You are now conscious. You look down at the broken vase which knocked you out, then head back to your room to go pester somebody that you made it into the Medium.
>Pester Clem
[03:44] -- adumbratingGrace [AG] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 15:44 --
[03:44] AG: Hell*, Clem.
[03:45] AA: Good day to you, Shay.
[03:46] AG: I have successfully c*mpleted the f*rst p*rt**n *f the game.
[03:46] AG: And have made *t *nt* the we*rd place.
[03:47] AA: As in, you've entered the Medium.
[03:48] AG: Yes, *f that *s what y*u w*sh t* call *t.
[03:48] AA: I have helped Evan in the process of entering the Medium, too. He seems to have had quite some fun battling the scourges that roamed the lands there.
[03:48] AA: He has also alchemized some various things.
[03:48] AG: I st*ll need t* beg*n that pr*cess.
[03:48] AG: I was *nterrupted by a vase t* the head bef*re I c*uld d* anyth*ng *n the Med*um
[03:48] AA: Hm. That is quite rude of the one individual that has commited that heinous deed.
[03:49] AA: Apart from that, the goal of this portion is apparently to build up to all seven Gates. If you look up, you should be able to see the first.
[03:49] AG: Alr*ght.
[03:49] AG: I*ll *nf*rm T*ry *f th*s.
[03:50] AA: Go ahead and do so.
[03:50] AA: I will be eagerly awaiting the time where I am able to enter the Medium as well.
[03:50] AG: It *s qu*te *nterest*ng.
[03:51] AG: My med*um *s d*fferent than the beach Evan descr*bed.
[03:51] AA: I agree.
[03:51] AA: I have heard of the 'lands' differing per player.
[03:51] AA: So it is no surprise that your land differs from that of Evan.
[03:51] AG: That w*uld make sense.
[03:51] AA: I have heard the visual and landscape of your land has to do something with 'aspect'. I have yet to figure out what this means.
[03:51] AA: I am conducting research as this progresses.
[03:51] AA: But, to no avail.
[03:52] AG: Hm...
[03:52] AG: Have y*u had any pecul*ar dreams recently?
[03:52] AA: Ah, so you've had them too. I awoke in a strange purple attire in some sort of tower.
[03:52] AA: I cannot clearly remember the rest.
[03:53] AG: What c*l*r t*wer?
[03:53] AG: And d*d *t l**k l*ke y*ur r**m, *r s*meth*ng else?
[03:53] AA: The very same color of the attire I adorned.
[03:53] AA: It resembled my room, yes.
[03:53] AG: Hm.
[03:54] AG: My surr*und*ngs were a b*t d*fferent.
[03:54] AG: Instead *f a rr*m that matched my att*re (g*ld), I was *n a purple r**m.
[03:55] AG: And n*t *nly that, but *t was a ja*l cell I was *n.
[03:55] AA: Hm.
[03:55] AA: This would mean that there would be a golden tower as well.
[03:55] AG: I w*uld assume s*.
[03:56] AG: L*ly sa*d s*meth*ng ab*ut Pr*sp*tar*ans and Ders*tes. Maybe *t has s*meth*ng t* d* w*th them?
[03:57] AA: Ah, yes! I just remembered the names 'Prospit' and 'Derse'. They belong to planets of sorts. I read it up on an obscure article I had found on the web.
[03:57] AA: It doesn't explain everything in full detail and the author was someone who went by the initials RL.
[03:58] AG: Huh.
[03:58] AG: Well, I d*ubt any *f th*s w*uld be expla*ned fully.
[03:58] AA: I have yet to read the whole thing. But as far as I am concerned, things are faring well as of now. We will have to wait and see what this will bring us.
[03:59] AG: D*d y*u read anyth*ng *f *mp*rtance that y*u sh*uld tell me?
[03:59] AG: Anyth*ng t* l**k *ut f*r *n the med*um?
[04:00] AA: I will advise that you keep an eye out for Imps and Ogres. Make sure you have proper alchemized weaponry to deal with them. They do give you Grist, so it is advised you climb your echeladder as far as you can to collect more Grist.
[04:00] AA: That is all I can advise you with my current knowledge on the matter.
[04:00] AG: D* y*u kn*w h*w the Gr*st *s used?
[04:01] AA: Grist is used for many purposes, but the main purpose of it is to construct your home establishment as far up as humanely possible in order to reach all the Gates. Apart from that, it is used to alchemize.
[04:01] AA: There are many types of Grist, while there are many unknown to me.
[04:02] AG: Alr*ght.
[04:02] AG: Speak*ng *f alchem*z*ng, Evan t**k the c*de f*r my sn*per r*fle.
[04:02] AA: I hope I have shedded enough light on the matter.
[04:02] AA: Oh, okay.
[04:02] AG: Y*u kn*w what he d*d w*th that?
[04:02] AA: I have heard of that.
[04:03] AA: I think he alchemized it with something. I am uncertain with what.
[04:03] AG: C**l.
[04:03] AG: Have anyth*ng ar*und that y*u*d th*nk w*uld be useful f*r me?
[04:04] AA: What do you need in particular?
[04:04] AA: I might have something laying around.
[04:04] AG: Hm...
[04:05] AG: If alchem*z*ng all*ws y*u t* c*mb*ne s*meth*ng..
[04:05] AG: D* y*u have a headp*ece *r earp*ece *r s*meth*ng *f that s*rt?
[04:05] AG: I c*uld c*mb*ne that w*th my ph*ne s* I can pester pe*ple eas*er.
[04:05] AA: Hm. So something akin to a tiara... or headphones?
[04:06] AG: S*meth*ng l*ke that.
[04:06] AG: Headph*nes sh*uld d* n*cely.
[04:06] AA: I have a spare set of headphones laying in my room.
[04:06] AG: Just captchal*gue *t and g*ve me the c*de.
[04:07] AA: Yes, one second.
[04:07] AA: The code is U87x2eIm
[04:08] AG: Alr*ght, s* *t l**ks l*ke I just punch a card *n th*s mach*ne here.
[04:08] AA: Yes.
[04:08] AG: Ok, d*uble punched w*th the ph*ne*s c*de and the headph*nes.
[04:09] AG: Crux*te, t*tem..
[04:09] AA: They're Bose headphones with special SoundLink features.
[04:09] AA: So they should fit your needs just fine.
[04:09] AG: Hm, I d*n*t have en*ugh gr*st.
[04:09] AG: F*gures, s*nce I haven*t k*lled anyth*ng yet.
[04:09] AA: Hm. I have heard of something called GristTorrent.
[04:10] AA: Although it is not yet available for players who have not yet entered the Medium.
[04:10] AG: G* *n.
[04:10] AA: So I am not able to utilize that feature.
[04:10] AA: It is practically a service that allows sharing of Grist between players.
[04:10] AG: N*ce.
[04:10] AA: 'Leeching' and 'seeding' are two of the primary features that are present in said program.
[04:10] AG: I*ll be able t* get my *wn gr*st th*ugh.
[04:10] AG: I*m a capable g*rl.
[04:10] AA: Leeching being taking Grist from someone, and seeding is the act of giving Grist to someone.
[04:10] AA: And yes, I understand.
[04:11] AA: I was just explaining.
[04:11] AG: It*s f*ne.
[04:11] AG: I*ll talk t* y*u later.
[04:11] AA: I hope to see you back with nice gear.
[04:11] AG: I g*t a date w*th my sn*per r*fle and a bunch *f *mps.
[04:11] AA: Sounds fun.
[04:11] AA: So, have fun.
[04:11] AG: See y*u later.

>Go imp hunting
You head to the outside of your house, up a ladder, and onto the roof of your house. You then set yourself up with HEADSHOT so that you are looking directly at a large group of imps.
>Fire
You begin unloading your clip, landing bullets into various imp heads, and causing them to explode into piles of grist. You fire until the group of imps is no more.
>Loot
That is definitely the reasonable thing to do now. You head over to the grist pile, and collect it all. You have a decent amount now, but more is always better.
>Alchemize comm device
Good idea. You head back to your house and alchemize the totem you had made earlier. You gain the Commset, a pair of headphones that has all the functions of a phone, particularly PesterChum. Now you'll be able to chat with others without having to use up your hands while talking to someone. You can slay imps and pester someone at the same time!
>Do the slaying and pestering at the same time
You head out, figuring that you'd find some imps to slay with your hidden blades while talking to more people.

[08:47] CA: I just woke up from a nap, so could you not message me out of nowhere?
[08:47] CA: I was getting really comfy in there.
[08:47] AG: I ap*l*g*ze.
[08:47] AG: H*w were y*ur dreams?
[08:47] CA: Well, I had a dream about my past.
[08:48] CA: About chicken casserole.
[08:48] CA: My dad.
[08:48] CA: And that's it.
[08:48] AG: Hm, s*unds l*ke a regular dream t* me.
[08:48] CA: Yeah, it was.
[08:48] AG: S*me *f us have been hav*ng...
[08:48] CA: Speaking of which, I'm gonna go see if he's down there right now.
[08:48] AG: Stranger dreams.
[08:48] CA: Specify.
[08:49] CA: I've been through strange in reality.
[08:49] AG: They*ve *nv*lved tw* d*fferent places, *ne yell*w and *ne purple.
[08:49] AG: A few *f us have dreamed *f these places.
[08:49] CA: Okay.
[08:50] CA: What are they like?
[08:50] AG: Usually, the r**m appears as y*ur *wn.
[08:50] CA: Hm, okay.
[08:50] AG: In my *wn spec*al case, I bel*eve I was taken fr*m my r**m by the res*dents *f the purple place.
[08:51] CA: Why is it so?
[08:51] AG: I*m n*t ent*rely sure as *f yet.
[08:51] AG: I*ve *nly just started unravel*ng that mystery.
[08:51] AG: Th*ugh I d* bel*eve that *t has s*meth*ng t* d* w*th the purple res*dents and the yell*w *nes n*t gett*ng al*ng.
[08:52] CA: How much do they dislike each other?

[08:53] CA: Hm.
[08:53] CA: How vague.
[08:53] AG: Y*u*ll have t* tell me *f y*u have any dreams *f th*s s*rt.
[08:53] CA: Well...
[08:53] AG: I*d l*ke m*re *nf*rmat**n t* p*ece th*s all t*gether.
[08:53] CA: I've seen a lot of clouds once in a dream.
[08:54] CA: Looked like...
[08:54] AG: Cl*uds? G* *n.
[08:54] CA: They were showing something.
[08:54] AG: V*s**ns?
[08:54] CA: I couldn't remember what it was.
[08:54] CA: This probably is just big baloney.
[08:55] AG: I d*ubt that.
[08:55] CA: If you say so.
[08:55] AG: Pe*ple d*n*t just have the same *dd dream.
[08:55] CA: Oh my god my dad is missing.

[08:55] CA: talking to some...
[08:55] AG: Wh**s he talk*ng t*?
[08:57] CA: A group of snakes on their hind legs.
[08:57] CA: Why is my life so weird?
[08:58] AG: Snakes?
[08:58] AG: Hm.
[08:58] CA: They're quite cute, actually.
[08:58] AG: That d*esn*t resemble the *mps..
[08:58] CA: And they don't seem so hostile.
[08:58] AG: Keep wary.
[08:59] AG: Y*u never kn*w what th*s game w*ll thr*w at y*u.
[08:59] AG: ..D*d I ment**n that I entered the Med*um yet?
[08:59] CA: Oh, you did too?
[08:59] CA: Who's your client?

[08:59] AG: T*ry*s my server.

[09:00] AG: TT
[09:00] AG: Thauma
[09:00] CA: I know.
[09:00] CA: So from what I'm hearing from the snakes...
[09:01] CA: It sounds like they want food.
[09:01] AG: Are y*u g**ng t* get them f**d?
[09:01] CA: From what I can make out, it seems that their food supply is running dangerously low.
[09:02] CA: And of course! I'm a smart person, but I wouldn't leave someone to starve!
[09:02] AG: That s*unds terr*ble.
[09:02] AG: T* the f*rst th*ng, n*t the sec*nd.
[09:02] CA: You know what?
[09:02] AG: Hm?
[09:02] CA: I'm making them chocolate cake.
[09:03] CA: And it's gonna be the best fucking cake in the whole world.
[09:03] CA: ...Well, medium.
[09:03] AG: Y*u sh*uld check what they can eat f*rst.
[09:03] CA: Yeah, let me just check.
[09:03] AG: Make sure y*ur n*t bak*ng them a p**s*n.
[09:06] CA: I got the A-OK.
[09:06] AG: C**l.
[09:06] AG: I was th*nk*ng...
[09:07] AG: Maybe these snake guys are the *nhab*tants *f y*ur place.
[09:07] CA: I'm getting that impression.
[09:07] CA: It almost seems like they're a tribe.
[09:07] AG: H*w *ntell*gent are they?
[09:08] CA: I don't exactly know.
[09:08] AG: They c*uld be a great asset *n th*s w*rld *f we can befr*end them.
[09:09] CA: So let me just see if I can find the baking mix...
[09:09] CA: Wait, never mind.
[09:09] CA: We had leftovers from last night.
[09:09] AG: N*ce.
[09:10] AG: Oh, have y*u been alchem*z*ng anyth*ng new?
[09:11] CA: I made the Scopeshooter with your sniper rifle code.
[09:11] CA: Thing is so sweet.
[09:11] AG: Ah, that*s what y*u d*d w*th that.
[09:11] AG: I made a c**l headset th*ng us*ng a headph*ne c*de fr*m Clem and my ph*ne

[09:12] CA: I put my phone and computer together.
[09:13] AG: Maybe I*ll add the c*mputer t* the headset t**.
[09:13] AG: It sh*uld help when I bec*me a server player.
[09:13] CA: It could.
[09:14] AG: G*ven that *t seems that y*u need a c*mputer t* use the *nterface.
[09:14] CA: Yeah.
[09:14] CA: Okay, I'm gonna go kill more Imps.
[09:14] CA: Talk to you later.

