cameoAppearance: psychicPassenger: Can you take me to the right place?
knightFawe: Khalida: *Can she commission a solid gold statue of herself in game frank?)
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (of course she can!)
knightFawe: Khalida: *Solid gold Khalida statue in her mansion.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: 0f c0ur53!
cameoAppearance: psychicPassenger: ::::D
knightFawe: Khalida: *Power tripping, not gonna lie. Probably one of the wealthiest people in game. She has a lot of free time.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: | w|11 53nd y0u 4n |nv|53 r|gh5 4w4y
knightFawe: Khalida: *Has loyal legions of drones!*
cameoAppearance: Dora: *Logs in to the TV3s.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *quickly sends Magnolia an invite*
knightFawe: Khalida: *She's only got one of the letters left now. She's saving it to see if it appreciates in value.*
knightFawe: Khalida: $_$
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *waits near the teleport circle to the islands*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: *Shows up before long*
knightFawe: Khalida: *Trade chat* Thanks for my golden statue, peeps.
knightFawe: Khalida: It's rad and I'm totally putting the last letter in a diamond safe.
knightFawe: Khalida: *Guildchat* heh, we got those suckas
knightFawe: Ugg: *Feeling like a winner. That'll show that asshole that tried to stab her! She won this!*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *nods to Magnolia* Hello
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Helloooooooo.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I can hear all 8 of your os
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: ^_*
knightFawe: Khalida: *Trade chat* LAST copy of [The Mysterious Letter], authentic! PST offer!
ArchDukeFerdinand: Zylon: *waiting on Magnolia*
knightFawe: Khalida: *Should really be using a 2X3DENT at this stage.*
Pieguy: Anna: *presumably home from the park with the Val*
knightFawe: Khalida: *Commissioned a nerd to solve it for her. Likely fleecing a rube with her feminine wiles! Suckas.*
NiteBrite: Valencia: *looking at teh TVIII boards*
Pieguy: Anna: *has not stopped studying*
knightFawe: Ugg: *There's probably money to be made here. Money and loot. Yes. Also rubes.*
NiteBrite: Valencia: UGH.
Pieguy: Anna: Hmm?
knightFawe: Ugg: *Sneeze*
NiteBrite: Valencia: This unsolvable mystery is frustrating. Whys it gotta be so... you know? Unsolvable.
knightFawe: Khalida: *Goes to pick which of her HELLA EXPENSIVE rare mounts to ride there.*
Pieguy: Anna: No mystery is unsolvable. *turns page*
NiteBrite: Valencia: *gestures wildly at Red's screen*
ArchDukeFerdinand: Khalida: *managed to really swindle the code out of someone. A player by the name of B.T.Sage. All he wanted was some useless throwaway event item from the game's debut. A little ring with no value at all, that only increases your defense by 1*
NiteBrite: Valencia: Uh huh, its a crazy coded message on the internet.
knightFawe: Khalida: *Probably has a few of those so why not???*
ArchDukeFerdinand: B.T.Sage: *yesssss*
Pieguy: Anna: *glances over at the screen* You are sure it is a code? It looks like random computer nonsense.
knightFawe: Khalida: *This is why she hoards promo loot like a mad dog.*
NiteBrite: Valencia: The internet says its a code.
Pieguy: Anna: *peers* That would be more correctly termed a cipher, if it is indeed one.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Is there a difference?
knightFawe: Khalida: *its not like she isn't loaded enough to buy even more, and who knows what phat lewts are to be gained?*
Pieguy: Anna: Well, it could be a code, but if so it would require a codebook or some form of key. A cipher just requires knowledge of the particular algorithm.
Pieguy: Anna: It seems more likely to be a cipher.
knightFawe: Khalida: dude why did you even want the lameo promo ring?
Pieguy: Anna: Whatever it is, decrypting it without knowledge of how it was encrypted would be extraordinarily difficult.
knightFawe: Khalida: I'm not saying it's got no collectible value, but it's rubbish.
NiteBrite: Valencia: difficult... but, not impossible?
ArchDukeFerdinand: B.T.Sage: Does it matter? You got what you want, I got what I want. *acquires Nibel Ring!*
Pieguy: Anna: Brute forcing it would take a long time, and essentially just be guessing.
Pieguy: Anna: If there was a hint or a key, then it would be easier.
ArchDukeFerdinand: B.T.Sage: Does it matter? You got what you want, I got what I want. *acquires Nibel Ring!*
knightFawe: Khalida: wevs I got like ten of those.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Well, there was supposedly a second message after this one that was really fishy
knightFawe: Khalida: now gimme the goods
Pieguy: Anna: Show me, then.
ArchDukeFerdinand: B.T.Sage: Yes, well...enjoy your code. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for there. *he opens up a message box and then types in an email to Khalida* There. I sent it to you
NiteBrite: Valencia: hang on. *minimizes vampire chatroom*
ArchDukeFerdinand: B.T.Sage: You're the only one I have this too
NiteBrite: Valencia: *scrolls back to the start of the thread and shows anna the admin message*
knightFawe: Khalida: I'll find a trove of rainbow-hued meepledoves?? Amg they are worth so muccccch
ArchDukeFerdinand: B.T.Sage: Hey, you never know.
Pieguy: Anna: *eyes it critically* This was sent directly after the first message?
knightFawe: Khalida: *opens email, read*
NiteBrite: Valencia: S'what it says. *points at screen*
Pieguy: Anna: "Prime" should not be capitalised in that sentence.
Pieguy: Anna: It could, if connected to the cipher, indicate prime numbers.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Yeah, I thought that might be a name, you know, like Optimus Prime or whatevs but pursuing the transformers fans really didn't pan out. *shudders*
ArchDukeFerdinand: Email: The coded message simple reads HELP ME GO TO GODDESS TEMPLE. SUNSET. SPRING FESTIVAL. I'm sure you know where the spring festival is. There is no Goddess Temple in the game, but there was one in the original game, on the Brynwulf islands. Which just so happen to be in this version of the game.
ArchDukeFerdinand: Email: head to the main island, that's where it was
knightFawe: Khalida: Cool beans, I guess you earned the unbelievably shitty ring?
