Now what do you want to see?!
[[The more intresting but somehow weird version that takes too long to get to the point!]]
You sit down and think about all the bad things that could happen there, what if you fail? what if you say something stupid? what if they don't like your games?
[[Let's skip the interview and sleep forever...!yayyy]]What? You can not give up like this! It's your life long dream. do something about it.
[[TRY AGAIN|let's start...]]
(live: 5s)[(print: "Achievement#1: *The Second Chance*")]It's a beautiful day, birds are singing, sun is shining and all that great stuff,.. but it's also a terrifying day, because you have to go to the big company for the interview.
[[Ok, I'm ready and confident.]]
[[Let's panic, it's a big company after all.]]The big company's office is at the 11th floor of a tall building. Your interview begins at 2 PM. You arrived there at 1:30. You have a big smile on your face. You're waering your favorit dress. Everything is gonna be awesome.
[[Enter the building]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#2: *The Early Bird*")]You walk straight toward the elevator, but someone is calling you.
"Sorry my dear, can you help me?" said an old lady in front of you.
[[Sure, you got plenty of time]]
[[Nah, You have to go up and prepare for the interview]]What can I do for you?
+ Oh I just want you to thread this needle for me. she pulls out a very long thread and a small needle.
- Really? But I have an appointment right now!
+ Do you want me to curse you my dear?
+No No!
You're trying to thread the needle, but it's very hard. The old lady is smiling at you. It's 1:45. You want to run away but you dont want to be cursed. its 1:50. You don't have much time left. at last.. it's done.
[[You pass the thread to the old lady, She looks happy.]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#3: *The Helper*")]"I'm sorry but I have to go" you turn to the elevator again.
+ You're not gonna help me? how dare you! I shall curse you for the day, May all the good things go wrong for you from this moment...Ha HA HA!
What?! did she just said curse? That can't be real.
You come back to the old lady, She is smiling and staring at you in a creepy way.
You don't need a curse, Not today.
[[Of course I'll help you!|Sure, you got plenty of time]]
You hit the button on the elavator, nothing happened. you hit it again. still nothing. come on...
+ It doesn't work. said a man walking by.
_ What?
+ It's Monday. The elevator never works on Mondays.
_ But I have to go to the 11th floor.
+ Use your legs, It's good excercise. He smiled and moved away.
[[You ran toward the stairs]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#5: *The Runner*")]You only have 2 minutes to reach 11th floor. You're running up the stairs, it's 1:59. You reached the 10th floor, when suddenly a door opens and hit you in the face ( The outside doors must always open to the inside, so these kind of things don't happen, but let's pretend there was a construction error in this building)
Your face turns red. Your head hurts, But You have to get up.
[[It's 2:00 Pm]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#6: *The Warrior*")]
Finally you reached the 11th floor, You try to look confident and smile again, even though your head is bleeding.
someone opens the door.
+ You're late, -10 points for you. Go and sit in that room and fill this form.
[[Go to the room]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#7: *The Optimist*")]You sit on a chair under a giant chandelier. ok, Lets fill this form, let me take out my pen. wait, where's my bag? Damn, You left your bag on the 10th floor. There's no time to get it back.
[[ask for a pen]]
[[Look for a pen on the desk in front of you]]
[[wait for someone to come and give you a pen|wait for someone to come]]You left the room to find the person who opened the door for you. He's sitting behind a desk, He looks busy. There's a sign on his desk:
*Do not ask for pens!*
You went back to the first room.
[[Look for a pen on the desk in front of you]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#8: *The Silent man*")]There are huge piles of paper on the desk. You see a pen between the papers. You try to grab the pen without messing up the papers. You got so many papercuts. finally you get the pen, now You can fill the form in peace, but you have to sneeze! Oh,no! the desk has shaken and the papers are all over the floor. You have to think fast.
[[Try to pick the papers and set them like before]]
[[Quickly push all the papers under the desk]]
(live: 12s)[(print: "Achievement#9: *The Problem Solver*")]You wait for a while but nothing happened. what if they forgot you were here. You decide to cough loudly, But no one came for you.
Hmm, what else can you do?
[[Look for a pen on the desk in front of you]]
[[ask for a pen]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#8: *Nobody likes you*")]You try to pick up the papers, But you sneeze again and there is even more papers on the floor now. You hear footsteps, what would you do?!
[[Quickly push all the papers under the desk]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#10: *The Sneezer!*")]You push all the papers under the desk, so no one can see them again. Now you can sit and fill out the form.
[[Sit on the chair again]]You pick up the pen, but your hand hurts! you're bleeding from all the paper cuts. You are careful not to drop the blood on the papars. Let's start with the questions..
1- Who are you?
*It's easy, Faezeh Khomeyrani*
[[2- Where have you studied?]]Hmm.. should you mention that you have a degree in architecture or is that totally irrelavent? let's skip to the important part.
Studying Game design at national institution of game de...!
damn, Its too long you can't fit all the words in there. That's ok, you can explain it later.
[[3- What have you done before?]]It's easy. You write down that you have worked in a game studio for about a year as a game designer, and about the time that you started an indie team and designed many narrative games. You mention that you write about Indie games in a game magazine. Oh and don't forget the board games you designed and the fact that you won an award for one of them. Hmm, What else... You are thinking about the other things that you can write about...
