Thatās fine. As I said the suggestion can be done regardless. Thanks for getting back to me.
The issue was the code uses *gosub to jump back to the question code but didnāt actually return to that point instead you got sent back to the menu where the choices involve your partner.

*hide_reuse #D. Dieter.
Name: Dage Dieter
Age: 39
Background: Private Investigator found dead near the car of a missing wife whose husband, a local politician had hired him to find out if she was cheating. Reported missing along with the wife but she turned up a few days later saying someone had stolen her car and she'd been dumped in the sticks.
Last known sighting: Mr Dieter was spotted using an ATM five days ago. His own car and body was found near the wife's abandoned car. It looks like the victim was trailing the car not knowing the wife was no longer driving.
Only one victim name leftā¦

Yeah it can cause some easy to miss errors but its useful to for scenes where people reach multiple ways and saves you writing that multiple times.

If my story ever progresses to a point where I have to write a scene like that, I might attempt genocide. I donāt know who that genocide would be targeted at, maybe everything.

The following code is the activities available during the search for the vampire nest in the case āDrainedā.
Couple of questions about it;
- what kind of things would you like to talk about with your partner?
- what would you expect from the ācuddle partnerā option a sweet cuddling scene or a full romance scene?
- Anything else you would like to have as an option?

You've searched enough of the railway yard to safely confirm that the vampires aren't in any of the buildings in the railway yard, which only leaves the underground railway built below the yard which is how the companies got the decommissioned trains to the yard in the first place. It has been closed off from the main railways but there was still enough tunnels down there where the nest could be.

Just a sad update. My wifeās nan passed away in the early hours of the morning. (We were called just after 1am) it was expected but still was sooner than they thought.
I had got some days off work after today which I was going to spend writing but I wonāt be writing now as I intend to look after my wife and help her with kids getting them to school etc. Will continue once the wife is better
Keep enjoying the demo so far and Iāll be back as soon as I can.
Stay safe everyone!