ArchDukeFerdinand: B.T.Sage: Thanks
knightFawe: Khalida: later gator *hops on white riding dragon, takes off*
ArchDukeFerdinand: B.T.Sage: *leaves*
Pieguy: Anna: *scans the original message again* "Please help me go to goddess temple sunset spring festival".
NiteBrite: Valencia: ....
NiteBrite: Valencia: What.
NiteBrite: Valencia: How.
Pieguy: Anna: I read all the characters corresponding to prime numbers.
NiteBrite: Valencia: ?_?
Pieguy: Anna: *already back to her book* A number is prime if it can only be divided by itself and by one. Two, three, five, seven, eleven, thirteen and so on. Reading only those characters, in order, produced the plaintext in that cipher. Simple, really, once the algorithm was figured out.
NiteBrite: Valencia: I know what a prime number is. I meant how did you count all those numbers so fast. There must be hundreds
knightFawe: Khalida: *Chills on dragon back. She's bringing her best gear along, just in case.*
Pieguy: Anna: I am very good at math.
NiteBrite: Valencia: If I was doing it, I'd probably sat here all day
Pieguy: Anna: I assume you know what the message means.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Not really :j
knightFawe: Khalida: *While she waits, she creates a macro that can be pasted in guildchat with a click in case she gets in over her head.*
NiteBrite: Valencia: But! Thats what the internet is for.
NiteBrite: Valencia: *its apparently not that difficult to look up?*
Fawe: Khalida: *Gonna be so rich and fleece suckas and get that last elusive noncombat pet.*

toothsomeCameo has changed the topic on channel #classmatestng to 4/20 smoke homestuck erryday.
toothsomeCameo: (...oops)
toothsomeCameo: (im good at topic)
Fawe: (wanker)
toothsomeCameo has changed the topic on channel #classmatestng to nerds playing an RPG playing nerds playing an RPG.
prinnybroos: I don't think they're all nerds
FrankOfTheNorthStar has joined #classmatestng.
Pieguy: Anna: Well, let me know how it turns out. When is this "spring festival"?
NiteBrite: Valencia: Thats uh, tonight I think
Pieguy: Anna: A good thing I solved it, then.
NiteBrite: Valencia: *internet searches for information about the temple of the twilight goddess, hopefully its not too difficult to find*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *it will not be too difficult to find. After searching through some old sites and boards you find that it was a place in Gen I od the game*
NiteBrite: Valencia: Oh! I found the thing.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *And a map is easily procured. Showing its location on the Brynwulf islands*
NiteBrite: Valencia: Its old game stuff, gen I even.
Pieguy: Anna: Does it even still exist?
NiteBrite: Valencia: I think its gone, but the place where it was is still a place? Like these islands are still around.
Pieguy: Anna: Strange that this message would tell you to go to a place that is not there any more.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Ohmygah, I'm getting excited. Even if its just an empty field, I gotta go check it out.
Pieguy: Anna: How long do you have until sunset in the game?
NiteBrite: Valencia: The game has a day/night cycle.
Pieguy: Anna: And how long until night?
NiteBrite: Valencia: !!!
NiteBrite: Valencia: *CHECKS*
NiteBrite: Valencia: A little, but not much D:
Pieguy: Anna: Then you had best hurry.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Do you want to come with me? You figured it out after all.
Pieguy: Anna: I do not play... what is the game called, anyway?
NiteBrite: Valencia: Its Twilight Valkyrie the third and its a super fun VR
Pieguy: Anna: Mm. I do not play it.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Are you sure? I got a spare headset and everything.
Pieguy: Anna: I have never been especially interested in videogames.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Ever play a virtual reality game though? They're like, a billion times cooler than regular old games
Pieguy: Anna: I was not aware that coolness was quantifiable.
NiteBrite: Valencia: I know right? Its just that cool, that, somehow it is.
Pieguy: Anna: Virtual reality or no virtual reality, I do not play video games.
NiteBrite: Valencia: But what if I need you and your wizard brain?
NiteBrite: Valencia: For more puzzles and stuff
Pieguy: Anna: Then you may ask me for help.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Like, you'd have to lean over my shoulder or pull up a chair anyways to even see the screen. But I guess it could work.
Pieguytablet: Anna: In any case, I doubt there would be enough time for me to set up a character before sunset.
NiteBrite: Valencia: We aren't in that much of a hurry.
NiteBrite: Valencia: I can totes crash course you through character creation.
Pieguytablet: Anna: Is there a way to observe without playing? Key the second headset to your vision, perhaps?
Pieguytablet: Anna: *examining headset* Hm... nothing that would be any use. Alright, then. But just for this occasion.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Yesss :D
NiteBrite: Valencia: You are the best
Pieguytablet: Anna: Well, let us hurry then.
NiteBrite: Valencia: *passes Red to Anna. * pick a race, human, elf, beast, esper dwarf. Then a class like sword guy, spell dude, or scythe buffy man. The rest is just aesthetics.
Pieguytablet: Anna: *ends up creating a human spell lady who looks exactly like her, called AnnaChang3587*
Pieguytablet: Anna: *is imaginative as balls*
NiteBrite: Valencia: *made an elf bow lady who looks like herself, only she was made back when she was still leonard*
NiteBrite: Valencia: You look adorbs in spell robes :3
NiteBrite: Malum: *valencia's character*
Pieguytablet: AnnaChang3587: Well, shall we go to this temple?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (the game will not allow numbers like that in your name)
Pieguytablet: (Ah, I figured that someone might already have taken AnnaChang)
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (your good)
NiteBrite: Malum: hang on, *drops box from inventory* Take this. Its starter gear so, you know, you don't get one shot by babby monsters
Pieguytablet: AnnaChang: Thankyou. *equips it after working out how*
NiteBrite: Malum: All set?
Pieguytablet: AnnaChang: I should be. Where is the temple?
NiteBrite: Malum: *whistles and a horse gallops up to her house*
NiteBrite: Malum: *brushy brushy mane* Thats a good boy Artax.
NiteBrite: Malum: Hop on. Artax knows the way.

