One taco is enough. Wander around town and try and think of something you might need because you suddenly have money.

After eating the tacos, your incredibly efficient metabolism notified you that there is sufficient fuel for you to operate until lunch.
You decided to buy more tacos for your roommate since he's like a vampire or something and won't stand in sunlight.
Maybe you should shop around for some more clo-
OH SHIT EMERGENCY

Buy tacos, eat tacos. Make out with roommate. Sit on toilet for an hour because of tacos.

You run for the public toilets remembering that you haven't dropped the stool since three days ago. You waste a full hour on this business.

>Give up your stance as a feminist, and instead completely forsake any and all perceptions of gender or sex.

>Return home and regale your roommate with tales of your heroic exploits. Shower in celebratory tacos.

While sitting on the loo you have an idea that maybe you will refer to everything as an asexual being to protest against sexism. It seemed like a good idea. You walk back home, you would have been late if not for the fact that you two are self-employed.

The front door scan your hand and opens. It's a pretty wasteful use of money now that you think about it, but you can't complain because you're the one who bought it. You follow the smell of paint through the living room, kitchen, and to the hallway you initially came out of. You say "Open the door" and pushed on the wall at the dead-end, it slide back revealing a secret entrance, another of your wasteful spending.

It is pretty pointless since this is obviously not a secret room. Your roommate is surfing the internet with its laptop, there is 2 recently painted murals on the wall to your front and left.

You would tell him of how you just saved an old human from your senior sibling, the dialogue look a bit retarded because we all don't know your names.

It: Sup. So we are having tacos for the day?
You: Yeah. Guess what happened while I waited for them to open?
It: You saved an old woman from a mugger?
You: How did you know?!
It: I just guessed, so it was true?
You: Yeah, but the extra bit you didn't know is that it was (my senior sibling).

The rest of the dialogue degenerated into you two agreeing how your brother is such an idiot and asshole.

The thief is Gary Oak.

GARY M. OAK, OF COURSE

Your roommate is Dan.

We are, umm, I'll let someone else take a hand at it. I don't know anything good.

Now I'm tempted to name the protagonist Ashley, for Ash.

[Kay I guess names are settled then because you guys are quiet
Also Dan might be renamed for his last name later but whatever,and more also Ashley is wearing pants, it's just because she hates them somehow so she didn't remember putting them on]

You are now suddenly Dan. Your last name isn't revealed yet because you're just too cool.
You and Ashley work for an online magazine called the GRAPHICS magazine, which is like Readers' Digest except that they also have comics and things like that.

You are the editor, while Ashley is a writer about indie games on her own article space.
The reason you are surfing the Internet right now because the director guy who is also your friend ask you to search if there is any deity called "Syrakhilinitnth".
While that favor makes no sense you still know for a fact that he is not a schizo.

You attempt to contemplate any meaning if Ashley was hitting on you or something by buying you tacos. But you realized that karma meter is acting funny and now apparently you're evil. You don't think making it plummet any further would be a good idea.

You look up sites about ancient civilizations and things like that but so far after checking through the Egyptians, Greek, Aryan, Mayan, and Nazi you still have no idea what the hell the seemingly gibberish name means. Giving up you set. Yesterday you had set up a topic asking about the thing called Syrakhilinitnth, but nobody knew or even heard about it.

You open up Pmail to tell your friend he just sent you a complete gibberish, when you noticed that you have a mail from a person you don't even know.

It is titled "Not a God".
You wonder if this is some random atheist propaganda, or if it is what you think it is.

Your meta-soul spiritually grab the karma meter. Instead of bashing it and waste a good bacon it consume the meter instead. You are now spiritually content for the time. The karma meter faithfully respawn, this time probably working now.

You realized you just spaced out, and you feel strangely content.

Open email after preparing antivirus just in case.

You scan the email. It has no virus.
Clicking on it, you find a really cryptic letter. You make note of the sender, who also uses Pmail, and that the username seems like what an average person would have for businesses.

"It is no god. Not a name. Merely a jumble of names. Syrakhilinitnth."

Yet his address seems like he's pretty sane. Maybe he/she isn't a native speaker of English.

Syrakhilinitnth.
n,t,h are pretty common Lovecraftian letters in names...

Find a free decoding program on the internet and run the name through them.
Look for hidden codes, such as skipping letters or changing them with a pattern (S would become T, etc.)

Note "Nihili", and do a search on "Nihili". I think that's part of a name.

You wonder why your friend "Crest" didn't do this by himself, it's not like you're THAT resourceful even though you are quite knowledgeable with computer security, and with this kind of work it's not even relevant unless he's expecting you to hack into the CIA, which is something you are incapable of, and also don't care to do.

However, the cryptic email sent to you make you think that maybe it's a coded phrase, so you set to work on finding ways to decrypt it.

Also, you already read most of H.P. Lovecraft's and you're pretty sure this word, or name, doesn't exist.

You note of how "Hilini" is very close to Nihili(sm), so you searched the word. You find a lot of results, most about some indian people, so you gave up that search pretty quickly.

While you are decrypting the word we suddenly switch into Ashley, who, unbeknownst to Dan, is in a deep state of daydream.
