Harrhy - Campus Run

(text-color: "black")[(text-style: "outline")[CAMPUS RUN!]] You have a limited amount of time to get to class and hand in your paper. Your choices will have an effect on your final grade. How will //you// do? What is your name? (input-box: bind $name, "XX=", 1, "")[[Enter|Waking up]] (set: $grade to 50)

It is a school day, you decide to wake up slowly and start the day by checking your email. There is an email from your professor, and it is marked as <u>**//URGENT!//**<u> <img src="https://www.creativeventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/evil-urgent-email-800x500.jpg" height=75% width=75%> [[Open Email|Opening Email]]

The email says: "$name, remember that your final paper is due in class this morning. There will be (text-color: "black")[(text-style: "smear")[absolutely NO]] grace period granted!" You are in a (text-style: "rumble")[state of panic]. You slept in and forgot the paper was due today! You better [[get ready|Getting Ready]], (text-color: "black")[FAST!]

Every second that goes by is a precious moment wasted... as well as the chance for a better grade. (text-colour: "black")[Your decisions count!] Here is your (text-colour: "black")[**grade**] right now: $grade Will you make it (text-style: "subscript")[better...] or (text-style: "strike")[worse?] [[Brush teeth|Brush]] [[Skip brushing your teeth|Skip]]

Really, $name? Is a good grade really worth tooth decay? Your professor will (text-color: "black")[**definitely**] not appreciate this. (set: $grade to $grade - (5)) As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**decreased.**] Don't worry, there is still time to improve. Now, its time to (text-colour: "red")[(text-style: "shudder")[GO!]] [[Get the bus|Bus]] [[Call a cab|Cab]]

Amazing! $name, you still practice good hygiene, even in a rush! Your professor will (text-color: "black")[definitely] appreciate this. (set: $grade to $grade + (random:5,10)) As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**improved**.] Now, its time to (text-colour: "red")[(text-style: "shudder")[GO!]] [[Get the bus|Bus]] [[Call a cab|Cab]]

(text-colour:"fuchsia")[Nice job,] $name! You are combatting climate change one bus ride at a time! <img src="https://i.imgur.com/GlnFaEg.jpg" height=95% width=95%> Too bad the environment cannot fix your [[grade|Breakdown]]... As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**decreased**]. (set: $grade to $grade - (5))

You arrive at school //2x faster// because you called a cab, nice job! As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**increased**.] (set: $grade to $grade + (5)) Time to [[run to class!|Enter]]

You arrive at the entrance to the UC, promptly entering through the main doors. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/Xiq1zWu.png" width=90% height=90%> Are you going to... Take the [[stairs|Stairs]] to class, or take the [[elevator|Elevator]]?

(text-colour: "white")[(text-style: "superscript")[Running, running, running...]] it feels as if you've been (text-colour: "white")[(text-style: "emboss")[running]] for days You are almost there! All you have to do is cross the road and you will be at the designated entrance. Will you [[jaywalk|Jaywalk]], or [[wait at the crosswalk|Wait]]?

(text-style: "shadow")[Suddenly] the bus **breaks down.** <img src="https://i.imgur.com/fuwqz7D.jpg" height=95% width=95%> You are left stranded at the Avalon Mall. The only other choice is to [[RUN|Run to School]] to school!

Nice job, $name! You will certainly get to class quickly now... (text-colour: "red")[(text-style: "rumble")[OH NO!!!]] <img src="https://i.imgur.com/r7ccBgp.jpg"> A police car is coming! What will you do?! [[RUN AWAY!|Police Chase]] or [[Surrender|Surrender]]

(text-colour: "white")[Good job], $name! You waited and crossed at the appropriate time. A police car even drove past after you crossed, (text-colour: "black")[(text-style: "condense")[phew...]] that was a close one. Time to [[enter|Enter]] MUN!

Silly, $name! The police were simply driving by, they were not out to get you. However... Now that you are (text-style: "shudder")[running] away from them like a (text-colour: "maroon")[wild gazelle], you look awfully (text-colour: "black")[(text-style: "expand")[suspicious...]] Are you going to... [[surrender|Surrender]] or [[continue running|Arrest]]?

