Gamma Session

OA: Wait.
OA: Orcina loaded her game?
OA: Oh, dear.
OA: I guess she is Lalnia's server player, then.
OA: Delphi, try not to get her killed or anything, okay?
OA: Uh.
OA: Give me a second. I was looking this up! I have the information here somewhere...
OA: You have to deploy those thingamawhatsits.
OA: It's gotta be over here...
OA: Ugh. I can't do this right now. Be careful, Orcina. Both of you.
OA: And Enidia should not under any circumstances join next!
OA: I thought we were keeping her and Orcina apart!
OA: Neither should be the other's server.
OA: I'll go in next. If I have the time.
OA: Don't do anything stupid.

> Kaia: Panic.

Why would you be panicking, exactly? You have this under control. They had to start the game, sometime, after all. You just wish it hadn't been so soon! There were plans to make! Outcomes to contemplate! Friends to lecture vaguely and pessimistically realistically.

Plus, this is a really bad time for you.

Your dear AMA is home.

> Leave your room. Observe the guardian.

Nope, nope, nope. You don't have time for that sort of thing. And she might spot you while you're outside! You're not at all in the mood for all the RIDICULOUS SOUVENIRS. You have too many as it is. And the POSTCARDS. You really hate postcards.

> Just go.

Fine. But this is going to turn out horribly. You just know it.

LE: ~# I wasn't gonna join with fushia text
LE: ~# Err Orcina?

==> You're not worried about the fushia?

No! You know you can fight!

But you do start loading up your FLOWER MODUS with all your precious items though, to get ready to. .. Well whatever.

=>

[AW]: ^Whatever Do You Mean?^

=> Click on the girl again.

Must. Resist. Friendship. Abuse.

=> Resist

You resist. You open the memo instead and am reassured by the fact that the girl on your screen is indeed, Lalnia.

You decide to come clean, just for the sake of figuring out what the heckles is going on and what to do next.

[AW]: ^Okay, Sho That May Or May Not Be Me.^
[AW]: ^Okay Yeah It'sh Me.^
[AW]: ^Now What Do I Do?^
[AW]: ^What Ish Thish Shit You Are Speaking To Me About, Lime Text... Uh...^
[AW]: ^Whatever The Fuck You're Called.^
[AW]: ^Beshidesh, I Promishe Not To Kill Anybody.^
[AW]: ^Yet.^

> Kaia: Peek outside.

There she is.

You really wish she wouldn't carry so much luggage.

That way she'd have less room for all those damn souvenirs. Well, gifts. But that makes it sound like they ought to be appreciated! And they're annoying!

You notice how tired your AMA looks. You'd forgotten how long she'd been away. You do that sometimes. It almost makes you feel bad.

> Check memo on cellular phone.

The one gift you will admit to appreciating.

OA: Don't push it, Enidia.
OA: And don't worry or anything.
OA: Just hold on.
OA: I'll try not to keep you waiting for long, either of you.
OA: I guess.

>Be silly troll girl again
This silly girl is currently responding to the MEMO
>Oh okay

[GC] 8UT KAIA IF SH3 J0INS N3XT I SH0ULD B3 H3R S3RV3R PLAY3R
[GC] IT SAYS, "S3ARCHING F0R CLI3NT PLAY3R," NOW!
[GC] IF SH3 J0INS I SH0ULD BECOME H3R S3RV3R PLAY3R RIGHT?

[GC] AND G00D N0 D3ATHS UNTIL ABS0LUTELY N3CISSARY!
[GC] IF TH3R3 AR3 ANY AT ALL!

>Look at game window again
You pull up the game window.
As you stated before it now says that it is waiting for a client player
Whatever that means!
but you notice two other tabs
one seems to be the leveling system while the other appears to be the games money!
How cool!
You pull up the level tab and see that you have almost reached level two!
how strange that they know your Echeladder status!
You also appear to have 73,437 boonbucks!
So that's what those thing were for! Thank cod you have been saving them!
>I don't care about that let's move on to the others

> Go back to being the human.

