that interactive story I still care about

You approach a woman and try to talk to her, to get her to do something. She just looks at you dully, then looks at your wrist where you have an aforementioned ribbon tied to you. Then she starts to walk away.

What a debbie downer! That was quite rude of her, was it not? All the people here are like that, and it does get to be quite frustrating. You've tried everything, but never dared to really invade their personal space, like poke one or try and remove one of the ribbons they all have tied to their wrists just like yours.
