Tory ==> Run the Game[MILA]

[TORY WOLFFE]

==> Tory: Retrieve Game.

What are you talking about? You've already retrieved your game a little under a week ago.

==> Tory: Run Game.

Um.....there's no rush is there? There's still a few days till the planned date of running the game with your client player. Ohh, you remember. The one you chickened out on. Yeah, her! How are you going to face her now? Well, whatever you did, you can't go back on your word of being her server player now. But there's still a few days for you to be prepared for the coming storm. What you meant to say is, be prepared for the major awkwardness. So why don't you just relax and switch on the television? Watch the news or something.

Tory made his way out of his room and into his living room. No reason fretting over what's to come. Seriously though, he can't help feeling bad about what he said to Mila in the previous chat. What he said was as good as saying no. He let out a long dragged out sigh before falling back on the couch and switching on the television. Oh hey, the news is on, let's see what's up with the world. All politics, nothing interesting. Tory got up and almost switched off the television but stopped himself as the weather forecast came on, looks like a tsunami's about to hit Florida. And the picture of the area looks unsettlingly alot like where Mila's house is located. Looks like he doesn't have much time to waste before the tsunami strikes. Tory immediately switched off the television and rushed back to his room, almost tripping over a few hockey sticks that were left lying around the house by his mother. Upon reaching his room, he logged on to Pesterchum, just in time to see Mila's handle come online. Alright Tory, suck it up, you can do this.

MP: hey, um...Mila
MP: i think we should get you into the game..
MP: like now..
MP: if possible

[MILA YOSHIDA]

==> Mila: Quit your crying and check your buzzing computer.

What? Your computer's buzzing? It appears one of your comrades is pestering you, you approach further and discover it to be a boy by the name of Tory.

==> Mila: Rudely ignore the heartless jerk.

Why you could never do that! He may have broken your heart into a million pieces, and shattered your happiness. Still rudeness is unthoughtful!

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable] IT: Hello Tory. IT: SBurb? IT: Are you kidding me? IT: It's like two in the morning!? IT: Why would I want to, IT: ... IT: Alright I'm in...

==> Mila: Load SBurb files.

Why, you have already done this silly controls! The second you found out Tory was hosting your game, you sped to your computer and loaded them for the off chance he would want to start early.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable] IT: Ok, my games already loaded. IT: Need to hook up with my server? IT: Though I have ONE rule. IT: Don't wake Brother up... IT: Dark things happen when you wake him up...

==> Mila: Go freshen up in the bathroom so it appears as if you had not been sobbing horrendously ever since you ended the recent chat with Tory.

[TORY WOLFFE]

==> Tory: Connect to Client Server.

You do just that. You've loaded the file as soon as you got the game. You didn't think you were able to wait for a whole week before actually running the game. But whatever, you run the game already.

==> Tory: Reply and Apologize to Friend

That is...if she still considers you as her friend. Seriously, why did you even reply her that way that time?!

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #ffffff; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: teal; text-align: left;]

MP: um....sorry
MP: i didn't think it'd be so early..or late over there
MP: anyway..um, i'm connecting to your server right now..
MP: don't worry, i won't wake him up..
MP: he..uh..sounds scary

The window for the game opened. Tory's heart did a little flip when Mila's room come into view. He tried click-dragging his mouse around the screen to get a better picture of the room, hmm...it certainly did look like it's 2am in the morning there. Since it's still dark out. He couldn't see any signs of Mila though.

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #ffffff; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: teal; text-align: left;]

MP: hey, uh...i'm in
MP: or more like, you're in, but yeah..
MP: i'll just be figuring out the controls for now then..

==> Tory: Try picking something up with mouse.

Let's start with something small. How about a book? You moved your mouse over to a bookshelf and picked a random book out. You let go of the mouse and it fell. Whoa whoa whoa! You managed to catch it before it comes into contact with the floor and make any sudden noises that might wake the Brother up. Let's try that again. You moved the cursor towards a desk and softly placed the book on the table. That's better.

[MILA YOSHIDA]

==> Mila: Exit Bathroom.

You leave your bathroom and low and behold before you there is a floating book. Just great, it appears Tory can pick up a book. Now how does he expect her to gain access into the game.

==> Mila: Pester Tory about what to do next.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable] IT: Ok I see your little book trick you have going there.. IT: Now what do you have to do next to advance? IT: Wait, did you hear that!? IT: It's brother... IT: His snoring... IT: It's stopped... IT: Oh no. IT: This is NOT good one bit! IT: Ok we need to remain calm, IT: Here's the plan. IT: You start on whatever we need to get done. IT: Then I'm gonna go retrieve my NINTENDO DS from downstairs. IT: That way out conversation can go portable? IT: Ok? IT: Though feel free to help me with any obstacles I may encounter. IT: Also if I lose power and you drop something, IT: Well... IT: Let's say it won't turn out pretty for me.

==> Mila: Slowly creep out door.

