F.R.Theory/Ask to make a police report

Bekahllama:

< [[F.R. Theory]]

Two big guys in police uniforms come out to the house. When they ask you what happened you start to feel really stupid for calling them. You make a report of what happened but the officer who is interviewing you doesn't look like he believes you.

"Do you have any injuries?" one of the officers asks. He looks you up and down, probably gauging how much you weigh. He can see you are clearly bigger than Karen so he must think it's impossible that she would have hit you.

You touch your hand to your head but you don't feel any blood. You had instinctively cleaned up your head in the bathroom so by the time the police got there it doesn't look like much. You pull up your shirt to see if there are any marks where Karen punched you but you don't see anything.

The second officer is talking to Karen to the side but you hear him say "Ma'am, are you okay? Did he hit you or hurt you in any way?" Karen tells the officer you were both fighting and she hit you by accident with the alarm clock.

The officers take down both of your stories but don't make an arrest. You watch as they drive away in the patrol car.

Now Karen is fuming at you.

"It's just like you to do something like this. Just wait until you're asleep cause I'm going to fucking kill you!"

"Damn!" you think. You were sure that by doing the right thing that you would be transported back to the school and to your old life. But now Karen is threatening to kill you!!

You decide to ...

F.R.Theory/Punch the woman anyway

Bekahllama — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:02:21 GMT

Bekahllama:

Relying on Rule Number 1 (stay alive) and Rule Number 2 (increase your physical health) you decide that you might as well retaliate against Karen for that blow to your gut and this sweet gash you're now sporting.

Karen is all the way across the room but you march over and land one of your fists right into her gut. And just for good measure you knee her in the face as she crumples to the ground.

As you revel in your revenge it is as if you are again hurled forward -- the room begins to blur. You think for sure you've won the game as the room is rushing by you.

The room fades to black.

As you open your eyes and start to focus on your surroundings you realize that you're not back in the classroom but you're sitting on a curb, outside and it looks like it's about dusk.

Your arms are pinned behind you and you feel the hard steel of handcuffs binding your wrists.

You look around and you see flashing lights. You turn toward your left and see a police cruiser and an officer talking to Karen. Both of Karen's eyes are blackened and she is crying.

You start to get the feeling that maybe you didn't do what's best for Juan and that you might be stuck in this body forever. Your right butt cheek starts to feel funny and you realize there's something in your back pocket.

You reach into your back pocket with your hands still handcuffed and you realize it's your clicker from the classroom!

You...

F.R.Theory/Act extra loving

<[[F.R. Theory]]

You ignore the fact that there is blood dripping down your head and step over to Karen to try to calm her down. Although you're not sure what Juan would do, you try a little sugar to diffuse the situation. Smiling you say, "Easy, Karen," you tell her softly as you pull her into your arms. "I ''love'' you, and our children, very much. Relax." You kiss her.

Karen looks confused, as if she was preparing for resistance from you. "What?"

"I know you're stressed," you tell her. "Let me relax you. What's ''really'' the matter?"

Karen glares. "Dammit, Juan! Why won't you ever try and argue with me?"

Doing your best to channel what you think Juan would do you respond, "because I love you more than anything in the world and I don't want to fight with you. I just want you to be happy."

In response to your passiveness Karen announces, "That's it! I want a divorce!"

"What!? Why do ''you'' want to get divorced?" you ask Karen, completely confused at this point. You were sure that if you diffused the situation that you would have fulfilled the goals of the game and be transported back to the classroom, but you are still tied to Juan, trying to solve his problems.

"Because, she responds, "I don't want to be married to a wimp like you," she sighs. "You're impossible! You never let me fight. And that's why I want a divorce. Why can't you just be a man and stand up for yourself?" Karen growls as she turns to leave.

Having your, or rather Juan's manhood attacked for being passive and non-violent right after being physically attacked --- Well, you're at a loss what to do. Looking again in your pockets for any clue you feel something you hadn't noticed before.

It's the clicker from the classroom!

Bekahllama: /* Re: F.R. Theory */

well, that very bad if that's only a standard "warning" because it was extremely rude and uncalled for, besides after reading through what he has said and done with others stories it appears i am not the only person who would agree it was very rude. i will continue to work on my story for now but if things like that continue in such a rude way, i'll finish it somewhere else because i don't feel like spending hours of work only to receive rude comments. anyway i would love to hear your ideas and may be able to throw some, if not many of them in with my story as i really only have one or two ideas which can go more then a couple pages at the moment.

i still fully believe that those kind of warnings may be necessary but can easily be dealt with in a much better,less rude fashion. after reading through his other comments i am shocked there is no FAQ page that is easily accessible to provide that kind of information to new users, that would avoid new users of the site reviving comments which they feel are rude and will allow more users to come and actually stay in the long run.

