You awake in a cold environment. One unfamiliar to you. It's dark - you're hungry and scared. A feeling of uneasiness sets upon you, and the first thing that comes to your mind is that you need to get [[OUT]] of here, and back to the place that you call [[Home]].You position yourself up, taking in your surroundings. The room was made out to look like the inside of a barn, only there's no wood in sight. It was metal, but unlike any metal you've ever seen before - really shiny, and blueish in tint. [[Old hay -> Something in the hay]] is scattered all over the place, and a very low but persistent humming is coming from all around you. In front of you , you see bars, much like a cage, as well as a [[cell door]].The vast land, the beautiful sunrise, the rooster calling every morning. That was your home. Huckleberry Ranch, a beautiful 12-acre piece of heaven in the middle of nowhere. Every morning, you greeted that amber sunrise with jubilation. The days were slow, like molasses. The last thing you remembered was falling asleep in the barn after a hard day's of work.The warmth of that place you call home contrasts with the dark and cold place that you find yourself in now. You have to get [[OUT]].Maybe there might be something in the hay. You scrounge around in the dimly lit barn cell. Then you find something, something strange.
Green, with no real shape to it, almost like jelly. Despite the hay that's been mixed in with this strange sludge, it almost looks clear. it smells strange too, a little sweet, but with meaty undertones. This strange smell reminds you of your immense hunger. You stare at it longingly, not sure what to do.
[[Eat it -> consume]]
[[Ignore it |OUT]]
[[Touch it|It Burns!]]You creep up to the cell door and inspect it. like the rest of the wall, the door is also made from those bars, and lays completely flush with it too. Aside from that, there is a strange lock on the door itself, nothing like the ones that you've seen back at home. With nothing else new to look at, you ponder to yourself on what to do next.
[[Try and force open the door |Ram]]
[[Look around the cell| Something in the hay]]
You bring your mouth down to that green sludge and greedily gulp it down.
//''Sluuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrpppppppppp''//
you are so consumed in your act of pure gluttony that you didn't realize the burning pain in your guts growing stronger and stronger with each mouthfull of this green stuff that you greedily slurp down.
When you realize what's going on it's too late. Whatever it is, it's eating away at you from inside out. The pain is immense, and you feel yourself losing your grip on consciousness. The last thing you remember as you fall into a permanent sleep is the blood spewing from your mouth and nose, and the smell of your own guts.
Ending 01: "Mystery meat" achieved
[[Try Again? |Awakening]]With no better idea, you try the first thing that came into your mind, brute force. Heading all the way to the back of the cell, you steel yourself, and charge through!
//''BAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG''//
the sound of metal on bone reverberates throughout your entire body. That didn't work out as planned... The door was unharmed, and your head has a huge gash. Blood trickles out of your head and all over the floor. You fall over, for the last time. Your captives, alerted by the noise from the cell come and find your cold body in a pool of your warm blood.
Ending 02: Rammed Acheived
[[Try Again?|Awakening]]Before thinking of putting it into your mouth, you decide to touch it first.
//''squeesh''//
It feels cold and squshy, some of it remains stuck, clinging to your skin.
At first nothing really happens, but then you start to notice that your skin feels kinda hot wherever that gel is sticking. You quicky realize that whatever this is, it ''BURNS''. Hastily, you shmear whatever is left on your skin on the hay nearby. Surprisingly enough, the green goop doesnt seem to eat at the hay, at least not as fast as it was with your skin. It probably wouldn't have been a good idea to eat that stuff... [[unless| consume]]...nawww, That would only end horribly. Maybe you can use this for something [[else| cell door]]You creep up to the cell door and inspect it. like the rest of the wall, the door is also made from those bars, and lays completely flush with it too. Aside from that, there is a strange lock on the door itself, nothing like the ones that you've seen back at home. With nothing else new to look at, you ponder to yourself on what to do next.
[[Try and force open the door |Ram]]
~~Look around the cell~~
[[USE THE GOO]]In a stroke of almost pure genius, you remember the goo that you've discovered, maybe you can use it to melt away the lock! You look at it, remembering how much it burned. You hastily kicked it towards the lock in the hopes that some of it landed.To your luck, your aim was better than expecte, and a big glorb lands directly on the lock. You watch with intent as this golbodigook work its magic on the metal, eating away at it. After a couple minutes of waiting, you try your luck and push open the door. At first there was little resitant, but the lock finally gives and the door creeps open. You're free! Now, where is this [[place]]?You walk out into a three way corridor going either side of you, as well as straight forward.Like the walls inside the barn cell, these walls also comprised of the same metal. There are circular lights portruding in lines along all of the walls, soaking the entire place in an almost flourescant bluw glow. There are no discernable destinations on either side, save for a small porthole window at the corners before bending into another direction. Ahead, you see a double door.
