''PARIS, FALL 2200''
You wake up in your bed.
8:00, say the digits on the wall. They change shape, and you learn that the weather today's looking nice - slightly less dark than yesterday.
<img src="https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1hdm1JpXXXXbXaXXXq6xXFXXXU/223062760/HTB1hdm1JpXXXXbXaXXXq6xXFXXXU.jpg?size=46645&height=400&width=600&hash=40b6391b1c2929fdea2d84f1ebda86c4" style="width:600px;">
Out the window you see the Eiffel Tower. Well, it's not really outside your window but you like to pretend. Though you were more into the Colosseum yesterday.
"Bot, change it back to the Colosseum s'il vous plaît."
"Oui, Madame Jacqueline." The image changes.
You realize that after tomorrow, you won't be coming back to this house. You'll be Uploaded to the Cloud.
Maman calls from downstairs. "Bonjour, Chérie! Come down for breakfast! Your big day is tomorrow."
[[Go downstairs->Hallway]]
[[Sleep a little longer->Mom Warning]]
You finish descending the stairs to the living room. You hear the noise of pots and pans around the corner.

....
....
You check the wall. 11AM. Oh... no.
The house is quiet.
[[Go downstairs->Hallway]] (set:$momSeen to true)"Bonjour Maman," you say, entering the kitchen.
"How'd you sleep, sweetie?" Her tall frame emerges from beside the stove with a swift flick of shiny brown waves.
She snaps her fingers and a mechanic arm lowers down from the cieling, setting a plate of croissants down on table in front of you.
<img src="https://png.pngtree.com/element_origin_min_pic/16/11/22/cbf6e2218d8e0d746ce2a9ecdc362fc7.jpg" style="width:170px;">
Mom's skin illuminates as she hovers over to the seat across the table. Mom is a hologram.
[["I slept well, thanks."->Mom Question]]
[["Not well. I couldn't sleep with all this noise downstairs."->Mom is Angry]]
[[Take a croissant.->Mom is Angry]]
Looks like your typical Parisian living room of the Second Arrondissement. Decorated white cielings, a self-cleaning robot kit, your old automated crib in the corner; didn't think to remove it. There is also a subway map on the coffee table.
[[Follow the pots and pans->Mom is a Robot]]
[Take map]<TakeMap|
(click: ?TakeMap)[You take the map. (set: $mapTaken to true)](if:$late is false)["That's what I like to hear, sweetie. Now eat up."](else:)["Haha. Good thing you slept. Ignoring your mother."

