TINY CAT PEOPLE: THE MAZE TRIALS

[skinstealer]

 

You calm down slightly at Todd’s tone...you don’t want to admit that the idea of having to do this yourself has crossed your mind, but the fact that the...gamers? Seem to take this seriously shows that it wasn’t an easy decision.

SEE: Oh...I’m really sorry you had to go through that.
SEE: I think I can understand...I’ve met a couple of people so far that could be dangerous, but I’m not sure yet.
SEE: Have you guys been here long?
ROXAS: We’ve been here for uh, like a week, week and a half? Something like that I guess.
SAMSON: It’s been nine days, Roxas you can just check your phone if you don’t remember the date.
ROXAS: Oh yeah.
TODD: How long have you been here, See? 
SEE: Uh....less than a day.
SEE: 16 hours, I think the overseers said?
 

You see Todd, Cayden, and Roxas glance at each other before nodding quickly. All three of them loudly burst into song wishing you a... happy birthday? Before they get very far into it, Samson interrupts them.

 
SAMSON: Stop, stop! It’s probably not even the right day.
SEE: ...thank you????
SAMSON: We should probably all check out what the deal is with this chamber, you can multitask, right? Walk and talk?
SEE: Yeah, that's cool.
 

 

You start walking with the gamers, keeping an eye on them as you do.

 
SEE: So... you have phones?
SEE: I got a computer!
SEE: It's got, uh, a game on it?
SEE: Is that something that gamers like you are into?
 

Samson scoffs.

 
SAMSON: Depends on the game. We're not casual gamers here.
ROXAS: I am!
TODD: Shhh! Stop admitting weakness to people we just met!
SEE: I don't really know the difference between casual games and, uh, non-casual ones?
SEE: I just have pinball.
SEE: I don't think I'm amazing at it yet, but it's pretty good.
TODD: Not amazing at it yet huh? Let me give you a gift.
 

  

Todd puts his hand on your head, and suddenly you feel the knowledge of gaming flow into you. It's similar to the feeling you get when you read a skill paper. Suzanne did the same thing, back in the first chamber, now that you think of it.

 
SEE: Oh...thanks!
SEE: There is- there is a lot of stuff to this, actually. 
SAMSON: Yeah, it takes a lot of work to be real gamers like us.
ROXAS: Or you can just be chill about it like me, really.
 

You've gotta think about your approach here. There's so many options for gaming and being a true gamer...

 
SEE: I'll think on it.
 

Before you manage to get down all the steps (they're a bit big for you, unfortunately), you pause and make sure to ask something important.

 
SEE: Have any of you met TCPs named Max or Monroe? 
SAMSON: We've never met a Monroe, no. We met Max though, he's...
SAMSON: The goal of uniting everyone is good, but he's a bit full of himself I think.
TODD: We'll probably help some, but we don't like how he's made sure to make himself the leader of the group, I guess.
ROXAS: I think he's alright, personally.
