The Town Named Palermo (by Mushroom)

You are in a town named Palermo. You are a detective on an undercover mission and you were told to catch one famous spy. Palermo is well known for criminals and mafia. Your boss gave you three job ideas about what you could pretend to be. Remember that you need to choose something that will make it easier for you to catch your target. Will you choose... [[BAKER]] Shortly you will also be able to play as: POLICE OFFICER or HOMELESS. Have fun! :D

You chose to work in the local bakery. After some time you befriended a lot of people. One day your friend John walked in at 8am to buy cinnamon roll as usual. "Hi dear friend! My, my, have you heard about the gossip??" he asked lively. He was not always like that. From what you knew, he was suffering from depression. "You didn´t?? Well i must tell you! There is a gossip that there is an undercover detective in town!" You are too scared to be exposed, so you say [[NOTHING]] [[PRETEND THAT YOU ARE SUPRISED]]

As a homeless person you have dirty clothes, and you look definitly amazing. Just kidding you look like trash. And now you are leaned against the big trashcan and begging people for food. Nobody cares about you, they don´t even notice you...Oh except for one! A young man took cinnamoroll out of his pocket and gave it to you. But he looks suspision... [[TAKE AND EAT IT]] [[TAKE BUT DON´T EAT IT]]

From shock and disbelief that someone knows that, you just stared at him. He raised brow. "Are you all right? What´s with that face darling?" he asked kindly. He was so kind...that much, that it was weird. You say: [[I HAVE TO GO NOW]] [[WHO DO YOU THINK IS THAT ´´UNDERCOVER DETECTIVE´´...?]]

You have learned a lot of acting skills in your life so it´s easy to play a suprised guy. Your company notices that and it turns out that he was also playing. ´´Please, don´t act that you are surprised... You know it´s you. He smirked. You felt something behind your head. It was gun. [[JUMP OVER THE COUNTER AND HIDE UNDER IT]] [[PUT YOUR HANDS UP]] [[USE YOUR FIGHTING SKILLS AND THROW SHOOTER BEHIND YOU OVER THE COUNTER]]

You are police officer now, but you are too visible. When will somebody see you, they will probably lock their mouth

Before your friend says anything, you run into your ´´staff only´´ room and quickly sprint out of the backdoor. Somebody knows your true identity...you need to leave. [[QUICKLY CALL NEAREST TAXI TO DRIVE YOU TO PLANE STATION]] [[QUICKLY CALL NEAREST CAR TO DRIVE YOU TO PLANE STATION]]

He smirked. He leaned closer and whisperred: ´´Guess´´... Now you felt something touched the back of your head. It was a gun. You earn 3 points for at least surviving 3 pages... to be honest, you would be horrible detective hah. THE END (enchant: ?page, (background: red) + (text-colour: white))

You try to jump but right before the jump they shot you in the head. You really thought that you will have enough time for it? HOW... (you earn 0 pints by the way. It was too stupid to be graded) THE END (enchant: ?page, (background: red) + (text-colour: white))

´´Oh, this is even easier that i thought it will be!´´ John laughed and poined also his gun on you. "Now do what i say ´´detective´´. Give us all your money, and your weapons. Then we will shoot you. You all right with it?" he laughed on the ´´amazing joke´´ he made. [[DO WHAT THEY SAY]] [[TRY TO ARGUE.]] Because if they kill you, they will loose any chance to know the things you know as detective...what if you know how to break into a bank or something?

You called taxi and the driver drove you on the plane station. Then you flew back to London and lived there for rest of your life solving another crimes. The ´´Palermo mission´´ failed, but at least you saved yourself! This was smart! Rather safe than sorry. You earn 10 points for good ending (plus, you found yourself a husband, had 2 kids and lived happilly together) ~The end~ (enchant: ?page, (background: green) + (text-colour: white))

You asked the driver of that car to drive you there... but it was somebody with gun waiting there...and very similiar face in the backseat. "Oh hi dear friend! John spoke. "Your here just in time!´´ He took out a revolver and shot you in the forehead. You earn 5 points. Next time don´t trust strangers, silly ;) THE END (enchant: ?page, (background: red) + (text-colour: white))

You throw the shooter over the counter and grab your revolver and handcuffs. You wanted to catch John (if it was even his real name) but he already left. You ran out of bakery and looked around. Turn on your deductive skills and try to think where he would go: [[SUPERMARKET]] [[BANK]] [[SEWERS]]

"Good guy... don´t worry, it will hurt only few seconds..." Guess you didn´t knew what to do huh? Next time try to defend yourself more. (you earned 3 points) THE END (enchant: ?page, (background: red) + (text-colour: white))

"Hmmm... good idea I guess. Tell us how to rob the bank then!" John said. You took him to the bank that was right next to the police station. You handcuffed his hands and told police to take care of him. John was the spy. The case is solved and you earn the medal!!! Good job!!! You solved the case, and caught the spy. You earn 50 points for solving the whole thing!! :D ~the end~ (enchant: ?page, (background: yellow) + (text-colour: red))

Why... why he would go to the supermarket...? Be more logical! [[BANK]] [[SEWERS]]

No he didn´t... but police thought that you were trying to rob the bank... have a nice rest of you´r life in jail! You thought he would want to steal something? Nice try but i would not try to rob the bank while i was trying to safe my life... (you earnt 7 points) THE END (enchant: ?page, (background: red) + (text-colour: white))

While you walked into this stinky place, John behind you spoke: "Looks like you found me, huh? Well go on. Handcuff me. Just try it" he offers you both of his hands. You looked at them and noticed weird stuff on his hands. Those were electric gloves. You can´t just touch it...or can you? [[TRY TO HANDCUFF HIM, IGNORING THE GLOVES]] [[SIMPLY POINT GUN AT HIM]]

The electric shock hit you and you fell into the sewers water and drown. ...Why did you even touch that... (you earn 5 points because you got far, but you did stupid thing) (enchant: ?page, (background: red) + (text-colour: white))

He put his hands up and begged for mercy: ´´NO! NO! PLEASE DON´T HURT ME! I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING!!!´´ then he said that he was that spy all the time and that John is not even his name. He put of gloves and let you handcuff him. Case solved. Congratulation!! You did it! You didn´t die and you caught the spy! You earn a medal and 50 points!! ~the end~ (enchant: ?page, (background: yellow) + (text-colour: red))

You just fell in trap. That cinnamoroll was poisoned, and the young man was your spy that recognised you. Next time don´t trust strangers that much (you earn 0 points) THE END (enchant: ?page, (background: red) + (text-colour: white))

You thank to the man, but in case you rather not eat it.