(if:$late is true)[[[Eat the croissant->Mom is Passive Agressive]]]
(if:$late is false)[[[Eat the croissant->Mom is Happy]]]
[[Refuse->Mom is Angry]] (set: $momAngry to true)
Mom looks at you with widened eyes, visibly shocked. "Did I never teach you proper manners, Chérie?(if: $late is true)[ And you dare sleep in this late? What a disgrace.]"
The mechanic arm pulls the croissants away as mom quickly stands from the table.
(if: $late is false)["Better get to school before class," she snaps tersely.](else:)["Get to school."]
She stands up and walks off, disappearing from thin air before she even turns the corner.
[[Get ready and go->Outside]](set: $momAngry to false) "Good girl. Come on, hurry up. Can't be late."
(if: $mapTaken is false)["And better take this map so you don't get lost on the way. It's tough without me giving directions in your ear these days. You're a big girl now." She smiles, gesturing to the arm. It hands you a map. (set: $mapTaken to true)]
"I'm just so excited for you to Upload yourself! Ahh! Can't contain my excitement!" Mom floats up from the table and disappears from thin air.
[[Get ready and go->Outside]]
Ah, the streets of Paris.
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/XQjc3PQ.png" style="width:600px;">
The sky is a dull, monotonous gray. You can't tell if it's cloudless or if a single cloud has simply taken up the whole sky.
Cars wheeze by, slicing through the air in frightening proximity to your head.
There's not a single person in sight.
How do you get to school?
[[Try finding a stranger->Find Stranger]]
[[Look for a Metro station->Metro Station]]
[[Hitchhike->Hitchhiking]] "Good, now get to school."
Mom stands up and walks off, disappearing from thin air before she even turns the corner.
[[Get ready and go->Outside]]You try to flag down a car with your thumb.
Unfortunately, they're flying by way too high up to even notice you.
[[Try to climb higher->Climb Higher]]
[[Look for a Metro Station->Metro Station]]
[[Try finding a stranger->Find Stranger]](set:$timeWaiting to it + 20)
You climb up on a lampost and stick your thumb up. Maybe twenty cars wheeze by.
<img src="http://www.driversmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Terrafugia-TF-X-1.jpg" style="width:550px;">
None notice you. You're getting tired.
Right before you slide off the lampost, a car flies by with the window open... and there's nobody in it.
Ah. They're self-flying cars.
[[Try to jump into a car window->Jump into window]]
[[Look for a Metro Station->Metro Station]]
[[Try to find a stranger->Find Stranger]] (if:($timeWaiting > 50))[(set:$late to true)]There we go. You see the words "METRO" on a big sign across the street. That's gotta be it.
You cross the street and enter the station. (if:$late is false)[There are a couple other teens your age hanging around.](else:)[It is empty.]
But... wait. which line are you even supposed to take?
(if:$mapTaken is true)[[[Look at your map->See map]]]
(if:$late is false)[[[Ask a stranger->Ask stranger]]]
[[Pick one at random->Pick random station]](set:$timeWaiting to it + 30)
You walk around the streets of Paris aimlessly. You walk down maybe ten blocks. You find no one. There is no one on the streets of Paris, except for these goddamn flying cars.
[[Try hitchiking->Hitchhiking]]
[[Look for a Metro Station->Metro Station]] You climb up as high as you can and try to throw yourself into the window of the first open-windowed car you see.
You've jumped surprisingly far and your aim was on point. But as soon as you "hit" the target, it "hits" you back. Some kind of force field.
Your limp body hits the street - you're dead.
<font size="40">''FIN.''</font>You look at your map.
<font face="Chalkboard" color="blue">"École", "Musée", "Tour Eiffel", "Usine", <mark>"Lycée"</mark>.</font>
Oh yeah, that must be the station. Someone even highlighted it.
[[Choose Lycée->Lycée]]
[[Choose Usine->Usine]]
[[Choose Tour Eiffel->Tour Eiffel]]
[[Choose Musée->Musée]]
[[Choose École->École]]You walk up to a random girl on her iPhone CXC, around eight years old.
"Excuse-moi..."
The girl looks up at you expectantly.
"Tu sais où se trouve le lycée?" //(Do you know where is the high school?)//
"Je sais pas," //(I don't know)// she says in French, and looks back down at her phone.
Well, great. Everyone else has gotten on a train by now.
[[Choose a station at random ->Pick specific station]]
(if:$mapTaken is true)[[[Look at map->See map]]]<font face="Arial" color="blue">"École", "Musée", "Tour Eiffel", "Usine".</font>
Must be Usine. That one sounds right.
[[Get on the first car->Usine]](if:$sawCreepyMan is true)[Fortunately, the man did not follow you past the floating escalator. You sigh with relief and take a look at the signs:] <font face="Arial" color="blue">"École", "Musée", "Tour Eiffel", "Usine", "Lycée".</font>

