Housepets!

Aight, things that can happen:
I say warn Bravo about the monster and to jump into the river with them, they're less likely to take real damage that way. Maybe get some hypothermia but that's all

I'm going with warning Bravo.

Warn Bravo to jump in the river with them and pray that a merciful being will keep them alive and together in the river and beyond. (Is CHAOKO such a being? ;^^; )

Hypothermia is actually very dangerous, but I think they're at less risk than, say, a human.

I agree with this course of action; if they all huddle together, they're less likely to drown, though they'd probably get some bumps and scrapes. The current seems somewhat fast; perhaps the monster would be unable to keep up.

I agree with Douglass, the monster is more dangerous than the river (well, depending if it has stones on it, or if they get drowned, but I think it's better to pray for some luck in the river than being attacked by that huge monster)

I'll also go with warning Bravo to jump into the river for the reasons that were already said.

I don't expect you to be quick with your decision. There's no tricks or traps this time. This is exactly as it is described. This will determine the course of the rest of the game. Nothing is set in stone, not yet...

Echo: BRAVO! THE RIVER! JUMP IN THE RIVER! ITS STILL HERE!

Bravo: WHAT?! WHY?! WHAT'S STILL--

Bravo, out of curiosity, looks around the river to see what Echo is talking about. It is at this moment he notices a sound he hadn't noticed before, but now that he has heard it, he's sure it has always been there. He turns around to face the foe he had encountered along the way. In his panic to save Charlie, he hadn't considered it might come back for him and him alone. To his disliking, he had come to another realization, one that had left him paralyzed, in disbelief at himself and what was happening. All in this one moment, he began to process it all at once, and all he could do is regret...

Echo: BRAVO! BRAVO!!!



Luckily, this warning allowed him to prepare for the worst, he braced himself as much as he could, covering his face in both fear and stubborness as to what he knew might unfold. Even still, the power of the beast was too overwhelming for him to take, and was sent crashing into a nearby tree. He was in incredible pain, he could hardly move, this was a feeling he'd never experienced before. But deep down this was nothing compared to what was going on. No matter how awful he was feeling, there was no way he was going to let this thing torment his family, they aren't safe yet. If he was going down, he wasn't down until this thing was done for...

BRAVO IS ENRAGED.







"You've done it again", Charlie thought to himself. "You've gone and made a mess of things, you put yourself in harms way just to prove a point, and now your brothers are paying the price for it." Of all the slip ups Charlie has made, there has never been one this severe. He only wanted to prove he could be helpful, that he could be independant, that he could hold his own. He wanted to be good and strong, just like his brothers. He wondered why any of them were even doing this, what reason could they possibly have to risk their lives for someone as worthless as him, perhaps it would have been best to just do as his parents wished and just leave them all behind...

...but, at that moment, that question had begun to ring through his head, over and over. Why WERE they saving him? He knew of them to have good judgement, he could trust their decisions. Everything they did was for a reason, as reserved or rash they may be at times. Why did he have any reason to doubt them? Why is he doubting them? Why is he putting them through this?! This isn't something they'd do out of simple obligation, they cared about him, they wanted him with him, all faults accounted for. Dinner proved that more than anything, if he were to leave, they'd be heart broken. They'd be more hurt than anything he could do to them, they'd never leave him behind, they'd always be there for him!

Although... it seems that might no longer be an option for him. Bravo is standing face to face with some huge terrifying monster, and Echo is slowly falling head first into the same River he was in in. They don't understand the danger they're in... but he did. Neither Bravo or Echo can swim, but he's been practicing a little. If anyone were to fall in, well... maybe you'd survive. But, the rocks, the debris, the dibs, would that even matter? But, if you let go, as tough as that thing is, there's a chance the two of them could at least hold it off, but there's no way Bravo could fight that thing alone.Surely Mom and Dad know what's going on by now, right? They must have told them. They gotta be comming!...right?

You want to be there for them, you want to make them happy, but is it right to risk their lives at your expense?... No, you're not risking their lives... they're doing this for you. This was their choice, you know they have something planned, you know they did the right thing. You know they can save you. You trust them... but how much is trust worth in a situation like this?

