bury the year · February 5, 2011

There’s time to burn, and you’re a chef. Burning things must be done properly. You scroll through your Pesterchum friend roster, hoping someone civil is online. Unfortunately, your options are IRONICALLY SLIM. You hesitatntly stare at your touchpad, and finally tap the name that belongs to the least insane of your compatriots. Maybe they can offer some insight into what to do. Or, they can ENTERTAIN YOU at minimum.

Well. You now remember why you don’t like Pesterchum, Trollian, or any of their digital ilk. You always sound like a COMPLETE AND UTTER DOUCHE WHO HAS NO CLUE WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT. However, the conversation brought to light a bit of information that you had not been privy to before. Apparently, in your mad rush to reprimand gumby!troll and to save your tech, you accidentally swapped the discs. Instead of opening the envelope marked “Player,” you chose the one labeled “Server.” Now, instead of getting the promised psychedelic light flashes, your screen displays the inside of your friend’s hive. Felixe’s, to be specific.

Curious about the new interface, you poke the screen, and watch as a cursor appears above and “THWOCKS” against the floor. This must be what being the “server” is. However, although you’re itching to start deploying some of that AWESOME-LOOKING MACHINERY available, you decide against it. Doing that kind of thing while Felixe isn’t around would be... violating. You portray yourself as BEING PRETTY CRASS, but even that’s a line you won’t cross. Off to Pesterchum, then~!

Leaning back against an upturned couch in the partially-destroyed pod, you sigh and wait for a response. Not much to do until then...

fenrir · February 5, 2011

You drop Sephra back onto the table.

"And just what do you think you're looking at??? Keep your cold, blueblood judgment to yourself. As if your own record is so spotless!"

You decide to do something about this insubordination. First thing you do is equip the blade of ATOM CUTTER. Second thing is to lob a broken pail that happens to be hidden under the table. You then lunge forward and you two roll back into the corridor, slamming the door shut.

> Rohter: Be the busy girl.

You are now the busy girl.

You have just returned from your expedition faaaaar into the desert around your Hive. Which is to say you got lost again. Your lusus had to lead you back here for a few days, yeah, you don't remember how you got that far either. Must of been those tombs. You find your hive flooded once again, but thankfully not your room in particular. Don't want that to get messed up. You guess it's good your room is on the second floor. Your room is a messy collection of shiny rocks you've found, the bones of the undead, a few ancient relics, and various other sub-interests you try to keep updated. You notice the two disks on the desk where your computer is. Ah, seems like your lusus brought them in for you, given the sand on them. You should probably get to playing that.

The things you do for your friends, the things you do.

> Lavias: PESTERCHUM.

Well you haven't been keeping touch with some of your friends, oh well, now's the time to do so.

===> Stare at the laptop screen blankly.

You stare at it, waiting for Ventus to troll you back. You know full well that it won't happen any time soon, but you still have this tiny bit of hope left that the game will suddenly get extremely hyper and load as fast as hell. You shake your head at the stupid thought and decide to go fishing again to make time pass by. You grab your fishing rod and Laptop in your right hand and walk outside. You walk outside and walk towards the shore, and stare ahead.

===> Drop items and stare ahead blankly.

No....no. No no no. It can't be. You're seeing things. You definitely just had too much Iced Tea. Yeah, that's it. You're just hallucinating. You know you can't believe that though. It's not a hallucination. You're Lusus...he was shot by your Armcanon.

===> Pet Lusus' Head

You slowly pet your Lusus' head. As much as you complained about him you always liked him. You get an angry look on your face as you glare at your Armcanon. Every since that stupid day your life has been a shitstorm of chaos. And now you just killed your Lusus. You start to tear up as you walk back inside with your laptop and fishing rod. You sit down on your captain's chair and place your face on your desk, awaiting Ventus' stupid message.

Snitch · February 6, 2011

> Sephra: Descend.

She did so. Her eyes slowly slithered open as she floated - no, flew - towards the roads below. The twisted, sky-climbing buildings and chaotic, bustling streets - everything was golden. She found it almost sickly, but the colour became more attractive the more she stared around, amazed. The buildings extended like fingers of a never-ending hand and she couldn't even see some of the undoubted further ones. Her feet touched the ground and she noticed her new attire, that of a matching colour to that around her. She found herself liking it.

And then a shadow rose above Prospit itself and-

> Sephra: OH MY GOD WAKE UP

The first thing she did after she woke up was notice her arm. The new, metallic casing was fancy, and she'd have liked to both thank and apologise to Rohter (and maybe even...noooo.) but he wasn't around. She glanced at his Pesterchum, and saw an open conversation with Ventus he had been having. After skimming through it, she had her destination.

She left his hive again. Sea air filled her lungs again and she squealed loudly as she leapt into the rushing waters, swimming towards Ventus' hive...

Or at least, the direction she hoped was Ventus' hive.

Shadow Zero · February 6, 2011

You work for over an hour on your project, neglecting certain precautions that you would usually take so as to ensure optimum safety protocols. You are far to busy and far to distracted to worry about such things as you continually work on your given task as fast as you are able to. After over an hour you are finally finished, and in your hand is a gray sphere the size of...well, larger thena baseball but considerably smaller then a dodgeball. You go to your room again and leave Rohter the following message.

[spoiler=DV/NF]

DV: I have completed my portion of our task and am ready for Sephra to arrive at any time.

DV: By the way, did you attach the arm once it was finished?

DV: If so, did you make sure that the wound was properly cleaned?

After finishing your message in which a couple of questions are posed, you check your laptop and notice that the downloading process for the server version of Sgrub has finally finished. You immediately deploy the cruxtruder, but hold onto it with your pointer directly behind Korona as you type the following message,

[spoiler=DV/PC]

DV: good morning Captain. This is your wake up cal.

at which point you promptly, and rather loudly, drop the Cruxtruder from several feet in the air, creating a loud and resounding BANG!

That should get her attention. Heheheheheh.

Ice. · February 7, 2011

Your busing crying into your table when that stupid nerd messages you. You didn't hear it trough your crying, however. Of course though, he just HAS to find a way to get your attention. You suddenly hear a loud bang and turn around to see one of those white things you put in Naksia's hive. You sigh and look up at your Laptop. The nerd was messaging you.

[spoiler=PC/DV]

PC: What did ye just do?

DV: Isn't it obvious, 'captain'? :P

PC: Don't joke with me rrright now.

PC: Just hurrry up with this, matey.

DV: What does it look like I

DV: am doing!'

DV: That thing is called a Cruxtruder.

DV: It is an essential piece of equipment.

PC: Well how the f*** would aye know?

DV: Oh, sorry. I had assumed that I was not the only one that did my research. :(

DV: So how did you like your 'wake up call'? >D

PC: It was fantastic.

PC: Can we just hurrry this up?

DV: Bluh bluh bluh, huge whining. >( Hold yourrr effing parrrots.

PC: Don't f***ing talk about my Lusus.

You start to get enraged at him. The jerk does not know what he's dealing with right now. You try to remain calm as you look at that odd white thing. You sigh as you turn back to the Laptop and continue your conversation.

[spoiler=PC/DV]

DV: Why not? It's neverrr been a touchy subject with ye beforrre. I thought that ye like ye Lusus?

PC: Just shut the f*** up beforrre aye kill ye.

PC: And this time aye won't miss.

DV: Load of musclebeast excrement. You won't kill me. Without me, you are dead.

DV: I just deployed the Totem Lathe and the Alchemiter, so get cracking.

PC: Aye mean it.

PC: And what am aye supposed to do with these?

DV: Bluh bluh, whatever.

DV: And you're supposed to open the cruxtruder.

DV: Hold on, I'll grab a large rock to drop on it.

DV: Oh crap.

DV: Um...sorry. I didn't know.

You sigh at him. As much as everybody hates him, he really isn't that bad. He's just a little...different. You decide to calm down and try to act a little more nice. It isn't his fault, after all. You decide to just avoid the topic completely, that way you won't get mad for a stupid reason. You've been kind of prone to that as of late. You turn back to your laptop and try to act more civil. Without him knowing, of course.

[spoiler=PC/DV]

PC: Don't talk about it.

DV: Okay. Anyway, grabbing that rock now.

PC: Now what?

DV: A Cruxite Dowel should have jumped up along with the Kernelsprite.

DV: Grab the Cruxite Dowel and Take it to teh totem lathe.

PC: ...

DV: Oh, and this as well.

PC: Aye'll presume ye mean that odd thing over thar?

DV: It should be cylindrical in shape.

DV: the color apparently depends though.

DV: Don't ask why, I never got it either.

PC: Yeah, that.

DV: And don't forget the card that I deployed.

PC: So aye take it overrr herrre and...

DV: You'll need that as well.

PC: Alrrright.

DV: Okay, now take them both over to teh totem lathe. It's the thing that doesn't have the large platform.

DV: Put the Cruxite Dowel and Pre-punched Card in their respective spots, and turn the machine on.

PC: Alrrright, aye did it.

DV: Now place the totem in its place at the Alchemiter and turn it on. Some sort of item should appear.

DV: What it is depends on the person though, so you're on your own for this part.

You grab the odd cylinder thing and that weird card and start to walk towards the machine he told you about. You put them in there respective parts and turn the machine on. It starts to do it's magic as you wonder what you'll get. Maybe you'll get a new Armcanon? Some awesome Scimitar? Maybe a loyal crew? You're excitement hits it's peak when the item starts to form. When it's finished, a lone piece of paper is on the floor. You pick it up and examine it. Your jaw falls open as you stare at the item with complete joy.

You just got a Treasure Map.

[spoiler=PC/DV]

PC: ...Aye got a map.

PC: AYE GOT A MAP!

DV: Awesome. It must obviously lead to some sw33t l00t!

DV: Go get that l00t Korona! :D

PC: Whateverrr.