You are now Evan. You have just woken up from a nap by a message.
And you were just starting to get some solid shuteye for once!
>Answer someone's pesterings.
The ensuing pesterlog begins above.
>Give leftovers to snake-people.
It will do the job.
After you give them a big, plastic bowl of chicken casserole, one snake comes out of the crowd and gives you a couple of seashells.
D'awww.
>Fare them well.
You say your goodbyes, and they do too.
That was a heartwarming moment.
Your dad goes inside to watch more TV.
>Suddenly, imps AND ogres!
Oh goddammit, one thing after another indeed.

You are still Evan. This is the second time in the row!
You've really got to stop doing this.
The ogres and imps have been defeated, although your HEALTH VIAL is knocked out quite a bit.
You loot the VITALITY GELS and mountains and mountains of GRIST.
Another person is pestering you.

You are suddenly Igor. You sigh as the screen suddenly freezes and your entire computer crashes into a blue screen of death. As Mark is already in the medium, it's not the worst that could happen, but still... As the glitchy looped sound that is usually heard when crashes like this happen stops, only the sound of the wind howling outside is left... It leaves you thinking. ...Whatever dreams and visions are, they are definitely more than just creations of our subconciousness confined entirely within our own conciousness and perception. After all, collective dream mediums DO seem to exist - in particular, the medium consisting of a "golden world" and a "purple world", each having towers that we live in during our dreams. The "golden world" is where my latest dream took place in and where the vision that ultimately saved me from certain death occured. That dream medium(or part of the dream medium) seems to have a light and calm emotional climate in general, and appears to be the one that is "native" to me. The other one, the "purple world", seems to be the polar opposite of the "golden world", with a dark, always uncertain and "nightmarish" atmosphere, though Shay has reported the "purple world" also seeming "peaceful", at least to her... Another fact is that pieces of information about something that has not happened yet and that is located in the possible future(possible, because the amount of variations the future has given the present is always infinite with only the probability of any given variation occuring being higher or lower than that of other variations) are sometimes inserted into dreams, presumably by an outside source(though there is a possibility that it is not an outside source, but, rather, our subconcious, and that there is more information about the "induced outcome" hidden in it that simply cannot be normally accessed). There are two occurences of this that I have managed to spot so far: the nightmare ghost("UBOA") and the "golden world" cloud vision. The first one interests me the most, and is an entity from a video game that had appeared in one of my dreams before I have played said video game and had teleported me into the "purple world", which seems to be the domain of said entity. Its manifestation in reality, besides the version encountered in a video game, is yet to happen, unlike the second vision, which has already lead me to a certain outcome or series of outcomes...>Stop writing down your thoughts with a pink gel ink pen. PSYCHEYou DO realize you are writing your thoughts into a notebook that was conveniently located on the table next to the laptop, with a pink gel ink pen also conveniently located next to it. >Stop pretending to be RL and push the reset button. How can you stop pretending to be real(RL = Real Life) if you ARE, in fact, real? You do push the reset button, though, and the laptop successfully resets and boots up to the desktop. >Pester some of the people. As Mark seems to be able to defend himself in the game world(at least for now), you decide to take a break from servering him and see what some of your other internet friends are up to...

I don't even know how much time we have left.>[05:53] TC: No, it's not just in our houses either.[05:53] TC: I looked it up, meteorites are raining pretty much everywhere.[05:53] TC: Either everyone's playng, or something else is happening[05:53] FM: <Okay.>[05:53] FM: <That's even fucking worse than I thought.>[05:54] FM: <So, what are the scientists saying?>[05:54] TC: Everyone has no idea and are too busy freaking out to help anyway.[05:54] FM: <The data from the ground telescopes?

They're just popping up in the planet's atmosphere.[05:56] FM: <So, it seems that not only we, but the WHOLE FUCKING PLANET is in danger.>[05:56] TC: That's right.[05:57] FM: <Because guess what it only takes like a few large enough space rocks to incinerate all life on the planet>[05:57] FM: <Also, remember how the dinosaurs went down?

The only thing I know is... there has to be some explanation to all this.>[06:04] TC: I mean, I guess.[06:05] FM: <Be it hidden in our minds, this game, or, fuck it, some kind of God that causes all this.>[06:05] TC: The meteorites could be the game.[06:06] FM: <But even then, if it's a deity, what are its intentions in this world? If it's not, what kind of laws does this follow?>[06:06] FM: <And this game... is a secret in itself?

[07:40] FM: <Hi Clem>
[07:40] AA: Good day, Igor.
[07:40] FM: <Just helped Mark enter the game>
[07:41] AA: That's good. I still wonder who my server player would be.
[07:41] FM: <His planet is... not exactly the most pleasant one.>
[07:42] FM: <I mean, there is a river of acid and strange red plantlife next to the flat block that was teleported in>
[07:42] AA: ...Well then.
[07:43] AA: Evan's house has been teleported onto a beach. The sky is red and a single pulse is stricken through the skyline.
[07:43] FM: <Since I'm a server player, my camera was locked on Mark>
[07:43] FM: <okay>
[07:43] FM: <and I wasn't able to see much outside of the flat block, only, again, the things I've described>
[07:44] AA: Hm, okay.
[07:44] FM: <Evan's planet seems... really interesting.>
[07:44] AA: It is indeed.
[07:44] AA: He went hunting for monsters a bit ago.
[07:44] AA: He collected quite a bit of Grist and managed to alchemize some things.
[07:44] FM: <Okay>
[07:45] FM: <What did he alchemize, by the way?>
[07:45] AA: He tried alchemizing his shotgun with some sort of video game, which he was unable to due to the cost.
[07:45] AA: I think he alchemized something with boots, too.
[07:46] FM: <And what is "alchemizing" anyway? Like I figured it has something to do with the platform machine, but I still don't know what it is>
[07:46] FM: <There was also this "punch designix" thing that appeared in my server inventory, but guess fucking what>
[07:46] AA: It's the art of combining two objects into a singular one at the cost of Grist.
[07:46] AA: And what?
[07:46] FM: <THE ENTIRE FUCKING LAPTOP>
[07:47] FM: <CRASHED INTO A GODDAMN>
[07:47] FM: <BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH>
[07:47] FM: <THANK GOD IT RESET FINE AT LEAST.>
[07:47] FM: <RESTARTED*>
[07:48] FM: <Thank fucking god I wasn't holding anything particularly important when the crash happened>
[07:49] FM: <Anyways, how exactly do you perform this "alchemy", by the way?>
[07:50] FM: <...Clem?>
[07:50] FM: <What happened?>
[07:50] FM: <Are you there?>
[07:52] FM: <CLEM>
[07:53] FM: <WELL GUESS WHAT>
[07:53] FM: <MY ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE SEEMS TO BE A FUCKING GLITCH>
[07:53] AA: Ehat.
[07:53] AA: What*.
[07:53] FM: <thank god>
[07:53] FM: <I thought I just lost connection FUCKING AGAIN.>
[07:54] AA: Oh.
[07:54] FM: <Anyways, how exactly do you "alchemize" something?>
[07:58] FM: <Clem?>
[07:59] FM: <Can you see my messages?>
[08:02] FM: <CLEM, ARE YOU THERE?>
[08:03] FM: <SO MUCH FOR FUCKING SKAIANET INTERDIMENSIONAL CONNECTION>
[08:05] FM: <LIKE SERIOUSLY>
[08:06] FM: <WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS CRAP BEING ABLE TO CONNECT EVEN TO OTHER PLANETS IF IT CAN'T EVEN SUSTAIN A REGULAR CONNECTION WITHOUT FUCKING GLITCHY BULLSHIT>
[08:06] AA: I had to deal with something. I'm sorry.
[08:06] FM: <oh>
[08:06] FM: <thank god>
[08:06] FM: <I thought that was just a connection issu>
[08:06] AA: My mother is breathing down my neck.
[08:06] FM: <Mother?>
[08:06] AA: Well, fear not. That is not the case.
[08:06] AA: Yes.
[08:07] FM: <What's the deal with her, by the way?>
[08:07] AA: What deal?
[08:07] FM: <you said that "she's breathing down your neck">
[08:07] AA: That's not literal, but she keeps checking on me.
[08:07] AA: I find that pretty annoying.
[08:08] AA: She also keeps asking me to do things.
[08:10] FM: <I...I don't know. I've always been getting along pretty well with my family, and for family members to constantly check and spy on others... it just seems unnatural>
[08:10] AA: Meh. I've never found it too big of a deal.
[08:11] FM: <Probably just our family differences, though.>
[08:11] AA: True.
[08:11] FM: <Anyways, what exactly is the process for "alchemizing" things?>
[08:12] AA: You will need to have access to the Alchemizer.
[08:12] FM: <Okay>
[08:12] AA: It is used for making your Artifact, used to enter the Medium. It is also used, to, you guessed it; alchemize stuff.
[08:12] FM: <That's one of the starting machines I placed in Mark's, the one with the platform>
[08:12] AA: That's it.
[08:13] FM: <His "artifact" was a glob of black goo that has also apparently caused glitches all over my screen>
[08:13] AA: Hm.
[08:13] AA: By any chance, is it Oobleck?
[08:14] FM: <Yes, that's it>
[08:14] AA: Ah. I've heard of it.
[08:14] AA: Mark and his chemistry. Heh.
[08:14] FM: <Yeah>
[08:15] FM: <Anyways>
[08:15] FM: <How do you combine items using it, then?>
[08:16] AA: You should have a good amount of Grist before trying to alchemize.
[08:16] FM: <Do you need to insert a different kind of card into the carving machine? A different kind of crystal cylinder?>
[08:16] FM: <Okay>
[08:16] AA: You just put two items on it and it should give you an option to alchemize it to something. But you will need to carve a totem with Cruxite, I think.
[08:16] FM: <Mark has plenty of imps around his house, I think>
[08:16] FM: <he can kill>
[08:17] AA: Captcha cards are also needed. Mostly for the codes on the back.
[08:17] FM: <I assume Cruxite is that black crystal cylinder he got from the first machine I placed>
[08:18] FM: <Codes on the back? Huh, let me see...>
[08:18] FM: <So far, I only have 2 items in my captchalogue>
[08:18] FM: <A smartphone taking up one slot>
[08:19] FM: <and a bunch of towels in another>
[08:19] AA: Towels? Hm.
[08:19] FM: <Towels and bedsheets, all in one slot>
[08:20] FM: <Long story short, I planned to make a rope out of them, however, it wasn't really needed>
[08:20] FM: <Both cards have codes on the back.>
[08:22] FM: <Okay Clem>
[08:23] FM: <So how exactly do you combine the items if you have found a good combination and have enough grist to create it?>
[08:24] FM: <Clem?>
[08:25] FM: <okay hold on brb>
Your conversation is interrupted as you hear a loud knock on the door. You quickly rush towards it to see who's knocking, terrified by the possibility that it might be the flat's owner. However, there seems to be nobody outside the door. Strange. Nonetheless, you return to your room to continue the conversation.
[08:37] FM: <back>
[08:38] AA: Oh, welcome back.
[08:38] AA: I was away because of my mother again.
[08:38] FM: <Okay>
[08:39] FM: <So how exactly do you combine two items, again?>
[08:39] FM: <I assume it has to do with the machinery we have>
[08:39] AA: I believe you have to use both codes to combine them into one. Yes.
[08:40] FM: <How do you do so, then?>
[08:40] AA: You input them in the Alchemizer. You will need to have atleast ONE item present on the platform for it to correctly alchemize. This means that people can share codes with one another.
[08:41] FM: <Okay>
[08:42] FM: <And what does that "punch designix" thing do, by the way?>
[08:42] AA: It punches holes in cards. I do believe that the holes it punches resemble captcha codes.
[08:42] FM: <Okay>
[08:43] FM: <So then you insert those punched cards into the carving machine just like that pre-punched artifact card, right?>
[08:44] AA: Yes. I think you are able to insert said card into the Alchemizer as well.
[08:45] FM: <Okay>
[08:45] AA: But I do have to take my leave now. There's things I have to do in preparation for my entrance in the Medium. Am I departing at an ill time?
[08:46] FM: <Not at all, just one more thing>
[08:46] FM: <How do you create a "combination" card?>
[08:46] FM: <Do you just punch two codes at once on one card>
[08:46] AA: I believe you will have to do something akin that.
[08:46] AA: I'm not too sure.
[08:46] AA: This was all the current information I'm able to provide on the subject, though.
[08:47] AA: I will now take my leave. Goodbye for now, Igor.
[08:47] FM: <Bye CLem.>

