"WTF IS THIS!?!" I heard my girlfriend Sonia scream from my bedroom. I Tale Spinner (T.S.) was bringing some chips before we started watching some videos on a larger computer monitor together, and I had forgotten to close the window to CYOC. Half thinking she wouldn't look, half thinking even if she did look it would just look like a random short story site unless she looked a little closer. Honestly I wasn't sure what I must've been smoking for me to think she wouldn't find out.
Walking back into my room I asked "What do you mean by this?"
Sonia said "The CYOC thing! This is some odd furry, child porn, and I'm not even sure what else fetish site isn't it?!?"
I said "I wouldn't call it child porn and i'm not par-"
Sonia glared and said "Oh ok then... Well since you were writing that... and that's your name... Let's figure out what you've in particular have been writing." As she went for a mouse a white light shined from your monitor and now you found each other in a white room. Sonia twirled her blond hair nervously and said "...I can see why you may like this site..."
You gave her a weird look and said "Ok, I may admit my tastes are a little weird... However you know I didn't buy any VR stuff, and you really should know this isn't what VR is!!!" At the last yelling the room gave a small echo. The room had several doors with numbers and names. some numbers were in the hundreds, some thousands. Muttering out loud "CYOTF... The Magic Shop... Ty's Power... New... Welp this is probably one of the worst designed menu's ever."
Sonia curiously asked "You know what those doors mean?"
You said "Well... maybe not, but the name's are familiar. You see CYOC has several story areas. Some are generic like CYOTF or Human which tend to have all sorts of stories, then there's Mad Science or The Magic Shop which are more of a specific genre, and then there are one's like Ty's Power or Transform or Dare which are specific stories whose beginning leave a lot of options and interpretations. If I had to guess if we pick one of the doors here we'd be brought either to the start of a story or another menu depending on which door we go through... or they all may be traps just waiting to change us in some weird way."
Sonia asked "So what specifically were Ty's Power and Transform or Dare about?"
You said "To abridge... Ty's Power is about an orphaned late bloomer with a bad foster family... and then Ty finds out he has magic powers that usually ends up being omnipotence. Transform or Dare on the other hand is about a cheerleader getting a call from a guy who doesn't like her and gets cursed. She has to answer Transform or Dare, if she answers Transform her body will change in some way and if Dare then she is forced to do anything including things that could defy logic... or she could get both if she doesn't answer in time."
Sonia said "Sounds dangerous... how do you think we get out?" Looking around there were only doors going to Stories.
You said "No idea... Could be possible the exit is in one of the Stories. So then let's go to the..."