The police drive past you like //nothing even happened//... That's what you get for being a good citizen! At last, you have arrived at MUN. Time to [[run to class!|Enter]]

As you continue to run... even you yourself wonder (text-style: "blur")[why am I still running...?] Really.. (text-style: "blurrier")[why are you still running.] All you did was jaywalk. <img src= "https://i.imgur.com/wb7N0ka.jpg" width=75% height=75%> Alas, you made the choice, and you cannot change that. And now you have been arrested. Your paper will be way past due when you return from the police station. You must [[return|Welcome Page]] to the beginning. (enchant: ?page, (text-colour:white)+(background:red))

Nice job $name! Fitness is (text-colour: "white")[//always//] important. (text-style: "condense")[However], you are in so much of a rush you (text-style: "shudder")[slip and fall] down the stairs. It hurts really bad... You better take the [[elevator|Elevator]].

The elevator comes slowly but surely as you wait... until you step inside. <img src= "https://i.imgur.com/6EcRGFj.jpg" width=50% height=50%> Suddenly the elevator comes to a (text-style: "smear")[halt]... (text-style: "fade-in-out")[what's going on]? You start to panic, is the elevator going to break down and leave you [[stranded|UC]]...?

After a minute of (text-colour: "red")[panic], you arrive at the second floor of the UC. You realize you were //never in danger//, and everyone waiting for the elevator could hear your screams... [[Continue|Food Court]]

You carry on walking through the UC, going as //quickly// as you possibly can. <img src= "https://i.imgur.com/tpNb3Ds.png" width=90% height=90%> However... as you sprint pass Mary Browns, the smells are (text-colour: "white")[(text-style: "fade-in-out")[ever so tempting...]] You stop (text-colour: "black")[**dead in your tracks.**] Will you... Order a [[big mary|Mary Browns]] or [[carry on|It dawns on you]] making your way to class?

You cave. It is time for a Big Mary. How could you resist? Plus, it's Monday. As you are waiting in line, you see... (text-color: "red")[(text-style: "shudder")[YOUR PROFESSOR!!!]] You try your best to remain unseen but the both of you lock eyes... and they look (text-style: "emboss")[mad.] //"Order 52, your Big Mary is ready"//... you hear uttered in the distance. Your professor is making their way over to you... its now or never... Will you: [[Take the burger|Burger]] or [[Run away|Prof Chase]] from your professor?

(text-style: "emboss")[Suddenly], it dawns on you that your paper is //not yet stapled//. Your professor will (text-colour: "black")[(text-style: "emboss")[definitely not]] appreciate this. Will you: (text-style: "shudder")[Run] to the library to [[staple|Stapler]] your paper, or carry on your way to [[class|carry on]]?

You grab the burger and decide to stay in place, (text-colour: "white")[(text-style: "subscript")[calm, cool, and collected...]] Your professor walks over to you, however their expression has //softened//. "Hey, $name", your professor utters. "I was really mad for a second there because a student in one of my classes forgot to pass in their paper today. But I just remembered it's (text-colour: "orange")[Big Mary Monday]!" Your professor orders a Big Mary alongside you. You both say your goodbyes, and you [[carry on|It dawns on you]] to class.

Your professor looks at you with a (text-style: "expand")[puzzled] face as you decide to sprint away from them. However, they only (text-style: "shudder")[pick up the pace] once they see you running away. One by one, you and your professor are running down the corridor. They are (text-colour: "black")[(text-style: "condense")[closing in on you]]... and you're starting to //lose faith in your track and field abilities//. Will you: [[Give up|give up]] running, or topple over a [[trash can|trash can]] in their path?

$name, you know your professor doesn't keep a stapler in their classroom. They (text-colour: "black")[//definitely//] won't appreciate your unstapled paper... hopefully they still accept it. (set: $grade to $grade - 15) As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**decreased**]. Time to [[keep going|carry on 2]]

You exit through the UC doors and make your way down the stairs to class. As you reach the bottom of the stairs, you can take two paths. (text-colour: "white")[Will you] take the [[//desire path//|Slip]] that leads across the (text-colour: "green")[grass], or continue along the [[pavement|Pavement]]?

You enter the library and (text-style: "shudder")[sprint] until you reach the (text-colour: "blue")[//Supply Station//] in the commons. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/AdTP2sP.jpg" width=50% height=50%> [[Staple|Exit Library]] your paper.

