THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME
[OTHER Demo Soundtrack - Go Outside]
Skeleton King
The knight dutifully gazes across the ocean from the beach. He can't help but glance to the side at the odd companions joining them today in a bit of sports hunting. "Castellan Edger, are you sure these are the "types" you wish to hunt with today. Surely there must be more people of your standing to engage with."
Edger Drakken
"Sometimes it is the strangest companions that have the most excitement. The way the commoners hunt is often a touch more exciting than upperclassmen."
Edger Drakken
"You there. Drake." Edger Drakken motions down at his guest of the day. "What are you seeking on this fine day?"

"What am I seeking? Hoho! Rare is it that I hear of a dragon around these parts, and as a dragon myself I wish to duel it and defeat it! Perhaps instead I will come across a lesser capture creature, and will make up my mind as to what I shall do with it later." The aftik puffs up his feathers in a proud stance. Despite his claims of being a dragon, it's clear he's merely just as loud as one.
Edger Drakken
"A dragon yourself hmmm? What fear are you?"
Skeleton King
The knight doesn't humor Drake one bit. "You should be careful feathered bird. The entire universe is seeking dragons."
Skeleton King
"Mention such things to the wrong person, and you'll be put in a cage...."
Skeleton King
"Though if you like such things, I may know a person or two very much willing to test your dragon powers."
Drake
"'Tis the fear of hunters I instill in others, good sirs. I fear not a cage, nor any 'wrong people,' nor anything else in this world! For I am competent enough that they would see no reason to harm me, only to revel in my skills."
Drake
"I have recently returned from a long and arduous journey, the great "kicking back and relaxing," terrible thing it is! I nearly got myself killed fighting a woman who claimed herself be a 'masseuse', but I believe she was trying to kill me, and I simply did what was just! I have not heard from them since this 'spa' rightfully ejected me from its premises after the event, so rest assured, I always have my eyes and ears open, and can be considered a competent man."
Edger Drakken
Edger looks to the other two. "Introduce yourselves. Don't be shy."

"Oh yes, hello! My name is Joshua, very happy to be helping you all find a dragon!" Joshua does a little bow in respect.

Fuzzy stood there adjusting the lenses on her camera, peering through the device every few moments to test the focus. She perks up as she's adressed.

"Uh- Hi! I'm nothing special, just here for support, and to uh, record? I'll take pictures of whatever you end up hunting. Bit of a photographer, although I don't usually do nature photography..."
Skeleton King
"You fear not cages nor wrong men? How interesting. Maybe we'll see how you hold up later."
Edger Drakken
"I'm willing to humor this man on his claims of being a dragon." Edger moves Gretel to face Drake.
Edger Drakken
"It is said that all dragons can speak a common tongue. Maybe you can speak to Gretel....if you are a dragon, of course."
Edger Drakken
Gretel sniffs Drake and lets out a quick burst of muttering clicking calls.
Drake
"Kahaha! A real life dragon! It's been a while since I have seen another like me..." Drake turns to the kafkil by his side and herds it over to Gretel. "My great beast, look at this, a dragon! Look how it speaks like me! Though it could certainly speak a bit louder..."

Drake directs his kafkil to [animal translate] the dragon at a volume he can hear.

The kafkil gives a general vibe that Gretel is happy at the moment to be outside and on a ride. She knows that after a ride she gets a good meal, and she loves a good meal.

Drake
"You're hungry! Why, I'm hungry, too. Perhaps by the end of this we can feast together, for we will have surely bonded over this adventure." He turns to Edger. "Ah, this dragon is not very terrifying! She is crying for a meal like an ordinary housepet. But to be spoiled means you treat her well, no?"
Fuzzy
Woah, real dragon language! Fuzzy nudges her oversized heer of a Phobe to make sure it's getting that for later. Never know when you'll need a dragon call.
Edger Drakken
"I gave her some food before we started but she must still be hungry. I do notice she does get rather excited near the end of hunts.....Maybe there is something to your claims?"
Skeleton King
"Don't be too impressed, Castellan. A broken clock is right at least twice a day. A fool could make such a guess."
Skeleton King
The Knight leans towards Edger. ("Ah, but do not fret too much, Castellan Edger. I'll make sure we, "test" this dragon fully later.")
Edger Drakken
("I suppose it would not bother me. After all, it is he who is making the claims. He should not be surprised if "Tests" must be done.")
Edger Drakken
"Here comes our boat. I made sure to not hire that mad boatsmen, even if he is more knowledgeable about the sea. I believe him to be a liar from what I have heard. Maybe this boat will take us to fairer lands." Edger gets on the boat, as it docks.
Drake
"Oh, I am no fool, you shall see that soon. Do lighten up, uutzi, for great travels await us on this boat!" Drake hops onboard with a "hup" and takes the map in his hands.

