>Dirk: Investigate voice

You look around, but can't seem to find anyone there to speak to you. You lean out the window and try to see if there is anyone close enough to be speaking to you.

>Connor: Believe you have enough stuff.

George Carlin's monolog about stuff runs though your head as you start to think about you personally having enough stuff. You're pretty sure, that for all intensive purposes, you may have enough stuff to get though the day. You go back though the return node and head to see if the turtles have the store open TO BUY (you guessed it) MORE STUFF.

>Xavier: Be befuddled
Way ahead of ya, broseph. You were kinda expecting the CHERBOUG/ARCANOC OR WHATEVER would be flapping around, sending legions of MINIONS like A NIGHT ON BALD MOUTAIN from Fantasia (thus the name), but...

He's not doing much. Perhaps, he just wants to go back to sleep.

>Xavier: Negotiate
You speak as softly as you can, people hate it when you yell at them first thing when they wake up.
"Hey, buddy, listen. I really don't want to fight you, especially right after you woke up. Plus, I've been running around in this dungeon for what feels what feels like weeks, and I'm pooped. So, if you could be kind enough, and I know you are, could you open the door for my companion and point the way to the gate?"
You ask sweetly, people love sugar in the morning, makes them feel like its going to be a good day.

>Dirk:

A reservoir of darkness, black
As witches' cauldrons are, when fill'd
With moon-drugs in th' eclipse distill'd
Leaning to look if foot might pass
Down thro' that chasm, I saw, beneath,
As far as vision could explore,
The jetty sides as smooth as glass,
Looking as if just varnish'd o'er
With that dark pitch the Seat of Death
Throws out upon its slimy shore.


You stare into the unknowable void that is the outer rim. Lifeless, empty, naught but pure oblivion. In that mysterious darkness, pierced not by light, by sight, by knowledge of any mortal, gentle whispers float through the plains of blackness, carrying knowledge that would drive a man to madness. In that eternal abyss lies truth, lies, things that must never been seen and words that must never be spoken.

It just got Lovecraft as shit up in this *****.

[small]They are waiting for your call. Find the bridge.[/small]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Connor: Turns out that the TURTLES did get their STORE up and running. Yay! You examine their wares.
SEA SHELL: 5 BOONDOLLARS
SAND DOLLAR: 100 BOONDOLLARS
COCONUT: 250 BOONDOLLARS
D4. 256 BOONDOLLARS. (Math jokes are fun!)
PALM LEAF: 300 BOONDOLLARS
PALM LEAF HAT: 500 BOONDOLLARS
PALM LEAF VEST: 1,000 BOONDOLLARS
BOTTLE: 50,000 BOONDOLLARS

PRELUDE OF SIGHT: 525,000 BOONDOLLARS
KLANGFARBENMELODIE BEATDOWN: 716,000 BOONDOLLARS

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Xavier: As soon as you begin talking, the monster pushes off from the wall, and begins swooping towards you. It reaches out and attempts to grasp you in its claws.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Greg: Now that you finally know what your armor looks like, you are somewhat saddened by the realization that it probably doesn't have any space powers.

Then you remember that you can do PUNCH-CARD ALCHEMY. Right. That's still a thing.

>Greg:Examine new armor

You have to admit,you find the IMPERIAL DRONE ARMOR both really cool looking and kind of scary.Whats with all the spikes?You do recognize the symbol on the right gauntlet as the symbol of mAtEspRitship that Illire told you about.But you don't recognize the other.You would have to guess it would be the symbol for one of the other troll hate quadrants..what ever the heck they are.

Welp,nothing left to do now..other then to try the armor on of course.Minus the helmet.True Knights don't wear helmets.

>Greg:Don armor and attempt to walk around in it

>Rich: Behold.

