Jonathan wondered what had happened, his head spun, and all he could do was really just stumble out of the door, blinking on the sight outside.

Look outside

>Penny: Have a look-see out the window.

[freeformschooler]

((Continuation of Derm's story in a bit. I've gotta study.))

>Penny: Have a look-see out the window.

Out the window you see only the pitch-black, starless darkness you saw earlier when you were on the roof.

>Andrew: Get up and look around

Well, the windows are still frosted over, so that's one thing. Will you look for something specific or in a specific place?

Jack: Continue beholding glory of Dovahtrixspr - no this is stupid. Check up on your clients.

You client seems to be looking around her house for something. A couple additional menus on the SUBURB client seem to have opened up, too.

CONFUSED AND AFRAID. EVERYTHING IS DARK NOW, AND I CAN HEAR VOICES. THEY SOUND FAMILIAR, BUT I CAN'T REACH THEM. OH GOD, WHAT DO I DO?

Jonathan wondered what had happened, his head spun, and all he could do was really just stumble out of the door, blinking on the sight outside.

Look outside

You head to the front door. Something seems very off about the outside view from here. Stepping onto the short steps just outside, you encounter something very strange.



Your house seems to be floating in an enormous dark void. Tiny fragments from the earth outside float alongside it.

Youmusprite floats over - seemingly out of nowhere - and looks out alongside you.

YOUMUSPRITE: Ah, the Land of Magick and-
YOUMUSPRITE: ...
YOUMUSPRITE: ...Something is very wrong.

[TherosPherae]

Jack: Check on your other client, too. Also, investigate additional menus.

[ShoesandHats]

>Andrew: Open the door. Something doesn't seem quite right.

[freeformschooler]

>Andrew: Open the door. Something doesn't seem quite right.

You open the door and almost fall off into the newly-created drop. The same dark void that Jonathan saw reaches out infinitely in front of you, but it seems to be moving. Or is it you that's moving?

Arthercrowsprite still is nowhere to be seen.

Jack: Check on your other client, too. Also, investigate additional menus.

You look through the menu at Andrew who seems to be standing over a large black void. His house is behind him. What?

The other menus are just as confusing as the old ones. One, represented by a green hammer icon, seems to be an extension to the normal Build menu - there's a bunch of new items to place down for either of your clients, but they're all greyed out. The second menu, represented by an Earth-like icon, is named "Fragmentation." It lists two strings:

CLIENT 1 - 2%

CLIENT 2 - ‘%$#)(

[ShoesandHats]

>Andrew: Close the door. Turn around slowly. Flip the fuck out.

[freeformschooler]

>Andrew: Close the door. Turn around slowly. Flip the fuck out.

You begin to flip the fuck out, but upon coming back inside, you notice your dad's laptop is beeping.

[ShoesandHats]

While you were FTFO, you pestered the only person who you thought might know what's going on.

[07:28] PS: What the fuck.
[07:28] AA: what
[07:28] PS: What the hell do you mean, what?
[07:29] PS: I just fucking opened my door and NOTHING IS THERE.
[07:29] AA: i repeat
[07:29] AA: what
[07:29] PS: I looked into that orb or whatever, and I guess I passed out or something.
[07:29] PS: I woke up on the floor, got up, and opened the door.
[07:30] PS: THERE WAS NOT A GODDAMNED THING THERE.
[07:30] AA: dude calm down
[07:30] PS: No, I will not fucking calm down.
[07:31] PS: You do not fucking calm down when you wake up one morning to discover that the Earth itself has just fucking disappeared.
[07:32] AA: look you yourself said it was a dream
[07:32] PS: Well it's not a goddamned dream anymore.
[07:32] PS: I don't dream much in the first place, and when I do, I do not dream of shit like this.
[07:34] PS: Besides, when I almost fucking fell off of my doorstep into who knows the fuck where, that did not feel fake.
[07:34] AA: okay dude calm the hell down
[07:34] AA: i mean
[07:34] AA: you have feathery right to be disturbed or whatfeather
[07:34] AA: but still
[07:35] PS: And what the fuck do you suggest I do?
[07:35] AA: i dunno
[07:35] PS: Then you have no fucking right to tell me to calm down.
[07:35] AA: look just find your
[07:35] AA: uh
[07:36] AA: dad?
[07:36] AA: i think that's what it's called
[07:36] AA: or something
[07:36] AA: or your sprite
[07:37] PS: Look, I couldn't give less of a shit about my Dad when the entire fucking Earth just disappeared.
[07:38] AA: really?
[07:38] AA: i thought you guys were really attached to your uh
[07:38] AA: parents
[07:39] PS: Not when THE FUCKING PLANET I LIVED ON JUST FUCKING DISAPPEARED INTO THIN GODDAMNED AIR.
[07:41] AA: look dude just
[07:41] PS: Calm down?
[07:41] AA: yeah
[07:41] PS: How about you explain what just happened and then I'll calm down?
[07:43] AA: look i
[07:43] AA: really don't know what to do at this point
[07:43] AA: uh
[07:43] AA: like i said find your sprite and see if he knows anything about what's crowing on
[07:44] PS: Well, he's been pretty clueless so far.
[07:44] PS: I guess I could give him a chance, but I'm not holding out much hope.
[07:45] AA: okay
[07:45] AA: is that a yes
[07:45] PS: I suppose.
[07:45] AA: good
[07:45] PS: I'll go look for him now, I guess.
[07:45] PS: Bye.
[07:45] AA: yeah
[07:45] AA: bye
