Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Gundam Wing. I don't make a profit off of it or anything.
I do not own Trisphee! I may be a mod, I may design some items but I don't own it. I get nothing out of this.. except maybe a few new friends.
A.N. So, once again I haven't updated in a while. Well this time I had a good reason and it's not because I was lazy! One of my aunts called my mom and was all like, "Hey dad's dieing he wants to see you" so mom freaked out and we went to visit family for 2 whole months. Now.. since I didn't take my laptop along (I don't trust my family... so yea nothing expensive went with me) I couldn't write any chapters. And before you ask. Yes they had a computer but I didn't use it for two reasons. One it was really slow. Two, my family is so homophobic it's not funny. If they found my account, or half the stuff I wrote, I'd get more verbal abuse from them then normal (which is a lot.)
Anywho, I'm back and very busy on Trisphee right now but I will make time to try to update.
Summary: While playing an MMO, Duo finds out about a new avatar site. Intrigued by this site he checks it out and joins only to have his life turned upside down by a few other users. 1x2, 3x4, 5x6. Yaoi. You have been warned.
Dedicated to – Lucid, Coda, pattyard, and Quiet Man Cometh who cheer me on when I need it.
Chapter 3
375k Goal!
Wufei sighed as he threw the finished notebook of math homework to the side. He hated math. The subject was a migraine just waiting for you to come along and give it a try. Fractions, percentages, to the power of something. It made no sense to him but luckily he got good marks in the class. Christmas vacation was almost over and he hated doing homework during vacations. But now with all homework finished, he and his friends can play their games for the rest of the duration of freedom.
Looking over at his computer, wondered if the site reached it's next posting goal. The Taskal War was coming to an end and if they reached 375,000 posts before it was over they would receive special items for free. The first two items were already handed out for reaching 325k and 350k posts, now they were just 5k off of 375,000. He wanted that free item. Free was always good. If you wanted to buy more of the items you would have to use event currency, which he was saving for that last item to come out.
Wufei knew he was addicted to the site, and from the looks of it Duo (Deathscythe) and Quatre (Sandrock) were as well. Quatre had donated $500 to the site and had given Duo half of the runes he received. Both of the boys sold most of their half of the Runes to users who couldn't donate and then dumped the funds they got into the active charities that were running. One of them being the Mod, Demonskid's Charity named "10,000 Cat Paws Charity."
That particular moderator he would never under stand. Demonskid and her partner in crime, Lucid. They were everywhere. They would talk about almost everything, even something about motherships and alien 'moo-cows' that Lucid had somehow hidden under her bed. At one point the conversation was about 'boob pudding' and 'sharpie sniffers.' It confused the hell out of him.
Giving his computer another longing glance he shook his head. Heero and Trowa were bound to arrive after they finished their own homework. The three of them were going to play World of Warcraft together when they got here, so getting on to the ever addicting site known as Trisphee was a no go. But, the laptop on his table top was calling out to him. The screen-saver of little gundams he made danced across the screen. The keyboard begging him to log on to Trisphee and help the other users reach the posting goal.
Sitting down in the chair at the table, he shifted his mouse so the dancing Shenlong Gundams would dissipate and his desktop would appear. He would log off when he heard the door bell ring. Typing into the log in box of the site, Wufei logged on and found the hangout thread he felt comfortable in and jumped into the conversation. Deathscythe and Sandrock were already in there chatting away. For some reason they were talking about mens underpants.
"Always in the Brothel can the conversation be weird." Wufei mumbled before jumping in with his own post.
"For me it depends on if I have gym class or not. If its gym day then I am wearing briefs, if its study hall its boxers." Satisfied with his post he moved on to the next thread he frequented. It was one of the threads in the event section. The owner gave out free avatar art to random people. After posting in that thread he returned to the Brothel to see that Scythe had posted a response.
