- PinesDecipher [PD] has started a Memo –
DipperSisterkitten [DS] has joined the Memo
GrandAdventureGirl [GA] has joined the Memo
RacoonAuthority [RA] has joined the Memo
TrollburgHelper [TH] has joined the Memo
PD: Okay, enough memo update to see what's going on with everyone
PD: first of all, you might notice we got a new person
TH: Hello
TH: it's nice to meet you all
GA: Webby is going to be thrilled when she finds out
TH: I've seen your document and it's very well organized
GA: oh, that wasn't me, that's my brother, Huey
GA: also this isn't Webby, this is Louie.
TH: well tell Huey that he helped me understand our situation with this SBURB.
DS: where's Webby? Btw?
GA: oh we fought with those imps you guys are talking about and the giant one knocked one into our pool
RA: hold the fuck up
RA: you have a pool?
GA: I assumed every rich person has one
GA: not much use for ours, it's only used to house Uncle Donald's boat
GA: speaking of which, they took him away
PD: much like what happened to our grunkles
TH: sounds like these imps have a high interest in abducting uncles
GA: hold on, Webby is waking up, sounds exciting
PD: can you pass the computer to her, please?
GA: Sure
GA: give me a second
GA: Hi guys!
GA: Webby here
GA: you won't believe it!
GA: I saw it
PD: saw what?
GA: I saw the yellow city, the thing Mabel was talking about, I saw her too!
DS: you saw me?
GA: yeah, you were sleeping on the window
GA: I had so much fun, I was flying, there were nice people and I had a great time!
TS: This sounds quietly familiar
GA: oh new person!
TS: before I woke up, I was in a purple city,
PD: purple?
TS: I too flew and I saw some people around, looking at me, I was in a weird purple nightgown.
DS: did you see Skya?
TS: beg you pardon?
DS: a blue giant planet hovering above.
TS: not that I recall
PD: same
PD: I didn't see Skya and I was in a purple city
PD: this seems a little odd, we're having the same dream, but in different places. Do you think this has to do with SBURB or is it all a coincidence
GA: if we're worlds away, I doubt it.
RA: so in other news, you guys did f**k all
DS: don't assume we did nothing
DS: I had a whole makeover with alchemy
GA: oh, I am certainly going to do that!
PinesDecipher(2) [PD2] has joined the Memo

- PinesDecipher [PD] has ended the Memo –
[OS-142]
After the memo, Webby felt warm after taking a dip in the water when she fell, covering her towel and changing to new dry clothes, she was relieved and excited.
"You, okay?" Dewey asked, entering her room
"Yep," the girl duck stood up, "they might have taken Donald, but we have a lot to do! We can rescue him by playing the game"
"I guess," Dewey was a little unsure, "so far there isn't much to do."
"but that's when you're wrong, my friend" Webby begin to exit her room, "we got alchemy!"
"Alchemy?"
"Yes! Alchemy!"
The two walk down to the main hall, where the two other boys are sitting on the big device.
"If we're going to play this game, we're going to need some proper gear!"
She stood on top of the alchemiter ready for the biggest creative spree she will ever commence.
"Grab your things and bring them here and we will create the most amazing things! Let's do this!"
[AS-Webby]
.
Webby: Combine Laptop && Spy goggles
Webby makes the Spytop.
Effective in secret missions while functioning as a personal computer.
.
Combine Spytop && Scary mask

While reading Homestuck, she can strike fear into imps, the last thing they'll see is the sharp teeth and horrified face of an amazing butt-kicking duck.
.
Webby: Combine doll || picture of the triplets
Webby makes Huey, Dewey and Louie Dolls
About the time she has a better target practice than that ugly-looking doll.
Though in case.
.
Webby: make ultra doll spree
She went through pictures of everyone she took, creating a whole set of dolls, from the McDuck family to her and granny, people working for Scrooge, and even some of their enemies, like the Beagle Boys, Glomgold and Magica.
A good way to remember them when most of them are probably dead. Which for the enemies would be good, but she'll miss them.
.
"Huh, that's new," Webby notice a box full of blueprints, tools and inventions, this must be gyro's stuff, including the little lightbulb robot.
While searching for that robot, she came across an opened blueprint, something called a B.O.Y.D., whatever that is, seems like a robot of some kind.
Looking at the capabilities she can do with alchemy, she was curious.
.
Combine Lil Bulb || Dewey Doll
Webby makes Lil Dewey
A new moving doll that looks and maybe acts like Dewey, Webby wasn't too sure, hopefully, it doesn't turn evil.

But just in case, she'll leave it be and move on to other ideas.
.
Webby: Combine Camera && Captchalogue card
Webby makes the Captchalogue camera.
She can do a lot more with this, especially one idea she had.

"um, what are you doing?"
"The best thing I'll ever get from this!"
.
Combine picture of Scrooge && Scrooge book
Webby makes the Complete Life of Scrooge McDuck
A non-fictional documentary examining, analysing, and telling all things about the legendary Scrooge Mcduck
She opens the book to find a page about one of Scrooge's successful treasure hunts, giving paragraphs of what happened in fine detail, telling as if whoever wrote it was there to see it.
Everything she wanted is here and she'll certainly read it once this game is over.
"Scrooge, do you want anything cool? I can turn your cane into an ultimate…"
"Nah Webby" Scrooge declined, "I prefer my own things, I have my wit and know how to overcome anything, but you have your fun."
"Okay."
.
