_____ in Wonderland

(set: $name to (prompt: "What is your name?", "name")) $name, is walking through their neighborhood, admiring their beautiful lush neighborhood garden when they notice something odd. There is a hole in the ground, almost large enough for a teenager to fit through. They go closer, the mysteriousness of the hole reeling them in. [[$name goes inside the hole.->inside hole]] [[$name walks away and goes straight home.->go home]]

"Ugh, this hole is so dirty!", they say as dirt goes on their cheek as they crawl through the hole. They stop talking as soon as they realize this hole goes deeper then they thought. "Should I keep going $name, thinks to themself?". [[Keep going until you reach the other side.->keep going]] [[Turn around and go home.-> go home]]

The End.

"I might as well see it through, how far could this go?", $name thinks to themself. They continue crawling through for another minute, growing tired. Finally $name sees a light at the end of the hole, or rather tunnel. Excited about reaching the end, $name crawls faster, only to drop at the end of the tunnel. $name looks around at their surroundings. "What is this place?", they ask themself. $name is surrounded by lush gardens and greenery, making her neighborhood garden look mundane. Flowers from all colors of the rainbow surround them. Far far away, a green shimmering castle can be seen. Two paths stand in front of $name, both beckoning $name to come closer and explore the path. There is a blue and a green path. $name looks around to see if there are any other paths. To their surprise, there are no more paths and only these paths lead outside of the hole and to the castle. [[Take the green path.->green path]] [[Take the blue path.->blue path]]

$name turns around, tired of the dirt surrounding them. They crawl out of the hole, back in the garden, and speed walk home, not wanting their parents to find the dirt on their clothes. They reach home and silently walk in undetected. Mission accomplished. The End.

(text-colour:#19e619)[$name walks onto the path, astonished by the details on each green brick that makes up the path. Minutes pass and the castle doesn't seem to be growing closer, but instead $name's hunger instead. They look around at the beautiful vibrant greenery and trees, yet see no food source. They turn back, facing front on the path once again, now only the path is blocked by a entangled vines and trees winding in every posssible direction.] [[Go through the forest to the castle.->progress]] [[Turn around and go home.->run away]]

(text-colour:#99e9f2)[$name walks onto the path, astonished by the details on each blue brick that makes up the path. Minutes pass and the castle doesn't seem to be growing closer, but instead $name's hunger instead. They look around at the beautiful vibrant greenery and trees, yet see no food source. They turn back, facing front on the path once again, now only the path is blocked by a table, and a woman sitting behind it.] [[Go and sit with the woman.->go willingly]] [[Walk around the woman with the table.->walk around]]

You look around once more, a sudden fog impairing your view of the world around you. You turn, a direct path in the fog to the table with a chair now in front of it. You slowly, cautiously, walk toward it, pull out the chair and sit down. "Well, hello $name." the woman says calmly. "I've been waiting for you.". "How do you know my name?" you say cautiously. "I know everything, including what is going to happen to you, for I am a witch." the woman replies with a yawn, as if she is bored. "You want to go to the castle, don't you dear?" the woman says. "Yes, desperately." you respond. "I can make that happen right now." she says as she pulls out a small candy from her pocket. "All you have to do is eat this and you will be at the castle.". //IWhat in the world is going on?//, $name thinks to themself. "How do I know I can trust you?" $name responds.". "Well, I know almost everything about you dear, and why would I have any reason to hurt you? You are a guest in our beloved Emereld Kingdom after all." the woman responds. [[Take the candy and eat it.->at castle]] [[Refuse the candy.->transport home]]

You continue to walk, pretending as if you never saw the woman in the road. You feel a pair of eyes on you as you continue to walk, a chill coming over your body. You turn around, checking to see if the woman is still there. To your surprise, she is no longer behind you. You whip your head around and realize she and her table are both now directly in front of you. "You cannot avoid your fate, $name." the woman says with a silky voice. "Take a seat." she says as she gestures to the seat now in front of the table. [[Sit down in the seat.->go willingly]] [[Run as fast as you can.->run away]]

You whip around and run all the way back to where you first started on the path and find the hole still there. You quickly climb up the hole and reach the top within seconds. Panting and gasping, you turn to see if the hole is still there. To your surprise, the hole is gone, along with any evidence of it. The End.

