The arcana is the mean by which all is revealed...
Alternia is a quiet place. It's routine is almost the same: Culling, mauling, burning. Most trolls do this.
But one day, one of them decided to change things... break the ice. In one of his cullings, he found a game-grub... doing some searching, he finally found out that it was a multiplayer game, meaning he needed a team to play it.
Not aware of any possible danger, he started rounding a team of random trolls over Trollian... why's that?
A hunch. And most of all, the fun.
With that in mind, he willingly made what would be his life's largest gamble.
THE GAME IS ON.
>[S]Begin.
You are now FLYNNT LEWEST.
You have a variety of INTERESTS, such as WILD WEST MOVIES, EXPLORING, playing your HARMONICA and ACOUSTIC GUITAR, and so on. But by now, you are mostly hyped because of a certain game that you found... well, not much. One of the raiders you culled some sunsets ago had a gamegrub on him. It was of a game called Sgrub.
Unfortunately, the game did not do much alone. After a lot of research, all you found out was that it was a multiplayer cooperative game... nobody seemed to have heard about it. Well, "only one way to find out". And so, you started inviting friends.
Flynnt: Invite The Chariot.
...Chariot? What? You don't know of no chariot. But oh well, you'll start inviting a friend, Cirrin. And as such, you walk over to your husktop.
...Right, one invite. So now for...
Death.
You have no friend called Death. But you do have Siskus. Who you were already thinking of inviting. Simple. Easy. You're already on trollian anyways, so you call her.
...That was actually faster than expected. And it's cool by now, you guess. You'll think on more people to invite soon. You'll have plenty of time...

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
====> Be deat...I mean, Be the lusus, chastise the grub.
You are now Siskus Avarro
And that's just what you were intending to do. While you were talking to Flynnt, Saskes managed to climb to the ceiling. Again. You really need to get grubslime-proof walls.
After several minutes of prodding, cooing, and finally resorting to your powers, you manage to get the grub down, and back to her makeshift recuperacoon. Now, Flynnt mentioned a game, didn't he?...
Your train of thought is broken as you see Saskes climbing on a wall AGAIN. She has been way too energetic for you to handle tonight...Looks like you'll have to resort to desperate measures. You quickly send Cull to bring Saskes to her usual lookout on top of your head, and fire trollian up.
====> Contact the hanged man
Hanged who? Calling a dead person might be easy for some maroonblood with the required powers, but you can't do that! Besides, you're much too busy calling Jules.
Sigh. Now you'll have to handle THAT. Jules isn't really a bad person, you guess, but you can't stand his attitude. Nor that freaky ghost-machine thingy he has.
The things you do for Saskes...She'd better be damn grateful about your sacrifices when she grows up.
====> Contact the chariot

Oh for fucks sake, what now?
You suddenly realize something very important. Oh crap, this is just embarassing.
Two visitors. Two damned visitors. This day just keeps getting worse and worse, why can't you ever shut up when you really should?
And now you need to...You need to...Talk to the bridgekeeper.
...Ugh. You're going to spend a while repressing that. Starting now. You can ask more about that game Flynnt talked about later.Last edited by Palmu; 08-31-2011 at 03:01 PM.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
>Be the Chariot
You are now CIRRIN RUNFAR
You're living in a RUN-DOWN ABANDONED hive you found after leaving your original hive for reasons you DON'T WANT TO GO INTO right now. It's leaking, falling apart, and furnished with wooden crates and barrels but at least its a ROOF over your head. You could get very worked up about a GAME that allowed you to customise your adobe, more than most members of your species. Instead you'll have to suffice with whatever this game your friend has found is.
You've made your hive a home by putting up posters of your favourite PIRATICAL movies and games. You wish you could grow up to be a pirate some day, with the FREEDOM and FEARSOMENESS that comes with it. Plus eyepatches are BITCHIN. Not likely to happen anytime soon. Your lusus did a PISS POOR job of raising you to be a vicious troll, and you and ocean DON't GET ON very well. But you did used to EXTREME ROLEPLAY as a dashing insult-strifing GUYBRUCANEER. And you'd do it again if you could find someone to play with again.
But you haven't so what will you do now?
>CIRRIN RUNFAR: Be found by Sun
The big hot thing what lives in the sky? Not likely, you're nocturnal like any good troll and wait who's this contacting you? You've managed to avoid this guy for a sweep. How did he get your new trolltag?

