>Enter Name.

Your name is GABRIEL EINSTEIN. You normally try to be COOL AS A CUCUMBER but you sometimes (which is most times) get way too hyped (like today). You and your friends have just gotten a hold of the GAME OF THE YEAR, and you want to play now! You're INTERESTS are varied. You enjoy SEVERAL types of games ranging from computer to classic pen and paper. You also carry interest in THE ANIMES but not as rabidly as some others you know.

>Examine Room.
Your new room seems to be in order, your ANIME PARAPHERNALIA is scattered about as to not draw unwanted stares. Your SATCHEL is sitting on your computer chair. There are also a couple of LABELED BOXES to sort through, but that can wait.

What shall you do?

>Gabriel: Look at ANIME PARAPHERNALIA
Well, there's only a handful of it out (model kits and wall scrolls) the rest is in the boxes. But other than that there's no more to say on the matter.

>Gabriel: Open and examine closet

You resist a strong urge to get down with your bad self and move on over to your closet. Everything seems to be in order; jackets, button ups, long sleeves, shirts, pants. Yep, it's all good. There also seems to be another box under all the clothing. You go in for a closer look.

=====>

It's just a small box containing all the games you can't find the case for also...your ocarina! You have not seen this for a long while.

>Gabriel: Play a somber tune on an instrument located in one of the boxes

You proceed to play the ocarina but with it's size it only produces incredibly high notes that get a bit annoying after a while. Oh well, that killed a bit of time. What now?

>Gabriel: Look out window.

The weather is looking mighty bad today, luckily you have a surge protector so your electronics will not be heavily affected in case of a electrical surge. But this may impact someone you knows ability to play.

>Gabriel: Check who's online.
You power on your computer and the first thing that catches your eye is the SBURB icon sitting on your desktop, oh how it teases. You check who's on and there seems to be a few chums online.

That doesn't seem efficient. Besides you already allocated your strife specibus ages ago, with the very efficient branchkind.

>Gabriel: Rummage through your SATCHEL while you wait.

Minerva seems to be taking a while to connect you might as well take time to sort through your SATCHEL. You have got a COUPLE OF DICE, SOME ROLEPLAYING BOOKS, and a bottle of LUKEWARM FAYGO. Tasty.

Still no response from US' side. You might as well see who else is online, to inform them that the game is afoot.

You might as well do a bit of unpacking, while you wait, and unpacking needs some serious 80's music. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

>Gabriel:In the meantime, read some labels on the boxes.

Let's see BOOKS, GAMES/CONSOLES/DVD's, MORE BOOKS/TABLETOP STUFF, ANIME RELATED THINGS/CLOTHES. Yeah, it's all there. All your worldly possessions.

>Gabriel: Unpack Clothes
It's already neatly arranged just a matter of putting them in their respective drawers. After a couple of minutes you're done. You set aside your GYM SHORTS because you haven't taken a shower today and you doubt you're going anywhere once the game starts. Off you go.

>Gabriel: Wake Up

You jolt awake, instinctively covering your face to recoil from pain. No pain, then again that's the least strange thing going on here. This looks like your old room but everything is just a bit off, as in Jack Torrance off, there seems to be scrawling all over the wall and everything has the same shade of green, this is making you uncomfortable.

=====>

You see there's a window leading off to some infinitesimal darkness. You decide to see what's going on outside. There is a violet city far below you, you get a bit woozy from the height so you stop looking down and instead look up at the Stygian sky. As you look you swear you can hear someone talking to you, and as time goes by it seems more things are trying to commune with you. You try to make sense of what's being said to you but it's all coming in as a jumble and is starting to wrack your head. You think it's best to ignore these voices which turns out to be easier than you expected.

=====>

You're not going to find any answers up here and you aren't going to be staring off into space like that for a while. Maybe someone down there knows what's up. You start to float out your window and start making your way down. This floating business would be surprising but it seems natural to you. There seem to be other towers around like the one you've come out of. It wouldn't hurt to make a quick stop.

