So Many Countdowns <Closed>

NEW PLAYER: BEGIN. ==>

A young, and handsome, man stands alone in his bedroom. It just so happens that today is.....just another ordinary day. Your 16th Birthday was only a week ago, however, though you've lived for about 16 years, it is only today that you will be given a name.

Enter Name. ==>

You enter the name USELESS JACKASS, but it looks like the boy doesn't approve. Now that you're done messing around, you decide to try again with a more sophisticated approach.

Enter Real Name. ==>

Your name is LEON MILLER. According to yourself, you have a variety of hobbies. You prefer to waste your life watching ANIME and reading MANGA. You FANGIRL over FICTIONAL CHARACTERS and have a fine collection of ANIME KNICKKNACKS. Your dream is to become a MANGA ARTIST and you love to DRAW. In other words, you're the definition of WEEABOO. You also enjoy playing RPG GAMES, such as ZELDA, along with SIMULATION GAMES, like THE SIMS, when your favorite ANIME SITES are down.

Besides being an annoying OTAKU, you also love to indulge yourself in reading fine MYSTERY NOVELS and watching PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS on your spare time. With your AUNT, you play many BOARD GAMES online, CLUE is one of your favorites. You tend to be a HEAVY SLEEPER and can sleep through the loudest of noises. You tend to be very SHY, even around your group of friends, and try your best not to be a BURDEN. Your chumhandle is doomedNeophyte and you t-type with a pinch of your anxiety...

What will you do?

Be Someone Else. ==>

Hey, hey! Not so fast!

Find SBURB on uTorrent ==>

As predicted, Sburb came out today. Unfortunately, you and your friends weren't picked for the beta testing. Looks like it's time to illegally download some games! Good thing your Aunt Lola taught you how to get free stuff off the Internet!

Proceed To Be Someone Else ==>

Now you can go. Go on now.

==> Become someone else

You become the patriotic guy. Why not give him a name?

==> Name him

You enter TRIGGER-HAPPY DOUCHE. He isn't very pleased with this name

==> Try again

Your name is PETE NAPIER. You consider yourself to be a DIE HARD PATRIOT. You like GUNS of all kinds, especially SHOTGUNS. You like FPS VIDEO GAMES, WAR MOVIES, and HISTORY. You pretty much own all the n00bs at FPS VIDEO GAMES and you enjoy a good COMIC BOOK. You like to WORK OUT so you can lose this god awful BABY FACE of yours. You are a STUBBORN BASTARD and you are very ARROGANT CONFIDENT. You fancy yourself a LEADER, even though you don't always make the best decisions. Your chumhandle is patrioticHooligan and you bring the American pride into your typing.

What do you do now?

==> Play a haunting refrain

You don't know how to play an instrument, dumbass.

==> Fine then. Message a friend

You decide to message your friend on pesterchum.

patrioticHooligan [PH] began pestering doomedNeophyte [DN]

[PH]: Hey dude
[PH]: Hows the illegal downloading of the game going

==> Answer Chum

 It looks like someone is messaging you!

[DN]: h-ii...
[DN]: i-t's going quite well, should be done in about 3 minutes...

==> Send the Downloads

 Like always, you were right. The Sburb Beta's Client and Server applications downloaded within 3 minutes. You make a copy of the two, then zip them in a compressed folder. Using MediaFire, you make the game downloadable for everyone. (Which will most definitely result in the end of the world, but you knew that already, didn't you?) It seems that his predictions are beginning to come true. Pretty freaky!

[DN]: o-kay got the game, here's the downloads CLIENT SERVER
[DN]: c-an you send it to the others too...? i have some things to do before we start the game...

doomedNeophyte [DN] ceased pestering patrioticHooligan [PH]

==> Captchalogue Naruto Figurine

You captchalogue the NARUTO FIGURINE from your desk. You never leave without it, in fact, it's your most prized possession. Your Grid Modus gives it the coordinates (-1 , -1) and (3 , 4). You immediately know the answer is 5/4, but you'll remember it for whenever you want to take the item out.

==> Go Downstairs and Check on Your Aunt

You decide to check on your Aunt, though she's probably busy programming like usually. It's always safe to check up on her once in a while though, she can be a bit unpredictable sometimes.

