We now go to the characters who haven't gotten enough attention, Jon and Jeremy!
Skype Call:
JB - So what now?
JC - Wow, I thought Brandon literally screamed this to everyone by now. You need to go to your first gate.
JB - Dude, I just muted Brandon when he started to yell at Alex for "being incompetent" and "fucking being an idiot."
JC - Well, he wants us all to build up our homes and get to our planets. Some bulsht like that.
JB - So why are we listening to that asshole in the first place?
JC - Because his "orders" are things we have to do anyway to progress.
JB - So, we're just doing it 'cause we have to?
JC - Yeah, pretty much.
JB - So, where is this "first gate"?
JC - It's up the fucking stairs Alex should have added to your home!
JB - So why did you call me?
JC - Because you haven't built up my house to the first gate!
JB - Oh, okay. I'll do that.
Skype Call End
You now understand why Brandon has taken to yelling at Mark and Alex more than usual. It's because these assholes are impossible to convince to accomplish anything.
As you walk to the stairs you heard being attached to your house(at least you hope they're stairs) you see your sprite eating out of his food bowl. Apparently while he may be half cat, half Chrom, he still needs to eat.
"Hey, Rogue!" You hear the voice in your head say
"What IS?"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to my first gate. One of my teammates is being a huge bitch about us reaching our planets."
"Oh, the Land of Candy and Flight. It's been a long time since I've been."
"You've been to my planet?"
"Yeah, I was Prospitian soldier, as the name implies."
"Insubordinate Soldier?"
"Yes, that name."
"Why are you called that? You never told me."
"Well, my story is a short yet sad one. Would you like me to tell you?"
"Yeah, it's kinda why I asked!"
"It all started when I was deployed to The Battlefield," he said, his voice growing distant, "Me and my squad had never known a true battle before. We had always been sent on patrol missions. When we arrived we were deployed to the front lines. It was only later that I found that one of the consorts from your planet snuck onto the ship we boarded."
"My planet?"
"Yes, I was deployed in your planet before The Battlefield. Anyway, it was a child, to young to know where she was. We were told to retreat, but I went for the child. I couldn't leave a little kid in a warzone. Well, that went against my orders. When I returned to the camp with the kid I was discharged for insubordination and endangering a civilian."
"Wow, that sucks."
"I guess it's good that I became your exile."
"Why? Isn't it hard being an exile?"
"Well, that parts hard, but I meant that I became YOUR exile other than one of the other heroes."
"Why am I so important as a hero to you?"
"Because you're a Rogue, because your class shows compassion to others."
"How does my class make me compassionate?"
"A Rogue steals their aspect and gives it to those in need of it. You are required to help others to be effective. Perhaps you can help those I could not, perhaps you can save those who lost their lives on The Battlefield."
"Whoa dude, that's deep, but I don't know if I can do much, I mean, it's not like I'm the Rogue of Life or Doom."
"But you are the Rogue of Breath, you can give Breath to others, and Breath is just as good as Life in this situation. I have to go now, SG is back, good luck Jon!"
As you head up the stairs you think about what he said. Can you really bring people back to life. That would be pretty awesome! Aw, fuck! Brandon's calling you, ignore this bullshit!
As you ascend the stairs you notice that Jeremy has actually learned how to build shit now! You reach the first gate and hop in!
We now go to Jeremy as he talks to HIS server player, Alex.
Skype Call:
JB - Alright, so where do I go?
AR - Up the stairs in your hallway.
JB - Who puts stairs in the hallway?
AR - It seemed to fit perfectly.
JB - So? That doesn't make it any less difficult to walk through a flight of stairs!
AR - Hey, fuck off!
JB - Why? You've fucked up my house!
AR - Just get to your planet, I'm going to wake up.
JB - Wake up?
AR - It will make sense later, just go!
Skype Call End
As you ascend your hall-stairs you enter a room, neatly labeled "First Gate". As you enter you notice a small spinning portal in the room. Fuck it, jump in!
You emerge in a large forest, covering for as far as you can see are bushes and trees. You wonder along noticing bubbles float off above your head, huge bubbles, bubbles the size of fucking mountains! Wow, guess what land this is! If you said Land of Bubbles and Undergrowth, you would be fucking right! What, do you want a medal? Well you don't get one so fuck off!
As you walk further into your forested land of bullshit, you hear a faint sound in the distance. Is that chanting? It IS chanting, but what could be chanting out here?
You head forward to see a group of dogs huddled around a campfire. If one catches on fire it is not going to surprise you when the whole fucking forest goes up with him. Maybe the bubbles will put it out, doubtful.
This is bullshit as a planet, so you promptly take the thing your T.V. gave you and go back home. You're not burning today, Alex can enjoy your planet's free kindling.
"Kid!" You hear a voice in your head. Great now you're going crazy too.
"Who are you? And why are you in my head?"
"I'm your exile!"
"What's an exile?"
"Well as one of my fellow exiles put it 'We are here to guide the heroes.' Or something along those lines."
"So I'm some kind of hero?"
"You're not just some hero, you're the Seer of Time!"
"Seer of Time, that sounds really stupid!"
"Well, it's not, so shut up you ungrateful little shit!"
"Then what can I do?"
"Well as Seer implies, you can see the general flow and course of time, also you can time travel."
"YES! Time travel was all I wanted to hear, I'm in!"
"Well then, good luck with that, I was just here to convince you to keep playing the game."
With your new understanding that you get time travel, you're finally ready to tackle this bullshit of a game!
