((I know how I'm going to do it, I just want to wait a little while. Mainly for HF and AT to get back to me... Don't know who will post for HF now, but if anyone fancies replying to JW for ? ))

==> Be that one troll that hasn't exactly been introduced yet. Your name is ARANOS DETHCO and you don’t know exactly why you just said your name in public. To be honest, you really keep to yourself; Besides this, you try to keep affairs from happening between land dwellers and sea dwellers alike, such as massacres and even wars between land and sea. Aside from your peacekeeping job, you’ve always taken a slight interest in time.

Now, you're really just standing around in your hive.. You aren't really sure what to do, so you just try to recollect your thoughts. That's when you remember the game.

==> Aranos: Look for Sgrub disc

You remember exactly where you put it; just as every day, you've been keeping it safe until the time came in a hidden spot under your desk. Now that you have the disc, you think about just installing it already.

==> Aranos: Contemplate installing Sgrub

You think about trying to install it, but decide to wait until you actually have to. For now, you walk over to your desktop computer and just go on pesterchum and wait..

==> Aranos: Check your pesterchum

Your pesterhandle is legendaryOperator. Checking your pesterchum, you see that noone is online at the moment. Easily bored, you decide to just wander around your estate.

I'll do it... I was trying to figure out what EG VP and DW were doing... EG will be starting the game cause he's doing absolutely nothing. Also I may have EG accidentally kill HF late by accident later on to make it more simple... It will be sad... But it may or may not happen... I've already planned the deaths of my trolls.

Can you quote the last post?

/Begin Recap

==> Kartuu: Be the flying girl

You are now the flying girl. By that you mean, you are Elinor. You have always been Elinor. Having pestered HF, HF has now replied to your pestering. Now it is your turn to reply, you suppose. You've never been good at this social-interaction-stuff.

You can't deny that Vivane's (that's her name! You are constantly forgetting your trollian buddy's names, because you only ever call them by their trolltag) typing style drives you crazy, but she's lovely and sweet and never seemed to have a problem with you, despite your social ineptitude. Is that a word? You're not sure, but don't really mind.

==> Elinor: Get out the SGrub game, insert the disk, and start playing

You slide the disk in its case from your shelf. It gives you a horrible sense of foreboding, but you know that's just because you are terrible at games. But lots of trolls wanted you to join them, so you said yes; you'll never find friends or things that you enjoy doing if you never do anything. You put the first install disk into computer and a pop-up pops up. Predictably; what else was it going to do? Slide slowly onto the screen? Creep in from the side? No. Don't be ridiculous. And it was hardly going to ooze down from the top. So stop being silly.

Disk incompatible. Updates will need to be installed in order to play this disk. Windows Vista suggests installing this update.

Download and install now.

==> Elinor: download and install updates

You click the button.

This update will take 4 hours to install.

You stare at the screen. This computer really is bad, you really don't know why you kept it. Thankfully, you installed your old hubtop in your Dojo so that you can listen to music while you train. You consider going there now, while your computer updates.

==> Elinor: Go train

You head to your Dojo. Upon arriving, you see you have already received another message, this time on your hubtop. You have a look, and realise it isn't HF, but in fact AT.

/End Recap ((Thanks!))

==> Kartuu: Be Elinor and get distracted

You almost immediately get distracted from your training by an alert on pesterchum. Oe of those new contacts, you now assume are trolls who will play the game with you, has just come online. Whatever that means. Their trolltag is legendaryOperator, or LO for short. You vaguely remember seeing this around, and think back to when you were first told about the game. You think this was the troll you were originally organised to host.

This time, you decide to wait for a reply. You'll probably only get distracted anyways, and it's always a good idea to train without distractions. Your lusus isn't here, anyway, and you always train with her.

=> Ariyan: Wake Up

You wake up in your respite bloc. You quickly run over to your husktop. Yes! The file the mystery troll sent you has arrived, along with his trolltag! You quickly message him your thanks.

=> Download Files

You set the files to download. That'll take a while. In the mean time, you'll go check out some of the other people on your team.

ooc: later of course. I gotta finish my English essay first.

==> Aranos: Install Sgrub

Thinking about everything that's recently been happening, you decide to just get it over with and install Sgrub. Your computer was custom built by you; it's been upgraded a few times to match new software, and is rather state of the art. This should take no time. You insert the game and wait for a menu... All of a sudden, the cmd prompt comes up, informing you about the game and its creator. Press enter to continue? You hesitantly continue with the installation.

