<Gauss[DM]> -------
<Gauss[DM]> As Andrew loads the game, this screen is shown.
<Gauss[DM]> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh7k6bTIo78
<BounceBack> "huh weird"
<Gauss[DM]> Finally, the only words that can be seen on screen are ARBATA.
<Gauss[DM]> It then promptly glitches for a brief moment, then to SBURB.
<Gauss[DM]> After a few seconds, an interface pops up, as well as Lucius' room.
<infiniteKnowledge> It's a musty library with hundreds of books, a bronze troll holding a head and a worm.
<BounceBack> BounceBack started espering infiniteKnowledge
<BounceBack> BB: dude i put your name in that memo program and i'm seeing a room
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: I presume it's my room.
<infiniteKnowledge> I wave my hand.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Did you see me wave?
<BounceBack> BB: why is there a bust, a worm and a horned grey dude
<BounceBack> BB: HOLY SHIT WTF
<BounceBack> BB: btw i did
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: That proves correct several of my HYPOTHESES.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: You should see a MENU, correct?
<BounceBack> BB: have you done this before?
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Yes.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: I do hope I will not have to kill CLONES of myself this time though.
<BounceBack> BB: oooooooooh you helped Hivern
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Indeed.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Mildly TRAUMATIC, but fascinating.
<BounceBack> BB: ikr
<BounceBack> BB: but yeah, i have a menu
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Put down the three MACHINES.
<BounceBack> BB: and won't ask why you're grey, horned, with a worm and a bust
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: I'll clear some books.
<infiniteKnowledge> I push books out of the way.
<BounceBack> BB: sure...
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: What do you MEAN why am I grey and horned?
<BounceBack> BB: cause i'm not
<BounceBack> BB: i have neither horns or grey
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Are you not a TROLL?
<BounceBack> BB: not the internet kind no
<BounceBack> BB: i'm human
<BounceBack> BB: from earth
<BounceBack> BB: with a stand
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Another fully SENTIENT race, fascinating.
<BounceBack> BB: dude
<BounceBack> BB: meteors
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: If I may, I'd like to KNOW more about your race in time.
<BounceBack> BB: racial differences later
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Yes, METEORS.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: PLACE the machines.
<BounceBack> i place them were they fit
<infiniteKnowledge> I open the cruxtruder
<Gauss[DM]> ...or at least, you try to.
<BounceBack> BB: woah you know what you're doing
<infiniteKnowledge> !roll 1d20+1
<NOTTyche[Dice]> (1d20+1) [18+1] : {19}
<infiniteKnowledge> Nah kid, I do.
<Gauss[DM]> Fortunately, it works.
<Gauss[DM]> Using that bust of yours as a weapon, you mash it at the Cruxtruder's lid.
<BounceBack> *IK:
<BounceBack> BB: what is that bust anyway
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: My stand.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: I do not THINK it does anything.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Yet.
<BounceBack> BB: wow that can be different
<BounceBack> BB: they*
<BounceBack> BB: maybe don't swing it around, i can feel mines pain after a bit
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: So far I have not FELT it.
<BounceBack> BB: so unless you want a concussion, stop
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: I will keep that in MIND.
<BounceBack> BB: nice
<BounceBack> BB: oh i can still place a card, do i
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Yes.
<BounceBack> i do
<Gauss[DM]> To think of it, you do feel a bit dizzy.
<Gauss[DM]> It goes away shortly afterwards.
<BounceBack> i place it on his desk
<infiniteKnowledge> I take the totem and put it on the lathe with the card in the slot.
<BounceBack> BB: btw what's your name
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Lucius Aemohs.
<BounceBack> BB: Andrew rose
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Interesting.
<BounceBack> BB: and what are you doing
<infiniteKnowledge> I lathe the totem.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: I am LATHING the totem so the Alchemiter can read it.
<BounceBack> BB: neat
<BounceBack> BB: my friends and i should get this done quick if that's all it takes
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Indeed.
<BounceBack> BB: so what happened with Hivern after he put his lathed totem on the alchemiter
<infiniteKnowledge> I select my favourite book, Troll Eisenhorn, a novel about a Troll Warhammer Inquisitor's adventures in space.
<Gauss[DM]> Ah yes.
<BounceBack> BB: why the book?
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: He had to Feed himself to a dog.
<infiniteKnowledge> I chuck it at the sprite.
<Gauss[DM]> There's that bronze-colored flashy thingy.
<BounceBack> BB: why am i not surprised
<Gauss[DM]> You suppose it's tradition to this game.
<BounceBack> BB: wait why'd you throw the book?
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: The sprite EATS things.
<BounceBack> BB: huh
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Hivern's ate an ACTION FIGURE.
<BounceBack> BB: neat
<Gauss[DM]> You are now with EISENHORNSPRITE.
<Gauss[DM]> or EISENSPRITE for short.
<infiniteKnowledge> Awesome
<BounceBack> BB: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Still an UNKNOWN process, but it works.