[18:32] -- elwoodSprite [ES] began pestering truculentConservationist [TC] at 18:32 --
[18:32] ES: Hey kid, how's it going?
[18:33] TC: Suffice to say, it just got a lot better.
[18:33] ES: Damn right it did.
[18:33] ES: So, what can I do for you today?
[18:33] ES: Got any questions that need answers?
[18:34] ES: Any problems that need fixing?
[18:34] TC: Well, honestly, you've already fulfilled a more important role - mitigated the influence of unholy materials upon my psyche.
[18:34] TC: That said, I don't suppose you'd happen to have any information regarding "god tiers"?
[18:34] ES: Right, I was going to ask: What the fuck is with this spandex stuff?
[18:34] TC: Yeah, sorry about that.
[18:35] ES: And God-Tiers? Aren't you getting a bit ahead of yourself kid?
[18:35] TC: It was the product of a very very bad mistake.
[18:35] TC: I honestly don't know; a friend told me to ask about them.
[18:35] ES: Huh. Well, alright then.
[18:36] ES: Just let me access my untold depths of "spritey-knowledge" and see what I can tell you.
[18:36] ES: Let's see here... super-powerful, immortality, yadda yadda yadda...
[18:36] ES: Do you know where your Quest-Bed is by any chance?
[18:37] TC: I'm afraid I don't even know -what- it is.
[18:37] ES: Huh. Ain't that a shame.
[18:37] TC: I'm intrigued by the first few parts, though.
[18:38] ES: Well, basically, go find your Quest-Bed and take a nap on it.
[18:38] ES: Or do you want something a bit more on the specific side?
[18:39] TC: Specific would be helpful.
[18:40] ES: Welp, you're the Hero of Hope, right?
[18:40] TC: I am indeed.
[18:40] ES: Seems to me that becoming the fully realized Hope guy would mean that you've got control over all kinds of enthusiasm and shit like that.
[18:40] ES: Keep your friends happy, make your enemies sad, you know.
[18:41] TC: I'm guessing I'm not fully realized, then.
[18:41] ES: Nope.
[18:42] TC: So that's what I have to do?
[18:42] TC: Master the ways of enthusiasm?
[18:42] ES: Pretty much, yeah.
[18:43] ES: I think I'm supposed to keep it frustratingly vauge.
[18:43] TC: I'm simply staggered by the degree to which this could not go wrong.
[18:43] ES: Yep. Should be interesting to watch.
[18:43] TC: Hm. Are you being vague now?
[18:44] ES: Perhaps.
[18:44] TC: Sigh.
[18:45] TC: Well, I guess I've got one last question.
[18:45] TC: What, exactly, should I be doing now?
[18:45] ES: Only two? You finally meet your freaking glowing guide, and you've only got two questions?
[18:46] TC: Well, I've had external help.
[18:46] ES: Fine.
[18:46] ES: Well, what do you think you should be doing?
[18:46] TC: It's one of the few advantages of being way behind them in the game.
[18:46] TC: So far, I've been wandering from town to town, helping various individuals in pitifully minor ways.
[18:47] TC: Also, I didn't actually reach a second town.
[18:48] ES: Well, in that case, I'd say go out and do some exploration. See the sights, kill some monsters, level up.
[18:48] ES: Wait, who's your client player?
[18:49] TC: Greg.
[18:50] TC: Is that name, ah, remotely useful?
[18:50] ES: Ok... care to elaborate?
[18:50] ES: What's his Role?
[18:52] TC: I don't honestly know; I haven't spoken with him in a while, and no one's brought up his role in conversation.
[18:53] ES: Huh. Well, you should probably keep in contact with him and whoever's your server.
[18:53] ES: Building's kind of important in this game.
[18:53] TC: That would be a pair of internet trolls, that are also aliens.
[18:54] ES: Oh. Huh. How about that?
[18:54] TC: Yeah.
[18:54] ES: Well, in any case, build up I guess.
[18:54] TC: Just...up?
[18:54] ES: Yep.
[18:54] TC: How high?
[18:55] ES: Until you reach the Gate.
[18:55] TC: I would've expected him to reach his first Gate by now.
[18:56] ES: Wrong Gate.
[18:56] TC: Oh.
[18:56] ES: I mean the Eigth Gate.
[18:56] TC: ...Oh.
[18:56] TC: Are they just...stacked on top of one another?
[18:57] ES: Some are. Some aren't.
[18:57] TC: Huh.
[18:58] TC: Wouldn't his house...collapse, at some point?
[18:58] TC: I can't imagine a skyscraper cobbled together by a teenager is going to last very long.
[18:58] ES: Well, you gotta be a little careful. But, Sburb helps out when it has to.
[18:59] TC: Hm.
[19:01] TC: Well, alright, I'll try to build when I'm not busy being a daring explorer and vessel for transporting enthusiasm.
[19:01] ES: You do that.
[19:02] TC: Thanks for being relatively helpful.
[19:02] ES: No problem kid. It's what I'm here for.
[19:03] TC: And also for replacing the floating spandex that was previously following me around.
[19:03] TC: Its eyes were dark and soulless as the void between universes.
[19:03] ES: Yeah. It's kind of weird being merged with that thing, let me tell ya.
[19:04] TC: Sorry again about that.
[19:04] ES: Eh, I'll deal with it.
[19:05] TC: Alright.
[19:05] TC: Well, I'd better return to my gallivanting about.
[19:05] ES: And I'll work on getting the band back together.
[19:05] TC: You're on a mission from God.
[19:06] ES: That I am.
[19:06] -- truculentConservationist [TC] ceased pestering elwoodSprite [ES] at 19:06 --

