When you live deep underwater, it's difficult to tell when the sun has set. Lerena was a late riser for this reason. Besides, her lusus was often off doing its own thing, so there was often little incentive to get up early to deal with it, unless it was polluting the area with chocolate milk rain again. Thus Lerena left her recuperacoon and got ready long after her neighbor was already outside and checking the nets. After mentally preparing herself for the coming night as best she could, Lerena got dressed and booted up her husktop. She checked the folder. Yes, the game software was still there. She had hoped for an instant that the whole thing had been a dream, a dream less happy then her sojourns around the golden city. Yet there it was. She sighed, glubbing up a bubble into the water surrounding her.
She closed her husktop and looked out of the window. It was hard, being burdened with all of this knowledge and not being able to tell anyone. It was hard and nobody understood. Oh well. She still has a bit of time left before the game is slated to start. She has prepared as best she could, and now it is up to her and her friends to decide the fate of a universe. What should she do?

==> Attempt to drink a can of Tab even though you are underwater, a la Spongebob. AND ==> Elaborate on this game stuff. You proceed to open a can of Tab, which you have for some reason, and it goes everywhere predictably.This would be illustrated with a poorly drawn spit-take if the artist of this board was not too lazy to draw it. Seriously, you're not even sure why you did that. Or why you have a can of soda underwater. Your lusus probably put it there, he does stuff like that. So ridiculous. As for this game stuff, you could certainly elaborate on that, but there is too much to elaborate on! Besides, your puffy dream oracles have not told you everything. Most of what you know involves meteors, kernelsprites, and game abstractions like the alchemiter, which everyone reading this thread already knows about. It certainly is a good thing that you have been awake on Prospit for some time, otherwise much time would be wasted with the players bumbling around with gaming abstractions. Heaven knows we don't have time for that. The main gist of it is that this game will create a new universe, while simultaneously dooming your own. Oh look, it seems that Aruale is on. You should send her the game. herobound.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=pester&thread=25It sounds like the meteors have already begun. |

==> Gather your materiel! Also make sure you have plenty of battery for your computer! And an Internet connection! Okay, okay! Geez, pushy. You check your husktop, which of course has plenty of battery because it is a living organism and eats phytoplankton for fuel. You have an Internet connection because you long ago set up wi-fi for the whole lake. It seems that you're set. You figure that you should go ahead and load the server program. As for materiel, you are of course set. Your KNIVES are safely stored away in your strife modus, as they will remain until you have need of them. They are highly impractical for underwater combat, since they are often electrically charged, but you give zero cares about this because as far as you are concerned lightning is the coolest thing ever. Other than that you do not need much in the way of combat preparation, because your incredibly deadly knives are almost always all you need and they look incredibly awesome. Like this: thumbs2.modthesims2.com/img/1/7/6/9/0/7/8/MTS2_medrops_802441_larxene02.jpgYeah, you won't have to worry about much as long as you have these babies. You can throw them to stab things, or hold them to stab things, or swing them around to stab things. Your strategy is very varied and absolutely does not completely consist of stabbing things. That would be simply ridiculous. |

==> Run down the list of players in your game.
Very well, you don't see why not. You of course will be playing the game, because you are the only one with the requisite software. Aruale is the player who you know the best, and most of the others are acquaintances of hers. You do not know them very well, but you trust her judgement. Sometimes you wish that it could have been just you and her, like your old FLARPing days on Team Crash, but you know that that would be a terrible idea. This game requires many trolls to play well, because after all you have a variety of roles to fill.
Kyanas Sciuri, a greenblood, will be playing. Aruale wanted to include her because of her proficiency in strategy, even though she has barely dabbled in roleplaying games of the extreme variety. For your limited conversations with her, you think her to be a distrustful yet intelligent person. You regard her as a valuable addition to the team.
Then there's Stebia. You have known her for a while, but you don't really know much about her since whenever you asked her about herself she said that she was 'boring' and turned the conversation to you. She is very nice and cheerful, and her experience with FLARP will most likely be valuable.
Stebia would not have played the game without the addition of her moirail Isaard to the team. He didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about it, but you have not talked to him enough to know whether that was normal for him. According to Stebia he can be 'very grou(--hy!!', but he apparently has some sort of extranormal ability based on the fact that he managed to blow up a computer from a remote location. Aruale is also well-acquainted with him, seeing as she lives the closest to him, but she says that he's gotten more aloof as of late so she doesn't 'know what his deal is anymore'.
Lastly there is a mystery player that you know little to nothing about. Stebia insisted that he be included in the game, and you trust her to know what's best. Besides, perhaps he is destined to join you and aid in your success and the propagation of your race. You believe that you have seen him in the clouds of your dreams, but you are not sure as you know nothing of his appearance. You do not pretend to understand your puffy dream oracles, you simply follow their advice.
Oh, and obviously you are playing. You have no need to describe your many excellent characteristics because there are far too many to list and you already know them all besides.

==> Make a serious attempt to look for your lusus before the world ends. That would certainly be a futile endeavor. You already know that he will be dead before you enter the game. After all, you have seen his sprite in your dreams. You will see him again. You briefly feel sorry for the players not blessed with your certainty, who will all suffer the losses of their lusii before the game begins. ==>Time is running short. Start sending the SGRUB program to the other players. Patience! There is an order to these things, you know. You will have to get Aruale into the game, and then somebody will have to get you in, and so on and so forth until Aruale gets the last player in. Thus you will have to make sure that each player only gets the program in the order that they are supposed to get it. Although, you suppose you could go ahead and send it with instructions not to run it until the time is right. Okay, that sounds good. You should establish a connection chain first, though. You consider your options, and decide that Stebia is too flighty, Isaard is too aloof and distrustful, and the mystery player is too...... mysterious. You suppose that Kyanas is your best bet. She appears to have a good head for logic, and that will be invaluable for your server player. You open up your husktop and wait for her to get online. Oh, looks like Aruale's pestering you. herobound.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=pester&thread=27Excellent. You'll need to deploy some things for her to enter the Medium as quickly as possible. |

==> Deploy items. Yes, that would be good. You don't have time for Aruale to fumble around and figure out what they are. Good thing her hive has several nice open spaces. While she goes outside, you deploy the TOTEM LATHE, CRUXTRUDER, and ALCHEMITER on her porch, all close to one another for maximum efficiency. You also make a PRE-PUNCHED CARD. Wonderful, that's that out of the way. ==> Contact Kyanas. Excellent, she's online. herobound.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=pester&thread=33&page=1And there's that out of the way. You are glad that at least one troll is sane in this group. You also think that you know far too little about both Isaard and this mystery fellow. That could become disastrous later if their loyalties begin to sway. You make a mental note to find out as much about them as possible and ensure that they will be an asset to you the team. Aruale's right, you are a bit of a manipulative bitch sometimes. Oh well. You wait for Aruale to get online. She will be distraught, of course. You will have to do your best to ensure that she knows she'll see her lusus again. Everyone will. |