[Cameo]

iFawe: Khalida: *so what's all this fuss about these are teribubble deserted islands.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Islands: *They are pretty isolated, and have some relatively low level mobs there. A couple of mining points here and there but over all just empty. A lot of rumors have sprout up over the islands if they have any super secret spawning mob, but nothing identified*
iFawe: Khalida: *Well that'll do to pass the time. Mining and searching for this loot piñata. Being high level and geared to the eyeballs has it's perks!*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Mining points: *are honestly real shit. Like, copper and stuff*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *near the center of the main island he is standing there with Magnolia. Waiitng for sundown, I suppose*
iFawe: Khalida: *Bah she's tripping copper. Well, where's this so called legendary creature it probably drops a rare mount.*
iFawe: Khalida: *Flapping around on her White Dragon. Gotta find loot!*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *looks up at Khalida flying around. Just watches, says nothing*
iFawe: Khalida: *Clearly emote /dancing on the back of the dragon. They should really get around to fixing that.*
iFawe: Khalida: *nah but for realsies she'll land near Jerk 1 & Jerk 2.* sup
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Yo
iFawe: Khalida: *amg you can cut the tension with a KNIFE!!1!!1*
iFawe: Khalida: Just FYI, I will try and screw you out of whatever loot's gonna appear. Just gonna go ahead and put that one on the table.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I'm sure
iFawe: Khalida: at least I'm being honest. Normally I just fleece suckas.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: So I'm assuming you don;t want to party up
iFawe: Khalida: idk mebee. depends on how rough stuff gets
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Well, we won;t be able to party up mid fight. But if we party its even loot distribution
iFawe: Khalida: *fffffff*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *grins*
iFawe: Khalida: ugh fine you get a pass because I dunno if I can solo you
iFawe: Khalida: my gears hotter but 71 I mean wtf dude
iFawe: Khalida: neeeeeeerd
iFawe: Khalida: *Not much talking room here she's 69.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *he gives her a thumbs up and then sends a party invite* I play a lot
iFawe: Khalida: pp sure youre lucky to have like the best heals server side here <----- *accept*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon; Well, I'm the best DPS there is. So there is that
iFawe: Khalida: *has pretty much not stopped jumping in circles since she got here. She's one of THOSE players.*
iFawe: Khalida: any sucka can deeps shit falls apart without tanks and heals
iFawe: Khalida: *Chose Elf because they do little forwardflips when they jump.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I respect a good healer. I have to solo mostly. I do a little of everything.
iFawe: Khalida: well my guild is always recruiting people who aren't baddies, ill just boot our lowest deeps
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I've heard you were pretty impressive
iFawe: Khalida: <UNDERWATER MERMAID PRINCESSES> is the premier raiding guild this server yo.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I haven't been in a guild in a while
iFawe: Khalida: the name is ironic or somethin
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon; it sounds ridiculous
iFawe: Khalida: <BEEP BEEP I'M A JEEP> was taken
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: That's even more ridiculous
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: You need somrthing powerful, with flair
iFawe: Khalida: that's for lame nerds who care more about names than raids
automaticCameo: Magnolia: *Quietly observing.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I care about both
iFawe: Khalida: also what's with the scrub
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: She is a very good friend
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Don't dis Magnolia
iFawe: Khalida: I could totes oneshot her like five times over
automaticCameo: Dora: *Hooked up a copy of future-fraps to record whatever happens, but so far 'whatever happens' has been this obnoxious jerk talking shit.*
iFawe: Khalida: *And jumping in circles!*
automaticCameo: Magnolia: Why are we partying up with someone who flat-out told us she'd steal any and all loot?
iFawe: Khalida: can't ninja in a party yo
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Magnolia's level or power is irrelevant. She is a freind and I want her here. *looks to her* But if things get too dangerous, you should escape
automaticCameo: Magnolia: I'll take that under consider8ion
iFawe: Khalida: also would you want me where you could track me or lurkin somewhere elves are good at sneak
iFawe: Khalida: smart move partying up
iFawe: Khalida: what level you at scrub
automaticCameo: Dora: *pfft she can put up with a dead character if that's the price of learning something secret*
iFawe: (Something........ Sekret?)
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *going through his gear*
automaticCameo: Magnolia: 39. ::::|
automaticCameo: Dora: *personally, she expects neither monsters nor loot, just some kind of mysterious and inexplicable occurrence*
iFawe: Khalida: cool beans *opens trade, dumps in a bunch of high-end mystic swordsman stuff fit for the level*
automaticCameo: Dora: o_o
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *raises an eyebrow*
iFawe: Khalida: easier to keep you healed if you're not wearing shitty auction house gear
automaticCameo: Magnolia: Thanks.
iFawe: Khalida: and I'm pretty sure I actually invented cash given how much I got
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Thanks
iFawe: Khalida: drawback is its some lameo cobalt colour
automaticCameo: Magnolia: I like co8alt. ::::)
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: hehe, you don;t know Magnolia very well
iFawe: Khalida: I don't know anyone very well, except my like 200 dif mounts
automaticCameo: Dora: *yessssssss Magnolia Mindfang is ready to take on all challengers!!!!!!!!*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: You know, maybe you should try to fix that. You might end up surprised what you find
iFawe: Khalida: lmao dude you sound like an after school special
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Really?
iFawe: Khalida: yep
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *looks to magnolia* Do I sound that bad?
iFawe: Khalida: back me up blue
automaticCameo: Magnolia: Little bit, but you've got a point.
iFawe: Khalida: laaaaaame
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Yeah, see? Wait. What do you mean by "a little bit?"
iFawe: Khalida: she means a lot but is being nice
automaticCameo: Magnolia: If I meant a lot I would just have agreed ::::|
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I'm not sure how to think about this
iFawe: Khalida: lel
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I am supposed to be cool
iFawe: Khalida: LEL
automaticCameo: Magnolia: Zylon, you're my pal, but cool is not a word I'd use for you.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Whatver. I'm coolk, right Magnolia?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Damn
iFawe: Khalida: lel lel lel
iFawe: Khalida: cool is having a bigass golden statue of yourself
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon; No, that's gaudy
iFawe: Khalida: Cool
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Well...is it solid gold?
iFawe: Khalida: yep
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Well...ok. That is pretty awesome
iFawe: Khalida: yep
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon; How big is it?
iFawe: Khalida: huge
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon; *rubs his chin* I am intrigues
iFawe: Khalida: hi intrigues, I'm rich
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I want a giant gold statue of myself
iFawe: Khalida: lel
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Quiet.
iFawe: Khalida: gotta get the gold first
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Simple
iFawe: Khalida: pfffffft get farmin unless you wanna stake a claim in the auctions market
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Hmph....maybe
knightFawe: Khalida: I could give you a loan with a low interest rate
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Heh. I'll pass
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *boards horse* Is there some manner of compensation built in for the fact that I have never ridden a horse?
knightFawe: Khalida: derp derp derp why doesn't time go fasterrrr
NiteBrite: Valencia: Its not a real horse, you can just ride it.