<BounceBack> BB: what did Hivern throw in
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: An action figure of some GRUB card game.
<BounceBack> BB: hmmmmmmmm, spiky hair and blade thing on arm
<infiniteKnowledge> I put the totem on the alchemitor and push the button.
<Gauss[DM]> On the larger surface, a flashlight appears.
<infiniteKnowledge> Interesting.
<infiniteKnowledge> I take it and turn it on.
<Gauss[DM]> It's time you do it. Now.
<Gauss[DM]> 6:25
<BounceBack> BB: what do now
<BounceBack> BB: timer, shit
<BounceBack> BB: clock's literally ticking now
<Gauss[DM]> The area around you glows slightly.
<Gauss[DM]> The glow doesn't seem to be increasing, but it's still glowing.
<infiniteKnowledge> I shine it on my marble head.
<Gauss[DM]> The glow increases.
<Gauss[DM]> Slowly, but surely.
<infiniteKnowledge> I shine it on my hand.
<Gauss[DM]> 6:00
<Gauss[DM]> It increases further.
<BounceBack> BB: make shadow puppets
<BounceBack> BB: just a suggestion
<Gauss[DM]> 5:50
<Gauss[DM]> As you fool around with the flashlight, the clouds above you clear.
<infiniteKnowledge> I make a barkbeast shadow puppet.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: It's a barkbeast, hehe.
<infiniteKnowledge> I shine it at Eisensprite.
<Gauss[DM]> The two moons shine upon you, as if beckoning you to look upon them.
<infiniteKnowledge> I look upon them.
<BounceBack> BB: nice dog
<Gauss[DM]> The moons are somewhat unusually dark tonight.
<BounceBack> BB: wait
<Gauss[DM]> Perhaps...?
<BounceBack> BB: TWO MOONS
<BounceBack> BB: they're mirrors
<infiniteKnowledge> I shine it at one.
<Gauss[DM]> Now we're talking.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Good idea.
<BounceBack> BB: ikr
<Gauss[DM]> The shine around you glows much more than before.
<infiniteKnowledge> Now on the other.
<Gauss[DM]> >Lucius: Shine.
<Gauss[DM]> As you shine the flashlight on the moons, the glow eventually gets extremely blinding.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Oh dear.
<BounceBack> BB: yup
<BounceBack> BB: beam him up scotty
<Gauss[DM]> Your whole body feels ethereal; Out of existence. Is this what teleportation feels like? You're not sure.
<BounceBack> BB: i was joking
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Ah, a Troll Star Trek fan?
<BounceBack> BB: but neat
<BounceBack> BB: suuuuuuuuuure...
<infiniteKnowledge> I shine it at myself.
<Gauss[DM]> As the general area around your hive fades into white, you are suddenly rushed; hyperspeed?
<Gauss[DM]> The glow eventually gets to your eyes and your view becomes obscured by pure, bright white.
<Gauss[DM]> Today has been an odd day for you.
<infiniteKnowledge> I wait for it to end.
<Gauss[DM]> First, you have been messaged by one of the mysterious type of... superpowers, you presume, called Stands.
<BounceBack> BB: one word
<BounceBack> BB: holyshit
<Gauss[DM]> Then you got a Stand yourself, which was a simple marble bust... or was it?
<Gauss[DM]> And then you were dragged down to this mess, the ARBATA game, the blinding light, the sprite...
<Gauss[DM]> It all has been a big jumble of events for you.
<Gauss[DM]> The light settles down.
<Gauss[DM]> But it seems to be bright... too bright for night.
<infiniteKnowledge> I go outsidee.
<Gauss[DM]> You step in what seems to be snow.
<Gauss[DM]> Strange, it never snowed recently.
<BounceBack> BB: this ain't kansas anymore
<infiniteKnowledge> I look up and around.
<BounceBack> BB: i'm jealous, we never get snow in Sans Francisco
<BounceBack> BB: *san
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: San Francisco. Interesting.
<Gauss[DM]> What's even strange was that the snow was pink. In fact, the whole area was covered in thick layers of light pinkish snow, which seemed to be spewing some sort of vapor.
<infiniteKnowledge> I put my sleeve over my mouth. Pink snow does not sound totally healthy.
<BounceBack> BB: cotton candy
<BounceBack> BB: sweet
<BounceBack> BB: hehe, we get it you vape
<Gauss[DM]> Further off into the horizon, you can see various pillar-like structure buried in the frozen vapor snow. It seems to be reflecting light, what with strips of rainbow all over the place.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: It's beautiful.
<infiniteKnowledge> IK: Like nothing on ALTERNIA.
<BounceBack> BB: yeah
<Gauss[DM]> The nature of this world feels so...
<Gauss[DM]> Different.
<BounceBack> BB: alternia, that your planet
<Gauss[DM]> Welcome, Lucius Aemohs, to the Land of Prisms and Insight.
<Gauss[DM]> You feel like it's going to be a long day.
