Since we’re all feeling a little under the weather this month, I thought of a way we could still have fun while we’re rotting away in our beds from boredom: a choose-your-own-adventure game.

I understand that this might be a new concept for some of you, so I’ll explain how the game works before we get started. I’ll give you a single prompt to start with. Your job is to reply to my prompt and wait for more information from me. I’ll then give you another prompt based on what actions you took in your response… in other words, it’s a bit like collaborative storytelling. However, only one writer can establish the setting, and that’s me.

Got it?

Now… let’s begin.

Weary traveler! The spooky, demon castle that you had set out for when you started your journey to slay its lord months ago is upon you. It rests atop high cliffs, its darkened towers and turrets looming over the forest surrounding it. It appears to be guarded only by a drawbridge. But be careful! It hovers above treacherous waters. Try not to fall in.

How do you wish to proceed?

[ Oh... This might be a fun way to pass the time while he lowkey feels like dying. ]

Well, seeing as the lord will no doubt be expecting my arrival through the front door, and I'm not fond of incurring injury if I can help it...
>Cast a spell enabling the user to fly, in order to reach the castle and find a way in from above.

Okay, but first. Question: Why exactly, am I setting out for this spooky demon castle?

[godcards]

I send someone else in to check for me.

[wow all the responses have ended exactly how he thought they’d end] Some things don't change... You're still a player killing scumbag.

[Extremely.

Dubious.]

Does the game have a board?

'Cause if the game has a board, I flip the board.

[What the hell he didn't know there was games on his smart-watch fitbit thing??]

>Check inventory? What do I got on me? I need some weapons if I'm going to be kicking some demon ass.

[ Yugi didn’t need to know who this was. He didn’t need to try to place the voice...the game...none of it. He decides to respond in text, just to give himself some manner of civility... ]

bakura. maybe you should save this kind of thing for when people are feeling better. misery and death aren’t typically very good distractions.
