>Chas: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH! You made THE SALESMAN'S MINIATURE TRIDENT! With an easy-grip handle, tines that have been filed down to a point, and made of the finest stainless steel, the TRIDENT is the epitome of sample wares.
You punch the ARCHERY TARGET and...nothing happens.Well that was anti-climatic.You scratch your head and try to think of what to try next when you see that the TARGET is starting to crack more.You watch the cracks go down the middle of the target and then...A FLASH OF LIGHT fills the room as the TARGET breaks in half.
>Greg:Enter Medium
You lower your hand from your eyes as the LIGHT dissapates.You blink.You see that the ACHERY TARGET is now gone.You run over to the window and look outside and your eyes go wide.You see the VOLCANO is still there but now you seem to be a bit higher off the ground.On top of a TOWER it seems.So high you can't even SEE the ground.
You take a deep breath.Well looks like your not in Kansas anymore.Or Florida for that matter.
You decide to look around the house to make everything is still in one piece.
You waste absolutely no time in chasing the MASSIVE HAND as it retreats out your WINDOW. You look down at the remains of your ruined poster, the stern face of TOMMY LEE JONES watching you. You can almost hear him say "Go, the kid needs you more than I do." You respect MR. JONES' wishes and hop out the window, ready to throw down with whatever MONSTER has dared steal your precious WILL SMITH.
>Chas: Your attempt at creating some more HEROIC DUDS yields the CANDY-STRIPED BUSINESS SUIT. It's basically the HARD-BROILED BUSINESS SUIT except colored orange, yellow, and white. -10 Build Grist, -10 Chalk.
You also create the TELEMARKETER'S GLASSES, a pair of glasses with a smart-phone interface built in! They also shoot lasers. They are awesome. -75 Build Grist, -15 Shale.
>Greg: As you examine your house, you see that all the doors and windows are still locked. Nuts.
Naturally, you have no idea where your MOTHER is. You can never find her when she doesn't want to be found.
You do, however, find Perrywinkle sitting on a windowsill, staring out at your new location. When he hears you enter the room, he hops down and begins to follow you.
>Dirk: As you jump out the window, you see the offending SHALE OGRE. Wow, he's big. And he's holding a very big wrench as well. In his Gundam arm. Wow, this is going to be tough.
You notice the torn remains of WILL SMITH'S face lying on the ground.
As you go through the house and make sure that everything is as it should be you find that the windows and doors still seem to be locked.Lovely.Oh well,just another problem to solve later.
You also find your MOTHER'S Cat sitting atop a windowsill and staring out upon your new location.He turns his head and spots you,jumping down from the sill and starts following you around.You don't blame him.
The LIVING ROOM is the same as it was before the bright light.The KITCHEN is fine as well save for a few dishes that fell to the floor in all the shaking and now lay broken.You will need to clean that up later.
Of course though out the search you don't find hide nor hair of your MOTHER.Not surprising as SHE is probably watching from some secret NINJA ROOM or something.
Well everything around here seems to be in order.You decide to check your room to make sure none of your books were damaged.
As you are walking to your room,your PDA gives off a beep.Someone is pestering you.

[12:28:37] AL: Hey

[12:31:12] AL: You know how to change my sprite thing?
[12:31:53] GK: Yes,simple throw whatever you want to combine it with into the sprite
[12:33:47] GK: Do you have any idea what you want to use Beth?
[12:33:53] AL: Yeah
[12:34:00] AL: It's a hand puppet
[12:34:17] GK: Hmm that would work,just don't use one of your inventions
[12:34:53] GK: Not that I don't trust your building skills...I just don'y trust this game not to use them to kill us
[12:34:54] AL: My mum made it for me and Fran when we were little to help us with injections
[12:35:09] AL: It's a Dr Bear
[12:35:20] AL: Would that be a good idea?
[12:35:24] GK: I don't see that being a problem
[12:35:32] AL: Ok thanks
[12:35:48] AL: It's not like a real bear
[12:35:54] AL: Just a nitted one
[12:36:00] AL: and it doesn't have feet
[12:36:02] GK: we already had someone protoype a mech and I protoyped a practice dummy
[12:36:12] AL: Ok cool
[12:36:46] GK: And now I'm guessing I'm in the same place as the others >.>..or on a tower at the least
[12:37:17] AL: Yeah
[12:37:29] AL: Me and winston just saw an imp
[12:37:51] GK: Ahh I haven't seen one yet.Not that I'm rushing to do so anyway
[12:38:09] AL: ok
[12:38:18] AL: It was scared off by winston
[12:38:54] GK: I don't blame it.He would probably scare me if I didn't know you very well
[12:39:02] AL: Yeah
[12:39:07] AL: So what's your Sprite?
[12:39:23] GK: As it stands,a Dummysprite
[12:39:36] AL: Oh weird
[12:39:38] GK: I'm still thinking of what to combine it with next
[12:39:43] AL: Random thought but
[12:39:56] AL: If the Bear is a doctor
[12:40:13] AL: Will it know loads of medical stuff?
[12:40:44] GK: /shrug The dummy that I used was a practice dummy wearing ninja clothing
[12:40:52] AL: Ok
[12:40:59] GK: Your guess is as good as mine if it will know anything
[12:41:04] AL: Ok
[12:41:13] AL: Well I'll just go try that,
[12:41:29] AL: cya

