Sburbia Online is a Homestuck fan-venture based around an alternate version of Sburb. The changes will be made apparent as the story goes on. This story is based on Homestuck, but takes inspiration from a bunch of other sources. Lastly, I'm not 100% on where this story will go, so this'll be an adventure for me as well as you guys! MSPARP ForumsOmegaupdate MSPFanventuresI made an official Discord for this thing while the MSPARP Forums were down. I don't know what exactly I was trying to accomplish, but it doesn't matter anymore because the forums came back up. NOTICE: This is the OMEGAUPDATE version of this comic. I'm currently working on making it up to date. The MSPFA and MSPARP versions are completely up to date, so if you want to read the whole thing so far, click one of those links! I won't be accepting commands from this thread until the comic is up to date here.Sburbia: Online Official Discord-cynicalAutomaton
Start.A young man stands in his back yard and can't help but think that the orange blanket of light cast by the setting sun sets the mood perfectly for what's about to go down. Hell yes, he thinks. This is going to be the greatest LAN party of all time. But what is this kid's name, anyway?
==>What? No. That's dumb.
>JACK JOHNSON.
Now we're talking. You're name is JACK JOHNSON. People say your last name is boring but you think its FUCKING SWEET because alliterative names are cool 100% of the time.
You're currently standing in your BACKYARD. Your computer is set up out here because you've planned a TOTALLY EPIC LAN PARTY with you and your FRIENDS, friends that you've now realized are LATE AS SHIT. Seriously, they were supposed to be here half an hour ago! At this rate, everyone's going to have played that HOT NEW COMPUTER GAME except you! The thought alone makes you fume.
You're chumhandle is joystickMotionblur and you're Totally hardcore psyched about epic shit just about 24/7.
Jack: Start pestering your friends to find out where the flip they are.You turn on your computer and check DISSENT, the chat client you and your friends use for gaming and general communication. It appears none of them have messaged you since the last time you checked. Or the time before that. Fucking slackers. Which of these chums should you pester?

Jack: Pester DG.
You attempt to pester DG to the best of your ability, but alas, she doesn't appear to be at her computer. What could that girl be doing that's so important? And right before the party, no less. You decide to try your hand at pestering someone else.

Jack: Try pestering CT now.
You decide you might have a better chance of contacting CT. She hardly ever leaves her room. Besides, if she left her house, you probably would have noticed. She's your neighbor, after all.
Welp, you're not getting that one over here any time soon. She's an untamable renegade. You suppose, by process of elimination, there's only one thing to do now.

Jack: Pester MH.
Having expended all other options, you try and see what your pal MH is up to.
Well, at least he left the house. But all your friends are still absent! And it doesn't look like any of them are going to arrive very quickly.
If you were them, they'd probably all be here by now. But unfortunately, you can't be them. Nobody could ever "be" another person. That would be preposterous.

Jack: Be someone else.You are now this little lady. What's this little lady's name? >CHEERY CATBREATH.Rude! Who would name their child that? >KATE GOODMAN.Much better. Your name is KATE GOODMAN. You harbor such delightful interests as GARDENING and NEVER LEAVING THE HOUSE. Additionally, you've apparently fallen asleep in the GARDEN. Again. You just can't help yourself sometimes! It's so peaceful and quiet back here that you can't help but doze off to the gentle sounds of the WIND CHIMES. But that's fine, because today's SATURDAY. Whatever you were doing before couldn't possibly have been all that important. Your chumhandle is delicateGreenhouse and your voice is kinda quiet compared to others...