You hear some noises from the ceiling, The chandelier is rattling! what is happening?
[[Try to stand up]]
(live: 12s)[(print: "Achievement#11: *Do not trust the Gravity*")]You try to stand up but the chandelier falls on you.The floor is covered with broken glass and blood. Your head hurts. You are bleeding more than before, But you have to be strong.
[[Sit down and continue filling the form]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#12: *Nothing can stop me*")]So where were we? Aha, what have you done. You were going to write something that you can't remember. have you lost your memory? You are sure that you have worked somewhere but you can't remember the name. You see a poster on the wall. It's showing a guy with a sword and It says the word Ubisoft. Hmm, that sounds familiar, You remember something about a sword and an old angry lady, Maybe you work at that Ubisoft place? yeah that seems about right.
[[Someone's coming in]]
(live: 12s)[(print: "Achievement#13: *The Memory Game*")]You try to act normal. The room is a mess but maybe you can explain it all. Someone opened the door. Let's call him Mr X. He is talking on the phone and goes staright to the chair behind the desk. He didn't notice all the broken glass and blood on the floor. Good. he hung up the phone.
+ Bring me the form.
You pass the form with your uninjured hand. Everything seems normal.
[[+Are you nervous?]]*Just a bit, It's mostly because I got cursed and have to run up the stairs and got hit in the head twice and Im bleeding and ...*
No, You decide its better not to say anything.
_ No, I'm good:)
[[+ Ok, Let me explain something for you first.]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#14: *Uspoken Words*")]+ First of all, You were late today and this is not acceptable here. This company is about making games that...
Two mosquitos fly in through the window. You get distracted by them and lost Mr x's speach. The mosquitos are dangerously getting closer to you. You are not comfortable and you can not concentrate. what should you do?
[[Politely smile and nod as if you are listening carefully]]
[[have a panic attack and leave the room]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#15: *Unexpected Events*")]Really? come on girl, You can't do this. this is serious for me. It's just mosquitos, They won't kill you.
[[Politely smile and nod as if you are listening carefully]]Mr x is talking about the rules and conditions of the office. You keep smiling and nodding as if nothing's wrong. one of the mosquitos sits on his hand. You lost track of the other one. He rolled a paper and killed the mosquito, The paper fell on the ground.
[[pick up the paper before he sees the mess on the floor]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#16: *The Mosquito Effect*")]You put the paper on the desk again. He keeps talking.
+ So, show me some of your board games.
But you left all of them in your bag and your bag is ..
_ Sorry, I don't have them with me right now.
+ok, Show me some pictures at least.
The pictures are on your phone and your phone is in your bag and your bag is...
_ I dont have any picture right now. ( You smile awkwardly and try to break the tension)
[[+ Not good!]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#17: *The Excuses*")]Mr X continues talking, But you are distracted again. the second mosquito is drinking blood on the floor and it's getting bigger.
Its now the size of an egg and is still growing. should you say something to Mr X? nah, He probably doesn't want to be intrrupted...
He is asking something.
+ Take this paper and write a game scenario right now.
_ about what?
+ Anything, we just want to test your skills.
[[You take the paper]]
You want to focus, but all you can think about is the giant mosquito sitting on the floor. Mr X is waiting for you. Ok, Let's write something. Your game is about a character who has a pet mosquito and has to feed it with his own blood,they both have to survive in a surreal world and fight with different enemies and needles and old ladies. Well, that's good enough for now. You give back the paper to Mr X.
[[He starts reading]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#18: *The Imagination*")]+ Hmm, ok, Now if you want to be hired...
You are trying to listen carefully, But the mosquito is now standing behind him, It's now the size of your chair. Forget the mosquito, listen!
+ .. If you want to be hired you just have to improve your...
The mosquito Rolled one of the papers on the floor and hit Mr X on the head. Oh,NO! He fell on the floor,he never got to finish his sentence. This is unbelievable.
The mosquito slowly pushesh Mr X under the desk, It's now rubbing it's hands together and smiling at you.
[[Run to the other room and yell for help]]
[[Check Mr X and see if he is ok]]
(live: 10s)[(print: "Achievement#19: *Que Sera Sera*")]The other person is still sitting behind a desk, looking busy.
There's a sign on his desk:
*Do not ask for help!*
You stare at the sign for a while, You don't know what to do now.
[[Ask if you are hired or not]]You want to look under the desk but the mosquito is blocking the way, It wrote something on a paper and gave it to you.
*It's not your fight, Stay out of it!*
[[You walk out of the room|Run to the other room and yell for help]]+ Not yet.
He points to a sign on the wall.
*If you want to be hired here, send us your resume. Making your dreams come true or crushing them is our choice.*
You want to say something about Mr x and the giant mosquito, But he probably has a sign for them too.
[[You walk back to the interview room]]
The mosquito is still there, mourning for its friend.
What a day! now you have to go home and write a resume, Or you can write about the things that happened today. of course nobody would ever believe you...
You are too tired to take the stairs again. The mosquito opens the window. You jump on its back and fly out of the window...
[[The End]]
