Nina sprints towards the alleyway of the town, she peers behind the wall with no sight of Searin.\n\nShe runs through the alley, jumping over trash bags and moving empty boxes to the side.\n\nA snarling dog echoes through the alleyway.\n\n[[ Follow The Sound ]]\n\n[[ Go Back To The Park ]]\n\n[[Go Into Town ]]\n
Nina extends her hand to Searin to help him up, he accepts.\n\n“I would like to work here as soon as our training is done, hopefully, one near a park If you can pull any strings.” Searin blushes.\n\n“I'll look into it, Searin. Let's head back to the agency and tell them the good news.”\n\n[[ Agency Office ]]\n
Nina sprints towards Searin with the collar in her hand.\n\nHe runs the opposite way towards the park, knocking trash cans down, and throwing people behind him.\n\nAs Nina rounds the corner of the alleyway into the park, she runs into Nick cuffing Searin.\n\n"Trouble for you, Nina?" Nick scoffs.\n"Do you know that he chased down a jogger? I'm guessing it's no coincidence that children were running from a duck in the park?"\n\n"Nick I- "\n\n"I have to report this, Nina. Both of you."\n\n[[ Follow Nick ]]
Nina and Searin are walking through the town during a block party. The merchants are calling for attention for business, the smell of barbeque ribs fills the street. Children are running around and eating Icecream.\n\n"I want one of those." Searin looks to Nina.\n\n"After I show you around, this is a beautiful place."\n\n"Would be a shame if a bull ran through this place," Searin grumbles with his hands in his pockets.\n\n[[ Take Searin For Ice Cream ]]\n\n[[ Go To The Park ]]
“You had a chance, a choice to pick what you wanted. You decided to harass people instead.”\n\n“No I didn't have a choice, I don't like small spaces. I feel like my heart is going to explode when I'm trapped, but you didn't care. You just wanted to dump me on someone else.” Searin looks away towards the blank wall to his right.\n\n“You liked the shop-“\n\n“Doesn't mean I can live my life there or will enjoy it. I'm to serve regular people, that isn't what I want.”\n\nNina looks over Searin for a moment.\n\n“What do you want?”\n\n“I was told I would be a hero… to make a difference to my kind.” Searin mumbles.\n\nThe door opens in the front; Agent Helms walks in holding a chair. He places the chair on the ground in front of him and sits down.\n\n"What happened Nina?" Agent Helms asks.\n\n[[ Tell The Truth ]]\n\n[[ Tell A Lie ]]
Nina walks into the office room alone while Searin waits in a chair by the door.\n\nShe pulls out the report on merging jobs and writes down Searin's name and place to work. She adds notes about a bigger store and possible position in the front to greet the guests. \n\nNina places the black and silver collar over the paper work on the desk and heads back out. \n\n“Searin, I wrote the paperwork for you. They should be able to finish you up within a few days and get you in that shop.”\n\n“What about you?” Searin asks.\n\n“I'll move on to my next partner. A never ending cycle.” Nina laughs.\n\n“Until you find one you want to keep with you through the program.” Searin looks down at his thumbs as he fiddles with them.\n\n“Yes, that is true. But you can finally start a new life, I approved you on that shop. I even added good notes. You've just about successfully started your journey towards a better life.”\n\n[[ The End ]]\n
Welcome to Guardian Watch Agency, we are a unique group whose goal is to successfully merge the regular everyday life of humans with supernatural creatures who have been living in the shadows for centuries. We pride ourselves on giving these supernatural beings a new life. We do understand that they won't be able to function like regular citizens. That is why we have this program. Those that graduate will be working as "hero's" to serve their city.\n\nGot that Nina?\n\n[[Understood]]\n\n\n\n
Nina heads into town. Everyone is calm and having a good time at the block party. Children are running around with balloons and kites while the parents are taking pictures.\n\nMerchants are calling out sales to grab attention.\n\nSearin isn't in sight.\n\n[[ Go To The Park ]]
“That was pretty funny! Did you see his face?” Nina hunches over laughing. She slowly reaches into her pocket for the collar. \n\n“It was funny!” Searin laughs along.\n\nNina Takes a step closer.\n\n[[ Run At Him ]]\n\n[[ Laugh More ]]\n
Nina returns to the truck and buys Searin another cone.\n\nShe hands the cone to Searin; he unhinges his jaw and swallows the entire cone with in a second. \n\n“Mmmmm! Another One, or I'll turn into a Rhino!” \n\n[[Give Searin Another Cone ]]\n\n[[ You Can't Keep Threating To Get Your Way ]]
