The Gamers: Hands of Fate Page #7

CHIBI CHAN! (Now we have you)

CHIBI CHIBI CHAN! (There is no escape)

CHIBI CHAN (DOOM!!!)

CHIBI... (YOUR SOUL IS MINE!)

(MINE!!!) (MUA HA HA H---)

yeah!

rabbit season!

hey!

blast him!

you! pack your bags all the rest of you out

come on, let's go move along

move along

let's go move along move along

come on

now Mr. Cassidy

I suppose you're wondering why you've been brought here today

no not really

a common theme one finds in classical mythology

is the belief that all events are predetermined

that all outcomes have already been decided

by gods

weaving together the strands of fate

on a related note you may call me

weaver

no

I'm sorry?

no I'm gonna call you...

Lewis

you look like a Lewis to me

I see that we are evenly matched not really no

is this going somewhere?

you're a good player, yes but new

inexperienced

you'd be wise to ally with us

go your own way if you must

but be warned, we set our agenda into motion years ago

and it is unstoppable now

we're gonna turn this into another poker

another magic

starvation is just a tactic to frustrate the story players

and it's working, it's driving them away from the game

with them gone, the publishers need to look for different revenue streams

a.k.a sponsored tournaments with cash prizes

and that means money

you hear me?

getting paid to play games

wait

that's it?

that's the big evil plan?

what about the story? f*** the story!

that's just there to keep people invested

and after we kill questing when I win tomorrow

in a couple of years the only players left will be guys like us

and you could be a part of that...

oh...

did you just brain freeze yourself?

no...

the legacy has dominated the tourna scene

yeah ok we're done here

you're doomed if you cross us! I'll keep that in mind

we're more powerful than you can possibly imagine

I'm sure you are...

what's up? do it

no no no, aaah!

can't we just accept that he's not coming?

the finals start at noon

it's not noon

ergo, the finals haven't started yet

he's coming right?

why would I know that?

nice lecter I'm not cosplaying!

hey

I heard about what happened it's a shame

shame was definitely involved

history of the nine empires

weird reading about it in the third person

you know I played in some of the tournaments that helped write the early chapters

yeah? yeah!

fall of the god king founding of Holden

was a great time in the game

you know what I loved about it?

the fact that it was never just about what you yourself were doing

I mean, not if you were in the tournament circuit

when you had years of other players accomplishments to consider

to live up to and you get onto that stage

and all of those people pulling for different factions

my hands were actually shaking during some of the matches

and the cry havocs? where everyone's howling at the top of their lungs?

and it barrels down in your chest and focuses things like a laser

and puts you in a state of no mind how many games have you played

where you control the landscape of what's to come?

where you drive the game? where you're part of the story

I did not know this world existed

and now that you do what the hell are you doing out here?

the finals are going on and you said this girl was worth it

what's changed?

yeah it's this way yeah

that's what's up baby ah!

Cas! where have you been?

I'm really sorry the finals start in like

now! look I'm really sorry

I can't play tonight

ok sure you can

get up there, kick ass my deck's gone

burnt actually

guess who did it

no no no no you you'll hey hey hey hey hey

it's ok you still got a champion oh no

still got a champion she's sitting right there oh no no

you're not playing?

I accept your concession sidebar

now!

what is your angle, ok? how is this supposed to get me in bed?

when it started it was all I was after

but then

Kinda against my will I got invested

in the story, Myriad and the group

and if I had my deck I'd hurl it headlong into getting our queen on the throne

date or no

so quit wasting time on me and go kick some undead ass

hey buddy have you got Cas's deck list?

ah yes but I can't give it to you

listen up people

ok so we've got.. oh sh...

we've got eight minutes to rebuild Cas's deck

or he can't play

hey look I know, I know it's not gonna be easy

right, some of these cards have been out of play since

forever

but I have seen them!

I know we have them

as trophies as trade stock

so please dig deep people

everybody's gonna get their cards back, but this

this here is to stop the undead

this

this is for Countermay!

let's save the world

cards up everybody lets go

thank you thank you oh my...

ok good good good I don't deserve this

no

but this isn't about you

beautiful what you got?

oh that's coming back to you!

why?

because I've had enough

you're gonna keep doing this until you get whatever it is our of your system

so you just... go!

and if I see you on the news tomorrow

I will deny you three times

you can take the mask off

no

I kinda like it

thank you thank you thank you we are so...

we're so close

we're one short

alright? it's a hang on

kind of a... huge one

I need an apple of life

who's got one?

who's got one?

anybody

apple of life come on we just need one we got it

I could use some help against the undead

go team

you damn right

Ixhasa, Malchior, Holden

in one of these envelopes lies the future of Countermay

today we crown a new high monarch

today we shall have a reckoning

today we shall cry havoc! HAVOC!

cry havoc! HAVOC!

and lets slip the dogs of war!

CHIBI... CHIBI CHAN

cannot wait to get my beer on

hey no autographs dude

Buxtehude, you are...

not again

I had hoped for a more even match upon a return engagement

I see I'm to be disappointed... I have never had such a bad draw

it's like these cards have a mind of their own

will Myriad be joining us?

it's like she's not even in here!

what do you mean, gone?

her chamber is empty and there's a map missing from the cache

which map?

yours is a world of many possibilities, yes

and few are aware of all the versions played out

before the course of events resolves

what of those who control our destiny?

the ones playing games with our fate?

you have it backwards!

these players do not determine the fate of Countermay

they are reading its history and through a means of divination

as old as time

cards?

it is as I predicted

your quest tricks may get you through the Swiss but they will not hold up

against an elite build in the elimination round

there is no time left to quest majesty

Malchior is here

the hell have you been?

do we stand any chance of defeating them in a pitched battle?

None

well then... Chealy?

to battle!

quite liked Myriad

it's a pity another Buxtehude has to die because you two overestimated yourselves

I got nothing

damnit!

this is why we hunt and you gather

Lewis weaver advances to the final round

great game Natalie
