Welcome to the Legend of the Pockets - an interactive adventure. You will see that there are a lot of dead endings. When you encounter one, feel free to go back to the beginning and explore as many other story lines as you like.
You will also notice that each slide has an alpha-numeric code at the end of it, for example: CC8, RD4, CV7 or WC3. We ask that if you have specific feedback or suggestions, that you quote this code from the BOTTOM of the slide in question. We are very interested in your creative input and comments about story line, characters, etc and less concerned about editing at this point, so please be gentle regarding any typos you encounter.
It's the fifth of September, 2019 - the first day of school. You're walking to your new school when it starts to rain. If you hadn't had to maneuver two backpacks stuffed with new school supplies, you would've remembered your jacket.
You pass by a construction site and notice something shiny amidst the construction debris. Walking up to it, you realize it's a
[[>WC1 metal button, attached to a black, woolen coat]]
[[>CV1 shiny zipper, attached to a bright yellow construction vest]]
[[>RD1 softly glowing nose of a Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer costume]]
[[>CC1 a brand-new, glow-in-the dark toonie to commemorate Canada 150.]]
This is this slide's alpha-numeric code: LOP1
You pick it up and wonder briefly about who would leave a perfectly good woolen coat lying on the ground, neatly folded, just waiting to be picked up and put on. You pick it up and put it on. Immediately, you feel warmer and somehow, smarter.
[[>WC2 You continue on to school, feeling cozy and stylish.]]
[[>WC3 You are kind of freaked out with the weight of ideas and knowledge swirling around in your extremely small brain and you fight to get the coat off as quickly as you can. You drop it to the ground, not noticing that your designer light-black highlighter fell to the ground at the same time. You run towards school as fast your little penguin legs will take you.]]
[[>WC4 The coat feels wonderful and you immediately are concerned about whoever may have left it here and how they are faring without it. You take it off and look for a name or number so you can return it to it's proper owner.]]
WC1[[>CV3 You're curious and you bend down to take a closer look.]]
[[>CV2 You think, that's weird - it must be molting season for construction workers.]]
CV1[[>RD2 You pick up the costume and, realizing it's just your size, you slip it on, readjust your backpacks and continue on to school warm, dry and fashionable.]]
[[>RD3 Leave the costume and continue on to school, thoroughly soaked by the time you arrive. As you walk away you experience a sense of something missing, like you forgot to close the garage door or turn off the oven... or that you were supposed to do something very important and you completely forgot.]]
[[>RD4 You pick up the costume and, realizing it's far too big for you, you fashion it into an umbrella to keep the rain off of you.]]
RD1Your new teacher is not impressed, and expresses her wrath by tugging on your antlers. This begins a year-long struggle that marks your deterioration in life.
A couple months later, while collecting your laundry, you come across the costume again. It feels heavier than it should, seemingly holding more than just your traumatic memory of your first day of school. You realize the costume has a large butt pocket you hadn't noticed before. You reach your hand in, hoping the weight is that glow-in-the-dark, commemorative Canada 150 toonie you'd lost. Instead, you feel a hand grasping yours and pulling. Stunned, you allow yourself to be pulled in and in a split second you find yourself in a poorly lit, underground parking garage. As you do a double take, you are aware of a gravelly voice muttering, 'damn, wrong pocket' and get pushed back through, just like that.
The experience leaves you questioning your existence for the next six months. Fortunately, your confusion ends abruptly on a camping trip when you suffer a fatal gun-shot inflicted by a hunter during duck season who mistakes you for a mallard.
[[Restart->Taco]]
RD2As you walked across the schoolyard you had seen that one annoying kid bragging about his new commemorative toonie, waving it around and practically flinging it across the playground like a frisbee. Of course everyone was oh so impressed. Regardless of his childish behaviour, it had been obvious the teachers were also impressed and treated him differently as a result.
[[>CC2 It sure would be great to start the new school year in the good books with the teacher. You bend down to pick it up and and it slowly starts to glow in your hand.]]
[[>CC3 You absolutely do not want to be "that kid" and you keep walking.]]
[[>CC4 Something this valuable might be worthy of a reward if returned back to its rightful owner. You pick it up with the best of intentions.]]
CC1
Impress the teachers
It keeps on glowing brighter and brighter.
[[>CC5 It freaks you out and you have a vision of it exploding in you hand. You quickly drop the coin and bolt.]]
[[>CC7 You feel it getting warmer and you realize how cold your hands were. You continue on the way to school, switching it from your left to your right hand and enjoying the feeling that you have something special, akin to superhuman powers.]]
[[>CC8 You remember that kid talking about it's crazy boomerang-like features. You give it a gentle toss, frisbee-like and see what happens.]]
CC2Under construction. Let us know what you think should happen next.
