TA: Hey, everyone. Have the discs come yet?

TC: Yeah! They're so cool!

AC: You're an idiot. You're probably just impressed that it's shiny.

TC: Maybe...

AA: Please try and be mature, guys. I don't know how I live with you.

AC: You don't, Fearless Leader. I'm in Montana.

TC: Ooh! I'm in Oklahoma!

CT: It dinnae be important, but I be in the rugged north of Scotland.

AA: We are NOT mentioning our places of origin.

TA: Yeah. Discs?

AC: Right here.

CT: Aye.

AA: Got it.

TC: I have mine!

AT: Yes, I do, in fact, have my information disk in close proximity.

AA: Good. Client-Server?

AT: Miss Starshine is my client player.

TC: I wanted Haley...

AT: Such a misfortune. On a completely unrelated note, I find that

SendingService tends to eliminate sarcasm on text messages.

AC: Yeah, Ears. Those ears look amazing on you. It was entirely worth all the money you spent getting them changed. See! SendingService needs to make a sarcasm patch!

CT: Nay, I like the kinda open honesty this forces.

AA: I'm paired up with Elan.

CT: Argh! Stuck with Belkar!

AC: I'm great! You don't have Ears or Stick-up-his-Ass, do you?

AA: WELL THEN, GANG? TIME TO ENTER THE GAME?

Haley: Enter Disc

You put the SBURB BETA into your RUN-DOWN PC, and a MYSTERIOUS LATTICE appears on your screen. On some level, it's sort of hypnotic.

Haley: Stare into Lattice

It's not that special.

Haley: Look around house.

Your bed is hovering.

Haley: Ask Vaarsuvius.

TA: V? What's going on?

AT: I have discovered an interesting property of being a server player. Regardless, tear your eyes from the levitating object and find a space for this Alchemiter. I am reading the relevant notes, as written by one TentacleTherapist, and it is quite important. As a side note, TentacleTherapist has a most terse and efficient style of writing.

TA: What the hell is an algae meter?

AT: Watch.