You follow the map quickly, as time is probably running out by now. From your starting position, it tells you to go 10 paces north. You walk 10 steps up as you bump into your wall. You then must go 20 paces east. This leads you outside. The map then directs you to walk 2 paces north, 1 pace east, 1 pace west, and then 2 paces south. You follow the map happily, eagerly awaiting the treasure that you'll surely find. You then must go 20 paces west and 10 south. You do it again and you end up in a familiar looking place...right where you started. You sigh it off and start to dig there. You find a lone treasure chest. You pull it out and open it.

...This is the best day ever.

[spoiler=PC/DV]

PC: Aye got a Pirrrate Hat.

PC: AYE'VE SWORRRN AYE'D GET ONE AND AYE DID.

DV: Must be a captains pirate hat, right?

DV: Well, put it on!

PC: Aye like looking at it though.

PC: It's...amazing.

DV: PUT IT ON, THE THE METEOR IS CLOSING IN! D<

DV: Can you see it? CAUSE I f***ing CAN!!!

PC: ...

PC: Ohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuck.

PC: What do aye do!

DV: Put the hat on!

PC: What is this orrrb thing!

DV: oH s***!

DV: HOLD ON!

PC: What did ye do?

PC: Aye...uhh...

DV: You have to have at least one protoypoing of the kernel before entering the medium.

DV: It's extremely important.

PC: Aye'm putting it on now!

DV: Good.

[

] As you place it on the whole area starts to flash. When it's done, you look outside too see nothing but white. You stare outside at the snow falling from the sky and remain completely clueless as to what's going on. It's probably what happened to your Morail, Naksia. You shrug as you turn back to the Laptop.

[spoiler=PC/DV]

PC: ...What the hell is this?

DV: Must be your land.

DV: I suggest you explore it for now. I have some other things that I have to take care of on my end.

PC: Alrrright.

DV: Troll me once you're done exploring, okay?

-- demonicallyVacuous [DV] ceased trolling prodigiousCaptain [PC] at 6:40 --

PC: ...Thanks.

You start to blush a little at what you just did. You're really grateful for his help, but you just can't let him know it. Almost everybody hates him, and you certainly don't want to be the odd one out. You decide to explore your "land" a bit, whatever he meant by that. You turn around and start to walk outside, of course you captchalogue your Laptop. You sigh and look at the snow. You call it "beautiful". You laugh at the fact that you're talking to yourself right now when suddenly you hear a voice.

[spoiler=PC/Parrotsprite]

Parrotsprite: It's beautful!

PC: ...what?

Parrotsprite: It's beautiful!

PC: Oh, aye get it, ye be mocking what aye say.

Parrotsprite: Oh, aye get it, ye be mocking what aye say!

PC: Can ye stop?

Parrotsprite: Can ye stop?!

PC: Aye can't believe aye mourrrned over ye death.

Parrotsprite: Aye can't believe aye mourrrned over ye death!

Parrotsprite: Squark!

PC: Can ye do anything...productive?

Parrotsprite: I can do a lot of stuff.

Parrotsprite: Squark!

PC: Oh good, ye can talk. Do ye know ANYTHING about my situation?

Parrotsprite: You're in the Land of Snow and Solace, for one.

PC: The Land of Snow and Solace?

Parrotsprite: Aren't I supposed to be the one copying you?

PC: So...what am aye supposed to be doing?

Parrotsprite: Exploring, stupid.

PC: No need to act like a jerrrk.

You start to leave your house with Parrotsprite right behind you. You don't know what to expect in this odd land, but you hope it'll be something awesome.

fenrir · February 8, 2011

Instead of strifing however, you decide to talk with her. You explain that what you just did was not you being 'pathetic' or 'desperate'. You were just roleplaying. You haven't done it in a while, and you thought it would be fun. She accepts your excuse, and leaves your hive. Good, otherwise you would probably have to strife with her. That wouldn't be all that good of an idea, with her ridiculous bounce shots and what not.

Snitch · February 8, 2011

>Sephra: Be undermined by oceans.

Lost.

Very much so, Sephra thought, as she slowly swam her way back to Rohter's hive. She had no idea where to go at all, and as for her hive, she'd have to sendificate back like she had done all those times prior. She used her sendificator to get OUT of her hive, after all. Getting back was a similar story.

She pressed her hands on the sandy shores as she slipped out of water, gills flailing wildly. Slowly trailing up the sandy beach, leaving lines lines behind her in the sand as she dragged her feet, she slowly shifted up the beach. As she reached the walls of Rohter's hive, she laid her back against it, falling to a seated position on the floor, arms folded around her knees.

And she watched the moon above as her thoughts drifted into space.

[double entendres all the way across the sky]

fenrir · February 8, 2011

With Felixe gone, you turn your attention back to Sephra and the ore. Well, more importantly Sephra. You might be able to add a few more things... Except, she's not there when you enter the room. She must of taken the secret little tunnel under the room, which would have exited by the shore and onto the beach which means she's probably already...

SPLASH.

You fall into the trap door you were just examining.

You would probably sigh, roll your eyes, and float back to the top. Except you can't float, so you just flail your arms as you get carried by the strong current out to the shore.

---

Rohter washed up on the shore of the beach, rather tired of flailing his arms and cursing. He dragged himself to his hive, hopefully his lusus was still sleeping. However, he spots a few streaks of displaced sand as he crawls forward. Now what could that be... He spotted the huddled figure of the girl he helped moments before.

He paused before picking himself up and approaching her.

---

Okay so you don't really know what to say. You're standing in front of her, soaking wet, and otherwise looking like a dumbass.

"So uh... Hey?"

Amethyst Phoenix · February 9, 2011

> Felixe: Return to Hive

You ride McMeowMeow back up to your hive. You're glad all that crap is over. All that dramatic stuff with Rohter was really starting to get on your nerves. You hope all the issues are resolved and won't come up again later during a very intense moment, causing all sorts of mayhem. That would seriously blow.

Oh look, someone's been bothering you while you were stalking people.

This thing looks like it has much less potential for wanton devastation, but you still eye it with cautious suspicion. Instead of screwing about with all this nonsense and going through about 90 stupid gags, you decide to just pull up the manual. You don't have any tangible discs, but online downloads have their perks sometimes. In this case, Sgrub came with a custom manual explaining several game features.

> Hack your way to better Alchemy

Apparently there are tons of cool upgrades for the alchemizer. You don't have enough of this "grist" stuff to make them yet though. Hopping on your computer, you compile a code that, when executed in the Sgrub server window, will fully upgrade your alchemiter. Sure beats that tedious guess and check process you'd otherwise have to go through.

He gave his life to save yours. This is unbelievably sad. You mustn't cry while Arliss is watching. You mustn't cry. To show weakness to others is foolish. You can barely hold back your tears as you get back to your conversation with Arliss.

> Felixe: Enter

Well THAT certainly isn't f***ing splendid. Not indeed. There appears to be a a single blazing meteor rapidly descending right above your position. Moving doesn't seem to do anything. It just keeps adjusting it's position. You run in circles trying to shake it off but to no avail. It looks like this is the en- WAIT. The firework, of course! But...where is your lighter?

DAMN. It's out on the balcony. Maybe...if you aim this just right...

Reaching for your revolving sniper rifle, you fire a single shot, no time to plot the bounces with the scope. Off several statues, the floor, another statue, a conviently placed arch, off of the railing and......it just barely nicks the lighter, propelling it into the air and....it's not gonna land close enough. You're doomed......

MEOW

The familar noise echoes in your auricular clots as MEOWSprite dives after the lighter. There is silence...you really hope he can still fly.

And suddenly a roar erupts from the abyss. Your lusus soars up into the air, it's wings now ensconced in deep, blue flames. It breathes a string of fire in triumph. You look from your lusus to the firework. A plan is formulating in your head.

Tossing the firework as high as you can, you let out a whistle. MEOWSprite takes the signal, and spits out fiery hairball, lighting the fuse. The firework briefly starts to fall back, but then it ignites, rocketing towards the meteor. A direct hit!

White. And then everything went white.

The Warden · February 9, 2011

=> Nexxen: Get your butt in gear

That's enough moping about boy. I do say, that's enough moping. STOP moping for the love of crackers!

The strange voice is right Nexxen. You rise up and dust yourself off, wiping away stray dirt. Your Lusus will start to smell soon unless you preserve him, and those buzzards don't look to friendly neither. You captcha your hubtop and then grab your lusus by it's shoulder and with a tremendous heave, you lift him enough to drag him back to your hive.

It was difficult, but you've surpassed the jungle to your hive, thank god for the shockies on the wheels. You kick open the door as you drag your lusus into your hive, which bounces as the weight is shifted around. Thank god for your large coolroom, you could preserve a galactic musclebeast in there. You heave it into the coolroom, your breath condenses as his body is left there. You leave some comforting words to the body.

=> Nexxen: Troll Ventus

You dislike talking to him out of principle of his own twisted emotions, but he's the likeliest to know about SGRUB, so it's your only shot.

