Tuesday dawns with all the energy of a slumbering sloth. Natalie is nowhere to be seen, probably off to her 8 AM class already; you, on the other hand, are free to spend the morning as you please.

*fake_choice
    #I am going right the hell back to sleep. It is too early for cognitive function.
    #I'm going to work on one of my personal projects!
    #Twitter time. Unfortunately.

The morning whiles away, and at noon Natalie bursts in, wild-eyed and slightly disheveled. "${name}! Did you know," she demands, "that people put sugar in table salt so the salt doesn't go yellow?"

You blink.
*fake_choice
    #"Yes?"
        "Why didn't you tell me?" Natalie cries.
        
        "I… didn't think it was important?"
        
        "It's an affront to mankind is what it is," she says, scowling as she sits down on her bed with slightly more force than necessary. "What's for lunch?"
    #"No?"
        *goto nope
    #"What?"
        *label nope
        "Neither did I," says Natalie, "until Professor Bankridge saw fit to upend my entire perspective of life, the universe, and everything."
        
        "How did she fit that into a syllabus on dead languages?"
        
        Natalie shrugs, sitting down on her bed. "Power of tangents, I guess. What's for lunch?"

You panic mildly. "Was I supposed to cook?"

Natalie snorts. "No! I was wondering if we should go order takeout, is all." She looks around the room, and
*if (you_fluid)
    her gaze lands on the "depends" pin. "Oh, yeah. Pronouns today?"
    
    *label pronounchoice
    *fake_choice
        #"'He' today, I think."
            *gosub_scene sub_setpronouns he
        #"'She' today, I think."
            *gosub_scene sub_setpronouns she
        #"'They' today, I think."
            *gosub_scene sub_setpronouns they
        #I'm using a neopronoun today.

    "$!{you_xe} and ${you_xem}?" Natalie bounces slightly on the bed.
    
    *choice
        #"Yeah. Now about takeout…"
            Natalie grins. "Chinese?"
            *goto takeout
        #"Wait, no, hang on."
            "Take your time," Natalie says, amused.
            *goto pronounchoice
*else
    then back to you. "Chinese?"
    
*label takeout

[[i]And here ${you_xe} and Natalie did in fact get takeout (you decide what kind of takeout it was), but that is the end of the tutorial. I hope it helped![/i]]
