I've been wondering about a couple of things:
1. At what point will we get Sburb/Sgrub? Will we get access to them when everyone has made an introductory post? Because I think all the human players have done so (except Zirat) and are really just waiting to get the game now.
2. I don't think we decided about whether Sburb/Sgrub would be beta/alpha. So... yeah.
3. Nope, just those two things.

Be Clarissa: Have Second Thoughts

Urgh... well one thing is good to hear how she got the present alright, and she didn't... well, detonate, but another is how that girl got her into playing this game. You never were too good at games, especially multi-player ones, though you did give your word...
Eh, what's the worst that could happen? Not like it's anything fancy, just a minor game you'll play for a day or two. Hell, as long as some jackass doesn't get under your skin it could be... well, not fun. But possibly enjoyable at least.

Alright... time to find that stupid disc.

C: Remember Where You Put Disc

Yeah... about that. You weren't exact lying when you last said you saw it as a coaster. When that thing was sent to you in the mail you thought it was some sort of Junk-disc, like what AOL used to send out and shit. Goddam was that crap annoying. Thing was, you destroyed the first copy, but another kept coming, it was only when you eventually kept a disc that the damn things stopped flying in the mail. So ever since you've been tossing it like a frisbee, using it to hold drinks, and other stuff like that. Now you just have to find it again...
And in your glorified personal Junkyard\Workshop\Bedroom that may be easier said than done...

C: Check By Bed
Nope, nothing there except your pair of gears. Those suckers are almost the size of you, your not entirely sure what possessed you to get those as your typeKind for weaponry, but it gets the job done, you're content to just let them sit there though, it's not like you're using the bed. You always found sleeping a criminal waste of time.

C: Check in Closet\storeroom
Nope, certainly wouldn't be in there, you only stash your most important shit in that place. Well, that and your backup jumpsuits and some clean clothes, everyone needs some backups, you know?

Either way, no point checking that out.

Pace About Room and Sort Through Junk Heaps

That'll most likely turn out the best results, but it'll take a while. It's not that your rooms FILTHY, it's just that you have a lot of crap piled up you've never taken out before. Balled up and discarded schematics, letters, orders, stripped screws, some sheet metal here and there, maybe an overturned toolbox, AND SO MANY SKINNED WIRE CASINGS. All in all a big mess. Though it's not like you can just...
Wait, now lets see... where did we put that shit...

C: Go Downstairs and Acquire Proper Tool for Job
Hmm, you have a supercharged Shopvac downstairs that could choke down a small goat without flinching, maybe that could be the end to your refuse-related conundrum. Nodding your head in approval you turn tail and head out for the door... tripping over something invisible on the way

AUTO-ROLL!
GAHFUCK
You quickly recover from the trip over empty space, and look back to notice that it was in fact your Mini fridge! How'd you miss that big white cube in the middle of your floor? Suddenly, you become aware that your leg seems to be missing...
Noting this as something that just doesn't happen so suddenly you poke the area where your leg USED to be, and where you still feel an area holding you up, and feel a thin, slick material, a sudden sense of realization dawns on you as you figure out what happened. Very carefully pinching the air by where you leg SHOULD be, you gain purchase on a thin material and peel it off, it seemed that this stuff was on your fridge and when you ran into it, it must have gotten tangled into you.

Holding it up to a lamp you see that it is fact the Optical Cellophane prototype you and your sister schemed up last month, a thin material that can be placed on any object that will bend the light around it, keeping it virtually invisible. Handy, though rather pricey to make so not something that can exactly be sold just yet. You safely fold up the material and place it in your sylladex for safekeeping.

C: Raid The Fridge!
Raid it? Why, it's not like there's anything in there of interest. You pop open the door and reveal it to be full of rolled up documents. Schematics, to be exact you think to yourself.
These are some of the things you work up on your own, and also one of the safest, after all who would look in a fridge for some important documentation? Though you do keep some water bottles in here... oh, hello you.

====>

Picking up a water bottle on the bottom shelf of the door you find the SBURB disc! It's mildly chilled and the wording is scratched up a bit, but the installer should run just fine.
Hah! Overt Cleanliness loses again, no need to clean up just yet after you found what you've been looking for!

>Isaac: Seriously, bro. Focus.

You leap over the sofa in a badass manner, and land beside the turntable. Sburb is just sitting there on a pile of letters, ripe for the taking.

>Captchalogue Sburb disk.

You captchalogue the disk, and prepare to go back upstairs.

>Mess around with turntable first. It looks fun.