>Rich: Resume daring adventure.

You release Sheriff Quickdraw and give him his MIDNIGHT JETPACK. Beckoning for him to follow you, you proceed to launch yourself towards a window. You remember immediately thereafter that the window was in fact closed. After solving this problem, your second attempt is a spectacular success; with (hopefully) Sheriff Quickdraw in tow, you set out for the road you were following prior to the formation of the HERO PILE.

>Dirk: engage genre savvy.

You back into your room, taking special care not to look up. Your mind has already to develop some explanation for what just happened. But there is no helping it. Your mind, acutely tuned to the impossible, has determined the presence of Nyarlathotep in SBurb. The question now is, do you trust him? For as blatantly evil as that voice sounded, there was something vaguely prophetic about it.

Whatever it was, you'll figure out what to do about its prophecies later. Right now you need to find out where the hell you are, and what you can even do. You decide to find a way out of this tower.

>Future Dirk: Realize Connor has left his home in the time it took to walk upstairs.

God damn it. You sit down in his APARTMENT and wait for his return.

Oh god, this place is... something else...

Oh hey, there's coconut cake in the fridge.

Will Future Dirk dare eat Commander Pinky Shepard Pie's Coconut Cake Surprise?? I would so laugh my ass off if you did, just saying.

>Greg: After donning the armor, you find that you are able to move around in it easily enough. Sure, like all armor it restricts your speed and flexibility, but it's nothing that you can't deal with.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Rich: You soon find the road again, and presumably follow it to its destination, another, slightly larger town, still built out of glass. The main difference here is the lack of Underlings running about, and the fact that the citizenry are not panicking.

You see a large group of about twenty CROCODILES marching through the streets, arranged in two orderly lines, with a larger Consort at their head. In addition, you think you can also make out another SURPLUS STORE, and another BULLETIN BOARD. Huh, it's like all these VILLAGES/TOWNS/WHATEVER all follow the same formula of buildings/landmarks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Connor: The clerk is unable to tell you much more than that the two items are FRAYMOTIFS.

As for the amount of money you currently have, the GM is not keeping track of it. Since, however, you don't want to go through the archive to find that out, he'll take some time out of his day to go back and do it for you. He won't be happy about it, however.

Also, while he's in a bad mood, the GM would like to take the opportunity to admonish you for trying to control another player's character. Not cool.

You appear to have approximately 200,000 BOONDOLLARS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Dirk: You are somewhat disappointed to find that the only way out of this tower appears to be the windows. You fail to spot a door, stairway, or exit of any other kind.

