dont be rude, shake his hand

[reflectiveRhino]

> Give him a firm handshake all professional-like

[ah2190]

> Krista: Don't be rude, and give him a firm handshake all professional-like

You take and shake LE's hand. His grip is firm, but not too firm. After a couple of pumps, you let go. LE returns to the pump, making sure to keep an eye on it.

All of a sudden, you spot a strange butterfly fly onto you, landing on your arm for a moment to rest before flying off. This will possibly have no revelence to the pl...

Oh, great. Your head feels like it's going to explode. You quickly pop back into the shuttle, and sit down.


> LE: Grin evily

Why would you do that? You are just a normal pump attendant, and you were one for most, if not all of your life. However, you do squish a beetle which is currently on the pavement.


> Ah2190: Perspective change

Alright, I think we can safely leave Krista alone for now. So, just wait one moment while I get this ready...


You are now Sollux Captor.

You are apeshit bananas at computers, and you know ALL THE CODES. All of them. While all your friends recognize your unparalleled achievements as a TOTALLY SICK HACKER, you feel like you could be much better, which often leads to you BEATING YOURSELF UP for NO REAL REASON WHATSOEVER. Although today, you had a really good reason: one of your BEST HACKING BUDDIES was forced to play SPERB, and didn't make it through in time before the meteor hit his DORM HOUSE. The whole of New Inatodai, with the exception of Inatodai High, is basicly a gridload of DORM HOUSES, each housing one student, and the meteors only ever hit in such a way that ONLY ONE DORM AT A TIME is distroyed. You hope that TONIGHT will not lead to you being chosen - in fact, you DON'T REALLY WANT TO BE CHOSEN at all. Also, you have a penchant for BIFURCATION, in both logic and in life. It helps that you have VISION TWOFOLD, allowing you to see things in two seperate lights at the same time, but when it comes to SPERB, no matter how you try and look at it, it's basicly a DEATH SENTENCE. Your chumhandle is twinArmageddons and you tend two 2peak wiith a biit of a lii2p.

What will you do?

[reflectiveRhino]

> Pester someone, ANYONE

[ah2190]

> Sollux: Pester someone, ANYONE

You think about pestering someone, but you know that there won't be time for that. Apparently, there's going to be a new student coming today, and you hope that whomever that person is, that you'll be able to get along with them, especally if they end up in your class.

You then hear a knock on your Dorm House's door. It's possibly one of your classmates, wanting to walk with you to class. You just hope that it isn't Gamzee or Vriska. Gamzee is a bit of a wild card, and acts like the class jester, but Vriska can be a huge bitch at times. You don't think you could cope with her after what has happened. However, you hope that it will be Terezi at the door - she, like you, have somewhat poor eyesight, and you both knew your recently-culled mate well.

You move to open the door, and open it. Who do you find on the other side?

[reflectiveRhino]

> Obviously it is Terezi

[ah2190]

> Someone at the door: Be Terezi

You let off a sigh of relief when you see that it is Terezi on the other side of the door. For once, things are looking up.


> Ah2190: Perspective change to Terezi

Already on it.


You are now Terezi.

Even though Terra's sun is not as bad as the sun of the Troll's homeworld of ALTERNIA - a planet which ceased to exist over 3000 years ago after A CERTAIN INCIDENT - staring directly into said sun can cause BLINDNESS, of which you are LIVING PROOF of that theory. But that hasn't put you off from doing some LIVE ACTION ROLE PLAYING - but not the EXTREME KIND, which was banned many sweeps ago due to a DEADLY INCIDENT which has remained unsolved to this day. You take an interest in justice, holding particular fascination for ORCHESTRATING THE DEMISE OF THE WICKED. You have taken up study of both BRUTAL ALTERNIAN LAW and ITS TERRAN EQUIVELENT, and surround yourself with legal books. You have no need for copies printed in TERRANBRAILLE, because you can SMELL AND TASTE THE WORDS. You hope one day to join the honorable ranks of the LEGISLACERATORS, who are feared more than their Human counterparts. Your chumhandle is gallowsCalibrator and you SP34K W1TH TH3 NUM3R4LS TH3 BL1ND PROPH3TS ONC3 US3D.

You smell Sollux opening the door.

Sollux: Oh... Heya Terezii. II thought for a moment that 2hell 2how up 2omehow.
Terezi: SH3S POSS1BLY 4LR34DY GON3 TO CL4SS
Sollux: II thought 2o too... Hey, diid you know that we may be gettiing a new 2tudent twoday?
Terezi: Y3S, 1 H34RD 4BOUT TH4T
Terezi: 1TS 4 SH4M3 TH4T YOUR FR13ND D1DNT M4K3 1T, THOUGH
Sollux: II... rather not talk about iit. Why diid iit have two be hiim?!?

You deside to calm him down. After doing so, you both walked to class.


> Ah2190: Perspective change again

Woah, hold your horses there. You want to change perspective again? Well, I can't do it right now, but I think I'll let you guys deside whom to switch to.

Here's the list of people you can switch to. You can't possibly switch to all of them, though. If it says [LOCKED] next to it, then you can't be that person just yet.

1) Krista
2) Sollux [LOCKED]

I hope this isn't too overwealming for you guys...

Oh, and from now, if you want to send a command to the kid that's not active, please put their name before the command. Also, if you want to switch, you can either go > Switch to [Person] or, if you don't yet know who it is, > Switch to [Number].

One last thing: Although you can switch to any of them, not all of them will have a major role.