This is okay with you. It's not like it's something you can control, anyway. That much you know.

> Kaia: Greet your mother.

It's your duty as a good and loyal daughter to greet your AMA after a long vacation. You were hoping to postpone this, but it looks like you have a game to get into and it's not like there's going to be a better time, right?

You wave tentatively in her direction.

She does not appear to notice.

> Jump up and down frantically to warrant attention.

What a crude suggestion! You think not. Very much not.

You instead wave your hand faster in a more dignified manner. Your AMA has noticed you. You attempt a smile.

...

Is that a shopping bag?!

> Abscond.

Yes, of course. Right away.

You dash into your room, daughterly duties fulfilled.

> Obtain information. Respond to memo.

Absolutely.

OA: Okay, I'm back.
OA: I think I've got it.
OA: Orcina, you have to open the Phernalia Registry.
OA: You have enough grist, right?
OA: At least, I think that's what you need.
OA: Deploy the Totem Lathe, Cruxtruder, and Alchemiter.
OA: (The names are so weird. Is this really necessary?)
OA: Don't make them too far away from each other.
OA: Er.
OA: It says to whack the Cruxtruder really hard or something.
OA: So you could do that, perhaps.
OA: And you have to turn the wheel?
OA: I don't know for sure. I'm just reading this... thing.
OA: Anyway, I'm going to trust you guys. This stuff seems pretty hard to explain properly.
OA: Figure it out yourselves. You can do it.
OA: I can try to help if you need it.
OA: But I'm loading up the server copy now. I'll be Enidia's client when she joins the daisy chain of servers and clients next.
OA: You'll have to wait for a client, Lalnia.
OA: I'm talking too much now, though.
OA: I'll tell you guys when the game's ready and Orcina's prancing around on my screen, okay?

=>
[AW]: ^What^

You didn't catch any of that.

So let's do some random shit that might end up harming your friend instead!

=> Open the doohickey tab

You find some machinery that's available to click. You also see that you can drag it out of it's slot and place it into Lalnia's respiteblock, which you do promptly. It resembles some tube thing with a wheels causes bubbles to erupt around it. You can see Lalnia shrieking mutely, and you forgot to message her about what you were doing.

[AW]: ^I'm Going To Put Shome Random Shtuff In Your Reshpiteblock.^
[AW]: ^Sho You Figure Out What To Do While I Fuck Around A Little More, Okay?^

Warning complete.

You continue dropping other stuff down in a maze around the other troll, including: a weird card, another large machine that's fairly flat with slots, a thinner machine with a wickedly sharp blade, and more stuff. You shrug and sit back, opening the memo again to keep updated.

==>

OA: Orcina, you could at least made an effort to sound like you were paying attention.
OA: In any case, the game's loaded and I can see you in all your alien, fuchsia-blooded glory.
OA: You need to hurry up, Lalnia.
OA: There's no time to waste.

You sit back and observe. Orcina appears to be doing something productive. That's good, you think.

However, you are increasingly anxious about getting everyone into the whatchamacallit before something terrible happens. You don't like the implications of what you've read, at least.

>Be the happy troll again
You are the happy troll!
>read MEMO
You open up the memo ONCE AGAIN and skim through the text

[GC] 0KAY W3'LL TRY N0T T0 M3SS UP!
[GC] 0RCINA? WHAT AR3 Y0U D0ING? W3 N33D T0 HURRY UP!
[GC] TH3R3 IS A WARNING 0N TH3 GAM3S PAG3 THAT TH3R3 IS A TIM3 LIMIT!
[GC] 0H N3V3RMIND TH3N
[GC] C0NTINU3 WITH Y0UR SH3NANIGANS

>Look at machines around you
You look around in confusion and decide to spin the wheel
>Spin the wheel
You spin the wheel and a glowing light spews out! A timer also starts ticking down
>Use natural instincts and protect yourself!
You look around and grab something at random before chucking it at the orb
(Im assuming the machine is the cruxtruder and what should we do for the kernelsprites?)