You start messing around with the turntables. This is what they were given to you for, isn't it? ISN'T IT? As it turns out, it IS what they were given to you for, and it IS fun. You end up scratching and juggling beats like some kind of career-confused skilled clown working on a farm with pretty bad eczema.

> Amber: Liven things up!

Yessir boss! You combine the GIANT ASS BOOK and the SBURB ENVEOPPES, stuffing the disks between the pages and throw the book onto your bed. You grab your laptop and start communicating with rP, to thank him.

<spoiler=Show Pesterlog>[12:30] -- unsolvedAnomalies [UA] began pestering resoluteProgeny [RP] at 00:30 --
[12:30] UA: helloooo
[12:31] RP: Oh, hey Amber.
[12:31] UA: thanks you for the book Luke :D
[12:31] RP: Yeah, of course! Hope you find some time to give it a read; it's good one.
[12:32] UA: i sadly didn't even got past the title :\
[12:32] RP: Yeah... that's to be expected. It takes a while to actually get invested in it.
[12:32] UA: where'd you get it anyway? :p
[12:32] RP: But I promise, after the first fifty or so pages, you'll be hooked!
[12:33] RP: Wow, I honestly don't remember. I think it belonged to my Grandpa.
[12:33] RP: He must've gotten it long before I was born, but he never told me when.
[12:33] UA: o: so you gave me a family heirloom?
[12:34] RP: Well, as much as an heirloom it can be, after only two generations.
[12:34] UA: I dunno. Well, I appreciate it anyway!
[12:35] RP: Hope you enjoy it.
[12:35] UA: it floating in mid air is really cool :D
[12:35] RP: Yeah it... wat?
[12:35] RP: Um... is this one of your pranks?
[12:35] UA: I leafed through the first few pages and it stays where you left it. It's really neat!
[12:36] RP: I don't... You said it was floating? As in, in the air?
[12:36] RP: With nothing to support it?
[12:37] UA: Did I break it? Was it supposed to be supported? :(
[12:37] RP: It's... not supposed to float? Yeah, this is one of your pranks, isn't it? Haha, you live in a castle, therefore you have ghosts.
[12:38] UA: ghosts? 0_0
[12:38] RP: Although, it would have been more believable if you had done this after we first started chatting.
[12:38] RP: I was WAY more gullible back then.
[12:38] UA: i'm not joking, luke! it really is floating!
[12:39] RP: ...Seriously? It's actually levitating?
[12:39] UA: okay, now it's kind of bouncing through the room
[12:39] UA: hang on I'll try to catch it
[12:40] RP: Careful! That thing's big enough to kill a small mammal if it falls!
[12:40] UA: note: ghosts are violent :(
[12:40] RP: Oh dear. Are you okay?
[12:41] UA: Yeah. Nothing too severe. Health vial is all nice and green.
[12:41] RP: What did they do to you?
[12:41] UA: Banged me in the face with it :\
[12:41] UA: and then it flew off into one of the halls
[12:41] RP: Ouch, sorry.
[12:42] UA: took my sburb cd's too! D:<
[12:42] RP: What! No, not okay!
[12:43] RP: Wait... I'm sorry, I have to do this.
[12:43] RP: Ahem.
[12:43] RP: When there's something strange, in the neighborhood.
[12:43] RP: Who you gonna call?
[12:43] UA: um
[12:43] UA: the police?
[12:44] RP: ...Wat.
[12:44] UA: did i get it wrong? :(
[12:44] RP: I don't... The Ghostbusters.
[12:44] RP: You call the Ghostbusters.
[12:44] RP: You've seen Ghostbusters, right?
[12:44] UA: was...
[12:44] UA: was it that film with the guys with tech on their backs?
[12:45] RP: Yeah, with the photon packs and stuff.
[12:45] UA: i..saw a bit of it?
[12:46] RP: Okay, that's fair. There's plenty of movies I haven't seen either.
[12:46] RP: To get back on topic, let me see if I've got this straight:
[12:46] RP: Ghosts hit you in the face with my book, then stole your Sburb disks and ran/floated/whatever off?
[12:47] UA: well they took off with your book and my disks were between the pages
[12:47] UA: but yeah
[12:47] UA: that is a thing that happened
[12:47] RP: Huh.
[12:48] UA: hmmm
[12:49] UA: do you think clarissa has some thingamabob that could bust ghosts?
[12:51] RP: According to the rules of physics and reality: No.
[12:51] RP: According to the rules of Clarissa: Yes.
[12:51] RP: Seriously, what doesn't she have a gadget for?
[12:51] UA: she sent me atomic drumsticks
[12:52] UA: i think she has a ghost thing on standard, just in case
[12:52] RP: That sounds pretty awesome, actually.
[12:54] RP: Well. Sounds like you've got way more interesting problems then I do.
[12:54] UA: you have problems? o:
[12:54] RP: Eh, just some Fetch-Modus issues.
[12:55] RP: Need to get some more mana to actually hold the package.
[12:55] UA: ooh yeah, you have that fantasy-modus right?
[12:55] RP: So I'm scouring my house, looking for missing land cards.
[12:56] RP: Yeah, Magic. I know it's insanely nerdy, but it was easy to use back in the day.
[12:56] UA: hehehe only a little :D
[12:57] RP: Yeah, yeah, I know.
[12:58] UA: i use doodle though so I can't say anything :p
[12:58] RP: Eh, it seems like a pretty functional system.
[12:59] RP: Assuming that you have some small talent with drawing. Which I do not.
[01:00] UA: I have a little
[01:00] RP: Well, there you go then.
[01:00] UA: last time i drew this one puzzle book and I ended up with a ghost image of a weird stuffed animal
[01:00] UA: looked like a squid
[01:01] RP: That sounds nice?
[01:01] RP: Was it a cute squid or an evil squid?
[01:01] UA: it was so cute it was evil
[01:01] RP: Oh dear.
[01:02] RP: Well, that's not good.
[01:02] UA: Threw the card away xD
[01:03] RP: Here's hoping that doesn't come back in some contrived fashion to bite you in the ass.
[01:03] UA: I'm sure it won't
[01:03] RP: Like, the card becomes possessed by your etheral pests, comes to life, and begins running amok in your home.
[01:03] UA: ...
[01:03] RP: But that probably won't happen, right?
[01:03] UA: i think i'm going to get those things back from the ghosts
[01:04] RP: That's probably a good idea.
[01:04] UA: and perhaps get that card back for no reason other than me wanting that
[01:04] RP: Okay.
[01:04] RP: While you're doing that, I shall be doing... less interesting things.
[01:04] RP: Oh well.
[01:05] UA: good luck with that then! :D
[01:05] RP: And you as well!
[01:05] UA: bye! <3

