(The Froggy Ninja) -===> Ride JEFF off to ADVENTURE!
You climb up between JEFF'S HORNS, and he does that GLOWY GREEN THING.
ADVENTURE takes you LOTS OF PLACES, and you spy Elephant Parade in his BEAN BAGS, NAV disposing of a TON of PACKING POPCORN, and Dermonster DIGGING in a CHEST OF STUFF that does not look like HERS, before JEFF brings you HOME and deposites you in your ROOM.

(Elephant Parade) -===> Skim REQUESTS from the 128-REQUEST USER.
Well, the REQUESTS mostly seem LEGIT, except for the fact that the USER is named SPAM_HUNTER0099, and keeps posting WALLS OF TEXT with LINKS to FREE MOVIES buried in them.
Probably just a REALLY SMART BOT.
You feel a slight GUST of WIND as if someone was here for just a MOMENT.

(Arcvasti) -===> Allocate GLAIVE in such a manner that it can be used for STRIFING, then go out into the LAIR OF THE LAWN GNOMES to rescue the CAT-EARED ONE.
The GLAIVE fits under the POLEARMKIND ABSTRATUS, which gets automatically filed into your STRIFE DECK.
You leave the KITCHEN as your FATHER enters, and you leave the HOUSE as the smell of BARBEQUE wafts past.
You SPY the CAT-EARED ONE in the middle of the LAWN, and TIP-TOE over to it. You GRAB it and dash back into the HOUSE, unacosted. There was a GARDEN SNAKE underneath, but they're HARMLESS.

(Dermonster) -===> Now, there must be a WRAPPED GIFT around here SOMEWHERE. No PROPER BIRTHDAY is, well, PROPER without one! Maybe it'll even HELP with your SINISTER PLAN, though I DOUBT that slightly. COMB through the HOUSE, all SNEAKY like. No telling when SHE will RETURN.
You RUMAGE through the DRAWERS in the KITCHEN first, but soon SCAMPER through the HALLS looking around for your PRESENT. You look in the WASHROOM. You dig through CHESTS of LADY STUFF, and DIVE into the ULTIMATE LAIR OF HOLISTIC EVIL.
Yeah, it's not in HER ROOM, either. Your LEGAL GUARDIAN must be a GENIUS at HIDING THINGS.
You return to your ROOM, a little DISSAPOINTED, when you spot IT. Lying on your BED, is a WRAPPED GIFT. Oh, look, SHE calls HERSELF "MOM" on the tag, you KNOW that's not TRUE.

(Jack A T) -===> Estimate the TIME the MAIL MAN will take to get to my HOUSE, and check who is AVAILABLE to CHAT with.
The MAIL MAN will be a few MINUTES. Your FRIENDS all seem to have set their STATUS to being UNAVAILIBE, but you chould PESTER them ANYWAYS, and they'd ANSWER you when they got BACK.
((Yeah, Actually, I was thinking you were right on the boarder between AB and BC, but that's the direction that window faced))

(Tiruin) -===> COMPARE AND CONTRAST what the MANUAL says and check how it AFFECTS my USERNAME.
The MANUAL takes five PARAGRAPHS fully explaining how a USERNAME is generated! However, they seem to just be GUIDELINES. One could pick any CHUMHANDLE and it would work, apparently, though the STANDARD FORMAT appears to work BEST.
It seems if one DEVIATES from the STANDARD FORMAT for a CHUMHADLE, it can have UNFORSEEN EFFECTS on one's TAGS before each sentence, though these EFFECTS are all pretty MUNDANE.

-===> Check the INTERNET for why CHILDREN have an AFFINITY for PESTERCHUM!
The only SITE that seems to DESCRIBE this phenomenon is the VERY GUIDE you were consulting. And it RAMBLES for FOURTY TWO PARAGRAPHS as to the nature of CHILDREN and their AFFINITY to PESTERCHUM. It also mentions a SECOND CHAT CLIENT called TROLLIAN. Which it describes as FAR MORE COMPLEXING.

This SLIGHT against CORRECT TERMINOLOGY can wait, PRESENTS ARE ABOUND!. Hopefully it's something KICKASS.

Afterwards check on that GAME PROGRESS.