Thanks for contributing. I had intended that to be an ending but drawing it out a little longer wouldn't hurt. :) Nice to know at least one person has read a little so far! -- [[User:Captain.Devonin|Cpt. Devonin]]

Just so you know, there are a couple of ways to revert vandalism. You can click the History tab on the top of the page, select the version that existed before the vandal attack, Edit, and save. Or you can click on the vandal's user name on the Recent Changes page, then click on User Contributions. Every page he's made or editted will have a 'revert' option next to it. Click 'revert' and his editing will be undone. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 05:01, 19 February 2009 (PST)

== High School? ==

Is that the one listed under "Poor Taste Stories"?

I'll give anything a go, but I want to be certain I'm working on the right story. --[[User:Robin|Robin]]

== Okey dokey! ==

I'll have a look at it. I don't know the requirements, but I would think that if someone started the story and assigned it there, then that's why it's there. Quick question: are you male or female? --[[User:Robin|Robin]]

== Gotcha! ==

Well . . . I'm female, and I like soccer. But I don't research any sports really. I much prefer to play them. High school was a long time ago for me, but writing for the University Daze story, has gotten me back in that mind-set. It will be fun to work on a high school setting too! --[[User:Robin|Robin]]

== Thanks? ==
While the scene of me having sex with a fat chick wasn't absolutely needed, I do thank you for you contributions to [[Ty's Story]]. You are welcome to edit any time, but you don't have to make me have sex with everyone. :p

Re: Thanks? -- It's well written, and makes a lot more sense than the random crap I throw in. It's not my place to censor you and it's good enough for me not just to kill myself off at every option. Thank you for showing interest in further story development. Also, I agree with many of the people here, the sex scenes are very good (although the mental image of Monica is disgusting).

I'm sorry for your loss, and for me acting disgusted (in my defense, I'm pretty sure "bowling ball with limbs" was supposed to make that reaction). I noticed that, and I think I'll branch from some of the nonsexual options. I'll leave you to any erotica, you're way better at that.

== Nice job ==

You are great at adult stories! I mean.. Just wanted to say that. Thanks in helping me out. --[[User:Kevinsims22|Orpheus]] 21:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

== Supershifter ==

Hey... I was kind of planning some other stuff for Supershifter, and while I appreciate the assistance, I didn't put a link to it on the main page for a reason. Again, I appreciate the help, but could you let me flesh it out first? I'll put it onto the main page when I feel it's ready to go public.

So could you wait before you edit it anymore, please? I DO have plans for it, but it takes me a lot of time to write them out because I want to be descriptive and consistent. Once it's public, you can add anything you want. Or, if you really want to help out right now, I don't really know what "you" could do with "your" powers at, say, the beach. So that could be useful.

I'm planning on putting this in the Adult section, so "you" can use your power in whatever way you want, from being a genuinely kindhearted soul to being a despicable rapist who cannot be taken down, (or anything in-between.) Just something to keep in mind if you continue to help.

So you can work on another location, but please, I would like to do this branch myself.

== Avast! ==

I appreciate your help for the [[Avast!]] story, but I hope you don't mind if I edit some of your pages in order to create hooks towards the various plots I have in mind. Also be aware that I'm a somewhat fussy person: I may edit other people's contributions for no adequately explained reason other than the fact that '''I''' wouldn't have written it this way. -- [[User:-Sentinel-|-Sentinel-]], 2010-10-11

Oh, one more thing: I like my stories to be rather more detailed... If a quest can be completed too easily, there's not much fun in it.

== PAGNM ==

Thank you for your addition to [[A portrait of an American Girl Named Myra|PAGNM]]. I cannot claim credit for starting the story, but I've worked on quite a large chunk of it, and I was wondering if anyone else was even reading. You took it in a direction I would not have thought of myself, so I just wanted to show my appreciation. --[[User:Cannon|Cannon]] 02:02, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

== Thank You ==

I just wanted to thank you for adding to my story... I was begining to think, I'd have to do it all myself. Seeing how I'm not a guy, those sections are harder for me to come up with.

== Alien Adventure ==

Thank you for your additions to [[Alien Adventure]]. I'm a little bummed it was an ending, but at the same time, it just wouldn't be a Choose Your Own Adventure without endings. Thanks for making it a good one. And feel free to continue editing Alien Adventure to your heart's content. I love your style! --[[User:Cannon|Cannon]] 21:40, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

== Metropolis Power Plant ==

Thank you for adding the Smutty Sex Romp locations pages for the [[Metropolis Power Plant]] and [[Parasite's Hideout]]. It completely slipped my mind.
Also, your addition, "[[Try to wear Livewire out]]," is awesome! Can you give me some writing tips? --[[User:Cannon|Cannon]] 14:20, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

== "Megan" addition ==

Hey, thanks for the page beginning for the final scene, I had been putting it off until the end because I didn't quite know how I wanted to present it. I appreciate the work, and I'll probably use it as a framework (since I do prefer the pages to be a little bit longer, especially the ending scene), but you've definitely given me a start to it. Thanks, bro.

