Act 2: Part 2


[OS-51]

A fat bastard stands in his room.

Well... don't tell him he is, he constantly says that he's 'big boned' when really, he is indeed fat.

Does this story know this fat bastard's name?

If the name 'RacoonAuthority' isn't obvious to the reader, it would have been a rhetorical question.

His name is ERIC CARTMAN but prefers to be called CARTMAN. He is in his room, his actual room in a house he lives with his single mother at South Park, Colorado.

He is just a boy who has so many plans and ideas, those plans being used to get what he wants or for stuff to change. He has a hatred for people he didn't like, and even if his friends find him annoying and sometimes tries to stop him, they often go along with his antics. For now, there isn't anything planned for the current time.

That being said, what will he do?

It has come to realize that whenever a new person is introduced, the first thing they do is get their package, open the box and install the SBURB disk that starts their adventure.

He doesn't care for consequences, he was bored out of his mind and need something to focus on, and a new video game will certainly keep his mind off.

But he will realize that this isn't any video and soon, he will learn the game's purpose and use it to his advantage.


[OS-52]

Cartman: Skip till you enter the name

Wasting no time, Cartman is up to the point where he can put his username to start reading a story that comes with the game, he would rather watch TV than read a book, it better have pictures, damnit!

As for the name, he decided to use an animal he used for his super-hero alter-ego, along with a word he often used when people are mean to him and keep him away from doing what he wants.

RacoonAuthority.

After entering his name, the first thing he saw was a page that has someone trying to put a book in a folder, something about dark things.

So, goth and gay…


[OS-53]

Cartman: Look at Pesterchum

He looks at the Pesterchum and notices five names with two more yet to be revealed, he was curious and wanted to know what about the disk he gotten out of nowhere.

He decided to pester someone random.

- RacoonAuthority [RA] began pestering GrandAdventureGirl [GA] –

RA: HEY!

RA: THE F**K IS THIS CRAP?!

GA: what?


[OS-54]

Cartman: be GA

Cartman can't be GA because GA doesn't even want to be anything like RacoonAuthority after his introduction.

It's so vulgar and rude. Webby wasn't sure about this person, but if this person is going to be part of their session, then better to let him know to catch up with the story.

GA: Well, introductions first

GA: The names Webby

RA: Yeah, knew you were a girl

RA: already this game is very lame

GA: look, you might be confused, but you need to listen to me

GA: this game is very important and your very own survival depends on it.

RA: like I give a f**k

RA: how about you tell me what's the point of this whole thing instead of giving me these warnings

GA: well…

GA: luckily for you, I got a document ready for you to read through

GA: what's your email? I can give you a direct document to your computer

RA: why not tell me right here

GA: I can

GA: but it would take too long

GA: even if I copy and paste, I think it's best if you read the document

GA: Actually, I thought of a better idea

GA: I still need your password

RA: alright, whatever

RA: it better be super sweet


[OS-55]

Webby: set up a document file

After getting Cartman's E-mail, Webby created an online document file, one that can be accessible to any user so long as they are given access to the administrator, which is her.

She started by putting Rose's walkthrough and her condolences as two separate documents, along with a summarised story of what's going on, all created while she and Huey were reading the story.

After setting things up and sending access to Cartman's E-Mail address, Dipper starts Pestering her.

- GrandAdventureGirl [GA] began pestering PinesDecipher [PD] –

PD: Webby, what are you doing?

PD: we need to continue the story

GA: sorry

GA: just met our new player, his name is Cartman

GA: he's a bit of a jerk

PD: turntech-level jerk?

GA: worse

GA: which reminds me

GA: what's your email address? And do you happen to know your sisters'?


[298]

Dipper:

"Better to put it under the roots rather than pulling out everything," Dipper said, seeing the smart move on Rose's end.

Webby:

"Still, it's a very useful modus," Webby said, thinking about what she'll captchalogue to create the root on her tree.

Cartman:

Cartman clicked onto the next button, not caring to read a whole bunch of crap send by a girl. It was too long and he would rather just read the story.

But even then the story looks boring as f**k.

"Is this seriously a story for girls?" Cartman said, wanting to stop reading right away.

But decided to keep reading, perhaps he can mock the girl when she screws up.

Mabel:

Mabel had no interest in what she's looking at, though happy to know that Rose likes knitting.


[299]

Dipper:

"Just like my books, and John with hammers, Rose found herself to have Needles for her weapon." Dipper said, finding it interesting. "though, I wonder about the other players…"

Webby:

"You know what? why not." Webby said, getting off her seat and going into her stuff, Huey and Dewey was curious, "what are you doing?"

And just as got what she was looking for, Webby go back to her seat with her trusty grabbling hook before captchaloguing it.

"I'm putting something on my strife specibus," Webby said, now looking at her newfound weapon for her weapon style.

Since a grabbling hook works like a handgun, it goes under the category of Pistolkind, meaning that Webby would use pistols as her main weapon.

Cartman:

"So lame…" Cartman said, "who uses needles as a weapon? What, she's going to stab people in the eye?"

Mabel:

"Wonderful!" Mabel said, happy to see that a fellow knitter decided to use her needles as her weapons for strifing.

Though, since she's a player, she wonders if she has the same abilities as Dipper.

She decided to give it a try, after going to the next page.


