===Aoe’s Board Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

You are in East Castle Communication Tower, a Top Page of the castle interior.

The current time is 12:17 AM.

You are in a circular stone space with a diameter of 7 yards.

The only lights are the three windows on the east, west, and south and the lightbulb on the ceiling.

There is a door behind you to the north. The door is currently blocked by tables and chairs.

You are currently alone.

Aoe: “Hey, Monkey. Hurry it up!”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

There is a parabolic antenna outside the southern window. There is a communication device by the window.

Monkey is on the wooden table holding the device. He is operating the device with its cords in his mouth.

There is a loud pounding on the metal door past the tables lined up behind you.

Aoe: <If only I could use my fists, I could easily fight them off!>

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

The pounding only shakes the door. It does not open.

Above and below the hinges, nails removed from the chairs have been driven into the gap between door and doorframe. You did that yourself earlier.

Aoe: <Why does a cutting-edge virtual world do everything so anachronistically?>

Aoe: “Are you still not done?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Monkey looks back your way and raises his right foreleg. That is meant as an OK signal.

Aoe: “It’s working!? Way to go! Have a reward!”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

You pull a x5 chocolate bar from your backpack and toss it to Monkey.

Monkey perfectly catches it between his forelegs.

But he tosses it back after seeing the wrapper.

You catch the returned chocolate bar.

Aoe: “Hm?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

The returned chocolate bar is x5 milk chocolate flavor.

Aoe: “You don’t like milk chocolate? But I doubt you like the bitter kind.”

Aoe: “Then how about the white chocolate?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Monkey shakes his head.

Aoe: “What about strawberry flavor?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Monkey nods his head.

Aoe: “That one is mine, you fool.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

You throw the bitter chocolate bar at Monkey.

Attack assessments are not made in regard to your own Mouse, so the bar hits Monkey, sending him rolling along the table.

Monkey weeps while lying on the table, but he still tears open the paper wrapping and begins eating the chocolate.

Aoe: “What a pain. Now, how do I use this communicator?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Monkey raises his left foreleg while weeping with his back turned.

A transparent keyboard appears.

'''<Voice data requires more data and can take longer. Word mail recommended>

Aoe: “I’ve never been good with keyboards, but I guess I have to.”

'''<Opening word mail window>
