Quartetgrouped - The game begins in earnest

[Legendary]

Sam: Quickly consume all mints in sylladex.


That will prove to be quite difficult because unless you can offer a NEW ITEM to your GIVE-AND-TAKE SYLLADEX, it will not be possible to retrieve anything from it. That is the downside of this otherwise FUNCTIONAL SYLLADEX. Oh, that and the fact that you only have FIVE CARDS to work with. But hopefully that will be enough for you. It's not like you'll ever need to be holding lots of items or anything.

Sam: Annoy EE until he gives you more information.


Well... ANNOYING him would be rude. But you'll give him a few all-important nudges. Maybe ask if he's the one who sent you that WEIRD MESSAGE too.

NN: Sorry!
NN: I was asleep. It's only seven here.
EE: Washington is so far behind.
EE: (ome to NY(. You won't be asleep when important people are trying to get ahold of you.

NN: I will 6e dropping 6y any day now.
NN: More importantly, I would love to play this game.
NN: 6ut you 6etter 6e sure it's playable!
EE: I am. I would have told you sooner, but my (ousin ki(ked me off the (omp for awhile.
EE: He wanted me to beat him in a fight.
EE: Anyway, we gotta play today.
EE: It's wholesomeEdu(ator's last hurrah.
NN: Okay! Send me the link?
EE: http://www.skaianetonline.com/freetrial/client.exe
EE: Lemme know when you're done.
NN: Sure!
NN: One last thing...
NN: I got this weird message today.
NN: The computer said it was me, 6ut in the future!
NN: Do you know what's up with that?
EE: No?
EE: Weird though.
EE: I gotta go for a bit.
EE: Send me a text when your download is (omplete.

>Open file "dumbpoems"

[vengeanceCreed]

Sam requires something to occupy large amounts of time until her next relevant plot point.

> Sam: Be the blue-text guy while you hunt down Grandma for hugs!

[ComiTurtle]

> Screech like a howler monkey and climb to the top of the fridge.

(I promise that in the future I'll suggest productive stuff.)

[ashdenej]

>Curses! The paradox was not averted.

Now you must destroy your computer even harder than before!

Why it needs the random!

Start the download

[Curris]

Select the Search for More Buddies options. Add yourself. It might be useful to know via a third party verification, when you are online. . .

Sam: Begin download.


This could take awhile. Even though the files are apparently playable by just about ANY MACHINE, they still have a byte count that is HIGHER THAN ZERO. And if there's one kind of file your computer sucks at DOWNLOADING, it's downloading files with more than one-eighth of a byte.

Sam: Be EE while you wait.


Whoa there buddy. This CHARACTER SELECT screen exists on your otherwise-unexplored MENU for a reason. And while you do know his SYMBOL now, he still is not available to play at this time. Curses.

You will just have to wait until EE is ready to be controlled, which isn't any time soon! He's not even AWARE that there's a possibility he could be controlled. I have to break it to him GENTLY.

Sam: Hunt down Grandma for hugs.


Another stroke of LUCK! She happens to have just walked into the KITCHEN right now. Your HUNT is over as it began.

She asks what you're doing on the COMPUTER so early. She's not angry, just a little surprised.

[Kroked]

TACKLE HUG!!!

[mysticCharlatan]

TACKLE HUG!!!

Just how durable she now? If she can handle it, seconded.

[Legendary]

Sam: TACKLE-HUG!!!


Oh my god that's reprehensible! You might break her BONES or other IMPORTANT THINGS inside of her, like ORGANS. Instead you calmly approach her and hug her GOOD MORNING, like a civilized teenager.

She repeats her question about what you're doing on the COMPUTER this early in the morning.

[Jolt]

>Ignore question, captchalogue microwave for mint... Oh! And thank Grandama for the present.

[Kroked]

explain calmly why your on the computer, and tell her about the weird message you received from your future self

[Superdog]

Captchalogue Grandma

[vengeanceCreed]

>Ignore question, captchalogue microwave for mint... Oh! And thank Grandama for the present.

Seconded.

[ashdenej]

>Warn her about messages from the future.

Tell her to never go outside again.

[GrisHarlequin]

>She'll probably get mad if you tell her that you left it on all night long...

Say you wanted to talk with your friends so they could wish you a happy b-day.1

[WhyPurpleWhy]

>suggest a bonding activity. perhaps sewing?

[Naristar]

tell her you were checking the net for coupons so that they could make the most of the shopping money
and that youre Really Hungery

[PriffyViole]

> "Just checking to see if anyone remembered my birthday this time."

[Legendary]

So this was going to be a surprise, but since I suck I'll just say it straight out: Flash is a thing this time around, and I am trying to make one now. Expect an update then.

[Superdog]

[Legendary]

NEWS UPDATE: Flash is really, really hard.

But I think I'm almost there.

[Naristar]

Onward then to victory and sweet animations for the masses!

[ashdenej]

(I hear that Ledge is doing a fifteen-minute animation, set to both Cascade and Descend. Boy oh boy!)
