Fun Friday Adventure Log (updated every Friday)

[Baphomini]

Hello, hello, and welcome! This is a fun little choice-based game I like to host now and then where the top comment sets the path. You can make any choice you like, provide any prompt that you deem worthy, the only goal is to keep the story going! Once a suggestion has been made, I will write the next part of the story. The catch? I only write on Friday... This is to give enough time for people to suggest choices and for those choices to be voted on. The suggestion with the most interest will be incorporated into the next addition to the tale.

So, gather round, take a seat, put your fingers to the keys, and let our story begin...

Rules

• Keep it civil
• Keep it clean
• No trolling
• Don't get butt-hurt if your choice isn't used
• Don't abuse the system!!

Round 1 ─ Our First Adventure

Episode 1 ─ Dawn Unfolding

{ press for sound }

Golden sunlight filters in through open windows with the rising of another day, a cool breeze wafting in with the sound of birdsong, bringing with it the scents of rain and pine. The air around you is cold and crisp, but the space under your blankets is warm and soft. Small creaks from around the cabin can be heard in chorus with the melodious chirps outside as the structure slowly settles under its own weight, but otherwise, the house is completely silent.

All is peaceful.

All is calm.

All is nothing...until...

{ press for sound }

The day officially begins...what now?

[Kronshi]

I would like to keep my pet snail, Shelly, that's on my bedroom bookshelf from eating that battery next to her. I knew I should have unpacked her terrarium from the box downstairs.

[Neziul]

I would like to eat a big breakfast for energy and then go out into the surroundings and do what I came out here to do. Start looking for Bigfoot.

Author's Notes

We're off to a rather slow start, I'm finding, but no worries, because I'm sure things will pick up over time as the story progresses. For now, I chose to incorporate a bit of both suggestions given so far, so as to fill out the story more. Enjoy the read, and don't forget to give your input to advance the plot!

R1:E1: Save that snail!

{ ♪ ♫ ♪ }

Ignoring your alarm as it continues to sound in an endless loop, you awkwardly slide to the end of your bed and shift to sit up on your knees. With a bit of a stretch, you manage to reach up and retrieve your pet snail, Shelly, from the top of the bookcase, pulling her away from the D battery you left sitting up there until you could find the other battery...and the flashlight it was intended for. Boy you were are disorganized with this move...

Never the matter, you gently take Shelly in your hands and sit back on the bed for a moment, giving the little snail the love and attention she enjoys. You're grateful that getting up on top of the bookshelf from where you had left her next to your phone the previous night is the worst of the trouble the little gastropod got into...at least...as far as you can tell. The last time you let Shelly roam free, you remember with a shudder, you had somehow woken up to a fire in the kitchen. That was not a pleasant morning. You had hoped that Shelly would stay put this time, but with this, you admitted that you really did know that you should have pulled out her terrarium before going to bed.

R1:E1: Eat a large breakfast

Such would have to wait a while longer, however, as you had work to do, and work could not be done without a proper breakfast to start the day!

Setting Shelly up on your shoulder--her usual place, despite how much it weirded others out about you--you slip the rest of the way off the bed, careful not to tip your already full hamper--yeah you should have done that laundry before packing--then make way across the room to the ladder, still ignoring your alarm as it continues to sing. Food was too important.

Down in the kitchen, with Shelly by your side, you quickly fix up a large breakfast of a massive omelet, plenty of turkey bacon, some fruit and berries, a chocolate protein shake, and, of course, some little "morsels" for Shelly. You set Shelly down in the second chair on top of a plate with her food, and settle down into your own seat with the food you prepared for yourself, and you begin eating, gaze fixed on the window across from you two as your mind begins to wander to the day ahead of you.

Your alarm continues to sound from above as you run over the list of things you'll need in your head. Your boots, for sure. A bottle of water and a pack with extra water too, obvious. Snacks, but nothing opened or it might attract something you don't want to encounter. Your camera, obviously--good thing you remembered to plug that in along with your phone. You would need tools, such as knives and a shovel...er...no need to go into specifics on the reason for that one. Rope might be handy. So many things, you hope you'll be able to carry it all...

R1:E1: Do what you came here to do.

Soon enough, you finish your meal, as does Shelly finish hers, and, returning the snail to her place as your moral angel, you quickly clean up the dishes and go to fix everything into a pack. With your phone still sounding, you take it off the charger, grab your bag, ensure Shelly is secure, and finally, finally set off on your quest. The very reason for moving to this cabin to begin with.

You set off in search of Big Foot.

[Zapdos]

Seeing a patch of fur on the ground, I hold it up to Shelly and ask her to track Bigfoot like a bloodhound. Her species is known for that, after all.

[Baphomini]

Author's Note

Little bit shorter addition this week because I got a late start and some errands relly burnt me out, but enjoy!!

R1:E1: We're going on a bear squatch hunt

{ ♪ ♫ ♪ }

As you leave the sight of your cabin behind you, your phone finally falls silent of its own accord, determining that you have missed the alarm and no amount of screaming at you will convince you to shut it off. Leisurely, you roam into the darkness of the woodland surrounding you, the late morning sun meaning little with the thick canopy of foliage above. A light fog still hangs in the air, swirling just above the ground and dancing with the fallen leaves and lichen that cover the forest floor in a sea of white. Your eyes scan through the flow mass as it moves, ebbing and flowing and breaking away to show rocks and twigs scattered among the dirt and grass. Here and there, you stop, pushing aside various bits of nature to take a closer look.

R1:E1: Hey what's that?

You soon come to a small pile of twigs and leaves, and quickly spot a clump of brown fur among the debris. The fur is coarse and matted together, the stench of it almost bringing your eyes to water. There is no doubt in your mind. Bigfoot was here.

You bring the fibers up to Shelly, allowing the slimy creature to take in the smell as her little antennae-like appendages poke and prod the follicles. Soon enough, Shelly gives a light trill of a whistle. She has the scent. Tucking the hairs away, you remove Shelly from your shoulder and set her down in the moist dirt.

With another trill, the gastropod takes off in an instant, speeding away and leaving behind and thick trail of mucus that shines in the dappling light of the sun breaking through the trees. Without much of a second thought, you take off after your slippery friend, sticking true to the gleaming path she's made.

[Kronshi]

The patch of fur was a dud. The hair actually belonged to a beaver and Shelly led us to it's dam, but the view of the river gives us an idea. Bigfoot is known for his love of dipping his toes in the water. Maybe of we grab our snorkeling set, we can try to get pics that will make us some money on less appropriate sites.

[Zapdos]

Shelly leads you to the front door of an ornate-loiking mansion. Seeing a doorbell, you do the polite thing and ring it.
