You are now Sharl.

The merchant's expression seemed fixed into a state of severe frustration. However, the worst of it was over. He had acquired some information from the last conversation. Regardless of his motivation for revenge, preserving profits or self-preservation, Sharl was now very much attentive to the need for attention to the game's mechanics.

Right now, he has a promise to keep, and quite swiftly too.

BH: I'm sorry. I don't have much time to talk. 
BH: So many people to talk to. :sweatdrop
BH: Stay near the game and don't delete it. 
BH: Our ultimate survival might require successfully completing the chain that Caoway went into details about. 
BH: One thing more... about the game... >->
BH: It might be able to revive Nommington.
OO: it... can?
OO: how did you figure that out?
BH: I didn't figure it out. More like accquired the data from the grubvine. :cool:
BH: But Reztek seem to have gotten some info from the future. Strange really... :wtf:
BH: The full details is rather involved so I don't think we have time to discuss it... 
BH: :crossarms: but due to the unique circumstances involved, he's convinced that it is genuine.
BH: :rolleyes: and considering the alternative is destruction, I'm willing to give it a shot...
OO: .....
OO: all right. i'll take your word for it.
OO: i wanna do shome reshearch into thish. 
OO: but... for now, i'll give thish the benefit of a doubt.
OO: when the time comesh, i'll join the game and complete the chain.

BH: :( Iropha, I hope this message doesn't come to you at a bad time, but I am afraid I have to cancel my delivery requests. 
BH: My clients all canceled their orders. :crying:
BH: A rash of unfortunate incidents which I'm most upset about. :argh:
BH: Anyhow, it is of no fault of your own, and I apologize for the extremely short notice. :ohdear:
BH: Wishing that I may have more clients later on to continue our business relationship. And hoping you are doing well outside of that as well. :)

You are now brooding as Nasryl, crying over your failure. It was your fault, you're supposed to be a doctor. You are awful though, why are you so worthless? Is it fate? Are you just destined to be like... him no matter what? Either way, you are no healer.

>Nasryl: Abort

You speak with Sharl about canceling your shipment. You just can't carry on anymore. Over your sobs however, you hear a ping on your HUSKTOP. Aldurin again? Too bad for him, he can deal with whatever injury he has given himself on his own.

...fine you'll answer him.

You look outside and view the LAWNRING down yonder. There does seem to be smoke, but who is to say that some prick didn't just start a fire? These are TROLLS after all. You decide to give it a benefit of doubt though, as that is a big smoke trail.

You sit there in thought for a while. He encouraged you. Like a friend would. You think you can strive forward now without the guilt. Perhaps at some point you can return the favor to him?

Yeah you're pretty sure that went well.

>Glissa: reach the top floor

You are now Glissa short amount of time in the past, and you have finally made it to the top floor of your HIVE. It is here that you go to visit your LUSUS at least once every day. Not many things live out here in the artic circle, but the things that do are incredibly dangerous. It is very fortunate for you that your lusus is a SERRATED MANTARATOR, making him even more dangerous. Every day, he always circles the area around the HIVE to ensure your safety. It is good to see him once a day to show him your gratitude. However, he is a bit late. While waiting, you decide to observe some of your ANTIQUES in storage up here. One in particular gets your attention.

It is the VAN HELLAN AX of course. Only the most righteous guitar to ever bless paradox space. Its power of ROCK is untold, and it is dangerous to the user and all around him or her. However, legends foretell the CHOSEN ONE who can tame its sick chords and harness its power to ROCK THE FUCK OUT like no one has ever before. The METAL MESSIAH has yet to show himself though, and you have declined selling the relic.

Maybe though... just maybe you have come into possession of this divine STRINGED INSTRUMENT for a reason? Its worth a try. The legends of its power are probably an exaggeration anyways.

>Glissa: Rock the Fuck out

You wake up 10 minutes later with what feels like a concussion, and you appear to be bleeding from the back of your neck. You shakily rise to your feet to find that you were catapulted from the top floor of your hive to the surface some quarter mile away. You see that the top floor was completely wiped out in the destruction. Limping forward, you drag yourself back to the front of your HIVE to find your LUSUS, Biroste, laying on his back.

Oh man oh gog where did the right side of him go?

Show Lusus LogGlissa: Birost, make believe time is over. I'm not a wrigglere anymore...
Glissa: Please stope.
Glissa: I ORDER YOU TO STOPE


You begin to feel rather hysterical. This isn't really happening right? Oh god you can't even see your own hands through the purple anymore. You need help.

