"Hm, if I know status effects right they might go away after a while, or... hey, does this game have any kind of healing items?"

"Oh, well, it was a long time ago, I dunno how to differentiate fiction from actual records."

"I think... The effects probably don't wear off until we can finish the game."

"Maybe it'll wear off when you win."

"...actually, what happens when we win? If this game has enough magic to give someone peg legs for playing Tetris incorrectly, maybe it'll give us a cool powerup when we win. Ooh! Maybe we'll be invincible! Or maybe we can fly!"

"...Yeah! Imagine the kind of powers we can get... Derana says with a grin. "I say we keep playing!"

Selfie holds his head in his hands, in the legendary motion of the DOUBLE FACEPALM.

"Cod, whyyyyyyy..."

Selfie looks up, a devilish plan forming.

"Okay. Can we break the ru- actually no I'm afraid of what the game could pull on us if we try that.

Selfie looks down again, tapping his peg legs once more.

".. i kinda like the sound they make."

"When's my turn coming...?"

"Hey, easy, easy! You don't wanna jinx it, otherwise you could be stuck with 'em forever." [Charles messes with his sombrero yet again and then rubs his hands together, a smirk on his face.] "Alright, who's next? Let's get a move on!"

"I think you should appreciate what little time there is before its your turn, because if I'm being honest, that 'chaingun for arms' thing Charles talked about might not seem so hyperbole." spoke Selfie, a clear concern in his voice.

"And you know what?" Selfie points at Charles with an aside glance. "Fair enough. I suppose my paranoia- I mean my genre savvy shenanigans can come in handy."

"Actually, now that I think about it—which would be cooler: chainguns for arms, or a helicopter propeller outta your back?" [Charles shouldn't be this excited about Body Horror potentially being forced upon him, especially considering he's a frickin stick figure that shouldn't be able to withstand a lot of body horror... but he is.]

"For me I think I'd prefer the propeller, - chaingun arms sound cool but keeping my arms and hands would be more... handy. Heh. Plus, being able to hover and fly around just sounds really fun! ...Might be a pain to put on shirts though..."

"You literally just said about me being careful to not jinx it." Selfie sighs.

"How about you, the, uh, moose or..." It hits Selfie that the crew he's playing this high-stakes game with is not... very human. With the exception of Benson. A literal stick figure, a.. lizard thingie, a moose..

"I should've seen this coming a long time ago..."

Round 1, Player 4:

Tyrone (Orange)

Tyrone rolls the die. He gets 2.

Tyrone lands on a regular space.

Tyrone’s Daar card, “Make it to the front door without using your legs.”

As a test of wit, Tyrone sadly does not complete the challenge.

Tyrone’s Dodj, “You Are 2 Feet shorter.” (Strength -20%)

Round 1, Player 5:

Derana (Green)

Derana rolls the die. She gets 4.

Derana lands on a bomb! Everybody takes a Dodj card.

Charles gets, “You always think that your worst fear is behind you.” (Bravery -10%)

Selfie gets, “You must end every sentence with, Bitch.” (Smarts -10%)

Benson gets, “You randomly lose all of your clothes for 30 seconds every 10 minutes.” (Bravery -10%)

Tyrone gets, “OSD (Obsessive Singing Disorder)” (Smarts -10%)

Derana gets, “You now have the voice of a 4 year old.” (Wit -10%)

"Yeah, but your peglegs are objectively a downgrade. Chaingun arms and propellers out your back are upgrades, people!" [Charlie pumps his fist in excitement.]

[...then comes dread. Unspeakable, crushing dread. Like something's behind him.]

"Oh cod I hate this already, bitch-" spoke Selfie as he glanced at the Dodjs that befell his comrades.

"Wait, what? Bitch?" Selfie flinches in fear, remembering about Tyrone's presence (despite Tyrone's newfound shortness).

(Tyrone is now a smol little teeny-weeny moose who is singing at even the worst times because he feels like singing songs he thinks are catchy)

"...please tell me the Right-Hand Man isn't standing right behind me. P-please."

"Whoa, so looks everyone got-" Derana pauses for a moment as she notices her new voice. Uh, why do I sound like a little kid? ...Guess that's my curse, huh... well, could be worse." she says with a shrug.

"For cods sake, you're not even rhyming, bitch" Selfie groans at Tyrone's lackluster singing, then immediately realizes what he just said,

"I didn't mean that, its another stupid effect of this game, bit-" Selfie slaps himself, and turns over his Dodj card, revealing the DODJ he has been afflicted with.

I'm just gonna randomly let everyone know I have to go to bed, so I won't really be roleplaying until tomorrow morning.

[Charles looks at his new Dodj card.] "Oh. That explains it.. maybe...?" [He glances over his shoulder just to be sure that it's just the card.] "Anyways..." [He peeks at Selfie's card and inhales sharply through clenched teeth.] "Oh jeez, that's—that's not a good card to have drawn while there's a literal child here..." [Another glance over the shoulder. Nope, no Right-Hand Man in sight. Good.]

yeah, but you can join next game if you want

Edited by KungFuCutBug on Aug 21st 2020 at 11:11:00 AM

Is it too late to join?

Darn.

"Alright, everyone show me your cards so we don't get surprised by anything nasty, bitc-" Selfie smacks himself again, as he peeks at Benson's card and oh okay nope nope he's not looking at Benson's direction for the rest of this game

[Charles leans over to look at Benson's card, curious to see what elicited such a disgusted reaction from Selfie.]

"...oh. Heh heh, what a game this is turning out to be so far, am I right? You have one person cursing after every sentence, and another one going stark-naked every few minutes, while there's a child in the room."

Edited by KungFuCutBug on Aug 21st 2020 at 11:17:22 AM

Selfie places his hand on Benson's shoulder. "Okay, my fellow human comrade, you must now hide from our sights because if its not for my dignity then its for Tyrone's innocence. Bitch."
