"Though I can't speak in the long term, what I need right now is everything you've got on a certain white-suited Derse agent; dressed up like some mobster out of the '30s, crazy like a vampire in a blood bank. Name, history, weaknesses, anything you can give me.
>Future Dirk: Go to Xavier
You are fairly certain Rich is probably still in a sour mood at you, for being so INSPIRINGLY OPTIMISTIC, so you opt to go find Xavier instead. He porbably could use some help.
You nod to the SPRITE's question.Yes,I am. You give the SPIRTE a little bow before replying Greg Markos,Knight of Space,at your service.
You give the area you are in a quick look before asking Is Rich around by any chance?
I am down for a spritelog even ever you are Pappy.Just bug me on pesterchum when ever you feel like.
As for the Alpha Session idea,it could be fun.But I would want to wait and see how this campaign goes before we start thinking of that .No point in thinking that a Scratch is needed quite yet.Just my two cents.
Well, I'm kind of on my way out the door to a funeral as I type, and will then be meeting with a family friend to discuss a programming project for a class that's been hanging over my head for months now, and then will likely spend the rest of the day being lectured about how I'm the scum of humanity by my ever-loving mother.
So, update sometime tonight? In less then 12 hours, I guess?
Ouch, sorry to hear about all of that. And I mean that in a way more sincerely than my text makes it sound. Take your time, I was just making a joke about being impatient.
As for an alpha session, I'd be up for it. Though I'd essentially be playing the same character, just in girl form, and with a love for Dungeons and Dragons and other tabletop games instead of anime and action cliches.
>Rich: Your YOUTH LEAP carries you through the Third Gate, and into a new Land. I think it's Xavier's? Need to check that... Yep.
You find yourself landing on top of Xavier's house, in the Land of Clouds and Feathers. As the name implies, you find yourself surrounded by a lot of Clouds. And birds. Mostly parrots.
>Dirk: Oh, that delinquent? Yeah, Jack knows all about him. LR's file has passed through the Regent's office more than once. In fact, there's probably still a copy lying around somewhere...
Of course, you're going to have to do Jack a little favor before he can give you that. There are a couple decorations he wants for his office...
>Future Dirk: Assuming that you keep your traveling adventures to a minimum, you probably arrive on the Land of Sea and Crystal just as Xavier is beginning to battle the SUBAQUATIC HYDRA. Which I haven't really described yet. Should probably get on that.
>Xavier: As you draw your blades, two large heads burst from the water, each perched on a long, scale-covered neck. Said heads boast several large curved spikes running down their backs, and mouths full of razor-sharp fangs.
The head on the right opens its mouth slightly, allowing a forked tongue to flick in your direction. The other head merely growls at you.
>Chas: Your attempts to attack the shop deal no damage. It seems that BOONBUCKS do not make effective weapons. You do, however, manage to start a small riot in the SHOP as the GECKOS attempt to snatch up your discarded currency.
The GECKO running the shop does show you his wares, however, after quelling the squabble. So there's that.
BLAZING CADENCE. LIGHT AND SPACE. 10 BOONBUCKS.
LUMINOUS CAPRICCIO. LIGHT AND LIFE. 10 BOONBUCKS.
CHORALE OF FORTUNE. LIGHT AND MIND. 10 BOONBUCKS.
COURAGEOUS COURANTE. LIGHT AND HOPE. 10 BOONBUCKS.
>GM: Express confusion about Alpha Session. Really? I mean, sure, of course you guys could cause a Scratch if you wanted to; this being Homestuck, that's always an option.
Um... okay then. Go for it if you want to, I guess.
You do so, though you're a little worried by what he means. You have a very bad feeling that Jack is not particularly fun to work for. You're probably just crazy, though. There's almost certainly no precedent of Jack sending a Sburb player on a suicide mission, betraying him, or anything like that.
>Future Dirk: Watch Xavier
You happen to be waiting from a high point nearby, though you don't interfere just yet. The whole point of your mission right now is making the others stronger, and that just won't happen unless they learn to beat their foes on their own.
>CJ: Explain Alpha Session Shenanigans
I can't speak for the others, but I was just talking about it hypothetically. While it would certainly be interesting, I don't think it's in anyone's plans right now.
The clouds are quite pretty, though you're already starting to miss the distorted conflagrations of the Land of Glass and Flame.
The birds are a bit odd. Less odd than CLOCKWORK CROCODILES, but still odd.
>Rich: Lead Sheriff Quickdraw in exploring the Land of Clouds and Feathers.
Lacking any better idea, and a bit disoriented owing to your sudden departure from your own land, you PSCHOOOO into the skies, looking for points of interest.
>Dirk: Jack deploys his WAR CHEST, a large chest full of various pointy, bloodstained objects and a couple LICORICE SCOTTY DOGS. After rummaging through his stuff for a moment, he hands you three items: Two slips of paper, each bearing a white crown (One a king's, the other a queen's) and a black REGISWORD. Yeah, you know where this is going.
You want LR's file? Bring Jack the crowns of the White King and Queen, and he'll be more then happy to oblige you. Now get off his roof; he's still got some scowling to do.
>Rich: Points of interest, huh? Let's see here... you spot what seems to be a GIANT BIRDHOUSE, with tons of PARROTS flocking about it. Probably a SHOP or something interesting in there.
Various Underlings can be seen running amok on the clouds all around you, getting up to all kinds of mischief. Some are chasing after PARROTS, but you can also see several groups gathering around several STRANGE MACHINES. Said machines seem to be in the process of being assembled.
Far to the West, on the edge of the horizon, you can make out a thin black line...
>Xavier: It seems that the creatures' backs are still hidden underneath the water. It's kind of hard to attack something you can't see.
You do, however, manage to DELIVER YOUR STABS into their necks. Quite effectively, in fact. One of the creatures begins to bleed heavily, and the other's head topples off its shredded neck, falling into the water below. Well, that was certainly easy, and WHY IS THE HEAD GROWING BACK? TWICE?
>Chas: You purchase the FRAYMOTIFS for a grand total of 125 BOONBUCKS. The GECKO happily accepts your money, and you feel kind of tingly. In a good way.
