Six-player session in Earth 2012-a4gryuc3 (Replayer Session-Alternate Earth)
Bane of Law in the Land of Cubes and Books (fC) PC:rambuntiousMidget Dame of Time in the Land of Graves and Clay (eK) PC:masqueradeFanatic Prince of Void in the Land of Thorns and Dawn (mD) PC:musicalDecay Rogue of Stars in the Land of Forest and Rainbows (kT) PC:knowThyself Scout of Space in the Land of Copper and Frogs (cG) PC:cursedGardener Knight of Life in the Land of Circuitry and Spires (vV) PC:verbileVicenary
All six players wake up in an unfamiliar house/apartment to take the places of what you can assume are the former players and current corpse/smudges. Sburb is already running on their computers, and in about twenty minutes the chain starts to get everyone in.
Noticable Earth Differences: (likely irrelevant) Ketchup is green Higher purity metals in coinage Dirigibles see equal use to planes (from what you can see out windows, etc) This universe's Twilight seems to be a rather sober retelling of the Bisclavret story.

A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 19th of June, is this young man's birthday. Though it was sixteen years ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given...What do you mean it's not his birthday? Oh well, let's just pick a name.
What will the name of this.....What! He already has a name? How many sessions has this kid gone through? Two? Well, this made my job exponentially easier!
Your name is NICK PAULSON. As was previously mentioned it is NOT your BIRTHDAY. There are no CAKES scattered about your room. They have been replaced with numerous SCRIPTS you hope to one day use in a production. You have a variety of INTERESTS. You have a passion for THEATER. You like to play JAPANESE ROLEPLAYING GAMES, you consider yourself VERY GOOD AT IT. You have an obsession over a popular game called TETRIS, and are an aspiring ACTOR. You also like to COLLECT POKEMON-RELATED MERCHANDISE. Your chumhandle is rambuntiousMidget.
What will you do?

===> Be Someone else.
You are now someone else, who just woke up from a all too short nap. It is not his birthday, sadly, and on your last one, you turned 17 (or was it his 16th?)- So no trying to name him something ridiculous. His name is silly enough already, anyways.
Your Name is John Smith...Yes, really. Thats your name. It's given you no end of trouble- Your Parents had a really odd sense of humor. Funny, but odd. Anyways, Your Room is filled with stacks ofBOOKS MANGA, Comics, DVD's,and VIDEOGAME DISC'S, with Printed out FAN ART of various series that you like on the walls (you didn't make them- you found them on the internet)... Yes your room is a mess- you tried orginizing it, but it never lasts for long. You like STORIES, no matter the medium, as long as they are good.
Your Chumhandle is knowThyself, and this going to be your 4th ****ing session of this God****, evil, **** of a **** that should be [REDTRACTED DUE TO LENGHT AND FOULNESS]... Anywho, what will you do next?
====> Go back to taking a nap. ...No, Seriously. You just woke up from a nap, why would you need another?
====>... I'm not going to get a good night rest after the game starts.
...Good Point, but you can't. Things are going get busy soon. So, what your next move?

===> Check Out The Other Guy's Room. Your back to being the other guy, seriously, what is with all of these changes? Your moving more then a baby having a seizure! Other people may have found that joke in bad taste but to your very dark sense of humor, it's hilarious. In fact, you begin to laugh hard enough that you fall on your TETRIS BLOCK CHAIR. Your room is covered in posters depicting the most FAMOUS PLAYS IN HISTORY including Romeo ad Juliet, Macbeth and the theater adaptation of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, also known as Spamalot. On your wall closest to your door lies your POKEMON COLLECTION. These games have kept you entertained since you were four and still take over your time whenever your not on stage. When your not playing Pokemon, your trying to finally beat that damn Tetris game. ===> Inspect Spamalot Poster. Look at this masterpiece. 2.bp.blogspot.com/-p_yFCY7cANo/UCbPEP_LLrI/AAAAAAAABgQ/tL_R3r6U3eg/s1600/spamalot-wallpaper-grail.jpegThis is truly an amazing work of art. Six brave knights, full of laughter and mirth, go on a hilarious journey given to them by god himself to find the holy grail. Of course, hilarity ensues. One of the best productions ever created. ===> Defeat Tetris. What are you on? You can't beat Tetris! All you can do is watch in peril as your three hours of vanishing lines disappears with one misplaced block. Nevertheless, you hold the top three high scores in the world and, with a bit of luck, hope to make a fourth. Two hours later, you curse and throw the back on the desk. One day Tetris. One day you will cower in fear at the very mention of my name.

