Hiya. Guess I'll join this. Name: Shay Domenice Age: 16 Race: Hooman Pesterchum: adumbratingGrace Text/Blood(If applicable): She speaks *n wh*te t* c*nceal herself, and sh*ws *f her n*nja stars *nstead *f us*ng o*s, i*s, *r ap*str*phes.
Description/Sprite: Straight black hair, tied up in a ponytail at the back. Covered in slim, black clothing, and has a black bandana tied around her head. She ironically has white eyes. Captchalogue Modus: Kuji-Kiri Modus (It’s a complicated one. The modus is made up of 9 intersecting lines, forming a grid, four vertical lines (Energy, Awareness, Healing, Creation) and five horizontal ones (Power, Harmony, Intuition, Dimension, and Absolute). Each line has a corresponding word and hand gesture. Items can be placed in the modus by using two hand gestures to put the item into a spot where it’s functionality matches with the corresponding line words. Items are withdrawn from the modus by repeating the two hand gestures.) Strife Specibus: Sniperkind & Daggerkind God Tier: Thief of Mind Planet: Land of Conspiracies and Darkness MSPA-style Intro: A single girl sits in the middle of her room, enjoying some time to herself as she polishes her new sniper rifle. It just so happens that exactly one week ago was this girl’s sixteenth birthday, the age where she finally got her own name.
>MISS SNIPER
No, no, no. This girl got her name one week ago. It’s not being assigned to her today! Her name is…
>SHAY DOMENICE
Your name is SHAY DOMENICE. You have had quite the INTERESTING life, given your certain FAMILY HERITAGE. From the day of your birth, you have been trained in the arts of an ASSASSIN. Not that you find that bad or anything. You actually enjoy SNEAKING AROUND and SHOOTING DUMMIES. You have found particular interest in SNIPER RIFLES. In fact, you just got a new SNIPER RIFLE a week ago for your birthday. You have found that you are a SPLENDID SHOT, and are quite handy with your HIDDEN DAGGERS if ambushed, which your uncle SIMULATES FREQUENTLY. You have also become quite good at breaking CODES, which has extended to PUZZLE SOLVING in general.
You do have one OBSESSION outside of being an ASSASSIN. Sorta. You love NINJAS, and everything about NINJAS. You love watching NINJA MOVIES and throwing NINJA STARS, even though you’re no good with them. You have made a collection of NINJA GEAR, from KATANAS to NINJA FIGURINES to LOTS OF NINJA STARS. You’re also a CAT person. You have two CATS, one WHITE (Yin), and one BLACK (Yang).
You don’t actually have any FRIENDS, aside from the ones that you have met ONLINE. They keep telling you that there’s this new GAME coming out that they’re going to play together in a GROUP. Even though you’re not a GAMER, you’ve decided to join the FUN as well. TL;DR (If you want): Trained assassin who loves ninjas and sniper rifles. Has two cats. Skype (Optional, but highly suggested): EeveeFTW Drakeon (Shay Domenice) and medisour (Tory Sulley) has been accepted and now IT'S FULL WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We'll start the RP once everyone's online. Until then, I would strongly advise all of you to ADD EACH OTHER'S PESTERCHUM (RP HANDLES). |

ResidenceConfined
---
We are Scion.
We are the last voice of man.
We remain here as proof.
See our forms.
Heart of stone. Blood of tar. Flesh of steel.
We no longer think. We cannot think.
We cannot begrudge abandoning all for prayer.
Yes. We are creatures of prayer.
Repeating our last wish again and again, we became monstrosities.
We do not wish for destruction at your hands as we do not seek to destroy you.
Desire lingers... You, and us.
How many times has it been?
How many more times must you seek an answer?
How many more times must you call back?
The bodies can but pray on...
Even if all is to erode away.
Now, go on. We are the frail Scions.
Pierced with a thousand arrows, cut with a thousand swords.
Until dawn separates us at last.
All is as its Dignity!
>Wake up.
You wake, opening your eyes in a rather sluggish fashion.
You don't ever know what that dream was ever about, nor you are interested in remembering more of it.
You get out of the bed in the only sensible manner, and tidy it nice and neat.
>Enter Name.
This young boy already was given a name on his 13th birthday on his HONORARY PLACRONYM, and thus does not require any more names!!
Plus, he would like to see you do better.
You just decide to take a look around.
>Examine room.
Your name is EVAN HALBERT.
Today is... May 14th, 2016, 1:00 PM. Wow, that's quite a nap you've taken.
You have plenty of HOBBIES and INTERESTS. You enjoy playing VIDEO GAMES, especially ones of the 'grow stronger' kind. (Also known as ACTION RPGS or METROIDVANIAS.) You also have an interest in BESTSELLERS FICTION. (You are currently reading DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE right now.) You also are fond of ASTRONOMY, keeping a personal TELESCOPE in your SYLLADEX.
You also have a variety of VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACKS, stored in your personal CD RACK. You tend to be more of an inside person- thus you mostly read books, play video game, and listen to some music for the most of the day.
You live with your DOTING FATHER in a two-story house, in the state of VERMONT, USA. Your mother is on a business trip overseas in RUSSIA.
What is your preferred action as of the current situation?
>Continue reading DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE.
You think you will pick it up later in the noon. For now, though, you have only your FRIENDS to talk to.
>Talk to a friend.
There are just so many options, that you don't know who to talk to!
Perhaps you can decide?
>Scroll down.
>Be pestered by someone.

[02:19] CV: Been pretty good!
[02:20] CV: How you been doing Evan?
[02:20] CA: Peachy.
[02:20] CV: Wait you're Evan right I have a shit memory
[02:21] CA: Yes, that I am.
[02:21] CV: Good
[02:21] CA: But besides that.
[02:21] CA: So I believe today is the day the SBURB public release, version 1.00 Shale spreads over mailboxes worldwide.
[02:21] CA: Is that correct?
[02:21] CV: Oh yeah I was thinking "hey there's a special thing today"
[02:22] CV: I think that's the one
[02:23] CA: Yeah, that is right.
[02:23] CV: You know for such a hyped game I'd think it'd cost sonethibg
[02:23] CV: *something
[02:23] CA: Costs next to nothing compared to other AAA games, actually.
[02:24] CA: 20 bucks or something?
[02:24] CA: I don't know
[02:24] CA: I heard they're going to experiment with virtual reality and such.
[02:24] CV: I hope it doesn't make me giddy
[02:25] CV: I remember the first time they tried
[02:25] CA: How did it go?
[02:25] CV: I didn't even try and I felt ill for like an hour
[02:25] CV: After watching five minutes of footage
[02:26] CA: Ah.
[02:26] CV: But I have high-ish hopes for this
[02:26] CA: Me too.
[02:26] CA: Did you get the copy yet?
[02:27] CV: Haven't checked my mail yet
[02:28] CA: Well, Skaianet's shipping services are VERY fast,

You are now the another person. What shall he be named?
> Enter name
...well, you would, but he is already approaching 17; you'll have to stick with MARK FERROUS.
> Examine room
You live in a FLAT in SINGAPORE with your MOM, and despite your interest in GAMING, you don't have SHELVES UPON SHELVES of GAMES. Instead, you turn your INTERESTS to FLASH GAMES or various FORUMS, and occasionally dabble into CHEMISTRY. Unfortunately, relative to most of your friends, you live in a BOTTOM-TIER TIMEZONE, though your weekends let you power through such weakness.
==>
You have also, with the help of a few shady law deals, set up your own MINIATURE LABORATORY in your room. It lets you conduct CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENTS, though arguably it's just there for the ACID, for super emergencies.
Oh no wait a friend's pestering you
> Mark: Answer Evan
You have the conversation as seen above, and at that moment you set off to get to your mail. Your MOM wasn't too strict, but it'd be suspicious if you snuck out at 3 AM just to get some mail.
(Uh... may or may not have run out of steam. Or ideas.)
Just as you were about to step outside, though, the screen abruptly changes to a character select screen. Who do you choose this time around?
(Okay I may or may not have pulled an Alpha Kids character select thing.)

>Deal with stuff
You noticed movement in your window. You know what always comes next. At least this ambush was pretty easy to spot. Your uncle jumps through the window, which is open because of things like this. If it wasn't open, it'd be shattered by now, and open anyway.
>Strife.
Before your uncle can attack you, you make two hand gestures, summoning a smoke bomb.
>Use smoke bomb!
You throw the smoke ball at the ground at full force. A grey smoke envelops your room.
>Abscond
You get out of there as quickly as you can. That's usually the case in your uncle's ambushes, given he can and will win every time you spar. He never holds back, and you don't expect him to. Best you can do is flee and wait it out.
>Wait it out
After sufficiently waiting it out, you head back to your room and computer to finish your conversation. You know, the one that got rudely interrupted by your uncle's ambush.

[11:43] FM: <For example, that ghost... >
[11:44] FM: <Like, I once had a dream I remember pretty well>
[11:45] FM: <Like, I went to some kind of... large house or palace, and in the very first room, there was a light switch>

[11:46] FM: <I woke up, but not in my usual room>
[11:47] FM: <it was like... this weird room resembling mine, but with purple walls>

>Go back to the present
A single girl sits in the middle of her room, enjoying some time to herself as she polishes her new sniper rifle. It just so happens that exactly one week ago was this girl’s sixteenth birthday, the age where she finally got her own name.
>MISS SNIPER
No, no, no. This girl got her name one week ago. It’s not being assigned to her today! Her name is…
>SHAY DOMENICE
Your name is SHAY DOMENICE. You have had quite the INTERESTING life, given your certain FAMILY HERITAGE. From the day of your birth, you have been trained in the arts of an ASSASSIN. Not that you find that bad or anything. You actually enjoy SNEAKING AROUND and SHOOTING DUMMIES. You have found particular interest in SNIPER RIFLES. In fact, you just got a new SNIPER RIFLE a week ago for your birthday. You have found that you are a SPLENDID SHOT, and are quite handy with your HIDDEN DAGGERS if ambushed, which your uncle SIMULATES FREQUENTLY. You have also become quite good at breaking CODES, which has extended to PUZZLE SOLVING in general.
You do have one OBSESSION outside of being an ASSASSIN. Sorta. You love NINJAS, and everything about NINJAS. You love watching NINJA MOVIES and throwing NINJA STARS, even though you’re no good with them. You have made a collection of NINJA GEAR, from KATANAS to NINJA FIGURINES to LOTS OF NINJA STARS. You’re also a CAT person. You have two CATS, one WHITE (Yin), and one BLACK (Yang).
You don’t actually have any FRIENDS, aside from the ones that you have met ONLINE. They keep telling you that there’s this new GAME coming out that they’re going to play together in a GROUP. Even though you’re not a GAMER, you’ve decided to join the FUN as well.
>Name sniper rifleThat's right! Today, exactly one week after your birthday, was the day you decided you should name your sniper rifle. You wanted to spend a week with it first, so that you could learn it's personality and not give it a stupid name. >HEADSHOTThat...Is actually fine. Short, sweet, and to the point. Plus, the whole point of a sniper rifle is to hit the head, and HEADSHOT is no exception. You formally dub your sniper rifle HEADSHOT, then equip it in your Strife Specibus. You look over at your computer. Looks like someone is pestering you. >Pet cat insteadIt would be rude to ignore one of your good friends! But..your cat is a great friend too. You decide to pet Yin and Yang twice each. They get jealous when the other one gets more attention. You then head over to your desk with your computer, and answer your chum. >Get pestered

