Hi! Been playing for a couple hours now and the interface kinda hung up on me when I last pushed a "question (50/50)" button. Don't know if it helps. Maybe the thread got a bit long so I thought I'd better post it so it doesn't get lost or anything. This is A LOT OF FUN!! I have to say. THANK YOU!

Guide / Emotions.
I tell him all about what I just read: About the elegant guide and ...
Wait a minute "elegant" - he's part of the clergy. Some spiritual guide. I should really find out why I wanted to find stuff out about him.
I figure I found out something about him and got suspicious?
(Very Likely | 10) Yes, and...
... and then I found out he might be an ex-con?
(Very Likely | 10) Yes, and...
... and then I found out they "sacrificed" the orphans?
(Sure Thing | 10) Yes, and...
... and that it was during mass and had to do with "technical failures"?
(Sure Thing | 8) Yes +Twist: NPC / Appears
Confident bar fly.
I tell the judge about what happened and I'm all emotional and stuff.
Some drunk guy passes by. Does he greet the judge?
(Somewhat Likely | 7) Yes +Twist: Item / Ends the scene
So some comic relief I guess - I tell the judge about what happened. A bit incoherently because I'm so angry and sad about what I've found out.
Then some drunk guy drives by and is all like: "Hey wassup judge!??"
))
New scene then (this is really fun! I've been waiting for something like this for ages - probably without even knowing; It doesn't have the limitations of an "make your own adventure" book or even of a computer game. That's so good!)

A short scene where we see a cleric in his elegant vehicle sitting between two women who seem to be his relatives, mediating between the two. Seems to be a cut-scene. Hopefully we'll find out more later.
Cold afterlife.
Flexible immortal.
Reject the theatrical prisoner.
We see here one immortal who is denied "cold afterlife" - yet again.

It didn't happen just now?
(Somewhat Likely | 1) No, and...
Did he just become free?
(50/50 | 9) Yes
Because he was dead?
(50/50 | 8) Yes
Now that's astonishing!
So was he free before he became a slave?
(Somewhat Likely | 9) Yes
Do they pray now?
(Somewhat Likely | 6) Yes
Does everybody pray?
(50/50 | 8) Yes +Twist: Organization / Helps the hero

(Likely | 7) Yes
But now they'll go and tell everybody to get all the fame?
(Very Likely | 6) Yes, but...
They still want something else from him?
(Very Likely | 5) No, but...
Now he's actually immortal?
(50/50 | 10) Yes, and... +Twist: Emotional event / Changes the goal

Oh the public already knows?

So they get cosmic energy through rifts?
(Very Likely | 7) Yes

(Very Likely | 6) Yes, but...
They can see it like on a big screen?
(Very Likely | 9) Yes
The radio?
(Very Likely | 8) Yes +Twist: PC / Alters the location
Good - he gets revived and it's all like: "It's a miracle". He talks to his manager while they bring him out and vows to rehabilitate the guys who gave him money, now that he's free. Those guys happen to be part some mafia like organization which is a bit like the Knight Templars or the Jedi.
We also get to know that there was some kind of "accident" during the trials when a rift opened and the energy that came through that rift caused some kind of disaster.
I also thought: Jedi - Mafia - Black Sun. Does it have to do with energy they get through black holes (= black sun)?
(50/50 | 10) Yes, and...
You can travel through black holes (rifts)?
(50/50 | 4) No
"Event horizon"?

Is he in fact bad at it?

His corresponding attribute isn't that high either?

(50/50 | 2) No
And the other one?
(50/50 | 9) Yes

(Somewhat Unlikely | 3) No
Soul-ar power?
(Somewhat Unlikely | 2) No
They get angry at times?

Btw: Talking "Atlantis" - is this under the water?

