It's like she's my role model![01:43] HM: She's just messing around.[01:44] RB: probably~ but you never know with her~[01:44] RB: you never know what shes doing in that room of hers~[01:44] HM: Who knows.

==>You are someone even less ready.
Well, you don't have your copy of Sburb yet, so you consider yourself slightly even less ready. Your sister is in possession of your copy right now, and will give you the copies when she feels the time is right. You are currently watching the newest episode of ASTERISK 2. You had enjoyed the first season of ASTERISK, and were delighted when you heard there would be a second season. About five minutes into the episode, your PesterChum goes off. It appears one of your friends are trying to pester you. You pause the episode and open up PesterChum. >Be pestered by Iris You do the pestered thing that starts/ends with this: [12:41] -- hiddenMessage [HM] began pestering roseBud [RB] at 12:41 -- [12:41] HM: Lily.

You leave your room and chat with your sister. She just wanted to tell you that she needs to run out and do some things, and she'll be back later tonight. After she leaves, you head back up to your room. You look at your paused show. >Pester the britBefore you go back to watching, you decide to talk to Bast.

==-> Be Kell.
You are now KELL and currently you are heading back to your house after retrieving the game. For some reason you forgot to get it earlier, but barely made it to the store to snag the last copy. Hopefully your friends havent started without you, which would be pretty rude. The game SBURB just came out, yet you haven't seen anyone play it. The only review on the game is in some Game Bro magazine, yet he panned the game and told no one to play it.
==-> Kell: Get home. Eventually, you return home to see that your MOM has been long asleep since you left. You shrug it off and head off to your room to see If your friends are ready for the game. To your surprise, people have been waiting for YOU to get on. Figures.
[04:53] -- hiddenMessage [HM] began pestering concurrenceGrunge [CG] at 16:53 --
[04:53] HM: Kell.
[04:53] HM: I assume you have the game.
[04:54] CG: Oh, hell yeah man. It took me a bit to get on cause of it.
[04:54] HM: That's probably why you were offline for so long.
[04:54] CG: Yeah, sorry about that man. I at least got the game.
[04:55] HM: Yes.
[04:55] HM: Bast didn't inform you about the order we'll all play it. I'll tell you.
[04:55] HM: You <- Me <- Lily <- Bast <- Mars
[04:55] HM: Then it of course loops around.
[04:56] CG: Is that how this game works?
[04:56] HM: Yeah.
[04:56] HM: There's a admnistrative player and a client.
[04:56] CG: I'm not complaining cause Im going first, but man thats weird.
[04:56] HM: I dunno.
[04:56] HM: Games nowadays are pretty weird.
[04:57] HM: Do you have it installed?
[04:57] CG: Uh, yeah. I have the executables on my computer.
[04:57] CG: The game didnt even have a box, man.
[04:57] HM: Okay.
[04:57] HM: Open it and I'll connect to you real quick.
[04:58] CG: Uh....Which one?
[04:58] CG: The Client?
[04:58] HM: Yes.
[04:58] HM: I am running the server, at the moment.
[04:59] CG: Jesus, man. What the hell kinda game is this? Some MUD game?
[04:59] HM: Building virtual reality, at least according to Sebastian.
[04:59] CG: So like...Sims?
[04:59] HM: ...yes
[05:00] HM: I believe...
[05:00] CG: Uhuh. This is a weird start up screen though. It's like a terminal, man.
[05:00] HM: Do you ever have the sneaking suspicion someone laid cameras all over you room?
[05:00] HM: Yes.
[05:00] HM: And I have connected to you.
[05:00] HM: I actually have...
[05:00] HM: a full view of your room, presumably. And yourself.
[05:00] HM: But this might be just an avatar.
[05:01] CG: Uh...I feel the same as I did before.
[05:01] HM: Great.
[05:01] CG: I didnt even know we started to be honest.
[05:01] HM: I'm looking around at the moment. This is some kind of apartment.
[05:02] CG: Cool. It must have some like....generalization where I live from when I bought this game.
[05:02] CG: Is it really small, like tiny?
[05:02] HM: I can scroll off and see the whole apartment, and it's... the average size you can expect of a apartment.
[05:03] HM: It looks hot in there.
[05:03] HM: I can't look further than that, though.
[05:03] CG: Creepy.
[05:03] HM: I dunno.
[05:03] CG: Whatever, man. All I know is that I cant really see any game.
[05:04] CG: Which to be honest kinda blows.
[05:04] HM: Let me move this toilet and kind of just put it on the roof.
[05:05] CG: Man this game must be rediculous.
[05:05] HM: Sure.
[05:05] HM: Do me a favor, check your bathroom real quick.
[05:05] CG: Yeah..Yeah. I'll move. Lemme just...check out Google. I'm pretty sure I just mispelled a few things at once.
[05:06] HM: Don't worry about it.
[05:06] HM: Just relax, you're probably losing your cool.
[05:06] CG: While that loads, I'll head over to the bathroom or whatever. Not sure why you want me there.
[05:06] HM: Just go. ==-> Kell: Question your friends request.
You sit in your chair for awhile in defiance to your friends request, but eventually you give in after realizing that you needed to Pee anyways. You grab your phone and set up Pesterchum before heading off to your Bathroom. ==-> Kell: Wheres your toilet? What Toilet? [05:07] CG: Alright, now what'd you do. Cause I clearly remembered having a Toilet.
[05:08] HM: I told you.
[05:08] HM: I moved it to the roof of the building.
[05:08] HM: Now I really don't hope you have a need to pee.
[05:09] CG: I may have to cause you apparently have the ability to remove shit from my actual house.
[05:09] HM: Not just that either.
[05:09] HM: There are 4 items I can deploy.
[05:10] CG: Like?...
[05:10] HM: Something called the cruxtruder, in the similar vein, a alchemiter, a totem lathe and a punch designix.
[05:10] HM: I have no idea what those do.
[05:10] HM: There is also a captchalogue card with rectangular holes in it. It's useless.
[05:13] CG: Well I guess just...
[05:13] CG: Set all of them down wherever?
[05:13] HM: Sure.
[05:14] HM: Your room is big enough to house all of them except the Alchemiter. I'll put that in the hallway.
[05:14] CG: Uhuh...
[05:14] HM: I'll put the punch designix first; try to stand away from the corners of the room.
[05:14] CG: If its so big, how do I know it wont like..
[05:14] CG: Block the hallway?
[05:15] HM: You can climb it.
[05:15] HM: It's big horizontally.
[05:15] HM: There, I deployed the designix and lathe.
[05:15] HM: I also just put the pre-punched card near you, but I don't think itll come in handy
