Game: Mystic Messenger
Rating: Fluff as far as I can tell
Game I put him in: P.T.
*Zen: "So what is this?" Zen sat by you as you put your legs on his lap.
"P.T"
"What does that mean?" He asked as he lightly massaged your feet.
"No one really knows." You sighed in comfort. "This is just the demo for it and unfortunately the game was canceled. But luckily I never deleted the demo. You can't download this anymore." You smiled as you loaded up the game. The soothing PS4 music disappeared replaced with silence.
"You feel exclusive don't you." He smiled wryly at you.
"Yup!" You handed him the controller.
"What? I'm playing?" Zen took it hesitantly. "You're normally pretty…controlling over video games."
"Yeah yeah," you waved your hand dismissively, "if you have a complaint email it to me at black slash no-I-don't-care."
"That's really long. Wait…that's not even an email!"
"Press the x button already!" You poked his ribs.
"Gaha! Okay…"
The game opened up in a first person view as a man, based by the hands, woke up with a cockroach running by.
"Ick." You ran your hands over his arm like a bug. "Kill it."
"I can't. Plus I hate that crunching noise its body makes when you squish it." He began exploring the empty room before going through the door.
It opened up into a hallway of a nice home. You reached back and turned off the lamp hugging **Kanny in your arms as he slept comfortably. There was a radio playing the in distance reporting on how a father had killed his family. He could hear the sound of something metal squeaking back and forth. Zen's grip tightened on the controller. There was something unnerving about this. He glance to look at you watching as you gently petted Kanny's fur, you stared intently at the screen, the beginnings of a smile tugging at your lips. He continued exploring running into two locked doors, one was in front of some windows and one of them being the front door, and walked down to what might be the basement. He went through the door then the next waiting to see stars leading to a dark abyss.
"Uhm…" And they were back in the same hallway. He looked back but the door behind him was locked. "Oh don't tell me." Zen muttered as you stifled a laugh.
"Uh oh…" You adjusted yourself locking your ankles together.
Zen made his way back to the door he just tried to walk through…but it was locked. "…" He didn't like this game you picked. The door behind him suddenly began to shake as if someone was trying to break through it. He walked up to the door slowly but it wouldn't budge. He walked back down the hallway were the game first started but that door was locked too. He looked around the room closely zooming in on random objects.
ZZAP!
"Wh-what was that?"
You shook your head while smiling.
"Ugh you know don't you?"As he turned back he noticed the door what made everything loop was open. His nerves weren't going away. Once again the room looped as he entered the door. As he made a b-line to the looping door he heard something. A bang. He walked by the door in front of the windows.
BANG BANG BANG!
Zen breathed in sharply noticing his looping door, now becoming a sort of solace to him, was wide open. As he ran towards it, it closed locking itself completely. The door in front of the windows slightly opened behind him as a cluster of roaches crawled out. "I think…now's the time to stop playing." Zen muttered.
"Nope."
Zen sighed as he walked towards the door. Well, it wouldn't open so maybe you're supposed to inspect it? He zoomed in on the cracks of the door. And then he saw it. If only for one second. A face of someone smiling pulling the door shut. Then the sound of a crying baby.
"What was that?!" Zen straightened up as you lifted your legs slightly. "No…I don't like creepy ass ghosts like that." He handed you the controller but you turned away.
"We're not done yet~!"
"Ughh…." He continued on but then he heard something. A woman crying distortedly. "Wh-what is that?" Zen inched closer towards you instinctively. He could see a woman standing under a red swinging light with a baby sobbing uncontrollably. The woman's head was moving frantically, like a glitched out possession. "I don't want to move."
"You have to." You muttered.
"I really don't want to."
"You can do it…" You whispered slowly. You placed your hand atop of his as you moved his character forward.
The woman rushed towards the screen screaming.
"GAH! Okay that was fun." Zen opened the PS4 menu screen. "Yup. That was a great idea to play before going to sleep…On a rainy night…Ha ha ha."
"Don't be scared…" You chuckled before sighing as you looked at the screen. "Aw…but we didn't get to finish the game."
"That's okay. I think I get the picture." He chuckled forcefully. "But still…" he reached out to pet Kanny. "It's too bad they cancelled the game. It looked like it would have done well."
"Yeah but you never know, maybe they'll pick it up again or maybe not." You shrugged. "But aight. Are you ready for bed?"
"Tch. If I can…"
"Hmm? You know what's best about playing scary games with me?" You smiled.
"What? The fact you relish in other peoples fear?"
"There's that buu~t." You held his hand. "I get to hold you reeeeaaaallly close tonight! I have magic go-away-nightmare powers."
"Reeeaaallly close huh." Zen chuckled. "I like the sound of that."
*Zen…why did you do this to me? I had to re-write his story three times. First I thought of doing an FMV horror game. Scrapped that it took too long. Then I thought of doing Until Dawn. I wanted a theme were it actually used actors but truthfully that game disappointed me.
**Kanny is the puppy I made cannon in my head in my story A New Addition to the Family. His full name is Kaneki Ken from Tokyo Ghoul
