the phone rang.
a man in a chair picked it up.

“Hello?..speaking…a unit…found dead?
sigh… troublesome. if this is related to-
…what?! Alive?! you foul, loathsome protozoan, you…
…do it yourself! and get it done. done properly, now.”

the man on the phone hung up.
“i thought we re-wrote that little syntax error
ourselves…when he met that hau-wearing idiot…”
he leaned back in his chair.
he opened a can of something, and drank the contents.
meanwhile, zork was exploring the world he had woken up
in…

The land Zork was in was filthy.
A seemingly endless wasteland of
rubbish. Was he really something that belonged here?
The hose creature had mentioned expecting a su-toa…
If only He could remember what that meant…
RUSTLERUSTLERUSTLE
he looked around, readying himself for another fight.
A skinny man wearing a blue komau slithered out
of a mountain of bin bags.
“Relax. My name is Menduce. I’m a…Friend…”
Zork looked at this strange man. suspiciously.
“You have rather a lot of…knives.”
“Yeah, well i’ve had them for so long…
you could say they’re…a part of me.”
Menduce replied.
"er…Mr. Menduce, could you please tell me where i am?
Zork asked. “The trash zone. stuff that should be trashed goes here.
a lot of stuff here used to be at the top…the people helpin’ them get to the top…but even when victory seems certain…everythin’ can change…”
Menduce stared into space with an expression of sadness.
“Stick with me, kid. i’ll learn ya to keep yourself safe in this world.”
Zork considered this for a moment. Menduce did seem friendly.
He could use a friend. He could also use fighting training.
“I’ll stick with you.” he said.
“heh…poor kid…” menduce muttered under his breath.

Menduce and Zork wandered through the
rubbish. “Where are we going?” Zork asked.
“You’ll see soon enough.” Menduce replied.
As they wandered, the surrounding bin bags
seemed to mesh together in a disgusting
mega bin bag. The same sights over and over
again…Zork was practically sleepwalking now…
30 minutes later…

“Well, here we are.”
Menduce showed Zork to
a small hut. “it’s got two beds, don’t worry about that.”
Menduce said. “But i wasn’t-” Zork started.
“Whoops, forgot you weren’t-… Never mind.”
Zork had many questions.
“Who did you forget i wasn’t?”
Zork asked.
“It’s a long story. but seeing as we got the time…”
Menduce began his tale…
“Once, there were those who shone in silver…”

Menduce began:
"Those who shone in silver protected us,
carrying out the will of the great spirit.
They were heroes…At least for a while.
“it all started when-”

“how long is this story?”
Zork interrupted.

“Shut yer pie hole and you’ll find out!”
Menduce said.
"Now, where was i…
Yeah, they went and
did good stuff, until
the guy at the top of those
who shone in silver decided
the people weren’t worth saving.
And so they left us.
And they never came back.
Some remained loyal, and
believed they would return someday.
Some grew angry, and vowed to destroy
them if they ever dared show their faces again…

“The four main members were:
Dhampyr, the flying king,
Lestyr, the games master,
Croulus, the paladin,
and Linkworm, the tactician.
as time passed, each one of them
changed, for better or worse.
Some changed into terrible
beasts, and others changed into
enormous guardians.
It was rumored that some
of them had left to
conquer lands, or
live isolated from everyone
else.”

A voice interrupted.
“WRONG, my good man.
all all all wrong.”

Menduce and Zork’s heads whipped
round to see who was talking.
A strange man was standing there.
“Who the karzanhi are you?!”
Menduce asked.
Oho, i am Rupyyn,
the most excellent master
o’ power beyond mortal reckoning, so much
so that i bedazzle all who look upon me,
as i am such an extremely powerful being.
you hath been telling the story wrong,
old blue man who’s name i don’t know and
would not care to know for it probably has but 0 syllables,
due to how ignorant people like you are.”

“What?” Zork asked.
Oho You are such an ignoramus to the point
where you understand not english?
well, Protozoan, i shall best ye in
a battle of such incredible might that you have no choice but
to disintegrate into a pile of radishes.
oho.

“Hang on, you can’t just interrupt a story with a battle!”
Zork said.

Oho, well just watch me do exactly that!”
NOTE: please listen to any boss music while reading
this.

Rupyyn sliced out with his sword!
Zork took 5 damage!
Menduce threw a knife at Rupynn!
Rupyyn took 0 damage, because he
was in creative mode!
oho, now that i have a most unfair advantage,
ye shall fall!”
Menduce pointed out that cheats
weren’t allowed in this world!
Rupynn took 10 damage from the knife!
"Ohow. most excruciating."
Rupynn was knocked down!
“Heh, ‘extreme powers.’
As if!”
Menduce mocked.
Oho, you miserable punctuation
dumpheap!”
Rupynn threw his sword!
It hit Menduce!
50 damage!
“oh *5$£2@!”
Menduce cursed.
Oho, thou art now banned
for swearing on the server!”
Menduce had to leave the battle!
Oho, boy, i am a blessing in disguise.
i am here to rescue you from the clutches of the foul old man,
for he plans to stab you!”
“Don’t believe him boyo!
He’s nothing but a troll!
And a liar!”

NOW.
YOU CHOOSE.
what happens.
Does Zork stick with Menduce,
or trust Rupynn?