=====>

These rooms seem to reflect other peoples rooms in real life albeit with a different color palette at least that's how you figure it. After what you presume were Demetri and Raphael's towers, you find yourself in Felicia's tower, you're pretty sure it's her tower, it has the same color she uses for everything. There's a TV here with just about every film watching accessory you can think of. She seems to be asleep, you'd say she looks kind of cute but knowing her attitude your opinion is different. You're getting pretty tired from all this floating around and decide you'll go back to your tower and save exploring for later. You lay down on your bed and close your eyes, you fall asleep pretty quick.

>Gabriel: Tell others to get in the game.

You proceed to tell everyone to get in the game as to avoid fiery doom, all the while this deer is barking in your ear like a seal off it's meds. As you make the transition from your living room to your room you take a seat at your computer and tell Eli you're going to be his server.

>Gabriel: Get Eli in the game

You finish chatting with him and get the server client running, the game is loading at a good enough pace, it gives you time to check on someone else, someone who you are pretty sure is fretting over this fiasco.

Show Pesterlog:

Sure hope she doesn't hurt herself with her new found vigor.

>Gabriel: Look through that other box.

It is a lot smaller compared to that other crate sitting in your living room. You pull it out of your satchel and open up the box. It's not what you were expecting that's for sure, there's a small photo of your grandpa from when he was a firefighter, he's standing there with full gear, this is neat sure but you never knew the man he was dead long before you were born. Also packaged with it is a axekind and shotgunkind strife card. That shotgunkind card has to have been your dad's and given the picture the axekind card must be your gramps. You allocate them to your strife deck. The deer continues it's insistent whines while you put away the picture of your grandpa and sit back at your computer, the game seems to be ready.

(For the romp that is Gabriel manipulating Eli's surroundings proceed to PC =====> SN if not you can stay on this page until it updates eventually and be wholly confused.)

>Gabriel: Investigate

As you go to open the door you take out your PINE DRUBBER just in case. As you make your way out you can hear what seems to be the rustling of leaves coming from just beyond your front gate. You go to see what the commotion is.

=====>

That's creepy. There seem to be small pitch black deer grazing out on your lawn. They don't seem to take notice to your presence. You take a step forward to confront them but as soon as you raise your foot, the group turns to look at you in unison. That's terrifying.

=====>

You begin to back up slowly but as you take a few steps back you feel your legs get swept from under you and you hit the ground. Hard. You get a mild concussion from this or at least that's what you figure from your vision going white for a split second. You get up as you see another of those weird deer-headed things. This one seems pretty angry. Looks like it's time for you to defend your homestead.

>Gabriel: Strife.

Though your recent blows to the head seem to be catching up with you, you attempt a swing at the weird creature but it just hops back and prepares another attack. This shouldn't be too hard to dodge, you take a couple of steps back to get ready to jump out of the way. Just as expected it begins it's charge and you quickly jump to the side, however it's picking up speed quicker then you expected and it's antler crashes into your leg mid jump and you start to spin forward making your head collide with a post. This fight isn't going your way at all. You see the deer creature preparing another charge. This might not end well.

>Gabriel: You don't have time for this.

Even if most of your body is in immense pain at the moment you sure aren't going to be taken out lying down. A lot of your friends are in danger and a deer with anger issues isn't going to stop you now. The deer is charging, you have one ace up your sleeve. The most dangerous of branches. The pointy kind. It's within ten feet of you now. This is your opportunity for attack, you bust out your ELM PIKE and brace yourself, and as suspected the creature has no time to brake or turn and crashes head first into the sharpened stick. It seems to burst like a balloon but instead of it's viscera lying about it leaves behind fruit gushers in it's wake. Best. Piñata. Ever.

>Gabriel: Level up!
That terrible display of ability still earned your way up a rung on your ECHELADDER. You rise to the rank of Nature's Punching Bag, truly a glorious title. This rung provides you with a cool bit of BOONDOLLARS which go right into your CERAMIC PORKHOLLOW, and your Grist Cache has also been expanded.

