==>
You seem to have entered this one lying prone on a bed. Ain't got time for shit like a nap right now, the dream quests don't come 'till later. Ay, so what you do is roll back your legs, nice and easy like, tense your back, and with a practiced motion you do a fucking awesome forward flip, off the bed, right onto your feet. The proverbial audience goes wild. If you had anything in your modus right now, it would have probably been forcibly ejected by the sheer awesome of your awesome.
==> So who the hell are you?
You're freaking JANA PHILPS that's who. Three time veteran of the game of ETERNAL LIFE (until you die horribly) known only as SBURB, and master of all things RADICAL. Okay, you've been trying to tone it down a bit. No getting yourself in over your head in RECKLESS and UNADVISED stunts. RECKLESS and ADVISED stunts however, are a completely different story.
So you're just some GIRL from the TEXAN state of TEXAS, or at least that's the last place actually on EARTH you were from. Ya kinda miss the old homestead, but it was destroyed in an admittedly AWESOME meteor storm, so not much you can do about that. You're crazy ATHLETIC, like, crazy as hell. Name any SPORT, any. Go on, name it. I'm waiting. Well whatever the hell you just named, you can do it!
You're obviously a way more complicated CHARACTER than this, but we're gonna invoke a little principal called SHOW DON'T TELL here, aight?
==>
You're not surprised when your lightning fast appraisal of the room leads you to conclude that you got to replace some egghead, of all things. The walls are completely hidden behind stocked bookshelves, upon which a library of stuff you'd never read is crammed in. Of all the useless things to end up with. The kid probably prototyped a globe or something dumb like that. Nothing here you can use, though you figure the books might at least be useful fodder for a stunt or two.
So it's time to get on to stunting, you figure. There's no computer in this room, so you roll on out into the main body of the home. Damn, is every single wall in this home a bookshelf? You're half sure that the bathroom's toilet is probably a book or something like that. No time to validate that theory though, you got a new session to attend to. You wonder how many newbies are in this one, with any luck they won't be too crazy. You had a newbie who was a Maid of Hope last game. They kinda lost it and you had to intervene.
Awesomely.
The computer is tucked into a corner of a little room in the home, as if it were completely unused. It looks totes archaic too, like something out of the age of disco. Seriously, what was this kid's problem?

As you wait for this TG character to respond your snarky hello, you are contacted by a co-player who goes by the handle cursedTinker.
--cursedTinker [UM] began pestering dementedDamsel [DD] CT: Hello? CT: Is anyone there? CT: I've just been teleported here, wherever here is, and I have no clue what's going on. DD: Hello yourself, Mr. CT DD: Yes, I and many others are in fact out here, so don't weary yourself about being alone. DD: In case you were wondering my name is Elsa, and I pretty sure were quite in the same boat right now. DD: You, I and the others, have most likely have been transported onto our new Lands. Which is slightly unusually I must admit. Usually the session starts with everyone back on Earth. But it seems that Skaia is undergoing one of it's "Legendary Glitches", so things might be a little strange this time around. DD: Oh, I just realized that I've not even asked for your name, or whether this is in fact only your second session. DD: If it is your second session then I have a very amusing fact that you just got to hear about this Game. DD: Trust me, your going to be on the floor with tears in your eyes when I tell you.
Oh would you look at that, someone else has just contacted you. Well aren't you Miss. Popular. Try to talk to this obviously confused fellow, and maybe try to put his mind at ease.
--unaffiliatedMerc [UM] began pestering dementedDamsel [DD] UM: Hello? UM: You there? DD: Yes, I'm here, Mr. UM. DD: My name is Elsa, if you care to know. DD: Do you think you can return the courtesy and tell me a little about yourself. DD: I would love to know whether this your second session or not.

