the-bathroomYou're in the bathroom, on your phone, endlessly scrolling through reddit. Posts fly by, but you're not really paying attention at this point. This isn't even enjoyable anymore. Eventually, you decide that you should probably get on with your life, so you instinctively reach out to your side to grab some toilet paper.
OH MY GOD. THERE'S NO TOILET PAPER. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO?!?
[[SCREAM->scream]]You scream at the very top of your lungs. This isn't helping your situation in the slightest, but it still feels nice to physically let out some frustration. The neighbors become concerned. After screaming for quite some time, you feel slightly better.
Back to the toilet paper fiasco. What should you do now, after you've screamed for a while?
[[Calm down.->calm down]]
[[SCREAM SOME MORE->scream more]]
Despite the room still resonating with with the sound of your screeching voice, you decide that you still haven't screamed enough. You scream even more, and louder than before. You power all your energy into creating one of, if not the loudest noises heard on planet earth. The neighbors grow increasingly worried.
What do you do now?
[[Calm down.->calm down]]
[[SCREAM EVEN MORE->scream even more]]You take a deep breath in and then exhale slowly. You feel better after screaming for quite some time, and you feel ready to make a proper, clear-minded decision.
What do you do now?
[[Check the cabinets for toilet paper.->check the cabinets]]
[[Call out for help.->call for help]]
[[Take a shower.->take a shower]]Even after you've spent the last couple of minutes screaming, you still haven't satified your need for eternal noise. And so, you scream. Somehow, even louder than before. Scientists across the globe pick up on a sonic abnormality localized entirely within one neighborhood. Your vocal cords begin to ache. The neighbors question if they should call the cops.
Enough screaming, there's only one choice now.

[[SCREAM EVEN MORE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE->reee]]You get up and try to walk over to the cabinets, but the underwear wrapped around your ankles prevents you from walking like a normal human being. So, you perform an odd mixture of penguin walking and crouched waddling in order to arrive at your destination: the cabinets.
You open one of them up. It contains no toilet paper. However, there remains hope! You have many cabinets — six, to be precise.
There seems to be only one choice.
[[Continue on to the next cabinet!->check the second cabinet]]You yell for help. You shout out that you need toilet paper and that you're stuck in the bathroom, hopeless and helpless. After waiting a moment or two, you remember that you've been living alone for the past couple of months. Living alone is rough, but the job offer was just too good to pass up. Your neighbors probably wouldn't be much use either, you think to yourself. If only you would've known that if you had kept on screaming, they might've called in for a noise disturbance. Oh well.
What do you do now?
[[Check the cabinets.->check the cabinets]]
[[Take a shower.->take a shower]]You waddle over to the next cabinet. This one also contains no toilet paper. There is still hope though. Four cabinets remain.
Because of your determination, there seems to be only one choice.
[[Continue on to the next cabinet.->check the third cabinet]]After waddling over to the next cabinet, you are disappointed to discover that it too holds no toilet paper. Your determination begins to wear, but you must continue onwards.
There is only one choice.
[[Prevail onwards.->check the fourth cabinet]]The cycle continues. You waddle to the next cabinet, and lo and behold, your eyes inform you that there is no toilet paper to be found here. You know you must continue.
As usual, there seems to be only one choice.
[[Begrudgingly continue onwards.->check the fifth cabinet]]Waddling over to the fifth cabinet, you expect to find no toilet paper. But what? No! This can't be! This, of course would be your toilet paper cabinet! How could you have forgotten that you have an entire cabinet dedicated to storing (hoarding) toilet paper!? Neverminding your obvious mental misstep, you grab a roll and give it a quick embrace as you remember what it's like to lay your fingertips on the soft, felt-like paper.
However.. you do wonder. What <em>is</em> in that sixth cabinet? You've already gotten the toilet paper, there is no need to explore.. but there remains a flicker of curiosity in your heart.
You unexpectedly have two choices.
[[Retreat to your porcelain throne with your newly found cleaning companion.->retreat to the toilet]]
[[Curiously check the sixth, and last, cabinet.->check the sixth cabinet]]After a rollercoaster of emotions, you lay your buttocks down onto the now-cold porcelain seat. You slot the toilet paper roll into its rightful spot. Pulling down to unravel it, you reveal neatly-sized squares of toilet paper. After pulling two, no, four squares of bathroom tissue, you move your hand to the side in a swift motion, ripping the four squares from their origin.
You fold the four squares onto itself once, and then again. You place the origami of toilet paper into the center of your hand as you move your arm to the back of your body. After one swift motion, and a couple scrubbing motions, you feel ready to end your journey in the bathroom.
After standing up, you pull up your underwear, then your clothes, to fit snugly over your body. You take numerous steps towards the door, and eventually reach your destination. It is finished. You are done.
# THE BORING ENDING
[[Try again?->start]]
Your curiosity cannot be truly satisfied without looking for yourself. With your underwear still around your ankles constricting your movement capabilities, you waddle over to the sixth cabinet. Clasping firmly onto the handle, you slowly open the door to reveal..
<em><b>OH WOW.. THAT'S A LARGE..</b></em>
..
<b>FIR TREE!?</b>
Yes, indeed my good chap. It seems like you've found an entire fir tree inside of a bathroom cabinet! Not only is there a fir tree, but there's also an entire environmental ecosystem completely localized within your bathroom. Seemingly against the usual constraints of the physical realm which you inhabit, the cabinet leads to a room which seems to be larger than the bathroom itself.

[[.. or you can calm down.->calm down]][[aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaAAAaaAAAAaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa->reeeee]]
[[.. or you can calm down.->calm down]]You decide that instead of using toilet paper, you'll head straight for the shower to clean off. You eat a lot of fibre, so it's not like there's much to clean off anyway. Flushing the toilet seat, you stand up, toss your clothes in the hamper, and retrieve a bath towel. As you throw the towel over the shower curtain, you turn on the shower's water and adjust the temperature so that it'd be the perfect, cozy temperature.
Waiting a moment or two for the water to warm, your mind wanders and thinks about what could've happened if you had checked the cabinets. What mysteries and secrets could they have held? Nevermind that, the water is warm enough now, and you hop in. After a few cycles of rinsing and washing, you snatch the towel and dry yourself off.
After a quick yet relaxing shower, you feel clean enough to conquer whatever comes next. You grab some new clothes from your room. Putting those on, you feel accomplished. You've done it; you've survived a trip to the bathroom.
# THE ACCOMPLISHED ENDING
[[Try again?->start]]You attempt to climb through the bathroom cabinet, but your underwear inhibits your movement too much, so you decide to leave it behind. Now fully in the nude, you leap through the medium-sized bathroom cabinet with ease.
You enter a room with a large fir tree located smack-dab in the center. The top of the room is closed off with vines hanging from the moss-covered ceiling. You can't help but feel a slight bit claustrophobic given the fact that you're situated entirely within a bathroom cabinet. Delicate, white flowers decorate the grass around the tree. You step onto the mossy turf barefoot, and it feels like a plush fabric intricately crafted by years of floral growth uninhibited by mankind.
Off to the left corner of the spherical, dark room, you spot a coconut tree. Under and adjecent to the tree, you see a stand with a sign advertising fresh coconut milk. There seems to be no one manning the station at this moment.
A couple of white and yellow butterflies gently glide around the mystical, enclosed space. Strangely enough, your allergies seem to be at bay despite the floating, pollen-like particles filling up the room.