You are now Evan again.
At this point, you have just took out the massive dump of EMPTY CAPTCHALOGUE CARDS. It will be much easier to alchemize things now.
Someone is pestering you.
>Be pestered by Igor.
[06:08] -- flamingMetalworks [FM] began pestering cosmonogicalAccelerator [CA] at 06:08 -- [06:08] FM: <Hi Evan> [06:09] CA: Greetings. [06:09] FM: <So, I've heard you were the first to enter the game's world> [06:09] CA: Yeah. [06:09] CA: But to be honest... [06:09] FM: <what> [06:09] CA: I think we each get our own planet. [06:09] FM: <I think so> [06:10] FM: <considering I was the one who servered Mark> [06:10] CA: How did it go? [06:10] FM: <Fine, except the planet he ended up on...> [06:10] FM: <is pretty damn unpleasant.> [06:10] CA: Specify. [06:11] FM: <And by that, I mean fucking acid rivers and red plantlife that is probably dangerous> [06:11] FM: <not to mention hordes of imps and fucking glitches all ver my screen> [06:11] FM: <over* damnit> [06:11] FM: <well maybe not hordes> [06:11] CA: Yeah I've had Imps. [06:11] FM: <but glitches - fucking definitely> [06:11] CA: But glitches? Never saw them. [06:12] FM: <like first of all - the game for me showed the WRONG type of grist> [06:12] CA: Like? [06:12] FM: <He collected blue "build grist", but the game showed purple "shale grist" being collected> [06:12] CA: Huh. [06:13] FM: <Next up, my screen froze and glitched up a couple of times> [06:13] CA: Okay that's not normal. [06:13] FM: <making me unable to even fucking SEE what's up on Mark's side> [06:13] FM: <and guess what happened next> [06:14] FM: <okay brb> [06:15] FM: <okay I'm back, and it's honestly getting more and more fucking insane every second> [06:15] CA: I'm not sure how to respond on this. [06:15] FM: <oh yeah, and what happened was: my ENTIRE computer crashed into a BSOD, and after that, the server copy I have refused to start> [06:16] FM: <Now, what happened in this very moment when I said "brb"> [06:16] FM: <is basically, somebody was banging on the door loudly> [06:16] FM: <I looked - nobody> [06:17] FM: <either some creep is trying to pull a prank on me, or... I don't even know how to explain it> [06:17] CA: Huh. [06:18] FM: <too much fucking stuff I can't even give a clear explanation too has fallen on my head in the past 2 hours> [06:18] FM: <so I'm sorry if I'm too fucking chaotic in this chat> [06:19] CA: It's okay.

[06:19] FM: <I don't have a client> [06:19] FM: <fucking russian mail always ruining it for everybody> [06:19] CA: Russian mail, everybody. [06:20] FM: <and I mean literally everybody because guess what happens if I don't find the client fast enough> [06:21] CA: Have you at least deployed any machines and stuff?

[06:21] FM: <WITHOUT A CLIENT - SERVER CONNECTION> [06:21] CA: Well I just assumed you deployed them before the game glitched. [06:22] FM: <but you know... I've only found the server disk> [06:22] FM: <which I used to help Mark enter> [06:22] FM: <I don't have a client disk on me currently> [06:22] CA: Okay, so the Internet is still working.

[06:29] FM: <oh okay> [06:29] CA: So much grist. [06:30] CA: So much of it. [06:30] CA: Wait. [06:30] CA: Igor, I want you to do me a favor. [06:30] FM: <I captchalogued one of the laser pointers> [06:30] FM: <okay what evan> [06:30] CA: What do you have in your sylladex right now? [06:31] FM: <Basically, I have a smartphone, a bunch of bedsheets<in one slot>, a laser pointer> [06:31] CA: That's it? [06:31] FM: <and I assigned the knife "knifekind" to combat for now> [06:32] FM: <What I wanted to do> [06:32] FM: <Is send you the code for the laser pointer> [06:33] FM: <I think if you combine it with something, you can upgrade it to a laser cannon> [06:33] FM: <basically, the code is:> [06:34] FM: <24FA87XQ> [06:34] CA: Good to know. [06:34] CA: Thanks. [06:35] FM: <Basically, combine it first with a stronger power source, then with a gun> [06:35] CA: Okay then. [06:35] CA: Hold on.
>Go downstairs.
[06:35] FM: <Now, what favor were you talking about, again?>
[06:36] CA: Something about captchalogue codes.
[06:36] FM: <Okay>
[06:37] FM: <what>
[06:37] CA: But you provided me a code for something useful, so I guess that favor's been done.
[06:37] FM: <Oh okay>
[06:37] CA: Is Mark online?
[06:38] FM: <Yeah, he is>
[06:38] FM: <He is on his acid planet>
[06:38] FM: <I think he has a smartphone or a tablet or something>
[06:38] CA: That's slightly more reliving.
[06:38] CA: *relieving
[06:38] CA: God.
[06:39] FM: <and the client copy is really only needed for the server to lock on and to initiate his game>
[06:39] FM: <his as in client's>
[06:39] CA: Okay.
[06:40] FM: <Now, I just want to ask you something >
[06:40] CA: Go ahead.
[06:41] FM: <Have you had any "strange" dreams you remember?>
[06:41] FM: <More specifically, ones involving a golden yellow or a purple room>
[06:41] CA: No.
[06:41] CA: Shay and I talked about them, though.
[06:42] FM: <Okay>
[06:42] FM: <I also talked a lot with her>
[06:42] CA: I've also been talking with another girl...
[06:42] CA: Someone named Lily?
[06:42] FM: <Lily?>
[06:43] FM: <Is that the girl Shay talked with in her dreams?>
[06:43] CA: Seems to be so.
[06:43] FM: <now >
[06:43] FM: <If she talked to you>
[06:44] FM: <...>
[06:44] FM: <wait that's NOT at all what I meant to say>
[06:45] CA: Then what?
[06:45] FM: <Okay, can you please tell me what did she say to you>
[06:45] FM: <if that's not a personal secret>
[06:45] FM: <of course>
[06:46] CA: Something about rules.
[06:46] FM: <okay>
[06:46] FM: <the rules of...what? Sburb?>
[06:46] FM: <I'm sure I understand just as much as you do>
[06:46] CA: No, just rules about having to be vauge.
[06:47] CA: *vague. God, my spelling skills are piss-poor low today.
[06:47] CA: And she said she was 'sorta like her guide person'.
[06:47] FM: <yeah I feel you>
[06:47] CA: Shay's guide person.
[06:47] FM: <Okay... But if she is a dream guide and she has managed to pester you while you were awake>
[06:48] FM: <then the dream world is just as real as the "awake world">
[06:48] FM: <and is not just created in our minds>
[06:49] FM: <Now, "having to be vague..." I don't even know why a rule like that would exist>
[06:50] CA: I know.
[06:51] FM: <There was also this one dream I had which literally saved my life today>
[06:51] CA: Like?
[06:51] FM: <Long story short, it has pointed me to this flat>
[06:52] FM: <which is the only place safe from the cold outside>
[06:52] FM: <because due to the fucking blizzard, centralized heating is dead>
[06:52] FM: <The building my home flat is has lost power>
[06:53] FM: <So I had to perform some pretty tricky stuff to get to this one>
[06:53] FM: <and the flat the dream vision pointed me to was open>
[06:54] CA: Okay, I found a generator.
[06:54] CA: Multiple generators, actually.
[06:54] CA: I'm sure that will be useful.
[06:54] FM: <Okay>
[06:54] FM: <I'm currently in that flat>
[06:55] FM: <And by the way, about the generators... how much would it cost to combine one of them with the laser pointer I sent you?>
[06:55] CA: Hold on, let me take it to the Alchemiter.
[06:56] FM: <I imagine a lot>
[06:56] CA: It costs 1000 build grist, 2000 shale, and 300 rubies.
[06:56] CA: Rubies I just only discovered.
[06:57] CA: But there were a lot of them, so I guess I could make something like that.
[06:57] FM: <What do they drop from, by the way?>
[06:57] CA: Apparently monsters in my planet.
[06:57] FM: <Okay>
[06:57] CA: They seem to only drop from ogres, but they give out a decent amount.
[06:57] FM: <So basically, all you need now is to grind the monsters>
[06:57] CA: Yeah.
[06:58] CA: I figure that will become boring.
[06:58] FM: <yeah...>
[06:58] FM: <the door prankster guy is back again>
[06:58] FM: <except now I'm sure he's WORSE than a prankster>
[06:59] FM: <okay>
[07:00] CA: Oh wow this takes a lot of grist.
[07:00] FM: <I see nobody as expected>
[07:00] CA: I already used up most of mine, so...
[07:00] CA: Time to grind again!
[07:00] FM: <CRAP>
[07:00] FM: <SOMEBODY PLESE HEPL>
[07:00] CA: Igor?
[07:01] FM: <IT'S AFTER ME>
[07:01] CA: What is?

[07:01] CA: Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT
[07:01] CA: SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT
[07:02] CA: IGOR?
[07:02] CA: Aw shit.
[07:03] FM: <I don't want to do this, but... I kinda have to break this string now :>>

[07:05] CA: Who's Mrs. Dreamy?

You are now Anna.
> STRIFE!
You begin your strife with the bully!
> Attempt diplomacy.
You try to reason with your tormentor. He merely laughs.
He flings insults at you.
Anna's FEELINGS were harmed!
> Try to get around him.
You try to get around the bully. But he just keeps moving to make sure you can't proceed towards the door!
> Push him.
You try to shove him to stun him for a moment so you can get past. But he doesn't even budge! In retaliation, the bully slaps you across the face, knocking you to the ground.
You try not to cry, because that will only encourage him.
Just in time, your mother opens the door. She sees the red mark on your face, and is immediately furious! She threatens to call the police if she catches the bully on the property and is lucky she isn't pressing charges. The bully runs away, getting the idea.
Your mother helps you up and gives you a hug, promising to contact the parents of the kid who hurt you about this. You are slightly embarrassed that you needed to be rescued by your mother, but you are more relieved than anything else. You go inside the house to get back on your computer.
> Get pestered by Igor.
We already had this conversation! Go up a few posts to see the conversation!
===>
You're now very concerned about all of this. SBURB doesn't seem to be a normal video game. Yes, it's even more innovative than the Vive virtual reality consoles, but it seems to be bringing on the apocalypse. In fact, there seems to be a meteor heading towards your home! You're worried about your mother and yourself, but if Evan's whole house was warped to the Medium, the same must be true for everyone else, right? So that means if you enter the Medium, Mom will be teleported there, too.
This makes you feel more at ease, but the meteor outside is still rather frightening.
You decide to calm down by bringing up some computer shemiji and playing with them.

You are suddenly someone who is currently locked in combat!
>Tory: STRIFE!!!
You attempt to leave the music of heated combat out of this, but absolutely fail at it. Your SISTER is too strong! You've been at it for a good while after meeting her in the living room, and her stupid lousy goddamned UNBREAKABLE METER STICK is a force to behold.
Nonetheless, you must persevere. You get up from your knees after taking a particularly powerful MEASUREMENT MAULING, and...
====>
She suddenly breaks off and throws your SBURB DISCS your way, which you deftly captchalogue within reaching distance--they go right to the MAROON card, cheating the system by taking into account the case's other color as neutral and kind of maroonish anyway you guess? (you don't want to throw out that ship anywhere near her!). She most likely knew you were going to look for them after you so foolishly chucked them off... regardless, she scampers off to do whatever she does. You haven't pried much into her business, and in all fairness you don't really care about it. It's probably awesome science stuff as she's prone to telling you about.
>Examine area.
Nothing outstanding about it--it's your living room, after all. Lots of you and your sister's academic awards and a heapful of books adorn the place, in addition to all the traditional things you'd find in any other room like this. You make a note of checking out some of the other particularly notable objects around, such as the enshrined mutant cat. It's weird, but oddly complimenting to the house, so you've never questioned it.
>Captchalogue CAT SHRINE.
Yoink! It goes into your CERULEAN-colored card. You'll return it later, you suppose. You have to be prepared for anything that might come next, so anything you find before heading back to your room is fair game. You glance out the window, getting a good look at the rainy, stormy weather plaguing the day. It's nice, save for the occasional streak of red illuminating the sky. Huh. Ominous.
>Return to your room.
You've been wasting a lot of time out here, you presume. You decide to get back to gamin' on before your peers get impatient or something silly. You nab a PAPER TALISMAN hanging by the stairs as well, stuffing it into the TEAL card, and... your stomach rumbles, inconveniently enough.
>Get a snack first!
Eh, they can wait. You go ahead and make your way towards the kitchen to get something to nibble on quick. Shouldn't take long, right?
>Quick, switch while you snack! |

Lily seems like a really nice person, too. So, basically, everything is going to be okay? That means that Igor will be fine too, at least until he enters the Medium. > Take a look at your phone. You turn on your iPhone. You don't have many contacts--you do all of the talking on the computer--, but what it does have is some mobile games.