Kate: Try remembering. Something about JM maybe...?
You try remembering something Jack-related. Ah, Jack. You remember that he is one of your VERY BEST FRIENDS. He can be ROWDY sometimes, and you think he sometimes takes games TOO SERIOUSLY, but you think it's charming in a way.
You don't know what you would do if you ever managed to somehow let him down!
Kate: Look around area
You stand up and stretch. Sleeping on that bench for extended periods of time is not as comfortable as one would think. Unless one would think it's not that comfortable. You look around your BACKYARD. Pretty much the entirety of it is taken up by your FLOWER GARDEN. A couple TREES provide shade in the corners while the rest is open to NATURAL SUNLIGHT. A STONE PATHWAY circles the inside of the perimeter while the center is taken up by your WIDE ARRAY OF FLORA. Flowering VINES creep along the white fence that cages the yard. Then there's the bench. You've seen the bench already. Directly across from the bench is a small set of wooden stairs that leads to the BACK DOOR of your home. Discarded by your feet also lays your trusty TROWEL.
Kate: Pick up trowel.
You don't pick up the TROWEL, because you have no current reason to be using it. Instead, you captchalogue the trowel into your LOVES-ME-NOT FETCH MODUS. The cards in this modus sit in a circle like flower petals, and you can only eject a card by ejecting every other card sequentially until you reach it. It is not a very efficient modus, as it only gives you access to half your cards most of the time.
Fortunately, the trowel is the only thing in there right now, so accessing it would be no problem.
Kate: Pick up some rocks/pebbles for your modus. Keeping it simple isn't fun.
You captchalogue THREE (3) PEBBLES into your fetch modus. The trowel remains as the first card, so nothing has really changed.
Kate: Try Pestering curiousTerran now.
Not a bad idea. You go to do just that before realizing that you don't have your phone on you! Where could you have put that thing? You usually don't take it outside when you're gardening because you use a lot of tools and your fetch modus just makes taking it not worth it.
Kate: Go find and use your communication device to pester CT.
Come on, if everyone who wanted to just "find something" could do so by being commanded to, nobody would ever lose anything! And THEN where would we be? That's right. Atlantis.
...Okay that would actually be pretty cool. But I digress! This little lady's mobile device is going to have to be found through hard work and good old fashioned perseverance! We should leave her to it. You guys don't want to watch someone look for their phone for the next few updates, do you?

Kate: Be somebody else.You are now somebody else. Specifically, this young gentleman who's been stranded on the side of the road! Fortunately, your mechanical prowess has allowed you to handle the situation just fine. You got a little dirty, though, but that's okay. You can clean up once you get to your destination! But before you can do that, you're going to need a proper name. >CLAY CATALPA.Your name is CLAY CATALPA. You live on a FARM with your POP, but that's not where you are now. Right now, you're on your way to your best friend JACK's house! Or you were, before your truck BROKE DOWN and you had to fix it. You plan to play computer games with your friends tonight, despite NOT BEING VERY GOOD WITH COMPUTERS. Jack assures you, however, that the game won't require much, or really any, knowledge of computers to play. Of all your friends, you are the only one who KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE, which is convenient considering how you also LIVE FAR AWAY. You may not be good with computers, but you are very knowledgeable about FARMING, and you enjoy working on your Pop's farm very much. You also know your way around a SHOTGUN, but you never really have to use one for anything. Your chumhandle is moonlitHootenanny and you talk real excited-like all the time!! Clay: Get trucking.Satisfied that your ve-hicle is again fully functional, you climb into it and rev up the engine. You bask in the noises it makes. True American engineering. You bring her onto the road and continue your short journey to your friend's house. Clay: Be past Clay.You are now past Clay. Like, an hour in the past. You are standing in your BEDROOM, which is actually the attic. It's hard to stand up straight in this room because of the sloping walls, but you can deal with it because you spend a lot of time OUTSIDE playing SPORTS or doing MANUAL LABOR. Posters of your various INTERESTS are taped to the walls. Said interests include COUNTRY MUSIC and the hottest online shooter, CALL OF WARFARE. What will you do?

