As such, I really must ask, are you really a troll? And... Ah... Not the ugly ones from (human )fairy tales that live under bridges, right? Just making sure. Yes they are really a troll, no not the (your earth) fairy tale kind.1. Janice(Jack's sister), strifing(strifeing?) alongside Jack against a large... Thing. Guessing it's an ogre? Jack's Hammerkind abstratus didn't seem to do as much damage as Janice's Knifekind. That's a relativly normal cloud, can't help you there2. Jake in some sort of crystalline cavern, fleeing from some massive quadrupedal monster. No idea what in all hell that was, dubbing it 'Behemoth' until further notice. In other news, it appears he somehow got his hands on a Gunbladekind abstratus. The heck? Gunblade is a great specibus, not sure about the rest of it.3. Jane dancing along to a beat while fighting some form of Imp. She was mouthing... Something. That sounds like a fraymotif, it's like battle music you control, and it give you bonuses.4. This one was of note because it was just plain weird. I was standing in the middle of a field, a hill in the background... Staring at a cow. Weird, right?. Weird. Right.

Cool! Wait, if they don't look like troll-y trolls, then what do they look like?
No arguing with you there. Especially if he gets Lightning's from FFXIII, that thing can morph between a machine gun(from what I recall) and an actual sword!... Or would that simply switch between belonging to the Gunkind and Bladekind strife specibi?
I... Have no idea why that cow one was so weird. Is it because cows themselves are inherently weird or something?

Wait, if they don't look like troll-y trolls, then what do they look like? TROLLS ARE ALIENS NATIVE TO THE PLANET ALTERNIA. THEIR APPEARANCE IS THAT OF A BLACK-HAIRED, GREY-SKINNED HUMAN, WITH CANDY-CORN ORANGE HORNS OF VARYING SHAPES AND SIZES. THEIR EYES HAVE A YELLOW SCLERA, BLACK PUPILS, AND GREY IRISES, THAT TURN THEIR BLOOD COLOR AS THEY AGE. THEIR BLOOD COMES IN A VARIETY OF COLORS, WHICH WOULD NORMALLY DETERMINE THEIR CASTE. THE ORDER OF BLOOD COLORS, FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST IS AS FOLLOWS; LOWBLOODS COLORS=BURGUNDY, ORANGE, AND YELLOW MIDBLOODSCOLORS=OLIVE GREEN, JADE GREEN, AND TEAL HIGHBLOODSCOLORS=CERULEAN, DARK BLUE, AND INDIGO SEADWELLERSCOLORS=VIOLET, ROYAL TYRIAN PURPLE THERE ARE ALSO MUTANT BLOODED TROLLS, WHO DO NOT FIT ON THE LIST, IF THE EMPIRE DISCOVERED THEM, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IMMEDIATELY. THIS SOCIAL STRUCTURE, CALLED THE HEMOSPECTRUM, IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED BY THE COMMUNITY TO BE INCREDIBLY RACIST. EVEN BY MOST TROLLS. IF YOU FIND ANYONE FLAUNTING THEIR BLOOD COLOR AROUND AND USING IT TO BOSS OTHERS AROUND, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE. FOR GREAT JUSTICE.FOR MORE INFORMATION ON TROLLS AND THE OTHER ALIEN RACES, PLEASE VISIT THE "So. Aliens." BOARD IN THE "GENERAL DISCUSSION" SECTION.

...Speaking of weird, Staapp...? ...stanzicApparati's species was listed as 'Troll'. Erm... What? ...Admittedly, when I found this thing, and the registration process had listing my species as a field, I thought that it was just being snarky, silly, etc. But, since I am currently typing this on top of a tower overlooking a golden kingdom of pawn-people, watching the sky for prophetic clouds, while asleep, preparing for an apocalypse caused by a video game my friend got in a contest, the concept of alien life isn't exactly far-fetched. To be honest, I wouldn't be all that surprised if someone mentioned that tentacle monsters existed and had a thing for Japanese schoolgirls. As such, I really must ask, are you really a troll? And... Ah... Not the ugly ones from (human )fairy tales that live under bridges, right? Just making sure. Yes, I'm a troll. Yes, aliens are actually a thing. No, I'm not the racist fairly-tale version. I'll send you a copy of Tenthe's Troll Guide; it's pretty helpful. And it covers Beforans as well as Alternians.

