Henry Stickmin: Playing the game (Part 3)
I don't have any notes to put here, so I'll just respond to a review. Their name is SHSLseer, how do you even pronounce that name? XD
"it might be a good idea to just stick with the trio for now. Maybe bring in the General as a guest appearance, but it might be a bit difficult balancing all of the personalities together. if there's an ending in particular that you want certain characters to be a part of, then bring that character in as a guest (or something like that)
this is just my idea, but its your fic at the end of the day, and its incredibly entertaining thus far, and I'm sure it will continue to be so, no matter what you decide on doing!"
DabbyCorn: It's definitely difficult to balance the personalities if there's too many people , too many people would be 5, so, some characters may go for others to join.
I will also not add in all fails, but definitely the fandom's favourites and some others. When the ending is done, it's literally done. No going back for all of the fails.
In the end of this series, they'll have to get all of the fails in order to correct the multiverse.
Enjoy -
—Escaping the Prison (Ending 2)—
"Okay I restarted it, now let's se-" Charles was cut off by someone who fell from the roof, the roof is still undamaged, but we don't question faulty logic here.
"Ughhh, my head hurts" said the new guy.
Henry recognises this guy, he's Dave!
"Yay! I'm free from the airship" said Dave in happiness.
But Ellie and Charles still have no idea who is this guy, so Henry signs "It's Dave from when I escaped the prison, I don't know why he's here though"
"Ah I see, hello Dave" said Charles, but continues "Welcome to our room, we got the money from the Government since we work for the Government"
"H-Huh? You three a-are governors?" Said Dave, he's obviously anxious.
"Well maybe not that title, more like secret agents" said Ellie.
"Two are secret agents, and I'm a pilot" said Charles.
"O-oh kay then, why am I here though?" Said Dave nervously.
"We don't know, but you can join us in this game about Henry" said a Charles, but he continues "We have 2 seat slots left so you can pretty much join in"
Dave sits down next to Charles, awkwardly.
Dave is a very clumsy type of guy, always forgetting to do stuff and banging into stuff, dropping stuff.
Dave is also a bit awkward, sure, being trapped inside a tiny room for so long can make anyone forget how to speak. Plus, Dave has trust issues now, even though Charles gives him good vibes.
"Let's go play now" said Charles in excitement.
—Skipping "cake" cut-scene—

•Cellphone
•Drill
"So, e-even if I did check the package, I w-wouldn't still notice it's things inside it. Fate hates me" said Dave as he started crying, Henry wonders what the Toppats did to him, Henry felt sudden anger.
"Come on Dave, you're here now, not with the Toppats" signed Henry to Dave.
"Dave do you understand sign language?" Said Ellie as she noticed that he looked clueless, but Ellie continues "Wait what? Dave was with the Toppats?"
"I know some sign language b-but not all, just the alphabet. And yes, I was captured by the Toppats and they jailed me up for m-months" replied Dave, still very nervous and uncomfortable.
"Henry how did you know he was with the Toppats?" Said Ellie, she was clearly surprised.
"While I was going through the airship, I heard screaming and a oddly familiar voice, which sounds like Dave" signed Henry.
"Uh, w-what did he say? Sorry, I'm not very good at sign language, but I un-understood somethings he said, li-like he said my name a-and 'airship'" said Dave awkwardly.
"*sigh* he said that he heard an odd screaming and an familiar voice while he was going through the airship, and he knows that it was you" said Ellie.
"Oh- he heard that...?" Said Dave, as he's embarrassed now. "S-sorry"
"No need to apologise Dave, because there's nothing for you to be apologetic about, getting fired from your job and getting kidnapped isn't your fault" replied Charles as he gave Dave a warm smile.
Henry wonders how Charles knows all this but didn't question since he doesn't have to explain all of that
"Th-thanks, but uh, what are your names?" Said Dave, he's getting less nervous now.
"I'm Charles, and this is Ellie. It's great to meet you" said Charles as he gives Dave a handshake.
Dave returns the handshake, "it's good to meet you too. Gosh, you all are so kind"
Henry was wondering why was Dave screaming in the first place while he was in the airship but decided not to ask.
"Let's play now, we don't want to keep the readers waiting" said Charles, while he winked at you.
"W-wait wh-what? What readers—
Henry picked something up, it was small but then it turned big, he then shot it at the door, it turns and it goes through the pipe, turns to Henry's face and Henry screams, then explodes, then dies.
"Woah, that's uh, brutal" anxiously Dave said.
"Yeah, and painful too. It was all in slow motion at the end and Henry screamed" said Ellie.
Charles seems worried but he doesn't say anything.
Henry glances at Charles to check if he's okay, and Charles was mostly okay.
Charles clicked the option "Cellphone" and says "Let's see what you can do with a cellphone"
Henry takes the phone out, strolls to "Attorneys".
"Wait, who's he calling? Who are the 'Attorneys'?" Said Ellie.
(9th of September, 12:53PM. District Courtroom No. 4)
"Oh, he was hiring a Lawyer. That makes sense" said Charles.
"Witness, please continue your testimony"
(Witness Testimony text appears dramatically)
Winston Davis starts to talk "Okay, I was riding alongside my partner in the armoured van, when suddenly" dramatic pause... "we spotted a bag on the side of the road" another dramatic pause "We got out and eventually decided to throw the bag in with the others, we didn't know there was someone hiding in there"
"This is already too overdramatised" said Ellie, she also chuckled a bit.
"Yeah, it's a good touch" said Charles as he chuckled a bit.
"OBJECTION! So the defendant crawled into that bag in order to break into the bank, is that correct?" Said the lawyer.
"Is it not obvious?" Said the Prosecutor.
