FaerieQueen
Brandon, is that really you?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I think so. I see everything like it’s real. It’s weird. The only body I feel is this one.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Look! Our conversation appears on the side in text, like we’re playing the game. So cool!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
There’s nothing cool about this.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
There is. We have powers here. You can fly!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Also, we are in the same place having a conversation for the first time. And that’s amazing.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
And look how muscular I am. Just like in real life!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Really?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Of course not! That’s why this is so cool!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Take the time to enjoy this! We’re able to do things that we never could in our real lives.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
You’re ridiculous. This isn’t what I look like at all. I’m a faerie in here, so I’m like two feet tall. And this is a video game body drawn by men.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
The proportions are ridiculous.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Who cares about all that stuff? Just enjoy it. And besides, the face is yours, and you’re beautiful.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
I am? It’s my face and not the character’s?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Well, I assume it’s your face, since it’s different from how the character usually is in the game.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
You’re right, I didn’t even realize it when I first saw you. It’s your face on the character now, not the Dragon Slayer that I’m used to.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
I was right before. You’re cute.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
So are you. Btw, nice wings.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Thanks. Nice sword.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
We better be careful, we’ll get the PG-13 rating taken away from this game.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Seriously, though, it’s nice to be able to talk to you in the same place and see your face.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Same here. But, unless we do something, we’re not going to be around for long.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I’ve been thinking about it. I really think we need to finish the game for everything to be restored.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
How do you know?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
It just makes sense. We have to finish to win.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
And then we’ll be restored to our bodies.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
And all that stuff you were saying before? About how you think this is supposed to be happening?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I do believe that. I think this is happening for a reason. We were supposed to meet.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Why else did we connect in the game years apart? I looked you up and found out you died in real life. I’m supposed to save you.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Yeah, but what do you get out of it? I get my life, and you?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Maybe, I’m supposed to get the girl?
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Two years apart? Look, let’s just figure a way out of this first.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Good idea. From what I know, we have to storm the castle and defeat the dragon.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Usually the reward is gold, but maybe now it’ll be getting out of here.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Let’s go kill a dragon.
One hour later
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Look how great we’re doing!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
I have to admit, it’s been fun playing with you. Well, as fun as can be expected, considering that we might actually die at any moment.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
We’re not going to die! We got this.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I bet our pictures are all over orc newscasts for the murder of mass orcs.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Ha! It’s only going to get harder.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
According to what I remember, the castle should be coming up soon.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Yeah, we’re going to fight a mass wave of orcs and trolls before we even get into the castle.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Then, the dragon.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Here they come!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Watch out! To your left!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Got it! Behind you!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I see him! Stick together! Side to side and let’s go!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
It’s hard to be side-to-side when you’re seven feet tall and I’m like, two.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Just keep going! We’re almost at the castle! I see the gate!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
There are hundreds of them!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Keep firing!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
They’re everywhere. They all have axes!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Ow! One of them cut me! Damn, that hurt!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Watch yourself! I can’t lose you now!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I’m not going anywhere!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
We’re almost there!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Yes! I can’t believe we made it! How many orcs do you think we killed?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
At least a couple of hundred. We’re awesome together!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
We only made the castle. We still have the hard part coming.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Have you ever seen the dragon?
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
I got there before. I didn’t make it. It knocked me back down a couple of levels.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I’ve never even seen it. What was it like?
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Powerful. It was humongous, and I lost pretty easily.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
But, I was also cocky. I don’t know if that made a difference or not, but I definitely don’t think I was prepared enough to beat it.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Can we beat it together?
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
There’s obviously got to be a way to beat it. Nobody would play a game that was impossible to win.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
So, we can do this.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
How do we attack?
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
I think you’re going to have to be the one to actually kill the dragon.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Why me?
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
That’s your character. Every character has a role in this game, and you specifically chose a dragon slayer.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Maybe that’s why I didn’t win the first time. Maybe you’re right. Maybe the game is supposed to be played by teaming up.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
When we face the dragon, I’ll distract him, while you plunge the sword into its throat. That’s the softest part.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Wait a second. Do you feel it getting warmer in here?
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Yes. That must mean it’s near.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Where? I don’t see anything.
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Be careful, it can camouflage itself.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
There’s a trail of smoke. There it is! BEHIND YOU!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Jessica, run!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
It’s like the size of a building!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Distract it! Attack it from above. Use your wings! Fly!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
I’m hitting it with everything I have! Nothing’s happening!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Higher, Jessica! Keep flying!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
I won’t be able to get away. I’m not going to make it.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
You won’t have to get away. Keep firing! Distract it!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
I’m trying!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Fly higher. I’m attacking the throat now!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Brandon, watch out for the fire!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I stabbed him! The sword is still in his neck!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Keep shooting him, so I can get my sword back!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I need to stab him again!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Please be careful!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
YOU be careful!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
I’m hitting him with everything. It doesn’t look like it’s having any effect.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
It is! I see it. He’s slowing down!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Yes! I’m hitting him again.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I got the sword!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Get him!
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
He’s falling! Get out of the way!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Move, Brandon!
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
Brandon?
FaerieQueen
FaerieQueen
BRANDON!!
