Aw yeah! This is awesome! I just finished chatting with my friend Ymke, and if the file that she sent is legit, then this will be the best day ever! I'm in my room, downloading a file that she sent me. While I'm waiting, I may as well introduce myself.

I'm Kim. I've recently gotten into a popular webcomic, thanks to another friend of mine from America. It's really wierd so far, but I've only reached ACT 2 quite recently, so there's not much that I can judge about it so far. Well, Sburb just finished downloading, so I may as well go ahead and install it.

Just as I was about to hit install, a message popped up right over the installation window. It seemed to be from said friend from America.

XF: "Don't install it just yet!"

I gazed at the message in wonder. 'How did he know that I had a copy of the game?' Time to interrogate.

Kim: "What do you mean? Don't install what?"

XF: "You know as well as myself 'what'. Sburb, of course."

XF: "Wait to install it until Ymke messages you, asking for you to be her server."

Kim: "Okay. I think I get it."

XF: "Don't wait too long, though."

'Okay, now this is getting confusing.' Out of curiosity, I went ahead and asked the dreaded question.

Kim: "What do you mean?"

XF: "Just look at the weather channel, or an online radar."

XF: "Look just SouthWest of your location."

What odd instructions. Nevertheless, I turned on my phone, and opened it to an online radar. The area around where Ymke lives seemed to be nothing but hail, with myself being just outside the affected land. Then I scrolled over the SouthWest of the Netherlands, and my eyes widened in fear.

Kim: "HOLY SHIT!"

XF: "That's right."

To the SouthWest of the Netherlands wass a giant, swirling mass of clouds with a hole near the center. In short, we were in the direct line of a massive hurricane! Knowing that the storm was coming, anyways, I went ahead and began installing Sburb.

'Is that really who I think that is?!' I was staring at the entity that was onscreen in disbelief. I decided to consult our Sburb expert about this.

Y^,^: "Sooo, Bas came into my room and prototyped my most recent Elsa sketch. Now, his kernalSprite looks like Elsa with airplane wings."

S_X: "..."

Seeing those three dots, I knew that Bas must've fucked up, badly. I rubbed my temples, and sighed in frustration, knowing that we must've screwed up badly.

S_X: "ARE YOU GUYS INSANE?! THIS'LL MAKE NOT ONLY YOUR OWN QUESTS HARDER TO COMPLETE, BUT IT WILL LIKELY SCREW EVERYONE ELSE OVER!"

I just sat there, shocked at how angrily Chris was typing. 'Is this game really that dangerous?'

S_X: "*breathes in*"

S_X: "*breathes out*"
S_X: "Sorry about that. Okay, just make sure not to prototype anything else with it."

S_X: "Go ahead and connect with your friend."

Seeing that message, I too calmed myself down.

Y^,^: "Okay, kim. ik maak nu een connectie met je (Okay, Kim. I'm gonna connect with you now.)"

Kim: "okay, ymke. ik ben er klaar voor (Alright, Ymke! I'm waiting for ya.)"

I clicked the client button that was onscreen, and quickly found Kim's usual username: KimLeTurtle. I connected with Kim, and she immediately deleted the wall to the hallway, probably to make room for Another machine. She immediately placed another cruxtruder down, and opened it with my dresser. As the kernalSprite appeared, I immediately went to think of something to toss in there, and just as I was about to grab a pillow, I saw a cursor grab my toothless plush, and toss it in.

As soon as I connected with Ymke, I noticed that there was already one of each machine in the building, so I placed a second cruxtruder, knowing that Bas must've been connected already. After opening the machine, I had a BRILLIANT idea. I immediately grabbed one of Ymke's toothless plushies, and tossed it into the kernalSprite. 'Ooh! This guy is gonna look sooo cute!'

Once the flash of light went away, I was adoring what I've created. Onscreen, was a ghostly dark-purple dragon with stubby wings and feet. Then, remembering what we're all doing, I checked the time on the cruxtruder. '1 minute, 59 seconds?!' I immediately rose to action. I grabbed the punched card out of the registry, and dropped it into the totem lathe. Then I grabbed a cruxite dowel, and plugged it in. As the lathe carved a totem, I messaged Ymke.

Kim: "Get your ass in gear! doe het zelfde wat ik net deed met bas! (Do what I just did with Bas!)"

I saw Ymke run to her computer, so I removed the card, seeing as the carving was done, and plopped the carved totem onto the alchemiter. I made one of what looked to be a Tiger plushie. Ymke went over to the alchemiter right afterward, and replaced the totem with another one of a different shape. She then achemised a stick, and handed it to Bas.I checked the clock. '30 seconds?!' As quickly as I could, I zoomed out, to find a giant hail-ball heading towards the house.

As soon as I zoomed in, I saw Ymke rip apart the plush with a knife, while Bas snapped the stick in half, and the screen froze.
