ALECTRYON

[When the game starts you find yourselves on a platform. At least this part is pretty relaxing as it's large enough to fit a table with six (or seven) chairs around and that may be the place you want to sit at for now. There's several pieces of parchment laying on the table and a box in the center.

Of course, if you were careful you might want to pay attention to what's before you. Because immediately after the platform is a slide that ends in a pit of water? That turns into a dark forest. In what looks like a mile across is another large platform, presumably the end. Though that's all you can see right now.]

[WHAT IS HOPEFUL.]

[I AM NOT SURE HOW TO RESPOND TO THIS EMOTION.]

[But scrolls....]

[He's picking up scrolls and looking through them.]

[It's in Latin!]

[And sometimes Greek?!]

....useless.

[Throwing them aside and just going to. Lean against the wall and try to have a less fuzzy head.]

[Hopeful...]

Hnnngh... should we just buy some time? I might be able to move the bookcase in front of the door. The thing outside might go away. I don't think we want to fight through it if we don't have to. I think that might work.

Yes. Do that.

...

I'll check for secret passageways.

[This is a legit thing all buildings have, right?]

[where are you looking first?]

[Well, he's moving the bookcase, I'll look around that area first.]

[it doesn't budge!]

[OKAY, setting down sword and attempting to move bookcase in front of door! Is there anything behind said bookcase? Is it waaaaay too heavy for a person to move? Let's see!]

[it's way too heavy to move!]

Hmngh. Okay that's not budging. It's a lot heavier than it looks. Maybe if we pull the stuff out of it?

[systematically starts pulling everything off the bookshelf]

[ Also, this guy seems to have shown up! He mostly looks confused. ]

Hey, what's going on over here?

A beast is outside that would like to eat us.

[I'm just going to lean against this wall and try not to faint again.]

[Probably got wet pants from when he almost fell into a river.]

Edited 2014-02-05 04:54 (UTC)

But what if I don't want to be eaten? Also, you look like shit.

Don't be vulgar.

Feel free to bring up the complaint with the beast.

What's wrong with being vulgar? It's true.

It's unseemly.

[ He stares blankly. ]

Who the fuck cares? It's just words.

Welcome to the party kid. There's something outside but... I think it'll be okay.

A party sounds like fun! But let's un-invite the guy outside, why don't we?

It was never invited anyway. I hope it'll get the hint in a second.

[Moving the bookcase in front of the door.]

Oh, a party crasher. Need help with that?

[or not, it's way too heavy]

I don't think we can get it.

Damn, that would've been useful.