==> Aranos: Install

As the game installs, you see a paradox of a spirograph appear. As it spins, the colors of the hemospectrum and beyond encircle the entire screen... The loading bar states it'll take about two minutes to finish, (your computer IS advanced..) As the spirograph twirls and the bar slowly fills, the entire room around you feels like its distorting.

==> Aranos: Play the Game

It's done. The game has been installed; Sgrub is ready to be played. You rummage through its options. Apparently, you can select things, revise something, deploy an item, check your.. phernalia registry, whatever that is, check your grist cache, look at your explore atheneum, and finally, look at your alchemy excursus.. Doesn't look so bad, but it might be confusing. You choose the Select tool and point at your nearby bobbleheads.. Apparently the select tool allows you to move objects within a certain vicinity. Good to know. However, you currently cant use any of these tools freely; that's up to your server player. You can only use these tools if you're controlling things around your Sgrub client, apparently.

You guess you'll just look around at the features and what they do and leave it at that.

Actually, hold on.. You notice a small notice on your pesterchum on the side. Someone's been pestering you, apparently. Elinor? You suppose you should reply, but something catches your eye. How is this troll on your contact li-- You decide not to think about it. Probably the game messing around. Ah well, you had better reply.

/ooc: How do I set spoilers for the pesterlogs? Sorry! (new to forums) :x

/ooc: thanks for reminding me..

==> Aranos: Pester Elinor

Alright. Now that you've found the disks, it's time to get this show on the road.

==> Liddey: Get This Show On The Road

But not literally since you have no show and you're in your hive, not out on some road. Does Alternia even HAVE roads? You don't think so and decide to ignore the inaccuracy of this phrase. You make your way back to your respiteblock and make a beeline for your Husktop.

==> Install SGRUB It's kind of a weird name for a game, you guess. Didn't hit you until just now, but now that you've noticed it, you have an urge to share it with the world. But alas, you can't. You have no way for everyone to hear it and nobody wants to be even remotely near you so it would be rather hard to do so.

Anyway, you stick the disk in the drive as lightning flashes outside. This also strikes you as odd, considering it's not storming and it lasted just long enough for your Husktop to take in the disk, but eh. Weirder things have happened.

A pop-up appears on the screen and you follow the prompts. Eventually a progress bar appears at the bottom of the pop-up with a timer that reads at roughly 10 minutes.

Great.

==>Find Something To Occupy Yourself With For Ten Minutes

Great idea. You decide to clean up the spilled salt and get your late lusus out of your hive. You think about burying her so the monsters and other creatures can't get at her, but you decide against it because who would want to eat a shriveled up slimebeast?

Nobody, that's who.

I love the updated picture :o Facepalm one of my posts seemed to have disappeared... I'll have to try and repost it :/

Just your luck! Something blew a fuse and crashed your computer. Not only that but the explosion has knocked you out and sent you to Derse. Great. You decide to pass time within your confines rather than traveling out to see what all the racket is about.

Look out window

You decide that you might as well at least see what is going on. Oh! It appears that three trolls are awake and lively. You recognize the Jade blooded troll as you've seen him ever since you've woken up on this purple planet.

==>

You shuffle around the room and wonder why in the world you decided to stay here. It doesn't matter. Your here anyways. You look under your pillow and find the game that you had just been talking about. Funny, how in the world could it have gotten here. You now panic realiezing that it's not where it should be. Luckily you have the ability to be awake in two places because your HEART never would spilt.

==>

You attempt to wake up but all attempts seem futile. The green blooded trolls and the two other trolls seemed to have disappeared from your sight. Boring. You try and wake up again

Wake Up

occ// Hopefully my trolls will be coming soon.

((Why thank you. c:

Probably going to redraw her again, though, because I don't like how her right (our left) arm or her left (our right) leg came out. /perfectionist))

occ// Other than the fact that I've forgotten who I have and haven't messaged about the teams Spolicer seems to be MIA. So I'm going to Time jump to a point where everyone is already in their teams and are either ready or just getting ready to destroy the shit out of everyone's houses.

Be Aeglet Khatra

You are now Aeglet Khatra. It appears he had just finished a conversation with The mystery troll DW. You kind of feel bad that you don't remember his name. You return to your Laptop and stare at it idley until you hear a loud THUD!

