Whoa, every options were chosen, including the option to kick the bucket, yet only one vote made the difference. Honestly, I no longer feel the guilt to put worrying and regrettable options like these.

... But for real though. While references may exist, there won't be any self-insert here. Now you can't indict me with a villainous role, hehehe. Anyway, time to conclude the choices. Vote Tally: 1. Stay calm and don't move! - 1 Vote > 2. Quickly move away from the light! Crawl if you need to! - 2 Votes 3. Go back inside the grotto and return the orb back! - 1 Vote 4. Send out Cuddles to Bounce away! - 1 Vote 5. Eat the Casteliacone in panic! - 1 Vote (Your plan has failed!)

What purpose could it serve? Deaths: 1 Chapter 13: Elevated Location: Shanama Town -> ??? While you try to hang on, the tremor only becomes stronger as time goes too. Several trees start to unearth their roots, falling to the side of the clearing, causing a loud thump that would've crushed anything that would be hit. There's no room for doubt, you have to move! But to where? You try to survey your surroundings, but the blinding light hinders your sight. The only probable course of action would be to move away from the light, so you close your eyes, crawl through the snow forward until you bump yourself on a tree trunk. Ouch! But hey, you manage to regain your vision, and the tremor seems to have stopped! ...Until you feel a downward gravitational pressure pinning you down still! It seems things hasn't quieted yet, even more worryingly when you notice what was previously a path became the edge of a fissure. You peer downwards, but immediately tug yourself backwards, afraid to look twice. While it's apparent that you're sitting on a flying part of Raoga, you have the slightest idea of how this can happen. You rest yourself free, facing toward the skies thinking that there might be answers behind these cause. Somehow, clouds look bigger this way and you have one coming straight to you. That's weird, for it to land on your hand, you can feel how damp and cold the clouds can be. An exhilarating experience anyone would crave for! But truthfully, they're no different than the snow you're used to walk on. To the point where the ground makes a jump, it ceased to move any further, making it possible to stand steadily. The winds are oddly calm, enabling you to hear a tapestry of confused voices from local townspeople just ahead. As there isn't anything particularly eye-catching within your surroundings, you decide to return to the town. As you move, you start to get hungry. What should you do?

Who needs apples when we have ice cream? #3, for sure! By this point, I have no shame anymore, haha.
As for the nickname... gah! Hairy Arachnid Nanoscopic is tempting, but I'll probably stick with Cuddles 2.0 for now. It's possible that I might change my mind later, though! Quote:
However, there's still another mystery to be answered. In the first iteration of Choice Quest, there was a suspicious character—a Sandshrew, to be specific—who was operating an ice cream machine. (You can click here to see what I'm talking about.) Considering this takes place in the same world as Choice Quest 1, I'm wondering if that Sandshrew has any connection to the ice cream vendor who gave us those Casteliacones. There's still a lot of evil lurking around, it seems! :o |
1c. I can't eat apples and casteliacones are not my type. Han sounds like a nice name for Houndoom.
|
3a. I wonder how that Casteliacone tastes? Also, Hellfire is a fitting name for a Houndoom.
|
Wow, I only just noticed the Casteliacone is listed as a key item. Maybe we shouldn't waste it just yet. Going with 1a.
|
3. Eating it sounds like a plan
d. Helga, for Houndoom's name. It's pretty funny, the name Helga, like the unibrow girl from Hey Arnold, on a fierce powerful hellhound like Houndoom |
3c. I'm sorry, I can't resist this time! And Hairy Arachnid Nanoscopic is too much fun, so I'll go with that. :D

Quote:
I promise it was only supposed to be a joke, Lycan! xD Also, if that name does win the vote, can we please address him on a full-name basis? ;) |

