Shall we play a game?

xaq_the_aereonAlright everybirdie, the results from the earlier post are in, and now it's time to reveal what I was gearing towards: a game.
(UPDATE: As of 5:20 PM local time, 01/09/2013, all achievements have been unlocked!!)
(Enable BGM?)
It is New Year's Day, and to celebrate, you have joined some of your classmates from St. Pigeonation's to go down to the local shrine. As you get there, you notice the place is strangely empty, even compared to its usual sparsity of visitors. As you get further in, however, you see why: a Komodo Dragon has apparently decided to sunbathe in the middle of the shrine grounds and scared everybirdie off!
"The Black Serpent of Agony has appeared!" The startled, slightly agonized cry of the luzon who stands beside your group startles you...where'd he come from, anyway? Before you can ask, he tosses you a pen used in drawing manga. "Go forth, Scarlet Knight of the Sephirot! It is your destiny to wield Sae'krom, the holy spear, and slay this beast!"
Looks like you've picked up a weird one, my friend. Rummaging through your backpacks, you and your classmates scrounge together a few items you can use to deal with the situation. Things do not look very promising, however, as all that you have are a packet of Tat-P pudding mix, a unicycle, a paintbrush that (for some reason) is still wet with purple paint, a packet of millet seeds, the key to your locker, a unicycle, and the loony luzon's pen.
To play, reply with what you wish to do, such as "Use Unicycle on Self" or "Coo at Sae'krom." Grammar doesn't have to be perfect; as long as the system can make sense of what you say, that should work.
(UPDATE: Due to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xviith_et_seq's excessive and increasingly confusing use of them to the point of literally leaving me with a migraine, ANGHELISMS WILL NO LONGER BE ACKNOWLEDGED. Your text entry is simulating a controller input for God's sake.)
If you wish to use the Move command, simply say "Move to ____" using the following list as reference:
-Shrine to move to the center dot on the mini-map
-Entrance to move along the lower-left path
-Woods to move along the central-right path
-Spring to move along the upper-left path behind the shrine.
So, for example, if you wanted to return to the entrance, you would type in "Move to Entrance."
After you have entered a command, the system will reply letting you know the consequences, for good or ill (most likely ill) of your actions. Afterwards, assuming you didn't get yourself horribly maimed or killed, you can input another command and try again.
Good luck, and try your best to survive this latest peril to come to Littledove Hachiman City!
UPDATE: There is no need spoiler-tag your replies; I only spoiler-tagged the game so that it didn't take up a boatload of space on your page on the off-chance you didn't want to play.
UPDATE: Okay, since this has come up a number of times now: While other characters get mentioned in the text a few times, the only 2 characters you're able to interact with in any way on the first screen are yourself and the Komodo dragon.

Date: 1/8/13 18:42 (UTC)1) No new result. (Paintbrush, unicycle, and Sae'krom have been removed from your inventory.)
2) (2nd trip to woods goes the same as the 1st. Disengaging shorthand mode.)
Before you can decide what to do next, you see a fantail dove run into the shrine grounds. His attention seems focused squarely on your packet of pudding mix!
(SIDE NOTE: Once again, fully aware that the lizard's still in the background even though he shouldn't be. Images are still in beta.)
"Cooooo coo cooo! (Okosan senses pudding in this location!)" The fantail gives you no chance to defend yourself as he smashes against you in a flying headbutt, knocking the pudding mix out of your backpack! As you get up, you see him run off into towards the horizon, at speeds you haven't seen since the last sci-fi marathon!
As you get up and dust yourself off, you hear a deafening blast off in the distance..
Well, looks like he was wrong...apparently that wasn't pudding after all. A moment later, the same fantail comes racing back to you, looking slightly singed.
"Coooooooo! (Okosan has been lied to! Deceived! That was no pudding!)"
Without warning, he strikes you with his wing. Geez, what did you do to deserve that!?
"Cooo coo coooooo cooooo! (It seems Okosan will have to continue his quest once more. The true pudding will be his one day! It will!)" And with that, he's off.
After taking a moment to regain your senses and work out what the blazes just happened, you realize that everybody else in the area, including your classmates, has long since left...apparently that was too much weirdness for anyone but you to handle. You shrug, make your way over to the shrine, leave your wish, ring the bell, and head home. Still, you can't shake off the feeling that you're missing something...oh well.
(Game Over - Pudding End)

no subject
Date: 1/9/13 02:25 (UTC)In a flash, you feel Sae'krom's holy magic flood into you, erasing the sin from your spirit as quickly as it erases the life from your body. At least your passing is a peaceful one.
It's a sad thing that your adventure has ended here!!
