[2015-12-22 15:37:14] skyironsword: Why do you all come to chat
[2015-12-22 15:37:16] skyironsword: Chat is a boring place
[2015-12-22 15:38:47] skyironsword: We could always go and do things like normal people
[2015-12-22 15:38:53] skyironsword: The only thing to do here is play blackjack
[2015-12-22 15:39:11] skyironsword: I'm not very good.
[2015-12-22 15:40:15] skyironsword: I should host a forum game that revolves entirely around doing things in chat
[2015-12-22 15:40:26] skyironsword: We could have, like, a live Safari Zone
[2015-12-22 15:47:37] skyironsword: You enter the room. A girl sits near the back, holding a deck of cards and staring into space. Two of the younger men sit together, chatting idly, as some kind of reality show plays on the TV.
[2015-12-22 15:47:44] skyironsword: [Play Blackjack]

[2015-12-22 15:50:33] skyironsword: "... completely useless, so I dusted it." The more hygienic of the two men looks up for a moment.
[2015-12-22 15:50:48] skyironsword: "Can I help you?"

[2015-12-22 15:52:12] skyironsword: The man looks at you questioningly. "Are... you feeling alright? I'm Linkcat. Always have been. This is Submachine, if you somehow forgot."
[2015-12-22 15:52:21] skyironsword: Maybe that wasn't the best thing to ask.

[2015-12-22 15:53:57] skyironsword: >Back
[2015-12-22 15:54:15] iancudorinmarian: There is?
[2015-12-22 15:54:32] skyironsword: The two men resume their conversation. The girl has placed the deck of cards on the table, continuing to stare into nothing.
[2015-12-22 15:54:43] skyironsword: >Play Blackjack
[2015-12-22 15:55:22] skyironsword: You extend your hand and retrieve the deck of cards. The girl looks at you a bit strangely. Playing blackjack alone isn't really that good of an idea, but you've already started, so...
[2015-12-22 15:55:27] skyironsword:

[2015-12-22 15:56:11] skyironsword: Bust. Ah well, it's not like you had any competition. You return the deck of cards.
[2015-12-22 15:56:29] skyironsword: The girl takes them and leaves the room. It's just you, the two males, and the background noise of the TV.
[2015-12-22 15:56:40] UTAlan: that was mean of her
[2015-12-22 15:56:54] skyironsword: >Watch TV
[2015-12-22 15:57:01] Vineroz: what happened here
[2015-12-22 15:57:15] skyironsword: You flip through the channels, and see nothing of interest. Maybe you'll watch the news?
[2015-12-22 15:57:16] skyironsword: [News]

[2015-12-22 15:58:34] skyironsword: You flip to the only news station available. The reporter stares unnaturally into the camera and speaks with exaggerated inflection, like all reporters do. "There was an issue with the architecture of the Elemental's Bridge around 4 AM this morning.
[2015-12-22 15:58:47] skyironsword: Luckily, the streets were empty, so no one was hurt when the bridge collapsed. Repairs have already begun..." You zone out.
[2015-12-22 15:59:03] skyironsword: You shut off the TV. There's not really anything left to do there.
[2015-12-22 15:59:10] n00b: Hey Viney, skyron
[2015-12-22 15:59:19] skyironsword: The room is empty. The two men left while you were watching the news.
[2015-12-22 15:59:28] skyironsword: You decide to head out into the city.
[2015-12-22 15:59:30] n00b: Finally done with my semester haha
[2015-12-22 16:01:34] worldwideweb3: Story time with sky?
[2015-12-22 16:01:50] skyironsword:
[2015-12-22 16:02:08] UTAlan: go check out the bridge
[2015-12-22 16:02:14] skyironsword: You look at your magic map. You still aren't sure where you got it (or even how you got into this strange world), but it seems to have updated with the location of the bridge.
[2015-12-22 16:02:16] UTAlan: (I wish I was this creative) >.<
[2015-12-22 16:02:55] skyironsword: Leaving the empty room behind, you spot the two men walking away towards a building that is presumably the green box on your map. The girl is nowhere to be seen.
[2015-12-22 16:02:58] skyironsword: [Green box]
[2015-12-22 16:03:01] skyironsword: [Blue building]

[2015-12-22 16:03:28] UTAlan: woo!
[2015-12-22 16:03:50] skyironsword: After winding your way along several empty roads, you find the bridge. A few people can be seen cleaning up the debris from the bridge's collapse.
[2015-12-22 16:04:15] skyironsword: A river runs through the area, cutting you off from the other half of the city.
[2015-12-22 16:04:35] skyironsword: This place is beginning to creep you out. It's nearly devoid of people.

