Vagabond Episodes 13+14 Sh☠tpost

RADIO 1 MELONA PRESENTS:
Tonight we have a very special guest on air, HRH herself, Sicarius Queen of our fair land. She will be hosting her spec-ialty, The Sh☠tpost. And the subject of tonights sh☠tposting, is, you guessed it, VAGABOND, or as it is colloquially known, Bobby Bond. For the occasion HRH has dressed up accordingly in her Ghost Queen attire. She is looking veryโ€ฆ ghostly.
Yes and joining her this evening is an ex cast member of the show. Sheโ€™s asked me to leave the introductions to her soโ€ฆ without farther adoโ€ฆ take it away Your Majesty.

——————————————————-

🍈 Ghost Sic: Good evening fairest subjects and welcome to Late Nights With Assassins. Tonight I have a very special sh☠tpost for you all. I will be interviewing none other than the Ghost of Cha Dal Geon himself, hero and suicidal maniac of the VAGABOND FRANCHISE. Welcome, Dal Geon-ssi!!!

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Thank you for having me, Your Majesty.

🍈 Ghost Sic: The pleasure is all mine. Really.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Althoughโ€ฆ that information hasnโ€™t actually been released yet, Your Majestyโ€ฆ the whole franchise thing?

🍈 Ghost Sic: Oh really? My bad. SPO-ILER ALERT FOLKS. Coming to your screens next October!
*both occupants of studio look into camera with awkward and fake smiles respectively*
So anyway, Dal Geon-ssi- I know you were having trouble a few weeks ago, you Nine Feline Lives ran outโ€ฆ however, you successfully activated GHOST MODE I see?

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Yes, Your Majesty.

🍈 Ghost Sic: And how is that treating you?

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Ah well I just canโ€™t seem to help dying, Your Majesty. Iโ€™ve already lost 2.5 of my ghost lives.

🍈 Ghost Sic: You know what my good man, me either. Iโ€™m always dying. Itโ€™s such a hassle on the Queendomโ€™s Economy I tell you. And youโ€™ve already lost 2.5 lives already? Well thatโ€™s just not on man, get it together would you!

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: I am trying. I think thereโ€™s a bug in the game if you ask me.

🍈 Ghost Sic: Oh really. I am familiar with Game Bugsโ€ฆ tell me more about it.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Well itโ€™s an RPG right. You get to play as the main character, and the character makes certain decisions along the way to forward the overarching game story.

🍈 Ghost Sic: Right.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: But the character actions and decision options just make NO SENSE. AND thereโ€™s a compulsory love line sub plot that you HAVE to act out to get to the next mission.

🍈 Ghost Sic: Erghh

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Honestly I just point and shoot at things half the time and jump out of buildings because I really donโ€™t know how youโ€™re supposed to get through all the missions wITHOUT dying, and there are NO health check points, even though it keeps telling you to find one? And then Iโ€™m pretty sure there is a door in every tavern in this game that has the word ALHAMBRA written on it and you canโ€™t help but notice it because itโ€™s like glowing.

🍈 Ghost Sic: Oh no.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: I didnโ€™t open any of them though because I already die enough in the game without weird magical side quests on top of that.

🍈 Ghost Sic *fake grinning out of fear*: A wise decisionโ€ฆ tell me, Dal Geon-ssi, there isnโ€™t an NPC in this game called JEFFERY at all is there?

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: No I donโ€™t think so. There are some weird red boxes though; those do mean damage to oneโ€™s health I tell you.

🍈 Ghost Sic: No Jeffery? Hmmm well thatโ€™s good I suppose but what about these boxes?

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Theyโ€™re like TNT boxes but you canโ€™t pick them up, they just blow up in your face and make your health drop and they have other stuff written on them instead of TNT. Things like TCC and HDLL and KI☠ and EXPOSITION, HACK and PLOT HOLES, and then one with some weird runes on it I couldnโ€™t read.
Dunno what thatโ€™s about. And then when youโ€™ve been blown up by them these weird dummies always pop up and you have to kill them to be able to move on.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, THEMATIC CONSISTENCY and LOGIC are the typical names they bear.

🍈 Ghost Sic: Well thatโ€™s just maddeningly unhelpful isnโ€™t it. However you managed to get this far I donโ€™t know.
Tell me a bit about this story of the game youโ€™re in.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: What story?

🍈 Ghost Sic: You know the story of the game you mentioned?

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Oh wellโ€ฆ I just SAY that you knowโ€ฆ

🍈 Ghost Sic: Rightโ€ฆ

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: There isnโ€™t a lot thatโ€ฆ wellโ€ฆ Honestly if Iโ€™m being honest with you, can I be honest with you?

🍈 Ghost Sic: Of course.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: I really donโ€™t think there IS a story. I think the WHOLE drama I mean Game is just a big action junkie playground DESIGNED to make you die and reach ghost mode. I think thatโ€™s the whole point. To die so many times, you have to be saved by some wack ghost mode that makes no sense with the rest of the game lore.

🍈 Ghost Sic: You know, Dal Geon-ssi I wasnโ€™t going to say thisโ€ฆ

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon : Say what Your Majesty?

🍈 Ghost Sic: Oh alright, Iโ€™ll tell you, you deserve to know.
I suspectโ€ฆ there is a bug, and I suspect that bug is actually an intentional glitch, which would line up with what you just saidโ€ฆ and I suspect that the glitch is in fact โ€ฆ wellโ€ฆ *looks conspiratorially around the studio* I think it is Jeffery.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: But who IS Jeffery?

🍈 Ghost Sic: Wellโ€ฆ Jeffreyโ€ฆ originally, Dal Geon ssi- he was just a game. But thenโ€ฆ he started to take on a life of his own.

🐔 *ghost dal geon gasps*: A life of his own? You meanโ€ฆ you canโ€™t possibly mean~~!!!??

🍈 Ghost Sic: Thatโ€™s right. He came to LYFE. And he started killing characters, just like yourself. First there was Hyun Bin. Then Ki Yong. Then! Jingoo died three times.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Three Times!

🍈 Ghost Sic: And thenโ€ฆ I was a victim. At first, I thought I was just sacrificed to appease the writing gods. But now, Iโ€™m not so sure. I have a theory, Dal Geon-Ssi.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: Do go on!

🍈 Ghost Sic: Every death, of a character, a theme, a story, of good writing, of good storytelling and of the brave sh☠tposting knights that try and uphold these dying traditions, is the result of Jeffrey. He is, the One True Evil, the incarnation of everything wrong with everything, he is the True Villain. The Greatest Metaphor and the one responsible forโ€ฆ my insanity, and your truly, truly horrific experiences over the last 12 weeks of game play.

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: No!

🍈 Ghost Sic: YES!

🐔 Ghost Dal Geon: NO! HOWEVER WILL WE BEAT HIM! HOWEVER WILL WE SURVIVE!

🍈 Ghost Sic: I DO NOT KNOW, GOOD KNIGHT. I DO NOT KNOW.
*Ghost Dal Geon and Sic turn and look dramatically into the camera, even though theyโ€™re on radio*

Ahhhโ€ฆ thank you for listening everybody.
