Video Game Forums

There are eight people immediately surrounding you, five males and three females. They all look as dazed and confused as you, but some are starting to sharpen up. One of the males, an older, violent-looking type, attacks another male (this one barely into his teen years) with a stick, and the two begin to fight, although the contest is clearly uneven-- the kid is outmatched. Everyone else looks on, but they begin to eye each other warily.

What do you want to do?

(By the way, KB and Parra are there. You're free to interact with each other in any way you wish. Be warned, though-- if you die and your soul is stolen by another player, you'll have to create a new character. If you're killed by an NPC, on the other hand, I'll let you restart from that battle or situation-- I'm not that cruel.)

I'll fight the same guy KB is.

K.

Onus and Young Adult F (b) vs. Older M

Your turn. Go twice.

Hit him with the stick twice.

You connect twice, but he's tough.

The girl goes.

I'll kill him and take the soul.

You finish him off, ignoring his final cry. You don't know exactly how to steal the soul. What do you wanna try?

From now on, either of you can post here. I'll keep Kagami's topic open in case you two split off, or one of you dies, or something-- in that case, you'll have separate topics again.

I'll put my ring where his heart was I guess.

It doesn't work for you.

I'll do that. If it doesn't work, i'll try around his head.

Onus-- It works on the heart. You see a vague transparency of the man leaving his body and being sucked into the ring. You feel the ring begin to pulse slightly, although you don't feel any different yet. However, you do feel a slight click in the back of your head, and you realize that you can cast your spell again.

Kagami-- You watch all this with some anxiety. What will his next action be?

What will you both do now?

Say to to the girl. "Two have a better chance together than one. Shall we work together?"

Alright. KB, your response?

(If he doesn't say anything for three days, I'll do something about it.)

Also, Marth, you can now cast:

Spirit Brace-- If cast just before stealing a soul, permanently lessens the insanity-causing effects of that soul. 25 MP.

I'll agree I guess.

Okay. The two of you agree to work together.

There's one man standing nearby. He seems to be eyeing both of you, and you get the feeling he's making a decision. There were two girls and another guy, but the girls killed the guy and have run away.

What do you want to do? I can describe your surroundings if you want.

Sure

Okay. You're in a small open area. You can see the place in the wall where the gateway should be, but it seems to have disappeared when they shut it. To your left is a path into a forest; ahead of you, a path into a plains area; to your right, wild hills. Nobody is nearby except for one young man...

Except now somebody emerges from the forest. He looks to be a very old man. He is crawling on his hands and knees towards you, and looks scratched up and bruised. He stops about fifty feet in front of you and collapses. He hails all of you, including the young man nearby, and asks you for aid. What do you say?

I'll talk to Onus. "What do you think we should do? I don't think we can help him heal or anything like that."

I shrug. "I agree. He probably won't be of use." I whisper, so the young man doesn't hear. "Take his soul." If the young man tries to interefere I'll fend him off.

The young man is coming over, clearly intent on killing the old man. What do you want to do?
