==> load server copy
|You get up your server copy of the game and wait whilst it loads. Again, that godawful spirograph rotates on the screen in front of you, tauntingly. You can feel the highblood rage boiling up inside you, and consider setting your husktop on fire to get rid of that taunting pattern. Luckily, your husktop seems to do that itself. It makes a strange whirring noise and then spontaneously combusts. Pulled out of your paralytic rage by a new strong feeling of panic, you race around the room, looking for something to put out the flames. Shouting words too rude for a kids website, you pick up the husktop with your bare hands and hurl it out the window, watching it drop about 100 feet to the snow below.
You wonder what in gods name that was all about. Maybe it was the struggle of trying to connect with someone on another planet thatmade it crash. That was probably it. Luckily, you happened to have quite a few computers in your hive- one of the many perks of being quasi-royalty was the amount of money you had to waste on unnecessary amounts of things. You head down the stairs to your store room and switch on another husktop- not as good as your old one, but it'll have to do for the moment. You install the server copy and run it again. You hope there'll be no issues this time round.

MD: gimme a few seconds UUhile i get something on these hands ..

You run to the bathroom hastily, and run your hands under cold water. Your palms are developing unsightly purple blisters and you wonder whether you'll be able to use your trusty netkind specibus with your hands all torn up like this. You have a bit of burn cream in your medicine chest that you rub on, hoping it'll do. You then shuffle back to your laptop and shake your head despairingly. Why in god's name did you think to pick up a burning laptop without protection? STUPID STUPID STUPID
You were going to SUCK at this game. |

You move around your half of the respiteblock, collecting up your most valuable possessions, among them your violin, spare husktop - it always pays to be prepared, especially as your server player seems a little clumsy when it comes to technology - and a few of your sister's 'magyk' charms. They get everywhere, these pesky things. But they will almost definitely come in useful. Yes, you can quite definitely see yourself using these. They're powerful Dersite artifacts, and your sister evidently collects them for a reason.

(seer of void powers becoming evident now)

[starry palms]

Everything had loaded. Everything cleared up and everything connected. You sit outside on your tall hill, overlooking the sea as you reply to your client and get a hold of your server.

MP: Okay, I've got a connection.
MP: It glitched out for a bit though, is your client game copy okay?
MP: Whatever, let's get this thing started, shall we?

You crack your knuckles (trying not to crack your burnt skin, of course) and find your server player's chat window. Pulling it up, you sigh and hope things will run smoothly.

MP: It's says I've got a connection at this end.
MP: Are you clear too so we can get started?

[slothly]

((ayy, nahvra's void too! there'll be two void players now, double the darkness aww yeah))

MD: UUoUU, rude or UUhat
MD: my hands may NEUER heal properly
MD: and noUU my collapsing and expanding bladder based aquatic uascular system may not either UnU;
MD: thats a crying face, btw
MD: heh, i'ue got it running
MD: doesn't seem to be any UUeird noises or fire this time
MD: aluuays a good sign...
MD: ah look, i can see your hiue!
MD: UUoah, i can see you too
MD: you UUeren't lying UUhen you said you UUere an alien damn
MD: little green skull fella

You stare at the screen for a moment, amazed. Unless this was all an elaborate trick, you really were looking at a real life alien on your computer screen. It was unnerving, but kind of exciting. He didn't look like how you'd imagined- you'd kind of just thought of a troll but maybe a different colour. This guy didn't even have any horns, and he had blue swirly marks on his cheeks? You wondered whether that was make up or actually his face.
You couldn't waste all your time just looking at him though- you had work to do. You click a few things on the screen which seem to pick them up. From the notes luuani gave you, you know you have to place the cruxtuder, alchemiter and totem lathe somewhere in the hive. It looks like this is the only room he has in his hive so it will be a challenge trying to find space for it all. You wonder what you should move. Everything looks so odd and alien, you don't know what's necessary to keep.

MD: right okay i got all the stuff here
MD: i gotta put it all in your respiteblock someUUhere
MD: UUhat am i alloUUed to moue?
MD: UUhat about the sUUirly table thing? can i throUU that out the UUindoUU or no?

whilst you were busy with your client, it looked like your server had been messaging you too. This was good, hopefully you could get into the game as soon as possible now.