While we're at it, any complaints with the story so far? Too violent? Not violent enough? Do you happen to have a favorite kill?

I'm planning on finishing it really soon, and a few of the upcoming weapons/methods include a gun, a baseball bat, and power tools. --[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 20:51, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

== War Pigs ==

I appreciate your contributions to my story. Regrettably, it was not intended to be publicly edited. Although your additions are very well written, they're inconsistent with the main story and the characters.

I apologize for this inconvenience, as I did not make it clear that my story was only supposed to be edited by myself. --[[User:AgentVincent|AgentVincent]] 19:44, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

== Re: ==

Thanks, I appreciate it. I haven't read Rescue myself, but I'll probably check it now.

I'll wait and see how my story progresses before I open it up for public editing. --[[User:AgentVincent|AgentVincent]]

== MOTDE ==

Hey man, you're always an quality writer. Haven´t seen a bad page from you yet! The text you wrote fits perfectly with the overall feel of the story. I always thought it was hard writing swordfights btw.

Kind of had other plans for the effects of the duel through. All four options are marked with B1 or B2 (you can only see it in the edit, not the actual article). I do this to keep track of decisions that affect the competition with Solaria. I figured that if you lose then Solaria´s soldiers would steal the princesses away (thus taking points away) but if you win then the huntresses would be able to successfully repel the enemies.
The B means that you took the path through the market road and then acquired the generals head as a trophy. The 1 or 2 that follows signifies if you won or lost against Solaria. But if you had taken the (yet unwritten) temple road, marked with a C, then you would have acquired a different trophy.

I´m very undecided on what to do with Minvir through. I kind of want to keep her fate similar no matter what happens in the duel with Solaria (killing her off in battle if Daine defeats Solaria). But I´m not sure I want to write her off or not. Making Trix the new and young second-in-commander opens up new elements in the story but closes others. I´m not sure if the new elements are better, or if they can be implemented in other ways.

...

Oh thanks for writing the rest of the page! Great as always and I appreciate the effort. I might pad it somewhat through.

--[[User:Fletcher Peninsula|Fletcher Peninsula]]

== Dankeschön ==

Yeah, Megan is finally done. That's a giant weight off of my shoulders. It's funny, it was meant to be a quick 23-page story written out of boredom, but personal life, planning, re-planning, and revisions ended up making it take forever.

And by god, were there some revisions. The entire final page, "Return home", was only a fourth of the length of what it is now. I had originally been using the Quick, Good, Brutal system like you had outlined on it, but I ended up dropping it in favor of Megan recording a message for everyone (I couldn't help but reference WLB with Jack and Sarah. I'll probably be writing that next...) before she did herself in. The gun and power tool pages are still on my to-do list, but they'll be a future endeavor, a little update of sorts for another day.

And, uh... yeah, that's it. Guess I rambled there, but yeah. And now that I mention WLB, I'm sure you've found your way to it by now.
But, overall, thanks for the congratulations. --[[User:TheElderOnes|TheElderOnes]] 20:35, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

== Re: Mind Reading? ==

Thanks man. I'm trying to get over a massive writer's block thats preventing me from continuing War Pigs and your comments mean a lot. --[[User:AgentVincent|AgentVincent]] 23:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

We'll have to see about that...

Also, I really need to get back to War Pigs soon. I may open it up for more people to edit, just so long as they understand the personalities of the characters.--[[User:AgentVincent|AgentVincent]]

== Remember ==

'''Do not touch my story!.....'''

'''Only joking.''' Thank you so much for doing that. I haven't been able to write up much on my story because of my tests happening at the moment. So I really appreciate all the help. But I suggest not to make anymore pages from now on. Well, not for the next week at least, I'm about to make the story move forward a fair bit. (SPOILERS ->) By letting him choose. --[[User:Heyoeveryone|Heyoeveryone]] 4 November 2011

Teejay! Can you do me a favor? Is it okay if you can write for me: [[R: Try to piss him off]]. I can't seem to think up off any smart comebacks. My requirements for the page:

*At least three lines of dialogue
*Limit the swearing to only low amounts
*Have the choices: [[R: Smash the Walkie Talkie]] and [[R: "Hey man, when can I decide who shall leave?"]]
*Have at least 500 characters

You don't have to do it if you really don't want to. --Heyoeveryone 07:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

That page you did. That was almost spot on to what they were as kids. '''Spoiler:''' Thing is, that they weren't good friends as a child, they were actually brothers. With the kidnapper being the younger one. Richard used to always bully the voice. '''End Spoilers.''' I;'m going to edit it so that it matches my story. Anyways, you managed to make the story move forward extremely fast. Which is good. --Heyoeveryone 09:14, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