[05:16] HM: I'm moving some stuff to make way for the cruxtuder.
[05:16] CG: Uhuh, I guess I'll just....piece this together somehow. Not entirely sure how this is meant to work.
[05:16] HM: I am as puzzled as you are..
[05:17] HM: There you go, the cruxtruder is deployed.
[05:17] HM: And now I'm going to place the alchemiter. You might feel the ground shake a bit. I'll try to place it away from your door.
The ground shakes around you as you head down the hall. You notice the new machine lodged in the Hallway.
[05:18] HM: There. Miniature earthquake.
==-> Kell: Head down the hall to the living room.
You do so and notice some other machines sitting around and decide to slip in the Card you grabbed earlier. It's kinda pointless to keep this thing around If it doesnt do anything.[05:19] CG: Yeah, while you were doing that I just put the card into the like..
[05:19] CG: Lathe? I think thats what this is.
[05:20] HM: Yes, I saw.
[05:20] HM: I don't think it did anything.
[05:20] HM: It seems like the lid of the cruxtruder is openable. Try turning the wheel.
[05:20] CG: Yeah, well It works better there than being stuck in my hands.
[05:21] HM: Sure.
[05:21] CG: Right, what about that Cruxtruder?..
[05:21] HM: The lid. There's a wheel.
[05:24] CG: Okay, so. I've been trying to turn this for like..
[05:24] CG: What, a minute or so?
[05:25] HM: Hold on.
[05:25] HM: What's the heaviest thing on your room that you won't use?
[05:26] CG: Use the toilet your yoinked out my Bathroom.
[05:26] HM: Sure.
[05:26] HM: Stay as far as possible from the cruxtruder. I'm going to drop the toilet on it.
==-> Kell: Turn around.
You turn around from the Lathe and in the fairly small kitchen. The small counters seem to have been removed and replaced with the so called Cruxtruder. A toilet floats over it and immediately slams down on the poor thing. It pops off the lid and out comes some seizure ball and a lavender totem. [05:28] CG: Alright, that was cool.
[05:28] CG: I mean, gross that theirs water everywhere but it worked.
[05:28] HM: Yes.
[05:29] HM: And there's also Mister Seizure Ball over there. I'll let you figure him out
[05:30] CG: What about like...this weird...lavender thing?
[05:30] HM: Try putting that cylinder in the totem lathe.
[05:31] CG: Okay that was hella tight, man. Did you see it like..spin that shit around?
[05:31] CG: Now it's just shaped weird.
[05:32] HM: Yeah.
[05:32] HM: Cool.
[05:32] HM: THere's a spot for something in the Alchemiter, outside. Put that in there.
[05:33] HM: I'd also advise you against looking outside.
[05:33] CG: Uh...why?
[05:33] CG: I mean I did see the seizure ball roll into my room, but I dunno man.
[05:33] CG: It cant be that bad. ==->
A meteor is heading your way. If you can even call it that. It could be a bomb for all you know, but one thing is for certain, It's heading your way pretty quickly. Even through the thick clouds you can see It making its way.
[05:34] CG: Jesus.
[05:34] CG: Christ.
[05:36] CG: Not only is this seizure ball fuckin' 'All Might' but jeez.
[05:36] CG: What is that...outside.
[05:36] CG: Like, It isnt what I.../think/ it is. Right?
[05:38] HM: Don't stand there like an idiot.
[05:38] HM: Put the cylinder in the alchemiter.
[05:39] CG: Fuckin, how will that help?
[05:39] HM: I don't know?
[05:39] HM: Just do it.
[05:39] CG: Their is a hot piece of space rock coming straight down on me.
[05:39] CG: Fine!
[05:39] HM: I do not need your arrogant attitude right now. When you do not know what to do in a game, you experiment.
[05:41] CG: So I made an Hourglass. Big whoop.
[05:41] HM: Yes.
[05:41] HM: Now tinker around with it.
[05:41] HM: You have...
[05:42] HM: 40 seconds left.
[05:42] CG: What!
[05:42] HM: Don't lose your cool.
[05:42] HM: Turn it upside down? Break it?
[05:43] HM: See, what you need is patience. You need to relax.
[05:44] CG: Whatever.
[05:44] HM: Turn it upside down and sit down.
[05:44] HM: Don't sweat it.
[05:45] HM: Consider this.
[05:45] HM: I have been able to manipulate your home, but I cannot manipulate you at all.
[05:45] HM: It is possible that the toilet being removed is a illusion and is still there, but I'd recommend you'd rather not test it.
[05:45] HM: If my theory is true, the meteor will not kill you and your mother.
==-> Kell: Don't freak out.
You take a deep breath and just allow the Hourglass to do its thing. The sand pours down, slowly drifting away. You didnt even think about your Mom, so you feel a bit selfish for not worrying about her. You keep a tight look on the shitty hourglass, realizing that this game doesnt really feel like anything virtual reality-ish. Not only do you not have the equipment, but this just feels too real to be a fake. You drop the hourglass while having your deep thought and you are immediately blinded by a light that comes through from it.
==-> Enter.
[05:47] CG: Did you see the light too?
[05:48] CG: Like, I dunno, after I saw the rest of the hourglass go through, I get blinded.
[05:48] HM: No, I didn't.
[05:48] CG: Maybe I lost?
[05:48] HM: Your screen got dark just as I was fiddling around with Mr. Seizure Ball.
[05:48] HM: I think I dropped something on him. You might want to check it out.
[05:48] CG: Uhuh. Yeah, the seizure ball.
[05:52] CG: Alright so.
[05:52] CG: What exactly is this game?..
[05:53] HM: I know just as much as you.
[05:53] HM: It might be more than just a game, though.
[05:53] HM: Ah, we're having some funny red aurora over here.
[05:53] CG: Well. Whatever it is, I'm a bit confused by this seizure ball cause It manifested a body.
[05:53] HM: Either way, I can't mess with you in game for now until your screen brightens up.
[05:53] HM: Oh.
[05:53] HM: Well, isn't that great.
[05:53] CG: Like. I dont know how to explain this.
[05:54] CG: You ever see Boku no Hero Academia??
[05:54] HM: No, but that explains what I dropped in it.
[05:55] CG: I dont...think I'm in Houston.
[05:55] HM: Oh, christ.
[05:55] HM: Alright, yeah, your screen brightened up.
[05:55] HM: You're definitely somewhere else, and you have a burly ghost following you.
[05:56] CG: Yeah, I've noticed.
[05:57] HM: It's kind of pretty, though.
[05:57] CG: I guess, man.
[05:57] HM: I'll leave you to your own devices for now. There's a few creatures around your home, so a word of warning.
[05:58] HM: I'll also need to talk to Sebastian about this.
[05:58] HM: So I'll see you later.
[05:58] CG: Yeah..I'll uh...look around.
[05:58] HM: Figure it out, I guess.
[05:58] HM: Bye.

