silent protagonist syndrome

Jul 15, 2009 18:09

[ You look about the room. Not only is this not your bedroom, but someone actually took the liberty of changing you into your school uniform while you were sleeping! How awkward. In a last minute attempt to save your manliness, you decide not to think about it too much.

As far as you can tell, no one's around.

[ You see the man outside the hallway, and are vaguely startled. However, you do not show it, since you are a silent protagonist and silent protags don't show emotion.

In your brief moment of shock, you note the difference in animation and CG styles between you two, but decide not to bother humping the fourth wall too vigorously because that isn't quite in your nature. You forget the thought of it and continue on, nodding back at the man and turning towards him.

> Don't say anything.
> Ask him how it's going.
> Ask him if he knows anything about the place.
> Rub up against him.

You remember that you are not Kanji and the game makes your sexuality clear through your assortment of girlfriends. In addition, stranger danger.

> Don't say anything.
> Ask him how it's going.
> Ask him if he knows anything about the place.
> Rub up against him.

You ask the man how it's going. It's a polite start to an undoubtedly very confused conversation. ]

[ You raise an eyebrow.

> "If you call this 'enjoyment' then you've got some pretty shitty standards."
> "You could say that. Nothing wrong with a change of scenery."
> "....."

OOC.

> "If you call this 'enjoyment' then you've got some pretty shitty standards."
> "You could say that. Nothing wrong with a change of scenery."
> "....."

You give a dry chuckle at the remark and respond with a weak joke about scenery. Nothing wrong with being positive.

Afterwards, you ask the man if he knows anything about the place. ]

[ You shake your head.

> "No shit, Sherlock."
> "Sorry. Wish I could help."

Before speaking, you look at the man once more. He looks pretty beefy and could probably snap your skinny white(?) ass in half. Your Courage falters.

Also, OOC.

> "No shit, Sherlock."
> "Sorry. Wish I could help."

In truth, you didn't even think this was a "box" in the first place. After a moment of thought, however, vague bits of OOC knowledge piece together in your mind and you start to get what the guy means. You apologize for not being any help.

After some thought, you believe that making some allies would not be a bad idea in this place. You introduce yourself to the man, bowing slightly yet respectfully when you tell him your name. ]

[ You nod at the man, feeling slightly more comfortable now that you're on a first name basis. He doesn't seem particularly dangerous, either. You pause to note his bow.

> "Yo, watch it you racist douchebag!"
> Laugh in falsetto and make your geisha face.
> Nod.

The thought of it makes you want to throw up through every orifice. You then decide to ignore the requests of the person who picks from the options.

> "Yo, watch it you racist douchebag!"
> Laugh in falsetto and make your geisha face.
> Nod.

You smile and nod, saying that it's nice to meet him. The thought that, suddenly, you two can speak without any language barriers at all does not strike you as odd.

Figuring that more information would be helpful, you decide to start off by asking Nate how long he's been here. ]

[ You begin to see a glimmer of Nate's life story.

> "Yeah, whatever."
> "I know what you mean."
> "What, are you expecting a pity party?"
> "Poor baby."

You offer a nice-boy laugh and tell him that you are somewhat familiar with his situation, but you also add that you do not necessarily mind it.

After a moment's pause, you add that you do not believe this place seems too bad, and that both of you should be pretty far from trouble here. ]

[ > Even in an unknown place such as this, you feel reassured that there still seems to be people who look deserving of trust.

> You feel a faint bond forming between you and Nathan...

...

> You have established the Nathan Drake Social Link of the Beefy Treasure Hunter Arcana!

> Nathan's determination in battle has been enhanced...

> He can now look just as beefy as he did before in battle!!

Maybe you should say something before you part ways.

> Be an ass and leave.
> Give warm embraces and good byes!
> Look cool and give him that man-to-man understanding head nod.
> Thank him.

You thank the man and tell him that if you find anything, you'll be sure to let him know, as well. You also throw in the cool head nod, just to be safe. ]
