“Hey were on a college, Who wants to play ‘Losers of the Pandemic” again.” Benna asks with an excited look in her eyes. “Haven’t we played that game enough? I don't like the idea of playing a bunch of losers who are playing us.” Nosmo responds with a sigh. “No way I’ve got a really good storyline to play. But we all have to keep the same characters, you know for advancements and what not.” Benna still excitedly says. “Really I have to keep playing Turag’s character, but Victor seems like such a broken character concept.” Mononoke says. “Yeah can we at least switch I’m tired of playing the dumb Canadian farmer.” Saint Rebecca says. “No we all have to play just like before, or Zargon-bot will break again.” Benna is clearly getting agitated. So the group all sit down to play, each login in and going through their rituals. Everyone roll to see if you have enough munchies at your computer and Rebecca don’t forget to roll to see if your having internet issues again. Oh bad luck its not a critical fail but still thats shitty, looks like you have to choose again between having a camera that shows an image every 10 seconds and misses every other word of voice or no camera. but still shitty voice transmission. “You said Aaron hasn’t had a haircut in 7 months, yeah camera off” - Rebecca Mononoke looks like you got a good roll on the cameras we’ll see if you can maintain that. Muhahaha. “Can I turn off my camera too.” - Mononoke No, Victor has to take care of the cameras, but we will let you throw his special towel over the camera on breaks. Hopefully no one questions the stains on it. And Nosmo it looks like Rob is having foot issues. Oh and Lucy from time to time Sam’s family is gonna just start yelling in the background. “Do I have to play. The GM concept freaks me out. I know its not technically a DM but its still tempting fate and something bad will happen.” - Lucryllin Come on whats the worst that can happen. “Don't worry if the nightmares return I will just use mind wipe on you again. I promise to get all the information this time.” -Benna “Ok… wait you did what?” -Lucryllin “Nothing. Look the games about to start.” -Benna The Hippy hands his magical bracelet/necklace/anklet thing over to Lucy and as he does a voice now calls to everyone from the beyond in each of their heads. “New minds to touch. Tell me your needs, your desires, your fears.” Before anyone can respond purple rain comes down on Thorfrid who takes half a second before losing her shit and running like a Splugorth with its head cut off, screaming verbally and over the mind link, “help get it off.” A phrase never used by Thorfrid who has never needed help getting anything off. Nosmo tries to break the mental connection but nothing happens. He thinks “how is this possible, I am power.” Then heads off to figure how he has lost control of power, “I can’t let the others see me like this. I feel naked without my power” “Break the link, break the link, Tut. Break the link” Benna yells at Tut but Tut can’t hear what Benna is saying and only sees her yell at him and runs off afraid of her. Benna tries using her powers to stop Tut but her guns are firing blanks. “Very cute. Everyone clear your minds. The thing will bring your fears to life” Saint Rebecca says. “Just clear your minds.” A look of stunned horror comes across Lucy’s face. “Oh shit Lucy. What did you do?” “I… I couldn’t help it. I tried to clear my mind, but it just popped in there.” Lucy responds as everyone in the room hears a small pop sound and looks to see Craig standing there waving and saying Hi. “Really, Lucy I thought an elf would be better then this. I would’ve expected this from Zargon,” Saint Rebecca points to the little black orb that follows them around recording everything so as to tell the story of their exploits. “I told you, I’m not good with the GM idea from Benna’s ‘Losers of the Pandemic’ role playing game.” Lucy sheepishly says. “Ok so your afraid of Zargon’s character from that game. Craig, really your afraid of him, look at him, he’s wearing comfy pants for Apollo’s sake. How can you be afraid of someone in comfy pants?” Saint Rebecca says. “In my defence seemed a lot scary in the game.” Lucryllin responds now gathering himself. Craig looks down at his pants then starts thinking of what he’s hearing saying “if thats Benna and Zargon and she said Lucryllin that means it's real. So that would make you Saint Rebecca, your just as much of a bitch as when Aaron plays you.” “The fuck did you just say to me.” Rebecca says with a slow turn and obviously pissed at Craig, she uses her mind control to capture Craig’s mind. “Go run into that wall then you will come help us solve this bullshit.” Craig just smiles and like a well trained husband does what the angry woman says and runs at the wall hitting as hard as he can, falls and gets back up and comes back waiting for his next command to try and appease the woman he upset by making the massive mistake of speaking. Unsatisfied Rebecca has Craig run at another wall then turns back to Lucy, “why did you think of him? Why not Rob or Andrew or even Aaron, he might be a dumb farmer but I imagined him with great muscles and his eyes and that smile. Oh the things I would do to him.” The voice from beyond speaks to Rebecca as it see’s her thoughts and obvious desires, “Yeah that’s it, show me your desires… woah what. Thats dirty, you sure your a priestess.” The voice speaking snaps Rebecca out of her fantasizing, “what, you asked what we desire <mmmmm> and I want that. I want a bunch of clones of that.” The voice just speaks timidly, “um thats just wrong. I… I’m gonna leave you alone and go fuck with these peoples heads now. The hippy was right, bitches be crazy.” “Yeah ok, but we’ll talk later, right.” Rebecca says still hoping to get her wish from this thing. Elsewhere Nosmo is swallowing a pearl the size of small bowling ball in the hopes of getting his power back and the voice speaks him, “yes that’s it swallow that big thing.” the voice then stops for a second as if thinking back to what it seen in Rebecca’s head before letting out an audible eww sound and dry heaving. Thorfrid smacks into the wall of the time barrier still screaming, “get it off. get it off. get it off” Without seeing what Thorfrid was doing but envisioning it based on current events and still dry heaving the voice is just saying to itself ‘these people are so fucked up. Wait there was another one, Mononoke, where is she, maybe she's normal. Oh she’s in the bathroom, well thats not that weird. Wait is she sticking her hands in the toilet. Why, there’s a sink right there with running water why are you sticking your hands in a nasty toilet? What in the hells happened to this world?’ Going back to Craig “Give Them a Clue, help them. Make it stop. these people are so fucked up.” Lucy says “I have this box here that we can put you in to transport you around” “No not the box. Wait then I won’t have to listen to all your minds. Yes put me in the box a nd hurry before someone plays the ‘Fireside Chat’ card.”
