[IC] Prestuck (Eran and Duthguy)

[Eran]

You stand in your beautifully modeled home, ready to appearify onto the planet chosen for you for IMPORTANT TASK. You are a male CARAPACIAN from the planet PROSPIT and you are currently flying through space in your home. It has been this way for a while, living on your space home. But now you shall be brought to your planet, a place randomly made through terraforming. You are dress in the normal Prospitian style, but with TEN TIMES THE COLOR. You are surrounded by posters and objects belonging to a certain realm of humor. Some call it the dark side of life. Others call them MEMES. You are a master of jokes revelry! What is your name?

Filthy Mimetrash

Silly! Mimes go for less color than you! You are more a clowny trickster than that. Try again.

Wily Neophyte

Yes, you are WILY NEOPHYTE, practitioner of everything HILARIOUS. You tend to spend your time PULLING PRANKS and RANDOMLY MAKING FRIENDS. You are so good at making friends that you have the highest friend count in all of Prospit, maybe even Derse! A smile always graces your face and you never show a negative emotion. Why should you when life is so grand? Of course there is the STALEMATE WAR between Derse and Prospit... But you are here to help it come to a close! Then you can all be friends! Yay~!

Now that we've gotten all happy, perhaps we will be able to get through the next introduction without too much unpleasantness?

---

You sit in a very drab room, no posters or any sign of aesthetic thought. Sure there are a few instruments and music related devices around, but the overall effect is DEPRESSING. You are a female from the planet DERSE, laying on your back on the hard floor. You could move to the bed, but what is the point? You wear the no nonsense outfit all Dersites wear and keep the all black color. No reason to expend effort in changing it. Not much to this you, is there? What is your name?

Frowny McSad-Pants

Now c'mon, that is just kicking a dead horse! Let's be reasonable. Perhaps treating this one nicer will help her disposition?

Torpid Guide

You are TORPID GUIDE, one of the four chosen to end the GREAT WAR. You were given powers that you may use to help your kingdom defeat Prospit and destroy the BATTLEFIELD, therefore ending any ideas of creating a being formally known as the GENESIS FROG. You couldn't care either way. Both your sleeping and waking hours are spent view visions of you all ending. Some before the universe, some with. In any case, what was the point in trying if they were all going to die? You are all dust in the wind. That despair has made wonderfully sad music. Prospitians listen for its sad beauty. Dersites listen for its lack of positive emotion. This has given you a lot of BOON DOLLARS through sales of the music. You suppose it would be helpful in the coming task if you took it seriously...

Okay enough of this, we have two more introductions to get to!

[Duthguy]

You still can't believe that of all the female PROSPITIANS there are you have been chosen for this HONOR. While you follow the latest fashion from the golden planet PROSPIT, you have personalized your colorful outfit with STARS PLACED AT EXACT INTERVALS. While your new planet might be random, you have made sure that everything in your new home is PERFECTLY ORGANIZED. This wasn't too hard since you didn't bring much. On your right wall are SEVERAL CLEANING SUPPLIES, while the left wall is reserved for a few PHOTO'S FROM YOUR HOME PLANET AND IT'S ROYALTY. You freely admit that you can be a bit obsessive about keeping things tidy! Now why don't you introduce yourself?

Anal Mchomesick

Come now, that is no name for a lady!

Mawkish Escort

That is right, you are MAWKISH ESCORT and you believe that the best part about all this is that win or lose the WAR will end, though you don't think Prospit and Derse will ever really see eye to eye. But any kin of PEACE is better than all that messy fighting.

While it's nice to meet you, we can't stay and chat. After all someone else is waiting for his introduction.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

While your room isn't exactly a mess it's certainly CLUSTERED. You have filled it up with just about everything you could steal without being noticed, even though most of it isn't worth much. While your outfit looks the same as that of every other male DERSITE, you have made sure it has plenty of HIDDEN POCKETS. You are currently playing around with the useful stolen item you have with you, your trusty DAGGER. Since you're clearly getting impatient why don't we move on to the introductions.

Looting Felon

Okay no need to threaten me, I was just joking.

Looting Felon actually is your name, and you simply don't like me?