[02:57] AA: Good day, Shay.
[02:57] AA: How are you faring this fine, sunny day?
[02:57] AG: Hell*.
[02:58] AG: I*m d**ng f*ne.
[02:58] AG: H*w are y*u?
[02:58] AA: I'm doing quite well. Albeit rather bored and waiting for my copy of SBURB to come in the mail.
[02:59] AG: I st*ll have t* check my ma*l f*r the game.
[02:59] AG: Th*ugh I*m alm*st certa*n I*ll run *nt* my uncle *n the way.
[03:00] AA: I suppose that is a bad thing for you, then. Looking at the way you tell me that.
[03:00] AG: He l*kes t* ambush me *ccas**nally.
[03:00] AG: It*s f*ne and all, keeps me *n my t*es.
[03:01] AG: But r*ght n*w I just want t* get the game.
[03:01] AA: Yes. The occasional strife is something that cannot be avoided.
[03:01] AA: After all, I have three older brothers which all live somewhere in the city.
[03:02] AG: Mhm.
[03:02] AG: S* what have y*u heard *f the game?
[03:02] AA: That it is a very engaging and interesting game. After all, that is why I bought it.

[03:04] AG: Wh*ch *s *ne *f the reas*ns I was *ntr*gued en*ugh t* buy *t.
[03:04] AA: I agree on that notion. I am curious as to how this game would play out.
[03:05] AA: Especially considering this is a multiplayer-only game, that is.
[03:05] AG: Yes, I was just ab*ut t* ment**n that
[03:06] AG: I*ve heard there*s a server and a player w*rk*ng t*wards the same g*al.
[03:06] AG: I*ve als* heard that y*u*re supp*sed t* create a l**p w*th mult*ple pe*ple

[03:07] AG: S* we sh*uld be able t* get the ent*re gr*up *nt* *ne game sess**n.
[03:07] AA: Yes. I do wonder in what perspective or way the game plays. It should make for a breathtaking experience, I'd reckon.
[03:08] AG: I t**, am cur**us as t* h*w the game w*ll play *ut.
[03:08] AG: Other than s*mple c*ncepts, I*ve heard n*th*ng *f the game.
[03:08] AG: Includ*ng actual gameplay and st*ry.
[03:09] AA: It sounds like a game hidden behind some sort of mysterious veil. Considering that there is little to no real information on this game, it is either new or a game that's completely out of the loop.
[03:09] AG: I supp*se they created the mystery *n *rder t* draw pe*ple *n.
[03:10] AG: And *f that was the*r plan, *t certa*nly w*rked.
[03:11] AA: The question is how many people have gotten it already. So far, I know that us eight have gotten the game. But who else?
[03:11] AG: The game *s p*pular, as far as I kn*w.
[03:11] AG: There*s l*ts *f stuff *nl*ne ab*ut pe*ple buy*ng *t.
[03:12] AA: Yet there is no actual information regarding the game at hand. And that brings us back to square one.
[03:12] AG: Indeed *t d*es.
[03:12] AA: Is there some sort of policy that prevents anyone from leaking information from the game itself to prevent any spoilers from reaching people that have plans on buying said game?
[03:12] AA: Or is there something more to it?
[03:13] AG: I bel*eve there *s s*meth*ng m*re t** *t.
[03:13] AG: Wh*ch just makes me all the m*re *ntr*gued
[03:14] AA: Now we just wait for us to get the hands on the game.
[03:14] AA: And then, the fun begins.
[03:14] AG: Indeed.

The screen suddenly switches to a BLONDE-HAIRED BOY, who is sitting behind his EVER-SO TRUSTY COMPUTER. Presumabely playing some kind of COMPUTER GAME. What will his name be, you ask? Well, he, uh, already has one. Sorry, but no silly names this time. > _ > CLEM HARDFORD > CLEM HARDFORD ✓Your name is CLEM HARDFORD, although your MOTHER always calls you CLEMOND, because that is your FULL NAME. You prefer to go by CLEM, though. You are an avid COMPUTER GAMER and love to read BOOKS, including COMIC BOOKS, as a way to pass time as well. Usually, though, you play games like LEAGUE OF LEGENDS and watch YOUTUBE if you have nothing BETTER TO DO. You think you're pretty good at LEAGUE OF LEGENDS and play it regularly. Today is May 13th, 2016, and you live in a SMALL HOUSE in the far-off country of THE NETHERLANDS. Despite that, you've made quite a bit of INTERNET FRIENDS. You never had trouble speaking proper ENGLISH, as playing said VIDEO GAMES and watching TELEVISION SHOWS helped you develop that certain skill from a young age. Your MOTHER has her own SECOND-HAND CLOTHING STORE, and you think that what she's doing is PRETTY DARN COOL. You sometimes help her with CHORES. You're also not someone who GOES OUT a lot, either. ==>You are currently playing A GAME OF LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. Your team seems to be losing PRETTY DARN HARD, and you can't help but BLAME IT ON YOUR TEAM. You think you were playing pretty well, but YOUR TEAMMATES WERE JUST SO GOD DAMN BAD. You felt a bit bad blaming them on it, though. You feel like TAKING A BREAK from the game and PESTERING SOME OF YOUR FRIENDS to see if they've got any news on that FANCY LITTLE GAME that you've all decided on playing. > Pester TC.[09:00] -- alchemistsAssassin [AA] began pestering temporalConductor [TC] at 21:00 --[09:00] AA: Hello, Aria.[09:00] AA: How are you faring this fine, sunny day?[09:02] TC: O.[09:02] TC: Definitely![09:02] TC: Although it's not sunny where I live.;[09:02] TC: More... cloudy.[09:02] AA: Cloudy. Hm. Yes, weather can differ between countries. I understand.[09:03] AA: Also, I meant 'faring' as in 'doing'.[09:03] TC: Oh![09:03] TC: Right, your language[09:03] TC: Hmm, I'm just fine! [09:04] AA: That is great to hear. What do you mean by 'my language', though? It is considered proper English by my definitions.[09:04] TC: Oh, no! You're just too formal.[09:04] TC: It isn't incorrect in any way.[09:05] AA: There's no such thing as being 'too formal'. It only adds to the greatness that is language. The way we convey words into an understandable means of communication.[09:06] TC: Uh, yeah, wow. Now I know how it's like to be lectured, even though I do that practically everyday...[09:07] AA: Oh no, it wasn't a lecture. It was just me rambling on on the subject of language. Nothing too special for my standards, that is.[09:07] TC: Yeah, my choice of words there weren't the best![09:09] AA: There is no problem in using words that don't match my expectations. Each and everyone uses their own way of speaking and typing, and that's something that cannot be helped.[09:10] AA: So, I don't mind.[09:10] TC: Hey, I guess you're right? What have you been doing today?[09:11] AA: I have been playing some League of Legends and read some books. Nothing too unusual. [09:11] TC: Oh, great![09:11] TC: SPeaking of games...[09:12] TC: You know what's happening today, right?[09:13] AA: Why yes I do, Aria. Us eight have ordered SBURB. Some have received it in the mail already, and some haven't. Including me. I haven't received any notice or seen a copy of SBURB at the door yet.[09:14] TC: I have already received it, but I don't really remember where I put it earlier this morning. I was waiting for you guys to wake up so I could play. I'll find it sooner or later, my room is a mess though.[09:15] AA: I just hope that my mom doesn't put it somewhere where I absolutely can't find it. She's busy with her store as usual.[09:15] TC: My aunt doesn't usually care what I'm up to privately, so I should be fine, unless she takes me over to practice.[09:16] AA: Hm. Neither does my mother. But I do not think that she is not going to interfere at all. She might question my antics sooner or later.[09:17] TC: Antics is my middle name, you should know that.[09:17] TC: It's not like practice is a bad thing, anyways. Earlier I took some time to play before you pestered me, it was getting pretty good also. I don't mind, though![09:17] AA: You played SBURB?[09:18] TC: No![09:18] TC: A song, dummy![09:18] TC: I can't play it by myself, anyways ;P[09:19] AA: Oh, yes. I apologize for my mix-up.[09:19] TC: That's fine, everyone has mistakes.[09:20] TC: I have piano practice today. It's a different instrument everyday, I like that my aunt mixes it up, makes it all the better.[09:22] AA: You sure are instrumental. I tend to focus more on videogaming. Hand-eye coördination, reaction speed... It all helps.[09:22] TC: Well, I do play games on the side when I'm bored.[09:23] TC: I prefer to take things slowly, you know? If you play music fast, it doesn't sound all that great. You need to take your time and make it a pleasure for the ear, like eating cake or some really tasty food. You need to appreciate it and not just eat it all up like a greedy person![09:23] TC: That's just how it works [09:24] AA: Tempo is key with music. So is it with gaming, although League of Legends focuses on what's more important; objectives, map control, teamplay...[09:24] AA: It all comes together into a big pile of awareness that you need to control.[09:24] TC: Oh, of course![09:25] TC: In a orchestra, you need to pay attention and play along with the other musicians! If you're out of tune, everything just sounds weird![09:25] TC: But I've never been in one, I don't have many friends that like music.[09:26] AA: An orchestra is a melody of many tunes that come together into one, beautifully crafted musical piece. It is truly something worth listening to.[09:26] AA: I do like myself some classic music from time to time.[09:27] TC: Yes! It is the skills of many talented people working together to create a fine quality soup, like the one you'd see in a 5-star restaurant! And classic music is very, very nice! It is what I play most of the time.[09:28] AA: A soup, eh? That's a nice analogy. Although, yes, it is true what you say. SBURB will be something akin to that; a team working together to achieve something. What? We do not know yet. But we may find out soon.[09:30] TC: Oh, well there are a lot of teamplay games![09:30] TC: Most likely, we just have to beat the game, yeah?[09:31] AA: Whatever the goal is in SBURB, that is. For all we know it might be an open-world game.[09:31] TC: A sandbox? I've heard rumors that it's virtual reality.[09:32] AA: A virtual reality sandbox game. Is that not possible?[09:33] TC: It definitely is![09:33] TC: But it must have taken forever to make...[09:33] AA: Who knows. Today's technology is amazing, and we cannot simply assume how long one's game has taken to make.[09:34] TC: I guess![09:34] TC: Our technology could be better though! I'd love to have more hands so I can be my 12-in-1 orchestra![09:36] AA: Hah. I'd love to see what technology that would be.[09:38] TC: It would be very nice! Hopefully it'll be a reaity in the next years.[09:39] AA: Although the fact that it would look weird would also be taken into account.[09:41] TC: Totally, yeah.[09:41] TC: But a lot of new technology nowadays looks weird a bit![09:42] AA: Well, yes. That can't be helped.[09:42] AA: I mean, maybe it could, but hey.[09:42] AA: It is as it is.[09:43] TC: I guess they want practicality over aesthetics![09:44] AA: Aesthetics is something important, though. I want everything to look like something that's actually nice.[09:44] AA: Not some weird thing that's not recognizable as anything.[09:45] TC: Oh, yes! Definitely! Aesthetics is something very important, and it's practically all that song is all about, isn't it?[09:46] AA: Well, aesthetics can be looked at in various ways. A song does not necessarily have 'aesthetics', so to speak, but it does have something akin to it.[09:48] TC: I mean, I was just putting it in more casual terms, yeah, but you can't just pick up a instrument and do random things with it. It'll never sound good unless you have coordination.[09:50] AA: True, true.[09:50] AA: It never sounds good that way.[10:00] TC: Yep![10:00] TC: And it's the same with games too, you need to try![10:02] AA: What do I have to try?[10:02] TC: No, I meant making a attempt![10:02] TC: If you just hop into something and don't genuinely try, you'll never be good![10:02] AA: Yes, true. That's why I play League of Legends every day. I want to be good at it. Not that I am not already, but you get what I mean.[10:03] TC: Remind me to play league with you sometime  [10:03] AA: Hah. What region?[10:04] TC: US, even though I'm not living there anymore  [10:04] AA: You mean North America? If so, that's a bummer. I reside in Europe West. [10:05] TC: It's possible to change it, though, isn't it?[10:05] TC: Oh wait.[10:05] TC: Don't worry![10:05] TC: We'll find a way.[10:05] AA: It is, but you will need to make an entirely new account.[10:05] TC: Yep, I just realized that.[10:06] AA: I hope that will not be a problem for you, though.[10:06] TC: No! Making a account is easy![10:06] TC: The internet here isn't perfect, though.[10:06] AA: Yes, but you will have to re-install all the patches again.[10:07] TC: I am a patient person [10:07] AA: Well, I am glad to hear that.[10:08] TC: We probably will play sburb first before that, though  [10:09] AA: Yes, yes, true. SBURB is a game I am really looking forward to myself.[10:10] TC: Yeah! I think Thauma stated she'll be my server player, though.[10:11] AA: Hm. I do not yet know who will be mine. I will have to find out.[10:11] AA: Or, whose server player I will be.[10:11] TC: That's fine! I'm sure it won't be a problem[10:12] AA: I do think so, yes.[10:13] AA: Either way, I suppose I will see you in our SBURB game. It depends.[10:13] TC: Oh, I'm sure of it![10:13] TC: And I hope everyone else is in too~[10:14] AA: Now then, I will say my goodbyes and play another game of League of Legends. Goodbye, Aria. [10:14] TC: Byee~[10:15] -- alchemistsAssassin [AA] ceased pestering temporalConductor [TC] at 22:35 --You close the window and sigh. You quickly start ANOTHER GAME OF LEAGUE OF LEGENDS, hoping that when the game ends, SBURB finally arrives at your front door. To be fair, you are PRETTY DAMN EXCITED to get your hands on a NEW GAME. It's been AGES. Suddenly, the screen fades away yet again. To another person. Who will it be this time? ==>