Nina approaches an IceCream shop and orders Searin a vanilla cone. She hands the merchant the money and gives Searin his cone. \n\nHe sniffs the cone before taking a bite.\n\n"Mmmmm..." He unhinges his jaw like a snake to eat the entire thing.\n\n"Another!" Searin demands.\n\n"No I still need to show you around," Nina says.\n\n"Then I'll turn into an animal and trample the stands!"\n\n[[ You Can't Keep Threating To Get Your Way ]]\n\n[[ Give Searin Another Cone ]]
In the room, there are only two chairs and a door in the front.\n\nSearin sits in a chair with the collar on his neck by Nina. He fidgets around as he tries to pry it off.\n\nNina sits in a chair beside him.\n\n\n[[ Talk ]]
Golden Park is quiet. A few joggers are still on the trails through the park with their dogs.\n\nThe ducks in the water swim towards the other end of the lake with ducklings, no children to feed them.\n\nA man in a jogger suit runs through the park screaming.\n\n“HELP. ANIMAL CONTROL, A BLACK DOG IN THE ALLEYWAY!” He shouts.\n\n[[ Go To The Alleyway ]]\n
Nina grabs Searin's hand and pulls him to the right. She goes through Agent Helms door, dragging him in with her.\n\n“I'd like to request paperwork on keeping Searin as my partner. I have concluded that he would be a great asset to the agency as another trainer.” Nina salutes Agent Helms.\n\nSearin double takes at Nina shocked.\n\nAgent Helms leans back in his chair and strokes the hair on his chin.\n\n“Searin, was it? Would you like that?”\n\nSearin nods.\n\nAgent Helms gets out from his seat and extends his hand. After your training you shall be a great asset to this agency, I expect no less. Welcome, Searin."\n\n\n[[ The End ]]
Searin fidgets around.\n\n"You did this to yourself," Nina says.\n\n"So What? You failed as a partner you didn't help me. This is your fault. I'll be removed from the program and so will you." Searin hisses.\n\n“I was trying to do my job, to help you mingle around until you found a place to stay. You ran off.” \n\n“Is that all I am to you people? Just some mindless nut to find a niche to stay forever in? How about how I feel about it?” Searin grumbles to him self.\n\n[[ You Have A Choice ]]\n\n[[ I'm Sorry ]]\n
Give And Take
“I've never had someone be this kind towards me, I've been in this program for two years now.” Searin nibbles on the cone.\n\n“You seem to enjoy the cones, how do you feel about working here?”\n\n“It wouldn't be too bad I guess.” Searin looks over at the truck and shivers.\n\n“There are other parlors to work for that are bigger.”\n\nSearin Smiles. \n\n[[ Ready To Go? ]]\n
"Can I request a new partner?" Nina asks as she extends the file back to Nick.\n\nNick laughs as he holds up his hands to his chest.\n"No way, I'm not taking him back."\n\nThe door to the left of the room opens, another agent walks through wearing sunglasses. Behind him is a black dog without a leash or collar. \n\nThe dog sits in front of you.\n\n\n[[ Pet ]]\n\n[[ Is This A Joke ]]
“You can't keep threatening me to get your way.” Nina crosses her arms over her chest.\n\n“But you know… If you enjoy ice cream so much you could always work in the truck. Easy enough for you to handle.” Nina looks over the pink Ice Cream Truck and peers inside its open door.\n\n“In there? That small space?” Searin whispered. \n\n“You'll be fine, you could easily relax in this. It's not that small either; I think we have found your job. Let's see if he will hire you” Nina waves at the truck driver in the window.\n\n“I don't like small places…”\n\n[[ You'll Be Fine . Get The Job Over]]\n\n[[ Never Mind. Find Another Job ]]\n
"Never Mind sir." Nina turns back to Searin who is cowering behind her.\n\n"I Don't enjoy small places either, let's see if the park has anything."\n\n"Can I get another Ice Cream first?" Searin begs.\n\n\n\n[[ Go To The Park ]]\n\n[[ Give Searin Another Cone ]]
A black dog is licking ice cream off the ground by a brick wall. \n\nNina approaches horrified.\n\n“Searin, did you attack a jogger for that!” Nina shouts. \n\nThe dog backs away from the ice cream and sits there with his head hung low. He lets out a low whimper.\n\n“I have to report this, Searin.”\n\n[[ Report To The Agency ]]
"Is this a joke?" Nina asks as she looks to Nick.\n\nThe black dog sitting in front of Nina lets out a low whine as it rolls over on its back, exposing its stomach for a "belly rub". \n\n[[ Pet ]]\n\n[[ Enough Wasting My Time ]]
You have completed Give And Take's best endings.\nCongratulations.