You abscond the fuck from that conversation.
>CIRRIN RUNFAR: Chat with Death
You don't know this Death. You also think this might get old really fast so you instead talk to Siskus and proceed to have the conversation with have just witnessed.
You would later follow up on that conversation by visiting her hive.
She would later explain that that thing* was just being overly friendly and didn't mean to bite you and anyway it wasn't that hard of a chomp. But you're too paranoid to believe her.

>No, the troll sun.
The wha...?
You decide to just be Lunaro Celesi and not think about it too hard. You have a variety of interests, which include hiking and being generally outdoorsy! You also have another set of interests that are not entirely unrelated, but you won't go into that now.
You have just been blocked on trollian by an old friend you mean ex-friend who you were just recently able to track down. Honestly it was extremely optimistic of you to expect any thing else, but hey, that's you, way too optimistic. Anyway, it's no big deal. Trollian blocks are notoriously easy to bypass. It really only requires basic hacking knowledge. Basic computer knowledge even.
Just gotta... No... Click the... Ah... Move... Bypass the... No no...
It occurs to you that you may not have basic computer knowledge.
That's it. You are ragequitting the Alternianet. For real this time. You are going to go live in the wilderness all alone and never talk to anyone again. Unless it's in person. If they want to talk to you they can track you down and ooh someone seems to be trolling you.
Is that...?
Well so much for that.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
====>Be The Hermit
Now that isn't really- okay it's totally fair.
You are now TURSUN KAIROS.
You're in the SECLUDED MOUNTAIN TEMPLE you call a hive. Since an unfortunate incident at a tournament caused a highblood some permanent brain damage, your hive has been less secluded. Assassins have been making regular appearances, only to be promptly culled and rolled down the large staircase that leads to the foot of the mountain. It keeps happening.
You idly wonder if that is a reference to something.
Well, today's the day. You're about to make a plan that will keep these assassins out of your hair forever. You are going to become an ally of the matesprit of the troll you injured, thus using his influence to gain protection. Hindsight will later show you that this plan was NOT VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT.

Don't be silly, the sun can't talk.

> Be the Empress:
Wait, what? No, no, no, no! Wrong Empress! Quick, get out of here before she sees you!
> [S]Be the other Empress:
Your name is ELIZAN SHUKRA.
As you can clearly see, you are TROLL of BROWN-ISH YELLOW BLOOD. Clearly not the vibrant violet of the Condesce, and if you were aware of any of this narration, you'd take offense to this slight against royalty on display before you.
That's right, you are a LOWBLOOD who is firmly in support of the HEMOSPECTRUM, a rarity indeed.
You are also among the rare few of trolls that thinks that helping keep other trolls alive is a good thing, and as such you have studied and become quite skilled in the MEDICAL ARTS. More than a few dying or injured trolls have stopped by your Hive, situated as it is by a river for your Swanmom.
Speaking of which, you are just this moment walking away from her, after another session of her deservedly berating you for something that you must have done wrong, into your GARDEN that you lovingly tend, decorated with the SCULPTURES that you love to make, and into your Hive.
The inside of your hive is fairly spartan, though, the television in the Livingblock that's playing MY LITTLE HOOFBEAST: MOIRALLEGIANCE IS MAGIC episodes isn't exactly crappy...

Dealing with Siskus can always be... INTENSE. You're not sure you much enjoy your conversations with her, but it's not like you're going to block her... though she can be really rude.
Still... playing a game with a Brownblood?
She couldn't possibly be talking about...
> Elizan:FLASHBACK
It is now a day or two ago, and some Bluebloods and their Violetblood leader are taunting you on the edge of the desert. As a Lowblood, there's not a whole lot you feel you can do... until they start telling you how they'll leave you alone and even be friendly to you if you go raid the Hive of a troll living out in the desert.
You can't exactly get back to your hive from here, so while you are absolutely terrified, and don't particularly want to steal things from another troll's hive, you don't think you have much of a choice in the matter.
It takes three hours of walking to get to around to where the other trolls told you the Hive is supposed to be... but all you see is more sand. At least until a Brownblood in a Stetson ambushes you:

You calm yourself down, and glance over at the table in your Livingblock, where the music box that he gave you is sitting.

You have no fucking clue what that's supposed to mean and you aren't going to waste time to figure it out.

