==> RUBY: MOVE BED OUT OF BEDROOM
This was your plan in the first place. Watching the cursor move across the screen, a secure click onto the bed and you start dragging it across the screen. The bedroom goes into a dark area, obviously not open up to you. A grunt escaped your throat and you release the mouse button and move back to the bedroom.
==> RUBY: DEPLOY ITEMS
Four items are important to get a character into the game: The cruxtruder, the alchemiter, the punch designix, and lastly the totem lathe. Each one was placed masterfully and planned out; it was in your blood to do that, if nothing went right a huge fit would be placed.

KN: Wha--HEY!
KN: What're you doing with my bed?! ==> GO CHECK ON WALL HANGINGS [/blockquote] [style=font-size: 12px; font-family: courier new; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: left;]Wall hangings?! Don't you mean god damn beautiful and majestic pieces of artwork? Tch. No one understands your artistic genius. It's hard being a young, starving artist nowadays. It's hard and nobody understands...besides other young, starving artists.
But enough of that. You have to go make sure that mechanical sounding bitch didn't mess up anything when she so rudely moved your bed out of your room without even giving you a warning. After a quick hop, step, and a jump over the art supplies strewn across your floor, you make it to you far wall. Everything looks to be fine. No rips in the paper or smudges on the ones that had frames...hmph. Leetspeak was lucky. [/div][/blockquote] KN: Warn me next time you're going to start redecorating my room!
KN: Urg. Darwin help me... ==> EXAMINE ROOM [/blockquote] [style=font-size: 12px; font-family: courier new; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: left;]While you're checking on your art, this might be a good time to check out the rest of the room as well. Taking a step away from the wall, you look around.
There's actually quite a bit in your room, mostly because it not only functions as your sanctuary away from your AUNTIE, but also basically your own mini INSECTARIUM. There's a variety of different types of aquariums scattered along the walls and in the middle of your room holding all your most precious darlings, such as your mantises. Oh how you love your mantises! Don't let the tarantulas and centipedes know, but the little mantises were the closest to your heart. Moving away from your exoskeleton sweeties, the rest of your room is really dedicated to your other loves; modern art, baseball, and herbalism. Aside from your paintings, your floor and walls are splattered with different hues of paint, and your art supplies are scattered across the floor haphazardly. The rest of the free wall areas are taken up by your corny posters of Charles Darwin and other famous biologists. Where your bed used to be, there's your baseball equipment and a box of your collection of baseball cards. You don't like to talk to people about that though, since most of the time they just make fun of it for being a boy's hobby to collect baseball cards. Not that you really care, it's just annoying to hear all the time. Then, on a stray desk by the window, is a bunch of tiny herb plants. They aren't really grown enough to be of much use in making potions or tea yet, but they will be soon enough!
But you've wasted enough time on this! Work time. Better go see what your loving server is telling you. [/div][/blockquote] KN: Geeze, calm down would you?
KN: I know we're on a tight schedule, but you're not even taking the time to /explain/ anything to me!
KN: You're lucky I brushed up on some game lingo before starting this otherwise I'd have no idea what you're talking about.
KN: Going to release my kernalwhatever now. ==> WORK CRUXTRUDER [/blockquote] [style=font-size: 12px; font-family: courier new; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: left;]You go out of your room to find out where Ruby put your cruxtruder. It would have been nice if she told you where it was, but you know you can't ask for much. She obviously doesn't really want to help you survive this thing, so as long as she's doing shit you're not going to argue much. As you finally stumble upon it in the living room, you immediately go over to crank that shit open when--...wait. [/justify][/blockquote] ==> STRUGGLE [style=font-size: 12px; font-family: courier new; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: left;]This thing really is stuck! Your stick arms have no hope in opening this thing in this manner. You frown in an annoyed manner. You're going to have to ask for help AGAIN. Wonderful. [/div][/blockquote] ==> GET PHONE It's in your sylladex. Your frown grows. Stupid mini game time. You activate you sylladex and the captalogue cards all fly out followed by a net appearing in your hand. It doesn't take long to identify your phone. Thank god you only have two things in here. A swift jump upwards and a quick flick of your net and the phone is now in your hands. Thank god that went well. You would not want Ruby to see you flailing around trying to catch that card.