[[Go Left|Left]]
[[Go Right|Right]]
[[Go Straight|Straight]]You make your way down to the left from your cell. As you get closer, you realize that the corridor swerves right, as if the whole place is circular in nature. As you pass the porthole [[window]] you come face to face with a door. Above, there seems to be a sign. You can't make out what the sugn is trying to say, only that the symbol closely resembled a bed of some sorts.
[[Enter|Sleeping Quarters]]
[[Head back|place]]You make your way down to the right from your cell. As you get closer, you realize that the corridor swerves left, as if the whole place is circular in nature. As you pass the porthole [[ window]] you come face to face with a door. Above, there seems to be a sign. You can't make out what the sign is trying to say, only that the symbol closely resembled a ship of some sorts.
[[Enter|Escape Pods]]
[[Head back|place]]As you head closer to thje door, you make out hatis on the other side, the room looks quite large, and an assortment of strange sounds and colors are comnig through the door. Looking up, you see a sign with ineligible text, but something tells you that this room is pretty important.
[[Enter|Control Room]]
[[Head Back|place]]You pause and look out the window. The sky is pitch black, and speckled with countless stars. Looking around some more, you realize that even though it is dark , the sun is right there, shining as bright as can be. Then you see it - the blue oceans, the vast lands and specks of clouds- that round ball of water and dirt where you don from, the Earth! You're in space, the final frontier.
[[Return|Left]]As you walked in, you are greeted with the sounds of numerous machines and mechanisms buzzing and blipping and screeching. Looking around, there is a huge array of buttons, switches, levers and keys of different colors, shapes and sizes. In thecenter of the room, there seems to be a large table, projecting a giant picture of the solar system, and a red dot. You piece together that this place must be the controll room, and that that red dot is where you are currently on the map, right next to earth. You ponder as to how you should get home. Maybe trying your luck with the controlls of this ship?
[[Try and figure out the ship's controlls|ButtonMash]]
[[Decide not to mess with unknown machinery|place]]As you head closer to the door, it automatically opens with a harsh hiss
//''HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHTTTTT''//
The room is a little long, but also very dark. On either side of the room lay three pods, each hooked up with tubes, pipes, and wires.A strong blue glow emenates from each of the pods, and at the very end of the room, some sort of controll panel with a single large switch. You look at the [[switch]], and you look behind you at the [[door|Left]], wondering what you should do. As you walk in, you survey the room.
This room appears to be some sort of dock bay, with various tools stranded all over and other, more industrious looknig machines. But, the largest thing that caught your attention was the pod shaped spacecraft. It almost looked like an egg, round and made of that same shiny blue metal as the rest of this saucer. "This is my ticket back home", you think to yurself, as you head inside. Because if your massive size, you are forced to take the cockpit chair out of the craft! as you enter, you see a helmet angling from the cieling of that cockpit.
Heasitantly, you put it on, and a surge of knowledge flows through you. Conveniently, it was knowledge on how to pilot this thing!
Well this is it, you start up the craft with the image of home in your mind - the 12-acre piece of heaven on [[Earth]]. But as you head out, you start to realize the opportuunity that is presented to you. You are at the final frontier. With this craft, you can go where no man or beast has ever been, see stars and planets that have yet to be discovered. There is so much wonder out here, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to [[explore|Explore The Stars]] for a bit?
You pause and look out the window. The sky is pitch black, and speckled with countless stars. Looking around some more, you realize that even though it is dark , the sun is right there, shining as bright as can be. Then you see it - the blue oceans, the vast lands and specks of clouds- that round ball of water and dirt where you don from, the Earth! You're in space, the final frontier.
[[Return|Right]]You make your way towards the end of the room, and you flick the switch. All of sudden ,the pods open up:
//PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH//
Then, they walked out: small, and thin, with large heads and grey skin. They wore tight suits and gun-like weapons int their handds. They looked at eachother in confusion, as if they were confused. One opened its mouth and made some wierd sounds, maybe they were speaking to eachother. Finally, they turned their heads towards the unique one in the room - you - and by the you knew that whatever it is they are thinking, it will not end well for you.
[[Run]]
[[Fight]]Before those strange creatures could make a move, you bolt for the door. Unfirtunateky fir you, this time the door does not automatically open, and you ram your head against it. Dazed and confused, the creatures took the opportunity to subdue you. The last thing you remembered before dozing off was the sound of the ray that was blasted in your face, and the collective laughter of your capturers.
