Oh no! It appears you are out of milk. Well, now is a good a time as any to head out and go shopping. That would be a perfectly simple task, if not for the fact of not knowing where it is. You've only just moved here, and are not entirely familiar with this part of town, plus, this is your first time going shopping around here. Still, you know that there MUST be at least one supermarket around here, and if you explore (read: wander aimlessly) long enough, you are bound to find it. You're sure of it! No chance whatsoever of anything going wrong.

Right now, you gaze out your front door upon your new neighborhood. The world awaits!

What do you do?

Woo, a fresh adventure!

> Consult Google Maps

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan, actually. Will save a lot of- Oh dammit!



Your attempt to log onto the internet is unsuccessful, as the internet in this house doesn't get hooked up until tomorrow afternoon. You'd completely forgotten about that. Oh, the hassles of moving.

Now where did you put that? Oh yes! You quickly head upstairs to retrieve your key.



You can't exactly remember why you left this here, but no matter, you have it.



You add the key to your inventory. Whatever that is.

> Consider meeting and asking neighbor



This guy? No way! Your JUDGEMENT is currently at 8. You must have 6 or less JUDGEMENT to approach dangerous individuals such as this one.

> Check the mailbox

You head back downstairs and check the mailbox.



Hmm looks like you got the package you were waiting for! You are certainly glad you thought ahead and had it shipped to your new address before you moved.



The box contains a bottle of PROPERGROW brand ultrafast growth formula. You're not into gardening or anything, but still, the ability to "[grow] any plant instantly" seemed really tempting. If it is anywhere near as potent as the website claims, you'll have all sorts of fun with this stuff.

That does look pretty distinguished, doesn't it? You bought it off of some guy who bought it from some other guy who makes a living refitting old cars with modern tech. Has the stylish aesthetic of the former half of the 20th century, plus you can unlock the doors remotely. Always fun to surprise passerby that way. You got it for dirt cheap too, probably due to the fact that the guy didn't get around to replacing the old engine for whatever reason. Sure, its a bit noisy, and hard to start sometimes, and the mpg isn't so great, but hey, it looks cool, so you aren't complaining.

>Climb onto something to get a higher vantage point and see if you can spot a gas station nearby.



You climb onto the balcony and immediately notice a sign in the distance. You can't exactly read what it says from where you are, but you're sure it's what you're looking for.

>Drink Propergrow in order to lower your Judgement down to 5 so you may talk to the dangerous individual.

You return to your lawn and pick up the Propergrow.



You are about to remove the top to drink it, but the text on the bottle gets your attention:



Now that you realize that consuming Propergrow may be dangerous, your JUDGEMENT prevents you from drinking it. You now must have 3.8 or lower JUDGEMENT in order to consume Propergrow.

>Test growth formula on grass.

You give the grass several squirts.



Oh wow. This stuff is friggin' awesome! Wait...



Okay. That's a bit more potent than you expected. It would probably be wise to limit it to one squirt from now on.

...On second thoughts, this probably isnt a great idea.

Your awareness of your relatively high PULCHRITUDE stat boosts your POV meter.



Now you can see everything from the third person Point of View! How utterly useless really, unless... Hmm... Well, you're sure you'll think of something.

> spray at neighbor



Wow, to even think of that you be a special kind of stupid. You huff exasperatingly at the fleeting thought. You won't even bother to entertain the notion of such a reckless action, at least not without a JUDGEMENT of 4.5 or lower.

... Wait a minute! Now that you are no longer a faceless protagonist, you must have a name. What is your name?

Said gag name is immediately rejected. Try again.

> Sean Bound



Mixing and matching suggestions works wonders, doesn't it? You've found the perfect name!

> Examine stat sheet

You pull out your trusty stat sheet.





It doesn't have much on it currently, but you intend to add more to it as you encounter situations to which previously unknown stats apply.