[12:15] UA: Hey C. You're into that technical and science stuff right
[12:16] AA: Gee, and here I thought I was into the whimsical ghosty shit. Of course I am.
[12:16] UA: Bluuuuh x)
[12:16] AA: So shoot, scrub. What is it?
[12:16] UA: Well. I got a teensy problem.
[12:17] UA: Or actually, three of them.
[12:17] AA: Your problems are never teensy.
[12:17] UA: Well ok, you got me.
[12:17] AA: Oh? Only three? So this IS a small one then.
[12:17] UA: Well
[12:17] UA: They are kind of
[12:17] UA: Ghostly.
[12:17] UA: I guess
[12:17] AA: ... ghosts.
[12:17] UA: if that is the word you would want to use to describe them
[12:17] UA: sure.
[12:18] AA: Well, you're the one who got your ass haunted it seems. You tell me
[12:18] UA: Yeah but
[12:18] UA: I saw this film once about some guys in suits with some high tech stuff on their back
[12:18] UA: they were able to finish ghosts off pretty easily
[12:19] UA: i was hoping that was a thing so you could help me.
[12:19] AA: So let me get this straight.
[12:19] AA: You want me to go to scenic purgatory or whever your at and be the Bill Murray to eliminate some specters on your behalf?
[12:20] UA: either that or be my Q and provide me with the handy whatsits to give me the power of elimination
[12:21] AA: Well, you see slight problem there girl. Not meaning to rain on your parade but I don't think I've exactly the proper tech on hand to extricate some poor saps laughing it up in your room.
[12:22] UA: aw :(
[12:22] AA: Though... in the interest of science should these really be ghosts and NOT your imagination kicking it up on the most likely LEGENDARY sugar high you've reached today; what exactly are they doing?
[12:22] UA: they took my sburb disks
[12:23] UA: and the book luke give me :mad:
[12:23] AA: oh. no. not the book. lord help us.
[12:24] UA: oh come on! it was a classic! :)
[12:24] AA: Oh? What would that one be?
[12:24] UA: uuh
[12:24] UA: title's a bit long :p
[12:25] AA: Should have seen that one coming.
[12:25] UA: but they're a bunch of giftgrubbing ghostly gangsters! D:
[12:26] AA: Well, for all we know they could be doing you a favor with the book.
[12:26] AA: Most likely it's some expertly bound porno-fics not meant for the worldly eyes of one so innocent as yourself.
[12:27] UA: ew xD
[12:27] UA: don't be gross
[12:27] AA: I'm not the one you should be worrying about in that department.
[12:28] AA: But alright, I'll see what I can do for you concerning those apparitions
[12:28] AA: Maybe if I whip up something that could disrupt their ectoplasmic structure temporarily...
[12:28] AA: Honestly, this'll be mostly a shot in the dark/
[12:28] UA: perhaps ask your sister? unless she's still riveting.
[12:29] AA: No.
[12:29] UA: :(
[12:29] UA: Ok.
[12:29] AA: Ur... no, she's still busy is what I mean.
[12:29] AA: I can do this
[12:29] AA: No need to drag her into this, I got your back on this case!
[12:30] UA: Alright! Thanks C. :)
[12:30] AA: Dont mention it
[12:30] UA: I'll still hunt 'em down though. Chernabog kind of ran after them.
[12:30] AA: ...chernabog?
[12:30] AA: Oh good lord you've finally done it.
[12:31] AA: You've enlisted the dark army havent you?
[12:31] UA: What? no! It's the dog Noah gave me :D
[12:31] AA: WHELP. I for one welcome our new feisty overlords.
[12:31] AA: Oh?
[12:31] AA: ...
[12:31] AA: Wait, a dog?
[12:32] UA: Yeah! A dog! =D
[12:32] AA: How the holy hell did he transport you a dog? Did it come Fed-Ex?
[12:33] UA: I dunno! I didn't ask him.
[12:33] UA: It came in a small box though. But it seemed alright.
[12:33] AA: Okay, animal cruelty charges aside sounds great.
[12:34] UA: It's spirited little guy!
[12:34] AA: Speaking of discs, finally found my own. I guess I can set up your ghost buster while I set it to download on this here
[12:35] AA: So, I'll leave you to hunting down your Ghoulies, and keep an eye out for when I drop this off. Sooner the better right?
[12:36] UA: Oh man! I'll hurry, so I can start it up with you.
[12:37] AA: Indeed. Dont leave me alone with this shitpile of a game, how would I deal with it?
[12:37] UA: >.>
[12:38] AA: Oh dont give me that look. I know itll be... decent
[12:39] UA: :D better
[12:39] AA: Anyways, get to lass-scampering away now. Corner those ghastly bastards!
[12:39] UA: Okay, gonna bust some ghosts
[12:39] UA: thank you for helping C! see ya in a bit! <3
[12:39] -- unsolvedAnomalies [UA] ceased pestering arduousArtificer [AA] at 00:39 --


