    Re: MMORPGStuck Logs

    Cast:


    Jason: Converse with--- Wait a second. No. Cameron: Observe where you are.

    Sweet catch, dipshit. The light fades for CAMERON, and you (that is, CAMERON) find yourself on a VAST PLAIN. You weren't in KANSAS before, but you might be there now. It's hard to tell. A STRONG GUST blows past you, the only indication of motion in a world divided between the GREEN of the plain and the DARKNESS of the sky above you. And yet despite its ferocity, I feel like

    This is a Land of Gale and Solace.

    Cameron: Get pestered.

    UT starts pestering you.



    Cameron: Investigate.

    Upon closer inspection, there is a LAKE in the distance.



    UT: Zoom out for a better look.

    Not much to see. Just endless prairies.



    Cameron: Enter.

    Didn't you already do that? Oh! You mean the house! Yeah! You head on back inside, and immediately hear something MOVING.



    Cameron: Find your staff.

    It's in the CLOSET, like JEREMY probably is. You also are now quite certain that the TERRIFYING NOISES are coming from your room.



    Cameron: Enter.

    Didn't you already do that? Oh! You mean the room! Yeah! You enter your room and find HORRIFYING MONSTERS. Or Imps. Or something.

    They're... you know what? Look at the damn picture. It's RIGHT THERE. Anyway. They approach.

    Cameron: Kick some ass.

    You jab at the closest IMP with your staff, and it explodes into BLUE PRISMS. The other two Imps look ready to flee, but UT does something useful by picking up the BED to move it into the way. One Imp trips the other one to save itself, but runs under the BED and is crushed horribly. The third one falls to your staff. So simple. How could your first battle in this place not be simple?

    Cameron: Level up!

    For your valor, you ascend to the next rung of your ECHELADDER, the unenviable ACONILE spot. This is almost negligible, really.



    Cameron and UT: High-five.

    You do so. It's awesome. You say you're awesome. God you two are getting full of yourselves. Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before being tossed halfway ac-- before a fall. Bitches.

    Story: Introduce a new character if you don't like these ones.

    You are suddenly pestered by one of your FRIENDS, flightySeraph.



    Cameron: Hear more noises.

    You do so, specifically some BANGING on the door. Apparently SBURB would be more accurately titled "Silent Prairie."



    Imps: Pour into the HALLWAY like so many GRAINS OF SAND.

    Dear god why would you request so many Imps? You monster. So many. So many. You can't COUNT them all. Naturally your reaction is to SCURRY about grabbing all the stuff on the ground, like a fool. UT has a brain (like all SERVER players) and attempts to put a BED down, but of course, they just swarm over it. And under it. They're small.

    Hell, when he throws BOOKS at them, they die but just keep coming.

    Cameron: Abscond!

    You jump out the WINDOW to safety. UT plugs the hole behind you. You're now OUTSIDESTUCK.



    UT: Block the wall.

    You do so. It costs a bit of GRIST, but it's totally worth it bec- Because there are suddenly no Imps in that room anyway. You should have checked. Dammit.

    You decide to tell Cameron before he makes an idiot of himself. He's already been all SOLID SNAKE in his own house while you weren't paying attention. Just pathetic.



    UT: Do as instructed.

    You put in a NEW DOOR and check your GRIST CACHE. There's stuff and things in there.



    Cameron: Keep getting pestered.

    Goddamn it is like PESTERCHUM CENTRAL in here.



    Cameron: Head back to your room.

    Yeah it's not like you're up to anything, so you might as well. Naturally, you start hallucinating and become convinced you're seeing your dead dog. It's the only way.

    I guess it became irrelevant since right now we're reviewing our priorities with regards to art. Basically, it was taking too long to acquire it and slowed everything down tremendously so we're changing our approach to it. Until we have everything 100% figured out and on lockdown, no more art, so no need for sprites.

    Well we already have the sprites, so I don't see how it'd be much more work.

    I actually agree with Moldova; it would make some things a bit easier, but if it's too complicated, then by all means don't.

    Cast:


    DOGGY!

    Yeah and suddenly you're WILL again, feeling a bit NIPPY. You're watching your SPRITE float away. Unlike the other two, it won't be appearing at the end of this story and dropping a ONE-LINER. That would be entirely too silly.

