[ SO.

Who here is awake at 2am in the morning.... sources say that Inaba is. ]

I don't know how many of you guys are up at this late hour, but let's just say Iris cycle kind of keeps me up sometimes and a good distraction is absolutely necessary for a bit.

Therefore!

I will provide some classic late night text entertainment in the form of two separate games:

1) If you are Japanese and would prefer to play some shiritori for me for a challenge, I'm here for it.

OR

2) You can do a 'text adventure' story with me, custom made, on the spot. Just give me a basic genre or concept and I'll think of something quick for you. I need to keep up with my writing skills, after all.

So tl;dr: pick your poison, it's late.

I don't mind playing shiritori, but what keeps you up about Iris?

[dereban]

Alright.

I'll start with the usual 'shiritori' as my first word, then.

[dereban]

Short answer is TMI.

Also known as: none of your business.

[despairing_hope]

Fine, fine. You were the one that mentioned it.

[He had no clue about the implications.]

[dereban]

Unfortunately, there weren't any flasks in the room to begin with. Or any other person, for that matter. Perhaps you were just simply imagining it? After all, when you're in a cabin in the middle of the woods, it's kind of difficult to find.

But that's strange, isn't it?

Why are you here?

Perhaps that's just something that you just need to find out by looking around.

[dereban]

Just because I mentioned it doesn't mean that I have to go into detail about it.

How about you start, then?

Iris can be very

it's hard.

I'm not japanese, so maybe an adventure? Um... something with puzzles?

[despairing_hope]

No one said you had to, but if it's mentioned, it's normal to be curious about it. Like, if it's because of strange ears or tails. I don't really know a lot about this stuff yet.

[Ren was normally one that would absolutely be asleep at this time of the night, but there are things going on that's got him unable to rest like he usually would.

A game to challenge his brain sounds nice, though.]

I may need some instructions, but the adventure sounds fun.

I've been here for seven months, I am very aware of how difficult Iris can get. But with puzzles, huh? Yeah, I can come up with something:

You find yourself in a large city; it's not as flashy or advanced as this one, but there's something about all of it that seems rather 'modern', to say the least. It's filled to the brim with plenty of technology - computers, televisions, radios and the like.

But you're running away.

Something is chasing after you.

Even if you're aware fo the reasons why, those don't matter right now. But if you stop now, you'll wind up in trouble. No time to think.

You split paths -- there's a path that leads you further into the city, where you might possibly be able to blend in with the rest of the crowd. Maybe whatever or whoever's chasign you will stop. And as for the other path? It leads outside the city. To the forests.

What do you do?

[dereban]

Oh, we're going with the English iteration? I can work with that too, I suppose.

'valor'.

[dereban]

Instructions are pretty simple for text adventures: I make up a scenario on the fly, and you basically say what you want to do and I'll respond to your action and we keep going back and forth like that.

"Curiosity killed the cat".

So you're new?

[wildsorcery]

yeah I was trying to say I understand. I'm an Iris too.

Um, hard question... I would run into the woods, I think. It seems i could lose them in there, and nobody else would get hurt.

[champagnetower]

Okay!✰

About a month. It really is a lot to get used to suddenly!

[ Ophilia might not be Japanese, but she’s never lost a game to date. She’s especially good at the ones she knows nothing about! ]

Shiritori sounds delightful. But I haven’t the slightest clue how as to how I would play!

Could you perhaps teach me?

text;

[dereban]

Kind of hard to teach someone since normally shiritori is completely based off of the Japanese language and knowing words from it.

[dereban]

'Kimono.'

Is taiyaki your favorite food?

[dereban]

I'm not bringing back a cat who gets satisfied off of weird things.

It is definitely a lot, though, that's true.