===> Be someone else.
You are now someone else who is It will not be his birthday for months, and the last time he had one, he celebrated turning 18. He has had a name for years now, and you will not be giving him a new one anytime soon.
Your Name is Randell Thorne. It is an UNNATURALLY COLD night. The FIREPLACE is burning all the wood left in your house, and you're pretty sure it's SNOWING outside. Even Worse would be the sound of the PLAYER PIANO, weird you always thought your OLDER SISTER actually played that thing. Now for your INTERESTS. Someone like you is guarantied to have a few. You have a minor obsession for READING BOOKS which you have STACKED on EVERY FLAT SURFACE. You also like to TEND TO THE FLOWERS in your yard. You have what you're keeping in your SECRET RELIQUARY, sitting by your WINDOW, placed perfectly for LOOKING AT THE MOON. You have PLAYED SBURB TWICE so far, and are spending the time between sessions PRINTING pictures relevant to the interests you just mentioned. And if these SNOW CLOUDS move out of the way in time, you plan on SNAPPING A PHOTO OF THE FULL MOON. Your Chumhandle is cursedGardener.
What are you going to do next?
===> Attempt to tap into Your latent lycanthropic powers.
Sadly, you have no such powers.
===> Open SECRET RELIQUARY.
You open your SECRET RELIQUARY and...

==> Instigate Dramatic Juxtaposition
Your name is Noah Stark, and what the hell is this?
Apparently some kind of weird hatbox. Full of sweet, sweet CHARACTER SHEETS equally chock full of memories of shenanigans past. Each more equally chock full than the last. Even more important, you had them in your SCHEMA sylladex before the lights went out on your last session.
==> Reminisce Forebodingly
You abjure the hell out of that idea. Your last session ended in stars and barely-avoided grasping tentacles. You think it's better if you just stick to the here and now. Like this freaking awful room.
You have an interest in ROLEPLAYING, in PSYCHOLOGY and the INNER WORKINGS of the HUMAN PSYCHE, and a penchant for VERBIAGE that borders on the exhibitionistic. You just fucking adore words of all stripes. Tincture is an awesome word. Man. You wonder if you could use it in a sentence about now. You're going to have to think about that later. We've got a dead kid's room here to look through.
Hm. There's like nothing here. A lot of it got caught in a DEADLY ELECTRONICS FIRE involving a toaster. Who has a toaster in their bedroom?
==> Make Memorial Toast
Your memory will live on, dead kid whom no one will remember. Cause they'll all be dead. Just like you. You hope nothing wacky occurs with this kid's electrocuted and smoky corpse. Like all real gamers, you LOOT THE CORPSE of what looks like bits of wire, a soldering iron, and a stuffed SLOTH TOY. You will name it Spudder.
==> Vaguely theorize on upcoming point-of-view shift
On what now-

====> Too Late!
'Too Late' what? Anyways, You are Now JOHN SMITH agai-... Wait, where did I go?
====> Enter Room, With Cup of Coffee. There I am! But enough of this silliness. Time to check out your room.
====> Look at printed up Fanart. ...There are Way too many posters of nearly naked chicks for your liking. This is why computers exist- So your gaurdians don't find it and decide to give you a 'TALK'. At least the guy who had this room before you had similar tastes in stories. You gave him a prayer to help ease his spirit earlier- It's the least you could do. Also, Note to self, clean out room, so you don't die by BookLanche like he did- that would be embarsing.
You would perfer Fanart with your favorite villians looking awesome/menacing, but nothings perfect. You can fix that later.
====> Find your Computer. ...That is goning difficult. You don't see a Good old Desktop, so it's probably a Laptop (need to fix that later). With this mess... yeah it's gonna take awhile.

