The Quest for Things and Stuff

You pull up to the bank. Peering over your shades, you look in through the glass windows. It's fairly well populated, but the number of armed guards is slim. If there was a time to change your mind, it is now. [[Turn back, don't go through with it]] [[Open the car door]]

You slide your sick shades back up your nose, and start the car back up. Driving off, you wonder what could have been, but perhaps this is for the best. [[==>->Start a new Life]]

You open the car door, and walk up to the door of the bank. In your right pocket, is a Glock. You could [[take it out now]] or [[wait]] 'til you're inside.

You turn away from your life of crime, and decide to start a new life in a foreign country. Where shall you go? The foreign nation of [[Blastovich]]. The [[Martian Colony of Mern]]. [[Brazil]]

You draw the gun from your pocket (set:$armed to true), and march through the door. Immediately, one of the tellers spots your entrance and makes a secretive motion under his desk. (set:$cops to "alerted") [[Abscond]]. [[Shoot him]] [[Yell]], telling everyone to get on the ground.

You walk into the bank. Many customers are lined up in front of the sole teller. [[Draw your gun]]. [[Get in line]].

You panic, dropping the gun and fleeing back to the car. (set:$armed to false) In the distance, you hear a police siren. What response time! [[Get in the car]]. [[Run down the street]]. [[Go back inside]], for some reason.

You point your gun towards the teller, and fire two shots into his chest. (set:$teller to "dead") The customers scream. [[Abscond]]. [[Yell]], telling everyone to get on the ground.

You point your gun to the ceiling, firing a warning shot, and yell for the customers to get to the ground. (if:$teller is not "dead")[The teller puts his hands up.] [[Abscond]] (if:$teller is not "dead")[[Walk up to the Teller]](if:$teller is "dead")[[Go behind the counter]]

You hop in the car.(if:$cops is "alerted")[The sirens are getting closer.] Where shall you go? [[The Safehouse]] [[The Police Station]] [[The Airport]] [[Get out of the car]]

You run down the street, instead of taking your conveniently placed car.

You go back in. The customers move past you, as they try to flee the scene. (if:$armed is false)[Your gun is on the ground. You can [[pick it up]]. ] [[Go back outside]] (if:$teller is not "dead")[[Walk up to the Teller]]

You pick your gun back up. (set:$armed to true) It's only slightly scratched. [[Go back outside]] (if:$teller is not "dead")[[Walk up to the Teller]]

You step outside.(if:$cops is "alerted")[In the distance, you hear a police siren. It's getting closer!] [[Get in the car]] [[Run down the street]] [[Go back inside]]

(if:$armed is true)["Listen, don't do anything rash. I'll get you what you want, just don't hurt anyone, please!"](if:$armed is false)["Listen, don't do anything rash. I'll get you what you want, just don't hurt anyone, please!"] [[Give me all the cash!]]

You draw your gun. (set:$armed to true) In the quick moment before the people around realize what's happening, what do you do? [[Shoot the teller->Shoot him]] [[Fire into the air->Yell]]

Inconspicuously, you get in line. [[Wait for your turn]]. [[Draw your gun]].

Patiently, you wait for your turn. The seconds turn to minutes, and the line gets gradually shorter. Some need a simple withdrawal, others open a brand new account. [[Draw your gun]]. [[Continue waiting]].

You check your watch. You count the number of times the longest hand moves before it makes a full circle. You double check, just to be sure (it's 60). [[Continue to wait]] [[Draw your gun]]

You push aside the teller's corpse and root around in the register for the money. (if:$moneyTaken is not true)[There's quite a lot. (set:$money to $money + 5000)](else:)[It looks like he already gave you everything.] [[Flee the scene]]

Finally, your turn has come. "Hi there, how can I help you today?" [[Draw your gun]] [[Open an account]] [[Say->Intimidate]], "This is a robbery, give me everything you have!"

"I'd like to open an account." you say. "Sure thing, I just have some forms for you to fill out. Do you have some sort of identification on you today? A driver's license, or another Federal-issued ID?" You do, but you are also a [[known criminal]]. It would be a bad idea. Why are you opening an account in the first place? [[Draw your gun]] [[Show your ID]] [[Say->Intimidate]], "This is a robbery, give me everything you have!"

Immediately, the teller makes a secretive motion under his desk. (set:$cops to "alerted") "Excuse me, what did you say?" [[Draw your gun]] [[Laugh it off]]

You are known internationally for pulling off the heist of the century, back in 2001. After many years in hiding from your deeds, you have run out of money, and need some extra capital. So, you have returned once again to crime. (Go back)

This is probably a bad idea... You take your wallet out of your pocket, and pull out your driver's license. It's expired, but you're more concerned with your internationally known name. You hand it over to the teller, (set:$haveID to false)and take the paperwork in return. [[==>->Fill out the paperwork]]

"I'm only joking with you," you say, giving a hearty laugh. "That's... a terrible joke..." You notice the teller make another secretive motion under his desk. (set:$cops to "annoyed") [[Draw your gun]] [[Open an account]] [[Say->Intimidate]], "But seriously though, this is a robbery."

You grab a pen, and start filling out the forms, praying the teller doesn't know your name. (input-box: bind $name, "=X==", 1, "Name") Continue (click: "Continue")[You write your name on the form, taking another secretive glance up at the teller. He appears unalarmed. [[Finishing filling out the form]] ]

You fill in the remaining boxes, such as your date of birth and your Social Security. You hand the completed form over to the teller. He hands you back your ID(set:$hasID to true), and says "Alright, let me process these real quick." [[Draw your gun]] [[Wait]]

You wait. Looking around, you see the other people in line. They look impatient, but understanding. The gun sits heavy in your inner jacket pocket. [[Draw your gun]] [[Turn back to the teller]]

"Well $name, it looks like you're all set. Do you want to make an initial deposit?" (set:$openedAnAccount to true) [[Yes->make a deposit]] [[No->don't make a deposit]]

You open up your wallet again, and take out a couple 20s. "This is fine." "Great, I'll put this in." He puts it in the register, and prints a deposit ticket for you. (set:$bankAccount to 60)(set:$money to $money - 60) "Have a good day!" [[Get out of line]].

"Another time, perhaps." "That's okay, on your own time. Have a good day." (set:$bankAccount to 0) [[Get out of line]].

Well, that was interesting. Somehow, you did that without blowing your cover. Now, back to business... [[Draw your gun]] [[Leave]]

Maybe you don't want to rob this bank. The teller seemed nice... You go back through the glass doors, and you stand on the sidewalk. [[Get in the car]] [[Walk down the street]]

You take a stroll down the road. There are many shops and stores lining the roads. Cars go rushing by. The gun sits heavy in your inner jacket pocket. Go into the [[Candy Store]] Go into the [[Cafe]] Go back up the road to the [[Bank]]

"Okay, just don't do anything rash." He pulls all the money out of the register, and hands it to you. It's quite a bit of money. (set:$money to $money + 5000) (set:$moneyTaken to true) [[Shoot him]] [[Flee the scene]]

You walk past the many shops and stores, and your eyes settle on the candy store. Looks like a family is in there with their kids, picking out some new sweets and snacks. You go inside. The mother looks at you slightly oddly, perhaps because of your disheveled appearance not befit of a candy-store-goer. The gun weighs heavily in your inner jacket pocket.