There's an ocean?
(50/50 | 1) No, and...
it'S actually in space?
(50/50 | 9) Yes

"Sir, I have nothing to do with it! I was at the convicts data library when suddenly hell broke loose!"
Does he believe me?
(Somewhat Unlikely | 7) Yes, but...
Guide / Emotions.
I tell him all about what I just read: About the elegant guide and ...
Wait a minute "elegant" - he's part of the clergy. Some spiritual guide. I should really find out why I wanted to find stuff out about him.
I figure I found out something about him and got suspicious?
(Very Likely | 10) Yes, and...
... and then I found out he might be an ex-con?
(Very Likely | 10) Yes, and...
... and then I found out they "sacrificed" the orphans?
(Sure Thing | 10) Yes, and...
... and that it was during mass and had to do with "technical failures"?
(Sure Thing | 8) Yes +Twist: NPC / Appears
Confident bar fly.
I tell the judge about what happened and I'm all emotional and stuff.
Some drunk guy passes by. Does he greet the judge?
(Somewhat Likely | 7) Yes +Twist: Item / Ends the scene
So some comic relief I guess - I tell the judge about what happened. A bit incoherently because I'm so angry and sad about what I've found out.
Then some drunk guy drives by and is all like: "Hey wassup judge!??"
))New scene then (this is really fun! I've been waiting for something like this for ages - probably without even knowing; It doesn't have the limitations of an "make your own adventure" book or even of a computer game. That's so good!)
Wealthy vehicle.
Is it the judge's vehicle?
(Somewhat Likely | 8) Yes
Edit: Maybe it's a new character? A second PC maybe?

He has to mediate?
(50/50 | 10) Yes, and... +Twist: Item / Ends the scene
A short scene where we see a cleric in his elegant vehicle sitting between two women who seem to be his relatives, mediating between the two. Seems to be a cut-scene. Hopefully we'll find out more later.
Cold afterlife.
Flexible immortal.
Reject the theatrical prisoner.
We see here one immortal who is denied "cold afterlife" - yet again.

It didn't happen just now?
(Somewhat Likely | 1) No, and...
Did he just become free?
(50/50 | 9) Yes
Because he was dead?
(50/50 | 8) Yes
Now that's astonishing!
So was he free before he became a slave?
(Somewhat Likely | 9) Yes
Do they pray now?
(Somewhat Likely | 6) Yes
Does everybody pray?
(50/50 | 8) Yes +Twist: Organization / Helps the hero

(Likely | 3) No
Okay. It's a miracle - they revived him. And it actually was them who did it?
(Likely | 7) Yes
But now they'll go and tell everybody to get all the fame?
(Very Likely | 6) Yes, but...
They still want something else from him?
(Very Likely | 5) No, but...
Now he's actually immortal?
(50/50 | 10) Yes, and... +Twist: Emotional event / Changes the goal
Clear the wealthy underground pariahs.
Recruit.
So wealthy underground pariahs who could be cleared: Maybe Some of the clerics involved in the "orphanage incident" hid and could now be cleared of their charges by some "recruit", who emotionally vowed to help them, because they just saved his life?

He actually likes them?

Is he the hero?
(50/50 | 9) Yes
They made the clergy revive him?
(Very Likely | 5) No, but...
Is his manager one of them?

So he's sponsored by mob money?
(Sure Thing | 9) Yes
Kay, that was a tough one.
So the fantasy natural disaster is a person?

Who he?
Hypochondriac aristocrat.
Why is he "the fantasy natural disaster"?

The war is the disaster?
(Likely | 4) No +Twist: NPC / Appears
Deceitful banker.

So they get cosmic energy through rifts?
(Very Likely | 7) Yes

(Very Likely | 6) Yes, but...
They can see it like on a big screen?
(Very Likely | 9) Yes
The radio?
(Very Likely | 8) Yes +Twist: PC / Alters the location
Good - he gets revived and it's all like: "It's a miracle". He talks to his manager while they bring him out and vows to rehabilitate the guys who gave him money, now that he's free. Those guys happen to be part some mafia like organization which is a bit like the Knight Templars or the Jedi.
We also get to know that there was some kind of "accident" during the trials when a rift opened and the energy that came through that rift caused some kind of disaster.
I also thought: Jedi - Mafia - Black Sun. Does it have to do with energy they get through black holes (= black sun)?
(50/50 | 10) Yes, and...
You can travel through black holes (rifts)?
(50/50 | 4) No
"Event horizon"?

Is he in fact bad at it?
(50/50 | 10) Yes, and...
His corresponding attribute isn't that high either?
(50/50 | 10) Yes, and... +Twist: Item / Ends the scene
Some kind of a cliffhanger here. Kinda like the fast cuts - still wanna know: d4?
(50/50 | 2) No
And the other one?
(50/50 | 9) Yes
Kay, so it's:
9 = 1+1+4+1+2
Well, that would actually have been enough
But we'll see ...New scene:
Enduring crash site.
Interesting.
Intelligent local legend.
Edit: No NPC yet.
Is "Enduring" the name of the ship?
(Likely | 10) Yes, and...
It - in fact - crashed?
(Sure Thing | 8) Yes
Any survivors?
(50/50 | 7) Yes +Twist: PC / Alters the location
Mobile morgue.
Okay, wanna know how's it going on, so I'll try and get the interface going again.