[2015-12-22 16:07:14] skyironsword: "What's on the other half of the city?" you inquire, gesturing to the northeast (if your map is to be believed).
[2015-12-22 16:07:50] skyironsword: The worker looks over and thinks for a moment before replying cautiously. "Nothing that would be of any interest to you."

[2015-12-22 16:16:35] skyironsword: You step down to the shore and contemplate the best way to cross the river. The water doesn't seem to be flowing particularly quickly.
[2015-12-22 16:16:55] skyironsword: Perhaps it'd still be safer to get some help though.

[2015-12-22 16:19:29] skyironsword: Having already walked down the shore, you can't be bothered to climb all the way back up. You're just about to take the plunge into the water when you feel a tap on the shoulder.
[2015-12-22 16:19:41] skyironsword: You turn around. It's one of the men from the room. Submachine, was it?
[2015-12-22 16:19:51] skyironsword: "Are you trying to cross the river?" he asks suspiciously.
[2015-12-22 16:20:02] skyironsword: "Are you trying to dissuade me?" you ask with equal suspicion.
[2015-12-22 16:20:28] skyironsword: He pauses, seemingly surprised by this response. "Well, there's a better way to do it than drowning in the current."
[2015-12-22 16:20:36] qwerter: link me to the etg discord server again please?
[2015-12-22 16:20:57] skyironsword: "It's not that fast of a current..." you grumble, annoyed. But if he knows a better way, you might as well make use of it.
[2015-12-22 16:21:31] skyironsword: The time is 11:15 AM when Submachine returns with his makeshift boat. Less of a boat, really, and more of a raft with an engine glued to it.

[2015-12-22 16:22:22] skyironsword: You aren't sure if it will hold - and indeed, some water seems to have spilled in already - but he ferries you across the river, on the condition that he trail you until you return to the side of the city you began your journey on.
[2015-12-22 16:23:24] skyironsword: The map, unfortunately, does not seem to be a GPS, for it is still centered on the same position it was before. You can't help but notice that about a third of the map, the left portion, has purple roads instead of black.
[2015-12-22 16:23:30] skyironsword: You've never really liked the color purple.
[2015-12-22 16:23:55] skyironsword: It won't be much use if it doesn't show the location of anything in the area, so you fold the map and place it in your pocket.
[2015-12-22 16:25:20] skyironsword: Looking up at the scenery in front of you, there's a small amount of shrubbery behind a gate in some poor attempt at recreating the environment. To your left is a jet black building without a window or even an entrance.
[2015-12-22 16:25:29] qwerter: ‹@Discord› i don't see anything
[2015-12-22 16:25:49] skyironsword: To your right is what appears to be a landfill - or, rather, a junkyard, you correct yourself as you note its lack of actual garbage.

[2015-12-22 16:27:54] Guest-FateEgg-6d20f: AKA, how much do i need to go back in chat history?
[2015-12-22 16:27:55] skyironsword: The gates are closed, but not locked, and provide no resistance. It creaks shut behind you and Submachine as you step upon the path.
[2015-12-22 16:28:09] vagman13: 5 years ?
[2015-12-22 16:28:16] vagman13: and it's not an RPG
[2015-12-22 16:28:36] vagman13: oh you meant the chat game
[2015-12-22 16:28:52] skyironsword: Making your way down the path in large strides, you eventually find yourself in the center of a relatively large clearing.
[2015-12-22 16:28:53] Guest-FateEgg-6d20f: Yes. The one that sky is hosting at the moment