Combine grabbling hook && Mace
Webby makes the Grabbling Mace
Basic design, but part of a better idea she had
.
Combine Grabbing hook && Spear

.
Combine all the grabbling hooks together
With all the grabbling hooks, she made the ultimate grabbling hook
The Grabbla Mark 5
With this grabbling hook, she has different choices, from hook to mace, to harpoon, to paint and hand. a fine choice and weapon for this duck.
.
And right on time, Huey, Dewey and Louie arrived at the scene with their stuff.
"Okay, um…" Dewey was the first to notice a dancing doll version of himself, "alright, that is awesome"
"I know!"
"Can you do a moving version of me?" Louie asked.
"Well… better wait to see if Dewbot turns evil. You know what Gyro's robots are like."
"Good point."
"Alright, who wants to go first?"
"I think I will be the first" Huey steps in with his stuff. "I will make the best items for our game."
.
Combine: woodchuck guidebook && phone
Webby makes the Woodchuck guide E-book tablet for Huey
"much more accessible," Huey said, now using the tablet for easy access.
.
Combine: woodchuck outfit || backpack
Webby makes the Woodchuck explorer getup for Huey
Complete with an attached backpack to put a lot of space inside.
"oh man, this is so exciting!" Huey said.
.

A powerful weapon capable of casting lightning attack when playing the device.
"but with this board, I need a new look!"

"Can I have a turn now?"
"Hold up, one more thing."
.
Combine Dewey Jock clothes && knight in shining Armour
Webby makes the Knights High outfit
A mixture of a brave night and a wholesome high school teen, Dewey is prepared in style.
"Okay, your turn."
"Finally." Louie steps in, already having a brilliant idea
.
Combine picture of drink dispenser && picture of Alchemiter
Webby makes the Alchemise Soda Machine for Louie
After taking a picture of a soda machine and the alchemiter using Webby's capchalogue camera, Louie put them together to create a soda machine made to generate a soda using alchemy, all that's left to do is place the settings inside the machine.
Which has some interesting options, there are slots for cards and a choice of the price using either grist or boondollars
"Webby, can you get a card of Pep please?"
"Sure," Webby played along, Captchaloguing the can of pep and giving it to Louie, who place it in the machine. Which automatically set a price for the grist, the same price as it is to generate one can of Pep.
After placing the settings, Louie pressed the button, successfully getting a can.
"oh, we can do a lot from this," Louie said, already hatching a scheme.
But those schemes have to wait, he still needs to make his other stuff.
.
Combine Green hoodie || picture of Gladstone
Webby makes the Luck hood for Louie
Only for a change of clothes, but hope that it brings good fortune, knowing that Gladstone was incredibly lucky with his. He wouldn't be surprised if he survived the meteor attack while finding twenty dollars on the floor.
.
Combine Laptop && shades || Pep
Webby makes the Pep-Branded Anshades for Louie.
"Finally," he sighed, "now I can read Homestuck only holding my can of Pep!
"you do realise you have to fight to survive right?" Huey pointed out
"I wasn't the one who made lame items," Louie pointed out, "plus I'm not the one playing the game, Webby is." His eyes turn to the duck girl, "feel free to use the Alchemiter, I got everything I need"
With that Webby consider more ideas, especially for herself
.
Combine Webby's clothes && drawing of dart attack OC
Webby makes the Ranger Force armour
Like with Dewey's cool outfit, Webby use her own drawings, an original character she made when making darts attacks with the boys.

A great start but can go further with better outfits
.
Combine Webby's clothes && painting of Explorer Scrooge
Webby makes the Old West Explorer

The soldier, the cowgirl, the explorer, the fighter.
All part of her.
With her hook in her hoister, she can scare any imitating imps with a squint.
It's so… freaking AWESOME!
.
With that, the spree of making cool stuff is over, the kids managed to make their stuff and are ready to continue with their new adventure!
[841 - 843]
Dipper:
While the two travel towards this cave, they watch John fighting the ogres, seeing him trying to use his hammer only to be beaten badly.
"Sheesh!" Dipper said, "didn't seem hard when I thought them.
Webby:
Webby looked at John's battle with the two ogres, already it reminded her of her failure, one big ogre blocking her way to save Donald and knocking her into the pool.
But she didn't feel too bad about it, especially when she has the better gear to fight the imps
Cartman:
Cartman laughed when he saw John getting beaten up by the ogres. "oh man, he is so lame!"
"You know when we're in the medium we have to deal with that right?" Stan pointed out.
Mabel:
"Nice granny ghost," Mabel said, while not like John getting beaten up, she was pleased that his nanna is healing him and saving him from certain death.
Hilda:
They have seen unique creatures in their adventures. Seen weird things occurring.
But never thought to see a boy failing to fight two giant jesters. Or at least they think they're jesters.
All they could say is that it happened and moved on
[844]
Not much to say but curious more towards the new wastelander.
[OS-142]
Sometime in the future
This time in the duck time place… whatever.
A Graytell witness arrived.
Long she has waited.
Long time to find him again.
A reunion awaits.
[845]
Dipper:
"A more proper description of how cards and alchemising works," Dipper said, now can use this information than what he had gotten from that other sprite
Webby:
"This must be when we found out how those cards work," Huey said, quickly using his new woodchuck guide tablet to add in the functionality of captcha cards."
"Yeah but we already know this stuff thanks to Lena," Louie pointed out.
"barely, but still, better to note it down."
Cartman:
"boring crap, time and time again," Cartman moans, "who care how those cards work, you look at the back and type in the crap and boom, sh*t appears."
