You stare (though "squint" would be a more accurate description) at the light and plan your next move.\n\nBruised and bloodied faces are seen running through the crowds.\n\n[[Scream profanities at the light.|Curse]]<<set $left = 1>>\n[[Dance! Dance like you've never danced before!|Dance]]\n

You scream all the obscenities you know, and a few that you're pretty sure you just invented.\n\nYour actions have attracted the attention of two large men who begin to walk towards you. You notice a shotgun in a nearby corner.\n\nTwo protestors die after being hit with live ammunition.\n\n[[Grab the shotgun.|To arms]]\n[[Try to escape them.|Flee]]\n

Sweat splatters across your body, and the air is loaded with a fusion of smells that fill you with emotions careening between exhilaration and disgust.\n\n[[Push your way through the crowd.|Push]]\n[[Scream and jump with the crowd.|Jump]]<<set $left = 0>><<set $right = 0>>

You and your friends continue onto the next bar.

You try to reply before realising that you have no idea where you are. Even if you did, your reception has just dropped to zero bars. Time to move.\n\n<<display 'Keep on moving'>>

<<display 'Moving left'>>

An intense light slams into your face, blinding you for a few moments.\n\n<<display 'Staring into the sun'>>

After being escorted out of the bar thanks to your outrageous behaviour, you bump into your friends. They have been trying to track you down for a while now and are ready to hit the next bar.\n\nAs you move on and walk past the bar's window, you look at the TV inside which is reporting the protests in the Ukraine after the President announced plans to become closer with Moscow as opposed to the European Union.\n\n<<display 'Time to leave'>>

You accidentally let off a gigantic belch into the gentleman's face. He is clearly unimpressed.\n\nIt's discovered that one of the protest leaders has gone missing.\n\n[[Apologise.|Oops]]\n[[Take a swing at him before he does the same to you.|Duel]]\n<<if $left eq 0>>[[Run away!|Moving left]]<<endif>>

You drink the water. As far as water goes, it was certainly water. You feel better.\n\n[[Talk to the man next to you.|Belch]]\n<<if $left eq 0>>[[Move around.|Moving left]]<<endif>>

A woman offers you some bottled water. "You need this," she says.\n\nMore people appear at the protests. Thousands upon thousands.\n\n[[Drink the water.|Drink]]\n[[Decline and talk to the man next to you.|Belch]]\n

You begin to introduce yourself, only to vomit a little as you do so. It does not make a good first impression, and they quickly walk away.\n\n234 protestors have been jailed.\n\n<<if $left eq 1>><<display 'My friends'>><<endif>><<if $left eq 0>><<display 'Moving left'>><<endif>>

Zero Bars

You attempt to flee the men, stumbling through the obstacle course that your own feet have become.\n\nFortunately, another altercation attracts their attention.\n\nTwo protestors die after being hit with live ammunition.\n\n<<if $right eq 1>><<display 'My friends'>><<endif>><<if $right eq 0>><<display 'Right'>><<endif>>

The streets are burning.\n\n[["Who cares?"|The world]]\n[["That sucks.|The world]]\n[["I hope things get better."|The world]]\n[["Oh well."|The world]]\n

You pull yourself up and rest your elbows on the wooden surface above.\n\n<<display 'Water'>>

You take a swipe at the man, who dodges with ease, mainly because your swipe was about three meters off.\n\nHe prepares to respond, be before he can you're both picked up and thrown outside.\n\nTen police officers are killed during a violent clash between them and protestors.\n\n<<display 'Thrown out'>>

Your phone buzzes in your pocket.\n\nViolence has broken out at the protests.\n\n[[Check phone.|The message]]\n[[Ignore it.|Keep on moving]]\n

Your friends bump into you. They have been trying to track you down for a while now and are ready to hit the next bar.\n\nAs you move on and walk past the bar's window, you look at the TV inside which is reporting the protests in the Ukraine after the President announced plans to become closer with Moscow as opposed to the European Union.\n\n<<display 'Time to leave'>>

You apologise. He gives you one final look of anger before turning his attention back to his drink.\n\nTen police officers are killed during a violent clash between them and protestors.\n\n[[Talk to the attractive person on the other side of you.|Crash, burn]]\n<<if $left eq 1>>[[Move around.|Moving again]]<<endif>><<if $left eq 0>>[[Move around.|Moving left]]<<endif>>

You attempt to push your way through the crowd, but it proves to be too thick. So thick, in fact, that your efforts send you rocketing to the back of the crowd.\n\nYou also notice, judging by the difficulty you face trying to stand up, that your legs have seemingly turned into jelly. You stumble around, eventually stopping and propping yourself up against a wall.\n\n<<display 'Ring ring'>>\n

You turn to the left. An intense light slams into your face, blinding you for a few moments.\n\nPolice begin making arrests.\n\n[[Stare the light down.|Staring into the sun]]\n<<if $right eq 0>>[[Run to the right.|Right]]<<endif>>\n

You begin to walk to the right. Unfortunately, the rest of your body disagrees with this decision, and you quickly find yourself on the floor.\n\nPolice are seen brutally attacking a group of protesters.\n\n[[Just lay down here for a while.|Lay lady lay]]\n[[Pull yourself up.|Pull]]<<set $right = 1>>

You inadvertently perform the greatest Ian Curtis impersonation the world has ever seen, before tiring out your legs.\n\nTwo protestors die after being hit with live ammunition.\n\n<<if $right eq 1>><<display 'My friends'>><<endif>><<if $right eq 0>>[[Stumble to the right.|Right]]<<endif>>\n

You run towards and grab the bright orange shotgun, and spin wildly around to take aim at the two approaching men.\n\nThis doesn't quite work out, as a plastic cord attached to the gun snaps you back and severely limits your aim. You need to come up with a backup plan.\n\nViolence continues to escalate at the barricades.\n\n[[Time to throw down. Right now.|Thrown out]]\n[[Run away.|Flee]]\n

You scream with all the power your lungs can muster and thrust your body, fist first, into the air. You close your eyes and let the energy take you over.\n\nWhen you open your eyes, you discover that you've somehow found yourself behind the crowd, jumping and screaming on your own. \n\nYou also notice, judging by the difficulty you face trying to stand up, that your legs have seemingly turned into jelly. You stumble around, eventually stopping and propping yourself up against a wall.\n\n[[Stumble to the left.|Left]]\n[[Fall to the right.|Right]]\n

You become briefly lost in your own pockets until you eventually locate your phone. You unlock the screen and read the message.\n\n"Where are you??? We cant fine you"\n\nIt's from one of your friends.\n\n[[Reply to the message.|Reply]]\n[[Ignore it.|Keep on moving]]\n

It turns out the floor is not terribly comfortable. Not only that, all the rogue feet are making it dangerous.\n\nLuckily, one pair of feet belongs to someone who helps you up. You rest your elbows on the wooden surface above.\n\n<<display 'Water'>>\n

Two options appear obvious to you, mainly because you don't feel that you could manage anything else right now.\n\n[[Stumble to the left.|Left]]\n[[Fall to the right.|Right]]\n