[09:05] HM: I'm gonna throw the Faiz Gear on mister seizure ball here. [09:05] SB: (If y00 believe that t0 be a g00d idea, s0re\)
You turn on the toy phone, input 555 and press enter. It says standby. You throw it at the ball, and it does not make a attempt to dodge. Succesfully, it morphs into Faiz's head. How adorable... you guess? >Do the other urgent stuff. [09:06] HM: There we go, he's now Faiz. Where did you put the card? [09:06] SB: (The card is right next t0 y00, act0ally) [09:06] SB: (I placed it while y00 fiddled ar00nd with y00r m0d0s) [09:08] HM: Oh. [09:08] HM: Great. [09:08] SB: (...I see) [09:08] HM: I captchalogued it. Let's hope it doesn't turn up to be nothing this time.

[09:09] SB: (0f c00rse) [09:11] SB: (...I really h0pe we have made the right decisi0n)
You CAPTCHALOGUE the PRE-PUNCHED CARD and CRUXITE TOTEM. They are then combined due to your SCHRODINGER MODUS requiring two cards. The COMBINED CARD darkens. You kind of have some difficulty getting the door open, but you manage to get in. You stand near the totem lathe and activate the COMBINED CARD. The CRUXITE TOTEM is thrown out right into the slot, and the PRE-PUNCHED CARD and an EMPTY CARD recombine. You activate it again and the PRE-PUNCHED CARD comes out and inserts itself into the slot. Progress! The lathe does it's thing, making the CRUXITE TOTEM a mess. You CAPTCHALOGUE IT while FAIZSPRITE watches. You YOUTH ROLL near the ALCHEMITER, inserting the CRUXITE TOTEM into the slot. It then manifests a... spotlight? >IRIS: Enter. [09:11] HM: I... uh... [09:11] SB: (Hmm... 0h great, her br0ther is attempting his daring escape) [09:11] HM: summoned the cruxite artifact.

[09:12] SB: (As I wedged a s0fa int0 his wind0w) [09:13] HM: It tried to teach Kell patience by making his artifact into a hourglass. [09:13] SB: (...I s0pp0se y00 c00ld be right ab00t that) [09:13] HM: I'm not sure what the spotlight means, though. [09:13] SB: (I... what) [09:13] SB: (Maybe, j0st) [09:13] SB: (t0rn it 0n?) [09:13] HM: Sure? [09:13] HM: Let me try. [09:13] HM: Oh jesus this is bright. [09:13] HM: I'll stand in it. Figure something out. [09:14] SB: (Well, I will say, the light is certainly flattering) [09:14] HM: ...yeah, that worked.

You arrive in the LAND OF ICE AND SECRETS. It is a large, icy blue cave, with a smooth floor and gigantic icicles threwn about. There are a few monoliths scattered about, colored a dark blue.

>IRIS: Get out of your room. You get out of there easily. You collect all the GRIST dropped, which amounts to 28 BUILD GRIST and 15 LAPIS LAZULI GRIST. You exit out of your HOUSE, your PROTECTIVE CLOTHING being great at shielding you from the cold ICE. It is quite slippery, though, and you fall right on your face. Much of your time is spent falling and slipping. Once you manage to get this stuff right, you look back at your house. The cave extends a lot further than you'd think. Maybe there's even a exit up there. You see a few GATES, although you do not know what they are. >Chat with FAIZSPRITE IRIS: So, about you FAIZSPRITE: Complete.

IRIS: Okay, cool. So what's all this shit? FAIZSPRITE:I am your sprite. You are my new master. I am unable to tell you much.

While getting up to look for your game, you manage to slip on a stray piece of paper, which is odd considering you don't leave stray papers around. Nonetheless, you fall to the ground and send some random letters to Bast. You rub your head as you stand up, as it had hit the ground quite hard. Thank goodness you have a carpeted floor. You grab the paper and get back onto the computer to explain what happened. [08:25] RB: shit~[08:25] SB: ()[08:25] RB: i slipped on something~ [08:25] RB: huh~ its a paper~~~
>Look at the paper You do just that, opening the paper up (It was folded a bit), until its the size of a regular 8.5"x11" piece of paper. On it, a note is written in a familiar handwriting style. [08:26] RB: oh~ joy~[08:26] RB: its from sis~[08:26] RB: i know where the game is now~[08:26] RB: ~ [08:26] RB: lemme go grab it~
>Grab the game and boot it up! You run over to your kitchen, climbing onto a small countertop in order to reach the top of the refrigerator, where you find the games you are looking for. You make your way back to your computer, and begin loading the game. [08:27] RB: alright~ into the computer it goes~ [08:27] RB: click click click~ [08:27] RB: load load load~ [08:27] SB: (I have ret0rned) [08:27] SB: (I have cleared 00t a space in the g0est bedr00m f0r s0me 0f the machines) [08:27] SB: (Sadly, there is n0t en00gh space f0r anythi0ng else) [08:27] RB: alright~ [08:28] RB: ill move stuff around if i need too~ [08:28] SB: (S0 y00 are g0ing t0 need t0 p0t The Alchemiter 0n t0p 0f the t0wer) [08:28] RB: dont get too worried~ [08:28] RB: let it finish connecting first~ [08:28] SB: (Y00 may have the game, b0t I still jjst had t0 fight three daleks j0st t0 0pen en00gh space) [08:28] SB: (n0t even speaking 0f what happens 0n the way t0 the t0wer) [08:28] RB: lol nice~
Now that the game is loaded, you can see Bast and his estate. It looks quite fancy and regal, as expected of someone like Bast. The room Bast is in, his bedroom is large, with a king-size bed opposite the large door which leads into the rest of the second floor, a large desk with a computer next to the bed, a dresser opposite it, and large 4-panel windows on all sides. Next to the dresser is a broken semi-animatronic stuffed Cyberman. Moving out of his room, there is a cresent hallway, and a massive spiral staircase leading to the ground floor, and a smaller staircase on the other side of the cresent from his room (which is at the left-hand end) which leads up to the third floor, which then leads up to a large tower.

