== Be Nick Allen!
I ran into my room and sat down at my desk. I quickly put the Sburb client disk into my computer and checked to see who was online. Luckily, all of my friends had gotten the game as well, and were installing it as we speak. This was going to be a lot of fun. I joined their chat room.
blueSkies began chatting with sapphirePrincess, glorifiedFallen, lightningRaine, ceruleanDarkstar, MistressRuby, and greenEmerald.
BS: Hey guys! Happy birthday Evie! Oh yeah, and I finally got the game!
SP: Thanks Nick! My 15th birthday's been great, and now we finnaly get to play the game!
GF: Can we hurry up and play this game already? I'm really excited about it.
LR: I am too Zack, but maybe you should let me explain some more first.
CD: What haven't you told us, April?
LR: I'm getting to that, Davin. I was contacted by The Illemise again.
MR: April! We told you to stay away from that creepy weirdo stalker! He's completely insane, saying that he's an all-powerful alien and that playing this game will save the universe or something? I thought you reported that guy!
LR: I didn't. I decided to listen to him, and he had some interesting things to say. But, I'll explain them to you later. And Sally, don't be so narrow-minded, ok?
MR: I am not narrow-minded, I'm just the only sane girl here. But, whatever.
GE: I think that this game isn't going to be anything like we think it will be.
BS: Kay, I got a feeling that you're right.
LR: By the way, Nick, Evie, have you heard anything from those lame internet trolls? They only seem to contact you guys.
BS: Well, AA says she wanted to video chat with me, and that it was important.
SP: RV just won't leave me alone, no matter what I do. I've tried blocking him, but for some reason it won't work.
GF: So, April, what do we do first?
LR: We connect to each other and deploy the game's essential items. Then, we all prototype our sprites and go to the medium.
BS: None of us know what that means, but ok! Let's get started.
blueSkies ended the chat.
== Be Evie Knight!
I'm sitting down on my bed, typing on my laptop. I'm connecting with Nick as his server player right now, and I'm installing the client disk so Zack can be my server player. Suddenly, I get a message. It's her.
amazingAlpha began trolling sapphirePrincess.
AA: Hello, Evie darling! How are you doing today? Wait, don't answer that, I already know, It's your birthday! Congradulations, my dear!
SP: Ugh why won' you just bug off?
AA: Now, is that really a way to treat your best friend?
SP: I'm not you're never going to be my best friend you're just a jerk, a stalker, and a troll!
AA: I find that racist.
SP: Ugh you are not an alien troll you're a human girl who belongs in an asylum. Now please just tell me what you need to tell me, and leave me alone.
AA: You are very, very dumb. Yes, very, very dumb and ugly, and there is no way that Nick boy will ever like you, because he *obviously* likes ME.
SP: No he doesn't. He only likes you when you're using your weird witchy stuff on him. I'm not sure how you do it, but I know you have him under a spell or something.
AA: As a Witch of Heart and a lime blood, I do indeeed have a lot of power, especially in the realms of emotions. And since I'm a god tier, I have even more power. Soon, I'll destroy you all! HA!
SP: Look, please say what you need to say and leave me and all of my friends alone!
AA: I've come to tell you your mythological role. The Illemise hasn't revealed it to you yet, has he?
SP: No, and I don't care. I'll find out myself.
AA: You are a witch, like me. :)
SP: NO I'M NOTHING LIKE YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME.
AA: You are a Witch of Void, a fitting title for you. Void means nothing, and that's exactly what you are, and what you'll always be. Nothing. :)
SP: I'm going to wipe that smile off your face once we meet.'
AA: Ha ha ha, foolish, immature child, you don't even comprehend what great danger you're facing. You'll be the first to die.
amazingAlpha ceased trolling sapphirePrincess.
Thank god that was over. She always gets on my nerves. She knows exactly what to say to upset me. It's actually really wierd. I checked my screen again.
Great, I was connected. I quickly deployed the Cruxtruder, Totem Lathe, Alchemiter, Punch Designix, and the pre-punched card. Everything was going great.
== Be Zack Holly!
I'm on my Iphone, in the process of connecting to Evie as her server player and April as the client player. I'm listening to Linkin Park, my favorite dude ever, and I get a message.
ravenVague began trolling glorifiedFallen.
RV: Hey dude, what's up?
GF: Nothing much bro! What's up where you're at?