(if:$sawCreepyMan is true)[](else:)[[[Choose Usine->Usine]]]You walk out of the station and you see a school, but... everyone around you is a five-year-old. This doesn't seem right.
[[Go back in the Metro->Pick specific station]]
You walk out of the station and see... the Louvre. Oh, yeah. Musée = museum. That makes sense.
[[Go back in the Metro ->Pick specific station]](set:$late to true)(set:$seenDad to true)You step out of the station and a creepy man approaches. Must be a Disobedient... he appears to be in his 50s but he's not a hologram. Seems sketch.
[[Go back in the station->Pick specific station]]
[[Walk around a bit->Creepy man]](if: $late is true)["Why are you so late, Jacqueline?" Monsieur Courbeau is appalled. "This is not gonna look good on your transcript." He shakes his head.] (else:)[....Monsieur Courbeau announces the start of class, with the same words he uses every day. "Welcome, twelfth graders. It is a pleasure to have you here in my class."]
He sits at the front of the room with his pixelated legs crossed. You brush past him, or brush through him to be precise, as he(if:$seenMom is true)[, like Mom,] is almost completely see-through.
Thank god Amélie and Alix are here. They've saved you a seat.

You join them with a smile. They smile back.
[["Now for the science lesson..."->Science lesson]]Not even gonna tell you why this is the wrong station. Pick a better one.
[[Pick different station->Pick specific station]] (set:$manFollowed to true)The creepy man follows you down the street. You're starting to feel... uncomfortable.
[[Turn back around->Turn around]]
[[Turn the corner->Turn the corner]]You turn around and start speedwalking back towards the Metro station. (if:$factory is true)[The girl doesn't follow you, but the man does.](else:)[The man follows you down the Metro steps.]
As soon as you get to the platform, he steps uncomfortably close to you. He's bald, wearing a thick brown coat. He breathes heavily. His breath stinks.
[[Say something->Say something to Man]]
[[Try to push him away->Push Man Away]](set:$factory to true)You turn the corner and find yourself in a factory. You rush past rows and rows of strange remote-control looking devices... followed by life-sized jars of human bodies... WTF is this?
In your flustered state, you walk straight into a little girl in a labcoat.
"What are you doing here? You should be at school," she says in French.
"Come, follow me, I will teleport you there."
[[Follow the girl->Follow girl]]
[[Hurry back out to the ally->Turn around]] (set:$sawCreepyMan to true)What do you say to the man?
[["Please get away from me"->Man Answer]]
[["What do you want?"->Man Answer]]
[["Hi, what's your name?"->Man Answer]]
[[Get on a car and hope he doesn't follow->Pick specific station]]
[[Try pushing the man away->Push Man Away]]
(set:$sawCreepyMan to true)You try to push the man away. He's much stronger and bigger than you and doesn't budge.
[[Ask him what he wants->Man Answer]]
[[Get on a car and hope he doesn't follow->Pick specific station]] The girl simply touches your shoulder and...
[[*poof*->Lycée]](set:$toldNotUpload to true)The man just breathes heavily.
"D-O... N-OT... UP...LOAD..." He grunts in French.
[[Get on a car and hope he doesn't follow->Pick specific station]] "Long, long ago, people said this thing called God created the world in seven days."

"Lack of resources, famine, and even more pollution. Those are the consequences of overpopulation. Why must we all share the same world? Why don't we live forever, in eternal bliss, up in the cloud?"
[[Keep listening...->Science lesson cont.]]]]]"This is why we Upload ourselves at age 18. That's why the whole world does it, my students. We deserve a better life - one that promises the occassion to become whatever we want to be. We adults get to live for eternity and we offer this occasion to you. It is time for you all to join us, my students."
You wonder if you'll ever hear a different science lecture in this class.
[[Recess->Recess]]Amélie and Alix sit with you over (if:$late is true)[lunch.](else:)[a snack.]
"J'ai trop peur. Je ne veux pas te perdre." Alix says. //(I'm so scared. I don't want to lose you.)//
You say, "T'inquiete, je serai toujours la. Et tu vas me rejoindre bientôt." //(Don't worry, I'll still be here. And you'll join me soon.)//
Alix is upset. You find yourself comforting your friend, while you yourself are scared shitless -- more than you've ever been.
[[Go home->Back home]]''DAY 2''
(if:$momAngry is true)[You walk into the kitchen. Mom is angry.](if:$momAngry is true and $late is true)[ "Hun. I can't believe you were late to school yesterday."](if:$momAngry is false)["Honey, come downstairs! I have a surprise for you!"]
(if:$momAngry is true)[[["Good morning mom..."->Hi to Mom Angry]]]
(if:$momAngry is false)[[[Go downstairs->Hi to Mom Happy]]]As you walk into the kitchen and sit at the table, Mom snaps her finger. The mechanical arm brings down a plate of fresh blueberry scones.

