[LordHyper]

>Chris: Talk to Conrada since you think that she might have a crush on you.

You're not sure why you would bring this up now. You've been having suspicions that she's had a crush on you for years. She always acts sorta nervous around you and you've been spotting subtle hints.

Plus there's the valentine's cards she sends you, which she writes in blood. Whether it's her blood or someone else's, you really don't want to know.

RT: Conrada?
CW: Hiiiiiiiiiii motherfucker!
CW: I can't stick around and talk right now, as much as I would love it.
CW: Bill's getting swamped by monsters.
[COLOR="rgb(160, 82, 45)"]RT: Monsters!?[/COLOR]
CW: Yeah. It's hard to believe, but you'll motherfucking see when you enter the Medium.

...Welp, now you're scared.

You hear something fluttering behind you: SHINNIHORRIBLE has come back.

SHINNIHORRIBLE: Your mom's coming up to the driveway.
SHINNIHORRIBLE: You have about a minute left kid. Let's get out while we can.

>Chris: Wait until your Mother enters the front door and then take a bite out of the Apple.

[LordHyper]

>Chris: Wait until your Mother enters the front door and then take a bite out of the Apple.

You quickly place the carved Totem on the Alchemiter pad. It ends up creating a shining APPLE. Suddenly, you hear noises from the front door. You quickly pick up the APPLE and you bite into it...

Several land masses float through the skies, with SCIENCE TURTLES wandering around, sharing it's theories with the very uninterested IMPS, who had large dark wings and carried goggles. The land's most interesting feature and ASCENSION QUEST was a huge rocket, which sat in the center of everything and is nearing completion.

A house appears on one of the floating landmasses, it's previous location in the process of getting destroyed by a meteor. The SAGE OF TECHNOLOGY has arrived in the [COLOR="rgb(160, 82, 45)"]LAND OF SCIENCE AND SKY[/COLOR].

You are now the SCIENCE SKELETON.

You don't need someone to open your pod for you; you're smart enough to open it yourself. You escape from your pod and look around. Your fellow MARAUDERS continue to sleep within, one having managed to wake up already.

The scientists that are in charge of your well being are talking over coffee, having not noticed your awakening.

[LordHyper]

>Try to cheat by stealing some extra weapons and taking upgrades from the prototypes of the other players too.

You quietly sneak over to something entitled "Prototype Machine". You examine the screen. Only two players have so far entered the Medium, meaning about four prototypings. You enter the pod, letting the laser inside give you powers. You leave the pod and look at yourself. The gaps between your bones are now filled with feathers, your body has taken on a more alien like shape, and you have grown wings of some sort. There's also a pair of goggles on your head, but you'll save testing them for later.

You would also like to steal some extra weapons, but you only have knowledge of one STRIFE SPECIBUS: PENKIND. You pick up a golden pen in a pile of weapons and click it. A golden sword pops out of it. You have obtained PERCY JACKSON'S PEN.

Since the scientists have failed to notice you yet, you tiptoe over to a teleporter and set the settings to teleport you to the recently formed LAND OF SCIENCE AND SKY. Without hesitation, you jump in and teleport.

PS: Did you hear a noise?
DS: No.

You are now FLORA.

Is it you, or is everything getting hot all of a sudden?

==>

[FIDUSPAWN]

>Try to figure out why it getting hot all of a sudden.

[Lazro]

>look up.

[LordHyper]

>Try to figure out why it getting hot all of a sudden.

You look outside the window. The forest outside has caught on fire, and would eventually spread to your house. But that's not the worst of it. You look up into the sky and you see a giant flaming rock. Heading directly toward your house.

Maybe that's what the countdown on the Cruxtruder was for. You have about a MINUTE left.

You notice something on the floor and pick it up. It's a card that has holes in it and displays a picture of a BOOK.

>Make Cruxite from the Cruxtruder and use Totem Lathe to carve design based on the card. Put Cruxite on pedestal on the Alchemiter and spawn the object shown on the card. You must then quickly destroy it.

My sister made Conrada. Not quite what I had in mind, but it's the thought that counts.

>Make Cruxite from the Cruxtruder and use Totem Lathe to carve design based on the card. Put Cruxite on pedestal on the Alchemiter and spawn the object shown on the card. You must then quickly destroy it.

You run over to the Cruxtruder, wondering how it makes Cruxite. You try moving the valve, and something pops up. Some sort of green thing. You look at the countdown. You have 50 SECONDS left.

You place the Cruxite on the Alchemiter pedestal and it produces... A PERFECTLY GENERIC OBJECT. You facepalm for this waste of time. You bring the Cruxite over to the other device, which you presume is the Totem Lathe. You place the pre-punched card into a slot and a laser begins cutting into the Cruxite, carving it into a different shape. You panic when you see that you have only 30 SECONDS left.

After a few more seconds, the laser is done, having turned the Cruxite to a vase like shape. You carry it back to the Alchemiter, kicking the PERFECTLY GENERIC OBJECT away. A green bookcase spawns, dropping a GREEN BOOK before disappearing. On the cover, it says, "Rip Out All My Pages to Escape". Without hesitation, you flip open the book and began tearing out the paper inside. You turn towards the countdown...

10... 9.... 8.... 7....

...? It stopped at 7. Wondering why it happened, you quickly run outside...

A meteor hangs far above your house, but it wasn't falling. That's when you hear a voice from the roof.

