Welcome to Smallsville. You're a 19 year old college student going to the nearby college, Smallville University, which is in the middle of nowhere. The town is sorrounded by forests so there's not much to do besides wander around outdoors and relax.
What is your name?

(set: $cappronoun2 to "She")
(set: $pronoun3 to "her")
(set: $cappronoun3 to "Her")
(set: $pronoun4 to "herself")
(set: $cappronoun4 to "Herself")You run over to see someone hunched over, hiding by a tree and looking incredibly frightened. You approach $pronoun3.
"My name is $friend, please help me!"
There's a loud crunch behind you. You turn around and see a giant grizzly bear walking towards you.
[[Save yourself!->Run]]
[[Protect $friend!->Scare]](set: $like to $like - 1)
You run away from the bear and $friend, saving yourself. After you make it a good distance away, you hide behind a tree and watch. The bear approaches $friend, but sensing no harm it does not seem aggerssive. As $pronoun2 hides against the tree, the bear takes one more look before wandering off.
[[Talk to $friend->After Run]](set: $like to $like + 1)
You raise your arms up and yell as loud as you can, hoping it scares the bear. It may not look very impressive or scary, but seems to do the trick as the bear makes a disatisfied grunt and walks away.
[[Talk to $friend->After Scare]]Thanks for playing, $name! Play again if you'd like to see all endings!
[[Retry->Introduction]] Awesome, let's get started!

(set: $cappronoun4 to "Himself")$friend stares at you, visibly upset.
$friend: "Why would you run away? I was so scared."
You look down and refuse to answer.
$friend: "Can you help me get out of these woods? I thought it would be nice to hike alone, but now I'm lost."
[[You: Yes, follow me.->Leave the Woods]]$friend stares at you, a smile on $pronoun face.
$friend: "Thank you for that, I was so scared."
You smile back.
$friend: "Can you help me get out of these woods? I thought it would be nice to hike alone, but now I'm lost."
[[You: Yes, follow me.->Leave the Woods]]As you look around, you find yourself lost since you wandered off trail.
You: "I'm lost."
$friend: "What do you mean you're lost? I don't know where we are either!"
You: "Okay, okay. Let's try finding the trail back home, we're about a half hours hike away so we should be okay."
$friend: "Okay, so how can we find the trail back home? I don't remember which way it was back to the trail."
You don't either. What do you want to do?
[[Climb a tree and try and find the trail->Tree]]
[[Guess->Which way]]You're wandering through the woods, on your daily hike. You hear a loud noise coming from within the forest and what sounds like a scream.
[[Check it out->Investigate]]You: "I'll climb this tree and see if I can find the way back."
$friend: "Okay, make sure to be careful!"
You make your way up the tree, as high as you can go without breaking any branches. You see a winding path to the left of the tree.
You climb down from the tree.
[[Continue->Which way]] $friend: "Which way should we go?"
[[The path is to the left of the tree, we should go that way->Left]]
[[The path is to the right of the tree, we should go that way->Right]](set: $like to $like + 1)
You and $friend walk to the left, things look somewhat recognizable.
$friend: "This looks familiar! I think we're heading in the right direction!"
$friend runs ahead and you hear a cry of glee.
$friend: "I found the path! We can go home now!"
As you catch up you find yourself on the path back home, the sun is shining and it looks like a nice day.
[[You: "Okay, let's go home!"->Home]]
(if: $like >= 1)[[[You: "It's a beautiful day, why not finish the trail?"->Continue Hike]]]You and $friend walk to the right. Nothing looks familiar.
$friend: "Do you know where we are going? I don't recognize this at all."
The both of you continue moving through the woods, nothing looks recognizable but the forest is very pretty so it isn't too bad.
[[Ask $friend about $pronoun4->About Friend]]
[[Hike in Silence->Right End]]
(set: $like to $like - 1)
(set: $right to $right + 1)Together, you and $friend chat as you make your way home. Time flies by and you find yourself at the edge of town.
$friend: "I had a fun time, $name. I hope I'll be able to see you again sometime!"
You smile and wave as $pronoun2 heads home.
[[Continue]]$friend smiles and nods $pronoun head.
You smile back and walk together with $friend, away from Smallville.
[[Ask $friend about $pronoun4->About Friend]]
[[Hike in Silence->Waterfall]](set: $like to $like + 1)
You: "So, why are you here in Smallville?"
$friend: "I am here as a freshman for Smallville University. I just arrived last week and I don't have any friends, so I decided to hike alone to pass the time."
You: "I'm a freshman there as well! Why'd you decide to come here? I was born here, but I don't recognize you from the people in the town."
$friend: "I come from Bigtown, it's about two hours from here. I liked the city when I was young, but as I lived there everyone seemed so bored. All anybody cared about was working and money, I needed to get away."
$friend has a sad look in $pronoun eyes.
(if: $right is 0)[[[You: "Do you hear that?"->Waterfall]]]
(if: $right is 1)[[[Continue->Right End]]]Finally, after some time, you come across the path home. It is a little farther out, but everything looks familiar.
$friend looks at you and smiles.
$friend: "It looks like we've found the path, we can go home now!"
[[You: "Okay, let's go home!"->Home]]
(if: $like >= 1)[[[You: "It's a beautiful day, why not finish the trail?"->PreWaterfall]]]Off to the side of the trail is a massive waterfall. $friend runs over and stares in amazement. You both stand there staring at the waterfall.
[[Stand in Silence->Good Ending]]
(if: $like is 3)[[[Ask for something more->Best Ending]]]As you both walk up the trail, you forget how long you've been hiking as the both of you talk. Suddenly, $friend gasps.
[[You: "What's wrong?"->Waterfall]]After some time passes staring at the waterfall, you both turn back to the path.
$friend: "It's getting late, let's head back."
[[Continue->Home]]As you sit there in silence, you muster up your courage and clear your throat. $friend looks at you.
You: "You mentioned that you're new to Smallville and don't have any friends. I would love to be your friend, if not something more."
$friend smiles.
$friend: "I would love that."
Together, hand in hand, you both turn around and head home.