DD: No matter how many times you win the Game you just wined up playing again. DD: Again DD: Again. DD: And Again. DD: This is my ninth session and trust me, it never stops. DD: But don't feel to bad about this. At least you have friends to share in your never ending misery! DD: Speaking of friends it seems that one our co-players, insuppresibleFrost, has just decided to open a group memo. DD: It's called, "AND IT NEVER ENDS." DD: How fitting don't you agree to our current discussion? DD: Perhaps we should continue our conservation on this memo. I sure it will be a great opportunity to meet with the others.

to DD
TG: Hello, Ms. Graves. I'm Ness Gardna, pleased to make your acquaintance. TG: As to the subject of leadership, I'm not sure I could take that responsibility. I'm not sure that it's something you just "take" either. TG: Normally, it's determined by the first person to enter, but we seem to all have already entered. TG: We should probably take our discussion to the memo. TG: See you there. --tradingcardGamer [TG] ceased pestering dementedDamsel[DD]--
--tradingcardGamer [TG] responded to memo AND IT NEVER ENDS right now -- TG: Nice, someone had the foresight to open a memo. TG: To everyone who I haven't introduced myself to, being IF, DD, and CT, my name is Ness Gardna, formerly of New Turtle City in the Land of Security and Metropolis, ever more formerly of Domino City of Earth, now of unknown abode, male, 14, professional Duelist and hobbyist video gamer, former Page of Mind, now of unknown title. Pleased to make your acquaintance. TG: Now, SF- in response to your question of why I'm not panicking- I only do that if something happens that I don't expect. TG: Which is most of the time in SBURB, to be honest. TG: UM- your alchemized equipment is gone, sadly. I'm still mourning the loss of my treasured Duel Disk, Dragonforcer. And quite right, permadeath is never a thing that comes lightly. Do try to stay on the wagon for the session though, please. TG: So, looking at the player list, we have an odd number, which points to a glitch. Odd. TG: And another one seems to be that at the very least me and SF are on our planets, rather than Earth. Mine seems to be water-based, given that my Dwelling Spire extends about 20 feet out of an ocean stretching to the horizon. SF's description of his is "There's a bunch of hills everywhere." Hopefully when he gets on here he'll be able to elaborate. TG: Also about prototypings. TG: To my knowledge, they are a Mefist the Infernal General duel monsters card, an original iPod, and I don't know about the other five. TG: Watch out with the first one. TG: The underlings will be equipped with very heavy armor and oversized weapons which damage your soul and/or mind. I have no idea what Jeremy was thinking. TG: We should get a list going here.

My name's Don Silas, and I enjoy coding, video games, long walks on the beach, not being dead. As for prototypes, I prototyped a floppy disk and my dead sister. CCT: You know, fun times. CCT: To clarify, that was sarcasm. In no way did I enjoy seeing my family die in front of me. CCT: But yeah, I don't really see how that's relevant to the current situation.

TG: No, not what you prototyped last session, what the guy you're replacing prototyped this session. Wait, you're a newbie, aren't you. TG: How can I explain this... The Ultimate Reward is glitched. You can't receive the Reward at all. Instead, you end up in a failed session, replacing the dead player, rewound to a while before entering the Medium. TG: Or, in our case, to just after. TG: You'll need to meet your sprite and find out what they were prototyped with. Forewarning- the necroprototype was replaced by the dead player. You can try to find out what happened to their session, but if they're of similar disposition to Jeremefistsprite, you won't get much out of them. TG: On an aside, I did previously collect MtG cards as well. That prototyping sounds horrific. TG: Now, DD, I understand that you're a veteran? TG: Do the Atomyk Ebonpyres start on their own, or do they wait for a server connection to be created? I... don't seem to remember. I hate not being Mind. -- Jeremefistsprite (you decide to just call him Jeremy) shakes your shoulder and tells you that there's something you should see. You tell him not now, you're talking to your sessionmates. He says that that's what he did too, and he really regretted it. You tell him fine, you'll go see whatever it is. -- TG: Jeremy says there's something really important I should see. I'll be back... TG: He says he doesn't know how long it'll take. This computer is decidedly not portable, so I'll get back on at some point. TG: I will speak with you all later.