NiteBrite: Artax: *gallops majestically towards the sea*
NiteBrite: Valencia: Now, you may be wandering, how are we going to ride a horse to an ~island~
Pieguy: AnnaChang: I was in fact wondering that, yes.
NiteBrite: Valencia: The answer is the horse can ride on a boat.
NiteBrite: Valencia: *tosses exact change at the boatman as she races the horse up onto a ship*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Boat: *takes quite a bit to get there, but eventually does! The island is empty,like I said before, but a small group of people can be seen at the center*
NiteBrite: Valencia: In retrospect, the captain was right. It was rude to just rush onto the ship when it moves sooo slooowly.
knightFawe: Khalida: *Jumping in circles*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: You were correct about the temple no longer being present, then.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Yeah.
NiteBrite: Valencia: But there are people over there.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: A boat has arrived
NiteBrite: Valencia: We should see what they are up to.
NiteBrite: Artax: *slowly trots towards the group*
knightFawe: Khalida: oh god is that starting gear
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Evidently there were others who solved the cipher.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: It's Valencia
NiteBrite: Vakencia: *Waves* Hey Zylon, Magnolia.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: You know them?
NiteBrite: Valencia: I party with them sometimes.
NiteBrite: Valencia: I don't recognize dragon elf lady though.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: I assume you do not refer to celebrations.
knightFawe: Khalida: lel
NiteBrite: Valencia: *snrk* no. I mean like a group of adventurers what group together to do adventurey stuff.
NiteBrite: Valencia: *derp, should press the talk button*
NiteBrite: Malum: Oh um, sorry, Hi Zylon, Magnolia. You guys figure out the code too?
automaticCameo: Magnolia: Yep.
knightFawe: Khalida: lotta scrubs for a deserted island
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: ....you were able to figure it out?
NiteBrite: Malum: Nope. My roommate did. *gets off horse and gestures to anna*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *dismounts* It was simple. I am surprised so few people are present.
knightFawe: Khalida: *Jump jump jump jump jump jump jump*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Ah. Of course
NiteBrite: Malum: Everyone, this is my roommate Anna, anna, this is everyone
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *looks up* it's almost sunset
automaticCameo: Magnolia: Hi Anna.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Hello.
knightFawe: Khalida: man I hope there's not fighting or the level one's gonna get vaped
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: If there is fighting, you should run
Pieguy: AnnaChang: I shall try, but there do not appear to be any places to which I could run.
NiteBrite: Valencia: Hopefully theres nothing too crazy.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: This is an empty island.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: for now
NiteBrite: Malum: I brought her, she'll be my responsibility to protect.
automaticCameo: Magnolia: You could give her some good gear. *shiny blue armor what up*
knightFawe: Khalida: Theres like... 0 items that are anything but cosmetic for 1s
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: There isn't much
NiteBrite: Malum: I sold all my spare gear for primo poisons the other day.
knightFawe: Khalida: did you get them off the auction house?
NiteBrite: Malum: Only the some of the ingredients. I had most of what I needed in my garden.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *A pegasus can be seen flying towards the island*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: I am only here for this event.
knightFawe: Khalida: sweet deal, what level?
knightFawe: Khalida: *Drops her portable bank again*
NiteBrite: Malum: I'm a level 36 bow master class.
knightFawe: Khalida: gimmie a mo
knightFawe: Khalida: *Gives Malum the Magnolia treatment, except it's all viney instead of blue.*
NiteBrite: Malum: :o woah
NiteBrite: Malum: You're just giving this to me?
knightFawe: Khalida: lel
knightFawe: Khalida: it's like level 36 gear, wevs
NiteBrite: Malum: I could hug you!! Thanks so much!!! :D
Pieguy: AnnaChang: There is a winged horse approaching.
knightFawe: Khalida: srs dude it's just random world drops
NiteBrite: Malum: Oh man, is that a pegasus?
knightFawe: Khalida: dragon > Pegasus
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Strictly speaking there was only ever one Pegasus, namely the winged horse which, in Greek mythology, assisted the hero Bellerophon in the defeat of the chimera. But yes, it is a winged horse similar to Pegasus.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *the pegasus lands on the islsnd with a blond woman on it. Aurelia is on it. She looks at Khalida, aghast* Oh no....
NiteBrite: Malum: pfft, maybe in terms of stats and stuff. But horses are like, 1000x cuter and brushable.
Pieguy: (what are you worried about aurelia just like call the rest of the boros)
knightFawe: Khalida: *lel*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: I should have known. *gets off her horse and it flies off*
knightFawe: Khalida: *Jump jump jump jump* lel
automaticCameo: Magnolia: Hi.
knightFawe: Khalida: nice peGAYsus
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: :|
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Winged horse.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: Can we just agree to start over for this?
automaticCameo: Magnolia: Just ignore her.