He looks rich as heck, but he doesn't even have a phone connected to Pesterchum? Now you'll have to watch him and help him without being able to communicate with him. It won't be much trouble and you expected it to happen, but you're still decently upset. And at a bit of a loss as to what to do. >Commentate on what he does

Sure, your on the back lines fighting a bunch of robots with a toilet, but your really helping your friend. And that's awesome. Bast even gives you a thumbs up to show you how much he appreciates your help. >Go back to chatting to yourself [08:47] RB: oh cool~ senpai noticed me~ [08:48] RB: run bast run~ [08:48] RB: now cliiiiiiimb~~ [08:48] RB: yes~ i can place the alchemister~~ [08:48] RB: there~ [08:49] RB: now its up to you~ you crazy brit~ [08:49] RB: thats sure some way to climb~ [08:49] RB: omg~ [08:49] RB: that throw~ [08:49] RB: was amazing~
You stretch your arms, knowing your work is done. It's all up to the brit now, and you know he'll do fine. He just threw the totem right into the alchemiter. After doing a quick scan of the totem, the alchemiter produces a sword with a stone in it. [08:49] RB: huh~ [08:50] RB: a sword in stone~ [08:50] RB: thats adorable~ [08:50] RB: its like a mini excalibur~ [08:50] RB: pull it out~~~~~ [08:51] RB: yeeeessss~~~~ [08:51] RB: oo~ [08:51] RB: just keep trying~
Bast makes an attempt to pull the sword out, but fails miserably. He continues doing this for some time, using various different sword pulling techniques, all to no avail. You watch helplessly, as you can't help him with this.
>Attempt to motivate anyway [08:51] RB: i know the meteor is like right on top of you~[08:51] RB: and you cant even here me~[08:51] RB: but you must keep trying~[08:51] RB: ~[08:51] RB: nooo~[08:51] RB: dont~[08:51] RB: give~[08:51] RB: up~[08:52] RB: ~The brit is on the ground now, on his knees to be precise. He looks so defeated and sad, you can't help but feel bad for this lapse in confidence. You know he will pull through. And he does. Getting up, he looks at the sword confidently, with a smirk on his face. >Watch Bast enter the medium [08:52] RB: hes~~[08:52] RB: yes~[08:52] RB: there you go~[08:52] RB: thats the spirit~[08:53] RB: yeaaaaaahhh~[08:53] RB: one~[08:53] RB: final~[08:53] RB: pull~~[08:53] RB: ~~[08:53] RB: he did it~[08:53] RB: he actually did it~~[08:53] RB: ~And just like that, the brit has entered the medium.

You start being a interesting person just as she becomes IRIS. >IRIS: Explore. You have pulled your ANDROID PHONE and have started sliding around in this humongous cave. You cannot even see the ceiling right. It appears that there was a large hole on the roof exactly above where your house was placed, however. You narrowly avoid MONOLITHS, slide-strifing a few imps along the way, but they aren't numerous. You gain a little bit of BUILD GRIST (18) and LAPIS LAZULI GRIST (5) >Consult with FAIZSPRITE FAIZSPRITE: Yes? IRIS: So what are you and the portal things called? FAIZSPRITE: The access to the rest of your land and your main objective. There are seven of them. IRIS: So when I go to the seventh I find a way to save Earth or something? FAIZSPRITE: Oh, no. Your planet is gone. Dead. You aren't seeing it again. However, it might house lifeforms still. I am not allowed to disclose what kind. IRIS: Ah. That's... unfortunate. So what's our purpose? FAIZSPRITE: I am not allowed to say that. Your flirtatious friend will play a part, however. IRIS: What about those enemy things? What's up with them? I saw one of them that looked like you FAIZSPRITEThem, and others, will be prototyped at least 5 or 10 times due to each one of yours throwing something at us once or twice IRIS: Only twice, I assume, then
You stop conversing with FAIZSPRITE as you approach something large. Easily two times larger and wider than you, maybe even more. It is in a pedestal, towering over you. A statue of the ruler of this land. A beautiful faceless human figure, covered in a purple scarf. This ice it is sculpted of was carefully picked and then dyed somehow a deep purple. It reminds you of your web browser, NYX, with much more detail. The fluffiness and detail of the scarf just makes you want to touch it, but it's just ice. You keep staring at it like a total idiot until you snap out of your trance and slide back a little. The humanoid figure's arms and legs are not detailed, and as such it is simply the torso and the round, cueball like head, with a smooth shiny surface. Wrapped around it is the previously mentioned scarf, with fine detail you haven't seen in a statue in ages. Whoever worked on this must have worked on it for very, very long. And using ice, too! Which is impressive. You touch it for a while, and it is very, very smooth. You can't believe how smooth it is! You kinda need to get going, though, so you move off the path of the statue and keep sliding on forwards. Does this cave ever end? While sliding around, you decide to pester Bast on your cellphone. [07:04] -- hiddenMessage [HM] began pestering stalwartBrawler [SB] at 19:04 -- [07:04] HM: Sebastian. [07:04] SB: (Iris) [07:04] HM: My ghost follower thing has told me you need to 'build up' my house. [07:05] HM: Whatever that means. [07:05] HM: I assume I need to do that for Kell, too, so I'm going to sort that out when he comes on online [07:05] SB: (I ass0me it means t0 literally b0ild it 0pward) [07:05] HM: Yeah. [07:05] HM: There's some portals up there. [07:06] HM: At least, that's what it told me they were. [07:06] SB: (I see that\) [07:06] HM: They are the circle thing that's one of the Sburb logos. [07:06] SB: (I als0 see them ab0ve my 0wn h0me) [07:06] HM: Kell has them, too. [07:06] HM: I assume every single one of us has.

[07:11] HM: Neither to save it. [07:12] SB: (Hmm) [07:12] HM: We are the only humans to survive, ever. The five of us. [07:12] HM: At least, that's what my ghost told me.