What's her name? > Derpy Funnybutt Oh come on. You just stole that from the form! > Anna Johnson There we go. You are ANNA JOHNSON. You enjoy PLAYING VIDEO GAMES, though you do some artsy stuff like SKETCHING and FANFICTION WRITING as well. You have a LET'S PLAY CHANNEL on YouTube, where you go by the name "EpicGamerWins". Though it isn't very popular, as you got about one hundred subscribers. You live in a TYPICAL MIDDLE-CLASS HOME in SOUTHERN USA. You live with your SINGLE MOTHER. You used to be poor, but your mother found a good job. You have a bit of a job yourself, which is DOING YARD WORK FOR OTHERS. You use your hard-earned money to buy more video games. > Play more video games. You would, but you figure you might need to give yourself a break. > Pester someone. You can do that!

[01:59] AA: It is a game where a little man in a green suit has a giant ball which grows further the more objects you stick to it. He rolls it around cities, parks, and so on and so forth.
[01:59] CG: Oh. I think I've seen gameplay of something like that, actually.
[02:00] AA: Then there is a probability that that is the game I am speaking of.
[02:00] CG: More than likely.
[02:03] CG: Oh yeah, I'm waiting for a game that I bought from a shopping website.
[02:05] AA: You mean SBURB? We all bought it, remember?
[02:05] CG: Oh yeah. I forgot. XD
[02:05] CG: But I do indeed plan to start a new Let's Play series on it as we all play together.
[02:06] CG: From what I know, nobody else has done it yet.
[02:06] AA: I am definitely intruiged by how that will go. Seeing as how, indeed, there have been none of it yet, it is bound to be interesting.
[02:07] CG: Even more so since this is apparently augmented reality from what little I did hear about it.
[02:07] AA: Augmented reality, hm? That so...? Again, interesting.
[02:26] CG: Sorry, I was busy for a bit. Anyways, I'm excited to see how it turns out!
[02:27] AA: Yes, I do agree. I am also excited as to how SBURB will play out.
[02:29] CG: I imagine there will be some kind of screen that makes you see the images. That's how it usually is with AR games.
[02:30] AA: Possibly so. All we can do is wait. Time will tell.
[02:30] CG: Yeah.
[02:31] CG: I'm still waiting for my package.
[02:31] CG: So I guess I'll go edit my video.
[02:32] AA: I wish you the best of luck in your video-making efforts.
[02:32] AA: May we speak again once we have both received our copies.
[02:32] CG: Thank you! I'll talk to you later!