Your name is LOOTING FELON and while you were chosen to keep the Prospitians from reaching SKAIA, you honestly don't see the point. Even if you save the entire universe, you are so DEPRESSIVE AND NEEDY that even other DERSITES ignore you meaning you don't have anyone to COMPLAIN too.

And now that the introductions are done, lets get to the adventure.

[Eran]

Wily was so excited. He was so ready to get this whole trial thing started! He had a plan. He was going to to make friends with the others. Once they got their powers and stood together as friends, the two kingdoms would see the folly of their ways and find a compromise! It was a great friend filled with friendly friends and he had drawn it all out, abiet with simplistic crayon drawings. He should become friends with them as soon as possible! Dashing to Giggletop, Wily turned on the chat client and contacted one of the others randomly. He was cleverClown [CC] on there and when he chatted, it was called 'tiddling'.

[CC] Started Tiddling ____

[CC]- Hey there! 8D I wanted to say hi! I'm Wily Neophyte! Who are you? 8)

[Duthguy]

Looting was certain that he had been selected for a suicide mission. After all unless you had powerful "friends" you didn't last long on Derse and he had no doubt that he was considered way too annoying to have anyone looking out for him, the fact that he had robbed some semi important people didn't help either. Since he had nothing better to do he turned on his Pinchedtop, planning to read some of the Derse propaganda which he only believed about half of. He soon noticed he never bothered to close his chat account and someone was apparently 'abrogating' him. Judging from the cheerfulness it had to be a Prospitian, still he was always in the mood to complain to someone and if this joker was half as naive as his kind was painted as messing with them could also be fun.

[CC] Started Tiddling Thievinggriper [TG]

[CC]- Hey there! 8D I wanted to say hi! I'm Wily Neophyte! Who are you? 8)
[TG]- Ugh are all Prospitians so cheery Wily? That has to get annoying.

[Eran]

He had gotten a Dersite! It was time to make friends! It would be difficult, but he was sure he could do it. After all, he was the friendliest guy ever! His laptop giggled as it should have done as he punched keys in like a tickle!

[CC] Started Tiddling Thievinggriper [TG]

[CC]- Hey there! 8D I wanted to say hi! I'm Wily Neophyte! Who are you? 8)
[TG]- Ugh are all Prospitians so cheery Wily? That has to get annoying.
[CC]- Oh never! XD Besides, it is fun to try to be cheery! Be friendly, throw around a prank or two, its great!
[CC]- Oh, speaking of fun, look at this video! LINK

It was a trolling video on the song Never Gonna Give You Up. An old meme, but a fun one! You had to start with the classics when breaking new people in. Then you work up to your best material bit by bit!

[CC]- By the way, wanna be my server player?

[Duthguy]

The brief conversation they had so far basically seemed to confirm to Looting that all Prospitians were indeed overly cheerful friendly and naive.

[CC] Started Tiddling Thievinggriper [TG]

[CC]- Hey there! 8D I wanted to say hi! I'm Wily Neophyte! Who are you? 8)
[TG]- Ugh are all Prospitians so cheery Wily? That has to get annoying.
[CC]- Oh never! XD Besides, it is fun to try to be cheery! Be friendly, throw around a prank or two, its great!
[CC]- Oh, speaking of fun, look at this video! LINK

He didn't even consider clicking on the link that Wily sent, certain it would be something cartoonish like talking squids constantly hugging one another or something.

[CC]- By the way, wanna be my server player?
[TG]- Ugh that video was just as sickeningly cute as I would expect from a Prospitian.
[TG] But yeah I'll be your server player, easy way to make things as inconveniently as possible for you. By the way yo do know that if you win, you'll basically be killing everyone you know except maybe the four of us right?

[Eran]

He didn't expect the Dersite to be friends with him that easily and he wasn't giving up yet! He had to learn more and see what he liked. Show he could like the same things and become friends through that.

[CC] Started Tiddling Thievinggriper [TG]

[CC]- Hey there! 8D I wanted to say hi! I'm Wily Neophyte! Who are you? 8)
[TG]- Ugh are all Prospitians so cheery Wily? That has to get annoying.
[CC]- Oh never! XD Besides, it is fun to try to be cheery! Be friendly, throw around a prank or two, its great!

