Please go here for the MSPFA Mirror! This is a reboot of a previous adventure, posted here for visibility/audience influence. Leave Suggestion! This comic is planned out with major events, but deviation from those events though suggestions is the fun of it! The first 19 pages will be posted here, but then continued on through suggestions or plans. EDIT: Announcement! there is now a Splitstuck discord: discord.gg/PagAzSg feel free to join anytime!
Splitstuck
A young man lies on his bed. It just so happens that today, the 16th of March, 2017, is the young man's birthday. Though it was 14 years ago he was given life, it is only today that he will be given a name!
What will the name of this young man be?
Wake Up.
I mean, okay. That's not a name or anything but whatever. So now hes awake, good job. And we didn't even get to attempt to name him "wake up." Surely now is a better time to bestow upon him a name, right?
Enter name.
Wise guy, huh? Try again.
Try again.
Examine room.
Your name is FINN. As previously mentioned today is your BIRTHDAY, though most would argue that that is only HALF of why this day is SPECIAL. A number of CRUDE and NOT SO CRUDE drawings are scattered around your room.
And lets not forget about your INTERESTS, of which there are PLENTY. You enjoy playing the LATEST NEW GAMING SYSTEMS, all of which you are KICK ASS at. Particularly you love a good game of ALCHAMIGHT 4, the latest and potentially last in a series made by HUNTER INC. You enjoy a good game of SPORTS, particularly BASEBALL. Your favorite team at the moment are the LA ANGELS, and you hope one day to JOIN THEIR RANKS as the TOP HITTER IN ANGEL HISTORY.
You wouldn't say its your FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD, but you are pretty good at CARPENTRY, or at least STICKING A BUNCH OF BLOCKS TOGETHER. A number of tools are strewn across your HOMEMADE DESK OF WONDER, which is also where you keep your COMPUTER.
What will you do?
Finn: Quickly switch on arms.
ARMS isn't out yet! Besides, you don't even have a switch.
Finn: Inspect poster with four symbols.
Ah, the emblems of disorder. When the final ALCHAMIGHT game was announced and they revealed the last emblem, it was only a matter of who could get the shirt first. You yourself proudly wear the ANARCHIST A on your shirt, and your other friends have claimed the COHERENCE QUILL, the MUTATION MERIDIAN, and the EXTRASENSORY EYE.
Finn: Examine defaced baseball posters.
OK, you have to admit, these additions aren't too bad. you get a hearty chuckle when you look at Ty Cobb's screaming face, or Babe Ruth's dead eyes and bird being flipped.
You also have to admit, though, your Lou Gehrig poster was already a little weird, before the addition of his sickly yellow teets. And you don't even KNOW what that weird mask is about.
Finn: Examine other baseball-related posters.
You take great pride in having the foresight to hang your ANGELS poster too high to be defaced. That didn't save your BASEBALL TRADING CARD poster though. But even you have to agree the joke put onto it, though a little forced, is something that could only ever enhance the poster itself. You even pointed to the two balls to finish the joke.
Finn: Inspect Alchamight poster.
 You hung this one above your bed, and like to imagine the four heroes watching over you and protecting you as you sleep. You have been an avid fan of the series since it first came out, a little more than 7 years ago.
The games were supposed to all be on one console, but as technology got better they had to work around making better then the last games while still maintaining connectability between them.
Finn: Examine final POSTER.
Ah yes, this...this is an interesting one. It looks like an interesting game, you guess, being some sort of multiplayer environment altering game, but you don't know how its supposed to work.
You were slipped in through a favor from a friend to a PRESTIGIOUS group of game testers, and you would be playing right now had your copy not been swiped by a CERTAIN SOMEONE.
Finn: Find culprit of POSTER defacings.
Oh, that wont be hard. While the content of the defacings is rather neutral to you, you will not stand for the act. It appears it is your turn to retaliate to your loathsome war opponent.
Finn: Check out your weapons.
But you should probably prepare a weapon first. You already have your usual one, MUSCLEKIND, given to you as babies-first-abstratus. But already given to you as a present today, is another blank card, which you should also probably allocate.
Finn: Choose an abstratus.
You flip over the card and look at all the possible choices. Looking around your room, you already see a few. this one, that one, oh you guess this one is an option.
You mull it over for a minute or two before choosing an answer.
Finn: Chose "PLUNGER".
You notice the wildly considered joke abstratus in the list of starter weapons. Plungers, eh? You're not sure how you could battle with it, aside from swinging it around. But what the hell, you have to start somewhere.
Finn: Allocate.
And by somewhere, you don't mean at the ass crack of weaponology. You choose BATKIND, seeing as its probably the most powerful thing you have in your room.
...What? It's not like you even had a plunger in here to allocate anyways.
Finn: Captchalouge bat.
Finn: Select "BAT".
Your STRIFE SPECIBUS has been ALLOCATED with the BATKIND ABSTRATUS.
The BAT has been moved from your CAPTCHALOGUE DECK to your STRIFE DECK.
Finn: Examine Fetch modus.
It's nothing special, just the classic Connect-the-Dot Modus. You've had it for a while and have been meaning to get a replacement, but it is just so darn fun you have a hard time replacing it. |