[spoiler=sH/dV]

sH: I need to know about SGRUB.

dV: Well first off, do you have a server player?

sH: Come again?

dV: A Server Player.

dV: How it works is there is a Server Player and a Client Player.

sH: I'm supposed to knoow what that is?

dV: *sighs* Okay, basically a server player helps the client player get into the medium, and is also responsbiel for building stuff that's needed from their end.

sH: I know nothing about this game.

sH: I spoke to Naksia, apparantly the game indulges in neromancy.

dV: The client player, once in the medium, gets to whatever their given task is, which for most client players is building a tower out of materials that are avilable to reach some portal that's way up high in the sky. I could be mistaken about that though, as I think it tends to vary depending on who you are or something.

dV: And Necromancy? Seriously?

dV: No, this game is actually more sciency then magicy from what I have seen.

sH: Naksia said her 'foxxy' who had been dead for some time came back as, umm, foxxysprite.

dV: Oh, that. Well, that's bound to happen if she prototyped her kernelsprite with her dead foxxy.

sH: ...

dV: Yeah, I don't really get it either. But the Kernel Sprite comes out with the first Cruxite Dowel you get from the Cruxtruder, along with this nice countdown clock on the Cruxtruder itself that says how much time you have left before you get smashed by a meteor.

dV: It has to be prototyped at least once before entering the medium.

sH: Now that is an issue.

dV: How so?

sH: I'm in a jungle at the moment

sH: My lusus died in my arms

sH: And now a meteor is headed for me

dV: Well, I didn't say...wait a second, are you saying that you can see one now?

sH: No, but esentially one WILL BE aimed for me

dV: Yeah, bsaically.

dV: Which is why if you plan on surviving, I suggest getting someone to be your server player.

sH: Is this a download?

dV: Well, don't you have the Sgrub game disks like everyone else? If so, just download the Client Version for your end get someone to download the server version on their end. Then once that is finished the conection is made, and then all you have to do is get into the medium.

sH: Disks?

sH: I haven't received any kind of mail for 3 cycles

sH: Not since my psionic powers generated

dV: Gee, maybe that's because you're always moving around? <_>

dV: And you didn't get them before then?

sH: This game seems pretty recent

dV: Huh.

dV: Well let's see...where are you in the jungle? Do you know?

sH: No

sH: The TPS system was never built

sH: Because the troll creating was accidentally brutally slaughtered

dV: How was being brutlly slaughtered accidental?

sH: It was a joke

dV: Ah.

sH: Something about privacy infringement. Can you send me a copy?

dV: If I at least knew where you were, I could try cloning the disks that I have and send you the copies through my sendificator. But I have to know where you are, that's the problem.I can'tjust picka random point and send them there hoping that you find them, that's not how this s*** works.

sH: Then I'll trust on a miracle for this one.

dV: Or you could always figure out where your current location is so that I could actually be of some help. But if you've made up your mind to wait for a miracle to happen, then whatever.

sH: Well, I have a dish with me, why not just try to lock onto that?

sH: Or more reasonably just aim for the only jungle on this planet perhaps?

dV: Yeah, and it's a big jungle, I'll remind you. Aiming for the dish I might be able to do if I modifiy my sendificator to specifically find it on a one time basis.

dV: So I'll try that.

dV: Should have said that you had a dish in the first place Nex.

sH: Isn't it implied that I'm chatting with you at this very moment?

dV: Yeah, and that doesn't always require dishes the size of one of our moons, but whatever.

sH: Trollian doesn't work by magic

dV: No s*** sherlock.

dV: Anyway, I am going to see if I can clone these disks now.

dV: I just ope there isn't some sort of anti-cloning death protocol in place.

sH: Go for it, right now I'm victim to waves of suffering I need to silence

dV: Good luck with that. I'll troll you when I know more about whether or not I can help.

sH: Go for it

Gog, it feels like a needle in your brain. Whatever's dying, let's finish it off.

Shadow Zero · February 10, 2011

You finish trolling Korona and helping her into the medium. You hope that this might help to get rid of some of the bad feelings from before. You know that you and she are both still sore about the past, but itwould be nice if you could both move beyond that. That, and you also want to get past the bad history you have between you and the other trolls you know.

Well speak of the devil. One of them just happens to be trolling you now, one by the name of Nexxen Tallat. He says that he needs information on Sgrub. Sure, you can help him. Why the f*** not?

>Troll Nexxen

You then proceed to have a lengthy conversation with Nexxen on Sgrub, answering questions that he has and providing him with information he needs. Damn, now that you think about it, it’s a good thing that you inadvertently hacked that server in Paradox Space. It really helped a lot.

>Hack the Sgrub game discs

You would, but you only have the client disk. That and you also don’t have the hacking skills needed for such a thing. Sure, you dabbled in it a bit, but you’re not really a good hacker, and you kind of stumbled upon the information that you have anyway.

>Troll Felixe

True, she is the hacking expert. However, she has you on block. It’s been like that for a while. Still, you figure you might as well try….

==è

You try and fail miserably. All that happens is a message shows up saying that your message was not delivered. Damn Felixe and her hating you! >_<

>Troll Korona

You decide to troll Korona and ask her to help you out. After all, you can’t really think of anything else to do except have your message relayed through someone else.

==è

[spoiler=chatlog]

DV: Hey, Korona.

PC: Oh, hey!

DV: Um, I kind of need you to do me a favor, if it's not to much to ask

PC: What is it that ye be needing?

DV: Well, I kind of need to do some hacking on Sgrub so that I can make a copy of the server and client disks. Problem is that I'm not at that level of hacking. Felixe is, but she has me on block because she really hates me and all that.

DV: Could you perhaps, talk to her for me?

PC: ...uhh, well.

PC: Ye see, she kind of hates me too.

DV: Well, she'll at least talk to you, right?

PC: Yeah, but she'd prrrobably not take anything aye'd say serrriously.

DV: Well, She might believe you if it involves someone else, i.e., someone she doesn't hate. Or does she hate everyone?

PC: She doesn't hate everrrybody, aye think.

DV: Well, does she or does she not hate Nexxen? Because I think that would go a long way right now.

PC: No, aye don't think she does.

PC: Aye'll trrry though.

DV: Cool. thanks.

DV: by the way.

DV: How's that cannon of yours doing?

PC: Don't talk about that.

DV: Easy Korona, I didn't mean anything personal by it.

DV: I was asking because I was thinking I could build you a better one.

DV: One that switches between being a hand and being a cannon.

PC: That would be...helpful, aye guess.

DV: I take it that means you're interested.

PC: Yeah, aye guess aye am, but aye don't need it.

DV: You don't need it, but you want it. And not just because it can give you your hand back.

PC: What's that supposed to mean?

DV: It means that the cannon I have in mind will make your current one look like a pea shooter in comparison. And trust me, you're going to need that, especially once Rohter gets into the medium.

PC: Again, aye am completely clueless.

DV: Well, here's the thing. My Lusus is dying, Nexxens is dead, and Naksia prototypes her kernel sprite with her Lusus, which also died.

DV: If things keep following the current trend, rohter is going to prototype his Kernel Sprite with his Lusus.

DV: *shudders* His Lusus was the only thing that kept me away from Rohters hive on several occasions. That thing is a f***ing MONSTER.

PC: And, ye point is?

DV: The things we prototype our Kernelsprites with prior to entering the medium is what gives the enemies we are to fight with their form,and their powers.

DV: So yeah, your going to want something that can kill a creature that has the capability of sending a good few terravolts through your body.

PC: ...

PC: Aye underrrstand what ye mean now.

DV: Good to know.

DV: by the way.

DV: what color would you like your new arm cannon to be in?

PC: Just keep it silverrr.

DV: Okay, if you're sure about that, then cool.

PC: Aye'm positive.

DV: Okay then.I'll get to that.

DV: Oh,and let me know Felixe's response once you get a chance to talk with her, okay?

PC: Alrrright then.

DV: Cool. Troll you some other time.

PC: Bye.

Well that was productive. Korona was in a lot more of a helpful mood then you thought she’d be. You thought that you would have to offer her some sw33t l00t in order to get her to help, but it turns out that she is nicer then you thought. Perhaps she isn’t such a bad troll after all. So you decide to make what you were planning on offering her as a gift. She is going to need it anyway, once Rohter prototypes his Lusus.

>Get to making that Arm Cannon

You go to make the Arm Cannon, walking down to the basement once more and rummaging around for the parts you need. It just so happens that you had started on the project at an earlier date, but like many other prototypes, you just weren’t able to find a way to make it so that it could work properly as a gantlet. But as an Arm Cannon, it will work perfectly. All you need to do is finish assembling it and give it a nice silver sheen. Without further ado, you get to work, hoping that it will be completed with enough time to do what you need to do in order to enter them Medium.

Amethyst Phoenix · February 12, 2011

> Felixe: Wake Up

You awaken to find yourself.....at your hive? At first glance it doesn't seem like anything has changed. You do appear to be on one of the maintenance platforms that extend beneath you hive. Taking in your surroundings, it quickly becomes apparent that you are not in your airspace anymore, nor are you above the ocean. You appear to be hovering over some of sort of city or communal hive cluster. The buildings are pitch black, but seem to be emitting light of various soft shades. What is this place? How did you get here? Oh right, the meteor thing. Hitting it with that pyrotechnic burst must have brought you here somehow?

One of the courtyard's local hubtops must have fallen down with you. Oh look someone is bothering you. You wonder who it could be....

Oh. Perfect, just what you needed. Her.

> Answer Korona

[spoiler=Chatlog]

[PC] Uhmm, hey Felixe...

[PC] Can aye...uhh...ask ye something?

[uR] Ugh. What the hell do you want?

[PC] Look, aye know ye hate me and aye underrrstand why. But can we act maturrre forrr at least one converrrsation?

[uR] YOU asking to have a mature conversation? This should be highly interesting.

[PC] Aye'm prrretty surrre ye starrrt 99% of ourrr arrrguments.

[uR] I deny those allegations. You instigate them, then flee the scene. At which point I have to wait to chastise your stupid ass until our next conversation.

[PC] Aye do not!

[PC] Aye always say, "Hey Felixe." and ye say "Oh, it's the Pirrrate" in some nasty way!

[PC] Orrr some varrriation of that.

[uR] This conversation was so mature.

[uR] I think every troll on alternia just got +20 mangrit from it.

[PC] See, herrre we go again.

[PC] We both starrrt the arrrguments.

[PC] But please, hearrr me out.

[uR] Fine.

[PC] And by hearrr me out aye mean wait forrr me to finish.

