Re: Board Games (Pt. 2)

[Crimson Skies]

Stella shook her head. "Good luck."

"So, how are we gonna spend the hour?" Ayah asked.

[Dogy9978]

"Well what is it you guys do here when there is no missions??"

[Crimson Skies]

"Sleep, goof around and play games," Ayah explained. "We recently had a lounge installed just for that purpose."

[Dogy9978]

"Good around? Or play a game please."

[Crimson Skies]

"uh sure," Ayah said and led her to the lounge. It wasn't very big per se, but there were bean chairs, a fridge, a big TV screen and a game console of some kind. "Boss loves this place; originally wanted it all for himself."

[Dogy9978]

" What sort of games you have in there? This is a box the displays games right?" Lillith pointed at the game console.

[Crimson Skies]

"Yeah, that's the thing," Ayah explained. "We have games the boss plays and the ones the rest of us plays. He's a fan of the mysterious, weird and unsettling; rest of us just go for something ordinary."

[Dogy9978]

"Well pick whatever. I shall play it."

[Crimson Skies]

Ayah saw the opporturnity and took it, making Lillith play the hardest game they have, but not before showing her which button does what and telling her what the game is about.

"Name's not important; you're prisoner that's predestined to save the world from destruction. But first, you must find a way out of your cell. Everything will try to kill you. Good luck."

There's a small cell. Dirty, smelly, Lillith's character having a pile of hay instead of a bed. She can hear someone walking over.

It's a guard and gives the character food. Now, she must think of something to get him inside, as only he has the keys.

Her character has no weapons or even spells; what will she do?

[Dogy9978]

"Hmm... a prisoner...." Lillith moved the character and made it pick up the food and threw it at the guard. "Come on mortal. Give in to your anger and come over here!!!"

[Crimson Skies]

The guard went inside and beat her character into a bloody mess. The screen showed big red letters spelling out 'You have died.' Ayah then pushed a button on Lillith's controller for the game to restart back at the cell.

"Not the correct response. Just keep trying."

[Dogy9978]

"Why didn't the character fight back!!! I could of grabbed the keys!!! This game is not realistic!!! " Lillith looked at the screen again. She made her character tap the bars of the cell.

[Crimson Skies]

The guard stopped. "Yeah, what you want? A second last meal?"

[Dogy9978]

Lillith made the character do a hand movement show it wanted the guard to come closer to the bars. "There's something on the bars. But you can't see it from there. "

[Crimson Skies]

The guard approached the bars and did not let himself inside the cell. "There's nothing. Stop wasting my time."

[Dogy9978]

Lillith tried to make the character grab the guard's head and make it hit the bars hard.

[Crimson Skies]

Success. The guard was out cold.

[Dogy9978]

The character picked up the keys from the body and opened the cell. "When do I start killing people? "

[Crimson Skies]

She can now go left, right or do something else.

"Don't go just yet, pick up the guard's equipment. You'll need it."

[Dogy9978]

"Alright." Lillith made the character take the equipment from the guard.

[Crimson Skies]

Another guard passed by. He gave her a weird look, but didn't make much of it. "Had to beat up one of the prisoners again, huh?" He then put the unconscious guard in the cell and locked it.

The game then displayed the message 'Prison Guard' reputation increased by 50'.

[Dogy9978]

Lillith out the controller down for a moment. "What sort of game are we playing?"

[Crimson Skies]

"It's a role-playing game. You have the role of someone who's supposed to save the world. Reputation means absolutely nothing; just ignore it."

[Dogy9978]

Lillith picked the controller back up. She made the guard move around.

[Crimson Skies]

Just cells left and right, with right also having a staircase going up.