>Glissa: Contact Nasryl

You proceed to have the conversation detailed above. It proves a failure, and he abandons you. You are sort of flipping your shit right now.

Fine, you're Zebrek.

>Find tools.

You think there's something in your collection you could use to dig a grave.

After wiping your eyes, you climb the tree and hide Twinkleberry in the upper branches. Hopefully he'll be safe from predators there until you get back.

========>

With Twinkleberry hidden, you slowly make your way back to your cave in a mournful shuffle. In your state, you don't even notice that the sky is covered with hundreds of fiery shooting stars, all falling at the same time. If you noticed them, you might wish for Twinkleberry to come back. And it would count for a hundred, so it would definitely come true.

But you don't. You just look at the ground as your feet scrape the grass. You don't try to stop the tears anymore.

Well why didn't you just say so? You're now current Zebrek slightly in the future.

You've just gotten back to your hive. On your way back, you had time to think. Now you're angry. You're going to find whoever was responsible and make them pay.

========>

Going to the other room, you find the culprit. You have enough sense not to look at the book, since you know Twinkleberry was looking at it before he...

> This is bull.

You are now Leraje. In the past.

> FFFFFFFFFF-NOOOOOOOOOOO! Not him again! The tears have almost stopped!

Sorry, but the tears will never stop and you're not going anywhere without a proper transition combo. You're stuck here for the time being, bub.

> Leraje's Hive: Be in a another time.

There is a sudden scene transition to the same spot many years in the future, a time when the meddler and his hive have long since left for greener pastures. The only evidence that it was ever there is a large crater in the sands, left by a meteor that probably would have killed him had he not gained entry at the very last second.

The view closes in on the center of the crater, where a manhole cover with a strange spirograph design rests beside a dark passageway into the earth below. We travel into the hole and down through the winding tunnel leading to the inner chambers of this buried station. You now enter a rather dark room, the only source of illumination is the light of a single monitor on the hexadecascreen at the east end, which happens to be showing a large pile of burning books. Cutting the light of the bonfire from the screen, is shape of a tall, black carapace'd individual with only some very maculate rags wrapped around their body.

This person turns their attention from screen to you. And then back to the screen again, cuz let's face it you're not more interesting then a pile of burning books.

> Mystery Person: Type => Switch 2.

Nope, she's ignoring you. She types in => Switch 4 and another screen switches on, this one showing an asshat-ish looking troll standing in a small pile of grist and his sparkling bug-sprite thing. The drifter seems to recognize the troll and mutters the word “reaper” under her breath, along with a few choice expletives. She then becomes entranced with the sprite, which is understandable. I mean, look at him. He's like a glittering, insectoid Adonis. The fair tone of his exoskeleton, such sharp monstrous features, luscious full antennae on his head, and those smoldering compound eyes! He's... he's gorgeous! I must have him!

> Mystery Person: For the love of Gog, type => Switch 2!

The stranger ignores your request and draws her lips closer to the screen. A sudden tremor shakes the command station and brings her back to her senses. She hastily switches screens so she does not fall victim to the mantis ghost's Glamour again. This screen shows a traumatized troll weeping over the body of a giant lizard or something like it. This screen seems to have a lock symbol on it, meaning that she can only view this troll, not talk to or influence his actions. That's no fun.

> Gross Hobo: Type => Switch 2.

The dusty vagrant types => Switch 11 and a screen turns on with a bubbling chowder-pot full of... something on it. Another lock sign though. Typical.

> Pretty Miss: Type => Switch 2.

Flattery will get you nowhere with her. Another monitor switches on and we see troll child wearing aviator sunglasses driving back some really nasty monsters with her own detached robot arm. Locked, of course. This is really starting to chafe the lady.

> Stubborn Bitch: Type => Switch 2.

Not fig is given by her this day, although she was generous enough to give you a finger. A screen near the bottom pops on, this one displaying a horned ragamuffin who it seems is trying to resuscitate a disembodied imp head. She tries to type an insult at him but is met with a big fat lock icon. Blast. She's grown bored with this piece of junk and wanders a little ways away to some sort of lumpy pile on the floor. Hard to make out what it is in this light.

> Holy hell, what do I have to do to control this person?