[whatever you'd like~]

=> be the fantabulous princess

[AW]: ^OH MY COD WHAT IN THE NAME OF POSHEIDON ISH THAT^

"That" being the kernelsprite orb. You freak out slightly, pushing yourself away from the computer and flapping until you float to the other side of the room.

Graceful.

(Kay)
>Go back to the Girl who is throwing things
You are that troll girl
>Continue with the throwing
You chuck the random item and immediately regret it
That was your prized dead crab! He had been killed by Orcina and you had brought him back to your hive because of his abnormal neon purple shell!
>Try to grab the crab!
Nope too late it is engulfed by the orb!
>Pout
You cross your arms and stomp your foot in anger before cracking up at the changing orb!
>What do you mean changing?
Well now it looks like the crab! How odd!

OA: Okay, I can't see what's going on.
OA: But judging from your expression, Orcina, I think that's probably the...
OA: Kernelsprite? Yes, that.
OA: Whatever's going on, it sounds exciting!
OA: Lalnia, I think you have to use the Totem Lathe now.
OA: You're almost there!
OA: Then I can work on getting Orcina in.

> Kaia: Become impatient.

You're trying to resist the urge, but it's too much. You drop the Cruxtruder, Totem Lathe, and Alchemiter in Orcina's respiteblock.

OA: Sorry.
OA: I couldn't help it.
OA: Try to ignore that stuff for now.
OA: We're focusing on Lalnia.

>Be the troll they are talking about
The floating crab ghost orb thing is obviously trying to communicate with you
You wonder what would happen if you threw a more troll-like thing at it would be able to talk!
You sift through your wizard dolls and pull out a female wizard who stared in one of the most famous wizarding troll movies ever!
>What movies?
You gasp in surprise
>Oh gosh what have I gotten myself into
Lalnia rambles on and on about a seven book series with three protagonists and one noseless villian
How strange!
>JUST THROW THE DAMN DOLL!
She looks hurt but throws it anyways
>NOW GIVE PEOPLE THE UPDATE

[GC] GUYS?
[GC] TH3R3'S S0RT 0F A FL0ATING WIZARD GIRL WITH 8RIGHT PURPL3 SH3LL/ARM0R IN MY HIV3
[GC] AND SH3'S TALKING!

=> Don't squeal at the weird shit dropping from nowhere

You shriek anyways. When you're done, you run back to your husktop and see what everybody else has been talking about.

[AW]: ^LIMEY WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO^

You don't want to touch any of the things that have landed. They look evil and menacing.

You could say the same for yourself, but you decide just to continue freaking out anyways.

LE: ~# ._.
LE: ~# I'll just
LE: ~# Go back
LE: ~# to the flowers ._.

==> You return to your flowers, your lusus had since left you alone in the jungle. Which you don't mind, but it is a bit scary in here. At least, to others. To you it's somewhat of both a home, a playground, and a training area.

[GC] Y3AH KAIA WHAT IS THIS?
[GC] I D0N'T 3V3N KN0W WHAT'S G0ING 0N! IT'S EXPLAINING THINGS!
[GC] AR3 TH3R3 ANY 0TH3R MACHIN3S Y0U CAN PLAC3?

>Be confused
You already are confused and the ghost girl yapping in you ear isn't helping things!
>Smack the ghost girl
No that is an awful idea!
>Calm down your lusus
Finally a halfway decent idea!
You go over and pat your lusus making calming cooing noises
>This is to sappy move on

=> Calm yourself

You manage to do that enough to answer your friend.

[AW]: ^No, I Can't.^
[AW]: ^Ask Limey, She Knowsh What She'sh Doing. Or Sheemsh Like It.^

You are still not going to touch any of the shit behind you until forced to. Nope.

