"Well, this is just pefect! What a load of crap!" Troy yelled, then proceding to go on an exceedingly loud and long rant about how much his life sucked before tripping on a rock mysteriously placed by some divine force in an effort to get him to just shut the hell up.
"Ow! Hey wait, if this is like an alternate Pokemon, then maybe we can break out! Chrysis, I summon you! (Or something...) Now, use Snake Squeeze to break us out of here!"
The snake creature stared in disbelief at the stone wall before turning to look at Troy in a manner that suggested that it didn't think too highly of the boy's intelligence.
"Oh yeah... you can't really squeeze a wall, can you?"
No kidding, moron.

"Well... maybe Kyoura here can help us out! Go on, use that... uh... Sakura Strike thing!" The petals at the base of the lizards next flew towards the wall... and bounced off without so much as leavinga scratch. "Hmm. That's disappointing."
"So... what now?"
"I guess we wait and hope they don't kill us?"
"I-I could help you out, if you want..." said a small voice as a small head peeked out from behind a corner.
"Hey, you're the kid from-"
"Keep it down, ok? Or do you want to get caught excaping?" he interrupted as he stepped out from behind the corner, holding a ring of big, dungeon cell type-keys.
"Oh yeah... if I never have to see that armor-wearing psychopath again, it'll be too soon."
The boy began to fidget with the lock as he quietly added, "Big sis? Aw, she's not so bad... just a little, um..."
"Isane? Paranoid? Homicidal?" he got a disapproving look, "...Extreme?"
"Extreme. See, our parents died, and she was left in charge..."
"Freakish monsters, ancient prophecies, and warrior princesses... any more cliches you wanna throw at us?"
"...so she's trying to make sure we win this war at all costs. And don't complain to me; I didn't write this crap." And with that, the iron doors quietly slid open.

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Colar, meanwhile, had gone back to patrolling. And he had found something quite interesting.
He ran up to the girl, panting slightly. "Strange creatures are coming from the north. I can't explain them, I've never seen them before..."

Look at this signature. Isn't it the funniest and most hilarious signature you've ever seen?

"Crappy writing... So is this a video game?"
"And how do you know about it when everyone else thought we were crazy?"
"Quiet down, ok? We're still in the dungeon..." the boy led the escaped prisoners down a hall way and to what appeared to be a brick wall... that is, until he stepped on a rock in the floor and it shot open. On the other side of the wall was the forest the gamers recognized as the place where they first arrived. "And now we're not."
"And now that we're not... explanation please?"
"You might want to sit down, because we could be here for a while... First of all, my name's Ken, and my big sister's Kyouko. Prince and princess type of thing, if you hadn't figured it out already. It's weird, though, because Big Sis..."
Silver was beginning to get sick of hearing about that psychopath, so he interrupted Ken in hopes of getting some information that was actually relevant. "And you know what a video game is because...?"
"Oh, right. I know all about this world' myths and legends... what other conclusion could I come to when half of the legends referred to themselves as 'cheat codes'? This place was supposed to be a video game... but something went wrong, or else you wouldn't be here like this. We need to figure out what, and how to fix it, or else the unthinkable will happen..."
"And what's the 'unthinkable', exactly?"
"I don't know! I can't think about it, because it's unthinkable! ...Now listen, you guys are the only other people that know what's going on... so I'll need your help to fix it. Are you with me?"

((MK... I assume the girl you're character speaking to is Izzy? And speaking of Izzy, since Opal is out I decided to change her text colour to violet... It will it easier to tell her text apart from Troy's))
"Wait, wait, wait. Hold up." Troy stood up suddenly. Everything that had been happening had been steadily overwhelming Troy, and the news that he was inside a video game pushed him over the edge. "What do you mean we're in a video game? How is that even possible? how can living, breathing people be turned into bits of code?" before then Troy had been simply annoyed and frustrated, but now he was beginning to freak out.
"Woah, calm down-"
"Calm?!? How can I be calm?!? My whole life just got taken away from me, and there's no way to get it back!!! I may as well be dead!!!" Troy turned his back to the others and began walking away.
"...Where are you going?"
Troy paused for a moment, but then continued walking. "I don't know. Somewhere that isn't here. Somewhere that doesn't have prophecies about people falling from the sky and saving the world. I don't know if it was about me or not, but I'm no hero. I'm an anti-social teenager who just lost everything he ever care about." With that, Troy started walking faster and disappeared into the forest before anyone could stop him.

((If I'm not mistaken... no one had posted here since March anyway! So nothing was Time Warped! Hooray!))
"Well. That was a rather unfavorable turn of events."
"I'm in, if nothing else! It sounds like fun! And speaking slightly more rationaly, what have I got to lose?"
"Good. So maybe... you'll help me convince everyone else that we need your help? And that we may be able to get you back to your world later on?"
Silver took a brief moment to think about his history with 'convincing' people of anything. Of failing miserably in several presentations in school, of getting side-tracked while writing a persuasive essay and talking about the discrimination against Care Bear Cousins, of failing to get his own room because he inadvertantly suggested what horrible things he could do in it. "Sure, I'll help you convince them! Let's go!"
