Pit exe 2

by Pandora's Labyrinth of Memes

The continuation of Pit exe. It follows the format of the first one, "they", "them" is in reference to the friend and protagonist because their gender is unspecified. This part 2 went through so many changes and I really had fun making it. Hope you all enjoy this story! There's a Pit exe 3 as well. And I finally drew the picture after not completing it for the past 9 months!

2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Foolishness

(Friend's PoV)

I walked home from the game place with my new, cool, and super cheap game! I was stoked about how it was only $10, that's gotta be the lowest price I ever seen! But then there's the thing my friend told me, and I promised not to play it...

My ol' buddy said this specific Kid Icarus Uprising game copy was cursed. But how? Was this one of those stories you hear about on the internet? Can a game really be cursed?

In any case, it's probably a joke. That nerd's pulling a prank on me aren't they? Haha, I'm still gonna play this and they can't stop me!

I went to get my 3ds and I opened the Kid Icarus Uprising game case. Heheheh, time to play this "cursed game" and prove to that skeptical friend of mine that it was just their imagination! It's only a video game after all!

I popped the cartridge in my 3ds and began to play. It was beautiful! I loved the graphics, the characters, and especially the mechanics of both air and land battle. I don't even understand what my friend meant by "the game is cursed". Used and slightly damaged maybe, but other than some lagging it was fine.

Before I realized it, time flew by quickly and the sun already had set. I played the first few chapters of the game multiple times. I wanted to slowly progress so I could explore every part of the game before moving forward.

Though on the third time I played Chapter 1, I heard Pit's voice glitch out. It sounded like "you liar" between words in his conversations with Lady Palutena. That was strange. But I didn't mind it, maybe the audio got mixed up and it's because this is an old, used game.

So I kept playing, and I had collected a lot of weapons, powers along with a ton of hearts. To the overachieving victor goes the overachieved spoils! I was happy with it, and decided I should sleep now. It was already 2 AM, which was about how long I'd stay up to anyways.

I exited the screen with the weapons to toss eggs for idols before powering down. But I had a strange feeling that I couldn't explain. While the game loaded I actually decided to pay attention to the screen, it felt like something was telling me to do so in the back of my mind.

It looked black at first, but the longer I looked at it the more I realized it was not a pitch black screen. It was more of a burgundy-red color over the whole screen. Could the sunlight have distorted this earlier? I think I saw Lucina's Sword from Fire Emblem in there with other unrecognizable things. This wasn't Fire Emblem though, how could that be?…

Soon enough, Idol Toss had loaded and then I tossed the eggs to get Idols. I got a Monoeye, Fortune Bow, and Cursed Palm Idols, all Idols that I never got before. They were fun to look at, but I just turned the game off because I wanted to sleep. I hope tomorrow my friend who said not to play it won't be mad at me for playing the game.

"Eh, they probably won't even know, if I have to I can just reset the data." I thought to myself, and finally I went to bed.

(Author's Note: In case the Point of Views are confusing; the protagonist will usually be in 1st person, unless it's from the friend's PoV or someone else's. Right now it's night time for the both of them and still the friend's PoV.)