Sure, why not?
You are now CEPHUS STENEK. If the mountains of newspapers around your respiteblock aren't clear enough, you are a journalist. Right now, some idiots are partying in the hivestem above you. Even if you had the voice to yell at them to shut up, you are too busy tearing through your notes in an effort to clobber together a last-minute story. This is what you get for looking up stupid grubtube videos instead of working.

You are now JULES AMPITIER. And boy, you are the sorriest son of a grub ever. You're so boring we don't have a good picture for you. Anyways, at least you're very science. That's gotta count for something, I guess.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
>Be the Moon.
Oh come on, are we really doing this again so soon? At least you're in the right universe this time. You are now one of Alternia's TWIN MOONS. I'm sure you can't wait to just sit here in the sky and shine all night. What fun. This is obviously exactly what your vague command meant and not any sort of running gag that is already getting old. Nope, you no doubt wanted to be this small celestial body orbiting a planet full of psychopaths.
In all seriousness, would you like to try that again?
>Fine then, be the troll corresponding with the moon Arcana.
There you go.
You are now SOLENA LUMIAR.
>Solena: Shred.
Yeah.
Well that sure was exciting!
Anyway, as mentioned before, your name is SOLENA LUMIAR, and you obviously quite enjoy SURFING. As a matter of fact, most of your life revolves around SURFING. You spend practically every day out on the water, and you consider yourself to be QUITE THE RAD GIDGET. You have a variety of interests that aren't SURFING as well, but your interest in them sort of pales in comparison.
Speaking of pale, it seems someone is trolling you!
>Solena: Answer strength.
You're not sure who the crap strength is, but after a variety of shenanigans involving your CHARADE MODUS, you manage to retrieve your HUSKTOP and answer your MOIRAIL. You hope you didn't keep her waiting too long.

You head back to shore, then your HIVE as fast as you can, and hide in your recoopracoon like a little wriggler. This is mostly due to that fact that your LUSUS has a tendency to BRUTALLY BEAT YOU UNTIL YOU BLACK OUT, and you are SCARED TO DEATH OF HER.
You proceed to hide in your RECOUPRACOON for several hours.

Funny, that really does fit you, you're the most fortunate troll on Alternia. OH YEAH!!
You are now SEISKA ONNENA, the hostess of the best CASINO on Alternia. Mostly because there ARE NO OTHERS. At least none that could compare, that's how great your CASINO is. You like to think of yourself as a HARDCORE GAMBLER, and should you ever have felt like getting yourself hurt, you would become the GREATEST GAMBLIGNANT known to the universe. If they still existed. Or if you felt like getting yourself hurt. You've NEVER gotten yourself hurt. Nope!
What should you do?
>Exposit on your dislike of being harmed
What no, you don't have time for that because you just logged onto Trollian for no reason at all! And oh look, somebody's almost instantly trolling you!
-- doubleGunslinger [DG] began trolling fortunateOpportunist [FO] --
And now it looks like you're going to play a game of some kind. Well, it's better than just sitting around doing paperwork, that's for sure! You instantly start yelling at some of your employees to start getting stuff done faster because you're going to need some peace soon.
This takes a few hours. Gosh you love yelling.

That's actually a pretty good way to describe Cucali! She IS your personal muscle after all.

While you are pretty awesome and strong, your name is not Strength!! It's CUCALI PASINE.
As was stated before, you are now CUCALI PASINE, the greatest bomber and mercenary in all of Alternia. Sitting in your boring cave hive, you are pondering how the hell your stupid moirail got a piano in her sylladex. One day that sylladex is going to spit out some monster of an item and squish her. Which totally doesn't make you worried. Nope, not one bit.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
You are once again ELIZAN SHUKRA, despite the fact that not all of the other players have gotten introduced yet. Still, it's not that big a deal, really.
You have just finished a bout of gardening. You watered some medicinal herbs and some new roses you're growing, but most of your time was spent on your hands and knees, pulling weeds.
This has always reminded you of how useless trolls are CULLED, and then you get depressed, so to keep that from happening, you decide to wash up quickly and check your Trollian account.

Well, that at least confirmed that Flynnt is the brownblood leading the game that Siskus mentioned to you.
And this Tursun seems like a nice troll, a nice, respectable greenblood.
You grab a bite to eat and work on your latest sculpture a bit, with the television running in the background and your computer next to you in case you get contacted.
About an hour and a half into your work, you get get trolled again.