You are now someone different.
>Examine bed drawer.
You pull out your bed drawer. Inside contains a PLAYSTATION VITA, a 3DS, an EMERGENCY LAPTOP, and a deck of PLAYING CARDS and TAROT CARDS respectively.
>Look out window.
You look out your window. The RED FLAG on the side of a mailbox is lifted skyward. The game must be here!
>Go downstairs and out to the driveway.
You do exactly that, and look through the mailbox.
Inside is nothing, except a note.
"Look up."
>Look above.
There is a bald eagle holding a wrapped package.
It drops down to give it to you.
It's a REALLY good thing you have some birdseed.
You eject the birdseed from PHAD, which is part of the BIG DIPPER PATTERN of your MODUS. You then proceed to sprinkle it all over. The eagle then lands and picks up the bird food.
>Go upstairs and message a chum about this positive development.
You go and do right that.
[06:56] -- cosmonogicalAccelerator [CA] began pestering temporalConductor [TC] at 18:56 --[06:56] CA: Hello, Aria.[06:56] TC: Oh![06:56] TC: Hi, Evan![06:57] CA: I got the copy of the game![06:57] CA: You know, SBURB Version 1.00 Shale.[06:57] TC: Me too! I mean, only the server copy though.[06:57] TC: The client copy is missing.[06:57] CA: Dang.[06:57] CA: Do you know where you could have misplaced it?[06:57] CA: Or was it not there with the server copy?[06:57] TC: Somewhere in my room. I had to go out for a while, it's entirely possible my aunt could have taken it though.[06:58] CA: I haven't opened my packaged yet, but the fact that it was delivered by determined eagle talons makes me want to open it quickly and take it to a safe place.[07:00] TC: ...You get your stuff delivered my eagle talons? Mine was just in the mail.[07:00] CA: Some of the mailmen in Vermont are weird.[07:00] CA: The eagle was relatively friendly, though.[07:00] CA: I think it likes the birdseed.[07:00] TC: Isn't vermont just weird overall? [07:01] TC: That's nice![07:01] CA: Vermont's pretty normal compared to Florida.[07:02] CA: So I'm gonna see if Clem wants to play.[07:03] CA: Hey, do you know who you're gonna play with?[07:03] TC: Hmm[07:03] TC: Tory said she'd be my server player[07:03] TC: I'm not sure whot o be the server of, though![07:04] CA: Think about it for a while.[07:04] CA: Well, I'm gonna go.[07:04] CA: Until then![07:04] -- cosmonogicalAccelerator [CA] ceased pestering temporalConductor [TC] at 19:04 --
>Tear open package.
You proceed to rip and tear the wrapping with your own bare hands. It's a copy of the SBURB Version 1.00 Shale Client Installation Disc!
You don't see the server copy, though.
This is a troubling development.
>Pester someone about this.
How about that Clem? Clem is a pretty cool friend, so you get back to your trusty desktop and type away.
07:09] -- cosmonogicalAccelerator [CA] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 19:09 --
[07:10] CA: Clem, I just went through a troubling development.
[07:10] AA: What's the problem?
[07:10] CA: My server copy's missing.
[07:10] AA: ...Was it not included within the package?
[07:10] CA: No, not at all.
[07:10] CA: It must have been an...
[07:11] CA: Well, I dunno.
[07:11] AA: Hm. I still have not received my package yet. That being said, I haven't even checked if my package has arrived yet. Let me check.
[07:11] CA: Go ahead.
[07:11] CA: I'll just be...
[07:11] CA: Wallowing in here for now.
[07:12] AA: I have returned and obtained the package. It was laying right on the doorstep. I still haven't opened it, though.
[07:13] CA: If you have the server copy, can I be your client?
[07:13] AA: I'm opening it right now.
[07:14] AA: Ah, yes, there seems to be the client and server disc. I suppose you can be my client.
[07:14] CA: YES.
[07:14] AA: Although that does mean you're soliciting for unexpected stuff happening.
[07:14] AA: Of which I don't even know what.
[07:14] AA: Because I haven't even started up the game yet.
[07:15] CA: Fuck it.
[07:15] CA: Let shit transpire.
[07:15] CA: Sorry, was I a bit vulgar there?
[07:15] AA: no you were not good sir. 8^]
[07:15] AA: I don't mind either way.
[07:15] CA: Good.
[07:15] CA: To both statements.
[07:16] AA: Should I enter the disc into my PC and see what happens?
[07:16] CA: Depends.
[07:16] CA: Do you have a lot of time on your hands?
[07:16] AA: All I do is play League of Legends and read books. Of course I have the time.
[07:16] CA: Then let's do this.
[07:16] CA: Because shit just got real.
[07:16] AA: It's about to get real. I'm about to enter the disc.
[07:16] AA: Here goes.
[07:17] CA: Okay, have to retract my last sentece there-
[07:17] AA: It's in and there's command prompts popping up everywhere.
[07:17] CA: *sentence, god.
[07:17] CA: Yeah, hold on, I'm putting the disk in.
[07:18] AA: It says something about the server installing.
[07:18] CA: Dang.
[07:18] AA: Hey, it says that it detected the client copy. How did it know?
[07:18] AA: We're not even on an established connection at the moment. With eachother.
[07:19] CA: Does it say 'Client copieS"?
[07:19] AA: ...Yes, I think it does.
[07:20] CA: So eight of us are playing this, right?
[07:20] AA: Yes, that's true.
[07:20] CA: So maybe some of them have client copies too.
[07:20] CA: Anyway, I'm inserting the disc.
>Insert Client disc.
You forcefully take out the client disc and tuck it gently into the CD Drive. Then you push in the CD Drive.
Roll out, motherfuckers- Hold up.
What the everloving fuck is this?
[07:21] CA: Okay, now what the fuck is this.
[07:21] CA: No, actually, it's perfectly normal.
[07:22] CA: Except for the thing which says 'Client has established connection with host.'
[07:22] CA: Are you ready?
[07:22] AA: ...Yes.
[07:22] CA: We're doing this.
[07:22] AA: The game opened, I think.
[07:22] AA: I'm seeing... a room. With someone at a computer.
[07:22] AA: Is that you?
[07:22] CA: Yeah.
[07:22] CA: Oh god, trippy loading screen.
[07:22] AA: Wait, let me try this.
[07:22] CA: Sure as hell has nice music.
Clem proceeds to pick up your vase, and put in on your bed.
[07:23] AA: I think I dropped a vase onto your bed.
[07:23] CA: Hey, try to be careful with it.
Clem moves it around some more, before flailing it against a wall, breaking it.
Well, there goes the flowers.
[07:24] AA: Oh. Shit. Sorry.
[07:33] CA: Oh god.
[07:33] CA: Well.
[07:33] CA: Uh.
[07:33] AA: This is pretty damn fun. I mean, I don't get how this is even possible, but this is fun.
[07:33] CA: I should be more concerned about the vase, but I'm more concerned at HOW THE VASE FLOATED.
[07:34] AA: That's precisely what I'm wondering, too. This is something akin to the Sims. I have a cursor and I can drag various shit around.
[07:34] CA: If you can drag objects in my bedroom...
[07:34] CA: Try picking up the envelope and drop it on my bed.
[07:35] AA: Which envelope? ...Oh, I see it.
The envelope floats over to your bed.
[07:35] AA: There we go.
[07:35] CA: Oh my god.
[07:35] CA: This game literally messes with reality itself.
[07:36] AA: Is this even reality anymore? Because this is awesome.
[07:36] CA: You're right.
[07:36] AA: This goes beyond my expectations.
[07:36] CA: This is pretty cool, actually.
[07:36] CA: Say, what do we do now?
[07:36] CA: Do we just flail around objects?
[07:37] CA: Because that's pretty boring.
[07:38] AA: There's this tab or something. I clicked on it.
[07:38] AA: There's some random stuff in it. I don't know what they do.
[07:38] CA: What does it say?
[07:41] AA: It's the Phernalia Registry... There's an Alchemiter, a Cruxtruder, a Totem Lathe, a Punch Designix...
[07:41] CA: Try the Cruxtruder.
[07:42] CA: It sounds pretty cool.
[07:42] AA: Alright, here goes.
[07:42] AA: Uhh, it's pretty damn large.
[07:42] AA: Where do I put it?
[07:43] CA: How about...
[07:43] CA: Just put it back for now?
[07:43] AA: Then what should I do instead?
[07:43] CA: Hmm...
[07:43] CA: Is there anything else?
[07:44] AA: As I said, an Alchemiter, a Totem Lathe and a Punch Designix.
[07:44] CA: Hm.
[07:44] AA: Aaand there's Cruxite.
[07:44] CA: Judging from the Crux, it seems that it's linked somehow with the Cruxtruder.
[07:45] AA: Yes. I do wonder what the Alchemiter and Totem Lathe do, though.
[07:47] CA: Say.
[07:48] CA: I've looked at some screenshots on the internet.
[07:48] CA: Try Revise.
[07:48] CA: You know, the cursor with the wonky figures.
[07:49] AA: Oh, okay.
[07:49] AA: What does it do?
[07:49] CA: I don't know.
[07:49] AA: Alright, I'm clicking it.
[07:50] AA: Hmm... Should I try something out?
[07:50] CA: Yeah.
Suddenly, an entire wall is torn out!
[07:51] AA: Oh.
[07:51] AA: So that's what Revise does.
[07:51] CA: Did that just make more space?
[07:51] AA: It teared out a wall from your room.
[07:52] CA: Oh god.
[07:52] AA: Well, let me try this...
Then, a floor reaching out to the space near the torn-out wall is created.
[07:53] AA: Tah-dah, more room.
[07:53] CA: Okay, that's nice.
[07:53] AA: I'm going to deploy the Cruxtruder now.
Clem proceeds to put something that you assume is the Cruxtruder on the newly-created space.
[07:54] AA: There we go. Cruxtruder deployed.
[07:55] CA: So uh...
[07:56] CA: What now?
And he deploys all the other stuff.
[07:56] AA: I deployed all the other stuff.
[07:57] AA: I think you need the pre-punched card that comes with the Punch Designix.
[07:57] CA: Great.
[07:57] CA: But I...
[07:57] CA: Can't seem to open the lid of the Cruxtruder.
[07:57] AA: Find something heavy. I'll take care of it.
[07:57] CA: Well.
[07:58] CA: I have a shotgun.
[07:58] CA: Let me just pull it out of my strife specibus.
You eject your trusty shotgun from your Strife Specibus. The shotgun floats, and then bangs against the lid, popping it off.
[07:58] AA: It should be popped off now.
[07:59] CA: Yeah, it did.
[07:59] AA: Did anything pop out?
[07:59] CA: A thing did.
[07:59] CA: A thing of many potential seizure warnings.
[08:00] AA: Oh, I see it.
[08:00] AA: What the hell is that thing.
[08:00] AA: Wait, if I hover over it...
[08:00] CA: I don't know
[08:00] AA: Hm, it's a Kernelsprite.
[08:01] AA: Maybe you should throw something into it. I dunno.
[08:01] CA: Okay...
[08:01] CA: What should I throw in, though?
[08:02] AA: Anything you can find. Preferrably something that's not living.
[08:02] CA: Wait, oh shit, is that eagle coming towards me?
[08:02] CA: Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god.
[08:02] AA: What eagle?
[08:02] AA: Uh. It just flew into the Kernelsprite.
[08:02] CA: Aw shit.
[08:03] CA: It probably wants to kill me for the awful bird food.
[08:03] AA: Did you feed it bird food?
[08:03] AA: Do you even 'know' this eagle?
[08:03] CA: It was a mailman's.
[08:03] CA: And yes, I thought it would like it!
[08:03] AA: Well, now it isn't anymore. Seems like the eagle got infused with the Kernelsprite.
[08:04] AA: Now it's a seizure-inducing eagle head.
[08:04] CA: :I
[08:04] AA: I think there's something else that's supposed to come out of the Cruxtruder.
[08:05] CA: There's a wheel, too.
[08:05] CA: And what's that countdown?
[08:06] AA: Try and turn it.
[08:06] AA: Oh, that countdown? I haven't a clue.
[08:07] CA: Okay, so some weird cylinder came out.
The cylinder looks.
Very.
Affixing.
...
Clem can't tell anyone about this.
[08:07] CA: It... tastes like...
[08:07] CA: blueberry ice cream.
[08:07] AA: WHY ARE YOU LICKING THE CYLINDER
[08:07] AA: That's not what you're supposed to do!
[08:07] CA: I don't know!
[08:07] CA: The cylinder is just that affixing.
[08:07] CA: Maybe one more lick...
[08:07] CA: Oh god, so good.
[08:08] CA: It's like Blue Bunny ice cream, but even better.
[08:08] AA: Don't.
[08:08] AA: You might need it for something.
[08:08] CA: Aw.
[08:08] CA: Okay.
[08:08] CA: I'll just stash some in my modus.
[08:09] AA: I think you need to put it in the Totem Lathe.
[08:10] CA: Okay then.
[08:10] CA: There, I did it. Now what?
[08:10] AA: Wait, shit, I think you need a punched card from the Punch Designix first. Go do that.
[08:11] CA: Okay.
[08:11] CA: Is this a piano of some sorts?
[08:11] AA: I don't know. You need to use a captchalogue card and insert it into a slot so it can get punched.
[08:11] CA: Hm.
[08:12] CA: I have spares in the study.
[08:12] CA: Be right back.
[08:12] CA: Also, the cylinder is REALLY good.
[08:12] CA: 10/10, best ice cream.
[08:12] AA: Don't lick it.
[08:12] AA: Honestly.
[08:12] CA: I'll try not to be a degrading member of society.
[08:13] AA: Not that you aren't already.
[08:13] CA: Hey!
[08:13] AA: You're the one that's licking at a cylinder that came out of this weird device whereofwhich we don't even know what it came from.
You race downstairs to the study. There, in the blue drawer, is a bunch of captchalogue cards bound together by a rubber band.
You swiftly remove the band and pick up a captchalogue card, and it went to your modus.
You pick off the card in the PHAD spot.
[08:13] CA: Okay, I'm back.
[08:14] AA: Good. You got the card?
[08:14] CA: A blank one, yeah.
[08:14] CA: Wait-
[08:14] CA: Is that-
[08:14] CA: IS THAT A FUCKING METEOR
[08:14] CA: GOD
[08:15] CA: AND ITS HEADING TOWARDS ME
[08:15] CA: FUCK FUCK FUCK
[08:15] CA: THE ICE CREAM GODS CAN ONLY SAVE US NOW
[08:15] AA: What.
[08:15] AA: Get your head out of the gutter.
[08:15] AA: Put the card in the Punch Designix.
[08:15] AA: Quickly.
[08:15] CA: Okay, I did it!
[08:15] AA: Now punch it.
[08:15] AA: The card, I mean.
[08:15] CA: Did it, now what?
[08:16] AA: Now slide it into the Totem Lathe and carve the Cruxite.
[08:17] CA: Done!
[08:18] AA: Now you should have a Cruxite Totem.
[08:18] CA: Yeah.
[08:18] AA: Get your ass over to the Alchemiter and put it on the pedestal.
[08:19] CA: Great.
[08:19] CA: And?
[08:19] AA: Now it should give you an Artifact.
[08:19] CA: It's...
[08:19] CA: A bundle of strings.
[08:19] CA: Oh hey, they connect to each other.
[08:20] AA: I don't care what it is, but it will save you from the huge flaming rock coming your way.
[08:20] CA: Okay, doing it.
[08:20] CA: I'll talk to you later, Clem.
[08:20] CA: But the cylinder is delicious.
[08:20] CA: VERY.

As you said, your uncle had just called you. He was ready. And you are too.
>Trial: START
You walk out of your bedroom, into the connecting dojo. Your uncle is sitting in the middle of the room, legs crossed, eyes closed. He tells you that he will present you with riddles, that you must solve. You nod, sitting in front of him. He asks what has hands and a face, but no head.
>Clock
He asks you what has eighty eight keys, but can open no doors.
>Piano
He asks what is broken without being held.
>Promise
He asks what has a neck yet no head.
>...
You don't know. Your uncle says you may ask one friend, this one time. You nod, and head back to your room.