Explore

You decided to venture out of your room when suddenly a giant dew hickey appears. WHAT IS THAT?! Wait you just recieved a message.

==>

You wonder why you have to move over and you take two steps to the side. Oh look at that that must be the Alchemiter. You still have no idea what the other thing is beside it but you guess you'll learn later.

==>

((Do you think you could avoid time-jumping without asking everyone else if it's what they want to do? It's not really fair))

Fine by me... There isn't really a time jump other than the fact that all the trolls are in their teams. I'm a bit lost where I'm left back and I'm doing my best juggling :)

ALMOST HAD AN FML MOMENT Jeeze... VP isn't very nice... I keep losing the block of text I'm trying to send to Time :/ Luckily I recovered it...

Be Nephro Lusive

You are now Nephro Lusive. You are currently looking out your hive frowning at your dead lusus. There is nothing else you can do about his death except for moving on. Perhaps you will see him again.

Message teammate

You want to get this show on the road so you message a random teammate.

[Spoiler=Show Spoiler]vexatiousPandemic [VP] began trolling detonatingUnicorn [DU] [color=#696969]VP: L00K 1'M PR3TTY SUR3 TH4T Y0UR 0N3 0F TH3 TR0LLS 0N MY T34M TH4T H4S EN0UGH T1M3!

You speak to LO, explain what little you know to him. You realise that perhaps being the first people to start the game, with so little information, may not be a good idea. You're not too bothered though. You also realise that your lusus has arrived and is waiting patiently beside you. She clearly knows you want to train.

==> Elinor: Train with lusus

Walking away from the hubtob, you nod to your lusus and head to a large, walk-in cupboard in the corner of the room. You slide the shutters up and enter. Inside are many weapons you are well-practiced with. First you pick up a staff.

The staff immediately combines with your strife specibus, previously FistKind, and gives you a new specibus; StickKind. Well, that's about as descriptive as FistKind. You decide to train with this for a while.

You and your lusus do some stretches and go through a few routine moves, slowly at first and steadily gaining in speed, until it becomes apparent that you're not challenging yourself at all. You're way too controlled with the simple staff to call this training, and your lusus is way too good at blocking you.

==> Elinor: Train with Sai Swords

You put away the staff, allowing your specibus to slip back to FistKind momentarily. You refrain from captaloging the staff, as you know that once you do it will be ridiculously difficult to retrieve. You would have to sculpt an image of it somehow in order to do so, and you might not have time for it. You pick up Sai Swords and leave the training room, feeling a growing sense of apprehension and excitement.

You carefully go through some set moves once more, slowly again. The blades come narrowly close to your lusus' skin and eyes, but you can feel yourself getting better. She gains a few minor cuts on her arms where she's blocked you, but nothing major.

==>

Your lusus suddenly has blood on her face, arcing across her cheek.

==>

You step closer to her and ask her if she's alright.

==>

You feel a wetness on your hands and look down.

==>

Suddenly there's burgundy blood everywhere.

==>

As your lusus collapses, you feel a wrenching in your hand and realise you're still gripping the Sai Sword incredibly tightly. You completely forgot and stabbed your lusus! She falls to the ground and you relinquish your hold. As you join her on the ground, weeping burgundy tears of loss and guilt, you become covered in your lusus' blood. You wrap yourself around her and wail, knowing you murdered her. You will never lift those Sai Swords again.

==>

Your Strife Specibus is stuck on BladeKind, the specibus it became when you picked up the Sai Swords. Some kind of trauma must have caused it to stick. You wail some more, realising you'll be forced to use the same weapon with which you killed your lusus for all eternity.

==> Elinor: Be pitiful and stay crying on the floor for a while. Or forever

You decide to cry all over your poor dead lusus until you fall asleep. Maybe you'll stay there forever.

You are now on top of the roof again. You then look up at Selena’s mountain, which sort of looms in front of you. You also spot your lusus, circling over where Selena’s cave is.

==> Kahili: Shout into megaphone Kahili: Selena! Kahili: Check Your husktop already! Kahili: I need to tell You about the teams!

You pace on your roof for a moment before hopping back to check your husktop. You’ve already gotten several messages since you were gone, cool!