==> Go Be Someone Else

It seems your interest on this boy has gone astray. You leave to be someone else.

==>Be the insane one

You decide to be the insane one.  You see a boy standing in the middle of a darker room lit only by the light coming from a laptop.  The boy has a huge, but slightly frightening smile on his face.  His hair is covering his face.

==>Name him

At even the mention of this (and somehow the boy knows you are mentioning this) the boy starts screaming loudly threats of death that you decide to take seriously

==>Take seriously

Your name is Cain Thomas, and you are the only sane person in the world.  For this everybody else thinks that you are insane FOR SOME FREAKING REASON!  You love renaissance art, meat, your friends, Winston, Psychoanalyzing people (which you are VERY good at), and killing people (which you are also very good at).  People have called you things like SOCIOPATH and DELUSIONAL.  Those people didn't live very long.  Your chumhandle is HistericThinker

==>Pester One of your friends

That is a Good idea.  You decide to pester your oh so good friend Pete.

HistericThinker [HT] began pestering patrioticHooligan [PH]

HT:  Frieeeeeeeeend
HT:  Hello Friend
HT:  Hope your not trying to do anything without me
HT:  That would be QUITE UNFORTUNATE!

==> Receive the downloads

Aw yis. The downloads are here. You're really excited to play this game. It's not typically your style of game, but you like to break new grounds.

[PH]: Oorah!
[PH]: Time to get shit done!
[PH]: Ill start my client download ASAP

==> Notice the other chum

Another chum is pestering you. You grimace. Cain always made you uncomfortable. Best answer him anyway.

[PH]: Hey dude
[PH]: Leon was downloading that game we were going to play
[PH]: Heres the links   CLIENT. SERVER

==> Start download

You click the client link and start your download.

==> Enter Your Aunt's Room

  Though it might be considered invasion of privacy, your Aunt is totally cool with you going into her room. It's not like she has anything to hide, or so she says. You look around the room. Nothing is new.

==> Take Hairdryer From Dresser

  You equip the HAIRDRYER to your Strife Specibus. Not as deadly at the moment, but you're certain something will give it THE ABILITY TO SHOOT FIRE in the near future. Again, one of your visions is starting to become a reality.

==> Ascend

  What a fancy name for walking up stairs.

==> Begin Downloads

  You start with the Server Download first. You're sure Pete has already begun downloading the Client Download.

==> Watch Pretty Colors on the Screen

  You spend the next 5 minutes watching the pretty spiral thing do stuff.

==>Be Cain

You decide to be Cain again.  

==>Pester another Friend

You decide to pester your other friend to see what this game was really all about.

HistericThinker [HT] began pestering doomedNeophyte [DN]

HT: Hello Friend
HT: What is this interesting game all about
HT: I BET YOU AND PETE ARE TRYING TO GIVE MY COMPUTER A VIRUS AREN"T YOU I KNEW YOU ALWAYS HATED ME AND FOR THAT I AM GONNA KILL BOTH OF YOU!!!
HT:  just kidding I know you would probably never do ANYTHING to anger me would you friend
HT: would you

==> Answer Chum

  It looks like Cain is pestering you!

[DN]: o-oh hii...
[DN]: i-i'm pretty sure it's not a virus, i just finished the Server download first...
[DN]: n-nothing outta the ordinary...
[DN]: a-anyways, i'm not sure what the game is about actually, but it sounds fun...!

==> Check on Download Progress

  It finished! Though, it only displays a black window with the words "SEARCHING FOR CLIENT" on it.

==> Check the download progress

You check the download progress. It looks to be finished. You should update Leon on this.

==> Pester Leon

[PH]: Yo my downloads finished.
[PH]: All it says is waiting on server player.
[PH]: I think that may be you Leon

==>Start download

You decide to start downloading the game on your laptop. It seems to be downloading pretty quickly.

==>Talk to Winston

You decide to talk to Winston whilst waiting for the game to download. Winston is your very best friend and you are his only friend. This is mostly due to the fact that you are the only one who can see or hear him. Other people say that he is an "Imaginary Friend". They don't typically live long after saying that though.

[DN]: m-mine connected noww...
[DN]: u-uhh, i can see your room and stuff...

