"Are you the lobby manager?" you ask, and she smiles her warm (or as warm as a ghost can be) smile.
"Yup," she says, "That I am. Ms. Periwinkle, nice to meet you!" she tips her pale hat to you, and continues. "You're the new intern, so I'm supposed ta give you some information. Basically, you'll follow some of our ghosts around and help out. But because you're alive," she tilts her head, "just follow me."
You think for a moment, but she grabs your hand and pulls you through the door into the dark. Wasn't there supposed to be another room in here? you think, not noticing the white abyss all around you with one grey door in the corner, but then your body begins to shiver violently. All warmth is leaving it, and when you look down as you shake and vibrate, you notice your hands are like pearly fog.
"One moment," says Ms. Periwinkle. "You'll look normal in a second."
And then your fleshy color comes back. Despite that, you're still shivering.
"You'll get used to it. We just turned you to a ghost! Whenever you walk through that door," she points to the dark brown door you just went through," you'll be one of us. Walk out, you'll be human again." she grins widely. "Can't be havin' a young'un alive on the job!"
Your knees quaking, you turn to her.
Do you:
a) Start to splutter. "What's going on?!"
b) Shiver slightly, and force a smile.
c) Say, "Ms. Periwinkle, what happened to me?"
d) Turn away from her, clutching your shoulders in an effort to warm up.
e) Laugh out of fear.
f) Custom response.
NOTE on action responses: these will start to appear later in the story during action sequences and will effectively make the story between the action much shorter.
Snickerdoodles chooses: B
You force a smile, She tips her head, and begins to talk, "You're probably wondering what's going on," she says, "so I'll explain. This company employs ghosts for the task of scaring and keeping humans on their toes." she shakes her head a moment, her outline blurring, "because if we don't, stuff happens." Grinning, she waves, and the world starts to materialize around you.
And what happens? you want to ask, but you start to notice the summery field you've landed in. Periwinkle smiles, becoming a lot more solid, and walks with you to the grey door. She opens it, and another room stretches out before you, a loud rowdy room full of people.
"Ghosts," says Periwinkle. "But this is the ghost world, tucked between yours and the official afterlife. Ghosts spend a certain amount of time here on earth, before being sent up or down." she shrugs and turns to you. "Any questions?"
Do you:
a) Shake your head.
b) Custom response
Snickerdoodles chooses: A
You shake your head, and turn to the rowdy room. Blinking rather hard because of a bright, flashy light, everyone turns to you as you enter. Everyone waits, as if egging you on to speak.
Do you:
a) Say, "Where am I, exactly?!"
b) Say, "Who are you guys?"
c) Custom response
