Your New Life

Another New Life

You wake up to the sound of surf, much, much closer than you've ever heard it unless you moseyed down to Puffin Pier back in the old days. What old days...? Why, the days when you had a body, of course. The memories are probably coming back by now, jumbled along with everything else you lost. What a wake-up call.

But at least the ocean is real, unlike your dubiously fragmented remembrances. This little island out in the middle of nowhere sports a crude sign reading DUCK DAMNED ISLAND that seems like it's really railing against whatever fate you've been left to. There are little seashells and sparkling fragments amongst the sand to the left of your face. If you look further, to the left and right, it seems you're not the only one who's woken up here; it's considerably less cushy than your last wakeup, but maybe that's not a bad thing.

Here, you're free, albeit... kind of incorporeal, as you'll soon find out. The island is covered in pretty little trees that don't quite form a forest, bowed over the really beautiful sandy beach that is way prettier than the one on the mainland. One, slightly rickety treehouse -- bare of anything, because incorporeal ghosts don't need furniture, of course -- peeks out from between the leaves. This is, apparently, your home away from home now.

Finally, there's a small bay-like area on the island that leads you to a strange-looking storm drain, marked with a symbol that's not-quite-an-apple. Stepping in will wash you alllllll the way back up to Puffin Pier, right where the sewers normally let out.

Oh, and once you step onto the mainland? You're now a duck. What kind of quacking afterlife is this.

[ A natural 20... ]

You're not cheating are you, Keito-kun?

[driftedaway]

Of course not! [ 15! And since Sora also rolls a 15, it's a duel for the Town Cart! ] Now it's your turn, Otonashi.

[aurevoirx2]

[ ... ]

20 again... okay. [ He's a little happy though? ]

[driftedaway]

Aww, I'll just have to roll as high next time.

[ Anyway, back to the grind to get more property! ]

[aurevoirx2]

[ ... So close to the bad spot... ]

[driftedaway]

[ And then it's a duel over the Adventurer's Guild...where Sora rolled a 1. ]

That wasn't what I meant, but I'll take it.

[ Unsurprisingly, Keito wins with a 17. ]

[aurevoirx2]

[ ?!? ]

Wow??

[aurevoirx2]

[ .......

These ducking dice!! ]

[driftedaway]

Welcome to Skull Cavern!

[ Why is this so funny? ]

[aurevoirx2]

[ ........... ] Really?

[driftedaway]

Wow, how long are you going to be stuck there...?

[aurevoirx2]

... Forever, apparently.

[driftedaway]

[ And they're just gonna duel over this town cart while Sora's still in the cavern apparently! ]

I can't believe I lost while you're stuck there.

[aurevoirx2]

[ How'd he get a 14 there but then lost the cavern roll again... ]

[aurevoirx2]

[ Freedom!! Finally. ]

Yeesh.... finally... how many turns was that?

[driftedaway]

Way too many!

[ He can't help but snicker at how long it took. ]

[aurevoirx2]

[driftedaway]

Your rolls sure are good when you're dueling...

[aurevoirx2]

And only dueling apparently....... why are we both back here?

[driftedaway]

For mysterious reasons...

[ And then they end up dueling yet again, this time over the Salon...which is a 15. ]

Wow, we just tied.

[aurevoirx2]

Maybe we need to replace these dice next time. These seem to be cursed.

[ ... ]

Well, there, now I lost a duel for once.

[driftedaway]

I like these dice though!

[ Pfft. ]

Guess it's time to knock on wood.

[aurevoirx2]

You were saying?

[driftedaway]

[ boo, caverns!!! ]

I'll just roll high next time!

[aurevoirx2]

Ehh... your luck sure is high.
