So, is the announcer just making them fight for amusement? - Games

[quote]“I give you /permission/, Ellis honey,” Rochelle said, a bit of iron in her voice. She was not fond of wishy-washiness. “Or if you want, you can just sleep there in the doorway, with the storm just a few inches away, and all the zombies, and witches…” as if to accentuate her point, the hoarse, pained sob of a witch rang out from somewhere beyond the house. Ellis jerked his head back and stepped into the room, visibly startled. “Alright, fine. Lemme just scoot in…” in a few seconds Ellis had tossed off his shoes and hat and crawled under the blanket with Rochelle, keeping to the edge of the bed so as to give her room. [/quote] wait...

[QUOTE=NotPigeon;18826925]:smithicide:[/QUOTE] Just a bit more! Scout and Demoman are left now. I wander the halls, trolling for them. If Scout could still speak, I probably would have found him much faster. I do find him, eventually. He is hiding in a room that we all know about, one that he goes to whenever he’s feeling especially upset and lonely. He whimpers and curls up into a corner, and squeaks at me. It’s the closest he can get to a desperate plea for his life. But we both know better. He looks so hurt before I sever his neck against the wall with Shovel’s blade. Such a shame. I loved that boy like a son. I’m not sure how long I wander around the base, looking for Demoman. It feels like it could be days, but my sense of time is so badly damaged from years underground, I don’t even know anymore. Eventually, I find my way back into the room with the Announcer, and there he is, laying each of the bodies out, on their backs. I just walked in on their funeral. Demoman sees me come in, even without his peripheral vision, and looks at me.

I mean, there was a lot of disturbing and depressing stuff in that fic, but I always thought that part was the worst.

He needed to savour the fact that the engi and the scout had a great father son relationship. Shouldn't have just been the extremely sudden death.

I am very glad I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about.

I guess I'm lucky in the regard that I don't get traumatized by things like evil fan fictions and rule 34's and the like. Sure they depress me a tiny bit but they are easy to forget about. I can still play TF2 without getting sick.

I read "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" before I read the TF2 one. Didn't shock me that much.

[QUOTE=SpudOfWar;18829821]I am NOT following that link.[/QUOTE] It has a lot less to do with what you think it does than you do. It has a lot more sad and creepy than disgusting.

Making it go fast creates a more detached tone; we get the sense that the Engie feels like he [i]has[/i] to and shouldn't dwell on it, which makes the twist at the end even worse.