"Is it really that obvious? I have proof that the defendant didn't hide himself in that bag" said the lawyer confidently
"Well then, what are you waiting for? Present this evidence already" asked the Judge impatiently.
(Evidence option screen pops up)
"Wait what? We have to choose? I was so concentrated on listening to them that I didn't know that this was still a game" said Ellie.
"Haha, same" said Dave.
"Me three" said Charles.
"Me four" signed Henry but nobody saw.
"Anyways, let's see, what should we choose? There's 6 items to choose from." Said Charles.
"I mean, the doctor's note thing would be useful evidence" said Dave nervously.
"Yeah but the money sack would be better proof, because it says in the description that 'how did he tie the knot from the outside of the bag', plus, he can also use that information after he says about 'the knot outside of the bag'" said Ellie intelligently because she's the smart one.
And everyone else agrees
The lawyer shouted "Take that!" dramatically
The Judge was surprised and says "Is... Is that the bag the defendant hid in?"
"Yes, what else would it be?" Said Ellie.
"I mean, there's nothing wrong with double checking" replied Charles.
The lawyer replies "Yes, but there is one thing that's been bothering me. If the defendant was really hiding in this bag then...how did he tie the knot from the outside of the bag?!"
"Woah, I never saw it, but how?" Dave was surprised.
"Wow Henry, you have some pretty awesome skills" said Charles, impressed.
"H-how is that even possible??" Ellie said as she was thinking how would someone tie a knot from the outside when you're inside.
Prosecutor was dramatically shocked "What?"
The lawyer continues, still shouting "If he was inside the bag, it would have been impossible for him to tie the knot from the outside!"
The Judge was confused and then asks "But then, how did he do it?"
The lawyer answers the Judge's question "It's simple, he didn't"
Everyone was suddenly eating popcorn out of nowhere as the intense scene was playing, "Wh-who would it be if it wasn't Henry?" Said Dave while eating popcorn.
Prosecutor was shocked, then asks loudly "What?! What are you saying?"
The lawyer answers his question "I'm saying my client wasn't hiding in that bag at all, he was stuffed in there...by this very witness!" dramatically at the end of the sentence.
"We're gonna frame that guy? That's cool" said Ellie as she chucked some popcorn into her mouth.
"No, not cool. He's completely innocent, I'm sure he'll defend himself" said Charles.
Ellie sighed, Charles is loyal to the law.
Winston Davis is confused, but also worried that he's getting pictured as the bad guy "What?!"
"Or not...but that 'what' did seem pretty convincing that he has no clue what the lawyer is talking about" said Charles confidently.
"Sure" replied Ellie. Man, this popcorn was delicious.
The lawyer takes his confusion to his advantage to keep going "As you can see by this doctor's analysis, the defendant took quite the beating. While he was in the bag, he was unconscious!"
Charles spit out his popcorn "Wait, Henry was beaten up?" Charles said, he was kinda worried.
Henry signed "I was really poor back then, couldn't afford bandages and teenagers would often harass me" Henry looked back and wondered why teens would specifically pick on him, then mentally shrugs because he's has quite the money right now, won't have to deal with that anymore.
"I'm sorry about that" said Ellie
"Yeah, what she said" replied Charles as he pointed at Ellie.
Henry signed "Thanks guys"
"No problem!" They both reply starts the same time.
"H-hey what did Henry say-"
Prosecutor is shocked, then says "This...this is absurd!"
The lawyer carries on "The witness attempted to dispose of the body, so he left the defendant in the bag, knowing he would drive by on the way back to the bank. When the witness and his partner passed the bag, he convinced his partner to throw the bag in with the others."
The Judge looks confused then asks "But, why would he do that?"
"This guy is good!" Said Ellie as she eagerly watched the screen.
"Guys, my p-popcorn ran out-"
The lawyer looks confident and then answers the Judge's question "Why? To dispose of the body of course. There are millions of bags of money in that bank and the witness knew it would take a long time before the victim was found. But unfortunately for the witness.. "
(flashback to Henry getting out of his bag and triggering the alarm)
"Henry would've been screwed if the camera saw his evil mad face expression" said Ellie.
Henry shrugs, it's his favourite sign if you couldn't tell.
The lawyer is still talking dramatically "His victim woke up and tried to escape from his tomb. He was arrested on the spot and the witness thought everything was over. But it's coming back to haunt him now!"
"Dave, you said you don't have any popcorn left earlier?" Charles said.
"Y-yeah"
"Have some of mine" Charles said as he gave some of his popcorn into his bowl.
"Th-thanks"
"SHHHH, ITS GETTING GOOD" shouted Ellie as she shoved more popcorn in her mouth. She also was leaned forward in her seat
Winston Davis has nothing to defend himself and then shouts dramatically "You Can't...He Can't...This...THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
"Come on man, defend yourself" said Charles in frustration.
"SHHH WHAT DID I SAY?" said Ellie.
(5 Minutes Later)
The Judge seemed satisfied and then says "Well, that certainly was an interesting trial. However, I am now ready to deliver my verdict. I find the defendant, Henry Stickmin..."
(The words "Not Guilty" appear on screen and Henry looks happy)
"Best frame ever" said Ellie.
Then Charles said "That was awesome, but it wasn't awesome that he framed him"
"Guys, my p-popcorn ran out again"
Henry was chasing after the money lorry"Some people never change"
"What is that supposed to mean?!" Henry signed aggressively.
——Lawyered Up——
The entire lawyer scene thing is just... copied the script from a website, which was the old game and not the remake I think, and then I changed it up a little XD
But yeah, 95% of the chapter is still made by me, and I also hope that you guys don't care about that and just want the frickin' reactions.
I'm gonna take a break from writing fanfiction for a week or two, because school has started so, goodbye for now :3
Updates are monthly now ;-;
PS: Sorry that I suck at promises