[300]

Dipper:

"Okay, Rose, this is getting a little silly." Dipper said, "it feels that your modus pretty much destroys your inventory."

"I don't see how this modus… whatever they're called, are useful." Pacifica comments.

Webby:

"Oh, you almost drop your computer," Webby said.

Suddenly, Louie enters the room, Webby clicked on the next page before turning around.

Cartman:

Cartman laughs, "oh such a dumb b*tch, you just took pull everything out your inventory."

Mabel:

Smiling at Rose catching her computer and book, Mabel decided to try out something.

She grabs her trusty grabbling hook and attempts to captchaloging it.

All of the sudden, it disappears.

"Woah…" Webby noticed, "what happened."

"I think I put my grabbling hook in my inventory," Mabel said, looking through her sylladex, with fetch modus called 'Array', whatever it is.

But more interesting is that her grabbling hook isn't in the inventory but her strife specibus, with her weapon of choice being 'Pistolkind'.

"so neat," Mabel said, happy about her using her grabbling hook and the use of captchaloging.


[301]

Dipper:

"Okay, that's interesting." Dipper thought, "so in this story, there's no such thing as Cthulhu, or maybe Rose never heard of the creature, which makes me wonder if Lovecraft even exists in this story."

Webby:

"I know many monsters, but Cthulhu isn't one of the" Huey read the story, not paying attention to Louie.

"Guys!" he shouted, "many things are going on! like so much!"

"Louie, calm down." Dewey said, "just tell us what's going on."

"The meteor… it's heading straight to the manor!"

Everyone didn't have much reaction, as Webby knew that since one came at the Mystery Shack, then it makes sense for one to come to her.

"And also, some strange kinds of stuff are appearing around the place, big white devices."

"Oh, Mabel must have deployed them." Webby smiled, going back at her laptop and clicking onto the next page, noticing that Rose is going to look at her book, which caught her interest, so she's going to follow Louie and look at the story at the same time.

Cartman:

"I'm sure the zoologically dubious would be much weaker than f**king Cthulhu," Cartman said, remembering a time as the Coon when he had control over the creature to try and do some good, if not for the berry hero that sent him back where he came from.

Mabel:

"This is certainly weird stuff Dipper would like." Mabel comments.


[302]

Dipper:

"So… pretty much a rip-off towards Old One's mythology…" Dipper said, who had read a bit of Lovecraft, but now fully into it, just know about the known creature.

Webby:

"Fluthlu sounds very cool," Webby comments while following Louie out of her room.

Cartman:

"Yeah, sounds like someone is trying to make this stuff to get money from Lovecraft." Cartman comments.

Mabel:

"Well, that sounds… a little bad…" Mabel said, a little afraid of a creature that would put joy to an end.


[303]

Dipper:

"Yeah, certainly ripping off parts of Lovecraft," Dipper said

Webby:

"Cool." Webby said, "just imagine exploding bones when hearing a monster's click sounds." She then makes click sounds and then an explosion sound from her beak.

"Webby is getting too much into that story, isn't she?" Louie commented.

Cartman:

"Next!" Cartman said, feeling a little bored from the book, if it doesn't have Cthulhu, then he doesn't care.

Mabel:

"That looks like a horrifying monster," Mabel said in a positive manner


[304]

Dipper:

"Well… if I get one credit to this, the designs look neat." Dipper said.

Webby:

"Ha, this one looks like an upside-down smile and two faces." Webby chuckles

Cartman:

Cartman clicks on the next page, thinking that these creatures are never going to get brought up ever again.

Mabel:

"Hopefully it doesn't happen to our galaxy," Mabel said, a little shaken towards this book.

"Are you sure we're in the same galaxy anymore?" Wendy brought up an interesting point.

"Are we?" Mabel turns to Wadpersprite, who remained silent to the question.


[305]

Dipper:

"A very confusing summoning procedures" Dipper raises a brow towards the page that showed windows that doesn't make any sense.

Webby:

Lena walked with Webby as the group was nearly at the main hall, looking at a procedure to summon one of the creatures shown earlier. She knows dark magic, but this was something she couldn't understand.

Though, it was interesting to read and enjoy that Webby is liking what she's reading.

Cartman:

"Knew the book is nonsense," Cartman said, skipping the page yet again.

Mabel:

"So… it requires electricity and windows?" Mabel tries to understand the book. But it was a little confusing.


[306]

Dipper:

"Okay, but that means when you go onto your laptop, your book and violin are going to drop as well." Dipper pointed out

Webby:

Going downstairs, Webby was a little excited to see where Rose is going to go next but also excited to see the devices she once deployed at the Mystery Shack at the Manor.

Cartman:

"About the time the story progress," Cartman said, though a little curious towards how the inventory is working for Rose. Even though he doesn't care.

Mabel:

"Time to go outside in the rain again," Mabel said


[307]

Dipper:

"Better pick up the paste," Dipper said, "and better to go inside."

Webby:

Seeing Rose out in the rain and looking at a meteor shower occurring on her house, Webby couldn't help but look at the window next to her that lead to the outside, seeing a vast of small fire rocks striking down on Duckburg.

It worried her, but knowing that she can escape from it fills her up with determination.

Cartman:

"Raining and meteor showers?" Cartman said, snickering at the concept, "you are so screwed."

Mabel:

"Hopefully Rose will be okay out of this," Mabel said, worried for Rose now that her house is being struck by small meteors.


