==> VC: start game
Your name is VENN DIEGRAM and you've already been thoroughly introduced. Your ROOM, however, is a bit of a MESS, that is to say, IS IN EXACTLY THE STATE IT ALWAYS IS. Papers piled everywhere, research notes scattered, various CRYPTOZOOLOGICAL SAMPLES on counters. Your CRYPTIC CHEST OF MYSTERY, naturally, remains STOCKED WITH VARIOUS EXCITING AND MYSTERIOUS ITEMS. You, however, are busy inserting the SBURB CLIENT DISC into your TRUSTY LAPTOP.
You pester your CHUM who will be integral to this whole process. [/center] -- vociferousCryptid [VC] began pestering quibbledWhimsy [QW] at 4:13--

VC: UGH UGH UGH HURRY
VC: OH MY GOD ! SWEAR ! W!LL GET TH!S SHOW ON THE ROAD AS SOON AS THE D!SCS LOAD

==> QW: Connect with Venn
Your name is CALI CONNER and you're horrible with introductions, so you're going to save that for a later, more convenient time. Right now you're sitting at your HIGH-GRADE GAMING COMPUTER located right there in your bedroom. This baby is able to run crazy high graphics in even the most modern titles! Crysis is your plaything, you can run five copies simultaneously, your computer is that hardcore!
Of course for the game you're installing now you really don't need all that processing power. Your partner in crime, Venn, is running the game on his laptop! It's almost insulting to your machine to have to run something so simple, but this game seems very important! Even aliens are messaging you about it!
Speaking of Venn, as the installation finishes and you connect, there he is! And there's his cluttered room! It seems he . . . well you really can't discern a single thing from his room. It's all so cryptic and mysterious! [/center] QW: Hey I can see you!
QW: This is so cool!
QW: Do something real quick! Wave to the corner of your room, like, over your right shoulder and up toward the ceiling!
QW: I did this with BS, it was so fun! 
QW: Oh, and, uh, what am I supposed to do now?
QW: It looks kind of like The Sims.
QW: Oh look! I can move things around!

==> VC: wave
you DO. you smile a little and wave your hand around before WHIPPING BACK TO YOUR COMPUTER AT THE SPEED OF VENN. there is shit that needs doing. [/center] -- vociferousCryptid [VC] responded to quibbledWhimsy [QW] at 4:16--
VC: MAN TH!S !S SO COOL
VC: well k!nd of less cool on th!s end
VC: s!nce ! don't get to see you
VC: we must rect!fy th!s at some po!nt or another
VC: THE FR!END!NG SHALL NOT BE STOPPED BY S!MPLE MATTERS SUCH AS !MPLACABLE LOG!C
VC: anyway you should have a menu
VC: there are a few !tems you can deploy for free
VC: you can also move my stuff around, so maybe make some room for all the dev!ces!
VC: just please be careful w!th my CRYPTOZOOLOG!CAL SAMPLES, !F YOU PLEASE
VC: they are h!ghly valuable and of a DUB!OUSLY LUCRAT!VE NATURE
VC: but we must make haste ! guess
VC: what w!th the !mpend!ng apocalypse

==> Make some room for all the devices!
It sure was neat watching Venn move around his room, and being on this end of the wave was even more neat! But Venn was right, there was some sort of impending apocalypse, so it was time to make haste! Using the little house cursor you pick up Venn's bed, but the cursor was much more sensitive than you expected and the bed is abruptly thrown through the wall. [/center] QW: Oops!
QW: Sorry!
QW: It's okay, I still have it!
QW: It's on the roof now, for safe keeping!
QW: Sorry again.
QW: Okay, let's see.
QW: There's plenty of room now, so that's a plus.
QW: What should I deploy first? There's so much to choose from and I have no manual here!

==> VC: freak out
you don't. shit happens. it's cool.
you really liked that bed though. in light of the looming armageddon you figure it's not a huge deal. you don't bother checking the meteors to see how close they are. they'll come when they'll come. [/center] -- vociferousCryptid [VC] responded to quibbledWhimsy [QW] at 4:16--

==> QW: Deploy totem lathe
Whatever that is. You quickly scan through the menu offered to you and identify the object labelled TOTEM LATHE. It looks complicated. But you should take some notes, as you'll have to do all this soon! Maybe it would be a good idea to prepare some space ahead of time, before Alex connected to you. But you would worry about that when meteors weren't threatening to squash Venn!
Where the bed used to be was a good place for the TOTEM LATHE! [/center] QW: Okay there you go!
QW: You can figure that thing out, right?
QW: It looks complicated!
QW: I'll go deploy the rest of the free stuff!
==> QW: Deploy the rest of the free stuff!
It's pretty easy to identify which ones are free. You're not sure which ones are important and which ones aren't, but it couldn't hurt to stick them around the house. You were always a practical thinker like that! Venn's room would get crowded if you stuck it all in there, though, so you find some places around the house.
The thing called the CRUXTRUDER fit perfectly in the front porch. The ALCHEMITER was a bit trickier, but you empty several of the appliances from the kitchen to the roof along with the bed and suddenly there's room in the kitchen! [/center] QW: Alright, that was real easy!
QW: I'm totally the best Sburb player. 
QW: Deploying all that stuff just like that, all by myself, like a Sburb Champion!
QW: What else do I need to do now? I can't interact with any of the stuff.
QW: That must be your department, Venn!
QW: Go go Power Rangers!

==> VC: get down to business
you do. you quickly run over to the cruxtruder.

==> QW: Give the deets.
Not that it's overly complicated. Then again Venn's house was pretty big. [/center] QW: Oh!
QW: Sorry! I got so excited.
QW: New game and all!
QW: You know what it's like, right?
QW: Like there's so much here I haven't seen before.
QW: A new interface.
QW: New rules.
QW: New gameplay!
QW: I mean it's lacking a little plot or characters or anything like that.
QW: But that's the type of game it is.
QW: Uh.
QW: Right, the deets!
QW: You got the totem lathe!
QW: The cruxtruder is in your front porch!
QW: Actually I think it might be blocking the front door.
QW: Sorry about that, I'm sure you can use a window!
QW: And the alchemiter is in the kitchen!
QW: And don't worry, the fridge and stuff is on the roof!
QW: Go get 'em, tiger! <3

==> VC: do the stuffyou DO. you SCRAMBLE THROUGH THE MOTIONS that EVERYONE WOULD FIND BORING BY THIS POINT. when you pop open the cruxtruder, to NO ONE'S SURPRISE, a kernelsprite comes out. You prototype it with one of your MISCELLANEOUS CRYPTID FOSSILS. In retrospect that might not have been the sharpest idea you have ever had. disregarding THAT BIT OF TOMFOOLERY, you go through THE OTHER MOTIONS which would ALSO BE TEDIOUS TO DESCRIBE AGAIN. You wind up with a MODEL SNOWGLOBE. You IMMEDIATELY THROW IT AGAINST THE WALL because you DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT. your screen goes dark. [/center] |

==> QW: Freak out!
You do. Everything seemed to be going okay and suddenly everything went black! You do your best to maintain some composure, but you can no longer see your friend and there had been a meteor and encroaching death and this game is so bad you don't want to play anymore but it looks so awesome! [/center] QW: Venn!
QW: VENN?!
QW: VEEEEEENNNNN!
