EQUIQUEST: 2010: CON YA DIGGIT? (COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!(say like kahn))

[Weather Report]

There is me and a sister who created the idea originally but was too shy to make an account.

There is me and a sister who created the idea originally but was too shy to make an account.

Who does what art?

[Weather Report]

Well, most of my sis' pictures are done with the pencil tool, while I like to use the brush tool more often than not. She also did most of the more gaggy, tiny Eq. panels or ones with incredibly sharp chins, so after a little while you can tell who drew what.

Also we may be having some friends add in art sometimes, and they will be credited.

But the fact of the matter still stands:

What should Equius do to smash the cruxite mirror?

[greenMachine]

(note: I only know anything about HomeStuck past the first flash from forum adventures)

>Equius used Horn Drill!
>It's not very effective...

>Build a gun out of random junk (you don't have much time!). Shoot at mirror.

[OrangeAipom]

"punch it :3"
"D --> I already tried that"

"tRY BURNING IT,"
"..."

"youre in a tower
"let gravity do the work
"drop it like its hot"

[Naristar]

Step on it
Or throw it to the ground!!

[Trish]

Oh no. Nobody told ME, the aforementioned SISTER, to make an account. What are you even doing, Weather Report -- bein' my BROTHER? Oh, well, anyway, I have an account now, and stuff. This is me. Yeah, I guess.

Weather Report's done most of the art for the story. He even did Agatha Proirot. However, I created Deathstuck 2: Notestuck and Terezi's Jonas Brothers fan fiction. And that makes all the difference.

[Trish]

And here comes a post that's part-bump, part-demonstration of our 10% mastery of .gif-making and uploading. This animation with be included in the flash page SEQUENTIAL ART SEQUENCE. Expect the next update to arrive this weekend, today or tomorrow.

[OrangeAipom]

Mind if I mirror this?

[Weather Report]

We'd love that! Although a couple of issues may arise:

1. Older pages don't all have images (which we can handle in a few dayz)

2. The next fat post will be a large spoilered thing full of images and an embedded youtube video. Would that be possible to stick into the page, or would it get complicated? (the vid will be this'n: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ide-Au9o4hs )

Once again thank you, and if any of these things would get in the way of a mirroring, then poke us or something.

[Weather Report]

Alright now cowpokes, we're come up with the absolute worst way to convey flash-like ambitions:

FLESH PEDGE 1.

We just embedded a song, and then you click on the youtube box, let it work its magyks, and then you read while you listen. This is a gigantic, long thing of pictures, and that's why we've spoilered it for convenience.

We don't have flash and we don't have original songs. This isn't even supposed to hit the full length of the song by any means, either. That works completely with the lo-quality work of our story. In fact, it makes it... seem like it was a huge waste of time to even attempt this sort of thing

We'll try to learn from this and smooth out more when they decide to happen. For now, boogie.

[OrangeAipom]

They can see Equius break the glass?

[Weather Report]

We are attempting to fix that now, thanks for bringing that to our attention. It shows up fine on the computer here, so we couldn't tell if there was an issue.

And also yeah, the character kids can see everything that's going on because they're on MSPA.com and insane troll logic happens.

FINAL NOTE: Just now edited the flesh pedge with a link leading to the gif itself. It'll work for now.

[OrangeAipom]

Yay I'm updating the mirror.

Equis contact Aradia!
"Now what?"

Or time to be someone else

(also that was awsome Good job!! +9000 for creativity!)

Oh guys, I just wanted to say I'm adding a couple of creds to the front post and I've edited that horrible GIF in the last fat post. Thank you again OrangeAipom, we are thrilled that we've got a mirror when we've not even been going a full month! Naristar, thank you for your post and for being so super-active in the story! Well, here's stuff.

Also we'll fill in all the pictures at the beginning within the coming days.

> Equius: Talk to Aradia.



Damn was that suspenseful and boy can your fingers bleed. Well, time
to talk to the boss! You try not to mind that sickly blue blood smearing the keys.

DAVE: ill walk you home in that case
ARADIA: please go away andrew

You rush toward the door, determined. You're a little sick of hearing your classmates bicker, especially Dave. Oh dear god Dave. In that way, at least, it'll be good to get some fresh air.

[Naristar]

ARADIA: please go away Andrew

Bwahahaha!!
Sollux should message Andrew and try to get the "REAL" story
(I have a feeling this might end horribly)
Aradia should get wind of this and try to talk him out of it

[OrangeAipom]

> Aradia: Recall the time you were forced to consume canned bread.

[greenMachine]

This adventure continues to be awesome.

Also, of course canned bread is horrible. Squidward likes it! Thus, it is horrible by extension.
Sure, that episode probably came out after that thread was made...but that's beside the point.