You are now someone else. >Kill more impsYou proceed to do the slicey thing with your Hidden Blades. The imps stand no chance against it. You kill another group of them, and loot them all for more grist spoils. >Check Strife SpecibusYou only have two that you like to use: Sniperkind and Daggerkind. The Sniperkind slot contains HEADSHOT, and the Daggerkind slot contains your Hidden Blades. >Check ModusIt's your favorite, the Kuji-Kiri Modus. It's efficient, and it allows you to connect with your inner ninja. You just have to match up the wanted item with two words, and it'll go into it's respective spot on the grid. One row word and one column word does the trick. Then you just do the corresponding hand gesture, in which the row word always comes first, and you can interact with your captchalogued items. >Check back of ModusThere are only two things on the back of your Modus. You can switch your Modus' mode from 'Summon' to 'Throw' (It's currently on summon), and you can eject everything. That's helpful when you want to reorganize your items. Though there's no button for this. You just have to do all nine of the hand gestures one after the other. It's mostly just a reminder that you can do that. >Go Pester AnnaYou do that earlier Anna pester, while fighting another small group of imps. Then, as you said, a much larger monster attacks you. >StrifeYou fight the big monster guy. It's a hard battle, and you just barely win, but you do. You would elaborate, but you don't feel like doing that. >Elaborate anywayYou loot the big monster guy, then head back to your home instead. >Pester Mark

You are now Igor. >Pester Evan. This is a conversation we have already seen. During it, you hear knocking on the door of the flat, however, when you try to investigate, there doesn't seem to be anybody outside the door... At first, you thought it's some kind of door prankster - but no, the knocks are getting louder and louder, almost if somebody is trying to break the door down... You grab a pair of KNIVES and a LASER POINTER from the strange closet mentioned in the conversation, open the door carefully and look around the hallway. Nobody. Suddenly, something heavy hits you on the head and knocks you unconcious... You wake up in a "golden" room - the very same one you've seen in your recent dream that just so happened to save your life. However, this time, you have a distinct feeling of... reality in this place, as if you simply got transported into it and are now awake... Instead of your usual clothes, you are dressed in some kind of yellow...pyjamas? >Get out of bed look out of the window. You walk up to the window and look out. The room you are in seems to be on the top of a tower above what seems to be a large city, much like in the other dream with the purple room, except that... well, everything is golden-yellow. You also notice another tower similar to yours a bit away. >Examine the room. Most of the things from your room have some kind of "duplicates" here - the layout is the same, the shelves are there(though they are now occupied with books rather than computer game discs), a guitar almost exactly the same as yours, even the computer... Wait a second, what's THAT on the table? >Examine the table. ...Two brown envelopes, one with the SBURB logo and other with the same logo you've seen on the other server copy... >Pick up SBURB copies. As you pick up the copies, everything whites out and you begin to restore conciousness in the real world... >Fully wake up. ...You get up from the floor. You are in the hallway next to the wide open door of the flat you were in before getting knocked out. Strangely enough, doors to other flats are also open, with absolutely no sound coming from them... You look into your inventory to see that there are 2 new items - the envelopes you've picked up in the "dream world" before waking up. This is... unnerving to say the least. What's even more unnerving is the fact that there is a meteor approaching your house and that you need to get this shit done and enter. FAST. You remember that Aria has a consistently working server copy, and her meteor doesn't seem to be coming any time soon. >Pester Aria.

[10:33] TC: And even then, we have barely progressed at all.
[10:33] TC: Or at least, last I checked.
[10:33] FM: <I only know that Mark and Clem have entered>
[10:33] FM: <who else is in?>
[10:33] TC: Oh yeah, two, sorry.
[10:34] TC: Anyways, focus on the game!
[10:34] FM: <okay>
[10:34] FM: <the totem is carved, 2 mins left>
[10:34] TC: Okay!
[10:34] TC: Put it in the alchemiter!
[10:35] FM: <okay so I'm putting it onto the alchemiter>
[10:35] FM: <it spawned some weird crystal blossom thing with a pyramid at the center>
[10:35] FM: <like what hte actual fuck>
[10:35] FM: <I've got the pyramid>
[10:35] FM: <now>
[10:35] FM: <what am i supposed to do with it>
[10:36] TC: I don't know?
[10:36] TC: Maybe shake it? Throw it somewhere?
[10:36] FM: <it doesn't fucking break for sure>
[10:36] TC: That much I can get.
[10:36] FM: <there is like a small white light inside>
[10:36] TC: I'm trying to keep watch on the uboaghost.
[10:36] TC: Maybe you need to do something with the light? Stare at it?
[10:36] FM: <AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL TO DO NOW EVEN>
[10:36] FM: <Well maybe>
[10:36] FM: <Think, Igor, think....>
[10:37] FM: <either you figure it out fast or... everyone's dead...>
[10:37] FM: <dead,,,d>

[10:37] TC: Ah, thank god.
[10:37] FM: <eveyrhtiungs spini nieg>
[10:38] TC: Umm...
[10:38] TC: You're probably entering the game, try to concentrate instead of talking to me.
[10:38] FM: <OKAY>
[10:38] FM: <okay I'm in>
[10:38] TC: I can't see much on my end, just light.
[10:38] TC: There you go.
[10:38] FM: <take a deep breath>
[10:38] FM: <everything's alright>
[10:38] FM: <no need to panic>
[10:38] FM: <the ghost is friendly>
[10:39] FM: <I escaped the meteor>
[10:39] FM: <everything's fine...>
[10:39] TC: I remember now, Shay entered.
[10:39] FM: <That's actually...really nice>
[10:39] FM: <I was worried about her>
[10:39] TC: I have a feeling I'm probably going to have to enter last.
[10:40] FM: <Why would that be?>
[10:40] TC: I don't see my meteor approaching, but there's a lot of meteors bombarding the vicinity.
[10:40] FM: <Oh oaky>
[10:40] FM: <okay*>

You are now Anna. > Get off of computer. It seems that this person is persistent. And mean as he called you all sorts of offensive names regarding your gender. > Look outside. The meteor is still there, in fact a little too close for comfort. You imagine that Igor is okay, but for now you have to enter the Medium before you're blown to smithereens. > Prepare the Let's Play. Nonetheless, a game is a game, so you prepare for the client-side Let's Play by putting on glasses with a mini-camera on it. Good thing you decided to put in the client copy behind the scenes! And recording in three...two...one... Anna: Hi people, and welcome to Let's Play SBURB!
Anna: Now, things are a bit more...crazy than other games to say the least.
Anna: Which is why I'm doing something that I don't usually do.
Anna: I'm RECOMMENDING this game before I begin playing.
Anna: It's for reasons that you probably won't believe, but I will say that SBURB is a must-play.
Anna: Anyways, SBURB is....I'm not sure what genre to call it.
Anna: Not much is known about the game, other than you have someone--your server player--help you into a place called "the Medium", which requires the client copy on your part.
Anna: You can also help another person by being the server player of someone else, or the client player. This requires the server copy.
Anna: I'm being the client player for now, which is why I have my camera glasses.
Anna: Without further ado, let us begin!
Anna: But first, I need to contact my server player! [12:25] -- crazyGamer [CG] began pestering chemicallyVoidarmy [CV] at 12:25 --
[12:25] CG: Hi!
[12:25] CV: Hey Anna!
[12:25] CG: Do you have the server copy?
[12:26] CV: Have it with me, next to a laptop right now.
[12:26] CV: Just lemme install...
[12:26] CG: Okay!
[12:26] CV: Alright, done. I think I can see you.
[12:27] CG: Yeah. I have the glasses on since I'm doing a Let's Play.
[12:27] CV: Okay is that your living room or something
[12:27] CG: It's my bedroom.
[12:27] CV: WELL YOU DON'T NEED THIS DESK
[12:27] CV: Wait
[12:28] CV: Gotta put your computer down.
[12:28] CG: Yeah, that's a good idea.
[12:28] CV: OUTTA THE DOOR
[12:28] CV: Put the... oh, it's called a Cruxtruder. Whatever, here it goes. > Examine Cruxtruder. It's a huge...thing. There's a sealed tube on top, with a wheel attached to it. You speak to your will-be audience. Anna: This is the Cruxtruder?
Anna: I wonder what it's for? [12:29] CG: What does the Cruxtruder do?
[12:29] CV: And I think the thing Igor did for me... mind if I borrow your bed?
[12:29] CG: And sure!
[12:29] CV: Stand clear I don't want you hurt
[12:29] CG: Okay, I'm backing up.
[12:30] CV: BAM The seal is broken and--sweet mother of Nintendo that's bright! You immediately cover your camera. Anna: I'm covering the camera for the sake of the elliptics. [12:30] CG: Wow, that's pretty bright.
[12:30] CV: Kernelsprite.
[12:31] CG: What do you do with it?
[12:31] CV: What do you have that you want to accompany you for god knows how long
[12:31] CG: Um....
[12:31] CG: I'll just get something out of my modus at random.
[12:32] CV: Like a toy or a doll or pet or something
[12:32] CV: But I guess modus stuff works too
[12:32] CG: I chose one of the Question Mark Boxes. So I guess I'm stuck with the Lucario Amiibo.
[12:33] CV: Also if you look at this part of the Cruxtruder you can see a steering wheel thingie
[12:33] CV: Turn it it's important
[12:33] CG: Okay! > Turn the wheel. [12:33] CG: I got some crystal cylinder thing.
[12:33] CV: If you throw the cylinder into the kernelsprite then you're fucked
[12:34] CG: Okay, I won't do that.
[12:34] CG: What DO I do with it, then?
[12:34] CV: Throw the Amiibo into the kernelsprite
[12:34] CG: Okay! > Throw Amiibo into kernelsprite. [12:35] CG: I did.
[12:35] CV: How's it look now
[12:35] CG: It's a Lucario head in the middle of a super bright and flashy circle.
[12:35] CV: I can't see because I'm slamming your closet through the door
[12:35] CV: Wait what uh
[12:36] CG: What's going on?
[12:36] CV: Huh, your kernelsprite looks incomplete. Now that I think about it mine might be too?
[12:36] CV: Just uh
[12:36] CV: Brb
[12:37] CV: Okay I chucked my chair at it and now it's a bitchin' snowman sitting on his wheely throne
[12:38] CV: Holy shit FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO THROW IN IT > Throw Cuddles into the sprite. [12:38] CG: I threw Cuddles at it.[12:38] CV: While I remove your closet in favour of the totem lathe[12:38] CV: Who's Cuddles is that a stuffed bunny[12:39] CV: I'm a lil busy[12:39] CG: That's my teddy bear![12:39] CV: Setting up a...

[12:48] CG: Really?
[12:48] CV: Well there's no giant meteor so
[12:48] CV: I guess so
[12:49] CG: I guess I'll go explore the place a little bit.
[12:49] CV: Actually you ought to look up you might see a flashing gate.