CC3The rest of your trip to school is uneventfully boring. When you arrive, you subtly show the coin to Melvin, the kid from last year with the identical coin. He pulls his out to compare and you cross him off your mental list of potential owners. As you walk away, you already hear him starting to show off his coin to a group of new kindergarten kids.
Over the rest of the day, you manage to approach most of the kids in the school to identify the owner with no success. You realize how small the group of coin nerds at your school is as you are continually redirected to the same three people with identical tape on their glasses.
You realize this is fruitless. So you...
[[>CC18 go home and begin to write a Kijiji ad to see what you can get for it.]]
[[>CC19 go home and begin to write a Craig's List ad to see what you can get for it.]]
[[>CC20 stop by the construction site where you found it and return it to its rightful place. As you are walking away, you hear a noise and instinctively dive behind a nearby bush. You peer through the branches to observe a familiar looking kid maneuvering two backpacks bend down to pick something up.]]
CC4Explosion
You make it about 20 metres before you feel the shock wave and you hit the ground. As you are falling into the blackness of unconsciousness, you have the strange impression that 20 kindergarten kids are looking down at you. The world goes black.
[[>RESTART-->Taco]]
OR....
CC5When you arrive at school, you meet up with your old friends from last year. Everyone is bragging about their cool summer trips and adventures, but you're the only one with one of the very rare Canada 150 glow in the dark, commemorative coins. You collect a circle of admirers wanting to get a look. Someone reaches to touch the coin in your hand, brushes your arm and jumps back exclaiming your arm is as cold as ice. In response, you....
[[>CC9 Laugh maniacally and reach out to the closest person to you. They instantly freeze with a look of shock on their face as a block of ice forms around them. Realizing your power, you try it again, but everyone is already moving away as quickly as they can and chaos ensues.]]
[[>CC10 Push them aside and they instantly freeze, clearly unable to move. Threatened, the others begin to push you back. You stumble and fall, breaking your impact with your hands.]]
CC7Under construction. Let us know what you think should happen next.
CC8CC 1. Ice person
In the crush, you manage to create another dozen ice blocks before the playground is empty. You hear a strange noise in the distance, gaining in volume. Oddly, it sounds like a small herd of disorganized frogs - high-pitched and discordant ribbits. In a moment, you are surrounded by dozens of kindergarten kids, falling out of the sky unheroically, many trying to pull off super-hero style landings, but failing miserably. You're faintly impressed by how quickly they pick themselves up again as if nothing embarrassing happened and continue to charge forward, ribbiting insanely. As suddenly as it started, the noise is instantly gone, all of the children instinctively turning towards a new arrival. You're not sure if it is an actual giant frog, or the famous frogman, but you're leaning towards the latter. As you are debating this in your head, through a series of complicated gestures, he commands the kids to surround you, slowly moving closer and closer. You calmly reach out to them one by one and watch them turn into kid-sized blocks of ice. It takes you a moment to realize that they are intentionally piling themselves up to form an igloo around you and that you will quickly be trapped in a ice house of the frozen faces of brave children who have given their lives to protect the world from your frozen evilness. Your realization comes too late. You are now left with only one gap in the dome of ice and it is blocked by the mighty frogman. You dive low, intending to freeze him. The ice starts to form at his feet, but somehow, he is able to resist your powers and the ice only makes it as high as his waist as his feet are stuck to the ground. You need to get past him, and reach to pull off his mask to distract him. As you do, he reaches for the still glowing coin in your hand, but not before the mask is in your hand and you see his face.
[[>CC11 You feel like you're looking in a mirror as you recognize yourself.]]
[[>CC13 He has a well-groomed ginger beard and ginger hair.]]
CC9cold and evil
As your hands contact the ground, you experience a lurching feeling and hear numerous thudding noises as those around you also hit the ground. Confused, people are looking around, and accusing each other of shoving them. The situation quickly turns into a school-yard brawl. A sense of cold clarity and deja vu washes over you and a random memory of your tropical beach resort from last winter pops into your head. As you take a moment to enjoy the imagined sunshine, you absent-mindedly start tossing the coin into the air and catching it. You imagine you feel the warmth of the sun and hear the water birds. You open your eyes and find yourself back on that beach in Cuba.
[[>CC12 You remember the great little ice cream shack down the beach and start walking in that direction.]]
[[>CC17 You are overcome with terror and start screaming, not understanding how you got here and with no idea how you are going to get back to school before the bell rings.]]
CC10CC. 1
You suddenly feel disoriented and claustrophobic, as you slowly lose consciousness, you are vaguely aware of the triumphant voices of the kids as they are released from the melting blocks of ice.