"As a dragon, I'm sure you can "sense" the one we are hunting. Here is an offering of where the boatsman can take us. You, the "dragon", point us the way." Edger hands a map, listing a few locations

  1. To the land that should not be touched, where the locals live

  2. To the island of shells

  3. To the island of oil

  4. To where the wind takes you

Skeleton King
"A rather fruity map."
Edger Drakken
"..............................." Frankly Edger Drakken is too baffled to respond to the concept of a map being fruity.

Fuzzy peers over Drake's shoulder as she climbs aboard the boat, peering at the map, and she perks up a bit.

"The locals, huh..? What are they like? Have any of you met them yet? The boatman isn't a local, is he? I've just been really curious-" She babbles quickly before quieting down.
Edger Drakken
"The boatman is a local. Her kin had died recently, murdered, she believes."
Edger Drakken
"I know those dragonkin say that we should not interact or go to the other land, but frankly, I do not care for what they say!"
Edger Drakken
"After the tricks they have played on me, I believe it would be exciting if the ole Skeleton King had his hands upon their necks."
Skeleton King
"The locals are all queer. They're of no use for information. Many of them do not even speak our language, but at least they are entertaining to watch."
Skeleton King
"Much like Edger here! Ha!"
Drake
"My friend, Gretel, look, this man says this map leads us to fruit! You wanted food, did you not?"

He strolls off away from earshot of Edger's outburst to observe the waves while inviting the dragon to follow him. Drake lets himself think with his stomach, that is to let Gretel think with her stomach. While he's humming over which location to pick, the threat of a wrong choice nonexistent in his delusional mind, he gives a chance to let her observe the map's four locations.
Gretel
Gretel, while blind and deaf, seems to find interest in the pitter pattering vibrations of Drake pacing across the sand, especially as she wishes to avoid the laugh of the Skeleton King. The strange smell of the map, she thinks, must be food. She sniffs around, getting closer to a blank emptiness on the map, empty ocean, before she recoils and snorts. She sticks out her tongue and hisses, unpleased with some scent sticking to the map in that section.
Fuzzy
Fuzzy considers the words of the others for a moment, before moving over to where Drake watched the waves.

"Excuse me, Drake, wherever we end up going... could you find some time to ask the boat person about the... curse, on the islands? On the way back, maybe...?"
Drake
"Hm? You think something is awful there? Why, where your sense of adventure?" He reaches over to pat Gretel's head. "Rest assured, no problem is ever truly dealt with unless you face it head-on! I shall tell Edger to head there, and by the time this day is over, you won't have to worry about this anymore."
Drake
He stops his monologue to listen to Fuzzy. "Oh! Yes, of course. Though, it is your quest of curiosity, is it not? I encourage you to ask him yourself if you have the time, but if you fall short, I shall ask."
Drake
Upon returning to the rest of the group, Drake holds out the map and thrusts his finger at a point in the middle of the ocean. "Gretel and I have discussed, and we pick an option, the fifth option, one that shall surely lead us to adventure! Edger, your dragon told me an evil resides here."
Edger Drakken
"An evil lurks here?" Edger points at the middle of the ocean. "There doesn't seem to be anything here."
????
The local sticks her head out of the control room. She eyes the place where Edger points. "Where the Wind Blows."
????
When she gets nothing but confused looks, she tried to change her wording. "The wind blows there."
????
When she still yet gets nothing but glances she takes a deep breath and mimics how some aliens she knows talks. "HELLO AMAZING ALIENS!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!! WE'RE GOING TO GO IN THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND!!!"
????
Thinking it over, most the aliens she's met have always been yelling, so aliens must be hard of hearing!
Fuzzy
Fuzzy gives a nervous little chuckle and a small wave at the local.

"See, I think you'd have a better time understanding them, Drake."

"HELLO, I LOVE YOU TOO!!" Joshua waves at the alien, he's both matching the yelling and excited to see an alien he's never seen before.
Drake
"AHAHAHA! YOU'RE RIGHT, I LOVE YOU!" Drake gives the map to the alien so they can both hold it at the same time. He points to the middle of the ocean. "WE'RE GOING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND!"
????
"OK! YOU'RE AMAZING! LOVE YOU! WE'LL GO!" The local gets the ship out of port, but afterwards lets go of the controls, quite literally letting the wind take the ship where it wants to go.
Fuzzy
Fuzzy glances around at the others and decides to just ask.