[PC] Because what aye'm going to say may cause ye to have some kind of seizurrre.

[uR] .......

[uR] *sigh* go ahead.

[PC] Thank ye.

[PC] Alrrright, so ye need to talk to Ventus.

[PC] In orrrderrr to save Nexxen.

[PC] And he sent me to tell ye.

unveilingRaven's [uR] hubtop has been thrown against the wall and shattered.

[PC] Dammit!

HOW DARE SHE MENTION HIM?!! YOU'LL NEVER TALK TO THAT WASTE OF FILIAL MATTER! NEVER! YOU ALSO KIND OF FORGOT YOU WERE HOLDING DOWN SHIFT DURING THIS INNER MONOLOGUE.

Oh well, that hubtop can probably be repaired. Besides, you have tons, plus that desktop in your main quarters.

> Take the Platform to the Upper Level

It's a good thing your hive was undamaged by that whole ordeal earlier. The platform rises up to meet the edge of the courtyard, putting you back where you started. Hmm. Where's MEOWsprite?

You'll have to search for him later you guess. He can surely handle himself with his new-found firepower. Ohgawdthatpunwashorribleyouareabadperson.

You retrieve another hubtop from a nearby pedestal. These things are pretty much spread all throughout your hive. It never hurts to be prepared. Plus it makes those annoying "You need to urgently hack something but you're far away from the computer room and need to dodge through obstacles to get there and then do the whole hacking part really fast for a dramatic last second finish" moments seem like much less of a hassle.

You suppose you should get back to Korona, in what is probably the most stunning display of masochism yet today.

> Troll Korona

[spoiler=chatlog]

[uR] Quit your god damn swearing.

[uR] I have like 70 of these f***ers.

[PC] Ye just said Fuckerrr!

[PC] What's so bad about Dammit?

[uR] Dammit is bad because f*** You.

[uR] f*** You is why.

[PC] This is what aye mean!

[PC] Ye can't stay maturrre forrr 5 minutes!

[uR] YOU MENTIONED THE UNMENTIONABLE YOU MORONIC TWAT

[uR] I WILL NOT DISCUSS THAT WORTHLESS SACK OF EXCRETORY WASTE WITH YOU OF ALL PEOPLE!

[PC] As aye said, ye can't be maturrre at all.

[PC] Not even to save somebody.

prodigiousCaptain [PC] raegquit from sheer fustration.

[uR] And if Nexxen needs my help...

[uR] Why doesn't he just contact me himself?

prodigiousCaptain [PC] came back after calming down.

[PC] Maybe because he can't?

[uR] Is that so?

[uR] And why not?

[PC] Aye don't know the whole storrry, but aye actually trrrust Ventus with this.

[uR] ......

[PC] And if ye can't swallow ye prrride to help a frrriend then...

[PC] Ye be one of the most pathetic people aye've everrr met.

[uR] If you're trusting that useless f***ing piece of garbage with saving him, then I might as well go buy him a memorial recuperacoon or some other sentimental and expensive monument.

[PC] Why do ye hate him again?

[uR] I'm not discussing that with you.

[uR] And I really don't want to wind up breaking another hubtop.

[PC] Whateverrr, but as aye said, ye be one of the most egocentrrric people everrr.

[PC] Swallow ye f***ing prrride forrr once!

[uR] Not really. You've pretty much caused the singular scenario to get such a response.

[PC] Fine, ye know what, be stupid.

[PC] Be stubborrrn.

[PC] Let a completely nice trrroll die.

[uR] And you're not stupid enough to bring that bastard up with me and expect me to be helpful.

[uR] So stop storming in an out of this chatlog like a melodramatic whore.

[uR] Because you obviously REALLY need my help.

[PC] Aye thought maybe ye'd be maturrre forrr once. Think of it like this.

[PC] Aye swallowed my prrride to talk to ye.

[PC] Ye, of all people.

[PC] Maybe ye can, oh, aye don't know, do the same?

[uR] And do what?

[PC] Talk to Ventus.

[PC] He's been trrrying to change.

[uR] That hoofbeast discharge is incapable of changing. And I highly doubt I'd ever desire to even THINK of him even if he was.

[uR] So unless you can excavate an intelligent plan from your think pan for once and figure out a way to circumvent communications between me and that prick.

[uR] Nexxen and his annoying little empath powers are going to perish in a horrible conflagration of anguish.

[PC] Ye know what, ye and ye shitty prrride can go kill yeself. Ye neverrr help anybody.

[PC] Naksia will enjoy this converrrsation quite a lot.

[PC] Maybe she'll see how much of a b**** ye arrr.

[uR] I do more then your feeble mind can comprehend.

[uR] Remember that cerulean torpedo heading right for your boathive about half a sweep ago?

[uR] Yeah, it's no gog damn accident it had a "malfunction" and hit that innocent looking "whaling barge" that was floating in the distance.

[uR] Instead of exploding all over you and your parrot.

[PC] Oh s***, ye saved me!

[PC] Aye can carrre less.

[PC] This has nothing to do with me.

[PC] Aye'm just the messenger.

[PC] Aye hope ye be prrroud.

prodigiousCaptain [PC] left in a fit of disappointment.

====>

Well THAT was a colossal waste of time. Luckily you aren't on a timer anymore, but it would appear Nexxen is. If Korona had gotten off her stupid high hoofbeast and explained what was going on instead of squawking the same useless, uninformative bullshit like her lusus always does, you could have helped. Seriously, how HIGH does that thing even have to BE?

You guess you'll just have to try and help Nexxen out yourself. Unfortunately, due to his nomadic habits, you don't have any pre-set coordinates for his hive. You suppose you'll do a sweep.

> Scan for Hive Profile

......

.......

..............Zero Matches.

Wait what? That's impossible. You decide to scan for other hives to see if it was just a malfunction. Nope. Nothing. That must mean....

You are no longer on Alternia.

> Be on Alternia

Felixe cannot be on Alternia because MEOWSprite is busy being on.....

Snitch · February 12, 2011

> Sephra: Engage.

Her eyes drifted from the moon to his form, and she couldn't help but smirk.

He was horn-to-toe drenched and she had to contain herself to avoid breaking into hysterical laughter. She opened her mouth to speak- but something hit her. Ashamed, she turned her head, recalling the moments they had shared less than an hour earlier. She let her fingers slip slowly through the sand, watching it fall from her delicate grasp. It reminded her of something she had seen once. What was it?

"Well," she said, after a few moments of awkward silence, "I suppose I should apologise."

fenrir · February 12, 2011

"Oh yeah, that..." Rohter scratched the back of his head again, and stepped forward to sit down next to her. "Uh yeah. That's cool and all. I'm used to it really. The last guy who did that fell in the furnace though, so it's a win-win." She smiled, "You're used to being randomly attacked by people who have gone insane?" Rohter chuckled. "Hey, we are trolls. Attempted assassination is nothing new to me." She shakes her head, unable to hide a smile. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let him get to me."

"Who is he anyways? Some annoying guy with annoying psychic powers?

"I can't... I can't say. If I do, he'll know where to find me."

He sighed, "Come on, you know a genius mechanic, an idiotically rich highblood, a murderous girl who kills for friends, a batshit insane ninja, and a genius sniper. Okay I could be a bit more descriptive, but you get the idea."

"If I say his name he'll know. And right now..." she paused, rubbing the back of her hand across her eye. "Right now we can't do anything." A few moments of silence pass. "Well... You know you have me if anything happens." She smiles, almost blushing but unnoticeably so."That's comforting, thanks a lot."

"Hah, yeah... So you were heading to Ventus right? I know how to uhm, get there..."

"I don't need to." She glances down at her new arm. "You did a good job, I'm sure it's fine without the covering..."

"Oh. Well if you want I can add some attachments or something..." He didn't seem to know what to say. "That is, if you're not going anywhere."

"Well, uhh..." she equally seems lost for words. "I can stay. I mean if you wouldn't mind," she says hurriedly.

He blushed slightly. "Uh, well yeah obviously I wouldn't mind it. " He kicked some sand. "I mean, eventually you'll have to go I think? Something with the game or whatever."

"Uhh, yeah. The game. Right."

"Yeah, sort of in the dark with that."

"Same here. I'm sure we'll figure it out."

They sat there for a few more moments before Rohter got up, bushing sand off of himself and trying to shake off the water. He wanted to say something, but it didn't seem the time or place to say it."

FN: And think about it, he STOMPS you on a mechanical level, stole the girl you were flushed for, and well probably be MUCH more important than you when we play Sgrub.

FN: 0]

DV: Heh, unlike you who has nobody, Face it, for al your talk, you're just an ugly unwanted mutant.

DV: >:]

DV: Isn't that right, Ka-ri-ne.

FN: I'm sorry? I can get a matesprite if I so PLEASE.

FN: Like that Arliss fellow. He's a totaly candidate. 0P

FN: You on the other hand? FREAK.

FN: No wonder Sephra ditched you for that landdweller.

DV: Hey, that's her choice. I was never one to interfere with how she felt about others anyway.

FN: Pffft don't GIVE me that!

FN: You're jealous.

FN: It's only normal. 0D

FN: I would be WORRIED if you weren't.

DV: Maybe a little, but at the same time, I have this WEIRD notion that if you actually care about someone, you don't try to make them stay.

DV: Weird to you, that is.

FN: If you care about someone you let them KNOW you do dumbass!

FN: Otherwise your feelings FLY over their shoulders.

DV: And you always think it is that easy. <_<

FN: Geeze you're bad. 0L

FN: Sure!

FN: Easiest thing EVER.

DV: Maybe to a cold blodded heartless b**** like you. I on the other hand, as do many others, find it a little...harder, to express feelings of that nature.

DV: I mean, we're only six solar sweeps old for craps sake.

FN: Heartless? PFFT, I'm just AGGRESSIVE.

