The Cusp

Mystery Game

I'm behind a warehouse of something with a group of people, when I see 8 tiny purple skinned orcish creatures appear on the ground in two rows. They are about the size of smurfs, in two rows, and holding weapons. Of course I'm like WTF? I approach to get a better look, but they disappear.

The tiny warriors reappear somewhere else, and again I try to get closer to them, and again the disappear. After this happens about 3 or 4 times, I ask the others if they see them too. They do see them, and conclude it must be some sort of holographic projection, pointing out security cameras on the walls. But none of the cameras line up with all the spots they are appearing, and I can't find any other sources that might cover all the different angles.

So I pick up a rock and throw it at then little dudes. I miss a few times, and other times they disappear before the rock hits them. One girl starts throwing rocks too, and manages to bowl them over, knocking them down. She approaches them and picks up a tiny rocket launcher that one of them dropped, then they disappear again.

We go inside the warehouse and it's like a gym inside. Everyone starts running around. Suddenly this booming voice starts talking to me and says "Since the girl was the first to pick up the rocket launchers, she gets a boost of speed." The poor girl wasn't prepared for her sudden speed boost, and runs right into a wall.

Now I'm really confused. The voice implied we're in some kind of game or test, with rules and goals we know nothing about. I'm having trouble making sense of it all, so I stay alert for any clues or surprises that may be coming our way.
