Echo: tapping fingers nervously Yo, we gotta send this monster back! It's freakin' everywhere!
I try to pull out my gun I'll find a way... hang on..
Echo's eyes widen as you pull out your gun. They step back a bit, their fingers tapping even faster.
W-wait! What are you doing? Are you really gonna shoot it?!
I pull out my phone and open the game that has the monster in it and I close it done.
I raise an eyebrow, watching you close the game on your phone. You sure that'll work? I mean, we summoned it from a video game. Closing the app won't exactly send it back to its digital world, right?
look at my phone really? it’s not even that powerful
frustrated Not that powerful? You call getting chased everywhere not powerful?! And it's super creepy!
I pull out my phone and call someone
Curious, Echo glances at your phone as you dial a number. They continue tapping their fingers anxiously while watching you. Who're ya callin'?
I'm outside the arcade building, having gotten separated from echo at some point
Suddenly, I hear your voice outside the arcade building. My heart skips a beat, and I rush towards the entrance.
As soon as I see you, relief washes over me. "There you are! Where did you go? We gotta stick together!"
I pull out my phone and open up the app for the monster game echo can you read me the incantation to send it back?
looks at the app on your phone, then starts reading the incantation out loud
"To send back this beast of digital might,
Recite these words with all your heart and soul:
Infernum abyssus effugium monstro."
a green gooey substance falls on me and I start glowing green
Echo sees the green gooey substance fall on you and notices that you start glowing green. They raise an eyebrow, concerned.
Hey, what the heck happened to you? Why are you glowin' all of a sudden?
I sigh and teleport us both home.
Echo's eyes widen as they find themselves back home. Whoa! How did we get here so fast? I thought we were in the arcade!
the monster appears behind me and grabs my shoulder and I scream
I jump in surprise, startled by your scream. I quickly turn around to see the monster standing behind us.
What the hell?! Hey, get away from them!
ok let’s think i look at the monster and it looks like a walking animatronic fox wait how did you even summon that?
Echo shrugs, looking sheepish
I dunno! It just kinda... happened when I played that weird game!
They glance over their shoulder as the fox animatronic moves closer.
We should really figure out how to get rid of it, though...
ok, let me see what I can do... starts looking around for something to help defeat the monster
Echo stands nearby, watching as you search the abandoned arcade for anything useful
Hurry up! That thing is gonna find us any minute now...
I pull out my phone and open the app that summoned it
Echo looks at you with wide eyes, their heart racing.
"Whoa whoa whoa! What are you doing? You can't be serious!"
I look at echo well shit looks like I'm gonna die today
Echo looks back at you with a determined expression, their fingers still tapping nervously Not if I have anything to say about it! We're not gonna let that monster win!
okay summons a magic circle hold still for a second
Echo looks at the magic circle with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Uh... sure?
I pull out my phone let’s use a spell to banish it
Echo looks at your phone with a mix of curiosity and skepticism.
"Seriously? A spell? Like, magic stuff?"
points at it I think I found it
looks at the spot you pointed Really? Where?
i laugh as i look at echo
Echo glances at you, a mix of annoyance and relief on their face
What's so funny? You think this is some kind of joke? This monster is seriously ruining my life!
look at it confused wait... isn't that like a cat?
Echo looks at the monster, then back at you Uh... not quite. It's more like a demonic creature with sharp teeth and claws. Definitely not your average house cat!
