!The Beginning! Hello There! You sit at your desk the same way you sit there everyday, bored, lonely and eagerly awaiting for the day to [[end]]. [[Look at the clock]] [[Don't look at the clock]]

You look at the clock and instantly realise it was a mistake, the day has only just begun. Looking at it reminds you that there aren't just 8 hours of [[work]] left but a whole life of the same monotonous routine. Read [[emails]] [[Procrastinate]]

You don't look at the clock and instead decide to boot up your PC. You log in and the flood of emails start to pour in. Read the [[emails]] [[Don't read the emails]].

//Welcome to your new and incredible position as my personal ''Campaign Manager!'' I expect you will make the right decisions and turn me into the next President! Make too many wrong decisions and I will make sure you never see the light of day... Just kidding... Good luck and i'm looking forward to working with you!// -[[Zack Tresler]] [[Return Don't Look|Don't look at the clock]] [[Return Look|Look at the clock]]

Did you think I would give you a shortcut this early? Pah, Get back to the <<return "The Beginning">>, Lazy!

You decide not to read your emails and instead sit around twiddling your thumbs... [[Continue Twiddling]]

Your Job is to boost the Presidential Campaign for your boss Zack Tresler. Maybe if you would have read your [[emails]] you would know... <<return "look at the clock">>

You boot up Minesweeper and start to casually click the gameboard, no real effort is being put in here but you seem to be winning! You're so invested in the Game that you don't notice that somebody has now walked into your office and is standing directly in front of your desk. [[Look up slowly]] [[Stand to attention]]

You finish your game of Minesweeper as you look up slowly, The Woman standing in font of you has piercing blue eyes, golden blonde hair and a face so symmetrical that any Math's Teacher would faint at the sight of it. This is the one and only Valentina Tresler, Wife of [[Zack Tresler]]. I would suggest that you be cautious around her as she has the cunning of a Fox and the Venom of a Snake. Valentina: "//You've just started here and already I can see you will prove to be a complete failure...//" [[Conversation->Meeting Valentina 1]]

You jump out of your seat and stand firmly to attention. The Woman standing in font of you has piercing blue eyes, golden blonde hair and a face so symmetrical that any Math's Teacher would faint at the sight of it. This is the one and only Valentina Tresler, Wife of [[Zack Tresler]]. I would suggest that you be cautious around her as she has the cunning of a Fox and the Venom of a Snake. Valentina: "//It's refreshing to see someone who know's how to properly greet their Superior.//" [[Conversation->Meeting Valentina 2]]

Valentina: "//Have you read your Emails yet? Although judging from my current impression of you i'd be suprised if you had. So... Was the email from my Husband or from our Management Team?//" "[[Your Husband]]" "[[The Management Team]]"

You twiddle your thumbs some more... Well this is interesting isn't it... [[More Twiddling]]

Okay you can stop Twiddling now, Somebody is coming into your Office! [[Conversation->Meeting Valentina 1]]

Valentina: "//Have you read your Emails yet? Although judging from my current impression of you i'd be suprised if hadn't. So... Was the email from my Husband or from our Management Team?//" Yourself: [[Your Husband->Your Husband 2]] Yourself: [[The Management Team->The Management Team 2]]

Valentina: "//Well, I'm suprised, you've actually done something productive today. There's a meeting with some Interviewers later and myself and Zack have decided to let you talk to them. However if I find you in this state again then you can forget it, So shape up...//" Yourself: "[[Thank you for the oppurtunity, I won't let you down!]]" "[[Okay, Thanks.]]"

Valentina: "//What a suprise, you haven't even read your emails yet... Well me and my Husband have a meeting later with some Interviewers so we'll be gone awhile. I need this [[Report]] checked and sent by the time we get back. Yourself: "[[It shall be done straight away.]]" Yourself: "[[Okay, I'll do it.]]"

Valentina: "//Make sure that you don't!//" [[The Interview's]]

Valentina gives you a scowl and walks away quickly. [[The Interview's]]

The Report looks more like an CIA dossier than a Management Report. A lot of the text and information has thick black lines running through them and the ones that don't seem to make no sense either. <<return "the management team">>

Valentina: "//Make sure it is.//" [[Get to work]] [[Don't get to work]]

Valentina: "//Good.//" [[Get to work]] [[Don't get to work]]

Valentina: "//Indeed it was Lucy, I may of found someone who actually knows what their doing in this place. There's a meeting with some Interviewers later and myself and Zack have decided to let you talk to them. Make sure you're prepared for them, they can be brutal sometimes.//" Yourself: [[Thank you for the oppurtunity, I won't let you down!]]

Valentina: "//No... Maybe I have the wrong impression of you Lucy... There's a meeting with some Interviewers later and myself and Zack have decided to let you talk to them. However i'll be watching you closely.//" Yourself: [[Thank you for the oppurtunity, I won't let you down!]] Yourself: [[Okay, Thanks.]]

