[i]This topic [s]may not[/s] ABSOLUTELY will not get updates super frequently but I feel like running a CYOA regardless.[/i]
This is Jim.
Jim has just woken up. He is about to go for a normal day at his normal job. Jim knows that he likes his job.
What he doesn't know is he's about to divide by zero, destroying the universe.
Your goal is to do [i]anything but controlling Jim[/i] in order to stop him from destroying the universe.
[b]Rules[/b]
- Jim will take an action each turn, just as if he was the main character in some other CYOA.
- You can do anything that doesn't directly control Jim or directly alter his actions. [i]Indirectly[/i] altering them is fine.
- Jim has Level 5 Plot Armor™ and is very good at adapting to new situations. Stopping Jim will be difficult.
- You can not destroy the universe, it's your job to stop that!
- You can not make dividing by zero possible. Doing so will destroy the universe no matter what.
- Outside of that, [i]anything goes[/i]. Alter anything about Jim and the universe he lives in to stop him.
[b]Turn 0[/b]
Jim wakes up and gets out of bed.

Bam! All calculators now cost $1 per use. You can, of course, buy the [b]Platinum Subscription[/b] for $100 a year. You have a sneaking suspicion this is the work of some two-letter company famous for video games...

Jim already has plenty of motivation to divide by zero, he doesn't need more!
But no NPC appears, since you chose to cancel the action. For now, everything is safe.
[quote=IncendiaryGaming]A giant man with a big gun will show up and slap Jim if he gets close to a calculator[/quote]
The GIANT MAN with his BIG GUN are now following Jim. Jim is not very sure who this GIANT MAN is. Perhaps he is the infamous Heavy Weapons Guy?
[quote=Luigis_Pizza]A band of calculator hating persons appear.[/quote]
Of course! Outside of Jim's house, the annual Protest Against Calculators is going on. You might think they just don't like math, but they're actually funded by the abacus industry.

Despite many people's warnings, Jim does not care. His goal is to divide by zero! After all, it's his job.

Jim turns to look at the microwave. He goes ahead and turns the microwave off by unplugging it from the wall.
[quote=Byron_Inc_TBG]His roommate stops the microwave at 1 second remaining and starts to chat with him about linguistics.[/quote]
Jim has a hearty conversation about linguistics with his roommate! He briefly forgets all about dividing by zero.
[quote=Joyous Theta]Jim's boss breaks through Jim's window and tells Jim that he's fired.
Jim's boss then notices the conversation and decides to join in.[/quote]
Oh yes! Jim's boss reminds him, he needs to divide by zero today!
It's quite unfortunate that he was fired, but he can still do the work for the heck of it. He should have a calculator or something around here somewhere...
[quote=TonyBrown148]Aliens shoot lasers at Jim's house.[/quote]
The lasers, not calibrated for Earth technology, reflect off of the vinyl siding on the side of Jim's house. It appears the aliens will need something stronger in order to stop Jim.

The Yeet Machine™ sits in the yard, awaiting Jim's approach towards a calculator.
[quote=ChaoticControversies]Calculators get banned and any calculator that existed gets snapped out of existence.[/quote]
Jim, blissfully unaware that the calculators are all gone, simply thinks he has misplaced his calculator. No matter! Jim can always divide by zero manually.

"Ban math"? Seems kind of strange that everyone would say that, Jim thinks, but nothing has happened yet, so he can still divide by zero!

After it was revealed that Jim has no romantic preferences, people seem to want to date him and because of that he has no time for calculating, let alone dividing by zero.