== More Avast! ==

Hi Teejay. I've been looking at a few of your additions to [[Avast!]] -- it's a good story, isn't it? I'm excited by the two new avenues you added [[Offer_the_female_pirates_a_chance_to_join_your_crew|here]]. I suppose I'm asking if you've got Big Plans<sup>TM</sup> for them, or if they're open to edit by anyone. I'm not exactly asking for them myself, since I've got a limited amount of time for writing and I'm still hoping [[User:-Sentinel-|-Sentinel-]] will get back to me, giving me permission to get stuck into the story with more than just my trusty Typo Cutlass. But I'd love to know what your intentions on them are. [[User:JackalRobot|JackalRobot]] 17:55, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

==2nd person==

I'm really trying to keep Rampage and Smutty Sex Romp as 2nd person, choose your own adventure stories, not 3rd person, choose-what-the-other-character-are-doing stories. Picking what your character sees when she opens a door is kind of straying from 2nd person to 3rd person. So I'm going to combine a couple pages there to keep in everything you wrote, but snip out the choice that really isn't something your character could choose. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 15:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

I do enjoy colloborating with you and it's great watching a story weave back and forth as your ideas spark ideas for me and vice versa, but give me a ''little'' chance after I create a new page before taking the ball and running with it. Okay? --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 17:51, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. That's all I'm asking for. --[[User:Platypus|Platypus]] 18:16, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

== Sorry, but with restraint ==

I am sorry for the poor etiquette but the apology is with constraint. Although I did not specifically mark it as private, I believe that the description by the title was decently clear that editting was not welcome. If you didn't get that message, sorry for your misconceptions. Furthermore, in editting, it does note that material may be removed by others. I understand that it is bad etiquette and I will restrain from repeating such actions but I did excercise my rights as deemed by the site's usage. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience
--Liger0sch

== Smutty Sex Romp ==

I agree that the [[Tell Christine to go with you and find shoplifters to abuse]] story line is developing nicely. Shouldn't the goth girl have a name?

== Did I do this right? ==

Thanks for the help on how to message people back but I'm just wondering, did I do this right?

== About my story ==

I've read what you wrote and I completely agree with your comment. I do like it when people contribute to my stories because I know they read it. As for the contributions you've made to Extraordinary life of a not so common teenager I like the things you've wrote, and I'm glad that you wrote those there. I honestly have been having writers block lately and I'm kind of stuck with a lot of the choices right now and I'm not sure if I can come up with stuff for them all, so feel free to add any pages or edit any you want.

== Not that I'm forcing you to ==

Lol, the comment title sounds dirty. No but what I mean by that is I really like how your making the story on Sarah Tredwall, honestly your doing a better job than what I would've done and I like the fact that not everything is about sex when you add pages and edit them. I know a lot of writers just write nasty things but the things you write are simply amazing. I don't want to do anything more on Sarah because I know I'll screw it up but if you have extra time or whatever can you do more of the story that's on Sarah? The things you write are amazing!

== I need to know something else also ==

I don't know how to make it sound right when someone is talking, for example I would write "Hey there bob how was your day?" you can tell his day sucked but he says "It was alright I guess, got divorced today but whatever" you send out a frown to express your sorrow to him and say "It'll be alright Bob." For some reason that conversation doesn't look right when I read it, if you have any tips messages me sometime. Also the last comment about Sarah Tredwall was written by me also - *[[Wedre2]]

== Thanks ==

Thank you for choosing to add more onto the Sarah story, your editions so far have been amazing!

== Re: F.R. Theory ==

Thanks for your contribution Teejay. I think I will need to revise the section to be consistent with the ongoing story that you added to, but any spin off stories, additional options to a page, as well as full stories are welcome. The main theme is to show real life situations with inequality. If you want more info on the project and the purpose see the [[Explanations page]] I may monitor for time to time and add information that relates to what the statistics tell us as well but I appreciate your participation! ~[[User:Bekahllama|Bekahllama]] 17:20 EST 28 November 2012

Okay, I revised it a little bit but tried to stick with the points you made in your note to me. Hopefully I didn't change the message of what you were trying to get across but I just needed to make sure that it fit with the structure of the story, the facts, etc. Thanks again! ~[[User:Bekahllama|Bekahllama]] 17:35 EST 28 November 2012

Vaguely recalling your professor telling you there would be rules, you think maybe he knew that this supernatural transport was going to happen when you pressed the buttons on your clicker.

“Rule number 1...” , you recall him saying. And rule number 3 was to increase your mental/emotional status

“Maybe”, you think, “this is all part of the game and that's why I feel this compulsion to do what's best for Juan."

But what is best for Juan?

You decide you need to figure out about Juan and this woman who feels it’s okay to punch her husband.

From digging through your wallet and some papers and the bedroom you discover that Juan Munoz is 36 and he is married to Karen and from the pictures in the wallet they have two children, the ones that were sitting at the dinner table. In your wallet you find a card for an attorney. In your pocket you also find a cell phone.

