New Scenario 2-16: Putting your freinds to use.
Hey hey hey children. Time for another scenario! This scenario is special though, because this is what I like to call a "Moral-Choice Scenario": Moral-Choice scenarios are simply made to test the character of the person answering. Usually there is no direct threat to the person answering, but rather an associate character in the story. Seeing as your choices now dictate what happens to others, be as honest as possible ;). Anyways, let's begin.
The quest to save your wife (sorry ladies, she's female and can't be gender swapped) starts with a journey into the next town over; The only problem is that it's an eight mile hike and you and your friends are getting tired, especially Flintlock. Flintlock has always been the guy who complains and this is no exception, he's been whining and complaining like a child and you're honestly sick of it. To make matters worse, you guys have almost no money seeing as you guys have American money. Not-Mio only has about 100 Euros on her making that the total for all 4 of you guys.
As you guys are walking, a huge portable home-carriage led by 2 horses begins to gallop behind you. Seeing as you guys have another four miles left, you all decide to stop the person guiding the carriage and ask for some help. An old man with a robe and wizards hat then exits the carriage to negotiate. After asking him to take you into town with him he tells you the following: I'll gladly take you guys with me, but in return [licks lips] I want the boy for until we reach town. He then points at Flintlock and Flintlock looks at him with an expression as if he's going to kill him (if only he had his signature flintlock from the gun club with him). Not-Mio then looks at you and ask, "Well Boss, what do we do?"
What do you say what do you do?"
[Me]"Come on man... what can be worse?"
[Flintlock]"Worse... worse you mean? have you look into that buggers eye? I means what kind of nasty thing he could do to me?"
[Me]"Nasty...? Well there's a few worst possible..." before I can finish my word.
[Old Wizard]"Come on... Decide now..."
All three of us looks towards the old wizard, Not-Mio was getting impatient too.
[Me]"Listen... Flintlock... Man, I'm sorry to push you to this decision, but its better if you sacrifice yourself for all of us"
[Flintlock]"There you go again with.. Sacrifice and experience and s**t... You could always walk away... Back to your land and be with another women." whilst pointing his finger at me.
[Me]"I could always do that, with the kind of things I see through my eyes, all the odd stack against me. But I still love her... And that made me true to her"
And silent fall between 2 men that a few minute ago bickering like an old wives complaining about their husband. Never before Not-Mio felt so out off place but she has to break the silence and start moving again.
[Not-Mio]"And our dear Lord Flintlock decision is..."
[Flintlock]"Sh*t... You and your feeling... I don't know what is gonna happen, but I hope I won't die from this"
[Me]"Thank...."
[Flintlock]"No... No lad... Just not now... You owe me a lot for this"
[Me]"You bet I do"
Turning around Flintlock inhale, and whilst facing the old wizard he exhale all the air inside his lugs as to make clear of his decision. All the bickering and yelling really made him tired, but he still have an answer to be made.
[Flintlock]"Old man... you have a deal. Do as you please."
I really like the elaborate answer you provided. :)
I was quite stressed at that time, but I was more afraid that the idea couldn't get through.