You grab your TORCH and go into the hallway you rarely visit. On account it being probably haunted maybe.

>Jack: Do something while the Sburb finishes Torrenting.
Instead of watching the tiny bar slowly finish loading, you guess you could break in your new STRIFE SPECIBUS.

>Jack: Equip.
You equip your meger KITCHEN KNIFE, then realise you have nothing to spar with.

>Jack: Check cuboard for sparing partener.
You unequip your KITCHEN KNIFE and make your way over to your cuboard.

>Jack: Open it.
Your hand slowly makes its way to the door handle, then pulls it open. You attempt to YOUTH ROLL out of the way, but fail, and are subsequently trapped under the AVALANCE of OLD HOBBIES.

Ow, looks like you're regretting taking fencing right about now.

You stop mixing, because the records have finished. But you pretend it was your own decision, as much as someone with an obsession with random chance can decide to do something.

>Isaac: Waste more time.

You decide to check Pesterchum. Noah, Amber and Luke are online, but Amber's probably still doing various ENTERTAINING BIRTHDAY ACTIVITIES and you've already spoken to Luke.

You smile to yourself as you close the CHAT WINDOW and lean back in your CHAIR.It always is a pleasure to speak with Lareth,even if you do think that most of how she acts is a front she puts up but,of course,that matters little to you.She can do as she wishes.It just makes things more FUN.

You get up front the CHAIR and decide it may be time to check up on SHARKMOM.She may have gotten home from one of her NIGHTLY HUNTS,and you would hate to miss her before she leaves again.Oh how you long to go with her.But alas you can't breath underwater.If only the SEABLOODS knew how lucky they were.

>Stop whining and go outside

You stuff your GRUBTOP into FLOWER MODUS,meaning you won't be able to retrieve it until the SEED it is in grows into a FLOWER,but you can wait.You remember to grab your ANCHORKIND weapon,SCOURGE OF THE DEPTHS,before you leave as it would be very foolish to leave without it.An experienced SCOUNDRATEERS would never be without his weapon and you shall be no exception!

You leave your RESPITEBLOCK behind and start to make your way through your HIVE toward the BACKDOOR.

Everything out of the god damn way. You got a hat full of badges, a shirt full of lightning, and an mind full of references.