(NAV) -===> Check the FOOTAGE of my HIDDEN CAMERAS
You FEEL the NEED to MONITOR your situation. You go back to your COMPUTER, and plug in your CAMERA NETWORK. Unfortunately, without a COMPUTER recording the whole time, only the OLDER TAPE CAMERAS in the NETWORK have images of the PAST TWO WEEKS.
There are JUST ENOUGH older CAMERAS to monitor each room, but there are a LARGE NUMBER of BLIND SPOTS.
Huh. There was a short FLASH of GREEN in your LIVING ROOM, kind of like some STATIC INTERFERENCE. Nothing DEFINITIVE.

(Dermonster) -===> This SLIGHT FRONT against CORRECT TERMINOLOGY can wait, PRESENTS are abound! Hope it's something KICKASS.
It's a... a... drat. It's a MODEL KIT for your WAR GAMES, but you are already at your LIMIT for that particular UNIT in your ARMY.
You guess you could BUILD a SECOND ARMY, or CUSTOMIZE the MODEL to turn it into a DIFFERENT UNIT, but you've ALREADY DONE THAT for this particular UNIT several times. You have THREE ARMIES composed completely of VARIATIONS on this single UNIT.

-===> Afterwards, check the GAME PROGRESS
It's FULLY DOWNLOADED and INSTALLED already. It's just waiting for a PROMPT for another KEY. Neither of yours WORK.

(The Froggy Ninja) -===> Download TROLLIAN
You would do that IMMEDIATELY, but YOU haven't HEARD of that PROGRAM yet.

(Jack A T) -===> Exit my ROOM.
You leave your ROOM, and enter the MAIN HALLWAY. Here you see such facinating MARVELS as the SUPERHERO POSTER your MOTHER addors, and the WALL THAT IS AN AQUARIUM. With nothing but FISH SMALLER THAN YOUR PINKEY.
Down the HALL, you find the DEN, where your MOTHER is WRAPPING PRESENTS. You see a PILE of BOXES, and a STACK OF ROLLS OF PAPER, as well as a TARP under which the PRESENTS are LOCATED. You see some SUPER HERO FIGURINES on the SHELVES in this room.
You move past the DEN, and find the FOYER, where the GONDOLA will arive. You SIT DOWN in one of the COMFORTABLE WAITING CHAIRS, and grab a POLITICAL MAGAZINE.

SIT BACK and READ the MAGAZINE.  Wonder if my MOTHER has ever been to the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA in her search for good SUPERHERO-RELATED ITEMS.

As expected. This is clearly a Co-op only game. Clearly I must contact somebody else to gain entrance.

Examine friends list for EXPLOITABLE PAWNS.

Appreciate present!

It was a nice thing that Jess received. She took a few minutes of her time to appreciate it.

Begin Download of game!

I wonder how to model my pesterchum name now...

Experiment with a few Pesterchum names to check how they look in text!

CAPTCHALOGUE Cat-GNOME.

You can't be seen holding him. You doubt your FATHER would approve of you fiddling with his lawn ornaments. Best stash him somewhere safe.

Wander over to LIVING ROOM innocently.

You don't want to take any chances for your FATHER realizing you're messing with his LAWN ORNAMANTS.

Check COMPUWATCH for delivery progress and see if any CHUMS are suitably PESTERABLE

(Jack A T) -===> SIT BACK and READ the MAGAZINE.  Wonder if my MOTHER has ever been to the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA in her search for good SUPERHERO-RELATED ITEMS.
It's an OLD ISSUE from BEFORE YOU WERE BORN. Still, you haven't READ this one before. Hmm. Seems this RICK MERCER person used to get up to POLITICAL ANTICS, and you'd like to know more about this SENATOR DUFFY.
You LOOK UP at the POSTER of GENERAL BRAZIL while wondering where your MOTHER got her HERO-THEMED OBJECTS. Since she is a WORLD-TRAVELER, you can't BEGIN.
The GONDOLA reaches the FOYER right on TIME, and the MAIL MAN steps out with his BAG OF LETTERS. He has FOUR letters in his HAND. ONE of them is for YOU.

(Elephant Parade) -===> Issue SPAMBOT a WARNING.
You are about to do that when the SPAMBOT issues another REQUEST, reporting ITSELF.
PERFECT timing. You issue the WARNING based on THAT REQUEST.

