Convictions: Honestly (Night 1-B)

Near all of the games at Trentstorm Arcade were now vacant as a massive crowd of players cheered. The stomping of a hoof accompanied the endlessly chant of “Go! Go! Go!” as Phil had his tongue sticking out of his mouth. Rapidly tapping buttons and wildly tilting to the side as though he was actually dodging. Things went silence as it was getting close. Phil stood tall no longer dodging, and rapid fired into the final boss. You could hear a pin drop as the timer drove itself down to 0 before announcing Phil had the new high-score by 452 points.


“Yeah!” Phil held up his toy guns high into the air as the crowd cheered. His victory and a brief hug his last memory of that night.

A voice in his head introduce The Laboratory that night. Despite a couple new tricks the first maze seemed simple, and Phil found himself among a crowd of humanoids on a place referred to as a Crossing. A feminine silhouette standing in attention at a large gate.

“You made it.” the silhouette in front him commented. “Well done.” Phil recognized the voice. It was the same person who first noticed he was new. “These nightmares...they just keep coming...until…” Both him and Phil what he was about to say, so Phil moved on. Not wanting to hear about the zombies they might become. As Phil walked around and talked to the others, while no one seemed recognizable to him a group of shadows was discussing something called “chain power” and how every person had a chain wrapped around one limb, and that seemed to indicate the kind of power it had. Finally he approached the silhouette lady.

“Hmm? Ready for the next stage, already?” the shadow without a mouth questioned.

“Does that matter?” Phil asked in turn.

“It’s just most tend to stay the night.” She answered. “If you wish to continue, that’s fine. But I am required to warn you. This maze is only two stages, so you’ll have to face “the big one” should you continue.”

Well, Phil continued. Running from a giant hammer as broke several parts of the floor even some areas in front of him. Eventually he got to end, and woke up having walked through the end gate. “Ugh…” Phil held his hand to head as he got up. “I feel like...I'm forgetting something. Wha?” Phil stared at Dark Mystic girl on his couch fairly close to his bed. “....Sophia is gonna kill me…”

“Mm?.. Why would I kill you?” She said as she awoke.

“Wha-what?” Phil looked at her confused.

“You said Sofia is gonna kill you.” Sofia tilted her head still half asleep “didn’t you?”

“Your name’s?” Phil eyes went wide.

Sofia holds up a stuffed panda bear. “Yeah I have the same name as your girlfriend, so I named this little guy Philip since you won him ‘member? You insisted on beating your own high score. And you told me under no circumstances are we sleeping together, before you did your one drink. And well, your place is way closer to Trentstorm. So I kept my word, and crashed on the couch.” Sofia yawned.

Phil just groaned. “How am I gonna explain this?”

“Explain what?!” Sofia seemed offended now as she pouted. “We didn’t do anything. One other girl, slept on your couch, one time. Is that such a big deal now? Little Phil doesn’t think so, do you?” holding the panda bear up to her face.

“Please don’t call him that.” Phil stated.

“Seriously? You had a little fun last night, but nothing happened. Cub’s honor or whatever it is” Sofia, for her part, seemed honest. And it’s not often Mystic give their word. Let alone twice in the same day. “You really think you need to mention this. I can be gone in 10 minutes, and no one would ever know.”
