I looked around the shack when Alex called me.
"Hey Y/N! Come see this. It says Alan Parrish. Does the name ring a bell?"
"Alan Parrish? My parents told me about him. He disappeared for 26 years and his friend Sarah Whittle claimed he had been sucked into a board game called Jumanji."
"So this is where he must've stayed all those years."
"Nigel said this is the shelter we could use to wait for the others."
"So, we're in a videogame right?"
"Yeah?"
"Every character has their strengths and weaknesses. Let's see...."
He started tapping on his arms and chest until suddenly a blue box appeared. It read:Strengths:
-Piloting
-Margaritas
-AliceWeaknesses:
-Mosquitoes"How did you do that?"
"Well I tapped the heart area and it appeared."
I tapped where the heart is and the same box appeared but it was orange.Strengths:
-Agility
-Speed
-Shape shifting
-Misdirection
-SeaplaneWeaknesses:
-Heights
-Clumsiness"Why am I your strength?" I asked Alex.
"I'm your strength too. It must mean that our characters have a strong bond with each other. My strengths are piloting, margaritas and you."
"Margaritas? As in the alcoholic drink?"
"I think so. And my weakness is mosquitoes. Great. We're in the middle of the jungle. The jungle is full of mosquitoes!"
"Don't worry Alex, I'll put citronella candles around the shelter."
"Ok thanks."
"My strengths are agility, speed, shape shifting, misdirection and you. What is misdirection?"
"Misdirection is basically what magicians do, they make you focus on a distraction while they do something else."
"Ok, and my weaknesses are heights and clumsiness. God, now my clumsiness is going to get me killed somehow."
"Don't worry Y/N, we got each other."
I set up the citronella candles around the shelter. If I can shape shift, can I shape shit into anything? Or just animals? I was wandering around the shack when I found a map of some sort. It was a map of some tunnels that went under a market. It had notes like back to the wall, stay off the white bricks and freeze and use plank.
"Y/N, I'm going to go explore the area. You wanna come?"
"Sure. Hey Alex, I found this map of some sort of tunnel under a bazaar."
"Great! Let's see if we can find it and visit the bazaar to get supplies."
We wandered around for a while until we found a graffitied door.
"We found it! Let's go."
I found a torch and lit it up. I looked at the map while we were walking. I saw that there was a gap in the path and the note that said: Killer crocs! Use plank!
Alex was still walking and was about to fall in when I grabbed the back of his jacket.
"Alex!"
"Woah!"
"Careful." I showed him the map.
"Killer crocs."
I grabbed a plank that was leaning on a wall and placed it so that we could cross. Alex crossed first. I was pretty scared. Alex saw me and said
"C'mon Y/N, look in to my eyes and don't look down."
I looked into his eyes and felt calmer. I started to cross the plank when suddenly a croc jumped trying to bite me and I lost balance.
"Y/N!"
He grabbed my arm and pulled me up before I could fall down into the moat. I immediately wrapped my arms around him and gave him a hug.
"Thank you Alex."
"No problem."
We walked in a hallway with white and black tiles. The walls started rumbling.
"Stay off the white bricks and freeze!" I shouted.
Alex did as I said and a minute later the white tiles were replaced with long blades.
"Holy shit."
We came to a round room with a big drawing in the middle. The map said 'Don't step on the pieces with skills on them!'
"Careful Alex, don't step on the pieces with skills on them."
"Ok."
Then we arrived at a long hallway. At the end there was a ladder and behind the ladder was a skeleton pinned to the wall with wooden stakes. The map said 'When you hear gears turning, back pressed to the wall.' Alex was staring at the skull when we heard gears turning.
"Back against the wall!"
We backed against the wall when wooden stakes came out of nowhere and flew across the hallway. We climbed up the ladder and entered a bazaar.
