WOOH! Well, it was very close on the votes last time. But, by my count, it's time we all went to the psybrary. Enjoy!

* * *

You had assumed the psybrary was a high tech way to download information directly into your brain. Turns out it's a cute name for the kids' section of a regular library. Just to be certain, you talk to the sweet middle aged lady in overalls and pigtails who works the front desk.

With the kind of smile that usually accompanies a repressed urge to murder, murder, and murder a third time, she explains that you can indeed download information directly into your brain… through your eyes… by reading!

She tells you reading is an adventure. You flick her off, tell her her face is an adventure, then walk away. “Nice one,” you mutter to yourself.

Then you notice something strange. All the children here are popping ADHD medication like clockwork every 5 minutes. And not only are they constantly using drugs, it seems like their mothers aren't even watching them!

If you seize the opportunity to beat one up and take his delicious drugs, go to 36.

If you suck it up, read your books, and take the damn test, go to 64.