==-> Be Dramatic.
You'll try! (But you've got no doubt you'll succeed.) You've been working on that thing you hinted at earlier for a little while now, but you think it might take a while yet. It's disappointing, to say the least. You wanted to show everyone before the game started, but now you've got a job to do and it'll have to wait. No worries! It'll be completed, for certain. That's your third rule! As long as you keep trying, there's no way you'll fail. This is aided by the fact that you're not one to admit defeat, even when things look mighty grim, such as right now. Speaking of that job, your pesterchum window's going crazy. Looks like it's time! > Mars: Perform.With pleasure!

==>PERFORMBut instead of performing, you decide to go back to being the anime girl. And you're preparing for her entry, not performing yet. The first thing you need to get is your weapon. Something that is effective, but not something that is boring or uses brute force. Good thing you have the perfect weapon in mind already! And it's right over there. >Equip Dual Black Ribbons to Strife SpecibusMuch better. Your friends occasionally look down on you for using this type of weapon, but you don't mind. What works, works. Now there's one other thing that you need to do to get ready for entry, and that'd be getting the thing in your chest. >Open chestYou open your chest, and are greeted with all of your "guilty pleasure" anime merchandise. If your friends will think less of you for watching it, the merchandise goes in here. You'd never show this to anyone, aside your sis. Because she's cool with it. And that's cool. >Empty chestWhy on earth would you do that? The thing you need is right on top! No need to make a huge mess that you'll have to clean up immediately afterwards. And that specific thing is the one exception you are making to the "Nobody sees inside my chest" rule. And there's a good reason for that. It's a pony plushie. Specifically, Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony. You're pretty sure that it would greatly hinder the imps if they had some pony FRIENDSHIP in them. And you totally aren't doing this just so that you can make Pinkie Pie your sprite. Nope. No siree, no hidden intentions here. >Captchalogue PonyYou put the Pinkie Plush into your Seed Modus. This is your favorite and only Modus that you have been using since you were little. You've always loved watching the growth of your items from unusable seeds to usable flowers. Sometimes, you would put items in there just to watch them grow. The only problem is that you have to wait a couple minutes for items to fully grow before you can use them, but patience is a virtue! You like to think of yourself as a patient person, who just gets bored if you wait for too long. Speaking of, your bored. >Pester IrisYou head over to your computer, open up Pesterchum, and begin messaging one of your chums.

Let me just give this walkthrough a read.RB: oh~ you found a walkthrough~~PD: Sort of!-- pallyDarling [PD] initializes connection. --RB: do you see me~~RB: im gonna wave my arms around~PD: Yes! You're very cute Lils, but that's no surprise!RB: aw~ thanks~PD: Anyways, let me run this macro and we'll have you in in no time.RB: we might need to go to the roof if we want enough room for everything~RB: my apartment isnt that big~RB: ~PD: Better start climbing, then!RB: alright~ lemme just grab this and this~ You grab your phone, unlike a certain Brit, then double check that you still have your ribbons and your plushie. Last thing you need is to go up to the roof and realize you forgot something. A mistake like that would probably be fatal! But you tend to not mind the dire consequences you'll have to face if you make a mistake. You'll just be wary and not make them! Or make them if they are destined to be made. You can't mess with fate, after all. PD: Oh, that's an interesting plushie... RB: uh~~~yeah~ its for the prototyping~ RB: gimme a sec to climb up~
>Head to the roof!After waving goodbye to your anime figures, a habit you started years ago which you like to think brings luck, you head out of your room, through the small kitchen, and into an even smaller room with just a ladder in it. You begin to climb. When you get to the top a couple minutes later, you're greeted by a bunch of machinery on the roof. All the machinery needed to play the game, all in one place. You're glad you don't have to run around your house like most other people. Having everything in one place is so much nicer. RB: oh sweet~ you got everything out already~ PD: Hang on, running the second one! You should probably put down the plushie and step back a bit. RB: got it~
As commanded, you put down your plushie, which had plenty of time to fully grow and become usable while you pestered your friends. You then watch, to your dismay, as your toilet flies into the cruxtruder. Immediately following, your plushie is hurled into the sprite and prototyped. You try your hardest not to squee at the success of prototyping Pinkie Pie. >Mask pony joy with toilet sadnessPD: Alright, now the rest's up to you!RB: my toilet ~PD: We'll fix it later!PD: I have a macro here just for that, actually.RB: also yay~ pinkie sprite~~RB: neat~PD: Ehehe...RB: dont judge me ~PD: Oh, don't be silly!RB: but i love being silly ~PD: I'm seeing a red tint already! Get to it, silly-lily! You don't have a whole lot of time!RB: prepunched card~ please~PD: Oh, I feel silly now. Here you go! Unfortunately, your plan to mask your pony joy failed. You hope everyone doesn't make fun of you for this. You just wanted to do what you thought was best for the group. And that involved prototyping Pinkie. Suddenly, you feel a light weight on your head. Mars had dropped the prepunched card on you while you were busy spacing out in your own thoughts. RB: thankee~ RB: lol~ RB: ill just slide that into here~ RB: and get the totem~ RB: now all thats left is to alchemite~ PD: Brrr. Can't believe your timer was so short... PD: This game is creepy. PD: Go, go, go! RB: and~ in~ we~ go~~ RB: ~~oh~