>Sollux: Call the Police. Tell them what you know. Get fed up after a few of their songs, and then just call the police.

And for the next victim child: Get your principal involved, the rest of the gang together, and then kick photoshopped ninja butt (because obviously there are like 6 of them in Andrew's room).

[Weather Report]

> Sollux: Message Andrew to try and get the "real" story.



There's no way he'd give you the truth so easily. Heading out, however, you decide to send Andrew a mesage denoting your arrival. You've always known he was capable of kidnapping people and whisking them away into different dimensions...you just hoped he wouldn't. Now it's time to get down to business.

Andrew iim comiing over 2o ii can 2how you how much you really 2uck. you better be ready 2 take out my liil friiend Equiiu2 and learn 2 be hii2 bii2ch or 2ome2iing 2 make up for 2ii2 me2.

There. Hope these huge, dripping layers of sarcastic typing get to him the way you want them to...



OH MY GOD WHAT DID YOU JUST SEND?? SOMEHOW 2UCK SOUNDS LIKE FUCK FOR SOME REASON! YOU ARE NOT OVERREACTING!! FUCKING TYPING QUIRK SARCASM PRODUCED ONE HUGE MISTAKE AND LIKE TWO HUNDRED ACCIDENTAL INNUENDOS! YOU ARE SICK TO YOUR STOMACH!!

========>



No, no. You need to try and stay cool. It's okay if 2uck can be misinterpreted as fuck. You need your composure if you're gonna take Andrew down once and for all. He can't be allowed to mess with your buddies anymore

Your name is SOLLUX HUSSIE and you have sort of a PRONOUNCED LI2P, but you are taking large strides in OVERCOMING IT. You've sort of been RAISED by your older cousin Andrew, by way of him leaving FOOD and BILL MONEY mysteriously on the counter while you wonder where your parents went (you know what, they were probably killed by Andrew).

You try hard to take care of your troubled twin ARADIA, who has a lot more PERSONAL PROBLEMS than you do. In your spare time you try your hardest to IGNORE ANDREW and all the WEIRD THINGS HE DOES (until tonight, obviously). You really haven't learned any other way to live. It's a bit SAD NOW THAT YOU REALIZE IT.

All Andrews aside, you have managed to scrape out a few interests in your slightly depressing life. You enjoy GARAGE BANDS and their TRADEMARK FLANNEL SHIRTS. In addition you like virtually all flavors of music, but have a penchant for RETRO GAME MUSIC and, you know what, 80'S MUSIC IN GENERAL. You enjoy listening to a good track while sobbing to yourself late at night, sometimes even while playing a MEGA MAN game. You have played and loved every single one of those babies, up to and including the latest stupid spinoffs. But, for some reason, you can't get into MEGA MAN X. You wonder why. Maybe it's because you just don't like that ZERO guy. Maybe it's the fact that the game's plot is almost like FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE. Or it could be-

Screw it! You're done with introductions! This is just a REALLY BIG WASTE OF TIME. You need to get moving ASAP.

You suddenly feel this music overcome you from the depths of memory. The streets are slowly emptying out as the sun sinks over the horizon. Wistufl tears well up in your eyes. It's fitting, in a way; a tune from a game you actually quite enjoyed, called Mother 3, in which a boy- sorry- a boy...

You have a definite feeling you won't be seeing this place again.



Across the block you spot your good friends Karkat and Feferi and damnit you can't see them like this. The tears don't stop coming. You really hope your friends will be alright. Especially Aradia.

> Aradia: Try and talk him out of it.



It's a little late for that! For one thing, he's already left, and what did you do? Hang back like a coward, hardly saying anything. And for another, your phone has already been demolished by way of you hurling it at another threatening Andrew. The thing is, you'd call him if you could remember any phone numbers besides Andrew-andrew-andrew...you get the gist of it.

> Aradia: Borrow John's phone or something.



Borrow Andrew's phone?

Oh crap, you can definitely feel another sudden Andrew Hussie panic attack coming on! It must be the stress of having your brother leave you! Look, your classmates' faces are already starting to morph!

> Aradia: Recall the time you were forced to consume canned bread.



You can't help but remember it; ANDREW ATTACKS like this typically come with some unpleasantmemory as baggage. It's just a fact of life. You can do this.

...That's right, the LAST time you crossed Andrew (by taking a couple of DUBBLE BUBBL BUBBLE GUMS out of a jar clearly labeled 'Andy's Candies Don't Touch'), he got wise to it quick. Within moments he had replaced all of your food with canned bread.

Canned bread, canned bread.

Two solid months of canned bread.

Canned bread, canned bread.

You couldn't help it, no other food in the house.

Canned bread, canned bread.

He forgot to leave you any money for shopping! OR DID HE

Canned bread. Canned bread.