[308]

Dipper:

"What indeed," Dipper said, looking at the image as it shifts towards a different person, a boy in sunglasses.

After clicking on the hyperlink, he notices a delay, meaning that someone hasn't clicked on the continue, he guesses that it's Webby doing her own thing.

With his spare time, he decided to talk to the new guy, even if he's worse than turntech.

He also suspected that the guy in shades is turntech.

Webby:

With the change of scene, Webby was more focused on what's in the middle of the main hall, the Alchemiter.

And along with the device, was Scrooge, Granny and Gyro, all curious about the device that she knows.

she walked downstairs, joining the group while holding her laptop. It's best to Captchalogue it, keeping it safe.

D L

Cartman:

"Now we're changing to someone else," Cartman said, a little suspicious towards the new person, though the shades are pretty sweet.

Suddenly, someone pesters Cartman, he opens it up and accepts it, wanting to know more about the players in this lame game

Mabel:

With the change of scene, both Wendy and Mabel were surprised by the new person.

Both of them think that he looks cool.


[OS-56]

"Boys, Webby," Scrooge notice the kids coming towards the scene. "care to explain for this contraction?"

Seeing Scrooge's concern made Webby a little nervous, she doesn't want the duck to be mad at her.

She attempts to speak, "well… um…"

"Webby played a video game and it caused the end of the world," Dewey quickly answered, causing shock from the rest of the kids.

"Louie?!" Dewey and Huey shouted at their brother.

"What? we're being honest."

"I assume this is about the recent falling meteors." Beakley pointed out.

"Well… yeah…" Webby said, now even more scared from Granny, "am I in trouble."

"If you are the cause, certainly" she answered, "but this contraction remains a mystery."

"Oh that," Webby peaked up, "that's the Alchemiter."

"Al-what now?" Gyro raised a brow.

"it's one of the three devices that's going to help us to get away from the meteor."

"The one heading straight to this very manor?"

"Uh-huh" Webby nodded at the smart duck inventor, "Mabel placed them."

"Hold on, who's Mabel?" Scrooge asked, never hearing the name or someone that Webby would know.

"she's my friend who's helping me get into the game, just as I did with her brother, look!" Webby then proceed to turn her laptop around to show the adults her screen, which showed Dipper and a blonde girl looking at a computer.

"The same thing was happening to their world and I managed to help them out, now they're doing the same for us."

"And how do you know we can trust them," Scrooge said cautiously, "we don't even know what they are."

"I just had a strong feeling," she answered, turning her computer back to her "plus, these devices are our ticket out from annihilation, you just have to trust me."

The three adult ducks look over at each other, thinking about what they saw and what they heard from the duck girl.

Beakley take a breath, "alright," she said, "how much time do we have left?"

"Let's go to the Cruxtruder and we'll find out." Webby smiled, happy to know people are trusting her with this task, "do any of you know where it is?"

"I might have an idea," Louie said, heading towards the TV room with the rest following him.


[OS-57]

- PinesDecipher [PD] began pestering RacoonAuthority [RA] –

RA: What is this time?

PD: I'm just here to talk

PD: one of the players are taking their time, probably for a good reason

RA: then tell the b*tch to hurry up!

RA: I got a lot of things to do today and this story is already wasting my time!

PD: first off, don't call her a b*tch

PD: second, you have no idea what's going to happen right?

PD: didn't Webby gave you the document?

RA: yeah, and I didn't read it

PD: then you don't know that the world is ending

RA: what?

PD: about time you figure it out

PD: if you read the document, then you know you just participated at the end of the world.

PD: as we speak, there will be meteors crashing to your Earth and it wouldn't be long before a larger meteor is going to hit your house

PD: but don't worry

PD: after Webby gets in the game, then I'm probably going to get you in

RA: so what you're saying is

RA: if I read this story, play this dumb game, I get to escape impending doom?

PD: that is exactly what I'm saying

RA: man…

RA: didn't know about that

RA: goddamn

Cartman thought about what Dipper said, suddenly, a brainstorm came to his head

RA: thank you for letting me know

RA: I got to go

RA: got a very cool idea while I read this crap

PA: whatever

PA: just don't be rude okay

RA: screw that

- PinesDecipher [PD] stop pestering RacoonAuthority [RA] –

Cartman smiled, before shouting throughout the house, "MOOOOM! We're going to have a party!"


[OS-58]

Webby: Follow Louie

The group arrived at the TV room, where the television has news about the meteors status while a giant white device appeared in front of them.

"Okay," Scrooge said, "what do you we do with that thing."

"We need something open the lid, Webby said, walking towards an armchair and sat down with the laptop on her lap. "I'll continue looking at the story to see any helpful tips."

While the adults look at the device, the triplets go towards Webby, looking at the story.

"Woah, that guy looks cool," Louie said towards the new page.


[309]

Dipper:

"Wow," Dipper said, a little unsure of the new character, "this guy sounds like he's trying to be cool."

Webby:

"I like this guy already," Louie said.

"You know earlier, he was swearing a lot and talked about having pee in apple juices. Right." Webby pointed out

Cartman:

"Yeah, that guy does look so cool," Cartman comments on the guy in shades.

Mabel:

"Both cool and a musician," Mabel said, noticing him having a DJ.

