CURIE

Just in case someone interprets it wrong: The suicide bombing move Edward calls the "supernova" isn't ACTUALLY as powerful as a supernova. He just likes coming up with flashy names for stuff.

The laws of friction are omnipresent, even in the depths of hell, and so eventually Edward's wild ride came to an end with him crashing into the ground. Even after contact with the floor, his body slid several hundred yards, because you know, ice physics. His whole body was in almost unbearable pain; he hadn't felt like this since Enya hit him with a train. And yet, the thought of how ridiculous he must have looked, bouncing between the walls like some sort of pinball machine, caused him to laugh despite the agony. He laid chuckling to himself for a minute or two before realizing he should get up and get moving. But at the slightest movement, every muscle he had screamed in protest. Were any of his bones broken? He couldn't tell right now, and if they were should he continue on anyway or go supernova? Having parts of his body not working right would slow him down considerably, but on the other hand he didn't know if it would slow him down enough to warrant dying and waiting to respawn. And he didn't want to lie here until he could move again, only to find out that the damage was irreperable and he would have to go supernova anyway. Well, he was on a slippery, icy floor, so maybe he could move his body actually moving his body. In a similar manner to how he pushes himself upwards to fly, he pushed himself sideways, and his body slid across the cold floor. This was awesome, he could move around as much as he wanted with almost no effort! Only problem was that he couldn't see where he was goi- BONK He had apparently been moving faster than he thought he was, because going headfirst into the base of that wall made him forget all about the pain in the rest of his body. With a loud yelp, he was back on his feet rubbing his throbbing skull. He eventually shook the headache off and realized he had a bit of a problem: No not that he was lost, he knew he was gonna get lost anyway. It's that so far, all he's seen is blank walls of solid ice and empty corridors. There wasn't really anything down here, so what would he take as a souvenir? Perhaps if he broke a chunk of ice off the wall, it would never melt in the same way that rose from Lust never withers. These walls looked pretty solid though, and completley smooth, there was nothing about them to "break off". Perhaps he could make a dent with the Falcon Punch. The Falcon Punch was thing he came up with back near the end of the 4th circle, a teqnique inspired from a certain space bounty hunter from a video game. In the game, the hero "Captain Falcon" would somehow set his fist on fire before punching the opponent. Edward can't actually make "fire", but you know that energy stuff that makes up his laser beams? Yeah, he basically surrounds his fist with that stuff, and it pretty much acheives the same effect. He wasn't sure if it could break off a chunk of the wall, but he's tried stupider things right? Heck, he did a much stupider thing just a minute ago. He faced the wall. He clasped his hands together, his left hand grasping his right, which was curled up in a fist. He drew the fist back, and poured just enough energy into it to set it ablaze. "FALCOOOOON" he shouted, as he brought it forward to collide with the icy wall. "PUNCH!" He didn't realize what was wrong until after it was too late. His right hand had not become a seething ball of heat like it was supposed to, it had become a seething ball of cold. So cold, in fact, that the moment it touched the wall, it became encased in ice, frozen solid. He stood there for several seconds, just staring. Trying to process what just happened. "...well crap."

Just did some research on that "1 dollar a pokeball" image and it's fake. Someone made it up as a "I hope the game's not like this" thing, and of course people assumed the worst. It should have been obvious by looking at the Vulpix model in the background. What is that, from Stadium?

K I changed it to "where he was simply told she was 'safe'. Not sure exactly what that meant, or if it even meant 'safe for now', but he trusted the information."

Okay to be fair, it could very well end up being like contests in ORAS, where you have an option to replace the game's background with whatever your camera's seeing at the time. As a matter of fact, I expect at least that. Also, a recent interview confirms that it at least won't have any ads.

Actually I am, Rose can confirm it. Plus, check the characters post again, my guy's there now.

I somehow didn't notice this RP was back for two weeks, but I'm here now. I hope you didn't mind me slightly altering Enya's end, Rose? I kinda had a whole subplot going with her and Edward and wanted it to at least have been resolved since she's no longer in this story. As for the superpowers backfiring thing, I've got an idea for that and it'll happen soon.