=====>
You gather up the build grist and a bit of green grist that you have no idea what is used for. You go back to your living room and notice the large crate that your dad sent. You should sort the stuff in here now that you got some time. You switch your MESSENGER to LOCAL and captchalogue it and have it sent to your room. You go to your fridge to grab an ice-pack and then you walk back to your room.

>Gabriel: Sift through crate

While looking through the crate you see a bit of memorabilia from shows you and your dad liked. It cracks a smile on your face but you keep looking through the case and you come across two boxes. One is a large case, this was your dad's, the other is unfamiliar it's a dusty old looking thing that is taped all over as to not pour it's contents out all over the place. You open up your dad's WEAPON CASE, there it is his old 12 GAUGE he had that thing ever since he had a scuffle back in '89 that he never divulged too much information about. You put it into your strife deck without dwelling too much on it or else you'll just tear up. You move on to the crude box and get too removing the layers of tape. You see what seems to be just clothes, you pull out the jacket on top which turns out to be a lot heavier than you thought it would be, upon further examination this seems to be a black fireman's jacket and in the box seems to be matching pants and boots. These have to be your grandpa's, at the bottom of the box is a FIREMAN'S AX which you proceed to put in the strife deck. The bunker gear seems a lot tougher than your gym short/t-shirt combo. So you ease out of the shorts and put on the fireman's attire. It fit's pretty snugly but this stuff feels even heavier once it's actually being worn. You get back to your computer and see Eli is doing pretty good for himself. Oh hey you're getting pestered by Minerva.

>Gabriel: Answer
Show Pesterlog:

You catch your face turning a bit red, "Platonic kiss?" "Rest easy dear?" Who says that? I mean she has her Victorian shtick but still...girls are too hard to understand. You put your ice-pack to your head and try to just get over what happened but as your mulling these thoughts over and as you check out some things on the SBURB interface you get pestered by someone else, this time someone unfamiliar to you.

Show Pesterlog:

That went nowhere, however your head does seem to be doing better. You see your deersprite from across the room he seems to be intently watching you while doing his weird barks. This has really got to stop. You take out your grandfather's picture and slowly approach the phantasm. Well let's see how this goes.

>Gabriel: Prototype Deersprite
The deer stays put while you reach out with the picture it starts to approach you as well it stretches out it's head as if it were expecting feed, but once it makes contact with the picture a blast of light fills the room.

>Contemplate all that info.
So this is all just a big game of Good versus Evil, sounds simple enough. Now you need to build upwards, to do this you need Min, but you'll also need grist and quite a bit of it so you're going to have to hunt some more of those imp deer. Alright, you'll gather as much grist as possible and then you'll bother Min once she has gotten into The Medium to build up your house. Sounds like a plan.

>Start on your grist farming.
You tell your grandpa that you're going out for a bit and he just nods and floats off somewhere into your house. You pull out your DAD'S 12 GAUGE and pocket your phone just in case Elliott or someone else needs help. One of the deer looks at you then at your weapon and starts backing off. You murmur that you're sorry but you need the grist and pull the trigger. The buckshot makes quick work of the deer as it bursts into a good amount of grist.

>Get pestered by Raph
Show Pesterlog:
Well now that Min's in the game you make a mental note to give her a message about what's gotta be done. Not right now though, she has those pesky meteors to deal with.