Your paper needs to be stapled (text-colour: "red")[//**ASAP!**//] As you reach the end of the UC, you ponder which route to take... Will you: Take the [[munnels|Enter Library]] to the library, or go [[outside|Outside to library]]?

(text-colour: "purple")[Woohoo!] Your paper is stapled, your professor will (text-colour: "black")[//definitely//] appreciate this. (set: $grade to $grade + 15) As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**increased**]. At last, it is time to offically [[exit the library|carry on 2]] and make your way to class.

As you exit the school on route to your class, your phone (text-style: "shudder")[buzzes] in your back pocket. You try to ignore it, but it (text-style: "rumble")[buzzes again]... and (text-style: "rumble")[again]... and (text-style: "rumble")[again]. As you reach for your phone, you see your grandma is calling you. Will you: [[Answer|Answer call]] the call, or [[ignore|Ignore call]]?

You walk along the //desire path//, which cuts your walk time in half. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/zVqc09s.jpg" width=50% height=50%> However, the grass is (text-colour: "black")[not] salted like the pavement... You (text-style: "rumble")[slip and fall] on the (text-colour: "white")[ice]. You hear someone //faintly laugh at you// from afar. You try to brush it off and regroup yourself until you realize... your paper has (text-colour: "red")[flown away in the wind!] You must get up //now// and [[catch it!!!|Catch the Paper]]

You make your way along the pavement, (text-style: "condense")[slowly but surely]. You notice someone else take the //desire path//, slip, and fall onto the ground. That could've been you! After a minute or so of walking, you reach the [[library|Enter Library]].

Your paper drifts along the ground (text-style: "expand")[further] and (text-style: "expand")[further] with every gust of wind. You give it your best shot, but you are //not// able to retrieve your paper. It is gone with the wind, and there is //not// enough time to print it again before class. As you walk away in (text-colour: "red")[defeat], you lock eyes with your [[professor|Chat with professor]].

(text-style: "condense")[Suddenly], the //potent// smell of a (text-colour: "brown")[Tim Hortons coffee] hits you... but you force yourself to remain vigilant, you (text-colour: "black")[//must//] focus on your paper. Your class is on the third floor, however as you make your way to the elevator, you realize it is broken (text-colour: "black")[//again//...] You are so close, its time to run up the [[stairs|Third floor arts]]!

You arrive at the third floor of the Arts and Administration building. Your class is down the corridor and to the left... you are //almost there//, with three minutes to spare! You finally arrive at your classroom, will you: [[Run|Run into class]] inside, or [[walk|Walk into class]] slowly.

Your professor locks eyes with you as you (text-style: "rumble")[sprint] into the classroom. "//$name//, could you make it any more obvious that you forgot the paper was due today?", mutters the professor. Drat. As a result, your professor takes off marks from your paper. (set: $grade to $grade - 5) It's finally time to hand in your [[paper|Hand in paper]].

You stroll into class, (text-style: "condense")[calm, cool, and collected]. Your professor (text-colour: "white")[smiles] at you and says: "$name, I'm honestly impressed that you remembered to hand in your paper today." Little do they know you (text-style: "blur")[almost didn't]... It's finally time to hand in your [[paper|Hand in paper]].

You walk up to your professors desk with your paper in hand. Your professor is (text-style: "shudder")[eyeing you down] the whole time. The look on their face is full of (text-style: "outline")[awe], they seem surprised that you even showed up today with a paper in hand. "$name, how did you find the paper?" asks your professor. (text-colour: "white")[What will you say?] [["It was great|Lie]], I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment and was intrigued by the content." [["It was meh.|Truth]] I'm glad it's over. Frankly, I almost forgot it was due today!

"Oh my, $name. //At least// you're honest." Your professor holds back a chuckle, amazed at your candor. (set: $grade to $grade + (random:5,10)) As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**increased**]. Your professor is so curious as to how you did that they (text-style: "condense")[instantly] read and grade your paper infront of you. As you stand there, waiting eagerly, a few minutes pass by and your professor (text-style: "expand")[finally] hands you the paper, along with your final grade. It's time to see [[how you did|Final grade]]...

