It is a very hot night. The air smells stale, and the air conditioning isn't working. You don't want to turn on the fans because they shake and rattle around and you fear that they might come toppling down, thus decapitating you. Which would be bad.
So you sit there in the bed, trying to get your old gameboy advance to work. Then you read a comic or two. Then you doze off for ten minutes.
Suddenly, you hear a loud knocking on your door. Your parents have been asleep for a while now; you're up later than them most nights. Plus, that's not the quiet knocking of a parent. That's a full-fledged pounding on the door. Whatever it is that is out there, it's starting to get impatient. So you reluctantly get out of bed and open the door a crack. You don't see anyone.
"Down hereeeah!" You hear someone cry. You look down, and there stands your hermit crab. Its a tiny thing, and it sports a funny looking shell with snoopy painted on it. How it had done that loud knocking you have no idea, but that seems quite possible now that your hermit crab is talking to you.
"Um... hello." Not the best greeting, but you can't think of anything witty to say at the moment for obvious reasons. The hermit crab pushes through the door and walks into the room. It stumbles over the pair of flipflops you didn't have time to put back into your closet.
After the shock dies down, you recall that your hermit crab is named Mushroom. Now Mushroom is making its way to you across the floor. Soon, It is infront of you. Sticking out a tiny leg to touch your foot, you don't try to stop it. Its not like it would cause you any harm.
Then, next thing you know, your flying through your room. You hit the wall (which is quite painful) and slide to the ground. Then the hermit crab is there. Again, it sticks out its foot and before you know what's happening, your flying towards the other wall. You hit it again, and fall to the ground. The hermit crab is quickly approaching again.
"I don't like hermit crabah pellets! I want fresh fruitah everyday, and some hermitah crab cakes! Not pelletahhhs!"
You realize your getting beaten up by a hermit crab. Which is so not cool. It's upon you again. You back away, but unfortunately find out that your stuck against the wall. "Nooo!" you hear yourself say as it sticks out its leg. But then, suddenly, your falling into darkness. You hit the ground lightly. It's damp and cold and bare.
Opening your eyes, you look around...only to find you can't see anything. It's pitch black. You wonder if you actually did open your eyes.
As your eyes adjust, you find that your in a shabby old house. No...a mansion. Wow, this is cliche, you think to yourself. Standing up, you idly look around again and realize that your not alone. Three other faces stare back at you...
(cue mysterious music)
Will you survive? Will the others survive? All you know is that this isn't an ordinary haunted house...
This is where the four of you come in, whoever you might be. I'll give you each four options and what to do, then I'll type out what happens, give you four more options, and so on. So that way, all of you pick what ou do next. It's all up to you. Keep in mind, if you die in the haunted house, I have nothing whatsoever against you. Before you pick an option, I'll already have all the possible outcomes thought up. XD
Just make it through the really weird haunted house. can't be that hard...right? We'll see.
Here are four keywords.
Grass (Claimed by Aura)
Agua (Claimed by Cinna)
Lightbulb (Claimed by Thundy)
Robin (Claimed by Haymitch)
Just type the keyword, and you'll be part of the game. Only four people are allowed this first round. There will be ten round of options, then a new game will start, with a whole different plot and new people. It'll be fun! Plus I get to work on my writing skills. <3
If you played one round, your not allowed to play in the next round, but you are allowed to try to gain entry for the round after that. That way everyone gets a turn if they want one.
Story Time!