"Ah- HELLO! CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE CURSE?"
????
The local tilts her head as Fuzzy mentions the curse. "Oh...curse....."

"Ah! AH I MEAN CURSE! THESE WATERS ARE CURSED! YOU MUST BELIEVE IT IS CURSED! YOU MUST FEEL THAT IT IS CURSED!!!! I LOVE YOU ALIEN! ARE YOU SCARED?" She waves her arms to empathize how much fear she wants.
Drake
"I'M NEVER SCARED!" There's a good chance that he has a genetic anomaly and this is true.
"I LOVE YOU, TOO! WE'RE GOING TO END THIS CURSE!"
Fuzzy
Fuzzy looks confused for a moment, and looks out at the waters as they float.

"Huh... Is the curse the dragon? I don't know a lot about dragons, but they're fears, right? Is the dragon's fear the fear of the forbidden cursed islands?" She wonders aloud.
The winds pulled the ship along its path...
Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 5 is rolled.
????
"Bad.....Ole Za-zork..." The driver is forced to take control of the boat as a galehaut quickly approaches the ship.
[Bulbasaur's Daring Dash - PokéPark Wii]

The tiny galehaut known as Ole Za-zork flips out of the water in front of the boat. While small for a galehaut, he was still large enough to disturb the movement of the ship. He sniffs the nets on the side of the boat and grabs them, tugging on them to see if there's fish to eat.

Ole Za-zork rolls a 20 sided die. A 9 is rolled.
????
The galehaut is able to bite on the net and drag the ship around for a few seconds before letting go. He doesn't seem done with this ship though. The boat driver points at the shimmering creature in the water. "HATE THAT BASTARD! NO LOVE! TRIP RUINED! COULD SINK SHIP!"
Joshua
"Oh dear..." Joshua puts his hands together and tries to get as far away from the sides of the boat as possible.
Drake
With the help of his kafkil's [translations] Drake can easily see Ole Za-zork is hungry. "ANOTHER BEAST IN WANT OF FOOD, EH?" he cries. "FOUL BEAST, EARN YOUR RIGHT!" He hops to the alien. "YOU THERE, DO YOU HAVE FOOD ON THIS SHIP?"
Fuzzy
Fuzzy leans over the side of the boat and snaps a picture of the gale as it passes.

"OR HARPOONS, MAYBE?"
????
She shakes her head at the travelers. "HAVE NETS. HAVE HOOKS. I LOVE FISH!"
Skeleton King
"This is a fishing boat, you idiots! Not a battle station!" The knight pulls out his rifle, aiming it into the sea.
Skeleton King
"Before I shoot this thing to death, are any of you hippies going to give me grief over this?"

"I'm sure there must be a nicer way to get the fish to er, uhmmm....calm down..."
Drake
"HARRRUMPH! IF WE CANNOT TAME THIS BEAST WITH EASE, SHOOTING IT IS!" While Drake does not have a weapon to point at the galehaut, he puffs up his feathers and tries to look very intimidating.
Fuzzy
"We could try and tangle it up in the nets. This is a fishing boat, that's a big fish."
Skeleton King
"The "Dragon" over there said I could shoot! So I'm fucking shooting it to death! If you crybabies have a problem, you can complain to the dragon!" The Skeleton King takes aim, and fires upon the galehaut.
Skeleton King rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +10. A 16 is rolled.
Skeleton King
The galehaut pulls its head out of the water and screeches in pain as it is shot. Instead of fleeing the ship, it swims towards it. It has only known the people of ships to feed it, so it believes the source of its pain must be coming from the water. "HAHAHA! Spot on shot! Would you like a go, Castellan Edger?"
Skeleton King
"Or do you think the recoil will hurt your poor feminine claws?"

