[2015-12-22 16:37:15] skyironsword: You take the ruby in your hands.
[2015-12-22 16:37:31] skyironsword: It's rather large, for a gemstone. You briefly contemplate its value before placing it in your pocket.
[2015-12-22 16:37:39] skyironsword: Ruby added to inventory.
[2015-12-22 16:37:56] skyironsword: Submachine checks his watch irritably. "11:45," he tells you.
[2015-12-22 16:38:35] skyironsword: The rest of your journey through the park passes uneventfully.
[2015-12-22 16:38:39] UTAlan: Added "Bookmarks" to the forum. Click "Add Bookmark" on a thread ( i.imgur.com/tM13e55.png ) and it'll add it to "My Bookmarks" ( i.imgur.com/tox00A9.png ). Lemme know if it's worth keeping.
[2015-12-22 16:39:30] skyironsword: The only buildings worth noting are the jet black one you saw before and the junkyard. Submachine seems to be losing his patience.
[2015-12-22 16:39:34] skyironsword: [Building]
[2015-12-22 16:39:36] skyironsword: [Junkyard]
[2015-12-22 16:39:57] UTAlan: > Junkyard
[2015-12-22 16:39:59] Vineroz: ‹@UTAlan› I don't see the button/tab :O
[2015-12-22 16:40:18] skyironsword: >Junkyard (UTAlan)
[2015-12-22 16:40:33] UTAlan: ‹@Vineroz› hmm. Can anyone else verify whether it's there?
[2015-12-22 16:41:02] Zawadx: ‹@UTAlan› ... what does error 002 mean for a painting?
[2015-12-22 16:41:23] UTAlan: no idea
[2015-12-22 16:41:57] UTAlan: deleted? just a guess
[2015-12-22 16:42:15] skyironsword: You make your way to the pile of broken gadgets and shredded metal. The running water of the river provides background noise as you search through the rubble.
[2015-12-22 16:42:30] Zawadx: I spent the last 30 minutes making next year's headstone
[2015-12-22 16:42:39] Zawadx: and then error 002 popped up
[2015-12-22 16:43:03] UTAlan: hmm
[2015-12-22 16:43:06] UTAlan: not deleted, then
[2015-12-22 16:43:22] skyironsword: Among the trash, you find a piece of bubblewrap, a gold ring with no gem, and a blue pen that appears to be out of ink.
[2015-12-22 16:43:27] skyironsword: [Take bubblewrap]
[2015-12-22 16:43:29] skyironsword: [Take ring]
[2015-12-22 16:43:31] skyironsword: [Take pen]
[2015-12-22 16:43:35] skyironsword: [Take bubblewrap and ring]
[2015-12-22 16:43:37] Discord: ‹@antiaverage› hi
[2015-12-22 16:43:38] skyironsword: [Take bubblewrap and pen]
[2015-12-22 16:43:41] skyironsword: [Take ring and pen]
[2015-12-22 16:43:43] skyironsword: [Take all]
[2015-12-22 16:43:56] Zawadx: it's prolly because I painted for too long?
[2015-12-22 16:44:02] Zawadx: Or maybe put too much info in?
[2015-12-22 16:44:05] Zawadx: ‹@antiaverage› ?
[2015-12-22 16:44:12] UTAlan: > take all
[2015-12-22 16:44:23] skyironsword: >Take all (UTAlan)
[2015-12-22 16:44:33] skyironsword: You stuff the miscellaneous objects into your pockets.
[2015-12-22 16:45:02] skyironsword: The bubblewrap provides some momentary entertainment as you pop it dejectedly.
[2015-12-22 16:45:09] skyironsword: Ring added to inventory.
[2015-12-22 16:45:12] skyironsword: Pen added to inventory.
[2015-12-22 16:45:45] skyironsword: "I'm going to be late for lunch..." Sub turns away irritably. You'd nearly forgotten he was there.