Friends? Oh, he must mean the h-highbloods that dared you to go to Flynnt's hive in the first place.
Oh d-dear. You're b-blushing. You have all the blushing. All of it.

True to his word, Flynnt shows up at your hive half an hour later, and the two of you have a nice time out in the desert. Though, you spend most of your time blushing and stuttering. You do that a lot.
You don't even remember Lunaro's invitation for what would probably have been a surprisingly similar outing (though you might have been less nervous with Lunaro, in fact, now that you think about it, you managed an entire sentence with Lunaro without stuttering!) until hours after you return home.Last edited by NeonProdigy; 02-14-2012 at 09:35 PM.

You nonchalantly become the troll classified under judg-- Oh my, it's bright out.
Your name is ELPIZA IUDICO, and you have stayed out just a little too late. The scorching sun mounts the horizon of now-cold sands, spreading its hellfire warmth over your skin.

You take the time to say aloud that you are no sort of secret agent and the notion of such is silly.
The talk ruse is a DISTACTION that is not easily seen through. Anyway.
>Bother lusus. Or troll a friend.
Your lusus is at rest, as you'd expect. It's getting late, but you're halfway around Alternia from most of your friends. Not this one, though. Perfect, too, you wanted to make a point of talking to him. You'd heard from one of your many sources that there was some silly childish game to be played, and you weren't invited. AND there are highbloods involved.
Naturally, you make a point of inviting yourself.
Show troll log:
Your lusus seems to be done with your earlier request-- expanding the lava tubes beneath your hive. This in no way helps you, clearly. You simply want to keep it from burning the hive itself.
You certainly don't have a secret base down there or anything.
Lava tubes isn't code at all, no.
Shhhh.
You decide to spend the day sleeping instead of using the internet to contact people you might trust. We'll certainly get back to you later, perhaps there's something else we can do for now?

Well, that's just silly. Introspection is the path to wisdom. You check your husktop for the video file. It's time to think about what happened th-oh look, it's one of the new trolls in the session!
Like the MASTER PLANNER you are, you have arranged this so that either way, you get what you want. A bodyguard job sounds like fun, and should provide you with a steady stream of future opponents. Cucali, of course, misinterprets this as a sign of flushed feelings for Seiska, which is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.
Yet.

