Do Not Touch The Coffee (CYOA)

Don't touch the coffee. That's literally all you have to do. Just don't touch it. It's that simple. Why am I bothering to explain?

Rules
- All actions are first come, first served. The only exception is where you'd logically be able to do both actions (i.e, look around and then walk somewhere.)
- Keep the flow of the story. Don't walk down the street then post "I suddenly jump all the way to Mars and beat up Rick Astley."
- Do not touch the coffee!

Jimothy stands in his room. There is a bed to the left and a door in front of him. Behind him is the window, and to the right is a computer.

What does Jimothy do?

Wonder whether or not this is based on Go Get Some Coffee, given the coffee and the underlining of important objects.

You ponder the idea that your universe is based on another universe.

Unfortunately, you have not yet found a gate, so you have no way of proving or disproving this theory.

Find some gloves to put on.

Kinda wondering the same thing about if Go Get Some Coffee is based on a CYOA I unsuccessfully made (due to me not knowing what the term "planning ahead" means) that was about you getting some coffee.

Kinda makes me want to do a better planned out reboot of that.

Jimothy can not find gloves, but he is able to find mittens. Unfortunately it is rather warm outside, although it will have to do.

Normally, this would be a violation of the rules, but there doesn't appear to be any coffee made, so you can't touch it anyways.

Jimothy steps outside. The sun is really bright, but thankfully, does not seem to hold any coffee, so he doesn't have to look at it.

There are several other houses in Jimothy's neighborhood. Perhaps one of his neighbors might have some coffee.

The road also stretches out in two directions - the left and the right.

Jimothy runs into the house of his neighbor Sarah. He does not know Sarah well at all, but this does not stop him from demanding coffee.

"What? Who are you? Why do you want coffee? Get out of my house!" Sarah frantically shouts.

Jimothy would, at this point, produce a knife, but he forgot to bring one when he ran into Sarah's house.

Tell Sarah that you need to touch the coffee.
Wait, or did you need to not touch the coffee?

Quote from: findaneggpunch sara, get cofe wile she is distarcted
Instead of bothering to see what you were supposed to do, you simply punch Sarah in the face and go look for some coffee.

While you find cereal, donuts, and orange juice, you can not seem to find coffee in Sarah's kitchen.

Jimothy runs out of Sarah's house, leaving Sarah confused as to what this strange person just did to her kitchen.

Jimothy is now in the middle of the street.

Jimothy rushes back to his house, grabs his wallet, and goes down to the café.
Quote from: findanegggo into a cafe, punch barista until they make you coffee
Jimothy considers punching this barista so he can get some coffee without having to pay, meaning he can have both money and coffee.
Quote from: DaEpikDudeno don't do that
However, he instead decides against this.

Order coffee.

Actually, no. Run frantically, screaming "I NEED COFFEE" and find another person's coffee and then touch it like a deranged person.
I have returned.

Jimothy orders coffee, like a sane person. However, he quickly reconsiders, and leaps after another customer, hoping to touch their coffee.
Quote from: findaneggpunch the barista
Jimothy, overwhelmed by the possibilities, tries punching the barista, but slips in his confusion and falls onto the floor of the café.