You run back to your uncle.
>Bottle
He asks you one last question. What nine letter word can create a word every time you take a letter out of it. You think about it for a second, but not for long. After all, the answer isn't very STARTLING-STARTING-STARING-STRING-STING-SING-SIN-IN-I
>Startling
Your uncle smiles, handing you your client copy, then disappears. You breathe a sigh of relief. That wasn't so bad.

You are now back to Anna.
> Upload video.
Already did. The views won't be instantaneous, but there will be people watching it, right?
To be honest, you weren't sure if you'd ever make it on YouTube, or life in general. Being high-functioning autistic, there are a lot of discrimination against those with autism, and you have been picked on for being different before. At least on the Internet, nobody cares if you have autism except for haters.
> Examine teddy bear on bed.
That's Cuddles! He's been your friend since you were very young, and you still sleep in bed with him.
> Captchalogue Cuddles
You captchalogued Cuddles. He ends up in the second Question Mark Box.
> See if copy is here yet.
You go to the door leading out from the living room and sure enough, there's both copies of SBURB. You head back to where your bedroom is when suddenly your mom blocks your way! She wants you to put away the dishes in the dishwasher!
> STRIFE!
No way!
> ...Don't strife?
Being the obedient daughter you are, you quickly place the SBURB copies in your room and head into the kitchen to put away the dishes.
As you are once again busy, now's might be the good time to be someone else.

>Be someone else
You are now a young girl in her bedroom. his girl is very bored, so she will let you guess her name. You will win a virtual cookie if you do it right. >INARTICULATE FEMALEYeah, okay, let's stop there. Your name is ARIA ALISSON. It has been 16 YEARS since your birth, and you have long received a name, engraved in your HONORARY PLACONYM. You have a few INTERESTS, the biggest one is MUSIC. All kinds of music. Violin, piano, anything that allows a rhythmic sound to be produced is your DEAL. You spend many hours a day PRACTICING YOUR SINGING AND VIOLIN, and you've always wanted to be a FAMOUS COMPOSER AND SINGER. You consider yourself to be a active SONG CRITIC, since you can tell what's wrong with a song pretty much immediately. You kinda steer clear from a few genres, though. You are also interested in CARTOONS from all kinds of places, not just western ones either. You think the synchronization of animation and fluidity is like a form of MUSIC in and out of itself, so you watch a lot of them. Your favorite ones include COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG, and among eastern animation, PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA (mostly because of it's music, which is similar to what you play a lot of the time), amongst others. Unfortunately, you don't have much TIME to watch cartoons, as your rich AUNT likes your interest in music and keeps you practicing a lot. You have quite some experience in playing most instruments, but more specifically the VIOLIN, PIANO and CELLO. You have also messed with TECHNO and other digital music in your computer. Every now and then you play some GAMES, mostly rhythm ones, but this time you have been anticipating a cool one named SBURB, which you are hoping to play with friends. As previously stated, you live with your rich AUNT. Unfortunately, you don't tend to stay in one place for long due to your AUNT changing jobs and having to run businesses in other places frequently. Currently, you are LIVING IN JAPAN, but moving to GERMANY next year. It's pretty CHILLY AND EMPTY all the time outside, so you just stay inside of your room, which has a nice and big window to APPRECIATE THE SCENERY. Your ROOM tends to be messy and filled with INSTRUMENTS all the time, but you're careful not to put important stuff on the floor so you don't break anything. Your house is TWO-STORIES along with a attic and basement, which is nice. A long time ago, you were DEAF. Thanks to your AUNT's money and partnership with scientific organizations, a experimental method to restore hearing worked on you and you were cured, although your hearing isn't as perfect as most people's. Since then, you've loved all things SOUND related, and have always told others to be PATIENT, because time will allow their WOUNDS TO BE HEALED. You tend to talk about TIME and MUSIC a lot. Although you don't have a lot of FRIENDS, you love the few you have very dearly. You don't go out a lot, unfortunately, and most people are afraid to talk to a 'rich girl' like you, which SADDENS YOU QUITE A LOT. You tend to be PONTUAL and ON TIME, but you don't focus on it a lot. Just take your time, man, know what I'm sayin'? Currently, you are QUITE BORED. Maybe you'll play something. What will you do? >Perform a haunting refrain with your CELLOYou tidy your hair a little bit and begin to play your CELLO, playing a song from your favorite EASTERN ANIMATION. It is called Serena Ira>Be pesteredMidway through the song, you are pestered by people!

It's time to look for the COPY! You spend a few minutes messing around in your room, until you find that legendary brown package, the holy grail of gaming! But it's only one, and there's supposed to be two. Goddamn it, you shouldn't have left your room. Your AUNT tends to search in there every now and then, and takes things she deems 'inappropiate' This rarely happens, though. You captchalogue it and it is encased in a time capsule with a timer of a hour or so, and buried in modusspace. >Be messaged yet again.That pesterlog is above. You are also pestered by Evan. >Go out to check if your AUNT has the gameYou leave your cozy room and head along the hallway of the third floor. This place is big, fuck.

Meanwhile, a bit in the past... A young man stands in his bedroom.>Enter name.JOHN CENA Kap~ *LOUD DISSONANT GUITAR CHORD*<LET'S JUST GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. THIS SECTION IS SUPPOSED TO CONTAIN RELEVANT
####ING INFORMATION. MEMES ARE NOT RELEVANT. NOW, I KNOW I AM ABOUT TO PLAY SOME GODDAMN RPG, BE SOME LIGHT MAGE OR SOME KIND OF CRAP- WELL
THEN HOW IT IS RELATED TO MY ENTIRE LIFE
IT'S JUST A GAME RIGHT
SOMETHING THAT CAN NEVER BREACH THE SCREEN BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY JUST A SEQUENCE OF ONES AND ZEROES
ALSO THE VERY FACT THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME BEFORE THIS DAY IS JUST EXCELLENT
IT OUTRIGHT SPELLS FAKE
SO IF YOU ARE SO INCOMPETENT IN EVEN TYPING THE NAME WITHOUT YOUR STUPID MEMES
WELL I'LL DO IT FOR YOU
IT'S IGOR MAKAROV
AND, ONCE AGAIN, NOT SOME STUPID TWITCH MEME>
Igor Makarov.
<Finally.>As already mentioned, your name is IGOR MAKAROV. Aside from a few strange personality traits, you are pretty much a TYPICAL RUSSIAN TEENAGER. You live in a FLAT in the one of the parts of the city of MOSCOV, along with your DAD, who is busy at work most of the time and doesn't really dedicate much time to you. As such, you often feel DETACHED from the rest of the world, trying to understand the actual MEANING of it and your life. That is, when you are not immersed in one of your HOBBIES, the biggest of which is MUSIC. You are a big fan of the HEAVIER STYLES of both regular and electronic music, mostly METAL. You play the ELECTRIC GUITAR and sometimes try to make your OWN songs/tracks on your COMPUTER, though most of the time, you simply lose inspiration in the middle of the creative process, abandon them and start new ones. God knows how many UNBELIEVABLY $###TY UNFINISHED TRACKS have accumulated on your computer by this moment. Another one of your hobbies, which you are not as immersed in yet a lot more consistent with is PROGRAMMING. You are pretty good at it and understand most of the concepts(that's also why your FETCH MODUS is a convenient ARRAY with random access), you have even made a few simple COMPUTER GAMES and a whole bunch of MODS for the games that are not yours. Which brings us to the third hobby - GAMING. You have a fairly large GAME LIBRARY mostly consisting of PUZZLE, ADVENTURE and STRATEGY games with a few SHOOTERS and RPGs thrown in. If you find a good game, you can spend hours upon hours immersed into it before the OVERCOMPLICATING, RATIONALIZING and ALL-QUESTIONING part of your personality takes over and claims it all pointless, just like with everything else in the world for you. You often fall into OUTBURSTS OF ANGER and FORCED RATIONALIZATION during which, you CAN'T REALLY CONTROL YOURSELF. The only way you can really stop them as of yet is involving yourself in your HOBBIES, mentioned above. Maybe it's due to the fact you have never had any REAL LIFE FRIENDS giving you GROUND... <Your chumhandle is flamingMetalworks, and your messages are extra edgy. Be careful not to cut yourself on that.>
>Igor: Examine room. It's pretty much a typical room for a teenager: the walls are covered in various POSTERS, most of which are of Igor's favourite METAL BANDS and VIDEO GAMES. There is a GAMING PC with a MICROPHONE and a GUITAR AMP connected to it and a DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSHOP software installed on it to MAKE YOUR OWN MUSIC. In another corner, there is Igor's trusty ELECTRIC GUITAR. >[s]Igor: Play haunting guitar solo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1kgrhWx1n4===> After you finish playing the guitar, you look to the screen of your computer to see that one of your CHUMS is PESTERING you!

It might take a while, but it's just a game![07:44] TC: You won't die if it takes some time to arrive![07:44] FM: <I know>[07:44] FM: <But it's still pretty annoying>[07:45] TC: There are a lot of annoying things in life, Igor. It's kind of just how the world works.[07:45] TC: I think everyone has something that annoys them.[07:45] FM: <Yeah, honestly...>[07:45] TC: But learning to deal with that is something everyone has to do!

Oh, I just finished all I had today! It was very nice.

Music and things like that are only possible if you truly are into it.[07:49] FM: <Singing just doesn't seem as satisfying to me>[07:49] TC: Oh, I'm sure you're very, very good at that! I don't play much guitar, but it is a thing I do sometimes.[07:49] TC: Different things for different people, I guess![07:49] FM: <Yeah>[07:49] TC: I play cello a lot more than the other instruments.[07:49] FM: <Nice>[07:49] FM: <And cello is like... the most fragile and emotional instrument ever>[07:50] TC: Fragile? I don't think so! It is quite emotional, I think.[07:51] TC: But it just sounds a little more beautiful than the rest.[07:51] FM: <Okay>[07:51] TC: Every instrument has kind of it's own personality to it.[07:52] FM: <If so... it kinda makes sense that mine is an electric guitar>[07:52] TC: Yeah! The instrument you play fits you altogether! The kind of music you listen to... anything, really, resonates with your soul and tells us what kind of person you are![07:53] FM: <I mean... its personality seems to be just as fiery as mine>[07:53] TC: Yeah!

I think you should play more of it![07:54] TC: Maybe your anger issues would fade a little bit... maybe, when you're really, really angry, go play some![07:54] TC: Drip all of that anger into the guitar itself and make it a part of you![07:54] FM: <That's what I often do>[07:54] FM: <That's what metal music is all about>[07:55] TC: Yeah!