>Past: Catch up with the Chariot
Gossip has gotten around and the Chariot and the Hermit have found they have more in common then they first thought. You did a good job of running and hiding from the past but it looks like fate has finally caught up.
And yeah, your husktop is as run down as your hive. You are not fortunate enough to be able to afford a new one but you can keep this one going with a few good bangs. Quite a few names have been added to your chumproll recently, and more are sure to follow. Notably absent is objectiveReaper, you don't need reminding that the owner of that tag is no longer around.
You decide talking to Lunaro first will be easiest.
Show Pesterlog:
>Contact the other troll
You can do this. You're only talking to her. For the first time in a sweep since that Incident.
Show Pesterlog:
You are confused. Its like she's not even the same person.
Continue Pesterlog:
>Captchalog Husktop
This doesn't feel like a good time to do fetch modus tutorial. Your reunion with Solena did not go how you had always imagined. You set your SYLLADEX to AUTOMATIC so there's not much to show anyway. It's not like letting a computer do your thinking for you will lead to hilarious hijinks later on down the line...
>Strife with lusus
Your lusus doesn't so much strife with you as he does embarrass you, with his ideas of LOVE and FRIENDSHIP and TEAMWORK and TANGLEBUDDIES. You do not think these are very trollish ideals. You might have to abdure these antics for a couple of hours.
>Flashback to the incident in question
You've gone too far back. This is not the incident in question.
...this is not a bad thing.
You should probably be someone else for a bit.Last edited by Blank; 10-09-2011 at 08:02 AM.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
>Be the Hierophant.
Why would you want to take up that mantle? You are clearly not religious.
You are Ignius Greeph.
There is very little to entertain your fancy for long in your hive, but it is suitable for your needs at the present. There are no windows here. You have only ever been here to your knowledge and escape is denied by your lusus Henrik; a large worm that seems a bit too protective. All you have learned has been from this worm or your own closely guarded experiences.
One of your few goals is to become a "diplomat". This is a rare job among trolls and it is quite difficult to maintain this position. "Diplomats" you are told, work as the forward scouts of the fleet. They work to appease the races they encounter and propose "peace" with the natives. Whether they are accepted into this "peace" is never a problem as "diplomats" do not speak for the fleet. Being inspected by other races though demands that the selected "diplomat" must never physically have injured another complex, sentient organism. While among other trolls the "diplomat" works to settle disputes between those uninterested in the culling of the offended parties.
It would appear someone is trying to contact you. Unexpected.
This should be prove an acceptable distraction.
Another so soon?
This will probably sort itself out before it requires your attention, best not to think about it really.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
====> Rewind, get some context about there being two teams
That can be arranged.
-- puppetLusus [PL] began trolling doubleGunslinger [DG] --
So right now you're the leader of a dingy little team. That's lovely, yeah.
You suddenly realize that your team is...Goddammit Lewest. And Saskes is still eating the damn chair, but you don't have the energy to stop her.
====> Brood
Sigh...Okay, you guess that it's time to start informing people. But before you do that, you prepare a few...precautions, in case certain players decide to be uncompromising.
And you really should feed Saskes soon, too.
====> Talk to the chariot
Didn't we go over this already? There ARE no chariots!
You decide to talk to Runfar first, since Tiarna isn't online.
-- puppetLusus [PL] began trolling recreantOctopus [RO] --
He really needs to stop believing those silly urban legends. Saskes always nibbles on everything new, it's how she gets to know people! Now then, you should get the hardest part of this whole thing done...
====> Talk to STRENGTH
You mentally berate your stupid thinkpan for making up these weird titles.
-- nitroMerc [NM] began trolling puppetLusus [PL] --
You hate having to resort to things like this. Well, what can you do? One thing's pretty sure now, though: The game is ON.Last edited by Palmu; 10-31-2011 at 01:06 AM.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
>Catch Up
You are now CIRRIN RUNFAR again, some time after you were last seen.
You've just finished working as musclebeast bait for hunters who would just as soon see a lowblood like you get stomped into the ground as claim the prize. It's a dangerous, unglamorous, and poorly paid job. Your life was just in great danger but you try not to think about that. You are just trying to relax, exhausted but still jumpy from adrenaline.
Wait, a highblood is trolling you out of the blue.
Show Pesterlog:
You were not expecting that. Serves you right for leaning back on your rock.
Show Pesterlog
You don't actually trust someone that high up the social ladder, no matter how sweet sounding they are. Not again.
> Tell Someone
You turn against Siskus? Not likely, she is your friend after all and Cucali hardly sounded threatening. In fact it sounded like Siskus had the upper hand! You troll her up.
Show Pesterlog:
So, you'll be fakey fake friends with Cucali for now and let her tell you any plans she has against Siskus. There's no way this could possibly blow up in your face.
Poor choice of words.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
>Be Lunaro again, I guess. Maybe show us how you ended up in this game or something.
You are once again LUNARO CELESI though you are not to happy with the enthusiasm level of that command. Come on! You're an enthusiastic guy! You should be commanded with FEELING! How can you be expected to SAVE THE PLANET like you've always dreamed of if you can't even have enough emotion in a simple comma-- Oh hey someone's trolling you.
Oh! It's Elpiza! Gosh, you love talking with her. She's like your best friend... And you may or may not be PALECRUSHING on her pretty hard, heh.
>Lunaro: Answer Elpiza.
Oh gosh she typed <> that was totally a <> you are so HAPPY RIGHT NOW! Maybe you should troll her again and ask if this means you're official? No no, don't want to seem to eager, you've got to just play it cool, let this happen.
Right, cool.
So cool.
...
You decide to go invite your Matesprit! Which is in no way a thing you are doing to keep yourself from trolling Elpiza again. Not at all. Nope.
>Lunaro: Invite yo women.
>Suddenly, PERSPECTIVE SWITCH!
Woah what?
>Be Solena, I mean.
Oh okay, sure.
You are now once again SOLENA LUMIAR. Sitting at your desk and nightdreaming about that totally gnarly swell you just all up and hit. I mean damn, that was just so sweet. The levels of sweet that that swell was in possession of were simply delirious biznasty. So choice dawg. And now you're gonna play some sorta gnarly team game or some shiz like that? This night doesn't stop getting radder.
Oh hey, someone's all up and trolling your radical self. Bodacious.
Haha oh man, you love talking to this guy. He never fails to put a smile on your face. He's just so funny! There's no way he could be serious, he's way too over the top. He trolls you at least once every few nights, always with the same silly question. I mean, you, a laughsassin? The notion is just so out there and silly, hehe!
Like you said, this night just gets better and better! =:D
>Solena's buzz: Be killed.
How could something like that hap-- Huh?
Oh.
Not this guy again...
Oh man, you do not like talking to this guy. At all. He always makes you just a little bit uncomfortable. Saying weird, cryptic stuff that you always feel has an inkling of truth to it, which makes it even worse.
You decide to turn off your husktop for now, maybe go polish your SURFBOARD or watch some TROLLER RANGERS o--
Or not.
Let's be someone else for a while.Last edited by acrylicArsenal; 12-15-2011 at 08:08 PM.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
==> Be the Priestess
Frankly, you don't even know who this green-haired pink-skinned woman is, and you don't really care to know. Let's get serious, silly!
You are now BAHARI NAVALE, and you are currently thinking about leaving to wander! This time you will be sure to leave at night when it's safe, due to constant nagging by your moirail. Everyone just ruins all of the fun! Speaking of fun, you simply cannot wait until this new game comes out that everyone is in such a huge hype over! Let's see, when did you first find out about this game?

