I'm bored, so I made a roleplay.

[Doc Monocle]

Baby Ashley nods. "Just got here. No adventuwes before."

A.R.: Hmmm... That means we need to start from the basics... With the power of technology, we find a safe place in the woods, where you can begin your training... (Screen darkens before they are in the forest)... It looks lovely, doesn't it?... Now, you can move in three dimensions. Get used to jumping and running around.

Baby Ashley runs around and jumps over a log. She then trips over a tree root and starts crying, making her lose 5 HP.

"Got a booboo!" she cries, pointing at a bloody scrape on her knee.

A.R.: Sorry about that. That is your first taste of pain... Speaking of pain, it is measured in H.P. up there... Right now, you only have 25 H.P. , but this can grow.

 

[alexxxela]

A.R.: Sorry about that. That is your first taste of pain...

"How I....heal?" Baby Ashley asks, sobbing. "Want it go away!"

 

[Doc Monocle]

"How I....heal?" Baby Ashley asks, sobbing. "Want it go away!"

<Hehe! Doing it this way certainly means more 'loading time.'>

A.R.: You can't heal yet, as you are not wise enough, but today is so peaceful, you also can't die. Mmm... I just reminded myself-- reminded myself about wisdom. Wisdom is measured in W.P. The more wisdom you have, the more skills you can attain, and I believe you have a new morsel of understanding, if I do say so myself!...

(Baby Ashley)

H.P.: 20/25

(NEW!) W.P. : 0 + 5= 5

... Look, your W.P. just increased!

<Sorry. Many issues are coming up on my end, and it took a while to add all of this information. I would do it in pieces, but was trying to allow the game to accommodate more liberties.>

A.R.: Oh, alright... but only this once!...

Baby Ashley: 《Status: Dirty ; H.P.: 25/25 ; E.P. : 23/25; W.P.: 5》

A.R.: (Flings the diaper away) Some will do it more readily than others... You just discovered the 'Speed' attribute. So here is how it works. Distances are measured in terms of how high you, Baby Ashley, can jump without items, skills, etc. For example, if you need to reach a mailbox 3J high, you need to reach a height above the ground as if you had triple-jumped to the highest possible height for a triple jump. This sort of measurement applies to ground movement too. Right now, your running speed is 2J/s, while your waddle speed is half of that. (☆)

Now about allies, For now, you may only have one, but you only need one. Here is your ally information:

A.R.

Bio: There once was an old hero...
Type: Everything
H.P.:Infinite
E.P.: 30/30 (A.R.: Don't look at me like that! I'm powerful, but old.)
W.P.: Do you need to ask?
Skill: Most Powerful Ally You Will Ever Have
​

A.R.: Okay, so maybe that is not the most helpful, but you will figure it out as you go along. Basically, "Type" indicates the general abilities and limitations of an ally, and "Skill" indicates a special contribution that a particular character makes. Since I'm an ally only for this battle, you don't really need to know mine. As long as they have the E.P., H.P., and W.P., your ally will help you in battle. Don't worry, the A.I. is so good, you can interact with them like you do me!... Let's head out...

Chapter: 'Baby Steps'; World 1: Forest of Gloom; Stage 1

A.R.:...Who goes there! (A Push-Over attacks A.R., hitting him with a skillet)... Ouch! FEEL MY WRATH! (Makes Push-over vanish, consuming 6 E.P.)... Hey, here's my T.V. guide! We got lucky. It won't always be easy... I'm going to watch T.V. at Goodness when this is over! There are five enemies left on the stage. Charge!... (They run forth... and then a cracking noise is heard in A.R.'s back. He slows down while Baby Ashley runs off the screen) Ohhho!... This... reminds me... Allies sometimes have little quirks that affect the game. You may find out about them at some awkward times, so try to predict what may happen based on what you know about your ally. In my case, I have no 'Bio information,' so it's my fault you had no hints... kind of... but then I'm an example, it won't do anything here... Ouch! Okay, I'm a bit old for this. I'm gonna go back to Goodness. You finish off the last five enemies. If you can't do it, return to the village by coming out the way you came... Are those axes?... Well, on second thought, you can clear this level by... Here's a list. I've struck any goals you aren't ready for...

[Stage Objectives/Highlights : (Primary) Destroy Hot Air Buffoon and Push-Over. (Question) Why are these stages being patrolled? (Reward) Destroy all enemies without taking damage. (Secondary) N/A, ]

A.R. turns around and walks away. He turns his head.

A.R.: I know what you're thinking-- 'Typical R.P.G.'-- but your enemies will be smart. This is a sophisticated game, you know. You have moves, but cleverness and an attention to detail are key. Trust me, thinking up shrewd ways of achieving a goal can lead to big rewards after clearing a stage. Rita will tell you more. I have a back to soothe (shakes television booklet) and a T.V. to watch... (He leaves)

A Hot Air Buffoon (Lev: 1; H.P. :2; Common Moves: Drop Rock) flies overhead 6 jumps (J) high, patrolling the area, followed by a Push-over (Lev 1. H.P.: 4; Moves: Rebound, Spring Jump, Pushing)

Distances are measured in terms of how high you, Baby Ashley, can jump without items, skills, etc. For example, if you need to reach a mailbox 3J high, you need to reach a height above the ground as if you had triple-jumped to the highest possible height for a triple jump. This sort of measurement applies to ground movement too. Right now, your running speed is 2J/s, while your waddle speed is half of that. (☆)

Now about allies, For now, you may only have one, but you only need one. Here is your ally information:

A.R.