“That was priceless! I loved when you chased the children, they were so cute running.” Nina takes a step closer.\n\n“Can you turn into that goose again?”\n\nSearin chuckles as he shifts into a goose and extends his wings.\n\nNina lunges at him and hooks on the collar.\n\n“Searin you chased a man down, and children. I have to report this…”\n\n[[ Report To The Agency ]]\n
Nina follows the sound towards the back of the alleyway; she notices a black dog backing at a stranger who is holding an ice cream cone pinned against the wall.\n\n“Searin, if that's you I will have to report this!” Nina shouts.\n\nThe black dog looks back towards her.\n\nThe jogger runs away towards the park.\n\nSearin shapeshifts back into a human and crosses his arms.\n“It was a joke.”\n\n[[ Laugh At the Joke ]]\n\n[[ Run At Him ]]\n
Nina reaches down towards the black dog with her hand extended. \nNick holds his breath, as does the other agent in the room.\nThe dog shapeshifts into a grizzly bear and stands on his back legs roaring. \n\n[[ Stand Straight and Roar back ]]\n\n[[ Enough Wasting My Time ]]
Nina straightens herself, takes a deep breath and roars back at the bear.\n\nThe bear shifts into a laughing Searin. Searin is an average guy with a black fohawk. \n\n"Man do I like you!"\n\n\n\n[[ Enough Wasting My Time ]]
"As ready as I'll ever be." Nina scoffs.\n\nThe door to the left of the room opens, another agent walks through wearing sunglasses. Searin, an average height man with a black fohawk walks behind the agent with his hands in his pockets.\n\n“Ready or not, here I am.” Searin sings.\n\nNick clears his throat, "This is Nina. Searin, might I remind you that this is the last chance you get here. Don't screw up."\n\nSearin turns to Nick and salutes him.\n\n[[ Enough Wasting My Time ]]
“I'm sorry, Searin,” Nina says.\n\n“You aren't. But I'll accept that you feel anything towards me.” Searin sighs.\n\n“I'm sorry, Searin. I know you've been thrown around in this agency for two years now. That you just run around doing whatever you want, but I also know in the beginning you tried. You've gone through over seven agents or more before you were set with me.” Nina reaches out her hand to place on Searin's shoulder.\n\n“They just gave up on me. Even when I was trying, they decided I wasn't worth their time….” Searin looked down at the ground with a sigh.\n\nThe door opens in the front; Agent Helms walks in holding a chair. He places the chair on the ground in front of him and sits down.\n\n"What happened Nina?" Agent Helms asks.\n\n[[ Tell The Truth ]]\n\n[[ Tell A Lie ]]
“You'll be fine, and we can part ways faster.”\n\n“Excuse me, sir, I'm with the agency of Merging United. My pal here wants to know if you are willing to work with us in giving him a job…” Nina turns to see Searin is missing.\n\n“Your pal scurried with his tail between his legs towards the alley.” The truck driver says. “ He clearly didn't want this.”\n\n\n[[ Look For Searin ]]
Nina and Searin appear in the Golden Park. There is a walking path around a decent lake with a fountain in the middle spewing water. Children are gathered on the edge of the lake throwing bread at ducks. Squirrels are running up park benches and hide as few joggers go by. It's a quiet place.\n\n"Really..." Searin rolls his eyes.\n\n"Focus here, this is a great town to be a part of. Since you can look normal you can work outside of the Agency. Make money, have a home." Nina gazes over the lake with ducks.\n\n"If you enjoy being outside, this could be a potential home, you could care for the park." Nina turns around to see Searin is missing.\n\nA child runs by screaming with an ice cream cone in his hand. Following behind is a goose squawking loudly. \n\n[[ Follow The Goose ]]\n\n[[ Look For Searin ]]
You chose to tell the truth.\n\nBecause of this Searin was removed from the program, forced into a small court to hear his claims for harassment in the park.\n\n Nina is put on suspension for two weeks and is Nick's new partner in training as a second chance. As she is re-trained for two months she gets promoted with excellent results with her new partners. \n \n
You chose to lie.\n\nBecause of this Searin and Nina are put on probation, it was obvious that he was chasing children in the park as he was seen with Nina but Helms let you off with a slap on the hand.\n\nSearin is given an extra three months of training with Nina. In the future, he opens his own shop after training and Nina is rewarded a “Hardship” award for her struggles. She goes on to replace Agent Helms for her kind heart and loyal actions in the future.