>Continue your grist harvest.
Sounds good. You figure you'll start with the imps that are on your lawn then you'll move onto your backyard and see if any have snuck into your house. Seems methodical enough. When you open the gate of your house you see there is far less than there was earlier. They probably ran from the sound of your gun. Hopefully that and not a highly organized and stealthy attempt on your life, though that would be kind of cool. Suddenly your phone rings alarming you of someone on pesterchum, though you're not familiar with this name.
Show Pesterlog:
After a few minutes of looking for those creatures, your phone rings again. You look around to make sure you're not about to be jumped and then answer.
Show Pesterlog:
Well that was one of the strangest conversations you've had in a while

You see a couple of deer and make quick work of them. You're just about done with the lawn so you figure you'll head on to your backyard. Your phone rings. It's Elliott, hopefully he's doing well with the game.
Show Pesterlog:
====>
As you're turning the corner of your house you can hear constant bleating, seems they've been grazing back here. But you also catch the scent of something, it smells like someone's barbecuing? Are those deer messing with your step-dad's grill? Oh, there's Elliott again.
Show Pesterlog:

====>

You find the source of the smell, it's your grandpa and he seems he's having a cookout. Why not? You can see that a couple of deer are trying to sneak up on him while he attends the grill, just as one is about to hit him your grandpa pulls out a spectral axe and slays it but he doesn't stop at just the one and takes out all his would be attackers in a few seconds and goes back to working the grill. Whoa, your grandpa is awesome.

====>

You stand there in wonder as your phone alerts you of another chum, Elliott again. Let's see what he needs.
Show Pesterlog:

====>
From what your gramps said once another prototyping happens it'll influence the game in some way once Elliott is in the Medium, you're not really looking forward to chicken beasts running around but it'll add some variety you figure. Just as you ponder the possibility of chicken-deer you get another pesterchum alert. Another stranger? This is kind of getting ridiculous.

Show Pesterlog:

Well that does it. No more talking to strangers. Though that bit of insanity did remind you...

>Leave a message for Minerva

Show Pesterlog:

That should do it. Alright it's time to continue the hunt.

You've been doing this for a while now...

Yeah...but on the bright side you hit a new rung on your ECHELADDER from all this grinding. So that's neat you guess. You do begin to wonder how everyone's doing, you haven't gotten a status update in quite a bit. Maybe you should compulsively check your phone again. No one as expected. Man these folks got to get in quick so you can stop being as anxious as a chihuahua. Well back to...

Dear god what is that!?
It's like the other imps but as if it was made with a Lovecraftian Lego set. It's head is low to the ground and it has an uninviting grin that takes up it's whole face with rows of sharp teeth and a pronounced carapace.

Get ready to fight this abomination.
Alright. You attempt to shoot it. *BANG* The shot seems to have served in pissing it off. Awesome.

Get attacked for your trouble.
The thing starts moving at you with the grace of a retarded lemur. Seems having your head burrowing through part of the ground doesn't provide much in practical movement. It begins to open it's gaping maw to try to take a bite out of you. Unfortunately...*BANG* It makes one heck of a weak spot.

====>
Well it seems someone's gotten into the game. Probably Demetri, he's the only one you know with an affinity for creepy stuff like that. Seems like this game's going to get a bit more complicated. You figure it'll be a good time to check in on others back on your main computer.

Seems he's just run back to his computer.

You set your sights on the horrid creature outside Elliott's room. Furniture at the ready. Boom! Direct hit! Man that couch is getting some distance. Wow it's going really far. It's going into the balcony. Oh no.

You see Elliott just standing there for a while. Geez the kid's heartbroken.

Show Pesterlog:

Maybe something not so depressing?

Seems like someone is trying to get in contact with you. Hey it's...

Show Pesterlog:

You never really thought about meeting the rest of the gang. That thought is getting you a bit excited. Maybe you can meet them in that weird dream world? Maybe you can apologize in person to Elliott, you know if he doesn't push you off his balcony for some strange karmic retribution. You can see everyone. But you got to be tough and play the game. You check your ammo supply and it seems to be dwindling, seems like you'll have to resort to the axe for now. You look at your screen and it seems to be raining on Elliott's end. Bummer. He looks to be walking back inside.

Gabriel: Proceed to your roof
Yeah, that seems like it would be a good idea. You can keep in contact with Elliott with your phone in case any thing bad turns up on his end. You make sure your phone has a decent amount of charge and store it. You figure the easiest way to get to your roof is through the backyard.