"Guy looks like someone who loves music." Wendy said, "he's very chill in my books."


[310]

Dipper:

The following gif surprised Dipper.

"Damn," he sighs, "I would have called him insufferable prick as well."

Webby:

"And he has a katana." Dewey said, "and with that slice, seems he got a bit of training."

"That sounds exciting," Webby said, "it's like my own katana training a while back."

Cartman:

"and he has a ninja sword," Cartman smiled, "this guy gives no f**ks."

Mabel:

"Woah." Mabel and Wendy were amazed by Dave striking down the name before it was entered.


[311]

Dipper:

"Dave Strider" Dipper takes a note towards the news of the guy in shade, "at least we don't have to call him turntech anymore."

Webby:

"Dave," Webby said the shown name, "so we got John, Rose and Dave."

Cartman:

"Dave Strider," Cartman said the shown name, finding him a bit cool, especially with the glasses shine, but he wasn't entirely impressed.

Mabel:

"You are indeed the coolest Dave," Wendy said.

"He is, oink." Wadpersprite added.


[312]

Dipper:

Seeing Dave's room, Dipper found the guy interesting, based on the words, Dave seems to be an influencer for websites and music, as well as interest in both music and photographs.

This was a little unexpected, perhaps he misjudges turntech based on his speech patterns alone.

Webby:

"So, the guy is a blogger and into music and raps," Dewey said, "already cool in my books."

"Yeah," webby said, "and he has a lot of interesting things, like those dead things over there."

The boys weren't paying attention and more on the other stuff such as his wires that are hooked up to different parts of his devices, showing that he's really into music.

Cartman:

"So interesting," Cartman said, looking at the room to see different parts and what he does, he found it interesting towards the music and websites, as well as social networks that he gained, reminds him of his social networks and dealings.

At the same time as he clicks onto the next two pages, his mother enters his room.

Mabel:

"I guess he's sort of like Robbie," Wendy said, "but completely different."

"Different how?" Mabel asked, knowing Robbie and how she helped with his relationships that involve a love god.

"Well, he isn't very lame for starters," she explained, "but I wonder if he made some music, I would be interested in listening to it."


[313]

(Not much to say as the image and text is not much to react to)


[314]

Dipper:

"Make sense," Dipper said, "he isn't aware of John and Rose's situation."

Webby:

"This must have taken a little sooner," Huey said, "or he isn't very aware,"

"at least he got copies of his game," Webby said. "He can help Rose out."

Cartman:

"Sweetie, what did you say about this party?" Cartman's mum asked, hearing her son demanding something.

"Mom! I found out that the end of the world is going to happen today!" Cartman said, "and I got a way out of the apocalypse, so I'm planning to have a super sweet party over here so my friends can survive and thank me for saving them."

"Really?" she said, finding it interesting. Just as Cartman click onto the next page. Not caring for what the page says, probably say how cool Dave was.

Mabel:

"Well, it is true," Mabel said, "but always have those games just in case…"


[315]

Dipper:

"And of course that happens," Dipper said, still not liking every time the story told in this story say things for the kids to do but they refused to do them.

Webby:

"Funny that you mention that," Webby said, smirking at how Dave talk about something that's happening for not just him, but for everyone.

"Yeah, and I don't want him to pee on the turntable." Dewey said, "I still don't like those parts by the way."

Cartman:

"I would do it if it belongs to someone else," Cartman comments on the page.

"What was that?" his mother said, making him realise something.

"Mom, what are you doing here? You need to go out and get snacks!"

"I'm sorry what?" she was confused.

"We're going to have a party right, so go out and get some food, get as much as possible, while I call some friends to invite them."

"Alright dear," she proceeds to walk out of the door.

Mabel:

"Good," Wendy said, with Mabel agreeing. "don't want that happening."


[316]

Dipper:

"Can't wait for that to happen," Dipper said sarcastically.

Webby:

"he's not going to bleat like a goat later, is he?" Huey said, a little worried.

Cartman:

Cartman clicked on the next page after seeing the image that showed Dave thinking of a goat.

Mabel:

"Do you mind if I do that?" Wadpersprite asked, "I am part-goat."

"Maybe when Dave does it," Mabel suggested.


[317]

Dipper:

"Ugh." Pacifica felt disgusted towards what the jar could contain, "I hope it's not what I think it is."

"Agreed." Dipper nodded

Webby:

"and now that stupid pee drink joke comes around," Lena said, seeing her friends feeling disgusted towards the image.

Cartman:

"aw man, apple juice," Cartman smiled at the jar, "sweet!"

Mabel:

Mabel crossed her finger, "please be apple juice." She muttered repeatedly but felt pleased when the text is going to focus on something else.


[318]

Dipper:

"So not only John got himself a bunny prop from a Nick Cage movie, but Dave has and wears sunglasses that Ben Stiller wore." Dipper summarised the stuff John and Dave has.

"Must of cost them a fortune for them to get those stuff," Pacifica said, a little curious towards Dave, wondering if he's a wealthy person.

Webby:

"Movie prop memorabilia are so cool," Dewey said, "I always want to have something own by a celebrity."

"What are you talking about?" Webby was confused, "we got treasure that belongs to legends and historical figures."

"I mean celebrities who are still alive." The blue duck had to correct himself

Cartman:

"So he has Stiller's sunglasses," Cartman said, knowing the guy from movies he saw, he thought he was a funny guy.