[05:50] FM: <hey mark>
[05:50] CV: What happened back there?
[05:50] CV: Also, I searched my mom's room and I can't find her
[05:50] FM: <Strange>
[05:50] FM: <I mean, the game could have just kicked her out>
[05:51] CV: That doesn't sound very good.
[05:51] FM: <yeah it doesn't>
[05:51] CV: Also Shay told me to combine my knives with something
[05:51] CV: But I don't know how??? > ==> [05:51] FM: <okay, so long story short, I finally have a client copy and a server that fucking works>
[05:52] CV: Good! How do we combine shit, though?
[05:52] FM: <let's just hope it doesn't screw up again, in which case, I'm gonna be fucking mad>
[05:52] FM: <Okay, so it connected>
[05:52] CV: Because Shay said I probably should because there are bigger enemies out there
[05:52] CV: Alright how much grist do we got
[05:52] FM: <how do they look like, by the way?>
[05:53] CV: She only described them as bigger.
[05:53] FM: <So, we got 100 build grist and 40 shale grist>
[05:53] FM: <I'm deploying the punch designix thing> > ==> Good ol' Igor, putting shit in convenient places for you. [05:53] FM: <okay, it's now in your room>
[05:54] CV: I'm gonna put this knife card in there.
[05:54] FM: <okay, so notice the code at the back of the card>
[05:55] CV: 55522882
[05:55] CV: Man what a boring code
[05:55] FM: <I honestly don't know what's up with this code system, but whatever>
[05:55] FM: <you just punch it in>
[05:56] CV: Ok
[05:56] CV: Alright I put in the code do I also put in the card
[05:57] FM: <do you have like an empty card or something>
[05:57] CV: An empty card?
[05:58] FM: <because I think Clem said something about restocking on empty card>
[05:58] FM: <cards* goddamnit>
[05:59] FM: <this thing punches holes in the cards>
[05:59] CV: Hang on let me check my Sylladex
[05:59] FM: <by the way>
[05:59] CV: I don't even remember how many items I can carry on this thing
[05:59] CV: yeah?
[05:59] FM: <does an empty card also have a code on its back>
[05:59] CV: uh
[06:00] FM: <because if it doesn't, we're in big fucking trouble because the game suddenly turns into a fucking inventory management hell> > Mark: Read the back of the card 8 zeroes. Huh. You guess you should've expected it. It's empty, after all. [06:01] CV: It's literally just 00000000
[06:01] FM: <what does that equal in the punch designix>
[06:03] CV: I don't know what you want me to do do I put a card inside a card
[06:04] CV: How much does a card weigh compared to everything else I got

[06:05] FM: <is>
[06:05] CV: Fuck where is it
[06:05] FM: <though technically, it SHOULD be the lightest>

[06:07] FM: <so now> > Mark: Read code It's literally a string of ones. [06:07] CV: It's literally 11111111
[06:07] FM: <punch it in> > Mark: Punch in the code Beep boop bop, this is boring. This is stupid, how did you even get roped into this? How did your MOM disappear? Maybe if you think hard enough it'll all be okay. > [S] Mark: Fantasize about an alternate universeYou think of an alternate universe where all of you went to the same boarding school, which just so happens to use the metric system because the imperial system is FUCKING STUPID. Your friends are really only what you remember from pics and descriptions of themselves. You'd rather not go into detail, but you know for a fact one of them played a part in discovering your sexuality. > Mark: Finish stupid romance exposition HUH WHAT YES YOU DEFINITELY WERE ONLY SPENDING TWO SECONDS PUNCHING IN THIS STRING OF ONES. [06:07] CV: Alright done
[06:08] FM: <so now I think we need to repeat the same process as that artifact>
[06:08] FM: <except now you use the card you've punched>
[06:08] CV: Neat
[06:08] CV: Why are we doing this again
[06:09] FM: <well basically>
[06:09] CV: I mean I'm going to the giant sewing machine so
[06:09] FM: <punching a card renders it unuseable for storage, so we need to refill our card supply somehow>
[06:09] CV: So if I get what you're saying right
[06:09] FM: <for the game to not turn into fucking annoying inventory management simulator 2016>
[06:10] FM: <so basically>
[06:10] CV: I can get basically unlimited cards now?
[06:10] FM: <yeah> > ==> POTENTIALLY INFINITE INVENTORY SPACE HYPE [06:10] CV: Yes.
[06:10] CV: Hell yes.
[06:10] CV: HELL. FUCKING. YES.
[06:10] CV: Wait it has to cost grist somehow, right?
[06:10] FM: <It's not much>
[06:10] FM: <It's 10 build and 5 shale>
[06:11] FM: <which is always good>
[06:11] CV: Make like three I wanna do other stuff with knives and my chemistry set > ==> [06:12] FM: <okay>
[06:12] CV: Maybe like an acid and alkaline knife
[06:12] FM: <...how does that even fucking work>
[06:12] CV: I dunno but it's probably more dangerous than a regular knife
[06:13] FM: <like a knife that corrodes enemies like some of your chemicals while staying intact or something>
[06:13] CV: Yeah
[06:13] CV: Hey now that I think about it I sent the code for some toy circuit maker to Shay maybe I should try making an electric knife
[06:14] FM: <so clem said that to combine items, we just need to punch one card twice or something>
[06:14] CV: I don't know how right that is but I guess I can punch my knife card again > Mark: Talk about dreams and shit Oh right, the dream of the golden city! [06:15] CV: Also I had a nap before this and I dreamt I was in a golden city or something
[06:15] FM: <...Interesting.>

[06:18] FM: <and play this sburb crp>
[06:18] CV: I just flew around and saw some really, REALLY white people. Like, chesspiece white.

[06:18] FM: <Interesting.>
[06:18] FM: <Have you seen any clouds, by the way>
[06:19] FM: <because in my dream, there was a cloud that showed me a vision of the floor and the flat number I'm currently in>
[06:20] FM: <like when I jumped roof to roof from this buioding>
[06:20] FM: <building* GODDAMNIT>

[06:21] CV: An asston of issues regarding blizzards and shit?
[06:21] FM: <NOPE>

[06:22] FM: <it crashed my computer into a fucking blue screen of death>
[06:22] CV: Oh
[06:22] FM: <and it refused to fucking launch ever again>
[06:23] CV: That's terrible
[06:23] FM: <not to mention there were some issues with everbody's favourite interdimensional fucking message service> > Mark: Oh right the card [06:23] CV: Also what do I do with this punched knife card I haven't actually punched it again

[06:26] FM: <you're pretty much out of luck with crafting unless you find one on the planet or something>
[06:26] FM: <also, when you were on the roof, I noticed some kind of black flashing ring above your house>
[06:26] CV: That doesn't sound good
[06:26] FM: <I guess you just hadn't looked up>
[06:27] CV: Wait let me check > Mark: Look outside and up of your window What the shit is that thing at the top of the sky. [/a] Top, top of the sky.Okay no you're not going there. [06:27] CV: Oh, it's visible from my window

[06:28] FM: <everything in this life so far is stupid and doesn't make sense>

You suddenly cut away to Anna before we get to see the action. > Slowly start to freak out as the realization settles in. You do so, and succeed. Your mom is gone! You thought she would be safe! Now she might be DEAD because of you. > Mourn Mom's disappearance and possible death. No! She has to be here somewhere, right? She has to be.... You can't deny it. She's gone, and you have no idea what happened to her. You hide your face, in case you start crying and Mark happens to be at his laptop to witness it all. : It's okay, Anna. Please don't cry! > Look who spoke. You turn around in bewilderment. It's...Cuddlessprite? Anna: Cuddles, you can talk?
Cuddlessprite: Yes. I have been able to since you fused me and the Amiibo with the Kernelsprite. But I've always been aware! Just...not able to move.
Anna: Really?
Cuddlessprite: Really. You gave me a personality and emotions by your love!
Anna: Awesome! Oh hey, since you're a sprite, what can you do?
Cuddlessprite: I have a few powers, and I'm supposed to be your guide, but, well, I'm not good at being vague. So I guess all I can do without giving everything away is to give you some pointers.
Anna: Oh. Hey, do you want to check this place out with me?
Cuddlessprite: Sure, why not. > Check out this place. As with your previous examination, there is a lot of ashes and soot. There is different plant life that managed to survive in this enviroment, including, funnily enough, trees that resemble ash trees. Something you didn't notice earlier were these lights around you. Aside from the stars in the sky, there also these stars that go as low as beyond the steep drop surrounding your house. > Try to interact with the stars. You attempt to touch a star that was about head level with you, but your hand simply passes through it. The star disappears for a moment before blinking back into view about ten seconds later. ====> Cuddlesprite: Anna, look out! > Look out. You turn to see a small creature coming towards to attack. Fortunately, you evade just in time! Unfortunately, this thing, which you are guessing is an imp, has some buddies. Looks like you have to STRIFE! > End on a cliffhanger again and be someone else. |

>Be Igor 20 minutes in the past You are now Igor. You have just finished clearing your house from IMPS, which seem to become more and more agressive over time. Now entire GROUPS of these foul creatures appear all at once in the very same room. This would be a total disaster... if not for the SHADOW BLADES you have managed to craft using a couple of knives, a strange "dark magic" book you have found on one of your shelves and a bunch of SPECTRAL GRIST the imps drop. These things cut through imps like a knife through butter - so the situation is manageable even if a LOT of enemies warp in at the same time. In the brief moment of silence, you decide to pester some of your internet friends. First priority - find out what's on the other side of the RING above your house which you assume to be a PORTAL. >Get Mark through the ring We have already seen this conversation. So, the ring is indeed a portal leading to one of the "NPC towns" on the planet(which are, at least on Mark's planet, apparently some weird alien frogs), and there are 6 more portals higher up. You decide to share this information with Shay and see if she has also discovered something new... >Pester Shay.

[07:12] FM: <which seems to lead to one of the NPC towns on the planet, from Mark's experience>
[07:12] AG: I can c*nf*rm that *t d*es.
[07:12] FM: <Did you go through the gate too?>
[07:12] AG: Yes, I d*d.

[07:16] AG: I*ve been gr*st hunt*ng s*nce the beg*nn*ng s* I just had my way bu*lt up.

[07:17] FM: <"gameplay", should I call it that... I'm about to pester Aria about the gate>

[07:21] FM: <I was about to say that>
[07:21] FM: <okay>
[07:21] FM: <That leaves Clem, Anna and Tory>
[07:21] AG: That leaves Clem, T*ry, and Anna.

