The Tailgator

You are driving to work. You have a big presentation today, and if you ace it, you could get a promotion. But that likely won't happen, with this traffic. [[Continue]] (set: $gatorName to (macro: [ (if: (visited: "Hide in car") or (visited: "Drive Off"))[(out:)[alligator]](else:)[(out:)[*thing*]]]))

You look out of your mirror. Someone in a blue car is tailgating you. Perhaps you should teach this tailgater some decency by [[stopping abruptly|Crash]]. Or you could pull over, and [[let him pass|Pull Over]]. What might be the best option (if you don't want to be late) is to [[keep on driving]], ignoring the tailgater.

You stop abruptly. You feel a jolt forwards as the tailgater slams right into you. You should probably [[exchange insurance information|Attack]]. Or I guess you could just [[run off|keep on driving]], although the legality of that maneuver is unquestionably null.

You pull over to the side of the road. The tailgater follows. This guy is a creep. You should tell him to [[get away|Attack 2]]. Or you could just [[go on with your day|keep on driving]].

You keep on driving. Eventually, the traffic clears up and you can drive freely. The (if: (visited: "Hide in car"))[alligator you dealt with](else:)[tailgater] keeps on following you, even honking a little bit. While you are driving, you see a gas station on the side of the road. Maybe you should [[get some gas|Gas Station]], try to shake this guy off. Or you could [[continue to your destination|After Work]].

You get out of the car, hoping to exchange insurance information with the tailgater. (t8n: "slide-up")+(t8n-delay: 1.8s)[Once you get out of the car, you see a... *thing*... wearing a horrifically stretched mask that this *thing* obviously got from Spirit Halloween.

(if: (visited: "Attack") is true)[You run onto the side of the road, but the *thing* is faster. It gets on all fours and keeps on running. You look back and see that it is obviously an alligator.

(set: $deathCount to 0) You enter back into your car. The alligator is attempting to get into it. "Fool! Could you, please, make this easy for me and let me eat you?" You might want to [[call the police|Operator]] or [[attempt to fight the alligator|fight it off (faliure)]]. You could even [[drive off|keep on driving]] Time is of the essence.

Sorry, the alligator caught up to you. [[Captured!|Monologue]]

You stand your ground, and bare your teeth. "Hmm. I guess it's natural to fight in a situation like this." The *thing* gets on all fours. Its human mask falls off, revealing that it's an alligator. Don't hesitate! [[Fight!]] (set: $gatorHealth to 20) (set: $health to 16) (set: $damageMultiplyer to 1)

The alligator gets on top of you, and lays down, to prevent your escape. "I am deeply sorry I have to eat you. If it could be any other way, I would prefer that. ", the alligator tells you, with a heavy British accent. "It's just inflation's been quite hard on me, you know? So I can't afford all the hamburger patties I usually eat, so I had to switch to a more... economical... diet." This alligator seems nice! Most alligators can't talk, but I guess maybe something happened to this one. Perhaps you can [[convince it not to eat you]]? Or [[fight it off|fight it off (faliure)]]?

You call the police. "911, what's your emergency?", the 911 operator says. [["I'm being attacked by an alligator!"]] [["An alligator with a polo shirt is attacking me!"|Operator Hangs Up]] [[Oh, nothing really|Operator Hangs Up]]

"Prank callers, these days there are too many of 'em," The operator hangs up. Perhaps you should [[drive off|keep on driving]], to escape the angry alligator. Or [[call again|Operator]]

You waited too long. The alligator eats you. (text-style:"bold","italic","underline","blur","condense","rumble")+(bg:#f00)[EATEN!!!!] [[Restart|Start]]

"Alright. Sending an officer now." Luckily for you, there was an officer nearby, who shot the alligator. You manage to survive another day, with nothing more than a good story to tell, and a few minor injuries. [[Restart|Start]]

"I need you to be serious, sir. Where are you?" [["Somewhere, someplace"|Operator Hangs Up]] [["Along Route 96, nearby the old McDonalds billboard"]]

"Alright. I'll be seeing you!" You let the alligator hang around your house and bought food for it. Slowly, you befriended the creature. You started documenting your adventures with the creature (who you eventually named George), and created a moderatly popular blog. Using the money from the blog, you quit your job and went back to school to learn Herpetology. Using this new skill (along with your previous degree in chemistry, you figure out that a popular brand of animal feed ("Feed 'M Mals: No matter what the animal, it can feed it!") was causing animals to gain sudden intelligence after a few years, and become aggressive. You win the Nobel Prize for your discovery and retire peacefully. [[Restart|Start]]

The alligator smiles at you. "I come from the good ol' North Manchester Zoo. A great zoo; really. I was always well fed and content. Until the zoo went bankrupt, and I was shipped across the pond, to a much less... established... zoo. It was horrible there, but there wasn't much security, so I escaped. After that, I survived off of food scraps and trash. People started to put alligator repellent on their trashcans, so I resorted to begging for money to buy food. But inflation really made it difficult to get buy, so I decided to start hunting people. Any other questions?" [["Have you tried to eat anyone before me?"]] [["Why do you talk?"]] [["Nope"]]

"No, you are my first human! Well, you know what they say, second time's the charm!" The alligator laughs. "Any other questions?" [["Nope"]] [ [["Where do you come from?"]] [["Why do you talk?"]]

You calmly call Animal Control, and the alligator is hauled off to the pound. [[Restart|Start]]

You hit the alligator's snout with a coat hanger until it scampers off. [[Restart|Start]]

You carefully go down the fire escape. The alligator cannot fit through the window, so you safely run away from the alligator. You'll get a hotel, and call Animal Control in the morning. [[Restart|Start]]

You throw your laptop at the alligator. Too bad, you'll never finish that novel. It doesn't do much to the alligator, and it bites you hard. [[Continue Fight|Run into bedroom]] (set: $health to it - (random: 5, 10)) (set: $gatorHealth to it - (random: 4, 6))

You see the alligator drop on the floor. Using its last breath, it curses you, and then proceedes to leave this plane of existence. You have slain it. [[Restart|Start]]

Your wounds are too much for you. You bleed out and are eaten by the alligator. [[Restart|Start]]

You get out of the car, hoping to exchange insurance information with the tailgater. "Stop following me, creep!" you scream. (t8n: "slide-up")+(t8n-delay: 1.8s)[Once you get out of the car, you see a... *thing*... wearing a horrifically stretched mask that this *thing* obviously got from Spirit Halloween. It has green scales and is wearing a polo shirt. Also, it's running right towards you. You should probably [[run|Run]]. You could also [[go back in the car|Hide in car]]. Maybe try [[telling it to attack someone else]].] (after: 10s)[(go-to: "Run 2")]

"Don't attack me! I'm too *fierce* and *strong*. Also, all my bones are too strong, and my muscles are probably too firm and not very tasty. So don't try to eat me." You calmly explain the main reasons it should not eat you. "Alright," it says. "I am an alligator of taste, and if what you say is true, I will be better served finding different prey." It disappears into the wilderness. [[Restart|Start]]

The *thing* bursts through your window and eats your head off. [[Restart|Start]]

In a final blaze of glory, it turns around and leaps 5 feet in the air, coming towards you! [[Don't dodge]] [[Dodge]] [[Don't dodge]] [[Don't dodge]] [[Don't dodge]] (after: 4s)[(go-to: "Don't dodge")]

The alligator jumps at you at such a speed that it knocks you out. Shortly after that, it brutally eats you, leaving nothing behind. (text-style:"bold","italic","underline","blur","condense","rumble")+(bg:#f00)[EATEN!!!!] [[Restart|Start]]
