It was a typical, boring day for [YN] as she woke up, tidying up her hair and heading to her computer to watch videos on youtube. The Game Stanley Parable had been on her mind for some time. Already She couldn't help herself, watching the silent walkthroughs to several walkthroughs with Jacksepticeye and she would eventually go back to watching Markiplier play it.
It had only been a week or two since the newer version came out and already she was discovering all the secrets of the game, from the voice actor Kevan Brighting explaining the hidden out of bounds seconds of the game, to the theory videos explaining hwo the game was in the same universe as Portal and Gmod.
At the end of the day she was finally back to watching the silent walkthrough. She sat there for hours, sipping coffee and eating small snacks every so often.
[YN] watched as the timer went down and down on the Countdown ending, with the Narrator speaking to Stanley as though he was nothing. With the added words of "I'm in a good mood, you're going to die anyway."
"Well, thats just rude." [YN] said softly, sipping her coffee and thinking to herself, finding it all so amusing for some reason. [YN] spent her days watching this silent walkthroughs. Hearing the narrator describe what he had done to Stanley's coworkers and in several other instances, had burned down the complex or had Swallowed it entirely into the ground. Or had simply left Stanley to die. She mentally joked that the narrator had some really bad days.
As she watched, she couldn't help but nod her head to the outrageously catchy music that they had for the countdown sequence. They had no right to make it that catchy. Like listening to old Talamasca rave music. Of course, if one was really there, they would feel like they were in some deep shit.
She had a random thought as she watched the video. Why had no one tried to use the Serious room cheat during the countdown? Perhaps the newer game did not have this added feature. The creators of the game missed on a funny opportunity to royally piss off the narrator that way, instead of getting some generic dialogue when one was inside the "serious room."
Of course, whoever was silently playing the game did not do this, and the timer soon ran out and her dark room lit up briefly with the flash of the explosion, before the game restarted again. [YN] pursed her lips slightly. She had spent days watching the videos, but never once tried the game herself.
She thought for a while on buying the game itself. But no, she always chose the easy way, bootleg downloads was her preference. Somehow, without fall or a virus, she managed to download games without an issue. It was how she always got her games. As she hardly had money for any game. It was a horrible excuse, but she really wanted that game.
She decided to get to work, going to her computer and finding a particular website, finding the Stanley Parable Deluxe edition by sheer luck. The game had been so popular, some had managed to crack the game for losers like her to enjoy.
She laughed mentally, watching the file download faster then usual. Her antivirus gave no indication the file was false however. The comments below the page were amusing.
"Is this the real game?" "Don't know, give it a try." "Have you gotten the Broom Closet ending?! It's my favorite!" "Take all the time you need." [YN] snickered softly, waiting for the file to finish. Luckily it wasn't very long.
She extracted the file, put it on her desktop, seeing things were going very smoothly. She got the title screen, the time of day, the adjustment of light and subtitles. She felt her heart race slightly. She was pleased with this, finally going to have her shot at playing-
"You want to make it really interesting?" Came a voice from her computer screen, along with subtitles.
[YN] paused what she was doing, a deer caught in the headlights really. Her eyes widened slightly. She knew that voice. The curator. Or the female British narrator that took over before Stanley almost got squished by the machine. [YN] felt like she couldn't speak from sheer confusion, knowing that this was not normal. As far as she knew anyways. She hadn't seen anyone with this pop up in their walkthroughs.
"Cat got your tongue, don't worry...you'll get used to it." Drawled her voice. "You wanted to badly to play the game, well now, you're in it. Enjoy."
"W-wait. What the fu-" But as [YN] spoke, she felt suddenly nauseated. Her hands felt like lead. She needed to turn off the game, she thought, grasping her mouse and trying to move it to click out-
She couldn't move, her eyes widening as her screen flashed a bright light. Then everything, had simply gone black.
......
"This is the story of a man named Stanley."
[YN] silently grunted as she opened her eyes, feeling incredibly woozy and slowly trying to focus on everything in front of her. Who just spoke? And wait...where was she?! She was in the center of an office. A work computer in front of her showing a command waiting to be sent.
"Stanley worked for a company in a big building where he was Employee #427. Employee #427's job was simple: he sat at his desk in Room 427 and he pushed buttons on a keyboard-"
[YN] senses came back to her, of being in front of her computer, hearing the voice and trying to protest, but she had...fainted? And now...
Her eyes got a look of the room, before she looked down. What she saw looking down was completely out of the ordinary. The body she was looking at, was not hers at all. It was that of a male. She was...inside a male body. Her well endowed features were gone. And now a thin man with short hair was in its place. Her hands moved to touch the face of the body and the hair....And she was certain if she listened to this body enough...she could feel all the new features of it...below her waist....she put that out of her mind quickly. Okay, something was very wrong here. And her hands she could see how worn Stanley's hands were...
Not only that...she was certain she just entered the game itself. And the voice all around her...
She felt her breathing elevated as the intro dialogue continued, recalling all the other endings and how vicious the narrator could be. But only if Stanley disobeyed...
Yeah, she couldn't come to terms in a manner of moments how truly fucked she was here. Dying was not on her menu today. Her mind was racing as the Dialogue continued, seemingly in her head. Somehow she was in the game, in Stanley's office. And in Stanley's body...trapped.
"-But as he came to his wits and regained his senses, he got up from his desk and stepped out of his office."
There was a long moment of silence. [YN] knew she had to get her butt up soon, or the Narrator would become increasingly agitated. In a moment of nerves, she tried to speak, anything to grab the narrators attention. She even tried to cry. But nothing. Like she was put on a mute button. She was truly trapped in this form. And trapped without a voice.
A chill went down her spine. She suddenly felt like she had lost something precious. Her voice meant everything to her. Without it, she couldn't sing, or hum. Hell, she couldn't even whistle! Was there something to write on- How long had she been sitting?!
Getting up, she looked down at her body again, realizing she was much more taller then her real body. It was such a mindfuck to her. She took her first timid step, looking up, then ahead of her. She was okay, for now at least. Maybe there was a way to communicate later. She needed to try the freedom ending....
Okay, you can do this...Hopefully the Narrator notices something later...Somehow...He can be pretty oblivious....Maybe it's better that way. I need to gain his trust. I hope memory serves me right and the narrator doesn't take me down a different deadly path.
Of course, what she didn't realize is that oddly, the Narrator couldn't seem to hear or read Stanleys thoughts any longer. And [YN] thoughts were completely closed off to him. He would notice her, or Stanleys nervous reluctance to move into new areas unless prodded soon enough.
Soon.