You take a step back from the cruxtruder, looking at the challenge the prepunch had presented to you. The concept is simple enough, and it's obvious what you have to do. You're not sure if you can do it though. The prepunched card had made an odd sort of karaoke station. With a giant projector. This is bad. You knew this was going to happen, you just didn't think it would be so soon! >Initiate Inner TurmoilRB: i guess i just have to~~~PD: Alright, er..., look Lily, no pressure but...PD: You better start singing your butt off, right now!RB: uh~ would it be bad to mention that i have a slight major case of stage fright~RB: and that thing is going to project me~RB: in this crowded city~RB: with everyone watching~RB: and~RB: oh god i cant do this~PD: Look, Lily I have macros here that say I should use them to threaten you, but I'm not gonna.RB: pls no~PD: Especially not these ones that say they’re meant to undress you. The hell is this!RB: wut~PD: But you have to sing! Or we all die!PD: So get to it!RB: but~~everyone is going to see me~RB: ~PD: Well, I'm the only one that's going to be able to actually judge you!PD: And there's absolutely no way you'll disappoint me!RB: ok~RB: ok~PD: It says so right here!RB: deep breathes~RB: i can do this~RB: yeah~RB: ~~~RB: wish me luck~~PD: You don't need it! It's your springtime! You take a deep breath. You can do this. You step up to the cruxtruder and grab the mic. Your entire body seems to be screaming at you to stop doing this and just die. But hell no. You look at the projector. There you are... Are you really doing this? >Hell. Fucking. Yes.They're relying on you. They all are. You have to enter the game. You can't die here, or else the whole order will be all screwed up and everyone will be doomed! Maybe. You don't really understand parts of the game. Only the stuff you've seen in your dreams. But Mars believes in you. And that's all you need. The music starts to play. You take out your ribbons. They won't be helpful, but why the hell not? Besides, they make you feel more at ease. >Enter Lily: thats great~ Lily: it starts with an earthquake~ Lily: birds and snakes an aeroplane~ Lily: and lenny bruce is not afraid~ Lily: Eye of a hurricane~ Lily: listen to yourself churn~ Lily: world serves its own needs~ Lily: dont misserve your own needs~ Lily: feed it up a knock~ speed~ grunt~ no strength~ Lily: the ladder starts to clatter with a fear fight~ Lily: down~ height~ Lily: wire in a fire~ Lily: representing seven games~ Lily: and a government for hire~ Lily: and a combat site~ Lily: left of west and coming in a hurry~ Lily: with the furys breathing~ Lily: down your neck~
Lily: team by team~ Lily: reporters baffled~ trumped~ tethered~ cropped~ Lily: look at that low plane~ Lily: fine~ then~ Lily: uh~oh~ overflow~ population~ common group~ Lily: but itll do~ Lily: save yourself~ Lily: serve yourself~ Lily: world serves its own needs~ Lily: listen to your heart bleed~ Lily: tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right~ right~ Lily: you vitriolic~ patriotic~ slam fight~ bright light~ Lily: feeling pretty psyched~
PD: Keep going! PD: Fuck yeah!
At this point, the meteor is literally right on top of you. But you honestly don't give a shit anymore. This is awesome!
Lily: its the end of the world as we know it~ Lily: its the end of the world as we know it~ Lily: its the end of the world as we know it~ Lily: and i feel fine~~
Everything flashes a bright white. And it's done. You've made it into the medium. >Do a victory danceYou do an awesome victory dance with your ribbons. Because that was awesome. Ten out of ten, would recommend. You weren't even thinking of all the people watching you, because you were so far into the zone! You were so far into the zone, you didn't even realize a world existed outside of you singing that song! HELL YEAH. ... Now that you've calmified and unhyped yourself, you take a look around. There isn't much to observe, other than the volcanoes. And lava. And grey rock. That was about it. Lots of volcanoes, lava, and grey rock. But of course, you've already seen this in your dream before, so nothing is really surprising. >Go back to pestering MarsRB: i did it~~RB: ~PD: You did! It was awesome.RB: thanks~RB: it was actually kinda fun~RB: seriously who gets to sing like that while a meteor is hurtling towards their house~~RB: what a rush~~PD: Ha... Not for me! I was scared out of my mind! You almost died!RB: wait~RB: lol~RB: remind me to pester the others after this~RB: i wonder how theyll react to the new and improved imps~RB: ~PD: Sure! But I have to enter myself, now, so let me go grab that crummy boy!RB: have fun with kell~PD: Talk to you later, Lils! Remember to prototype something else so your sprite can talk!RB: im gonna go do my second prototype~RB: i have the best idea for this one~RB: see yah mars~-- roseBud [RB] ceased pestering pallyDarling [PD] at 19:11 --PD: Aww, crap! I forgot!

