Mike : Approach balcony.

You approach the balcony, and gave upwards into the sky. On any normal night, the sky would be nice and clear, brimming with stars, interrupted only by the snowflakes drifting from above. Alas, tonight is different.

You retrieve your telescope from your telescopekind strife deck, and set it down on your telescope stand, gazing through it into the sky. You catch a quick glimpse of a flare, probably a meteor's tail, before it disappears from your vision.

You're certain something is going on here. A few moments ago you saw an unusually large meteor in the earth's atmosphere, hurtling down to the far east of where you live, and now you've seen another?

You should probably notify somebody about this.

Mike : Notify somebody.

Restoring your computer from its slumber, you quickly bring up pesterchum, and open up messaging faculties within it. You begin a conversation with a chum.

[UE]: Please be there, Kav, please..

[MD]: whattaya want [stop]

[MD]: shit the codey thing doesn't feel natural when you started the conv [stop]

[MD]: goddamn it this better be important to risk losing my mojo [stop]

[UE]: Alright, I was looking into the night sky

[UE]: and I saw a massive meteor

[UE]: it flew over my house and continued eastwards

[UE]: then I saw another one in the sky

[MD]: shit man really?

[MD]: crap i thought time was limited but not this bloody much!

[MD]: y0u saw it yourself, didn't you?

[MD]: in your weird golden world dream

[UE]: How did you knwo about that?

[UE]: Have you been spying on me?

[MD]: n0t t3ll1ng yu0 ny M0Dus OP3rat1

[MD]: but it was the same as this, wasn't it?

[UE]: Are you telling me my dream was some sort of prophecy?

[MD]: i dont know anything about why or how you had that dream

[MD]: my s0urc3 coD3 informs me s0o0o

[UE]: I'll close this chat before your terrible keyboard ends up glitching into my pc

[MD]: good idea [stop]

[MD]: and by the way, when i send you a weird game in a few minutes

[MD]: y0u b33Tr p!4y iT.

Mike: Mull over thoughts.

You retrieve a CUSHION from your ORBIT MODUS by grabbing it as its orbit reaches your hand.

Impending probable doom isn't exactly the easiest thing to deal with, and you've had enough things to deal with as it is. It's hard to keep up a facade that everything is ok, when it's not, and you're not quite sure you want your life to end as you are now.

Fulfilling your necessary introspective time, you quickly sit up, replace the cushion on your bed, and await the games sending from your friend.

Mike : Be Bríd.

You are now Bríd. You can hear some really weird noises outside your house. It sounds like some dog is going mad out there, constantly either barking or whimpering.

You would be able to get a good look at it, had you not closed off the only window in your room with an extra bookshelf years ago. Nice thinking, smartass.

It seems like someone is messaging you again. You should probably answer that.

Bríd : Rip off copy of Beowulf and consume it.

You would never do such a thing! This scroll-based copy of Beowulf is very dear to your heart. You wouldn't even dare to think of sullying its integrity…...except you just did.

The stress must be getting to you. That dog still won't shut up and messages are still going through from one of your chums.

Bríd : Answer chum.

[MD]: brid are you there?

[MD]: brid answer me [stop]

[MD]: screw it, i'll put it here anyway

-missingDll [MD] attached a file : %58UR8%.zip-

[MD]: make sure to extract it

[MD]: b33 suuuuuuRe 2 PuT " " iN th3 smae flOd3r aS " " aND "oVer1de.~ath"

[MD]: s0rry lemme kick my c0mputer [5t0p]]]]

[MD]: better?

[MD]: ok so its " " not whatever the glitch says up there

[MD]: the ath files name is that glitch though

[DT]: I'm here. And what even is an ~ath file?

[MD]: i thought you had read books on coding [stop]

[DT]: Yeah, I have...wait, how did you know that?

[MD]: not important

[MD]: just install the g0dddD4mN f1les

[MD]: h0Ok uP w1th m1kes serve r c0py [st0p]

[MD]: and to answer your question partially

[MD]: the ath file is there to try and stop the glitches from infecting your pc

[DT]: But you promised you wouldn't send me glitched up virus files!

[MD]: 1 maY h4v3 acC1d3ntl;y %infected% teh mane executable

[MD]: why is my keyboard so shitty

[MD]: also i promised you nothing

[DT]: Your keyboard's state is your own fault, and you know it.

[DT]: You will get no sympathy from me.

[MD]: just run the goddamn file

You do as he says, and extract the zip onto a folder on your desktop. You run a quick virus scan on it, but the code is so glitched up the anti-virus doesn't detect anything. According to it, this folder is empty.

Needless to say, you better get this show on the road. You double click the exe to begin installation of its main files, and you ready your pesterchum to give the signal to your friend.
