Testrunning for Voice, mostly.

1.) *There's major stuff going on right now, but it's pretty obvious at this point there are certain people who are at the center of it, and you and this guy are more at the periphery. All you can really do is wait for a conclusion. Still.*

Hey, cheer up! I'm sure they'll do fine. I know it's a little unsatisfying, but sometimes you just have to play the part of the NPC. Er, that's "non-player character." Sorry, I keep forgetting I'm talking to real people, not game sprites.

2.)

*You have all been assigned an epic quest! Go slay the demon lord! ...aaaaaand that's about all you get.*

Great. He could've at least explained where the guy is, or what our motivations are, or... This is another poorly written quest, I can just feel it.

3.)

*Something's just happened that's pretty dramatic in your life, and this dumbass is about to put his foot in his mouth in three... two... one...*

Well hey, at least you still have your health, right? Hahaha!

4.)

Man, how long is this battle going to go? Feels like it's been going on forever. Well, at least the bad guy seems to have finally gotten knocked dow -- wait, no, he's getting up again.

How much more can this guy TAKE?! Even WITHOUT hit points, this is getting ridiculous!

Why, back in my day, a monster had the decency to know when it was good and whipped! None of this secret true forms nonsense, just good honest fighting. What's the world coming to?

[Said while he's going through the dragon's hoard as Alex fights it.]

[camewiththeruntimepackage]

YOU'RE NOT EVEN FIGHTING!

[kamas]

Don't have to, when there're spirited youngsters like you to do the heavy lifting!

[camewiththeruntimepackage]

You could at least try to make the heavy lifting a little less heavy! I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm not exactly hacking it here!

[kamas]

That's because you have no idea how to fight a dragon. Go for the legs and wings! Incapacitate before you move in!

[camewiththeruntimepackage]

Of COURSE I don't know how to fight a dragon! I usually only fight through menuWAAAAAAAAAGH!

*And now he's running like hell from dragon flames.*

[kamas]

Well, okay, you're doing this part perfectly!

[camewiththeruntimepackage]

SO WHEN AM I SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO THE OTHER PARTS?!

1/2

[kamas]

Keep at it, lad! He'll run out of fire eventually!

2/2

[kamas]

Unless he's a greenbelly. Hear they can keep on breathin' for days.

[Silly Alex. The Crawling Chaos does not let itself be defeated so easily.]

Oh, come now. Where would the fun be if I went away just because I lost a battle to the death...

... Or rather, billions of them?

[camewiththeruntimepackage]

Oh come on! The Demon Lord loses his battles all the time, and at least he knows when to take a dive so the game ends for the player!

[crawl_into_my_chaos]

But why would I want the game to end? Where's the fun to be found in something that doesn't last forever and ever?

[camewiththeruntimepackage]

Games aren't SUPPOSED to last forever and ever! The player wins, the game ends, and they play it again if they want! If you keep dragging out a battle forever, it just gets frustrating!

[crawl_into_my_chaos]

Obviously you've never played an MMO.

[camewiththeruntimepackage]

Trust me, if you've ever seen someone try to make an MMO in RPG Maker, you'd be thankful for that.
