Phase
2012-06-28, 11:19 PM
There comes a time in every man's life, when he has to choose on which side he stands... The side of the man, and the side... Of the Ghost. It's become my job to make this choice easy... by completely and totally annihilating any ghosts with which I come in contact. They call me Phase Jones: Ghostslayer. [Cue awesome theme song and accompanied crash of thunder.]
After two long games, ostensibly horror and ostensibly good, I had grown weary. "No more," I said, hanging my fedora on the hat-rack formed from the bones of fallen clones. "I don't care how much you're paying, senator, I'm out of the ghostbusting business for good." The senator stood from my chair, picking up a pen and writing down a figure on a scrap of paper. He pushed it over to me, rain beating down on my windows like an internet forum-goer on a deceased equine. I read it.
"Nine million dollars, you say?" I said out loud, allowing anyone in the audience to hear. "I don't know why you had to write this on a paper when you could just tell me the offer, considering we're the only ones in the room." I said, blatantly ignoring the professional spectral assassin hiding rather poorly inside a physics object in the corner. "But alright, yeah that's, uh." I looked down at the paper again. "That's something." I stared at the senator for a moment longer. "...What aren't you telling me, Jack?" The jazz music from downstairs echoed up through the floorboards, making everything even more noir.
The senator paused and then, voice rough as gravel, spoke. "You'll be taking on a partner on this one, Phase." He said. "And he's-" The windows flew open, lightning striking and thunder clapping. On the windowsill stood. "YOUR BROTHER. ALSO A GHOST. WHO YOU KILLED. DUN DUNNNN"
And so F.3.A.R. was born. Yes, after playing F.E.A.R. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153893), and struggling through its sequel (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182112), myself and trusty companion Worira will take up the mantle of Point Man and P-Dawg, in a frankly unhealthy display of consolification and loss of integrity.
