Excellent!

Say goodbye to Cuddles the cat, make sure the windows are open before departure (the landlord gets awfully prissy when we forget), then takeoff!

THe period and comma keys on my keyboard aren't working properly, so if i miss one here and there, please overlook it.

DRINK
(2) You drink 3 cups of coffee. Then the URGE hits you. You clutch at the back of your pants and shuffle toward the nearest toilet as fast and you can without jostling your bowels. You spend the next fifteen minutes evacuating all the coffee you have eaten and drunk so far today, along with whatever else was in your digestive tract a t the time. Certainly not the nice, healthy and filling breakfast momma made for you this morning. Nope, just whatever you had had for a midnight snack before collapsing into bed last night. Whatever it was, it is foul now. It takes you several more minutes to properly tidy up and stagger out of the stall, walking a tad more stiffly than before. And now you feel exhausted.

Excellent!

(4) You beep seven times at Cuddles. Cuddles beeps seven times at you. You check CUddles' nutrient dispensory and waste repository: full, and empty, respectively. You open the window to leave and shut it behind you - don't want Cuddles going rogue, after all. And away you go into the thick of the urban noise and bustle of midmorning city life.

Ah...take a nice rest on the beach, surley nothing bad will happen to me now...
Oh no, you said the thing. He said the thing, guys. You said the thing. You sit on the beach. A tentacle lurches up from beneath the sand spraying you with the course, rough material, before wrapping around your legs and pulling, drawing you toward the depths. You claw against the wet sand for purchase, a weapon, anything, and hear from behind the distinct snarl of a hootwolf. It sounds like someone sneezing into a trombone. You look over your shoulder as sand continues being ground into your pants and see three of the ugly beasts at the dry edge of the beach.

(1) Had you rolled a 3 you would have gotten something similar to the Singing Bass Fish Trophy. Instead, you get a rolling cloud of noxious fumes choking you and obscuring your vision. Maybe those two chemicals weren't supposed to go together like that. Or maybe they were but not for the life-giving operation. Now's not the time to ponder now's the time to try not to choke to death!

Try to use a sharp rock or something to crush, pulverize or cut the tentacle before booking it. Shouldent have said the thing, you never are supposed to say the thing.

Head out, towards ever more efficiency!

If I spot any ragamuffins, scallywags or other ne’er-do-wells, try to resist the urge of drone striking them. Or at most just a teensy bit of droning. Just a little. Just the tip of the missile.

(2) You grasp around for something to hit the tentacle with, and end up just using your fists. You're about waist deep in water now (I mean, you are sitting so the water is really about a foot deep or so), and still bound and dragged. Let's see if that hootwolf is ... less friendly to you or the rubbery water spider (6) Well, it's hard to say of the hootwolf, and his pack are more more hostile to you or the sealife as all three of them come barrelling into the surf clamboring over you, jostling and clawing and biting. Good news is, you are currently not being dragged under. Bad news is, everything else.

(5) You drink way too much (again) and are now the epitome of hyperactive. Your hands shake. Your feet are vibrating. Your teeth hurt. You can hear your own blinkiing. Your ears itch. THe lights in this BiggO are too bright. You are nauseous. You feel like you could run a marathon. You realize you are running already.

Wear the gasmask I have for just this kind of situation!
(3) You grab your gas mask and put it on. Your lungs fill with noxious fumes before you realize the mask doesn't have a filter. gagging, you fumble a filter into place, and try to remember the procedure for flushing the gasses from inside the mask. after a couple minutes of painful coughing, you manage to exhaust enough of the fumes to breathe without dying, more or less. You can't see two feet in this cloud though and these filters don't last for that long.

Head out, towards ever more efficiency!

(1) You spot some Local Youths as you commit your patrol, and completely fail to resist the urge to [WAR CRIMES HERE]. Several minutes later, the street is cordoned off, the formerly luxury car is a boiling cloud of black smoke and an artistic spray of broken glass, bent metal, and burnt rubber, and, one way or another, the Local Youths are no longer to be seen. You ponder what classification to file this task under: efficiency improvement, high value target neutralization, public relations incident, [REDACTED], or other.

I’ll misfile reports, order unnecessary doomsday devices, and even get my own supervillain kit!  Chaos Ho!
(6) you misfile reports all morning. You misfile reports so hard you find yourself deep in the mail room, or the office records room, or ... where the heck is this anyway? You don't recognize these hallways, those cubicles, that particular open floor plan, the ring of those phones, or those employees. Wait are those even employees?? Maybe subdued experimental subjects? SOemthing else? You try not to get caught looking at them. eye contact is so awkward.

Aw geez. What a mess! How will I ever file this away properly?

You know what, just put it under 'pending' for now, we have an office to get to!

Im not restrained, though I am being mauled. Well...lets see if I took anything on the way from Evilcorp to a walk...rummage through my backpack to see if I have some weapon or mind control ray or something to destroy these wolves.

(5) you file this under pending and soon find yourself bouncing idly against a window outside the office, the sounds of gunfire, sirens and flames long distant. a coworker glances your way, then quickly and efficiently returns their attention to their own workstation.

Im not restrained, though I am being mauled. Well...lets see if I took anything on the way from Evilcorp to a walk...rummage through my backpack to see if I have some weapon or mind control ray or something to destroy these wolves.
(4) Scrabbling back, you pull your backpack off your back and unzip. There! wedged down against the side! You toss aside a pair of jeans, a small camp stove, and a magazine, and pull out an air horn. You honk it, and all the hootwolves jump away, scattering in a rough semicircle just out of reach of the grasping tentacle, facing you and hooting. You scrabble back even further, pointing the horn at each of the hooters in turn and getting out of range of the tentacles.

It's all gone wrong! Quickly crawl out of the basement before I die.
(3) you crawl up the basement steps and collapse in your kitchen as noxious fumes boil up into the house, setting off the carbon monoxide alarms. You slowly drag yourself toward the outside door and what passes for fresh air in the city.

Keep running
(4) you run. You run out of the BiggO, across the parking lot, down the street and across, dodging traffic. You run past a police cordon and a burning car. You run down to the dock district and spy the skull shaped island off in the bay. You run past a rat eating a seal. Several seagulls are cawing at the rat in hopes of joining in on the meal. you run past a hotdog vendor. THe smell hits some part of your brain like a truck and you feel both intensely hungry and nauseous. A hotdog vendor next to teh docks.  guess people will get used to anything, eh?