The Houndoom, haha. =p |
2. We don't have any denarii, and thus cannot get ourselves even a measily crackers package,
besides picking up an apple shouldn't take away much time... We could have the castelia cone back at the town's center, thus the poisoning wouldn't bother us much but again, that would be a good way to earn sermons from the center's nurse/lady and possibly other people... Let's analyze the nicknames... Hellfire That sounds... boring and mispropitiatory... even if it's probably the most fitting, since he and all the houndour almost roasted us (also, accordingly to a dex entry pain from a houndoom's burn never fades... but that's just a dex entry). Cuddles Already taken, our new fellow deserves an identity of his own (even if he led a pack of houndour against us). Hairy Arachnid Nanoscopic He does, have a coat, justifying the hairy part, but he's rather large and... okay, what's the arachnid part for again? However, han might be fitting... well, in Chinese anyway, since it means corageous, brave or violent. Helga That's a chapette's name -.-""... oh, and Helga is a variant of Helge, now THAT is a name for chaps, problem is, it comes from heilagr, aka holy, blessed... and he almost blessed us with the flames of his associate houndour, didn't he? Still, am I late for the wall of nomenclature proposals? Spoiler:
By the way, why in the world do we get XX names for pokémon that are XY? :deepthonk: |
Hmm, I wonder if the Sandshrew will be there at all. Or...could it be that? We'll find that out later, maybe after 'Hairy Arachnid Nanoscopic' gets a lot of mentions more than Cuddles could get.
And surely, I'm not surprised that the 'kick the bucket' choice is almost always effective to throw away other boring options, lmao. Also, you should've suggested before I choose the nicknames, and ambiguous names for the win. Anyway, here we go. As you move, you start to get hungry. What should you do?

It glows a radiant purple hue. https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/ae/Bag_Lustrous_Orb_Sprite.png Mysterious Orb A translucent sphere found inside the grotto near Shanama Town. What purpose could it serve? Deaths: 1 Chapter 14: "Why not?" Location: ??? The sudden temptation simply beckons you to satisfy hunger. Anything goes, as long as it's edible! And the closest thing you can have for a temporary feast is the Casteliacone itself. You recall Cuddles warning you to not eat any of these anymore, thinking that it's clearly dangerous to consume and thus shouldn't be eaten for your safety. How thoughtful! But what's the point of keeping a melting ice cream? And since Cuddles isn't nearby to see, a bite surely won't hurt, right? That's what you thought as you chomp down the purple ice cream, tasting a sweet and chilling flavor, later regretting the choice after throwing up the feeling of dizziness and nausea. Whatever comes out is a monster that will probably claim your life for 247 steps after, and while the poison remains, you also get hungrier this way. However, without thinking much about how many steps you've taken, you're already inside the town. Hooray! But wait, who are those people in lavender uniforms? Are they street performers? Ice cream vendors? Both sounds likely since they're holding trombones and you also recognize their outfit being not dissimilar to the one from hours past, except he's not present and they're standing like statues. What do?

omg I loved this chapter, haha. This is why I can't get enough of the game! xP
Anyway, I'm going with #3. I don't care if our wallet is empty! >:D Though I was sooooo close to picking the fifth option, admittedly! |
Oh, wow! We got poisoned from eating the casteliacone. I was one of the few who refused to eat the cone.
1. Trombones are not threatening so I would say "hello." |
Wow, we got poisoned by eating the poisoned ice cream. How unexpected.
#5 sounds like fun.~ |
2. Who knows what they might be up to?
|
Hmm, I'm detecting something shady about these mysterious lavender characters. Better act inconspicuous! #5 it is. xD
|
How could I skip one chapter? That terrible!
Anyway, 5. because... reasons. |
No. 4.. I want a bit of money to buy some food, not just ice cream..
|
2. Uh... hello? We're poisoned

Did I do it right? Quote:
Whew lad, seems like it's almost a week of sitting still in the meantime. It's just that I was having finals for the from four days ago and today, I'm back to make sure it will get anywhere depending on what you chose. Ergo, please forgive me for the wait. What do?

What purpose could it serve? Deaths: 1 Chapter 15: Singing Location: ??? If they're street performers like you guessed, they should be playing something for you and the town. Well, but simply listening to them playing music might be a bit boring when anyone could appreciate every of their effort, when you're simply not on par with them. Hence, you want to prove that you can also be as good as them, by confidently singing a song... about ice cream. After what seems to be a lazy presentation of the invisible lyrics, the group takes notice of your voice and in response, beckons you to play music together. Enthusiastically, you and the group sing the same song you came up with, one by one joining with their trombones that play differently than anyone would expect, eventually taking attention of the townspeople who happens to pass by even in confusion. They throw their money in appreciation, clap their hands with the rhythm, the cheers from the enclosing crowd pressure you to more than just amaze them. Upon reaching the end of the song, they let out a big applaud, throwing confetti scattering the melting white grounds because they liked your performance. It doesn't take long for them to disperse, where the group takes count on how much money they got from the show and share it evenly to everyone who took part in it. Well, that was fun, even if the poison is no longer to keep you in company. Meanwhile, what to do next?