"I know these are your favorite. Got them for this special occassion." She smiles and sits across from you. "Take one. Are you excited for today?"
[["I'm too nervous to eat. I need advice. I'm scared."->Mom Advice]]
[["Yeah. I'm ready." Take a scone.->Take Scone]]Mom sits in front of a cup of coffee. She doesn't make eye contact with you.
"Well, today's your big day. You will be Uploaded. I will not be there to support you. Hope you enjoy."
[["Mom, I'm so sorry..."->Mom Apology]]
[["Is the coffee for me?"->Mom Coffee]]
[["Mom, I need advice. I'm scared."->Mom Advice]]

[["Ok Mom, I'm ready."->to Usine]](set:$unplugAllowed to false)Mom looks up at you and blinks. "You know what. I don't think your maturity has reached the appropriate level to be Uploaded. I'll be speaking to the Conseil Municipal about this."
She immediately disappears.
[[//What happens now..?//->Home Alone]](if:$momAngry is true)["You don't deserve my advice, sweetheart. Now get to the Usine."](else:)[(set:$momGaveAdvice to true)Mom offers her hand across the table. You try to take it, but you kinda just end up just making a fist in the air where hers is.
"My biggest advice to you is let the Mentor guide you in every circumstance. Be polite to him. If you are rude and disrespectful, you'll be in a dangerous place. He can wipe you from the system at any time."
"Ok Mom."
"And one more thing. I know it sounds appealing but for the love of the Cloud, don't choose to be a Celebrity. Be an Engineer. They have the most power. Dad was an Engineer as well." She looks off into the distance.
"Mom, are you ok?"
"Yes, fine."]
[["Ok Mom, I'm ready."->to Usine]](if:$momAngry is true)[Mom stands up and tugs at the hem of her shirt. "Alright. Well, good luck out there. I'll see you in no time." She awkwardly wraps her arms around you, but you don't even feel them.](else:)["Goodbye, sweetheart." Mom stands from her seat and gives you a big hug. You don't even feel it though.
"You'll kill it. I believe in you. Don't be scared."]
There's a knock at the door.

