[CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE]
SURVIVAL SIM // CO-OP
...//You are shipwrecked on a deserted island with nothing but the clothes on your back and whatever amount of wit you possess. There are plenty of resources available for the harvesting - berries, rabbits, heck, even the flowers are edible in a pinch. A deep gloom hangs over the island, however, even during daylight hours. Somehow, you get the feeling you don't want to be without a light source after the sun goes down. Can you find enough to eat, locate a suitable shelter, and gather enough resources to keep your campfire going before dark?
CO-OP: Work together to gather resources, cook dinner, and survive the night!

PLATFORMER // CO-OP
...//You find yourself the star performer in a theater filled with a myriad of intricate, maze-like death-traps. Your mission is to use your wits and acrobatic prowess to leap, climb, drop, and cartwheel to safety within the allotted time-frame. If you perform well, and collect enough of the secret tokens hidden throughout the level, you will advance to the next stage. If you perform badly, you'll have to try again. The only way out is by advancing forward, so failure is not an option!
CO-OP: Help your partner leap, climb, drop, and cartwheel to safety! The odds of beating the stage within the allotted time are much better with a friend.

FPS // CO-OP
...//A mystery lurks in an abandoned underwater city. The citizens are gone - fled, dead, or worse. Those who remain are mindlessly antagonistic, drug addicts whose humanity has sloughed away in the face of their addiction; they are mere shells of the people they once were, and they won't abide your trespassing. Your only option is to kill or be killed as you advance through partially flooded buildings, abandoned shopping malls, and empty city streets. There are a plethora of weapons at your disposal, from bludgeoning weapons to firearms. Ammunition is unfortunately less so, a scarce luxury in this underwater death-trap. You might use it as you find it, but it may be more wise to save it for the fight up ahead. It's probably going to be a big one.
CO-OP: Explore the watery city side-by side, watching each other's backs and murdering the heck out of anyone who tries to murder you!

FARMING SIM // CO-OP or PvP
It's a peaceful life in the valley. Everyone in the little village knows everyone else, and crime is something that happens in other places. Life is simple and slow-paced, and that's how the villagers like it. However, the annual autumn Harvest Festival is coming up, which means competition between friend and foe alike is at an all-time high. It's up to you to grow the biggest, bestest pumpkin and show up all the other country bumpkins on the village square floor.
CO-OP: Work together to raise the biggest pumpkin anyone has ever seen! Combat various dangers to your crops together - moles, mice, wild deer, everything that goes on four legs is keen to ruin all of your hard work, and your chance for glory!
PvP: Competition is at its most fierce between PCs, obviously. Sabotage between participants is frowned on by the village council, but only the sabotage they hear about.

ACTION/ADVENTURE // CO-OP or PvP
Darkness overshadows the land, and the only hope of combating it rests firmly upon your shoulders! Take up a sword and shield and stab, slice, leap, and parry your way through a land filled with menial side-quests and dangerous mini-dungeons. The only hope for restoring order and light to the world is to rescue the far-away princess, whose royal authority is the key to evil's defeat and world peace.
CO-OP: Stab, slice, leap, and parry your way through dangerous obstacles side-by side, watching each other's backs as you do so!
PvP: To the one who manages to rescue the princess first go the spoils! Probably! Stab, slice, leap and parry your way through the world's dangers, stabbing your opponent in the back somewhere along the way if you're able to do so!

[And for the moment, she's just hanging out as he holds her up]
Nice catch!
[That's helpful, Maya, throw out one-liners while you're about to sorta kinda die]
But yep, you got me! You might wanna back up a step, and maybe pull me out, the hole might get bigger!
[At least she's small and easily portable?]
no subject
But hey, at least he'll try his best! And that's all that really counts in the end, right?
Right???]
You think?
[He may be just a touch sarcastic there. Just a little bit.
In a normal, non-game situation in normal gravity, he might have some difficulty lifting her up...Even though she's tiny, his upper-body strength isn't the greatest; an unfortunate side-effect of working for the past couple years in low-grav environments.
Thankfully, the game mechanics make it super easy to lift her up! So he does that, with a quiet little grunt of effort, and soon enough he's got both of them back on their feet at a fairly safe distance from the trap hole.]
Next time, maybe try jumping. Just. Y'know. A thought.
no subject
[She dusts herself off once she's on her feet and gives him a big grin, completely unphased by her near sorta death experience. Someone's peppy.]
Nah, I think a jetpack would be better. Do you have any?
no subject
N...o...? I don't think we get jetpacks until the later levels. It's just one block. It'll be an easy jump. Watch.
[So easy even a guy who's scared of heights can do it. Not that she knows he's scared of heights, but, details. He approaches the edge at a reasonable speed and demonstrates how jumpable the obstacle is by leaping neatly over. He touches down on the chasm with plenty of clearance to spare, and picks up the gold coin that had nearly lured her to her doom.]
See?
no subject
Oh, not bad, not bad.
[She preps herself to jump]
But wait until you get a load of this!
[Except Maya's jumping to the same square he is right now. What do?]
no subject
[Oh god, is she...is she getting ready to jump?
She is.]
Sh-shit...!
[He stumbles backwards in an effort to avoid her landing right on him, but an elegant font of beauty and grace he is not; whether or not they collide is pretty much entirely in her hands at this point.]
no subject
Geronimooooooo----!
[And she's definitely going to land on top of him. This ViVid session is off to a great start--- again, it's a good thing she's tiny]
Oof!
no subject
[She may be tiny, but he's kind of a weenie and already off-balance from trying and failing to get out of her way...so when they collide it's mere seconds until he's on his back on the ground.
This would be a pretty accurate metaphor for his life up until this point, except for the part where there's a cute girl sitting on him. It's doubtful she'll be there for very long, though.]
A little. Uh. Some warning? Would have been nice? Ow.