Mabel:
Mabel looked at the page and didn't read much of it, seems too long and something Dipper would read.
But she finds the ghost picture amusing.
Hilda:
The two read the long text by John talking about something called Captcha cards and how they work, it was something new and related to computers, and getting full information from it was helpful.
"This could be useful later," Alfur said, having jotted down every word from this page knowing that it can be used in the future, perhaps related to playing this game.
[846 - 850]
Dipper:
In the pages as follow, Dipper saw Rose in a weird laboratory, noticing so many lighting green boxes called kiosk all collected to make a hubgrid.
"And this was underneath their house?" Dipper questions, now wondering about Rose's mother and her secrets.
Webby:
"Wow, her mom has a laboratory full of glowing boxes!" Webby was indeed interested in this new lab that was hidden underground, one of her favourite discoveries.
Cartman:
Cartman paid no attention to the pages, right when he saw the glowing green squares, he suddenly heard a doorbell.
Mabel:
"Heh, looks like checkers board," Mabel snickered.
Hilda:
Both Hilda and David were surprised when they saw the big board of green glowing boxes, looking like a chess board but with more science, especially when it claimed that she is in a lab.
But just when they had to change the page, they heard a doorbell.
"Coming!" Hilda's Mum called out.
[OS-143]
Hilda: take a short break
Yeah, enough time away from the screen would be nice.
Leaving her room, Hilda was quickly greeted by a friend. Frida. Not her friend from school but a witch-in-training, and she was her familiar.
"Happy to see you," Hilda started, "want some tea?"
"That would be nice," Frida said.
"I'll get the kettle on," Hilda's mum said, as she approach the kitchen.
While they wait, Frida was curious, "David told me about something big happening today, I was curious."
"It wasn't much, just reading a weird story on the computer. I had a conversation with a few new people, it was interesting as of late. All while waiting to play a game."
"Really?"
"Well… there was this one person who said that our world is ending, I don't think he's telling the truth."
"Hope not," David steps in.
"Don't think anything is going to happen today," Frida said, "you could say that I feel a little bummed out,"
"How so?" Hilda was curious noticing her friend's mood.
"I was going to have an important witch lesson with the librarian, but she told me that it was cancelled, saying she was busy with something important. She didn't say much about it."
They heard a large whistle, indicating that the kettle is hot enough to make tea. The kids sat around while Hilda's mum served them their hot beverage.
They continue the conversation.
"So, what is this story about? How weird is it?"
"I'm honestly not sure myself," Alfur said when Hilda sip her drink. "so far we're learning about this girl named Jade who lives in a tower, and her grandfather is a millionaire of some sort."
"Then some other things that we might have missed," David added, "apparently the other people had read parts before we did,"
"Meaning you've arrived late?"
"Seems like it," Hilda sighs, "shame really, I would like to read something from the very beginning, hopefully, Dipper wrote it down somewhere."
"Dipper?"
"One of the people reading the story with us," Hilda clear some confusion, "he's reading it somewhere in a different part of the world. he's much nicer than the rest."
"Mind if I read this story?" Frida asked, taking another sip of her tea.
"Sure," Hilda said, "we can all read it together."
With that and after finishing their tea, they all went to Hilda's room to continue reading Homestuck.
[OS-144]
Cartman: Answer door
Another person entering their house, is it someone he invited or another gate crasher?
Opening the door, he was greeted by surprise, but at the same time annoyance.
It was the girls.
four girls to be exact, and one of them is someone he despises the most. Someone, in Cartman's mind, is the biggest b*tch that ruins all the fun, but he insists to invite so when he saves her, she can thank him for rescuing her poor excuse of her life.
"What is it this time Cartman?" Wendy asked, very sceptical when she saw her invitation to this party.
"Just come in Wendy," Cartman moans, not wanting to argue with Wendy, "I got better matters in hands, and you will be thankful, Stan can fill you in on what's going on, Stan."
"Do you want the long or the short version?" Stan asked.
"One where I don't leave right away."
"Craig is dead, Cartman caused the end of the world, and we are reading a sh*tty webcomic that would somehow get us out and end up on a different planet."
"That explains the huge rock right in front of his house," Bebe, one of Wendy's friends mentions as the two other girls were both in awe at seeing the rock yet horrified when they saw blood underneath.
Yet Wendy was still unsure, she dealt with Cartman for a long time, she constantly insulted her, called her many bad names, and whatever he does, it only ends with him getting what he wants, and people suffer for whatever disaster he caused.
And yet, with the big rock, recent news of falling meteors. She can believe this. Still cautious, however.
"Okay, fine, we'll stay." She sighs. Resulting in Stan smiling.
With that, the girls entered Cartman's place and sat down to read this webcomic.
[851]
Dipper:
"Thousands?" Pacifica raises a brow to the mounts, recalling her own home having a few of these.
"even Stan would say this is overkill," Dipper pointed out, recalling how Stan has a few mounts that he used to turn into fake attractions.
Webby:
"that's a lot of mounts," Webby was surprised by the number of animals mounted on the wall, "he is really a marksman, probably the best hunter."
Cartman:
The group were surprised by the number of animals mounted on the wall, for a few parts, a few of them smile from such animals, such as the shark head.
Both Stan and Wendy dislike the mounts as they don't like animal cruelty.
Mabel:
"Woah…" Mabel was surprised by the number of animal heads, and a little unsure about this place.
She click on the next page so she wouldn't worry about it.
