Sgrub and FLARPing Shenanigans  (Closed) Charac10

Be QUIIKN ALERNM ==>

You are QUIIKN ALERNM a troll quite tall for your age, which is 6 sweeps. You currently stand in your organized mess of a room. It's fairly large. widthwise, and has a large ceiling for you and your height.

You decide to stop thinking about your height. It's a bit of a touchy subject for you.

You organized your room into corners. Your COSTUME corner, your SLEEPY corner, your ALCHEMY corner, and MISC. In the middle of everything is a staircase leading downwards into the rest of the house.

What are you doing today?==>

Today you plan on playing a game with your FLARP and normal friends. You heard it has some FLARP elements to it so it's right up your alley. You're going to be who you always are at these events, your ancestor Loupin Sazall a great alchemist who was flirty, wordy, and ambitious. You have his notes on alchemy already out in your alchemy corner. His book on how he lived is somewhere around here...

But what's the game called?==>

Oh, that's an easy one, Sgrub.
By the way, you should really get to messaging your friends about starting it up soon.

==> Be LINAVI LACCHA
You are now LINAVI LACCHA. It's rather impolite to ask a proper lady or a mother grub's guardian their age, but you're neither of those things, so 6 sweeps.

The room you're currently in is best described as clean enough. Childlike scribbles of beasts cover the walls, show your various exploits. The thrown-together skeletons of beasts more directly demonstrates said exploits. Waste not, want not. When you were a wriggler, you always told yourself that.

==> Craft a plan for the day

You already have a good idea of how to spend the rest of the day, but for whatever reason, you decide to craft up a new one. You carefully and precisely craft a schedule diligently demonstrating how the rest of your day will go.

Schedule:

Never being one to actually follow a schedule, you carefully crumble it up and throw it outside your window into a pile of similarly crumbled up balls of paper.

You should see if one of your friends wants to FLARP.

==> Don your FLARP attire

You try to access your array fetch-modus, but trying so instead displays an error message.

ERROR: TOF-817:

Well drat. You're decently sure they'll understand and still play with you if you're not properly dressed.

Speaking of FLARPING, it seems that one of your friends has opened up a memo.

You can't don your FLARP attire, but you do don your FLARP persona.

Sgrub and FLARPing Shenanigans  (Closed) Oh
==>Be EKLIAT BODRIG

It does indeed appear that you are now the Bodrig. Your hive is underwater; filled with the classiest, most fanciest intricate architecture you've ever seen in your life. Being a violet blood, you're one of the luckier ones of society- but you figure that since you were born this way you may as well roll with it. You weren't all-too concerned with the hemospectrum as a whole, but had enough common sense not to touch... Ahem, Gutter Bloods.

Examine room ==>

Despite the various cracks in the walls from various cannonball shots from your cannons, the stray pieces of clothing strewn around as you were trying to decide which suit to wear (your FLARP costume laid untouched), and the cracks in the floors from misfired cannon balls- your room isn't as cozy as maybe it once was. It's quite a mess, and that's embarrassing- but you know absolutely nothing about building. Either way, after a room check, it's time to check your grubtop.

Do what they said! ==>

A memo? Well, it's not like she had anything better to do. Well, she did, but not that anything really came to her mind and just start responding to the message already Ekliat.

Ekliat.

Ekliat?

Dialogue:

You've started to realize just how slow your lusus has been speaking of lately. They used to be much more direct, but now they're just beating around the bush. You decide to do a quick response to the memo at hand, before running off to do your custodian's bidding- which is probably just to go around picking up loose cannonballs. That was a more common task than she'd like.

Do what you thought about doing ==>
Respond to Memo:

Right, with that out of the way, it's time to see what cannonballs need to be picked up. After readjusting their hat, Ekliat swam out of the room.

==> Be SEIYYA SITKYN

Sgrub and FLARPing Shenanigans  (Closed) Screen10
(picture thanks to aestheticAvenger)

By the powers that be (who, what, why, and however they be), you are now Seiyya Sitkyn, the younger of the remaining two of your blood.

Which isn't saying much. You're the heir to the Alternian throne, a fuschiablood. A duty which you were both honored and bothered by. You weren't exactly happy with the way things were going, what the current Emperor was doing.