You land, and amongst the various item kept from your past hobbies, spot Geromy. That's not the original name of the stuffed Giraffe that you've had for the better part of your life, and has ended up being launched onto your bed, but his yellow skin and brown spots lend themselves so perfectly to the name.

>Jack: Find you sparing partner.
You look all over your room, but you can't find him. Your gaze drifts back to Geromy...

> ====>
No!
You can't do it. You can't stab the girrafe.

>Lareth: Enter.

You step into the MYSTERIOUS RUINS, your SHITTY AIRSOFT REVOLVER in hand. This is exciting - you've never been in here before! Which is because you wanted to preserve the place's AURA OF MYSTERY. And not at all because you were a little TERRIFIED of the curious temple, with its sinister shadows, disturbing iconography and grimy dankness.

As you creep further into the temple, the comforting Alternian darkness behind you fades away, replaced by another kind of darkness, unpleasant and all-consuming. You soon lose functional use of your sight, and with it, any hope of defense from whatever cruel torments this place might conceal.

Your TOTAL LACK OF ANY FEAR WHATSOEVER is entirely justified when all of a sudden you hear a somewhat unusual sound. It resembles a low moan of horror, the sound a dying man might make upon staring once and for all into the infinite vastness of eternity. It is the note desolation plays, when desolation is a metaphor for the incomprehensible horrorterrors of the ethereal abyss. It would most accurately be transcribed as "ribbit".

>Lareth: Abscond.

You do so as fast as you can LASS SCAMPER.

C: Get to Work

Alright, you have your order! One ghostbusting device for your normality-deficent friend. You admit to yourself that this is a bit away from your usual areas of expertise, but hey this entire fields about trying out the new stuff right?

C: Consult Sister on Exactitudes of Ectocidal Procedures

No.
That won't do. You got this, no need to turn to her. In fact, you may actually not even need to ask her, or make anything for that matter! Falling back onto your closet you take out your key and head on in. This is where you keep your little tools and inventions that you either make in your spare time or keep should someone cancel their order.

Hanging in there are a number of inconspicuous items on shelves, such as a large blue backpack, a large mechanical looking glove with a glowing node on the back, and a assortment of other miscellania, both mundane and interesting looking.

C: Look Through and Find Your Target

Scouring along the back wall you start sorting through more junk.
Nope.
No.
Definantley Not.
Maybe not today...
That wont solve THAT problem.
AH! There we are!

You pick up a box full of small spheroids. There were the size of a racquetball a piece though each one had a small LED display on the front, each was currently blank. Grinning you take on out and scurry back to the workbench in your room, kicking the door shut behind you.

C: Make Adjustments to Device

These little babies were one of your first solo projects. A guy came in asking for... you aren't exactly sure what he wanted it FOR, but he asked for something that could make a loud noise with minimum damage. You certainly gave him what he asked, no explosions or bangs in there, just a massive explosion of sound. You weren't one for asking questions and got to work, you pumped these things out in near record time. Simple design for a simple result, if not mildly destructive to things with a sensitive structure, last time you fired one of these off for testing you managed to blow all the windows out in a five block radius, setting off most of the car alarms in the area and just about killing every bird in the surrounding area from shock.
You keep kinda quiet on that event. But the result was still what was asked for, and you got paid. Good times, those.

Now, based on the whole idea of the ghosts being creatures based around an non-solid structure no normal ordinance could put an end to them. So perhaps if you could retool these to a proper frequency you might JUST be able to disrupt their structure, collapsing them to a puddle of good while not harming anyone else, at least until they reform.
IF they reform.

You crack open the casing and begin making alterations

C: Finish Modified Device and Deliver To Amber

Yeah... that should do it. Just altering a few settings and tightening a few screws here and there, rerouting power...
Bingo!

So, let's just send this out via the Space-And-Matter-Allocation-Device (Name Not Final) that you sent her present out earlier and this problem will be taken care of!

FIRE IN THE-whuhoh.

That burst of static and orange flash wasn't normal. Seems like there was a bit of interference there. You frown slightly at that but you reason that it still should have been in the proper general area.
You'll sort that out soon, first things first time to get a hold of your friend and let her know that arrived.