===> Let's check in on someone else
Your name is LILAC BARNETT. And right now you appear to be ASLEEP.
Seriously, what time is it right now? 2 a.m.? It’s late to say the least. Well, despite the fact you are UNCONSCIOUS, you still have several interests. You enjoy reading MANGA and watching ANIME… you more or less enjoy JAPANESE CULTURE in general. You also like MEDITATION and MARTIAL ARTS.
===> Look around the room
Lilac seems to be lying on a mat on the floor asleep. Your laptop apears to be open and on beside you on the floor. Besides that, this room seems to be empty! What boring person could have possibly been living here before?

Noah: Captchalogue Smore
You have zero interest in carting around a dead kid. Honestly. You give Spudder an affectionate pat and captchalogue him immediately.
==> Examine schmo's gear.
You spend twenty minutes dicking around with the laptop your new friend and current elephant in the room graciously doesn't mind you using. Seriously, what is with this young man and his electrical diagrams. You almost feel dirty, seeing all these circuits exposed like that.
Really, you're busy thinking about the game.
Noah: Expound of said game. Wax lyrical if you must.
You don't know much about it, admittedly, but your Shakespearean comrade has talked it up off and on, in between script-writings.
Next time he pesters you, you're going to subtly play up, you know, actually starting this time. Maybe get one of your other friends to help nudge things along.

====> Smith: Find laptop.
After ten minutes of Searching feriously for your laptop, You finally found it... In your Backpack modulus (which you explain later, when you captchalogue something). To be fair, you are used to the wieght of a Desktop. Anyways, Time to check the internet, and read some fanfic/Manga/ect, and maybe pester someone. You won't have much time to that once the Game begins.

===> Randell: close SECRET RELIQUARY. You close the SECRET RELIQUARY, you were amazed that this house had one, or anything to put in it. Guess you were just lucky this time. ===> Go to kitchen. You are now in the kitchen, the only part of the house which you haven't rearranged yet. The corpse is still here, pinned to the ground with a sword. Why was her refrigerator full of swords anyways? ===> Check bottle on table. It's just a bottle of ceaser dressing. ==> Drink ceaser dressing. Surely it couldn't hurt. While no one is looking... Just a taste. Bluh!!

====> How Disguisting! Why did you drink that?
Drink what? It's Just coffee.
====> Pester VV
You already did that! When you were busy being someone else- He asked for you and everyone else to compile a 'shopping chart' of suff he could get.
====> Pester everyone else about that
Thats what your doing! But you got distracted, because, apparently IT GO TIME. Or at least it is for Someone else.
====> Prepare for Fun Times. Thats what your doing- Geting as many Pics, art, and Fan art off the internet, so you can make stuff later. Oh, right you need a good printer. You have one, but it's elsewhere in the house, you can get it later.
(OOC: Cursed Gardener, Do you have PesterChum?)

==> Begin searching for your objectives
A few pesterlogs later, you have a short list of things to gather in your copious time before getting into the session.
Apparently, three of your comrades see notepads, pens, steamrollers, sandwiches shaped like tetris blocks (yeah, right), and dumplings as important uses of your time. cG and mD haven't gotten in touch with you, so their shopping lists will have to wait.
==> Sack up
You... don't use a backpack. That's what your fetch modus is for.
You decide to set in motion careful plans (aka, some badgering) and get your theatrical friend started on getting people into the game; if you're going scavenging you don't want to come back to find meteors raining down on your parade like igneous wet blankets.
Noah: Engage Looting Music

