[[Some More Information about Succession]]
[[Let's Get Started]] "Your final score will be determind by how succesful you will become. How succesful you become depends on you and the choices you make at work, with your friends, and with yourself."

[[Let's Get Started]] "When you arrive at work, you will be given the daily option to either work normally, work a little harder, work with all your energy, or barely try at all. But be careful. Work too hard for too long and you might see your mental health begin to diminish. You'll have to take care of yourself for a bit. Working regulary with good results daily might lead to a promotion one day, who knows?"
[[What do you mean with friends?]]
[[What do you mean with yourself?]]
[[Let's Get Started]] "Your friends will reach out to you every now and then. Depending on if you respond or not will impact your relationship. But proceed with caution. Responding everytime might seem appealing, but if your respondes repeat too many times, your friends might be a little annyoed. But who cares? Who needs friends when you're at the top, right? Right?
[[What do you mean at work?]]
[[What do you mean with yourself?]]
[[Let's Get Started]] "No pain, no gain, right? Wrong. Well atleast in my game. Take care of yourself. Working too hard, toxic relationships, isolation, can all have an impact on your mental health, and maybe eventually on your physical health.

[[How do I Prevent This?]] "The devil is in the details. Doing little things throughout the day that can give you some strYou drive into your building's parking lot. Your car (either: "rumbles into spot number 6328", "glides smoothly into spot number 6328", "scares the living soul out of you as it **barely** makes itself into spot 6328.")
(click: "building's")
["We made it boys." You say to yourself when your car finally settles down.]
[[Get out of your car]]
[[Just sit for a second.]]You get out of your car and notice how damp the parking lot feels. You walk to the rear of your car and open it. A colossal mess greets you, and you instantly feel overwhelemed.
[[Try to take a few to your apartment]]
[[Just go up]]
You sit in the silence of your car for a while. You have coins filling in the cup holder and a trunk full of boxes with nothing in particular. You then notice the glove compartment, and realize you can't remeber the last time you attempted to get into it.
[[Try to get into the glove compartment]]
[[Get out of your car]] You try the pry open the glove compartment. No luck.
[[Just sit for a second.]]
[[Get out of your car]] You somehow manage to pull off a world class balancing act and end up being able to get three boxes stacked on top of each other with your bag right on top. You **very carefully** walk over to the elevator.
[[Click the button with your foot]]
[[Click the button with your hip]]
You walk over to the elevator and notice a dripping sound within the parking lot. Drip. Drip. Drip. The sound nearly drives you insane, and you've only been standing here for a couple seconds. So you decide to have 'a little fun'.
[[Click the button with your foot]]
[[Click the button with your hip]]
You steady your right foot as you quickly **bap** the elevator button with your foot. It manages to sucessfully call the elevator, but you stumble a little on the return. Consider your confindence shaken.
[[Go Upstairs]]You turn to the side and **bap** the button with your hip. But you **BAP** it a little too hard. Consider your confindence shaken.
[[Go Upstairs]] Elevator doors open up on floor number 3, and you get off. You try to remeber what the landlord's instructions were.
[[Try]]
[[Try very hard]]Your **ok** effort ends in a fruitless result. Boohoo.
[[Try very hard]]
[[Yo lo swag]]"Once you get out of the elevator, the numbers will either ascend or descend. You are apartment 6328, so you are an ascending number. Whichever direction that is in, go that way."
Well that wasn't very helpful.
[[Find your apartment.]]You decide to follow your suprior instintics and (either: "go to the left", "go to the right").
[[Keep following your instintics]]
[[Try very hard]] Oops, your instintics were wrong. Better luck next time.
[[Try very hard]] After a shameful amount of time wandering around the hallway of your floor, you finally find your apartment, which was at the end of the hallway.
[[Walk in normally]]
[[Walk in like the FBI]]You unlock the door and bask in the knowledge that you are now a homeowner. Sort of.
[[Plop down on the couch]]
[[Unpack a little]]
[[Call Mom]] You bang the door open and realize you forgot to unlock the door before you wanted to be an F.B.I agent, and your foot pays the price. You will now walk with a limp for a little bit. Congrats.
[[Walk in normally]] You decide to enjoy the couch your mother lent you until you buy your own. You feel a bit guilty because majority of your furniture is your mother's. But everyone starts somewhere. And where will you start, (print: $name)?
[[Unpack a little]]
[[Keep lounging]]Y-Move did a //fine// job bringing up your boxes for you. But you happen to notice a few minor details. Quickly push away the negatice thoughts as you were taught. There are boxes in every room. Where would you like to start?
[[Bedroom]]
[[Kitchen]]
[[Bathroom]]
[[Livingroom]]
You decide to relax for a second. You let your body sink into the sofa. This is comfortable. It's familiar. You recall relaxing on this sofa after your first day of highschool. You remember relaxing on this sofa for 'the talk'. Thank god for your mother. You really need to call her.
[[Call Mom]]
[[Unpack a little]] You walk into your bedroom and feel the weight of your own world on your shoulders. This particular room feels to be too much, or do you feel like you aren't enough?
[[Push through]]
[[Find a different room]]You walk into your kitchen. The counters look clean, but upon further inspection, a film of dust covers the counters and the cabinets. You also have to go grocery shopping. The list of never-ending reasons to not do your kitchen fills you with doubt. What will you do? It's not like you cook anyway... is it?
[[Push through!]]
[[Find a different room]]You walk into the bathroom. The cold tiles hit your bare feet, and you realize you aren't wearing your shoes. When did you take those off? Why? Nevermind.
[[Find a different room]]
[[Clean the Bathroom]]You're here anyway, so why not just start here right? But you already have a sofa, and you can make a coffee table out of the boxes the movers used for the tv. You have everything you need, so why bother?
[[PUSH THROUGH]]
[[Find a different room]] You find all the boxes labled 'bedroom' and collect them into your room. You rip off the tape with a ferocity not seen on this Earth. You are flying through the boxes when you hear a **knock** on the door.
[[Answer]]
[[Keep Going]]You decide its too much.
[[Livingroom]]
[[Bathroom]]
[[Kitchen]] You first OBLITERATE all traces of dust on your counters and cabinets. You then scavenge for all boxes labled 'kitchen'. While you are making a kitchen that even Gordan Ramsey would envy, you hear a **knock** at the door.
[[Answer]]
[[Ignore]]You reach for your phone. Crap, it's dead.
[[Unpack a little]] The tv is lopsided, and you don't trust the movers and the way they looked at your sofa. After a quick inspection of your sofa, you can safely say your sofa of 19 years has not tapped out quite yet. Just when you find your coffee table pieces, a **knock** interrupts.
[[Answer]]
[[My coffee table calls]]You decide having one friend within the building wouldn't be too bad. You walk over to the door and open it. A clean shaven face awaits on the other side of the doorway, holding a small basket of muffins.
"Hello." He says.
"Hello." You answer.
[[awkward silence]]
[[Be normal and reach for a handshake.]]You decide the knock can wait. You wip out your trusty sponge and soap and get to work. You start with the shower, and you are greeted with a grim rusty color that lines the bottom of the shower. You are scrubbing with such force your arms beg for release, when a **knock** breaks your focus.