Type ========>

========>

You are now the Intractable Drifter, an exile who has wandered the wastes of this dead planet for many a year. You discovered this command station mere minutes ago when you tripped over a half buried chest in the sands and fell face first onto the hatch cover. You decided to explore the innards of this station but you're beginning to lose interest in it and your newly discovered hexadecascreen console. Right now you stand in the west end of the room next to... something that I can't quite make out in the dim light of the monitor. What would you like to do now?

> ID: Retrieve arms from chest.

Okay, first off: You can't hardly see anything in the room right now. Second, your arms attached to your shoulders.

Clap-Clap

See? Whoa! Would you look at that, the lights came on! Now you can see everything perfectly. The lumpy pile next to your feet is revealed to be nothing more than the chest from earlier and a jumble of cans that fell out when you took the CAPS LOCK off. You check the chest but you don't find any arms, just a pair of angular, dark tinted eye-wear. You guess it would make a good shiv in pinch, so you pick it up and holster it in the bindings on your hip.

> ID: Open several cans with the pointy anime-shades and imbibe the contents.

Nah, you had a whole nut creature for breakfast not too long ago so you're not hungry at the moment. Sort of thirsty though. It does occur to you that taking a few cans along would be a good idea. You never know when your next meal is going to be on this god-forsaken hole of a rock. You pick the cans up and strap them into your bindings in alphabetical order.

There, now hunger will never catch you off guard again.

> ID: Read book on troll etiquette.

This thing? You found it to be a very boring read so you decided to tear the pages out and put them to better use. Look, you made bunch of little origami people and animals and things and have set them up in the south end of the room. You are very proud of your newly birthed crafts.

> ID: Fondly regard your creations.

You look down upon your folded paper children in a sort of matriarchal manner, like you were some kind of watermark on high. They are all perfect in your eyes, each one a literal work of art. Well, except for this dog, it came out a little wonky. Eh, it's cool. Not like there's anybody here to criticize your work.

> ID: Prepare for imminent raid from a roving gang of trolls.

The notion of preparing for any kind of raid strikes you as an incredible waste of time. You've trudged across the sands of this world for years and have yet to see any other living thing intelligent enough to form a gang of unruly punks. You do come across little odds and ends that seem to be leftovers from a once proud society of people who dressed up as winged creatures of the night and wore cleaning supplies as headgear, but it's pretty clear that they were either wiped out or moved on to another planet eons ago.

It makes you a little sad sometimes, being by yourself in this great big empty wasteland. Sitting by the campfire at night, looking at little artifacts from days long past, and making little rhymes all by your lonesome. You still have hope though. Hope that there may be other exiles like you, traversing these barren lands. Hope that they may be united through the power of word-tech and together you can make some strict progress on rebuilding civilization. This belief in a better tomorrow made possible by the verbal pulse that thumps in the hearts of all living things may be the only thing keeping you going.

> ID: Make believe you're a giant monster and attack the origami creatures.

Shut up and jam? Well, don't mind if you do! You slap on the shades and prop your leg on top of the chest. This is how we do it.

okay check it.
mistress of the paper-craft, bout to give
you the shaft
think you can out-rap me?
boy you must daft
but go ahead i could use a good laugh
hidden beneath these rags, the rights to brag
a goddess of wordtech not a rhythm-less hag
so lets settle the score here on the floor
i don't squabble its straight-up war
that I wage since a long past age
since my strife against the sage
and his buddy the mage
makes me wanna rage and rip up out some page
but I dont
gives strength to the pen, mightier than the sword
greater than any weapon in the steward's horde
open the wrong book and find yourself gored
youll never be bored but you may get floored
come harvest-time
cuz of the crime you committed in her eyes
brought before the judge to expose the lies
the wrong-doings that chaos can never disguise
she'll try to chop you up and serve with fries
so rewind
to the right when and place
inciphisphere is never short on time or space
but it aint always the case
though
cuz the thief may rob you of that bro
you try to stop em but find you're too slow
so go
and find the dork who reverberates
tell him bout the incident so that he can sates
his childish need to be the hero
but they're all big zeroes
rock-collectors and adult-kids and quacks
think theyre the stars but theyre all hacks
fixed nothing and left behind only ruins
raptacular savior is a role i can fill in
so gather parchment followers and we'll lift up the rubble
strength in numbers enough to overcome our trouble
we'll raise it high in the sky
and act like it heavy though its not
now its time to let it go
so drop it like its...
drop it like its...


Fuck! Can't think of any simile to make here. Why would you drop something? C'mon c'mon! Ahhhhh, you've already lost the rhythm. You kick the chest over in disgust.