"I agree with wearing something on gym day. Dude ya never know what would happen if you go in there all comando. I prefer to wear nothing under but sadly I live in a foster home so I 'have' to wear my boxers or else the youngins would mimic me. I can't even sleep nude unless it's one of the rare occasions that I am home alone for a night or two." Wufei snorted. He just learned a new thing about his classmate.
"Talking about underwear on the internet? I didn't know you were a briefs boy Wufei." The dark haired boy spun around in his chair to meet the sparkling emerald eyes of Trowa and the hardened colbat eyes of Heero. Heero moved closer and took a look at the site he was on.
"Apparently the forum he's in is called 'The Brothel,' meant for perverts on the interweb. Didn't know you were a closet perv Wufei. Nor did I know you were into dolls. This site is a virtual doll site." Heero commented, teasing his friend.
"It's an avatar site and its very addictive. When did you two get here?" Black eyes pleaded for a subject change as he tried to log out. Trowa stopped him.
"We just now got here. Your sister let us in. These things remind me of the paper dolls Cathy used to play with." The unibanged boy stated.
"Like I said, virtual dolls." Heero deadpanned.
"What about them? I over heard two classmates go on and on about the site so out of sheer boredom I checked it out and I've been having fun on the site. The mods are weird and friendly, the admins talk to you, you don't feel left out and the community is small and easy going." trying his best to defend himself he went on. "Instead of poking fun at the site, why not try it out and see if you like it at all. I'll even give you some stuff." Trowa shrugged and looked over to Heero who glared at the laptop's screen.
Heero grabbed his laptop from its bag and turned it on. "Whats the domain name?" Trowa followed suit and turned on his laptop while Wufei recited the link to the boys.
"When you get on, you better post. I want the site to hit 375k posts. I want that last free item. You get a second free item if you guess what they are. I failed each time but Deathscythe and Sandrock got them right. Kinda pissed me off."
"Deathscythe? Sandrock?" Trowa asked.
"Two of the users on the site. They hang out with the moderator known as Demonskid. Others call her DK. She's.. an oddball half the time." The Chinese boy answered. He walked his two friends through the stages of signing up, making sure that he was the one placed in the referral box.
Heero chose his user name to be "Wing" and Trowa was calling himself "Heavy Arms" both names were actual nicknames from gym class when they practiced wrestling. Heero was so light yet strong, where when Trowa's arms got a hold of you they felt like steal vices that won't budge.
Two hours later found all three boys posting away, chatting with Lucid, DK, Scythe and Sand. Amazingly Heero had this thing of needing to obtain everything that was on the site, and Trowa seemed to want everything green. Wufei at one point commented on how there was an artist who loved the color green too.
Many people were online, it was hard to keep up but all were determined to get to that 375k goal. By 9 PM they had a small scare. The post count went over 380k then back down to 324k. Users were starting to talk about it, one seemed to freak out. Demonskid jumped in telling everyone that the staff knew about the anomaly and that the coder was looking into it. It turned out that something went wrong with the backup but it was fixed within moments.
Demonskid commented in the Brothel that the experience of trying to keep users calm was one of the most scariest things that had ever happened. But she felt useful. Apparently she was friends with the site owner and loved trying to help out where ever and when ever she could.
Finally at 11:30PM the post goal had been reached. Coda came on to praise everyone, Demonskid threw some virtual confetti as she got 2 of the 'Zypher's Companion' items. Wufei cheered as he went and looked at his inventory.
"Wufei, looks like Heero and I will be sleeping here tonight, I need to call my parents to let them know." Wufei nodded as both Heero and Trowa left the room. Minutes later all three boys bid a good night to the site of Trisphee and went to bed.
That's it for now guys. I couldn't remember when that post count scare really happened (I think it was when we were going after the 350k post goal) but I put it here for the final post goal.
You might not hear from me till about next month. I have staff stuff to do. Feel free to join and chat with me though. (put Demonskid down as the person who referred you)