    Will: Follow it.

    You and it head out of the house. Your neighborhood has been REPLACED. Where once stood a suburb now sits... you don't even know. A vast, frozen SEA. There is no land here, not even under your HOUSE. Nothing but ICEBERGS remain, some carved out into buildings, but all of them well out of your reach in the freezing water. They orbit around your house QUIETLY, drifting in the flow.

    This is a Land of Glaciers and Current.

    Luckily, despite the appearance of a frozen wasteland, you are only moderately CHILLY.

    ========>

    The KERNELSPRITE splits into three pieces. One ascends to the sky, the other descends into the earth. The THIRD remains with you. Naturally, this is the time for SCIENCE!

    Will: Expose Kernelsprite to stimuli.

    You return inside and look around for something to torture your SPRITE with. Oh! Your laptop! You push the LAPTOP closer and closer to your Kernelsprite. It does nothing. Finally, right before you push it into the damn thing, it flies away.

    Interesting.

    Will: Keep trying!

    You decide to use something FRIENDLIER. Concentrating carefully, you produce a PICTURE of your dear, departed mentor, Professor Eissu Itoanl. Then you throw it right at the Kernelsprite.

    The SLIMEY THING transforms.

    ========>

    It now resembles your OLD PROFESSOR, though not quite the same. His arms, for example, are now SLIMY, dripping TENTACLES. Quite disgusting.

    And switch to Jeremy in three, two...

    INTERRUPTION TIME. Haha. Made your countdown wrong.

    ...Fuck. This means we're back on Jeremy.



    Jeremy: Go outside and see a Land of Sunshine and Happiness!

    As if. You proceed to your window and look down. Your house is at the top of the tallest tower of an IMMENSE RED BUILDING, as far as the eye can see. This is not just any building either. It has TOWERS, TURRETS, CRENELATIONS, the usual. And yet, not a sound can be heard.

    This is a Land of Castles and Quiet.



    Jeremy: Talk as loudly as possible. Make the narrator cry.

    You whisper softly because fuck you instruction guy. You're not RELEVANT, remember?



    Jeremy: Propose the obvious solution.

    You mean... be his server? That's RETARDED. You're RETARDED. And the good news is, Jeremy is retarded too.



    Jeremy: Pester your friend.

    It is time for the story to introduce one of the last PLAYERS to play this game, hyperSingularity. There's only two more after this one. One will be introduced in four logs, the other in six.



    Jeremy: See what's up with your kernelsprite.

    You find it in the next room.



    ========>

    It floats about, AGITATED.



    Jeremy: Toss in a knight statue.

    Goodbye, SIR FLAILALOT. He was the bravest of your COMPANIONS! You toss him right in.

    The sprite transforms. With the exception of his VAST WINGS and a BEAK, he no longer resembles a BIRD. Instead, he has the ARMOR and HELMET of a brave knight, who you now have a ridiculous an incredibly homosexual crush on. Because apparently that's how you ROLL. Er, SWING. Something.

    Legendary: Weave four sprite logs together, taking gratuitous liberties to present a composed confusing whole that covers the bases, even if they weren't covered in the RP proper.

    You got it boss!



    And then they inform the four of you that together, you will Ascend.

    And then we're never interlacing RP sessions like this again.

    Re: MMORPGStuck Logs

    Cast:


    Jason: Make plans.

    You PESTER your server player.



    Jason: Be interrupted.

    Oh snap. Gentlesprite be talking.



    Jason: Attack whatever is in the bathroom.

    You have no idea what the fuck this RASCAL is, but that's no reason not to kill it horribly. You deploy the ESWAS and throw the bathroom door open. A TERRIFYING IMP regards you. It looks... well, DRUNK. It staggers towards you. You strike. It drunkenly falls aside.

    This is so pathetic you don't even know. You exchange blows, as is traditional. He misses, you knock him back. There's not much to make this dramatic (except possibly choosing to pace this in a more interesting fashion, but fuck that), so I'll skip ahead to the MURDERSTRIKE. No, you don't get context. It will forever be a mystery. Suckers.

    Naturally, the MURDERSTRIKE kills the Imp, and it explodes into Grist.



    Jason: Collect Grist.

