Link to the first one: A Weirder Route pt 1
So since I don't want this series to be taking too long... I'm kind of just going to skip a lot of the slower parts of chapter 1. Ch 1 is also going to be a challenge to make funny, since it's already pretty silly, but I have some ideas. (As always, Echo will be up to some nonsensical ACTS and general rule-breakering)
So let's just get into it already, shall we?
"Thank you, heroes, for listening to my long tale." The mysterious hooded figure said.
*Echo put away their popcorn and stood up.
"Now, we should-"
They were cut off by a loud motorcycle revving. Someone burst through the wall of the castle and confronted Echo and Susie.
"I... I forgot my script for this battle... uhh..." He glanced around. "Whatever! I'm still gonna thrash you clowns, script or no script! Ho ho ho!"
"You had a script?" Susie said incredulously.
"Yeah! It's kind of hard to come up with threatening insults on the go, you know? Anyways, the name's Lancer, also known as... YOUR DOOM!!"
*Lancer attacks!
*Echo chose ACT —> PLAY ALONG
*Susie ignored Echo and chose FIGHT!
*Echo trembled in pretend fear. Lancer was utterly convinced!
"Wow, you're really afraid of me? My dad is going to be so proud!" Lancer said. He was so busy gloating he didn't notice Susie's axe swinging towards him.
*Echo ignored the fact that it wasn't their turn and chose ACT —> SUSIE STOP THAT
*Echo pushed Susie to the side and made her miss!
*Echo hastily apologizes for tripping.
"Yeah, you better apologize, you made me miss my swing!" Susie said angrily.
Lancer, still completely oblivious, continued taunting Echo. "I bet you can't even speak in normal quotations!"
"I can too!" Echo said angrily. "I just didn't feel like it."
"Wait, you can? Oh, okay then. Uh... I ran out of insults. Er... catch you later, clowns! Lancer away!"
There was quiet. The hooded figure started to approach again.
Suddenly, Lancer came zooming back, causing them to yelp and go back to hiding. "I FOUND MY SCRIPT!! NOW you guys are going down!"
*Lancer attacks in a mildly more prepared fashion!
*Echo chose ACT —> TRIP SUSIE INCONSPICUOSLY
*You're gonna need to roll a D20 Dexterity, DC 6, for tripping Susie without her noticing it...
*This isn't DnD? Says who?
*Susie ignored Echo and chose FIGHT
*Susie tried to swing at Lancer, but she tripped and fell, which was in no way actually Echo's fault!
"Let's see here... so you clowns are going to go east and try to seal our Fountain, huh? I mean, of course you will. It's the only way home! Wait, I think I forgot my intro..." Lancer shuffled his papers around.
Susie got back up. "Dude, the moment's ruined."
"You may be right... but I will be back! Thrash you later, clowns! Ho ho ho!"
Lancer sped away.
"Well, that has gotta be one of the strangest things I've ever witnessed in my entire life..." Susie said. "I really hope this is all just a weird ass chalk induced fever dream."
"I- I'm afraid it's not..." the hooded figure said.
"Okay, then I'm getting out of here." Susie said. "Lancer mentioned something about going east?"
"Through a Great Door, yes..." the figure said.
"Great. Cool. Then I'm out of here." Susie said.
"But I didn't even get to introduce myself properly..."
"Okay, jeez, if it matters so much to you, introduce yourself!" Susie said.
"Thank you, Susie. My name... is Ralsei." He took off his cloak (so now he didn't look like the Ferryman from Undertale).
"I am a prince of darkness, a-"
"Aaaand now we're introduced. Wow, nice to meet you, Ralsei! I have to go get back to my real life where blue children named Lancer DON'T try to ambush and kill me! See you... never!" Susie said.
She left.
"Well, I'm still here." Echo said. "Wanna go... try to catch up to Susie and stuff?"
"Thank you, Echo." Ralsei said.
"No problem." Echo said. "Just follow my lead. I totally got this."
