Today is February 23rd, and it is your birthday. Wait a minute. What is a birthday? Today is your wriggling day. Whatever.
== Enter Name: Sparkly Puffball
That's the stupidest thing you've heard all day, and it is most definitely not your name. Your name is CALISKER , and you are a total BRONY. As it was mentioned, today is most definitely your wriggling day. You are one sweep older now, which brings you up to six whole sweeps. Some of your friends, meaning Jordan Calishank, Caligreen, Isobel Holmes, and Alex Graner, sent you some gifts. The one from Isobel has not arrived yet, though, and you are eagerly awaiting the package. So far you have received a beaten up, gray, stuffed bunny, who you have named Lucy, a funny looking oversized green candy, and a weird, blue cylinder along with some game discs. These seem plain, but they may turn out to be interesting.
== Play the game.
You don't want to play that right now.
You get on the computer and open up the chat program you always use.
rainbowDash (RD) began jeering arcaneGash (AG)
AG: What do you want?
RD: wr is afs prez?
AG: Exa(tly where it's supposed to be
RD: wr is that?
AG: In the box
RD: ur not helpful
AG: I'm not here to be helpful
AG: Go and ask her yourself if you really want to know
arcaneGash (AG) ceased pestering rainbowDash (RD)
You don't want to talk to Isobel right now.
== Go get your spare arms from the chest.
NO! You absolutely refuse to participate in the crazy antics of your favorite webcomic. You just won't do it. It's too insane for regular usage.
You quickly get bored of thinking to yourself. You put one of the two game discs into the computer and are greeted with a house-shaped logo and a downloading bar. It looks like you'll have to wait a few minutes to play this. The game is called SCLUB and you have no idea where Calishank got it. He left a note in the box that said all of you would play together soon, but that was it.
The game dings, signaling it is done downloading, so you put the other disc in.
A new window pops up with a chat session.

BT: Have you gotten the game Calishank sent to you yet?
RD: yes
BT: Did you install it too?
RD: a course
BT: Great!
BT: I'll link up to you now
BT: Calishank will link to me, Miss Graner to him, then Isobel to her and you to Isobel
BT: This is going to be so much fun! :)
RD: if u say so
RD: can we play now?
BT: Yeah sure, I'll tell everyone about who's linking to who
RD: k
blackTheatre (BT) ceased cheering rainbowDash (RD)
A tiny icon reading "SCLUB SERVER" appears on your desktop. You click it open. It pops up a message.
No one available for connection.
You suppose not everyone has installed the game yet. Maybe you should ask BT about it.
rainbowDash (RD) began trolling blackTheatre (BT)
RD: whos gotten the game?
RD: SCLUB?
RD: hey
RD: u there?
RD: i guess not
rainbowDash (RD) ceased trolling blackTheatre (BT)
You are now BT.
=== Enter name: Dramaqueen Nutball
No that is definitely not your name. Your name is Caligreen and you are usually not a drama queen nor a nutball. Usually.
Today you received your copy of the new game called SCLUB. You decided who would link to who already. You'll be in charge of Calisker's game and Calishank will be in charge of yours. You didn't think it would be a good idea to put your full troll friend as the server player for anyone but Miss Graner; otherwise, many a bad thing would be likely to occur.
You open a memo and send it out to everyone, but you make sure to only let current people answer to it.
blackTheatre (BT) started a memo at 17:38
BT: Here's the order for linking to the game
BT: The person on this side is the server player - for the person on the other side
BT: So here goes...
BT: BT - Calisker - Isobel - Miss Graner - Calishank - BT
BT: I'll be the last to enter the game
BT: Calisker is already set up to get in
BT: Isobel, get your client installed so we can get a move on
amethystFlames (AF) joined the memo
AF: Im on it
AF: Bt get a hold of the alex human for me
BT: Miss Graner?
BT: Of course I will
AF: Bye then
amethystFlames (AF) left the memo
You are now the troll.
=== Enter name: Psychotic Dunderfuck
No. Your name is most definitely not that stupid piece of shit there. Your name is Isobel Holmes.
Today is your friend's birthday. You sent him a package, but it hasn't arrived yet. That's probably because you live really far away from all your friends. It doesn't matter much anyway, you'll all be entering the game soon enough.
You open the memo from BT and proceed to read the conversation you already read. You pick the game disc off your table and push it into the slot on your computer. You can see Alex on the screen. You have not yet told her you can watch her on your computer, but you may have to keep that information classified. She's sitting down with her strange helmet computer, probably reading BT's memo too. She's in her room with her pajamas on, which is really cute.
You shake your head. This is silly. She wouldn't understand the quadrants of troll relationships, let alone be involved in any of them with you. You take a moment to review the quadrants to yourself.
Besides, even if you WERE flushed for her, you couldn't tell anyone about it. You grumble about your romance issues to yourself for a few minutes before a small timer appears in the middle of your screen.
04:59
It must have something to do with the game.
amethystFlames (AF) began trolling rainbowDash (RD)
AF: Hey
AF: Whats with the countdown
RD: bt says its hw long u hav til a big rock hits ur house
AF: WHAT
RD: dont worry
RD: she told me hw to fix it
AF: Then do that
RD: i need to get in the game 1st
AF: Hurry up and do that then
RD: workin on it

