Quartetgrouped - The game begins in earnest

[Curris]

Consider compiling your Poetry into a book. Plan to sell copies of it in the future! Daydream of the Lifestyles of the Fabulously Wealthy. . .

Sam ==> Retrieve eyelids from drawer.

[cryptidWrangler]

>SEEK FOOD.

[Lazro]

>Sam: Burn bedsheets.

[Legendary]

Sam: Read us your poetry.


You don't have to read it to anyone, it's right here!

You're really bad at POETRY, to be honest, specifically anything AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE LINES.

Sam: Open drawers and retrieve eyelids.


Why would anyone keep their eyelids in a drawer? Yours are on your face, SHIT-FOR-BRAINS. What you keep in your CHEST OF DRAWERS is spare clothing, mostly. You can't wear the same thing every day!

Sam: Eat/burn bedsheets.


The number of WEIRD THOUGHTS you're having today is mindboggling.

[Jolt]

Leave room

[ashdenej]

Reflect on the fact that you're not just bad at poetry after the first few lines. You're bad at poetry whenever.

>Have cow hit window from nearby tornado.

[leodawn]

sam: ==>kick the door down like an action star and proceed to the kitchen

[Lazro]

>Sam: Give us a general map of your house.

[Superdog]

Abscond from the bedroom after checking behind that other door for monsters.

[Legendary]

Sam: Give us a map of your house.


It's a small house and to be frank your room is supposed to be more like a LIVING ROOM or something. The KITCHEN pulls TRIPLE DUTY; preparing food, being a place to eat food, and having a WONDERFUL (read: OLD and USELESS) COMPUTER. You're not sure why you specified the lack of monsters, but you guess you had a REASON.

Which room shall you PROCEED to?

[Curris]

Use the Restroom (Non illustrated). It's important to get that stuff out of the way. You never know when you'll need to do so, but not have the opportunity. . .

Do you have a Television?

[ashdenej]

>Suddenly notice the STUFFED MONSTERS in the hall. Those monsters!

[Naristar]

flood the bathroom!

[cryptidWrangler]

>To the kitchen!

[Lazro]

>SAMM:PALY ONS TEH COMPUTORR!

[leodawn]

sam: ==> realize that you have not eaten in the last ten seconds and could die of starvation

[Legendary]

Just wanted to let everyone know that today and tomorrow are not looking good for updates. I have a guest and am trying to be an excellent host.

[Jolt]

>To the Kitchen!

Another way to get more readers: give the adventure a Homestuck-related title, e.g. "Quartetstuck; A simple little game of SBurb". Some people don't check out forum adventures unless they have Homestuck related titles, because they're not interested in the many non-Homestuck-based adventures.

Some people don't check out adventures with Homestuck-related titles, but they won't be interested in a SBurb adventure anyway.

Actually, most seasoned readers leave behind HS-related titles.

Once you've seen one, you've seen em' all.

I don't think "most" is true for that. Anyway, it's more of a "truth in advertising" thing: people who want Sburbventures will go for HS-type names, people who don't will avoid them.

Sam: Open closet.


What closet? This is clearly a BATHROOM, and while it's possible that could change in the future, it's likely that any such thing will be HIGHLY IMPROBABLE. Still though, it's important not to rule these things out entirely.

Sam: Use restroom.


Yeah uh... Hmm.

We'll say that happened. And that, more importantly, we can PRETEND that you don't have a BLADDER for the rest of this adventure. If you really have to go, you will DISCREETLY escape to the side and take care of BUSINESS between panels, okay?

>Wonder why you have a pot of ink on your shirt.

Peruse reading material on bathroom end table.
