Chapter 1: that’s a major yikes
It was just your average day for Jason, nothing special nor nothing out of the ordinary. Just another average day but enjoyable day. Jason himself doesn't consider himself special either, on the average side of things. Average height, weight. He's has a light shade of brown skin, brown eyes with curly hair. And currently our protganist was hanging out with the few friends he had online.
It was your typical weekend for him, late at night. Playing video games with the BOYSSSSS! Currently they was just playing GW2 in the year 2024. He was ashamed to admit this but he was super late to the party in getting GW2 or Garden Warfare 2.
He played the first one a lot as a wee little sapling who's brain didn't understand what was going on but found what was happening fun. In GW1 he specifically mained Peashooter, specifically plasma pea. For zombies it was soldier all the way, currently now in GW2? Things still the same except for now on the plants side main sunflower, specifically Vampire sunflower and commado corn
He didn't really care if was she good or bad, Jason was a simple man. Who enjoyed simple things and if he just likes to play this specific character then that was fine by him. Alien sunflower a close second for him, as for zombie side he still enjoys using Soldier. More specifically the ranger one zombie.
Ah sorry for rambling, let's get back on track about his session with the and say this with me now…the BOYSSSSS! Currently they're in a match, three of them. Jason friends names are Victor and Chris,
The game mode they was currently playing is the Gnome one, best explanation Jason can give you to keep it short is basically like Search and destroy from COD but with extra steps. The Gnome a bomb and you need to bring it to three locations and let it blow up, other team needs to do the same while protecting their location. Rinse and repeat 3 times or destroying more than the other time.
Right now they was on the plants team, Jason was playing Commando corn while his friends Chris and Victor was playing Peashooter and Mysticsunflower respectively. There match could've gone better. As of right now both teams was evenly matched, one location left oneach side that needed to be destroye. Both teams being stuck in overtime making little to no ground.
"Alrighty then I'm moving into Gamer lean guys pray for my back" Jason joked, leaning forward on his basic office rolling chair. He heard a snort from Chris, while Victor responded with their usual banter.
"What difference does your gamer lean do for your game performance? Your ass" Victor joked, it was easy to hear in his voice he meant nothing harmful by it. They all been friends for a good couple years now, it was tell when one of them joking or not.
Jason of course responded maturely like the reasonable young adult he was, a response so powerful his deceased ancestors would tell how proud they are of him when he join them in the afterlife.
"I'm gonna do your mom" was the epic legendary reply that spelled doom for his foolish friend, all the while during their banter the match raged one. Jason making his Commando corn fire upon a scientist zombie player who is carrying the gnome towards the plant team last garden that needed to be destroyed for the zombie team to win.
Of course Jason underestimated his friend ignorance who now was a turned foe for his response forced Jason to be on the defensive. "Not if I do yours first.", Jason chuckled while he made his commando corn throw his butter barrage in hopes it'll get a kill or two.
Only for his butter barrage to bounce off the peashooter that move infront of his commando corn making the attack land way out of its intended destination making it completely useless.
When Victor said this, he was currently healing Chris who was just using a regular peashooter having gotten the game fairly recently. Chris was firing upon an Allstar zombie who was using his placement cover . Chris who was listening to his friends mature talk replied next, turning Jason and Victor 'mature' debate into a three way brawl. "Not if I do both your moms and claim them for myself."
He said as he tried mustering as a serious tone in his voice, it didn't work when a few moments later he laughed when Victor laughed like a maniac goblin who's high off of every drug in fallout.
"You dare use my own spells against me potter?" jason couldn't help but say while he get absolutely anhilated by the chemist who teleported into commando corn face as Jason was unable to stop the Chemist from blowing his load all over his commando corn face -aye YOOOOOO- killing Jason character in a matter of a few shots.
"Damn dude that Chemist anhilated you, should've been better at the game. Skill issue much?" Jested Chris as his peashooter then got blown up by a Soldier zombie rocket. Making him sigh. "There is no way I'm saving myself from a Chemist who teleported into my face, especially from a player who knows how to play the character. By the way how's that rocket tasting hmmmmmm?"Jason said to his friend by the end with a teasing tone as they both respawn.
Chris was going to reply but Victor next response made their brains briefly stop working as Victor Alien sunflower moved besides them, having died as well and respawned. Jason nor Chris was prepared for the conversation to take a wild turn. "Would you guys fuck a sunflower if you could?"
"….its a fucking PLANT! Who even asks that?" Chris asked with disbelief, momentarily forgetting to help the team as he turned his character to face his friend who's sunflower looked at his peashooter and just did an emote.
"Come on, you mean to tell me you wouldn't? Weak, undisciplined. Mid even." Victor replied back to his friend, while Jason can't see Chris face he can still picture the look of exasperation and disbelief.
"Yes I wouldn't! It's a PLANT! How would they even work?! What hole?! It just has a mouth! Why would you even consider that?" Chris's asked Victor who was chuckling finding Chris disbelief on what he asked to be highly amusing.
Jason also found it amusing, he decided to add fire to the flame of the conversation. Why not? Why shouldn't he mess with his friend and blow his mind with the forbidden knowledge of the dark side of the internet. The dark side of the PVZ community….
"No no, he got a point Chris. A hole is a hole dude, I'm assuming you haven't seen sauce of PVZ. It exists though I warn you with caution to not go that route unless your super curious" as Jason spoke he used Husk hop making his commando corn go in the air firing upside upon an Allstar and engineer which both died due to already being wounded greatly by the other plants on the team.
Jason could picture the scene in his head as Chris briefly went silent, he could see Chris doing the one meme where he blinked slowly as if processing what he heard. His reply made it all the more hilarious to Jason and Victor. "I can't believe I just got flashbanged by words, never even convinced such a possibility but here we are. Can we just talk about something else this shit getting weird"
Even as the conversation took a weird turn Chirs took some amusement in it from the sheer absurdity of it. As Jason and victor both agreed that it was time to change the conversation to something interesting to them. Like who would win in a free for all involving all the souls protagonists.
It was a fun conversation for the friend to distract themselves from the fact they was going to loose the match. "So we're in agreement DS1 protagonist is going to loose right?" Asked Victor as he got killed by the Allstar imp punt.
"I don't know if he'll go out first or so easily, Poise and armor stats actually work in DS1 so if he rocking Havel armor or Tarkus set he can just tank whatever thrown at him and use it as an advantage" replied Chris while he went to revive Victor.
"Well, I know Wolf from Sekrio has the best chance winning considering all the bullshit he can parry" said Jason next, he was going to continue only for his power to go out. Leaving him briefly surprised and then annoyed.
yup just an average Saturday with the boys doing dumb banter, playing video games and having fun.only for that to be cut short by a power outage.
It was a surprise to be sure. Not a welcomed one at that for Jason, letting out another annoyed sigh he would check his phone that was on his dresser nearby only to be met with more frustration. no service. Couldn't even tell the gents he can still at least be up to text. With nothing else better to do Jason figure he would at least get some shut eye, he would get into bed and get comfortable and achieve something easy that you my dear readers struggle to do
Fall asleep within a few minutes, unlike you he doesn't suffer from INSOMNIA! HAHAHAHA- sorry that was uncalled for. Another apology for breaking your 4th wall, bill me the damages.
And so Jason slept comfortably in his bed, entering a deep sleep that would last for hours. Unaware in the slightest that his life would change forever, even if he was…there was nothing he could do to prevent it.
And he was so close to promoting his commando corn to the finale rank, now being unable to. That's quite unfortunate, yikes.