NiteBrite: Malum: I thought it was a cool mount :(
knightFawe: Khalida: *jump jump jump jump* sure why not
knightFawe: Khalida: it's already fruity rumpus asshole factory here
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: Ok, fine. *looks to everyone else* You know this is probably dangerous
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *thumbs up*
knightFawe: Khalida: man can I be level 70 yet I want to unlock Drain Life
Pieguy: AnnaChang: I am only here for this event, so it does not concern me.
knightFawe: Khalida: you should give me your slice of the loot pie then
NiteBrite: Valencia: I brought her in case of puzzles. Not all danger is violence
knightFawe: Khalida: man I mean I wanna test maximised drain life on a sucka
automaticCameo: Magnolia: Could you not
knightFawe: Khalida: if I wanted to test it on you you wouldn't be wearing blue duh
Pieguy: Dafyda: *messaging Magnolia* Yo Dora what the fuck are you doing on the Brynwulf Islands, aren't they like full of nothing
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: Well, all I'm saying is that if you have any misgivings you should-- *and just as she is speaking the sun sets and loud glitchy shrill sound comes from behind them. Like skrillex getting thrown into a blender*
automaticCameo: Dora: *Oh yes this is a perfect time for a PM notification*
knightFawe: Khalida: something sounds like skrillex bein thrown in a jet engine
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *flinches and puts her hands over her ears* Ouch.
NiteBrite: Malum: Bluuuuuh
knightFawe: Khalida: aka satisfying
cameoAppearance: Magnolia (PM): Here for some kind of secret event so far the sound is glitching out like fuck
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: *winces*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia (PM): Drop 8y if you can get here in time
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *behind them the game begins to glitch. garbled amounts of data appear and blocks of text and code appear. But in the center of the entire mess is a massive temple*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Awesome
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: *breathes in deep*
Pieguy: Dafyda (PM): Wait shit what really
Pieguy: Dafyda (PM): Goddamn do I even have accss to flying mounts yet
cameoAppearance: Magnolia (PM): Yeah it's like glitch city over here
cameoAppearance: Magnolia (PM): Come one come all watch the game shit the bed
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (there is a teleport gate there, if she has a gate key for that location. thats how Zylon and Magnolia got there*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: They seem to be carrying this "glitch" theme with admirable tenacity.
NiteBrite: Malum: Is that a building???
cameoAppearance: Magnolia (PM): Use the teleport g8 that's my advice
Pieguy: Dafyda (PM): So this is what that stupid key was for
Pieguy: Dafyda (PM): Fuck I gotta get to my bank
NiteBrite: (malum took the ship so her horse could get there)
knightFawe: Khalida: Let's roll
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (brb break)
cameoAppearance: (Or a 8r8k as Dora would put it)
knightFawe: Khalida: Time's ticking and there's loot with my name on it
NiteBrite: Malum: Onward to adventure.
Pieguy: (The key /is/ like a physical object right)
NiteBrite: (the key is a metaphor for enlightenment, clearly)
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *goes inside!*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: *nervously follows*
Pieguy: (Because were it not an actual object she wouldn't need to get it from the bank)
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (what are you talking about?)
Pieguy: (The gate key)
knightFawe: Khalida: *its just a game you nerds*
NiteBrite: Malum: *leads her horse inside*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (oh that. ok )
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *follows*
Pieguy: (So it is an actual object?)
knightFawe: Khalida: *In she goes!*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *the inside of the temple has a few game glitches. Bits of code appearing in the temple walls. The occasioanl ghost image of NPCs walking around. Sometimes the architecture seems to shift. But overall it is a large, greco roman style open temple. With a large altar at the end. *
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *in front of the Altar is a woman with long black hair, glitching out terribly, and seems to go from weeping, to writhing, to walking around confused. Glitching around the altar*
NiteBrite: Malum: ... Is this normal for special events?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I hope she doesn't attack us.
Pieguy: Dafyda: *hurries in after a minute or two* What'd I miss? Was it important? Was there any loot?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *And leaning against a column near the altar is a man in glistening plate mail and white hair. With a fancy sword at his side*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: *stops, putting her hand to her mouth*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Not really
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Not much, I don't think so, no
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Perhaps this is intended to break the fourth wall somewhat.
knightFawe: Khalida: hey zyclops let's ice that dude and get the sweet sword
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Not yet!
FrankOfTheNorthStar: ???: I wouldn't reccomend that
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Seeeeeeee?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: ???: *crosses his arms and watches them*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Hello.
knightFawe: Khalida: aw snap it ain't an NPC
Pieguy: (???... wait it's the rival from Pokemon Gold and Silver!)
knightFawe: Khalida: *PM to zyclops* let's ice this pc and take his sweet sword
cameoAppearance: (Zyclops: who the fuck is pming me)
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *PM to Khalida* I don;t even know if I can use it
Pieguy: Dafyda: *level thirtysomething mystic swordswoman* You weren't kidding about the game shitting the bed.
NiteBrite: Malum: Uh, do you know whats going on sir swordsman?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Yeah, I'm not sure if this is an ARG thing or if it's one of the Weird Secrets of Twilight Valkyrie.
knightFawe: Khalida: siiiiigh
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Glitching woman: *she screetches out a phrase, full of glitches* heeeeaalps mbbzzzzgheeeeeee
Pieguy: AnnaChang: If this person is another player, I did not see him arrive.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: How do we help you? ::::(
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Glitxhing woman: Screeches it out again and then teleports back to crying*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: ???: She can;t hear you
Pieguy: Dafyda: This is the freakiest shit I've ever seen in an MMO, and I've been to Goldshire.
NiteBrite: Malum: *starts walking closer towards the woman*
NiteBrite: Malum: *to attempt to grab her or something, she doesn't really have a plan*
knightFawe: Khalida: so what's your deal mr. Sword guy
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *examining the walls* This is beginning to give me a headache.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: *grabs Malum by the hand to stop her, shaking her head*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: You could call me by my name. Which is Balmung
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: What's her name?
NiteBrite: Malum: :(
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: At one time, she was called Dea
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: Now, she is a mess of Data and code.
Pieguy: Dafyda: So I'm guessing you're not an NPC then.
knightFawe: Khalida: given hes reacting in real time, duh
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: Yes and no
knightFawe: Khalida: Did you transfer here from a RP server cause kudos for commitment to the bit
Pieguy: Dafyda: If he was from an RP server he wouldn't be talking about data and code.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: Im not -not- an NPC
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: More of an NPC plus, maybe?