You weren't stupid enough to publicly voice this, though. That'd be a quick one-way trip down the Deathville. Population: Zero living souls, all six feet under. Kind of comes with the territory of being a graveyard.

You had a bit of a tendency to think about death. You're not sure why, but your mind naturally gravitates towards it. Maybe that's why you had such an interest in military history. Speaking of, how many books did you have?

You divert your attention to the massive bookshelf you keep in your respiteblock, among the many you have in your hive. Save for putting books in them, they were rarely touched. Full of military books, though. You didn't really like reading for leisure - save for sending messages to your friends - but you swore you'd read them all eventually. After all, you had the longest natural lifespan of trolls!

Unfortunately, so did your ancestor. A lot of trolls didn't quite know who their ancestors were, and just pointed fingers at some adult troll and said so. You, though, know that you come from the genetic slurry of your ancestor.

A real shame.

==> Focus on the MUSIC WALL

Ah, yes. The music wall. While you never read your military books, even though they were one of your greatest interests, you spent a good chunk of your time playing instruments. In fact, the wall behind literally every instrument ever constructed was a giant music sheet/whiteboard combo. You'd spend a great many hours writing down music and practicing.

They say practice makes perfect, but you always seemed to understand music and instruments. You never played bad, unless you specifically chose to. You could pick up any instrument and play it, and your bottom line would be passable.

You greatly preferred the BASS GUITAR, DRUMS, and YOUR OWN VOCAL CORDS. Occasionally you'd push out music of your own to the public, spliced together from recordings of you playing different instruments.

You are a kind of ONE-MAN ROCK BAND, playing music in the styles of Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Green Day, and Three Days Grace.
Even though you know literally none of them (although there is a band you follow comprised of three olivebloods and a jadeblood called "Green Day", they are of no relation) as they are all bands from another planet, and possibly timeline.

You're about to pick up a kalimba when you hear a sudden, loud noise from behind you. For a moment you wonder if your leviathan of a lusus has smacked against the window again.

Nope. No enormous white water-snake outside, at least as far as the lights could shine. Which they did decently far. For as much as living at the bottom of the ocean sucked, your status let you get extremely high-powered lights to slice right through the darkness.

It was still oppressive as hell, though. Especially since you could rarely go up on land without being hounded by somebody for something.

Nah. Instead, it was just your computer, alerting you of a new message you have received.

Respond to Memo:

==> Use your power

Indeed, you do. Through a lengthy series of events, six couriers sent with differing packages, only one of which contains the game, and the courier carrying the package, the 6th courier, having been shot in the head, only to come back to life and murder the asshole in the checkered suit and take his place, the package is delivered safely.

Or not. You just buy another digital copy and send it to her. You've got assloads of money and this'll do nothing to it. In the fifteen seconds it took to send, your wealth had already increased at least eighteen times.

Be Quiikn ==>

You are currently sitting excitedly waiting for the others to reply... it's going to take a while. While you wait, you look over the latest edition of your favorite webcomic, "This webcomic is not a well thought out idea, but I continue none the less." It's about early Alternia folklore and magic. You love the art and the story is... ok. You like the magic system a bit more than the plot.

Oh, it looks like someone replied. ==>

Memo:

Be Hyped ==>
You are so hyped for this game! It's going to be so fun! You feel like you've been missing this from your entire life. A real way to be who you want to be, in a way. You're not sure how to describe it. So you won't.

Play Game==>
You try to play the game, but you realize you need to get your game unlocked from your captcha log card first. To do that you either need to smash the glass and risk losing a captcha card, or find that corkscrew you've been using to open that darn thing with.

Look for Corkscrew==>
You look in your MISC corner, and no luck. You think your feather-cat-mom might have stolen it from you to opened her fancy bubbly water with it.  Which is weird because she doesn't have thumbs. You go downstairs to investigate the kitchen.

==> Be Linavi

You just barely passed that Being check. If for whatever reason you were missing the +3 Being modifier your Amulet of Ipseity gave you, you could've ended up being somebody else, or even worse, you could've been nobody at all.

Anyways, it seems that more people have replied to the memo. Oh, it also seems you've received a digital copy of Sgrub to replace the one you, err, "lost".

==> Reply to Memo

Memo:

==> Download Sgrub

You use HuskPry to pry open the teeth of the filebeast greedily hoarding Sgrub in its maw, but it seems that HuskPry is taking a while to pry open the maw of the closedmaw filebeast.