You are rooting through some other papers on a desk to figure out where this classroom quiz transported you and what might be the choice that will trigger your transport back to your own live when Karen walks in the room. Clearly angry that you walked away from her in the kitchen.

“What do you think you’re doing? Those are my papers!” she yells as she stomps into the room.

This time she has the kitchen timer in her hand and throws it right at you.

You don’t have time to duck, and apparently Karen is a good mark because it hits you on the side of your head.

You realize you have to take some type of decisive action for Juan to get him out of this violent situation.

You fumble in your pocket and pull out the clicker.

Through the waves of pain you are able to press the “return button on the clicker, hoping that somehow this will get you home. As soon as you press the button you feel your body flying forward and the street begins to blur as the pavement under your face goes flying by you.

Everything turns black.

You open your eyes and the room starts to focus. You realize you are back in the class room. You look down at your legs and feel them and although they don’t seem broken, there is still lingering pain where Karen drove over them with her car.

You look up as you hear a voice – it’s your professor’s voice.

“Myths about male domestic violence victims,” your professor is reading from the power point projected behind him.

“Myth number 1,” he says, “only men who are wimps allow themselves to be abused by women.”
“Myth number 2,” he continues reading, “the abuser is always the bigger, stronger person and the victim is always the smaller, weaker person.”

You think back to your experience as Juan… yeah, this is a lot more complicated than you thought! As you are lost in thought about Juan, you hear your professor’s voice in the background.

Class isn't over yet and you:
* [[F.R.Theory/Check your syllabus|You think, "It's too bad I didn't pick a different option on the quiz"]]

<[[F.R. Theory]]

Shit is getting real, so you decide you are going to get out of the house.

"That's it!" You tell Karen, as you look around for a jacket, "I'm outta here!"

You look again through your wallet for any indication of friends or family but the only thing you have are the pictures of Karen and the kids and the business card for the family law attorney. You have one credit card that looks like a bank card which lists the name as Juan Munoz and Karen Munoz.

"If you leave I'll just cancel your bank card," she threatens, "you know I'm the one that has all the money so how you gonna live without me?"

"And look trying to go anywhere once I slash your tires and smash your window..."

The threats keep coming but you are determined to get out of the house.

You walk out of the door and slam it behind you. You just pick a direction and start walking. You start to hear a car behind you. Karen is yelling out of the window and driving the car right toward you.

You start to run but she smashes the car right into you, pinning you up against a lamp post.

Through the waves of pain you feel something digging into your back.

You reach around and feel something in your back pocket.

It's your clicker from the classroom!

== The Project ==
F.R. Theory stands for Feminist/Race Theory, a class taught at my law school.

We are charged with finding a creative way to "relate an experience in which something important about the nature, texture, or complexity of equality or inequality is taught or learned."

The setting of a classroom is just a catalyst for various stories that could be told. The student "listens" to the rules, which are basic goals of our everyday existence, (survival and improving our mental and physical health), and hopefully will employ those rules when making choices during the adventure. By selecting a numerical "answer" to the professor's in-class quiz, the student is transported into the life of another person and will need to make choices in conformity with the rules with real life consequences to their actions.

I am starting off with stories about domestic violence because I volunteer as a court advocate for our local battered women's shelter so I have first hand experience hearing stories like these.

My thought was that other stories could be added and do not necessarily need to be about domestic violence, but should be about other situations where a person's choices are very limited, and much like a choose your own adventure, lead to the same or similar outcomes because of inequality in society which is beyond their control. The consequences of each action should reflect real life consequences that many people may not realize would result.

For instance, in domestic violence situations, applying rule number one, a victim might attack her batterer before the next time they think they will be brutalized, seeing it as the only way out of their situation. In legal jurisprudence, we call this the "battered women's syndrome" but it is a choice that might seem the most logical to someone in that situation. Putting a reader in that situation may help to explain it better. The real life consequence is that the victim will then be charged with premeditated murder.

If you can keep with the theme, additional stories are welcome. They can be added by selecting an unused numerical option or adding an additional one to the in-class pop quiz.

It would be better to tell a story based on things in your own life or ones with which you have personal experience.

Now that you know what the project is about you ...

F.R.Theory/Check your syllabus

<[[F.R. Theory]]

You rummage through your book bag looking for your syllabus. The only thing you can find is the [[Explanations page]] for the class.

While you were trying to find your syllabus the professor had asked a question and now there are three options on the power point overhead with a clock ticking down the time to respond.

The options only say "Yes," "No," or "Maybe."

Since you didn't hear the question you decide just to guess. You press...

As you press button number 1 you feel like your whole body is being thrown forward and the room begins to blur as if the room is rushing by you.

The room fades to black.