Post by cynicalautomaton on Aug 20, 2017 21:42:38 GMT
Clay: Play a round of Call of Warfare, you've got time.
You sit down at your little desk and turn on your COMPUTER. The thing is pretty ancient, but it still runs modern games okay. You boot up Call of Warfare and join a quick CTF match. They're in the middle of a best of 3 match, and your team appears to be losing. Fortunately, they have you on their team now! You're nowhere near as good as your buddy JACK but you still think you can...
Oh, never mind, you lost. But that's okay! It was still a mighty fine match if you do say so yourself. You stick around for a few more matches so that you can play a round start to finish instead of jumping in the middle of one. Your team still loses every time, but you DO manage to capture their flag once or twice!
Clay: Speaking of Jack, try to remember something about him.
Remember? How could you forget! You wouldn't miss your best pal's hoedown for all the corn in the field! It should be almost time to start heading over there, now that you think about it. What all was it he wanted you to bring? You can't quite recall...
Clay: Remember that he told you to bring a ton of clothes!
Did he tell you that? Well, you figure he must have. You couldn't possibly be that wrong about something. You open up your dresser drawers and start captchaloguing spare clothes into your HARVEST MODUS. Removing items from this thing involves pulling a card out of the dirt by the greens. It's usually not that hard, unless the thing you're trying to get is super valuable. You leave some room in your modus to pack some other things.
Clay: Pack your shitty laptop and extra clothes, just in case.
You captchalogue your shitty laptop and cushion it with even more clothes. Your whole dresser has been emptied at this point. It doesn't occur to you that cushioning the computer will have no effect in the hammer-space captchalogued items go.
You decide that having all these clothes just sitting in your sylladex is probably not the best idea. You dig around the many old cardboard boxes for a backpack or something. You find a worn DUFFEL BAG amongst the hoard of useless shit. This will be perfect for putting clothes in! You go to access the clothes in your sylladex, but unfortunately, you can't eject anything from it without a patch of dirt to pull from! The HARVEST MODUS has permanent DETECT-COLLISION as well, so items cannot be auto-ejected.
You captchalogue the duffel bag instead, opting to move the clothes later.
Clay: Hurry up and scamper to your truck and leave.
You take one last look at your attic-room. Dresser, emptied. Computer, cushioned. You are confidently prepared for the party. You do a giddy lad scamper to your truck and start the drive across the rural countryside to your more friend's more suburban domain.
Clay: Arrive.
You pull up to Jack's house in your truck. He sees you from his spot at his computer in the backyard. You get out and run over to him. He opens the gate and lets you in.

==>
You remove your computer from your fetch modus, now that you have solid ground to work on. You manage to pull it out ridiculously easy. Your laptop really is a piece of shit. You also take your clothes out and stuff them haphazardly into your duffel bag, condensing the whole shebang into one captcha card.
Clay & Jack: Throw rocks at CT's window.
You can't really be both at once, so you're Jack now. You go to check the time. It's 9:12. You stare up at CT's window, and she has her blinds closed. You were initially joking about throwing rocks at her window, but the idea is starting to become tempting.
You pick up a stone and, once you confirm that nobody but Clay can see you, lob it en route to CT's window. You miss it by a couple inches. You share a glance with Clay. It stays quiet, so you pick up another rock, but you're distracted by the sound of Dissent going off.
You wonder why you even bother with her, sometimes.

Clay: Consider to throw a boulder at CT's window.
That would be ridiculous! Of course you can't throw boulders.
There aren't any around!
Clay & Jack: Screw around and wait for something to happen.
You could totally do that. However, if you were to wait here for something to happen, then all the interesting stuff would happen somewhere else! I bet there's a someone else conveniently at where more interesting stuff is happening. I'd suggest you be one of them, but as has been previously stated, you cannot be someone else.

Clay & Jack: Be Kate.You are once again KATE GOODMAN. You're sitting angrily in your bedroom now because you've found out where your phone is; Your SIS took it. She looked through your phone and saw you were "messaging boys" again. She doesn't like it when you do that. She says you're too young, despite the fact that you're practically an adult. She put your phone in her room. You think she's in the kitchen, now. Kate: Check computer.You turn on your computer and are greeted by your DESKTOP. It's pretty tidy. All that's visible are the DISSENT CHAT CLIENT, your web browser of choice, CERBERUS, and the game Jack wanted you to download. Wait a second... that game... ==>Oh... Oh no... You're late again. Kate: Grab your laptop and run.The phone can wait.