"//Really, $name//? I can sniff out a lie from a (text-style: "blur")[mile away], I'm (text-colour: "red")[taking away marks] just for your falsities." Your professor mutters. (set: $grade to $grade - (random:5,20)) As a result, your grade has **decreased**. Your professor is so curious as to how you did that they //instantly// read and grade your paper. As you stand there, waiting eagerly, a few minutes pass by and your professor finally hands you the paper, along with your (text-colour: "black")[(text-style: "shadow")[final grade]]. It's time to see [[how you did|Final grade]]...

You take the paper from your professors hand, and (text-style: "shadow")[swiftly] skim over the markings until you reach the (text-colour: "white")[final page]. (text-style: "emboss")[(text-colour: "black")[This is it... your grade is finally being revealed.]] **Grade:** $grade (if: $grade > 50)[(text-colour: "black")[Congrats! You received a passing grade, and will succesfully complete the semester!] It's time to enjoy (text-colour: "green")[CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!]] (else-if: < 50)[(text-colour: "red")[Oh no... you did not receive a pass.] You will (text-colour: "black")[//not be able to complete the semester//]... better luck next time!] Return to the [[beginning|Welcome Page]].

You stop running in (text-colour: "black")[(text-style: "expand")[defeat]], realizing you cannot outrun your professor. (text-colour: "white")["$name, why are you running away from me?"] Will you: Tell the [[truth|Honesty]] or [[lie|Decieve]]?

Your professor is caught off guard as the trash can falls infront of them, however, their reflexes are (text-style: "condense")[whip sharp!] They jump over the trash heap and manage to catch up with you, and you are //forced// to stop in your tracks. (text-colour: "red")["$NAME!!! Why are you running away from me?!"] Will you: Tell the [[truth|Honesty]] or [[lie|Decieve]]?

"To be honest professor, I //completely forgot// about the paper today, and I was running late to class... I thought you were going to get mad at me, so I ran", you say shyly. Your professor looks you up and down and says, "honestly, $name, I'm not mad about that. I haven't even made it to class yet myself. If anything, I'm just mad that you just left your (text-colour: "orange")[Big Mary] unattended! You walked away from it like it was nothing... on (text-colour: "orange")[Big Mary Monday] of all days!!!" Your professor is not happy with you. Clearly they have (text-style: "condense")[really strong] feelings about Big Mary Monday. (set: $grade to $grade - (random:5,9)) As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**decreased**]. It's time to [[carry on|It dawns on you]] your way to class.

"Oh, I wasn't running away from you... I uh.. I had to go to the bathroom!" You try to play off the encounter, "aha.. you know what they say, when nature calls..!" Your professor blushes and looks down awkwardly. "Cool. Spare me the details next time, $name." They mutter as you walk away. It's time to [[carry on|It dawns on you]] your way to class.

"$name, was that your paper flying away in the wind? //No way!// You might be the most (text-colour: "black")[unlucky person] I've ever met." Your professor chuckles at you. As (text-colour: "red")[offended] as you are, you know they're right. "You know, if it wasn't a final paper, I would allow you to have an extension. However, I'm fully booked, and if I don't get that paper today... well (text-style: "condense")[lets just say you're out of luck]." Your paper simply is not getting passed in today. Better luck next year, $name... (text-colour: "black")[You must [[return|Welcome Page]] to the beginning.]

As you pick up the call, your grandma beams with excitement to hear from you. You have a quick chat before you let her know that you must continue your way to class. She wishes you well on your paper, and you leave the call feeling reinvigorated and full of good luck. (set: $grade to $grade + 6) As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**increased**]. You [[exit|Exit School]] the school doors and make your way to class.

(text-colour: "red")[//Really, $name?//] You are going to hang up on your grandmother of all people? I know the paper is important, but is it //that// important?? (set: $grade to $grade - 6) As a result, your grade has (text-colour: "black")[**decreased**]. You [[exit|Exit School]] the school doors and make your way to class.

When outside, you sprint as quickly as possible to class, trying your best not to slip on the (text-colour: "white")[ice]. You are moments away from the Arts and Administration building, where your class is located. You (text-style: "fade-in-out")[jiggle] the door handle until you realize it is (text-colour: "red")[locked]. You must find another [[entrance|Another entrance]].

As you run around the building, you finally find an open door. You (text-colour: "black")[run] inside the building, practically in a (text-colour: "white")[(text-style: "fade-in-out")[cold sweat]] at this point. You have five minutes to get to class, [[GO!|Arts building]]