As you open your eyes and the room starts to focus you realize you are no longer in the class room. You are standing in a kitchen by a sink that has a little window just above it. There are two young children sitting at the table and a man is talking to you.

You look down at your hands and it looks completely unfamiliar to you but they are definitely feminine. You and notice a wedding band on your left hand. A cat runs by you and rubs up against the legs of the kitchen table. The children are giggling and trying to play with the cat's tail.

Disoriented, you put your hand out to the sink to steady yourself and think, "where am I?"

"Mary! What are you doing? You're over cooking the pasta!" the man yells towards you.

"Oh, sorry," you say instinctively and look toward the stove where a pot is boiling with pasta. You go to the stove to drain the pasta but as soon as you drain it the man's face clouds over.

"Look what you fucking did!" His voice is raised now, "It's all mushy now! How come you can't even do this one simple thing right?! You are fucking worthless excuse for a human being!"

You don't know this man but you assume that he must be Mary's husband and he thinks that you are Mary. The children are looking concerned and a little on edge like they are bracing for something that is about to happen. They've stopped playing with the cat's tail and are completely silent.

You feel this compulsion to do whatever is in Mary's best interest. But, not knowing what to do or how to get back to your own life you decide to....

Relying on Rule Number 1 (stay alive) and Rule Number 2 (increase your physical health) you decide that you might as well retaliate against Karen for that blow to your gut and this sweet gash you're now sporting.

Karen is all the way across the room but you march over and land one of your fists right into her gut. And just for good measure you knee her in the face as she crumples to the ground.

As you revel in your revenge it's as if you again hurled forward and the room begins to blur. You think for sure you've won the game as the room is rushing by you.

The room fades to black.

As you open your eyes and start to focus on your surroundings you realize that you're not back in the classroom but you're sitting on a curb, outside and it looks like it's about dusk.

Your arms are pinned behind you and you feel the hard steel of handcuffs binding your wrists.

You look around and you see flashing lights. You turn toward your left and see a police cruiser and an officer talking to Karen. Both of Karen's eyes are blackened and she is crying.

You start to get the feeling that maybe you didn't do what's best for Juan and that you might be stuck in this body forever. Your right butt cheek starts to feel funny and you realize there's something in your back pocket.

You reach into your back pocket with your hands still handcuffed and you realize it's your clicker from the classroom!

“Rule number 1” , you recall him saying, “stay alive”.

“Maybe”, you think, “this is all part of the game and I’m supposed to fight back.”

You think about retaliating against the woman as blood trickles down from your head where the timer hit you. But the more you think about it, Juan seems like he’s not in danger of death, or at least not at this moment. Juan is clearly bigger than this woman and he/you could probably do a lot more damage to her than she can to you. And then where would Juan be?

“Rule number 2 was to increase your health points,” you think, “If anyone is keeping score right now, you think, they are certainly going down.”

You’ve been raised to believe that men shouldn’t be violent towards women so even though Karen thinks it’s okay to be physically violent towards Juan. But maybe, you’re supposed to resolve the situation in another way?

<[[F.R. Theory]]

Vaguely recalling your professor telling you there would be rules, you think maybe he knew that this supernatural transport was going to happen when you pressed the buttons on your clicker.

“Rule number 1...” , you recall him saying. And rule number 3 was to increase your mental/emotional status

“Maybe”, you think, “this is all part of the game and that's why I feel this compulsion to do what's best for Juan."

But what is best for Juan?

You decide you need to figure out about Juan and this woman who feels it’s okay to punch her husband.

From digging through your wallet and some papers and the bedroom you discover that Juan Munoz is 36 and he is married to Karen and from the pictures in the wallet they have two children, the ones that were sitting at the dinner table. In your wallet you find a card for an attorney. In your pocket you also find a cell phone.

You are rooting through some other papers on a desk to figure out where this classroom quiz transported you and what might be the choice that will trigger your transport back to your own live when Karen walks in the room. Clearly angry that you walked away from her in the kitchen.

“What do you think you’re doing? Those are my papers!” she yells as she stomps into the room.

This time she has the kitchen timer in her hand and throws it right at you.

You don’t have time to duck, and apparently Karen is a good mark because it hits you on the side of your head.

You realize you have to take some type of decisive action for Juan to get him out of this violent situation.

What do you do?

As you press button number 1 you feel like your whole body is being thrown forward and the room begins to blur as if the room is rushing by you.

The room fades to black.

As you open your eyes and the room starts to focus you realize you are no longer in the class room. You're standing in a kitchen by a sink that has a little window just above it. There are two children sitting at the table eating and a woman is talking to you. You look down at your hand and it looks completely unfamiliar to you but they are definitely masculine hands. You see a wedding band on your left hand.

The woman who is talking to you must be the wife of the person whose body you are in. In a daze, you turn toward the woman.

“What? I’m sorry what did you say?” you respond.

<<Thunk>> She responds with a hard punch to your gut.