RV: The other trolls, especially Amirda, are getting really wierd. I'm sort of scared, honestly. I've never really seen them like this.
GF: Well, wish I could help, but I can't. Is there any particular reason you contacted me?
RV: Yeah I wanted to tell you your role, like the other trolls are doing with other players. You're a Prince of Doom.
GF: An awesome name for an awesome dude. By the way, what's your role?
RV: I'm the Bard of Life.
GF: That sounds terrible.
RV: Yeah, it is. It means to allow the destruction of Life.
GF: That sounds like a destroyer class or something.
RV: It is. You're a destroyer tooo. That's what Prince means. You destroy death.
GF: ...
RV: Bards, Princes, Rouges, and Theives of Doom are very rare, and among the most powerful of the normal classes. You have the potential for greatness, but you also have the potential for great destruction. Those four classes, paired with the aspect of Doom, can ressurect the dead at will once they reach their full potential. You are very special.
GF: So how do I unlock this super-special raising people from the dead power?
RV: The answer is simple.
GF: Ok...what is it?
RV: I don't know!
GF: Dude, I am about to punch you. Where are you!?
RV: I'm on Zoth, where I've always been.
GF: Wait, but I thought trolls were from Alternia or whatever?
RV: They are, but my planet was destroyed. Us four surviving trolls are living on Zoth, a planet in another universe, inhabited by the Zothinians. They're about to begin their session of the game as well.
GF: Ok, cool. Have you trolls finished your session?
RV: Yes. We're all god tier. All four of us.
GF: Ok, I guess you'll explain to me what that means later.
RV: Precisely.
GF: Well, what do Zothinians look like again?
RV: They look remarkably like humans. So much that I believe they may have been created from the same session. The Zothinians being created by the pre-scratch and you humans being created by the post-scratch. Except they have purple hair and skin, and dark blue eyes. This is due to constant exposure to a material called Zothite, which can enhance alchemically created items.
GF: Cool! Does that mean you have purple hair too?
RV: No. Trolls seem to have an immunity to that aspect, or maybe we just repel Zothite in general.
GF: Why are you guys even "trolling" us anyway?
RV: Jack Noir.
GF: What?
RV: Your session's Jack Noir from the future. He has formed a contract with us. We will both help you and interfere with your session, so you will not become a threat to Lord English's rule, and he will spare the Zothinian's universe. Of course, you're not much of a threat anyway.
GF: Okay, I get it now. But when we meet...I'll kill you if you hurt any of us. I don't care about whoever the hell Jack Noir is. And why aren't we a threat anyway? And who's Lord English?
RV: Oh. Our timeline is the ZetaOmega timeline. Didn't you know that? Lord English is the big bad.
GF: What?
RV: The Alpha timeline is the real timeline. There are 24 different trolls and 8 different humans that live there. They're the real threats. The ZetaOmega timeline is the timeline that's the least real. Your life is the biggest lie in existence. You're the most expendable being in the universe. You'll never be strong enough to defeat even half of Lord English's minions! No matter what you do, you're all unimportant and in fact, even all of your combined powers are laughable. You'll never meet the real heroes, and you'll never win!
GF: I don't believe that. When there's a will, there's a way.
RV: Well, I have to go talk to Amirda. She's such a good helper. Later, loser.
ravenVague ceased trolling glorifiedFallen.
I didn't let what he said get to me. I garuntee you he's lying to troll us. Except, I think he was telling the truth about my role. Somehow, I know that's not a lie. I checked the download. I had connected. I deployed all of the game's nessasary items and waited for April to connect with me.
== Be April Lane!
I was in my room, connecting to Zack as server player and Davin as the client player. I was wondering what I was going to prototype my sprite with, and what else The Illemise was hiding from me. He said he would contact me some time today, and I suppose he was going to do it soon. I already knew most of the stuff but I needed to figure out the rest. I checked the time. It was 3:01. Like I thought I would, I got a message from him.
TheIllemise began cheering lightningRaine.
TI: Hey April!
LR: Hi! So is this the talk where you tell me everything I need to know?
TI: I'll tell you more, ok? I'll go ahead and start. But first, you ask questions.
LR: What race are you, what's your role, and have you reached the god tier?
TI: I am a Cherub, and a Prince of Blood. I reached the god tier very, very long ago.
LR: Ok then. What's the Furthest Ring thing you were telling me about?
