You wake up in a dark room. There is a door to your left, a door to your right, and a chest.
There's also a large man, in a cloak. "Who goes there??" He asks
You say:
"Oh shit I couldn't tell, it's so dark and cinematic in here" he replies. He offers up a chalice.
"I'm Tim, you must be the player character. Wanna drink some magic juice?" he asks.
"Damn boy you are thirsty lol" says Tim, laughing out loud. "Turn that cup over for a surprise"
You turn it over and notice the base has three buttons that let you choose the magic power you get.
Tim says "You just press the button. You don't yell the power out loud." He sounds disappointed.
You respond:
There is another door to the left labeled KEEP OUT.
Tim de-spawns in front of you. He is gone.
10 feet ahead of you, a goblin with a spear jabs at the air angrily. "Who the fuck opened the door that says KEEP OUT??"
You remember that you are still invisible.
You reply
The goblin spends the rest of his life questioning his sanity and drinking a lot (and goblins live a thousand years so it's even more fucked up)
At the end of the hall you find two doors, one green, one red.
Your invisibility turns off because you ran out of mana I guess
Paths to the left and right, a rope drops into a pit.
Your health is now low, and what's worse, unmistakable boss fight music starts to play!
The rope falls down behind you.
There is thick fog ahead of you.
You are about to do more crying when an apparition appears. It's Tim! He floats in front of you.
"It's me, Tim Cruise"
"I knew it was you, but I didn't know your whole name."
"Yeah. Sorry to interrupt the crying."
You reply:
"Wow that sucks" says Tim. He pulls out a potion. "Perhaps this health potion will help your shitty leaky eyeballs".
He hands it to you and you drink it, restoring your HP.
You say:
"The boss is a big dragon, you have to hit him with your sword a bunch. Also your armor level is zero, let's get you fixed up"
Tim removes his cloak and underwear and puts them on you.
Tim quietly says "btw it's OK to cry sometimes" and flies away.
The boss fight music grows ever louder, and now there's some cool drums intermixed too. You must be getting close.
You start to think about your life, in particular the time you
Tim Cruise, your only friend. Is he up there watching over you? Is he dead? Who knows?
You exit the fog and see a dragon, asleep.
"WHO DARES AWAKE THE FINAL BOSS DRAGON?" he bellows. The music is really cool now
"You're a bigass dragon, and I'm a guy with a sword soooooooo"
You shrug. The dragon considers what you've said, and eventually agrees that this all makes sense. He lunges toward you and bites off your left arm.
Suddenly Tim appears.
"Watch out, he's got an eye infection"
The dragon stares blankly. "the fuck did you say"
You reply
"I'm manly man who never cries but my eyeballs are sick and gross, and highly contagious. They are full of pus that looks like tears but it's not tears because I have never cried before"
The dragon lurches back, then turns and starts to flee.
"AW FUCK EWW GROSS NOO" yells the dragon, as it begins to run. But its feet are tied up!
"Aw SHIT fuck my ass" yells the majestic beast as it trips and falls on your moldy sword, stabbing itself through the heart. You have won.
You
"Those we're all pretty badass things to say" Tim interjects "but maybe choose one and workshop it. I can help, I'm good at dialogue now"
Which catchphrase do you workshop?

Bad ballot design led to a lot of undervotes for Bill Nelson in Broward Co., possibly even enough to cost him his Senate seat. They do appear to be real undervotes, though, instead of tabulation errors. He doesn't really seem to have a path to victory. https://t.co/utUhY2KTaR
