When you're a videogame writer, the majority of the work you do is 'barks', random phrases a character says during gameplay. This is notoriously painful and dull work, since having to write about a single action without repeating yourself is a writer's worst nightmare.

Let's give you fine folks a taste of that.

The Rules
1. Everyone counts down from 100.
2. There's a bark, a piece of dialog in a videogame describing something with multiple variations.
3. If you can write a variation of the bark, the number goes down by 10 instead of just 1.
4. You cannot repeat another post or fail to convey the bark; you have to make sure every detail of the bark is conveyed. It also has to make sense in the context of a videogame.
5. If you reach zero, the counter resets and you pick the next bark, as long as it's something that could be in a videogame and happen a lot.

I'll begin.

The bark is: A door is locked and requires an orange key.

"Won't open. I'm going to need an orange key for this."
90.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

"Damn locked,orange keys open these thing's right? Time to start looking." 80

[Coolrune206]

"Only an Orange key will fit this."

[MidnightJaguar]

[In ridicules fake british accent] Alas! it seems that foul door doth require a key of orange to open. [In normal voice]Ha! I told you I could sound like Shakespeare.

[Lermfish]

You require an orange key to enter this door.

[Fniff]

Remember to keep a running tally on the numbers, fellas. Currently at 50.

[MidnightJaguar]

I'm no locksmith, but I'm pretty sure that an Orange key is the only thing that's going to open this door.
50

[Swords-Otter]

drat! locked, I thought I saw an orange key around here somewhere... 40

[MidnightJaguar]

I'm getting a vision from the spirits, a vision that will tell us how to get through this door, the secret to opening this door is orange and key shaped, the spirits said we can figure it out from there.

[Coolrune206]

(Villain's voice))

That foolish hero cannot bypass my well locked door, as long as he cannot find my Orange Key

20

[Harry Baldman]

"I stand here puzzled,
My progress stopped for now.
Orange key goes here."
10

[Trapezohedron]

Wait, seriously? Orange Keys? I thought keys were universal? Damn, this won't fit!

The protagonist needs to kill Von GenericVillain, and will not shut up about it.

"I still need to find and kill Von GenericVillain! For my village!"

90

[SOLDIER First]

"Von GenericVillain won't hurt anyone ever again once I've found him."

80

[Coolrune206]

"Von GenericVillain threw a coin in my town's well, contaminating it accidentally. For this, he must die."