You gasp for air. In a haze you hear her say, “You never fucking listen to me, Juan!”

"Juan? Who is Juan?" You think as you steady yourself with one hand on the sink.

Clearly, she has no concern for your, or rather, Juan’s well-being. You can tell this isn’t the first time she’s thrown a punch at Juan. The kids look up, startled but say nothing as if they are afraid that the next punch the woman throws will be at them.

You feel this compulsion to do whatever is in Juan's best interest. But, not knowing what to do or how to get back to your own life you have to decide what to do.

F.R.Theory/Ask the guy sitting next to you if he knows what's going on

<[[F.R. Theory]]

This time you lean to your left to see if the guy to your right knows what this "game" is all about.

You try to subtly waive at the guy sitting next to you to get his attention. When he doesn't respond you whisper to him,

"Pssst, hey do you know what we're supposed to do"

He just waves his clicker at you and points to the screen.

While you were trying to get his attention the professor had asked a question and now there are three options on the power point overhead with a clock ticking down the time to respond.

The options only say "Yes," "No," or "Maybe."

Since you didn't hear the question you decide just to guess. You press...

== Pay Attention ==
“I did pay good money to be here,” you think to yourself, “or at least I will pay good money, some day, so I might as well pay attention.”

You take out a notepad too, and look down at your “clicker.” It looks like a remote control. You’ve never used one before but you’ve heard that professors use it to conduct in-class surveys and pop quizzes. As you are examining your clicker and turn it on a guy about your age sits in a seat to your right, closest to the aisle. Although there’s a seat between you and him, if this class turns out to suck, then you’re kind of trapped.

Click, click, click, click.

You look up as you hear the heels of the professor taping as he walks across the stage of the lecture hall to the podium.

Bam, bam, bam

He raps on the podium loudly to get the student’s attention.

“Today we are going to embark on a social experiment,” he announces. “It’s a ‘choose your own adventure’ of sorts to challenge our understanding of real life choices people have to make in difficult situations.”

“In the following game, you will have 3 goals,” he explains.

“Rule number one – stay alive”

“Rule number two – gain physical health points”

“Rule number three – gain mental health points”

You look around wondering if anyone else knew this was coming. It sounds pretty silly to you... but then it beats a lecture.

Do you ...

== The Classroom ==

The university lecture hall is bustling with students trickling in and taking their seats.

You walk down the steps until you’re at the third row from the front -– it's not too close that you’ll be noticed, but hopefully not too far in the back that you will fall asleep.

To your left, there is one empty seat between you and a girl with dark glasses and long hair. As you sit down you glance at her as she gets out a notepad, a pen, and the electronic “clicker” you were assigned to buy for the class.

You completely forget what class you are in or if you had any assignments.

As you open your eyes and the room starts to focus you realize you are no longer in the class room. You are standing in a kitchen by a sink that has a little window just above it. There are two young children sitting at the table and a man is talking to you.

You look down at your hands and it looks completely unfamiliar to you but they are definitely feminine. You and notice a wedding band on your left hand. A cat runs by you and rubs up against the legs of the kitchen table. The children are giggling and trying to play with the cat's tail.

Disoriented, you think, "where am I?"

"Mary! What are you doing? You're over cooking the pasta!" the man yells towards you.

"Oh, sorry," you say instinctively and look toward the stove where a pot is boiling with pasta. You go to the stove to drain the pasta but as soon as you drain it the man's face clouds over.

"Look what you fucking did!" His voice is raised now, "It's all mushy now! How come you can't even do this one simple thing right?! You are fucking worthless excuse for a human being!"

You don't know this man but you assume that he must be Mary's husband and he thinks that you are Mary. The children are looking concerned and a little on edge like they are bracing for something that is about to happen. They've stopped playing with the cat's tail and are completely silent.

You feel this compulsion to do whatever is in Mary's best interest. But, not knowing what to do or how to get back to your own life you decide to....

<[[F.R. Theory]]

Vaguely recalling your professor telling you there would be rules, you think maybe he knew that this supernatural transport was going to happen when you pressed the buttons on your clicker.

“Rule number 1...” , you recall him saying. And rule number 3 was to increase your mental/emotional status

“Maybe”, you think, “this is all part of the game and that's why I feel this compulsion to do what's best for Juan."

But what is best for Juan?

You decide you need to figure out about Juan and this woman who feels it’s okay to punch her husband.

From digging through your wallet and some papers and the bedroom you discover that Juan Munoz is 36 and he is married to Karen and from the pictures in the wallet they have two children, the ones that were sitting at the dinner table. In your wallet you find a card for an attorney. In your pocket you also find a cell phone.

You are rooting through some other papers on a desk to figure out where this classroom quiz transported you and what might be the choice that will trigger your transport back to your own live when Karen walks in the room. Clearly angry that you walked away from her in the kitchen.