@co: OOH! OOH! OOH! So, in other words, if anyone's being a jerk, flaunting their blood color at everyone, and overall breaking Wheaton's Law(Don't be a dick), immediately apply Berserking Player Remedy #3: Drop Kick To The Head? (I would have used the related image from GGtG's FAQ, but the fora aren't ASCII-friendly, it seems.) On an unrelated note, your signature reads that you are ten meters tall. Not exactly the best at metric conversion, but doesn't that place you at 20-30 feet tall? Holy crap! You're huge!
@sa: Thanks for the guide, stanzicApparati! Also, the fairy-tale versions I was referring to are... In one word, ugly. In three, glass-shatteringly ugly. Stand at some tall height, varying from author to author(8-12 feet is the average, I believe), ludicrously obese, ludicrously strong, carries around a large wooden club, dumber than a sack of rocks, commonly depicted with green skin, and stink to high heaven. Unless I wind up in some EverQuest-related session, I won't be dealing with those. Thankfully. Trolls, barring the castists, actually sound like pretty nice people. I can't wait to meet some. I'll be sure to read the guide as soon as I can. Right now, I have more pressing matters, such as IT'S SUNDAY AND I DON'T HAVE A PLAN SBURB IS COMING IN THE MORNING OH GOD WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!?!?!?! I mean, I finally found a guide for entry(tentacleTherapist is a particularly verbose individual, isn't she?), but after that? ZIP! NADA! BUMPKIS(Or however you spell that)! I am unarmed, got a vague idea of a means of attack, am scared witless, and have an impending deadline! Emphasis on DEAD. Here's my current gameplan for entry: Step 1: Advise server player on what to do. About half of the listed people respect me enough to listen to me before playing The Sims with my house. Step 2: Deploy items in this order: Totem Lathe, Alchemiter, Pre-punched card. My living room should have enough space for all this crap without blocking anything, but I'll have to shuffle things around before the game starts, and after my parents leave for the day. Step 3: Insert Pre-punched card into Totem Lathe. Step 4: Grab sledgehammer from garage. Step 5: Have server player deploy Cruxtruder. Step 6: Smash lid. Captchalogue sledgehammer. Step 7: Throw road map from Sylladex at the Kernalsprite, grabbing a Cruxite Dowel. Step 8: Put Dowel on Totem Lathe. Step 9: Take Carved Dowel to Alchemiter Step 10: Alchemize Cruxite [OBJECT] Step 11: Either use or break the Cruxite [OBJECT]. Entry: Successful.
Post-entry: ...Still nothing.
If I could make a Portal Gun, I could easily use that to launch terminal velocity flying stuff at enemies, which would probably be very effective. But that's probably really expensive. ...Wait... Portals... Hey! Can you move Portals around? Also, does it cost any Pluck to actually use a Portal? Or is it just one of those "You set it up, free to use" things?

WHY THANK YOU. YES, I AM 31 FEET TALL. WHY WOULDN'T I BE? I AM, AFTER ALL, A MILITARY-GRADE AI HOUSED IN A QUAD-LEGGED MOBILE HEAVY WEAPONS PLATFORM. I HAVE TO BE THIS LARGE, AND BE A QUADRUPED INSTEAD OF A BIPED, BECAUSE FIRING A 250 KILOGRAM TUNGSTEN CYLINDER AT A NOT-INSIGNIFICANT FRACTION OF THE SPEED OF LIGHT PRODUCES SIGNIFICANT RECOIL. ((cO is best described as a mech from the series Armored Core. just google it.)) I mean, I finally found a guide for entry(tentacleTherapist is a particularly verbose individual, isn't she?) UHHHH... WHILE TT'S GUIDE IS GOOD AT FIRST, IT RAPIDLY TURNS INTO A CASE STUDY FOR [THE OTHERS] CORRUPTION. DOES YOUR WORLD HAVE ANY WORKS BY SOMEONE OF THE NAME "H.P.Lovecraft"? IF SO, YOU SHOULD SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING.

