How's CD faring?

[Arch Lich Burns]

Hold her hand?

[M0rtimer]

==>

How's CD faring?

Yeah, you might as well check up on the others if you're going to wait here anyways- Oh look, there's the berserker. Seems he managed to finally beat that guy.

You radio to the bard. He picks up and asks what's the matter boss. You ask him if that's music you're hearing on the background. He says it's the music elemental. You ask him if he's fighting it. He says erm, yeah. I am totally killing her, he says. You say good, you should be able to take her if she's alone. He says sure thing boss. He then asks if you knew her name was Melody. You say you don't really care.

==>

Hold her hand?

Hold whose hand? You are, and have always, clearly been, the HUMONGOUS BERSERKER. And the only other person in the room seems to be your boss, who's just ahead of you in the room, radioing in to one of the others.

Of course, had there been a girl you would have easily swooped her off her feet. Many girls have fallen before your mighty displays of strength, after all, even though you are holding out for that SPECIAL ONE.

You notice the same painting on the wall that your boss does. You think you remember it. It's some kind of artifact called "the prize". But you don't really know much about it. Not because you don't want to, but because it's so complicated. Just like most everything else. Sometimes you think that whatever god is up there made things as complicated as he could make them for no discernible reason.

All the guys will claim they are the best with the ladies.

The truth is none of them are.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Go for the Kiss! ...that's anybody by the way, mort

[madmartin26]

SS: alright, this is getting boring, time to scout out ahead. You're the best suited for it anyway.

[Arch Lich Burns]

But kiss luck first

[M0rtimer]

==>

Go for the Kiss! ...that's anybody by the way, mort

Mort? Who is this Mort?

You bet whoever he is he must be one big smartass.

Anyways, the only person in the room here is your boss. And while you may love him, you love him completely in a completely platonic fashion.

Also you're afraid that he's going to stab you if you come within his personal space.

==>

SS: alright, this is getting boring, time to scout out ahead. You're the best suited for it anyway.

Right. If you had to wait around for the other guys each and every single time, you would probably still be stuck in your first dungeon. In the lever room.

God damn that lever room.

Anyways, you're scouting ahead into the next room, using your SPADES CLOAK to be almost completely invisible to the unaware eye. No doubt you'll be able to...

...Shit.

It's HIM.

==>

But kiss luck first

Luck ran away 5 minutes ago. And you're certainly not kissing HIM.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Okay CD, ask her out for a date and ask what she is doing in the dungeon.

[M0rtimer]

==>

Okay CD, ask her out for a date and ask what she is doing in the dungeon.

Oh my, ask her out? On a date? An actual date date? You don't think you can do that yet... You mean you've only been talking with her for half an hour, and most certainly could not perform such a bold move! Not... Not because you're too afraid of course. Just because of... Reasons.

You do however, have the guts to ask what she is doing in the dungeon. She says the mistress summoned me. You say you expected as much. You ask what she is supposed to do however. She says I think I was supposed to kill you?

You stare for a moment and then ask if she's actually going do so. She says no.

She says that being highest class elementals, they pretty much got free will. So... Meh.

With that being said, she says, it would be a bad idea for me to help you.

You say you don't care and want to play the fool's ballot next. She says sure.

[M0rtimer]

>Exit to main menu

You suddenly quit the current game. It's getting kind of boring you think. You almost feel like whoever wrote this somehow managed to back himself in a corner or something. You're just going to leave it for a while. Maybe when you get back to it, things will have magically advanced themselves to a point where you can pick back up from, should you want to. It's not like this... Raven ring, or this prize, or this "Jinx" person or whoever "HIM" is supposed to be will have any significant purpose to the main story. That would just be silly.

You return to the MAIN MENU- From here you get a selection from available PERSONS, each with their own CHAPTERS you could participate in. People you actually know for once! But who to pick first...

-Ansem
-The captain
-The Doctor
-Jax
-Mobius
-Tripp/Kaleidon

[Arch Lich Burns]

Nigh. Pick Nigh.

[M0rtimer]

Nigh. Pick Nigh.

You enter "Nigh" into the console, but no response. Either that is a character that isn't unlocked yet, or there is nothing of interest to say about him. Didn't you already get the most important part of his back-story already anyways? The part where he was brutally beheaded?

Anyways, best to stick with the list. You severely doubt you're going to unlock one of the secret characters in this way.

[Arch Lich Burns]

That's ORDER, not NIGH. Go back to NIGH.

[M0rtimer]

You try entering "Nigh" again, but again to no avail. Seems whoever that guy is it's going to stay locked. Not that you'd ever confuse yourselves with characters. It would be total nonsense to assume you would mix up characters once between the hundreds of characters the party has already met.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Fine. Select mortimer.

[madmartin26]

After typing in Mortimer, pause for a second before pressing enter. Then, with an evil grin, add a comma and "The captain" as well, and then press enter.

>Nautical adventures with a pirate captain and a mouse: Ensue.

[M0rtimer]

After typing in Mortimer, pause for a second before pressing enter. Then, with an evil grin, add a comma and "The captain" as well, and then press enter.

Wait, what? This machine does not work in that way.

...Who are you kidding it totally does.

The rat and the captain have absolutely amazing pirate adventures before retiring old and happy.

It is amazing.

And all non-canon.

Seriously though, typing in Mortimer gives no reply- Probably for the best. It would have been dreadfully boring, being that guy.

But likewise, selecting the captain yields nothing- He has one "chapter" available- But it's still locked. Apparently, "pirate's cove" will have to be "completed" before you can pick him.

You guess you'd best pick someone else then...

[Arch Lich Burns]

hmmm...Obviously we need to pick......The Sloth Elemental.

[M0rtimer]

hmmm...Obviously we need to pick......The Sloth Elemental.

Very well. You enter "Sloth elemental". The machine... Accepts your request.

==>

You are now the sloth elemental.

What will you do?

[Arch Lich Burns]

slack off.

[M0rtimer]

==>

slack off.

Yup.

That sounds pretty chill.

[madmartin26]

While slacking off, the sloth elemental is suddenly attacked by Ansem. The elemental doesn't really know why. Maybe its blubber was getting in his way? Anyway, the sloth elemental isn't doing much about it.

Hmm.

Nah.

[Godbot]

Ugh. Wrath Elemental's ranting about something again. You haven't had any peace and quiet since a bunch of adventurers killed your boss and put you out of a job.

At least you don't have to deal with Envy anymore. That guy makes your skin crawl.

Or he would, if your skin wasn't too lazy for that.

[M0rtimer]

==>

Eh. You kinda stopped reading at "Ugh". Too much work.

Actually why are you even bothering to rep

Seems this simulation ends there. You continue entering commands, but nothing is coming out anymore.

You suppose you'll have to pick another character.

Here I had hope we wouldn't forever be stuck on a character select screen...