She stares at you with sad eyes. You see yourself in her. She touches your shoulder.
You disappear.
<font size="40">''FIN.''</font>
The scone is delicious. "Thanks Mom."
"You bet, sweetie. I'm excited to finally see you up close. Let me know when you're ready."
[["Ok Mom, I'm ready."->to Usine]]
[["Wait Mom, I'm kinda nervous."->Mom Advice]]A girl in a white labcoat stands at your doorstep. (if: $factory is true)[In fact, it's the same girl that you saw in the factory yesterday.]
"Come with me, Jacqueline." She says in French.
You prepare to follow her but before you can do anything, she puts her hand on your shoulder and...
[[//poof//->To Lab]]You find yourself in a gray lab room.
Outside the door to your left you see rows of machinery...(if: $factory is true)[the factory?](else:)[a factory of some sort?]
The girl in the lab coat directs you to a metal chair. Beside the chair is a rolling table, and on top of it is a strange metal device. The device looks like a remote control, but the head of it is as sharp as a needle. The bottom of the device is connected by cable to some larger machine... as if about to import something.
"Please sit here. You won't feel a thing."
[[Sit on chair -> Sit]]
[[Run away -> Run Away]]You sit in the chair as the girl turns a switch on its side.
She then picks up the device from the metal table. "Like I said before, this won't hurt a bit."
You watch with fear as she brings the device behind your head. You feel a sharp pain as she sticks it into the back of your neck. All goes black.
[[To the cloud...->Cloud Entry]]There's the door to your left out to the factory, and a window to your right that seems pretty difficult to climb.
Which way do you want to run?
[[Out the door to the factory -> Out the factory door]]
[[Out the window -> Out the window]]
You run past the girl in the labcoat and through the door to the factory. You find yourself in a large warehouse, surrounded by machines. (if: $factory is false)[You rush past rows and rows of the same device you saw on the table, followed by life-sized jars of human bodies... WTF is this place?](if:$factory is true)[It's the same factory you were in when you left the Metro station.]
[[Run to the exit-> To Exit]]You run to the wall and try to jump up to the windowsill, but you can't reach. Well, there's that. The girl quickly grabs you by the arm. All you see is the glint of a taser before you lose consciousness. All is black.
[[To the cloud...->Cloud Entry]]You run to the exit ahead, but before you can make it, the girl in the labcoat appears right in front of you. Uh...did she teleport or something? She's the only one who seems able to do that.
"You're gonna come sit," she says in French. She's not entertained.
What do you do?
[[Follow the girl->Go back and Sit]]
[[Try to run around her->Try to run around]]You join the girl and go back to the chair.
She sits you down and turns a switch on its side.
She then picks up the device from the metal table. "Like I said before, this won't hurt a bit."
You watch with fear as the girl brings the device behind your head. You feel a sharp pain as she sticks it into the back of your neck. All goes black.
[[To the cloud...->Cloud Entry]]You try to run around the girl but she grabs your arm. All you see is the glint of a taser emerging from her pocket before you lose consciousness. Everything goes dark.

Hello Jacqueline! Welcome to the cloud!
My name is Jo and I will be your Mentor for the ride. Ready?
[[Yes->Let's go]](enchant: ?Link, (text-colour: #4fe5ff))<img src="https://i.imgur.com/anqQc9O.png" style="width:180px;" align="right">
So to start off, here are a couple of rules about the cloud:
1. Your life is what you want it to be now. Choose wisely.
2. Of the people you see in the Cloud, the only "real" people (who once had a body) are people you knew Outside who were also Uploaded. The rest will be simulations. We believe this is the best way to maintain a safe community here.
3. We retrieved an egg from your uterus earlier this year, as you remember. If you meet someone with whom you'd like to reproduce, contact me anytime. You are permitted one child only.
[[Continue->Move On]](set:$foodQ to false)(set:$travelQ to false)(set:$friendsQ to false)(enchant: ?Link, (text-colour: #4fe5ff))<img src="https://i.imgur.com/anqQc9O.png" style="width:180px;" align="right">
4. You may observe the Outside once a day for ten minutes at a time, but the only people you may communicate with outside are your child (if and when you have one), unless your Profession requires otherwise.
5. If we find you tainting the Cloud's reputation in //any// shape or form, you will be permanently removed from the system. We are monitoring every one of our members.
6. The Cloud is a happy place. We are always satisfied here.
For the sake of transparency, we'd like you to know your Outside body has been permanently disposed of. We hope you enjoy your eternal life of bliss.

Great choice. Teachers are some of the most giving individuals in the Cloud.
For this Profession, you will have the task of interacting with real 9th graders on the Outside. In fact, it is very simple. You record yourself giving a lecture about the Cloud and how great it is, and we will replay it for them every day in class.

Interesting choice.
Engineers in the Cloud possess the only real job of any of the Professions. We will actually be needing your skills, for... um... real reasons.
Before I can give you the details, we must have you sign a contract. It's a simple vow, more of a warning, and won't take more than 2 seconds. Ready?

Wonderful!
In your new job as a Cook, you will be doing everything that has nothing to do with food. Children on the Outside obviously have food, as we have developed machines to handle the cooking for them. This is just your imaginary pastime for your time in the Cloud.
You'll start your cooking shift at the restaurant every morning at 8AM and finish at 6PM. Of course these hours are arbitrary since there is no time in the cloud.