Do not use tentacleTherapist's guide! It isn't reliable and it becomes heavily corrupted about half-way in. It's not useful at all unless you want to see what it looks like when someone succumbs to Other-based corruption.
GG's guide is problematic due to time-travel encryption, I know, but between that, here, and the IRC, you've got all the resources you need.
Re: being unarmed - you can use random items, you just won't be much good with them. Toss something decent at an imp and then flail at it with a chair leg or something. Or get your server player to squash it with a fridge or something. It'll drop a specibus of whatever it was using to attack you with.
I've never rolled Space, but I'm pretty sure that portals do cost pluck to open them. Maintaining them probably varies some.

@co: *whistles* Geez, with that amount of heat you're packing, what's keeping you from one-shotting your Denizen or Black King? ...Game stats, I take it?
And yeah, I know where that's going, I read GGtG's warning, thanks anyway for the warning. On the plus side, thanks to the screencaps that... mysteriously, are valid, I have a vague understanding of how the Server player sees things.
You know, if I could figure out what I did with my Pictionary(Keep wanting to say Pictogram for some reason) Fetch Modus, AND I manage to get those screencaps up on MY computer back at home, I MIGHT be able to trace certain things. MAYBE. Not... Really sure what all that'd accomplish, actually. Beyond giving me the Captchalogue Code for the Punch Designix(Which is useless without the dang thing), I don't know what I'd do with it. ...Wait... ...I just remembered something. I have a ghost image of some Iron Man armor running around somewhere. ...Still useless until I get the Alchemiter.
@sa: Thanks for the warning, SA. Again, already read GGtG's warning. Couldn't locate a decent Entry Guide, and everyone says it's corrupted from half-way in. Unless she stopped writing it shortly after entering the Medium, I should be able to get a gist of what to do to enter the Medium. Thanks to it, I got the gameplan as listed one post prior. ...Hmmm... Hey, anyone know if I can send an E-mail to an Earth e-mail address?
Edit: Oops, forgot. I guessed opening portals would cost Pluck, I was just curious if actually using one would cost me pluck, like if my cat hopped into one.

<<LINK>>
That's a link to a site where you can find the instructions to make explosive devices without the use of an alchemiter with what you can find laying around the house or buy for a child's allowance. It'll do until you find your specibus card.
Trust me. Explosions are fun and easy to use.

Although, I'd prefer it if I didn't have to blow my house to hell and back. I might wind up having to bust a window and some vases, or simply load up the steak knives into my Sylladex. Sure there will be holes in the drywall, but... Meh. Better than accidentally blowing out a main support beam or destroying a load-bearing wall.

*breathing* In, out. In, out. Stay calm, John. Just stay. Calm. Okay, yes. Fake being sick, when Mom and Dad start to leave, search closet for the Pictionary Fetch Modus. Then start shuffling the house around... Yes... *sigh* Look around the house for ingredients for some low-yield explosives, Captchalogue. Move furniture to very edges of the room, coffee table on couch. Get sledgehammer in advance. Make journal of Captchalogue codes so I don't have to look for that object in the near-future. Look for that damnable specibus. Captchalogue, make note of code. I think that a Specibus would make for interesting alchemy fodder. Get a decent weapon, something I can flail about and do a nice hunk of damage with. Cushion isn't going to work. Fill one of Mom's or Sis's purses with rocks and use that. Or maybe make a nail-bat. Eject a Captchalogue Card, Captchalogue it, and make note of the code. A twelve-item inventory isn't going to last me forever. ...Make highest-yield explosive possible, Captchalogue, make note of code, dismantle, discard or remake into lower-yield explosives. Explore house, look for more conventional weapons. Captchalogue, make note of code. ...goingtodiegoingtodiegoingto-NO! Going to live, darn it!

cO is right, you know.
Entry isn't really that hard. I'd say it's easy enough that you could enter the game while coordinating two simultanious timelines and decapitating yourself with a time-traveling microwave.
Just remember that your server player will have your back, and your house is going to come with you so you don't have to run around captchaloguing the dust mites for their codes.