[2015-12-22 16:46:07] UTAlan: > Building
[2015-12-22 16:46:28] skyironsword: You make your way to the building on the other side of the street.
[2015-12-22 16:46:35] UTAlan: ‹@Zawadx› you scared him off D:
[2015-12-22 16:46:48] skyironsword: You'd originally thought that there was no entrance, but taking a closer look, you see the outline of a door.
[2015-12-22 16:47:05] skyironsword: As you approach, it swings outward, and the girl from earlier greets you wordlessly.
[2015-12-22 16:47:21] skyironsword: "Your time's up." What is that supposed to mean?
[2015-12-22 16:47:28] skyironsword: Just as you ponder the meaning, you feel a slight ache in your head.
[2015-12-22 16:47:44] skyironsword: You find yourself in a much more familiar location than the city in which you spent the last few hours.
[2015-12-22 16:48:10] skyironsword: You try to recall the events of last night: You went out, got drunk, proposed to your girlfriend... and you don't remember anything that happened after that.
[2015-12-22 16:48:20] skyironsword: You figure that 'passing out on the sidewalk of New York' must have happened at some point, though.
[2015-12-22 16:48:46] skyironsword: A homeless man lobs a bottle of liquid at you halfheartedly. It shatters on the road before ever reaching you, though the smell tells you that the liquid inside is not water.
[2015-12-22 16:49:30] skyironsword: You reach into your pocket for your apartment keys, and find nothing except a small gemstone, a pen, and a used ring.
[2015-12-22 16:49:48] skyironsword: You contemplate their existence briefly before insetting the ruby into the slot on the ring. A perfect fit.
[2015-12-22 16:49:49] worldwideweb3: oh we still doing it? nice
[2015-12-22 16:50:11] skyironsword: You make your way to your apartment slowly, the effects of the hangover taking their toll on your swiftness.
[2015-12-22 16:50:43] skyironsword: You knock on the door, and your girlfriend and/or fiancee looks at you briefly before swinging the door open.
[2015-12-22 16:51:09] skyironsword: Ignoring the inquiries about your whereabouts the previous night, you present her the newly crafted ring.
[2015-12-22 16:51:27] skyironsword: I mean, you proposed already, might as well go with it now.
[2015-12-22 16:52:13] skyironsword: You wonder about the dream you had and how it seems to have interjected several objects from its universe into yours.
[2015-12-22 16:52:40] skyironsword: You vaguely recall a creeping purple color beginning to crawl over the roads on the side of town you began in.
[2015-12-22 16:52:52] skyironsword: You wonder what happened to Linkcat, and why he was separated from Submachine.
[2015-12-22 16:53:10] skyironsword: Why did the worker dissuade you from crossing the river? And why did Submachine know you would be there?
[2015-12-22 16:53:33] skyironsword: You take out the pen and shake it a few times, coaxing the last few drops of ink out.
[2015-12-22 16:53:39] skyironsword: You write yourself a note.
[2015-12-22 16:53:51] skyironsword: "Next time: Film self while drinking"
[2015-12-22 16:53:57] skyironsword: THE END
[2015-12-22 16:54:35] skyironsword: I wonder if this is stupid enough to get into WPSIC.
[2015-12-22 16:55:13] UTAlan: it was pretty awesome, imo
[2015-12-22 16:55:33] skyironsword: It was all improvised, too.
[2015-12-22 16:56:26] iancudorinmarian: /me claps
[2015-12-22 16:58:02] skyironsword: Here is your final result for this playthrough of Elemental City
[2015-12-22 16:58:03] skyironsword: tinyurl.com/qcswhg2
[2015-12-22 16:58:29] skyironsword: (You may need to copy and paste that link into the URL bar instead of clicking it.
[2015-12-22 16:59:51] skyironsword: Night, roleplayers. I hope I make it into WPSIC
[2015-12-22 17:00:01] skyironsword: Be a shame to lose all my improv to time.
[2015-12-22 17:01:27] skyironsword: Bust.