[[Leave me alone]]Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.You both seem to lack normal social interaction skills and just stand there for what feels like an eternity. He then says;
"My name is Finn." He says.
"Hi, Finn. I'm (print: $name)."
[[Carry the converstation]]
[[End the converstation]]
You reach for a handshake and he returns it.
"Hi, my name is (print: $name)." You say with a smile.
"Nice to meet you, (print: $name). My name is Finn."
[[Carry the converstation]]
[[End the converstation]]"Um, how did you know I was new?" You question.
"I saw the movers here last week."
You then feel embarressed by the amount of boxes he must have seen, considering you live alone.
[[Eye the muffins]]
[[Get to know Finn]]"Nice to meet you Finn, but I've got a lot of unpacking to do, maybe you can come back later ok?"
Before he answers, you close the door and sigh a sign of relief.
"Finally."
[[Go back to your apartment]] You recall the Slim Jim you had in your car about 6 hours ago. The muffins are arranged in 3 rows of 4. Each row seems to contain muffins of different fruity filling. Blueberry, plain, and corn muffin. Your mouth begins to water.
Finn notices and holds out the box for you.
"Made them fresh this morning."
You look up to Finn's face and examine it some more. You can't tell if he is being sinecere or saracistic.
"Thanks.."
[[Take the muffins]]
[[Reject them]]You look closely at the muffins and notice they don't look store bought and stale. They look fresh, and the plastic covering them is starting to fog up. Warm muffins.
"Do you bake?" You ask, pointing at the muffins.
"Time to time." He answers.
Finn then holds out the box of muffins.
[[Take the muffins]]
[[Reject them]]
Double-click this passage to edit it.You reach for the box, making sure you don't touch his hands by accident. Once they are safely in your arms, you feel the warmth of the muffins on the bottom of the box. It spreads to your fingertips and then your whole hand, which eventually leads to your face. A smile spreads across your face.
"I think I should go now." Finn says, causing you to break your focus on the muffins onto him.
But once you look up, he is already walking down the hallway.
[[Go back to your apartment]]"I'm sorry, you say." Pushing the box back into Finn's arms.
"Oh. It's fine." He says, and makes his way down the hallway.