NiteBrite: Malum: It could be a very meta RP?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Are you one of the devs' characters?
knightFawe: Khalida: should watch community sometime
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: Not exactly. Think of me as a shadow. Just some leftover data of an old PC from a long time ago
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Digital ghost. Awesome
Pieguy: AnnaChang: I assume it is this glitch, if it is a glitch, that has brought you back.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: Exactly
knightFawe: Khalida: Like ReBoot?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Re what?
knightFawe: Khalida: old TV show with living computer dealies
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: I don;t know
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: Me. And her. *points to the glitching woman* COme from an old bit of code locked in the base kernel for the game that the developers couldn't uncover. So they just built around and on top of it
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: But somthing happened in the transfer. The base kernel got corrupted. It didn;t affect much for the first few years. But now it's started to seep through. And Dea was able to leak out a message to everyone in the game. Her own warning
Pieguy: AnnaChang: The coded message.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Warning about what?
knightFawe: Khalida: Oi, holier-than-thou righteouspants, how'd you know green shouldn't have touched it?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: The corrupted code
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: Umm...I've....I've seen it before
Pieguy: Dafyda: What, is it going to... crash some servers? What's the problem?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Might corrupt your character.
knightFawe: Khalida: go onnnnnnn
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: More then that. *to Khalida, the only other experienced player in the room* You've noticed. Haven't you? *What others may have noticed, or just noticed that Zylon mentioned it, is that their sense of...their senses seems more natural here. They can hear things better, feel the grip of their weapons, the weight of their armor.*
Pieguy: Dafyda: Yeah, that'd be a pain in the ass.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *and if anyone knows exactly how the game works, it would translate into the neural feedback of the VR set being increased in capacity*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: I've seen this happen before. A long time ago. it's dangerous. You should all leave...
knightFawe: Khalida: Fuck that this is cool. Yeah I noticed this biz hard not to.
knightFawe: Khalida: *Deploys her statue to illustrate this.*
knightFawe: Khalida: Now it's cooler. Bl
Pieguy: AnnaChang: The increased sensory acuity? I had not paid much attention to it.
cameoAppearance: Dora: I thought something seemed odd.
cameoAppearance: Dora: *ffff forgot to hit the talk button*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Why were you carrying your gold statue of yourself around wait stupid question.
knightFawe: Khalida: yeah it is a stupid question.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Of course you were carrying your gold statue of yourself around.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *nods* Yeah. Getting glitched up now might be bad
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: I know
Pieguy: Dafyda: Where do you get one of those?
knightFawe: Khalida: If you had a gold statue of yourself wouldn't you carry it everywhere?
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Given that we are interacting with the game through virtual reality headsets... the neural feedback must be increased in this area. Correct me if I am wrong.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: That's right.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Which could potentially lead to neural damage if it continues to increase, or if something goes wrong. Yes?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: yes, it could
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: *says nothing*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Immediate solution is simple, then. Remove the headsets and log out.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: With a neural synch ratio at this level that would be akin to removing your spinal cord from your brain. I would not reccomend it
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *laughs* Now we're getting fun
Pieguy: AnnaChang: We leave the area first, then, and travel to an uncorrupted zone.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: Listen, all of you. This corrupted code is spreading. it will start cracking through the game's code, affecting a lot of people. The safest thing would be to leave, yes
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: That's what I've been telling you!
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: What do you know a8out this, Aurelia?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Dea?: *She screams again, a loud glitched out wail and the enite temple glitxhes for a bit*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: Umm...umm...
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *claps hands over ears again* Ouch.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: >_*
knightFawe: Khalida: I bet she's one of them, one of the glitchy people.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *there is a loud crash and the stained glass behind the altar shatters into a rain of glitxhed boxes and code. What comes flying out of it is a a wraithlike figure, flashing lime green and white. he pulls a staff from inside himself and begins to flail it aound*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: We can talk about this later!
Pieguy: Dafyda: So, uh, that "leaving" thing still on the table?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: now we're playing with power. *draws his own staff*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Put the staff away, mister!
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: *That was addressed to the wraith*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *turns to Magnolia anyway* I'm trying to fight it
knightFawe: Khalida: *Draws her own staff, it's pointy!* Heh.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I was, uh, talking to the wraith. ^_*;
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon; Oh. Well, that makes more sense now
knightFawe: Khalida: It's undead, right? I got this one.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I'll watch your backs.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *the Wraith floats for a bit, and then it's name appears in front of it*
knightFawe: Khalida: Hey also scrub if you bail your loot pie is mine
Pieguy: AnnaChang: I doubt I could be of any use against this entity, and with the increased neural capacity of the headsets, dying at this point may be hazardous to my health.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Wraith: G8RL7NDA, $HE W%^ITH L(RD
Pieguy: AnnaChang: ...in any other circumstance, that final statement would sound ludicrous.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I'm recording the whole thing, I'll email it to you later if you have to leave early.
knightFawe: Khalida: Wraith sounds undead! *Maximized heal spell on that thingy.*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Assuming I don't, y'know........ die, or get serious brain damage.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Or, according to my theory, both.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Or die from serious brain damage.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: How does one leave the island without a boat?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: *gets heal spells up for the epic-tier fighting duo*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I suggest swimming. *Starts casting meteor swarms*
Pieguy: Dafyda: OK I am not tanking this guy.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I'm worried that if you touch him you might glitch.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Wraith: *Both the heal spell and the meteor swarm hit it and it seems completely uneffected. It moves forward and vanishes, glitching directly in front of Dafyda, ready to hit her with the staff*
Pieguy: Dafyda: At least he's not an evil time dragon.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Also: these two are like twice our level and SHIT
Pieguy: Dafyda: Motherf- *brings sword up to parry*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *attempting to slip out of the temple*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Anna: *escapes!*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *attempts to locate a point where she won't fry her brain if she logs out*
knightFawe: Khalida: Hax.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *the entire island is glitched out. SHe better start swimming....*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *does she at least have a gate key for the starting area*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *he pushes Dafyda out of the way and gets hit full on with the blow. he falls back into a pillar, his life bar going down a third. But on his arm, where he was hit, his model begins to glitch out*
Pieguy: Dafyda: Oh that is not good.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I told you! *Heals Zylon*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *he screams in pain for a bit, then holds his arm* Fuck....