(Dermonster) -===> Examine FRIENDS LIST for EXPLOITABLE PAWNS.
PESTERCHUM opens when you ask it to. But it starts GLITCHING immediately, as usual. You sigh and start to CLOSE it when it CLEARS UP. MYSTERIOUSLY.
As if this is the FATED TIME at which it starts to WORK on your COMPUTER.
Well, there's a few CHUMHANDLES on your CHUMROLL that are LIT UP. You feel like PESTERING deputyMinister, but he's AFK.
You also feel like PESTERING Jess (Tiruin), but she still seems like she's having TROUBLE with PESTERCHUM.
Also online are notActuallyVisible, amphibiousAssassin, and frozenPolearm.

(The Froggy Ninja) -===> Look up COMPETITORS in PROJECT CONVERSE.
You grab the FOLDER for PROJECT CONVERSE off the BACK-BURNER. You FLIP THROUGH it until you get to the COMPETITORS LIST that you had COMPILED for you SEVERAL MONTHS before.
You regret not READING it before. There are a LOT of COMPETITORS. Including PRE-EXISTING PRODUCTS, such as PESTERCHUM, SERIOUS BUISNESS, DELERIOUS BIZNASTY; The whole CHAT CLIENT MARKET is pretty saturated already.
However, among the COMPETITORS LIST, you spot a few you've never HEARD of before. TROLLIAN and BETTYBOTHER among them, though when you look them up they seem to be UNAVAILIBLE on your OPERATING SYSTEM.
You do, however, APPRECIATE the advertised FEATURES from some of these COMPETITORS. Perhaps you could AVERT COPYRIGHT LAW and DUPLICATE those features for the CONVERSIFYER.

(Tiruin) -===> Appreciate PRESENT!
One of the BEST and WORST PRESENTS ever. BEST because it's AWESOME and PERFECT.
WORST because it got PACKAGED in PLASTIC, and you *achoo* SNEEZE again while APPRECIATING it.

-===> Begin DOWNLOAD of GAME!
You enter your CLIENT KEY into the SWURB WEBSITE. INSTALLATION of the CLIENT PROGRAM begins immediately. You also try to enter your SERVER KEY, but the WEBSITE tells you to WAIT.

-===> EXPERIMENT with a few CHUMHANDLES to check how they LOOK in TEXT!
You try out a few NAMES. innocentProtector, soulGirl, caringHonor, doctorFlute STUFF like that. Something doesn't feel quite right, though.
Maybe if you weren't using a RANDOM GENERATOR and came up with the NAME yourself it would seem more PERSONAL.

(Arcvasti) -===> CAPTCHALOGUE CAT-GNOME.
CHECK. The CAT-EARED GNOME goes into your CAPTCHALOGUE DECK without PROBLEM.
You realize you'll have to deal with GETTING IT OUT later, but that's not an ISSUE at the MOMENT.
Well, maybe it is. Using the CIPHER FETCH MODUS can be a hassle. Each ITEM that you CAPTCHALOGUE gets ENCRYPTED using a RANDOM PREVIOUS ITEM as a KEY, then SHUFFLED into the DECK. You have to DECRYPT a CARD to retrieve it's ITEM, and BRUTE FORCE DECRYPTION results in VIOLENT EJECTION of the item.
Which is why you keep your COMPUWATCH with you at ALL TIMES.

-===> WANDER over to LIVING ROOM innocently.
You WANDER into the LIVING ROOM without seeing your FATHER. You smell BEEF being COOKED in the KITCHEN from here.
The GNOMES in the LIVING ROOM don't notice that you have a COMRADE from the LAWN with you. GOOD.

-===> Check COMPUWATCH for DELIVERY PROGRESS and see if any CHUMS are suitably PESTERABLE
It's on it's WAY again. A few more MINUTES, or HOURS, depending on WHAT HAPPENS to it.
There's a FEW PESTERABLE CHUMS. notActuallyVisible is on, derMonster surprisingly, and amphibiousAssassin too.

(NAV) -===> Download PESTERCHUM onto my NEW COMPUTER.
PESTERCHUM takes a BRIEF MOMENT to INSTALL. You then put in your CHUMHANDLE, and your CHUMROLL automatically FILLS with your friends.
Looks like a FEW of them are ON. derMonster, for once, frozenPolearm, and amphibiousAssassin. Looks like Jess (Tiruin) is on too, but keeps CHANGING her CHUMHANDLE.
