Alphonse's POV
PESTERLOG 001#
ClockworkPsychologist has started pestering Group at 4:33 pm
CP: So, are we all ready to play?
Hi, this is me, ClockworkPsychologist. Or at least, this is my Pesterchum handle. It’s the name I use when I am talking to my friends online
PD: Yup! :)
This is pastaDog. She is my online friend. She likes anime and crap, but I never got her obsession. We know each other from real life.
PW: I was born ready, YOU DO NOT QUESTION THE MIGHTY POTATO!
This is PotatoWalrus. He is a nice guy when you get to know him. I met him online and since then he has been my cannon fodder and my hitman in my online games. I am just in the background, doing most of the damage. I was not amused by his remark.
DH: Lets go ahead and launch the server. Remember your server players!
This is DevilsHandmaid. I met her online as well. In real life, she is kind of introverted and soft spoken. But online, she is probably the most assertive and perverted person I know. She is pretty much the female Notch.
So, I inserted my copy of the SBURB beta. I can’t believe that I actually got copies of these! Of course it’s hard to get a copy of a beta, but this SBURB beta is kinda popular. I remember having a similar discussion with DH on Pesterchum on the same subject, she said something about fate. Of course, being a religious man, I took it with a grain of salt. When it comes to my terms, there is no fate. Everything happens on God’s whims. Anyhoo, I launch the download client. It was somewhat hypnotizing to watch. In fact, it didn’t take long to load at all.
CP: Wow! I can’t believe how fast this thing loads.
DH: I think that merits for the game’s quality.
PD: No kidding, this thing was fast!
Soon, the menu screen popped up. It only had two options. The first said “Play Game” and the second is “Play Game: Server Player”. I knew that DH was my server player, so I clicked the first option. It said “Searching for Server Player..” on my screen once I clicked the option and it hesitated. It seemed to be loading or somthing. Soon, it showed a name under a skull-like symbol.
CP: Does anyone know a Hannah Medraco?
PD: No.
PW: Why do you ask that in the middle of nowhere?
CP: Nevermind.
DH: I think I know who that is.
CP: Who?
There really wasn’t a response after that, like she knew but didn’t wish to tell me. Anyhoo, I turn my attention back to the SBURB game. The thing on the screen was quite peculiar. You see, the character featured on the screen was none other than me. I get up off my computer and move around, keeping my focus on the screen. Whenever I moved on the screen, the little on-screen representation of me moved as well.
CP: Please tell me I’m not the only one seeing this.
DH: Seeing what? The man on the screen moving around?
CP: That’s ME.
DH: O_o
PD: You’re the video game character?
PW: Dude, that’s messed up. Check to see if there is any cameras set up in your room or some shit.
CP: I’m pretty sure that’s illegal, dude.
DH: Here, go downstairs, I placed something for you.
I grab my phone and go downstairs. There is an app on it that allows me to chat with DH, PW, and PD. As I exit the stairs I notice a giant machine standing in my living room. It looks like a capsule, but I’m not sure what it is.
CP: Is this because of the game?
DH: Yup, I spawned it in.
PW: You gotta help me here, what’s going on over there?
CP: DH spawned a huge-ass machine in my living room.
PD: Is that okay?
PW: Of course not.
PW: Man, you're so screwed.
CP: I know that, but shouldn't we see what it does before my mom kills me because of this thing?
DH: It’s your funeral.
I pull the wheel attached to the capsule-looking thing. No matter how hard I tried it wouldn't budge. Eventually, DH had a hand in the machine, and it popped open like a can of TAB.
CP: Nice work, DH!
DH: I only offer the best.
PD: Well, me and PW will start our server later.
PW: Well, PD wants to make sure you’re okay.
CP: Of course, your commentary is much supported!
DH: And what are you gonna do, just sit there?
PD: :(
PW: Harsh.
Out of the machine pops a circle of ethereal light, a enchanting light blue color. Utterly confused, I go to see what it is. It’s so mysterious in a weird-ball-of-light kinda way.
CP: What is that thing?
DH: Dunno
CP: Very helpful…
PD: What does it look like?
CP: A thing.
PW: Then it’s probably a thing.
DH: Hold on, I’ll look it up.
PW: She’s gone, quick!
PW: Let’s talk shit about her!
CP: *Rolls eyes*
PD: *Hits PW with something heavy*
PW: Ow, watch it!
DH: I’m back, I searched it up on the MSPAINT Wiki.
CP: ?
PD: Don’t leave us in suspense!
DH: It’s call a Kernelsprite, you’re supposed to throw something in it.
I smile and I go into my back yard and grab a shovel. I then get a tiny coffin with the initials FE on it. It was my dead cat, Fluffy Edward. I quickly throw it in the kernelsprite, then the sprite takes the form of my dead cat. Well, sort of. It has a ghostly tail and is holding the coffin. It’s still in it’s deathbed clothing, a tuxedo and such. I stared up at it. It was amazing!
CP: DH, DH, come look at my wonderful creation!
DH: Kind of busy trying to save your ass here.
PD: ?
DH: Look outside, I’ve been able to manage the small group.
DH: But everyone I smash one spawns in!
CP: DH, I think I need to take care of this.
Outside was a group of cats. They were rabid cats trying to get past a poorly made fortress. She dissembled the fortress.
DH: Have at them.
Author's Note
Well, this chapter was due in for a MAJOR rewrite, I'm glad I fixed it. This way, we can know what's going on better and esablish some characters. Also, I'm not cannon fire-ing of events like a party pony with a party cannon. Darkstar195, here's looking at you kid.
