Pick your path to the ending.

Oh. Hello. You can't see nor find me, but know that you will be tested upon your actions. You will make many choices in the following few days, each leading to a different outcome. You can choose in a certain manner, or be yourself, and find your outcome. I will be there, at the end, waiting…

(NOTE: This is only a demo. The longer version will be out later.)
(If anyone blames me for stealing Blueshift's idea, I will completely ignore them, as this is much different. Instead of paths connecting to each other, you can't go back.)

You decided to take the Weather Pony job. Reading further, you find shifts can be chosen. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. You decided to worry about that later.

"Whatcha doin'?"

You turn your head towards Shine.

"I'm reading the newspaper. I picked a job I'm going to get."

"What job?"

You didn't stop her as she peered over to see the words on the page.

"I picked the Weather Pony job. You know what that is?"

"Of course I do! Pegasi go into the sky and make the clouds change the weather!"

You smiled at her crude yet accurate explanation.

You turn your head towards the time and get up. You feel like exploring a part of Ponyville now.

Let Shine come?

>Yes

>No

You decided to become a Mail Carrier. Looking further, you find that you can pick work days. Either Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. You decided to worry about that later.

"Watcha doin'?"

You turn your head to Shine.

"I'm looking for a job on the newspaper."

"Have you picked one yet?"

You didn't stop her as she attempted to peer over onto the page.

"I picked the Mail Carrier. Do you know what that is?"

"Aren't those the ponies that deliver mail?"

You nod at Shine's description.

You look towards the clock and get up. You feel you want to explore a part of Ponyville while you can.

Bring Shine with you?

>Yes

"What job did you pick?"

You didn't stop her as she peered over to see the words on the page.

"I picked the News Reporter job. You know what that is?"

"Uh... not really..."

"It's where you go around finding interesting news to put on the newspaper."

"Oh! Okay!"

"Welcome. It appears you've found your way into my... humble abode."

You slowly open your eyes and stand up to find yourself shrouded in darkness. You look around for the old female voice just a few seconds ago.

"Don't try looking for me. I am merely a mental thought."

You stop looking and listen to the voice.

"In the next few week or so, you will be tested upon your actions. Each set of actions results in a different ending. You can choose carefully, or carefree. Each one finds a different fate. *chuckle* Well, I'll see you soon..."

You attempt to call out to the voice, but your words are silenced. You feel dizzy...

*BEEP! BEEP!*

You slowly open your eyes and lift yourself up, stretching your wings and you turn towards the small mechanic beeping in your blurry vision. You rub your eyes in an attempt to clear it, but to no avail.

Eventually, you become self conscious, and turn off your alarm clock. You get up and undress out of your night clothes for your first real day in Ponyville.

"Good morning! Did you get a good sleep?"

You lazily turn your head towards the happy young voice of your younger sister, Shine, and simply nod your head in response. She smiles and follows you downstairs.

"A new town! This is so exciting! I wonder how much fun we're going to have and how many friends I'm gonna make at my new school!"

You simply smile at the yellow pegasus that is your sister. You turn towards the front door and open it to find the weekly newspaper sitting on the mat. You pick it up and bring it back inside, going to the job opening section.