You didn't even have a can opener, or enough money to buy one. You're just lucky that your teeth survived the ordeal.

You can barely imagine what might happen this time...

> Sollux: Call the police. Tell them what you know. Then get your principal involved, the rest of the gang together, and together you can kick photoshopped ninja butt (because there are probably like 6 of them in Andrew's room).



Believe it or not, you've seen Andrew's room before, and you know what? You do not really think he has any ninjas hiding in there. He's more like a one-man army, if you had to guess. A lone wolf, y'know?

As much as you would love to call the coppers up and hear a little Cop Rock-styled musical number...no, that's just not possible.

Well, you'll explain it to you. Andrew Hussie isn't just your mysterious school-stalking guardian-type figure; he's also Houston's youngest governor. He's grown insanely popular in this town, too, for things like protecting the national park systems, destroying cancer with spermicidal jelly, and restarting the entire space program single-handedly. The police, teachers, parent...pretty much everyone around you is on his side. And even working together with your friends against him, what would that accomplish, thinking realistically about it? Judging by the speed with which he avoids detection during his bouts of espionage, i.e. the incalculable speed of an eye moving toward the window, his powers are beyond everyone's scope. The best they can do is hope Equius doesn't die. Again, speaking realistically, of course.



TL,DR; Andrew Hussie is literally untouchable.

Okay, here we go folks.
1. I added in some pictures that our friend PAVLOVE created for yesterday's post, which involve an amazingly drawn Aradia and canned bread. Go back and fondly regard them NOW.

2. YES!! Wolftamer/YAMAZAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII found the Gin Tama joke! Now we just need somebody to decode the Apple Girlington reference.

3. Aw shit, first OrangeAipom, then Mibbs. We're totally taking Troll Session's (Seasson?) fanbase by storm. I'm starting to fear a counterattack here.

> Sollux and Aradia: Flip the Fuck Out x2 Combo.



> Andrew: Go and pick up your little cousin Aradia



You don't get to tell Andrew what to do. He is beyond you.

Besides, Aradia is perfectly capable of walking back home in the city by herself in the dark at night without getting molested.

> Karkat: Go up and bug Sollux.



No can do right now, because you're too busy bothering your good classmate and friends Feferi Peixes. You've been crying on her shoulder all afternoon, you can't stop now. Plus, Sollux may be your metaphorical BRO, but he would never let you onto his problems. He'll get all evasive and defensive and stuff.

Oh and by they way as long as you're you you'd just like to mention a few other things about yourself.

> Karkat: Shut UP man, we never asked for your BE KARKAT page.



OKAAAY. IF YOU SAY SOOO.

You are KARKAT VANTAS and you LOVE those HIP NEW AGE BANDS such as FALL OUT BOY. You could spend a whole HOUR talking to Sollux about them. You plan to follow a career as a SURGEON. Oh, and also, you really like NEWSPAPER COMICS. GARFIELD is your homie.

Also you hate that stupid fathead girl TEREZI PYROPE and her JONAS BROTHERS FETISH-INSPIRED WARBLING. It DISGUSTS you! Terezi is such a bully, too!

But goodness is Fef such a good listener! Nobody else lets you talk about your Terez-hate for so long. She is such a good friend.

> Feferi: Hang with your boyfriend.



Tee hee! He's not yor boyfriend -- not yet at least! You know he will be yours eventually. Or some boy will. Anyone will do, preferrably soon. You two spent your time after school at the SO much more adult than Chuck E. Cheese's MICKEY D'S and talked about your feelings -- well, Karkat's, mostly. But no matter. He will (maybe) be your bone-fide Texan man soon enough.

> Karkat: Go on about your feelings.

KARKAT: So then she goes on about the Jonas Brothers for, what, an hour?
FEFERI: Who, Terezi?
KARKAT: God, yes! Who else could it be?
KARKAT: So then I tell her to, like, not talk about them!
FEFERI: And then she keeps going?
KARKAT: MY GOD, YES! SHE JUST WON'T STOP!
KARKAT: It's as if she's some sort of, of...dumb, idiot person thing.
FEFERI: Maybe if I ask her POLIT----ELY, she'll OBLIG----E!
KARKAT: Nah, don't get too excited about it. it's not your issue or anything.
KARKAT: And then she just keeps making fun of me for wanting to be a doctor whenever I say something about the Jonas Brothers...
KARKAT: I mean, that's not even related. That's an actual job. Terezi has no future aspirations, except, I dunno, fan fiction.
KARKAT: The bottom line is...it just hurts, you know? And that's funny because...I wanna heal people.
KARKAT: Do you...get me?
FEFERI: HA HA HA HA HE------------E!

...Okay, no. You seriously have no idea why she's laughing like this. But, you know...it's good to let someone know about this stuff. Even if she laughs, she also listens.
