A Peculiar Game

A Peculiar Game

 

Welcome to!!! Well, the small place. That's what we call it here.

Of course, we're still in the rudimentary stages of production at the moment, so please remain patient as we continue to adapt and improve, and please don't hesitate to notify us if you spot any problems with the system! You will be receiving your assigned companion shortly, and by then will be tasked with a compatible mission.

 

A few moments pass as you stand, mulling over the robotic voice's words from much earlier. Suddenly, the grey walls of the cylindrical capsule slide apart seamlessly, a dull bluish light spilling into the ever-widening gap until the entire structure disappears, all without so much as a single whir. It's almost eerie how these things work nowadays.

 

Thank you for your patience! Another cheerful robot's voice chirps. Your companion will be stationed at your control panel; please proceed in order to accept your mission.

 

You step forward, each click of your heel reverberating against the pristine modern looking interior. It gives off such a cold and empty impression. When you finally reach the opposite side of the room, you lower yourself into a (modified) office chair. As soon as you are fully seated, the unnaturally white lights flick off, leaving you alone in the dark with only the faint blue glow of a pseudo-screen.

 

<Welcome, esteemed Host>

The words scrawl themselves upon the screen. You tap one of many buttons on the screen. Very well, here is your mission.

The choppy words cease again, yielding to more print.

 

<The mission requires for you to fulfil the wishes of the Initial upon the incident that resulted in death. >

<You will be provided with the following information on each of the instigators:

The slightest of smiles plays over your features as you drum your fingers against the armrest of your chair.

 

"How very interesting."

 

 

It's sort of like a ski-lodge, but not quite! And well, perhaps you're interested?

Haha, see ya there?

Haha… Well from how things are going right now, it seems like we don't have much to work with, huh?

 

The small voice laughs nervously at your annoyed glare, swallowing as if to lament their poor luck.

 

"Bold of you to assume." You deadpan, not thrilled with the prospect of having to shatter your stoic impression in order to break everything down for this brat. What even was that thing? An orange raccoon? Did even animals have the right to die their fur as a form of self-expression these days? Urgh. "This will obviously narrow down the amount of people we have to deal with. It'll be a much simpler job."

 

Ah, that's a good point. The voice grew quieter, sounding a bit embarrassed.

 

You quickly tap a couple of buttons and pull a lever, ignoring that... thing.

 

"Let's go."

 

Ahhh- wait! The voice squeaks, but the two of you are already there. Did you look over everythi-

 

"Yes, yes, I know. I already saw everything I needed to see. There was only that one sheet for the character anyway." You wave your hand impatiently, "I know what to do. Rather, why are you still here following me?

 

I-I've been designated as your companion for the small worlds, after all! Of course, that means I have to stay with you!"

"I'd prefer it if you would just buzz off..." You mutter under your breath. You stand up, finally getting a chance to survey your surroundings.

A sprawling tundra laden with rich golden dunes greets your eyes. A wave of confidence wells up in you, comfortably settling into your chest.

 

“Ha. This will be easy.”