MD: oh cool, noUU UUe can start playing properly!!
MD: that UUas probably UUhen my husktop set on fire, aha...
MD: its fine, i haue a feUU spares
MD: my hands are pretty burnt up though..
MD: noUU UUe can be burn buddies or something equally as lame ;U
MD: so UUhat, you gunna put all the things in my hiue noUU then

You figure you'll probably get best signal from your respiteblock, it being the highest point of your hive. You captchalogue a few husktops (just in case) and race up the stairs.

[AColorfulWalrus]

Leah nodded to herself, as she read Nahvra's replies. Smiling- she typed in a reply, quick and simple. She also took a moment to check her pesterlog with cleverWolf, but, alas- there was no reply. Hm..

CD: My client and server copies will finish installing in a few minutes. c=
CD: Can't wait to get connected, and start this game! I'm really excited to see how it goes. >u<

ee: nah.
ee: i collctd vrything important.
ee: OH HOLY MOTHER OF GLU-

You jump about a foot in the air as incredibly loud music blasts out of your sister's music system. You curse her under your breath, knowing full well that she is playing around with them to show you up in front of Nahvra. That's how she rolls. DAMMIT.

MD: heh, actually im kind of excited too
MD: dont tell anyone though, i got an apathetic reputation to uphold ;U
MD: im actually about to start, as long as magic girl doesnt mess up too much
MD: im pretty interested to see UUhat sort of land i end up in
MD: plus the fighting monsters thing UUill be UUicked too
MD: plus i guess it UUill giue me much needed strifing skills
MD: there's only so much a lusus can teach you before you gotta try yourself you knoUU?

You go back onto the game. Looked like one of lar's speakers was blasting music out. It wasn't bad actually. You attempt to make space for the first object, the alchemiter. You move a couple of tables around but you still cant find any spare room to put it in. Maybe if you just-
Yep, throwing a few tables out the window seemed to do the trick. You place the weird looking mahcine down in the centre of the room. It said something about losing grist. You didn't know what that meant, but it probably wasn't vital information at the moment. You could look it up later.

MD: i'ue put the alchemiter doUUn
MD: i dont think you can do anything UUith it yet, im gunna put the rest doUUn noUU
MD: d'you think there's a UUay to make the respiteblock bigger at all?
MD: i dont knoUU i might haue read that someUUhere
MD: you're kind of more informed than me about this though

[starry palms]

And so you see Nahvra for the first time! Wow, she's sweeps older than you by the looks of it. Makes you feel like a kid or somethin'.

MP: I've started a trend < :u
MP: Burn hands trend started by yours truly.
MP: And gee, you're like sweeps older than me, I didn't even know < :x

You begin deploying a bunch of important stuff for your client, making sure she had least had the beginners stuff.

[slothly]

Oh NOOOOO! You didn't realise you were playing with a bunch of kids younger than you. Sweeps older- how old was she then, like 4 or 5 sweeps? Oh no!!! You remember yourself aged 4- it was NOT a good time for you. You were so damn eager all the time... didn't you used to wear legwarmers as well? You shudder at the thought. Well, hopefully rixtie wasn't anything like 4 sweep old you- she didn't seem too bad. You were probably just overreacting.

MD: umm, hoUU old are you??
MD: in 7 sUUeeps, i didn't think i UUas THAT old
MD: man i just assumed you UUere the same age as me
MD: like a bit immature but...
MD: it's cool though right, like UUhateuer, yeah?

[starry palms]

You chuckle. Yes, you had won this round. Nahvra must've thought she was playing with little wrigglers or something, haha, priceless indeed. Okay, who were you kidding, you had a dry sense of humour, but this entertained you.

MP: Calm yourself, haha < :L
MP: I'm not that young.
MP: I'm six sweeps, so you're how many sweeps ahead of me? < :o

You continue deploying basics until there is basically no more room left in Nahvra's hive. You honestly have no idea what half of the stuff was but heck, it looked cool.
