Choose Your Own Adventure [Part 24]

Hey guys,

Weekend was crazy. I wanted to do a lot more, but things kept getting in the way. First my mother, then family, and now my tooth.

Quick aside: I grew up super poor, and my crooked teeth were never corrected as a kid. Now, as an adult, I've gone in to have my problems fixed, but Invisa-lign isn't enough to straighten some teeth, so one will likely have to be removed. I'm super afraid of dentists (illogical, but still) and now I have to go in for surgery.

Monday is the appointment.

Wish me luck.

Also, more CYOA. I hope you guys are enjoying. More Master Arcanist will be up as soon as I'm done discussing it with writer's group.

New short story should be up tomorrow. <3

Part 24

“I’ll distract Pimma by talking to her,” you say.

Wyre nods, and places a hand on his injured wendigo. Before you head out to deal with Pimma, they both seem anxious, and Wyre actually holds out a hand.

“Thank you,” he whispers, though it’s quick, and you almost can’t hear it.

You continue over to the docks and smile as you approach Pimma. Although you aren’t hidden in your approach, the moment you get close, Pimma flinches back, her eyes wide. Then she softens and returns your smile, though her eyes are bloodshot, and her hands are gripped tight around a wine bottle.

“You scared the good spirit right out of me,” she says. Pimma then sighs, takes another swing of her drink, and then relaxes. “What’re you doin’ here? Shouldn’t you be at the Arcanist Festival? Or at the library?”

You mimic eldrin purrs slightly as he says, “I’m glad you asked, fellow island citizen. You see, we have a perfectly good explanation for being here. Totally average and well thought out, I assure you.”

Pimma slowly nods along with Twain’s words, but her gaze loses a bit of focus.

With a quick pat of his paw, Twain taps your cheek. “My arcanist, explain to the lady why we’re here.” He then adds with a whisper, “You got this.”

What do you do?

A) “Hello, fellow island citizen. I am here to inspect your… booze.”

B) “Pimma, I came here to get you. Everyone should celebrate at the festival.”

C) “Pimma, the guild arcanists want to question you. Come with me.”

D) “Pimma, it’s my turn to guard the boats. Go home.”

E) “I’m lost. How do I get to the beach?”

F) “I came to show you a trick. Watch this.” Dance around crazy like.

G) “There’s a guy trying to escape guild arcanists nearby. Help me catch him.”
