QW: LELA!
QW: Venn and Alex tell me you're in the Medium!
QW: I can't wait to see what it's like in there!
QW: Just need to get Venn in and then it'll be my turn!
QW: Alex was scarce on the details though.
QW: Like he usually is.
QW: Lots of swords and stuff.
QW: Nothing interesting.
QW: Also since you've successfully gotten Alex in.
QW: And Venn, who got you in, is currently occupied getting in.
QW: Do you have any tips on this process?
QW: Like things I should be doing to help Venn out?
QW: Because this is all so crazy!

[lelia]

UA: yep im in the medium!
UA: its not really what i expected it to be, thats for sure.
UA: im glad you and venn are helping each other out!
UA: how far are you in the game?
UA: if you just started you need to put stuff in his room and prototype a lot of things.
UA: than a meteor probably hits your/his house.
UA: which sucks.
UA: but than you magically get tranzportalazied from meteorhell to your medium.
UA: so itsall good.

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: Okay last I did was place all the free stuff in his house.
QW: Though I could've probably put them closer together.
QW: But you know how it is: vague OCD toward things being neat and symmetrical.
QW: All gamers have it!
QW: Do I need to prototype or does he and what should I use?
QW: Alex said that part's kind of important.
QW: Something about Metal Gear and rail guns.
QW: And I've heard a lot about this meteor falling, what's up with that?

[lelia]

UA: ok thats good.
UA: you prototype it. but he has to go and start it.
UA: so it basically goes deploy shit to messing with the cruxtruder.
UA: once he messes with the cruxtruder a kernelsprite should pop up.
UA: than you prototype that thing.
UA: than he has to mess around more to get a cruxite dowel.
UA: then you deploy a prepunched card.
UA: then he messes around alchemiter and card. when putting the dowel on the totem lathe and doing some stuff.
UA: once that stuffs done it spits out a totem that he puts on the alchemey thing. and he gets a thing and does stuff with it.
UA: than boom meteor.
UA: easy peasy lemon squeezy.

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: See you ended with boom meteor!
QW: That doesn't sound good at all!
QW: I mean yes, easy peasy and all, but references to British commercials aside
QW: I don't really want to be responsible for dropping a meteor and squishing Venn.
QW: But I can assume that matter takes care of itself?
QW: I'm beginning to think since everyone is being so vague about it
QW: That the meteors are basically just plot devices there to add tension.
QW: Which is cool, it certainly works!

[lelia]

UA: hmm.
UA: i suppose they are.
UA: but it may just not be meteors.
UA: in alex and my case it was. but people could get a little suspicious of meteors dropping and blowing up all of our shit.
UA: meteors or not.
UA: the explosion triggers something to allow us to enter the medium.

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: But the trolls were talking about meteors too.
QW: So I think that it's meteors.
QW: I mean you entered the Medium, what was it like for you?
QW: Oh, by the way.
QW: Uh, I've been talking to aliens.
QW: But by the way Alex and Venn talk about them
QW: That isn't something unique or marvelous.
QW: You've probably talked to them yourself.
QW: I'm just the last one on the wagon.
QW: But I mean they're aliens!
QW: Like, we're talking to actual aliens!
QW: How cool is that?

[lelia]

UA: its always night.
UA: and it has fireflies. i havent really explored it yet.
UA: i think the majority of kids have talked to them.
UA: er the aliens.
UA: i suppose it is cool if sort of odd.
UA: which one did you talk to?

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: I just can't wait until I get in!
QW: I wonder what my Medium will look like!
QW: Alex figures it'll have something to do with plants.
QW: I really hope it does!
QW: Oh, yeah, the trolls.
QW: I talked to two of them.
QW: BS, who seems like a great friend! And PP, who was a little . . . well he seemed to try so hard.
QW: You won't believe it if I told you but I had to explain human reproduction to both of them separately!
QW: Oh it wasn't very nice or easy.
QW: I hope they spread the word so the other trolls know, too.
QW: But I did learn a lot about their culture, too!

[lelia]

UA: oh my.
UA: i admire you for being able to do such a thing twice.
UA: mind sharing what you learned?
UA: im afraid that i haven't learned much in my conversations.
UA: just a bit about quadrants.

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: Well I learned a lot of mismatched stuff.
QW: Mostly about the quadrants, actually. I know terms like kismesis, matesprit, moirail and an auspistice and how they relate to the quadrants.
QW: And I think I know what a lusus is.
QW: And I believe they reproduce using buckets, though don't quote me on that one.
QW: It's all sort of a jumble but at least I've come to understand the terms!
QW: All I know is that our . . . reproductive processes seem perturbing to them.
QW: Which makes sense, I guess.
QW: They are aliens after all!

[lelia]

UA: a lusus is sort of like there mum or da i think.
UA: and buckets? im not even going to ask how that would work out.
UA: makes sense they would think that our sort of reproduction is odd.
UA: compared to the buckets.
UA: so have you gotten farther in the game?

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: From what I gather it's like a symbiotic relationship.
QW: The lusus looks after the troll and the troll helps the lusus.
QW: Or something like that.
QW: I really don't know what they would call helping.
QW: Still waiting for Venn to figure things out.
QW: He can be slow sometimes, y'know?
QW: I just want to get this over with so it could be my tuuuuuurn! D:
QW: It looks so fun!
QW: Like the ultimate experience in immersion!

[lelia]

UA: oh that makes sense!
UA: and yeah i know.
UA: but once he gets the ball rolling its all good.
UA: ha ultimate experience in immersion is right.
UA: scary spot on.

[whimsy]

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #666611; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 66DD11; text-align: left;]QW: Immersive!
QW: Maybe that means I should be roleplaying, too!
QW: I mean if we're going to be the main characters in this game, after all!
QW: Whether or not the game has good characters is entirely up to us!
QW: Of course if it's like a crazy real version of The Sims then there really isn't much need for character development.
QW: But tell me you never gave personalities to your Sims when you played that game!
QW: Tell me that!
