Yeah, sorry about that guys. I decided it to be too big a plot point in the story, though that wasn't until half way through writing the first attempt...




A. Hover Boots!

Seeing as you couldn't open the door and what was in the room, you decide to see these "Compatible Experiments".

"Oh, let's go and see the hover boots!"Mark says, as he sprints off down the hall. You grab the I.D card, and run off after him. Your arm still feels funny from the electric shock, but you decide to ignore it. You run back through the corridors, weaving left and right, and running up and down stairs. After a few minutes, you stop to catch your breath, and wonder if Mark really knows where he is going. Jogging slowly round the corner, you see he has stopped next to a door. Over the door, you see a plaque, with the words "Hover Boots Testing" engraved on it.

"See? Like I've always said; If you keep going left, you'll get there eventually!" he laughs, though you can see he is surprised by the discovery. You see a scanner next to the door, and slide the I.D though it. This time, you hear a beep, and a clicking. Gingerly, you push the door handle down. You give a sigh of relief as you realise it is just a normal door, and enter the room.

Inside, you can see a few important looking people wondering around the outside of what appears to be a large, see through, padded bubble. In the middle of the bubble, you can see a tester, floating about haphazardly. You can see she is nervous as she starts moving round the bubble. A few screens are dotted round the room, some displaying information on the test, and the others monitoring the experiment. As you look at one of the screens, the girl starts speaking.

"A-As you can see, the boots a-aren't quite finished, but they aaaalmost there!" she tells the officials. You can see she is trying her hardest to keep her balance as she hovers round the bubble.

"Oi, Leanne! I didn't know you made those!" Mark shouts, as he taps the bubble. Looking up, you see her start wobbling. "I'm trying to concentrate MaaaAAAAHHH!" she screams, as she loses control and does a few flips, before landing on the floor, feet first. A few of the officials clap, before leaving the room, talking about what they had seen. As the last of them leave, the door shuts behind them.

"Gee, thanks Mark. You ALMOST ruined my demonstration!" she snaps, as part of the bubble opens, and she storms out. "Hey, at least you got some flips in! Though you should of worn the skirt, and really given them something to look a-" Mark starts, but is cut short as the girl slaps him. "You could at least PRETEND to be concerned!" she says, before laughing at the look on Marks face. "Oh come on, I didn't hit you THAT hard" she jokes, before going over to one of the screens.

"Oh, and in answer to your question, I didn't make them. I'm just testing them before the demonstration later" she calls over, without looking away from the screen. "Would you like to help me? I need to collect some data"

A. Test the boots
B. Let Mark test the boots

Fairly sure I've given up.
So HE gets to have FUN because he's a pervert?

That's backwards logic D:

I say A, let's go test these mofo's out ourselves!

A. We'll be one 1/2 of Iron Man, because Iron Man is useless. All he can do is fly and punch hard.

Looks like a tie-breaker. I've used a decision maker, and here is the result:




A. Test the Boots

"I'll test them! They can't be THAT hard..." Mark says, and runs over to the bubble. He starts looking for a way in, before turning back to Leanne. "How do I get in?"

"YOU don't! I don't trust you with these" she tells him, and sighs. "Anyway, I'm still wearing the boots". She kneels down, and clicks a button on the side of the boots. They make a hiss noise, and the tongue of the boots lift up, allowing Leanne to pull her foot free.

You slide your foot into the boot, and nervously lick the button. The boots hiss again, and the tongue lowers, and you feel the boots clamp to your feet. There is a rather uncomfortable feeling in the sole of your feet, but it fades rather quickly. Looking up at the bubble, you decide to walk over, so you can get used to the boots. To your surprise, they are incredibly light.

As you approach the bubble, you see part of it open automatically. You look round at Leanne, who smiles, before turning back to the screen. Taking a deep breath, you walk into the center bubble, with the door closing behind you. "Ok, now, to start the boots, just concentrate on hovering, then concentrate on where you want to move"

You stand there for a few seconds, taking deep breaths, before closing your eyes and concentrating on hovering. At first, nothing happens, but suddenly, you feel the boots start working. You open your eyes to have a look, but break your concentration. Mark laughs at you as one boot boosts your leg up, causing you to fall onto your back. Blushing, you get back onto your feet, and try again.

This time, you manage to hover about a clear foot off the floor. Smiling to yourself, you think about moving forward. You go slowly at first, before slowly going faster and faster round the bubble. "That's brilliant! Thank you!" Leanne shouts, as she prints off some stats. "I've been trying to get this data all morning, but it's hard to do when you keep worrying about the event later". Looking at her watch, she grabs the last few bits of data. "Look's like we're out of time. We should get going. You can wear them to the event if you want to"


A. Hover to the event
B. Walk to the event
C. Go on the truck
D. "Hover surf"




Sorry if this update is a bit boring, I sort of lost my muse D:

I promise next update will be better. I know which option I want to win...