Hilda:
"Those poor animals," David said, feeling bad about the mounts.
Frida already had a question, but Hilda managed to answer it, "her grandfather is a part-time hunter."
While this cleared things up, it still didn't put the three at ease from seeing this.
[852]
Dipper:
"Impressive knight collection," Dipper comments
Webby:
"Wouldn't be a millionaire mansion without a knight statue," Webby said, knowing the manor had a few knights, even one beside her room.
Cartman:
"Is she living in a rich guy's house?" Bebe asked, "seems like stuff you find in an old manor."
"That's Jade's grandfather." Kyle answers.
"Oh man, he even has Iron Man," Kenny pointed out the Iron man armour.
Mabel:
"Much better," Mabel giggled, liking the knights in the room.
Hilda:
"He has a unique collection of knight armour." David comments, "though don't know what that is, is that even a knight."
Hilda and Frida look at the certain statue, one on the right.
"A very different design, don't think that's a knight at all," the small elf comments and noting down said armour.
[853]
Dipper:
"showing more that he's a treasure hunter as well," Dipper said before going to the next page.
Webby:
"Oh, mummies!" Webby said with peaked everyone's interest, having experience with mummies on one of their adventures, especially one where they dealt with a real-life mummy, managing to stop him with the help of a hidden community that revolted in the hope to have burritos.
Cartman:
"Borning, next!" Cartman kindly changes the page.
Mabel:
"Ew, mummies, next!" Mabel changes the page, hoping to find something better.
Hilda:
"Ew," David was disgusted by seeing creepy-looking mummies around the room.
Hilda meanwhile, while a little shaken still find the subject interesting, recalling reading a book about an ancient civilisation that has mummies.
"Don't worry David," Hilda reassure her friend, "it won't get any weirder…"
[854 - 855]
Dipper:
Both Dipper and Pacifica blinked before seeing the blue-coloured lady portraits. Not sure what to say as it was weird for them.
"Yeah, that is certainly a millionaire would do," Pacifica said, "a room full of weird stuff that we don't question."
"Does your place have one?" Dipper asked.
"I don't want to talk about it."
Webby:
"Huh?" Louie raises a brow when they saw what Jade's Grandfather likes.
"Bleached portraits from parlours that he calls his beauties?" Dewey said, "the heck?"
"They do look weird, beautiful." Webby nervously chuckle.
Cartman:
Silence filled the room as nobody has a word or reaction towards this page which was absolutely odd.
They all agree to go to the next page.
Mabel:
"heh, they do look beautiful." Mabel smiled, happy to see something not creepy and what she like to see in Jade's grandfather.
Hilda:
Seeing pictures of blue ladies, Hilda blushed from the images, "I stand corrected."
"Don't tell me millionaires are this weird?" David asked, "if so, I wouldn't want to be in their home."
[856 - 857]
Not much to react to as most of them are the same, either not much to talk about or comment, or a realization as to why Jade has to descend the stairs.
One group, in particular, had a unique reaction.
Hilda:
"Huh…" Hilda looked at the big worm thing and it caught her by surprise, recognised the certain worn, from the shape, face and colours, yet not sure where she knows it from.
"What?" Frida noticed her shift in behaviour.
"Oh, nothing…" Hilda chuckles weakly, "just something about that worm…"
[858 - 859]
Dipper:
"Someone new?" Pacifica asked.
"Yeah," Dipper nodded his head, seeing CG for the first time and already can tell that they are not a nice person.
Webby:
"Man, I hate trolls," Louie sighed, along with the rest who had once experienced trolls being jerks on the internet.
"I'm sure trolls are not always mean," Webby said, who doesn't know what an internet troll is?
Cartman:
"classic way to troll, contact them and tell them how stupid they are," Cartman snickered while the rest generally didn't like the new person.
Kyle sighed, knowing that his dad was a known troll.
Mabel:
"And I thought RA was bad," Mabel said, finding this new CG person not very nice.
Hilda:
"Yeah this guy sounds very mean," Hilda said, already not liking CG, though a little confused by the wording such as 'Trolling' an adjective for trolls. You can't do a troll, trolls are a species.
This is probably something else which she has yet to understand.
[860 - 863]
Dipper:
"Yeah, better to not stand on that until we know what it is," Dipper comments right when the two found the cave. "alright, let's go in."
Webby:
"a vaporising circle in a middle of a hub?" Huey questions the placement of such things, "I have a feeling this isn't a vaporiser."
Cartman:
"Bye kitty cat," Cartman chuckled at the disappearance of the dead cat.
Mabel:
"oh, I like seeing that dead cat," Mabel felt a little sad from the cat vaporising, "he was so formal."
Hilda:
"Was that a dead cat in a suit?" Frida questions.
The other two shrugged as they don't know anything about the cat. And decided to move on
[864 - 865]
Webby:
"Huh, didn't know that," Webby said, examining her fetch modus and noticing how her setting had tree or leaf, to keep things better and so that her things don't fall out, she selected leaf.
[865 - 868]
Dipper:
They start entering the cave, it was dark yet was lit by nearby lamps to form a way through.
"That would explain the signal earlier," Dipper said, "and plugging it in would certainly help with the internet issue, maybe even the power issue."
Webby:
"Yep, that looks much easier to use than Tree," Webby comments.
Cartman:
"Congrats, you got a box," Cartman sighed, not impressed.
Mabel:
"A green box of… whatever it does." Mabel was unsure about what the box does and why rose picked it up and plug it into her computer.
