Rollo examined his chest finding that it had no lasting holes from the extreme acupuncture he had recieved. Contented with this fact, Rollo had quickly decided that he didn't like this crossover, and hoped it wouldn't last too long. Something did feel different, though. He couldn't quite decide what medium he was in. He couldn't see any panels around him, so it probably wasn't a comic, and while the empty space around him reminded him of a sheet of paper where a scene may be drawn around him, he had no sense of when the next commercial break might be, or how many frames of animation had been done. Those other guys reminded him a bit of that live action movie he was in, but it wasn't quite the same. Maybe one of those fancy new 3D animated cartoons? He did feel like he had a bit more depth than usual, but that might have been because of the buffet table he was clearing off not long ago. For now, what kind of place he was in was a mystery, but wherever it was, Rollo was pretty sure it had a higher age rating than he was used to.
No direction, no obvious plot devices, the young(?) armadillo wasn't quite sure where to go. As if in response to this, a yellow brick road started being drawn in front of him. Surely there would be something interesting down wherever it was starting to lead. He wouldn't let that concerning introduction to this debacle bother him. Rollo waltzed down the road, whistling a jaunty tune, comepletely ignoring the pit of spikes obstructing the pathway, but that was to be expected, really.
A lot of road and a lot of mostly ignored traps later, Rollo came to the end of the yellow bricks and looked behind him to see a trail of anvils, pianos, and various other heavy devices. This Tormentor guy obviously wasn't trying very hard, or was warming up or something. Just a few moments later, he was approached by a somewhat familiar face, who had evidently just climbed out of a hole.
"Hey, Rollo, remind me what I'm supposed to be doing right now, would you?"
A... game? Still wouldn't make much sense, he should know what role he was. Too much control over himself to be a player character, not enough of an idea of what's happening to be an NPC. Still, if that were it, he might as well act the part. He quickly put together an idea of what this character, probably the player character in this case, would need out of him, and to perhaps advance his own plans of actually figuring out what to do.
"Hiya, Martin! I'm Rollo! That mean ol' Tormentor has put us all in a battle to the death! Some of those other guys seemed pretty mean, but maybe some of them can help out somehow? Let's team up for now!"
In response to this, the words 'ROLLO HAS JOINED THE PARTY' appeared above the armadillo, before quickly crashing down upon his head, caving it in. Martin looked in surprise for a moment before Rollo felt around where his head used to be and grabbed an ear, pulling his head back out of his neck. "Gotta watch out for that violent fourth wall! Do you have any other questions to ask me?"
Martin thought about the information he was given, and decided he'd like to know more about the others involved in this 'deathmatch.'
"Could you tell me about the others here?"
"According to the Tormentor, Gannet is supposed to be really friendly, and with that big grin on his face, he sure seems that way, but I betcha there's something else there.
Samael Corson is some kinda former demon! Apparently he's nice but worried he's evil! We could probably help him out!
That really big guy's name is really hard to say, but he's pretty scary looking and has all those frightening weapons! Maybe we should stay away.
Dorin was supposed to be sacrificed, which is kind of sad on it's own, but even worse is this battle made it all pointless in the end!
Lieutenant Zimmer is an alchemist! He's supposed to be really lucky and I bet he can make a lot of cool potions.
Ke is a giant spider that likes to tell stories! I love a good story, so maybe she would be a good friend."
Rollo quickly remembered the most important thing a video game character can do when giving information.
"Would you like me to repeat that again?"