>Go through the door already, Aria.
You enter the room... aha, it is exactly what you suspected! Your aunt has the client copy of the game! However, she only confiscated it for your daily practive. She knows how you can get when it comes to games. You get in your formal outfit nice and quick, a bit disappointed, but you're up to it. You don't really need to DYE your hair, and sometimes you don't, but you think it's cool. You'll probably stay in this outfit the rest of the day. It is quite comfortable. >PerformYour AUNT asks you to perform some classical music. Every single day, old woman! Come on, come up with something new! And it's on the piano, even! Holy shit, this is difficult. Oh my god. duh du du du du du du du duh du du du du du du du Duh du du du du du du du BWWEEEOOOOWWW BWWEEEOOOOWWW duh du du du du du du du duh du du du du du du du Duh du du du du du du du BWWEEEOOOOWWW BWWEEEOOOOWWW Hmmm hmmmm hm hmmm hm hmmmm hmmm hmmmmmm hmm hmm hmmmmmm hmm hmmm hmmm hmmmmmm hmmm hmmmmm hm hmmm hmmmm Duh duh duh duh PEOW PEOW PEOW duh duh duh BWEEEEOWWWW BWWEEEOOOWW duh du du du du du du du duh du du du du du du du Duh du du du du du du du BWWEEEOOOOWWW BWWEEEOOOOWWW duh du du du du du du du duh du du du du du du du TSS dooodooooTSShoohooTSS duh du du du du du du du duh du du du du du du du Duh du du du du du du du BWWEEEOOOOWWW BWWEEEOOOOWWW duh du du du du du du du duh du du du du du du du Duh du du du du du du du BWWEEEOOOOWWW BWWEEEOOOOWWW
DUh duh duh duh It's over. How can you even play classical music on a piano that well, anyways? That was kind of impossible. Your AUNT applauds. Great as always, though this one was a bit rusty. Goddamnit, old woman. "Rusty". Yeah, screw you. Why do you want me to play something that complicated on a PIANO??? It doesn't even HAVE the notes necessary to play it. It sounds NOTHING like the original song. She hands you the CLIENT COPY. You captchalogue it with a timer of 2 hours. Nice. >Head back to your computerYou head back to your computer and you are pestered by a nice and cool astronomer guy.

Like what? [10:52] CA: I don't think you'll take me seriously,[10:52] TC: I also have my client copy now, but it has a timer larger than the server.[10:52] TC: Oh, don't worry![10:52] TC: I can trust you![10:52] CA: so take this with a hypothetical grain of salt.[10:52] CA: So uh.[10:52] CA: Remember the eagle?[10:52] TC: Yes?[10:53] CA: So, with the kernelsprite...[10:53] CA: Yeah, this will require a lot of context if you haven't entered yet.[10:53] TC: Don't worry about it![10:54] CA: So there are these four machines built-in the game.[10:54] CA: We're going to focus on the Cruxtruder.[10:54] TC: Okay![10:54] CA: So the thing had a heavy lid.[10:54] CA: And Clem helped me open it.[10:54] CA: And there was this lavender thing that was flashing.[10:55] TC: Oh? Yeah?[10:55] CA: And then that's when the eagle flew straight at me.[10:55] CA: It probably didn't like the bird food.[10:55] CA: And it made contact with the thing...[10:56] CA: And now it's just a eagle head thing.[10:56] TC: ...Hmm, what happened next?[10:56] TC: ...oh...[10:56] TC: Well... maybe throwing another thing at it will work? [10:56] CA: Wait no, scratch that, it's an eagle spirit.[10:56] CA: But yeah, I'll try that.[10:56] CA: And...[10:56] CA: Aria, I need to do me a favor.[10:56] CA: It's a pretty big favor.[10:57] CA: A really, really big favor.[10:57] TC: Hmm?[10:57] TC: I'll do anything reasonably![10:57] CA: Okay, good, just...[10:57] CA: Don't tell anybody what I'm about to say, alright?[10:58] TC: Okay![10:58] CA: Just a secret.[10:58] CA: So...[10:58] TC: I won't tell anyone.[10:58] CA: The Cruxtruder had this knob.[10:58] CA: And when I turned it, a blue cylinder came out.[10:58] CA: And...[10:59] TC: Kinda being dramatic here![10:59] CA: ...Well, let's just say it tasted like blueberry ice cream.[10:59] TC: You licked it?[10:59] CA: MAYVBEYESS?[10:59] TC: Did you eat it too?

I'm sorry.[11:00] TC: Well, maybe when I get into the game I'll get a taste in too...[11:00] TC: I like ice cream![11:00] CA: Okay.[11:00] CA: Good.[11:00] CA: Now, on the lighter topic...[11:00] TC: And I think it's normal to lick things that look tasty... it did look tasty, right?[11:01] CA: It was a lavender cylinder.[11:01] TC: Well, whatever![11:01] TC: Move on into the lighter topic.[11:01] CA: So Clem did this weird process where I made a bunch of strings.[11:02] CA: And going back, after I opened the Cruxtruder, a meteor just started heading towards me.[11:02] TC: Reall-[11:02] TC: ...meteor?[11:02] TC: It wasn't real, right?[11:03] CA: Judging by the realistic textures of the meteor and hypothesization that meteor was made out of primarily nickel, I think it was pretty safe to say it was real.[11:03] TC: I can't really understand the news very well, but it says that something very big happened in Vermont.

You are now CLEM HARDFORD again. After HAVING HELPED EVAN with his struggles and HELPING HIM ESCAPE A GIANT METEOR, he and his house landed on SOME KIND OF STRANGE BEACH WITH RED SKIES AND PULSES. This certainly is SOMETHING NEW. > Get pestered.
This is too much for you. How is this even possi-- Oh, you're getting PESTERED by someone. It's IGOR!
[11:16] -- flamingMetalworks [FM] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 11:16 --
[11:16] FM: <Hi Clem>
[11:16] AA: Hello, Igor.
[11:17] FM: <So, It seems that I was fucking right about this game being more than it seems>
[11:17] AA: Ah, yes. That is what I have been thinking too.
[11:17] FM: <I mean, have you even HEARD the recent news?>
[11:17] AA: The meteor strike, I presume?
[11:17] FM: <Exactly>
[11:17] AA: I was there. Well, not physically, but.
[11:17] AA: I helped Clem with being a server player.
[11:17] AA: He was my client.
[11:18] FM: <Okay...>
[11:18] AA: We had to go through various tasks and processes in order to obtain something named the 'Artifact', in his case being a bunch of strings, which he had to tie together to escape the meteor. Now his house is on some kind of beach with a red sky with pulses in it.
[11:19] FM: <...Now THAT is really interesting>
[11:19] AA: Well, no shit.
[11:19] FM: <because I have a feeling his house>
[11:19] FM: <is WAY outside earth or even this universe>
[11:20] FM: <which raises another question>
[11:20] AA: I am inclined to agree with that.
[11:20] FM: <how the HECK can we even speak with him if he's way outside the Internet's domain>
[11:20] AA: Pesterchum is a wonderful messaging service?
[11:20] AA: I don't know, to be honest.
[11:20] FM: <Yeah>
[11:21] FM: <I wonder if it also works through our lucid dreams>
[11:21] AA: Lucid dreams, hm. A totally different subject, but still quite relevant.
[11:21] FM: <Because I mean>
[11:21] FM: <IF THIS THING CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH DIMENSIONS>
[11:22] AA: I'd reckon he's not necessarily in one different dimension altogether.
[11:22] FM: <Where do you think he is, then?>
[11:22] AA: On a different planet.
[11:23] FM: <That's entirely possible>
[11:24] FM: <that his planet exists in our universe, just thousands of light years away>
[11:24] FM: <However>
[11:24] FM: <That raises yet ANOTHER question>
[11:24] AA: Do tell.
[11:24] FM: <How can pesterchum communicate faster than light if no known physical interaction is faster than that?>
[11:25] AA: You say 'physical' interaction. But is the act of a message being sent truly physical?
[11:25] AA: Pesterchum differs from a lot of other messaging services.
[11:25] FM: <What do you mean by that?>
[11:26] AA: Well, it works in a different way than most other services. The messages sent are fast, and in general, this service is great. But I think Pesterchum does have a hand in this all. With SBURB, I mean.
[11:26] AA: I think it was just some precursor for us to get the game and play it.
[11:26] AA: And this service will remain our means of conveying messages to eachother for the entire ride.
[11:26] FM: <If so, that's great>
[11:27] FM: <I wonder if the timeslider in the Memo section proves itself more useful as time goes on...>
[11:27] AA: I am no psychic, but I assume that it is so.
[11:27] FM: <Anyways, on the topic of the game.>
[11:28] FM: <It seems that we really need to act fast once we get that disk in>
[11:28] AA: The time differs per person. The time that is displayed on the Cruxtruder, I mean.
[11:28] FM: <Interesting...>
[11:29] AA: As for Evan, it was around the ten minute mark.
[11:29] AA: And it was only a good thing, because he licked the Cruxite dowel that exited the Cruxtruder.
[11:30] FM: <In that case... Is there anyone else who has just installed the client disk, and if so, what is the time limit before the presumed meteor strike for him is?>
[11:30] AA: I haven't a clue. The only player I am able to see is Evan.
[11:31] FM: <Well, then... we need to make sure there is at least one server player ready at all times>
[11:32] AA: I think there's supposed to be four server players and four clients.
[11:32] AA: But, the roles switch around. Server players will have to become clients sooner or later.
[11:32] FM: <That's what I was about to say.>
[11:33] FM: <I mean, shouldn't a player be able to become both a client and a server, considering both copies come with the package?>
[11:33] AA: Yes, that is the case.
[11:34] AA: Although, I have heard that someone did not receive his or her's server copy.
[11:34] AA: So one person will have to be a server player twice.
[11:34] FM: <...Crap.>
[11:35] FM: <I mean, is that even possible?>
[11:35] AA: I think it will be.
[11:36] FM: <For what I've heard from you and the other guys, one server disk can only be used once>
[11:36] FM: <And it looks like I'm not getting my copies anytime soon...>
[11:36] FM: <BECAUSE HERE IS THE THING WITH RUSSIAN WEATHER>
[11:36] AA: Well, that is going to be quite the predicament.
[11:37] FM: <IT ALWAYS GOES AGAINST THE FORECAST>
[11:38] FM: <IT'S FUCKING APRIL, SHOULDN'T SNOW BE FUCKING MELTING AT THAT POINT INSTEAD OF FALLING >
[11:38] AA: It's Russia. What did you expect?
[11:38] FM: <AND FORMING PROBABLY THE BIGGEST BLIZZARD I HAVE EVER SEEN>
[11:39] FM: <AND GUESS WHAT THAT MEANS?>
[11:39] AA: No mail.
[11:39] FM: <FUCKING EXACTLY>
[11:39] AA: Welp. That is indeed going to be quite a problem.
[11:39] AA: I'll see what I can do. If anything. Remember, friends are there for eachother.
[11:39] AA: Don't worry, Igor.
[11:40] AA: If there is a will, there's a way.
[11:41] FM: <Okay... we will get to that sooner or later>
[11:41] AA: Yes. Either way, if you have nothing more to talk about... I have a client player to attend to.
[11:41] AA: We will speak again sooner or later. Alright?
[11:41] FM: <Okay. DO it fast.>
[11:41] AA: Alright. See you.
[11:41] FM: <We don't want fucking casualties.>
[11:41] AA: Yes, I understand.