Hilda:
"that seems handy for her laptop… I think." David comments, unsure about what the green box does and how it was useful.
[869]
Dipper:
Dipper looked at the sign on the page, reading the parts and begin to be both worried and confused, "unestablished?" Dipper questions the word.
Webby:
"Another timer," Webby pointed out, "this time know what will happen when it reaches zero."
"Yeah, it would… unestablished the lab? What?" Louie was unsure along with the rest of the boys.
"Like the lab just doesn't exist anymore?" Dewey asked.
"Sounds like it," Webby said, following its logic.
Mabel:
"Better hurry up, Rose." Mabel comments.
Hilda:
"I don't like countdowns," David said, "especially ones that do bad things,"
"a classic but show how long we have."
"and it's interesting this was going down for years," Alfur pointed out, "it means someone had been using it for years."
Cartman:
There wasn't much to react to, though Cartman had gotten a short Pester from Dipper.
PD: okay dude, I'm ready to play.
RA: about f**king time!
RA: let's do this sh*t!
[OS-145]
"alright everyone," Cartman stood up and walk in front of all his friends. "we're about start our game, we are going to have a great time and by the end of it, you will all thank me, there are a few people left to come, and if they don't come sooner, then it's their fault, but still I like to thank all of you for coming.
"not like we have a choice," Kyle sighed while everyone wasn't amused by Cartman's speech.
"Now let's finally play SBURB!" Cartman raises his hands, expecting something to happen.
But nothing happened.
An awkward silence ensues, broken when Cartman lowered his arms, a little confused as to what's going on.
"Hold on a minute."
[OS-146]
Cartman: talk to Dipper
- RacoonAuthority [RA] began pestering PinesDecipher [PD] –
RA: Come on!
RA: You are now in my game, do something!
PD: hay dude
PD: in your game
PD: got to say, your house is nice
RA: yeah, it's pretty sweet
PD: Even have a wicked pet
RA: yeah Mr Kitty is nice, how about you do stuff in my house
PD: okay, just need to know where you are
PD: Oh, found you
PD: you're the red-shirt boy right?
RA: yeah, that's me, I'm typing with my keyboard
RA: waving my hand
Cartman proceeds to wave his hand, hoping to gain attention.
PD: Um, dude?
RA: What?
PD: You're waving your hand
PD: And you're not on the keyboard, a girl with blue hair has the keyboard.
RA: Blue girl?
PD: Yeah a girl with blue hair, she's on the computer
PD: Hold on, let me lift something to get your attention
[OS-146]
Soos: lift bed
Soos clicked on the bed and lift it upwards.
He certainly got their attention, the three kids all were in shock when they saw the bed lifting.
Hilda, Frida and David were jaws open when they saw a bed lift into the air, not sure what was going on or how it was possible.
Meanwhile, at Cartman's, he still waited for any sign.
RA: I still can't see anything!
PD: I just lifted the bed
RA: bed? I'm in the living room!
PD: oh
PD: oooooh!
PD: yeah, wrong person
RA: what!?
PD: bye
RA: don't you!
PinesDecipher [PD] has left the pesterchat
RA: goddamit!
[OS-146]
As soon as the bed landed on the ground Hilda received a pester notification from Dipper
She accepts to see what's going on.
- PinesDecipher [PD] began pestering TrollburgHelper [TH] –
TH: Dipper
TH: great timing
TH: the utmost peculiar had occurred in my room
PD: I'm not Dipper
PD: it's Soos
TH: Oh, right
TH: Dipper's other friend
PD: And guess what?
PD: I'm connected to your server
PD: guess it's your turn to enter the Medium
TH: Oh!
TH: So the game started?
PD: Yep!
TH: Alright then
TH: What do I do in the game? What are the rules?
PD: I guess I have to put these large objects in your house, meaning I have to move some things
PD: Do you mind if I put one of them in your living room?
Suddenly an irrational spark came into Hilda's mind, realising that her mother was still there.
She doesn't want mum to know about her crazy dangerous adventures and doesn't want the risk being grounded again.
But to play this game, she has to first get rid of her.
TH: Wait!
PD: what is it, dude?
[OS-147]
Hilda: confront Mum.
She rushed out of her room to find Mum watching the telly.
"Hay Mum," Hilda started.
"What is it Hilda?" her mother asked.
"Um…" she thought about what to say, a way to get her out of the house.
"Say, do you have any snacks?"
"A little early for snacks don't you think?"
"Yeah, but my friends brought this new game and we are going to play it for a long while, so I thought we could have snacks while playing."
"sounds reasonable," her mum turns back to the TV, "you can have them later, they are in the cupboard."
"I think we don't have snacks," Hilda pointed out irrationally, "how about you go to the shops to get some."
"I think we have some," Mum raises a brow, "I remember getting some the other day."
Hilda quickly walked to the cupboard and open them.
Damn, she got some snacks, biscuits and crisps.
"um… nope, we don't, it's completely empty." Hilda lied.
"Are you sure?" Mum was still sceptical, getting up from her seat.
"Yep," Hilda nodded, trying to hide her lying face.
It felt like she was on trial when mum looked at her, Hilda began to worry and feared that she would be in trouble for this.
But in luck, Mum brought it.
"Alright then," Mum sighs, walking to get her coat, "I'll get some, be back in the bit, stay safe and don't get into trouble."
"I won't!" Hilda said with a smile. "Bye mum!"
Once her mum left, Hilda sighed in relief, she has thankfully brought time to do her stuff before she comes back.