FN: I know what I want. >0]

FN: If anything, I'M more normal than you.

DV: Says the freak of nature that if not for her mutation would be that which she culls. Honestly, sometimes your idiocy knows no limits.

FN: Oh and YOU'RE not a mutant? Don't give me that! You're arguably WORSE than me.

FN: A reject of the higher class.

FN: You're a mockery of your own CASTE.

FN: I, on the otherhand, am like a GOD to my caste.

FN: GRACED with being a seadweller. >0]

DV: And yet those who you dwell amongst all shun you and have you do the menial culling for them.

DV: Interesting how that works, is it not?

FN: Shun me? HAHA. They're scared of me.

FN: Which kind of sucks. 0C

DV: That's just your delusion talking again.

FN: But is perfectly acceptable.

FN: They're scared of me because I'm stronger. 0D

FN: Because I KILL.

DV: Yep, definitely your delusions again. I wonder if now is the time to put you out of your partially self imposed misery?

FN: You can't touch me, Ventus. 0]

FN: You can TRY.

FN: But you won't succeed.

DV: Oh if only y knew of the ways I have. But that matters not.

FN: Ventus, you HAVE no ways. 0D

DV: So tell me, are you going to take part in Sgrub, or are you going to sit there with your delusions and die a pointless death?

FN: You should stop pretending and see the light <3

FN: I already said I was silly.

FN: Learn to PAY attention. 0I

DV: funny, the way you are acting loudly speaks that you do not care and wish to stay here and die pointlessly while believing that nothing can happen to Sea Dwellers.

FN: Oh Ventus. 0]

FN: If only you SAW what I've seen.

DV: What, a bunch of underwater plants? You seen one you've seen them all.

FN: Everyone will die, yes, but we will be REBORN. Stronger than ever.

FN: That is when landdwellers will die.

FN: And seadwellers will thrive.

FN: I know what will happen. >0]

DV: Answer me this. without the land dwellers, what would happen?

FN: Or atleast most of it!!

FN: We'll have a perfect race <3

DV: Sea dwellers would be relegated for the tasks that only land dwellers had to do before, that's what will happen.

FN: And we will do said tasks with more dignity and honor that you could EVER have.

DV: Whatever you say fish face. Now if you'll excuse me, I am kind of busy here.

FN: Leaving so soon? <3

FN: Just understand this, dipshit.

FN: Keep in mind you will be the 3rd, or shall I say, 10TH wheel to our little group.

FN: You will never achieve anything. >0D

DV: Oh if only you knew what I know.

FN: We will all rise and become heroes.

DV: I have all of the plans.

FN: You on the other hand. >0]

DV: All of them.

FN: Whatever you say Ventus <3<3

FN: I'm looking forward to your death. 0D

Oh Ventus. He was stupid, maybe a bit too stupid. Okay, stupid wasn't the appropriate word, arrogant suits him better. You've seen a lot of things through your clouds, stuff you were never meant to see, or at least, see before HIM. In reality, you were never meant to be the first to awake. It was the job of another player, yet that player is fast asleep. You've thought about waking him up a few times, but that would be silly <3

You would see your group of 10 play a game. Some would fall a few times, while others would stand strong. There would be romance, fighting, even a bit of betrayal. And it would all be fun...

Of course, for you.

Nexev · February 12, 2011

Alchimizing time=>

You go make a whole bunch of sweet loot through all the minions you've been killing offscreen.

Fist thing first, you craft a iSlay 1B out of your iSweetfruit and katana. Computing and killing on the go, your favorite.

It takes allot of grist, just what you get for using a super sword you guess.

PLOT SHENANIGANS=>

Okay someone just popped out of nowhere.

She kinda looks like you, but she has a eyepatch, pegleg, and looks like a pirate. Oh and is like a few sweeps older.

Wait... she is you!

How incredibly silly!

*THUMP*

Oh... she is unconscious, too much booze you guess. Silly you!

Hey look, she has stuff.

Creepytech, pocket rummange=>

Oh s*** be like pedigree eve here. You got this sick dvd, some book, and a pretty picture.

Hm.. the picture says "To send to a******".

... Ventus? Nah, Ventus is universally regarded as Douche, you would know better then to change the title of someone willy nilly.

... Rohter then? Why him?

Oh this must be one of those silly "blueprints" that explains why it has a giant robot. On it.

Read book=>

OMG.

This is the best book you ever read.

How To Fail Less As A Sgrub Pirate by The Captain.

It has all this stuff on how to kill things, alchemy recipes, all sorts of crazy stuff.

This will be so handy. You should get it autographed later.

Speaking of which you should talk to him soon.

[HA] Hello you crazy murderer.

[HA] Sup.

[FN] Heeey Naksia

[FN] What the f*** is up?!

[HA] I just fell in my hive drunk.

[HA] I had all this neet stuff.

[FN] 0/

[FN] You're IN already?

[FN] Gosh you're fast!

[HA] It can be said that I...

[HA] NINJAD YOU.

[HA] XD

[FN] YEAH.

[FN] It could be said that I...

[FN] STABBED YOU VARIOUS TIMES WITH A NEEDLE AND THEN CAUSED YOUR BLOOD TO EXPLODE.

[FN] XD

[HA] Don't you mean... a log?

[HA] Subsitution thingey.

[FN] That's silly.

[HA] But bestest

[FN] You would just BE delaying it all. 0]

[HA] Funny you would think I would stall for time.

[FN] I know you do!

[FN] That's what makes you the...

[FN] BESTEST. 0D

[HA] XD

[FN] Unlike Ventus.

[FN] That loser needs all the time. 0O

[FN] All of it.

[FN] ALL OF IT!!

[HA] Oh yeah... I need to give Felixe this dvd.

[HA] Or video.

[HA] Bribing him, cause unfortunatly.

[HA] We need him in the session.

[HA] How else can we kill dragons.

[FN] That is a good point and now I feel stupid.

[HA] This is why I am the seer.

[FN] No fair. 0C

[HA] I keep an eye on the important things.

[FN] I wanted to be the Seer. D0

[FN] Soooo JEALOUS.

[HA] Looks like someone got....

[HA] NINJA'D

[HA] Don't worry you probbaly will get something cool

[HA] My power seems to just involve getting drunk so far.

[FN]: I would hope so. 0C

[FN] Didn't really get the chance to SEE anything involving me.

[HA] Well maybe it's because it is all dark and foggy under water?

[HA] Screw that noise the weird shell beast said in that Troll Disney feature.

[FN] HAHA! 0D

[FN] It's not dark in my dreams. 8D

[FN] Ugh, I'm so annoyed though. 0C

[HA] When worthless me wakes up, I'll make sure that she tells me what sort of awesome things you get to do.

[FN] Awesome 0D

[FN] So, how's YOUR shipping going?

[HA] I have a REAL good feeling about Sephra and Rohter.

[HA] Imagine the scandel! Red and Pink!

[HA] It would bug the burecrats soooo bad.

[FN] I always thought it was adorable. 0]

[HA] I know right?

[HA] Felixe and Ventus seem to be quite the blackroom too. I figure the only way to let Felixe help Ventus help Nexxen is with this little video I found on me.

[HA] Apperantly called Doomed Timelines: Best of stupid trolls deaths.

[HA] It's like that 1000 ways to cull show, but with Ventus.

[FN] 0O

[HA] Bestest bribe ever right?

[FN] That SOUNDS amazing.

[FN] Send me a copy. 0]

----[HA] sent BESTEST Bribe.Vid to [FN]---

[FN] Oh MAN.

[FN] This is going to give me ideas for work!

[FN] THANKS Naksia

[HA] Don't mention it.

[FN] Speaking of work, I think I have to GO. 0C

[HA] Busy, busy. Well have at it.

[FN] SEE yeah!

Really she is like one of the bestest trolls ever. Even with her blood, which normally entails death by your blade.

But you can't swim anyway so no worries about having to kill her!

Shadow Zero · February 12, 2011

>Finish making the Arm Cannon

You do so and take a look at your handiwork. Not bad, and it'll be able to fire blasts of energy and be charged to fire larger blasts. Good thing it was mostly completed and just needed a few things taken care of, otherwise this would have taken days to finish. WEEKS even. Well, with that done you figure you should head back to your room and get into contact with Szaras again. Speaking of getting into contact with people, you haven't spoken with Naksia in a long time. It's probably been what, one and a half Solar Sweeps since the two of you last spoke? Might as well try reaching her again, if only to reestablish some old ties or whatever. After all, she is probably going to be playing Sgrub as well.

>Troll Naksia

You open up your trollian from your I-Pod Touch again and bring Naksia up, sending her a message and waiting for her to respond, wondering to yourself how this conversation is going to go. You hope it won't be frustrating like some of the other conversations you've had with other trolls in the past.

Nexev · February 12, 2011

So now you are going to go bribe your potential girlfriend (you have allot of those don't you?) with a video of all the deaths a certain stupid person goes throu-

Andohshitspeakofthefuckingdevil

[spoiler=Trollog]

[HA] Hello, what is it?

[HA] Funny though.

[HA] I was just talking about you!

DV: Oh really? :/

[HA] With Karine.

DV: Oh...her. e_e I recently had a conversation with her as well.

DV: She was scathing towards me, as usual.

[HA] Haha, oh mine, scathing you said?

[HA] You mean to say you got burned.

DV: She seems to take pleasure in that, but if you must use those terms, then yes.

DV: She seems to have a thing for starting sick fires.

[HA] Those fires are so sick they should be culled.

DV: Is this your hatred for those higher on the Hermospectrum then you showing again?

[HA] What? No she is awesome.

Strider says

DV: Oh, I see. Twas a joke.

DV: I end up missing those a lot.

[HA] Silly missing thing person.