====>

Well there seems to be more imps walking around, none of them a pretty sight. They're all tough looking carapaces with sharp teeth. It's probably best to avoid confronting so many. You keep as quiet as possible while you start climbing on to the roof.

====>
Your roof is really flat, not too big of a surprise but you've never really felt the need to come up here before. You get a better view of your surroundings, The sky is black and thick with smoke and where your neighbor's houses used to be seems pretty thick with vegetation and your front lawn seems like a bunch of leaves with a steep drop at the end of the driveway. At the end of your driveway you see your grandpa and he seems to be...fishing? Huh. Well there isn't much to do but wait on Minerva or Elliott.

Get pestered by Minnie
Show Pesterlog:
Gabriel: Think about stuff while waiting.
Now that you're staying still you're noticing little things around you. Like how the air is getting difficult to breathe. You mark that up to your elevation and that dense black smoke. Those gates above you are pretty neat in their design. You can't help but wonder where they go. You hear a lot of rustling coming from where your neighbor's home used to be. Strange. You look to where your grandpa is but see that he is no longer there. Oh well. That rustling is just getting louder. This might need looking into against your better judgement.

Gabriel: Investigate noise.
As you look off to the side you see several pieces of foliage being ripped through as a hand reaches through and grabs the ground of your backyard. That hand alone is about half your size. You backpedal and try to get ready to the best of your ability. Another hand appears as whatever is climbing is getting a stable grip onto land. In a few moments the huge creature has made landfall. It looks similar to those smaller imps but this ones got large tusks and has a large pair of antlers sharpened at the points. He makes eye contact with you and doesn't seem all too pleased at the sight. He moves much quicker than you thought already proceeding to climb on to the roof. You take a shot at the creature but your was a bit off and you graze it's shoulder. You take a few steps back and pull out your ax. You'll try to strike him in the wound you just gave him. The ogre has his upper body on the roof. You move in quick and strike. It seems to recoil from the hit. It was a clean hit, you take this advantage and hack at it once more. This higher ground is clearly giving you an advantage. But your focus on this creature left you blind to the second ogre that is charging you, you try to avoid it but it's far too late and you get launched high into the air. As you are about to land the ogre you'd been wailing on slams you into the ground with it's good arm. You swear you felt something crack. You're not given much respite and are grabbed by the second one and tossed high into the air again. From this height your landing will probably be fatal.

====>

This sucks. As you're falling you feel something rush by you as you finally land. Much sooner than you expected. You start patting yourself, you're also more alive than you expected to be. You see your grandpa is shooting a beam of light that is making some sort of platform keeping you safe. It has a strange design, almost like a...pontoon boat? He begins lowering you and you catch the wounded ogre off guard as you strike him from above making burst like a water balloon filled with grist. The other ogre is quick to strike but you see the ghostly boat smash into it coloring the ground with it's bounty. This game isn't pulling any punches. You'll have to be a lot more careful if the game pulls out moves like those guys. You wince in pain as you feel a warm spot on your chest. You lift your shirt but it gives a bit of resistance and it's sticky. You're bleeding. It must have been from the first charge that you tried to avoid. It hurts. Amongst the grist you see something different.It's some sort of glowing jelly cube, What is that?

Upon picking it up you feel a lot better. Your wound seems to be gone, though your shirt is still sticky with blood. You'd go and change it but you don't want to waste too much time, and who knows if more of those things will show up, don't want to be caught in a small space. Jeez you hope Min can get this building done.

>Gabriel: Make sure you're ready.

This thing looks pretty fancy, gotta give credit there. But before you start climbing you call over your grandpa. He asks what is the matter and you tell him he needs to bring your computer up here, because there is not telling where this thing goes and you aren't gonna leave your buddy out in the cold. He nods and goes to your room, he arrives shortly thereafter bringing your computer...and everything attached to it. You don't think too much on that as you set your Courier Fetch Modus. You set it to arrive at Elliott's. Hopefully it can find it's way there and not disappear into the aether.

