The In Character Character Game: Part III

[Paxus Asclepius]

Andrew looks up from his book and says, "Hold on a second. Did you just say that you're going to go and commit first degree murder? You do realize going about saying that sort of thing can get you looked upon with very serious expressions by authority figures, right?"

He reaches back and tugs on his ponytail, rubs the bridge of his neck, and says "I think that y'all should give us an idea what you're talking about before going off like that. I have little problem with a well deserved beating being delivered, but very little tolerance for people talking about killing other people."

"Moral absolutist, I take it? I'm no more convinced of what's happening than you are, but if they're telling me that I can get away with killing Barney, I'm all for it. The rules have obviously changed, and we'll need to adapt. Now, can we get a slightly longer summary of the situation?" Those with particularly sharp hearing may notice a small, metallic click from Joe's right hand; it's now being held at a very slightly odd angle in the jacket pocket.

"Mate, you just haven't been here long enough. You won't be spouting objections and law stuff after you get attacked by a Koopa Trooper or somethin'," Festy replies, "Unless one of the good people here are employed by the police, you'll find no law enforcement anywhere, 'cept if 'Officer Jenny' or whatever her name is decides to pop into existence. Already got Pikachu and Nurse... Whatsername."

He is about to turn back to Pliskin when he notices Joe's pocket, and starts to smile broadly.

"Hey man, is that a gun?" Festy asks, sounding eager to know.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

"Hey man, is that a gun?" Festy asks, sounding eager to know.

"No. Don't know how to use them, and can't carry them legally. Just a pocketknife, but it'll do in a pinch."

"So some guy in a Purple Dinosaur costume is messing with reality? And who told you this? 'Cause if you say Tinkerbell or some such I'm running fast."

Andrew looks around at the other folks in the restaurant, says "I'm the only one disturbed by this?" and raises an eyebrow.

"No, I'm certainly distrubed by it... but I don't think it matters anymore. After the Rat the size of a dog I nearly hit with my car, the 3 Pteradaktyls that flew by, and the then that 'thing', either this is a nightmare or everything is all screwed up, so like I don't think it matters anymore."

Diana states all this very resolutely but then softens looking a tad nervious about it as she looks around for some reassurance from someone.

"Don't go assuming it's all a nightmare. I'd rather not have someone pulling the Unbeliever schtick."

"Don't go assuming it's all a nightmare. I'd rather not have someone pulling the Unbeliever schtick."

Patrik listens to the conversation that's going on around him, cradling a little dog with bird wings in his arms.

"Oh, you guys think this is confusing? Don't worry, it's bound to get a lot more so..." he says, looking around the room.

Now, what ever possessed me to buy this thing? I mean, it's awfully cute, but not exactly what you'd need to destroy an evil purple dinosaur overlord. Oh, well, these things tend to figure themselves out, Patrik thinks, looking at the little creature in his arms. I mean Eiko's Moogle from Final Fantasy 9 was completely useless until it turned out to be a really powerful Eidolon masquerading as a Moogle.

He then turns to look at Solid Snake.

"So, Snake, what sort of weaponry should we use against Barney? We've already seen that he works powerful evil sorcery through his idiotic music, so d'you think that our own music could work as a countermeasure?" he asks the somber figure. "Maybe an electric guitar...? No, make that an electric guitar powered by magic that shoots rays of pure sonic energy..."

Man, I wish I was a bard so I could give Barney a taste of countersong, or something...

"Moral absolutist, I take it?"

"Hmm. Moral absolutist? Not so much. I just like to know that I'm beating on some poor sod who actually deserves it, ya know? I'm not too keen on people I've just met making those choices for me without some evidence to back it up, either."

 

[neoweasel]

"Don't go assuming it's all a nightmare. I'd rather not have someone pulling the Unbeliever schtick."

"But if that someone had the GURPS IOU advantage of Mundane, the one that allows you to make bad things into guys in rubber suits, that'd be pretty cool."

Andrew pauses and looks around "What?"

Andrew pauses and looks around "What?"

"Oh, you're a gamer. That's so not surprising. Most of us are. The creepy thing is, that In Real Life most of us are actually EN World members... I'm psychognome from EN World, in case you're wondering." Patrik says.

"Paxus Asclepius. Good to put a face to the name. Now, let me get this straight. That fellow over there is Solid Snake, and he's giving us guns to go kill Barney? Could someone elaborate a bit on what's happened?"
