(Dermonster) -===> Captchalogue ROBOT PUPPET CONTROLLERS! Have at thee, SCOURGE of TERRA!
You have no ROBOT PUPPETS to CONTROL! You instead grab your TRUSTY MARIONETTES, allocating the PUPPETKIND ABSTRATUS to your STRIFE PORTFOLIO.
You AGGRESS your LEGAL GUARDIAN, the MARIONETTES striking her in the SHINS repeatedly. She RESPONDS by ABJURING, firing CONFETTI CANNONS and repelling your MARIONETTES.
This prompts you with a PROMPT BOX. You can continue to AGGRESS, or you can AGGRIEVE, ABSTAIN, or ABUSE. Further OPTIONS appear to be GREYED OUT at the moment. You're SURE there are OTHER ACTIONS you can take, too.

(Jack A T) -===> Turn on COMPUTER and open PESTERCHUM. Also open BROWSER and read NEWS.
Your COMPUTER boots up, and you open PESTERCHUM. It seems that amphibiousAssassin and elephantParade are online already, so you could PESTER either of them. But first you open up your WEB BROWSER, Dain, and check the NEWS.
The EARLY WARNING SYSTEM that the SPACE EXPLORATION CORPORATION (SEC) built has FAILED. Apparently ASTEROIDS are passing RIGHT PAST the EARLY WARNING SYSTEM without detection.
Meanwhile, the SWURB BETA is being released TODAY, and KEYS are being sent out. One REVIEW SITE already has a REVIEW up, but it appears like they didn't even INSTALL the GAME.
THE PRESIDENT of the US has been caught in FRAUD again. PRESIDENT MCDONALD has been SIPHONING money into his FAST FOOD BUSINESS again, and got CAUGHT by the SAME PEOPLE who CAUGHT him LAST TIME. His EMPLOYEES.
And last, an new FERTILIZER is being tested. It allows for PLASTIC to grow like a REAL PLANT. You don't see that ever being USEFUL.

(Elephant Parade) -===> Go back to LURKING on the FORUM.
You leave the PESTERCHUM box open, but IGNORE it while you go back to your FORUM. It seems the REQUESTS to BAN USERS never stop.
You check out some THREADS about FAN WORKS, view some AUTHOR APPRECIATION THREADS, and LURK around the ROMANTIC NOVEL and SCIFI WESTERN SUBFORUMS for a few minutes.
Your COMPUTER pops up an ALERT about a VIRUS again.

Check the news as well as websites of opposing companies. Then equip my trusty GADGTKIND ABSTRATUS and round up my Pet.

Check for Canadian news.  Also, write QUALITY POLITICAL COMMENTARY about the President's fraud on a user-generated commentary website.  Check email.

Amused at her sister's quickness with her work, Jess inspected the game and the keys--what it was called and who sent it, and how.

She also takes time to admire the decorations. Check contacts in Tablet and who is available at the moment. Possibility of texting?

Ugh, fine. Getting enough money for a new computer would require a lot of work. Examine virus message.

((Made a mistake made a mistake made a mistake fix that mistake fix that mistake fix that mistake MINOR RETCON: Echidna is not TFN's browser, it's NAV's; TFN has Norn))

(The Froggy Ninja) -===> Check the NEWS as well as WEBSITES of OPPOSING COMPANIES. Then ALLOCATE my trusty GADGETKIND ABSTRATUS and ROUND UP my PET.
You go back to Norn and check the NEWS.
Someone in your COMPANY is leaking DETAILS about PROJECT ANTICOMPETITOR! DETAILS that even you didn't know are SHOWN IN THEIR GLORY. PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE continues to remain LEAK FREE.
Your COMPETITORS are rolling out new PRODUCTS. One is advertising a FREE TO PLAY MMOFPS with RTS ELEMENTS. Another is advertising it's new RTS with FOUR DIMENSIONS. And a third is showing off a OPEN WORLD SOCIALITE GAME with RPG ELEMENTS, that can INTEGRATE directly with PESTERCHUM.
Sick of reading the NEWS for now, you grab a TASER ROD off your DESK and run OUT to ROUND UP your PET.
You find a TRAIL of TRACKS easy enough and start FOLLOWING them.