DV: Yeah yeah. Anyway, what have you been up to lately? It's been forever since we last talked.

[HA] Eh, I have just made this badass super blade.

[HA] That plays mp3

[HA] Oh and a drunk me popped out of nowhere.

DV: Okay, so being that you suddenly have something that you 'made' and there's a drunk version of yourself, I am going to guess that you have started playing Sgrub and Alchemized a few things, and are possibly in the medium right now?

[HA] Yep. I'm like the first in.

[HA] That makes me the leader.

[HA] XD

DV: well, that doesn't necessarily make you the leader. It just means that you're the first one in.

Nexev Frohawk says

[HA] Sure it does.

[HA] Sure

DV: No it doesn't. There are plenty of recorded sessions where the leader was not the first one in.

DV: Would you like to see a few examples?

[HA] Psssh, there hasn't been any games in our univese besides this one.

[HA] Bluffing is bad.

DV: I'm not bluffing. I actually managed to accidentally hack into something called Paradox Space, or a server there I think, and came across a bunch of records from past sessions.

[HA] I actually managed to talk to my sprite. And he says Paradox Space is everything.

[HA] Whats that sound.

[HA] It's your arguement.

[HA] Slipping... away

DV: Actually, no, it's the sound of YOURS slipping away.

[DV sends gamefile.txt to HA]

DV: That is just one such example.

DV: In that one, the leader was the last person in.

[HA] Uh huh, and how did you manage to hack everything in existance.

[HA] Which is your claim?

[HA] I am better with you.

DV: I corrected myself by saying that it was a server. Also, it was purely by accident.

[HA] And I barely know anything about computers.

[HA] You can't hack accidentally.

DV: I was actually trying to hack Rohter at the time. Needless to say I failed miserably.

[HA] And Rohter's security system directs you to the origin story for universes?

[HA] Yeah like Rohter is that stupid.

DV: Also, the hacking wasn't an accident. It was a mistake in how I typed.

DV: And since whe that I said it directed me to the origin of the universe?

DV: Did I mention that none of the game files ar complete?

[HA] "Oh you want to hack me? Derr how about having DOCUMENTS SHAKING THE CORE OF ACCEPTED SCIENCE?:

[HA] People always stumble on that stuff.

[HA] Why just this morning I opened my fridge and found out that our entire universe was a frog.

[HA] Named Chez William

DV: Interesting joke you have there.

DV: I didn't say that I understood everything you know. And also, the universe being a frog is something that I find highly laughable.

[HA] Sure it is.

DV: Anyway, case in point is that I somehow discovered these incomplete gaming documents, which allows me at least SOME knowledge of Sgrub.

DV: There's a lot that I still don't understand.

[HA] Miraculosly it is infinitly more plausible then accidently hacking a server containing data of multiple sessions.

[HA] That would implicate mass recording and sharing accross many games that just so HAPPENS to end up in the exact same place?

DV: I told you, I mistyped when I was trying to hack Rohter.

[HA] And that some highblood can find it by accident?

And if paradox space is everything, then that means that the server is in everything.

[HA] Indicating absolutely zero security.

[HA] It means the server IS everything.

DV: Are you trying to tell me that we all live inside of cyberspace which is located in one giant supercomputer

[HA] That is what you are saying.

[HA] I am saying you are full of s***.

DV: No, I am saying that who the leader is depends on the session.

[HA] Pardon my languege but I am sorry it's just the truth.

DV: and you are full of hornlessness. MOVING ON!

[HA] ....

[HA] Hey, ever got to see a troll impaled by his own claws?

[HA] I did.

[HA] How about streached his neck so you can suffocate his head in his ass.

[HA] Since the certain highblood had his head there anyway.

[HA] We saw it.

[HA] You wanna see?

---HA sent BESTEST BRIBE to DV---

Those trolls all seem to bear a striking resemblence to me.

[HA] They are you.

[HA] Doomed sessions.

[HA] My future me had it.

DV: Gee, I wonder how many of those sessions became doomed because of your future self.

[HA] Gee I wonder if this one isn't doomed because of my present self.

[HA] Who is going to head over to your hive when you entire the medium.

[HA] Besides... given from the contents of the dvd I have to save your ass like 42 times.

DV: The me in those sessions must have not been as smart as the me in this timeline. Also, I apologize for the horn crack, but you were seriously starting to get on my nerves with your claims of 'oh it's fake', and 'oh you can't accidentally do such and so'. It happened whether you choose to believe it or not, so deal with it.

DV: Anyway, what have you accomplished thus far in the medium?

[HA] I think anyone can actually be DUMBER then you in this timeline.

[HA] And I have simply slaughtered everything around here besides my fox.

DV: Sounds cool. Must have gotten yourself plenty of Grist then.

[HA] Obviously.

DV: Well. I hope you're looking forward to a challenge, because I am going to prototype my Lusus same as you guys, so be ready for that.

[HA] Your the one who always dies.

[HA] Just cause I have to keep sacrificing myself for your fuckups doesn't mean I am not able to handle your wimpy dragon.

DV: You've never had to face my Lusus. I've had to face it no fewer then what...five hundred times at least? And it went easy on me each time, I could tell.

DV: So I doubt that it is wimpy.Quite the opposite, actually.

[HA] Uh huh sure, I am so unprepared.

[HA] That is why this perfectly breathing me is standing at my feet.

[HA] Clearly dead people age a few years and get revived so they can faint on your feet.

[HA] I have killed dragons before.

[HA] AND there partners.

DV: Oh really?

[HA] It is hard finding Indigo bloods in need of knowing there place.

[HA] But I strike lucky often enough.

DV: Their Dragons must have been pretty tame then.

DV: Anyway, I have to go now. Need to get into the medium and that.

DV: Troll you some other time.

[HA] Try not to bleed to quickly.

Ugh, that was stupid.

You should go pester Felixe now.

Shadow Zero · February 13, 2011

That...was so annoying. Now you remember why you hadn't talked to Naksia recently. She was even MORE annoying then that the last time you had talked with her. Ah well, might as well go insid your room and do something constructive, being that you reached it while you were talking to Naksia.

>Send the Arm Cannon to Korona

You would, except that you can't seem to locate her, being that she is now in the medium. Wait...if you can't locate her in the medium to send something to her, how can you get anything from someone who is already in the medium?

>start flipping the f*** out

No. You will not flip the f*** out. You are however quite distressed at this most recent complication. You can only hope that Felixe will have an answer to that problem once she has made the copies of Sgrub for Nexxen. That is, if she even DOES.

>Start getting to work on entering the medium

That sounds like a very viable and sensible thing to do. Leaving your room, you head once more to the living room where your Lusus is. It is currently having trouble breathing, and you are immediately overcome with much concern for him. You walk up to your Lusus and place a hand on its rather large snout and it blearily turnsa glazed eye over to you. He speaks to your mind, telling you that it is time, and that he is about to breath his last. You are overcome with emotion, knowing that tough though times frequently were between the two of you, you are still going to miss your Lusus. However, there is still one more thing that you need your Lusus to do for you, the last thing you will be able to ask of it.

>Ask your Lusus to pound on the lid of the cruxtruder

Your Lusus turns an eye over to the thing next to it and is about to ask why when he decides against it. He doesn't have the time to think about it,only to do it. So with a mighty effort, your Lusus goes to your room where it is, raises its foreleg and smashes it onto the lid of the Cruxtruder. It pops off and the flashing purple Kernel Sprite pops out along with a purple Cruxite Dowel. Your Lusus breaths its last and collapses onto the ground, leaving you all alone, the only thing in your hive that's alive.

>No time to mourn, get cracking on your ordeal!

You go to your room and grab the Cruxite Dowel along with the card on the Cruxtruder and return to the living room. You quickly put the Cruxite dowel and the pre-punched card into their pre-assigned spots and set the totem lathe to work. It carves the Cruxite Dowel into a Cruxite Totem. You then take that and put it into the pre-assigned spot on the Alchemiter and activate it. Aaaand what you get iiiis...

>Pick up the egg

Seriously? A Purple egg? Not only that, but its' not even a proper egg, its just shaped like one.It's really some complicated technological crap that you apparently have to deal with.

Seriously? What the f*** dude?

Ice. · February 13, 2011

> Korona: Take a sigh of relief.

Oh good, Naksia has it covered. Thank gog. There's no way this can go wrong. You sit down for a few minutes and relax. You pretty much did the impossible, and found a way to make Felixe talk to Ventus. You are a genius and should be rewarded. Of course there is that problem with those stupid Imps that keep bothering you and the fact that you have to build Naksia's house. You sigh again and head for the laptop and get ready to tell Ventus. He's lucky to have somebody as awesome and genius as you to help him.

>Troll Ventus.

[spoiler=chatlog]

-- prodigiousCaptain [PC] began pestering demonicallyVacuous [DV] at 8:40 --

PC: Hey.

DV: Oh, hey Korona.

PC: Bad news.

DV: Felixe refuses to cooperate?

DV: *sighs* Great. What am I supposed to tell Nexxen then?

PC: She said, and aye quote "Nexxen and his annoying little empath powerrrs can perrrish"

PC: Orrr something along those lines.

DV: .......

DV: Please excuseme while I raeg abit.

DV: *stoms of in a fit of rage*

PC: Buuuuuuut.

PC: Aye have some sourrrce of hope.

DV: *returns after letting loose many obscenities and destroying several walls*

DV: Hmm? And what might that be?

PC: Aye got Naksia to trrry and convince herrr to talk to ye.

DV: Oh gog.

DV: I just finished talking to Naksia.

DV: The conversation didn't go so well.

DV: It reached the point where I accused her of hornlessness out of sheer irritation.

DV: Crap, I guess this mean that the s*** has officially hit the whirling device.

PC: ARRR YE STUPID?

DV: No, just irritated beyond belief right now.

