A Tale of Survival (CYOA) Ep. 1

Rules: It's simple really, I tell a story and give possible options. I will give each event anywhere between a few hours to no longer than a whole day. There will be five choices labeled A-E with E being an "other" option. If you choose E, please explain you're choice and if it gets enough support from others' it will be chosen.

Plot: The plot will be different each episode and each episode ends when I believe the character from the current episode has endured enough to gain the right to survive or if the character dies due to poor answer selection.

Stats: The character for the episode has a certain amount of HP or chances. The HP or chances goes down by one everytime an answer that is chosen is horrificly wrong. The character can also recover HP through the right answers being chosen. Should a neautral answer be chosen, the effects can vary.

So anybody wanna play?

If so, the first episode plot will be revealed in an hour or so.

Hehe, I'm not even sure if anybody wants to play, but here goes.

You wake up feeling water washing over your back and the sand on the back of your palms. You scan to your left and right and see you are on some island. You then feel a sharp pain on your side. Turning your attention towards it, you notice there is a large gash bleeding profusely on the left side of your waist. As the waves wash over you, the sting intensifes as the water makes contact with the gash. The harsh cold wind is also cauing you discomfort as it blows sapping away your body heat with each pass. You do not remember how you got here, only that you were on a cruise ship before this all happened. From here, you decide to:

A. Continue to lie on the shore for a while longer.
B. Walk along the coast to see what you can find.
C. Move inland and leave the coast.
D. Try to swim out to see and hope for the best
E. Other(As mentioned before, please explain)

Current HP: 2

How on earth
to make this work?

E) Shout to see if there's anyone else.

I support Neostriker's option E as well

It's simple really. I'll just wait a few hours and whichever option out of the given is chosen by the community the most will be the one that I will continue to write the story about.

C Is the most likely logical survival tactic that would be the most fruitful. You probably need to cover up the gash and some leaves may be suitable for that, or at least contain beneficial saps. Unless there are remnants of civilization on the shore such as rags or anything else, staying there is less beneficial, however movement should be minimal to decrease blood flow. I'd say C with a mix of E. We should apply pressure to our sides. Contrary, the cold is good for us because it reduces blood flow and allows our gash to slowly heal. Lack of strain in movement will hopefully prevent the gash from opening. But if it is seriously bleeding profusely, then we may be out of options.

C:\Command\Look Around.

No, I mean, how the fuck are we going to get ourselves out of this mess?

We don't, we are dead. GG.

Don't say that mang. We got this.

I vote option B, cause hey, maybe you were shipwrecked and you happened to have a survival kit in you luggage.

You scan the area as you get up. You look the the open sea and see a ship aflame in the roiling waters. You clutch your gash in pain as you begin to shout. You look about as you continue to shout to no avail. There is only wreckage and debris that have drifted ashore along side you. Strangely enough, you see no one else around. Thinking what is best, you look to the island and begin to walk slowly. As you near the grass away from the shore, the overcast weather finally let's out it's load of rain. It is heavy and it pelts your skin similar to small stones falling on you. As you continue to walk on the field, you see a forest. From here you:

A.Continue into the forest
B.Stay in the grassy area and set up camp
C.Turn back and head for the shore
D.Cry in despair and wait
E.Other

I've decided that since E is other, if you have a suggestion like neo's it can be combined with any of the ther four choices.

Anyway, Current HP: 2

Option B, it is the most reasonable thing to do.

You decide to stay in the grassy area. The rain continues to pelt down so you look for a place of shelter. Noticing a large rock from a distance, you slowly move towards that direction. The rock is lodged in the gound at an angle where you can crawl underneath part of it. You situate yourself and begin to think of the events that lead to this point. One moment, you were enjoying a martini on the sun deack, the next you are here dying. You are still unsure and hazy as to what happened. Meanwhile, the gash continues to bleed but not as profusely as before. You feel the effect of the lost of blood and you feel very impaired. Leaning back to ease the nausia, you feel something soft against your back. There is a strange, green, luminous moss that is growing on the rock that you did not notice. You:

A.Eat the moss without hesitation
B.Examine it carefull before trying to see if it's edible.
C.Leave it alone and wait until the rain dies down.
D.Exit the rock and try to find a better shelter.
E.Other

Current HP: 1(Due to the bleeding gash)

Again the option B is the most logical choice. Eating something without checking, even if you know nothing about it, is bad.

So, option B

You examine the strange moss carefully. There seems to be nothing wrong with it so you scrape some off the rock. You hazard a taste and it has a strange flavor. It is fefinitely not edible. Taking a chance, you put it on the gash and hope for the best. It stings just for an instant before you here a noise. It is coming from behind the rock. The rain continues to poor mercilessly and the sound it makes impacting with the rock does not sound similar to the noise you just heard now. From here you:

A.Exit the rock and see what the noise is
B.Exit the rock and run from the noise
C.Shout "Who's there?"
D.Stay in the rock and wait it out
E.Other

Current HP: 1

And Merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate everyone!

Option E. Peek carefully from behind the rock.

This is actually something like Option A but less dangerous and more logical

You peek around the corner and do not see anything. As you prepare to brush it off, you here the noise once more. It is coming from right above the rock and you duck your head back into safety. Listening more intently, you here scraping and grunting. You then see a pair of legs right infront of you. The rest of the body you cannot see due to the rock. You look carefully and you notice there is a knife on the left leg of the mystirious figure. He kneels down with his back still turned and examines something on the grass. You peek around to see what he is looking at and notice it is your blood that he is examining. He puts his right hand on his hip and holsters a handgun as he begins to turn around. From here you:

A.Let him turn around and raise your arms. Maybe he won't shoot you.
B.Grab the knife on his left leg and attempt to stab him.
C.Tackle him from behind.
D.Attempt to run from the rock.
E.Other

Current HP: 1

Option A. In our hero's current physical, and mental state; taking on this armed individual in a fight will probably result in an unfavourable outcome. Trying to outrun them probably won't work from a lack of energy due to blood loss mixed in with various other trama.

Are you a man or a woman? Also, option A.

Option A it is.
