Roman's lunch was satisfying, as all meals made by Patton are. After an exhausting, 2 hours of trying to get the game and create an account, he finally sits on his bed, boots up the game, and is ready for a crazy time. He hears 2 knocks at the door of his bedroom.
"Come in," Roman said. Logan answers the door.
"That's a first" Roman thought.
"Greetings Roman, may I watch you play this game you guys are invested in?"
"Sure...Teacher"
"Geez, Louise, why would like Logan to just barge into your room unless you screwed up" The game starts with a black screen. An imaginary pen writes "Somewhere in the spiral" while two unknown voices are struggling. a monkey in a pirate's outfit asks
"Is this the prisoner you're looking for?" the monkey named Mr. Gandry says
"Hard to say," his human friend named BoochBeard replies.
"You there, you're standing on my blind side. are ye a boy or a girl"
"They don't have a gender-neutral option?" Logan asked.
"This game is made in 2012, a lot has changed"
"For sure."
"Anyway, I am a male"
"What's yer name pirate?"
"Oof, um" After scrolling through some names, he settled on Noble, Ronan.
"I told you, he's the one."
"Maybe so, if ye are who you say ye are... prove it," the screen is now a ship with a compass next to it, pointing to different options, a skull, a storm cloud, a green squid, a treasure map, and what looks like a Mardi Gras mask but instead of being fancy and full of glitter, it was plain with a tricorn pirate hat that had 2 red feathers on it and 2 white tubes on both sides of the face.
"We know you're an orphan. How did you lose your parents?" Roman glances at Logan and saw a puzzled but slightly interested look on his face. "Is he trying to understand what is going on in this fictional world? He hates every type of fiction out there and had no business coming into his room and watching him. Was doing this to make Patton happy? Probably."
" This determines which companion I get later in the game, companions help me fight in battle," Roman says trying to break the silence. Logan nods in response. Roman clicked on the map. The compass disappears." Lost in search of buried treasure! Now there's a tale!" BoochBeard says all giddy. The ship meanwhile is sailing through different places inspired by the real world but with a unique twist. "Look on the bright side- perhaps they are not dead! They would be trapped in a dungeon somewhere" Mr. Landry says while the ship gets demolished by a tornado. Logan looked annoyed at that statement.The compass shows up again with different options this time with the back of a pirate next to it instead of a ship. The options were, two weird-looking daggers, an old timely gun, a gold cross-staff, a sword with a wooden shield behind it, and a pirate hook "so who raised ye, then? Where did you grow up?"
" This raises one of my stats," Roman says. Logan nods again. Roman clicked on the shield-sword combo. "Ye say ye were raised in far of Grizzleheim? A Bear clan took ye in, I take it." BoochBeard said as a bunch of bears in Viking outfits out of a Viking ship. "Only the strong survive in Grizzleheim. You must be tough indeed" Mr. Gandry says.This last menu looks a lot different than the other two. It still has a compass but the background is a prison cell that has a skeleton with its hands in chains. "So, how'd ye end up in this brig? what crime did the Armada arrest you for?" the options were, a Dagger and a rose, another old-timey gun, a voodoo doll, a spyglass, and a steering wheel and a sword with a red flag behind it.
"This determines what kind of pirate I am," Roman says while Logan nods with his hand on his chin. Roman picked the dagger and rose. "So ye assaulted an Armada officer while defending your best friend's honor?" BoochBeard says while a young pirate is fighting an Armada officer
"You are a Swashbuckler, Swashbucklers are known for their speed and cunning" Mr.Gandry replies. Roman then makes his character and flag with some input from Logan. The flag has a single rose with a red base color and a gold star behind the rose. " Well, I have to help Patton with stuff around the house. Have fun, Roman."
"Uhh, thank you." Logan leaves the room with Roman baffled about how instead of yelling at him, he tried to get engaged in this simple pirate game. He now desperately hopes that this playthrough won't lead to a massive fight among the former dark sides.
