This is my first adventure so go light on me if you please. It's going to be loosely based off of the actual MSPA this is a random idea i came up with and decided to hold onto. Jack is the only character from the main story who will appear, so dont worry too much, its a fan adventure so if this isnt your cup of tea, dont bother posting. Without further ado... i present Fall from Grace

Everyone you know addresses you by your chum handle... which you cant seem to recall right now. The horror-terrors have sent you too this doomed planet to kill Jack. you grumble in frustration and look around, the planet has yet to be damaged, SBurb has just been released and no meteors have struck yet.

You're standing the middle of New York city, what should you do first? (Feel free to suggest names while we're at it. We need a chum handle for this guy XP)

[Brickman]

>Asses inventory, or more likely lack thereof.
>Attempt to locate a public phone and with it, a phone book. Were you armed with any information about those who are destined to play the game?

Chumhandles: ApocalypseAverted, RagnarokAverter, DestinyDelayed, DestinyDuped.

[Enzeru Kagai]

You pull back your sleeve revealing a crystal blue watch. It doubles as an inventory capable of holding 10 items and a pesterchum client, it was a gift given to you by one of the gods you serve.

Thinking back you remember the gods telling you to watch for a session started by "Rain Anderson" it would be successful in getting you into the medium, even though Rain herself was doomed to fail and die in her session. You head too a nearby pay phone and use the book to locate her. Should you head directly too her, or see what else is around first?

You consider a few chumhandles, apocalypseAverted brings a smirk to your face, it fits well considering your mission. DestinyDuped makes you laugh, though you're far too serious to choose such a silly name. You tap a button on your watch and a touch screen appears in mid-air. You punch in your new name and log in, you're now free to add anyone too your chumroll to communicate when you need them, or add names as you make new allies along the way.

[Brickman]

Proceed straight there. You were not sent here to waste time, but to complete a mission. If any obstacles were to slow you down you'll be glad you took an early start.

[Enzeru Kagai]

You decide the best thing too do would be to head right where you're going. Putting the phone book back in its place you head out to find Rain. You see a mail truck leaving her house and approach cautiously. From your position you can see her carrying a client copy of SBurb, perfect timing. How should you proceed form here?

Edit: Wow, is it really that bad...? Should i just take this adventure down and pretend it never existed? I didnt realize i was so bad at this

I dont think its bad, it probably just got buried or something. I'll start posting suggestions if i can think of them.

> act like you just moved here and are looking for some new friends. inquire about package in her hand.

You haven't even had time to be bad yet. This just happened to get overlooked; text adventures are probably a bit more at risk of that than normal ones.

Thanks guys, im kind of low in the self-esteem aspect, gotta work on leveling that up lol, i appreciate any and all posts

You approach Rain, putting on your best friendly smile. You try looking friendly, but give off sort of a creepy vibe, social interaction isnt your strong point.

apocalypseAdverted continued pestering lightRain
AA: Sorry...
LR: For what..?
AA: This conversation is kind of awkward. I didnt mean to impose, just nervous about the new place.
LR: Oh! Right, i guess that was pretty rude of me. Please, come in, i'll even make you something to eat.

Jack pot. She leads you into her house, the living room is simple, fitting for such a small house. She has a three person sofa, a decent sized TV and two doors. She has two doors, one leading into a well stocked kitchen, the other into the computer area. Rain disappears into the kitchen, leaving you alone. What should you do next?

[Darkomega99]

> be polite and stay put. check inventory again, make sure you didn't miss anything.

[Enzeru Kagai]

Your inventory is currently empty, all 10 slots are available, you never believed in that stupid captchalog shit, Rain emerges soon with a bowl of cereal.

AA: When do you plan to start playing?

darkWolf joined the chat room
DW: Y0 Raln. We're waltlng on y0u! Get t00 yer damn c0mp s0 we can get started!
darkWolf has left the chatroom

LR: Right now apparently.

Rain heads into the computer room and begins downloading SBurb on her computer, oh boy this is gonna take a whiiiile.

Suddenly you're this young man, and your friend is taking way to damn long. You just messaged her, but are growing impatient. But we'll deal with that in a minute, what is this young mans name?

[Darkomega99]

> Ferdinand Roland

[Enzeru Kagai]

Ah yes, how could you forget? Your name is Ferdinand Roland, you have an affinity for wolves and lycans. You even named yourself "darkWolf" on Pesterchum. You are very impatient, and quick to anger, causing unnecessary strife battles and getting yourself into trouble often. Your room is painted dark purple with several white dots, simulating a night sky complete with a full moon. You're dressed in shorts and a t-shirt and are set to explore this new game, you even planned ahead, unlike all your other friends, and know that you'll be prototyping your kernal sprite with a wolf plush, and your deceased dog. Your captchalog deck is set to howl, meaning you can access any card any time, as long as you shout the items name loudly. Too anyone who didnt love wolves this would be inconvenient as it would cause a sore throat.

You have pesterchum open on your computer and your currently awaiting the start of your game, what should you do?

