SCRAFT: A Second Chance

Explain why all your tags are music oriented.

> Contemplate Names

As far as naming goes you aren’t the best. But it seems you’ll have to give it some thought. Randomly the choice of “8REAK H34DS” pops into your mind. While this seems to be an excellent choice, the entry seems to require a four letter combination and then a six letter combination. Strange.


Just for the hell of it, you input “CASEY” to see what would happen. It's rejected You also try “LOBSTER” and “EVIL PURPLE MONSTER” neither are successful. Finally you come up with a combination. FOXY KIDMAN. A mix of the one actress AM hates and a truly annoying name, this is the perfect vengeance. The name Foxy rhymes with Roxy and Boxy. One of these being hated by AM and the other loved. She’ll be exasperated in attempting to figure out which one stemmed the naming of Foxy. Oh yes. This is one mind game you shall trump her in.


While you were making your move in the war of mind games with AM, it appears WM was not Busy for all of about 2 seconds and left you a message. You should check that later.


Now that you’re focused on the computer again you vaguely remember that all of your handles are in fact music related. A coy smile forms as you remember why. Way back when, before purple demons were scaring aqua text kids shitless and birthday presents didn’t always blow up, you all rolled together as the Band.


You all had musical handles and were about crushing every other game team around. But then you grew apart and things went south. You guess no one really had it in them to forget about the old team and change their handles. After that you played in groups of two and three, never the full team. This Beta will be the first time all members of The Band are playing the same game in two years.

WM: Yo Bro
WM: I’m doing something
WM: And CK beat you to the Beta
WM: He is on right now
WM: When are those legit copies coming anyway?
WM: I don’t wanna hack your grandmas shit
WM: She scares me

What!?!? CK is already on? How is this possible! It’s a freaking BETA. How do you hack into a BETA!?! Your friends never cease to amaze you in their bullshit antics. WM is lying. There’s no way CK hacked it. No. Fucking. Way.


You take a moment to consider opening your Chest of Winter Wonders. Then decide against it as you remember why it’s not open in the first place. Inside is one of the most destructive weapons in the world. The idea of that thing falling into the wrong hands was so frightening that you locked the Chest and hid the key. You no longer remember where the key is. Which is a good thing. You think.


That reminds you, your pet snake Cerberus is still covered in presents. He’s usually staring out at you with his glowing red eyes, but today it seems someone has stacked all your birthday presents where his cage usually is. You should do something about that.

Liberate Inappropriately Named Reptile From Pile of Gifts.

Soothe reptilian companion

Open gifts with reckless abandon.

[Kíeros]

> Well then, I guess you need to open up some presents now.

[BlooSprite]

>Ponder whether CK's awesome hacking skills are enough to hack into the beta of the most anticipated game of the year. Oh, and retrieve snake.

[PersonPerson]

Open presents. Keep colorful boxes.

[Five]

> Ooh! Ooh! Presents! Open them, open them!

[Druidic]

> Liberate Reptilian Companion

What the fuck? Where the hell is your oddly named pet? The cage is missing, but you know for a fact it was here the day before. This mystery must be solved. There’s also a small box where your pet’s home was.


It also seems that by the use the looting system, all of your presents have been stored separately. You use the Roleplay Modus, which functions awesomely with most of the games you play. It allows the storage of three container items, ten loot items, five key items, and five healing items at once. The first three presents were all placed into the Container tab, but the fourth was placed in key items for some reason. You move over the three into the Loot tab so that you can Loot the presents. Key items are non-droppable non-destroyable items that have a specific purpose and can only be accessed at the certain time. From the coloration it looks like WM sent it. That worries you. You open your HOME to open up the presents.


You start with the green present, which is from CK. Inside you find REPLICA GLAMDRING. CK always sends you the coolest presents. Now you can run around with your REPLICA WIZARD STAFF and scream “YOU SHALL NOT PASS” at people. Hell Fucking Yes.


Next is the red present, which no doubt must be from DG. Looting it, you acquire a band new 2-PLAYER DUAL SPEC OPS LAZER TAG SET. Should be fun to screw around with next time you meet up with him.


Last is the orange present, which of course is from DR. You loot the DINOSAURS A-Z DICTIONARY. Dammit DR, doesn’t she know you don’t read?

[TheFinalWraith]

Allocate replica glamdring and lazer tag pistols to strife specibus, alongside your replica wizard staff.
Reflect upon how great it is that you are able to afford multiple strife cards.

[Recyth]

Create Glamdrictionary. This is clearly a good idea.

[BlooSprite]

Thank everyone for the presents.

[Druidic]

> Destroy the Dictionary.

You debate on it, but as much as you’d like to stab the dictionary, it’s a present from DR. Plus it looks like she made it herself, so the cover of that dictionary is probably some three million year old dinosaur skin or something. Your REPLICA GLAMDRING would do jack shit to it.


Since you’ve got the Home hub open anyway, you switch to your Strife Portfolio, revealing your sword&staffKind deck, twohandKind deck, and shieldKind deck. You are a master of manipulating your strife decks and have enough money to afford multiple cards for multiple decks. Although right now they are all empty.


You would equip the REPLICA weapons into your sword&staffKind specibus, but your REPLICA WIZARD STAFF is not currently in your possession. You’ll have to find it first. So you pop the REPLIA GLAMDRING into your twohandKind deck, it’s highly abusable because all it requires is that the object be held with two hands. You could weaponize pretty much anything simply by grabbing it with both hands.


For now the LAZER PISTOL SET will have to stay in your Loot tab. Mainly because you haven’t opened it yet, though since it’s a spec ops set it most likely has a crummy specific allocated strife deck in it. Reading the box confirms this, it holds four LAZER PISTOLS, two LAZER SHADES, two LAZER CHESTGUARDS, and two 2xlazerpistolKind strife decks. To open it would fill your loot tab, so you’ll have to wait until you have someone to dump the second set off on. What about the box? You'll also have to thank everyone, except maybe AM. Foxy Kidman still gives you the creeps.

> What's in the box, Jack Jace?

[Treble Clef]

>Jace: Open the box, revealing Cerberus.
>Cerberus: Attack.
>Jace: Flip out

[Druidic]

> Open Box.

It opens before you even captchalogue it. Revealing the SCRAFT BETA. Seems your grandma left the install disk with the rest of your presents, but where are the rest of them? You wish you had the Quest Objective upgrade for your Home Hub.How are you to remember all these mysteries that keep popping up?

[Kíeros]

> Well, install it. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

[llamamiah]

>Torrent the Quest Objective upgrade.
