What a twist!
Frau Bishop said:
Chefe said:Juan Carlos: "Let me take care of that for you, conejo."
You step to the side of the door way. Juan takes a few steps back and wipes the sweat from his forehead. He picks his leg up, rears back, and slams the door open with one mean kick. It hits the wall with such force, that a vase falls from a table several feet away, falling to the floor and shattering into a million pieces.
As a vibration lingers in your ear, it may be just the pain in your head, but you believe you hear another door shut in the distance.
You: "Well, that's one way in. That bastard probably knows we're back. I think I heard a door shut, maybe to the basement."
Juan Carlos: "What now?"
- Look around
- Sneak around
- Go to the basement
- Yell for Raul
You look over at Juan Carlos and nod your head. He pulls his revolver out of a holster, and you check the bullet count on yours. There's seven. You enter the house, with Juan right at your back.
You walk through the small hallway. There are pictures of family and friends lining the walls, along with a painting of a river and two ducks. There are several dents in the base boards, and some chipped paint slighty above that. The silence is deadly. Not even the birds are chirping outside. You look through old window, and the bright sun of late afternoon flashes in your face. You rub your eyes, seeing spots, and everything seems to get darker.
Juan Carlos: "Hey, conejo. There's some stairs leading down in the kitchen over here."
You turn and follow Juan through the doorway. You place your hand along the wooden edging as you turn in. The place is fairly clean, with several dishes in the sink, and some on the table. You walk over to that central table and touch the mix of corn and rice still on a plate. It's warm. Your hand firmly grips your gun. You smile at Juan, but his eyes are fixated on the stairs leading down.
- Look around
- Tell Juan to go down the stairs
- Go down the stairs
- Yell for Raul
You: "Hey you slippery son of a bitch! We're here on business! We know you're down there, so show yourself before things get nasty!"
No answer.
- Look around
- Tell Juan to go down the stairs
- Go down the stairs
- Yell for Raul again
You: "Juan, check it out."
You point towards the stairway. Juan gives you a shrug, then heads begins the descent, with you in tow. The stair case is not that long, maybe fifteen steps. You squish a spider climbing along the wall with your finger. Juan attempts to open the door at the bottom of the stairs.
Juan Carlos: "Locked."
- Bust open the door
- Tell Juan to bust it open
- Look around for something to pick the lock with
- Yell for Raul
You pull up your sleeve and charge the door. It vibrates a little, and you bounce back in pain.
You: "God! Ah! Shi... Raul!"
Juan laughs.
Juan Carlos: "Ha ha! Oh, little conejo, when will you learn?"
You: "Quit fuckin' callin' me conejo!"
Juan laughs some more. He fires a shot at the rusty door handle, blasting it clean off. He kicks the door. It swings open. Hard. You peer inside and see the man himself, Raul, standing in the middle of the small, dark room and covering his face.
- Tell him why you're here
- Ask him if he knows why you're here
- Shoot him
- Kill him
You: "Juan, check to see if there's anyone else around here."
You fire a shot straight at Raul's leg. It hits his thigh, causing him to clench it and scream in pain. Juan enters behind you and looks behind the door.
You: "Yea, buddy boy! Like that? I'm back! Courtesy of the Don man himself!"
You fire another shot at the same area, hitting his hand. He yelps for God and collapses onto the floor.
You: "You lied to me. That Kenny bitch didn't have the money. Hell, I tore him open and he didn't have any inside of him either!"
Juan taps you on the shoulder. You jump.
You: "Yo! Don't do that!"
Juan Carlos: "We've got a problem, boss."
He points towards the other corner. There is a table, and under the table, a woman and a little girl.
- Smile
- Frown
- Laugh
- Get discouraged
You smile at them. You turn and smile at Raul as well, letting out a slight chuckle. You turn back towards the cowering femine duo.
You: "Well, well, well, look at we've got here, Raul. Let me guess, you hired some underage whore and this is her chaperone."
Raul: "Leave them alone! This is between me and the Don."
You: "It's between me now, too. I've had to do a lot of footwork because of your pointless shit and constant lies. Maybe I can extract some truth out of them."
Raul: "No..."
- Threaten him
- Taunt him
- Shoot him
You fire a shot, hitting Raul in the shin of his injured leg. He cries.
You: "Shut the fuck up! Every time you speak you only dig your hole that much deeper."
Still fixated on the Raul's wife and daughter, you take a step closer towards them.
You: "Hello, girls. Do you know what my friend Raul has been up to?"
Little girl: "Leave my daddy alone!"
You: "I'm afraid that's not an option. Tell me, how old are you, dear?"