[reflectiveRhino]

> Switch back to Krista

[Askia]

go back to Krista

[ah2190]

> Switch to Krista [1]


You are now Krista again. While the headache you have has yet to let up, you can see New Inatodai from one of the windows. And, in the centre, is Inatodai High, the school where you will be spending about a year at.


~ Thursday, 30th of March - Lunchtime ~

The shuttle has just landed on Inatodai High's shuttlepad. It looks like someone was expecting your arrival.

???: Welcome, Krista, to Inatodai High.

Your mouth drops. You never expected for Doctor Scratch, both the Principle of Inatodai High and the man who helped ended the War of Terra, to be the person to greet you. Hardly ANYONE gets to see him - mainly as he delegates the running of those meetings that the whole school have to go to to his deputy, SNOWMAN.

What will you do?

[reflectiveRhino]

> Say hi to Doctor Scratch

[ah2190]

> Krista: Say hi to Doctor Scratch

Krista: Well, thanks... but what are you doing here?
I came here because I wanted to see you before things start going down the drain. Even though I know everything that has happened and everything that is happening, the future, unless it has already happened, I can never see clearly.
Krista: Could you explain that in clear Terran, please?
Basicly, I can only see the future if someone either rewinds time or travels through time, and even then only until the timeline catches up.
Krista: And you are telling me why?
Because, Krista - you were chosen to play in a game, a game where not only is your life is at stake, but also the fate of the universe itself.
Krista: Who the heck chose me?
I can't say. Whomever he, or she, is, they are not of this universe. But, from looking into your past, you may have heard of him or her...
Anyway, shall we walk? You have a big day ahead of you.

[Askia]

===> i guess

[ah2190]

==>

You deside to walk with Scratch. As you do so, he tells you quite a bit about this history of Terra and Inatodai High. You do your best to absorb as much of the information as you can.

Your Knowledge has increased. Your Knowledge has ranked up!

Eventually, you reach an empty office which Scratch sometimes uses when doing paperwork. Scratch offers to get someone to bring you lunch if you wanted. You are starting to get hungry, so you take him up on the offer. What do you tell him that you want for dinner?

[reflectiveRhino]

> Tell him you want fish and chips.

[ah2190]

> Krista: Ask for Fish and Chips

Scratch says that they normally only have that meal in the cafeteria on Fridays, but he'll try and pull some strings and get you some today. He then leaves the room.

Having a look around the room, all you can see is a desk with Scratch's nametag on it, a couple of upright filing thingies, (You can't remember what it's fully called) a bookshelf full of folders and, on the sofa Scratch said that you could sit down on, a copy of the SPERB manual.

You have some time to kill before dinner arrives, so what now?

[reflectiveRhino]

> Read the manual so you can be prepared

[ah2190]

> Krista: Read the manual so you can be prepared

Prepared for what? You have never heard of SPERB before in your life, and Scratch didn't say anything about it. But still, you deside to have a look. One key thing catches your eye while reading it, though.


THE CRUXTRUDER

This device will warn you as soon as a meteor is bound for your DORM HOUSE when the screens on the sides start flashing red. Afterwards, they will count down the time until impact. Only when the Cruxtruder is activated can you begin playing properly, as while it will lock down your DORM HOUSE, it will also open the way to the other items needed to open the way into SPERB. You MUST make it through the game and through THE EXIT GATE before the timer hits 0 and the meteor impacts on your DORM HOUSE - otherwise, your LAND will collapse, causing a critical GAME OVER.


...This doesn't forshadow anything in the slightest. However, you deside to capthlogue it just in case. Your inventory is now full, and you can't add anything else to it without expelling anything out of it...

Wait, did you see what fell out of it just before you capthlogued the manual? Isn't that...

[reflectiveRhino]

> A frog of course

[ah2190]

==>

For a moment, you thought that it was a frog for some reason. But no - it was, in fact...

OH MY GOD, IS THAT A CAPTHALOGUE CARD THAT I SEE BEFORE ME?!?


Yes.

Hell Yes.

Hell.
Fucking.
Yes.

...but you can't add it until you capthalogue it. Plus, there's no room in your Sylladex for it. But then you remember that you can equip stuff to the Strife Deck to save a card. What will you do now?

[Note: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...wOWFodmc#gid=1 is the link you'll want to use to see the Strife Deck and the Sylladex. And remember that it's not just weapons that the Strife Deck can carry...]

[reflectiveRhino]

> Equip the Spacer Armband

[ah2190]

> Equip the Spacer Armband

You dive into the jar of marbles, and pull out the one for the Spacer Armband. You quickly use that marble on your Strife Deck.

You now have the Spacer Armband equipped. This frees up a card, so you waste no time and Capthalogue the Capthalogue card.

You then try to retrieve it from the Sylladex so that you can add a card to the deck. There's a 50:50 chance of you getting it, as the only other White marble is for the M.A.P...


> Ah2190: Roll to deside what is picked out

Ok... Odds it's the M.A.P, evens it's the card. Here goes nothing...

I roll D10 and get 4. The card it is, then


Nice! You now have an extra slot for items.

There's still some time left to burn, so what now?

[reflectiveRhino]

> Sit on the Sofa. Sit on the sofa this Instant!

[ah2190]

> Krista: Sit on the Sofa. Sit on the sofa this Instant!

You sit on the sofa.

...

What do you expect, the sofa to try and eat you or something?

Anyway, the sofa is kinda comfy. Scratch is indeed an excellent host.


==>

A couple of minutes later, a female Troll who works at the school came in with the meal you ordered. She places them on the desk, then turns to you and bows.

What do you do now?

[reflectiveRhino]

> Change perspective to the female troll