You have a sudden feeling of deja vu that you can't place and you feel disoriented. You look down and realize he has the coin. The world goes black as you lose consciousness.

CC13Your mouth begins to water as you see the ice cream stand and you start running, only to come to a sudden stop as if you have hit an invisible barrier. You ungraciously hit the ground. As you look up, dazed, you hear soft laughter and see a man of medium height with ginger hair and a well-groomed ginger beard standing over you, looking amused. Weirdly, his intense green eyes match his custom, designer Converse shoes. He's wearing a dark black coat with lots of pockets that looks vaguely familiar.
[[CC15 While screaming in terror you are also consumed by a sense of deja vu.-->>CC17 You are overcome with terror and start screaming, not understanding how you got here and with no idea how you are going to get back to school before the bell rings.]]
[[>CC16 You lash out with your feet, feeling threatened and kick him as hard as you can in the shins. ]]
CC12 Holding it up, you notice it's the perfect size to fit over both you and your two back packs. As long as you don't zip it up. You slip it on.
You walk to school nice and dry and notice how all the cars swerve to avoid hitting you.
[[>CV4 You feel safe.]]
[[>CV5 With all the cars swerving around you, the streets are chaotic and you worry for the group of pre Ks splashing in the puddles on the edge of the playground.]]

CV2CV4: This feeling of safety clings to you even as you remove the vest to unpack your backpacks and unload all of your stuff into your new locker. As you are finish getting all of your school supplies put away, all positioned at careful right angles to each other with nothing out of place by more than a half a millimeter, you realize that you don’t have anywhere to put the vest.
You consider selling it to the crosswalk guards for a generous profit, but somehow that seems wrong - everyone knows they get in that gig to exercise their need to boss people around and you just can’t contribute to that sort of thing. Instead you put the vest back on. Oddly, it fits perfectly and the day-glo orange even complements your first day of school outfit. You zip it up and are once again enveloped in a sense of safety - like you could take on the world and are assured to win. You walk into your new classroom and make your way to your desk. On the way you:
[[>CV6 cleverly side step the thrust out foot of the class bully.]]

You are shocked to receive a mighty slap across the face. Stunned, you stop screaming and with a graceful pirouette-like spin, judo kick the man standing in front of you in the face. You miss him completely and fall flat on your back, winded. He responds sarcastically in a soft, mystical voice, (italics)"You have more power than I thought, clearly you've been trained."
[[>CC22 Once again you find yourself screaming in terror, and running in circles.]]

WC3The tag on the back of the coat is somehow far more worn than the coat itself. It reads "Made in the United Territories of Pangea".
[[>WC5 Underneath that, handwritten letters: "If found, reward offered for return. Please call P. Master at 6@7(34+3.14).]]
[[>WC6 There are no other tags or information that you can find. You look through the pockets and discover a slightly bent business card for Tad Amphibious, CEO of McPatrick's Restaurant. The logo is a yellow, stylized P that looks vaguely familiar. The address is not far from your school and you are reminded of how hungry the first day of a new school year leaves you. You plan to go over at the end of the day to return the coat. Maybe you'll be rewarded with some free coupons for fries.]]
[[WC7 You put the coat back on to more easily go through the pockets. In one of the large outer pockets, you find an old-fashioned phone hand-set. As you pull it out, you realize the cord is still attached. You continue to pull as the cord piles up on the ground in front of you. After a few minutes of this, you hear giggles and look up to see you are surrounded by twenty awed kindergarteners. The one closest to you, Tad Jr, holds out his hand for the phone and you hand it to him. He takes it and sets off at a run, circling you and the other kids, the cord continuing to come out of the pocket of the coat. You suddenly realize you are surrounded by the enemy and have nowhere to go.]]

