You nervously jump out of the shower and look in the mirror. You don't want to be late for your big job interview today with (text-colour:navy)[''Ocean Salvage Inc''].That's your dream job.
Better pick an outfit for today's important meeting:
[[Wrinkled T-shirt]]
[[Shirt and Tie]]
[[Tuxedo]]
[[Last year's Elvis Presley Halloween costume]]Uhm.... you read the part that this is your dream job right?
(link-undo:"Maybe pick again")A classic choice. Don't also forget to throw on some pants. Maybe some shoes.
There you go.
All ready?
[[Let's go!->The Interview]]
(link-undo:"Maybe Pick Again")I mean.... if you are going to go big, this sure is a way to do it.
Are you sure this is the outfit for you?
[[Elvis has left the building....for the interview->The Interview]]
(link-undo:"Maybe pick again")Wow wow wee wow! Taking dressed to impress to a whole new level. Definitely appropriate attire for your dream interview. (or penguin impressions)
Ready to go?
[[Let's Go!->The Interview]]
(link-undo:"Maybe Pick Again")You arrive at Ocean Salvage Inc.'s offices fifteen minutes early, like a great future employee would. After checking in at the front desk, you notice a museum showcasing their greatest discoveries.
Do you.....
[[Sit quietly in the waiting room?->Waiting]]
[[Make your way over to the displays?->The Museum]]You sit for the next fifteen minutes

(link:"Man, how has it not been 15 minutes yet?")[=
(link:"Maybe we will check out that museum")[=
[[You get out of your chair and stroll over to the displays->The Museum]]The glass cases are lined with treasures from your deepest imagination.
Atlantean gold coins
Conch shells
Whale skeletons
Amelia Earhart's remains
A mermaid skeleton
But what really catches your eye is:
[[A fragile looking glowing glass orb->The Orb]]
[[An equally fragile looking urn->The Urn]](b4r:"dotted","dotted","dotted","dashed")+(b4r-colour:navy)[The orb glows with a shimmery light. You feel drawn towards it]
(link:"Touch it")[=
(link:"No... I shouldn't")[=
(link:"Do it")[=
(link:"No... I must not")[=
(link:"Touch it.")[=
(link:"Well maybe just a one finger brush")[=
The next thing you know, you are holding the orb in both hands.
(link:"Throw it")[=
(link:"What?!?")[=
(link:"Throw it!")[=
Do you:
[[Throw it to the left?->Throw it left]]
[[Throw it to the right?->Throw it right]]
[[Spike it like a football?->Spike it]]You slowly stroke the side of the urn, which promptly shatters into dust.
Oh crap.
Do you:
[[Run?->The End]]
(link:"Own up to your mistake?")[=
You walk into the interview office and meet company CEO, Mr. Todd Scuba. He is so impressed with your forthcoming nature and honesty that he invites you to continue with [[the interview->The Interview Starts]]You hastily wind up like starting Blue Jays pitcher Robbie Ray and hurl the orb to the right, where it hits the wall and shatters.
(link:"Uhm....")[=
Security is closing in.
[[They ask you to leave. ->The End]]You pretend to be taking the snap like Tom Brady and chuck the orb as hard as you can to the left.
(link:"It soars through the air")[=
(link:"Floating delicately in the breeze")[=
(link:"Like an eagle in flight")[=
Where it is caught by Ocean Salvage Inc's CEO, Mr. Todd Scuba
He is so impressed by your cannon-like arm that he still invites you in for [[the interview.->The Interview Starts]]You spike the orb at your feet with all your strength.
A colourful mist explodes forth and swirls around you.
(link:"You feel dizzy")[=
(link:"So dizzy")[=
(link:"Now nauseous")[=
(link:"Now shame, you feel shame")[=
(link:"And dizzy")[=
(link:"........")[=
[[..........->Interview ]](link:"After leaving the building, you don't realize the calling of your dream job")[=
(text-colour:red)[''THE END'']Mr. Scuba starts by saying how impressed he is with your outfit choice.
(link:"\"Why do you want to work here?\" he asks.")[=
You reply:
[[It's my dream->Right Answer]]
[[I need the cash->Right Answer]]
[[None of your business ->Wrong answer]](link:"Mr. Scuba frowns and shuffles his paperwork.")[=
I think this interview is over. Please [[leave->The End]].(link:"\"That's the kind of answer I like to hear!\"")[=
(link:"\"Now, I am a very busy man, so this will be only a two question interview...\"")[=
"....When can you start?"
[[Today!->You're Hired]]
[[Next week.->Wrong answer]]
[[Next month.->Wrong answer]] "Amazing!"
(text-colour:red)["YOU ARE HIRED!"]
(link:"You can hardly believe your luck. All those smart choices today paid off")[=
You eagerly jump to your feet and shake Mr. Scuba's hand.
(link:"\"Besides\", he says, \"We've been looking for a new person since the last guy died on his first day\"")[=
(link:"WHAT?!")[=
(text-colour:red)[THE END]