“What do you think you’re doing? Those are my papers!” she yells as she stomps into the room.

This time she has the kitchen timer in her hand and throws it right at you.

You don’t have time to duck, and apparently Karen is a good mark because it hits you on the side of your head.

You realize you have to take some type of decisive action for Juan to get him out of this violent situation.

You fumble in your pockets and pull out the cell phone to call the police.

You push past Karen and walk towards the kitchen, thinking she wont try to hurt you again if you are near the kids. Karen is behind you yelling about Juan not having a good job, being worthless. You try to tune her out but can't.

"911, What's your Emergency?" the voice on the phone asks.

"Yes I'd like to report an assault. This woman who is supposed to be my wife punched me and then she threw a kitchen timer at me," you tell the operator.

Karen, in the background is yelling, "oh yeah, you want to call the cops on me. Well get out of my house right now, and good luck ever seeing your children again."

Involuntarily, your stomach drops. You look down at Juan's kids and feel an overwhelming urge to protect them.

Although it must have only been minutes ago, you only vaguely recalling your professor telling you there would be rules, you think maybe he knew that this supernatural transport was going to happen when you pressed the buttons on your clicker.

“Rule number 1” , you recall him saying, “stay alive”.

“Maybe”, you think, “this is all part of the game and I’m supposed to fight back.”

You think about retaliating against the woman as blood trickles down from your head where the timer hit you. But the more you think about it, Juan seems like he’s not in danger of death, or at least not at this moment. Juan is clearly bigger than this woman and he/you could probably do a lot more damage to her than she can to you. And then where would Juan be?

“Rule number 2 was to increase your health points,” you think, “If anyone is keeping score right now, you think, they are certainly going down.”

You’ve been raised to believe that men shouldn’t be violent towards women so even though Karen thinks it’s okay to be physically violent towards Juan. But maybe, you’re supposed to resolve the situation in another way?

Not knowing what to do or how to get back to your own life you have to decide what to do.

F.R.Theory/Press 1 for Yes

<[[F.R. Theory]]

As you press button number 1 you feel like your whole body is being thrown forward and the room begins to blur as if the room is rushing by you.

The room fades to black.

As you open your eyes and the room starts to focus you realize you are no longer in the class room. You're standing a in a kitchen by a sink that has a little window just above it. There are two children sitting at the table eating and a woman is talking to you. You look down at your hand and it looks completely unfamiliar to you. You see a wedding band on it.

The woman who is talking to you must be the wife of the person whose body you are in. In a daze, you turn toward the woman.

“what? I’m sorry what did you say?” you respond.

<<Thunk>> She responds with a hard punch to your gut.

You gasp for air. In haze you hear her say, “You never fucking listen to me, Juan”

"Juan? Who is Juan?" You think as you steady yourself with one hand on the sink.

Clearly, she has no concern for your, or rather, Juan’s wellbeing. You can tell this isn’t the first time she’s thrown a punch at Juan. The kids look up, startled but say nothing as if they are afraid that the next punch the woman throws will be at them.

Bekahllama: /* The Classroom */

== The Classroom ==

The university lecture hall is bustling with students trickling in and taking their seats.

You walk down the steps until you’re at the third row from the front -– it's not too close that you’ll be noticed, but hopefully not too far in the back that you will fall asleep.

To your left, there is one empty seat between you and a girl with dark glasses and long hair. As you sit down you glance at her as she gets out a notepad, a pen, and the electronic “clicker” you were assigned to buy for the class.

You completely forget what class you are in or if you had any assignments.

Do you...

F.R.Theory/Pull out the clicker and press the "Return" button

< [[F.R. Theory]]
You fumble in your pocket and pull out the clicker.

Through the waves of pain you are able to press the “return button on the clicker, hoping that somehow this will get you home.
As soon as you press the button you feel your body flying forward and the street begins to blur as the pavement under your face goes flying by you.

Everything turns black.

You open your eyes and the room starts to focus. You realize you are back in the class room. You look down at your legs and feel them and although they don’t seem broken, there is still lingering pain where Karen drove over them with her car.

You look up as you hear a voice – it’s your professor’s voice.

“Myths about male domestic violence victims,” your professor is reading from the power point projected behind him.

“Myth number 1,” he says, “only men who are wimps allow themselves to be abused by women.”
“Myth number 2,” he continues reading, “the abuser is always the bigger, stronger person and the victim is always the smaller, weaker person.”

You think back to your experience as Juan… yeah, this is a lot more complicated than you thought! As you are lost in thought about Juan, you hear your professor’s voice in the background.

“Myth number 7,” you hear him say, “research shows that 95-99% of the cases women are the victims of domestic violence and men are the perpetrators. While it’s true that the in the majority of domestic violence cases women are the victims, the National Institute of Justice find that men make up 15-35% of all reported victims of domestic violence.”

Class isn't over yet so to pass the time you,
