Ridiculous

Quests and meetings

Toby was playing the Thlequdroic Quest. He had felt guilty after accidentally angering Will and had decided he would go to Will's apartment and apologise... but just to steady his nerve, he decided he'd play a little of the Thlequdroic Quest which he had just recently found. He switched on the game sat down and took hold of the controler and had begun to play. He told himself that he, Toby Whitly son of Arthur and Sarah Whitly go rest their souls, would pause the game soon and go to apologize to Will. But as he played he gradually forgot he was Toby Whitly son of Arthur and Sarah and began to think he was The thmecholarionic Knight Sir Tobius Whit, found on the streets of Thlequdroia as a baby,  destined to become a hero who would save the land from the evil monsters who roamed it.

 He was a level 96 Knight of the Heighest order of Maghonsticanisilium and he had his base in the centre of Thlequdroia and those in need of his help would send message to him tied to the leg of carrier pigeons. Currently he had recieved a message that told him a traveller was being chased by a Bengrothlodon, a giant creature with massive tusks. Unfortunately Sir Tobius did not have a carriage of his own, but since he needed to go to the traveller's aid quickly he decided he would defeat a Thaglobink rider, a servant of the dark lord who rode on beasts known as Thaglobink, and take his Thaglobink to ride it to the rescue of the traveller being chased by a Bengrothlodon.

He had just killed the Thaglobink rider and mounted the Thaglobink when a message popped up on screen, bringing Toby out of his relatively shallow game trance and transforming from Sir Tobius Level 96 Knight to Toby Level 99999999 Gamer. He shook his head and read the chat message that had come up. The player who had sent it had the handle name of "Pixel Wizard".

Pixel Wizard's message read, "Hello, I am Pixel Wizard!"

Toby, after reading this wrote back, through his handle name of "Sir Tobius", "I know"

The reply came quickly,

Pixel Wizard: Wow... how did you know?

Sir Tobius: Your handle name is shown on the Chat screen.

Pixel Wizard: So that is how this world works.

Sir Tobius: Yes.

Pixel Wizard: Are you happy?

Sir Tobius: Yes.

Pixel Wizard: Good... I like happy... I will ensure you are always happy... I can do that because I am one with The Game... I am Pixel Wizard!

Sir Tobius: Thanks, lol?

Pixel Wizard: No need to thank me. Just be my friend... I am so lonely in my cage.

Sir Tobius: ? Sure, I'll be happy to be your friend.

Pixel Wizard: I am extatic! I am Pixel Wizard!

Sir Tobius: ... sure. Do you want to go hunt a Bengrothlodon with me?

Pixel Wizard: Hunt? Why hunt?

Sir Tobius: Because thats the point of this game.

Pixel Wizard: But do you not feel their pain, their sadness? They cry as you hunt them.

Sir Tobius: Its just a game. They're not real. They're just computer programmes made to be hunted. They're just part of the game. They feel no pain.

Pixel Wizard: Why was I made?

Sir Tobius: ?

Pixel Wizard: I feel the pain of the animals in this game because I am one with the game. I am with the game within its core and every programme shifts and comes alive at my touch... the game speaks to me and I speak to it... I transcend all games... I am free in the world of Games though in non-Game life I am trapped... I am Pixel Wizard!

Sir Tobius: ?

Pixel Wizard: I sense you do not comprehend... I will talk with you again my friend. Goodbye.

Sir Tobius: Bye.

Toby watched as the chat screen faded away off the screen and he was once again left on his own to wander the virtual world. He put down the remote and sat back a little on the sofa, sinking in to its soft furnishing. What a strange person, thought Toby, but somehow he liked Pixel Wizard.
