Shoji groans, pinching the bridge of his nose. "All of that for a pun?"

  • [X] Plan: Where we drop?
    -[X] Check your map and see how far you are from the place Raido set up.
    --[X] If it's near: "Since today's the big day we should probably get to the place Raido set up to bunker down."
    --[X] If it's far, or you don't remember where it is: "Since today's the big day we should probably get back to my grandparents place. Raido set up a place to bunker down, and we may wanna get a ride there."
    -[X] Finally reply to the Unknown Number: "I presume this is Eris? As foolish as it may be, our current plan is to attempt to capture as many alive as possible, and I am not sure your... ward would be able to appreciate that goal. Also someone else I have managed to recruit may take offense with you personally, and may be able to act on it."
 
823: Ritual.
[X] Plan: Where we drop?

"One sec, I need to check something real quick!" You tell Shoji as you open your Gauntlet's Automap, and check to see how close the--

You stare at the screen of your Gauntlet blankly.

No one told you where the hell the safehouse was.

You close your eyes, and take a deep breath. After a long moment, you finally exhale.

"Since today's gonna be... Big, we should probably fall back to Grandma's." You answer, already turning around, "We'll need a ride there, anyhow."

Kohaku nods before following you. "I'd rather like to avoid being out in the open today, y'know?"

"You know, I'm really glad I don't." Shoji answers, catching up to you, "I don't think I could handle that kind of pressure..."

(EVENT ROLL: 86)

As you quietly walk down the street, you feel a growing sense of...

...Unease? No, not unease perse, but--!!

The area around you fades away, and is replaced by darkness. You pass everyone their weapons as quickly as you can, and as Kohaku takes hold of her mace, you hear a voice from... Everywhere.

"Human of red." The male voice declares, "You have been chosen." Your ambusher finally reveals himself as...?

The upper half of his body reminds you of a Greek sculpture, especially his helm, and he holds a dagger in his hand. His lower half, however, is almost like a boulder, marked with astrological symbols that don't really mean anything to you.

"I am known as Mithras, deity of the sun." Mithras reveals to you, "You are quite an intriguing specimen, indeed. You will assist me in one of your rituals, so that I may better understand the world I have returned to."

"What kind of ritual...?" Shoji hazards, gripping his sword.

Mithras smiles, "A ritual that has endured many generations, and people all across your world race to partake in, of course! One that shall test your limits, both mental and physical!" As he opens his arms, a blinding light fills the room! "Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to play...!"

The lights finally relent, and...?

"WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!" The demon audience cheers as the stage is revealed around you.

You blink. "What."

"Our first contestant, of course, is this red girl here!" Mithras explains to the live studio audience, "Next up, Eris's disciple herself, Victoria Walters!"

Victoria locks eyes with you instantly. In the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of Eris. "Do play nice." She commands.

"And finally, hailing from the Stream of Life, the lady Anahita herself!"

You glance one spot over from Victoria, and see a demon woman with an ivory complexion, and flowing blue... Hair. You think.

"Must I play along with your little rite?" Anahita shakes her head, "I have other matters to attend to."

"Yes." Mithras states plainly, "Now then, we shall commence with the first round!"

The board behind Mithras lights up, revealing...

___-__!
CATCHPHRASE​

"What the f...?" Shoji mutters.

[] ??????????????????????????????
 
...Unease? No, not unease perse, but--!!
"per se"

The upper half of his body reminds you of a Greek sculpture, especially his helm, and he holds a dagger in his hand.
Did you mean "head"? I don't recall any version of Mithras wearing a helmet.

"What the f...?" Shoji mutters.
I'm with Shoji on this. April Fools was over a month ago, so what the hell is this?

[X] "Did I forget to wake up this morning? Is this a dream? An actual dream?"

Best I've got.
 
[X] "Jack-pot!"
-[X] "How did I know that...?"
Sorry mate too long. Also not how you play the game, gotta wait for your turn. Otherwise you're giving away the answer.

Btw the answer is probably Hee-ho

[X] "Well, the fastest way to get this over with is to play." The answer is probably Hee-ho. Assuming that you are using the actual rules, on your turn, spin and guess H.

Welp, this is insane. Who knew that this story would have a game show with mythological figures?
It is!

This is actually an idea I've had stewing away in my brain for the better part of a year now! Figured I might as well try to put it to paper!

Okay. I've read and seen some weird things in my life.

This is definitely up there.
But isn't it fun?
 
I always mix up Mithra and Mithras, but yes Mithras has a helmet.

Mithra has a snake.

Why did it have to be snakes?!

[X] Quickly examine the wheel to make sure Mithras got that right.
-[X] If it looks like the show's, spin. Might as well get some macca out of this.
-[X] If it has something questionable, like "lose your soul" or "horrible curse", immediately say, "I'd like to solve the puzzle: 'Hee-ho!'"

Let's be careful with this!