You get to your computer and request guidance.
[08:19] -- cosmonogicalAccelerator [CA] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 08:19 --
[08:19] CA: Okay, Clem.
[08:19] CA: I'm in this beach.
[08:19] AA: You're 'in' a beach? I think you mean 'on' the beach.
[08:19] AA: Sorry, old habit.
[08:19] CA: No offense taken.
[08:20] CA: So I'm on this beach.
[08:20] CA: And...
[08:20] CA: Well, I have no idea what to do now.
[08:20] AA: Look up.
[08:20] AA: Like, all the way up.
[08:21] CA: There are like these rings.
[08:21] CA: And...
[08:21] CA: Pulses.
[08:21] CA: Actually, just a single pulse.
[08:21] AA: Is there a certain ring you see.
[08:21] AA: A green one.
[08:21] CA: Yeah.
[08:21] AA: You need to build up to there, I believe.
[08:22] CA: Okay then.
[08:22] AA: But I do require Grist. And so do you.
[08:22] CA: Anything else?
[08:23] CA: Hey, uh, Clem?
[08:23] AA: Yeah, hang on a sec.
[08:24] AA: I think you'll have to alchemize some stuff, first.
[08:25] CA: Sweet.
[08:25] AA: An, I do believe the ring leads to Skaia.
[08:25] CA: Skaia?
[08:25] AA: It's the center of the Medium.
[08:25] CA: The Medium?
[08:25] AA: The Medium is where you are right now. One of the planets.
[08:25] AA: The ring leads to the center, where Skaia belies.
[08:26] CA: So I'm on Planet fucking Jupiter?
[08:26] AA: As far as I know, Skaia is one of the most important things that is here.
[08:26] AA: ...No.
[08:26] CA: Hmmm.
[08:27] CA: So anything else I should be caught up on?
[08:27] AA: It is advised you find a useable weapon and alchemize it. You shoud have some Grist on you.
[08:28] CA: I have a shotgun.
[08:28] AA: Alchemize it with something.
[08:28] CA: Well...
[08:28] CA: I have this game.
[08:29] CA: It's called Hellsinker.
[08:29] AA: What is it about?
[08:29] CA: So there are these four characters.
[08:29] CA: And you go pew pew pew at them in a typical vertical scrolling shooter fashion.
[08:29] CA: Except it's more complicated.
[08:30] AA: Well.
[08:30] AA: Go ahead and try that.
[08:30] CA: Subweapons, Stella, Multiple Bomb Attacks, Technical Ammo, and an 4-in-1 unlockable character.
[08:30] CA: Okay, I will.
[08:30] CA: I had an idea.
[08:31] AA: If you need more Grist I still have some spare. Although you will need to kill monsters that inhabit your planet.
[08:31] AA: And what is it?
[08:31] CA: I could just instead use a blank captchalogue card and type the code on the back of the occupied captchalogue cards.
[08:31] AA: Try it out and see if it works.
>Get more blank cards, and punch them using codes.
Using the codes for HELLSINKER and your DOUBLE-BARREL STOCK SHOOTY, you create two punched cards with a pattern.
[08:36] CA: Okay, so I have two punched cards...
[08:36] CA: It's a good thing I kept spares of those blueberry cylinders.
[08:37] CA: I'll just punch them, and...
[08:37] CA: Wait no.
[08:37] CA: I'll just use the Cruxite to carve the things.
[08:38] CA: So...
[08:38] CA: If I overlap these cards...
[08:38] CA: Okay no, too much grist.
[08:38] CA: I guess I'll stick with these for now.
[08:39] CA: Clem?
[08:48] CA: Well, I'm just gonna go.
[08:48] -- cosmonogicalAccelerator [CA] ceased pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 08:48 --
While you're waiting for Clem to respond, you need to widen up your inventory space! You quickly switch to SOLAR SYSTEM mode, which ejects everything out of your DECK! This takes a while to pick up. Oh hey, he's back.
[08:53] -- cosmonogicalAccelerator [CA] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 08:53 --
[08:53] AA: I apologize for my absence. I had to deal with my mother.
[08:53] CA: Hmm
[08:54] CA: Anyway, I tried to combine the two things.
[08:54] CA: Thing costs a fortune.
[08:54] AA: What two things did you try to combine?
[08:54] CA: The Hellsinker game and the shotgun.
[08:55] AA: Oh.
[08:55] AA: How much exactly?
[08:55] CA: Let's see.
[08:55] CA: 600 Build Grist for beginners.
[08:56] CA: 200 and 100 of I don't know what.
[08:57] AA: Hm.
[08:57] AA: This is a mystery.
[08:57] CA: I don't think we can hold that much yet.
[08:58] AA: Yes, we cannot hold that much.
[08:58] CA: So uh,
[08:58] CA: Maybe we'll try something more affordable.
[08:59] AA: Go ahead.
[08:59] CA: Alright.
[09:00] CA: How about a sword?
[09:00] AA: A sword could work. Where would you get one from?
[09:01] CA: I could always use my trusty
[09:01] CA: Penny Polendina's Sword Thing.
[09:02] AA: What.
[09:02] CA: It's from an American anime.
[09:02] CA: It's called RWBY.
[09:02] CA: And it's so Anime as fuck that you wouldn't even know where to begin.
[09:02] AA: Oh, that show. I've heard of it.
[09:02] CA: For instance, every weapon is a gun.
[09:03] AA: That's as American as it can get.
[09:03] CA: Either that, or I could just add a high-velocity mod to it.
[09:04] CA: Hold on, I'll get my dad's sniper rifle.
[09:04] AA: Oh. That works.
>Get one of his spare Sniper Rifles.

You have killed several SHALE IMPS.
>Loot sweet drops.You gain 12 Build Grist, 14 Shale, and 7 Tar.
You have gained a rung in your ECHELADDER, rising to the title of SHOOTY FRUTTI. You have been climbing the ECHELADDER since your 13th birthday. Your GEL VISCOSITY and CACHE LIMIT has increased by a huge amount compared to your previous ascensions. You can now carry 45 of each type of GRIST. >Pester Clem.

[02:07] AA: What have you managed to gather?
[02:07] CA: Let's see.
[02:08] CA: Something called Shale.
[02:08] CA: And there's also Tar, to.
[02:08] CA: *Too. Dang it.
[02:08] CA: And I've gained a rung on my Echeladder as well.
[02:09] AA: Oh? What rung would that be?
[02:09] CA: Shooty Frutti.
[02:09] CA: And the stat jumps are quite bigger.
[02:10] AA: Huh. I assume your Gel Viscocity has increased.
[02:10] CA: Yes.
[02:10] AA: Good to know.
[02:12] CA: Wait.
[02:12] CA: I hear a little...
[02:12] CA: Rumbelbje

[02:13] CA: Okay, so there's something coming towards me.
[02:13] AA: Do you know what it is?

[02:13] AA: I would be glad. I just...need to find something to attack it with.
[02:13] CA: Well, you have the alchemiter.

A Ruby Ogre approaches. >[S] STRIFE!The ogre AGGRIEVES. You attempt to ABSTAIN by dodging the attack.
You were hit! Fortunately, you catch your footing. Clem, in form of an omniscient cursor, hurls a fridge while the ogre isn't looking. It hits the back of the ogre, drawing attention of the fridge. While the ogre is busy, you ASSAULT it, shooting it in the head. However, the massive recoil causes you to blast off into the waters. Clem is DOING a really good job of manuevering the fridge.
The ogre is angry now! It ASSAILS, and hits you again, but the fridge counterattacks!
It seems to be weakened. Now's the chance!
>ASSAULT
Steady... steady...
D20 ROLL = 12/20
You shoot your shotgun at the ogre's chest!
And then... FRIDGE SMASH The ogre stumbles.
It then explodes to bazillions of Build Grist, Shale, and Tar. It also leaks Ruby.
The ogre is DEFEATED. ====>Oh, and you rise up a few more rungs, gaining the title of GAUSSIAN BLUR! Your GEL VISCOSITY and CACHE LIMIT skyrocket, with you being able to hold 80 of each type now! >Celebrate. [03:41] -- cosmonogicalAccelerator [CA] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 15:41 --

[03:44] CA: I think I can now carry 80 of these things.
[03:45] AA: 80 of what?
[03:45] CA: Grist.
[03:45] AA: Hm.
[03:45] AA: That's a better amount, at least.
[03:47] CA: Wait no, I meant to say 800.
[03:48] CA: Forgot an extra zero there.
[03:48] AA: I was about to say.
[03:53] CA: So I can alchemize some stuff now.
[03:59] AA: That's great.
[04:00] CA: I'm gonna see if there are any gunboots I can make.
[04:00] AA: Gunboots? Interesting.
[04:01] CA: It goes down well.
[04:01] CA: Or at least, I find it to be.
You go down and find your old rainboots. It still fits somehow.
Oh well, you won't be needing it much.
You captchalogue the rainboots, and go up again.

Rainboots && Double-Barrel Stock Shooty = Gunboots: The Shotgunning
20 Build Grist, 100 Shale, and 200 Tar.
These should perform quite well, if you only had the BOOTKIND SPECIBUS.
Way to go, dumbass!

Back to Anna once more!
> Put away last dish.
You put away the last dish. Well, actually, silverware, as it's a fork, but still.
> Go back to bedroom.
You do so. You decide to hold off on doing anything with your SBURB, at least until you know your server player or client player is ready.
> Examine computer.
This is your dual-screen computer you got for your birthday earlier this year. It serves as both as a gaming computer and for stuff in general. Nearby is your VIVE, for those virtual reality games. But the only one you did, at least for your channel, is Audioshield.
> Examine 3DS
This one you had since the handheld console had launched. It's a little beaten as you had occasionally dropped it, but it still does its job. You have a game capture card for it, but you're not doing any 3DS Let's Plays at the moment. The game currently in it is Pokemon Alpha Sapphire.
> Capcthalogue 3DS
You captchalogue your 3DS into the first Question Mark Box.
> Play a video game.
You decide to hop on Steam to finish up your current True Pacifist run on Undertale.
Once again, a perfect point to move to someone else.
> Be someone else.