===> Nick: Captchalouge Tetris game. You captchalougue the game into your sylladex. Your Tetris Modus takes over, giving you a 2x3 rectangular piece. An easy task for someone of your gaming caliber. ===> Captchalouge Yorick. Alas, poor Yorick. Your sacrifice was not in vain. The skull turns into a 4x4 block with two cubes sticking out the bottom in the middle. Again, you easily slot it into your sylladex. ===> Run sBurb-Client. You quickly grab the disc from the drawer beside the computer, much easier then the last one you had to grab, and place it into the disk drive of the computer. While it loads, you might as well start working on your- god damnit, who's pestering you now? [[05:35] VV: have you started yet [05:36] RM: I'm working on it. Don't worry. [05:38] VV: i'm not worried, i'm anxious [05:39] RM: Point taken. I'm just getting my copy from the drawer as we speak. [05:39] RM: At least it's not way out of reach like it was last time. [05:40] RM: It was on top of a telephone pole....A telephone! [05:40] VV: i'm mostly messaging you to say i'm gathering useful things to bring into the session with all this time [05:40] VV: if you have any requests, declare them now [05:41] RM: Hmmmmm, bring me a simple notepad and a pen, that should suffice. [05:42] VV: thats all you want? [05:42] RM: And a bacon sandwhich. [05:43] RM: Shaped like a tetris block. [05:43] VV: well, that's... easier than getting a steamroller, that's for sure. [05:43] RM: Specificly, an L-block. [05:43] RM: A steamroller? [05:43] RM: Who the hell wants a steamroller? [05:44] VV: kT [05:48] RM: I don't know whether to clap slowly or slap him. [05:48] VV: it's a tossup alright. unlikely i can obtain one in this brief prelude, though. [05:49] RM: Yeah, I was wondering how the hell you were going ot get that. [05:51] VV: so writing material and a sandwich. thy will be done [05:52] RM: Your sacrifice will not be in vain. [05:52] RM: I shall bring you a....ummm, Oh! I'll bring you a Charizard plushie because apparently I have alot of those. [05:53] VV: i don't know what to say to that, but sure. :j [05:58] RM: Awesome. Oh, the game started. I'm, hopefully, going to get past the impending apocalypse. [05:59] VV: affirmative, see you soon then. [06:00] RM: Same to you my friend. [06:00] -- rambuntiousMidget [RM] ceased pestering verbileVicenary [VV] at 06:00 --/spoiler] ===> Hold Your End Of The Bargain. You go to the pile of Pokemon plushies in your new room. If you weren't in such a rush you would dive in there and snuggle every single one but, unfortionately, there is not enough time for that. You place a small Charizard plushie in your sylladex, turning it into a upside down T-block with three blocks sticking out either side. You curse as a loud buzzing comes from your computer, the item suddenly skews to the left and lands on top of poor Yorick. Who could be pestering you now?! ===> Answer Block Blocker. [06:17] -- knowThyself [KT] began pestering rambuntiousMidget [RM] at 06:17 -- [06:18] RM: Make it quick, I'm kind-of in a hurry here, with the meteors coming to destroy this awesome house and all. [06:18] KT: Ah, So VV did contact you. [06:19] KT: Good Luck. That is all. [06:19] -- knowThyself [KT] changed their mood to RELAXED -- [06:20] KT: Sorry to bother you. [06:20] RM: A quick question. Hypotheticly, would it be bad if I prototyped a pokedex in the near future? [06:21] KT: ...it would be interesting, Thats for sure. [06:21] KT: You maybe just tell our foes our stats and stuff. [06:21] KT: Our worse, give them the power of various pokemon. [06:22] RM: Damn, I was hoping we'd have to fight pokemon instead. [06:22] KT: ...or that could happen. [06:22] KT: I have no bloody clue. [06:23] RM: Well, thank you for your time. See you in a bit...or possibly never. [06:23] KT: Hopefully a bit. [06:24] RM: That's really all we have left.

===> Wake up Buh. You wipe your sweatered arm across your sleepy eyes as your computer wakes you. It seems someone is pestering you... ===> Answer VV Yes, of course. ===> Get out of bed After a short conversation with VV you agree to try and get the "game" started by talking to RM. You remember playing a game in the past... but it mustn't have been that interesting. You seem to have forgotten the majority of the details. ===> Wander around There's really not much to see. You've been in this weird little hut for a couple weeks now and nothing interesting seems to be in it. Well, except for the room with all those weird antique weapons. But that's not really your style. Other than that it's all hardwood floors and emptiness. It makes a great space to meditate though... ===> You're getting distracted Oh! Sorry. ===> Back to buisness You grab some of the dried food you found under the floor of your room and settle down in front of your laptop to chow down. You miss real food =/. Just some dumplings would be great... ===> SERIOUSLY FOCUS Sorry!!! You open up pesterchum and see that RM is online. You better talk to him... you promised VV... plus this game sounds exciting!

[09:57] RM: Something that would look cool and kick-ass. ===> Hmm. You wonder what he'll prototype... Prototype... Prooototype... You roll the word around in your mouth for a minute while staring at the glowing screen on your lap. It's so... familiar. Ah! You've played this before... but... you can't seem to remember anything past being someone's server player... Are... you suffering from amnesia?