At the query, he merely grinned. With a couple higher up friends in the Prospitian royalty, he had access to some info that would help her. He had spent his time thinking of his own plans and he had one... but it was a surprise!

[CC]- Oh don't you worry! You trust ol' Wily and you'll see everyone staying alive! I'm gonna make sure everyone can be friends forever! I'm gonna put in the game to install now!

With that, Wily Neophyte placed it in and started the installation. He would have sat and watched it, but a crash from downstairs drew his attention.

[CC]- Dang! I need to investigate something downstairs. Probably Mr. White Goat up to his usual antics. Just try to figure out to game while I am gone. I think the other Dersite knows a bit if you are stuck! Remember, her chat client is noteSorrowful [NS]!

With that, he got up and scampered his way downstairs to see if the goat really was the source of the crash.

[Duthguy]

Looting couldn't believe it, that white carapaced fool gave away vital information. For a few seconds he seriously considered opening his Abraxas browser and mail it to the Black Queen. But after thinking it over, he decided it could be more useful to discuss things with his "partner" whom he so for knew only as noteSorrowful. Since he wasn't one to waste time, he began installing the server disc before opening his chat client. Ignoring the other Prospitian with the handle tidyingEnchanter, he opened a chatwindow.

[TG] started Abrogating noteSorrowful [NS]

[TG]- My name is Looting Felon the other Derse player. I don't really have time to talk But one of the Prospit players just said something interesting.
[TG]- Apparently their planet royalty has some back up plan to save everyone even if they succeed in dooming our universe.
[TG]- If we can learn more about it, we might be able to use it to only save who we want to.

After he typed all that he closed his chat, and started planning where to place the machines in such a way that they would give his client the most trouble using them.

[Eran]

Torpid Guide had been messing with the composition of a new song by playing her piano, but the beep from her Dersetop had distracted her. Getting up and shuffling to sit in her chair, she read the message from the fellow Dersite and sighed. Sometime it really sucked to be a Seer. Looting was completely wrong. The royalty didn't know about the plan. It was all his own. He had good intentions, but he'd doom them all far worse if he was successful. Why did they even allow someone with the potential of being a Bard to join? She was gonna have to keep a close eye on Wily, that was for sure. Luckily, she had an indispensable tool for her task. The guidebook to the trials. Apparently it was the only copy and was something called a Juju. In any case, it was extremely confusing and showed random information whenever she looked at it. Several perusals had given her a bit of info she had written down and hidden. She didn't trust her fellow heroes to not use the info and screw everything up. She'd control what she gave out.

All in all, her view of what could doom their session could be quite useful. She would have to discover the best course herself though. Perhaps she could convince Wily to help her look at timelines to help? Of course, she'd have to wait until the pin dropped for Looting and that would take a while. Torpid hated seeing doomed futures...

---

Wily had been facing his white goat friend. This goat was special as it was what was known as a First Guardian. As far as he knew, he had been there forever. He tended to change his name to whatever was on his mind. But the battle, involving a short lived joke off, had ended. What was left was a turned over trash can with all the metal cans gone. "Mr Goat, you need to stop thinking you can do whatever you want." His modus had a light groan and a can of snakes popped out. The snakes went all over, bouncing due to their rubber skin. Wily was surprised and began dodging all over to avoid them.

[Duthguy]

At the moment Mawkish didn't have anything to do, after all everything in her house was perfectly organized and she had already made a list of some standard items she wanted to alchemize when the option became available. That said she opened her Startop and using the Echidna Browser and opened the map making tool, while she hadn't needed it yet she had been practicing how to use it. And in case anyone wanted to contact her, she opened her chat account where she was known as tidyingEnchanter [TE].

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Looting was disappointed that it took so long to install the server disc. He had never seen a Prospitian before and was kinda curious, not that he would ever admit it though. Anyway it looked like it was almost done.

[Eran]

What Looting would see was Wily jumping around to avoid the bouncing rubber snakes with a grin on his face. He kinda looked a bit nutty. But, figuring he should end it, Wily pulled off an acrobatic fucking pirouette up the stairs and out of the range of the bouncing snakes. He then scampered to his joke paraphernalia filled room and went to his chat program to talk to Looting.

