The Game of Nemesis
Forum-Index → Roleplay → The Game of NemesisAll the players sit in a room. There are no doors or windows. The only thing in the room is chairs and a large table. In front of each player is a golden piece of paper. On each paper, there is a gaint: N on the cover. Nemesis sits on a large chair, next to her is Glitch. Glitch stands there with her arms crossed. "Welcome players!" Nemesis shouts. A look of glee resting on her face. "To the one hundred and twenty second games" she sighs. "Man that gets annoying to say each year... Anyway, I am here to offer you a chance. A chance to renew your lives! You can obtain anything you want from winning these rewards. Unfortunately there can only be one winner" a bored look crosses over her face. "Based on the first few games, I have found that we obtain the most dramatic results if I ask for questions... so... shoot away" her expression shows that she really doesn't want to do this
Ember shook her head. She had no questions. If anything, the fighting and death might be kinda fun. Albiet a bit painful.
Roxanne, being the shy and young girl she was, was also sitting alone. She listened to Nemesis and Glitch, but did nothing to respond or react to it. She avoided all eye contact with everyone there and just stared at the small scar on her hand as she waited.
Bane wasn’t doing so well with listening. He stared at everyone, silently judging them and thinking up ways he could beat them up. Yep, he’s that type of guy...
"Death is absolutely necessary. You are being given an opportunity to have whatever you want!" She snaps. Her voice is ice cold. It's clear she isn't over what Nemesis has done to her. "There must be a cost for something to great"
Of course death would be necessary but hey why not? the reward was good after all. His eyes then turned back to the letter
Rizu looked at Glitch and Nemesis "Do we get to wish for anything we want if we win? Or are there any things that are not allowed or have consequenzes?"
"That's a lie" Glitch replies. "You can't wish for anything that impacts the Game... Trust me, I've tried" she glances away from the group when Nemesis shoots her a sharp look.
"Like my dear Glitch has stated. The only drawback is that you cannot wish for anything that affects the game. But I doubt you guys want to do that..."
May was getting pretty bored. She wanted to cut straight to the chase, she didn’t care about all these pointless questions, she wanted to do the fun stuff.
May opened her eyes and glanced at the portal, then at everyone around her. She slightly shrugged and slowly walked to the portal, hoping that there wasn’t another speech or whatever
Roxanne stayed sitting and waited, inside if she wanted to go in the portal or not.
Glitch enters the portal. She is going to help the other players get settled. A bright light hits her face. It reminds her of the time she was a player. She smiles at this thought, she misses that time. She had hope then. When she lands she is met with a sudden heat. Sand blows around her, she even spots a tumbleweed in the distance. This wouldn't be a fun lobby
"By the way..." Nemesis says. Her voice echos in the minds of those who are already in the lobby. "Last years theme was jungle, this time, it's going to be a desert. I do hope that you brought your sunscreen"
Sorrel looks at the other players. "Why are they here?" she wonders.
Agent Fallows, signing out~
Amane followed behind Tazuli, he have some questions but rather not ask, there’s only one winner huh? Then either him or Tazuli need to die, but he didn’t want to leave either
Woven looks away and closes her eyes. "Protégenos la salvación" she says. She calmly walks through the portal. Her one weapon would be her knowledge.
Sorrel had also walked through the portal. She was hesitant though. "Is this it?" she wonders to herself. "How I end?"
Agent Fallows, signing out~
May sighed and looked around. “Just stop with the games already...” she muttered to Nemesis. She looked at Roxanne with curiosity, observing her like an intricate puzzle. Once they met each other’s gaze, she narrowed her eyes. She already didn’t like this girl...
Bane observed his surroundings, ignoring Glitch, Roxanne, and May. He sighed and waited for everyone to “join the lobby” or whatever.
Barry goes through the portal, ignoring everyone else. Why did he sign up for this? He never wanted to die, but it was good to go down in honor but he didn’t want to go down like this. He made his choice by signing up.
Amane thought about another thing, this is a yearly thing, right? If that’s the case many people would have died at the same time without getting the prize, otherwise when they go back to the real world it would have been announced, this is bad, and there’s no going back now
Glitch snaps her fingers. The letters that each player has starts to glow. "Turn the card over to see the map. As you can see, there are temples in the North and South. The one by the North has a water source, that'll be the best place to live" she looks bored as she speaks. "Ugh, I wish Nemesis would start the games already, this is so boring"