==> Experiment with Controls

  It seems you are able to manipulate the Client Player's surroundings. This'll be fun. You pick up Pete's BED and fly it around midair. Your finger then slips off your mouse, sending the bed through the wall and out onto his lawn. Oops.

[DN]: c-crap...s-sorry about thatt...

==> Read the Help Section in Options

  Although it might not be very detailed, it gives you a sense of what you're dealing with. It says to deploy the many machines that are available in the game. You're not sure what they're for though.

[DN]: h-hey pete, uh, i need to make so more room in your bedroom so...

==> Throw Out Useless Dresser

  You throw out the useless dresser out the giant gaping hole that the bed had made.

==> Respond

[PH]: You can?

==> Wave to Leon

You wave to Leon. Jackass

==> Investigate the strange crashing noises

You look back and see your bed taking a flight out of your window. You jump up in panic and watch your dresser follow.

[PH]: Dude! How are you doing that?!?!? Why are you doing that?!?!?!

[DN]: u-uh, i don't know really...i-it reminds me of the sims though...

==> Pester Cain

doomedNeophyte [DN] began pestering histericThinker [HT]

[DN]: h-hey, can you maybe run the server application...i-i'm already running the client
[DN]: o-oh...! a-and don't throw my bed out of my house, okay...?

==> Deploy Various Mechanisms

  You deploy the CRUXTRUDER, at least that's what the item's info says, where the bed used to be. Then you deploy the machine named the TOTEM LATHE, whatever that is. It seems you ran out of space in Pete's room. That can be a problem.

==> Pester Pete

[DN]: u-uh, do you know any other place to put these things...?
[DN]: t-there's a few more to place...

==> Become mad

[PH]: Who gives a flying fuck about the Sims right now?!?!
[PH]: I dont even understand how youre even moving my stuff around from halfway across the damn country through a fucking computer!!!

==> Calm down, you belligerent asshole

You calm down.

==> Study the machines around you

You look at the machines. You wonder what they do.

[PH]: Ummm maybe theres some space in my bros workshop outside
[PH]: Mind telling me what these things even do?

[DN]: a-about that, i honestly have no ideaa...
[DN]: t-try messing around with them

==> Use the Workshop

  You use Pete's Bro's workshop to place one of the machines, the ALCHEMITER. Unfortunately, there isn't any more room left due to all the clutter.

==> Tidy Up

  Might as well do your friend a favor by cleaning things around the workshop while also making room for the next machine. He won't mind, right? You hope not.

==> Check on Client Window

  It's still searching for an available server. What could Cain be doing?

==> Listen to Leon

You decide to listen to your friend and you experimentally poke the Cruxtruder. There is a bright flash and you fall back in surprise. Above the machine floats a weird ball thing.

==> Consult with Leon

[PH]: Something popped out of one of the machines
[PH]: Now its just floating there
[PH]: What do I do with it?

==>Run Server Application

You decide that it would be a good idea to run the Server application as asked.  You walk over to your laptop and see that it is finished downloading

==>Click it

You click the application and suddenly you see a person's room.  This person must be insane.  There isn't food all over the floor, There is no artwork anywhere and all of his lights are on.  oh well you think to yourself as you immediately fling his bed through his ceiling because you are pretty sure he was just using reverse psychology on you.  And you find that flinging the bed was quite fun so you start flinging everything, and pretty soon his room is basically empty of furniture.

==>Ok that's enough deploy the things

For some reason you know what things the ominous voice in your head is refering to and promptly deploy a TOTEM LATHE, CRUXTRUDER, an ALCHEMIZER, and you put one PRE-PUNCHED CARD in the middle of his floor.

==>OK now watch what he does

Instead of watching what he does like the voice tells you, you decide to look around his house to find more things to fling

==>NO seriously it is important

You groan at the voice in your head but decide that it might be better to watch and just fling stuff later.

HT: Hey Friend
HT: I connected to you and deployed the stuff
HT: I also fixed your room
HT: You are welcome
HT:Now what do we do?

==> Answer Your Friends

[DN]: j-jesus, i don't know about that either...
[DN]: i-it's my first time playing the game too you know...
[DN]: o-oh goddammit, cain's messing up my room, brb


[DN]: c-cain that wasn't really necessary...
[DN]: o-oh shit...o-oh shit...O-OH SHIT

==> Check on Your Naruto Doll You Dirty Weeaboo

  It's not a doll! It's a figurine! You proceed to check if your FIGURINE is safe from harm. THANK GOD, it's still captchalogued in your Grid Modus. You don't even know what would happen if it were to go missing.