This is pathetic. Years without a proper rap-off have atrophied your ability to let loose the righteous flow of your soul. The total lack of strict beats isn't helping matters neither.

> ID: Pull spare turntable out of sylladex.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Glossing over the fact that you have no idea what the hell a sylladex is, you don't have anymore turntables to pull out. Your last one was knifed ages ago by your dickhead superior. Sour-puss son of a bitch was always shutting you down just as things started to get deliriously biznasty. He cracked down even harder once those horned dipshits started popping out of the woodwork and handing out beat-downs like they were cheap cigars. God, you hate him. And you hate those kids even more. What they did to you...

> ID: Get really fucking frustrated over the memory of the incident.

You decide to stop seething and return to the console and start fiddling around with it again. Maybe this thing has some fresh jams stored in it somewhere.

> ID: Press TAB.

There is no tab button. Or rather, the word TAB has been scraped off the button and GUS has been written in its place.

> ID: Press GUS.

You press the button and the second compartment on the north wall flips open. Several glass bottles of lukewarm soda tumble to the floor and roll around.

> ID: Pop open a bunch of bottles and just go nuts!

Yeah!

Woo-hoo!

This is-

THIS IS-

This is moronic. You mean, yeah this is a terrific turn of events. First bit of drinkable liquid you've had in days, but it's not really anything that warrants jumping straight through the ceiling and pulling off a spastic, mid-air full body revolution whilst releasing a shower of carbonated cinnabar ejaculate onto everything in sight. You've never even tried this drink before and thus are not sure if it is all that great anyway.

> ID: Cautiously sip swill, but be prepared to BLUH at a moment's notice.

You chug the soda with reckless abandon and find that is pretty decent. It's lightly carbonated and not too sweet. Tastes like pomegranate. Truly a drink for those with a discerning adult palate. Still not something to launch your shit up into orbit over.

Your thirst is now quenched and you experience no caffeine high.

> ID: Seek out a sparring partner to sharpen rhyming chops.

Oh yesss, now that's a command! You spare a moment to holster a couple bottles before rushing back to the command console.

Let's see...

Who shall be the first to receive the gift of utter verbal ruination?

>Be the lucky recipient of aforementioned gift.

Error: You can't be the lucky recipient because she hasn't decided who to talk to yet!

>Be someone else.

You are now GORRMA.

>......

Don't worry.

The tears

have

finally stopped.

You are now sitting at your computer, contemplating this latest turn of events. Your CONVERSATION with SHARL has left you pensive. Could it be true? Could this game really hold the key to resurrecting your lusus? It sounded impossible, but then, so did the idea that installing a video game on your half-eaten husktop could bring about the apocalypse.

You chew your lower lip thoughtfully. You had, in all honesty, considered abandoning the SGRUB game and going on a vengeful hunt-down of your former friend Aldurin. If you found his hive, justice would be served with a side of fries. If your failure to connect to the game doomed the entire world... well, Aldurin would still die anyway, so it wasn't a total loss.

But now the possibility of reversing the damage done to Nommington beckoned. And you DID just tell Sharl you'd play...

Ugh, this is so confusing! You hate moral quandries! To risk dooming the world in order to get revenge, or to risk letting a murderer get away on the heresay rumor that you could resurrect a friend.

You don't know what to do! If only someone would send you a SIGN! Some sort of divine guidance, letting you know which path you should follow! If only the ghost of your dearly departed lusus would appear now before you, to offer you a word of wisd--- oh hey, is that an Alternian gigapede on the ground over there??

>....what

Oh wow, it IS! You jump up from your husktop and GOURMANCER HARVEST-POUNCE on the little armored creature. You grab the insect before it can scurry away on its billion little legs back into your larder.

The ALTERNIAN GIGAPEDE was a symbol of good luck. The hard-to-find little insect was said to live in places where good things were about to happen. This must be a sign! Maybe... Maybe things were going to get better after all!

You look down at your clasped hands, the gigapede trapped in your clutches, its myriad of tiny, segmented lags scratching to get free. You think you'l call him Giga.

>Gorrma: Make gigapede a hat and tiny sunglasses; declare him your sidekick and go on a magical adventure together.

Oh man, that would be so cool. Gorrma and Giga, riding off into the sunset to do battle with foes and explore new worlds. You're gonna--

CRUNCH!

Mmmmmmm. Tastes like good fortune and exoskeleton!