You guess you could try climbing out the window or something, but that might be kind of dangerous.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Future Dirk: While you wait for Connor's eventual return, you notice something pink flying toward the apartment. Soon, a pink Sprite, appearing as a pony dressed in futuristic combat armor, slips inside, looking around nervously.

"Is he gone?"

You do so.

>Rich: Examine both major landmarks in no particular order.

The store is a no-brainer, and you may as well check out the bulletin board, though your significantly increased APPREHENSION METER may prevent you from accepting any ZANY SIDEQUESTS!

>Xavier: You manage to fly up to the monster's head before it can recover from its attack. You flash out with your blade, and manage to slice off part of its ear before the creature soars away, shrieking in pain.

Again, it lands on the wall, twitching its uninjured ear, and hissing slightly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Rich: Right, let's check out the store first.

SPARE COG. 5 BOONDOLLARS.
CHUNK OF GLASS. 10 BOONDOLLARS.
SCREWDRIVER SET. 30 BOONDOLLARS.
MAP. 50 BOONDOLLARS.
EMPTY SHOTGUN SHELL. 75 BOONDOLLARS.
TUBE OF COLORED PASTE (RED, BLUE, OR GREEN). 100 BOONDOLLARS.

CHORALE OF CHEER. 525,000 BOONDOLLARS.
STRETTO BURST. 716,000 BOONDOLLARS.

And the bulletin board has all kinds of ZANY SIDEQUESTS! All of the zany sidequests.

Like, the arbitrary fetch quest that asks you to gather 10 of a certain item, likely held by Underlings in the nearby area.

Or, the required courier mission, having you carry a certain package to the next town over and deliver it to a certain individual once you arrive there.

And of course, the dreaded escort mission, wherein you must guard someone as they travel through Underling-infested wastes.

They all sound like such enjoyable, cliche ventures.

>Connor: Who is a GM?

You don't know, but he sounds like a pretty crabby guy. I bet he's got a lot of shit he can't handle. Too bad for him... Also, controlling other people? What?

Anyways, you buy the bottle and leaf hat. Yay.

>CG: You were only doing it for the sake of comedy.

As in, this thread is too up tight. Too much pointless eye gashing, troll drama, and never ending dungeons that high level players can magically get though while level 25 or so Xavier is still stuck in it, when I could get though my first dungeon in a snap.

I think the fact that Xavier is still stuck in there and not with this cool guy's original character (do not steal(wait, it's myself. Ha HA!)) so we can epically have epic adventures that me and him have been talking about for like, what now, two months maybe?

On a side note, I would like to point out that it would of been fucking amazing if Dirk got to eat that cake before Shepard Pie showed up. You two would of had fun with that sprite log.

I'm not joking, I was trying to do you a favor. I'm sure this whole talk between Future Dirk and Shepard Pie is gonna be boring.

Well, whatever cool guys. I don't really care, I'm just in this RP to make 4chan references that go over your heads and fuck up shit. And by fucking up shit, I mean doing it in a way the exact opposite direction then Chas, who is being so active but yet such an asshole that his character tends to fuck up the plot and makes him like a male whiny Vriska.

Also, Benndak, good job so far at trolling everyone. I never doubted you for anything but your bitches, and almost anything you've ever told me other than you being a master troll.

Man, this is the longest self insertion in history(ironically backed by a total self insertion). My poor writing skills, shitty spelling, asshole nature, and over all hipster douche bag like attitude will go down in infamy.

And you know what Pappy, Benndak, CJ, Metriod, Waffles, and Nightmare. I wouldn't want that or this thread any other forking way.

>Waffles: Sigh
I wasn't going to say anything, but...fuck.

Connor, we went over this in the Mall Fight thread, you can't be the GM all/any of the time. The mere fact that things did go out the way you planned is nobody's fault but your own. Pappy isn't "crabby" or "uptight", he's the GM! He governs what is and is not going to happen in this thread! Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe!, he knows exactly what he's doing? So Dirk didn't eat one cake, that's a small potatoes subplot in a whole orchard of well thought out plots!

All I'm saying is, post something plot related, at the very most, sparingly question the GM, have fun.
