A Hard Left Turn at Albuquerque

Poll closed.

For most of the 48 hours the Plot Plinko poll was up, "Stick with these guys" held a large lead, but during the last 12 hours "Go home" surged to edge ahead of it.

But even this last-minute come-from-behind move wasn't enough. "Go home" and "Stick with these guys" both fell before a massive GP vote for the Warehouse, so that the final results were:

Warehouse: 40.3%
Go home: 31.5%
Stick with these guys: 28.2%

This is mixed news for me, because "Stick with these guys" was the choice I had written, and had written out to 6 chapters. So now I have to write a different branch than the one I'd been planning. Luckily, that GP vote for the Warehouse came in early enough and was big enough that I was able to prepare, so you do get a chapter for today:

Interactive: "Making a Makeover" 
Public: "Making a Makeover" 

And there is a new poll to go with it: "BoM Poll: "Making a Makeover""  As with the last one, it will be open for 48 hours. [Closes Monday, March 10, at 12:00 ET].

I choose to look on the bright side. Though my plans were instantly derailed, I do have half a dozen chapters now in the backlog, which I can roll out at some other point.

But for now, I have to scramble to find some way of continuing the story.