Little girl: "I'm eight you stupid monster!"
The woman grasps the little girl's mouth and shushes her. You look over at Juan. He shakes his head.
Raul: "Stop! Please!"
- Continue
- Turn back to Raul
- Talk to Juan
You take another step closer and point your gun towards the little girl.
You: "Do you know what this is, little girl?"
She pulls the woman's hand off of her mouth.
Little girl: "It's a gun!"
You: "Wow, you know what a gun is? Is it healthy for a child such as yourself to know what a gun is? I do not know much about human culture, but if you know about violence, I believe that means you are mature enough to know about love."
You glance over at Juan, smiling. He gives you a confused look.
You: "Tell me honey, does your daddy love you?"
The little girl gives you an angry nod. The woman has tears in her eyes. You look over at Raul, he's still gasping on the floor, holding his leg with his good hand, while his damaged one is sprawled out parallel to his body. You turn back to the girl.
You: "Has your daddy every shown you how much he loves you?"
Juan Carlos: "Where are you going with this, boss?"
- Continue
- Talk to Juan
- Talk to Raul
- Talk to the woman
You: "Ha! This is a funny situation. Well, you see darling, when a man loves someone very much, he sometimes shows his affection in a... physical way. Has your daddy ever shown you love in a physical way?"
Woman: "No."
Raul: "Aughhhh! Stop!!"
Juan: "Conejo!"
Little girl: "... what?"
Woman: "Don't answer him!"
- Continue
- Talk to Raul
- Talk to Juan
- Talk to the woman
You turn towards Raul.
You: "Hey, you! You know where I'm going with this! Or do you? Ha ha! I suppose it doesn't matter."
Raul: "Look, you sick fuck! I'll give you whatever you want! I'll give you my life!"
You: "Your life? You've already given me yours and theirs!"
Raul: "Just listen to me!"
- Let Raul talk
- Demand he tells you where the money is
- Talk to Juan
- Tell the little girl to get up
You turn back towards the little girl, smiling.
You: "Stand up, kid."
Woman: "Stay down! Don't you dare touch her!"
You: "I just asked her to stand up. I was thinking of letting her go. You guys and your whining might have gotten to me."
The girl stands up, shaking.
- Let the girl leave
- Kill the woman
- Talk to Juan
You turn towards the woman.
You: "This will be good. Unfortunately, you won't get to enjoy the show."
In one quick motion, you shoot the woman, hitting her in the chest to the left of her heart. She falls backwards in agony. You fire two more shots at her chest, ending her life. Raul musters what strength he has and crawls over on the floor towards her. He holds his dead wife in his arms. His cries are a mixture of pain from his loss of love, and of the blood pouring from his own leg. The little girl shakes and sweats, unsure of what even happened. You look over at Juan again. His upper lip is quivering, but he retains his posture.
- Threaten Raul
- Talk to Juan
- Tell the girl to take off her clothes
You: "Save it for the funeral. You, kid! Take off your dress. Now! I've got one more bullet, and it could be for you!"
The girl obviously has no idea what is going on. Juan is still looking at Raul grieving over the body. Slowly, she removes her clothes until she is wearing nothing.
- Talk to Juan
- Walk over to her
- Tell her to go over to Raul
You laugh.
You: "You know, I really don't feel any kind of urge at all. Maybe it's because I'm a rabbit. Maybe it's because I'm half your age. Ha! Doesn't anyone else find this funny? Look, girl, walk over to your daddy. We're going to go over that love lesson."
Raul heard this. He looks up at his naked daughter. The look on his face is one of gastly horror as she walks over to him. Juan's fixation ends, and he looks over at the girl, then over at you.
Juan Carlos: "Wait. This ain't right boss. This ain't right at..."
You: "Shut the fuck up, you god damn spic! I'll determine what's right and what's wrong! Raul, take off your pants!"
Raul: "You sick fuck!"
- Talk to Juan
- Threaten Raul
- Shoot the girl
You bite your lip in anger. Blood flows down your throat and on your chin. You raise your pistol, and fire the gun. A bullet rips through the little girl's knee. Her cry sounds like death itself. Raul screams. You hand your pistol out towards Juan.
You: "Reload me."
Juan: "You're fuck up, conejo. I don't want any part of this."
You: "Oh, suddenly now you have morals? Cutting open some chick's intenstines, that's fine, but this is going too far. What is it, the age? The relationship? Fuck the age! Fuck the relationship! Now reload my god damn gun you god damn mexican nigger!"
Juan reluctantly accepts the gun, reloads, and hands it back to you. You point it back at the girl.
Raul: "Fine. Do it! End her misery! I won't do what your sick mind has planned."