You slurp down the rest of ex-Giga like a peice of spaghetti and wipe your hands on your apron. Hey, maybe Giga had a nest somewhere down here! You bet gigapede larva would taste excellent baked into a fritter!

This was a sign. Things were going to get better.


In the sky, a large glowing chunk of rock began its fateful descent.

You are now, against all reasoning, Tergum in the distant past of... well, fifty-five minutes before he enters the medium. You have just discovered (and accidentally captchalogued) the corpse of your Lusus, and have managed to put aside that loss for the sake of your friends.

>DP...W55MBHETM Tergum: Check Trollian.



Jegus Christopher on a ONE-WHEELED DEVICE, the notifications! The memo you started is practically exploding, there is somehow another Team Rocket memo, the Fortress memo has a veritable shitton of replies, and you're being trolled by... antipathicHopper? What?

Tergum: Sort that shit out.

You decide it's safe to assume you can close the Team Fortress memo; you've already put your two cents in, and you doubt there's anything worth reading. The first Rocket memo, on the other hand, requires a little more of your time, and a lot more of your patience. You suppose you should compose yourself, and answer.

Your kernelsprite is only prototyped once before entry, saving you a lot of hassle and agitation when you enter the Medium.

And then, because you didn't do what you were supposed to, after many, many, many hours of trials, gaming, and becoming a better person..

You die.

You are now Future Tergum, and you have just killed yourself, and all of your friends. As you begin to dissolve due to Paradox Space's bullshit, one thought goes through your mind.

You are the Intractable Drifter and you are searching for someone deserving of your brutal poetry.

> ID: Type => Switch 2

Done. The second monitor flickers on and displays the salty troll youth you dubbed as “sage” earlier. He is currently strangling an imp using a pole-and-line.

> hey sea cucumber
> im back
> ready to face the rapocalypse sage
> im about to rain down some lethally dope rhymes


The young troll seems to be too engrossed in his struggle to pay you any mind.

> hey im talking to you sage
> stop brushing me off and respond


The young man who would be Sage appears to be facing a dilemma. The imp wears the face of his guardian. He is hesitant in finishing it off.

> what is this
> that underling isnt your stupid ghost-dad-beast
> why don't you just get over it
> seriously can't believe this shit
> youve already fought that face a thousand times before
> just do what what you always do hardcore


The fishertroll abides. He tears the imp's head off and it's body converts into building materials. The troll looks at the mess of grist quizzically.

> oh wow brutal i mean the way you fought
> well you gonna pick up those spoils or not


There is much scrambling about and the grist and calcium are collected.

Grist: +20
Calcium: +15

The sprat also picks up a new strife specibus card, Pistolkind. He doesn't seem too enthused about this new addition to his strife portfolio. Maybe he doesn't like guns?

> i wonder if offing that punkass chump
> was enough to give your punkass rank a bump
> oh that was awful
> pretend i never said any of that


This victory gives the Troll a few thin chin whiskers and allows him to climb up his echeladder. He ascends from the lowly "Greenpike" and bypasses the second acheivement rung of “Easily Out-Dreadlocksed By Zooplankton Buckeroo” altogether, landing him on the slightly more respectable “Shrimp Sheller” rung.

His cache limit is expanded to 50 and his gel viscosity increases to 20. He receives 96 boondollars, which is immediately placed in his taxidermied porkhollow.

> hey who are these douchebags

New enemies approach. It appears the imp had friends. Friends who are none too happy to find the troll boy gathering up the remains of their comrade. They loudly and clumsily charge at the imp killer.

> way to ambush
> stooges
> why even bother sending imps
> those idiots deserve to be straightup broadside smackdowned into a bunch of grist


Caoway's line is cast and hooks the imp in front, the one with the bug eyes. The mutant malefactor is then swung straight up, smashing his broadside right through the ceiling. The fishertroll follows up reeling it back in and smacking the imp down into the ground so hard that it explodes into grist.

The other imps seem to be shocked by this unsettling display of aggression and stop in their tracks. How could their attack fail? They're an ambitious young squad with everything to prove! Their world view has just been shattered like a cheap taco shell that has had too much shredded lettuce stuffed into it.

> hey sage theyre eying that gun

Indeed, the enemies have noticed the endgame weapon lying on the floor. If they could just sort of... reach over there and...

Aw, they're too slow. Just before the imp can grab the wave motion blunderbuss, it's snatched up by the fishertroll's line and reeled in.

