Cool cool, cool cool cool. So, uh... how does this work exactly? What's the plan here? We do a bit of a script, then at certain points, the next person inputs a command and the script continues as determined by the command. (Example: Honstlar is falling off a cliff, then he breaks the fourth wall and asks what he should use to stop falling, Person says "Use hat as hang glider", then the next part of the script features Honstlar flying through the skys.)

Oh, okay. I was thinking something more along the lines of these wiki textventures. We would start it on the forum, and then make a finished, playable version on the wiki.

Maybe we could compromise. Each person posting could post the results of a few options. Like so: Honstlar is about to fall off a cliff. Whattayadoo? Use hat as hang glider FallUse hat as hang gliderYou flies through the skies. Where do you land? Over here Over there Dennis FallYou fall and die. GAME OVER. Over hereYou land over here and win a million dollars. What do you do? Buy a goat Buy some staplers Over thereYou land over there, but it's too far, and you find yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere. GAME OVER. DennisDennis is the worst. You gotta get outta there. But how? Run Run faster

Hawaii Hop in the Pillmobile, my friends, we're takin' off to Huawei! Er, Samsung. Er, Hawaii. We are in the Pillmobile. You just need to press the Pillmobile-turning-into button. Right. {presses the button} Hey, that doesn't look like the Pillmobile-turning-into button. That looks like the time-travel-to-the-stone-age button. Oh no! Why did I make the two buttons look so similar? {Cut to an exterior shot of the Pillquarters. It abruptly voips away. Cut to the same area in the stone age. The Pillquarters voips into where it was before.} Well, this isn't the best Hawaii vacation of all time. What do we does now? Go outsideStay inside Another time period We'll go to a whole nother time period! The stone age perchance! Sound'ms great! Just mash the time-travel-to-the-stone-age button and we'll be right there! {presses the button} It's so convenient that I had this absurdly specific button installed in the Pillquarters for this very scenario! {Cut to an exterior shot of the Pillquarters. It abruptly voips away. Cut to the same area in the stone age. The Pillquarters voips into where it was before.} Great times! Now whadda we do? Go outsideStay inside Cheat Commandos: Reinforcementsventures Let us partake in the viewment of Reinforcements's amusing shenanigans! {presses the remote control}{Blue Laser pops out of the TV} What in partakement is that thing?! BLUE LASER: Finally I have escaped this entertaiment viewing device! Now I can take over the world! {Blue Laser shoots everyone, killing them instantly}GAME OVER Sun Fights CXVIII: The Next One (Until The Next One) We shall view the tale of fights among the suns! That's right, the 118th Sun Fights movie! Hooray! That sounds like the greatest thing ever! {A plane crashes into the Pillquarters and everyone dies}GAME OVER

This script is going pretty slowly. It's hard to come up with responses to every choice. Want to go back to your original idea? We do a bit of a script, then at certain points, the next person inputs a command and the script continues as determined by the command. (Example: Honstlar is falling off a cliff, then he breaks the fourth wall and asks what he should use to stop falling, Person says "Use hat as hang glider", then the next part of the script features Honstlar flying through the skys.) Or should we proceed as planned?

So, I'll start, then you choose one of the options below and continue from there, then give me some options, and I'll do the same thing. Does that sound good? It's like the same as before, but without multiple responses. (And we can still make it a wiki textventure at some point by adding new responses later on.) {Fade in to the exterior of Honstlar's house. The sun rises and a rooster crows. Cut to Honstlar in bed.} {sits up} Hey, today's the first day of the day of our 7,256th meeting! I gotta get to the place and do the thing! {looks at the viewer} Or should I...?

take a vacation

To put a twist on things (and so I'm not always coming up with all the responses and you deciding the choices), maybe we can both add responses after our choices. So instead of "take a vacation", you'd write "take a vacation {response} {my choices}". And then I'd choose one of those and do the same thing. That's what I was envisioning, anyway. It'll make it more interesting. What do you think?
Good news! We're takin' a trip to elsewhere! Where is elsewhere? Hop in the Pillmobile, my friends, we're takin' off to Huawei! Er, Samsung. Er, Hawaii. We are in the Pillmobile. You just need to press the Pillmobile-turning-into button. Right. {presses the button} Hey, that doesn't look like the Pillmobile-turning-into button. That looks like the time-travel-to-the-stone-age button. Oh no! Why did I make the two buttons look so similar? And why do we have such absurdly specific buttons installed in the Pillquarters that we never use?! {A colorful portal opens in front of the Pillquarters, and it gets sucked inside. It travels through a weird time vortex until it ends up in the stone age.} Well, this isn't the best Hawaii vacation of all time. What do we does now? Explore Try to find a way back

Just to reiterate (in case you didn't read my earlier idea), I think we should both add responses after we choose a choice. That way it will feel more cyclical (with both of us writing instead of just me), and will probably be more fun for everyone involved. (So in your next post, you would come up with a response to "Try to find a way back" with choices for me, then I'd choose a choice and write a response, continue ad nauseam. Or... ad episode-finish-eam.)

Oh, sorry 'bout that. try to find a way back Well, we did come out of a Technicolor portal thingy, and according to Turner's Law, every Technicolor portal thingy has an equal and opposite portal thingy. So, all we gotta do is find said portal and it should take us back! Well, can't argue with that kind a logic. We'll examine the perimeter, but first we'll need to disguise the Pillmobile. We can't have ancient man discover aspirin a million years too early.

Those are both good ideas... {in a fake, overly exaggerated tone, staring at the camera} but whiiich should we do first? I already said which one we should do first. Shh, you're ruining the fun! Look for an escapeDisguise the Pillmobile

Disguise the Pillmobile
Okay, we'll need a fur pelt, some round stones, a medium sized log and a crap load of bones. Or... We could just use the remote to disguise it. Oh right, I completely forgot. Heh heh. {Greg pulls out the Pillmobile's remote} Now let's see... Which button changes the Pillmobile's shape?
The green button The blue button The brown button The yellow button The brellow button The polka-dotted button

The brellow button{The Pillmobile morphs into the shape of an unremarkable boulder.} Perfect! It's remarkable how unremarkable that boulder is. Truly the pinnacle of unremarkability. All right, so now that that's dealt with, 's time to look for a portal! But which way sh'we go? Toward the volcanoToward the villageToward the jungle

Toward the jungle
How's bou' that jungle over there? It looks nice and... possible-portal-havely.

Good choice! Portals are all the time hanging out inside jungles. {They enter the jungle.} Oh no, it seems like there's a fork in the path. How terribly inconvenient! Tell us, should we go along the left path or the right path? Come on, that's not an interesting choice at all. Let's just go along the left path until we come across a choice that actually feels meaningful. {They keep walking until a hungry tiger blocks the path.} Is that an interesting choice? Yeah, that'd definitely qualify. Let's have some otherworldly beings tell us what type thing to do next. Fight itTalk to itJump it

{Honstlar kicks the tiger and hurts his foot.} SRMX12, smash it over the head with your laptop. I'm not doing that to the Prisma One! Greg, can you draw a sword in your magic sketchbook? I don't approve of hurting animals. This tiger did nothing but follow its instincts. {Gfd eats the tiger.} Don't worry, there's enough cat food in there to keep him company. He'll live a good long life before the stomach acid kicks in. I should've just drawn a sword. Has anyone found that portal from earlier? Hey, there's one! Enter the portalDo not enter the portal