There's no more time to think... you know whats right... they know what's right. You love them. They love you. You can't do this to them. You have to do this for them.

Charlie: I have to do this... it's for them...

1) Let go.
2) Don't let go.

Charlie is in too poor condition to survive the river. Bravo is severely poorly equipped to fight the bear. Echo can't swim, and as mentioned, Charlie can't support them. We have no back-up. If any fall, chances are strong that we'll lose them, permanently.

But I'll be ****** if we stop now. We came too far for him, and I intend to go home with all three, even if we're limping and half-blind. And if that's too much to ask, then at least save the one we came for.

My choice; Don't Let Go .

We can change fate.

I'll try to be logical.
It looks like they're all dead if he continues to dangle there since it'll pull Echo into the water and leave Bravo with the beast.
Letting go might give them the greatest chance at survival, no matter how much it'll hurt them.
Unless some character suddenly pops up to help (could we have that?), I think the best thing to do would be to Let Go.
It's slim, but Charlie might be able to survive the river or find some inner strength to pull himself up later on

I was gonna go with option 2, but after some time thinking.... I'm going with option 1.

... let go

DONT. YOU. DARE.

all or nothing, together or not at all.

Jokes aside, ----> LET GO <----

Render wrote:It looks like Charlie can't hold on much longer anyway, so soon the decision will be not ours anymore and it'll happen anyway... To let go now saves a bit of strength that may be useful in the river for trying to get out somewhere. I don't really want that, but it may be the best to Let Go.

This is not a false choice, I'm being straight forward. You are actually choosing this. You either change history or it stays the same.
As I said earlier: There's no tricks, traps, or loopholes to this one. Your choices have narrowed down. You are staring at 2 possible endings and know (or could probably guess) which one does what.
I thought it would be kind of a jerk move to not explain the situation as much as I can without spoiling anything completely, you'd all have swayed heavily to one side or another. ^^;

If he lets go, he dies for sure. If he holds on who knows what could happen.

This time it is hard to select one of the two options

If we go with Don't let go, the monster could attack Echo, making him to fall with Charlie/ making charlie to fall, something that seems like won't happen since the monster is facing Bravo, but it can happen anyway, and since Charlie is exhausted, he would end dying by all the obstacles in the river if we let him go.

So I'm going with Don't let go (I could change it since I'm not sure of it )

Oh dog. Each choice has an uncomfortably high chance of death. And there’s no improvise......... DON’T LET GO.

Don't let go!! There's still hope

Cerberus didn’t pick up two ghost puppies on the side of that river - if Charlie lets go, fate will almost certainly repeat; I say hold on. But gosh darn it, Bravo, jump on the thing’s back and bite down, HARD! Paralyze that beast fom the neck down!

That's the comic's canon, but not necessarily the game's canon. The game could veer off into an alternate universe of the comic, in more ways than one.

Also, Bravo is a puppy and badly injured. He undoubtedly has back/spinal damage, maybe even a concussion. I don't know how well he can jump right now, even on adrenaline.

...
...
...You know what? We came all this way; I want to take every chance we can to save all three.

Hold on, Charlie!

Now wait a minute, how long did the parents continue arguing after Echo’s frantic outburst? Surely they’ve decided to check on him by now? And he left a metal rod pointing the direction they went. So where are they?

…
...
…
Don’t let go.
I say this because I figure that, in the end, it really seems like both Echo and Bravo are willing to straight up die for Charlie. I feel like, if they themselves got to choose, it would be all, or nothing. Not to mention, something like this is going to haunt them for the rest of their lives if they fail, and at this age? That is going to be the majority of their lives.
Plus, who knows? Maybe their parents are like five seconds away from showing up. We really don’t want this to end like The Mist, do we?

Hang on. Rescue rides !!!

I'm guessing "a week or two" turned into "a month or two"?

did you try salvaging the harddrive itself and stuffing it into an external drive enclosure? worked for me when my laptop died.

Aw, it’s alright - anything by you is worth the wait.

honestly i'd be fine with stick people on lined paper as long as it's interesting.

Agreed!

Will this be continued?

I've read till this topic and hope the story continues! It is very exciting!
I hope nobody minds the question.

Heh, cheeky little devil.