TI: The Furthest Ring is the afterlife. It's the infinite space that seperates sessions, a void outside of all universes, and due to that,
it's outside of all timelines as well. It's home to a large number of Eldrich Abominations, also known as the Horrorterrors. It's where I currently reside,
and where the six of the Alpha Heroes currently reside as well. But, I'm on the completely oposite side of the ring from them...I think.
LR: Cool!
TI: As for your role, you are a Seer of Heart. You have a lot of power inside you...you are very special, and you will be the main reason for the session's final outcome.
LR: Ok...
TI: And, once you prototype your sprites and enter the Medium, you have to explore your planets and find your first gates. I'll explain the gates in more detail, ok?
LR: Ok.
TI: I'll use Nick as an example. He is the first player, and thus has the first planet. His first gate leads to the second planet, Evie's planet. Her first gate on that planet is Nick's second gate, and it will lead them to Zack's planet, and so on. After each player goes through all seven gates and planets,
they will talk to and face their Denizens. Once you all go through all seven gates, you'll gain the ability to vist the planets at will. Then, I'll instruct you on how to reach the god tiers.
LR: Ok, it was nice talking to you!
TI: It's always nice to talk to someone else. It makes me feel more...complete.
LR: Huh?
TI: My sister died a long time ago. She was always a real bitch, but deep down inside I loved her anyway. My friends, the other players of this session, are dead as well.
LR: Oh, I'm sorry!
TI: It was 250,000 years ago.
LR: What?
TI: When you go god tier, you can choose to stop aging. I'm 250,020 years old, but physically I'm 18.
LR: Wow, that's really confusing.
TI: It's ok. This game will have a lot more confusing stuff in the future. Well, I have to go now. Talk to you later April!
LR: Cya Ile!
TheIllemise ceased cheering lightningRaine.
This was great. I had connected Zack and Davin was in the process of connecting to me. I deployed all those thing-a-ma-jigs we needed. Nothing could possibly ruin all the fun we were going to have.
== Be Davin Romero!
I was in the process of connecting with April and Sally. I was waiting for that other troll dude to start trolling me. He said he had important things to say. I checked my messages and waited a minute. One had just been sent to me. I answered it, not really knowing what to expect.
ametaratsuVicoda began trolling ceruleanDarkstar.
AV: Hello...Davin.
CD: Hey troll, what'cha trolling?
AV: Ugh stop with the troll puns.
CD: But they're really punny!
AV: Shut up. Dude, just, shut, up.
CD: Fine. So, what did you want to talk about?
AV: I'm going to tell you your role. Honestly I think you're probably the least important person in your session; you're only there because you have to be.
CD: ...whatever, just tell me. And what's your role?
AV: You're the Page of Time. Me, I'm the Heir of Time. Should I explain?
CD: Page sounds like a lame class.
AV: It is. It's the lamest. You NEVER get ANY good powers until so much later on in the game that they aren't even worth waiting for. You're going to need a lot of weapons; your powers won't save you.
CD: I'm not being stuck with a retarded class like that.
AV: Well, you just did. I'm the Heir of Time. Heirs are under the protection of their aspect, until they learn how to influence it. It's a passive class,
like yours is. So if I ever get in danger I'll like time travel or something to save myself.
CD: I wish I had your class.
AV: Yeah it's a lot cooler.
CD: brb.
I saw that I had connected to the others and deployed whatever those things were called. I then went back to the conversation.
CD: Well, thanks. You're a lot more helpful than the other trolls.
AV: Well I don't like doing what you humans call trolling. It's not my thing. I do have one more thing to tell you though.
CD: What?
AV: GO TO SLEEP, ASSHOLE.
ceruleanDarkstar has been put to sleep by ametaratsuVicoda.
AV: Ha ha ha. Sweet dreams. Or should I say unpleasant nightmares?
AV: YOU JUST GOT TROLLED, BITCH!
AV: TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOL OLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOOLOLOLOL!
ametaratsuVicoda ceased trolling ceruleanDarkstar.
== Page: Awaken as your dream self on Derse.
I woke up on Derse, wearing my usual weird purple PJ's. I, like all of the other players in my session, had awakened before we started playing. I woke up last week. I floated outside my window and looked up. I didn't like looking up at the sky and seeing the Horrorterrors. To be honest, they scared me a lot.
But, I looked anyway.
