The Punny Skeleton

*You walk through the gateway. Immediately, snow falls onto your face. You are in a snowy forest that is a bit dark. Do you go back, continue onwards, or ponder?*

*Lena continues onwards*

*You continue walking. A bridge comes into view in the distance. Do you go back, continue forward, or think about this place?*

*Why would I think about this place? Lena continues forward*

*You think as you walk towards the bridge. How in the world is it snowing when you are underground? In fact, how did you survive the fall here, much less not have anything broken, sprained, or dislocated!? You reach the bridge. Do you go back, continue walking, or stop?*

*Lena stops. There's a bridge in her way! Of course she stops!*

*A shadow appears behind you.*

"hey kid."

*Do you run or stay?*

*AAGH! Lena is freaked out. Lena runs.*

*As you pointed out earlier, there is a bridge in your way. You turn around.*

*SHOOT!*

"hey kid, why don't you shake hands with a new pal?"

*Do you shake their hand, stand there in shock, or punch them in the face?*

*Lena PUNCHES THEM IN THE FACE while screaming silently. A FRIGGIN STALKER NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED!!!!!*

*Your hand hits bone. You realize it's a skeleton.*

*AAAAGHHHHHH*

"woah, calm down kid. i didn't mean to scare you. you're a hyper one. you do know i just want to be your friend right? i don't want to hurt you if you think that's what i'm going to do."

*He slowly lowers your hand. He had blocked it right before it hit his face. Do you calm down, struggle, try to break free, or flirt?*

*LENA STRUGGLES AND TRIES TO BREAK FREE. THIS IS A SKELETON. HE WILL KILL HER.*

*He lets go of your hand. Fight, flee, or flirt? The three F's.*

*Lena thinks about flirting for a SPLIT SECOND but she doesn't do it. She flees. While blushing, 'cause she thought about flirting with the crazy skeleton.*

*Again, bridge. You stand there.*

*AGH STUPID BRIDGE*

"well, it looks like you've calmed down. i'm cuphead. cuphead the skeleton! nice to meetcha"

*He holds out his hand. Do you take it, fight, or flirt?*

*Lena takes his hand with EXTREME CAUTION. She is VERY suspicious.*

*A loud noise erupts from your clasped hands. The skeleton laughs.* 

*I KNEW it*

"hehehe, that one never fails. now what's your name kiddo?"

*Do you punch him, tell him your name, or stare at him?"

*Lena attempts to tell him her name, but she can't speak. She is MUTE*

*He still understands your stares.*

*Welp. Lena stares at him, then. :)*

"ah, lena is it? nice name. shall we continue?"

*You stare at him, then smile. Do you continue, stay still, or run away?*

*Lena stays still*

*Cuphead looks at you strangely.*

"welp, if you want to stay, that's your choice."

*He pats you on the head then walks over the bridge. Do you retreat, stay shocked like a child, or follow?*

*Lena realizes that staying still was a mistake. She follows, it's scary in this forest.*

*You go through the bridge and catch up to Cuphead.* 

"hehe, weren't scared were we? now, i'm going to be honest. i'm supposed to be watching for hoomans but i don't really care. my little brother is a different story though. see, he's always wanted to be apart of the royal guard and so he's also on human patrol. all he wants to do is catch a hooman. i was wondering if you could humer him a bit. get it? anyways, that would be great help."

*Do you accept, decline, laugh, flirt, or do a combination of some kind?*

*Lena does a combination of accepting and laughing.*

*Cuphead blushes.*

"i didn't know you were one for jokes. oh look! it's my bro! quick, hide behind that conveniently shaped lamp!"

*Do you hide behind the lamp, Cuphead, or stay still?*

*Lena hides behind Cuphead*
