(DAY 1) ==> Zach: Enter. (Open for pesters)

[precisemarksman]

Your name is ZACH SNYDER, and you are almost ready to begin installing the game.

There's been a lot of HYPE about this game. You daresay that it's time to see if it LIVES UP to it all. A part of you hopes it is true, and another part of you hopes OTHERWISE.

Either way, you figure this is a good time to contact your SERVER PLAYER and make sure she is ready to start running the game. May as well contact your friends and let them know you're about to go in, as well.

-- preciseMarksman [PM] has begun pestering pumpkinBoards [PB] --

Hey, Claire.
You got the server disc? My client disc's runnin' and waitin' for a connection.


A half hour into the future, and you are staring death in the face as a meteor comes rocketing down towards your house. You quickly shut your laptop, causing Pesterchum to log you off. Your new HORSESPRITE watches with you as your ALCHEMITER dispenses a very odd item; a blue crystal duck. Suddenly you find yourself aiming for it from afar. A perfectly lined up shot later, and you feel yourself being rocketed forward as the meteor strikes.

...



You wake up to find yourself in a strange place. It certainly looks like Texas, but it definitely isn't. The winds weren't this strong, and your farm animals and crops were still there, and it was much hotter than this.

You decide to go back inside and sit down, opening your laptop. Pesterchum logs you back in.

-- preciseMarksman [PM] has signed on. --

((OOC: Here's how it goes. Zach can be pestered before, during, and after his entry into the medium. Please tag which of the three times it is while conversations are going on. Multiple threads for different times (one Before, one After, for instance) are allowed. Pesterchum logged him off for a good 15 minutes while he was being transported to the medium, which may or may not be a sign that something happened.

Oh, this is also the beginning of the game. HAVE FUN! Everyone is free to post their own entries now, provided they are members of the community.

EDIT: If the tag is coming During the entry and it's one of the kids, or Kanabo or Beatix or Andora, then Zach has informed them that he is playing the game.))

after entry

[aviancaballero]

You're pretty damned worried about all of this going on and feel more restless than usual. Hearing reports of meteors out of no where as you all get ready to start the game really doesn't help, especially as you see your bro go offline for a while. When he pops back up, you're immediately getting in touch with him even as you're setting up your server to Claire's client.

hey
wanna give me an update on wtf is going on?
the hell did we get ourselves into?

Re: after entry

[precisemarksman]

I really don't know.
All I know is when Claire started puttin' the game constructs in my house, some timer started tickin' down and I saw meteors comin' towards my house.
I'm definitely not in Texas anymore, either.

Before Entry

[bubblegumqueen]

Well?? Have you gotten it $tarted yet?
Like, don't leave me dying of $u$pen$e.
And don't forget to $creen$hot $omething cool for me if you can.

Re: Before Entry

[precisemarksman]

It's loadin'.
Sure is takin' its sweet time, too.
Don't worry, I'll get ya the screenshots.
Since I'm th' client and Claire's my server for this.

[bubblegumqueen]

It better be worth all thi$ waiting we've done. :|
Totes$ gonna complain $oooooo much if it i$n't.
Or i$ it ju$t your $low yokel texan connection? :P

[precisemarksman]

Let's hope it is.
My connection is just fine. :P
...
Ah, there it goes. Now I gotta wait on Claire. ... It isn't showin' anythin' to me yet though. Just a simple black screen with some text.

[bubblegumqueen]

Boooo, boring.
Tote$ retro $ounding though.
If 8-bit mu$ic play$ that'd be $o fun.

Now during entry

[precisemarksman]

Sounds more reminiscent of the old DOS days, really.
Oh, she's connected. Hold on a sec.

About four minutes later...

I don't know how this is possible, but somehow Claire's able to move things 'round in my house. She's makin' room for somethin'. This shit is unreal.

[bubblegumqueen]

After 4 minutes of patient waiting, you need to take a few moments to try and read this right. Surely that's a joke... right?

Zach, are you $moking $omething?
Or pulling my leg?
WTF man?
I mean, alien$ okay tho$e are thing$ but that'$ ridic.
....Right?

[precisemarksman]

I'm being serious here, Rei.
I can't screenshot this, either.
... She just put something down and it's got a timer.
Here, let me get you a picture.

You take a picture of the now open Cruxtruder and send it across Pesterchum to Reigna. There is notably a 4:56 timer on it. If she looks closely she might notice a part of an odd sphere of light on one end of the photo

It's countin' down...
I'm a bit on edge here.
An' this weird sphere is floatin' around.

[aberrantspanner]

deeeets!!!!!!!!!!11111
how is this stupidly marketed game?

[precisemarksman]

It's uh.
Kind of unreal, actually.
It's hard to explain, but somehow this game is allowing Claire to mess with things in my room.

[aberrantspanner]

............
zach.
zach.
zaaaaaaaaaaaaaach.
buddy.
i thinnkyou need to have a laydown.
cause you'retelling me we waited all this time for a fuckin rl sim game.
and that is unpossible.
not to mention the sims are boring after a while.

[precisemarksman]

You might be happy to know that it's not just an rl sim game.
You might, however, be unhappy to find that this game has somehow brought on random meteor showers in the vicinity.
If you don't believe me, you can check the news in Texas.
And no, I'm not seein' things, and I'm not goin' crazy.

[aberrantspanner]

you already were though.
onesec.
gonna turn on the weather channel just to prove you wrong.

[precisemarksman]

Well? What do you see?
If necessary I can take a picture of the showers too.
But I need t'get this shit done so I can figure out a way t'get outta here 'fore the showers get t'where I am.

[aberrantspanner]

====> Leon try to be helpful

THIS IS STUPID!!!!

[blackwoods]

｢oh, Zach.｣
｢was the game installed safely?｣
｢if your computer is bricked or an exploded mess on your desk, you don't have to respond.｣

[precisemarksman]

I think my computer exploding is the least of my worries now.
For some reason a meteor shower is beginnin' to happen around me.
I'm not kiddin'.
