Nine Purple Files

[proudambassador]

The high scores on the games of chance here, in this Wilderness, I have beaten. The shooting games I am decent at, but the others, I find I do not understand them. Why would one dodge a monkey throwing barrels? Why would aliens attack in neat little rows so you can shoot them? One defender, they could not fight that many, no

I have not actually gone down to the current Wilderness as of yet; it does sound most interesting.

However, I am afraid you will have to request the rum from another.

[proudambassador]

Then do come down, my good Fred. We can let the aliens win the game and cheer, no?

That, it is a shame. But perhaps someone will take pity on one who is thirsty.

[burntorangesky]

Very well, I shall be down there shortly. Would you be so good as to inform me of the surrounding games? It may make it more easy for me to find you once I am down there.

For the sake of your thirst, then, I certainly hope someone does.

[proudambassador]

I am by the Alien Invasion game, taking a great deal of joy in losing. Preventing a dying race from landing on earth is most selfish. And then, also nearby, it is a game called Frogger. The concessions stand, it is close.

As do I, my dear Fred, as do I.

Rum and coke sounds like a good combination. Tell ya what, I think I'll take you up on that offer. I'll bring a bottle down, I've been meaning to go back anyway. That dancing game they have, don't know why it's called Revolution since you're just hitting arrows. But it's fun.

[proudambassador]

It is very good. Sweet, with a kick.

I shall look forward to your arrival, my good person. My name, it is Ambassador. And you are...?

[books_and_toads]

I can deal with that.

Oh, sorry. I'm Book, pleasure to meet you, Ambassador. Be right down.

[proudambassador]

I would hope so.

The pleasure, it is mine, of course, and I shall await you with empty glasses and a pleasantly full pocket, yes?

[crimsonmischief]

If you still need rum, I can probably bring some down~!

[proudambassador]

My good Crimson. My dear, good Crimson. There is never not a need for rum.

[crimsonmischief]

Well then, I'll be right down~!

[proudambassador]

Myself, I am glad to hear it.

I believe that the purpose is to develop such skills as swiftness, focus and coordination. It's most ingenious. Dodging barrels thrown by a monkey sounds much more entertaining than dodging arrows fired by one's merciless drill sergeant.

[proudambassador]

Arrows? My good person, who gets shot at with arrows by an ally? And finds it entertaining?

No, no. Far better to enjoy the comforts of life than dodge any outrageous arrows or barrels, hm?

[getsome_sleep]

A point I cannot possibly contest. Barrels are poor weapons, either way.

[proudambassador]

Yes. They are. Perhaps that is why the monkey is using them, hm?