PC: NO, YE BE RRREALLY STUPID.

DV: If I knew that you were going to ask her to talk to Felixe, I would have kept what I said in check.

PC: YE INSULTED HERRR HORRRN STATUS.

DV: And please stop yelling.

PC: AYE GO THRRROUGH ALL THIS CRRRAP, FIND A SOLUTION, AND YOU PRRRETTY MUCH BLEW IT.

DV: Yes, yes, I get it, I did something stupid, now please stop your yelling.

PC: AYE STOOD UP FORRR YE AND ACTUALLY BELIEVED YE CAN DO SOMETHING RRRIGHT.

PC: SCRRREW YE.

PC: prodigiousCaptain [PC] left screaming.

That stupid, useless piece of Musclebeast waste! He ruins anything he does, anything he touches. You hope that f***er dies in a horrible, painful fight before you can get too him. You talked to that b**** for him, and he expected this to happen, yet he still acts stupid! Maybe if he was even a little intelligent he would know that even if Naksia had nothing to do with this she would still kill him. You know what, you should probably tell her to kill him now. And record it. That way, you can watch a beautiful recording of that a****** getting murdered over and over and over again until you get bored of it. You so pissed right now you can probably make something explode by looking at it. Thank gog nobody is here to piss you off even further.

Suddenly, a noise alerts you. You turn around only too see a lone imp trying to get a sneak attack on him.

>Kick his ass:

You grab the foxbird hybrid mutant crap by it's neck and hold it up in front of you. You hold your armcanon in front of his face and charge your shot.

>Imp: Oh no:

Oh god no. Oh god. Please no. Pleaaaaase no.

A lone tear falls off of your face as a huge beam of energy engulfs your head.

Shadow Zero · February 13, 2011

>Feel like a complete and total idiot

You feel worse then that. You feel like the biggest a****** that it was Alternias misfortune to be shat upon. You walk over to the nearest wall and bash your head against it several times, looking slightly reminiscent of Manfred Von Karma, if you knew who the f*** that was or what his purpose for existing was. After repeated headbashing for about a minute or so, you dissily stumble away from the wall and fall ass first on the floor.

>become consumed by pain

Your head is one giant mound of hurt right now. It's pounding something fierce, and you think you might have caused a bit of brain damage.That's okay though, perhaps it would have helped to knock some sense into you. You pick up your I-Pod touch, thinking that you might as well try to apologize to Korona and Naksia for once again being a major a****** when you see someone pestering you. Oh gog, who is it NOW?!?

==> Nexxen: Search

The needles are driving deeper, you're getting close. Just around the tree to see...oh god, just, oh god.

It's a Mother Grub near death. You've never seen one above ground like, is this a virgin one? You creep closer, staring into her deep eyes. The lips grimace, you know what you must do, you can feel it. Go god it hurts. Unsheathing the Hexacalibrater, you decapitate her with a swift slash. Beautiful jade blood platters everywhere and gushes out of her neck stump. You trasps along the side of her and cut into it. Digging through guts and entrails you remove a strange orb, it is gray and covered with many horns. You put the Matriorb away into your Sylladex.

==> Nexxen: Mourn

This has been a pretty bad day, from what you gather, two dead lusi, both by your own hands. Wow, you're a monster aren't you?

==> Nexxen: Return

You decide to head back to your hive to clean up. There is a lovely fresh towel in cupboard, you use it to whip the bloodstains off. Pity about your shirt, but a few stains never killed anyone.

> Felixe: Fondly Regard the Abyss

Those lights are so eerily appealing. It's like a gigantic sky full of ever shining pyrotechnic bursts. It's so beautiful....

.....and you're being bothered again. Hopefully it's not that pirate b**** again.

> Answer Naksia

This is a fantastic turn of events. It's one of the people you actually derive genuine pleasure from talking to.

[spoiler=Chatlog] [HA] Felixe!

[uR] Hello Naksia.

[HA] You need to do whatever Korona told you to do so we can go get everyone in and kill dragon/cat/fox/everything minions.

[uR] I'm currently working on saving Nexxen by myself. These computers are having trouble getting a bead on him though.

[uR] Wait. Why can I pick you up?

[uR] Are you in the place with the skyscrapers and the darkness and the imps?

[HA] Land of Wine and Ink.

[HA] Anyway need to know, can you accidentally hack the entire universe and all universes around it by misspelling something?

[HA] And finding a set of logs detailing sessions from other universes?

[uR] That would have to one incredibly fortuitous misspelling to do that.

[HA] Wouldn't everything have better security then that?

[uR] *shrug* Sometimes there's codes that go right through things. That nobody would ever suspect.

[HA] Seriously?

[uR] And a surprisingly large number of those are just shithive random typos in strings of commands.

[HA] Huh, maybe Ventus wasn't lying.

[HA] Oh well then.

[uR] That grubstain shouldn't be anywhere near computers.

[HA] I am a better hacker then him and I can barely navigate my own house.

[uR] And I cannot follow Korona's advice, because it's terrible.

[HA] DX

[uR] And involves contacting that horribly moronic douchebag.

[uR] So I guess I just have to find another way.

[uR] Nothing against Nexxen of course.

[uR] I'd make every attempt to find another route to salvation if it was Rohter we were talking about even.

[HA] What if I can bribe you?

[HA] I just so happen to have on me a video of all of the ways Ventus can die in doomed sessions.

[uR] There is nothing worth going through such a terrible experience.

[HA] All the ways he dies.

[uR] All of them?

[HA] Yeah.

[HA] Does seeing ricochet bullets grind him into swiss sound dumb?

[uR] That sounds incredibly entertaining.

[uR] ....this is just with actors isn't it.

[HA] Nope.

[HA] Someone even scretched his next so he could suffocate in his a******.

[HA] It's glorious.

[uR] XD

[uR] Who did that one?

[HA] A ogre, and I think I helped.

[uR] I need to bestow a medal of valor upon them if I ever encounter them at a later point.

[HA] There is a credits list.

[uR] This offer is astoundingly tempting.

[HA] I know right?

[uR] ....gog damn it.

[uR] Now I really want to see that video.

[uR] .....how do I know it really exists?

[uR] You'd better not be utilizing your ninja tricks again.

[HA] Well I could send it to you,

[HA] But then you'd run with it.

[uR] That's always a possibility.

[HA] See? Look do it so that even if I was lying you could make your own clip for the movie?

[HA] And if you promise to do it I will send it to you.

[HA] But for now...

---HA sends BRIBETRAILER to UR---

[uR] Ok. Yes. I need this video badly.

[uR] You have my word that I will cooperate with that fuckass ventard to save Nexxen.

[uR] Is there some sort of ninja pact I need to make?

[HA] Yes, you now have to kill a musclebeast and eat it's blood.

[HA] No stupid.

[uR] ((>_>

[uR] And tell future you to come back and administer first aid if I start foaming at the mouth mid conversation.

[HA] Can do!

[uR] Oh, and if they haven't already, don't be surprised when your imps start shooting fire.

[HA] Only I am allowed to shoot fireballs.

[uR] The lighter I prototyped begs to differ.

[HA] You prototyped a lighter?

[uR] It's complicated.

[uR] I double prototyped prior to entering.

[HA] DX

[uR] On the plus side, MEOWSprite now breathes fire.

[uR] BLUE fire.

[uR] Which is hotter than boring red fire.

[HA] Oh cool.

[uR] The imps seem to only have red fire though.

[uR] Sucks to be them.

[HA] Indeed they do.

[HA] So go do that stuff now.

[uR] Alright.

[uR] Here I go.

[uR] Into the maw of motherfucking anguish.

[HA] And I shall be behind you to supply medication.

[HA] If you stare to long at the screen, the screen stares back.

[uR] Then you should inquire as to what the devil the screen is ogling and then judo chop it or whatever.

[HA] Ha, yeah

Oh troll jegus. What the hell have you gotten yourself into? But that video......it's sooooooooo good. If there were Blackrom adult video stores that would be a best seller. Because you'd buy all the copies. All of them.

> INTO THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES YOU GO!!!!!!

f***, you meant metapurrical flames, not actual flames!

It would some sort of creature has shown up to assail you. This will most certainly not do.

> Libra that Thing!

Coin what coi- Wrong Libra.

Anyway, it's an imp. And apparently it shoots fire because you prototyped a lighter. Joy.

>

Dodging it's barrage of flame, you return fire. 3 shots to head might have been overkill, but you're not taking any chances in this strange place.

Of course, there's never only ONE adversary. You learned that long ago. You turn around to see 10 more materializing. Some of these can fly, others have several tails. Hmm....those tails are starting to look like fuses to you.

One of the winged ones swoops up beside you and opens it's mouth to deliver a blast of fiery mayh- Oh god damn it. The little prick has no time to finish that thought, as a bullet rips through one of its pinions. The impact causes it's head to whip to the side, launching it's payload....right into another imps tail. The fire starts to climb up the tail slowly. Faced with impending scorchdoom, the unlucky imp panics, running in circles until it crashes into friends and finally bursts into flame.

Chain reaction. Or maybe chain smoking if you wanted to make a stupid pun but no that's retarded.

The embarrassed flier turns back around to meet a barrel right in his face. The imp's eyes barely have time to widen before a bullet is lodged between them.

The (by now familiar) sound of more coming in echoes from behind you. Why do they try sneak attacks if they're so damn loud? Oh jegus. There's like 200 of the f***ers and....they're ALL fire variants. s***.

Opening their wretched jaws, they all fire in unison, creating a blazing wall that is rapidly encroaching on your position. Suddenly, a small blue flame comes rocketing toward them from overhead. The firewall vanishes, the sapphire shot forcing it to dissipate. IT IS SO HOT IT IS BURNING THE OTHER FLAMES OH MY GOD THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME DESPITE MAKING NO SENSE.