Suddenly, the world around you spins and alll the colors blur. "I knew I shouldn't have eaten that candy." thought $name. All of the colors come to a still as $name is thrown back on the blue path but this time with something in front of them. They look up, and a castle, glittering green, shines down on them, colossal in it's size. "What in the world???" thinks $name to themself. A pair of doors, wooden and at least 10 feet high appears in front of $name, beckoning them to come closer and open them. [[Open the doors.->go inside castle]]

You push open the doors, putting all your strength in opening it, only for it to be incredibly easy to open. It opens slowly into a cavernous hallway with sky-high ceilings. Light flows in through massive stained glass windows, illuminating the entire length of the hallway. At the end of the hallway is a door, miniscule in size compared to the front door. [[Push open the doors->meet the kween]]

"No, I do not want it." you say as you push away the candy. "Fine, have it your way." says the witch with a menacing look. Suddenly, your whole world spins and colors blur. You feel your body lift, almost a airy feeling as you float away from the witch and back towards the whole. You close your eyes, terrified, and as sudden as it started, it ends. You are sitting outside the hole, the garden as still as ever. The End.

$name walks forward, steeling themself in preparation of the sharp thorns on the vines and the trees that seem to block all sun. Cautiously, they walk forward, attempting to clear the path with their arms becoming scratched in the process. A strange noise, almost a growl comes from their left side. $name whips their head around in search of the strange noise, hoping it isn't their worst fear, a lion. They look around them, not spotting anything but omnious nature that seems to murmur as $name walks deeper in the forest. The thick line of trees all around $name makes it difficult to see in front of them, but $name remembers that walking straight will take them to the castle. [[Continue.->Continue through forest]]

A low growl, this time sounding closer than before comes from the right side of $name. $name turns around slowly, almost certain that this time there is an actual lion beside them. As they turn, a pair of lion eyes catch their eye, looking as if it is closer as each millisecond passes. [[Run away towards the castle.->die]] [[Walk slowly away.->survive the lion]]

You look forward and run all the way to the end of the forest, or at least where you think the forest ends. You turn, making sure the lion isn't following you. You feel a soft brush against your leg, and instead of behind you, the lion is by your side, baring it's teeth at you, getting ready to pounce. The lion pounces at you and eats you. The End.

You slowly walk away towards the end of the forest, or at least where you think the forest ends. You slowly turn, checking if the lion is behind you and fortunately, it is not. Well, at least not directly behind you. "If I keep moving slow, it won't run towards me. I could never outrun the lion." you think to yourself. Moving steadily forward, you start to see rays of light come through the top of the trees and the green bricks reappearing. You turn around slowly and notice the lion is still slowly following you, picking up pace. Suddenly, you hear twigs cracking behind you and you turn, the lion being right on your heel. You yelp and run towards the end of the forest, only about 10 feet in front of you. You run as fast as you can, reaching the green brick path in seconds, only to turn to realize the lion cannot leave the forest, and is standing at the edge of the forest. Slowly it turns around, saving it's energy for another visitor of the forest. [[Continue->continue]]

Suddenly, the world around you spins and alll the colors blur. All of the colors come to a still as $name is thrown back on the green path but this time with something in front of them. They look up, and a castle, glittering green, shines down on them, colossal in it's size. "What in the world???" thinks $name to themself. A pair of doors, wooden and at least 10 feet high appears in front of $name, beckoning them to come closer and open them. [[Open the doors.->go inside castle]]

The door opens, leading into a throne room with chairs leading up to a ornate throne a podium. In the large room, dark red curtains are opened, allowing light to come inside. Sitting on the throne is a beautiful woman, wearing a deep blue ballgown and cloak. Atop her head sits a blue tiara, shining in the light. "Hello dear, what can I do for you?" says the woman. "Who are you? What is this place?" you respond in confusion. "This is my kingdom, and I am the queen. I have the power to grant wishes and build anything I want.". "Can you grant me any wish I want?", "I can do anything you want dear, what would you like?" the queen responds. (set: $wish to (prompt: "What is your wish?", "wish")) "You want $wish?" the queens responds confused, "Well, so be it!". "Once you arrive home dear, the wish will be complete. Eat this candy to go home." the queen extends her hand and walks toward you with a small chocolate in her hand. [[Eat the candy.->eat the candy]]

You slowly eat the candy, hesitant at first, but faster when you realize how delicious it is. You want nothing more than to go home, and lay in your bed, safe from whatever this is. Colors spin all around you as you are now standing in your room. $wish is complete says a voice. The End.
