How actions work in this quest
Due to being depressed as shit, you are unable to function like a normal person. Each action will be determined by a roll. Be careful of what you choose to do. Don't overexert yourself. If you fail, you are pulled even deeper into despair! Past actions will affect the outcomes of future actions.

Action roll
1-49: Fail
50-100: Succes

>>5478504
Failure.

"No, I think I'll sleep more..."

And so you doze off.

You wake up, feeling slightly more rested. It's well passed noon now. You try and make yourself go back to sleep, but it's no use. You've slept as much as you could. There's not much to do laying in bed so you get up and stand.

What should you do now?
>Play video games. Yay...
>Get dressed. My sleeping clothes aren't exactly what you'd describe "pajamas".
>Brush your teeth. It's not too late to do that.
>Make your bed. I should at least tidy up a bit.

No, you still don't feel like brushing your teeth. Why do I need to do it when I get up anyways? Isn't once before bed enough?

Ugh, I don't even want to leave my room. You boot up your computer and play Bloons Tower Defense 4. Time passes, and you milk out any ounce of enjoyment left in that game.

Though short-lived, your depression has been relieved a little.

Nah, don't feel like it. Not really that much of a necessity.

Tip: The failure threshold increased on this action because you do not consider it an essential task. I mean heck, a lot of people don't make their beds. Luckily, because this was not an essential task, your depression has not increased. For now...

Next post coming soon.

Oops messed up the hair scales. It's closest to red ginger so I suppose we'll go with that. Also rerolling for skin color.

Next post will be eventually...

Eric is 5'6, 180 lbs at around age 15-16, is ginger, ugly, and gets abused at home while also being a bully at school. This ain't looking good. I'll admit to not expecting a character appearance breakdown, but it makes sense if body image issues are something Eric also has to deal with.

Yeah sorry just got depressed for a bit.

>>5505361
Fist bump of solidarity, QM. I can relate.

Alright, let's do this.

>>5481723
You walk into the bathroom in the hall by your bedroom and step on the scale. 180.0 lbs., right to the tenth's place. You turn around and face the mirror. It's hard to ignore the large reflective surface on the wall, and so you stare at the image for a moment. A thick-framed ginger with very short hair and an ugly face stares back. You look away.

You've managed to start your day (kind of), even though it's more than halfway over... What should you do now?

I've been having a hard time thinking of Eric's persona since I've never really dealt with the kind of person who's straight up a bully, which is partly the reason for the delay, so bear with me as I flub along. Gonna try to update at least every other day from now on.

With not much left to do in the day you suppose you'll look up some information for the upcoming school year. Let's see here... Easten High School... school information... ah there we go. School starts on August 10th, Wednesday. Orientation is on August 6th, Saturday, from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Today is July 27th.

You've already worked pretty hard to aquire this info so that's the furthest you'll go, though you don't feel as if you've accomplished anything...

You've completed something a little productive.

Though your blinds cover up most of the light from outside, you can see that the sun is starting to set; it's getting kind of late. What should you do now?

Specifically, the mall. Maybe we can get a few hours in before closing time.

For simplicity's sake I'm changing Eric's grade to be a freshman in high school; him being a sophomore would create too much complexities.

>>5508001
Unfortunately the mall's quite a bit too far away for Eric to walk (or anyone really) so that's not an option. Will reveal a map of sorts once the story develops more :P

You know what? Why don't I go for a walk? You put on your socks and slip on your shoes. Opening the front door and stepping outside, you get a whiff of fresh air... it's too hot outside. Not willing to deal with the unpleasant temperature any longer, you step inside and undo your footwear.

You did... something I guess.

Note on the new dice system:
On actions which have variance in their results, multiple dice may be used. This does not mean, however, the action will be a success, even though some of the die beat the DC. At the same time, beating the DC at all may (or may not) prevent a failure.
