Though bewildered by exactly how you ended up back in your bed, all your thoughts wander back to that freakishly vivid dream. If you have that same dream and you end up in that same location, man will your dream self have the awakening of a lifetime.You glance by your side and spot a note. Good, a distraction.>Brant: Read note.The note is hastily scribbled- looks like the elf left it behind for you.Dearest Brant,
I wOuld like tO apOlOgize fOr my earlier actions, I did nOt mean at all tO knOck yOu uncOnsciOus with my hug. I beg fOr your fOrgiveness, and prOmise tO craft yOu a fine rObe as a tOken Of my apOlOgy. I hOpe this dOes nOt interfere with Our friendship. o0o"
AlsO, there's a package dOwnstairs fOr yOu- I received One as well, and accOrding my friend it's a matter Of great urgency. Please check it Out as sOOn as pOssible!
LOve, Ellisar oUo

>Brant: Pick up package.You find the package downstairs by the door. It's addressed to you, with the royal seal stamped on top. Funny. The trainers didn't mention anything about a package. You pick it up- not very heavy, and a small shake reveals that it's practically empty.>Brant: Open the box.You make short work of opening the package. Inside you find a medium-sized tome labelled, "MPyre: The Manual" and a small chip of some sort. Now, you didn't think that the Wardens would ever send you a manual to the game that was supposed to end in your death, but hey. You'll take any advantage you can get to stay alive.

>Brant: Read the manual.You flip to the first page. The paper is faded yellow, with a strange lime ink blotting out words here and there.Beginning the GameThe game is quite simple to start up. First take your game chip, which came prepackaged with your copy of M����, and insert it into your holowatch's H-drive. Select the M���� game and launch it. From there your holowatch will prompt you to choose whether your house is Small, Medium, or Large (please see Table 1.2 for exact sizes in zartoleagues). Select the one most appropriate for your building and your holowatch will begin scanning your environment. Please do not exit the perimeters of your selected area or turn off the holowatch.After the scanning is completed, your game will begin. Play strong, play smart, and most importantly, have fun!>Brant: Examine the chip.
You pick the game chip. This outdated thing is huge- at least, compared to modern chips. The holowatch in the diagram is at least 25 solareons old- your holowatch doesn't even have an H-drive since most apps are downloaded wirelessly nowadays. While some vintage lovers might be able to play this, you won't. What were the Game Wardens thinking? If you can't even play the game, you might as well have already lost.
(Author's Note: I will start retconning panels on the mirror. Basically, I'll be adding more panels and spreading out the words so it's a little less text heavy, but the actions that have happened so far will remain as they are. Cheers!)

Well, you're a master dwarven craftsman, right? Can you build a retrovintage style holowatch?
Do you have spare parts lying around?

(Author's note: The first set of retcons, moving Brant's interests up to after he is introduced. The mirror is here) >Brant: Figure out how to download it.You rack your head trying to find a way to download it, but you fail. Your blacksmithing does not extend to silicraft and circuitry- that's a gnomish specialty. You cannot craft a holowatch from scratch or even retrofit your own. You could ask the gnome player to make one, but he might as well be asking for the imperial throne while he's at it- why would he give you a fair chance at winning(and possibly killing him)? The only other way is to, by happenstance, find a functional vintage holowatch. Like that's going to happen. Who the hell would keep an old holowatch and maintain it so that it still works?You decide to sit down for a bit and mull over your choices, irritation rising at the rate of +0.02 per therasec. You should probably be someone else in the meantime.>Be someone with a functional vintage holowatch. You are now the orc. Of course he has a working unit of the older holowatch; how else would he have entered the Game?
He has decided that now would be an appropriate time to introduce himself. Out of common courtesy, though, he offers you the chance to guess his name. What is this young orc's name?
(reminder: orcs have only a 4 letter first name)

No it's not an acronym, it's actualy how i's spelled becaause orc names have an annoying tendency to sound like grunts and gasps to non orcs.
>So as the one possessor of a vntage holowatch and alrady int he game, may we enquire as if you are somehow responsible for the Dwarf house to have been telported in ?

I gotta say. I'm mad jealous. Green skin helps to pull off the Pink linen shirt very well. Dude has a good eye for fashion.