Oh okay.

=> Touch the shit behind you

You examine it, first looking at a card. It has holes punched in it, and looks like it could fit into a slot on the big, flat machine just beside you.

==>

You wince. This is getting out of hand. Unless it has already. But you don't have time for thinking about that.

OA: Sorry about all that, Orcina.
OA: (Also, my name's not Limey, last I checked.)
OA: But it's fine.
OA: Just focus.
OA: Lalnia, there's that totem lathe thing, right?
OA: And a cruxite dowel?
OA: (Seriously, these names!)
OA: That's your hint. You should be able to make a totem for the alchemiter.
OA: Basically? I haven't reviewed this stuff properly. I'm just trying my best.
OA: Okay. And don't go back to the flowers, Enidia!
OA: We need you on board.
OA: We need as many of us as possible.
OA: Nothing's going to get done if we go off and work by ourselves.

==> Now! Be Orfeus!

You are now Orfeus. 

==>

Your name is Orfeus Castor. We already knew that. You are a violet blooded sea dwelling troll. But you prefer to live on land, as you do not appreciate the seadweller way of life.

==> Respond to memo

avidBowmaster [AB] responded to memo


AB: Hey guys
AB: My internet is being SHIT
AB: And I am having troubles responding to memos andsuch.

>Cover ears so you don't have to listen to ghost girl
You happily oblige and slam your hands over your ears
>Get to work!
You get to work quickly collecting items and putting them into your sylladex before shoving the cards into the totem dingy and collecting the Dowels or whatever

==>

OA: We can work on understanding this later, I think.
OA: Just keep it up. It sounds like you're doing fine.
OA: And Orfeus! We were wondering where you were. Before.
OA: Um. A lot is sort of going on right now.
OA: Shit is going down, so to speak.
OA: You have a lot to catch up on.

> Kaia: Express exhaustion.

You're not exactly sure how you'd do this, but you are exhausted. Emotionally. You really hope everyone gets it together and calms down soon.

Including you. God you are stressed. It's a bad habit.

LE: ~# Hit AB~
LE: ~# Well, go read the past messages ^_^ It'll help I'm sure.
LE: ~# But I'll be back, I smell a rare flower!

[ Bed times. I'll be back

[It's only 7:39 here~ SO HA]

=> Greet the fellow seadweller who doesn't dwell in the sea

[AW]: ^Hello.^
[AW]: ^Now Limey, Or Whatever, Help Me Out.^
[AW]: ^The Fuck Do I Do.^

You wave the card in the air, before remembering your respiteblock is full of water, and the card thing might not be waterproof. In a flurry of panic, you draw it to your chest, but find it is laminated almost specially for you.

>Be the confused troll girl
Which one?
>The violet girl!
oh alright
You are the Violet troll girl
>start combining things!
You look at your options and debate what to do
You could combine clothes to make a jamming outfit!
>Make jamming outfit
You sift through your options and select your favorite purple dress
>Combine it with wand
You mean that old disappointment!
That thing never worked!
But alright
>Combine
You combine the two and get a
WIZARDS GOWN
By gown you mean a arms length sleeveless dress that seems to swirl with magic
Cool!
>Combine battle weapon
You combine your sword with the wand and
HOLY POOP THAT IS A LOT OF GRIST!
well that's not an option
>Combine weapon with your prized cookie clicker figurine and get a
COOKIE SWORD!
>test it out
You stab a passing lusus and the sword peirces through it filling the water around you with blood.
>Don't you dare giggle over that
too late! You are giggling
>Make some normal clothes
you combine your shirt with a fluffy cat plush and get the
CAT SHIRT
A normal black T-Shirt with a cat in the place of your symbol
Cool
>Combine Glasses with wand and husktop
You have just enough grist left to make a cool pair of
COMPMAGIC GLASSES
(GTG AT TEN)
