powertotearerAnd maybe because you're having too much fun, but it escapes you that the games and seating have been set in a series of geometric shapes within a circle. But it's kind of hard to miss two members of student council, in hooded ceremonial robes, dragging Eiji into the middle of the circle. They drop him to his knees, and he starts clutching at his chest, breathing heavily but clenching his teeth closed, as if he's fighting off a scream. Should you get the nurse? Or go over to try to help him? It doesn't matter, you're just as frozen in place as he is. The two students beside him start chanting, loudly reciting words in the strange language you can't understand. But you do pick up one word—"inugami." And every time they say it, Eiji looks worse, clawing at himself and reaching for his throat until he can't take it anymore, and he begins barking.
His hands drop to the floor, and his nails dig into the carpet as he continues. At that moment, the games you're playing start glitching, and the heroes in them start looking directly at you. The chanting and barking get louder, so loud that you think you're going to lose your mind in the noise, and then...
It stops, and the sound of 8-bit music fills your ears. Not to mention the world around you looks bright, and strangely pixelated.
Also you're probably keeping a princess or something in a castle. There's that.
You're now the villain in whatever game you were just playing. You've got one life. The heroes have several. Try to wear them out until it's game over.
1.
So you're standing on a platform, keeping a pink-dressed lady locked up. That's kind of awful, isn't it? Well, the lady's a sorceress, and she keeps summoning this humanoid creature in red overalls. It gets stronger the closer it gets to her, but at least it can be stopped if you throw a barrel at it.
Oh, you're running low on barrels? Well, better grab the creepy lady and keep climbing up those ladders to escape this thing.
2.
Speaking of creatures that keep chasing you, there is a horrifying blue blur that keeps coming after you and a bunch of powerful jewels that you're safeguarding. And this monster is fast, rolling along like a ball even going airborne as it collects various golden rings. At least you have some robots to help protect you, right? Just as a line of bodies between you and that thing.
What do you mean that if it gets enough rings, it gets an extra life? How is that fair?!
3.
Well, hate to break it to you, but you're a ghost. Good luck with that.
Actually, wait a second. This whole being a ghost thing really comes in handy, since a round, gluttonous beast that's invaded your labyrinth is very easily killed whenever you come into contact with it. So you get to chase the thing around until...
...Until it eats one of a few pellets that are scattered around the maze, giving it temporary invincibility and the ability to kill you.
However that works, despite you being, as already stated, a ghost.
4.
So. You have a problem.
See, you've been working really, really hard to get everything in order for your mother to come visit. You've gotten your hair done (and it looks fabulous, btw), you've taken your best sword, and you're waiting for her to show up.
And then some blonde asshole with a giant butcher knife shows up with his pals and tries to ruin everything.
They are eco-terrorists, and they are dangerous. After all, butcher knife. And you really don't want to have to tell Mom not to come, it's not safe, but you know what? You can handle this. As long as the asshole didn't have his dead girlfriend summon some kind of power that'll weaken you in the most critical moment...
OH FOR THE LOVE OF...