You could just install the file directly without using a closedmaw filebeast, but your husktop may get a virus, or even worse... explode.

You like your friends and all and think the absolute best of them, really, you do, but you just don't want to risk that sort of thing.

In the meantime, you take out and equip your Cowl of Acuity giving you a whopping +5 awareness but a crippling -3 wisdom, not that that'd affect anything.

You also write a handwritten apology using your finest calligraphy pen which... ends up being quite rude, then you write a second, much less rude apology, then you put it in an envelope, put it through the mailslot on your door and wait.

It might take a while to send though... especially if you shoot the messenger again.

==>Be Ekliat
Once more, you are the Bodrig. And currently you've been tasked by your lusus to walk around your stupid hive picking up stupid cannon balls and putting them in your stupid sylladex.
Alright most of those things weren't stupid but your sylladex is.

You utilize the 'Cup' fetch modus, meaning that you leave it up to pure random chance in order to try and get the items you want. When you first received it, you imagined yourself donning a fine top hat and a suit- and pulling out some cup tricks and filling most of it up with empty space and pulling some sort of party trick. However, you never bothered with such things.

Go back inside ==>

You finish up your task and are immediately alleviated from your monotonous chore and head back inside your hive. TURTLEDAD appears to be either sitting inside, or getting up. You don't give them the pleasure of greeting you at the door as you go back into your room. What even was the point of adding several cannonballs into your sylladex anyway? Now, on to more exciting stuff.

Play game ==>

Well, the disc is already in and there's a positively healthy looking 'Play' symbol right there on your screen. All you'd need to do is just click the button.

Click the button ==>

There's something you must do first.

But you're unsure as to what to do first.

Respond to memo ==>

Right.
Memo:

With that wrapped up, you press start!

And immediately, you're met with a screen that's asking you a question about whether or not you're a client or a server. Being the tech-unsavvy person you are, you're unsure as to what either of these two words mean. So you stare at it for some time and wait for someone else to take the lead- because you have no gog damn clue what to expect.

==> Be the sighing fishboy

You are once more Seiyya Sitkyn and indeed, you sigh. It's a bit sad that these were the people you got along best with. Sure, if you were a complete ass you could surround yourself with sycophantic gutterb - lowbloods who followed your every word. For a decent portion of wrigglerhood, you did exactly that. But it got boring super fast.

You kind of did hate all the attention. Or at least, how much time out of your day it took before you set things up to not be bothered constantly. Your Trollian was modified to blacklist handles or messages containing certain words, unless you had replied to them already.

You guess you never really minded the attention itself. Felt nice to know people looked up to you. You were the alpha howlbeast in the pack, yes, but you didn't take the manebeast's share constantly.

Not that you've... Ever seen either of them in real life. Your lusus would devour them without a second thought.
Maybe even a first.

Eugh. A reply can wait. You've already got the files on your computer, all ready to go. You open the application, finding a very simple screen. Client, or server?

There were no dedicated servers? Damn. Disappointing. Well, maybe that'd be patched in a few days. You're debating hosting. Your internet speed and computer processing abilities are probably leagues ahead of your pals. Also probably more than 20,000 leagues under the sea. You figure you'll ask.

Memo:

Ssom≈tim≈ss you hated the way you spoke, and your quirk. Your voice had a natural hiss to it, so words like "senseless" turned into Parseltongue. Which you don't know about, right.
Sounded like a hissbeast having a heart attack.

Speaking of hearts, you inexplicably hat two hearts. Kind of. You still had the right and left atriums and ventricles. But they were part of separate organs. You're not sure how it works, but you can live with one of them going for a short timespan. You'll be unconscious, and you'll die in 8 hours, but if someone helps, you'll live.

That's happened once before. Other than that, you'd be blissfully unaware of your strange bloodpumper(s).

Shame your lusus ate that violetblood before you could properly thank him. Also a shame you never figured out what absolute shit-eating asshole dumped all that trash in the water that caused you to have a heart attack in the first place.

Be Quick Quikkn==>

Man what an adventure! You had to side down the banister, slip through the hallways without going noticed, then get to the kitchen where you fought the horrific beast! In reality, you just snuck behind you lusis in the hallway, riffled through the kitchen drawers until you found the stupid corkscrew, and made a hasty retreat, running past your lusis on the way back to your room.