>Be the other guy You mean the other girl. You are now IRIS. You have reached the end of your cave, fighting a few imps along the way. Guarding a imposing DOOR, you find... horse imps. Alright now this is fucking ridiculous. Who did this? What asshole loves horses so much they had to put their neighswag everywhere? God, look at their smiling faces and puffy hair. You want to kill them so bad. You are burning in rage right now, although you don't particularly show it very well. The horse imps sure are friendly! It pisses you off even more. Oh, what's that, Pinkie? You can't breathe? Good. 25 LAPIS LAZULI GRIST, 30 BUILD GRIST. >Consult with FAIZSPRITEIris: So what exactly am I supposed to do? FAIZSPRITE: You need to spread the word. FAIZSPRITE: Speak through THE GREAT HORN, and your people will listen. It'll bring them to a age of noticing each other, of caring for each other, and no longer being hushy. They'll unite as a community, ushering in the hushed whispers in the wind, praying off every lie they have told, every secret they have hidden. FAIZSPRITE: And they'll celebrate in the GRAND FESTIVAL, and welcome the Seer as their own. FAIZSPRITE: Long ago, a large beast took residence in the icy caverns and dungeons. Influenced by AGENTS, it used it's great voice to overshadow all others, creating the age of secrets and lies that this world lives in to this day. It also summoned some monsters as well, but that doesn't matter. FAIZSPRITE: Maybe one day, you shall meet that legendary beast. FAIZSPRITE: That, however, will come in time. For now, you need to wake up. IRIS: What? But... I'm already awake. FAIZSPRITE: In this world, yes. In the other world, you need to wake up. Here too, but not in a literal way. IRIS: Got it. And what about this door? FAIZSPRITE: Must be some kind of sidequest puzzle. You can ignore it, if you want, but I'd avise otherwise if you want nice amounts of grist and boondollars. IRIS: Got it, see you later
>Observe doorIt is a dark blue door, surrounded by whatever that material the monoliths are made of, with scriptures in them. Many turtles and frogs are depicted, along with other strange nonsense symbols. In the center of the door, there is a weird symbol you also do not recognize, but that you find very nice. You kind of wish you could imprint it and put it in a shirt... >Chat with Lily[09:43] -- hiddenMessage [HM] began pestering roseBud [RB] at 21:43 --[09:43] HM: Why are the imps cartoon horses.[09:43] HM: Did you do this.[09:43] RB: maaayyyybe~[09:43] RB: ~[09:44] HM: I will destroy everything you hold dear.[09:44] RB: relax~ they should be much easier to kill now~[09:44] HM: Oh yeah, they are.[09:44] RB: or more passive because of friendliness~[09:44] RB: yay~[09:44] HM: Kinda hard to... uh... choke them to death still, though.[09:45] HM: Say "I'm a terrible thing", Pinkie. Oh, you can't, because your air ducts are under duress.[09:45] RB: im glad that my prototyping helped~~[09:45] RB: ~[09:46] HM: It's a good way to relieve stress, at least. Always wanted to see those things flail around without breath.[09:46] RB: i was actually just about to do my second prototype~[09:47] RB: the one that doesnt affect the imps~[09:47] HM: Oh.[09:47] HM: What's it gonna be?[09:47] RB: have you ever watched ~no game no life~~[09:47] HM: No.[09:47] RB: aw~ you should~[09:47] RB: its basically about these two siblings~[09:48] RB: who are like~ super duper intelligent~[09:48] RB: like~[09:48] HM: I don't watch a lot of stuff... I think I watched Madoka once, and this... incest anime with Kiss in the name but I never finished it because it was... horribly gross.[09:48] HM: Interesting premise.[09:48] RB: there smartness is on a whole other level from earth people~[09:48] HM: I'll check it out... uh... if I can still download stuff with everyone on earth dead.[09:48] RB: so this god comes and whisks them off~[09:48] RB: to this gaming world~[09:49] RB: i have a certain item that represents the game~[09:49] HM: Interesting.[09:49] RB: and/or anime~[09:49] HM: What is it?[09:49] RB: a ~rare piece~~[09:50] RB: a customized king from chess~[09:50] HM: That's... cool.[09:51] HM: I still need to think of something to upgrade mine with. It can talk just fine, but I dunno, maybe it'd do something else.[09:52] RB: yours can already talk~~[09:52] HM: I guess.[09:52] RB: mine just makes weird symbolly things~[09:52] RB: its really funny~[09:53] HM: That's weird. I thought it could talk because I prototyped it with something that already talked in it's source material...[09:53] HM: But Pinkie talks, and yours don't.[09:53] HM: I guess it's just random chance, then.[09:53] RB: nah~ your probably just special~[09:54] RB: but once i do my second prototype~ minell be talking as well~~[09:55] HM: I hope Bast has been busy building up my home. I'm nearing the end of this cave and I've accumulated a sizeable amount of grist already.[09:56] RB: i should get to collecting grist~[09:56] HM: There's a door at the end, but it's locked and I can't enter.[09:56] RB: locked door~~[09:56] HM: Has a weird symbol on it, looks like a black hole but without the hole.[09:56] RB: obv puzzle~[09:56] HM: Yeah, duh.[09:56] HM: I'll find out something about it, I'm sure.[09:57] HM: The walls here are clearly artificial, too, at the end of the cave.[09:57] HM: Has those weird symbols with the amphibians on them.[09:57] RB: cool~[09:57] RB: i wish i could help~[09:57] RB: but this is your puzzle to solve~[09:57] RB: ~[09:57] HM: Don't worry about it.[09:58] HM: Even if I don't solve it, it's not like it'll be the end of the world.[09:58] HM: My sprite has stated there are sidequests that you can ignore, so.[09:58] RB: but looooot~[09:58] HM: Oh, I'll definitely give the puzzle a try, don't get me wrong.[09:59] RB: after you finish that~ you should head back to your home~[09:59] HM: Sure.[09:59] RB: you can prob make some cool gear with the grist you have~[09:59] HM: You can do that? [09:59] HM: I mean, I knew this grist had more to it.[09:59] HM: and that I'd need pre-punched cards.[09:59] HM: But I didn't know it involved gear.[09:59] RB: o~[10:00] RB: have you done anything with your machine stuff besides entering the game~~[10:02] HM: Not yet, I left my home pretty much immediately.[10:02] RB: that explains it~[10:02] HM: I'll definitely play around with the machines later, though.[10:03] RB: you know the codes on the back of the cards~~[10:03] RB: the captcha things~~[10:03] HM: Oh, those.[10:03] RB: yeah~ those~[10:03] HM: I remember looking at a few years ago, no idea what they were for.[10:03] RB: you can punch the code into this machine~[10:04] RB: and itll punch a card for you~[10:04] HM: Is that their only use? I can't believe theyve pretty much always existed only for this game.[10:04] RB: and you can use that punched card~[10:04] RB: to make the thing the code belongs to~[10:04] HM: Interesting. I guess I can duplicate things then.[10:04] RB: but it gets even better~~[10:05] RB: you can take one code~[10:05] HM: Oh?[10:05] RB: and punch it onto an already punched card~[10:05] RB: and~[10:05] RB: merge~[10:05] RB: them~[10:05] HM: ...So that's what you meant by sweet gear[10:05] RB: yup~[10:05] RB: ~[10:05] HM: That's interesting, I'll play around with it later.[10:05] HM: Thanks.[10:06] RB: your welcome~~[10:06] HM: How has Mars been doing, though?[10:06] RB: oh~[10:06] RB: shes fine~[10:06] HM: Great![10:06] RB: she helped me enter and everything~[10:06] RB: it was fun~[10:06] HM: I'm sure it was.[10:06] RB: i got to sing an end of the world song in front of a whole city while the meteor was right on top of us~[10:06] RB: it was epic~[10:07] HM: That's really cool.[10:07] HM: I'm sure Mars was really impressed.[10:07] RB: it wasnt that impressive~[10:07] RB: just fun to do~[10:07] RB: im sure my singing sucked ~[10:07] HM: Don't beat yourself down.[10:07] HM: I think your singing is very good... even if I've never heard it myself.[10:08] RB: thanks~[10:08] RB: what was your challenge~~[10:08] HM: I had... to stand in a spotlight[10:08] HM: Miles easier, I don't really understand.[10:08] RB: prob because i entered later~[10:08] HM: Kell's was easy too, he had to wait for a hourglass to stop ticking.[10:09] RB: im pretty sure the difficulty increases as you go on~[10:09] RB: so the later people dont breeze through~[10:09] RB: mars is sure to have a good one~[10:11] HM: Oh yeah.[10:11] HM: Let's hope the game doesn't have her crawling around, that would be cruel.[10:12] RB: shell be fine~ trust me~[10:12] HM: I think... this game might be inciting personal growth on us, actually.[10:12] RB: shes quite the girl~[10:12] RB: really~~[10:12] HM: I am not sure what your singing means, but Mars' will have to do with her narcissism, most likely.[10:12] HM: She'll have to learn to care about others.[10:12] RB: oh~ the challenges~[10:12] HM: I don't know why the game is trying to accomplish this.[10:12] RB: yeah~ lemme tell you~[10:13] RB: singing is not easy~[10:13] RB: if you have horrible stage fright~[10:13] RB: it was horrifying at first ~[10:13] HM: Do we really need to care about stage fright if we aren't going to meet with each other- wait, let me consult with my sprite.[10:13] RB: but mars gave me the motivation to do it~ ==-> IRIS: Will we be able to meet each other in game? FAIZSPRITE: Who knows? YOu'll meet some familiar things. Maybe your friends will be one of those. Argh. Okay

