I agree, that actually does sound "exciting!" I mean, its not like there are thousands of little kids who used to simply imagine all these things around them, with superpowers and secret bases and things that aren't really there, cause little kids don't do that kind of stuff, they only do things with stuff that is already there and real.
Its not like as those kids gew up they ditched the imaginary games for stuff like board games and video games, not because they became less imaginative, but because they craved more of a challenge with rules and requirements,
Its not like this would be the perfeect solution for both having an imaginary realm you could play in with friends, while still keeping the rules and requirtements that you started to love for a challenge.
Its not like... its not like... wait.
...
Tell me, honestly, what is the difference between sitting in a log cabin outside , using agumented Minecraft, and the difference between sitting in a cabin you made, hile sitting on a cumpter? There are a few I can think of:
You are actually feeling like you are IN the cabin, especially if you use the google cardboard goggles thing like Gamelord said.
Two, you'd be building this in your world, instead of a totally different world.
and Three, it'd be a bit more emberrasing to walk around with goggles over your face or holding your phone up at awkward angles, but only because now everyone can SEE you be a geek, and no more emberassing than playing Pokemon Go.

Tressel had taken what little she had to be prepared, and standing in front of the man now as he talked to them about numbers and unity, she felt a bit more relaxed in her decision.
When he asked about questions, though, she raised herself up a little to lift her hand and get his attention. "I do have a few, but one of them stands out. What are we going to do once we've made our pacts? Surely, we can't just return to normal after something like that."

Greninja does a battle-flop, and a tiny splash of water hits Shepard in the eyeball. Ow.

Link tosses a bomb over his shoulder, and it accidentally hits Greninja instead. Oops.

And then the ninja frog follows up with a twisting backward flip-kick into Shepards face. POW.

Link attacks Shepard with a sweeping overhand blow of his sword, spouting his signature catchphrase: "HYAAH!"

Are we left with only cartoony characters? O_O

Tressel slithered along as fast as she could, the dust under her tail sliding back. She could hear Morgen's footsteps thudding along behind her, and she slowed for a bit. But she could see the rock creature reach the city, and start tearing through the wall. She watched it vanish into the buildings, as dust and rock rose into the sky.
Soon enough, she found herself at the gaping hole in the city walls. But by now the path carved through had broken down dozens of buildings and towers. The people were running, screaming, panic filled the air.
She didn't know where to start.
She watched as people took charge, escorting survivors towards the portals. She almost started pointing people in that direction, when the stone monster abruptly changed direction, and smashed right through them. She turned the other way, out away from the city, out the gates. She didn't even look to see who was left, simply rising as high as she could and pointing away. "Out! Out of the city!"
Morgen finally caught up with her, panting and gasping. "We can bring them to the village, south! It'll hold them until the monster leaves. We've got to move though, before it comes back!"
Tressel nodded. "Let's take them there, then." She led the small group, taking the outside the broken walls. Men, children, women and whatever small belongings they had grabbed.
She looked back over her shoulder, at the slowly crumbling city. They couldn't go back now. The only place left to go was south.
They traveled for three days, slow, trekking days. A few of them had the presence of mind to grab food, and Tressel didn't need to eat for a long time after that massive tournament feast.
But when they finally arrived, it was already swarming with refugees. The groups split, trying to find a place to stay.
Tressel felt like she had to wander. She felt restless. And Morgen didn't know what to tell her to help.
Sontar witnessed a large group of new arrivals. Among them, he noted, was a naga lady and a human man. She seemed restless, and he seemed at a loss. Perhaps they would be interested. He walked up to them slowely, trying not to seem like a threat, though he soon realized me mightve come off as creepy. "Hey..." He said, quietly once he reached them. "Some of us are thinking. The mages back at the city were doing almost nothing to the beast. A lot of us live years away from our lands, and we can't get back without the portals. We were thinking.... We need to find an Entity, or Entities. If we can form Pacts with them, then perhaps we can defeat the beast and go home. It sounds crazy, but it could work- what do you think?"
When the man approached her, she only really listened because she wasn't sure what else to do. And his plan... it sounded crazy. But she'd seen the monster. And she knew what a little bit of magic felt like, the bit of growing energy she could feel flowing sometimes. She'd wanted to do something about that beast... but she was powerless.
There was one problem though. She glanced at Morgan, who had only told her about the entities in fleeting moments. "I'm... I'm not sure. Do you think we could even find one?"
Sontar took a breath. "That's the main problem. But, would you rather sit here and do nothing, or try and do something?" Sontar was attempting to use the Naga's restlessness to try and sway her. "Would you be content to sit here and wait for someone else to solve the issue, or try to do something yourself? It wont be easy. We'll run into monsters, to be sure, and theres the chance that when we find an Entity, they'll say no. But, would you rather do nothing, or something?"
Tressel shivered. "No. No, I don't want to sit here. That feels wrong. Someone does need to do something about all these monsters. I met one of the monster slayers, and she was amazing, but frankly... I don't feel like any normal person could stand against that kind of beast, no matter their skill." She sighed. "Do you have a plan, then? How many people do you want to get?"
Sontar nodded. "Our plan is to meet up at the northern edge of the village at sundown, to talk and get everything straight. As of now, i know of me and one other, but we're both looking for people. You would make three," Sontar turned to another next to the Naga, the human man, "And you, four. What about you, though? You havent said a word."
Morgen is listening and watching the whole conversation, at a loss for words. He seems to be in a bit of shock at the monster, the desctruction of the city, and this sudden new world that's been transformed. "I... Ahm not sure. I'm too old for this. I can go with Tress, to make sure you're really all you're talking about, but I'm not going to be taking part in any of this Entity mumbo jumbo." He folds his arms, tapping with his missing fingers unconsiously, and mumbled again about being too old.
Sontar nodded. "I suppose that's understandable. But you," He turned back to the naga. "Are you fully ready to go into this? If you are, then come to where i told you. Be fully certain that this is what you want before commiting." With that, Sontar left the two and went back to the village to find more candidates.

Luigi is totally gonna make it this time.
And and you see that? Sceptile was totally gonna win, if it weren't for that stray energy orb

Aw, poor Hanzo. I like Kirby, I'll see if he can get through next, that lovable pink blob of bottomless pit.

Oh believe me, I so want to vote for Sceptile. So want to vote. But I guess I'll let my biases not rule this way around, and see who really should win.
So I'll vote Luigi instead. Pretty sure he still needs a vote.