[[Wake Up]]With no where else in this tiny ship to run, you steel yourself for what may be the fight of your life.
You charge right into that small group of captors, letting out a fierce roar.
After a heartfelt fight, you manage to overthrow those evil creatures and arise triumphant! Or so you dreamed.
Right before you were able to do anything, the six blasted you with their guns, sending you into a deep sleep.
[[Wake Up]]You awake once again, but this time you find yourself not in the cell barn that you've broken out of, but someplace else entirely new. You realize that you've been imprisoned again, but there is no discernable way out. You are in what seems like a pit, with decorations that are made to look like a barn. Instead of metal, the pieces were comprised of plastics made to look like the real deal. Plastic grass, plastic sand and dirt, and even plastic hay.Something falls on your head. You look up and you realize the reality of your situation.
Countless of those little grey creatures lined the top of that pit behind a fence that went all the way around. You've become an exhibit in some intergalactic zoo. You cry out in horror, longing for that ranch you called home.
//''MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO''//
Ending 03: Exhibit A Achieved
[[Try again?|Awakening]]Maybe fiddling with these controlls will help. After a good session of button pressing, switch flipping, and eler pulling, nothing really happens, other than the occasional explosion in some nearby room or lights flickering. Then out of the corner of your beady eyes you notice something, something in the far back of the room.
A panel, untouched by you as of yet, containing four very enticing buttons, maybe one of these will do something? Or maybe [[not|place]]
[[Red]]
[[Blue]]
[[Green]]
[[Yellow]]
Home can wait! This is the cosmos were talking about here, there is no place you cannot go, no farmer to boss you around, no noisy animals ruining your sbeauty sleep! It is time to explore.
The engine revs up, and in a flash of light, the craft zips away into the unknown.
Back at the ranch, Farmer John if Huckleberry Ranch awakes to find that yet another one of his cows has gone missing. A crop circle left where she was last seen.
Ending 04: Cows in Space Achieved
[[Try Again?|Awakening]]You stare at the large red button with optimism. "This one looks good". You press it...
The whole ship starts to shake and a loud siren blares all around you, liek the tornado warnings that you've heard on ocassion back at home. You press it again in a panic to see if itll stop the blaring.
Then, all of a sudden, the ship explodes.
//'' KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM''//
From earth, people look up to marvel at the sky. "A Supernova!!!" they shouted. the colorful burst that as a result of the explosion awed and entertained billions of people all over the world. Little did they know, that burst of light was a little more tragic than it seems.
Ending 06: Hamburger meat Achieved
[[Try Again?|Awakening]]**click**
the blue button clicks, but nothing happpens. Maybe another press would make it do something...
[[Press it again|Blue]]
[[This is stupid, lets try another button|ButtonMash]]Ah green, like the grass you see every morning back at your ranch. "Maybe this'll help me," you think to yourself.
You press the green button in hopes for it to help you on your journey back home.
The table at the center of the room is lowered under the floor and disappears. After a couple seconds, it reappears with a plate topped with a flouresent green goo. It smells pretty good, sweet and meaty at the same time. Maybe a quick [[bite| consume]] won't hurt...or would it?
Maybe you should try one of the other [[buttons|ButtonMash]] instead?Maybe this yellow button will do the trick! You press it, waiting for something to happen.
At first, nothing, but the nyou hear something. A low buzzing, kinda like the one you heard while in your cell. But the thing is, it's getting louder. You start to worry as this humm becomes a deafening buzz. Then, all of a sudden, the room explodes with a bunch of different colored lightsm and confetti is laucned everywhere!
In the middle of the room, the table retracts to reveal what seems to be a speaker, which starts to play some sort of song. After a couple minutes of song and confetti, everything stops.
"Huh, that was strange. An instant party", you think to yourself. But this doesn't help you, maybe the other [[buttons|ButtonMash]]'ll do something...No, Space may be amazing, but it does not beat the place that you call home, Huckleberry Ranch. That amber sunrsie, the call of the rooster every morning.The great food that you eat everyday calls out to you, and you wouldn't want to leave them waiting...
On a dark night, a ship lands in the middle of a cornfield. Stumbling out of it, a cow. The next day, Farmer John of Huckleberry Ranch wakes up to see that his favorite cow was already awake.
"Well ain't that a pleasant surprise", he calls, patting her on the head.
the cow moos without a care in the world.
Ending 05: Home Sweet Home Achieved
