Hello?
[[...->0dot]]
(set: $girl to 0)
(set: $fight to 0)
<style> tw-passage { background-color: black; }
</style>You find yourself surrounded by unfamiliar buildings.
How did you get here? Where did you come from?
And more importantly, what do you plan to do now?

<!--Styles and Audio-->
<style> tw-story { background-image: url("file:///Users/sanerstudio3/Dropbox/_Charlotte/Schule/_matur/local/images/city1day.png");
</style>You search and search, but nothing seems to be showing any sign of movement, just more buildings and roads - wait. Spare for a distant spot of bright red that grows ever larger... what could that be?
[[check it out->0checkout]]

</style>You take a few steps towards the bright red object which seems to be flying directly towards you, growing ever closer. You catch yourself wondering if this is a good idea. Hold on.. are those things eyes?
[[whatever, keep going->0keepgoing]]

</style>Definitely eyes. A lot of them. Might as well be an animal, if there wasn't something... decidedly off-putting about it. But your curiosity is piqued, so you won't back away now. It stops in front of you, its multocular gaze firmly fixed on you. There's only one more thing to do now.
[[touch it->0touch]]

</style>You decide that whatever this thing is, it's too risky to engage with just yet. You've only just woken up in an unfamiliar enviroment so maybe hiding away someplace out of sight to figure things out would be a good option. The monster disappears behind one of the buildings further back.

</style>You hastily make a dive behind the thing, sit down and bury your head in your hands. Considering your options, the best way to go from here would be to seek out help, but where to start? Does anyone even live here?
A shadow falls over your face. Well, that answers the question.

Since there's no building that looks particularly inviting, you decide to simply dash to the one closest to you. Locked. You check the one next to it, but its door won't budge either. The red creature has disappeared from view, luckily.

(set: $fight to 0)Wildly flailing your arms and stomping on the colorless concrete for several minutes without any music, you are a truly amazing spectacle to behold. Or would be, if you had an audience right now. You should probably go look what this place is all about before you resume your silly antics.

</style>You've barely moved your hand, but that's enough for the creature to react immediately. In a quick motion, it completely envelops your body. Everything is red. Your world has become one color, it stretches towards the horizon and to vast depths below your feet. You feel strangely serene.

A loud scream pierces your eardrums.
