Descriptions of some common FATE game mechanics and how they'll be implemented lie below, but if I get this from all five (six?) players, ...

Hey, you remember when Apples never posted for her character and the next person got into the game?

Neither do I. That is a thing now.

EDIT: WELL SINCE YOU NINJA'D ME WITH THINGS I WAS GOING TO USE~

Pick three skills your character would be AVERAGE at. Computer use, Stargazing, Running

[07:54] TM: Uh, me and my allies bought you a gift. It's a travel ticket!
[07:55] SL: Oh?

[07:56] TM: We'd like to play a game with you.
[07:56] SL: Oh so its a viral marketing thing
[07:57] TM: Yeah, kinda hahaha. But seriously, it's free.
[07:57] SL: Are the viruses free too?
[07:57] TM: No, they cost us a lot of money
[07:57] TM: And by that I mean parts.

>Sirius: What?

You look behind yourself just in time to see a flash of green light. Lowering your arms from your face, you notice that on your desk lies two green disc flaps, each labeled "SUBURB."

What will you do?

>Everyone else's server/client: finish installing.

We simply do not have time for all this waiting around! The current connections are Achim->Johnathan and Jack->Penny. Andrew sees a PERFECTLY GENERIC OBJECT fly at his bookshelf from nowhere and appease Smokey the Bear.

[TherosPherae]

TB: Piss around mindlessly with controls. That is, after all, the best way to learn how things work.

[Dermonster]

"What in the everloving hell."

See if discs are real. Attempt to wake self from dream.

TB: Piss around mindlessly with controls. That is, after all, the best way to learn how things work.

(Hacking [Fair] +0 vs. ? ? ?) You piss around with the controls for a bit. After a moment, a large tube with a rectangular base and a spirograph insignia on top is dropped right next to the girl in the viewport.

"What in the everloving hell."

See if discs are real. Attempt to wake self from dream.

After poking around for a bit, you determine the discs are, without a doubt, absolutely real. So real that you can touch them, taste them, even smell them. Not saying you did these, just that you can.

[Dermonster]

Attempt to see if mysterious person is online.

[freeformschooler]

Attempt to see if mysterious person is online.

Nope, definitely not online. It's like a hit and run, but the damage is a magic adware. Some of the others might make it online soon, though...

[Dermonster]

Sirius frowns and glances back at the envelopes. "Dammit... one of these guys better have an answer." He rubs his forehead. "I am entirely too sober for this. To the fridge!"

To the fridge! Mentally examine my dwelling place as I do so for bugs. How DID that guy know what my place looked like?

[Ochita]

Jonathan was stunned for a while, how were his things being moved around, fires being started, and most of all he didn't have a clue if this was magic or if it was a dream! This was a serious situation!

DD: Great Graphics!
DD: Sorry for messing up your Sim's room
DD: One moment, I will put it back...
LR: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LR: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LR: THAT BOOK ALMOST HIT ME
LR: AND NOW YOU STARTED A FIRE WHAT
LR: AND NOW YOU THREW A CUBE AT IT OR SOMETHING?
LR: WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON?

Panic, and try not to lose it!

[ShoesandHats]

>Examine cube.

Unless it was a mistake.

It was a mistake, no cube for you Start pestering!

Panic, and try not to lose it!

You flip out so hard you go all the way around and flip back in. Crisis averted.

Sirius frowns and glances back at the envelopes. "Dammit... one of these guys better have an answer." He rubs his forehead. "I am entirely too sober for this. To the fridge!"

To the fridge! Mentally examine my dwelling place as I do so for bugs. How DID that guy know what my place looked like?

WHO KNOWS?? Oh, right, the bugs. After grabbing a decent wine, you look around for any sort of spying implements. (Exploration [Mediocre] vs. ? ? ?) No bugs in sight, though. Maybe the dude had a telescope of his own? Clearly this is now a war of telescopes.