[CC] Started Tiddling Thievinggriper [TG]

[CC]- Woo! Nothing like playing dodge the can of snakes!
[CC]- So, did you install the disc?

[Duthguy]

Just as the server disc finished installing Wily started to bother Looting again
[CC] Started Tiddling Thievinggriper [TG]

[CC]- Woo! Nothing like playing dodge the can of snakes!
[CC]- So, did you install the disc?
[TG]- Yeah it just finished took long enough BTW.
[TG} I'm gonna drop the fist machine, form what I can see though, your floor is too full for more then two,so after I place these you're gonna have to switch rooms.

Of course that last part wasn't true, Looting had no idea how much space the machines needed. Anyway he lifted Wily's bed and placed it standing up against the wall. In the now empty spot he put down the alchemiter, while he placed the Punch Designix right in the doorway.
______________________________________________________________________________________________

Mawkish was growing bored with drawing fake maps and felt like talking to someone. After checking the names in her chat window, she decided to give talking to noteSorrowful a try since the other were apparently already chatting with each other.

[TE] Started Tiddling noteSorrowful [NS]
[TE] Hey there how are you?
[TE] My name is Mawkish Escort.

[Eran]

Torpid had also cleaning her room and getting more floor space. She'd need it for the game's things. That was when she got the message. She walked over and got back on her chat program.

[TE] Started Tiddling noteSorrowful [NS]
[TG] Hey there how are you?
[TG] My name is Mawkish Escort.
[NS] Hello Mawkish, I am Torpid Guide.
[NS] How can I help you?

[Duthguy]

Mawkish was glad noteSorrowful responded. Talking to a Dersite was bound to be more interesting than her back up plan of reading "Ms Paint's Adventures", as good as this comic was.

[TE] Started Tiddling noteSorrowful [NS]
[TE] Hey there how are you?
[TE] My name is Mawkish Escort.
[NS] Hello Mawkish, I am Torpid Guide.
[NS] How can I help you?
[TE] Well to be honest Torpid, I simply decided to talk to you because I was bored, but we might as well make the best of it.
[TE] So do you want to be my client?

[Eran]

Torpid sighed and shook her head. Again, ignorance was bliss. They had to form a chain. Wily had to be the next server, then his client would he the next server, then that one would be Looting's server. Forming a circular chain that would allow greater freedom to help each other in the trials. It was alluded in the guide that cooperation was important.

[TE] Started Tiddling noteSorrowful [NS]
[TE] Hey there how are you?

[NS] Hello Mawkish, I am Torpid Guide.

[TE] Well to be honest Torpid, I simply decided to talk to you because I was bored, but we might as well make the best of it.
[TE] So do you want to be my client?
[NS] I would, but that isn't the way the trial goes. Wily needs to be the next server.
[NS] I suggest you become his client. Once done, I can become your client and then Looting can be mine. That way all of us will be on an equal setting.

She knew doom was coming. A meteor was heading toward each of their ships. The first trial was to escape and to do that, they needed to work together and appearify on their own planet through the power of their cruxite item.

[NS] Oh, by the way, it would be very beneficial if Wily was your server player. Seeing as you both have key aspects.
[NS] If I give you information on the trials such as that, please don't share it unless I say to.
[NS] I plan to keep us alive and it'll be harder if people go off willy nilly doing what they want.

[Duthguy]

Mawkish was a bit disappointed by Torpid's answer. But she seemed to know what she was talking about, and even if she was wrong what harm was there in humoring her? The biggest problem was that wasn't too fond of Wily's "jokes and even that was a minor annoyance.

[TE] Started Tiddling noteSorrowful [NS]

While Mawkish wanted to ask Wily and just get it over with she also didn't want to be rude and interrupt his chat with Looting. So she decided to wait a bit for now.

[NS] Oh, by the way, it would be very beneficial if Wily was your server player. Seeing as you both have key aspects.
[NS] If I give you information on the trials such as that, please don't share it unless I say to.

[TE] Got it, I will try to contact him as soon as possible.