> pretty fancy rod fu there capn chump
> why dont you take it outside
> and pay a visit to the stump


Caoway has no idea what you're talking about and is trying to block you out. He points the newly acquired weapon at the imps, scoffs, and decides to catphalogue it instead. The notion of simply blasting his foes into oblivion doesn't seem to be an appealing concept to him.

> wuss
> wuss wuss wuss
> wuss wuss wuss wuss wuss wuss wuss wuss wuss wuss wuss wuss wuss


He stores it in the regular sylladex rather than the strife deck and the tidal modus washes out the concertina to make room. The free reed is launched up into the air and whirls around in spectacular display of ragdoll physics. The imps watch in awe as it arcs across the room and lands squarely in the spade-head's face, letting out a funny crash note as the imp drops to the ground. A portion of spade-head's health vial dries up.

> so very fucking outrageous
> go end it already sage-ous


He rushes forward. The third one is caught off guard and makes a frighten swipe that barely scratches the hardy troll. The dip in his health vial is barely noticeable and the imp's attack makes an opening for him to aggrieve! Caoway switches to oarkind and delivers a smack that sends antenna-head flying through the wall.

Still on the floor, spade-head starts to come to his senses and removes the concertina from his face. Just in time to get a good look at the sole of an old weathered galosh.

Caoway stomps down with all the might of his mangrit. He now stands in another puddle calcium and grist, his left golash covered in white powder.

> yes thats right sage
> just stand there and look badass you
> even though crying seems to be all that you do
> oh I have to kill that groucho cat face
> wah wah wah know your fucking place
> wuss


The heckling seems to finally be getting to Caoway and he starts swearing at you. Unbeknownst to him, one is sneaking up on him. The antenna'd imp he sent through the wall survived, although only barely. It has only the smallest amount of gel left in its vial, but appears to have learned from its mistakes. While supposed sage continues to curse thin air, it slowly makes its way behind him.

> here it comes

The imp makes its move. It leaps forward and catches Caoway's neck in its scythes. The would be sage is caught and he knows it. The imp's victory is imminent, all it takes just a little twitch and...

The imp sniffs one of Caoway's dreadlocks and swoons a little.

> what

Okay, the imp is almost certain that that is not what it wanted to do. Now to fin-

Its scythes are blasted off by a greenish beam that looked like it was full of cigars and herring. The imp staggers backward and is then pounced on by glowing blur of green fur and sabreteeth. Grist everywhere.

> so very useless

It would appear the imp executioner is a ghost-cat thing wearing a rather hilarious disguise. The fishertroll glowers at his greenish saviour.

BEECHIESPRITE: okay
BEECHIESPRITE: yes it is important and because its so important that there are these two powers that have been fighting over it for as long as this place has existed
BEECHIESPRITE: there is one light side that guards and protects Skaia
BEECHIESPRITE: and one dark side that wants to destroy it.
BEECHIESPRITE: at the center of Skaia theres a place called the battlefield
BEECHIESPRITE: its there that these two forces fight

BEECHIESPRITE: one went up to the ca-pi-tal of the light kingdom up above while leaving behind the Seven Gates
BEECHIESPRITE: the other went down to the land of shadows in the dark kingdom
BEECHIESPRITE: in each kingdom there are sixteen spires with orbs atop them
BEECHIESPRITE: thats as many as four fours
BEECHIESPRITE: they stand over the re-spec-tive so-ve-reign powers each waiting to re-ceive a kernel
BEECHIESPRITE: once the kernel comes to rest in the orb they take the in-for-ma-tion in it and apply it to their forces
BEECHIESPRITE: so the battle grows
BEECHIESPRITE: and it keeps growing with each new player who enters
BEECHIESPRITE: it is a battle between the forces of good and evil

>Be someone less traumatized.

That command was already filled several week ago numbglobes! You ought to pay more attention, before deciding to grace the world your infinitely vast ignorance. Try something else.

> Spam backspace.

Fine, bee that way. Asshole.

You ascend the command prompt until you find your desired action.

">Be someone less traumatized.|"

You are now less traumatized.

THAT IS LES TRAUMATISÉ, YOU UNCULTURED SWINE. Remember that name, so when they ask what brigade of dashing and terrifying outlaws took down your miserable excuse for a lateral locoshuttle, you will.. ehhh... TELL THEM!!

