It has been a month since I turned 18, and since I did my visions have only been getting worse. I keep feeling an inescapable sense of guilt and dread that is not letting me sleep. I am filled with a sense of haste for this new "game" my internet friend Hermann was gonna show me, hopefully it will take me off from this constant sense of despair, of ebing stuck inside my thoughts.
But first, I must take care of an even greater challenge. Having the patience to wait for the stutid machine to frggin' stop updating and let me use pestechum!
"Godamnit this thing has been updating for H O U R S."
I have been mostly succesful on this task, if only because I have been tidying my room to prepare for this "ULTIMATE REAL LIFE VIDEOGAME EXPERIENCE",a nd ensure I don't fall on some misplaced dice or something. That'd be incredibly unlucky shit, and you are ALL about avoiding unlucky shit. In fact, you consider yourself an expert at KNOWING when you are tempting fate, and solve it preemptively. That is, until your mother leaves some of her SCULPTURES on the house in a fit of artistic motivation. Ugh. I guess I will try to turn it off and on again.
...
While this goes on you ensure your METAL STAFF, which is actually not at all the vaccuum cleaner bar, and that you haven't taken from your mother for a multiplayer videogame with your internet friends, That'd be a terrible thing to do. You know this. But it was so perfect for the ocassion you couldn't resist.
...
C'mon, how much time can this take? Ah, there you go. Finally; Abraxas is such a SLOOOOOOOW browser, but it looks so pretty you can't bring yourself to use any other. Brand loyalty is a powerful thing. Alright, let's pester hermann, you want to start with this.

SB: Hey sleepyhead, time to wake up! It's an important day today! Are you ready for the game!? Please say yes, I do not want my mom to come back before we start.

> Be asleep
You find yoruself asleep, as it is 4 AM in the morning and you aren't a crazy person.
> Have an inexplicable urge to check the new game
Actually, you realize today is not any day, or any night. Tonight is THE NIGHT. The night where you gotta wake up at ridiculous hours so you can play a game in real time with your internet friend who lives in a completely different timezone. If the rotation of the sun wasn't so delightfully SCIENTIFIC, you might actually find it incredibly ANNOYING. Just five more minutes.
> Wake up.
C'mon, just a bit longer...
> Wake up boy.
Fine, you'll stop whatever it is and get up. Sceince should not be kept waiting an- oh for the love of science.
Not this again.
Ugh, another of these ridiculous DREAMS of yours. God you hate this particular dream, mostly because you have it so frequently, and because it's always the same. You get up, look at some cloud by the window, and see some PROPHETIC vision of the past and/or future. Your SCIENTIFIC MIND completely disbelieves these UNBASED images as delusions of your childish psyche, but it seems like the more you DENY them, the more they appear. Still, you're not even going to acknowledge them. Take that, clouds.
> Look anyways.
You inmediately dismiss the idea. You will nto contaminate your mind with AMBIGUOUS images that aren't even true. once in the past you BELIEVED them with passion, and your expectations were crushed time and time again. Truly the only thing that can be trusted is SCIENCE, not magical clouds. Magic is not real, after all.
> Jump on the bed and neigh like a horse
No, even on dreams there's a code of conduct and you follow it almost religiously. Plus, mom HATES horses with force equal only to a comet. Even more, you have never actually heard a real horse, so you got nothing. Maybe this dream was a call out to retake Biology and Zoology! Yes, you've finally solved a mystery you didn't even know that was one. Score one for science.
> Jump from the window
Not possible. The "window" is unopenable, and it is THICK. Whatever is outside, you're not touching it anytime soon.
> Fine, wake up after obvious foreshadowing
You find yourself in a room similar to the last one, but white and less DREAMY. It is nighttime, and therefore the room is DARK. Fortunately, you have your computer in your NIGHTSTAND, with an alarm telling you when your friend Rebecca would give you the signal.

Oh, wow, it DID finish. Quite coincidental, truly, that it would at this precise moment. Or maybe your friend did it on purpose for showmanship reasons. A mystery for the ages. unfortuantely you are only welcomed by a black screen saying "Waiting for server player". Y A W N

I realize that I needed to actually connect to the client player. Fortunately, hermann's computer is much faster than mine, and getting in is just a quesiton of choosing him as a client.
Also, holy macarroni I can see his house under a quirky interface. This is the first time I've seen his house and it looks... very mundane actually, I am kind of dissapointed. Now, let's try to move this cursor around...
Ah, there you go, I'll lift his bed and give him a scare. [...] Oh, wait, seems I can't affec tthings he's directly touching. Phooey. Makes sense that'd break the videogame right? So I'll rummage his stuff to make attention.
Oops. There goes that vial out the window.