Bio: There once was an old hero...
Type: Everything
H.P.:Infinite
E.P.: 30/30 (A.R.: Don't look at me like that! I'm powerful, but old.)
W.P.: Do you need to ask?
Skill: Most Powerful Ally You Will Ever Have
​

A.R.: Okay, so maybe that is not the most helpful, but you will figure it out as you go along. Basically, "Type" indicates the general abilities and limitations of an ally, and "Skill" indicates a special contribution that a particular character makes. Since I'm an ally only for this battle, you don't really need to know mine. As long as they have the E.P., H.P., and W.P., your ally will help you in battle. Don't worry, the A.I. is so good, you can interact with them like you do me!... Let's head out...

Chapter: 'Baby Steps'; World 1: Forest of Gloom; Stage 1

A.R.:...Who goes there! (A Push-Over attacks A.R., hitting him with a skillet)... Ouch! FEEL MY WRATH! (Makes Push-over vanish, consuming 6 E.P.)... Hey, here's my T.V. guide! We got lucky. It won't always be easy... I'm going to watch T.V. at Goodness when this is over! There are five enemies left on the stage. Charge!... (They run forth... and then a cracking noise is heard in A.R.'s back. He slows down while Baby Ashley runs off the screen) Ohhho!... This... reminds me... Allies sometimes have little quirks that affect the game. You may find out about them at some awkward times, so try to predict what may happen based on what you know about your ally. In my case, I have no 'Bio information,' so it's my fault you had no hints... kind of... but then I'm an example, it won't do anything here... Ouch! Okay, I'm a bit old for this. I'm gonna go back to Goodness. You finish off the last five enemies. If you can't do it, return to the village by coming out the way you came... Are those axes?... Well, on second thought, you can clear this level by... Here's a list. I've struck any goals you aren't ready for...

[Stage Objectives/Highlights : (Primary) Destroy Hot Air Buffoon and Push-Over. (Question) Why are these stages being patrolled? (Reward) Destroy all enemies without taking damage. (Secondary) N/A, ]

A.R. turns around and walks away. He turns his head.

A.R.: I know what you're thinking-- 'Typical R.P.G.'-- but your enemies will be smart. This is a sophisticated game, you know. You have moves, but cleverness and an attention to detail are key. Trust me, thinking up shrewd ways of achieving a goal can lead to big rewards after clearing a stage. Rita will tell you more. I have a back to soothe (shakes television booklet) and a T.V. to watch... (He leaves)

A Hot Air Buffoon (Lev: 1; H.P. :2; Common Moves: Drop Rock) flies overhead 6 jumps (J) high, patrolling the area, followed by a Push-over (Lev 1. H.P.: 4; Moves: Rebound, Spring Jump, Pushing)
--------------

<I'm sorry if I don't get something right or something I do doesn't work, this is kind of a lot to take in>
Baby Ashley thinks for a moment, and then jumps onto the Push-over. It uses Spring Jump to try to knock her off, but she jumps off of it and attacks the Hot Air Buffoon with the Thumbtack.

Dust Bunny, Succumbing to Venomosity's vapor breath, passes out while a dark clone of him breaks free.

Crust Bunny: (perks ears to intercept ShyHo's call. He speaks with a corrupted version of Dust Bunny's voice) Hehehe! In trouble! (Hacking, high-pitched shriek)

ShyHo: I highly doubt that, you sound fine. Who is this?

<That is fine. The game is supposed to be improptu while basically informed by mechanics. We can refine things as we go along to be as free as allowable by rules, which can be adjusted and appended anyway.>

(☆)

The Buffoon is destroyed, and Push-over falls to the ground, losing 2 out of 4 H.P. It gets up, running away.

ShyHo: I highly doubt that, you sound fine. Who is this?

Crust Bunny: Someone with excellent hearing... Heheh! (Salivates) Keep talking... (spits up three mini Crust Bunnys)...

Lenna: ShyHo, what’s wrong?
ShyHo: Someone’s impersonating Dust Bunny! (ShyHo hangs up on him)

"Bye-bye!" Baby Ashley says, waving. She is elated from winning her first battle, and gets the "Happy" status. She moves on, looking for the end of the stage.

A.R. is watching television when she returns.

A.R.: (Cough×4) Excuse me... Hello, Baby Ashley. So you cleared the stage?... No you didn't. (Looks up at a thought cloud)

[Stage Objectives/Highlights : (Primary) Destroy Hot Air Buffoon (Success; Trick pass) and Push-Over(Fail). (Question) Why are these stages being patrolled? (Reward) Destroy all enemies without taking damage. (Secondary) N/A, ]

A.R.: Before you can move to the next level, you have to clear the primary objective. Luckily, your progress is retained, but if you hit 'Game Over'... You lose all progress on a stage. That reminds me. You have three lives. I think you understand what that means...
It says here that you performed a trick (definition satisfied more strictly later). A trick is any way that you make progress using your means and the resources given to you without expressly being told to do so. Rita might be able to give you the longer, more boring version of that description... (Cough)... Across the street is Scopeworth. He's a harsh critic, but can tell you anything you need to know about the value of things. Whenever you need to, ask him, and he will tell you how to milk the game of every drop of value. I'm old and sometimes miss things, so if you take it to him, he'll actively look for the information... (Cough×9)...

"Why...?" Baby Ashley imitates him coughing. "All okay?"