You slightly creek open the door and peer around into the darkness, If Brother is lurking, you won;t see him until it is to late. You slowly edge your way down the hallway, and run past the door to the hall to your brothers room. As you walk down the hallways, lightning flashes and a few lights flicker though they don't go out. Whew.

That was a close one, especially considering how bad an encounter would turn out. You make your way over to the counter of the Kitchen and pick up the charging Pink Nintendo DS.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable] IT: Hey! IT: I'm on my DS! IT: How much work have you accomplished? IT: If you don't have anything set up try to get it done before I get back up stairs. IT: See you up there.

==> Mila: Head back up-.

What was that!? Suddenly behind you there is the sound of a scuffling on the floor, you back away nervously unknowing at which presence is exhaling deeply in front of you. Lightning flashes and you catch a glimpse of your foe, oh it's just your lazy dog fluffy; he's a anti-allergenic dog. Your brother's apparently allergic to every single living creature on earth. You begin to head up stairs now carrying the quivering dog, he hates thunderstorms and you sometimes cuddle with him when it's storming, Though now was certainly no time for cuddle, and with that you re-entered your room.

[TORY WOLFFE]

==> Tory: Open Up a Walkthrough.

This walkthrough to be exact. It's....pretty vague on what to do. But little help is better than no help! Hmm...it did say that there is a control panel on the top of the window. And there it is. Hmm...it looks like you're able to deploy a few...really really huge contraptions without any cost. Let's try it out. Hmm...what the heck is a cruxtruder? Well, guess we'll find out!

==> Tory: Deploy Cruxtruder

Tory slide the cursor over the picture of the CRUXTRUDER in the control panel and clicked on it. Looks like it'll take up quite alot of space! And there's not a lot of space in Mila's room. Time for a little redecorating. Tory hoped Mila wouldn't terribly mind it. You decided to shift everything to one side of the room. Beds, bookshelf, desks, all to the wall. Of course he did it as quietly as possible. And when he's finally done, it was then did Tory deploy the cruxtruder. The screen blinked in and out for a few times. Must have been another almost-blackout. Better get this done quickly.

Next thing to be deployed is the Alchmitizer....this looks like it'll take quite alot of space too, but with all of Mila's furniture to the side, it shouldn't be a big problem.

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #ffffff; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: teal; text-align: left;]

MP: Um, you might want to watch it when you enter your room..
MP: like, there's a little redecorating done?
MP: uh, it's better if you come back up to see for yourself... ><

==> Tory: Deploy Alchemitizer

Looks like you underestimated the size of the bedroom. The cruxtruder and Alchemitizer is taking up alot more room than you thought they would. Looks like you're going to have to put the last contraption, the Totem Lathe thing, somewhere else. There's this one last thing that's free to deploy would be a pre-punched sylladex card. Hmm. You decided to take it out first and place it on the desk that's been placed against the wall.

==> Tory: Look for somewhere to place Totem Lathe

[/justify]

Okay, time to look for a more spacious area to place this thing and you're probably all set to go. You see stairs leading up to what's probably the attic. But you can't seem to see anything upon going up. Guess you won't be able to see areas where your client haven't been yet. Well, fat lot of help that is.

[style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #ffffff; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 11px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: teal; text-align: left;]

MP: uh...hey Mila
MP: how much room is there in your attic?

[MILA YOSHIDA]

==> Inspect noises coming from upstairs.

You think this could really go either way, being your Brother or perhaps Tory setting down a large contraption of some sort,

Mila calmly thought upon the many possibilities that could exist with the various bumps and noises coming from the floor above her. What on earth could be going on up there...

[/b][/color]Mila thought as she finally arrived onto the top floor. Perhaps now she would have time to take a Pester break. Though first she took a few swift looks down the hall and stairs to check for Brother.[/blockquote][/justify][/size]

==>Pester Tory

You take out your NINTENDO DS and look down into the bright and colorful Pesterchum, it appears Tory has had the same idea.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable] IT: Hey... IT: Um... IT: Tory...? IT: What are those noises coming from my room? IT: They seem fairly loud. IT: I hope Brother, doesn't wake up... IT: Wait!? IT: What's this about my room!?

==>Go inspect the damage done to your room.

Not so sure about this, something's are better left unknown.

Mila then pressed on down the hallway. First Mila stopped at the side corridor that leads to her Brothers door, checking the coast to make sure it's clear. Before darting past the corridor she set down her dog so it could scamper offer and whimper in the Bathroom; this journey was unsafe for small puppies like him. From here on out Mila continued her quest alone, after sneaking past the corridor Mila had finally arrived at her bedroom door. Though before becoming able to continue on Mila was interrupted by the sound of her DS beeping, Tory must have been pestering her.

[/justify][/size]

==> Put your quest on hold to respond to the beeping comrade.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable] IT: My Attic? IT: What do you need up there? IT: But, yea IT: We hardly use it, IT: I'll head upstairs so it will come into view on your screen.

==> Head up to the attic.

