Session #257 (aka Portal Session)

[ASBusinessMagnet]

Well, it's yet another Sburb session. What makes it different from the rest?

1) It's Portal-themed
2) It has a large number of players (employees of Aperture Science and Blue Portals Development Center)
3) It has an odd number of planets (normally Prospit and Derse dream tower system would require an even number, but I sorted it out)
a. I named the planets after my favorite Portal mods: Land of Access All Areas (referred to by other sources as Land of Night and Data) (dark green), Land of Blue Portals (light yellow) and Land of Portal: Prelude (brownish gray)
4) The Derse of the session is blue rather than purple (orange and blue are the colors of Aperture Science portals)

Now if I have to introduce players/employees one by one, I'd go way further than the troll session did in actual Homestuck. (Introducing 12 (13?) trolls one by one and keeping it short was quite a challenge for Andrew, but he succeeded. But introducing hundreds of employees one by one just overdoes it.)

So instead, I gave you the cosmology of the Incipisphere of the session and you are free to go anywhere.

[ASBusinessMagnet]

Double-post, there will be a triple-post since I'm changing the poll, and only then you will be able to act as someone. (YAY!!! FINALY SOMTEHING LIEK A MSPAAF!!!!11!Ä„)

The last poll "the planet we should go first" resulted in this:

Both Land of Access All Areas (Land of Night and Data) and Land of Blue Portals received 3 (three) votes
Both Land of Portal: Prelude and Skaia (Portal 2: The Stupidest Sequel of All Time Lobby) received 1 (one) vote
All other options (Prospit, Derse, their moons, the Veil) received 0 (zero) votes

With this tie, I'm showing off Land of Access All Areas (left) and Land of Blue Portals (right) side by side.



(With the I was kidding, no now and no then)

[fivexthethird]

>Right.

[ASBusinessMagnet]

>Right.

What? Who are you playing as? I introduced no playable characters.

I meant go to the right planet, LoBP

[ASBusinessMagnet]

Well, you're in luck, since LoBP got 3 (three) votes and LoAAA got 2 (two) votes.

So, here we are. Land of Blue Portals.





This A.I. is just minding her own business on the chambers that were teleported with her into Land of Blue Portals. It just so happens that this is the first anniversary of the Blue Portals Development Center being teleported into the Incipisphere. Though it was a year ago she was given her own planet, she already had a name all the time, and it would be foolish to name her otherwise or even try to guess her name. She's called 0ver5e3r. (Yes, Collosal, I could not wait until Blue Portals 2 and designed the looks of the announcer, as well as the reward "The Franchise" myself.)

As an A.I., you, 0ver5e3r, are stuck in this construction and the life as it is boring. You need something so that you could make such a life entertaining.

What will you do?

[ASBusinessMagnet]

> Retrieve arms from portals.

I dunno, you may be watching a historic moment when the retrieve arms command succeeds for the first (and last) time.

Through portals deploy mechanical arms (that you fully control) and attach to you your pair of ARMS.



Now you are given more versatility in this room.

[blueation]

>summon a test subject

[ASBusinessMagnet]

>summon a test subject

Program "SummonaTestSubject.exe" successfully run.

Only problem.

She doesn't have a name.

What will the name of this test subject be? (I assume 0ver5e3r can decide on such things, since she's the God of Land of Blue Portals)

[blueation]

>The test subject will not have a name of course! Just call him "test subject #413".
#413 for friends

[ASBusinessMagnet]

>The test subject will not have a name of course! Just call him "test subject #413".
#413 for friends

She's female.

But that's okay. Her codename is "Test Subject #413."

[blueation]

>try to piss her off by referring to her as a man.
and
>summon turrets

[ASBusinessMagnet]

>try to piss her off by referring to her as a man.

You can't! The version of Homestuck (not Sburb but Homestuck) installed in this session does not allow you to refer to things differently from the way they are!

You lose 1000 rank points and level down from Level 413 "Godhead Combine Overseer" to 412 "Chuck Himself" in your Ay-Igh-Ladder for thinking such a thought.

>summon turrets

The turrets immediately sink and do nothing. Prior to the Transportation Blue Portals Development Center did not manage to exactly replicate the turrets. Though, you remember seeing them in "Blue Portals Time Trial & Turret Challenge Subsidiary".

The water level raises a bit. It may not be noticed by a human being like Test Subject #413 but for you it only raises your concern on what will happen if the water reaches you.

[blueation]

>lower the water level by using one of your beloved BLUE PORTALS

[ASBusinessMagnet]

>lower the water level by using one of your beloved BLUE PORTALS

First, the underwater walls of your room, unseen to you, are portal-proof. Some mysterious entity seems to make them so. And even if they weren't, you don't have a spare Portal Frame to displace a blue portal there. And third, the portalguns in Land of Blue Portals are blue portal-only, so Portal Frames here can only displace orange portals.