Finn: Look at inventory.
Its pretty simple, when you captchalouge something it prints onto two of the pages, one showing the item and the other showing the code, whatever that is. You figure its some programming in the book or something.
These blocks are a dime a dozen, if dimes already came in dozens for a dime. That is to say, they are INFINITELY MULTIPLYING AT YOUR OWN WHIM. You cant find much use for them except for table legs. Your not so sure how you would have used them as a strife specibus, even IF the abstratus allowed it. |

Finn: Practice using bat on something.
You quickly start the process of retrieving some blocks from your book.
===>
As is plainly obvious to anyone with a brain, your not the best at DRAWING, or really even drawing STRAIGHT LINES.
It gets the job done, though. Believe it or not, you think to yourself, these cubes aren't all that complex.
===>
It's sort of shabby but it'll do.
Finn: Batter up.
Belfur steps up to the plate. The crowd is silent, waiting in dreadful anticipation. What will he do, they wonder.
===>
AND THE YOKEL FROM SMALLTOWNBERG USA MAKES THE COVETED HOME-RUN OF VICTORY! THE CROWD GOES WILD WITH CHEER AND VIM AND VIGOR AND ALL SORTS OF THINGS OVER HIS AMAZING BATTERLY SKILLS!
===>
Yay!!! You are so proud. One day you will be the best hitting batterly person in the world, you just know it. You're pretty much the smartest person in the room when it comes to batterly-related activities.
===>
Oh look, your getting hassled. |

Finn: Answer chum.
You check your Hasslemate application, and see that you have messages in both group A and group B. This of course is because of your and your mates agreement to keep things neatly organized and compatible. Also it makes playing games much easier with predetermined teammates.
Which group will you check first? |

Finn: Look for memes.
Well, your not gonna do that. You remember the last time you looked up generic memes. Nothing but monkey balls and like...what was that, 4-foot nose hairs? Blegh, no thanks.
Instead you just go to one of your classic time-waster websites.
===>
Man, it's just not doing it for you today. You're bored out of your god damn mind.
But you think you do have an idea of what you could do. |

But you'll do that in a minute, apparently.
Finn: Look up the latest scientific discoveries.
While you aren't dumb enough to call video game tech "scientific discoveries," you find that its MUCH more interesting than, say, particle physics. You quickly skim the news feed. Blah blah blah, a bunch of stuff about AM 4 that you already know, and...what's this?
Uh oh, you think, as you mentally go through a checklist on the secrecy of this project. The jig: up. The cat: out of the bag. The beans: spilled. And some other silly things like that. The jig, cat, and beans, in this case, are the fact that the testing group you're in was SUPPOSED to be kept under wraps until the games release. But apparently Hunter Inc. must have caught on to the foul play afoot related to your entry into the program and are having it checked out.
This shouldn't be a problem, though, as your test copies have already arrived. And you're not worried about getting them back from the CERTAIN SOMEONE.
OK, now you really do need to do something else.

Finn: Wake up.
You wake up, again. You're never able to get a good nights rest, it seems.
Oh well. The bright side is now your on Prospit, and can spend some time with your dream friends.
Finn: Examine whereabouts.
Not much to examine, your just on Prospit! For some reason you always end up here when you fall asleep, though more usually you get knocked out.
But now that you're here, you can't go retrieve the game, attack the enemy, OR answer your mate. So, what will you do? |

Finn: Inspect different looking bedsheets.
Your bedsheets? They're the same as they always were. Frankly, the notion that they're different than they have ever been at any point in the past is absurd and you will humor this thought no longer. |

Woah woah woah, you can't go out yet, you just woke up! You do however turn on your DREAMPUTER, to at least meet up on HASSLEMATE.

Finn: Check out unseen graffiti.
You walk over and perform the difficult to master CAPTCHATECH: CAPTCHAGEDDON.
===>
You then just grab the other two stacks in whole stack form cause you don't want your Syllabook to be heavier than a god damn anvil. |

Finn: Collect captchalouge-related EXP.
You performed such a masterful CAPTCHATECH just then that the casual nabbing of the other two stacks like it was no big deal has bumped you up to the next rung on your ECHELADDER, YAK-ATTACK. You take the brunt of accessory swappage, as well as a bountiful yield of a whole slew of useless shit that you don't understand, and mature the highest known CAPTCHATECH: CAPTCHAGEDDON -> STOCK BROKERS NIGHTMARE.
You and your sister have been practically rocketing up your ECHELADDERS ever since you can remember. You take fondly of recalling a time when you argued who's rung was cooler, your TOP BAMFIST or her BOOMBABY BATTLER. But you think it's pretty clear who's was cooler. |

Finn: Reflect on graffiti.
You reflect on the graffiti for a moment. You think it's odd that you would do this in the first place, about this specific graffiti, instead of, say, any other piece of wall vandalism in your room, or just all of it as a whole. It's been there since you put it there, obviously, though it was more of a spur of the moment thing than anything else, so as for reasons why you're all tapped out.
You GUESS it means you could stomp around and the floor would open up, but the only thing you would accomplish by doing that would be looking like a doofus for a few minutes. |