==> Kahili: Respond

==> Kahili: Be interrupted You have a lot more to say to DU, but you stop midsentence when a large snapping sound grabs your attention. It sounds like a whole bunch of branches just snapped!

==> Kahili: Investigate sound You wander over to the hole in your roof and look around. The ground around here is covered in white feathers. A large white feather then drifts onto your nose and you pull it off to look at. Isn’t this your lusus’ feather? You examine the edges and see that it’s speckled in yellow blood.

==> Kahili: Look up You stare up in disbelief at the body of your lusus, tangled in the branches of the tree above you. Its body has been battered by the branches of the tree and one of its four magnificent wings is clearly bent out of place. It’s a horrible sight, and as you gaze up at it a single droplet of golden yellow blood splatters onto your face. You decide to captchalogue a handful of your lusus’ feathers and go to sit at your husktop. You have a lot of to say about this, but you’re not certain who to speak to first. You really want to tell Ariyan about it, but you don’t want to make her worry. There’s also DU, but you don’t know her all too well. The only other troll you can think of is the one who’s had the same experience as you.

==> Kahili: Message citrusDealer

==> Selena: Message WI

[font=courier]

Gog damit… you got caught up in your conversation with Kahili and it looks like VP started trolling you, hey at least you don’t have to begin pestering him yourself :D!

==>Vessta: Search for SGrub disk You begin to search for the SGrub disk and decide to start with the small pile across the room from your guns. You search a lot through it but don’t find it but you did find a container of paint in it, you decide to capturelog it I you awesome Box of matches syllabus. It allows to burn stuff.

==>Vessta: Search more You search in a pile of junk in the chair next to your guns. Dang-it just a bunch of glass dishes but you do like the chair, it spins and rolls around.

==>Vessta: Capturelog the chair You capturelog the chair. crash CRAP! The dishes fell to the ground and shattered everywhere! Look at this mess! You don’t have time to clean it up now though, you'll do it later, but decide to capturelog some of the glass pieces and continue your search.

==>Vessta: Search elsewhere It doesn’t seam that the disk is in your room so you have to search somewhere else. You head down the stair in search of the disk but you find a pistol lying on the stairs. What is it doing here! Its getting filthy! Your Lusus is probably there. It’s been covered in smoke; you decide to capturelog it for now. You continue to head down the stairs and see a blue glow coming from the bottom of the stairs, it’s your Lusus. You head towards your Lusus and see it is sleeping on the shelf. Thank goodness the shelf is metal it probably would have burned to ash otherwise, but the shelf is probably burning hot. You just love to admire your Lusus’s blue flames; you haven’t been able to make a fire like its flames. Your Lusus is a four winged bird with a huge fan like tail. It’s even better than the other birds like it because your Lusus is naturally coated in blue flames, it makes your house really warm. You just sit there for a little while and admire it until something catches your eye. It’s the SGrub game disk and it is on the scorching hot shelf next to your Lusus! Gog Dam-it! That will be so~ hard to get because you can’t touch the shelf and you don’t want to wake your Lusus. You get a metal rod from the floor to try to scrape the disk off. The metal should stay cool enough to get the disk

==> Vessta: Get the game disk You finally get the game disk and capturelog it before it hits the ground. You also capturelog the metal rod too. It might come in handy again later.

==> Vessta: Head back to your room to install SGrub [/font]

You already laid your lusus to rest, returned to your hive and found a message from Kahili. How can the lususes of two trolls, especially two so close in blood, die on the same day? You smell a COnSpiraCY, but you quick brush it off. You find that the game is downloaded and installed, you just need to click go. Or whatever the button to begin is. First you should speak to the troll who's hosting you and the one you're hosting.

==> Kartuu: Pester PB and HF

You decide to pester PB and HF, havng found out that PB will be hosting you and you will be hosted by HF.

((Anyone who's around fancy roleplaying HF for a short while, I'll repay them in kind later :p))

Kirtan: Get started on the game already!

You can't do that, you don't have a partner yet!

==>

Oh wait someone is trying to talk to you on trollian.

=> Download SGRUB

You already did that! Not to mention a while ago, better get started.

You feel a bit flattered, but no time for that! He may just be trying to get you off guard...

=>

Well you needed that one, godspeed mysterious troll you sneaky bastard you.

((It seems a bit like PB is acting like CD's host, but CD is actually PB's host... Did you get confused or did PB?))