You haven't gotten a response back from TG for a bit, so you just stare at your computer for a while. You also ignore this 'galvinStarlight' and his box of stupid for the moment. This is all a little jarring, and you're not sure how you're supposed to feel about it other than broken. So the game never stops. Ever. You sit there for a minute. Eventually, a blip breaks the silence. An invitation to a memo? The name seems like someone's sick idea of a joke. You opt not to respond; you're not sure how much more of this you can take.
Someone behind you says hey. You act reasonably and flinch like a cat to a spraybottle, knocking over the chair you were sitting on in the process. Using your LIGHTNING FAST REFLEXES (seriously you're pretty sure you weren't this uncoordinated before) you pick yourself up and behold the...thing. Sprite. Oh. Some random guy that looks like he tried to give himself a mohawk, but started out with like three-foot-long hair, so what's left over kinda flops over one side of his face and curls. And a lip piercing. And eyeshadow. He has feathered wings too, so maybe he prototyped a bird or something. Also he's black. Like everything else.
??: hey SF: Are you supposed to be an emo or something. ??: no ??: im emotionally scarred ??: shut up SF: That looks pretty emo. SF: What the fuck did you prototype. ??: a pony ??: ponies are cool SF: A pony. SF: With wings. ??: yeah SF: Fuck it, I don't care. SF: I dub thee emoquinesprite. SF: Have fun being a bird horse thing. EQ: no call me flutterjamesprite SF: Why the fuck would I call you that. FJ: its the name of the pony SF: What pony. FJ: the one i prototyped SF: You're staying emoquinesprite because its fucking clever. EQ: fine whatever EQ: buck this im outa here
And with that he leaves through the floor. Maybe you could have been less rude to him, but then again you don't really care. You feel like you deserve to be rude to an 'emotionally scarred' person every once in a while if your world just got thrown on its side. On the bright side, having an argument with a winged emo horse knocked you out of your shocked stage. Now you're more annoyed than anything else. Good on you, emoquinesprite. You pick up the chair that was knocked over during your bout of LIGHTNING FAST REFLEXES (which you don't have), give the deepest sigh of all, and click on the invitation from a...insuppresibleFrost. Wow they've been going at it already, haven't they? You get to reading. It looks like TG answered your question here instead of responding. That's okay you guess. A few minutes of reading later, and you get to typing, thankfully more calm than you were a few minutes prior.
------------------------------------
TG: Jeremy says there's something really important I should see. I'll be back... TG: He says he doesn't know how long it'll take.

SF: So if imps start neighing and flying around, now you know why. SF: Anyway, I panicked a bit there about SBURB restarting. SF: I think I'm okay now. SF: My name is Chase Bishop. Seer of Void in my...previous...session. SF: My land is just filled with hills. A lot of them are red, but I don't know if it's all of them. SF: That's about all I can tell. SF: So what are we supposed to do now? SF: I mean, of course there's the server/client thing. SF: Should we start on that quickly, before all of the imps start spawning? SF: I thought I was an expert on SBURB, but apparently not.

After a while you of not getting a response from SF or TG you decide to finally open that memo you were invited to. You really should have done that to start with. --galvinStarlight [GS] ceased pestering tradingcarGamer TG right now-- --galvinStarlight [GS] ceased pestering schadenFreudian [SF] right now -- Well it seems everyone is off to a very chatty start. Glad to know everyone is getting off to a good start. --galvinStarlight [GS] responed to memo AND IT NEVER ENDS right now – Well it seems that I’m the last one to the party. Sorry for taking so long. Who knows though maybe I’m a time player this time. Heh heh Anyways I’d have to agree with schadenFreudian The best thing to do now is find out who each other’s server/client players are Once that’s established we can start trying to figure out just what we’re dealing with this session: Titles aspects, lands, prototyping, All that good stuff Oh and for some clarification cursedTinker This being a different session that your first, you’ll find your sprite to bit different. If you can try and find him/her/it and see exactly what exactly the prototype is.