...Erm... you weren't supposed to see that. That was my preparing for everything else I could think of, 'Just in case's. I mean, what if something broke I wanted to Alchemize with? Plus, I kept imagining people rushing to beat the clock before getting squashed with a meteor. Not to mention, I had five hours I hadn't the slightest clue to do with. Okay, here's the rundown of the past 12 hours. I tracked down that Pictionary fetch modus. Either my mom messed around with my closet, or my previous idea of 'throw into closet' was 'Put neatly into shoebox in corner'. ...Yeah, Mom messed around with my closet. Around two in the afternoon, everyone was home from school and college, Sis came home early, and raised an eyebrow at my moving of the furniture. Lied, covered it up by saying some BS about yoga or something. Jake is my server player, he types in dark blue. Thankfully, he listened to me. I had underestimated the size of the Alchemiter and the Cruxtruder. The latter is in my living room, while the former in my kitchen. Entry took about two minutes, me having prototyped with a road map. Proceeded to panic and absconded to my room. Jake offed an Imp for me, and I shut and locked my door whilst looking around for objects to chuck. Ten minutes later, an Imp broke in, armed with a fire axe. In related news, I now have Axkind in my Strife Portfolio. Also in related news, I suck with axes. In completely related news... Did you know that, apparently, if you get an Imp's health to critical levels, you can Captcha it? Yep, just like Pokemon. I even got to name him. And that's how I got Sir Callahan of Bratwurst. Stuff happened, my untyped Strife Specibus got launched out a window, and then a coplayer(Danielle, with Jane as a server player) entered. Battles were harder, yes, but only slightly. After brutally murdering a bunch of imps, the Punch Designix was deployed. Sixty Captchalogue Cards later, I now have one epic inventory. Sir Callahan, now assigned the Bladekind abstratus(Lucky bastard) has been helping, armed with one of my brother's swords I found behind the couch. I'm on my fifth Rung, while he's on his third. Lots of alchemical screwing around later, Sir Callahan is now wielding a Chinese Officer's Sword, and I a dual-edged Great Axe. Further, I would like to point out that barely ANYONE in video games seems to use axes. My sister is also helping, she's got a Morph Gun. You know, from Jak II? She's been restricted to red ammo until further notice. Why? An... Incident, shall we say, with the ricochet bullets.
Currently relaxing in a crystal field. Sis is up and about, worrying over our situation, waving the Morph Gun all over the place. She's a disturbingly good shot with that thing. Jack's entered. I'm diligently searching out a Skaian Magicant for us to dump our siblings until end-game.
Finally, I do believe that this no longer belongs in the "Hellos" thread. Should I move it to Logs? Or First Session Stories?
Edit: Oh yeah, forgot to mention, shortly after entry, my cat pounced on the Mapsprite. I now have a Catsprite. ...He says 'Hello'.

Ohfuck.
Catsprite? That ruins my plan for keeping your sister alive.
Basically the idea was that when she died you could prototype her. But she isn't dead, so... Okay, new plan, and this one isn't one I can just say "trust me" and keep quiet about. Don't let her read this as she won't like it.
Outside of some extreme glitch or maybe, just maybe using the Skaian Magicant, you may be able to save her by... Exiling her. Specifically, once the reckoning starts, put her on a meteor (With a carapace! Under no circumstances should you send her alone!) Headed for Skaia with appropriate protective gear.
If it goes well she'll be put back on Earth centuries after everyone is dead. On the downside, she'll be the only human alive. On the upside, every carapace you exile will be there with her, and without a war-hungry royalty they're an amazingly accepting society and will welcome her with open arms.
If it works, she'll be one of the people who creates a new, carapacian society on earth.
Exiles also serve as guides in Sburb, subconcious whispering voices which can help you out. If you do go through with this and succeed, it's actually fairly likely Future!Sis is your exile.
...But until that happens, find a Magicant and stick her in it.
