==> QW: Vent
Oh you really want to. Which is a rare occasion for you. But after trying to make heads or tails of your mistakes with Ross and then, for some ungodly reason, talking about it with Reni you just want to hit something hard. And because of the game you have something to do that to.
You leave the room in Ross's hotel you had found and work your way out to the maze and that horrific weighty silence that looms over the labyrinth. At this point you don't even care if you get lost. The only two people on this world were you and Ross and you needed to be as far away from him as possible if you wanted to keep yourself in a proper mindset. Two talks, two mistakes. It was clear when he was around you couldn't think straight. [/center] ==> QW: Strife!
It's not that hard to find one of the radioactive hulks, their greenish glow standing out in the darkness as you walk alone the top of the maze. You and your web make your way toward him, but the web isn't nearly as effective now that they have these strange powers. However you're feeling mad enough to do this by hand. Or at least that's what you try. You hop down into the maze and onto the hulk, some vines restraining it as you wrap more around its neck.
And then everything was flickering and spazzing out. [/center] ==> QW: Recover
It seems your position is constantly changing, the world around you flickering rapidly. Then the vines snap and the hulk manages to grab you from its back. The next thing you know you're flying through the air and the hulk who threw you is gone. Fortunately a tree breaks your momentum but the ground decides to steal your breath. Or the tree did. Everything's spinning so you're not too certain anymore.
LAND OF BONE AND GROVES
You see blue sky and the world around you seems to have stopped flickering, but you hardly have the sense to recognize it or look anywhere but straight up as you try to catch your breath. [/center] |

==> VC: WELCOME FRIEND
Actually, you are sort of pre-occupied mackin' on your girlfriend like the world's just ended.
Wait.
Okay you're literally macking on your girlfriend like the world's just ended because the world HAS just ended. Your newfound FRIENDS--the consorts and hulks--seem to be happy for you. It's like your enthusiasm is infectious.
So you can probably be forgiven for not immediately noticing that Cali has arrived. As a matter of fact you are STILL UNAWARE.
It would probably take someone like a god with infinite knowledge to be immediately aware of another presence on your land. [/center] |

==>For as long as you can remember, and you can remember the entire history of the universe, you've always sought out LOVE and INTIMACY, especially PHYSICAL INTIMACY, when you're upset. You just caused the APOCALYPSE and KILLED ALMOST EVERYONE YOU'VE EVER LOVED. You've been jumping around the INCIPISPHERE, ensuring TREASON, DEATH and ALL-AROUND FAILURE ever since. Whenever you can, you've come here. You are currently lying on the ground. Your BOYFRIEND is lying on top of you, and his touch is currently making everything PRETTY OKAY. You're busy slipping your hand under his shirt when it happens. The dark pocket is filled. um, cali's, uh, here [/center] |

==> VC: come to senses
Aw man not RIGHT AWAY.
The truth is you quite enjoy, uh, BEING AROUND Cory. And being on top of her. To her immediate left. Beneath her. Whatever. It's really the proximity that does it for you. You never were big on physical contact and attraction or really any of those things, but HOO BOY your tune is changing. You kind of think Cory needs you right now, anyway.
You are more than glad to administer your EXPERT SERVICES.
Eventually, though, you get up and run a hand through your hair, thinking hard. Cali needs you, too. You're not one to disregard your responsibilities. You get up. [/center] VENN: okay
VENN: where !s she?
VENN: ! should go to her

You sit up leisurely, stretching and flexing and straightening your clothes. Then you point her out, not far away, and wave to her, shyly. [/center] |

==> QW: come to senses
Aw man not RIGHT AWAY.
The world stops spinning and you're lying on your back at the base of a tree. And there are voices. So you blink your eyes a few good times to try and make them focus. It does a little bit of good. You manage to sit up at the very least although that sets the world aspinnin' again for a moment.
Then you realize where the voices came from. You even recognize one of them. You blink yet again, this time in a momentary pause of disbelief and then wave hesitantly back at Cory. [/center] CALI: Uh
CALI: Hi
CALI: Cory
CALI: And
CALI: Uh
CALI: Venn.
Oh god oh god oh god! [/center] |

You SEE your friend. [/center] ==> VC: RUN AT HER
You DO. [/center] ==> VC: PREPARE ARMS
YOUR ARMS ARE PREPARED. [/center] ==> VC: ENGAGE GLEE
Your glee makes 9000 look like a DISTANT ITEM OF THE PAST. [/center] ==> VC: HUG IT OUT, BITCH
You HUG HER WHILE TACKLING SO YOU JUST KIND OF CASCADE INTO A ROLLING BALL OF HUGLIMBS. Your hugs are like a FORCE OF NATURE. Your hugs are like an ACT OF GOD.
In fact, given your relations, they may very well be, at that. [/center] VENN: CAL!
VENN: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
VENN: OH MY CORY
VENN: ! CAN'T BEL!EVE YOU'RE HERE
VENN: AAAAAAAAAA BEST FR!END !N THE WORLD !'M GONNA HUG YOU FOREVER
VENN: AND THEN WHEN FOREVER'S OVER
VENN: !'M GONNA K!CK FOREVER !N THE NUTS AND HUG YOU SOME MORE
VENN: ! CAN'T BEL!EVE YOU'RE HERE!
==> VC: BE ANGRY
IMPOSSIBLE.
You were so worried about her and Ross! Now your friend is here.
Now everything's going to be okay. [/center] |

==> QW: Breathe
YOU WOULD IF YOU WEREN'T BEING CRUSHED AND YOUR HEAD WAS ABOUT TO POP OFF EVERYTHING'S SPINNING AGAIN
You manage to take a breath. A long and deep one. You had expected your first meeting with Venn to involve a crushing hug, but in light of recent events said expectations were a little low. But it seems very little can dent Venn's impenetrable wall of friendlovehuginess. You can't help but smile, which feels somewhat foreign.
And this world is sunny, which really helps bolster your spirits. [/center] CALI: Er
CALI: I know forever personally
CALI: Being the Seer of Time
CALI: And
CALI: I don't think he'd appreciate being kicked!
CALI: Glad to see you, too, Cory.

==> QW: Explain
You would, if you knew exactly how it had happened. Best get the facts out there and let SUPER PUZZLE SOLVER VENN DIEGRAM have a go. Also Cory's input might help. [/center] CALI: I was at Ross's
CALI: Which
CALI: You may have heard
CALI: You did I mean I told you
CALI: But
CALI: After all was said and done
CALI: I was talking to Reni
CALI: And she did that really annoying thing she does
CALI: So I left and needed to vent some
CALI: Uh
CALI: Frustration
CALI: And when I attacked the hulk
CALI: Because my web isn't as effective anymore
CALI: Everything was everywhere
CALI: And I was here.
CALI: So
CALI: That's the best explanation I have.

This is keeping everyone's mind off of you and Ross. That's nice. You get to be friends with Venn for a little while before he kills you. [/center] CALI: What was it, though?
CALI: Where did Ross's sprite go to get that dangerous thing?