>Gabriel: Ascend

You take your first step up. You take a look up and realize this might take a while. After what seems a good fifteen minutes of climbing stairs you can see your destination. Not too much farther now. Just a few more steps. Your within arms reach of the gate. You hesitate just a bit. You wonder what consequence this might have. It might not be too late to turn back and just proceed as normal. But...it can't be all bad? Right? I mean a game would stop you if you were gonna do something dumb. Yeah...sure. Well time to stop pussyfooting around. Let's see how the dice roll.


>Gabriel: Where you at?
It seems like a library of some kind. It has some of the same machines. The Alchemiter and The Cruxtruder if all this meaningless jargon is being remembered right. This is a pretty old looking place, kind of ritzy too. You scan the shelves. Lots of older looking books, some medical texts. Whoever lives here is pretty studious if they've gone through these things. There's a door at the end of all slightly ajar, you take out your ax, can't be too cautious. You make your way down the halls, it's pretty dark in here save the occasional light coming from outside. After a bit of walking around you arrive at a closed door with a red light coming from under the door. It sounds like someone's crying in there. Hmm. Common sense would dictate to not open the door. So you just keep walking. You arrive at a large window showing the outside. Large mushrooms with blinding colors. Could be worse you guess.

>Gabriel: Keep snooping around.
"Walking around at an average speed, got places to go but not in a hurry." You hum to the tune of City Escape. You really can't puzzle out what you're doing in this place. It seems familiar in a way, but right now you're being too cautious to figure it out. After walking around you can hear the faint sound of an engine running. You decide to approach this. As you arrive in front of the door that's containing the noise. You crack it open slightly to get a view of the inside. The source of the noise is revealed to be some weird steam engine looking thing. But you see someone sitting in a chair looking at a screen in front of them. All of a sudden it hits you where you have arrived.

Wow, this place again? Alright. You can deal with that. It does give you a break from your fever induced self hatred. It feels like it's been months since you were last here. You see the city below you. Ripe for exploring you bet. You start to float down to the streets.

====>
You land in a crowded street, the people looking at you. Oh god! They aren't normal people but weird black humanoids...with exoskeletons? They do look carapace-y and they have silly round heads. They're giving you some hard stares. Maybe the city wasn't too hot of an idea? They don't seem hostile, a bit surprised sure, but not hostile.

====>
You walk around the streets, the architecture looks like a mishmash of Earth's different cultures. Greco-Roman and European from what you see. It's cool in design. Could use a splash of color, or you know, a color outside of violet. What is this place?

====>
You see one of these creatures that stands out compared to the others. He's huge, probably seven or eight feet tall and two or three feet wide. He looks at you like he's found something he gives a mean stare before he goes on his way. Strange.

====>
Gotta find out where we are. So if you can find someone to help on that front...you see a short looking bug-man staring back at you. You ask him if he can lead you to any official building. City Hall, Police Station, Mayor's Office. Something like that. The thing nods and starts scurrying down the streets. You follow, this being your only real lead.

====>
After a few twists and turns you're at the steps of a large building. The little guy seems to have gone off somewhere. You walk inside and see some bugmen with heads that end in points and others of intimidating size. They seem to have handcuffs and batons. Policemen. Alright. You ask them where you are and one of the pointy headed fellas walks up to you. Yes now we are getting somewhere. The click of metal is heard as he has handcuffed you. Well then.

Gabriel: Abscond.
Yeah. This ain't gonna end well. You turn around and start with a dash, knocking a bug-cop down with your shoulder. Oh man this is not good, running from the police doesn't end well no matter where you are. The only safe spot you know is your "room". After you gain a bit of distance you start your ascent towards the spire.

====>
You arrive at your window, you look down to see a good crowd running to the base of the structure. If there's an entrance down there it will only be a matter of time before they get here. You look around for anything that can help, there's a branch sitting in the corner of the room. It's a start.

