>Madison: No.
Hell no.
Hell fucking no.
Aggress that thing with fancy footwork and a ball to the face!
... You dribble wildly, humming the Globetrotters Theme as you do it to keep the beat. You hurl the ball into the Darkness, only for it to come flying back at you, putting you a bit off balance! The creature retaliates by lunging at you!
... The impact of the beast tosses you back onto a table housing your brother's leftovers. At least it wasn't one of his weird chemistry experiments. [-17 HP]
Pulling yourself up, you watch as the creature's tail enters the darkness, and the red eyes reappear in the midst of it. That was NOT a raccoon.
Suddenly, the table behind lifts into the air and flies into the darkness! You hear a loud screech, and the eyes disappear. You give Kate a hearty Thumbs-Up and go back to your Brother's Computer. Ah, there's the Router. You restart it, and head upstairs.
>Rodion: Any minute now they'll be getting to it. Any minute now.
... You wat a few minutes for the messages to keep coming, but nothing happens. You DO, however, hear some ominous creaking coming towards your room...
Robby:>Yes
He'll yes
He'll fucking yes
Raid mini fridge, check for secret stashes, try to remember what I was doing again.
... Opening up the Mini-Fridge, you are disappointed to find only Root Beer. Eh, it'll have to do for now. Backing up from the fridge, you bump up against the TV, triggering the entire east wall to flip, revealing an entire wall of weapons. If only you had a decent Strife chip...
However, a small filing-cabinet-like compartment near the bottom left catches your attention. You wonder what could be in there, when you notice that it requires a key. Either that, or the sacrifice of your ring finger. You can't really tell at this distance.
Oh yeah, you were going to get those arms of your's. Besides, Sburb should be installed by now. Good thing it can install without having the discs in the computer at all times!
>Kate:Again? Upload backup of gumdrops before checking Madison-cam again.
... Good thing you keep every episode in hard copy on your computer! You upload all of the comics, hoping that the joker who took them down gets the message.
Huh. She must have moved into the basement. You wonder what could be happ-HOLY SHIT. You see her getting attacked by a large, black, Cat-Like creature! You quickly pick up a table and toss it, and you hear a screech from the darkness. You hope that it's been driven back. Maddie looks around, and tries to give you the thumbs up, but giving it in the wrong direction. Oh well. She'll get the hang of it eventually.
>James: C'mon, just knock the lizard out already.
... You think back to how they did it in Smash Bros. Lessee....Wind Up...Wait for the Glowing Light, aaaaand....
RELEASE!
The force of the collision sends your beloved lizard flying through the wall, out onto the lawn.
Unless it's a really good actor, that Lizard's dead. You mourn the loss, and go back to...
What WERE you doing before this, actually?
Oh yeah, Sburb. You pick up your computer from the Lizard Tank, and pop the discs in. The recipe in you Sylladex Book fades away from the page, but when you flip to the back, it seems to be in the index. Although, you can hardly call it an index when there's only one thing. Either way, Sburb installs fairly quickly,
Castor: >Start up Sburb and find out who your server player is.
... Everything seems to be installing quickly. It turns out that your Server Player is James, and he seems to have managed to install Sburb alright. You Client player is...Kate. Huh. You've never met her. Maybe she'll surprise you. You prepare for connection and fiddle with your Strife Specibus. You wonder if you'll ever need to use it. While fiddling, you find that there's something in it. The Woodwindkind section is blinking, and you open it up. Suddenly, a clarinet pops out onto your lap. Huh. Guess it could be useful.