You decide or best to help Tory with whatever he may need in the attic. So you head up to the attic now making it available for his viewing.

[TORY WOLFFE]

==> Tory: To The Attic!

Out of the bedroom and out into the the hallway. It sure is storming down there! Even though you can't hear anything through the screen, at that lightning is really making you jumpy. You almost fell off your chair when something ran across the hall from one room to another until another flash of lightning revealed to you that it's just a fluffy lil doggy. Must have been spooked by the lightning and thunder. Alright, enough dilly dallying, it's up to the attic you go.

Tory scrolled and zoomed out of Mila's bedroom. Clicking on the scroll button, the attic eventually came into view. It was pitch black save for the tiny window at the far end of the room, it's only in full view when lightning flashes by. And for a brief moment, Tory's able to see the entirety of Mila's attic. There is enough space for the totem lathe machine thing!

==> Tory: Deploy Totem Lathe.

It didn't take long for that to be accomplished. Now what?

That is a very good question, Tory thought to himself. He leaned back on his chair and thought for a moment. What was he supposed to now that he's done doing what the server player's supoosed to do? Hmm...

==> Tory: Look For Mila?

Yeah sure, let's go see what she's up to.

MP: hey, uh...i'm done putting down all the..uh..machine things
MP: not really..uh, sure if you've already seen it
MP: but those two things in your room is called a cruxtruder and an alchemiter
MP: the one with the flat platform like thing is the alchemiter
MP: where in your house are you anyway?

[MILA YOSHIDA]

(So sorry for super lateness got caught up in life!)

==> Mila: Answer your Chum
You look down at your blinking DS, Tory's probably pestering you about that racket he's been making.

IT: Huh?
IT: Oh those thingys...
IT: I remember reading about those when I heard about the game.
IT: I tend to research the crap out of things I'm into.
IT: Anywho I'm leaving my attic now and on the way to my room.
IT: If I recall correctly I should head to the cruxtrider you mentioned eatliar.

Slowly Mila made her way down the ladder and approached her room. Though interrupted once more by the scampering of her wee puppy dog. Perhaps Fluffy has been having a very rough night, so much for Kiel taking care of him. So Mila picked up the dog again and reached forward and pressed through the door into the room. It appears multiple large objects have been dropped into the room, Mila examined them while carrying a quizzical expression.

==> Mila: Pry open that strange large one called the cruxtrider.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to open it for heck's sake we might as well get it over with.

Now Mila had already read a walkthrough earlier and had an idea that the Cruxtrider sets off a timer. Though unfortunately she had never read a finished one due to the untimely death of the writers. Secretly though Mila had gained somewhat of an idea of what would happen when the dreaded timer ran out. As she approached the large device she thought about the impending doom that would be released when she opened this mechanical equivalent of a Pandoras Box. Finally Mila gripped her fingers on the strange contraption, it felt cool underneath her finger tips as she brushed across the metallic surface she finally gained her grip and bang!

Flooded by a stream of light, and then all of a sudden out emerges a strange odd flashing ball of light. I almost forgot about the kernel sprite!

[/color] Mila thought to herself, it appears she was so overwhelmed by the scariness of the situation that she had completely forgotten about the sprites and their need to prototype. Though she was completely dumbfounded, Fluffy got her out of her trance due to his insistent barking at the wildly flashing sprite. Then suddenly in the blink of an eye, Fluffy lunged at the sprite and another flash of light and boom he was gone. And in his place a odd new sprite that spat out long wired and complex forms of gibberish.
[/blockquote][/justify][/size]

==> Mila: Extrude Cruxite Dowel and get this ball rolling!
I bet that would help considering the clock is ticking and it's up to you to save your house and Kiel. You'll mourn Fluffy's "Death" later.

Mila then gripped the wheel on the side of the Cruxtrider and extruded a Grey Cruxite Dowel. She then cataphalouged the Dowl into her Sylladex, "ITEM 1, GREY". Mila then returned to the attic to proceed with the next step she had believed to involve the Totem Lathe, just to be sure Mila whipped put her DS to double check the walkthrough. Good to go Mila hooked in the dowel and entered in the prepunched card on the ground she discovered next to the Lathe. Finally the machine curved out some odd shapes into the dowel, which the guide had referred to as some sort of code for the alchemiter.

[/justify][/size]

==> Mila: Alchimise, and get the heck out of here. Looks like you should head down stairs and save you and your Bro's asses.

As Mila re-entered the room she noticed the sprite hadn't moved much and kept spattering out gibberish. She figured it would be more active once in the Medium, better get in fast theirs only about two minutes remaining. As she approached the Alchemiter she finally placed the recently carved dowel onto the marked spot and hit the button. Suddenly another Flash of light and boom resting on the main platform was a Grey cocktail glass with an obviously placed mini Umbrella. Then Mila once more glanced toward the timer, ten seconds... 10... 9... 8...7...6...5...4...3...2... Then Mila through down the glass and shattered it. 1....

[/justify][/size]

==> Mila: Enter Medium
