Interactive Fiction Exploration Style-e

Character: 21 year old man. 6'0", 200 lbs, skate shoes,baggy pants, collared long sleeve button up shirt, head phones, and a skull cap.
Setting: United States, California, SF, BUS Stop, 19th and Taraval, cold and foggy day.

- As you walk around the corner from Taraval to 19th Ave, you check the bus stop to see how many people are waiting for the 28 bus. You see 3 people huddled around the bus stop, peering southbound down 19th ave, attempting to catch a glimpse of the next bus arrival.
Your leg is in tremendous pain from an epic fall you endured while skating the day before.
Your body is begging you to take a seat, and rest your leg... Your mind is beginning to ponder whether or not (a)you want to sit in between the rancid derelict and the cute brunette on the bus stop bench, or (b) suck it up and lean against the brick wall until the bus arrives...

(a) You approach the bench, to cop a squat, and the derelict snarls at you. You immediately advert your eyes to the cute brunette, you briefly lock eyes, and almost as soon as your eyes have lock, you advert them again with insecurity rushing through your body. You're nervous, you want to (c) break the ice, and say hi to the cute brunette, but you'd almost rather (d) just smile and play with your cell phone.

(b) You slowly lean up against the wall, to avoid any interaction with that mangy hobo. As you finish propping yourself up against the wall, you noticed that you just stepped in a huge, wet, and gooey wad of gum. The cute brunette smiles at you during your moment of misfortune, you're feeling inclined to (e) smile back and give her a witty response. However, you're in so much pain you just might want to (f) belligerently curse at your unwanted misfortunes, in order to relive some of that tension the pain has built up inside of you.