Now that she's finished what was previously keeping her busy, she's finally ready to leave her home and join the rest of her friends. But before she can get in on the fun, she needs a name! What is this girl's name? >PIGTAILED FOUR-EYES.Oh, now you're just asking for it, aren't you? >LISA FURLONG.Your name is LISA FURLONG and you are about to finally attend your friend's little get together. He's a whiny piece of shit, but he's your whiny piece of shit. Aside from making him mad, your interests include being a GREAT EXPLORER. Okay, that's not true. In reality, you almost never leave your bedroom, and spend most of your time reading up on LOST TREASURES and maps of SPARSELY CHARTED BOONIES. Having opted out of arriving on time in favor of getting some more thorough preparation done, you are ready for pretty much any scenario that may come about from playing this game. All the essentials are packed away in your COMPASS FETCH MODUS while everything else has been stored in your basement. Your chumhandle is curiousTerran and you Basically couldn't care less about most other people

Lisa: Do you have a plan to go to Jack's house?Plan? You were probably just going to jump out the window like you usually do. Lisa: Carefully do a YOUTH JUMP out of the window. Or not carefully, really.You exercise as much caution one can when jumping out a window and get a running start. ==>Flawless execution. Lisa: Now land already.You land in a super dramatic fashion. It's got a tuck and roll and everything. Clay applauds you from the background. You get up, but don't bother dusting yourself off. You'll be outside for the foreseeable future, and a good explorer can't be afraid to get dirty. You saunter over to your friends, rounding out the obligatory four-person team. ==>LISA FURLONG joins the party!Wow, apart from being late, everyone showed up with less fuss than what was kinda expected. Now that the minimum four person requirement has been met, the game can begin! End of ChapterTo be Continued in...Chapter II ~ Gameplay Pedantics

Chapter 2. ==> Jack: Help Kate assign her trowel to her strife specibus.You tell her to, first of all, captchalogue the TROWEL. Due to how her sylladex was set up when she arrived, accessing her laptop to set it up required also ejecting the trowel and ONE (1) PEBBLE. What a trash fetch modus. (red = ejected) Fortunately, allocating an item to your STRIFE DECK doesn't require actually accessing the card via your modus' logic, so no more pebbles will be haphazardly strewn across your yard. After re-captchaloguing the trowel, you tell her to drag it into her unallocated STRIFE SPECIBUS, locking the TROWELKIND ABSTRATA into place. The trowel is also dropped into her strife deck, allowing her to access it as a weapon at any time, without having to use her seriously awful modus. Jack: Ask Lisa about her Strife Specibus. Then maybe check your own.You ask Lisa whether or not she prepared her strife deck. She responds with a swift machete pointed less than an inch from your face. She's right. It was a dumb question. You try to catch her off guard by swinging your own weapon: a metal bat. The BATKIND ABSTRATA is a simple yet satisfying one. When you land a good hit, you can just feel the force of the blow resonate within your very soul. Of course, she saw that move coming, and she disarms you with a LEVEL 1 MACHETETECH: CUT 'EM DOWN TO SIZE. The bat flies from your hand. You fumble to pick it back up and walk away awkwardly. Jack: Play it off as cool, man!You swing your bat over your shoulder and let it rest there. You totally knew she'd do that. You knew she'd instantly best you in a physical challenge if you tried to strike her. You only did it ironically. Yeah. It was a joke. ...Anyway, let's see what Clay's up to.

Jack: Be Clay.You are now Clay. You feel bad about leaving your gun at home. Fortunately, according to Jack and Lisa, you'll still be able to help out! You're not quite sure how, considering your fetch modus isn't easily weaponizable, but you're excited to find out! It doesn't look like you'll have to wait for much longer, either! Everyone else has got their weapons ready, and you're on standby for instructions. Let's do this! Jack: Give Clay instructions.You yell at Clay to hit "ready". Everyone else did that like five minutes ago. ==>The game starts finding a match to join. Everyone: Be Hyped.It dawns on everyone at the same time that the moment you've all been waiting for is upon you. Nothing more stands in the way of you and what will surely be an epic gameplay experience. You wait in agonizing suspense for the servers to pair your team up with a lobby that has room for you. It takes a few seconds to find a match. It seems you're the second party to arrive. Jack's screen name is listed as your team's party leader. No matter. The entry process should keep you all busy. Your team has also been named "EARTHLINGS" by default. Jack: Wonder who those Alternians are.You wonder who those ALTERNIANS are. Maybe the game randomly assigns team names? And you just so happened to get one that accurately portrays your planet of origin. Or maybe they manually set that as their name. In any case, their party leader is apparently 'draconicPerfection'. What an EDGELORD.

