The sound of a buzzing alarm slowly wakes you from your stupor. You can't remember exactly what you were dreaming about, only that it was vaguely terrifying. Glancing down, you see your pajamas are drenched in sweat. Funny, all you can remember is close to the end. 
You think it had something to do with a book. But oh well, it was just a bad dream, and one you can't even remember at that. It clearly isn't im[injection]portant in the slightest.

You realize you are still groggy from sleep and you're having trouble thinking coherent thoughts. Hell, you can barely remember your name. As you slowly become more and more self aware, you remember both your name and the fact that today, October 5th, happens to be your 17th birthday.

What is your name?

This is a project I plan on doing I'm calling "Off With Their Head". Clearly it involves Alice in Wonderland, however, I don't think I'll explain how just yet. Instead, I'll give you the basics of how this story is directly influenced by your choices.

As you can see in the previous post, you have been given two command:// options. You are given a choice: You may choose one option, or the other. Every post will give you two or three new options: each will branch the plot in a different way.
This first choice obviously sets up a good part of the whole story. Rest assured, however: The person not chosen will become the companion protagonist.

With that said, here are some basic rules:
Be polite.
Critiques are welcome.
Do not be upset just because your choice is not picked. In some cases, if I feel that it would lean the plot away from where I'd like it to, I will go with the other option.

This is a project to see what will happen if I give YOU free reign.

Eve shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. There was a dream, that much she was sure of. She remembered a book near the end, as well as a flash of chilling black metal. Was there a scream? She wasn't sure, and passed it off as just a bad night.

Urgh.  Conflict.  Real me would peek at the messages and then go back to sleep without answering.  I loves my sleep...  *stares at choices*

Eve rubs her eyes and decides to post-pone a shower to take a quick look at her Bothergrams. Opening her laptop, she sees that her computer had exploded with messages while she was asleep.

MC: hey eve guess what?
MC: its almost your birthday, how about that? :D
MC: now youll be ALMOST as old as me! but not quite.
MC: i guess youre asleep...
MC: anyways, its midnight now! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

suiteHeart bothered mirroredReflection at 04:07, October 5th
SH: Hey, Eve. It's your birthday today; just wanted to let you know that I sent your present a few weeks back, so it should get there in time. Talk to you soon! <3

hackerJack began bothering mirroredReflection at 06:28, October 5th
HJ: hey eve
HJ: i heard it was ur bday so i sent u something via email
HJ: just wanted 2 let u know that it isnt a virus
HJ: just trust me. its 4 ur own safety
HJ: *censored* i gotta go
HJ: ill c u later ok? bye

Eve groaned. How the hell is she supposed to answer all these Bothergrams?  MC and SH weren't even on, and HJ was on Do Not Disturb. Nobody in their circle of friends really knew what went on with him--he could be really dodgy. Shrugging it off, Eve logged into her email. Sure enough, a sketchy-looking file showed up.
Portal.vrf
Download?

Wasn't Portal that puzzle game? The now-17 year old had mentioned wanting it to the 'rentals, but never bothered to tell HJ, SH, or MC. Whatever. 
Eve presses the Download button.

You have been awake for quite a while now, and so you have no trouble remembering your name. Your name is Elijah Noel, and you have just received a message from a close (internet) friend, hackerJack. You generally just call him Jack though. Although you know mirroredReflection's and suiteHeart's names, none of you knew Jack's real name. He was one of those friends.

hackerJack began bothering madlyCapricious at 13:44 October 5th.
