Here it is. @SweetRoll

It’s not perfect, but it won’t make you go crazy.

It's the deep of the night and you stand in a large clearing, facing the edge of the forest. It must be about 50 feet away. Not far, not close. A soft breeze blows against your skin ever so gently, carrying the scent of magnolias. You look up to see the full moon above. You watch as rays of light cast an ethereal glow upon the entrance of the forest just within reach. Ever closer. 

You've never been here before and yet this place feels so familiar. There is a pull of sorts, dragging you closer until you reach a stalemate. Neither of you moves.

There you stand, less than five feet from the forest, staring into the abyss of bark and leaves. Moonlight flitters through the foliage. A silent flood of fog eddies at your ankles, coming from within the forest. Beyond the grove lies ÃƠtonne. The trees sing a soft lullaby with its leaves, its branches beckoning you to enter.

Betwixt the moonlight and the trees conversation, who could resist the welcoming forest?

    #I take a step forward. I feel welcomed. 
        *set distrustful -5
        Entranced, you take a step forward, the snapping crunch of fallen leaves and twigs beneath your feet. The soft light from the moon dims inside the forest.
    #I refuse to go further. This doesn't feel right. 
        *set distrustful +5
        There is something unsettling and you turn from the forest. In the midst However, you feel something pull you in. 
        
Were there clouds tonight? you think, however, you must run towards the light as it dissipates faster. Before you realize, you are jumping over gnarled tree roots.

*ending

And always use *fake_choice.

*choice is so annoying.

From how I remember *choice always has to end with *finish or something like that and always has to go somewhere. *goto

But with *fake_choice, you don’t have to worry about all of that.