SISTER: Hey!
SISTER: I don't know what you're doing...
SISTER: But hurry up and get us out of here! I'm doing the best I can to slow this thing down!
MF: Okay!!!
SISTER: Oh yeah, and one more thing.
SISTER: By saving our lives...
SISTER: I'm officially better than you.

You cringe. Until the day you save your sister's life, she'll be holding this over you. You run back into the house and pick the book back up. You continue tearing out the pages. Meanwhile, the countdown changes to 6 SECONDS left, as your SISTER is starting to fail. Finally at the last page, you rip it out. The words, "THE END", appear briefly on it before everything disappears...

Cities are spread out all over the planet, with no natural land anywhere. It is always night in this land, so the only light given to it's ELF CONSORTS are the artificial ones and the glowing but distant PROSPIT. Monsters spawn in dark alleys, waiting for a player to pass by...

A house along with part of a forest spawn on top of a skyscraper, isolated from the rest of the world. The MAGE OF NATURE has arrived in the [COLOR="rgb(46, 139, 87)"]LAND OF CITYSCAPE AND NIGHT.[/COLOR]

---

You are now the PROSPIT SCIENTIST.

You're kicking back and drinking coffee with your buddy. What will you do?

[FIDUSPAWN]

>Check right now to see how the Marauders are doing in the lab.

[LordHyper]

>Check right now to see how the Marauders are doing in the lab.

You go over to the pod area and drop your coffee, letting the liquid flow misery all over the clean floor. One of the pods has been opened, the Science Skeleton to be specific.

PS: Shit.
PS: One of them's missing!
DS: Wait, really?

Your companion runs in, slipping on the coffee flow. He does not care though, as he managed to see the empty pod.

DS: Oh my god we're so getting killed.
PS: It has to be here somewhere!

==>

[FIDUSPAWN]

>PS and DS: Start searching for the missing Science Skeleton.

[Lazro]

>Both: Scream. Scream like heck.

[anacreon]

>Both: Flip the fuck out

[LordHyper]

>Both: Flip the fuck out.

You both begin FTFO. This is bad. Very bad. If the White Queen finds out, this means imprisonment. If the Black Queen finds out, it's execution. Either way, you're both screwed.

>Both: Scream. Scream like heck.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHkay that's enough.

>PS and DS: Start searching for the missing Science Skeleton.

You check in the pod area, to see if the Science Skeleton is still lurking around. You can hear something moving...

==>

[FIDUSPAWN]

>PS and DS: Check what appears to be moving in the pod area.

[LordHyper]

>PS and DS: Check what appears to be moving in the pod area.

PS: Hey! There's something over here!
DS: Really? I'll grab a weapon then.

The Dersite Scientist comes back, handing you one of the CLUBS DEUCE clubs. You both walk around the room, searching for whatever was moving. Then....

???: BOO.
PS:
DS:

While DS flips out, you managed to wet yourself.

==>

[FIDUSPAWN]

>PS: See who just said Boo.

[anacreon]

>PS: Calm DS down

[Lazro]

>PS: SEPULCHITRUDE

[LordHyper]

>PS: SEPULCHITRUDE

You wonder what gave you that idea. You're no hard-broiled detective!

>PS: Calm DS down

His FTFO METER is at critical level. It would be a miracle if you were able to stop him. You'll just have to wait for him to calm down himself.

>PS: See who just said Boo

You turn around. It wasn't a monster, or the black queen, or some creepy clown guy. It was the Crustacean of the Night, the Marauder of the Land of Cityscape and Night. She's a sneaky fellow like that.

CN: Hehehehe... I got you guys good!
PS: How... How did you break out?
CN: There's a latch inside the pod. Sheesh. Some scientists you guys are.
PS: Well, have you seen...
CN: SS? He already escaped. You guys are lousy at security too.

You facepalm. You really need to do a better job at keeping on top of things.

[FIDUSPAWN]

>PS: Guess I might as well give you the prototypes and weapon and send you to your own land as well.

[LordHyper]

>PS: Guess I might as well give you the prototypes and weapon and send you to your own land as well.

PS: Come on. You may as well receive your gifts and head on to the new land.
CN: Ooh! What do I get? Huh? What do I get?
PS: We'll just have to wait and see.
CN: Do I get a weapon?
PS: Yes, just-
CN: Is it a gun? I'm not very good at aiming, but it'd be nice to try and shoot something with one...
PS: Someone kill me....

Ignoring her yammering, you push her over to the prototype machine and activate the laser. CN (it'd be annoying to type in Crustacean of the Night all the time) emerged from the chamber, with no noteworthy changes.

CN: Hey! It didn't work!
PS: Hold on! It says here that you were prototyped by a book and blood. I deduce that you'll gain all the knowledge from the book. I'm not so sure what effects the blood has however.
CN: Do I get a weapon now?
DS: Incoming!

A colorful staff, known as the STAFF WOZZINJAY FIEFDOM is flung through the air. CN catches it in her claw and examines it, unimpressed.

CN: ...I may be childish, but I'm not a toddler.
CN: Stop joking, where's my real weapon!?
DS: Fool! This mighty weapon was forged in the Realm of the Snargly Fruzmigbubbins, one of the first universe's ever made! All weapons made from that place is fucking quality and usually high-ranked weapons! Weep before it's glory! WEEP!

>[S] Behold glory of the Staff of Wozzinjay Fiefdom

PS: ...
DS: ...
CN: ...
PS: Were we supposed to do something just now?
DS: I don't... think so.
CN: Um, can I go now?
PS: Er... sure. Teleporter's this way.

Who will you be now?