Thank you, Jacqueline.
The reason we need Engineers like you has, in fact, nothing to do with engineering. That is a nickname to hide the real job. Your job is to find Disobedients out in the wild and //wipe// //them// //out//.
Disobedients are people who have escaped the Cloud and decided to fend for themselves Outside on the streets, as non-hologram adults. I see no reason why anyone would do this, as there is nothing to do out on the streets. They are ruining our streets. They are trash. And they would die out there, instead of living an eternity of bliss.
You'll be given a target and a weapon and your task will be to find the target and eliminate it. We will put a tracker on you so we know your location at all times. You will return to the Cloud immediately upon extermination, or //you// will be exterminated as well. Sounds good?

As a daily survey of all of our members, we'd love to ask you: how satisfied would you say you are with your experience in the Cloud, from ''1-Not Satisfied'' to ''3-Very Satisfied?''

Today Amélie is throwing a party. Her 18th birthday is tomorrow and she'll be joining the Cloud, so she invited your whole class for a last goodbye. She got a beautiful chocolate cake to share.

Listen carefully, Jacqueline.
Your target is a Disobedient we have been unable to identify by name.
We do not know his story. He recently arrived in Paris from an unknown location we have been unable to pin down. We assume he escaped the Cloud many years ago but have not received any good footage of his face to identify him.
We heard the man has been seen hanging around the Usine Metro Station, wearing a brown coat. We also know he is bald.
(if:$seenDad is true)[//Could this be... the man that I saw?//]
In a few minutes, you will be brought back Outside and asked to find the man. We are tracking you, so do not think to escape. You will be exterminated if you try.
Ready?

Thank you, Jacqueline.
The reason we need Engineers like you has, in fact, nothing to do with engineering. That is a nickname to hide the real job. Your job is to find Disobedients out in the wild and //wipe// //them// //out//.
Disobedients are people who have escaped the Cloud and decided to fend for themselves Outside on the streets, as non-hologram adults. I see no reason why anyone would do this, as there is nothing to do out on the streets. They are ruining our streets. They are trash. And they would die out there, instead of living an eternity of bliss.
You'll be given a target and a weapon and your task will be to find the target and eliminate it. We will put a tracker on you so we know your location at all times. You will return to the Cloud immediately upon extermination, or //you// will be exterminated as well. Sounds good?
[[Yes, sounds good, sir.->Next Step2]]

No... that's not what it means. It means you //may not// escape the Cloud. Please finish the vow now.

You're in the same gray lab room you were in when you were Uploaded. Across from you sits the girl in the labcoat. She smiles.
[[Smile back->Girl Let's go]]
[[Ask what day is it->Ask what Day]]"How are you feeling?"
You feel a strange discomfort at the back of your neck. You bring your hand back to touch it. A large scab has formed over the spot where she'd inserted the device. To the right of the scab, also on the back of your neck, you can feel a metal chip.
"That's your tracker," she explains. "We will take you back to this room once your mission is over and Upload you back to the Cloud. In the meantime, you may not communicate with or be seen by //anyone// you know from the Outside. Understood?"
[["Yes."->More info from labcoat]]"It's day six," she says.
//Strange reply, but ok...//
You feel a strange discomfort at the back of your neck. You bring your hand back to touch it. A large scab has formed over the spot where she'd inserted the device. To the right of the scab, also on the back of your neck, you feel a metal chip.
"That's your tracker," she explains. "We will take you back to this room once your mission is over and Upload you back to the Cloud. In the meantime, you may not communicate with or be seen by //anyone// you know from the Outside. Understood?"
[["Yes."->More info from labcoat]]"Here is your weapon." The girl says.
She puts a pistol in your hands.
//Whoa.//
"Don't worry. This won't kill the target - it will only put them to sleep. Once the target is down, press the button on the metal chip in the back of your head. We will come get you, and we'll take care of the target at that point.
Remember that the only information we know is that the man was seen at this Metro station before. We don't know where else he would be. Now head on out. You have two hours. Good luck."
[[Leave the factory->To Usine Streets]]You head back out to the street, nearly tripping over your own feet with every step. Wow, you're not used to this body thing.

