Welcome to Spacebound! I lost a few updates from MSPAF, but I really want to continue this. If MSPAF comes back up, all the better. For now, let me catch you up on what happened so far, so that we may continue. Keep in mind that the art style you see in the first few panels changes soon thereafter. At some point in the future I will probably redraw them to fit in better. The parts that were lost I've filled in to the best of my ability.Enjoy.

... New Game
A young lass stands in her bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 25th of October, is her
BIRTHDAY. She is however not at all occupied with this since she's instead anxiously looking
forward to playing a game of SPACEBOUND with her FRIENDS today.
In her room various artifacts pertaining to DETECTIVES and SLEUTHS can be found, which
clearly indicate her INTERESTS. It would also seem like she tends to keep things mostly NEAT
AND TIDY, although this might spring from the fact that it's easier to SOLVE DIFFICULT
PROBLEMS without any distracting influences in her presence.
Except of course for her recently started POSTER COLLECTION. She's been hoping to get one
with Inspector Clouseau, but those are rare.
Now, what's the name of this young lass?> Enter name.
Equip Letter L or Walking Cane.
Unfortunately, these items do not lend themselves to be equiped at the current time! Try as you might,
you can't seem to fit them into your hand slot. Maybe a class mod like Literary Lass or Dapper Damsel would help.
For now, they're best stashed in your inventory.
> =====>
=====>
As is your Sleuth Gear. It all fits neatly into the magical fabric of your inventory screen.
Now that this is done, it's finally time to move downstairs.
> Leave the room.
Leave the room.
 > =====>
=====>
What is this? A murder mystery for sure!
Poor Sir Knight seems to have been brutally murdered!
> Be rendered in a less symbolic manner.
Be rendered in a less symbolic manner. This calls for a shift in how things look. You can't just frolic around on a murderscene that's rendered symbolically. You'll have more luck with a somewhatrealistic style, you figure.Besides, you were getting an awful urge to eat your posters and burn your bed.You are pretty sure that's a side-effect of rendering yourself as your favorite webcomic author would. And also you suspect that your own author wants a morechallenging drawing style to continue this story in.At least that's what you'd think if you had fourth wall awareness, which you don't.> Investigate the crime scene.
Investigate the crime scene.
Sir Knight seems to have died after a stab in his abdomen! What fiend could have done this? You have your suspicions, but it's too early to jump to conculsions, so the investigation continues.
> =====>
=====>
You draw a chalk line around the body of Sir Knight.
As all amateur detectives know, it makes all the difference to a well-structured investigation process.
> =====>
=====>
With the crime scene taped off, it's time to investigate some clues. The blood looks very suspicious. It's practically everywhere, and has a very bright red colour. You really shouldn't, but maybe a little taste is in order.
> =====>
=====>
IT'S DELICIOUS!
> Examine the flower pot.
Examine the flower pot.
Aha! That would be the murder weapon! You store it safely, so you can examine it later.
This provides enough evidence to confirm your suspicions, though.
The search for the prime suspect must begin!
> Change your Class Mod.
Change your Class Mod
Class Mods don't work like that! They must be collected and levelled up independently.
All Class Mods are always active, and provide their user with certain advantages during their lives.
You currently don't have any, so most of the possibilities provided by your inventory are still locked.
> Look around for footprints.
Look around for footprints. Nope, no footprints here. Not that you expected anything different regarding theprime suspect. There are however several cherry-flavoured splatters spread acrossthe room. Maybe it'd be worth checking those out for clues.> Examine the sofa.
Examine the sofa. There is a key lying beneath it, inside a cherry splatter.
Its shape is very familiar to you. It leads to the closet below the stairs.
Could it be? Is that the place where the murderer has hidden himself?
> =====>
=====> This is not what you expected.> =====>
=====> It's... It's...!-
> ====>
=====> AUUGH!!! KILLIAN, YOU COMPLETE DOLT!!
> =====>
=====>
It seems the murder mystery was an elaborate ruse set up by your brother KILLIAN.
Instead of the solution to the murder case, you found presents in the closet.
Not that it matters; Sir Knight seems to have shrugged off his fatal wounds and sits happily on the couch.> {S} Tanya: Engage.
