Rooms [TEXT] - TimeothyHour - 08-08-2011
His name is Charles Erwin, youâre pretty sure. Or, at least, it was, at some point in his life. He drove the bus route on Wednesdays. Or maybe he was that sales clerk at Wal-Mart. Or maybe he just has one of those faces.
Either way, that face is now grinning at you, his devilish teeth shining somehow in the insufficient light. As he sits down, he pulls out a suitcase, and sits it down in front of you. His eyes quiver with fire as he speaks.
âSo, what do you say? Is it a deal?â

>Sure why not. What could possibly go wrong?

âSure, why not. What could possibly go wrong?â You say with a weak smile on your face. Youâre actually quite aware that a lot could go wrong. A lot already has gone wrong, and a lot probably will.
âAlright, then,â he replies, that predatory grin still shining on his face. âLetâs begin, shall we?â
He slides his fingers on the edge of the suitcase, two small clicks indicating that it has unlocked, and slowly lifts the lid. He pulls out a sealed envelope, along with a letter opener. He looks at you one last time as he speaks.
âLetâs see how far we can bend reality, shall we?â
He opens the letter, and everything begins to burn.

You wake up in a room. Youâve done this before, much more so over these past few⦠days? Hours? Youâre not really sure anymore. Youâre pretty sure this is the same room you were in before. Two chairs, a table, a door on the far wall. Charles Erwin and his suitcase is nowhere to be seen. A piece of paper sits on the table.
You have quite a day ahead of you.

Get ye paper.

>That door is probably locked but try it anyway. Don't forget to push and pull it. You never know.
Re: Rooms [TEXT] - TimeothyHour - 08-08-2011
You grab the paper, even though youâre pretty sure whatâs already on it.
Yup, you were right, itâs your contract. You read it over to make sure everything is in order.

Representatives: Order of the metaphysical- Mr. Smith, Mr. black- Himself.

Everything seems to be in order. Not like you had much of a choice.
You walk over towards the door opposite to you. You're not particularly surprised to find that it is locked. Nothing is ever that easy anymore.

Of course, itâs a good thing you can manipulate reality now, or things would be much, much harder.

âSo, what do you say? Is it a deal?â
"You say that as if I really had any choice in the matter," you reply, drumming your fingers angrily on the table. âIt was already made for me.â
His eerie grin widens as he speaks, saying, âYes, yes. We both know what the answer is, but you have to say it in order for our little⦠confirmation to work.
âFine, then,â you reply, grimacing. âNo. No thank you. Iâm not interested in the settlement.â
âThere we are,â he says, standing up, lifting the suitcase off the table and placing it back by his side. âNow if you could, please follow me.â

Punch him in the face, then grab his suitcase and follow him anyways.
Re: Rooms [TEXT] - Godbot - 08-10-2011
Nah, but seriously, just let him open the door in what I assume is your imagination thing, which I'm guessing will open the door in your reality.