> Watch shenanigans You see one fo your vials go out the window. You are very lucky your window was open or else a loud CRASH would have woken up your mother. > Look at room
Oh my, how descriptive.
You see your BED, messily undone, and your OPEN WINDOW to nightime, as it is 4 AM. Don't ask how you got fressed so quickly. You certianly do not sleep with your LAB COAT on. Never. On the sides of the room you can't see there's yoru COMPUTER DESK, your SCIENCE BAG and your SCIENCE STATION, which is basically another desk taht you use for working on your MAD EXPERIMENTS. Right now you are SECRETLY making sulphuric acid and fillign it in secured vials. The acid wil prove to be an invaluable weapon when paired with your MODIFIED water gun, or SCIENCE GUN, as you've called it.
> Assign Science Gun to strife specibus
It is already assigned, but you do it anyways. You love that Ding! sound it makes.
> Make something explode
Not again! Those chemical burn stains have left your room in disrepair and your mother will have your ass if you try anything chaustic again.
> Give directions to server player
Right, you got your NOTES in your computer desk. You and your MYSTERIOUS BENEFACTOR seem to have made notes with whatever the code was for the game. It's mostly gibberish, but the initial processes have been written down to ensure that the chaos is minimal. You think.

AS: Oh, and you should be able to enlarge my room too. Just slide one of the walls to the rigth.

I decide to try his suggestion, after all this game is ALL about building shit as far as I know.
Ah, there you go. Phernalia Registry, huh? Oh, my there's a bunch of stuff here. Ehhh... ok I'll try to put in this square tube thingy...
Oh no this thing is HUGE. I'm gonna have to expand his room, as he said. let me try to extend it to the right, without MANGLING his room. Oh no i just clicked his desk instead. Fuck get that thing off!
Phew. i almost throw some INESCRUTABLE SUBSTANCE in a vial into the floor. That could have been dangeorus, but is defintiely RUDE. And that's no good. Now, let's REALLY extend this thing. There you go, it looks like complete shit, but it'll do, time to plop this thing down like it's on fire. Well, maybe it IS on fire.

SB: Enjoy your bigger room nerd, also go inspect that giant thingie I just plopped on your floor. Hopefully it doesn't turn you on fire.
SB: Also there's a lot of stuff here but I can't put down eveyrthing.
SB: And I can't extend your room anymore, it seems like it used my "Build Grist". Whatever that is. So this is all we get.

> Observe "thingie"
Oh, my, that looks like it worked. Also, hi big machine thingie.
Yikes, when she said "extend" she meant it. Better to get to work and EXAMINE this thing properly.
> Look out the window
You see night sky and your Pacific island scenery. You've seen this a thousand times, but you truly cna never get enough of it. What a waste of time!
> Fine, examine Cruxtruder
Sorry, you don't understand "Cruxtruder"
> Examine big thingie
You examine the CRUXTRUDER. This machine is suppose to expel something out fo that tube,a s far as yoor notes say, but how to get this thing open? It has a valve and a lid.
> Open CRUXTRUDER
How do you plan on doing that? it doesn't seem to have a door.
> Use VALVE
You try to move the VALVE, but your MANGRIT isn't powerful enough. you should hit the Gym sometime!
> Reroll stats while the others aren't looking. CHARISMA is useless anyways.
Nice try, but your PHERNALIA PERSONAE is unaccesible at the moment.
> Cast magic missile
Magic doesn't exist, numbnuts. You'd only manage to look silly.
> Examine LID
It looks like it can be PRESSED on, but you'll need something HEAVY.
> Seek help form other player

I wonder which thing should i plop next. ok, I think this TOTEM LATHE looks like it's used for something. POOF!
Oh my i almost cruch him under it that would have been bad. Also what is he saying.
Ah. Something heavy... nothing here looks like that... Oh got the best idea. One of those encyclopedias he has. Let's SLAM the LID with it.
I watch as the Lid is punched inside itself under my SWEET DUNK.
A ball of light and some tube thing come out. The fuck is that.

> Regard new STUFF
Seems pretty gnarly to you.
This floating ball of light, which is very gnarly indeed. It seems to PULSE into multiple forms, and it is somehow beckoning you to put something in. Also CRUXITE came out.
> Captchalogue CRUXITE
You first measure its HEIGHT. 75.12 cm, perfect. You are right now utilizing your PHYSICS MODUS, so you always have a MEASURE TAPE handy. Good because you have NO IDEA what this CRUXITE is made of.
> Initiate next part of your MASTERPLAN
Science requires constant steps to greatness. You believe this sphere requires further investigation, but sure, let's get all the constructs out in the open.

Let us see... Alchemiter huh... SWEET LORDS OF EVERYTHING FOREVER THIS THIS IS HUGE. Eh, where do I put this giant whatever it is?
I can't extend the room further... gues I'll have to brute force it. I'm gonna close my eyes and hope I don't break anything.
Pop! Oh no that crash did nto sound good.

Finally we can get to business. Except you're pretty sure you're missing one little thingy, but you don't remember what it was. Also what's that sound.
Well that thing just got thrown in the air. Oh oh...

Oh, poor window, it must be clod at night, hope he doesn't catch a cold now. Anyways. it's time to poke the glowy ball thing.
Ok, for some reason i can't poke the thing. I can't even select it. it's like beckoning me to do something with it, but what am i supposed to do with it if I can't select it?
There's gotta be something around i can poke this thing with, or maybe that's ll glitch the game. Eh, whatevs, it'll be fun!
Oh, wait, i shouldn't touch those glass shards, I might cut him through general shenanigans. Ah, that pillow is perfect. Mushy and not lethal.
And there it goes! Hope this doesn't make anything explode.
