drive to the office by going down the quickest route

You attempt to drive to the OFFICE via the quickest route. After about twenty minutes of driving, you hit something in the ROAD. Getting out of your STATION WAGON, you see it. It's a small GOBLIN, holding a DAGGER. His FRIENDS can be heard nearby, approaching quickly.

[INPUT COMMAND]

> reason with the goblin

> floor it

>Floor it

You floor it, running over the GOBLIN in the process. The GOBLIN'S FRIENDS continue giving chase, and you're nearly out of gas.

>distract the goblin's friends by throwing something they like a lot to them

>Recover your sanity. And remember no one is weaker than goblins

>distract the goblin's friends by throwing something they like a lot to them

You consider that no one is weaker than GOBLINS, but then remember you're an OFFICE WORKER, which manages to rank slightly lower. Therefore, you look for something to throw to them, but only find some CHOCOLATE COINS from LIKE THREE YEARS AGO. You throw them back, but the goblins manage to eat and run at the same time. Looks like you're in for a STEREOTYPICAL CARCHASE.

[INPUT COMMAND]

>Win + R