(Jack A T) -===> Check for CANADIAN NEWS. Also, write QUALITY POLITICAL COMMENTARY about the PRESIDENT'S FRAUD on a USER-GENERATED COMMENTARY WEBSITE. Check EMAIL.
You find that the CANADIAN NEWS is LESS EXCITING than the US NEWS for once:
A single SENATOR was ACCUSED of VOTE FIXING.
WILD FIRES in the WEST.
JACKALOPES discovered to be REAL.
The usual sort of stuff.
You close the NEWS and write QUALITY POLITICAL COMMENTARY on the day's EVENTS, SCOLDING PRESIDENT MCDONALD's choices and PREDICTING the COUNTRY'S FUTURE from it's CHOICE OF PRESIDENT. Once the COMMENTARY is up, you immediately start receiving PRAISE for a WELL DONE COMMENTARY.
Your EMAIL is as EMPTY as EVER. A few BIRTHDAY WISHES, but not much more. Oh, wait, forgot the SPAM FOLDER. GROW, GROW, GROW, ENLARGE, PLEASE, ENLARGE... it's all JUNK, same as always.
Hmm, seems a CHUM is PESTERING you.

((If you would prefer a different CHUMHANDLE I will edit this right away!))

(Tiruin) -===> Inspect the GAME and the KEYS: What was it CALLED and WHO SENT IT, and HOW? Also take the TIME to ADMIRE THE DECORATIONS. Check contacts in TABLET and who is AVAILABLE at the MOMENT. POSSIBILITY of TEXTING?
The GAME is called SWURB by the LETTER. The KEYS are 32 DIGIT ALPHANUMERIC STRINGS that ENABLE the DOWNLOAD of SWURB. It appears to have been SENT by... the RETURN ADDRESS is a SPIROGRAPH, great. You take some time ADMIRING your ROOM, which is decorated in CALMING BAMBOO FURNITURE. It clashes a bit with the BRIGHT BIRTHDAY COLORS your SIS has COLORED your WALLS, but it presents a bit of BALANCE between CALM and CHAOS.
You check PESTERCHUM on your TABLET. AA and EP are on, as well as DM. The other THREE of your FRIENDS are not on yet, though you could PESTER them anyways and they'd see the MESSAGE later. It's basically HALFWAY between TEXTING and IRC, except it's FREE and has more FEATURES. You could TEXT your FRIENDS instead, but it costs so many BOONDOLLARS to TEXT, you don't see why anyone would.

(Dermonster) -===> AGGROPEASE!
You make up a NEW COMBAT FORM, and REFLECT your LEGAL GUARDIAN's STREAMERS and CONFETTI back at her while DANCING on her BACK. Your LEGAL GUARDIAN gives up part way through, and LEAVES your ROOM, but not before scattering GREEN and YELLOW STREAMERS onto your PLUSH CHAIR OF SCHEMES.

((I assumed that was meant to be something like Appease and Aggress, so I had you using her weapons against her))

(Elephant Parade) -===> Examine VIRUS MESSAGE.
You look closer at the NOTIFICATION. It seems to be the BIRTHDAY WISHES virus, one that gets into your PESTERCHUM ACCOUNT and starts hailing your CHUMBUDDIES with ANNOYING MESSAGES. Ack! Your PESTERCHUM is still OPEN!

Dastardly Faux-Parent, getting my books all filthy...

Better captchalog the STACK OF HORROR NOVELS for safe keeping.

Hopefully the game will finish installing soon. On the other hand, surely MYr dastardly FAUX-PARENT has aquired some form of BONDING GIFT for my birthday. Also CAKE. GODS I love CAKE.

Head out the door, to the ground floor, everybody do the dinosaur. (I need to stop going to 4chan...)

Jess kneaded her lower lip as she pondered on texting her friends and making a slight excuse or actually texting her friends and telling them that she had little knowledge about Pesterchum and how to use it.

...She couldn't even understand the greeting message. It was a mix of numbers and letters and...there was no help manual!


...
Find help manual! I need to know how these fancy devices work!
Also what did my sister get?
