> Use CLOCKSTOPPER and move them somewhere else, like in that hole where all the cannibal rats live

What? No. That's not a very nice thing to do, and you are an excellent host. Besides, the cannibal rats only eat each other, what with them being cannibals, so they'd be woken up by them scurrying around and gnawing on each other, which wouldn't be very comfortable.

What will you do?

> Train the rats to be butlers

You fail to do so since they're rats. The outcome was kind of obvious since it's not in your skillset to train animals.

What will you do?

Which new character?

[cryptidWrangler]

>The one who Arrived wrong.

[Sparks]

>The one who Arrived wrong.

You can't be him right now because he is dead, and has been for some time. Which is probably a good thing for him.

What will you do?

>Be the new character who is currently asleep with rats or something?

[Sparks]

>Be the new character who is currently asleep with rats or something?

You are now the new character who is currently asleep but not with rats or something. You just had to touch the weird artifact thingy. You just HAD to wander around the Captain's office and touch his stuff, and you just had to end up in the middle of absolutely nowhere. All you wanted was to run away and be a pirate, was that too much to ask? If you weren't asleep, you would also be bothered by your stupid dignified and ancient belt thing digging into you at this angle. However, you don't really care since you're asleep.

What will you do?

[Jetroid]

>Do the same thing you do every night.

[Sparks]

>Do the same thing you do every night.

Way ahead of you. You continue to sleep.

What will you do?

[Jetroid]

>1-10 hours later.

[Sparks]

>1-10 hours later.

1-10 hours later, you wake up, and you have the wonderful experience of spending the first eight seconds of consciousness not remembering where you are. And then you remember where you are. Well, at least you aren't in a crate or at the Coven.

You eventually get up when you become conscious enough to notice your stupid dignified emblem digging into you, and you drag yourself off the sofa, just in time for that guy who owns this place to walk in, wearing what you admit to be a very fine coat.

"Oh hey, quick question, what's your name?"

"W-what?"

"You know, your name. That thing that people call you in order to identify you."

"Um, right. Mia Lowe, that would be it."

"Right, got it. Hag, right? The triangle belt buckle thing gives it away." He turns around, apparently hearing something, and turns back to you.

"Back in a relative second."

He then proceeds to sprint out of the room, and about two seconds later, he walks back in, with messier hair and different pants. Ok, nothing weird about that at all. Nope, nothing at all. Definitely.

"Right, where was I... Did we do names? Yes we did, let's see... Oh, right, Hag. What are you doing here in the middle of absolutely nowhere on your own?"

"Teleported."

"What? Come on, you can't exactly dodge the question here."

Teleported here by accident, ok?"

"Well, you're not the worst result of a teleportation spell that I've had to deal with recently. Where were you originally, when you teleported to here? Maybe it's not that far away."

"The, uh, middle of the, um, ocean. Somewhere. On a ship."

He gives you a somewhat pained look.

"Would this ship happen to be a pirate ship, by any chance?

"Um, yes?"

"Did you use a teleportation spell, or did you use a device to perform the act of teleportation?"

"The second one." You're wondering where this is going.

"You wouldn't have happened to have broken this device while you were using it, would you?"

"Um, no, it's fine. I think. I kind of just poked it."

"Damn. Well, at least you didn't take everything else with you this time and destroy the rest of my place."

"Wait, this time-"

"That's not important right now. What is important, is knowing what you're going to do now that your pilgrimage to the middle of nowhere is complete."

Aaaaaand you have no idea. You didn't have a step-three to your original plan of running away, and you don't have a step-one to this plan. Still, you need an answer, even if you have no idea what's in this region of the continent.

What will you say?

Ok, I need to get this dialog thing settled, and if I put a poll up, I can't remove it, so I'm asking you all to leave a vote in your next post, for which one of these next options you would like to see. Vote for them using their number. Note that I'm going to keep the alternate fonts for people.

1. Just having coloured font for each character's dialog.

2. Having a name before each character starts talking. Can't use initials thanks to how people are named, so that isn't an option.

3. Both a colour and a name before they start talking for each character.

4. None of the above because these are all terrible options and I have a much better idea that I'm going to tell you because you're a miserable failure who'll never amount to anything.

Seriously, please vote so I can get this out of the way.

What? You can't time travel. The ability to time travel is this really rare thing, and you haven't met anyone who can do it. It'd be really cool to see someone do it though. Still, this doesn't solve your problem.

I wrote that post from a phone, sir. Touch-screens aren't very good for typing anything longer than a short sentence. I'm going to go over it and remove the errors when I get back to my regular computer.

Um, yeah, spells. Yeah, about that, you, um, kind of

>To quote the Genie, "Tell her the TRUTH!" Except that this is a guy, and you're not pretending to be a prince. So whatever. Admit you have no ----ing clue what you're doing next.

You're not sure what genie said that, particularly considering that genies aren't real, but you get the point. You admit that you have no ----ing clue what you're doing next.

"Well, it's always nice to see someone with clear direction. You're looking kind of pathetic right now, so I can't exactly throw you out, even if I was going to. I guess you can freeload here until you figure out what to do. If you want to leave, you can just turn left at the road and keep going forward until you hit something."

And with that, he walks out of the room, receiving your somewhat quiet thanks as he goes. Well, at least you won't be thrown out. There's always that. Now you only have to deal with the fact that you have no idea where you are in the house of a weird guy who's name you don't know. Well, it could be worse, you could be in the process of being thrown into an ancient volcano as part of an ancient and kind of dumb execution technique. Always have to stay somewhat positive.

> Discover your hidden talent and stop being a stupid hag

Obviously the only way to achieve that is to become a SMART hag. Or at least a VOCALLY TALENTED STUPID HAG. But anyway.

>Flashback to the day you became a hag.

[Sparks]

>Flashback to the day you became a hag.

You have a flashback to the day you became a Hag, or at least an apprentice, which, according to anybody over thirty-eight, qualifies you as a complete idiot incapable of earning any respect. Everybody else was fine though.

You were dropped off by your father, who wasn't allowed into the Coven thanks to the small matter of his gender and the fact that he referred to most of those high in the chain of command as incredible bitches who needed to be removed from the planet and preferably the gene pool. God you miss him.

After a long and boring one-woman ceremony of swearing you in to the ancient and supreme society of something something something, you were introduced to the conflicting authority figures of your younger and older teachers, the younger of which was alright, and the older not so much. You really wish you had been born thirty years later, since at least all of the assholes in the place would have just died off already.

Other than that, not much. You got introduced to people, you got your first belt thingy, and really wished you weren't there. Pretty much the only upside was the fact that it was also the first day you started learning how to play your instrument, which was pretty much the only thing you enjoyed.

Overall, you would say that you don't like the Hags that much, or at least their older members. There are probably plenty of older Hags who are perfectly nice, but through your filter of bias and resentment, you can't name any.

> Discover your hidden talent and stop being a stupid hag

You're not stupid, ok? You're You were doing just fine in magical theory, you just don't have a class yet, and you don't know what you're good at. You're going to find out what you're talented at any day now, ok?

> Make up a a song about walking endlessly to pass the time.

You figure you might as well. It's not particularly good, just a bit of a heavy beating tune appropriate for marching, or some repetitive activity, energetic enough to keep going without losing much energy or strength of its sound.

A minute or two later, and you realise you've been humming it, and stop, hoping the other guy didn't notice. You also notice that you're feeling a lot more awake than you were before, and you guess you must have woken yourself up. You're also beaten a deep hole into the wood of the table using your finger. You hope he doesn't notice that you've damaged his table with your light tapping wait WHAT