Great. More goddamn imps in the house. Need to get through that portal gate ASAP. >Pester Aria.
[09:12] -- flamingMetalworks [FM] began pestering temporalConductor [TC] at 21:12 --
[09:12] FM: <Hi Aria>
[09:12] TC: Hello!
[09:13] FM: <So long story short, we have a shitload of grist and you will need to build up to that gate in the sky>
[09:13] TC: Oh, yeah, I assumed
[09:13] TC: How much time did you spend farming?
[09:13] FM: <I don't actually know>
[09:13] TC: Well, it seems like we have more than enough.
[09:13] FM: <like right fucking now is one of the few moments of slience I got>
[09:14] TC: I-I'm not sure how to make this very efficient, so you'll just have to kind to deal with loads of stairs.
[09:14] FM: <because these stupid teleporting enemies can just appear out of nowhere right behind you>
[09:14] FM: <it honestly doesn't matter how it looks>
[09:14] TC: Weird, they can teleport now?
[09:15] FM: <what matters is that I get to the gate, which I and Mark have determined leads to an NPC town on the planet>
[09:15] TC: Okay, that's really great!
[09:15] FM: <you've seen that fucking ghost insert itself into the fucking sprite, right>
[09:15] FM: <well now>
[09:15] FM: <I figured that the enemies have taken some of the ghost's properties>
[09:16] FM: <now I get some like... spectral grist>
[09:16] TC: The building's starting to shape up. This won't take very long, since I can just... copy paste the stuff over and over again.
[09:16] FM: <which by the way I managed to put to good use by crafting a couple of shadow blades>
[09:16] FM: <that will do>
[09:16] FM: <sorry fucking IMPS GODDMAN>
[09:17] TC: Shadow blades? How do those work?
[09:18] FM: <basically>
[09:19] FM: <they are like these badass blades that are charged with dark energy or something>
[09:19] TC: Oh, like stuff you'd find in RPGs. Okay, I got it.
[09:19] FM: <it doesn't fucking matter, they just don't care about how thick the enemy's skin is>
[09:19] TC: Honestly, I don't even know what's real anymore.
[09:19] FM: <me >
[09:19] FM: <fucking>
[09:19] FM: <neither>
[09:19] FM: <okay>
[09:20] TC: I used to think I was safe from the game, but something's weird in my house.
[09:20] FM: <I see the building is done>
[09:20] FM: <what>
[09:20] TC: I don't know what, exactly.
[09:20] TC: I just feel someone's here.
[09:20] TC: Someone else.
[09:20] FM: <I've had somebody invade my flat too>
[09:20] FM: <like they lured me outside and knocked me out>
[09:21] FM: <but they didn't take anything afterwards>
[09:21] FM: <I'm still alive>
[09:21] TC: Unless it's a game construct, it can't be the same person. They can't travel from there to here that fast.
[09:21] TC: And I don't think it's because of the game, because Mark and the others didn't have this.
[09:21] FM: <That's true>
[09:22] FM: <so>
[09:22] FM: <I'm going into the gate>
>Abscond through the portal
[09:22] TC: Nice.
[09:22] TC: Do you want me to still keep building up?
[09:22] FM: <this area is getting more and more fucking unpleasant with every second>
[09:22] FM: <yes>
[09:23] TC: There's some other portals up, but they're farther up than the first one.
[09:23] FM: <these enemies give like a LOT of grist>
[09:23] TC: Okay, I will, until you run out of grist.
[09:23] FM: <I know, there are like 6 more>
[09:23] FM: <okay so I'm in>
[09:23] TC: I'm not sure if there's a limit to how much I can build.
[09:23] TC: Upwards, I mean.
[09:23] FM: <I mean before the structure becomes too unstable and collapses>
[09:24] TC: That could happen, I suppose.
[09:24] FM: <or if it's made of fucking magical game material that doesn't collapse, you just build into fucking space>
You quickly run up the newly-constructed stairs and jump into the gate... Everything around you vanishes in the flash of light as you are teleported... You land on the grass in an open field. Once the disorientation and dizziness from the teleportation goes away, you look around to see blue transparent crystals of various sizes scattered around the field, growing seemingly out of the ground. There are a few large crystal pillars shooting upwards and disappearing in the mist...
[09:24] FM: <anyways, I've just jumped into the gate>
[09:25] FM: <so finally some fucking stable ground>
[09:25] FM: <the mist is less thick here>
[09:25] TC: I guess, I can build into the black void.
[09:25] TC: That's nice! I can't see you anymore, though...
[09:25] FM: <strange>
[09:26] FM: <I could see Mark after he went through his gate>
[09:27] FM: <I even deployed a bunch of alchemy stuff for him so he could just sell some of the item duplicates in the NPC village and get like fucking crazy income>
[09:28] TC: Nevermind, I can see you.
[09:28] TC: We really are breezing through this game. It feels weird.
[09:28] TC: Too easy.
[09:28] FM: <So I'm on some kind of plain with grass and some large crystal pillars around>
[09:28] TC: I can see that.
[09:28] FM: <there is also something in the distance...>
You notice something that looks like a part of a building next to one of the pillars. When you get closer, it turns out to be a main gate of the village. Strange humanoid creatures, also resembling snakes? frogs? notice you and come out to greet you.
[09:29] FM: <so that's the NPC village>
[09:29] FM: <and what the hell is THAT>
[09:29] FM: <so this is what the alien NPCs on my planet look like>
[09:29] FM: <it's like a hybrid of a snake, a frog and some other thing with blue crystals infused into it>
[09:30] TC: Okay.
[09:30] TC: That's... awkward
[09:30] FM: <it sure fuckign is>
[09:31] FM: <so, strangely enough>
[09:32] TC: Hm?
[09:32] FM: <they are talking in a language I CAN recognize>
[09:32] FM: <more precisely, English>
[09:32] TC: That's cool! I guess the game detects your language, then.
[09:32] FM: <probably BUT>
[09:32] FM: <I'm Russian>
[09:32] TC: Yeah, as soon as you said it was English that went down pretty fast.
[09:32] FM: <yeah>
[09:33] TC: Does it even really matter anymore? There's weirder stuff than that.
[09:33] FM: <You know... I just kinda accepted it since the last Prospit dream.>
[09:33] FM: <Shay told me that's how the golden dream world is called>
[09:34] TC: I see.
[09:34] FM: <basically... when your brain is constantly getting fucked from all sides by the incoming information it can't process, it just kinda accepts it>
[09:35] TC: That's pretty much what happens! I'm still just kind of worried, though.
[09:35] FM: <like... stops caring and just wants more and more of this strange kind of information>
[09:35] FM: <what are you worried about>
[09:35] TC: Because, you know, the apocalypse's happening but everything just sounds...
[09:35] TC: quiet.
[09:35] FM: <the crazy stalker in your house>
[09:35] TC: No, that's not just it.
[09:35] FM: <yeah, that's silence before the fucking storm>
[09:35] TC: That's part of the problem too, wherever they are.
[09:35] FM: <in my building>
[09:35] TC: But... I guess everyone just sort of died and there's nothing anymore.
[09:36] TC: IT was chaos for a while and now it's very peaceful.
[09:36] FM: <all of the doors are open and there is NOBODY inside>
[09:36] TC: I mean, everything's on fire, but it's just sort of creepy.
[09:36] FM: <it fucking id>
[09:36] FM: <you know, let me just tell you>
[09:36] FM: <the crazy stalker that knocked me out right before the entry>
[09:36] FM: <and supposedly left the sburb copies if not for the dream>
[09:37] FM: <he also opened the doors to every single one of the flats>
[09:37] FM: <and there was fucking NOBODY in ANY of them>
[09:37] TC: Hm?
[09:37] FM: <They couldn't have killed them, the flats seemed like they were empty from the start>
[09:38] FM: <from the VERY start>
[09:38] FM: <I think this is the same effect>
[09:38] TC: That's weird.
[09:38] FM: <let me just guess>
[09:38] TC: I know there were people back in the town, considering I did see people.
[09:38] TC: It just sounds like everyone's dead.
[09:38] TC: The house is empty, though.
[09:39] FM: <that's creepy>
[09:39] FM: <what if everybody IS>
[09:39] TC: I mean, I already knew everyone was going to die.
[09:39] TC: THose meteors are real.
[09:39] FM: <yeah>
[09:41] TC: I can hear the fire from here, though, so that's nice.
[09:41] TC: And I mean, not very nice at all.
[09:41] TC: But at least it's something.
[09:41] FM: <actually, that's really nice>
[09:41] TC: I guess.
[09:41] TC: I'd prefer the sound of wind, though.
[09:41] FM: <at least there is something to break the silence>
[09:41] TC: Yeah, like I said, it's... something.
[09:42] TC: Wait.
[09:42] TC: What the hell?
[09:42] TC: One of my figurines just disappeared.
[09:42] FM: <what just happened>
[09:42] FM: <figurines>
[09:42] FM: <?>
[09:42] TC: I have some, remember?
[09:42] FM: <oaky>
[09:42] TC: The one of the blue haired girl.
[09:42] TC: See, one second it was there.
[09:42] TC: And another, it wasn't.
[09:43] FM: <and that with every single one of the doors and the windows closed>
[09:43] FM: <I guess you are right about living in a fucking ghost town>
[09:43] TC: No, everything is as it is-
[09:43] TC: Wait, hold on.
[09:43] FM: <hang on>
[09:44] TC: It's weird.
[09:44] FM: <please don't tell me this stuff is giving you fucking hallucinations>
[09:44] TC: It's like someone entered my room. The door's open and my stuff isn't in the places it was back a few seconds ago.
[09:44] TC: But I didn't SEE anyone.
[09:44] FM: <do you have ANYTHING that could work as a security camera>
[09:44] FM: <any webcamera>
[09:45] TC: There's one in the entrance of my house and in the hallways, but not in my dorm.
[09:45] TC: Also, I'd need to get to my aunt's room to check them.
[09:45] FM: <okay>
[09:45] FM: <Honestly, I think she would immediately react if she noticed something wrong>
[09:45] FM: <on these cameras>
[09:46] FM: <anyways>
[09:46] TC: Actually, I haven't seen my aunt in a while.
[09:46] TC: She might have noticed something.
[09:46] FM: <okay>
[09:46] TC: I heard her a few minutes ago, so she should be... okay.
The aliens seem to be agitated by your arrival. And what's happening on Aria's side seems to be very concerning especially considering she is your server player.
[09:47] FM: <those aliens seem to be discussing something>
[09:47] TC: What are they talking about?
[09:47] FM: <they seem to view my arrival as some kind of special event>
[09:48] TC: That's nice!
[09:49] FM: <I've heard something along the lines of "the mage is here" and "we will finally be freed from our curse">
[09:50] FM: <"he will return the Light", too>
[09:50] FM: <they seem to view me as some kind of "hero and saviour">
[09:51] FM: <I guess I can serve as one, considering THE FUCKING IMPS ARE BACK>
[09:51] TC: That's... weird, but it's also nice.
[09:51] FM: <AND THIS IS THE CYCLOPE SHAY WAS TALKING ABOUT>
Your conversation was interrupted by a flying giant emerging from the mist. It seems to be even bigger than the ogres you have encountered so far, and it only has 1 eye... Before you know it, the cyclope grabs you with its giant hands! Before he tries to slam you into the ground, you stab its hands with both of your shadow blades, causing it to scream and loosen the grip, allowing you to get out! You then throw one of the blades into the cyclops' eye while using the other one to hold on as it tries to shake you off. The blade sticks in the giant eye, causing the monster to scream in pain and explode into tons of grist! The blade teleports into your hand shortly after you land on the ground. [09:52] FM: <...phew, he's finally fucking done for>[09:52] TC: That took a little while.[09:52] FM: <well first he fucking grabbed me>[09:53] FM: <I used my blades to get out and threw one of them into its big eye>[09:53] FM: <done>[09:53] FM: <and holy shit>[09:53] FM: <that's a LOT of grist>[09:53] TC: It dropped quite a decent amount of grist.[09:53] TC: Yep.[09:53] FM: <and also 50 "rubies">[09:54] FM: <so this is where you get the stuff to make laser weapons>[09:54] FM: <which by the way ARE a thing too>[09:55] FM: <okay>[09:55] TC: I'd expect anything to be a thing in this game.[09:55] FM: <yeah THAT ^^^>[09:56] FM: <anyways, they are talking about how I supposedly have to "bring light back to the crystals", which will supposedly rise the mist curtain from the whole planet>[09:57] TC: That sounds... interesting.[09:57] TC: So each player has a personal quest.[09:58] FM: <they are talking about some kind of... demon or whatever that casted this "curse of the mist" on the planet>[09:58] FM: <yeah>[09:58] TC: That's cool! I'd imagine it'd tie into the end of the game.[09:58] FM: <probably>[09:59] FM: <So I guess I'm supposed to just progress through the "game", gear up, then slay that demon, whatever that is>[09:59] FM: <and then either slaying the demon lifts the curse or I have to cast some kind of magic spell>[10:00] TC: The magical spell path seems more likely.[10:00] FM: <or whatever, I'm pretty much making shit up at this point>[10:00] FM: <that is probably the case though, especially considering these aliens are calling me "the mage">[10:02] TC: That means you're a wizard, which is cool![10:05] FM: <yeah, the only thing to figure out is how to fucking awaken my inner wizard powers or whatever, use mana or whatever that is called that fuels all this and also how the fuck do you even use it if you don't even have an idea what these powers are, what to fucking concentrate on or whatever, what chakras or energy centers or fucking astral auras to awaken, because obviously I CAN'T just shoot a bea[10:05] FM: m of magic energy out of my hand >[10:05] FM: <just because I want to, >[10:05] FM: <because that doesn't make fucking sense>[10:06] TC: Uh...[10:06] TC: Don't think about it too hard![10:06] FM: <sorry>[10:06] FM: <stuff like THIS happens in a world you can't just simply understand or even TRY to understand>[10:06] TC: I mean, remember, this is a game.[10:07] TC: If this didn't affect real life, you'd probably wouldn't be thinking about it too hard.[10:07] FM: <a game which we CAN'T exit>[10:07] FM: <which is IMPORTANT because EXACTLY what you just said>[10:07] TC: Are you sure about that? We haven't even won yet.[10:07] TC: If we win, maybe we'll be able to exit.[10:07] FM: <exactly>[10:08] FM: <this game affects real life, its worlds ARE part of real life>[10:08] FM: <if they weren't, we would just be able to "wake up" and press the power button whenever we wanted>[10:08] FM: <as is, this is reality>[10:08] FM: <it's NOT a "game">[10:09] FM: <It's just a construct in real life that resembles a game>[10:09] TC: I mean, still.[10:09] TC: Searching for reasons still kind of feel useless. It's just what the game wants you to do, I don't feel like there's much of a true meaning in it![10:10] FM: <If you think about it that way, it's pointless even in reality outside the "game", because a "true|, "absolute" meaning of life doesn't exist>[10:11] FM: <But if there is no meaning, then what to live for anymore?>[10:11] TC: No, I'm sure there is a meaning![10:11] TC: I just think it's kind of silly to keep searching for answers all your life.[10:11] FM: <Our conciousness just can't accept that kind of void, so it creates a meaning>[10:13] FM: <it's the very fucking reason I'm constantly angry>[10:13] TC: Yeah, that's kind of the whole point of religion and other stuff.[10:13] FM: <yes, that's true>[10:14] TC: I don't think you'd be able to enjoy life very well if all you did was want answers, though! There's more to it than that.[10:15] FM: <But... searching for answers is kind of my think>[10:15] FM: <thing*>[10:15] FM: <it IS actually one of the things that gives me meaning and direction>[10:15] TC: I know that! But it's kind of a bad thing.[10:16] TC: It seems all you pretty much do![10:16] TC: And it's okay to do it in moderation, but you really should do other stuff![10:16] TC: Remember when I told you to get into music? That's what I thought about![10:17] FM: <I mean... the desire for answers just flooded me when my brain was overdriven with information by this game>[10:17] FM: <I guess I SHOULD just enjoy and play guitar or something>[10:17] TC: If that's what you really like to do, then by all means don't stop![10:17] TC: But don't let it become unhealthy for you.[10:18] FM: <that's the spirit>[10:22] TC: Either way... you should probably get along to doing your quest![10:22] FM: <Yeah>[10:23] FM: <I just had a conversation with one of the elders of this village>[10:24] FM: <and he told me one of their legends>[10:24] FM: <A long time ago, something corrupted a powerful being they refer to as "the denizen">[10:25] FM: <who resides in the depths of the planet>[10:26] TC: That sounds like a final boss type of being.[10:26] TC: Knowing games, you'll probably end up fighting it,.[10:27] FM: <He was the one was filling the crystals with energy, providing light to the planet>[10:27] TC: Interesting![10:28] FM: <but when he was corrupted, he drained all of the energy back and retired into the deepest hollow of the planet, close to the cold core>[10:28] TC: SO nobody knows what corrupted the guy?[10:28] FM: <Nobody>[10:29] TC: That sucks.[10:29] FM: <I have asked the elder, and it isn't mentioned in the legend>[10:30] TC: I'm sure there's a answer somewhere![10:31] FM: <The crystals, which served as beacons in the thick mist, have lost the light>[10:31] FM: <"the denizen" he was talking about is probably some kind of boss I will need to defeat, yes>[10:32] TC: Sounds like it'll probably drop a ridiculous amount of grist.[10:32] FM: <Probably for creating "end-game" gear, that is to be expected>[10:34] TC: I mean, yeah [10:41] FM: <sorry for taking so long...>[10:41] TC: What happened?[10:41] FM: <I don't even know how to even describe it...>[10:41] FM: <This place... emanates tranquility.>[10:42] TC: Ah, alright![10:43] FM: <It's relaxing... and even a bit hypnotizing when you look around there, especially look at the crystal pillars>[10:44] FM: <Anyways, I'm going to explore this place a little bit, talk with some of the aliens...>[10:45] FM: <I'll message you when anything important happens.>[10:45] FM: <Anyways, see you...>[10:45] -- flamingMetalworks [FM] ceased pestering temporalConductor [TC] at 22:45 --...So, while Igor is exploring his planet, let's switch to somebody else! |

