SVENTURE Act 2: Where it goes to hell in reverse

[Killer-Squirtle]

Hey Homestucks, this is my first fan adventure. IF ANYONE CAN THINK OF A BETTER TITLE, LET ME KNOW! Maybe gifs and/or animations down the line if I can get any help with that, but for now you guys just get still images.

This adventure is heavily inspired by PaperHelmet's Homestesque [Awesome, go read it]


Game ==> Start



Another twilight reaches the earth, another long weekend practically over and with it one of the largest video game conventions in the country. The hordes of geeks and nerds alike have just witnessed the closing ceremony and have flocked back to their hotels in the early evening sun.

For the con may be over, the party is just begining, for during that closing event all the con-goers were sent home with a bootleg of Skaianet's newest creation: SVENTURE! The game isn't even up for pre-order yet, and they just handed over 2000 copies out like they were freakin' CANDY. Can anyone else say all night LAN party?

A young girl stands in such a hotel room. What will this girl's name be?

Your name is Erin. You have a variety of interests, mostly revolving around the counter culture called GEEK-DOM.

You love VIDEO GAMES, particularly FANTASY and RPGs. Especially POKEMON. Oh Arceus, do you love Pocket Monsters. Of course, if you weren't interesting in video games, you wouldn't have come to the CONVENTION with several of your FRIENDS and your BROTHER. You have a fascination with the METAPHYSICAL leading to your indepth love of fantasy and PHILOSOPHY. You're a capable ARTIST and always keep your SKETCHBOOK neatly tucked away in your SKETCHBOOK modus sylladex. You find such redundancy as AMUSING, among other things. You also have a tendency to enjoy entertainment more targetted towards males like VIOLENT MOVIES and COMIC BOOKS. Most people deem you as a BLUH BLUH HUGE TOMBOY because of this. You are easily EXCITABLE and are perhaps a little MENTALLY UNSTABLE. But it's all good, it's really FUN. Complimentary with your name, you have a SEVERE CANDY ADDICTION, ironically more addicted to SOUR candies than sweet ones.

Your Pesterchum handle is chaoticMaverick [CM] and you speak kinda the way you talk

What will you do?

==>Explain why you're in such a ridiculous get up!



The convention was having a costume contest for best original character design. The con's site stated that the best costumes got the SVENTURE bootleg, but in reality they just gave it to everyone with an original costume.

Even so, you're extremely happy with your awesome mage outfit. The skull sash is just too awesome to you.

Is that a microwave, or a computer?

==> Is that a microwave, or a computer?


A microwave, obviously. How this loyal appliance has served you over the past few days. Which reminds you, where are your friends with the food? You're getting hungry.

Of course you have a computer of your own-pfft, who at this convention doesnt?-a sporty laptop. And you have a stash of assorted snacks in the room as well, but you'd prefer to save your stash for later on the in the night when your eyeballs are bleeding from playing video games. Besides, your friends are bringing CHINESE FOOD; so worth the wait.

[Wacom Guy]

What kind of chinese food? Also, check the time; when are they supposed to be here?

[captainNarwhal]

>Build a fort right in front of the door. Allow no one entrance unless they can guess the super-secret password.

[Killer-Squirtle]

What kind of chinese food? Also, check the time; when are they supposed to be here?


The best kind of chinese food available:
Made in greasy spoon chinese resturaunts, run by people who you know are actually from San Fransisco. The recipes aren't even Chinese in origin, and everything is deep fried. You are hungry after an hour, but there's food left over from your first course. The MSG flows into your mouth with the utmost grace.

IT IS DELICIOUSNESS INCARNATE

You... Just made yourself even more hungry. When are they gonna get here? It's already 7:30!

[captainNarwhal]

>Wonder why there's a picture of a toaster oven/coffee maker combo on your TV.

[llamamiah]

>Erin: Eventually become SVENTURE's equivalent to Dragon Shaman.

For nowtimes:

>Erin: Examine Strife Specibus.

[aPawnAscending]

>Erin: Pester your friends to get over here.

[Killer-Squirtle]

>Wonder why there's a picture of a toaster oven/coffee maker combo on your TV.

That is the current object of your affection. It is just so awesome, that it is practically blinding you with the light of amazement. You want it so badly, and the commercial for it perhaps even surpasses it in its WIN-factor. Oh yes, you want that thing.

>Erin: Examine Strife Specibus.

About that... You never actually allocated your specibus to anything in particular, and you have no plans on allocating it at all. You and your brother never has the wicked strife that a typical family had. All conflicts were settled with PVP matches in any given game until you forgot what you were made at each other for.

>Build a fort in front of the door
Where do you think the coffee table and the armchair went?

[captainNarwhal]

>Man stations in fort and toss things at whoever tries to enter. Or idly walks by. Either/or.

[OrangeAipom]

> No strife? Not even against teachers?

[aPawnAscending]

>Equip the TV remote into your strife specibus. Just for reasons.

[Wacom Guy]

Call them on your CELL PHONE.

[Killer-Squirtle]

>Erin: Pester Friend

==>Go onto balcony

"Our dreams fuel our reality, our aspiration are our driving force, our spirit urge us to go on and make our fantasies into our world. In our minds, we are heroes. We shall not let the confines of reality stiffle our spirits. We have the courage to listen and act upon our greatest dreams.

"Onward ye heroes of make believe and magic. The future is ours to inherit, and all the world is ours to shape."

-Yea, you just came up with that out of your head. Man, you can see so many people in costumes from up here. Looks like pretty much the entire hotel is populated by con-goers. You pity any person with the audacity to call themselves 'normal' who got caught up in the sea of modded nerfguns and ducttape weaponry.

[llamamiah]

>Allocate the TV Remote, just in case.

>Wait for your friends to arrive before booting up the game. Because reasons.

[Killer-Squirtle]

>Allocate TV remote to Strife Specibus

For whatever reason, you decide that a TV remote is a good weapon and decide to allocate it to your strife specibus. Perhaps the idea amuses you slightly. Either that, or the voices in your head are playing a strange joke on you. In attempting to allocate the remote, the device bounds off of the card and goes flying across the room.

It would appear that all Hotel remotes and other utilities have a special mechanism that prevents them from being captchalogued and/or allocated. Man, they must really not want you to steal their stuff.