" style="width:400px;">
The street smells of fresh rain on cobblestones. Wow... You've missed the sense of smell.
You almost want to go stop at a cafe or something and get yourself a little pastry.
[[Look for a cafe->Look for cafe]]
[[Look for the man->Look for the man]]You start heading towards your favorite cafe, the one you'd always go to with Alix and Amélie.
Through the window, you see some of your friends from class. But you haven't eaten a pastry in //forever//. Go in?
[[Yes->Die in Cafe]]
[[No, look for the man->Look for the man]] //Alright.. bald, brown coat. Hmm.. where could he be?//
[[Walk around the streets around Usine station->Streets]]
[[Check the Metro->Metro Station2]]You walk into the cafe.
Immediately as you enter, Alix rounds the corner.
//"Jacqueline?!?! Is that you??"// She erupts in tears. "I thought you'd been Uploaded!"
You start tearing up as well. You can't help but give her a hug. "I was, but... well.. it's a long story."
The chip in the back of your neck starts vibrating violently. Oh shit.
[[You're in trouble...->Death]]Within seconds, the girl in the labcoat appears in front of you.
"You were not allowed to be seen."
She touches your shoulder.
You disappear.
<font size="40">''FIN.''</font>
You walk back and forth through the streets around Usine. You can't find the man. Maybe twenty minutes have gone by. You stress that time is running out.
You see something suspicious and brown sticking out of a trash can.
[[Look in the trash can->Trash]]
[[Go to the Metro->Metro Station2]] You're back in the Metro station. Where do you want to go?
<font face="Arial" color="blue">"École", "Musée", "Tour Eiffel", "Home", "Lycée".</font>
[[Choose Lycée->Lycée2]]
[[Choose École->École2]]
[[Choose Home->Home2]]
[[Choose Tour Eiffel->Tour Eiffel2]]You go up to the trash can to see it up close. Cloth of some sort? You pull it out.
It's the man's coat. You check the pockets. Nothing.
But the man is nowhere to be seen.
[[Go to the Metro->Metro Station2]] You approach the gate of the elementary school and watch the kids laughing and jumping around on the playground. //Wow...// you think to yourself. //They really have no clue what they're in for, do they?// You find yourself jealous of their ignorance.
But there's nothing else to see here.
[[Go back to the Metro->Metro Station2]] You walk out the Metro station to your street.
As you approach your house, you see that the front steps are unusually muddy.
[[Cautiously knock on the door->Door Knock]]
[[Walk straight in->Walk in]]Wow, the Eiffel Tower looks beautiful.

It's crazy how old this thing is. One of the longest-standing monuments in the world.
Unfortunately, you see nothing else here of interest.
[[Go back to metro station->Metro Station2]]
You're at the entrance to your high school. The doors are open.
Out of your peripheral vision, you see a red arrow scribbled on a piece of paper, hanging from the school gates to your right. The arrow points to the alleyway beside the school.
[[Go into the building->In High School]]
[[Follow the arrow->Alleyway]]
[[Go back to the Metro->Metro Station2]] You try to knock. Nobody answers.
[[Walk in->Walk in]] As you enter the living room, you see a light shining onto the hardwood floors out of the crack of the kitchen door.