==> Get Back to Business


  You PICK UP the Card lying in the middle of your now EMPTY room. (Good thing he didn't throw out your computer.) It's always safe to see what you're captchaloguing before you actually captchalogue it. The card has numerous square holes in it and an item can clearly be seen on it, a Limited Edition Copy of Naruto Shippuden: The Movie. A master piece. You just NEED to get your hands on it. But alas, it is just a picture.

==> Just Take the Damn Card

  You CAPTCHALOGUE the card.

==> Study Pete's Progress

  He stated that some orb like item came out of the CRUXTRUDER. Maybe that's part of the process. You mess around with the machine, eventually sending out the ORB THING and a WEIRD TOTEM LIKE THING. You captchalogue the Totem like Thing because you're sure you'll need it later. You notice that there is now a count down on the Cruxtruder. Weird.

==> Create Memo

doomedNeophyte [DN] opened memo on board SBURB

[DN]: o-okay guys, just thought it would be easier 2 communicate from here...
[DN]: s-so first things first, we need 2 figure out what these machines do
[DN]: a-also, there's this weird countdown going on on the cruxtruder and it's really creeping me out...it's at 6:32 already...

==> Notice the weird Totem thing

You had been so mesmerized by the orb that you missed the totem popping out. You now see it.

==> Captchalogue the totem

You captchalogue the totem

==> You're not very observant, are you?

No, you aren't. But you decide to be and notice the countdown. Uh oh

==> Respond to the memo

[PH]: Same here. I dont like this one bit.
[PH]: I get the feeling it means the end of the world or something crazy like that.
[PH]: Weird right?
[PH]: Anyway Im gonna throw something at the orb and see what happens

==> Throw your eagle statue at the orb

You decide to throw one of your numerous eagle statues at the orb. Hopefully, it does something.

[DN]: s-sure, in the meantime, i'll see what i can do with the weird machine things...

==> Experiment with the Machine Things

  You go over to the TOTEM LATHE. There doesn't seem to be any buttons to press or push, but a small slot on the side. You try putting the PRE-PUNCHED CARD in the slot and it fits perfectly. There's a red light flashing on the Totem Lathe, however.

==> Realize that you have a TOTEM LIKE Thingy in your Sylladex

  It's so obvious you IDIOT. You try placing the Totem like thing on the Totem Lathe. Two arms extend from the machine, holding the Totem in place. Drills come from above, carving the Totem thing. It creates the CARVED CRUXITE DOWEL, though you don't know that that is the actual name. You will continue to call them Totem Thingys until sometime in the future.

==> Take the Totem

  You captchalogue the Carved Totem Thing.

==> Observe Countdown ==>

  It is now at 4:53. This countdown must mean SOMETHING, hopefully nothing bad.

==> Deal with the Grayish Orb

  Maybe you'll do what Pete did with his, throw something in it.

==> What now?

You don't know what to do. Ask Leon.

[PH]: What now? I feel like Im missing something here.

==> Throw Your Naruto Figurine

  After much consideration, you decide to throw in your NARUTO FIGURINE (http://goo.gl/vofpsB). It seems you prototyped your kernelsprite with your Naruto doll, causing it to take the form of Naruto's face only. Nevertheless, the thing is still in the shape of an orb. Maybe you should throw something else in it?

==> Answer Pete

[DN]: h-heyy...! d-did you throw something in the floating orb thing yett...?
[DN]: i-i also found some stuff out 2...
[DN]: i-i'll make this quick, pick up the pre-punched card i just deployed then go over to the totem lathe thing...slide the card in the slot then place the totem dowel or whatever on the machine...that's all i got so farr...
[DN]: s-shit, my timer's at 3:21, gotta hurry

==> Hurry

  Out of all the machines, there's only 2 left that you haven't used. You head over to the Alchemiter since that one looks more interesting. It holds two pedestals, one being small enough for a totem to fit perfectly and the other being quite big. You place the Totem Dowel on the small pedestal, causing the machine to begin scanning it. It then creates THE ANIME DVD costing 0 Grist of course, whatever that means.