    You get back up (the MURDERSTRIKE knocked you over), and get some GRIST. It disappears as soon as you touch, vanishing in a poof of "+4!". Yeah. This is definitely a video game you're living in now. How queer.

    Jason: Level up.

    You scale the first rung on your ECHELADDER to become a... DRUNKEN SWORDSWINGER? Really? No witty title? No puns or portmanteaus or anything? Just... DRUNKEN SWORDSWINGER?

    You feel gypped and we haven't even seen most of the ECHELADDERS yet.



    Jason: Get a suggestion.

    You just like talking to GENTLESPRITE, don't you? It's okay. He's actually the SECOND BEST SPRITE. Right between PROFESSORSPRITE and HOLLYSPRITE.

    Suck it, Jeremy.



    DO NOT DISRESPECT YOUR ELDERS BOY

    What the-

    Especially when they be th' wiser

    You feel under attack. You draw your sword while SS expands your house and deploys the PUNCH DESIGNIX.

    Thats no way t' do it!

    ...I miss making up the commands myself already. Anyway. You ask for help because you don't think you know what you're doing.



    Oh for goodness sakes lad, the cards! That is a ridiculous amount of cards lad

    Oh of course! It's a good thing you have so many UNUSABLE CARDS. One of the downsides of the REVOLVER MODUS is that it can't hold more than six bullets ohyouknowwhatImean. You rotate out your CIGS+LIGHTER CARD and slam it into the PUNCH DESIGNIX. Then you press all the buttons. You just end up wrecking the card. Good job.

    You need more than that lad! Put in th' sword boy!

    You toss your ruined card aside.



    Jason: Throw something at your sprite in frustration.

    Taking a page out of WILL's book, even though you don't know the guy and from his perspective he only just now got around to doing that and is getting the SPRITELOG CHAT that you've already experienced (This timeline shit sure is complicated!), you throw an ANIME FANCHARACTER MASK at your SPRITE. You proceed to investigate the INSTRUCTION PANEL that no one pays attention to and ignore everything except your chat box.



    Horrible shit: Hapen

    It does. The sprite is no longer a HARMLESS WHISKEY-INDUCED WHATEVER. Its FACE has become SKELETAL, with many teeth and sharp ridges along itself. You tremble in terror.

    Its voice is also more horrifying, though that's harder to explain.



    Why would you be so careless as to do that?

    You edge away from this latest abomination and approach the DESIGNIX. You stick your COMBAT KNIFE in the machine, and pop another card in too: the one with your ESWAR in it. You then hit all the buttons on the PUNCH DESIGNIX.

    Stop hitting all the buttons lad!

    No one approves of what you're doing. The voices in your head say something like "Shape up! Get some self control!" Not that you know they're there. Because you don't.



    Jason: Get some useful advice.

    Okay.



    ...*sigh* Jason: Get some RELEVANT advice.

    You pull the cards out of the DESIGNIX and realize they're full of holes. This is awful. You suck at this game.



    If you were more careful you could have taken the items out after you scanned them.

    "ARE YOU NOT PAYING ATTENTION LAD?" is the next question. You flinch, then look around the room for a moment and decide to investigate the LATHE again. You shuffle past the MASKSPRITE uncomfortably and drop a card into the TOTEM LATHE. You then get a CRUXITE DOWEL, run the LATHE, and use the TOTEM on the ALCHEMITER. Before you use it, you talk to your ABOMINATIONSPRITE again.



    While the device operates, pester people.

    Only SS is really online, so we'll stick with him for now.



    Observe results of alchemy.

    You've created the SMOKER STOKER. It is a flaming sword with the power of nicotine!

    The voice in your head congratulations you, as does SS. Masksprite revels in pyromania. We're skimming this.

    Or maybe not.



    Turn around!

    A giant fist punches a hole in the wall and IMPS swarm in and begin to charge you.



    Ponder the sheer ridiculousness of stopping to respond

    ...Yeah. That was kind of dumb, especially since it gave the Imps the chance to surround you. You swing at them wildly, but mostly nearly break your TOTEM LATHE. The Imps you make contact with just get knocked backward.

    SS pesters you, but you're not having talky talk time right now. You just EJECT the card holding your phone at an Imp, knocking it backwards.

