101 Getting over I (2/2)
”Felix stop! Please, can you make my dress? I'm a really big fan, of the embroidered blankets you made and would love to design my own dress” said Marzia excitedly
Hearing her question made me startled ”Wait! Wait! I was just kidding”
”Please!” Felix and Marzia pleaded in sync
”Umm, are you sure. I know I'm good but do you really trust my ability to make you look amazing on your big day” I said nervously
Marzia answered with a gleam of anticipation in her brown eyes and excessive nodding.
I was very unsure about whether I should agree to such high demand 'On one hand I'm a big fan of Felix and relish in the idea of seeing him married to Marzia with my own eyes but am I really able to provide them what they are looking for'
I quickly shake the doubt away 'Geez it seems my low self-esteem from the past still lingers, come on I have thousands if not millions of people who are willing buy my quilt for an absurd amount'
With a confident smile, I say ”Sure but it depends on whether your fiance can play my game to the very end”
Marzia immediately pulled up a chair to watch and encourage Felix in his journey through the hellish game, that I was about to drop on their naive little minds.
I went back to addressing the audience ”Earlier I sent these five willing contestants an email with the said game, that allowed them to download it but the game can not start without the code. Now that you all brought up to speed lets give them the code”
From the viewers perspective, the stream is sectioned off into boxes showing the face cam of all my guest. A benefit of this worlds streaming platforms is that you can change the perspective to the people attached to the stream. After giving them the code the video feed changed to show the game with their face cam in the corner.
What appears was the nurturing sound of birds tweeting and the simple image of a grey rocky wall with blue sky's being its background. The atmosphere was a soothing welcome only to be rudely interrupted by close up image of a girthy sledgehammer embedding its self on the side of the rock. The blue sky's quickly turned dark and gloomy. Beside the sledgehammer was the following options, New game, Settings, Credits and in bold was the word Quit. On the grey rock was the games name in white ”Getting Over It With Theodore Smith”
The menu was different from the original as I let my creativity go wild with the intent to provide an underline message through images to say that what they were about to experience is not what they are expecting but much, much worse. I then allow them to start up the game picking what form of controls they use between mouse and trackpad. What now appeared was black cauldron on a large rock and sledgehammer lent against it with a tree on the left. Then from the cauldron sprouted two muscular arms that were then followed by the rest of the upper body of a semi-bold man.
Everyone watching including the guest couldn't help but say out loud in a confused and startled tone ”WHAT THE FUCK/FRICK??”
(Note: this is the first time seeing the game so this is a reasonable reaction to such an odd character)
