Interesting idea, but I’ve already got a solution to account for the tied voting. :)

I guess I missed the voting, but since it looks like a close thing, let me suggest a DIFFERENT cell… perhaps on the other side of the pond?

I gotta go with the bedroom because, frankly, it’s the most confusing option. VI could actually start to get a handle on what’s going on if he winds up back in his cell. And we certainly can’t have that!

If he wakes up in the hospital, that implies (at least to me), that the real cops actually do have some sort of control over the situation. Control = safety. No good for VI.

But a bedroom? That’ll pull the rug out from under VI again.

Nice. While I appreciate the horrific idea of him turning up back in his cell and think that it would be cool for that to happen at some point I think it’s too early in the narrative for that to happen without it looking a little forced. Don’t get me wrong, I love the whole “Oh god, I’m right back where I started!” thing as much as the next guy, but it can wear thin pretty easily if it’s overused.

The bedroom option would be a nice change of pace but if I’m guessing correctly about what it would mean, it’s probably a little too early in the narrative for THAT too. :)

So I went with the hospital – which I see is in the minority, but I think it was the best option because I kind of feel like he shouldn’t be safe (which he might be in the bedroom) but he shouldn’t be totally screwed either (which he would be in the cell; well okay, that might happen in the bedroom too, but still…). ;)

Back in my cell, definately. Six has been found by his ‘owners’ and let’s face it, that was bound to happen. Especially now it seems that they’re government sponsored. Rich is out of the game for now and probably for good since the Whitechapel guys found him too. That means that Six has lost his only lifeline to his past. What better way to re-connect the dots then by going back to the source? I actually thought about what Six could do should Rich kick the bucket. Back to the WCP was my choice awnser.
Now how does the WCP treat Six? They’re not happy, though impressed probably. He’ll be fixed in his cell a lot better this time. Can’t wait to see what you think of.
Cheers for another great turn of events!, Ivo

An other great episode. As for the choice: I took the hospital. The guy escaped from his first cell, so getting him back there, he might just escape again. A bedroom? With close to no security? Good way to escape. But in the hospital. People are everywhere. There is security. He probably won’t do anything crazy in public. I imagine Six tied to a gurney, with, of course, Mr Rich nowhere to be seen. But I think I might be loosing this one.

Thanks! I’m always trying to play with the format a bit.

It’s a special car! It’s designed differently!

(Good call. I should have had him crank the key and then slam it into reverse.)

You are a cruel man. I love that. :)

Screw going back to the beginning – the hospital, even if it could be a different one. Even the cell feels like taking a step back. A room – now that has possibilities.

Interesting concept with choosing something the protagonist has no control over. So far it has more felt like an elaborate version of “Choose your own adventure”. This is different. Cool.

Good stuff as always. The only nit-picky thing that jumped out at me was the fact a car won’t crank in Reverse. ;-)

Ohhh man. Another great show. I have less to mention this time about the choices but like always here’s my breakdown.

In a bedroom? This seems too out of no where for my tastes. Too random. Just doesn’t seem logical. I don’t know, just not a fan.

In a hospital? Maybe… we are at a hospital and it would make sense for his captures to make use of the facility before whoever arrives to collect Six. Still, I see a better option.

Back in my cell? It might just be my love of Lovecraft and the inevitable or it might be how I love seeing things come full circle but for Six to wake up in his cell again would be BRUTAL. I mean, come on! All this shit… for nothing. He couldn’t escape… at least not the first time. I love that idea.
