Literi Entrance

<The_Narrator> Having allowed the unfamiliar program to run on your screen, you are greeted with a window opening.
<The_Narrator> Looks old tech.
<The_Narrator> It says "SBURB Combination Server and Client Program"
<The_Narrator> "Server player found."
<The_Narrator> "Halting client installation."
<quizzaciouslyDubious> well, that was easy.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> i didn't even have to Press any Buttons.
<The_Narrator> The program lists the server player as "ragingStronghold".
<The_Narrator> "Are you sure that you want this as your server?"
<The_Narrator> "y/n"
<quizzaciouslyDubious> "yes"
<The_Narrator> "Pinging server player..."
<The_Narrator> Cogtus, a window opens on your computer.
<The_Narrator> "Client player requesting Server"
<The_Narrator> "Accept?"
<The_Narrator> "y/n"
<ragingStronghold> "y"
<The_Narrator> "Running server installation..."
<The_Narrator> A loading screen comes up, eventually leading to an image of a troll standing in a room.
<The_Narrator> There is a toolbar with a few options, including deploying various machines, and altering the room itself.
<ragingStronghold> cogtus immediately clicks the troll
<ragingStronghold> repeatedly
<The_Narrator> Literi feels something poking him.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> huh?
<quizzaciouslyDubious> what is Poking me?
<The_Narrator> Other than that however, the cursor turns red and shakes.
<The_Narrator> Looks like you can't interact with him in any meaningful way.
<The_Narrator> Literi hears an explosion outside.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> he goes over to the window to investigate.
<The_Narrator> You can see a...
<The_Narrator> crater?
<The_Narrator> There's plenty of smoke coming from it.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi contacts his server player over pesterchum, who just so happens to be his friend.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> cogtus?
<ragingStronghold> how goes the going?
<ragingStronghold> again
<quizzaciouslyDubious> i think a meteor just landed outside my hive.
<ragingStronghold> do you think you could get a sample?
<quizzaciouslyDubious> maybe.
<ragingStronghold> i have always wanted to make something out of space metal
<quizzaciouslyDubious> But first, you are my server, correct?
<ragingStronghold> i do believe so
<quizzaciouslyDubious> is there anything sPecial haPPening on your end?
<ragingStronghold> i can click stuff
<quizzaciouslyDubious> stuff?
<quizzaciouslyDubious> what kind of stuff?
<ragingStronghold> a toolbar with some machines and stuff
<quizzaciouslyDubious> wait, were you the one Poking me?
<ragingStronghold> i believe
<ragingStronghold> cogtus clicks the troll again
<quizzaciouslyDubious> nevermind. what are these machines you mentioned?
<ragingStronghold> let me see
<The_Narrator> (One sec while I check how they're spelled again.)
<ragingStronghold> cogtus looks over what machines are available
<The_Narrator> There appear to be 4 of them.
<The_Narrator> The "Cruxruder", the "Totem Lathe", and the "Punch Designix".
<The_Narrator> And the "Alchemiter" as well.
<The_Narrator> There's also a pre-punched Captchalogue Card as well.
<ragingStronghold> cogtus places the card on the floor in-front of literi
<ragingStronghold> (i have to go for a bit)
<ragingStronghold> (i will be back in a bit though)
<ragingStronghold> (sorry)
<quizzaciouslyDubious> (we can just pause the universe for a second)
<The_Narrator> ((Aighty))
<The_Narrator> ((Ping me when you get back.))
<The_Narrator> ((WE BACK))
<quizzaciouslyDubious> ((ok))
<The_Narrator> There is now a card on the floor.
<The_Narrator> Amazing.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> cogtus, was that you that just did that?
<ragingStronghold> yes
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi examines the card.
<The_Narrator> Looks like it contains metal arrows.
<The_Narrator> Sadly, it's filled to the shit with holes.
<The_Narrator> You cannot retrieve the metal arrows.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> hmm.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> what else can you dePloy, cogtus?
<ragingStronghold> cogtus then places the cruxruder in-front of the door to the loadgaper and chuckles to himself
<ragingStronghold> this
<The_Narrator> There is now a large junk of metal with a valve on it blocking you.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> what is it?