- Kill Raul
- Kill the girl
- Talk to Juan
- Take care of the girl yourself
You: "Okay then, Mr. nice guy. If you won't do it, then I'll do it! I can get this baby up at any time. Isn't that right, sergeant woody? Hey, girl, get over here!"
The little girl, shaking almost to the point of seizure, slowly walks over to you.
- Continue
- Kill Raul
- Kill the girl
- Talk to Juan
When she gets near, you grab her by the throat and forcefully pull her until her body is rubbing up against yours. You wisper in her ear. Raul is screaming hysterically for you to stop, but you block him out. He's losing too much blood to move anyways.
You: "Hey, baby. How would you like to get fucked by the Easter Bunny?"
Juan Carlos: "I can't let you fucking do this! Drop it, conejo!"
- Continue
- Kill the girl
- Threaten Raul
- Kill Juan Carlos
Still holding her throat, you lower your gun between her legs, and then push it in. She yelps. Suddenly, you hear a gun shot. You look around frantically.
You: "What the fuck was that?"
You look over at Juan Carlos. He's shaking, sweating, breathing hard, and holding a smoking revolver. The revolver is pointing straight at you. You start to feel a slight ting. You drop your gun, the girl, and move your hand over your side. A warm liquid is flowing. You look down. You've been shot.
You: "Juan..."
Juan doesn't say a word. He clenches his teeth and fires another shot. It hits you in the shoulder. You gasp, and strangely feel nothing. Time slows down. Sound becomes hollow. Your vision becomes a tunnel. A shot is heard in the distance. You feel your chest jerk back. Breathing is harder now. Everything is dark. You look around. Raul is curled up in the corner, almost dead. The girl is on the floor, hands over her eyes and crying. Juan Carlos is looking straight at you, with the fury of a thousand hells in his eyes. His revolver is laughing at you.
Another shot, and then another. And another. And another. And then, strangely enough, a series of clicks. You see Juan standing there firing blanks. You try to laugh, but you can't. It feels as if you are no longer in your body. Your vision darkens. Then, a flash of light. You see a man in a suit. He looks familiar, but you don't remember seeing him before. You're in some kind of an office. Now, you're in some alley. What city is this? There's a man in a distance. He's closing in fast. You're in Santa Rosalía. The cool sea breeze is brushing through the fur on your back. Things get dark. You're in a room. You're looking down at the ruins of Tikal from the sky. You see Yvonne, she's smiling. You see Tex, he's drinking. He looks over at you and laughs. Everything is fantastic here. You're on an island. You see a volcano in the distance Is this Hawaii? No, you've never been.
You're at a party. There's a woman there. It looks like Yvonne. She's waving at you. Everyone is excited. People are talking, laughing, and having a good time. There's a drunk man in the corner that you know, but you cannot think of his name. Everyone is dressed so nice. Yvonne calls your name. You're name? You can't make out what name she's calling, but you know it's yours. A man stops you and shakes your hand.
But you're not at a party. You're in a basement, in a rural region of Honduras. A cold, dark basement with a corpse, a naked girl, a dying man, and Juan Carlos. The adventuring Juan Carlos whom you met long ago. Light is peering through the top of the stair way. It will be dark soon. The next sunrise will not be for you to see.
What about Juan? He was a good guy, just a little confused. Or maybe he was a rat bastard. It doesn't seem to matter now. He'll probably leave Raul for dead and take the girl to some orphanage. Maybe he'll adopt her and take her on adventures across Central America. They could travel to South America too. Maybe they'll go to Europe.
Or maybe they'll end up like you.
You have died.
Game over.
That's evil.
Okay, it's been unstickied.Chefe said:Someone un-sticky this. It's a disappointment. There was a lot of great potential but I am a fraud. No need to further decline the RPG industry by showing that this will never see the light of day.
Hard Knox said:Chefe said:Awesomeness
You are the most disgusting creep ever.

poocolator said:It's a pity this is being scrapped. It would have been a nice experiment to contrast the drivel already out there, developed by shit companies like Bethesduh.

Thats the only way this will work. More like an adventure game where you're plonked into "situations" that you have to "resolve".
The freedom of choice will lie in the order in which you resolve them (meh) and a few predefined outcomes for each situation depending on your dialogue choices.
In the end you can have a voiceover going "Rabbitland was drained due to your decision to not repair their waterchip. Hamster Hills thrived because you used DDT to eliminate all the mosquitoes. And Pedro from the Chloroform City... Pedro got married to the real doll you bought for him."
Chefe said:It would have to be unbelievably simple programming wise, though.