"Maman...?" you call out cautiously. You don't think her hologram would still be here after you'd been Uploaded. The city council would soon move in some other family.
You hold the pistol between sweaty fingers behind your back.
You try to listen, but hear nothing.
[[Walk into the kitcen->Kitchen]]You enter the alleyway. As you continue in, you see graffiti on the back wall...(click:"graffiti")[
(set:$seenGraffiti to true)
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/7StM4gX.jpg" style="width:600px;">
//Whoa. What...? Who could have written this?//
[[Go back to the school gates->Lycée2]]
]You're in your high school hallway. There aren't many students around, but you know it's lunchtime and your friends would be in the cafeteria.
[[Go to the cafeteria->Cafeteria]]
[[Walk back out to the gates->Lycée2]] You walk into the cafeteria and straight into César, the boy you used to have a crush on.(click-replace: "César")[Louis] (click-replace:"Louis")[Guillaume] (click-replace:"Guillaume")[Arthur] (click-replace:"Arthur")[Alexandre]
"Jacqueline? Is that you?"
You feel your cheeks turn red.
"I thought you've already been Uploaded."
The chip in the back of your neck starts to vibrate violently. Oh shit.
[[You're in trouble...->Death]]You enter the kitchen.
The bald man is sitting at your kitchen table. He looks up at you, his face emotionless.
You feel your heart beating faster.
[[Talk to the man->Talk to Man]]
[[Pull out your gun->Pull out Pistol]]"What are you doing in my house?" you ask.
The man doesn't answer.
[[Try asking something else->Different Question]]
[[Pull out your gun->Pull out Pistol]] You pull out your pistol and point it at the man.
"Freeze--" you start to say, but you aren't quick enough. He's already stood up and has a knife to your throat.
[[Try to kick the man->Kicking man]]
[[Surrender->Surrender]] What do you want to ask the man?
[["How did you know I live here?"->How Did You Know]]
[["Why did you escape the Cloud?"->Why escape cloud]]
[["Who are you?"->Who are you]]
(if:$toldNotUpload is true)[[["Why did you tell me not to Upload?"->Why Tell Not to Upload]]]
(if:$manFollowed is true)[[["Why were you following me earlier?"->Why following]]]
(if:$seenGraffiti is true)[[["Were you the one who made that graffiti?"->Graffiti Question]]]The man still doesn't answer.
[[Try asking something else->Different Question]]
[[Pull out your gun->Pull out Pistol]] The man still doesn't answer.
[[Try asking a different question->Different Question]]
[[Pull out your gun->Pull out Pistol]] The man says nothing. He brings a finger up to his lips as if you should remain quiet.(click:"quiet")[
He slowly slides a photo across the table.

[[Pull out your gun->Pull out Pistol]] You feel tears fill your eyes as you struggle to stay silent.
All of a sudden, the man stands up and pulls out a knife.
[[Pull out your gun->Pull out Pistol]]
[[Surrender->Surrender]]He brings it to the back of your neck and cuts out the chip. He tosses the chip on the floor and stomps on it.
He gives you a big hug.
"I've missed you, Chérie."
Before you can reply, Papa says, "Sorry I couldn't say anything with that chip listening from your neck. Just come with me. We don't have much time."
[[Follow Papa->ESCAPE]]On the way out of the house and through the streets of Paris, Papa explains everything to you.
(click:"everything")
[
When Papa was 18, he joined the Cloud. Papa hated the Cloud.]
(click:"hated")
[
Luckily, he met your mom on the Cloud and fell in love. He was an Engineer, so he had the opportunity to go back and forth between the worlds.]
(click:"worlds")
[
One day, on a mission, he was accidentally seen by his friend on the Outside.]
(click:"seen")
[
Papa knew he would immediately be killed by his Mentor, so he removed his chip and ran away.]
(click:"ran away")
[
In the meantime, Maman was notified that no baby was conceived, so that she wouldn't try to escape as well.]
(click:"escape")
[
The day before your 18th birthday, Papa decided to return to Paris to try and save you from being Uploaded. But he also didn't want to keep you from seeing Maman.]
(click:"save you")
[(if:$momGaveAdvice is true)[
So he hacked Maman's hologram to advise you to be an Engineer, and hoped you would be sent Outside with him as your target.(click:"target")

"It's time for us to go home, sweetie."

[[Surrender->Surrender]] "What is it, Chérie?"
"Amélie. She's supposed to be Uploaded today. Can we save her?"
"Oh, don't worry, love. I've already directed her to the Côte d'Azur."
"Is that where we're going?"
"Yes, my love."