Mabel:

"So those are Stiller's sunglasses." Wendy said, "pretty neat."


[319]

Dipper:

Dipper look at Dave's fetch modus.

He wasn't sure about the function and can see so many problems with how the inventory would work out. especially when it comes to names.

It made him glad that this will be RacoonAuthority's problem, not his.

Webby:

Webby look at Dave's fetch modus.

And so does the boys, all agreeing that Dave's fetch modus is very confusing and incredibly counterproductive.

"Seriously, why do they make inventory a chore?" Webby said.

"Maybe to balance the spaces and stuff put in their inventory." Huey said, "having an easy inventory that disappears sounds very overpowered for a real-life experience."

"Which sound soooo exhausting!" Louie said.

"Well, I have to deal with my tree fetch modus." Webby pointed out, "so far it's easy to use."

Cartman:

Cartman looks at Dave's fetch modus.

"Sounds like a lot of work and math." Cartman said, "glad I don't have to deal with sh*t like that."

Mabel:

Mabel looks at Dave's fetch modus.

It confused the two girls.

"Ughh…" Mabel had a headache towards the fetch modus function, "the cool dude is also a big nerd!"

"Well, nerds can be very cool." Webby said, "just look at your bro."

Mabel smiled, "I guess so."

Now she felt a little lonely, missing her brother.


[320]

Dipper:

"Sure…" Dipper was unsure towards the jar, don't know if it's apple juice or… the other thing

Webby:

"Good apple juice." Webby attempts to believe it's apple juice, hoping that it's apple juice

Cartman:

"Go ahead and tell your friend," Cartman said, suddenly remembering what he needs to do

"Oh sh*t right!"

Mabel:

Wanting to skip the apple juice, Mabel ignored the text and skip to the next page.


[321]

Dipper:

"can't wait for Dave to pick up something that makes up 5 or 7," Dipper said, a little unsure about the juice or the fetch modus, but curious to see what happens.

Webby:

"so, when he gets a 5 or 7, the item is going to be replaced or what?" Dewey asked a reasonable question.

"Probably," Webby answered, going to the next

Cartman:

"Yeah," Cartman said towards the page before clicking to the next page.

Mabel:

Same as the last page, she skips this page, but happy to know that Dave captchalogue his apple juice.


[322]

Dipper:

"even if he seems to be a little cool jerk, he still got a good setup." Dipper admired the computer and wires that Dave has, showing that he knows his tech.

Webby:

"Yeah, gloat about your apple juice," Huey said in sarcasm, "that's something to talk about your friend"

Cartman:

Cartman skipped on the next page,

But while he does that, he also went over to Facebook and post an invitation to all of his friends, as well as some other people too who he can stick his fingers when he saves them from certain doom.

Mabel:

"I do like his computer setup," Mabel said, "Dipper would love something like this…"


[323]

(not much to say about the image and text on this page)


[OS-59]

Cartman: post invitation

GUYS!

You are all invited to my party that starts later today

Snacks, music and cool sh*t!

I promise you, it would be worth going.


[324]

(not much to say as it repeats a conversation that was seen before)


[OS-60]

Cartman: look at the latest posts on Facebook

On Facebook, he saw a few posts talking about the latest news

METEORS!

Big rocks heading towards America!

Are we doomed!?

This made Cartman a little worried, meaning that the d***bags he was talking to might be right.

Which means he needs to get this party ready, fast.

For now, he gets back to


[325]

Dipper:

"Oh, so that's what he does." Pacifica notice what was said on the page, "he reviews video games for a known magazine."

"Seems like it," Dipper said.

Webby:

"I knew he was the reviewer of Game Bro magazine," Webby said, recalling when she read a review towards,

This also brings a good opportunity.

"So boys, what do you think of the cover?"

"A little too much for my taste," Dewey commented.

"Yeah, not for me," Huey said.

"I say it's a bit sweet, a little too much like Dewey said," Louie added.

Cartman:

Looking at the March issue of Game Bro, Cartman had a sort of interest in the magazine, as it also features food and cool stuff.

"Grand snack f**k yeah!" he read a good part of the magazine.

Mabel:

"Wouldn't want to put a swear on a cover of a magazine," Mabel suggested.


[326]

Dipper:

"Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff." Dipper reads the comic sans labelled comic series before clicking onto the page that brings the page to the first comic of the series.

He reads the comic, about someone falling downstairs.

This gave him a bad vibe, as it looks like a poorly made comic in which someone used the cheapest paint software in the world and constantly make so many errors.

"I guess all of this is supposed to be ironic… I think?" Dipper was confused, he goes back to the page and clicks on the next, not wanting to think much of what he'd seen.

Webby:

Webby reads the comic along with the boys, she finds it a bit creative, even chuckling when Hella Jeff talks about stairs, at least she thinks that's Hella Jeff.

"can't wait to see more of this Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff," Webby said.

The boys meanwhile, find the comic either weird or fun, but more leaning towards weird.

"Well… we can be careful about stairs…" Huey noted to himself.

Cartman:

Cartman reads the comic and ends up laughing.

"Never f**k with stairs bro," Cartman said as he continues to laugh and hope to see more of this.

Mabel:

Mabel reads the comic and enjoyed it, liking Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

"He did warn him about stairs," Mabel smiled.