rainbowDash (RD) began trolling blackTheatre (BT)
RD: i need in
BT: Go to that machine I set up in your room
BT: Open it up
BT: And you should probably throw something into it
RD: k
rainbowDash (RD) ceased trolling blackTheatre (BT)
You are now Calisker.
You walk to one side of your room where a strange device has appeared and pull the thing open. A strange thing floats above it. You were told to put something in it. You'll probably be stuck with it for a while, so you pull one of your favorite Fluttershy pictures off the wall and throw it at the thing. It makes a funny noise and blips out and then back. It is now a Fluttershy sprite.
FS: hello there :)
FS: my job is to help you
FS: in the game
RD: k
FS: i'll be back
FS: but only when you really need my help
The sprite disappears. You are thoroughly confused by it. You decide to ask BT about it later. For now, though, the countdown has started. You need to get into the game quickly.
blackTheatre (BT) began cheering rainbowDash (RD)
BT: Take that blue thing you got with your game
BT: You need it to make it into the object, which allows you to gain access to your land
BT: Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that
BT: Good luck!
RD: wut do u mean u dont kno how to do it?!
RD: wut m i supposed to do?
RD: get back hr bt
blackTheatre (BT) ceased cheering rainbowDash (RD)
You are now someone else.
=== Enter name: Depressive Cockroach
Wrong again. You are Jordan Calishank and you've just woken up. You are fairly sure all of your friends are already up and starting the game now. You sent a copy to Calisker so he could play with everyone.
You open a chat with the first person you always talk to when you get up.
pacifisticInstrumentalist (PI) began trolling blackTheatre (BT)
PI: Good morning! :)
BT: Hello! :)
PI: Have you started the game yet?
BT: We're just starting to get everyone in
BT: You're going to be my server player! :)
PI: Who's going to be mine?
BT: Miss Graner
BT: You'll be in good hands
PI: I'm sure she'll do a great job.
PI: :P
PI: So, who is getting in now?
BT: Calisker is working on it
BT: Then our troll friend is next
PI: Sounds like fun.
PI: Let's get going!
PI: How can I help?
BT: We need to figure out how to get Calisker in
BT: Maybe you can talk to him and figure something out
BT: I need to get Miss Graner and our troll friend ready
BT: So they can get in the game
PI: I got it.
PI: I'll update you when we figure it out.
BT: Great!
BT: Bye bye!
PI: Bye. :)
You need to get in touch with Calisker to get him into the game.
pacifisticInstrumentalist (PI) began cheering rainbowDash (RD)

RD: trs a pedestal thing
PI: Try putting it there.
PI: Does anything happen?
RD: it made a little rainbow shaped thing
PI: Pick it up.
rainbowDash (RD) ceased trolling pacifisticInstrumentalist (PI)
You are Calisker, and you pick up the object you just made.
== Taste the rainbow.
You see a bright flash come from outside and suddenly everything is dark again. You walk over to your windows and look outside. It appears to be dusk. You see a huge field with a large number of ponies and horses grazing around it. It is the Land of Equines and Growth. You get back on the computer.
rainbowDash (RD) began trolling blackTheatre (BT)
RD: made it
BT: Great job :)
BT: We need to get our troll friend in now
BT: Can you help her do that?
RD: yeah
RD: just giv me a min
rainbowDash (RD) ceased trolling blackTheatre (BT)
== Be the troll friend.
You don't refer to yourself as that.
== Be Isobel.
That's better.
A strange machine appears next to your computer station. It looks like something's in it.
== Open it.
You pry the top off. An orb floats out. It scuttles around your room. At that moment your lusus walks into your room, making a funny noise. The orb runs straight into it. It is now goatmom sprite.
rainbowDash (RD) began jeering amethystFlames (AF)
RD: im in
RD: bt told me to get u in
AF: So how do you do it
RD: take the cardy thing
RD: and put it in the slot on the lathe
AF: Done
RD: now put the blu thing in the spt
AF: You mean the one from the first thing
RD: i guess
AF: It just carved it
RD: yeah
RD: now take the thing and put it on the pedestal thing
RD: i put it on the roof
AF: Why did you put it up there
RD: cuz it looked cool
AF: Fine
amethystFlames (AF) ceased trolling rainbowDash (RD)
You captchalogue your small portable computer with your random bag modus. It is shaped like a bow. You easily retrieve it from the bag because it is the only thing available. You put it in your hair and start up the stairs. You periodically strike silly poses and meow on the landings, but you reach the top soon enough.
You see the machine Calisker put down. It has a spot that looks perfect to place the carved blue thing on. You set it down and a droplet appears on the big platform. it is a blue solid, not a liquid. You gently pick it up, hold your hands out in front of you, and let it fall. In that moment, you blink. You hear the sound of a water droplet hitting the floor. When you open your eyes, you are in a bright place. You look around to see your hive is on a tall earthen platform. There is a glass walkway that extends far into the distance. There is also an arch over it where it begins. You look up to see where the light is coming from. There are three suns of differing sizes in the sky. You see a fourth, but it is dim and almost grey in color. Huh.
You are in the Land of Clarity and Glass. There are rings with complex patterns floating in various locations around the place. There is one very high above your hive. You think it is the closest one. You wonder what it could be. BT might know. You tap a button on your bow and open a chat log.
amethystFlames (AF) began trolling blackTheatre (BT)
AF: Im in
AF: And there are these huge circle things
AF: Any idea what they are
BT: That's good!
BT: They might be portals or something
BT: For now, though, we need to get Miss Graner into the game
AF: Ok
AF: I can do that
BT: Have fun!