[Darkomega99]

> Ferdinand: surf the web while you wait for your friend

[Enzeru Kagai]

Bored, you decide to hop on the internet. You browse through several of your favorite websites and start a chat with Rain while you wait for her.

you hear Rains computer ding, FINALLY SBurb is done downloading and you can get back to work. You give a slight grin as everything is set into action and the game is started, there are four players in this session and you're going to be sent into the medium through them. Rain is the first to establish a connection and the last to get a client, so you'll be here for a while before entering the medium.

Rain sets up her connection with Ferdinand and the game begins.

Type AA for apocalypseAdverted and type F or Ferdinand to give commands respectively.

[Darkomega99]

>F: Figure out controls
>AA: Inquire about game. (where to get it at, how much it costs, Can you play with them)

[Enzeru Kagai]

Ferdinand sits at his computer and tinkers with the controls, He doesnt have a player yet so he's running a tutorial. In the meantime, AA walks up to Rain as she starts setting up gear in Ferdinands house and starts to question her.

AA: So where'd you get this game anyway?
LR: Through the mail, you have to order it from the company that makes it.
AA: Oh, well how much did it cost?
LR: 'round 60$
AA: Damn, that's expensive.
LR: No kidding.
AA: Mind if i play with you guys?
LR: Not sure, we're starting our session today. Your free to stay and help out anyway you can, but i doubt we can get you your own session for a while.

You smirk, all you need is to be in this house when it enters the medium. Being a servant of the horrorterrors you have a few perks while in the medium. You can jump from session to session, visit each player individually and can communicate with your god. You could leave Rain and never have to see her again the second you enter the medium, and go straight for the Jack Noir who becomes a threat.

Rain gets all the tools set up, and for the first time Ferdinand spots the timer. She turns to you and asks what that means and what they should do from here, through a friend who helped design the game Ferdinand learned too break the lid open but doesnt know much else.

[Darkomega99]

>AA: tell rain that its the time limit to get into the medium and if she doesn't get in in time, she loses. (DO NOT mention meteors)
>F: (if it hasn't been done,) establish a connection with Rain.

[Enzeru Kagai]

You kindly explain to her that the game hasnt officially started until she enters the medium, which she has to do before the timer reaches zero, she asks or else what and you simply reply "Game over"

Ferdinand gives you a disapproving look, brushing black hair out of his face. There's four players in this group, Rain is his host, and he's AQ's host, if he hosts Rain and she hosts him, how will the group play as a whole? You'd effectively eliminate two players from the four player group! After a long disapproving look he starts to contact AQ again, only to be met with silence... that cant be a good sign. He turns around and watches his bed fling a crossed the room and through his wall.

Somewhere in this world, Rain is blushing, AA is gasping for breath due to laughter and Ferdinand is ready to unleash hell upon some poor generic rip off of an underling.

[Darkomega99]

(wait, ferdinand is in the same room as AA and rain?)
>F: STRIFE!!!

[Enzeru Kagai]

(No, sorry for the confusion lol. It was just meant to be a joke about how pissed he is due to current events. Rain and AA are in New York, Ferdinand is in... lets England for the lulz of it XD)

Ferdinand continues looking at you like your insane, who would he possibly strife wi-

A knife suddenly cuts through his door, alarming him to the displeasure of his guardian. It is suddenly kicked open as his older SISTER glares at him from the doorway.

Strife Tutorial!

Unlike HomeStuck you are free to do any kind of attack during your turn, how ever, certain attacks require more ENERGY to use then others. Ferdinand has FOUR (4) Energy, which is unusually high for a level one character. Melee attacks require NO energy, slashing with your weapon, punches, etc etc, but do the least damage.

Flashier attacks that unleash ENERGY on your opponents do the most damage, but tire you out faster and lower the energy meter.

Ferdinand readies his ClawKind stratus and dons the LYCANS RAGE, the shittiest claws in existence. His sister brandishes her legendary BATTLE KNIFE and takes the pre-emptive attack

SISTERs lightning quick KNIFE SLASHES mixed with her unhappy challenge "WHAT THE $*&# ARE YOU DOING UP HERE?!" takes a whopping -4 off your health.

for reals though >F: consume 2 energy on a flashy move

[Enzeru Kagai]

(And here's where i shine, flashy attacks >) )

Ferdinand stomps down and lowers his claws to his sides, letting out a loud hunters howl, purple streams of energy begin to glow off his weapon as a crimson moon appears against a black background behind him. Charging foreword he rapidly dashes passed SISTER cutting her every time, with every slash purple energy explodes against her body. Suddenly appearing in the air above SISTER he drops down and slashes with all of his might, unleashing the rage of the mighty lycans on his guardian.

LVL 1 UNHOLY RAGE OF THE LYCANS learned!

SISTER flinches and stumbles back in pain, a huge -12 damage taken from her health meter, also STUNNING her to give you an extra attack! Ferdinand wipes sweat off his forehead and smirks, only slightly winded.