You are now Shay, who is about to go to sleep. You've already seen all the pesters you had before sleeping, so just scroll up if you want to see them. For now, you have to talk to Lily. That's the number one priority, as of this moment. You need to sort things out and find out what is truly going on here. And Lily is the one that can give you the answers you need. ==>You had found this small cave while you were talking with Igor. It's best to not be attacked while dreaming. You most certainly do not want to be interrupted. Not this time. This time is much too important. > Block entranceYou move outside, pulling out HEADSHOT. The sniper is no longer what it was before, but you're keeping the name, since a name isn't always relative to the specific object. Sometimes it's just the general one. And being changed doesn't change you're name. Well, at least, you consider it a change. ==>Looking up, you spot the unstable boulder you had seen earlier. It's quite large, you doubt even an ogre or any variation of the ogre can simply move it. It'll do perfectly. You shoot the ground below it, causing a slight collapse. The boulder begins to shift and fall. > Abscond to the caveYou jet towards the cave, sliding in like a boss just before he boulder crushes your head. The cave is pitch black now, but that hardly matters. It's time to sleep. It's time to dream. It's time to have some questions answered. > [S] SleepYou summon your sleeping bag from your modus. Sleeping on rock is cool and all, but you want to sleep well. Sleeping on rocks is not good for sleep. Sleeping in a sleeping bag that is basically a giant blanket is. You get into your sleeping bag, close your eyes, and quickly fall asleep. > DreamOpening your eyes, you see the purple jail cell. Nothing new, just the same old, same old. Lily isn't here yet, but she'll probably be here soon. That's how it works with the two of you. She's never really here when you get here. You used to assume that it was because she had other, real life things to do. Now though? You're not sure. ==>After waiting for a few minutes, she arrives. You take this time to get a better look at her, now that you're not confused and fully awake. She's still in her black hoodie, though you do notice something you hadn't before. She lacks legs, instead having a wispy ghosty thing coming out of the bottom of her torso. She's also a light, neon shade of green, instead of having usual colors. Except the hoodie, that is, which is black. > [S] InterrogateLily: heya shay~Shay: Hell*, L*ly.Lily: youve come to ask questions~ right~~Shay: C*rrect.Lily: ask away then~~
Lily: ill answer whatever i can~Shay: Why *s y*ur appearance the way *t *s?Lily: oh~ that~
Lily: well~ my past was quite eventful~
Lily: sadly~ i cant say more~Shay: Underst**d.
Shay: What*s the p**nt *f the game?Lily: spoilers~ sorry~Shay: ...Can y*u at least say h*w we w*n?Lily: just keep progressing as you are~~
Lily: everything will work out~ trust me~
Lily: ~Shay: .....Fraymotifs, what are they?Lily: finally~ something i can answer~
Lily: theyre just special combo attacks~
Lily: once you get one~ you can combo with the specific aspect~Shay: Aspects?Lily: all i can say is yours is mind~Shay: Yes, I remember you saying that.Lily: oh right~ i did s~Shay: What...what happens *f we l*se?Lily: you wont lose~ trust me~~Shay: Oh g*d.Lily: hm~~Shay: H*w d* we st*p them?!Lily: you~ what~~Shay: The..the..h*w d* we st*p the mete*rs?!Lily: the meteors~~Shay: YES!Lily: i can't~ oh no~
Lily: youre~
Lily: youre doing a mind thing~
Lily: right now~
Lily: arent you~~Shay: ...Where. Is. She?Lily: you cant fight her~~Shay: ...I can sure as hell try.
Shay: I am n*t tak*ng th*s.
Shay: I will n*t let my fate be dec*ded.
Shay: N*t l*ke y*u.
Shay: I*m end*ng th*s. N*w.
Shay: Bef*re any*ne gets hurt.Lily: shay~~Shay: N*. Th*s has g*ne *n l*ng en*ugh.
Shay: I*m tak*ng the queen.
Shay: Then I*ll m*ve in f*r checkmate.Lily: im sorry~ She disappears through a wall, leaving you alone. > ThinkYou...you didn't really understand up until now. How vital and important this game is. How people will be dying for you...no, you'll never let it progress that far. You're ending this. Before she gets to powerful. Before they take the king. Thank god for Lily's relatively simple mind. She was so simple to manipulate into thinking what he wanted her to think. Even if you don't like the answers you got. ==>You hear a creak, as your cell door opens. Turning to the entrance, you see a buff Dersite wielding an axe. Looks like they were planning on executing you. The game's afoot, and these cute Dersites are out for blood now. Or at least, everyone but the simple citizens. From what Lily thought, they're just idiots. Just pawns. You take another look at the executioner. You feel bad to be the one to inform him, but... There's been a change in plans. > Switch to someone in a less intense situation. |

>Switch to someone in a less intense situation. You are now ARIA ALISSON, which is currently pretty scared, but not in a intense situation. >Aria: Be pestered by a friend.
[12:12] -- flamingMetalworks [FM] began messaging temporalConductor [TC] at 12:12 --
[12:12] FM: <Hi Aria>
[12:12] TC: Hello!
[12:13] FM: <So long story short, we have a shitload of grist and you will need to build up to that gate in the sky>
[12:13] TC: Oh, yeah, I assumed
[12:13] TC: How much time did you spend farming?
[12:13] FM: <I don't actually know>
[12:13] TC: Well, it seems like we have more than enough.
[12:13] FM: <like right fucking now is one of the few moments of slience I got>
[12:14] TC: I-I'm not sure how to make this very efficient, so you'll just have to kind to deal with loads of stairs.
[12:14] FM: <because these stupid teleporting enemies can just appear out of nowhere right behind you>
[12:14] FM: <it honestly doesn't matter how it looks>
[12:14] TC: Weird, they can teleport now?
[12:15] FM: <what matters is that I get to the gate, which I and Mark have determined leads to an NPC town on the planet>
[12:15] TC: Okay, that's really great!
[12:15] FM: <you've seen that fucking ghost insert itself into the fucking sprite, right>
[12:15] FM: <well now>
[12:16] FM: <I figured that the enemies have taken some of the ghost's properties>
[12:16] FM: <now I get some like... spectral grist>
[12:16] TC: The building's starting to shape up. This won't take very long, since I can just... copy paste the stuff over and over again.
[12:16] FM: <which by the way I managed to put to good use by crafting a couple of shadow blades>
[12:16] FM: <that will do>
[12:16] FM: <sorry fucking IMPS GODDMAN>
[12:17] TC: Shadow blades? How do those work?
[12:18] FM: <basically>
[12:19] FM: <they are like these badass blades that are charged with dark energy or something>
[12:19] TC: Oh, like stuff you'd find in RPGs. Okay, I got it.
[12:19] FM: <it doesn't fucking matter, they just don't care about how thick the enemy's skin is>
[12:19] TC: Honestly, I don't even know what's real anymore.
[12:19] FM: <me >
[12:19] FM: <fucking>
[12:19] FM: <neither>
[12:19] FM: <okay>
[12:20] TC: I used to think I was safe from the game, but something's weird in my house.
[12:20] FM: <I see the building is done>
[12:20] TC: I don't know what, exactly.
[12:20] FM: <what>
[12:20] TC: I just feel someone's here.
[12:20] TC: Someone else.
[12:20] FM: <I've had somebody invade my flat too>
[12:20] FM: <like they lured me outside and knocked me out>
[12:21] FM: <but they didn't take anything afterwards>
[12:21] FM: <I'm still alive>
[12:21] TC: Unless it's a game construct, it can't be the same person. They can't travel from there to here that fast.
[12:21] TC: And I don't think it's because of the game, because Mark and the others didn't have this.
[12:21] FM: <That's true>
[12:22] FM: <so>
[12:22] FM: <I'm going into the gate>
[12:22] TC: Nice.
[12:22] TC: Do you want me to still keep building up?
[12:22] FM: <this area is getting more and more fucking unpleasant with every second>
[12:22] FM: <yes>
[12:23] TC: There's some other portals up, but they're farther up than the first one.
[12:23] TC: Okay, I will, until you run out of grist.
[12:23] FM: <these enemies give like a LOT of grist>
[12:23] FM: <I know, there are like 6 more>
[12:23] FM: <okay so I'm in>
[12:23] TC: I'm not sure if there's a limit to how much I can build.
[12:23] TC: Upwards, I mean.
[12:23] FM: <I mean before the structure becomes too unstable and collapses>
[12:24] TC: That could happen, I suppose.
[12:24] FM: <or if it's made of fucking magical game material that doesn't collapse, you just build into fucking space>
[12:24] FM: <anyways, I've just jumped into the gate>
[12:25] FM: <so finally some fucking stable ground>
[12:25] FM: <the mist is less thick here>
[12:25] TC: I guess, I can build into the black void.
[12:25] TC: That's nice! I can't see you anymore, though...
[12:25] FM: <strange>
[12:26] FM: <I could see Mark after he went through his gate>
[12:27] FM: <I even deployed a bunch of alchemy stuff for him so he could just sell some of the item duplicates in the NPC village and get like fucking crazy income>
[12:28] TC: Nevermind, I can see you.
[12:28] TC: We really are breezing through this game. It feels weird.
[12:28] TC: Too easy.
[12:28] FM: <So I'm on some kind of plain with grass and some large crystal pillars around>
[12:28] TC: I can see that.
[12:28] FM: <there is also something in the distance...>
[12:29] FM: <so that's the NPC village>
[12:29] FM: <and what the hell is THAT>
[12:29] FM: <so this is what the alien NPCs on my planet look like>
[12:30] FM: <it's like a hybrid of a snake, a frog and some other thing with blue crystals infused into it>
[12:30] TC: Okay.
[12:30] TC: That's... awkward
[12:30] FM: <it sure fuckign is>
[12:31] FM: <so, strangely enough>
[12:32] TC: Hm?
[12:32] FM: <they are talking in a language I CAN recognize>
[12:32] TC: That's cool! I guess the game detects your language, then.
[12:32] FM: <more precisely, English>
[12:32] FM: <probably BUT>
[12:32] FM: <I'm Russian>
[12:32] TC: Yeah, as soon as you said it was English that went down pretty fast.
[12:32] FM: <yeah>
[12:33] TC: Does it even really matter anymore? There's weirder stuff than that.
[12:33] FM: <You know... I just kinda accepted it since the last Prospit dream.>
[12:33] FM: <Shay told me that's how the golden dream world is called>
[12:34] TC: I see.
[12:34] FM: <basically... when your brain is constantly getting fucked from all sides by the incoming information it can't process, it just kinda accepts it>
[12:35] TC: That's pretty much what happens! I'm still just kind of worried, though.
[12:35] FM: <like... stops caring and just wants more and more of this strange kind of information>
[12:35] FM: <what are you worried about>
[12:35] TC: Because, you know, the apocalypse's happening but everything just sounds...
[12:35] TC: quiet.
[12:35] FM: <the crazy stalker in your house>
[12:35] TC: No, that's not just it.
[12:35] FM: <yeah, that's silence before the fucking storm>
[12:35] TC: That's part of the problem too, wherever they are.
[12:35] FM: <in my building>
[12:35] TC: But... I guess everyone just sort of died and there's nothing anymore.
[12:36] TC: IT was chaos for a while and now it's very peaceful.
[12:36] FM: <all of the doors are open and there is NOBODY inside>
[12:36] TC: I mean, everything's on fire, but it's just sort of creepy.
[12:36] FM: <it fucking id>
[12:36] FM: <you know, let me just tell you>
[12:36] FM: <the crazy stalker that knocked me out right before the entry>
[12:36] FM: <and supposedly left the sburb copies if not for the dream>
[12:37] FM: <he also opened the doors to every single one of the flats>
[12:37] FM: <and there was fucking NOBODY in ANY of them>
[12:37] TC: Hm?
[12:37] FM: <They couldn't have killed them, the flats seemed like they were empty from the start>
[12:38] FM: <from the VERY start>
[12:38] TC: That's weird.
[12:38] FM: <I think this is the same effect>
[12:38] FM: <let me just guess>
[12:38] TC: I know there were people back in the town, considering I did see people.
[12:38] TC: It just sounds like everyone's dead.
[12:38] TC: The house is empty, though.
[12:39] FM: <that's creepy>
[12:39] FM: <what if everybody IS>
[12:39] TC: I mean, I already knew everyone was going to die.
[12:39] TC: THose meteors are real.
[12:39] FM: <yeah>
[12:41] TC: I can hear the fire from here, though, so that's nice.
[12:41] TC: And I mean, not very nice at all.
[12:41] TC: But at least it's something.
[12:41] FM: <actually, that's really nice>
[12:41] TC: I guess.
[12:41] TC: I'd prefer the sound of wind, though.
[12:41] FM: <at least there is something to break the silence>
[12:41] TC: Yeah, like I said, it's... something.