{S} Tanya: Engage. Click image to view flash
> =====>
=====>
TANYA: Sorry. I didn't mean to attack you.
KILLIAN: Don't beat yourself up, sis.
TANYA: I just lost my grip on myself.
KILLIAN: Hey, it's fine. I know how to handle kunai.
KILLIAN: Besides, I've had to live with your anger management issues for many years now. I know how to disarm a situation like this.
KILLIAN: Why don't we let the past be the past? Open your presents, Tanya. It's your birthday after all.
TANYA: Oh! Let me think, what could it be?
> Tanya: Open presents.
Tanya: Open presents.
TANYA: Er, a pony?
KILLIAN: That seems very unlike you.
TANYA: I just happened to blurt that out for some reason.
TANYA: That was kind of random.
TANYA: Is it a class mod, maybe?
KILLIAN: Mmmm. You think?
TANYA: It's a possibility, right?
KILLIAN: I'm not sure that's the case.
> =====>
=====>
KILLIAN: I'd call it a certainty.
As you equip the Literary Lass class mod, several things happen. A skill tree appears, and the fight with Killian seems to have earned you some EXP! You're ready to level up. =====>
Moreover, it seems that the Literary Lass mod also enables you to wield items of more varied sizes! You can't wait to explore the possibilities, but first you have more presents to open.
> =====>
=====>
The next present appears to be an inventory page! This will come in handy, seeing as how your Sleuth Gear almost fills your inventory already! You don't seem to be able to use it quite yet, though.
> =====>
=====>
Handcuffs! They are indispensable for any detective, and you've been meaning to get a pair for ages! After stashing it in your inventory, one present remains.
> =====>
=====>
It's a Pink Panther cinema poster! Yes!
> Examine Skill Tree.
Examine Skill Tree.
Unfortunately there's no such skill as 'Bookmark' in the offensive Branch.
The closest you can get is the 'Stun Pun' Leaf. This ability allows you to
make puns that are, in the most literal sense, stunning. Unfortunately, it's
all the way at the bottom. The only currently accessible offensive Leaf is the
'Appellation Exclamation' perk, which makes your attacks more powerful if you
give them cool names. It seems a bit quirky and you're not sure how it's related
to being literary. At the very least it'd give you an offensive boost, though.
> =====>
=====>
The only available Defensive Leaf is 'Attack Plaque' which will announce any attacks made by your opponents.
Even though it does not apply to stealthy moves, you can see some use to the ability to 'read' people's moves.
> =====>
=====>
There are two available Leaves in the Utility tab.
The first seems to unlock the ability to add more inventory space.
The second option, 'Examination Fixation' seems to highlight objects of importance when you examine a room.
Since extra inventory space is still locked, you choose the former.
> Level up.
Level Up.
You select 'Inventory Increase'. Immediately, your EXP is drained, and your stats are highlighted.
> Add inventory space.
Add inventory space.
All the possibilities of the inventory system now seem unlocked!
Navigation buttons appear above your inventory, allowing you to switch at a moment's notice.
Even better still, is that you can rename each page!
> Allocate stat point.
Allocate stat point.
Your stat point seems to be able to be placed in one of nine stats.
The top row seems to be offensively themed, with 'Strength', 'Accuracy' and 'Intelligence'.
The next row seems to be defensive, listing 'Defence', 'Perception' and 'Willpower'.
The bottom row seems to be focused on utility, listing 'Speed', 'Dexterity' and 'Wisdom'.
Moreover, the columns seem to be themed as well. The leftmost column is based all around bodily might.
The central one is based on adaptability, and the rightmost one consists of intellectual stats.
> Increase Intellect.
Increase Intelligence.
Getting your priorities straight is key.
As a Literary Lass, you shouldn't care much for adaptability or might right away.
It's best to start increasing the all-too-important Intelligence stat.
> Rename inventory tab.
Rename inventory tab.
Keeping your inventory organized is the key to success. You think that's the case, anyway.
Therefore, you rename the tab that stores your Sleuth Gear 'Detective'.
> =====>
=====>
Obviously, the letter 'L' is now entirely out of place.
It's best to equip it, now that you've got the possibility to do so.
> =====>
=====>
Time to store the Pink Panther poster on Page 2! This all panned out wonderfully!
KILLIAN: What do you think, sis?TANYA: It's... It's amazing! Thank you!KILLIAN: I'm glad.KILLIAN: Listen, Tanya. I know you like to make your own plans, so I don't have anything special planned for today.KILLIAN: If you need me, I'll be around.
> Tanya: Go upstairs |

