Trollhood
Chapter 2
You go downstairs to go check the mail, but you are confronted by something before you can even reach the door knob. It's your older Sis, with her pet bird, Keiro. She's got this big thing for animals and stuff, she even got you a cat.
She won't let you pass, and Keiro squawks at you. You look around for a diversion. Your cat, Zaciel, is laying on the couch. You quickly pick him up, whisper a quick apology to him, and toss him at Keiro. Sis, being this huge peace-lover, goes to stop them from fighting. You take that chance to get out the door, grab everything in the mailbox and run right back upstairs before anybody notices. Zaciel quickly follows behind, obviously sore about getting thrown. You spot your laptop and see that someone is pestering you. You then answer them.
"TT began pestering UT.
TT: Hey, did you get Sburb Beta yet?
UT: Yep! I just got it! I was just about to load it :3
TT: How about we play it together? John, Dave, Jade, you, and me. John's already started, and I'm his server player.
TT: Dave said he would be mine, so you can be his.
UT: Okay, that works :3
UT: Should I tell him?
TT: I think it's best if you don't. Heheh.
UT: Haha, okay :3
TT: Be careful with him though. I will message you when you can load your server disk.
UT: I will! Take care~
UT ceased being pestered by TT."
Rose is a bit boring to talk to, but is very informative. She always lets you know what's going on. And it turns out Jade is your server player, whatever that means.
Someone else is pestering you. Without looking at who it is, you answer.
"CU began trolling UT.
UT: Hello?
CU: hello.
UT: Ugh, another troll.
CU: wha+'s +ha+ supposed +o mean?
UT: Haha, you type funny!
UT: But that's not the point.
UT: Why are you talking to me?
CU: !+ seems +ha+ your +!mel!nes are !n+er+w!ned w!+h ours, so ! +hough+ !'d make some fr!endly rela+!ons.
UT: Umm, cool? So you're not here to yell at me or anything?
CU: correc+.
UT: Well, I guess that's cool. Let's formally meet each other! My name's Reva Selphy~ What's your's?
CU: Quaras. Quaras Par!ah
UT: Cool name! :3 Where're you from?
CU: Al+ern!a
UT: Haha, where's that?
CU: many galax!es away from you. !+'s +he name of a plane+.
UT: So you're telling me you're an alien?
CU: +o you, pre++y much.
UT: An alien that deals with time?
CU: sor+ of.
UT: Haha, are you a Timelord? Like Doctor Who!
CU: wha+ +he fuck are you +alk!ng abou+?
UT: Wow, if you don't know who Doctor Who is, then you really are an alien. Would you like me to take you to my leader? Lol.
CU: from wha+ ! know, +ha+ !s an ex+remely cl!che phrase. so no.
UT: Lolol, okay. Sorry! What's your race called?
CU: +rolls.
UT: You're kidding.
CU: no, !'m no+.
UT: That explains why the other guy said he was a troll! :D
CU: o+her guy?
UT: Yeah! This loud-mouthed douche with gray text.
CU: +ha+ was probably Karka+.
UT: He's got a cool name, too! :3 I'll surprise him next time~
UT: Well, have you ever played Sburb?
CU: sor+ of.
CU: !'ll expla!n every+h!ng la+er. you'll be bo+hered by one of your fr!ends !n a m!nu+e."
And sure enough, Dave is pestering you again.
"UT: Wow, that was cool! :3
CU: see?
CU: now wa!+ for me +o con+ac+ you, !ns+ead of you look!ng for me. !+'s eas!er +ha+ way.
UT: Sure thing!
UT: I'll see you in a bit then, Quaras! 3
UT ceased being trolled by CU."
That one was nice. Serious, but nice.
You answer Dave again.
"TG began pestering UT.
TG: dont tell me youre my server player
UT: Haha, you heard?
TG: only because i insisted that rose tell me
TG: just dont go through all my stuff like a freak ok
UT: That's something a sick person would do!
UT: …but I'll try not to ;)
TG: ugh
TG: why you
TG: i mean
TG: at least im not stuck with jade
TG: but really
UT: Hey, it wasn't exactly my idea, either! Rose set us up like that.
UT: Not my fault :P
TG: whatever
TG: i have to go figure out how to work these damn controls
TG: you already know the whole server set-up right?
UT: I think so!
TG: good
TG: youll be with jade
TG: im sure youre just shitting yourself with joy
TG: ill see you later
UT: Mkay~
TG ceased pestering UT."
Wonderful. Dave will definitely be an insufferable prick with you. But you don't mind, you know how to deal with him. You only have to wait a little while before Rose tells you to enter the game. Zaciel sits on your window sill, right next to you. You pet his head gently, and he purrs in return.
