Behind the Music

You are a guitar player in an indie rock band. You are on stage, performing at
 a bar for a small crowd of your dedicated fans. You look out into the crowd
 and see that you have just made it to the last song. The audience is cheering
 wildly as you play.

Suddenly, a man steps up to the microphone. He looks like he has been drinking
 heavily all night
> Tell the man he has to get off the stage

You stand up from the piano bench and walk over to the microphone. "I'm sorry
 sir, but I can't let you play anymore".

The man's face shows surprise. "What do you mean?"

> Say "You aren't in the band, and you have to get off the stage."

"No, I'm not," you reply. "We're a two piece band, we don't need any more musicians".
He stares at you for a moment before replying. "Well what about me? Am I not
 needed?"
You smile at him
> Tell him he is not needed or wanted

"Sorry, but you are not needed, and you are not wanted here", you say. The man
 looks down and says nothing else. He walks away quickly as if he was afraid
 of your response.
A few minutes pass and you hear the crowd cheering again
> Play an encore

You turn around and look at the audience. They seem to be enjoying it, so you
 decide to keep playing. A couple people even start clapping along with you.
 You continue playing until you feel like you've run out of energy. Then you
 stop and take a deep breath
> Announce you will play one more song

You stand up and walk over to the microphone. "I'll be back next time, so please
 come see us!"
You leave the stage and head towards the door. As you open it, you see the crowd
 cheering and applauding. You wave goodbye and walk away from the club
> Drive to the hotel and go to sleep

You wake up early the next morning and drive to the hotel. It takes you awhile
 to find it since there are a lot of cars parked all over the place. Eventually
 you arrive and park near the front desk. After checking in, you walk inside
 and notice that the room is empty
> Look around for hotel staff

You walk around the hotel looking for hotel staff. Finally you spot them standing
 outside the lobby. One of them tells you they just got called into work and
 won't be able to help you today. Another one mentions that they are on vacation
 right now
> Ask them if they are on vacation or at work at the hotel where you are currently asking them to do their jobs

They both laugh nervously and say they are both at work. You sigh and walk away
 from them
> Decide to drive to the next town for tonight's concert

You decide to drive to the next town for tonight's concert. You drive through
 the night and eventually reach the next town. There are several bars and clubs
 in this town and you decide to check out one of them first. You enter a bar
 and order a drink
> Drink the drink and get on stage

You grab a beer from the fridge and sit down at a table. You start drinking the
 beer and soon fall asleep. When you awaken, you realize you haven't slept much.
 You spend the rest of the day doing various things that involve alcohol
> Continue drinking

After the sun sets, you make your way to the next town. This time you try to
 avoid most of the crowds by driving alone. You end up getting lost several times,
 but eventually you manage to find a quiet street where you think you know where
 the next club is located
> Enter the club and set up your guitar

You enter the club and set up your guitar. You then begin practicing. You practice
 for hours and hours, but nothing seems to happen. You call the police, but nobody
 answers. You decide to call the owner of the club, but he doesn't answer either
> Cry on stage while playing guitar

You decide to cry on stage while playing your guitar. Your tears flow freely
 as you play. Suddenly you feel something touch your arm. You look down and see
 a woman sitting at the bar. She smiles at you and asks if you want anything
> Tell her I want a beer and a better guitar

You tell her you want a beer and a better guitar. She laughs and gives you a
 beer. You thank her and she leaves. You spend the rest of the day playing music
 and drinking beer
> Wonder what the point of all this is

You suddenly remember how you met the girl who gave you the beer. You wonder
 why you are still doing this. You decide to quit and never return to the nightclubs
 ever again. You decide to live a normal life
> Live out my normal life

You live out your normal life. You become a teacher and retire to a peaceful
 retirement.
> Enjoy retirement

You enjoy retirement. You slowly lose interest in music and other things that
 used to bring joy to your life. You eventually die of old age.
> Wonder if there's anything after death

You wonder if there's anything after death. You ponder whether or not you should
 try to contact someone after you die. You decide against it. You figure you'd
 rather not bother trying to communicate with anyone when you might not get a
 positive result anyway.
YOU DIED. GAME OVER
