Vitally Frivolous

[K25fF]

> Orange, GM



A rather grouchy young lass stands in her room of repose.

Did you say grouchy? She's not grouchy, she's tired.

And grouchy.

She is a rather mechanically minded person, and her room is a bit more cluttered than our neat-freak.

What is her name?

>Forget orange and blue! Choose that shadowy dude/girl with the cape! YOU CANNOT RESIST THE PULL OF AN AWESOME CAPE

Unfortunately, the cape and person attached were too weak, but they grow ever stronger... I will not be able to resist them for long.

[K25fF]

>Enter name.
Lumina Fraggan



Your name is LUMINA FRAGGAN and you are currently REALLY TIRED and therefore GROUCHY, so let's get this over with QUICKLY.

You deeply enjoy working with MACHINERY and tend to also dabble in ROBOTICS, which is a more specific branch of machinery, although you DETEST COMPUTING, which stems from an INCIDENT when you were younger.You have other INTRESTS, but you cannot be bothered to mention them at the moment.

You have recently been distributing a GAME to your fellows, a GAME your PROPHETIC DREAMS indicate will end the world, and GOOD RIDDANCE, as far as you're concerned.

Today, the last of your TEAMMATES will have recieved it, and the GAME CAN BEGIN.

Talking of dream prophecies, you're really TIRED. Did you mention that already?

Eat the wires from your computer

[Shadow Phoenix]

Okay you know you'll have to spill out the incident. So get rid of this burden already and move forward

[K25fF]

>Eat the wires from your computer.
>Spill the beans on the incident.



No!

Computers are horrible and toxic anyway. The stuff in the wires isn't especially toxic, but you can't be too cautious. You wouldn't get any part of a computer in your mouth, you've had bad experiences with computers.

Let's just say 'the incident' was horrible and nasty and an accident and you had to have one of your hands sewn back on by your friend with illusions of surgery. It was rather traumatising, especially since you had to grow a new eye. And a few other internal organs that don't grow back like eyes, but the aforementioned friend somehow 'aquired' some spares. You didn't ask.

Did you know that in this species' language, the word 'Surgeon' and 'Butcher' are effectively the same words?

Examine cheese sitting on your desk.

Ezenr's a Hero of Breath. Also, his land has harp-scythes. Land of Blades and Melody?

[Vrow]

>Examine Poster

[portman320]

>Examine items on desk

[K25fF]

>Examine poster.



Basically, this is a poster that says 'Machines'.
And no, you're not getting to see the back. It is important notes. Not any mushy poems. Really.



>Examine desk cheese items.



Unfortunately, your desk has no cheese on it.
A simple variable-size spanner/wrench thing, your preferred weapon. And a bunch of other simple things you might have made yourself. And why've you moved the table away from the wall for this?

A friend is now annoyingly contacting you. Which one?

Unfortunately no, he's not a hero of breath, and if you want another clue, what other character has had a music-related land? You'll find out soon enough what his title is, I think. Unless this adventure drags on for about six thousand years before any plot gets done, but how likely is that? (Very likely.)

[Jacquerel]

Your least favourite one

[WhyPurpleWhy]

the one who you secretly like.

[gumbal1]

Capeman. Capeman is pestering you.

[K25fF]

>Your least favourite, secretly admired capeman.



Those three apply to the same person, oddly enough.

Note: those attributes all applied to the same person before you suggested them. You are all psychic.

Well, that put you in the perfect frame of mind for sleeping.

It's lucky that that jerk doesn't inhabit the moon you inhabit when you sleep, or he'd have some gigantic imaginary bruises.

The tendrils of your SLEEPMAT start to wrap around you as you contemplate what you'll do on the moon.

What will you do, anyway?

[portman320]

[gumbal1]

Try to wake # up.

Oh, okay, Time hero. The clouds in the background reminded me of the Breath symbol, but the Melody and red associations should've tipped me off.

[TheFinalWraith]

Be stabbed by Jack Noir.

[K25fF]

>Be stabbed by Jack Noir.

Jack Noir is not available for stabbing purposes right now.

If you want to organise a stabbing, or feel that a stabbing could occur in your area, please contact him after the game starts, or leave a message after the tone.

>Beeeeeeeep<


>Jump up and down and cluck like a chicken.



That sounds demeaning.

What's a chicken?


>Try to wake # up.
>Meet some Carapacians who will most definitely not be important later in the story, no sir.



You head off to find your compatriot's quarters.
Wheeeeee!



He's not there!

The gentleman explains that the Thief has gone missing, and no-one can find him.

Possibly stolen!

[Jacquerel]

Grill him for information
Possibly literally?

[TheFinalWraith]

Is it possible that the person just happened to wake up and go exploring?

[whimsicalGuru]

>Ask the inhabitants of this strange place about the possible whereabouts of the thief! SOMEONE must have seen him....
Oh wait.... he said that nobody can find him.... which means everyone is already looking!
Scratch that....
>Think about where this thief might have gone... and follow your instincts?

[K25fF]

>Ask questions/grill for information.



Unfortunately, the gentleman knows nearly nothing about where the Thief went, only that he is gone. Normally he comes up every now and then to see whether the Thief is asleep, but this time he is gone without the usual note!
FOUL PLAY MUST BE INVOLVED, only you suspect there isn't.


>Is it possible that the person just happened to wake up and go exploring?
>Just think about where he's gone.



Very possible. This guy was awake for ages before you awoke, and has spent ages just wandering around outside his peculiar residence, thieving stuff in his sleep from the temple near his home.
Normally he stays near his tower and leaves occasionally to wander around.
In fact, there he is, now. Where did this thing come from?

You'll never find him now. This is the annoying part of being the second awake, he knows where all the hiding spots are.

She'll never find you once you get to a hiding place.