>what is this i don't even



You are Casaro B'omine, leader of the disreputable gang of Alternian thieves, LES TRAUMATISÉ. Your camaraderie specializes in lateral loco shuttle robberies, and you have become a notorious folk hero for your grand feats of crime and famous chivalry towards females. Most of that, however, is a load of romanticized bullshit made by the tabloid news common to this day and age. In reality, you're sort of a DICK. In this particular heist, you have stolen a little girl's locket, punched the conductor for looking at you, and pistol-whipped a very unlucky crippled troll.

But it was all worth it. You leave your men to watch the passengers and make your way to the back of the locoshuttle, where the supplies are being transported. While you're more oft to take the possessions of the passengers, this particular cargo is what drove to strike in the first place. For here is the treasure you have spent your life searching for. The Hearth of Hestia. Once you bring this baby to the Alternian Black Market for Extremely Rare and Coveted Cookware, there will be no more dinners of elbow pasta and powdered cultures for you! Even though they taste so good. You briefly ponder if there's some sort of variant or luxury brand you could buy as the butt of a rifle cracks across the back of your skull.

> Notice that your kismesis has outwitted you.

Huh. That she has.

> Monologue.

Casaro cannot perform that action as he is UNCONSCIOUS. He probably won't respond to anything else either, so why don't we move on?

> Be someone doing something awesome.

You are now Vintag, many sweeps in the future. From the previous perspective, that is. So, it's the present. And presently, you are in your laundry block, prepared to remove the stain caused by your asinine sylladex.

> Could you make that a little less awesome, please? I don't think my cardiovascular system can take that sort of excitement.

[S] Fine, you are *AGRESSING* the stain. With a purifying bottle of chemicals in each hand, you attack your hat with unbridled ferocity. Auto-Polish! and so forth. Then you PUT...

THE HAT

IN

THE WASHER!

> This is stupid.

You remember that in addition to the meteors that will destroy your hive long before the spin cycle starts, you have 23 exact duplicates of this hat in your closet. You glare at the soiled hat for what you deem to be an appropriate amount of time, and then exit. You travel further into your hive, the flickering lights strewn across the hall do nothing to guide you, but you know the way without them. The electricity here was shoddy before there was a fire storm to reasonably explain it, but no technician was ever called to fix it. This is partly due to Derpah being the only mechanic you know and partly because you and Vicki don't actually own your hive. You just sort of... found it. So, gotta stay under the radar.

Speaking of Vicki, He's making some racket out in the whatever block. Whatever, anything that goofball breaks you can just replace later.

>Arrive in Respite Block

Finally, you have found the one block in your hive that doesn't have a million comedic deathtraps strewn all over it. Just one. You forgot where you put it. Regardless, when you see the familiar smiles of your silver screen idols cast on the walls around, you enter an almost zen-like state. Many nights you've spent watching your collection on your prized projector. Sometimes you just stare at your posters for a while. You do this all the time actually. You don't have a lot of friends to hang out with.

Speaking of which, you invited one of your friends from online to come watch a performance. Better get that straightened out while you still have the chance.

>OHCRAPOHCRAPOHCRAP

By the time Reztek had written those final two lines, you had already disappeared through the door. You make a mad dash to the common block, stumbling over an assortment of wacky things in the veil of darkness and hazard that has become of your hallway. The clanging has stopped. Despite your best efforts, a thought bubbles to the surface of the dread gravy stewing in your think pan.

Is that good? Or bad?

You don't slow down. Nothing could break your stride at this point. But a loose bag of marbles does make you lose your footing, so you end up cartwheeling through the last leg of the-*CRASH*.

>WHY DOES EVERYTHING YOU DO HAVE TO BE A SHINING EXAMPLE OF INBRED IDIOCY?

You are now in your common block. The lights are out here as well, and you can barely see anything. However, something--or someone--definitely left a sizable mess. What it is though? All this black... blackness. It's like a sea jaguarian ripped into the ink bladder of a Deep One, that then proceeded to roll around in it. All over. You creep towards the far wall, ready to flip the fuck out at any monster that dares decide to exist. You're so tense you almost don't notice Vicki sitting in a pool of his own blood in the corner.

Wait.

You are unable to move or think or do anything besides gawk at the broken figure of your guardian.

>Gawk at broken figure of your guardian.

NO! You need to help Vicki! He can get through this. He has to.

>Get help.

Only one troll is capable of helping you. You make a quick heel-turn and practically towards your husktop. You just hope he's not busy.
