Straight Out of the Video Game

The Black Void - Episode 604

There's no sign of Princess Annabelline. However, there is a sign in the room. It's large and it's black and in large white letters it says:

"SORRY, MARIO! THE PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE!"

What the--? You're know of no one named Mario. This can't be for you. But who went through the trouble of putting up such an odd sign?

After racking your brain for a few taxing microseconds, you decide it's not worth the effort to figure out the meaning of the sign. You prefer to stay within the realm of the obvious, and the obvious is that the princess definitely isn't here.

Then it hits you. Oh, yeah, duh. You almost smack yourself in the forehead with an open palm. It's from the video game, stupid. But...you thought you were the only one in the entire realm that had heard of the game. So someone evidently knows about your time period. But who? Unless it was...no, it can't be God. God wouldn't waste time playing stupid mind games with you. Would he?

So, it's sometime around one in the morning, the princess you sought isn't here, and in her place is a sign straight out of a 1980's video game. Are you dreaming? You pinch yourself. It hurts. No, you're not dreaming. Are you hallucinating? Probably not.

  1. You take the sign at face value, sneak out of the castle, and try another castle tomorrow night.
  2. You search the castle for clues to the identity of the sign's writer, as well as (of course) the princess.
