That was a month ago, dude.

[ShoesandHats]

No, it's today.

I'll post later today.

[SirAaronIII]

Fun with different countries and different holidays!

>Check the mail.

((I'll now acknowledge that as one of Watson's commands. Whats the theme of the thingy? You know, this thingy? Bleh.))

> Walk the dogs for an hour, then rush back and INSTALL!!!

You walk the dogs around the neighborhood for an hour or so. You then rush back and start installing the game. Awesome!

>Wonder why your BESTIE JESSICA isn't on.

You ponder this for some time. You don't know. Perhaps she's helping the moving efforts?

>Check on download progress

Looks like it's about 75% done. You can just about play it.

No, I just want the theme of your introduction-thingy which goes a little like these:

The piny smell of the woods fills your nostrils like some sandwich stonk coming from the vents of a Subways. You have lived in a small town near the Rogue River National Forest in Oregon your whole life. In fact, you've never left the general area of the town. The forest is teaming with life, almost all of which you are familiar with. You know what berries and mushrooms you can eat, and which ones will kill you. Despite being like all other days of your life, you think this is going to be a long day. Life is confusing like that. One day everything is normal, the other your house gets burned down by a gigantic laser-crab. Not that that's going to happen.

"Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow." --Spinal Tap

Yes, you are certain Spinal Tap said that. One hundred percent positive.

The streets are filled with the snow of a harsh Wisconsin winter. You and your parents haven't been able to drive because the snowplows take their sweet time in getting out into the country.

A cold wind breezes past you, turning your breath visible. You've had to survive on what little you could carry in your arms from the small town nearby and your house on the fields of cold. Hell isn't hot. It's cold as ice. Colder, in fact. Despite being raised in these conditions, this particular blizzard is more terrible than anything you've seen. You're virtually alone except for your parents. They don't usually talk to you anyways.

It is your thirteenth birthday, and as with all twelve preceding it, you feel bored. You have your video games, sure, but they don't sate the boredom you feel. You hope that this new one will add some much needed excitement to your life.

It will.

"And so we remained till the red of the dawn began to fall through the snow gloom. I was desolate and afraid, and full of woe and terror. But when that beautiful sun began to climb the horizon life was to me again." - Teddy Roosevelt

Yes, you are certain Teddy Roosevelt said that. One hundred percent positive.

>Cancel monologue. Continue checking mailbox.

The introduction was good, but I still didn't check the box. >_>

[SirAaronIII]

I think what he wants is for you to tell him how you want your intro to go before he lets you actually do it.

>Alice: Ominously play your Piano as your friends begin their Sburb Game.

Edit: Edited Character Intro to have one bit of vital info.

[The Fool]

((Alright. I didn't know what Shoes meant by theme. I'll pick one later today.))

[ShoesandHats]

((So, Fool? Are you going to message me with the theme thing? Despite how that sentence sounded, it wasn't meant to be aggressive))

>Alice: Ominously play your Piano as your friends begin their Sburb Game.

You play a haunting piano refrain. You feel that it would be more appropriate to play this, though.

[The Fool]

>Reminisce on the travels of a flying blue police box.

((I love sci-fi... why didn't I think of this as a character theme before? I'll toss sci-fi into the interests. So many sci-fi references to make, so little time...))

EDIT: Sci-fi was already there, and I didn't think to build the character around it. I feel silly. Now I'll just make sci-fi references whenever I think of one.

EDIT2: Wait... I'm suppose to write the theme? PM me if this is the case. I'll write it when I'm more awake.

[Johnfalcon99977]

You feel that it would be more appropriate to play this, though.

How the hell could she play that? Doesn't sound like something she would, or could, play. Besides, she doesn't have Sburb as of yet. I think the track I picked sounded more haunting.

Edit: Also I imagine her playing that over your entrance to the Medium.

[The Fool]

That song was the SBURB installation theme. I think he meant that it would be appropriate because you were installing it.

[Johnfalcon99977]

But that feels so generic and Unorginal. I felt it should've been something better.