No time to lose, she returned to the computer to let Soos know that she was ready.
[870]
Nothing much to talk about as it was more towards the wastelander flying, already giving the readers the same idea that the flying ball is going where the other wastelander is heading.
Returning to the future.
This time with Haysaul.
He recovers after a harsh landing. The old man approaches him
"here we are!" he announced, "you can stay here if you want, I'm heading up to the big chest!"
With that, the old man absconds the room, leaving Haysaul utterly confused.
Best to follow him.
But, hold on, there is still something about the boy on the screen.
The old man did say he can stay here and that's what he'll do.
So far, it seems that the boy, accompanied by a yellow hair girl, heading inside a cave.
Let's hope they don't encounter any more old men in there.
[871 - 872]
Dipper:
"More of Dave getting beaten up by his brother," Dipper sighs, "never seen someone so fast. He stands no chance."
"Speaking of which," Pacifica speaks up, causing Dipper to look up and see a bunch of imps blocking their path.
Yep, expected a cave.
Webby:
"his brother is kicking his butt," Dewey comments, a little unsettled by how fast bro was going, amazed that Dave could keep up with him.
Cartman:
"Oh, this couldn't get any worse!" Cartman was beyond furious, not even looking at Dave fighting Bro helped, seeing someone he appreciated being tossed around, going from cool to pathetic.
He needs to let his rage out. He knows a way.
Mabel:
"Oh no, the stairs!" Mabel cried when she saw Dave falling down the stairs.
Hilda:
Waiting for their new friend to begin the game, they see a video of what seems to be harsh practices of swordcraft training, with the young kid keeping up, but not managing to get successful hits and being pushed around.
Even if they think was practice or an actual sword fight, this was a little too harsh
After seeing the video and going to the next page, Hilda suddenly got a pester notification from… oh, him again.
[OS-147]
Hilda: answer
- RacoonAuthority [RA] began pestering TrollburgHelper [TH] –
RA: WHAT THE F**K!?
TH: pardon?
RA: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, YOU F**KING WH*RE!
RA: HOW DID YOU TAKE MY SPOTLIGHT FROM ME?!
TH: I don't know what you mean.
TH: and don't call me such foul language
RA: OH I CAN SAY THE F**K I WANT B*TCH
RA: AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT
RA: YOU TOOK MY TURN, I WAS GOING TO BE NEXT TO ENTER THE MEDIUM AND YOU TOOK IT FROM ME!
TH: Maybe there's a reason for me to be next instead of you
TH: Perhaps it's because I have a much nicer attitude unlike you who keep calling people bad names
TH: If you just be nicer then I would have let you have your turn.
RA: F**K NO
RA: I HAVE PLANNED THIS SINCE I STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME, I INVITED FRIENDS OVER SO I CAN SAVE THEM
RA: AND IF I DIE ALONG WITH EVERYONE WHO IS HERE, IT'S GOING TO BE YOUR FAULT!
RA: THINK ABOUT THAT, YOU C*NT LICKING BIG-TITTED WH*RE!
TH: Okay… that's… incredibly offensive
TH: I'm hurt by your comment you know that
RA: GOOD!
RA: YOU DESERVE IT!
TH: look, if the meteor incident is true then we'll figure it out
TH: until then, you have to be patent
TH: Complaining about it isn't going to get you anywhere
RA: OH I'LL COMPLAIN, YOU LITTLE SON OF A
- RacoonAuthority [RA] has stopped pestering TrollburgHelper [TH] –
RA: DAMNIT!
"Okay, I agree with Dipper," Hilda sighed, "this guy is a huge jerk."
[873 - 874]
Dipper:
"That would have been useful…" Dipper said, seeing a monitor that was tracking several meteors and when they landed, giving a huge hint that whoever built this lab knew that it was going to happen.
Webby:
"so many meteors!" Webby said with surprise, "it's like they knew about the end of the world!"
"Probably they did," Dewey suggested
Cartman:
Cartman was too angry to comment on this page. While the rest were looking at the monitor and thought a lot about the coming meteors, does this mean several meteors are heading their way? Not just the imminent big one and the one that killed Craig?
Mabel:
"lots of dots" Mabel giggled, not reading what they mean just seeing art more than facts.
Hilda:
"That's a very big computer," Hilda said, looking at the pages before hearing a big thump behind her, she turn to see Soos' work, a giant white device with a pipe laid where her bed used to be.
[875 - 876]
Dipper:
"guess the more people come over, the bigger the meteors become," Dipper said, considering their first time entering and if their world might be just safe since the other players are from different dimensions.
But considering the endless rain, smaller meteors would have destroyed everything.
Webby:
"The pacific ocean again," Huey noticed, "same as the coordinates, do you think that's where Jade is?"
"Jade?" webby asked.
"You think she's way over in the middle of nowhere?" Louie asked. With Huey nodding his head
Cartman:
"Yeah, lots of meteors and sh*t! I want to see John getting beaten up again!" Cartman complains.
Mabel:
"And two dots in the world," Mabel said. "at least there's a lot of little dots in America."
Hilda:
From what the kids understood, they are seeing a lot of meteors around the character's locations, with the biggest part being far away from most of them. Showcasing a world-ending threat.
"There's a weird machine in the living room," David called out. Giving Hilda a hint that Soos has placed another machine in her room.
[877 - 879]
Dipper:
Both Dipper and Pacifica were shocked when they saw John's fight with the ogres, seeing so many attacks, blasts and several hammers hits until the ogres were completely defeated.