You take a few deep breaths until you feel comfortable in your own skin again.

You unscrew the bottle get out the game and start it up in your slugtop.

==> Be Linavi

You are once again Linavi. You're still waiting for your very slow computer speed to get this damn maw to open. You could install Sgrub directly without the mawing/unmawing protocol, but you instead envelope yourself into your Cowl, and you move on to better and brighter things.

Besides, your friends haven't even started the game. And anyways, you'll just end up getting into the game in a little bit, and there's no real rush anyways. What's the worst that could happen from joining a game a little slowly?

All so suddenly, your digestion bladder violently yells at you to quench its food-lust.

((She's still going to join in the post after Quikkn joins as planned))

==> Get food

You walk down a hallway filled with scented torches and incompetently knitted fabrics lining the walls.

You then hear a noise in your food preparation room.

[S] STRIFE!

There's no need for that. The sound was yet another beast falling for your cleverly placed trap. There's currently about four different beasts inside a captivity inside your home. The captivity is simply a pit with holes previously covered with camoflauge up above.

You quickly fire an arrow directly through the eyes or hearts of each of the four beasts. You've never missed an arrow shot while wearing your Cowl of Acuity. You're not quite sure why, but your not one to question this sort of thing.

==> Retrieve lunch

You enter through a locked door into your kill-chamber and captchalogue each carcass. When you reach a dead toothed and flightless squakbeast, you notice a small version of the squakbeast mourning the death of what you presume to be its progenitor.

You decide to leave it and its progenitor's corpse inside the captivity. As a troll whose been mercilessly hunting and killing in a culture where that's the norm, it's honestly odd that you don't just kill it too. You reason that it's because it wouldn't provide much meat and you have plenty of other meat to consume.

You roast the meat you did take with you and you captchalogue it.

==> Check on the status of SGRUB

You walk back through your torched and fabriced hallway into your respiteblock and you check on the unprying process of SGRUB. Damn, it'll still be a little while.

==>Be Ekliat

With the order of play decided, Ekliat continued to ponder around the screen for a little bit. How quaint, a little spirograph spinning around. After being mesmerized for a few moments, you decide to respond to the memo to confirm your satisfaction with your fellow peers.

Respond to Memo ==>

Memo:

That'll do fine for now.
Speaking of doing things now, you're in the mood for a bit of fun

Load cannon ==>
You hop over to the cannon sticking out of a wall and wheel it back a little bit. It's heavy, even for you, but you manage. By selecting one of the cannonballs in your sylladex and having three little cups materialize in front of you- you select the right most cup, and you're correct. One cannonball slots into the cannon with a splash. Displacing water is fun.
In any case, that's one cannon down. You just need to check the rest around your hive before anything else. You can never be too prepared.

Welcome back, fishface. Or not, I guess. You're rubbing the portion of your nose that lies between your eyes - er, at least where both should be - in frustration.

Why were your friends idiots? No matter who they were, they were just imbeciles. And that's not just condescension speaking. You're not really above them in any way. But they were all behaving like wrigglers.

Whatever. It's been decided. At least nobody offered to host that probably shouldn't. You hammer down the "HOST" button.

Due to your amazing internet connection, and free disk space? Or processing power? Whatever makes grubtops work? Your's works faster than normal when it comes to downloading shit. Now you can connect to the host. So you do.

Update team==>

Memo:

Pick a strife specibus==>

What you've already done that a long time ago. Trolls are a violent race, and you need to protect yourself. You've chosen throwing-kind/gernade-kind.

Not Compatible==>
What do you mean not compatible? You've been using it for sweeps! What about this? What about Aerosolkind?

Compatible==>
You have no idea what just transpired, but you are now using a can of pepper spray as a weapon now... you don't know why you need it as a weapon, but it's now in your inventory. You must have picked it up from the alchemy corner of your room. You do keep cans of aerosol thing like silly string and bug spray over there to gut and replace with other chemicals sometimes. Maybe you did that just now? But how come you don't remember it?

Maybe it's best not to think about it for now.

((ok so pick a strife secibus in Overseer that most compliments your character here's a link to the list of strife secubi Here to look at the level ups and such before you choose in the game.))