Joshua covers his eyes and presses himself on the wall of the control room, "Oh no no no ..."
Edger Drakken
Edger takes the gun from his knight. "How strange of you to be looking at my hands so often. Do you perhaps want to hold them, you brute? I think I can shoot a sitting duck!"
Edger Drakken
"No offense to you, dragon, of course." He motions to Drake, before pointing at the waters and at the incoming galehaut.
Fuzzy
"Uh. Hey? The human is kind of freaking out?"
Drake
"HAHA! WHAT OFFENSE? A DUCK I AM NOT."
Drake
"OH!" Drake turns his head to the human. "REST ASSURED! ALL WILL BE OKAY! IF YOU EVER FEAR, SIMPLY FACE YOUR FEARS HEAD-ON!" He frowns. "What are your fears, exactly?"
Edger Drakken rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 25 is rolled.
Edger Drakken
Edger Drakken aims at the skull of the scared galehaut approaching and shoots with no mercy. A perfect headshot, the injured creature instantly goes limp in the water, dead.
Edger Drakken
Edger hands the weapon back. "How bad of a shot you are, knight. To fail where a person trained in crossbows has succeeded."

"YAY!!!! ALIENS I LOVE YOU!!!! FUCK THAT BASTARD!!!!!!! PARTY ON!!!!" It appears the local is overjoyed that Ole Za-zork is dead.
Fuzzy
Fuzzy walks up to the Edger and the Skeleton King nervously, glancing to the human still freaking out in a corner.

"(Hey listen I know this is an awful thing to do and stuff but that human is making me kind of nervous so maybe we should throw him overboard before he eats us.)"
Skeleton King
"Consider it done, my lady."
Edger Drakken
"THAT'S SOME WEIRD ALIEN AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LISTEN TO HER BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN?"
Skeleton King
"No. I'm listening to her because she's right."

You can hear a sob come from the poor human, he's basically dry heaving right now. He can't see whats going on around him as he's still covering his face, he's trying very hard to not completely loose it.
Drake
"Down she goes! Another danger hunted!" Drake, who was right next to Josh, helps him up.
Skeleton King
The Skeleton King breaks into the control room and grabs Joshua, pulling him away from Drake. "Disgusting human. Enjoy the fish meat."
Drake
"If you have fears, friend, fight to beat them! If you can't fight us, learn to swim!"
Skeleton King
"MOVE OUT THE WAY ASSHOLES. HELP ME CHUCK HIM OVER THE BOAT!!!!"
Fuzzy
Fuzzy isn't exactly very physically impressive, so she gets out of the way instead.
Drake
Drake aids the Skeleton King. "Ahaha! Today I was not planning on hunting a human, but I'd be damned if this was not one of my best catches yet!"
He turns to Joshua. "Nothing personal, of course. I still believe in you! You do know how to swim, yes?"

Joshua just looks horrified at all of the people on the boat. Why did he ever go on vacation, this must be a lesson, that maybe it's okay that he's banned from basically everywhere. That is the only thing he thinks about in the attempt to not accidentally kill everyone on the boat, even when they were about to throw him off.
Skeleton + Drake rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 24 is rolled.
Skeleton King
"HEAVE! HOOOO!!!!!" Skeleton King and Drake work together, with their powerful arms, to toss Joshua even pass the dead gale. "HAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
Skeleton King
The Skeleton King leans over the railing of the ship, shooting up two middle fingers. "FUCK YOU HUMAN! WE WERE ALWAYS GOING TO TOSS YOUR DUMB ASS OUT INTO THE WATER!"
Drake
"WAHAHAHAHAH! GOOD LUCK OUT ON THE HIGH SEAS!"
Skeleton King
"We all hope you drown, you disgusting little beast."
????
"BYE UGLY! HATE YOU!!!!!!" The local tosses the net around the gale and turns her ship around and head back to port, leaving Joshua to the mercy of the sea.
Fuzzy
Fuzzy doesn't join the yelling. This was for the best- The human would've hurt them otherwise. But she's not thrilled about it.

Joshua gets himself to float at least, you can see him pathetically bob up and down in the water as the boat moves away.
Drake
As the ship sails away with the dead galehaut in tow, Drake locates Gretel and gets her to join his side. "You said you were hungry, yes? Why don't we cut up this beast and have it for a feast? AND I CAN TAKE ITS HEAD AND MOUNT IT ON MY WALL! HOHO!"
Gretel
While Gretel the blind and deaf cannot hear, nor see, the yelling of Drake is an enjoyable and pleasant vibration. She nestles up to the aftik. She may not know what is going on, but no one has hit her, there is a kind vibration surrounding her, and she can smell blood in the air. She doesn't know who her new friend is, but she does know she is happy.

But he struggled to focus on the good, the death of the poor animal and the betryal of the crew tore into his mind.
Joshua
He thought about all the horrible things he'd been called since he got there, all the terrible looks he's been given. It was all his fault really, he let himself be sad.
Joshua
They were right to do this to him, every single thing. For some strange reason, this made him feel better.
