The only optimistic character in the whole RP

==> Or you could go outside and watch the beginning of the end.

Beginning of the end? What are you talking about, command console? You suppose you might as well go outside, though. It's going to be a lovely night.

You go back to your room and retrieve your husktop, captchaloguing it in your MINECRAFT MODUS. Darned if that thing isn't the most fun way to retrieve objects. Then you go into the hall and enter your EXIT SHAFT. Falling down this thing was how you discovered the cave system, and you've widened and adjusted it since then. You climb up the ladder and shove open the trapdoor. It's a cool night, as nights in the eleventh perigee usually are, but a sudden hot wind blows in your face from the side. You turn, and your jaw drops. The forest is burning.

[Shipfish]

==> You should contact someone and figure out what on Alternia is going on.
OR
==> Find Kratus before he burns. Trust him to be moping around in the forest while it is burning.

==> You should contact someone and figure out what on Alternia is going on.

That's a really good idea, command console! Gee, thanks for always being so polite. It's a great thing that you're so sympathetic all the time. Really.

Let's see, who's the smartest of your friends that are currently online? That would be Kyanas! Let's ask her what's going on, she knows stuff usually.

Drat, you gave away the secret!! Now everyone will know! Although, quite frankly, you can't see why that's a bad thing. It sure was fun knowing a secret, though! Oh well. Now everyone can be friends, so that's good too. Hooray for friendship indeed!

You really need to go find Kratus, though. Problem is, you don't know where to find him! Oh nooooo! What should you do?

[Shipfish]

==> Think about the place you would if you wanted to be alone. Then go there, Kratus is probably moping in the same place.

Want to be.... alone? You don't think you understand the command. Please try again.

OH HEY KRATUS IS ON NOW. Took him long enough! That guy just sleeps the night away! Such a sillyface.

herobound.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pester&action=display&thread=44&page=1

Man, that guy! So crazy. But yeah, you should probably investigate that crash.

You leave the entrance tunnel and enter the main hallway. The crash sounded like it came from somewhere near the new tunnels. Your lusus has been working there for a couple days now. She seems to think that she's found some new sort of ore. Maybe the crash was her breaking through a cave wall! Maybe she found some cool new cavern, so you can have an even bigger hive!! You might even give it to Kratus if it has outside access. You think he would like that.

You go down the main tunnel to the new area. Freshly dug dirt is heaped in piles around the entrance. You grab a helmet from the stand nearby. Safety first! You switch on your tunnel light and go in.

Sometimes you wish that your lusus didn't have such good night vision. It's really dark, and your light only illuminates about three feet in front of your face. You have to remember to ask for a better lantern for 12th Perigee's Eve. Up ahead the tunnel curves, and you peek around slowly to make sure that there aren't any marauding tunnel-beasts around. They break into you and your lusus' tunnels sometimes, so you always have to be careful. The coast looks clear today, though.

You continue on down the tunnel, calling for your lusus softly as you go. She has great hearing, so you don't need to be too loud. If you yelled, you might cause a cave-in and oh speak of the devil.

There's a big pile of rocks in front of you. Normally this would be no problem due to your prodigious strength, but as you walk forward you step in a puddle of something. Eww. What IS that?

[Radiodragon]

==> Listen to the command console, DO NOT INVESTIGATE THAT PUDDLE!

[philosophersBones]

==> Listen to the command console, DO NOT INVESTIGATE THAT PUDDLE!

What? Okay! Since you're so insistent and all. No problem, command console!

You do decide to investigate the cave-in, though. Stepping around the mysterious puddle, you start flinging boulders behind you to clear the obstruction. Anyone watching would surely be amazed by your ridiculous strength, but you are just being normal. As you tunnel, your tunnel light illuminates a flash of white. Mom? Is that you?

You start digging faster. Some of the rocks are sharp, and they slice up your hands a little. You uncover more of an arm. It ends in sharp claws, perfect for digging. You start flinging rocks away even faster. Some of them bounce back off the ceiling and hit you in the shoulder. You stop for a moment and pat your hands off on your overalls, smearing orange on them. Dang. It'll come off in the wash, though. You dig out more and more of the collapsed tunnel. Finally you uncover a white head. It has a star-shaped snout, long whiskers, and small eyes. It's also covered in blood.

[Radiodragon]

==> Well, three down, two to go. Drag that bloody sucker back to the main cave and troll Lerena.

Wow command console, that was kind of a mean thing to say. Jegus, your lusus just died. You'd think that the command console could observe some decorum or something. You guess you'll listen to it, though. You completely excavate the body of your dead lusus and carry it back through the tunnel, placing it in one of the many storage caves. You'll take it up to the surface to be eaten by wild animals later, you guess. You should probably play this game first, though.

You go back into your respiteblock and step into the ablution chamber. You're absolutely covered in dust and blood, both your lusus' and your own. You scrub as best you can, tears being washed away by the stream of water. You know you shouldn't be sad. You need to be strong, because this game is pretty important to your friends. If they see you sad, then they'll be sad, and you really don't want that.

You step out of the ablution chamber and change into some clean clothes. Normally your lusus bothers you about leaving dirty piles of clothes everywhere, but you guess it doesn't matter anymore. You sit down at your table and open your husktop. You really don't feel like talking to anyone for once in your life, but you know that it would be better to tell someone about your lusus. Probably.

[Shipfish]

==> Pester one of your friends about the tragedy that has happened here today.
OR
==> Pester Lerena and ask when you will get into the game.
OR
==> Get pestered by Isaard telling you that you are the next in the chain.

[philosophersBones]

==> Get pestered by Isaard telling you that you are the next in the chain.

Will do.

herobound.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=pester&thread=57&page=1

Wow. That certainly was a lot to take in at once. Most importantly, though, you will get your lusus back soon! You consider the things that you have seen. First, you got to see Isaard in person! Sort of. That was a cool thing. Then you got to see his hive, and how awesome it is, except for that one thing but we're going to forget about that. Then he tossed his lusus in a swirly blue thing and it came back to life. Then he did some stuff that you're going to have to remember. Then he stabbed a lady and ended up in this weird place, and now you need to go talk to Kratus! Dang guy needs to get online first, though. He's so silly sometimes.

[Quakerlol]

==> Kratus is online! GO GO GO!!!