"Damn!" Pacifica comments, "imagine if you didn't shrink that guy"
"yeah…" Dipper said nervously, fearing that he would have used up all his ammo if the shrinking didn't work, or if the worse case occurred.
Webby:
"And that's how you beat them down!" Webby cheered, but at the same time, taking into how much of a threat she was facing with that ogre, at her current rung, she doesn't stand a chance, Dipper? Maybe.
She still has to get more levels.
Fortunately for her, a few Imps are roaming around the manor.
Cartman:
While everyone cheered when they saw John fighting and making power moves, Cartman was jaw opened up until the end, "what the f**k!"
"What?" Butters asked.
"No! John is supposed to be pathetic and a wimp! He can't beat down those big tough guys!"
"Why the f**k not?" Kenny asked, "he's cool now!"
"No! Dave is cool! Not him!"
Mabel:
"Woo hoo!" Mabel cheered when she saw John and Nanasprite attacking the ogres, happy when they saw the two working together to defeat the big ugly monsters.
"Victory!" Mabel gave out a final cry, trying to re-act the dance that John is doing.
Hilda:
The group watch the big fight, seeing John again, this time, however, he is fighting back, a lot of blinking lights and flashes, and they were simply amazed by the video effects.
Until the end when John managed to defeat the two giants.
"Now that's impressive for a young human kid," Alfur comments.
"Alfur, we faced bigger foes." Hilda pointed out.
"Yeah, but not fight them" Frida pointed out, "I've seen what you do, either you help or run away."
"I guess so," Hilda admits.
[OS-148]
Dipper: reach the end of the cave
After a series of monsters attacking and cave exploring, they managed to reach the end of their cave. There they found two unique objects.
A chest and what seems to be another gate, where it leads? Who knows?
However, one enemy was standing in the way of their reward.
A big monster, roared at them, putting them in a boss strife.
Dipper and Pacifica knew what to do, the girl charged in, smacking the monster with her club, while Dipper gives support, going around and shooting many bullets with his shotgun. They constantly fought while the monster was confused, unsure which one to attack, only stood there turning from one focus to another before it can't take it anymore and collapsed.
Once it explodes into a huge chunk of grist, both Dipper and Pacifica celebrated.
"Okay, fighting a boss was a lot of fun." Dipper caught his breath.
Once the fighting was done, they went to the chest and opened it, finding pieces of paper and a fair amount of grist, unique materials that unlocked hidden currencies.
Facing the portal, they were unsure where it leads to, maybe back to the house, maybe somewhere else…
"Eh, let's read a little more before jumping in here," Dipper suggested.
[880]
Dipper:
Reading the current page, Dipper suddenly realises a possibility.
"Wait, could it be that… the meteors were going to head down on us anyway?" Dipper considered the idea, a little unsure what to make of it, it's somewhat a little less relief that he didn't cause the end of the world but all of it was a coincidence.
Webby:
"Guess it makes sense in a way…" Webby said, "at least I know I can't be responsible for ending the world."
Cartman:
Cartman smiled at the information he found, "sweet, guess playing the game didn't end the world, it was going to happen anyway."
Kyle rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Mabel:
"High five that ghost granny!" Mabel said, focus on the pictures than the text.
Hilda:
Without the context, there was slight confusion on what they meant by timer and the meteor summoning. they decided to skip the page not before the little elf recorded the conversation.
[881 - 884]
Dipper:
Looking at the pages, Dipper checked on his stats, seeing a good amount of grist and his boondollars in a decent amount, around the same as John's
Webby:
"Ooh, let me check mine!" Webby looked at her stats, with little grist but growing in the echeladder, not as much fake currency, but it's a start.
Cartman:
"Wish that was me right now," Cartman was getting a little tad jealous at John, especially when someone had taken his turn to enter the game, to him, he should be in there doing all the cool stuff.
Mabel:
Mabel smiled in delight when she saw John getting a grist and dollars. Hers good but she still has a long way to go.
Hilda:
"guess he got some reward for defeating those two monsters," Hilda said, curious about grist and boondollars, which she guess are currencies in this bizarre game.
[885]
Dipper:
"Better than 'Shmebusprite' over and over," Dipper sighed, making a shmebulock voice in the middle of his comment. "but I guess it makes sense, this game wants me to grow or something."
Webby:
"huh, never thought of it" Webby was surprised by John's suggestion to nana.
She then turns to her friend who quickly knows what she was going to ask.
"Sorry, Webby, you have to climb up there yourself, those are the rules."
Cartman:
"Back to being boring," Cartman sighed before skipping the page.
Mabel:
"Well, nanas can't do everything," Mabel shrugged.
Hilda:
"Guess there are limits for that… weird ghost thing," David said, a little shaken to see the creepy-looking sprite.
"Probably so players don't cheat in the game," Frida pointed out.
[886 - 891]
Dipper:
"At least John's dad is fighting back," Dipper said, "you think the Stans can do the same?"
"I don't know," Pacifica shrugs, "probably not,"
Webby:
"Go John's dad," Webby said, happy to see the man in the tie attacking imps.
Meanwhile, for Huey, he notices some strange parts of each image, especially the one where someone is watching over the fight.
Cartman:
"Who is that?" Wendy asked. Watching a guy in a tie fighting off imps
"Oh, just some guy in a tie," Cartman answered, "guess we know what happened to him after breaking free."
"Wait, what happened?" Stan asked, a little confused.