Jack: Pester draconicPerfectionYou don't have time for that! The game is starting! You vow to do it later. You want to give their team a good trashtalking once you have some free time. Game: Begin.♫ Persona 5 OST - Life Will Change (Instrumental) ♫You look up to the sky and see a damn meteor is about to collide with your house. Wow... that thing's coming in hot. And... really quickly. You should probably move out of the way or something. ==>WHOA OKAY THERE IT IS
Wake up, Get up and Get out of there!You didn't have a lot of time to consciously duck for cover, and the blast sorta threw everyone off to the side. Safely looking from wherever you were tossed, however, you can make out a strange machine sitting amongst the smoke where the meteor crashed. Jack: Inspect machine.You'll be honest: you really don't want to. The fucker fell from the sky! It could have space cooties or something! But you're your team's fearless leader. You need to guide them in times of need. So you approach the object with extreme caution. The machine has four identical screens on its four sides. They're all off, currently. There's also a wheel on the side of a short tube jutting from the top. There's a green spirograph logo printed on top of the tube's lid. You give the wheel a spin. As it clicks mechanically, it starts to provide resistance. You give a little elbow grease after it almost stops turning entirely, and it finally gives. The symmetrical LED screens flicker to life and display a countdown: 15:00. It starts ticking down. The lid on top also flips open, and out of it floats an insanely bright flashing ball of light.

Clay: Stare at the pretty colors.You'll be honest, the colors aren't that pretty. Just a bunch of blacks and whites. The patterns are mesmerizing, though. It's probably not good for your eyes, but you find yourself getting lost in the blinding lights. Kate snaps her fingers in front of your eyes to bring you back. Lisa: Check monitor.You turn to look at your computer. Oh, that's new. New to the readers, that is. You, of course, already knew what your monitor said. This map shows where you and all your teammates are. This isn't very helpful, as you can still see them all from where you are standing. It does appear that there's a new icon on the map, however, right where the meteor crashed. Lisa: Mention the strange device apparently has a name. 'Cruxt', or however you pronounce it.

Kate: Try to touch the glowy black and white thing.You climb up on top of the CRUXT and cautiously wave a shaky hand through the thing. Nothing of interest happens, but the light is extremely warm. Clay: Check monitor.Since everyone's attention has been brought to the computer screens, you've noticed everyone's screen says something different. You check your computer screen and it's absolutely flooded with information. It has everyone's screen names on it, followed by the word "ALIVE" and a bunch of nonsense that you can only assume means you're in the backyard. Kate: Check monitor.You get down from the CRUXT and check your monitor. Your screen appears to have the least info on it, and also proves to be the least cryptic. According to your screen, your goal is to defend two objects: the KERNELSPRITE and the CRUXTRUDER. Jack: Check monitor.You check your screen. It still shows the match lobby. You haven't learned anything more of value, except for maybe a third team hasn't joined in the past seven minutes.

Whatever just crashed down is coming towards you now. Whatever it is, you doubt it's friendly, especially not since you've been explicitly told to protect something and nothing else that you know about seems to be a direct threat. You call for JACK AND THE MEAN-STALKS to take battle positions. Wow, that name really does suck.

STRIFE!!! JACK and his cohorts VS IMPA and its cohorts ROUND 1Jack: As the kickass team leader, take the FIRST STRIKE!You run up towards the nearest opposer and swing your bat. As the first action you've taken this encounter, it acts as your STRIFE REGISTRY, officially recognizing you as a participant in this fight. The bat strikes IMP A hard, knocking it back a couple feet and dealing 5 damage. Lisa: Attack! Attack! Attack!You follow shortly after Jack. The swiftness of your machete usually allows you two attack two targets given they're close enough, but the imps are too far apart after Jack's assault. You decide to attack the same imp twice. IMP B takes an astounding 9 damage! Lisa is also established into the strife encounter. Kate: Aggrieve!You are initially caught off guard by the sudden wave of action. You get yourself together, and force yourself to at least attempt to attack an imp. You land the best hit you possibly could, which also happens to be only 3 damage. IMP B takes 3 damage. IMP B isn't looking too hot. Clay: Follow the example of your chums and AGGRESS!You'd love to, but as has been previously mentioned, you don't have a weapon handy! All you can do currently is watch in awe as your friends beat down your new foes.