There as a gigantic Horrorterror looking right at me. It was impossibly gigantic. It whispered to me.
"Page of Time...I have a suggestion for you. Come closer, so that I can help you..." it whispered.
"Who are you...and what do you want? I asked, somewhat fearfully.
"Do not be affraid, child, I am Adammisss...I am here to help you regain what you have lost..." Adammisss said.
"What are you talking about?" I asked. I reluctantly came closer. I almost left Derse trying to reach out to it. It spoke again.
"Would you like to become powerful?" Adammisss asked.
"It depends." I said.
"You are a very, very clever young man...I will give you what you want, but it will come with a price." Adammisss stated simply.
"Ok, then, what's your price, and what exactly are my powers?" I asked.
"I want you to set me free...and give me your seal...and I will unlock your potential, and more. Give you more power than you could ever dream. You would be a warrior capable of absolutely anthing." Adammisss replied.
"I don't know what a seal is, and how can I set you free when you aren't even trapped? I don't care. I say no." I answered.
"Then die, foolish human child!" Adammisss cried. There was a darkness. An explosion. And a cry of fear and despair. And that's how my dream self died.
== Be the Rouge of Space!
I'm Sally Scott, the Rouge of Space. I'm not really sure if I should be playing this game, because it's going to be tough for me. Why? I'm not able to walk,
so I'm in a wheelchair. That's because of an accident when I was little that I'd rather not talk about. I'm wearing a cool mask too, but that's not because of the accident or anything. It's because I love cosplaying.
I hadn't been able to talk to any of the others except for that first conversation. Hadn't heard from any of them at all. Maybe if I went to sleep,
Prospit's clouds would show me something...
== Sally: Begin your epic journey by taking a nap.
== Sally: Be Kay Crisp.
I finished connecting with Sally and Nick. We were all connected and ready to start the game, and I think we had all opened up our Cruxruders too. I was looking around my room, trying to find something to prototype my sprite with. I couldn't really think of anything, but I wanted it to be something that wouldn't power up the enemies as much. I mean, I had Jerry, my pet chinchilla, but I didn't want to prototype him. He was too cute for that.
But I didn't have anything else to prototype my sprite with, and it needed to be prototyped. Besides, Jerry had been sick lately, so maybe being prototyped would heal him. I stared at my yellow kernelsprite and then looked back at Jerry. I reluctantly opened his cage. He jumped into the sprite, and there was a flash of light.
(Show Spritelog)
JERRYSPRITE: Hey, I can talk now! SQUEAK! Hi Kay!
KAY: Hi Jerry! Are you feeling better?
JERRYSPRITE: I feel great! I feel so...alive! SQUEAK!
KAY: Wait, why are you glowing green?
JERRYSPRITE: Because I'm your First Gaurdian, DUH! SQUEAK!
KAY: I don't know what that means, but ok, whatever!
JERRYSPRITE: SQUEAK! SQUEAK!
KAY: Well, we have work to do. So, you're a sprite, you know stuff. So, please tell me what to do.
JERRYSPRITE: Ok, we have eight minutes left to use the pre-punched card and the Cruxite Dowel to create your Cruxite Object. The Dowel is in your Cruxtruder.
KAY: Okay!
JERRYSPRITE: SQUEAK! Get it done, oKAY? SQUEAK!
KAY: That wasn't punny.
JERRYSPRITE: SQUEAK!
I walked over to the Cruxtruder and pulled out my Cruxite Dowel. I checked my messages. That last troll had left me one earlier.
radiantArmageddon began trolling greenEmerald.
RA: Hi Kaaay. Uh, I'll try and keep this short and easy.
RA: You're aaa Sylph of Life, and I'm aaa Theif of Space. You pretty much heal others, with, you know, life. I steal spaaace.
RA: Glub glub.
RA: Well, I hope you guys will end up winning anywaaay, because I really don't want glubbing bad things to happen to you, you roe?
RA: I want them to happen to Jackie Chan.
RA: Wait SHIT I meant Jack Noir! Delete that!
RA: Glub.
RA: I'll cya laaater...bye...
radiantArmageddon ceased trolling greenEmerald.
I smiled. Reikai was such an unusual girl, for a troll. I always thought they were all manipulative bitches like Amirda. I went about doing what I needed to do and created my Cruxite Object, the Cruxite Necklace. I threw it and shattered it on the ground. And just like that, I was in The Medium.
