FOURTH WALL EVENT POST HELL YEAH

[buttpinched]

[Morning was a ritual of waking up, going to the dining area of the VIolet city inn, and waiting for everyone to arrive.

Family breakfast was important, even if your family was currently a little... Strange. Or at least it was for Lion. So every morning everyone got together (Will included of course) to do important things like speaking about how you slept, or what your plans for the day were.

This was of course, a Rule. Absolute serious business. At least if you knew what's good for your personal relationships including Lion.

And so, Lion waited for Will, who was taking surprisingly long to come down. Hopefully he wouldn't have gotten transported somehwere else (as if it weren't hard enough to keep track of him already). Because of course. there was no reason at all for Will to be running off to Goldenrod again, right?

At least not if he knew what's good for his backside.

The first one to go downstairs was Katharine, who looked like she was crying. She quickly ran towards Lion, jumping on Lion’s legs and blaming the hell out of it.]

EEEEESSSSPEEEONNN!!! OOOOOOON!!! WAAAAA!!!

[THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!]

[Dlanor, who went down in the second place, proceeded to do some damage control. That means knocking the hell out of that Espeon. Ignoring that, Will decided to make an appearance. Only that this time it would be a bit different.



Usually, it would be normal to see him with the same face, but there’s something off about Will. Why does Will have tits to begin with? Diana, who is recording this, is even more surprised. Now we understand why Katharine was crying.]
… Hn. Don’t ask.

[Diana decides that it would be better to just, eat the pokegear to hide the evidence. So she calls Gerturde, the skitty for such job. Enjoy the last minutes of a Skitty nomming the gear until it shuts down.]

[OOC: two people logged in with the same google docs account can actually write at the same time, or so Kai and Miyu discovered while writing this Post featuring Willarda and Lion. Tags may and will come from both boobies Will and pretty much the same as always Lion. Also when we finished this post we were listening to Friday, so to would be best to keep out of this post.]

Ah, well... The reason as to why the game started is something I don't know, I arrived when it was very advanced, so asking for those details was pointless. Besides it was clear the game had gone on for so long that maybe both witches playing it had forgot why it began. In fact, again Beatrice is a special witch in that aspect, her game wasn't made just to escape boredom. But indeed, most witches run away from it.

You see, boredom is a poison for them. It kills them, so they are always looking for ways to avoid it. Even if that means taking over someone else's game. As to why anyone would allow a game to go with hundreds of almost identical scenarios, the answer is simply. One of the players abandoned the game. The player controlling the side with the king piece that was being challenge, gave up on playing but not on the game, so the king piece was forced to control its own troops on its own, without being aware that it was trapped in a game of witches until several games had happened. You can imagine why several games ended being almost identical repetitions as the king piece tried to comprehend the situation it was in.

Why was it being killed? Who did it? How did it happen? Which pieces affected the outcome, which didn't. The kind piece also didn't even start with all the pieces on its side. It was missing the queen piece, and it didn't know who its knight or its bishop were even if they were in front of it in the gameboard. So many pieces ended being unused, many of them ended not appearing in the gameboard several times until the king piece learned how to trigger it. It also took a long time for the king piece to understand which was the mystery that it had to crack, and that it had to sacrifice some pieces in order to have the ones that would help it defeat the enemy. It's hard to imagine even for me, a wizard, how the king piece felt when it realized that it had to sacrifice so many pieces to be able to have a chance, that it even had to let its parents die... It's no wonder that piece turned such an emotionless monster.

[The last part, though spoken as if directed to Lion, sounded more as something told to himself as he stared intently at the king piece.]

I know that, and I also know that after living away from being human for so long, most witches don't see life in the same way we humans do.

But I still can't wrap my mind around such a mindset, that was my point... I have a difficult time trying to imagine how one could lead such a life. But that is only logical. Experiencing something like that would be the only real way of knowing exactly how it feels.

Say, Primo-san... You were closely involved with that gameboard or with someone in it, weren't you?

[promotedpawn]

That's quite true, and that's the difference between humans and witches. But honestly I think that's okay, there's nothing wrong in not understanding everything. There are things that are better left inside the cat box.

[Even when said cat box is open, what if there's a cat box inside that one? It may be better to leave it closed after all. If humans were meant to understand everything, they would be born as Gods to begin with.]

Ah, such a sharp observant, Lion-san. But it's not entirely correct, really, I only arrived to participate on it at the end of the previous to last game. Me and my companion were invited to the gameboard and allowed to control two pieces on it, one for each one of us. It was thanks to that that we gained so much knowledge and understanding on it despite being so late. Had we not participated it's probable that the game would still be going on even now. Though many could argue that to allow that game to go on eternally may have been the best for many others, all the witches involved on it moved on soon after it ended to find other games to play.

[Other pieces to torture. But that goes without saying.]

[isthedeadcat]

I see, that makes sense... But these games are as complex as ever, aren't they...?

Saving some people sometimes, may lead others to be sacrificed... Still, when doing something one has to always hope for the best results. There is no point in letting things stay as they are when someone is suffering.

[promotedpawn]

It wouldn't be "fun" if they weren't complex. And the happy ending would have no meaning if they were easy.

That's true, in fact, that game board was solved at the cost of many sacrifices by the king piece. Without those sacrifices, no matter how much help it received, there would have been no happy ending. Of course, after the end of that game, I checked the kakeras out of the witches game and found a way to avoid any sacrifices, but it was a way outside of the king's area of effect, it was something only a witch or a wizard could affect in.

But even with sacrifices, the happy ending was reached, not once but twice, though the first time it got denied, based in that only the main mystery had been cracked, but others had been left untouched. Even if the main premise of a game is solved, unless all the other minor problems are solved, there's always a chance for the witch to negate the happy ending because any of those apparently minor problems can grow and crush the game with its weight when the main one is solved.

[He hasn't watched Lion's game yet, but it's not a far cry from what happened there.]

So we played again and achieved a beautiful happy ending, that no witch had the power to negate. There were still a few bitter parts of it, but by the time I stopped watching, there was nothing of that left. Humans can have many problems, but without the interference of witches trying to create even more conflicts it's amazing how much the number of those lowers.