"Did he?" Wendy asked as the girl clicks onto the next page.


[327]

Dipper:

"So just like us looking at a webcomic, Dave is doing the same as well," Dipper summarised the page, curious about what Dave is going to read but a little weirded out by a sense of meta

Webby:

"Ooh, more webcomics!" Webby excites herself, quickly clicking on the next page.

Cartman:

"MSPaint Adventures?" Cartman looks at the name of the website, "so they do use a sh*tty software."

Mabel:

Mabel looks at the next page, finding it interesting as it hints towards mobsters stories. She clicks on the next page.


[328]

Dipper:

"The Midnight Crew," Dipper said the name of the title, looking at the story and seeing a hideout with black figures that looked like 1930s mobsters.

He was interested.

Webby:

"so we're just changing the story to this… Midnight crew?" Huey said, finding the concept interesting and curious about it.

Webby on the other hand was interested, the characters seem to be in a time when Scrooge would go on his rise to become a rich duck, a time of gangsters and Tommy guns.

"Does remind me of some villains from a show Launchpad likes.

"Did somebody say my name?" a new figure enters the room as Webby pressed on the next page.

Cartman:

"This is boring," Cartman was annoyed, "go back to Dave!"

Mabel:

"The Midnight Crew sure is gangstery," Mabel said, "with their nice suits and business schemes."

"You like mobsters?" Wendy asked the girl. With a nod in response.


[329]

Dipper:

"Yeah, but you cut a literal hole in your plan" Dipper pointed out.

Webby:

"and already, they are as incompetent as the Beagle Boys," Louie said.

"So little dudes." Launchpad, the new figure appears in the room. "what you're looking at, what's that thing?"

Huey cared to explain to the trusty pilot, "In short, Webby ended the world and we need to open the cap from that device over there"

The big pilot looks around to see the adults trying to work on the device but to no avail.

"Oh okay," he said, "that explains the meteors, always want to fly through one during a meteor storm"

"we're currently reading Homestuck, or the Midnight Crew," Webby said, "want to join?"

"absolutely."

Cartman:

"A bunch of lame mobsters who cut holes in schemes." Cartman describes the image in front of him.

Mabel:

Mabel giggled towards Spade Slick cutting a hole in their scheme.


[330]

Dipper:

"Wow," Dipper said, "They got themselves stuck in their own hideout"

Webby:

"Certainly, like the Beagle Boys," Dewey said and everyone agreed.

"Yeah" Launchpad already enjoying the story, "reminds me of a time I accidentally parked on a circle thingy, and one of the Beagle Boys can't escape."

Cartman:

Cartman smiled towards the Midnight Crew being trapped in one place.

It was a story that seems to pick up.

Mabel:

"This looks like an interesting story" Wendy admits, "four gangsters trapped in their hideout, I would read that when I'm bored."

"Me too!" Mabel agreed with her friend.


[331]

Dipper:

"Wish I can do that…" Dipper said, thinking of a possible idea.

He goes onto the URL and replaces the number '330' with a random 3-digit number greater than the old number.

Pressing enter, a new page shows up, but it reads a message.

'SPOILERS! GO BACK!'

"well, worth a try." Dipper shrugs going back to the previous page and clicking onto the next.

Looks like he can't skip further in the story

Webby:

"And just like the Beagle Boys, they end up fighting each other than fighting us." Louie sighs, expecting this to happen.

The next title was a little sad for Webby, hoping to see more of the Midnight Crew, it was good while it lasted and want to know more about them.

Perhaps at a later date

Cartman:

"and chaos ensues," Cartman said, seeing the Midnight Crew fighting each other, he clicks onto the next page, not caring for the series and hope not to see them ever again.

Mabel:

Both Wendy and Mabel giggled when they saw the Midnight Crew fighting.

"boys, am I right," Mabel said which the older girl nodded.


[332]

Dipper:

"I hope this story isn't as long as 3000 pages." Dipper hoped.

Oh man, he is wrong.

Webby:

"Sounds like whoever made this had a lot of time on their hands." Huey thought about the Midnight Crew story, interested to know that someone invested everything into making the separate pages to make a story.

"Woah, that dude looks awesome," Launchpad was easily impressed by Dave and his shades.

Cartman:

"If I have to read 3000 of guys stuck in a room, I would say f**k that!" Cartman said, pleased that it cuts back to Dave.

Mabel:

"Okay, that sounds a little too long," Mabel said, a little nervous towards the number of pages for the Midnight Crew.


[333]

Dipper:

"so based on their conversation, Dave is like a big deal where he's from," Pacifica said, a little curious about Dave's location, she can't pinpoint where exactly.

Dipper on the other hand finds the conversation interesting, as it shows much of Rose and Dave's character and their behaviour.

Webby:

"so Dave is a local celebrity where he's from," Launchpad said.

All of the sudden, Scrooge appeared in front of the children and pilot.

"Launchpad!" he shouted, "we need you sorting out this contraction."

"Okay, Mister McD" Launchpad said, following the rich duck before turning back to the kids, "let me know what happens next.

"Will do!" Webby said before going to the next page.

Cartman:

"Whatever, whatever! NEXT!" Cartman skipped the dialogue, finding it too long and boring to read.

Mabel:

"Do like Dave and Rose's interaction with each other." Mabel smiled, "it's like a lovely princess talking to a cool rapper."


