FINALLY THE EVENT

[united-mods.livejournal.com]

WELCOME TO THE RELIC CASTLE

I shall be your guide and snarky narrator - replying to most comments with a bit of humour - acting as your Game Master for this adventure though this castle. The goal? To explore and find the Dark Stone. There are seven stories, and you will need to get to the bottom. Please note that if we don't wrap this up by Halloween, the Pokemonfication event will still be happening.

How this is gonna work? There's gonna be comments down there. When somebody solves the floor, then the next floor will go up. Simple? I sure hope so!

"Excellent! I'll just.. introduce you..." He trailed off as he looked around and realized that he has completely separated himself from the rest of his group. "Er. They are around here somewhere, I'm sure. Anyway."

He cleared his throat and rushed into a new topic to recover from that bit of awkwardness. "Did you manage the trip all right? I am fairly sure it is the strangest thing I have ever participated in, riding that... two-headed ostrich creature. Mine ran off into the desert as soon as we got here." He shook his head. His repeated assertion that this world didn't make any sense never ceased to gather supporting evidence. "But that's all right, I am just glad that they don't want us to do any digging or anything like that! I wasn't sure what to expect from that letter of theirs."

"Oh ye-" Estelle started, before Thomas seemed a bit nervous.

It looked like he was separated, oh boy. She decided to follow along with his other conversation.

"Well it wasn't as smooth of a ride as when I rode Ba'ul in my world but I think the little one was very quick~" Estelle replied. "I think we just have to explore the rest of the ruins? Is there some sort of staircase you think?" Estelle wondered, looking around.

He continued peering around the room, leaning forward on his toes to try and see over the people grouped around. N was nowhere to be found! It was as though he fell through the floor or something. Thus distracted, he merely nodded in agreement with the mention of a "Ba'ul" and barely caught the tail end of the rest of what Estelle was saying.

"Hm? ...Staircase? Oh! Yes, I think there is a staircase near here. I suppose we could just continue onward... Perhaps my friends are all ready ahead of us!"

"Certainly! Let's make our way down then~" Estelle proposed, moving toward the staircase.

"O-oh! Yes, let's." Thomas hesitated before following somewhat meekly. Yes, hanging out at a base camp on the thoroughly explored and relegated first floor of a temple was all very fashionably adventurous, but venturing into its dark, allegedly very dangerous depths was another matter. Especially in a world that made as little sense as this one -- what horrors could its ancient ruins contain? And, he recalled bitterly, he didn't even have a proper weapon on him.

Sighing, he reached into his coat pocket and retrieved a Pokeball. "Better come out now, Dodger," he muttered as he called his Teddiursa out. Dodger grinned and bounded forward, matching Estelle'space. Thomas frowned and hurried to walk beside them. "Onward to adventure, I suppose," he said, trying to muster proper enthusiasm.
