Another CYOA (Choose your own adventure) for my fellow Hexbears.

Pick one option.

I probably would choose the Diner. Since free and good food sounds amazing.

I'm moving into the Loft. If the magical door is always four left turns away, then it should be there even if I travel across the country, right? Traveling all around and always having my house nearby sounds pretty cool.

Holy shit, you're right. Also being able to move without actually needing to save for deposit and rent. Like, you could do trial runs of living in different cities / states. Also harder for a country to tell you've illegally moved there. I choose this one too, as long as my cat is able to stay in the loft when my partner or I aren't there.

Free rent without my parents would be a dream.

The loft :3

Bunch of nerds here not figuring out how to metagame the system. Choose the shop, purchase a couple of new phones "free of charge" every week, sell em on Facebook marketplace, use the $5000 a month you're making to live the rest of your life on easy street.

Also, hotel and loft are pretty much the same. I guess the hotel has other people in it and cleans itself but that's a minor difference.

"purchase" a small armory, use it to arm a guerilla army, but yknow 'within reason' no SAM emplacements

and it will be all plasma rifles and techno-magical disintegration beam wands and other extradimensional awesomeness.

imagine what hamas-red-triangle but with a 2 gigajoule plasma caster from Universe-853

I love these, they're always a good pastime.

I choose the library. I'd have to tie a length of string at the entrance in an attempt to keep my bearings.

hmu with that delicious forest fruit and comfy naps on beds of soft soft moss

The Diner, Library, or Forest.

I think I'd pick Forest just to have a place to think without having to worry about losing time. Like if I really need to be alone and have restful sleep and delicious food, I can't beat that.

If I'm having a bad day or just want more sleep, I can find some fruit, read a book and return when I'm ready.

The Diner is cool because good food again and just meeting people. It would be cool to just watch the day go by while enjoying free food in a secluded booth. Or I sit at the counter and chat with people.

I like knowing things and the library seems cool. I just wish I had infinite time to enjoy it. I would procrastinate returning so hard if I find a good book.

Final decision - Forest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The forest because it's good for-rest lmao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly, yeah.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Forests, since that's my go-to irl. I will say that as a former second-shifter and insomniac the 24 hour diner has been a touchstone in my life time and time again.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The Forest for sure, assuming that magical deep rest works even on my ME/CFS. Can't do any of the others without my health anyway

If I wasn't sick, though, I'd pick the shop. For stress relief sometimes I enjoy making massive wishlists of items I never actually buy, and this is like the upgraded version of that. Just seems like it'd be fun to wander and marvel and gather and choose... Plus it's the one that is most likely to be helpful to your outside life and other people you care about.

dinerchads, where you at??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Library and Hotel supremacy

all yalls lofts are gonna be lonely, imma be pals with hotel people. same consideration makes the diner desirable but it's probably better to have access to a bed unless the diner is fine with drunken crashing in booths

Loft me

No rent would make life so much easier

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

When I was very little I had dreams of visiting a secret library with an elf librarian. I'd go Library if it wasn't for the fact that it requires me to bring my own food which means I have to leave to buy food which means I must work in order to have money to buy food which means it's not much different from my current situation if you consider the internet to be the Library in my pocket.

Hotel is the best. Especially if the rooms and food are free. Hopefully there are good restaurants and maybe a nice hotel jazz bar to hang out in, and if I ever want to be alone I can just go to a room. That honestly sounds magical.

The signs aren't written in English though, so good luck figuring it out.

Hahahaha monolingual Anglos btfo.

Anglo moment

The money I'm not spending on rent will allow me to bring a small turbine into the forest, then connect it to a waterwheel below my ewok loft. I will be up to some Myst tinkering. I need the time, food, and rest effects more than the internet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The library. (Unless that's where all the libs are.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The Forest.

Peaceful. Quiet. No people to bother me (great for Introverts). A place to get good sleep. Fresh locally sourced food. Perfect weather.

My kind of escape from this hell world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Forest. I die there, k bye!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The library. All I do in my free time is mostly just reading and solving math problems.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

anything but the Grand Hotel Abyss

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Forest everytime

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Are there other animals in the forest? If so I'm choosing that

An inter-dimensional hotel sounds pretty sweet for people watching and I do always yearn for a good hotel stay.