KN: Can you try slamming it with your god cursor or something?
KN: I don't exactly have the weapon for the job. |

You take a tank that looked like it was empty. It’s hard to tell with all these items being so small on the screen of the laptop. Oh well, the cursor is then release on top cruxtruder, the glass shatter and the top pops off, a bright light is released as a floating in the air and a dowel is then released from the machine. It’s all going like what happened to yourself; the count down now begins.

==> WONG: AMUSE YOURSELF
You give the screen a once over but it doesn't seem your input is necessary at this essential juncture.
You - you aren't bored or anything, but you have to admit that without the server disk you aren't much help! All you can do is peek at their chat and imagine what they are doing. Deep though the broodfester throes may be, your well knowledge is anything but omniscient. In fact, it's pretty lacking!
Sucking on your index finger, you take an ink-covered digit out of your mouth and begin scrawling incomprehensible numbers down on the cell walls of your purple, palatial prison.
Hrm, carry the three, divide by four, and - what timezone was Lola in again....?
Blargh, all this was so much easier when you weren't-
...
Huh, now where did that thought come from? No, the Noble Circle has your best interests at heart! Hoho, all this anger is why you failed so often in the first place. No, just relax and let them think for you.
It's better this way, you'll see.

==> CHECK ON YOUR ARACHNID [/blockquote] [style=font-size: 12px; font-family: courier new; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: left;]THAT BITCH! You quickly run up to the shattered remains of Harvey's aquarium. There was sawdust, rocks, and crickets scattered across the floor. But where was--?! Suddenly, a flash of red catches your eye, and you quickly lean to the right to snatch up the Mexican Redknee into your hands, frantically looking him over. Against all odds though, it looks like he was okay. Thank goodness. You turn your attention back towards your phone. [/div][/blockquote] KN: What were you thinking?!
KN: You could have killed him!
KN: Stop using so many of your brain cells in typing in that stupid text and put those towards having some common sense! ==> [/blockquote] [style=font-size: 12px; font-family: courier new; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: left;]Oh you were FUMING, but you didn't have time to go off on her completely right now. You quickly go to place Harvey under a cup for later relocation. That way you don't have to worry about him wandering around. Looking back, you watch the green kernalsprite float in the air. So...time to prototype this thing now right? You can just use any old item lying around? ....hm.
[/div][/blockquote] ==> GET ITEM OUT OF SYLLADEX [/blockquote] Another quick mini game later, you've got a simple, burlap ragdoll plush in your hands. Auntie got this for you when you were just a tiny babe, and you always keep it with you. It just makes you feel more comfortable. Safer. Like Auntie is with you even when she isn't...on second thought...
No. No time to be sentimental now. Taking a deep breath, you toss the plush into the kernal, causing a flash of green light. When the light dissipates, you see the smiling face of the plush looking back at you...only this time it's green and glowy.
Well then. Now that that's over with. Time to get some cruxite. Going back over to the machine, you get the dowel.

YOU’RE TRYING!! Flailing arms are everywhere, she not get your damn help if she’s acting like this. A alrge sounding smack can be heard, you retract and nurse your hand. You then look at the door, it slowly opens up and light slowly creeps up on you. You’re deep blue eyes widened up in slight fear.

You get up and swing your cleaverkind the imp exploded with your prizes. You quickly scan the area, it seemed quiet. Juni has to be somewhere helping you out but where he’s hiding you have no idea. Any more time with KN and this laptop was going to be broken in half. You suddenly feel your chest heaving in and out; calm down.

Huh, if your math is correct, Lola's area should have already been hit by an 8.2 earthquake.
No... that can't be right.
You erase your work and start over.