Zack Tresler is a presidential candidate that seemed to come out of nowhere, his history is unknown. <<return "emails">>

Jill Tresler: //Ah, Hello there, you must be Lucy. I was told you would be conducting the Interviews for the Campaign Canvasser position. Although you will be in full control of the interviews and who gets hired, I will be monitoring you and logging your progress.// Lucy: Okay, I'm ready to start when you are! Jill Tresler: //Which Candidate would you like to Interview first?// [[Chad Flannigan]] [[Mary Pontoon]] [[Jack Star]]

You open up the report and begin to copy its contents onto your computer, this doesn't take too long as it is mostly censored and you're working quickly so that you may please Valentina. Thanks for playing this demo of Political Suicide. Please could you complete the survey provided below. [[Survey!|https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/V3DV8T2]]

You boot minesweeper back up and start to mindlessly click your mouse, you wonder for a second how and why you managed to get this Job even though you seem to be so demotivated and uninterested in the position. This thought however is quickly struck from your brain as a message from Valentina comes through. Valentina: //I checked with accounts and it seems you still haven't submitted the report, I need it done NOW! You are seriously undermining my view on you and if I don't see any improvement then something will have to be done to change your attitude. [[Get to work]]

I am a very outgoing, friendly and sociable person. I have been following Mr. Tresler's political campaign since the beginning and am very eager to be a part of it. [[Interview|Interview Chad]] <<return "The Interview's">>

The main thing that you need to know about me is that I love Cats! Like seriously love cats, I have over thirty cats at home and am constantly finding new ones on the street to add to my collection. I really need this Job as my cat's are starting to run out of food and I don't have the money to buy any more. [[Interview|Interview Mary]] <<return "The Interview's">>

I follow political campaign's and their leaders very closely and have a fascination for the mind and personal life of Zack Tresler specifically. There's something about him that I can't quite seem to place and i'm sure theres more to him than meets the eye. [[Interview|Interview Jack]] <<return "The Interview's">>

Lucy: Why do you think you would excel in this position? Chad: I believe I would excel as being a part of a Political Campaign is something I have always wanted to do, Everything i've done in my life has led to this moment and I promise to put my all into anything thrown at me. [[Continue Interview|Continue Chad 1]] [[End Interview]] <<back>>

Lucy: Why do you think you would excel in this position? Mary: I would excel because I have a lot of passion... mainly for [[cats]] but I feel like I could transfer some of that passion to this Job also. Not all of it... Just some of it.

Lucy: Finally, Do you have any previous background in working for a political campaign? Chad: I have had a few internships at multiple campaigns in the past few years.

Lucy: What is your opinion of Zack Tresler? Mary: He seems genuine enough, I don't know too much about his current policies but he seems just as good as the other candidates to me. One thing I do really like about him though is his looks... do you think he loves cat's too? [[Continue Interview|Continue Mary 2]] [[End Interview]] <<back>>

Lucy: Finally, Do you have any previous background in working for a political campaign? Mary: None at all, but this job is all about social ability and being able to convince others to support your campaign. This is something I do all the time with my cats, I talk to them and am always convincing Mr. Snuffles to use the cat toilet instead of my bed. [[End Interview]] <<back>>

Lucy: What is your opinion of Zack Tresler? Jack: Very mixed, I believe in his policies but I feel as though it is a facade for something more sinister. I've been told many times that I am crazy for having these ideals but I always stick to my gut and it's telling me there's something off about him. I'd be happy to tell you more about this! *You look to Jill and she gives you a slight glare [[Continue Interview|Continue Jack 2]] [[End Interview]] [[Ask about Zack]] <<back>>

Lucy: Finally, Do you have any previous background in working for a political campaign?

The domestic cat (Latin: Felis catus) is a small, typically furry, carnivorous mammal. They are often called house cats when kept as indoor pets or simply cats when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines. Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and for their ability to hunt vermin. There are more than 70 cat breeds, though different associations proclaim different numbers according to their standards. Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with a strong flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans. Cats, despite being solitary hunters, are a social species and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (mewing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting), as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language. Cats have a high breeding rate. Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as registered pedigree pets, a hobby known as cat fancy. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by neutering, as well as the abandonment of former household pets, has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, requiring population control. In certain areas outside cats' native range, this has contributed, along with habitat destruction and other factors, to the extinction of many bird species. Cats have been known to extirpate a bird species within specific regions and may have contributed to the extinction of isolated island populations. Cats are thought to be primarily responsible for the extinction of 33 species of birds, and the presence of feral and free-ranging cats makes some otherwise suitable locations unsuitable for attempted species reintroduction. Since cats were venerated in ancient Egypt, they were commonly believed to have been domesticated there, but there may have been instances of domestication as early as the Neolithic from around 9,500 years ago (7,500 BC). A genetic study in 2007 concluded that domestic cats are descended from Near Eastern wildcats, having diverged around 8,000 BC in the Middle East. A 2016 study found that leopard cats were undergoing domestication independently in China around 5,500 BC, though this line of partially domesticated cats leaves no trace in the domesticated populations of today. As of a 2007 study, cats are the second most popular pet in the US by number of pets owned, behind freshwater fish. In a 2010 study they were ranked the third most popular pet in the UK, after fish and dogs, with around 8 million being owned. This was all included in your Candidate's CV, i'm not sure why but she seems to have a very strange fascination / addiction to Feline Culture. <<back>>

Lucy: Why do you have such a negative opinion on Zack? Jack: I've researched him extensively and I found nothing concrete about what he did before he started running for President. Anyone else would need years and years of experience before being able to run for such a position and the background checks would be extensive. He seems to have come out of nowhere and the fact I know so little about him makes me uneasy. *You look at Jill again and this time she motions for you to stop [[Continue Questioning]] <<back>>

Lily: Is there anything else you can tell me? Jack: There is one thing I noticed when researching him that troubled me. His Family Tree doesn't seem to go any further than his current wife and daughter except for one mention of his brother I found on a Darkweb Forum, he has never mentioned a brother nor has he made any information available about his family. This is strange as it is general assumption that once you start running for such a position, you're family will come under scutiny from the public and media. *Jill walks over to you, puts her hand on your shoulder and whispers in your ear Jill: //I suggest you cease this line of questioning, he is clearly not right for the position and his theories are similar to those of mad man.// <<back>>