[334]

Dipper:

"That's not anonymous at all…" Dipper raised a brow to the page that shows John, a little worried about who's knocking on the doors.

Webby:

"Now some Mystery for John" Webby said, curious to know what he is up to. Been a while since they saw him.

And it seems something interesting is going to happen.

Cartman:

"The f**k is this?!" Cartman was confused about the new boy in a different place since he appeared later, he doesn't know who John was.

Mabel:

Mabel was a little jumped by the knocking of the door, remembering when they investigated a mysterious door that ended badly.

She hopes it wouldn't be the same for John's case.


[335]

Dipper:

"Yeah, big red flags there." Dipper was very hesitant about what he's seeing.

Webby:

"And now we got black ink!" Webby said, "I wonder if he's going to fight an ink monster."

Cartman:

"Wow, so amazing," Cartman said in a sarcastic tone, "who cares about this, NEXT!"

Mabel:

"Certainly, don't want to go through that door," Mabel said. "but knowing John, and like Dipper, he will."


[336]

(Nothing much to say about the image and text)


[337]

Dipper:

"just like the piano and violin, we get to see what Dave plays," Dipper said. "knowing him, it would be DJ."

Webby:

"Why do I feel like this is giving me Robot Dewey vibes," Huey said, remembering the helmet Dewey was wearing who can only communicate with his piano guitar because he can't get it off him

Cartman:

"Alright," Cartman clap his hands, "let's hear them!"

Mabel:

"time to go DJ!" Mabel said, quickly clicking on the next page, excited to see what it would be.


[338]

[NOTE: due to the flash not working, you can't use interact as the characters are.]

Dipper:

Dipper interacts with the beat device, hearing interesting good beats that Dave picked up, making mixtures of music and beats, the music he finds good

Pacifica was a little unsure about the music, she prefers a bit of pop, not rap.

Webby:

"Dewey, you want to try." Webby offers him the computer.

"You got it," Dewey smiled, "time to be DJ Daft Duck again."

the blue duck starts clicking on the beats, finding a good beat and start moving around to the beat. The rest of the kids join in, finding the beats very interesting.

While they are in implement doom, there is still enough time to have fun.

Cartman:

"All alright time to do some beats," Cartman said, making his music, the buttons being easy and enjoyable to play.

He doesn't mind much music, but rap is one of his highest favourites on the list of music types. Plus he doesn't have to play stupid instruments and remember stuff to get the music right, this kind of instrument is what he likes.

Mabel:

Seeing the mixing device, Mabel hyped herself up, going towards the buttons and getting ready to become DJ "this is May May and the Hog, coming to get some sick beats by Dave Strider."

She proceeds to press buttons, with a mixture of beats, which she enjoys, same goes with Wendy, who also liked Dave's music mix.

Wadpersprite chuckled from the girls' enjoyment, remembering on his pig side to how they often do some radio jams with Mabel.

That good spirit will get her through to her new adventure.


[339]

Dipper:

"Oh geez," Dipper facepalms seeing Dave opening the jar.

Webby:

"Ohhh nooo!" Dewey made an impression of one of her quotes on the keyboard after clicking on the next page.

"Time to see if it's juice or fluids," Webby said, getting her laptop back to her lap.

Cartman:

"You earned it," Cartman snickers, now he's craving for apple juice.

Luckily, he had a carton of apple juice at the side.

Mabel:

"You think he'll do it," Wendy asked Mabel.

"I hope not." Mabel answered, "that will be disgusting if it's not apple juice."


[340]

Dipper:

"Thank you!" Dipper said, quickly reading that Dave isn't going to drink it, along with a very disturbing picture.

Webby:

"NOPE!" the boys shouted, quickly clicking on the hyperlink before Webby could see more of it.

Cartman:

After drinking apple juice, he quickly spat it out when he saw an image of a monster kid peeing in a jar.

"What the?" he turned to the carton and quickly throwing it away, "I am not going to drink apple juice at all!"

Mabel:

"Ew! ew! no! no! NO!" Mabel was grossed out clicking onto the next page and covering her eyes.


[341]

Everyone:

"WHY!?" the ones on the computer shouted.

In a cosmic phenomenon at the same time.


[342]

Dipper:

"so, his will be for blades." Dipper said, "make sense since he holds that sword before."

Webby:

"A sword user?" Webby said, finding the information interesting, "go ahead and equip that sword of yours."

Cartman:

"I'm more of a sai person" Cartman commented, recalling when he got into trouble during the day when he got ninja weapons and be ninjas.

Mabel:

"Okay, John uses hammers, Rose use needles and Dave uses blades," Mabel said, finding each kind interesting, though still intriguing to her pistolkind, which made her wonder if she can wield firearms that are not grabbling hooks.


[343]

Dipper:

"Knew something like this would happen." Dipper sighs, figuring that the fetch modus will have stuff that would get things to enter the same card.

Meaning that another will go out.

"at least he did what the word guy wants him to do… in a strange way…"

Webby:

"Spilling the juice on both the turntable and the betas?" Webby pointed out, "that's not good."

Cartman:

Cartman laughs when Dave spill possible pee on both his device and the Dave betas.

"Yeah, that inventory system is stupid!" he said.