AA: Amber! Good news, got the right tool for the job now
UA: hey C! so soon alreafy?
UA: *already
AA: Just sent it over, this should take care of your ectoplasmic transients.
UA: sorry, using the phone :\
AA: Yup. I don't waste time
AA: You get reception out there?
UA: um
UA: sometimes :D
AA: Shit, I barely get two bars and I'm in the middle of the city!
UA: where'd you send it?
AA: Remind me to switch to your plan later...
AA: Anyways
AA: I sent it to the last coordinates I used for you
AA: So check by your room
AA: There was a little interference though, so it could possibly have drifted anywhere from 10 to 100 feet from that point
UA: Oh! Okay, gotta run back then. I went out exploring the less busy tunnels of the casle
UA: which had no lights >.>
UA: or windows
AA: Oh, that's a good point then.
AA: Now that you bring it up, I should give you a heads up
AA: This little baby will pack a whallop. In the end I did go with the sonar-based wave distortion that will render those ghosts unable to hold their forms.
AA: But, since there was no time for testing it may have one or two drawbacks you should know of
AA: One big one being that the blast MAY be a bit... well, loud.
AA: It will be ill advised to have unprotected ears or any glass around when you fire that sucker off.
UA: okay! i'll bring earplugs!
AA: Thattagirl.
AA: But, other than some little tweaks here and there it should be solid.
UA: ..you totally had one of these laying around for emergency ghost problems, didntya? :D
AA: No.
UA: liar >:)
AA: But.... I did have a plan set aside for the possibility of something like this...
AA: I'd like to see you prove that in a court of law.
UA: pffffhaha
UA: I told luke! :D
AA: Told who what now?
UA: that you had one of these on standby
AA: Blahblahblah.
AA: Just get the device and get your disc back!
UA: yes ma'am
AA: No point in making me play this game if you can't yourself, is there?
UA: is it this weird looking ball thing?
AA: Bingo.
UA: neat! looks like a small grenade thing!
AA: Indeed.
AA: And like a grenade don't expect much use past the first one here.
AA: Odds are it'll blow itself out after the initial frequency
UA: Well I'm sure I'll have little ghostly problems after this
AA: I haven't perfected a finalized, reusable model yet...
AA: No
AA: Certainly not, or your money back.
UA: the C Guarantee!
UA: but yeah i'm gonna blow up some ghostly assholes
AA: Also, it'll have the bonus of driving away pretty much all avian life within a 5 mile radius.
AA: Good luck to you then. Give 'em hell.
UA: ..there's life in a 5 mile radius here?
AA: I'm speaking in what we've figured out from testing in areas that are inhabited by life, not something that's like the surface of the moon!
UA: :D i love you too C
UA: but yeah see ya in a bit!

>AMBER: GET ADVENTURIN' ALREADY

You get to your adventuring already. With C'S ECTOPLASMIC WEAPON in your left hand and the torch in your other, you creep through the dark hallways of your castle. You let your mind wanter on how absurd it is to having hallways and chambers you don't use in the place you live, but then you remember you're a kid who lives in Romania with her crazed mother.

Yeeeaaah. This is totally sane.

>AMBER: SNOOP AROUND

You snoop around and see a red shadow enter a room. The door is thrown shut and the loud thump is heard reverberating against the empty hallways. Your GODDAMN SHIT BALLS OH FUCK meter pops up and nearly fills.

>AMBER: ENTER ROOM

You don't wanna! D:

>YOU ENTER THAT ROOM

nonononononono

>YOU ENTER THAT ROOM THIS INSTANT

ok, whatever. you've got a hand full of weapon and a head full of adventure.

You enter the room and see three grinning, differently coloured spirits all dancing around in a pattern. The door shuts behind you, and immediately three different voices scream at you.

>AMBER: JUST THROW THE DAMN WEAPON ALREADY

You dislodge your fingers from your ears and lob the small grenade thing. It folds out in mid air. The dust floating around in the room compresses and visualises the shockwave slamming against the ghosts.

They explode in an avalanche of Ectogoop.

FUCK.

Oh hey the book containing the disks.

>AMBER: OKAY NOW GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM AND START THIS SHIT

You wade through the ectogoop and out of the room and start to retrace your steps back to your room. During this, you start to message dudes on your rad phone.