"While you guys went to watch Craig die, I watch this sweet video and it featured this guy breaking free from captivity."
"Why was he captured?" Jimmy asked.
"f**k if I know!"
Mabel:
"John's dad making a lot of problems" Mabel giggled, liking the images.
Hilda:
"Woah," the three were amazed by seeing a new guy, who was attacking imps. A lot of it was silly but still interesting.
It also made them curious as to who the guy was and if there was any connection with the kids in this story, perhaps a father to one of them.
[OS-149]
Meanwhile at a purple place
A duck was being dragged away by strong black guards in strange stiped gnome outfits.
Donald continues to complain as he struggles to break free from his captivity.
"weat me gowal!" he shouted, "down't you know hoo you dearling wif?"
The guards ignored him until they approached a certain cell and threw him inside before locking the door, Donald tried to get to the door, but it was too late, he was locked inside.
He continues to rage out until he turns around to find two unfamiliar and horrifying faces, both frozen as they stare at him.
They found themselves looking at each other for a long time until one of them broke the silence.
"Nope! Not eating that!" Stan called out.
[892]
Dipper:
"Okay, the other wastelander person," Dipper said, curious about the white wastelander.
Webby:
"Hey, it's the robot worm slaying wasteland guy" Webby pointed out.
Cartman:
"Great, more wasteland people," Cartman sighs.
Mabel:
"that's a lot of mailboxes," Mabel said, curious about this wastelander and the number of boxes.
Hilda:
For the group who haven't seen much of the wasteland, they were curious about the presented image, boxes that seemed important, but with a lot of them.
"huh, wonder what this is." Hilda was indeed curious.
[893]
not much to say on this page, but those who kept paying attention to the webcomics notice the particular tattoo on the wastelander arm, similar to the previous wastelander. They kept note of it and wonder if there was a connection between the two.
[894 - 896]
Dipper:
The two looked at the pages where the wastelander makes a huge statement about Mail, a surprising, dumbfounding speech ensures and with each word, the two couldn't help but stare expressionlessly, unsure if they should be impressed or annoyed.
Until the stare broke with Dipper's comment. "well… it's a start… of something…"
Webby:
"He seems… dedicated to the delivery service," Dewey commented while the rest couldn't help but smile at the motivation of the wastelander.
"It's a post-apocalypse, better hold little precious things to keep yourself sane," Louie pointed out.
"Yeah, just imagine a world without the importance of mail!" Webby said, "keep your hopes for a better future, mail wastelander!"
Cartman:
Reading the mail speech, most couldn't help but laugh, especially Cartman who find it the silliest speech if he had ever heard one.
"Yeah right! To bring sh*t for me!" Cartman continues to laugh, taking it all in before going to the next page.
Mabel:
"Of course!" Mabel made a realization, "Mail is what keeps everything alive, to give freedom of speech and creativity, to deliver and show trust in the world!"
She stood up and made a salute towards the screen, paying great respect to the wastelander. "hope you deliver that mail to that doctor, brave hero!"
Hilda:
"At least they care about the post," Frida shrugs, with the three being confused towards the pages, only making guesses and happy thoughts on the person who seems to care so much about being a postman.
[897]
Dipper:
"Another of those computers," Dipper pointed out, recalling the other wastelander having the same one.
Webby:
"Guess there's more of those computers" Webby pointed out, "you think they're broadcasting the other kids?"
"Maybe," Huey could only guess.
Cartman:
"Good, a house-shaped computer, next!" Cartman said before going to the next page.
Mabel:
"Hey, it's that computer again," Mabel said, recalling the last time she saw the computer.
Hilda:
"Now that's an oddly shaped computer," David comments, looking at the commands and curious about what it does.
[898]
Dipper:
"And like John, this computer focus on Jade," Dipper added, going to the next page to see more of where Jade was, wondering if, like John, she had successfully entered the Medium.
Webby:
"look it's Jade!" Webby pointed out, the boys lean on the computer to find Jade on the screen, making them more curious.
Cartman:
Cartman couldn't care less about the page so he skipped it.
Mabel:
"Guess it's like the other guy and John, but for this one, it's with Jade," Mabel said.
Hilda:
"Huh, they're recording Jade," David said, a little nervous about what it indicated.
"meaning someone is spying on her?" Hilda asked, going to the next page to learn more.
[899 - 902]
Dipper:
They expected something silly or a cutaway, what they didn't expect was for the computer to explode. Surprising the two.
Webby:
Everyone was surprised when the computer explode.
"Welp, the computer's gone," Louie takes a sip of Pep, "let me know when something interesting happens."
Cartman:
"Okay, that part is cool," Cartman comments with most either agreeing or worried about the wastelander.
Mabel:
"Okay, that's an explody computer," Mabel said, "hope they got that mail safe."
Hilda:
Seeing the computer explode, David quickly jumped by the page, while the rest were confused, maybe a little worried fearing that their computer might do the same thing.
"yeah, I think it's best if we play the game," Frida suggested with Hilda agreeing.
[OS-149]
"Okay, let's go in," with that Dipper hops inside the portal with Pacifica following.
Where they end up… it should be somewhere different or new…
But it turns out they have returned to the shack.
At least they're back home.
[OS-150]
Meanwhile at the other shack.
Mabel found another land to explore, this one seems a little more important than the previous ones.
The best way to explore more of the game, especially when she has great gear she can use on her travels.
Once the ship reaches the shoreline of the island, Mabel begins to set out, expecting this island to have more than what it seems.
.
End of Act 3: Part 3