Mabel:

"and now it just got worse…" Mabel said, really, really hoping that it was indeed, apple juice. But glad that Dave isn't going to drink it.


[344]

Dipper:

"What's with parents and have an interesting on one thing?" Dipper angered by the image outside of Dave's room. Which now has puppets.

Webby:

Seeing the puppets, the kids were a little creeped out, especially the image that showed one of the human creatures.

They click onto the next page with no reaction.

Cartman:

"So his bro likes puppets," Cartman said, the information he got from this page, nothing much so he went onto the next.

Mabel:

"That's interesting." Mabel smiled, "he has a brother that loves puppets."

"Like that guy, you once dated that uses puppets."

"Yeah…" Mabel recalled a little down for being rejected, she continues with the story. Wanting to forget that day.


[345]

Dipper:

"That must be nerving." Dipper said, "imagine having a shower with a puppet staring at you all the time."

"That sounds very messed up," Pacifica said, agreeing with the boy

Webby:

"Good idea to clean the game boxes and turntable," Huey pointed out, "though, you have to first dry the towel first or find a more clean towel."

Meanwhile for the adults, after examining the device for some time, Launchpad got himself a big hammer. He got it by going away then coming back. "Okay, got the hammer." He spoke.

Cartman:

"Get what you need," Cartman comments on the page, though a little creeped out by the puppet.

Mabel:

"Yeah, wouldn't like a puppet looking at me while I take a bath," Mabel comments with Wendy agreeing.

She goes back to Webby's game and notices something interesting is about to happen, with a very big strong duck appearing with a large hammer.

"About time." Mabel smiled, clicking onto the next page, but focused on the game.


[346]

Dipper:

Not much to say on the page, just a little chuckle from the two kids when a box hit Dave's head.

Webby:

Chuckles came from the kids when they saw the gif.

Meanwhile, for Launchpad, he lifted his hammer.

"so all I need to do is whack the top and it will open?" he asked

Scrooge nodded, "according to Webbigail, yes"

"Okay then."

In the shadow realm, Lena looked at the events unfold. The time is almost up, and she has to be ready, no matter the cost.

She can't interact with the physical world, but in theory, if she put everything she has, there's a chance she could interact with the object she attached herself to.

The friendship bracelet.

The moment she sees it, she'll take that chance, it doesn't matter what happens to her or what consequences it will bring, there might be other ways to be free from the shadow realm, but she'll do anything to be with Webby again. Or at least her to see her and talk to her once again.

Because they are friends and she'll be with her till the end.

Cartman:

"Once again, the inventory screwed you over," Cartman comments on the page before clicking on the next page.

Mabel:

There wasn't much to say about the page, so she clicked on the next page.

But focused on the other pop-up, she waited for the large duck to open the device.


[347]

Dipper:

"Or you can just call it a towel than a damp towel and save the number space." Dipper pointed out, "but at least you're learning."

Cartman:

Cartman sees no importance towards the page other than that it's clean. In the meantime, he checked onto his Facebook page.

He smiled when some friends are thinking of going to his party, with comments from Stan about what's going on and Kyle suspecting it to be a prank or a pointless plan meetup.

"You'll see kyle," Cartman said, going back to the story and clicking onto the next page, but nothing was happening.

Mabel:

Mabel clicked onto the next page, as the page was quick and saying that Dave is cleaning up the damp towel.

She was more focused on the game where a big duck just smacked the hammer down, opening up the device, a cylinder and a purple orb appearing.

She was about to find something to prototype the new Kernelsprite. But something weird happened before her eyes.

Webby:

Webby looked up from her laptop, noticing Launchpad bring down the hammer and whacking the device, popping out a purple cylinder and a purple kernelsprite.

"Now's my chance…" Lena said, now or never she has to do this.


[OS-61]

Lena: Self-Prototype

Webby smiled at the orb, curious what she'll prototype, she has many ideas in her head and got so many items to choose from.

But all of the sudden, something felt her left wrist.

She looked down and notice her friendship bracelet, it was moving around?

"huh?" she raised her arm.

Lena grab hold of the bracelet, "let's do this!" she starts to pull

"Woah!" she reacted, as an unknown force pulled Webby towards the orb.

Everyone turns to the girl duck and were jumped towards an invisible being pulling the girl.

"What the?" Gyro said in shock, "what's going on here!?"

"I don't know!" she shouted, "somebody, help me!?"

"it's for your own good Webby!" Lena said, pulling with the bracelet. But suddenly, her pull came to a stop. She turns to see the boys grabbing hold of Webby and pulling back.

"oh no, you don't!" Lena turns around and pulled back with all of her strength "I'm getting out of the shadow realm one way or another!"

A tug of war commences, with Scrooge, Beakley and Launchpad joining in. helping Webby to get away from this unknown force.

The strength was too much for Lena, but she never gave up.

They pulled and pulled and pulled, in a struggling stalemate until the bracelet went loose and slip out of her hand, thrown away.

Lena turns to see the bracelet, but her form vanished and absorb into the bracelet.

Everyone was pulled back from the loss of strength on the other side. When Webby recovered, the first thing she saw was her friendship bracelet, contacting with her Kernelsprite before a bright light shine that forced Webby to cover her eyes.

When the light faded, Webby pulled away from her arm, seeing a figure, one that surprised her the most, one she thought she would never see again.

"Lena?"


End of Act 2: Part 2