Tanya: Go upstairs You head upstairs, returning to your room, still a little giddy with enjoyment from your presents.You're going to have to tell your friends what you got, of course. They'll be as excited as you are.Well, except maybe R. He'll just crack a smile, probably. At least he agreed to playing Spacebound.> Hype level: 85% |

Hype level: 85% Boy, are you excited to play! And it even looks like one of your friends already-> Something: Go wrong.
Something: Go wrong. Aaugh! Your computer just spontaneously combusted.
What.> Tanya: Check phone.
Tanya: Check phone. Who's this joker? You don't know anyone who types in green text, and what
they're saying is as nonsensical as their gratuitous use of caps.

 You're not tech-savvy, but you know someone who is, and that person happens to be your
friend Ethan. If anyone can get Spacebound working on your phone, it'll be him.

FD: Hey Ethan. you there?
UM: Where else would I be?
UM: Happy Birthday, Tanya.
FD: Thanks.
FD: I'm actually pestering you for a reason.
FD: My computer toasted itself, and I have no way to run Spacebound.
UM: Yikes. Today of all days, too.
FD: Yeah. >_>
FD: So I was wondering, would it be possible to patch it through to my phone?
UM: Oh.
UM: Theoretically, yeah.
UM: You got a Samchunt Andromeda S4, if I remember.
FD: Yeah. Does that matter?
UM: It's actually a pretty important detail.
UM: I need to figure out the specs of that machine to know what to do.
UM: It'll take me a while, though.
FD: All right.
FD: Can I ask you another question?
UM: Go ahead.
FD: For no reason in particular,
FD: Is it possible to blow up someone's computer from a distance?
UM: I guess?
UM: I mean, not really. The kind of hacking involved in that makes my brain melt.
UM: If it makes my brain melt, it probably makes a computer melt, too.
UM: But that would be hacking on the hardware level.
UM: Madness.
UM: But depending on what kind of computer you use I can't 100% rule it out.
FD: Thanks.
UM: It's probably easier to break in and plant an actual bomb.
UM: No problem. I'll get back to you when I got something working.

 Your battery seems to be doing all right for now, and since you don't have anything
better to do, you decide you might as well message one of your friends. It would appear
that they are all online right now, although you have no need to talk to Ethan.Beside your friends, there's also this pal of Ethan's you could talk to, eruditionChaser. Youforget whether you ever caught his real name, but you've spoken every now and again. That green-textweirdo is still offline, sadly enough. You'd love to hear what the hell he thinks he's doing.> Tanya: Chat with EC.

EC: Hello Tanya.
EC: You are Tanya, right?
FD: Yes. I don't remember your name, though.
EC: That's fine, I don't remember giving It.
EC: My Name is Wicks.
EC: How has your Day been treating You?
FD: Not too well if I'm honest, given that my computer just exploded.
EC: I didn't
EC: I mean -
EC: how are You messaging Me?
FD: I'm using my phone.
EC: Oh, of course. Silly Me.
EC: I don't have One myself, so I was a little Confused.
FD: Let's hope it doesn't blow up.
EC: I don't know why It would.
FD: It's not a big deal for me. I can just use my phone to do whatever.
FD: But the only thing you have is a computer.
EC: What are You using your Phone for, then?
FD: I'm having one of my friends patch a game so that I can play it.
FD: He's really quite good with that sort of thing.
EC: Sorry to cut this Short, but I need to go.