[CA] Imps: Retaliate.After taking a thorough thrashing, you begin your retaliation. You have to admit, you didn't expect them to be this strong! Plus, they attacked pretty quickly. They could have at least given you time to do your dramatic entrance before pummeling your skulls in. Some people just can't appreciate a good first encounter. IMP A gets up and slashes at JACK with its sharp imp claws. You hit with impeccable aim! You do 5 damage, but the extra oomph added by your CRITICAL HIT brings the total up to 7. IMP B's eyes dart back and forth between LISA and KATE. It's naturally low STRATAGEM stat keeps it from being able to quickly come up with a plan of attack. It eventually decides to target KATE because she seems like the easiest target. You whiff, just barely rolling short of KATE's admittedly low CIRCUMVENTION stat.
Commands preceded by [CA] are proposed by me, which I believe is fair under these circumstances. ~cynicalAutomaton

ROUND 2Lisa: Protect your fellow player from the imps.You notice the imp's attempt on KATE's life and move to defend her. You can plainly see that IMP B is on the verge of death. A quick blow should be more than enough to incapacitate it. You swing your blade, but misjudge the distance and swing above the imp's head. You try again, but in your flustered state, you miss even harder. IMP B takes no damage. However, you are at least in-between it and KATE, so she should be safe from further harm. Lisa: Holler at the other two players to tell them to get off their asses and help Kate out! You can deal with the imps on your own, you think.You briefly consider doing that. Kate isn't exactly known for her fighting spirit. However, looking back over the short course of the fight so far, she hasn't actually taken any damage. Plus, she almost finished off that imp. You call for Clay to keep an eye on her, but you decide to give her a fighting chance before taking her out of the strife. CLAY is now covering KATE. He'll do his best to take defensive measures, but won't enact a STRIFE REGISTRY until he physically interacts with another combatant or takes damage by another combatant. Kate: Try to finish off imp.You still don't really want to be fighting these things, but you don't want to let your friends down even more. You do your best to worm your way around all the allies that are now crowded around you and land a hit. You land a devastating CRITICAL HIT! Unfortunately, that doesn't make you hit much harder, especially not with your downright puny fighting spirit, and you only deal 2 damage to IMP B. IMP B is barely holding on to consciousness at this point. Clay: Equip Kate to strife specibus.That would be ridiculous! Of course you can't equip Kate to your strife specibus. You don't have an unallocated strife specibus to equip her to! Kate: Fall back and hide behind the Cruxtruder to gather your bearings. You tried your hardest, so you haven't let them down at all!The imp wasn't in the best of health, so you thought a quick hit would knock it out. That obviously didn't happen, and since you didn't plan very far ahead in your panicked state, you decide to just turn and duck behind the Cruxtruder. Clay, convinced you're safer there than in the heat of battle, stays where he is. Jack: Back off of the imp that you are attacking right now, and go to the imp who is near death. Attempt to team up with the others and quickly finish it off!You look over your shoulder to see the rest of your team wrestling with the other imp. They're struggling without their leader! And you've been over here, neglecting your duties by fighting alone. You rush over to IMP B and swing hard. Your bat hits, dealing 8 damage! To your surprise, your bat doesn't stop at the imp's body and completely goes through as the scrub explodes in a puff of smoke. When the smoke clears, JACK picks up the following drops:

[CA] Imp A: Go out fighting!Even with your low STRATAGEM, you know your odds of victory aren't very high. Instead of giving up, you give one last shot. You run at JACK and jump onto his back, pulling his hair and otherwise being an overall nuisance. Yikes. You miss and fall flat onto the ground.