====>
You see a computer similar to the one you sent Elliott, though it has a weird green tint to it. It powers on fine too. You look through Pesterchum for help, who can help? Felicia? She's online. There might be an off chance she's up and can help you. Go for it.

Gabriel: Pester Felicia.

Show Pesterlog:


Gabriel: Prepare for strife.

Well you don't want to get caught in this open room, they'll swarm you in seconds. You open the door opposite the window of your room and take a peek. It's a thin spiraling staircase. Well this is a better field to play on. You can't be depending on your hands or swings of a branch. There's only one way to solve this. And it isn't that much of a plan really.

Gabriel: Strife

Here they come, you get as far back as you can and start running down the steps. The bug in the lead seems to be ready for an attack and draws his baton. Sorry man, that's not gonna help much. You jump in the air hurling as much of your weight forward. You successfully crashed into him and have him off balance. This leads to the two of you crashing into the guy behind him, and the one behind him, and the one behind him. You get the point. After flailing about wildly on the stairs, you get up in a bit of a daze, some good bruising on yourself from stair collisions. You grab a key off one of the cops and free your hands. Good. Now what?

Gabriel: Keep looking around.

Staying here probably isn't good for your health, dreaming or otherwise.
You start floating around aimlessly making sure to duck behind roofs as to not draw attention. From what you've observed you're on a satellite chained to a bigger mass that is very similar to the one you're floating around on. Neat. You are getting a bit tired of just floating around aimlessly. You start slowly making your way up the chain. Maybe something will come to fruition there.

====>

This place is a lot more hustling and bustling compared to it's moon-like counterpart. It's reminiscent of a busy metropolitan area. You still stick out like a sore thumb, being human and all. The people at least aren't looking to kick your head in like the other folks. You continue your urban exploration, coming across what looks like a bunch of troops marching, but after they reach a certain point the forces just disappear. Weird. You try to remain hidden while investigating further. They seem to be walking onto a large platform and just zapping out of existence. Their number is slowly decreasing so you'll wait for them to be gone before you investigating.

====>
Surprisingly, watching a forced march for an undetermined amount of minutes isn't exciting. The coast looks clear, you make a quick scan of the area just to make sure you're clear and then walk on to the platform. At first it seems like nothing's happening but then your immediate surroundings blur and you are now standing in a completely new location. The sky looks like an actual sky, and the ground has a checkered pattern with some hills off in the distance. It's a neat looking place that's for sure, but it seems the bugs aren't quite happy with your arrival as you are now surrounded on all sides by spears.

====>
Looks like these guys are gonna try to take you captive (twice in one day, Gabriel Einstein, setting records no one wants to) if not kill you outright. You put your hands up and hope they take mercy. You feel someone hit you in the back of the head right in nature's snooze button.

Gabriel: Get out of hiatus
After a brief flash of light you seem to be in a patch of colorful fungi. A brief look around tells you that you're in some kind of natural tunnel, the mushrooms providing a good light source. You do a 360 making sure no one else but you is here. Coast seems clear. Alright time to get going.

=====>
As you make your way through the cave you take out your phone just to pass time. Weird, seems you are connected to a wireless signal. You figure this might need looking into so you quickly navigate the menus and find that it's connected to your modem, like the one in your house. You decide to take this chance to see if there's anything more about this game. You search for a while bearing no fruit. It soon dawns on you that you've been navigating this place and no exits have sprung up and as fun as being a grouchy old dude trapped in a cave for years sounds...

Gabriel: Find a way out.
You recall the time that your step-sister trapped you in an old storm drain and figure this cave can't be too different. You'll just do what you did then and look for any signs of wind, the tunnel air doesn't feel stagnant so there has to be air flow. You reach into your bag and pull out the LUKEWARM FAYGO. You make a small hole so that when you squeeze the bottle a small, steady amount will spray out and hopefully go in any direction other than straight up. With this AMATEUR WIND CHECKER you're sure to get out. Luckily it seems you got something and start making your way out.

