Just another Sburb-venture!

> Grace: Go and get Sburb. End of the world and all, this is freaking important.

> Then, be Katie, a few hours in the past. That's where everything's hapening.

Okay, you set off to collect your POCKET MONEY from your SIS. That monthly windfall should be just about sufficient to buy the game.



Shit, it's locked. Your SIS must have decided by some unfathomable reasoning that you deserve grounding again. And not grounding in the traditional sense, the sense where you are literally locked in your room until you get allowed out.

In the meantime you attempt to be Katie a few hours in the past, because that sounds like a better place and time to be. It fails though, weird. It's almost as if the viewfinder of the story is fixed to documenting your experiences in particular. Altogether a highly courageous and experimental way to film something, you note.

I'm currently preparing for Grace's breakout by mapping the house. Will update this time tomorrow.

Okidoke!

[npc revolution]

> Grace: YOU BREAK DOWN THAT DOOR THIS INSTANT.

That's it, you've had enough of your SISTER'S unmitigated bullshit, and you take a vicious run-up to the door.






Jeoffrey is helpless to assuage you this time. He is fucking terrified!





You break through and climb out of your broken door. You suppose you can say goodbye to that POCKET MONEY. You'll have to find another way to buy that game.

[psychapprentice]

> Steal it.

[npc revolution]

Looking for another, more specific, suggestion.

[BenBen]

Blackmail your sis into getting the game for you.

[Ziddia]

> Grace: Sell all your sister's stuff, then use that money to buy Sburb. And never tell her ever.

[npc revolution]

All very good and perfectly serviceable ideas, when dealing with an ordinary person, that is.



Just looking around, you get a glimpse of your SIS's influence. She is politically savvy, and knows all the secrets of government. Little tricks, like subliminal messages, propaganda, mind games, that get in your head and change your mind for you. Even now you can hear her commands drifting through the air from her hidden speakers.

A high pitched voice says "Stay in your room." This is but the first level of the controlling frequencies, you have learned how to hear it consciously, but the rest are still imperceptible to you. She knows this, to assume she doesn't is to insult her intelligence. These days "Stay in your room" isn't a command.

It's a dare.

[psychapprentice]

WHAT IS A DARE ANYWAY, IT'S NOTHING.
SOMEONE SAYS DO SOMETHING AND THEN, OH LAUGH LAUGH, YOU LOSE IF YOU DON'T DO IT.

> Ignore the dare.

> Flee house.

[Ziddia]

> Grace: Descend

...the stairs.

[GiovanH]

>Wear earmuffs

[npc revolution]

> Grace: Descend

...the stairs.

You do that.



Here you are, downstairs in the LIVING ROOM. You only how you can avoid your SIST-



Oh, she's not here. Good.

[psychapprentice]

> Warning. You are being monitored.

> Sidle along the wall to avoid detection by camera.

[npc revolution]

> Warning. You are being monitored.

> Sidle along the wall to avoid detection by camera.

Now, call you crazy, but you don't think this camera actually works. You think it's a bluff, to make you change your behaviour just from the thought of being watched. Just like a lot of the speed cameras in the UK, allegedly.



The HITLERCAM definitely works though, as well as the many other cameras in the room. (Of which there are probably hundreds)

Is it weird that you feel safer with your SIS constantly keeping an eye on you? You don't think so, she's just a bit overbearing.

[Ziddia]

> Grace: Confront Sis. You know you want to.

[sonic3535]

> Explore the house some more. Look for cash. Avoid the sister.

[reflectiveRhino]

> Use magic to make yourself invisiable

[npc revolution]

> Explore the house some more. Look for cash. Avoid the sister.

You don't want to confront the SISTER. You want to avoid the SISTER.
There is no mind control...


Okay, you went a bit WEIRD there, and your train of thought has been lost. Anyway, you get to searching.




Hey, what's that down there?



Sweet! It's a blank strife card!

[Ziddia]

> Assign something really weird for the laughs.