You captchalogue 8 SYMBOL TILES. There are square holes made in the walls due to your removal. >Rearrange them!The symbol array goes like this: FROG > TURTLE HEAD > SWIRLY THING > SCRIPTURE > FROG > TURTLE HEAD > SQUARE OBJECT > SEVERAL BALLS IN A PATTERN You rearrange them in a way that sounds right, but it does nothing. You keep at it for a good while, honestly, until you manage to UNLOCK THE DOOR with: SWIRLY THING > SEVERAL BALLS IN A PATTERN > TURTLE HEAD > SWIRLY THING > SCRIPTURE > FROG > SQUARE OBJECT > TURTLE HEAD >EnterYou push the door open with ease. In front of you, there is... A large monster that easily towers over you. It is very muscular, clearly based on the prototyping with All Might. >Iris: Flip the fuck outThis thing takes one step towards you and you know you're fucked, so you just freak out internally. But either way, you rush towards it, Faizsprite near you! >STRIFEYeah you'd totally be cool with fighting this thing like a badass but it's kinda too busy stomping on you for that to happen >FAIZSPRITE: Be useful on more than just information for onceBlaster modeFAIZSPRITE shoots a laser array at the OGRE!! It is set back by now, a bit burned. You take this opporturnity to get off it's beefy feet and start delivering a hearty beatdown to it's legs. Not that it makes a difference. FAIZSPRITE continues blasting it until it runs out of ammo, in which it retreats and begins reloading. This takes about a third of the ogre's health down. You climb the ogre with some difficulty and bruise it's face up a little. It is not satisfied by this. It grabs you and throws you at a wall, screwing your HEALTH GEL pretty badly. You've still got fight in you, however, as FAIZSPRITE finishes reloading and continues blasting at the ogre, reducing it's health to half. You return to pummel the ogre, taking it's health down a little. FAIZSPRITE brings it to about a third of it's health before being swatted away. You manage to defeat it by driving your fist as hard as you could through the head. 100 BUILD GRIST, 60 LAPIS LAZULI GRIST, 30 ALEXANDRITE GRIST. Yeah!!!!! >Search for lootYou find a chest. Opening it reveals 500 BOONDOLLARS. Pretty good for a beginner sidequest. Faizsprite and you almost high five before realizing you'd just prototype him, so you don't. Faizsprite gives you a amulet. FAIZSPRITE:Take this. It'll allow you to summon me at will. Normally I'd give you this only when you went to the second gate, but you'll probably need my help more than normal, so there's that. I'll go back to your house now. See you.
You nod as FAIZSPRITE flies off, you exiting the mini-boss room(?) yourself, pretty exhausted. >Be pestered by someoneYou are pestered by BAST. Unfortunately, a ring of void denies any outside entities into seeing the conversation. ANd by that we mean you, the reader. And by that I mean the person who will post the conversation has not yet posted. >Head onwards, homeboundYou don't bother with the imps. Arriving home, you decide to play around with the machines. >Captchalogue something, punch that, punch your outfit, punch another outfit you have and overlay the cards together and finally finish the process with the totem lathe and alchemiterYou do all that, popping a totem from the cruxtruder, insterting it into the totem lathe. You captchalogue your outfit, a hoodie you had but don't use and a cool motorcycle toy with chains you call the MACHINE HOODIE. Pretty sure it's from one of Bast's shows, actually. Punching those cards and going through the process necessary for alchemizing, you... 20 LAPIS LAZULI Hoodie || Outfit && Machine Hoodie Figuart = REAL MACHINE HOODIE Oh man this is so cool. Bast is gonna go wild when he sees you alchemizing KR shit. >More alchemizing!Gauntlets || FAIZ BLASTER 100,000 ? 500 ? 900 ? 1,000 ALEXANDRITE 500 LAPIS LAZULI This looks like something cool, but it costs a fortune of grist you don't even know. Gauntlets && MACHINE HOODIE 10 ALEXANDRITE 50 LAPIS LAZULI 10 BUILD GRIST You create the HOUDINI ARMS. Guaranteed to get you out of a pinch! Computer && HOUDINI ARMS 80 LAPIS LAZULI You create the DEEP CONNECT HOUDINI ARMS. Granted with the power of a skeptic magician and a computer, you can now communicate with friends without utilizing a cellphone and kick ass too! (Warning: not water proof) FAIZ BLASTER && DEEP CONNECT HOUDINI ARMS 100,000 ? 200,000,000 ? 1,000 LAPIS LAZULI Yeah, this shit you ain't get any time soon. SHERLOCK HOLMES POSTER && OUTFIT 10 ALEXANDRITE 5 LAPIS LAZULI You create the HARDENED DETECTIVE'S SNOW TREKKER. Nice! BAD FANFICTION || HARDENED DETECTIVE'S SNOW TREKKER 60 LAPIS LAZULI YAOI DETECTIVE'S SNOW TREKKER. Oh god burn this immediately. GAUNTLETS && OUTFIT You create the ARMORED SNOW PLOWER It's a set of cool nice blue armor that looks like your outfit. It's kinda cold to the touch, though. You head to the living room and captchalogue some of your BRO'S TABLETOP GAMES TORN ROGUE CHARACTER CLASS DESCRIPTION PAGE FROM DND BOOK || REAL MACHINE HOODIE 30 LAPIS LAZULI You create the MOTOSTEALER. It's a blue chained hoodie, except it looks like the rogue's outfit in this class description page! Very nice, but you don't really wanna use it, since you have a sneaking paranoia that you'll become a cat loving drunkard if you don it. WARHAMMER 40K GREY KNIGHT FIGURINE && ARMORED SNOW PLOWER = This takes all of your ALEXANDRITE and reduces your LAPIS LAZULI GRIST to a stupidly low amount, but you make the SNOW GREY KNIGHT ARMOR. Christ, this thing is huge. And sooo cool. Too bad you can't wear it. >Celebrate and go slay some more imps so you can make more cool stuffYou go outside and decide to test your COOL SHIT, but nobody wants to see that, so >Switch to someone else