[12:10] UA: GHOSTS SUCK
[12:10] UA: THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO SAY ON THE MATTER
[12:10] AA: Yes, but if all went to plan they got what was coming to them.
[12:10] AA: Did you get your things back?
[12:10] UA: yesss :D
[12:11] UA: mah prezzies are safe and sound
[12:11] AA: Perfect, so I take it the device worked just fine. No unpleasant suprises?
[12:11] UA: um
[12:12] AA: Um?
[12:12] UA: you can add a change of ethereal to ectoplasm matter to the possible results
[12:13] AA: Well, their composition was disrupted and you were able to easily get your items back right?
[12:14] UA: yeah but
[12:14] UA: like the entire basement is a green goop
[12:15] AA: Well, that wasn't unexpected
[12:15] AA: But either way, you got what was needed!
[12:15] UA: yesss :D
[12:17] AA: Great, so slap that disk in the computer and lets get this rolling.
[12:17] AA: I have my own disc downloading right now
[12:17] UA: okay
[12:18] UA: um which one should I use?
[12:18] AA: Which one? There should only be the one right?
[12:18] UA: No? I got two of them :?
[12:20] AA: Huh... this may be problematic then.
[12:20] UA: nono i'll just put them in one after another
[12:20] UA: no problem :D
[12:21] AA: No, not your excess of disks. My lack of one.
[12:22] AA: Eh, whatever. Probably not too important
[12:22] UA: I'm Sure It Will Not Be An Issue
[12:23] AA: Whats with the sudden capitalization?
[12:24] UA: uh
[12:24] UA: i'm not sure
[12:24] UA: it just happened
[12:25] UA: ok it says it's connecting
[12:25] AA: Suuuure...
[12:25] AA: Hm, you too?
[12:25] AA: Mines been saying this for a while
[12:25] UA: ok now it just says connected
[12:25] UA: and it's not doing that much...
[12:26] AA: Huh...
[12:26] AA: Oh, it looks like mine has just connected as well.
[12:26] UA: !
[12:26] AA: ... okay, this isn't what I was expecting
[12:27] UA: what isn't?
[12:27] AA: The game just opened up. And now I'm looking into some... castle?
[12:28] AA: Lets see... I can pan the camera around. And... oh
[12:28] UA: ooh a castle?
[12:30] AA: Say, Amber. Do you just so happen to be in your bedroom?
[12:30] UA: I do just to happen to yes
[12:30] UA: whyssat?
[12:31] AA: Do me a favor. Look a bit to your... right
[12:31] UA: why what's there?
[12:31] AA: You are now currently looking at my screen.
[12:31] UA: : ?
[12:32] UA: i am looking at outside
[12:32] UA: windowthroughwise
[12:32] AA: I wonder if this is really...
[12:33] AA: Okay, don't move.
[12:34] UA: not moving yes ma'am
[12:34] UA: fuck the ghosts are back
[12:34] UA: and they have my bed! D:
[12:35] AA: No, no. It's just that this game seems to let me move all your shit around.
[12:35] UA: oh what
[12:35] AA: Now, this is an interesting development...
[12:35] UA: that is a bit weird
[12:35] AA: Oh, and it seems that I can start adding some stuff too
[12:36] UA: neat! like what?
[12:37] AA: Well, like this big thing for instance. Lets just drop this in the corner for you
[12:37] UA: this thing doesn't make much sense...
[12:38] AA: Well, it IS a game. A certain amount of whimsical bullshit that doesn't make sense is to be expected.
[12:40] AA: Hmm, while you unravel that mystery I'm going to start laying down the other equipment.
[12:40] UA: it's...like a
[12:40] UA: machine
[12:40] UA: thing
[12:41] AA: Say, this old table doesnt seem too important does it? I'm just going to ditch it for now
[12:41] UA: wait what table
[12:42] AA: Indeed, what table. Either way you have this fancy new item here.
[12:42] AA: Looks to be some sort of advanced Lathe
[12:43] UA: D: THAT WAS THE DINNERTABLE
[12:43] UA: whatsa lathe?
[12:43] AA: Hmm... well whatever it is, well was, it's gone now.
[12:43] AA: Oh, you use it to carve things at high speeds with good precision.
[12:44] UA: ooh
[12:44] AA: A rather handy tool, we have some down here in the workshop
[12:44] UA: it looks like a sowing machine
[12:44] UA: oh man you dropped one of the suits of armour
[12:44] UA: mum's gonna be so pissed
[12:44] AA: Please, you have too many anyways
[12:45] UA: so what am i supposed to do with these things you're dropping?
[12:45] AA: Okay, so lets move on to a new place to drop this last item.
[12:45] UA: oh there's more?
[12:45] AA: Hm? I dont know, you're the one who picked out the game
[12:45] AA: I thought you'd know what to do
[12:45] AA: Well, one more big one.
[12:46] UA: there enough room?
[12:46] AA: These ones are highlighted, and are the only ones I can really drop right now
[12:46] AA: And I dont know
[12:47] AA: Perhaps you should suggest a place so I don't ruin more eating habitats.
[12:47] UA: um..
[12:47] UA: the courtyard?
[12:47] AA: Sure. Lets drop it...
[12:47] AA: Oh
[12:47] AA: I didn't intend ot be that literal.
[12:48] UA: yeesh
[12:48] UA: you're not that good at games are you xD
[12:48] AA: I tried dragging it out the window and placing it, but it seemed to stop moving all of a sudden...
[12:48] AA: And not entirely. I don't play these things for a reason
[12:49] AA: Anyways that's... out there.
[12:49] UA: what's it called?
[02:11] AA: aparently it's called the alchemiter
[02:11] AA: And... that about does it for all the free stuff it seems.
[02:12] UA: aw :(
[02:12] UA: wait what do you mean free stuff? gotta pay for the rest?
[02:12] UA: I hate DLC :mad:
[02:12] AA: Well, no. It's not like your shelling out extra cash for some ancient companion you unseal to kick ass with.
[02:12] AA: I mean in game currency
[02:13] UA: oh like that!
[02:13] AA: These little...
[02:13] AA: Blue gems it seems.
[02:13] UA: hmm
[02:14] UA: well there's this thing in my bedroom
[02:14] UA: i think i'll mess around with that first
[02:14] AA: Sounds good, I guess I'll try and get used to these controls.
[02:15] UA: so um
[02:15] AA: Maybe theres something useful it can let me do
[02:15] UA: well
[02:15] UA: there's this cap on the tube
[02:15] UA: but it's...kinda stuck
[02:16] AA: Then find something and pry it off! Or if you dont mind a little wonton violence I can try baeting it off with some object of yours.
[02:16] UA: i'll just baet it with these drumsticks of yours
[02:17] UA: they should do the trick, right?
[02:17] AA: Sure, those babies are made to take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. No harm in trying.
[02:18] UA: righto gonna try it
[02:18] -- unsolvedAnomalies [UA] 's drumsticks exploded! --
[02:18] AA: ...
[02:18] AA: That is not meant to happen.