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Healing: *has absolutely no affect. The glitching continues to go up his arm. Zylon's life bar continues to go down, the bottom parts glitching out*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: D::::
knightFawe: Khalida: *Heh.* *Lifedrain lasershow all up on thing.*
NiteBrite: Malum: *follows Anna* Hang on, I have a key.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: The developers should be notified of this.
NiteBrite: Malum: Escape first, notifications second.
knightFawe: Ugg: *Benefits of being a largely amorphous ooze? No pain receptors.*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Agreed. I shall open a support ticket once we are clear of the corruption.
cameoAppearance: Dora: *Ends first recording, starts second recording.*
NiteBrite: Malum: *attempt to warp key thing out with Anna*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *once again, the spell has no affect. The wraith aims its staff at Khalida and fires a blast at her, but Dea? glitches in front of the blast, deflecting it. Garbled source code flies out of her and lines of text and code begin to rain down on everyone there as they are filled with a strange and warm feeling*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: What the hell????????
Pieguy: Dafyda: Aagh, incoming Matrix shit!
knightFawe: Khalida: Hehe! Cutting edge of raid content, time to find a solution! *Hurls pointy staff mightily!*
Pieguy: Dafyda: She has lost her goddamn mind.
knightFawe: Khalida: My very own unbeatable boss! I always wanted a C'thun!
NiteBrite: Malum: Agh I feel really weird anw warm
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *can they successfully gate out*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *The strange code seems to mix in with them and they all find themselves healed. And, if they are perceptive, will notice a new skill in their skill list called "BR*4KE M*DE"
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: *hey what's this thing*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: *let's try it*
Pieguy: Dafyda: New glitch power? Alright, Missingno, eat this! *attempts to make Missingno eat that*
knightFawe: Khalida: *Sure why not, though she still thinks staff-flinging is badass.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *When BR*4KE M*DE is activated, Magnolia notices that her body glitches out for a split second, some lines of green code running up and down her body. All her stats are increased by WONKA AMMOUNTS, and glitched out. And she apparantly has 999/0 MP, if that's even possible? What? All her skills and artes seem all buggy and there is a strange counter at the top of her vision counting down from 1140*
cameoAppearance: Dora: *wtf is this shit*
cameoAppearance: Dora: *better act fast or get fried*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: *Uses her best nukey spell on G8RL7NDA $HE W%^ITH L(RD*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: *She quickly jumps out in front of everyone, taking out her crystal daggers and starts casting a series of buffs on everyone. The spells seem glitchy, but they affect everyone. She then starts casting debuffs on the wraith which...manage to affect it. In particular slow*
Pieguy: Dafyda: *I'm presuming the same thing happens when she does the thing*
knightFawe: Khalida: *Gonna wait out this button pressyness for now.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Wraith: *gets slammed by the nuke spell, and then glitches around the temple, before hitting Khalida in the back of her head for a nice chunk of damage*
NiteBrite: Malum: The gate doesn't seem to be working, lets just take artax and leg it by sea.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: How fast does Artax swim?
Pieguy: Dafyda: *that's what happens right?*
NiteBrite: Malum: Faster than I can on my own.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Then we shall take him.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *stands up, drawing his staff again* Now it's time to have fun
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *enters BR*4KE M*DE *
Pieguy: Dafyda: Ow, my internal consistency!
NiteBrite: Malum&&Anna&&Artax: *head to sea*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Khalida, are you alright over there?
Pieguy: Dafyda: *draws her sword... warhammer... swordhammeraxe wow that's a glitchy weapon*
knightFawe: Khalida: Oh noes, my HPs. *Heals.*
NiteBrite: Malum: *to anna* I have to say, this is not at all what I expected to happen.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: I am curious as to what you were expecting.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (did Khalida enter the BR*4KE M*DE ? )
knightFawe: Khalida: *Nope we might need more later!*
Pieguy: Dafyda: Eat swordhammeraxe... polearm... weapon, Agent Smith! *attempts some manner of magical weapon smashy upon the thing*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *in that case, her heals seem to have no affect on the damage she has taken*
NiteBrite: Malum: Uh, I dunno. Something more professional. Like a nice round of puzzles or just free loot from an admin for showing up. Certainly not super freaky brain frying glitches.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *points to Khalida: Magnolia
knightFawe: Khalida: Heals plz.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: I doubt anyone would have expected such a thing.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: *uses GR8R H8LPL0X on {{{KHALIDA}}}*
NiteBrite: Malum: No for reals, I thought it was an admin sponsered event :(
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Wraith: *he gets his by Dafyda's blow, taking a decent amount of damage*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: Which is why the admins should be informed. *is opening a support ticket*
Pieguy: Dafyda: Vanellope for the win!
knightFawe: Khalida: Oi Zyclops kill it already.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: *After hasting herself, she runs behind the wraith , turns invisible, and then leaps up, hitting it multiple times for multiple sneak attack hits*
NiteBrite: Malum: *might as well, they'll be swimming for ages*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Got it. *The wraith staggered from Dafyda's and Aurelia's blow, he casts his most powerful spell on the creature, expiring his 1 hour to nova charge it, and the beasts is destroyed, as it dissolves away into code and data*
knightFawe: Khalida: Aw snap what a scrub boss.
knightFawe: Khalida: *Retrieves pointy staff.*
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *in ticket* URGENT - An outbreak of corrupted code has occurred at the former site of the Temple of the Twilight Goddess on the Brynwulf Islands, and is raising neural synchronisation to dangerous levels. Please be advised that the corruption is threatening to spread, which would put the player population at risk of serious brain damage. Please address this problem immediately.
Pieguy: Dafyda: Well, that was all kinds of close.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Heh, that was simple. Plus I got a leet new ability
knightFawe: Khalida: I was hoping for like a rotation mechanic where half of us need the buff, and then we swap out if stacks get too high.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Stacks?
knightFawe: Khalida: Of like debuff.