-- doubleGunslinger [DG] ceased pestering abstruseContradiction [AC] at 21:12 --
Oh, that's right! Flynnt got you into this whole thing! How could you possibly forget that? Oh, and while you were at it, you decided to sign your moirail up for the game too! Antipo is sure to be pleased and oh speak of the devil!

He may seem angry but you know that he's just angry all of the time. He's actually quite content with this whole thing, you are sure of it. Now that that's done with, time to lea-! Oh look, someone's trying to speak with you! Let's see who it is..

Hmm, you don't very much like that fellow. He is keeping much too many secrets for himself. Oh well, you got a secret of his in return, so the trade is fair, you suppose. Oh wow what great timing, it looks like your matesprit is contacting you! You'd better tell him about this!
-- doubleGunslinger [DG] began pestering abstruseContradiction [AC] at 19:47 --
-- doubleGunslinger [DG] ceased pestering abstruseContradiction [AC] at 20:59 --
Hmm there's another one of these Watchers, too? You will definitely have a lot to think about when you go out for a swim! Speaking of which, you're going to go right now before anyone else decides to talk to you!

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
> Be Temperance.
Although you are quite temperate, your name is actually KATEIA SOPHRO.
At the present moment, you are searching the area around your hive for more BATTLE RELICS, although you are beginning to wonder if the old battlefield on which your hive was built has been tapped out of such treasures. Certainly your investigations have been taking you farther and farther away from the hive itself and into wilder territory, and as a result you’ve been increasingly interested in the places themselves. Any interesting objects you find are merely bonuses now, but that doesn’t mean that you aren’t keeping an eye out for them.
>Kateia: Be pestered by the Emperor.
You don’t have time to wonder about who this “Emperor” troll is, because a WILD HOWLBEAST appears! You’re forced to dispatch it with a few swipes of your scythe.
>Kateia: Now answer the Emperor.
What Emperor? The troll pestering you is actually your friend FLYNNT, who had recently invited you to play this new game called SGRUB. You’re still not quite sure what’s going on with this game; maybe he has some new information about it.
==>
Well…damn. You’re not entirely sure what to think about this. In your experience, dead trolls have always stayed that way. But you hadn’t actually seen him die, so…
Wait. You’re being pestered by someone with an unfamiliar trolltag. Could it be…?
>Kateia: Flash back to the incident in question.
You’d…rather not. How’s about being someone else for a bit, kay?I will explode in your face.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
==> Be the fool
[S]==> No no, that's an idiot. I meant THE FOOL.The one who dislikes doorknobs.
Good thing you specified the doorknobs. Anyway, you are now KAJOLE.
It's another day at your house. That gloomy place you call a lair, and sometimes, you call a lab. Dead bodies of robbers are scattered all over the place, since you forgot to clean them up this month.
Did I mentioned? Your house is full of traps. Poision gas, guillotines, all of this stuff. You are an inventor, and people try to steal your work every day. This is just routine for you.
Yep, another boring day. As you walk through your guillotine hallway, admiring how people manage to somehow get hit by those guilottines, you hear a weird sound coming from upstairs. Your lusus wouldn't be back that soon with the food, and you don't remember leaving any experiments on your room.
It could only mean one thing: Someone was calling you. After AGES. Maybe it wouldn't be just another boring day after all.
You rush upstairs to check it. The guillotines barely even scratch your clothes. Damm those things are SLOW.
Your room was close. the computer, even closer. You took a glass of antidote from your pocket, because you know, you should aways bring antidotes with you. This one was for the sleep gas that was sprayed on your face as soon as you entered the room. You love that thing, it smells like strawberry, and never allows you to have those insomnia nights.
Regardless, you took the antidote before even entering the room, so you wouldn't fall asleep on the ground. and, just as fast, you checked your computer.
Trollian was flashing.
An old friend of yours was talking to you.
==>The game.
And now we just lost it. THANKS BUDDY.
==>I meant play the game, dumbass.
Oh.Right.
You wonder what this game will be about. Sure looks fun, and as you said, you need new ideas for your project.
==>Get back to work
You try to get back to work, but you start to feel dizzy... something is not wright.
==>Take a look at the empty antidote bottle
You take a closer look at the bottle of antidote you just drank. Turns out, you drank the wrong antidote. Fool.
I guess it can't.... be... hel-
You pass out.Last edited by ShadTK; 11-20-2011 at 03:25 PM.