>Re-equip HEADSHOT to strife specibus.
You do just that. It's comforting to have your favorite sniper rifle back where it belongs. In your arms. And by that, you mean your strife specibus. You also check your hidden blades. They're not named because you don't like them as much as sniper rifles, but they're still pretty reliable in a pinch. Plus you're really good at using them.
>Grab smoke bombs.
Using the corresponding hand gesture (You've found energy dimension works for smoke bombs), you add a few smoke bombs to your smoke bombs captchalogue card.
>ALL the smoke bombs
You drop the smoke bombs you were carrying onto the smoke bombs onto the floor, creating a large pile of smoke bombs. You store that in a captchalogue card.
>Shurikens too
Intuitive and Awareness work for the shurikens.
>Katanas!
Power and Awareness do for these. That'll do for now. You head back to your computer, pull out your client, which was stored under Absolute and Creation. You put the client into your computer, and load the game.

[/color][/span][/div]
[/spoiler][/span][/div]
That had gone very smoothly. Everything worked out nice, you shot the bulls-eye with HEADSHOT when it appeared, you even prototyped a cat. Then a vase from a shelf above you fell onto your head, knocking you out cold. After a few seconds you open your eyes. Your dreaming.

A young lady stands in her bedroom. It just so happens that today, an exceptionally eventful thing will take place, and not merely because exactly three years and one week ago was the time of her thirteenth birthday.
What will the name of this young lady be?
>Enter name.
No, no! Her HONORARY PLACRONYM is right there, don't you see it? Take a closer look.
>TORY SULLEY
Your name is TORY. You have a fair variety of INTERESTS. You fancy yourself a top-grade amateur in the ESOTERIC ARTS and the PRETERNATURAL, and have a fondness for SHIPS OF THE LITERAL KIND. You like to watch CLASSIC ANIMATION and occasionally play a GAME or two with your friends, being an avid fan of ANY FORM OF CARTOON-BASED MEDIA and whatnot, as well as indulging in some ROLEPLAYING every now and then. You like being a DRAGON AND WHAT ELSE sometimes, okay?
You currently live in a TWO-STORY, ALBEIT FAIRLY LARGE HOUSE with your BIG SIS, who you rarely see but very much respect. She's raised you your whole life, after all. You think that's a PRETTY RAD ACCOMPLISHMENT.
What will you do?
>Check sylladex.
All that you have right now is your SBURB COPIES for both client and server programs stored in your Spectrum Modus' GREEN card. You haven't gotten to doing your inventory check for today, having just woken up and all. It's raining outside at the moment, too, which gives you a fair amount of subsequent laziness, at least until you get the game plan rolling. Speaking of...
>Recall game plans.
Simple. You, uh... you actually forgot just how the order was supposed to be. Were you going to be Aria's server? That sounds alright. She's a pretty nice person, after all. One of the first you got in contact with long ago. Maybe she'll know just what.
>Check your computer.
You retrieve your LAPTOP and start it up. It's not much, since you also have your SMARTPHONE for even more increased mobility. You take both in case anything happens, really. There's no such thing as too many computers!
That browser, though... You assume it was set up by your sister, since you remember having another one before. Or not? She also removed the COMPLETE BULLSHIT aggregator a while ago, which honestly you're glad she did. It lived up to its name quite well.
>Pester Aria.
You contact the girl, with the ensuing pesterlog displayed up there. Well, now that your memory was jogged a little after thumping your head in confirmation of your morony(?), you now set off to fetch your stuff before getting the party started on your end.
>Fetch your stuff.
Nothing eventful. From your room, you get your essential DECORATIVE CUTLASS and STAGE MAGIC BOOK and allocate them to both your Bladekind and Bookkind strife specibi. Can never be too safe in here. You also get your TOYOSATOMIMI NO MIKO FIGURINE, set in the PURPLE sylladex card. Miko is nice. Yes. The PRINCIPIA DISCORDIA goes into the YELLOW card, the CUSTOM CRYSTAL-COLOR SCALEMATE in the... BLUE card? That works. You get the SHIP IN A BOTTLE, which is stuffed into the GREEN card, being neutral-colored. The SBURB COPIES are ejected, though! They went out your room's open door. Damn it.
Oh yes, your TAROT CARDS go in too. ORANGE card for them, since they're mostly-black. Your SMARTPHONE goes into the PINK card--it's a spiffy color when applied appropriately, everyone knows that!
>Explore the house while something else happens.
You decide to take a look around, see what your sis' up to, get those game discs back and everything before getting your game roll on. But, suddenly--!

You wake up in a purple cell. An all too familiar purple cell. The one that you’ve been talking about in your talks with Igor. Looking around, the room is all the same. Same room, same jail bars. The dream girl said that you’d be fully awake. You don’t really feel asleep, so you suppose you’re awake. Speaking of, dream girl has decided to go missing. This is a first. She’s always been here to greet you. >Climb out window.While you would love to do that, it appears the window is actually barred closed. A shame, really, you wanted to explore the place. Instead, you’ll have to sit in here and wait for dream girl. Aside from what you told Igor, she also said that she’d tell you her name today. This excites you, given that you won’t have to keep referring to her as dream girl anymore. >Check jail doorYou walk over to the jail door. There’s a hallway, an empty one, and that’s it. Nothing else. You walk back to the center of your jail cell, where you discover a bagel. You pick it up, and look at it. Looks like an ordinary bagel. >Eat ordinary bagel.You take five minutes of enjoy eating a bagel. It’s not very good, plain in fact, but a bagel is a bagel, and bagels are always good. You hear a knocking behind you. >Slowly turn aroundYou turn yourself as slow as you can. Floating there, is dream girl, all dressed up in her black hoodie thing.

>Be that other Russian guy, a bit before the moment Shay is in
You are now past Igor. Yet again, another one of your conversations was cut short due to some problems on the other side - probably having to do with the some of their family members. Conflicts like this are something that has never really happened to you, as you, your DAD, who is currently at work, and your MOM, who has passed out under strange circumstances three years ago, have always lived in sort a HARMONY and had MUTUAL RESPECT for each other... You've never really thought about a family being something other than that, so some of the family problems of your internet friends seem REALLY strange for you... It is snowing outside. Extensive snowfalls in April aren't all that special for Russia, in fact, you've seen snow even in June here on one occasion... As you watch the snowflakes fall and listen to the wind howling, you begin to think about your life up to that point... It is the 13th of April, 2016. It is a bit past your 16th BIRTHDAY, which you, strangely enough, can't seem to even remember the DATE of, let alone its celebration - if there even was any... Just like any previous celebrations.
As with all 16 years preceding this one, you feel like something is seriously MISSING from your life. In fact, you seem to have figured out that "something" a long time ago: it is the very sense of purpose and meaning in your life. It is the very reason you tried to fill the void first by playing guitar and trying to make your own music, then by programming, and finally trying to escape it by immersing yourself into games... However, that only worked for so long, and after a while, the ghostly feeling would return to you, almost trapping your soul and making you more and more irritated... Especially considering that lately, you have discovered some things that want you to question the very existence of yourself... For example, why do you barely remember anything about your past life? Why the ENTIRETY of your childhood seems to be deleted from your memory? Why have you only been given a name about a day or two ago? Where is the rest of your family and society in general?...
When all those thoughts crash down on your head like a massive meteor on a planet, you often just want to believe this is all just a bad dream and scream "WAKE UP!!!"...But no. You are not asleep, and this is a strange reality you just have to deal with. How does it even work? It's a mystery. A riddle, if you wish. A riddle that your mind is often just BEGGING for an answer to...
...The wind seems to be getting stronger, and the snowfall has already turned into a blizzard. You have a feeling this is going to be a long day...>Pester Clem, and then Shay.You go to your computer and proceed to have the conversations you've already seen. Right after you finish pestering Shay, the lights suddenly flicker, and the power in your entire flat goes out. >Check electricity. It's even worse than you think it is. Not just your flat, but your entire BUILDING seems to have lost power... >Pester Steel from your smartphone. You proceed to have the conversation mentioned earlier. During it, the elevator falls down, leaving the cable hanging freely in the shaft. You climb the cable to the elevator service room just below the roof, which is, strangely enough, not locked. You exit to the roof to perform the tricky roof-to-roof jump mentioned in the conversation. The wind seems to be blowing at the direction of the target building, this is your chance. (This is also the point the first pester ends) >Jump. ...Phew. You made it, though you are covered in snow almost completely. Also, the cold... >Enter the building. It seems to be a lot warmer there. Good. Now, the problem is - where am I supposed to go now? All the doors are locked normally... ...Then, you remember. Floor 4, flat 13. >Descend to floor 4. The staircase seems to be locked, so the elevator is the only option. A feeling of dread looms over you as the doors close and you remember what happened to the elevator in the building your flat is in... ...Nothing happened. Good. You are now on the 4th floor. >Go to flat 13. The door to the flat isn't locked. After you enter the flat, you immediately notice a bundle of keys lying on the floor. They seem to be the keys to the flat. Now that's strange. Who does this even belong to, again? The flat itself is pretty barren. Empty shelves, walls and the floor painted plain white - it feels that even if somebody even lived in that flat, he must have left a long time ago... However, the living room DOES have something else of interest. First of all, an electric heater turned on, so you are safe from the cold. Next up, a table with a laptop and something next to it. Now THAT's odd... >Examine laptop. It's pretty old, but not so old that you would consider it useless. However, what attracts you isn't the laptop itself... ...It's the SBURB Server copy lying next to it. >Server Mark. No time to mess around. Make sure flat is closed -> insert the server disk -> be the server. >Be Mark. |

You are now Anna again!
> Take break.
Alright. You leave your computer.
> Explore house.
Um, okay.
This is your bedroom, which is rather neat and ordered. By the window is your bed, near it is the closet and dresser, and in front of you is the computer and desk, of course.
Across the rather short hall is your and the guests' bathroom. It's pretty small, but it works.
There's the guests' bedroom at the end of the hallway. It's empty save for a bed and a small TV.
The living room is the second biggest room in the house. There is are two couches and a coffee table sitting in front of the TV. Behind one of the couches is some mini-desk with a lamp.
The kitchen has your typical kitchen stuff.
The laundry room is typical for such a room as well.
Leading out of the laundry room is the large garage (the biggest room in the house), where the car is parked in and tools are kept at.
Last but not least is your mom's bedroom, which is very nice. It has a large bed and a large dresser, in addition to a TV.
Your mom comes up to you and tells you that the laundry needs to be folded. You take out the laundry, mentally complaining, and head back to your bedroom to fold them.
You feel that you're restricted by your mom. You hate knowing that the things you can actually do are limited based on Mom's decisions. But you can't do anything about it, because you might get grounded if you decide to be defiant.
> Put away laundry.
You put away the laundry.

Okay! You get back on the computer.

You go downstairs to your kitchen. You can smell the delicious casserole.
Your father is here. He hugs you in delight and squeezes you in his arms. You love your dad, but the increased pressure DOES make it hard to breathe. You eat your chicken casserole. It's a family recipe, and your mother always had no problem replicating the same result your Aunt Camilia had. Your father asks you how your day has been. You say it was good. The silence except for sounds of ilverware is all that's heard. You excuse yourself and go to your room. >Sleep.
Already? It's like what, 8 PM? Regardless, you change to your pajamas, and... >Be another person. |