Pieguy: Dafyda: You still haven't got this whole "not part of the game" thing, huh?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Maybe it was just like, a low level thing?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: I'd love to fight a full scale boss with this new mechanic
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Well, you seem to have handled yourself okay without BR*4KE M*DE.
knightFawe: Khalida: Did it drop any loot?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I'm not entirely convinced that I'd want to handle that thing's loot.
knightFawe: Khalida: No sense everyone busting out the new skill, what if it's got a heaps long cool down? Or some sort of polarity mechanic.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I get enough slow, insidious, radiating corruption in my home life.
Pieguy: Dafyda: That whole "threat of brain frying" completely passing you by...
knightFawe: Khalida: Yeah I don't have a physical brain. I'm a mystery to everyone.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *Loot was dropped! G8RL7NDA'S ST*FF"
cameoAppearance: Dora: *does not need to slowly turn into Vriska AND have first her RPG character and then her brain eaten by data corruption*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Hmm...a staff
knightFawe: Khalida: I use staves!
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Take it
Pieguy: Dafyda: How do I turn Vanellope mode off?
knightFawe: Khalida: Sweeeeet. *Nabs*
cameoAppearance: (Totally read that as 'G8RL7NDA'S STUFF')
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Staff: *increases MAG by -672 and STR by -358*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *yes. That's a negative number*
knightFawe: Khalida: Got a Geightrlsevennda's Stasteriskff.
knightFawe: Khalida: Ugg I hate it. *Mails it to a bank alt*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: No you're not pronouncing it right it's G8RL7NDA'S ST*FF
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Staff: *won;t leave her inventoiry*
knightFawe: Khalida: I am not equipping this legendary piece of shit.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *After defeating the wraith, the temple begins to de-glitch. going back to normal*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Dea?: She looks at everyone and then smiles a bit, before glitching out again, screaming, and sinking into the floor*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: Is everyone ok?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: *wince*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I feel okay.
knightFawe: Khalida: one of my inventory spaces is feeling violated.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I don't know if getting stuffed full of Matrix code did any harm.
Pieguy: Dafyda: I don't appear to have suffered any brain damage.
Pieguy: Dafyda: I don't appear to have suffered any brain damage.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I mean, a massive dose of ionizing radiation also feels sort of warm but not much else until you start puking up organs.
Pieguy: Dafyda: I don't appear to have suffered any brain damage.
Pieguy: Dafyda: Just kidding.
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I was wondering ::::/
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Khalida: *The staff actually takes up...no inventory space. Like, it created it;s own space just for the staff*
knightFawe: Khalida: I am going to exploit this somehow.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: It looks like Dea gave you all a gift. I'm sorry
NiteBrite: (It makes your inventory look all asymmetrically and dumb)
Pieguy: Dafyda: A gift?
Pieguy: Dafyda: ...sorry?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: The new skill?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Or Vanellope mode, as Dafyda put it.
knightFawe: Khalida: So Goody Two Shoes. What's it like being a computer bug person?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: What?
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *is it safe now*
knightFawe: Khalida: Like these guys. Cause you could hit the thing without the bug buff.
knightFawe: Khalida: Buffg? Bugff.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: Yes. Your character's code was altered. So you can affect the corrupted data. Vestigial parts of code form the first version of the game. The corruption of Dea's will
Pieguy: Dafyda: By "affect" you mean "beat the shit out of"?
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: Is this going to eat my brain eventually?
NiteBrite: Malum: *they probably haven't even gotten that far out to sea.*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (oh, sorry. she did use the bug buff. I forgot to mention)
NiteBrite: Malum: I wonder if its safe to take our helmets off.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: (my fault T_T )
knightFawe: Khalida: *Belay that*
knightFawe: Khalida: So what's the story sword guy.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: What you just fought, was garbage data. It's like the old game, in a broken form, is trying to rebuild and manifest itself into this game. using Dea
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: And she is trapped inside
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: So what, you just called up a bunch of innocent people to help you out? THIS IS DANGEROUS!?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: This is awesome
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: I'm sorry. But I have to help her. You're more then welcome to leave if you want.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: 8she looks at Balmung and turns away, mumbling* n..no. I'm fine...
Pieguy: Dafyda: So... we have to go fight the evil code monsters now?
knightFawe: Khalida: more loot?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: The items you may reviece, will be bits of data made up form the priginal game. items no longer in the, modified. Truly unique
knightFawe: Khalida: I'm in.
Pieguy: Dafyda: Or we could stop playing and not get our cerebral cortexes melted.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: Yes, that too
knightFawe: Khalida: That's for suckas, I ain't got one.
Pieguy: Dafyda: Hey, where's the level 1 and the elf?
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: I never said I wasn;t helping. Just that this is serious
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: They took off when it turned into a glitchy boss fight.
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: She's right. it is. If you are killed in any of these glitched areas. You will probably go comatose or brain dead in the real world
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: I know we are asking a lot of you. But- *the temple begins to glitch and fade, balmung;s model becomming impossible to understand*
Pieguy: Dafyda: If you die in the Matrix...
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Balmung: *finally he fades away, totally glitched away*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: And there he goes
knightFawe: Khalida: Whatever I got no stuff that's at risk of brain bad stuff.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *so how's that support ticket/escaping thing working out*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Aurelia: I still hope you take this a little seriously though. For anyone else who tries
FrankOfTheNorthStar: *she can just log out whenever now*
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: Oh I am so in this.
Pieguy: AnnaChang: *logs out*
cameoAppearance: Magnolia: I'll stick around.
Pieguy: Anna: Well, that was terrifying.
Pieguy: Anna: Please let me know if you ever wish to put me at risk of irreparable brain damage again.
knightFawe: Khalida: Don't wanna equip this staff in case I can't take it off
Pieguy: Dafyda: I don't generally accept quests involving the words "comatose" or "brain dead".
FrankOfTheNorthStar: Zylon: *looks at Magnolia, very serious* Are you sure? You could really get hurt
NiteBrite: Valencia: I swear I had no idea. I would never have gone.
Pieguy: Anna: It was, at the very least, educational.
NiteBrite: Valencia: .... you're not upset with me are you?
knightFawe: Khalida: *making the 'wank' hand gestures behind Zylon*
Pieguy: Anna: You had no way of knowing.