Nina and Searin walk into the agency together, Nick greets them at the door.\n\n“It hasn't even been a full day, is he that much trouble?”\n\n“Not at all, actually we are done with this case. Searin knows what he wants to merge into. An Ice Cream Shop by a park, preferably Golden Park.” \n\nNick looks at Searin who nods.\n\n“Wow… Okay. I didn't think you could do it. Just head to the left to fill out the report.”\n\n[[ Go To The Left ]]\n\n[[ Go To The Right ]]\n
Nick Heggins hands you a file with the name Searin scribbled at the top. The folder has doodles of skulls and stick figures running in blue crayon.\n\n“Searin is a unique case, he can fit in as an agent here if trained,” Nick says as he brushes his long locks from his face. \n\n“Ready to meet him?”\n\n[[ As Ready As I'll Ever Be ]]\n\n[[ Can I Request A New Partner?]]
"Enough wasting my time, please." Nina crosses her arms.\n\n"First impressions are everything, and I don't like you anymore. You had a fair chance." Searin sneers. \n\nNick walks over to Nina and hands her a black and silver collar. Searin steps away from her, towards the door.\n\n"If he gets into any trouble use this, he can't shapeshift with it on," Nick says.\n\n[[Let Us Start]]
Searin is cuffed to a chair in the agency with Nina sitting beside him. There are only those two chairs in the entire room.\n\n“Nina, What happened? You were asked a simple job, this could cost you everything you've worked for.” Nick paces back and forth.\n\n“Are you going to tell?” Nina asks.\n\n“I should. I should rat you out and have them throw you out, let you return here in two years and try again.” Nick sighs as he runs a hand through his hair.\n\n“But I won't. You have to come clean, own up to your mistake.”\n\nNick walks out of the room looking defeated; he closes the door behind him.\n\n[[ Talk ]]\n
Nina pulls out her wallet and hands the merchant her last dollar. She hands the cone over to Searin.\n\nSearin stares at the cone for a moment before taking the cone. \n\n"Last dollar huh?" Searin asks.\n\n"Mhm," Nina says.\n\n"Spent on me...." Searin sits on the ground instantly and licks at his cone.\n\n[[ What's Wrong? ]]\n\n

Nina follows behind the goose and child. The boy screams out for his mother as he continues to run, he drops his ice cream onto the pavement. The goose stops the chase and gobbles the ice cream off the ground. \n\n"Searin are you out of your mind!" Nina shouts\n\nThe goose takes off and shapeshifts into a dog, running out of the park. He knocks down a child in the process. \n\n\n[[ Look For Searin ]]
Nina returns to the truck and buys Searin another cone.\n\nShe hands the cone to Searin; he unhinges his jaw and swallows the entire cone with in a second. \n\n“Mmmmm! Another One, or I'll turn into a Lion!” \n\n[[Give Searin Another Cone]]\n\n[[ You Can't Keep Threating To Get Your Way ]]\n