==> Look Outside Idiot!

  OH SHIT. A METEOR IS HEADING RIGHT TOWARD YOUR HOUSE.

[DN]: p-pete!!! i-i think i found out what the countdown means...!
[DN]: a-after you make the totem shit, place it on the alch-

  You hear a loud crash in your home, caused by an impact from a smaller meteor. The tremor makes you jump and you drop your recently Alchemized CD, making it break in half.

==>

==> Check out the orb

The orb is now a floating eagle head. Cool.

==> Do what Leon says

You do what Leon says and captchalogue the PRE-PUNCHED CARD. You then take it to the TOTEM LATHE and carve the dowel into a new shape.

==> You're running out of time, dude

You are indeed. A quick glance to the timer confirms this.

==> Head to the Alchemiter

You equip your SHOTGUN to your STRIFE SPECIBUS. You blow apart the window in your way and hop out of the window to run to your bro's workshop.

==> Move

You make a mad dash to reach the workshop. You see meteors raining from the sky. And one's headed right for you!

==>

An axe comes flying by and shatters the meteor. You look over and see Jeff, your bro, standing to the side. You nod gratefully and run into the workshop.

==> Alchemize

You create the AMERICAN FLAG for 0 Grist.

==> Pester Leon

[PH]: Ok I did some stuff. I have this glass like American Flag
[PH]: But what about Cain!?!

==>Be Cain

Well it seems the world is ending.  And you never thought the end of the world would be so...BEAUTIFUL.  THERE ARE PEOPLE SCREAMING, FIRE IS FALLING FROM THE SKY, AND YOU GET TO LOOK AT ALL OF IT.

==>STOP STANDING AROUND AND FIND SOMEWHERE SAFER

You sigh and decide to do as the voice says.  You quickly captchalogue your laptop with your Magic Bag Modus which basically uses a system of you put it in and can pull out whatever you wish.  You then equip your wing blades to your strife specubis.  and open the secret trap door to a basement you found in the abandoned house you have been living in.  It is completely dark down here.  WHICH IS AMAZING YOU LOVE THE DARKNESS.  You then reach into you magic bag modus and are careful to only think of the laptop as you do so.

==>SPRINKLES!

DAMMIT you suddenly pull a hand full of sprinkles out of the bag because the voice in your head made you think of them and you just so happened to have some stored in there.  You then quickly reach in the bag again and successfully pull out your laptop.

==>Ask what is going on

HT: Ok so now what the heck am I supposed to do Friends.  Though this apocalypse is beautiful I would prefer to live.
HT: Friends?

==> Be ?????

You become....honestly you're not sure who you become. Some mask wearing cosplayer? What are you supposed to be, some horned phantom of the opera wannabe? Man, this is lame.

==> Try to be Any / one else

Before you can try to stop being yourself, you cut that idea down faster then your Snap beast Lusus, whatever that is, did  to countless other ideas you had. Sigh, well since you're stuck here, might as well choose a name for yourself.

==> Enter name

Your name is Palatl Agrafe, and life is pretty bad right now. You won't go into all the details, cause you already know them and remembering hurts a bit. So instead you'll just get right down to business.

==> Look at horned statues

You look at the numerous statues scattered around your temporary hive, frowning more and more as you rember how each of your friends died. Luckily though, they were here now. Isn't that right Ayate? Ayate doesn't reply, and stands there like a statue. Oh, he must still be mad at you for stealing the last kill last battle. He'll get over it, he always got over it eventually....though it has been like 5 weeks since he stopped talking, maybe you should apologize?

==> Initiate master plan

You'll apologize later, Ayate was always drama empress anyways. Instead you perform a sweet back flip into your chair, landing head first and rolling on over to your computer. After yanking your damn horns, which are unfortunately shaped like hooks to make your day just a little worse, you sit at your computer and look at the amazing-

==>Hurry up with the plan!

Alright geeze Yuikoi, keep your bulge pants firmly equipped. You throw a towel over the mentioned statue-I mean friend, and immediatly begin to work on your master plan.

==> Pester weird hornless trolls

----HookshotSwinger has begun trolling DoomedNeophyte----

[HS]: Oh no....that's a bad sign.