Whatever was on the other side of that is already ash before the smoke clears. Good McMeowMeow. Best Sprite.

You gather all the grist (all of it). You'll alchemize later once Nexxen is taken care of.

> Troll Ventus

f***, you would have preferred more literal flames. Oh well.

[spoiler=Chatlog]

[uR] Alright douchefag, what can I do to be as splendidly helpful as possible?

[DV] ......

[DV] I must have hit my head harder then I thought. Is this actually Felixe?

[uR] No. This is your fairy god trol- OF COURSE IT'S ME DUMBASS.

[DV] Wow and here I thought that someone would have to act as our go between.

[DV] Anyway, I take it you have already been informed of the situation?

[uR] No. Your arrtard friend just kept rambling about how I needed to talk to you because Nexxen was in trouble.

[uR] I assume it's meteors though.

[DV] Don't insult Korona.

[DV] And yes, f***ing meteors.

[uR] The deal said I had to help you. Nothing mentioned I had to conduct myself cordially.

[uR] So what do you require of me?

[DV] Fine, act like a fucktard.

[DV] Anyway, I need you to hack the Client and Server versions of Sgrub that you have, and copy them onto blank disks.

[DV] Then, find a way to send them to me, and I can get them to Nexxen so that he can enter the medium and not die.

[uR] ....

[uR] You do realize. That Rohter could have done this too.

[uR] Because I downloaded a dual copy.

[uR] And can pretty much copy it to a MewSB in 4 seconds.

[uR] And he has one of said MewSBs.

[uR] Meaning you two idiots could have had him do it instead.

[DV] Well how the f*** am I supposed to have known that?

[uR] So I'm talking to YOU for no reason.

[DV] No, turns out it's a good reason. I now have info that I did not have, which means I don't have to wonder how it's going to be sent to me from the medium, since Rohter isn't there yet.

[DV] At least, I think he isn't.

[DV] My head hurts.

[uR] I hate your stupid husk so much.

[DV] Can't say that the feeling is mutual.

[uR] I say husk, because you're devoid of a soul or anything else that's worth .001 of a s***.

[uR] I am going to enjoy watching you die over and over.

[DV] You mean your little present from Future Naksia, right?

[uR] Obviously.

[DV] Whatever.

[DV] I am going now.

[uR] Have fun with your dead dragon.

[DV] Have fun with your dead dick.

[DV] Oh wait, you don't have one/

[uR] Females don't have those moron.

[uR] Not everyone is a mutant like you.

[DV] Derp, that's obvious.

[DV] Or Karine.

[uR] Don't you dare compare yourself to Karine.

[uR] She is leagues superior to what you'll ever be.

[DV] She's an a******. You just like her better because she's not me.

[DV] Anyway, I am out of here.

[DV] Later.

[uR] Bye assfuckingdouchehatjackasspieceofshitgodieinafuckinghole.

unveilingRaven [uR] blocked demonicallyVacuous [DV]

Well, that went better than you expected, despite being completely unnecessary. Rohter should be able to handle it from there.

And speaking of Karine, you haven't talked to her in a while. Maybe you could have a chat sometime soon? Or maybe you should alchemize first? Decisions decisions.

> Procrastinate.

You'll get right on that command later.

fenrir · February 13, 2011

Rohter and Sephra moved to the inside of his hive, specifically the sub pens. Whilst Sephra practiced her swimming and diving, Rohter sat on the edge of the pen she was using. He had grabbed his spare husktop, and was busy answering various annoying trolls. One a crazy indigo blooded troll, the other an a****** high blood. You decide to answer the crazy one first.

[spoiler=NF/FN]

FN: HEY!

NF: Hi.

FN: How ARE you doing?

NF: Pretty, yawn, good. With Sephra at the moment.

FN: 0O

NF: ...What.

FN: oheemgee

NF: What?

FN: YOU TWO WOULD BE SO CUTE TOGETHER <3

FN: But scandalous. 0C

FN: I might HAVE to cull you.

NF: We both know you wouldn't.

FN: >0O

NF: I mean seriously.

FN: Fine!

FN: Seriously though, KEEP it low between you too. 0)

NF: First of all we aren't even matesprites, uh, second of all the world is supposedly ending. According to Naksia.

FN: I know. 0]

NF: I know you know.

FN: You WOULD know, but you're a stuck-up loser sometimes! 0P

NF: Yawn, right.

FN: ANYWAYS. Just wanted to see how you were doing. 0]

NF: Good timing, Ventus is bothering me.

FN: >0O

FN: I'll BUG him for you.

You end your conversation with Karine prematurely; what does this f***er want? An obvious scowl appears on your face. Personally you would not want to answer him, but you suppose you'll humor him. Just once.

[spoiler=NF/DV]

DV: Hey Rohter.

NF: Oh.

NF: It's you.

DV: Yes, it's me

NF: Make it quick, yawn, busy.

DV: Let's skip the unpleaseantries, there's no time for it this time around.

NF: I just said make it quick.

NF: I was agreeing with you, dammit.

DV: Sorry, bit of lag on my end fora moment there.

DV: Anyway, I require a copy of the Client and Server versions of Sgrub.

NF: Who the f*** told you that.

NF: That I have it.

NF: Yawn, I mean.

DV: Felixe, that's who.

DV: Now fork it over, Nexxen needs it.

NF: See this is confusing, why would Felixe ever talk to you.

NF: Sigh.

NF: Give me a moment.

DV: Because he was given the perfect bribe, apparently. <_<

--- [NF] is sending BETASTUFF to [DV] ---

NF: She, not he. I'll be, yawn, sure to tell her that.

DV: Whatever. I am in kind of a rush here, so I don't have time to sweat the details.

DV: Okay, got it.

DV: I'll copy this down and get it to Nexxen right away.

NF: Just send him the stuff through pesterchum.

NF: I have the downloaded version.

DV: Right, will do.

DV: Later, and take care.

NF: Right.

--- [DV] ceased trolling [NF] ---

NF: Sephra says hi by the way.

Damn, you were hoping to start something with Ventus, but he logs off before he could receive your message. Oh well, he'll get it when he logs back on. You shut your husktop in disgust, placing it to your right. You kick your legs a bit, watching as Sephra seemed to swim circles around the submarine in the pen. It was a nice one, you thought. You called it the Lagiacrus. It was lapis lazuli in color with an interesting hood shaped canopy in the front, designed to allow the engines to charge with thermal energy from the sun. Too bad you never got to test it, considering Alternia is so dark. You note the landing 'claws' you added to the underside. It would allow the submarine to be able to stay in low tides while not causing any sustained damage to the hull itself. The electric railguns were also a nice touch, you think. It's not that large either, arguably it's medium in size compared to others of your works.

A large splash of water hits your feet.

"Can you not splash large amounts of water in my direction." He paused before furrowing his brow. "Please...?"

She stared up at him, then slid slowly underwater. Suddenly, she rushed out, right in front of him, a microcasm of a tsunami racing towards Rohter. "You mean like that?" she asked playfully. He blinked once and assessed the situation. He was completely wet again. "Gogdamnit Sephra." If he had water he would respond by kicking some at her, but sadly he was a few inches above the water. He inched forward in an attempt to retaliate, only to slip and fall in a rather fail manner. It didn't help that the water in the sub pen was deep and he couldn't really swim.

She couldn't help but break into an uncontrollable giggle for a moment, before swimming under and fishing him out, resting him on the side. "You're such a failure," she commented, with a trademark eye roll. Rohter spit out a stream of water in response, then stuck out his tongue. "Remember that I built this." He retorted, laying on the edge of the pen, staring at the ceiling.

"Of course I'd remember," she said, her arms now folded over the edge of the pen, staring at him. "How could I forget? You're always on about it."

The Warden · February 14, 2011

==> Nexxen: Answer Ventus

It seems 'that guy' is trying to message you, sighe, guess you'll have to answer, it's only polite.

[spoiler=dV/sH]

dV: Hey Nexxen, I have good news.

sH: Delightful

dV: I got the Sgrub stuff that you needed. Just hold on a second while I send it.

--- demonivallyVacuous [DV] sent stalwartHerdsman [sH] BETASTUFF] ---

dV: Turns out there was a download of it.

sH: So Felixe was helpful then?

dV: Actually she just said f*** off and go talk to Rohter, but that's to be expected from her where I'm concerned.

dV: Turns out Rohter had a few copies the whole time.

sH: He did?

dV: Yeah.

dV: Anyway, now all you need is a server player..

sH: *Twitches*

dV: Any thoughts on who?

dV: *notices the twitching*

dV: Is something wrong, Nexxen?

sH: I inquired to Rohter about this game

dV: Let me guess. He said that he couldn't help. <_>

sH: I got less than the desired answer

sH: As he said he knew little about the game

dV: Well if you only asked about the game and not whether he had it or not, you can hardly shift the blame onto him.

sH: I asked him if he knew anything about the game

dV: Right. Well anyway, back to waht I was saying before.

dV: Any ideas for a server player?

sH: That's the one I help into the medium right?

dV: Nonono, the Server Player gets the Client Player into the medium.

dV: I assumed tha you wished to be the Clienbt Player?

sH: Well, it's taking a while

sH: And, I can't see a meteor

sH: I'll leave it to the others to get in before I do

dV: Well that's your choice of course, but I wouldn't be wasting any time if I were you.

dV: Speaking of, I should get going and figure out what my ordeal is about now, since it looks like a got a f***ing busted mechanical egg for my troubles.

sH: Hatch it

dV: It's not that kind of egg, Nexxen.

dV: It's MECHANICAL, meaning it isn't going to hatch into anything.

dV: But yeah, got to go.

dV: Good luck with things on your end.

sH: Go for it

That was kinda annoying, but you'll wait. You figure it would be better, at least then you'll have a better idea about this game.