It's just what the game wants you to do, I don't feel like there's much of a true meaning in it![01:10] FM: <If you think about it that way, it's pointless even in reality outside the "game", because a "true|, "absolute" meaning of life doesn't exist>[01:11] FM: <But if there is no meaning, then what to live for anymore?>[01:11] TC: No, I'm sure there is a meaning![01:11] TC: I just think it's kind of silly to keep searching for answers all your life.[01:11] FM: <Our conciousness just can't accept that kind of void, so it creates a meaning>[01:13] FM: <it's the very fucking reason I'm constantly angry>[01:13] TC: Yeah, that's kind of the whole point of religion and other stuff.[01:13] FM: <yes, that's true>[01:14] TC: I don't think you'd be able to enjoy life very well if all you did was want answers, though!

But it's kind of a bad thing.[01:16] TC: It seems all you pretty much do![01:16] TC: And it's okay to do it in moderation, but you really should do other stuff![01:16] TC: Remember when I told you to get into music? That's what I thought about![01:17] FM: <I mean... the desire for answers just flooded me when my brain was overdriven with information by this game>[01:17] FM: <I guess I SHOULD just enjoy and play guitar or something>[01:17] TC: If that's what you really like to do, then by all means don't stop![01:17] TC: But don't let it become unhealthy for you.[01:18] FM: <that's the spirit>[01:22] TC: Either way... you should probably get along to doing your quest![01:22] FM: <Yeah>[01:23] FM: <I just had a conversation with one of the elders of this village>[01:24] FM: <and he told me one of their legends>[01:24] FM: <A long time ago, something corrupted a powerful being they refer to as "the denizen">[01:25] FM: <who resides in the depths of the planet>[01:26] TC: That sounds like a final boss type of being.[01:26] TC: Knowing games, you'll probably end up fighting it,.[01:27] FM: <He was the one was filling the crystals with energy, providing light to the planet>[01:27] TC: Interesting![01:28] FM: <but when he was corrupted, he drained all of the energy back and retired into the deepest hollow of the planet, close to the cold core>[01:28] TC: SO nobody knows what corrupted the guy?[01:28] FM: <Nobody>[01:29] TC: That sucks.[01:29] FM: <I have asked the elder, and it isn't mentioned in the legend>[01:30] TC: I'm sure there's a answer somewhere![01:31] FM: <The crystals, which served as beacons in the thick mist, have lost the light>[01:31] FM: <"the denizen" he was talking about is probably some kind of boss I will need to defeat, yes>[01:32] TC: Sounds like it'll probably drop a ridiculous amount of grist.[01:32] FM: <Probably for creating "end-game" gear, that is to be expected>[01:34] TC: I mean, yeah [01:41] FM: <sorry for taking so long...>[01:41] TC: What happened?[01:41] FM: <I don't even know how to even describe it...>[01:41] FM: <This place... emanates tranquility.>[01:42] TC: Ah, alright![01:43] FM: <It's relaxing... and even a bit hypnotizing when you look around there, especially look at the crystal pillars>[01:44] FM: <Anyways, I'm going to explore this place a little bit, talk with some of the aliens...>[01:45] FM: <I'll message you when anything important happens.>[01:45] FM: <Anyways, see you...>[01:45] -- flamingMetalworks [FM] stopped messaging temporalConductor [TC] at 13:45 -->Be pestered by another friend!

[12:09] TC: Hello, Mark!
[12:10] CV: So like how's your stuff
[12:10] TC: Sorry if I take a bit long to reply; kind of busy building stuff for Igor!
[12:10] CV: Oh okay
[12:10] TC: Oh, I'm mostly fine, which is kind of a miracle!
[12:11] CV: You know about sprites right
[12:12] TC: Umm... you mean the ghost things?
[12:12] TC: That you can throw stuff in to transform them?
[12:12] CV: Evan got a crazy one
[12:13] CV: See after he threw a thing to get an eagle sprite
[12:13] CV: He decided to throw in a tarot card
[12:13] CV: Guess which tarot card
[12:13] TC: Oh.
[12:14] CV: Mother
[12:14] CV: Fucking
[12:14] CV: ZA WARUDO
[12:14] TC: So that's why Igor mentioned teleporting.
[12:14] CV: I don't think that was Evan's fault
[12:14] CV: I think he threw the tarot card in after entering the Medium and it probably didn't do anything
[12:15] CV: Because I threw my chair into the kernelsprite after entering the Medium and none of the enemies have chairs
[12:15] CV: But still
[12:15] TC: Oh, okay.
[12:15] CV: His sprite literally says 'muda' and also has machine gun fisticuffs
[12:16] TC: Yeah, I guess they don't change if you throw stuff in after you're in the game.
[12:16] CV: Should I just tell him it can probably stop time
[12:16] CV: Because I tried leading him on with forced time puns
[12:17] CV: I can't get over the fact that Evan basically has a Stand
[12:19] TC: You're obsessed with that anime, I'd imagine you wouldn't!
[12:19] CV: I mean I thought I was superior with my Larryonachairsprite
[12:19] CV: But fucking WARUDOSprite
[12:20] CV: Okay I actually didn't tell him about the time stopping because I believe it affects his heart
[12:20] TC: But doesn't everything stop, so it wouldn't really matter?
[12:21] CV: I don't want him to spam it and then collapse and die
[12:21] TC: Oh, yeah, but wouldn't the sprite be affected anyways?
[12:21] TC: And not him?
[12:21] TC: Considering the sprites are completely independent.
[12:23] CV: I dunno really
[12:23] TC: I'd say don't worry about it right now.
[12:23] TC: I have worse things to worry about.
[12:23] TC: There might be someone in my house.
[12:23] CV: Alright
[12:24] CV: Anyway I'm trying to gather boonbucks to buy myself a fraymotif
[12:26] CV: I don't know what they are but I'm gonna buy one to see what it is
[12:30] TC: Oh, okay!
[12:30] CV: Good luck on entering the Medium

You peek at someone you haven't seen in a while. You've been out the kitchen for a while now, having gone back to your computer in order to get your game on, literally enough. After a fair while, you've since connected to the person you, uh, server for? That's the proper terminology, you gather.
You've played around for a little while, but now you're just idling about. Most of all because your connection is pretty weak. You blame your sister this time. She does something in that room of hers that just keeps sapping all the signal, somehow. You don't question that much, really.
>Check inventory.
It's all the same, all full now, save for the spot the discs were at. The RED card has been occupied by... Pretzel M&M's? Hey, you like the crunchy stuff.
>Look at Pesterchum.
Not many on right now. They must be busy, or your signal isn't reaching out to the program. Well, if that were a possible thing, that is.
>Ponder life choices and slam your head on the desk.
Nah. You'd rather wait for the person you're partnering with to contact you, so you get your share of the game starting up. For now, though, you want to see if all the stuff about meteors is real and not something people are making up for... wait, it's nowhere near April Fools' Day!
>Head to the roof.
You get up and exit your room. The way to the roof isn't really that hard to get to. There's a ladder leading right up there down the hallway, after all. Uneventful climbing, really.
Once there, you gaze into the horizon. Dozens of buildings litter the landscape under the evening sky, which indicates you've been going on about your day for quite a while. A waste of time, really. It has since stopped raining, and the sky is finally clearing up, which means... wait, wasn't it morning last time you checked? What the hell?
That ain't the setting sun.

You are back to being Shay. You take a look at your executioner, cracking your knuckles. You know it's time to kick some Dersite butt. The only problem is he has a weapon, you don't, and by the looks of it he has strength on his side, given he's twice your size. You have wits and speed though, and that's all you need. > [S] STRIFEThe executioner calmly walks towards you, holding his axe with both hands. You take a deep breath, relax your body, and focus your mind. You temporarily close your eye's, in order to quickly zero in on his mind. Done. You open your eyes back up. He's right on top of you, preparing to attack. > ANTICIPATEHe swings his axe down at you, but you do a simple sidestep. The axe smashes into the ground. He tries to pull it out of the ground, but gives up after a few moments and turns towards Shay, cracking his knuckles. You suppose that's one advantage taken care of. > SHOW 'EM YOUR MOVES!You dash forward, driving your fist into the Dersite before he can react. He stumbles back a bit, but you feel that it's mostly because he didn't expect the strike. He does not look very happy with you. He charges at you, ready to swing. > DODGEYou easily dodge the strikes of his assault, dodging left and right to avoid his attacks. > ANALYZEYou continue to move evasively, but you begin noting his attack style and reactions. Basically, he's getting more aggressive and clumsy with his attacks. He moves to grab you with both his hands. > CHECKMATEYou jump, clearing his hands, then use his hands as a platform for another jump. This one you use to get over him. As you clear his body, you twist and kick, slamming your foot into the side of his head with all of your strength. He falls to the ground, unconscious. > FIND HERYou dash out the door, heading down the hallway. After a turn, you see another Dersite. This one feels...different from the other two you've met. He also harbors a strong dislike of the black queen, which is helpful. When he sees you, you tell him you're here to kill the queen. He stares at you, frowning, then tosses you a couple knives, as well as a phone. He tells you where the queen is. Not that you didn't already know from his thoughts. You voice your appreciation, telling him you'll make it up to him. He just tells you to go kill her already. > YOU WILL HAVE HER HEADYou nod to the helpful Dersite, then continue towards the queen. Before you can make much progress, your phone buzzes. You're being pestered. > IGNORE IT
You answer anyway. You don't need your friends worrying about you, and you would especially want any important information.

[11:06] AG: What have y*u learned ab*ut w*nn*ng and l*s*ng the game?
[11:07] AA: Losing the game... is based on multiple factors. Something about 'The Reckoning' and all players dying.
[11:07] AA: Those are but a few conditions of losing the game.
[11:07] AA: Winning the game? There's been no mention of that...so far.
[11:08] AG: G**d.
[11:08] AA: Although.
[11:08] AA: I have heard mentions of an entity named the Black Queen.
[11:08] AA: And there's where I come back at why I think I know what you are planning to do.
[11:09] AG: Hm.
[11:09] AG: Yes.
[11:09] AA: But this will remain confidential between the confines of this pester.
[11:10] AG: Thank y*u.
[11:10] AA: So you will not have to worry. I will tell no secrets.
[11:10] AA: If they even are that.
[11:10] AG: H*pefully, we sh*uldn*t have t* w*rry f*r much l*nger.
[11:10] AA: I do wish you the very best of luck. She might be a worthy opponent.
[11:11] AG: She *s def*n*tely.
[11:11] AG: She scares th*se that w*rk f*r her.
[11:11] AA: That is correct.
[11:11] AG: I f*und her.
[11:12] AG: G**dbye.

There. She. Is. Sitting on her throne all smug-like. She even has a small army of henchman between the two of you, as if...She's been expecting you. No backing out now though. You ready your blades. > [S] KILL THEM ALLAs you move towards the group of Dersites, you become a flurry of blades. Though you can't analyze each one specifically, you can at least set up a perimeter around you so you know what the ones around you are about to do. Using this knowledge, you easily dodge attacks and lethally strike each Dersite. When you finish with them, you turn to the queen. ==>She tells you its too early for you to fight her. You tell her you don't care. She laughs. She likes your guts, but says they won't save you now. She says she's going to kill you now. You say you're going to kill her. She smiles again, saying she's happy the stakes are apparent. She slides on her ring ==>She becomes a monstrosity. A mix of everything that has gone into the sprites, everything that the imps and monsters are. She is a monster, so it makes sense for her. She seems to grow more powerful with the ring, so you'll try to take it out as a priority. > [S] STRIFEShe teleports behind you, probably trying to end the fight early. You block her sword with your blade, turning back towards her. The sword is odd, made of a flowing, blue energy. You make note to watch out in case it does anything peculiar. The queen disappears. > ANTICIPATE!You can't find her mental signature. You look around nervously, waiting for her attack. Then it comes. From all sides, balls of blue energy, not unlike the sword, come flying at you. You dodge the first few, but quickly get overwhelmed by the attack, getting sent into a wall by one of the blasts. You fall to the ground. > GET UP!You struggle up, bearing your blades. You swing in front of you, catching the queen, who had just teleported there, off guard. You manage to get a decent scratch on her shoulder before she teleports away from you. She says she's done playing games. A wave of blue swords appear around her, all pointing towards you. > DODGE!You fail to dodge. A character select screen pops up. Not that you have much of a choice as to who to pick. |