Vastar: What are you up to?

You've been tinkering around with your SECRET PROJECT for a while, the main challenge isn't so much as building the panels as making them able to absorb the correct light wavelength. This is nearly impossible, since you are not a greenblood who has stronger sunlight resistance, therefore you can't really analyze the stupid star. Sure, you could just trollgle pictures, but you'd rather be able to test it than to just assume it works. You look out the window and see that your lusus has landed near your pond, and is asleep. Well at least she's safe now.
You worry way too much kid.
You do not! You worry JUST the right amount.
If you worried too much you would notice that they sky is starting to get lighter, despite it still being the middle of the night.

>Luke: For the love of all things holy, hellish, and Lovecraftian, stop staring at the MAILBOX with you jaw hanging open and do something. Can do boss.

Finally getting your act together, you pounce upon the tin contraption, feasting your eyes on the treasures hidden within the MAILBOX.

You get ONE (1) PILE OF BILLS AND JUNK MAIL! (1 Red, 1 Black)
You get ONE (1) BROWN PAPER PACKAGE TIED UP WITH STRING! (4 Colorless)
You cannot get TWO (2) SBURB ENVELOPES! (2 White, 2 Blue, 2 Black, 2 Red, 2 Green each)

Two envelopes? Huh, you would have figured that Sburb came on a single disc. Evidently, you thought wrong. Of course, such conjecture is pointless at the moment, considering that you are unable to store either of the discs inside your SYLLADEX. And God knows that you're not going to just carry the stuff upstairs; that's way too complicated.

Sigh... you suppose that you'll have to scrounge around until you can find enough Lands to do so.

>Luke: Embark on an epic quest, facing incredible danger and treacherous foes along the way! You spend thirty minutes digging through the junk around your house. At some point in the middle, you take a bit of a break to chat with Amber, who is apparently suffering from an infestation of ghosts. You're really not sure how to react to that.

Regardless of ethereal pests, you eventually manage to find the cards you need, stuffing them unceremoniously into your FETCH MODUS. Your newly expanded mana pool is just big enough to store the SBURB ENVELOPES, and you waste no time scampering back outside to retrieve them.

> Jack:Get on with it!
Right, you finish stuffing the pile of loose junk back into you cuboard, and latch the door so it won't open. Your room's still looks like a bomb's gone off in it, but now it's a slightly smaller bomb, maybe a handgrenade or two.

>Jack: Search somewhere else.
You open your door and emerge....my god, you emerge to.....
Your living room.

There's not much to see, another bookcase takes up the wall, only stopped by your door. The wall are decorated in posters of you and your dad, musicians rocking out, or you and your dad watching musicians rock out.
A TV sits in the corner, along with a record player (Your dad sometimes likes to kick it real oldschool) and a large box which holds your fathers record collection.

>Jack: Turn on the TV.
You do so, and as you flick through the channels, you see most are showing reruns of some disaster movie, looks like Armageddon or Deep Impact from the looks of it.
