The only target that matters. Get the gun's laser pointer in his eyes so that it is damaged enough for him to do poorly at DDR. You get one eye, the little guy can get the other.
>>982114 >>982115 >>982117 >>982122 haha, yeah! shoot them blobs!
rolled 77, 64, 41, 66, 30, 20, 3, 49, 41, 72 + 500 = 963
You get 963 points from this round, woohoo! that'll surely be a lot of tickets. >>982141 Oh, but what's this? seems like you have one bullet left. a brilliant idea comes to you. If you shoot the lich with the lightgun in the past, you can prevent him from ever completing ddr2, and the denizens of this arcade will never have been trapped! You close your eyes. You focus intently on your desired goal. You want to shoot. Shoot the lich. Shoot the past. You peer into your minds eye. You can see it all now.
This is the world in which Exppextaceon the fleet-footed lich never achieved 10528 points in Dance Dance Retribution 2. Having never developed an addiction to the game, Exppextaceon never trapped the denizens of the arcade, and devoted his time to actually evil deeds. There is no longer an arcade to be trapped in, but the landscape is a desolate wasteland.
The cities are in flames. The lich's beasts wander the streets looking for survivors to prey on.
You see the lich on his throne. He uses his lich magic to see all and corrupt the minds of his enemies. You would be but a bug, so far beneath him he would pay you no heed as you complete your journey, if you stay out of his way. Do you pull the trigger?
Ok, uh, I'm gonna say don't pull the trigger.
On second thought, lets not shoot Exppextaceon. He might destroy the 7-11, and no 7-11 = no Slurpee
I think we'd better not shoot the lich
Yeah I think we're fine with the timeline as it is.
>>982463 Shoot him! We can get the slurpee in peace.
>>982464 >>982466 >>982468 holy crap, this timeline looks dark as heck. You definitely change your mind about pulling the trigger. You aim at something on the screen instead.
... You can't pull the trigger. You're still looking through your mind's eye! "uh... hey, you alright? Pull the trigger already." You try to pull the trigger. You can't. You try to speak. You can't. You try to move at all. You can't. You feel as if a powerful force is watching you, and you're rooted to the spot in fear.
... "Who is this creature?" ...
"Bobby Slurpps, Your lichdom." "He is not of our time?" "No, Your Greatness."
"Bring him to me."
You feel something pulling at you through your mind's eye. You can feel as if you are slipping right of your own body and into a bottomless pit. In just a few seconds you'll have been dragged through the threshold.
Close your mind's eye, cut the connection!
Blind your minds eye with the lightgun! DO IT NOW!
>You try to pull the trigger. You can't. >You try to speak. You can't. >You try to move at all. You can't. Guess we'll die then. Actually, idea: think as hard as you can about a slurpee to combat that fear, then if you can talk again, tell the little guy to shoot your mind's eye as quick as he can! ... But how did those guys know our name? the only person we told our name to was... the bus driver. damn it. I wonder if he betrayed you because we lost his bike to some hooligans, and failed to report his stolen bike.
>>982492 stolen bus, not stolen bike.
I knew we should have shot him. Clog the vortex with the little dude!
note: the gun has no bullets left so you'll have to shoot off the screen to reload.
>>982492 You put all of your willpower to muster out a single sentence. Shoot... The... Minds... Eye! The kid looks at you confused for a moment, but then it clicks. "You fool! You tried to shoot the past, didn't you?! Did you really think you were the first to try this??". The kid takes aim, and blinds your minds eye.
You fall over, losing consciousness. "H-hey! Hey wait, wake up!"
... Curses! Wizards, what happened? They shut his minds eye, sir. The portal was interrupted. Get it open. Yes sir. Right away, your lichdom. ...
... ... ...
You are a little gnome boy. You have been stuck in this arcade for 2 weeks now. The man that played the lightgun game with you is lying on the floor unconscious. "Oh mannnnn,, this is baaaddd"
>>982513 Check the first aid kit for a defibrillator. If you attach it to his temples, it should wake him up.
>>982513 Draw on his face.
>>982515 this is critical
Find his shadow. He might know what to do. You might want to give his shadow some of this man's quarters as well.
>>982513 Definitely check the first aid kit for something to help
>>982515 >>982516
You root around in the mans pockets for some stuff. You find $5 and 6 quarters, as well as a first aid kit and 1092 tickets.
You open up the first aid. It looks like pretty standard stuff, aside from a giant syringe sitting on top of everything.
It is big and large and red and labeled only with "CAUTION: EMERGENCY USE ONLY"
Before you take any action, you decide to look around for anything that can help. Eventually you stumble upon a person that looks exactly like the unconscious guy. maybe they're related? the man mutters to himself ,"ugh i don't feel so good... something feels wrong."
>>982625 Tell him a guy that looks like him passed out after trying to shoot the past.
Maybe the shadow man could use the syringe if he's feeling sick? Ask him if he knows the man who fell unconscious.
See if the shadow will stand in the appropriate shadow position in relation to your new pal's carcass and see if that helps.
Mimic the exact same pose this shadow is making. Pretend that this shadow is your shadow
>>982653 You sit in the same position as the shadow man.
"H-hey wait, what hold on what are you doing?"
"Sigh... Well i'm not mad or anything, I was just hoping could get back together with my original host some time. But, I guess i'm your shadow now kid. I can offer helpful advice and reach tall shelves I guess" "oh, haha. I guess I wasnt thinking haha sorry" "Oh, at least i'm feeling slightly better now"
cool. New friend. tell him that you cant wait to play shadow puppets with him someday. Take your new shadow to your unconscious player 2, and ask what your new shadow has in his shadow first aid kit that may help. Also recall where your old shadow went awhile ago.
Does shadow have a mind's eye too? If so, warn him to keep it closed.
Go check on your original friend and see if shadow can help at all.