You hope that conversation will help Beth some and that she will careful still.Oh well,onward to your room.You decide to keep the PDA in your hand,just in case.
You were TOO LATE. You cannot help but shed multiple tears as you sob out apologies to your main man WILL SMITH. You whisper your FINAL GOODBYES before rising to your feet, BASSWORD in hand. That OGRE will pay. THEY WILL ALL PAY!

You follow DRNEDDELSPRITE outside, where he directs you to look up. He points out the FIRST GATE, and explains that you must build your way up to it. Only then can your adventure continue.
He also says that he'll be around if you have any more questions.
>Dirk: Your HARUHARA BLADE deals a lot of damage to the OGRE. However, that just kind of made it mad.
Suddenly, a STEEL D20 slams into your opponent's face, knocking him down. You spin around, and see your SIS watching you from the roof. She's got one of DISCONCERTING GRINS on her face.
She tosses you a balled up piece of paper and jumps off the roof. She then proceeds to jump off the edge of your stone island. You're sure she'll be fine.
You almost get to your room when someone pesters you.Another strange being.

Huh,another human.Could more have escaped?Or was he lying?You shrug your shoulders and decide to figure that out later.But anyways you are at your ROOM DOOR.
Just before you enter you stop and put your ear to the door as you think you hear movement of the other side.And the sound of items being moved and tossed.
You open the door to your ROOM and everything seems to slowdown.You look upon the carnage.
Seven creatures,which you would guess are the creatures called IMPS,are going through your BOOKSHELVES and tearing your BOOKS apart.
You stand there FROZEN.You wonder if your heart had stopped.A feeling your not used to seems to have gripped you.You think its called shock or atleast thats what you think its called.You just can't seem to take your eyes off the scene.
And then the CAT hisses at the IMPS which seems to draw their attention to you.After a moment they grab the nearest book,likely to use as a weapon against you,and charge you.
You watch them advancing toward you,everything still almost in slow mo.
Your REALLY COOL GUY meter drains rapidly.As it hits the bottom you feel it.The one emotion that you have tried your whole life to control.It bubbles up inside of you and yet in your
current state you can't seem to fight it.The shock is still too great.Your eyes seem to darken and gain a tint of red,though it might just be a trick of the light,and you start to breath heavy.The Rage is upon you.You ready your KNIGHT'S SWORD and prepare to rip these IMPS apart.
You're sure that whatever your SIS wanted to say was important, but right now what's more important is beating the shit out of this OGRE. He has a PRICE to pay for taking the life of WILL SMITH. You hop onto his ROTUND BELLY as the BREEZE picks up, his RED SCARF flapping against the twilight sky. You equip your HYPERION GUNBLADE and commence its ULTIMATE FINISHER MOVE:
>Chas: Your ALCHEMY BINGE has the following results:
SHITTY ALTERNIAN PITCHFORK! A giant pitchfork. -125 Build Grist, -15 Amber Grist.
THE HARD-BROILED HEADSET! Hey, now your glasses match your suit! Awesome. -75 Build Grist, -15 Shale Grist.
BRIEFCASE COMPUTER! It's a computer that can be carried around like a briefcase. Alright. -100 Build Grist.
>Dirk: You EXECUTE the OGRE in a truly epic manner. It causes you to level up to a level 10 Adolescent Tutor. You now have a total of 127,725 Boondollars.
You also gain 203 units of Build Grist and 157 units of Shale.
