The Oregon Fail

(I am playing the interactive survival game,’The Oregon Trail’, with my sister watching. I have named the characters after my family, and we are out on the road.)

Game: “[Sister] has a fever.”

Me: “Wow, bad stuff happens pretty quickly in this game.”

Sister: “Eh, it’s not that bad.”

Game: “You lost [sister].”

Me: “Dang, we lost you.”

Sister: “Well, go look for me!”

Me: “I’ll send out a search party.”

Game: “You found [sister].”

Me: “Yay!”

Sister: “Oh, thank goodness.”

Game: “[Sister] died.”

Me: “Oh.”

Sister: “You’re kidding.”

Me: *cracks up* “WE LOST YOU, THEN FOUND YOU, AND THEN YOU DIED.”

Sister: “And this is the span of what, an hour in-game?”