After seeing how unlike the Divine Comedy this version of hell was, Edward was hoping that the 9th circle would be completley different than the icy wasteland depicted in Dante's epic. Why? Because he haaaaates the cold, and as he found out in the 4th circle, his superpowers don't protect him from extreme temperatures. But alas, while still pretty different from what the mideval poet described, the final circle of the inferno was just as cold as he had feared. Not that it hampered Edward in any real way, being a Boy Scout he had naturally done plenty of things in the cold. It was just really uncomfortable and annoying. Oh and there was also the whole "don't trust anyone or anything" thing, but he expected everyone to turn on themselves anyway, ever since finding out only one person could get their wish granted. You're probably wondering what his goal at this point is. For the first three circles, he was in it for adventure, but in the fourth circle, where he first died, he was given a mission: Destroy Enya's possessed teddy bear. He eventually caught up to her and knocked the demonic thing into the River Styx, and Enya died on the spot and never respawned. Well, that's what he thought until the next time he was killed, where he was simply told she was "safe". Not sure exactly what that meant, but he trusted the information. He was given a new mission then: keep the whole wish-granting thingy out of the wrong hands, whether by stealing the wish for himself, or by stalling the bad guys until someone who ISN'T a complete psychopath takes it for himself. Despite spending a year down here (he didn't know it was a year, he had lost sense of time) his backpack and its contents were more or less the same as when he entered, mainly due to the fact that if he died and respawned, it reappeared with him. It had 8 new items in it though, souveniers from the previous circles. A book from Judgement, which used to hold a shadow monster but no longer does, a rose from Lust that appearently will never wither, a flan-like dessert from Gluttony that will similarly never go bad, what used to be gold coins from greed but were now melted chunks of gold (a dragon happened), among others. But by far his favorite was from the 7th circle, a blade from the time he hung out with Atilla the Hun himself. It wasn't anything different from a regular blade, aside from the regenerative properties that everything else in his backpack has, but in the hands of a superhuman it was a thousand times more dangerous. So anyway, back to the current situation. Due to being held up by that idiot Venedico Caccinosomething back in the previous circle, he was very late, but he was here now. He was about to rush into the maze as fast as he could, and almost didn't see the warning sign, but then that thing with Kenny and the weird black walls happened, and he deduced from there that trying to fly over those things was a bad idea. In his moment of hesitation, he noticed the sign. Don't trust even the most reliable things... does this mean this circle can alter or even take away his superpowers? Well, he could ponder its meaning later, for now he should get movi- "Hello there. May i please inquire as to who or what you are?" Wow, Kenny sure woke up quick. "It's me, Edward. Remember? We had that awesome tag team duel against Cacus? Well according to this sign here we shouldn't trust each other upon entering the maze, so I think it's best we enter seperatley. I'll go first. Bye." And with that, he blasted straight into the maze at blinding speed. Up ahead was a wall that led into a 90 degree turn to the right, and he knew he couldn't turn on a dime like that at this speed. He could try to slow himself, except you know, ice physics. So instead he had a crazy, stupid idea. A moment before impact, he flung his fist and struck the wall to his left with all the force he could muster in that short time span. He still hit the wall in front of him, but the force of hitting the other wall sent him careening to the right. As he rebounded backwards from his collision with the front wall, he hit a wall behind him, and rebounded off that- and before he knew it, he was ping-ponging between the walls like a Smash Bros character at 999% damage. If he wasn't a superhuman his bones would've been crushed by now, and even with superpowers he feard for his bones' integrity. But it got the desired result: Get him really far into the maze in a really short time frame.

No, not even that. The phone would have to keep track of Pikachu's exact spot using the GPS, then magically be able to tell what things in the picture would be in front of that position. And it would have to update all this in real time as you move the camera. Even if technology could somehow do that using some complex depth perception algorithm (which would require more than an Iphone would provide), different angles and lighting would cause for all sorts of visual misinterpretations. The game would be more buggy than Sonic 06, and unlike Sonic 06 no amount of extra time in production could conceivably fix it.

All you people Are talking about not actually seeing the app's gameplay, and no one noticed that the had a freakin tech demo? Yeah, they had a tech demo at the announcement. And big suprise, it sucks. http://i.imgur.com/mu8VVBY.jpg If you seriously believed you'd get anything like in the trailer, then you don't quite understand how to technology. The most you could have hoped for was Dream Radar, and you aren't even getting that.

As I predicted, the game's been leaked and there's an LP on YouTube. Go ahead and spoil yourself if you want, I know I won't.