WC6As Tad Jr circles you, he seems to blur and grow larger. At the same time, the kindergarteners are being crowded closer and closer to you by the tightening phone cord. You are overwhelmed with a sense of dread. You begin to hyperventilate and have to consciously take deep breaths with your eyes closed. When you open them a few seconds later, you realize...
[[>WC8 Tad Jr is now looking down at you with an expression of pure evil from his newly acquired 20-foot height. You register that he is raising his foot with the intention of bringing it down on top of you. At the same time, you feel small sticky hands climbing up your legs, and into your coat. You realize that you are also growing, seemingly using the children as building material to become a similiar-sized giant to your opponent.]]
[[>WC9 you will have to take charge and work with what you have. You begin shouting "Left, Right, Left, Right and so on" Although there appears to be a lot of confusion between left and right, you are still effectively moving as a group, propelled by the sugar-fueled enthusiasm and energy of the kindergarteners. The kids suddenly notice, as one, the golden arches of a McPatricks restaurant and you find yourself speeding up in that direction, at a pace that Tad Jr is unable to match.]]
[[>WC10 you will need to enlist support from the kindergarteners that are flailing wildly. "I'll give every kid who works with me a dime for your loyalty." One mouthy kid responds with "everyone knows pennies are bigger and better and rare - I want pennies!" The other kids immediateley start chanting "Pennies, Pennies, Pennies..." You sigh heavily and agree to their demands.]]
WC7Your first day of school is pretty dull. Your new teacher tells you where all your classes are, but you immediately forget. You decide this is going to be the year that you just play it safe and follow the crowd. When you overhear some commotion about a kid showing up for school in a reindeer costume, you make your way to the other side of the room.
At lunchtime, it takes you an extra 10 minutes to get to the counter because you have to work your way around the dozen or so kindergarten kids encased in large ice cubes and the fire fighters working to free them and as a result all of the mac and cheese is sold out.
[[<RD9 You choose the special 'slop of the day' and decide outside to see how many kindergarten kids make it out alive, carefully avoiding involvement.]]
[[>RD10 You decide to stick with the lunch your mom lovingly packed for you: leftover birthday casserole brought back from your camping trip two weeks ago.]]
[[>RD11 You leave the cafeteria in frustration and decide to look for lunch options behind the school. You are about to resort to grazing on the grass when a tall kindergarten-repeater offers you some of their dried mushrooms. You gratefully accept and the two of you hang out and finish the baggie full of them.]]

CC20As your umbrella gets wet, you are aware of a very strong 'wet cow' aroma and realize that the reindeer costume is actually genuine reindeer fur. You carefully adjust the built-in highly adjustable stick fan that you designed yourself in order to blow the offending smell away from you.
[[>RD6 As you are tweaking the built-in speedometer on the umbrella, you realize that your construction project took longer than you had intended. The rain has stopped, school is over for the year and you are really hungry. It turns out rocks and sticks are not edible and you wander over to the nearby McPatricks fast food restaurant to beg for fries.]]
[[>RD7 When the rain stops, you take a moment to stop and pull the WATCH MODE lever on the umbrella's kick-pedal and watch it fold into itself and transform into your own design of a smart watch. You make a mental note to adjust the placement so that it doesn't end up around your neck next time. As you look up, you notice a tall, dark-haired CEO type looking at you.]]
[[>RD8 As you continue to make your way to school, the rain stops. You hit the button to initiate the compacting process to convert the umbrella into a convenient swiss army knife. You are surprised to see it continue to get smaller and smaller and disappear. You wonder if you over-tightened the springs as you look around for where it might be. After a few minutes, you give up looking for it, even though the 'wet cow' smell is now stronger than ever. You run off to school using the power of your back legs for extra speed.]]

As you are approaching the parking lot, you see a smallish grade one kid sitting on the ground crying with a scraped knee. As you lean down to his level to talk to him, you are aware of a crawly feeling, like small animals scampering over your body. A black hood comes down over your head and a lollipop is shoved into your mouth. You register that it’s raspberry flavour with an odd medicinal aftertaste.

You wander outside for air and collapse in front of one of the fire fighters still working to rescue the frozen kinder-cubes.
[[>RD12 You wake up in the hospital three days later. After another week of convalescing at home you start to plan your return to school. As you are walking out the door on your way to school, you are interrupted by the flash news report of your entire school blowing up, with some strange reference to a glow in the dark Canada 150 commemorative toonie.]]

[[>RD14 You rush towards the sound, running deeper into the debris field. You come across Timmy, the kid with the reindeer-costume from the first day of school. He's lying on the ground and is clearly in shock. He has no idea what just happened.]]
[[>RD15 You look around for emergency personnel, thinking you should go help whoever is hurt, but your eyes are caught by the shiny object again. You are compelled to bend over to check it out further.

Still stunned, the door closes and the van drives away with you inside. You fumble around in the dark, trying to open the door, but you fail.