Gabriel: Reach the exit

As you reach the exit, the first thing you can see is a rainbow of glowing mushrooms. But before you take a step out you notice something, or a lack of something in this case. There's no ground to step on outside just a big drop. The mushrooms cut off at a point and it just becomes pitch black. You pass your hand on one of the nearby walls, too smooth under these mushrooms to climb. You try holding one of the mushrooms and seems to be firmly rooted in the wall.

Gabriel: Climb
This can probably counted as one of the most terrifying things you've ever done. Luckily these mushrooms are holding up quite nicely.
After a couple minutes of climbing you can see the top. Which would be great news if a deer didn't just peek it's head out from the top. You figure that it won't be too tough handling those little imp things...if it was just a normal little imp thing. The creature puts its hand over the side, kind of like a lizard.

Show Dialoglog:

As if it heard your wishes and wanted to take a steamy dump all over them it started crawling on the walls towards you at breakneck speed. This thing didn't have the same general look of the imps, it walked on all fours and had a much longer body and had a strange snake like tongue flopping about.

Gabriel: Strife
Feeling as though you're in one of those action games, you take an idea from the Book of War and wait for him to get close. It's using the mushrooms for grip same as you, but it's going far too fast to make any sudden changes in direction. You take your chance and swing to the side, the creature moving too quickly is now just below you.

Show Dialoglog:

You let go of your grip so you drop onto the lizard and quickly equip your axe, you deliver a swift blow to the creatures noggin and it explodes into a shower of Cobalt, Amber and other things but who cares you're now falling to your possible death. You grab onto the mushrooms but your new found terminal velocity starts ripping the poor fungi out of the walls. You desperately keep grabbing at them, seeing the cut off point of the mushrooms already. Finally you get a grip and this time the roots hold. That was too close for comfort. This endeavor has taught you that you are not the best at on the spot ideas. After a bit of climbing you're back at the cave entrance. Great.

=====>
You decide you're just gonna rest for a bit. All this free climbing has worn you out. Not sleep though, you've done enough of that today. Yep, not going to sleep. Not at all.

Gabriel: Wake Up

You find yourself in a familiar pair of purple pajamas now with a handcuff accessory. You see that the room you're in is also purple. There's an opening in the wall accompanied with some quaint bars. There's also a nice metal door firmly placed across the room. This is a jail cell. You're in jail.

Gabriel: Look out window.

You look outside and see the purple city several stories down. Off in the distance are a two identical towers. They look like the one you woke up in. Could they have other people inside of them? It would require further investigation, but you have an other more immediate problem to deal with.

Gabriel: Examine Room

It's a purple stone room with a metal door that has a food slot and another opening, presumably so the guard can see inside. Theres also a slab with a thin mattress on top. And some kind of pot in the corner. Wonder what that's for.

=====>

You lay down on the mattress because there's really nothing for you to do here. What's up with this weird dream place? Is it another part of the game? Yeah probably. You'll try to bring this up to as many people as possible when you can. You try as hard as you can to sleep and after a while succeed.

Alright enough laying around, you get up and dust yourself off. You prepare to climb again, your arms are getting sore.

====>
Before too long you are at the top. And you see something very out of place.

Gabriel: Examine

You see two large stones set up near the edge of the cliff with a bundle of ROCK CLIMBING EQUIPMENT. It consists of an SLCD, a couple of QUICKDRAWS, CARABINERS, and a bundle of all too familiar ROPE.  The stones have a gap so the SLCD can be placed.  But you can easily tell these stones being here aren't natural seeing as there isn't any other rocks in sight. Only one person you know could have put this here. Seems all that running away was for naught.

====>
After a bit of time you've set up a way to climb to and from the cave, which will be handy later on. You started remembering some bad times when handling the rope but that's neither here nor there. You look around and see fungi of all shapes and size but no real landmarks stick out so you decide you'll rest your arms before going on, you scrounge around your bag and bust out your trusty ocarina and begin playing a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