    Imp: Steal phone.

    A random Imp picks up the phone and presses all the buttons!



    Jason: GET THAT PHONE BACK.

    You lunge forward, and SS throws furniture around, but to no avail. The IMP ecapes through a hole in the wall. You manage to get to the HOLE, but find that since it's an EXTERIOR WALL, the Imp is just climbing upward. You aren't sure if you can follow it.

    SS: DO SOMETHING.

    Uh... Uh... Uh... You grab a gun and start beating the Imp with it. Your efforts are not enough though, and Jason joins you by swinging his SMOKER STOKER through the ceiling until the IMP finally expires.

    You retrieve the PHONE for Jason and you two begin talking again.



    Jason: Remember giant fist.

    Sometimes re-exposure can cement memories. Have another GIANT FIST. No, two. Because an OGRE is crawling in through the hole he made.

    You jump up quickly and prepare to fight (and possibly die, since who knows what's going on here). Your SERVER PLAYER continues to be less than helpful.



    Jason: Attract the Ogre's attention.

    Your effort is a RESOUNDING SUCCESS, and only quick work on SS's part saves you from a flung bed. He completes his turn around by hitting the OGRE with the bed. How strangely helpful. Admittedly, the OGRE wrecks the bed, but EFFORT counts.

    You can't get so high up, so you just THWACK the Ogre in the chest several more times until you get knocked back with a lamp.



    Masksprite: Be useful in a horrifying fashion.

    You retrieve some ALCOHOL and throw it at the OGRE. Jason uses basic chemistry to STRIKE the OGRE, which means that his flaming sword is basically the best weapon imaginable. The OGRE burns to death in a gruesome manner. Really it seems almost unnecessary. Luckily, the GRIST isn't harmed.

    Jason: Level up again.

    Naturally, you jump up a couple rungs and land safety on the ASSISTANT IMMOLATER rung.



    Jason: Examine the machine.

    There are INSTRUCTIONS on the side. They are SIMPLE PICTORAL IMAGES suggesting that you scan a code and PUNCH a card. It doesn't suggest punching SCANNED CARDS though. That would be retarded on so many levels.

    Jason: Alchemize.

    You run through a bunch of STEPS that basically amount to nothing of importance, and will be summarized later AND earlier.

    The only question left is what you alchemized.

    Jason: Combine shitty combat knife with smoker stoker.

    You obtain the CUBAN CUTTER, good for a SMOKE and a SLICE. It's kind of small though. In comparison.

    Jason: Combine shitty combat knife and kevlar.

    You obtain the RANBO RAIMENT, macho armor for stalking the URBAN JUNGLE.

    Jason: Combine firecrackers and buckshot rounds.

    Good lord. The LEGENDARY ROCKET ROUNDS. You can't shoot them without a GUN!

    Jason: Not good enough. Alcohol && firecrackers, stat!

    You retrieve the ROCKET SHOTS, in lovely crystal glasses.

    Jason: Test them out.

    You shoot one out the window at a STEEL IMP. It makes contact, but since its UNLIT ALCOHOL, is about as harmless as alcohol is when applied to the skin. That is to say, it is the OPPOSITE of harmless and your IMP is now prepped for SURGERY. It too weeps for the

    Jason: Light one, then fire.

    The IMP bursts into more tears. Of PAIN. Yeah.

    Jason: Continue to WEAPONIZE the SYLLADEX.

    You fire BUCKSHOT ROUNDS haphazardly until your apartment starts SHUDDERING. You wonder what that's about.

    A staircase appears.

    Jason: Before you go, combine your PHONE and your WRISTWATCH.

    You obtain the WRISTPHONE, which will be a great way to talk without a COMPUTER. If you need to.

    Some HOLES are burst through in your walls, and OGRES appear.

    Jason: Run upstairs!

    They go up a ridiculous distance. You leave them SO FAR BEHIND you feel the sudden urge to talk to people.



    FW: Have a blog about books involving being stuck in video games.

    You can't control her yet. But even if you could, I don't think she would. What would be the point of that endeavour?

    ========>

    While you waste time bossing people who won't listen to you around, JASON ollies out through his first gate in an incredibly anticlimactic manner.

    The world goes white.