Re: Arcanasealed(IC)
>Be JUSTICE once more.
You are once again Cephus Stenek. At the moment you've organized all your info about the game neatly onto a board with totally accurate theories. Paranoid? Okay, who told you that, that is slander, right there. You just like to be in-depth when you research things, especially mysterious and strange things. This game seems awfully suspicious to you.
>Examine non-paranoia based theories.
You've been going around the alternianet, but so far you've found absolutely jack shit about this game, aside from the fact that it's multiplayer. Personally, you feel that this is probably some trap from high up in the hemospectrum, because highbloods are always trolls who want to trip up and cull some poor lowblood, of course.
... okay, that might be a biased theory. But you are absolutely certain that there's something fishy about this!
>Draw.
You doodle over the pictures of the players.
That was productive.
>Interrogate-- I mean, contact the next guy on your list.
-- peripateticMeddler [PM] began pestering transientMediator [TM] at 16:35 --
-- transientMediator [TM] ceased pestering peripateticMeddler [PM] at 16:39 --
... you? A singer. Ha! That's the most hilarious thing you've ever heard.
Well, that certainly was an interesting conversation. You might have to chat again with him in the near future to worm some more info out of him. You make a mark on your board next to his picture.
>Warmly greet lusus.
You can't warmly greet Mothdad because he's busy patrolling the area as discreetly as he can. He doesn't enjoy it at all and in the rare moments he comes home, he expresses his displeasure with a few smacks on your head.
You can't say you blame him. If you kept your mouth shut you'd still have a nice hive and your voice.
>Recollect how you lost your voice.
You can't, because you're being pestered by your employer!
Seiska's one of those few highbloods who's actually decent. The whole saving your life thing helps with that. Not to mention the fact that she's pretty much your only steady source of employment.
But anyway, enough exposition. You got some more digging to do. Hopefully, by the end of the night, you'll have enough information to piece this puzzle together.IT'S A DOUBLE MOBIUS RAINBOW.
fanchars and whatnot available on pesterchum. give me a poke if you'd like to talk to them.

Ah well, you get the feeling that, despite being on a different team from him, you'll be talking to Tursun a lot in the future.
Which is fine with you, since he seems like a very likeable sort-

You decide that you'll never meet any of the other people that will be playing this game if you don't get a move on.

-- neuroticProvision [NP] ceased pestering replicateHope [RH] --
Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh.
Did you completely mess that up or is it just you?
You really hope you didn't offend Miss Elpiza who is quite clearly a highblood and not a lowblood like yourself.
Still, you aren't quite sure what to make of the highbloods you've spoken to lately. Between Miss Solena and Miss Elpiza, they've been rather kind to you.
Certainly unlike the ones that sent you out into that desert...
Not that you blame them, they were completely in the right to tell you what to do, really!
Yes, you absolutely believe this and would never harm the trolls that teased you and sent you walking for three hours, expecting you to be killed.
Mostly because you got to meet Flynnt, but still.
Why, if those trolls ever showed up at your hive, you'd great them with kindness and civility!