==> LOLA: RESPOND [/blockquote] ...huh. You blink a few times before nodding at the reply. Nope. You're pretty sure you're going to let her cool off for a bit. Besides, you're still pissed at her for almost killing Harvey, your precious darling. The less you have to talk to the almost murderer the better.
==> GO CHECK OUT ALCHEMITER [/blockquote] You go to do that. Ruby decided it would be a good idea to put this thing outside on your balcony, which you will admit was a smart move. From what you've read, this thing is for making items, some of which probably can get rather large. You wonder...
==> PUT TOTEM ON ALCHEMITER [/blockquote] You do just that, and then power the thing up, causing it to make a couple of Perfectly Generic Objects. You stare at them for a few seconds. You're...not sure exactly what they do, but they must be used for something? You collect them into your sylladex anyways. Can't have them just lying around.
==> DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE [/blockquote] You spend the next few minutes trying out the totem lathe and the punch designx, only to create more generic objects. Not productive in the least, but at least you know how these work now. There has to be something you're missing. You do remember reading something about a pre-punched card-- !!!!!!
==> TRY TO KEEP YOUR BALANCE [/blockquote] The ground below your feet suddenly begins to shake, causing you to reach out and cling onto a nearby wall. From the other room you can hear the sound of pots shattering, but thankfully no sound of the tanks breaking before the shaking subsides. That sure was jolting! Since when did your area experience earthquakes like that?! Thank god it was only a small one, or things could have been a lot worse...wait no, what are you thinking?! You know enough about earth science to know that the shock might have been just foreshock, leading up to a mainshock sometime later. Damn...if that's true (and it probably is with the way things are going), you could only have a few minutes before the shit starts to hit the fan! You need to figure out your next step, and FAST.
KN: Uh, Ruby? You there?
KN: If you're there do something or say something or tell me what the hell is the next step because I've exhausted all options here and all I'm getting are these shitty green blocFGJNDFLG
==> INVESTIGATE THE NOISE [/blockquote] [style=font-size: 12px; font-family: courier new; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: left;] A smaller meteor just landed in the woods surrounding your house. There go Auntie's ferns...but nevermind that! Meanwhile there's a fire in your backyard, and god dammit do you hate fire. As you turn away from the window to avoid letting the fear go to your brain, you notice the countdown on the cruxtruder. You only got a couple minutes left, okay! Time to speed things up! [/div] [style=width: 450px; padding: 10 25; background: #171717; border: 1px dashed black; font-size: 12px; font-family: courier new; font-weight: bold; color: 5CE62E; text-align: left;]KN: RUBY.

==> LOLA: GET GOING [/blockquote] You don't even bother wasting time on a reply and quickly bound back up to your bedroom. There, right on your desk, in plain freaking site, is the card you've been looking for. Why Ruby couldn't just tel you about this in the first place is BEYOND your mental reasoning, but you guess maybe it had something to do with you pissing her off. You shrug. Whatever it was, you don't care. You got the card now. Moving as fast as your little feet could carry you, you head back down to the living room, hoping over the broken ceramic pots along the way. You figured Auntie was still up in her room doing some hybrid-ization, but when she got down here to see all this...well you'd make sure you weren't around.
A quick totem grab and totem lathe run later, you're heading back up to the balcony to the Alchemiter. While you're putting the totem on the machine, you get a good look at the sky. Oh...it's raining fire all around you. Great big, rocky masses of fire just yards away from where you were. You shudder a bit at the thought of the fire getting to you before starting the machine up. The machine quickly alchemizes some sort of...tree? A green tree? Wow really unique. Or--wait.
Upon a second look you see the oversized chrysalis hanging from the tree. Oh, that's kinda cool actually. So you gotta break it open now according to Ruby? That hardly seems right. You know enough about butterflies to know you're never supposed to hatch them prematurely, but you guess this game doesn't really care for biological facts. You've only got a minute or so left until the countdown stops so you better do it quick. But just when you step to grab it...
==> GET HIT WITH THE MAINSHOCK [/blockquote] FUCK! It's just like you thought! That first earthquake was just a precursor to the one that's hit right now! Your balance is swiftly thrown backwards and you are tossed against the railing of the balcony. You quickly sink to the ground and cling onto the railing posts as the world shakes violently around you. You struggle not to close your eyes as you glance behind you to spot not only large pillars of earth being formed from the force of the two tectonic plates colliding under you, but also the HUGE ASS METEOR THAT IS GROWING CLOSER TO YOU BY THE SECOND. You look desperately back towards the tree holding the chrysalis to see it wobbling violently. You know it's impossible for you to get up. Your only hope is if the tree would--
==> TREE: FALL [/blockquote] It does just that, the chrysalis cracking as it's slammed to the ground, causing a blinding flash of light, followed by the sound of silence.

And that you do, it’s so nerve wrecking to watch something like this. There isn’t much you can do but just watch. This is all on her if she fails it isn’t your fault and you really don’t care. Your eyes wander around for a bit until a blinding light from your screen appears. You perk up and sit up at the sight.