<ragingStronghold> a "cruxruder"
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi turns the valve.
<The_Narrator> It looks like you can use the valve on it somehow.
<The_Narrator> You're not quite strong enough.
<The_Narrator> The lid looks to be stuck.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> hrrg... haahh...
<quizzaciouslyDubious> i can't do it.
<ragingStronghold> im disappointed
<quizzaciouslyDubious> cogtus, could you perhaps try to open it?
<ragingStronghold> nope if i click on it it just shows a little cristal with a massive number beside it
<quizzaciouslyDubious> i think the lid is stuck, you could try dropping something on it?
<The_Narrator> ((No you don't))
<ragingStronghold> (fuck)
<ragingStronghold> (what the hell happens then)
<The_Narrator> The cruxruder flashes red and buzzes.
<ragingStronghold> nope cant open it for you
<The_Narrator> Looks like you don't have enough "grist" to move it or whatever.
<The_Narrator> You'll need to impact some kind of force on it, it looks like...
<ragingStronghold> cogtus moves the screen into the bathroom and clicks the loadgaper
<The_Narrator> You rip the appliance from the floor.
<The_Narrator> Slime goes fucking everywhere.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> cogtus? what was that?
<ragingStronghold> nothing
<quizzaciouslyDubious> i'm Pretty sure that was something.
<ragingStronghold> cogtus moves the loadgaper over the crux-thing and lets go of it
<The_Narrator> You knock the lid off the machine.
<The_Narrator> You also spray the loadgaper slimer all over Literi.
<The_Narrator> And the carpet.
<The_Narrator> And the door.
<ragingStronghold> oops
<quizzaciouslyDubious> of all the heavy things in my house, you chose to riP the load gaPer out of the floor?
<ragingStronghold> yes
<ragingStronghold> yes i did
<quizzaciouslyDubious> cogtus, i am standing next to three Bookshelves.
<The_Narrator> Some of the slime drips down into Literi's mouth from his sunglasses.
<ragingStronghold> but then there would be books everywhere
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Bluh! fuck!
<quizzaciouslyDubious> ((hold on a sec))
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi wipes the slime off of his sunglasses, and goes to turn the valve again.
<The_Narrator> A tube comes out.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi grabs it.
<The_Narrator> You are now carrying a tube covered in slime.
<The_Narrator> You have no idea what to do with it.
<ragingStronghold> (where is the sprite?)
<quizzaciouslyDubious> what else can you dePloy, cogtus?
<The_Narrator> Also there a big glowing orb thing that you didn't notice until it floated right in front of you.
<The_Narrator> Go figure.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> oh.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> what is this thing?
<ragingStronghold> what is that thing?
<ragingStronghold> oh
<ragingStronghold> so you dont know?
<ragingStronghold> fuck
<The_Narrator> It appears to be vibrating quite jubilantly.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi pokes it.
<The_Narrator> It avoids your poking.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> huh.
<ragingStronghold> cogtus clicks it
<The_Narrator> You get the feeling that touching it would be a very bad idea.
<The_Narrator> It avoids your pointer too.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> hmm.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> well, what else can you dePloy, cogtus?
<ragingStronghold> a totem lathe
<quizzaciouslyDubious> could you dePloy it?
<ragingStronghold> cogtus places the lathe on the roof
<ragingStronghold> its on the roof
<quizzaciouslyDubious> alright.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi moves to the roof.
<The_Narrator> Nigh instantaneously, a meteor hits the lathe.
<ragingStronghold> shit
<The_Narrator> It's knocked down to the lawn.
<The_Narrator> ...Still intact surprisingly.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> fuck. that will take a while.
<ragingStronghold> the lathe just got shit on
<ragingStronghold> by a meteor
<quizzaciouslyDubious> dePloy more things, cogtus.
<ragingStronghold> do you think you could get a sample of this meteor?
<quizzaciouslyDubious> fine, jegus.
<ragingStronghold> cogtus places the alchemiter on the other end of the roof
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi captchalogues a piece of the meteor.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> He then makes his way over to the thing on his roof.
<The_Narrator> Looks like there's a slot for your cylinder thing.
<ragingStronghold> also i cant move the lathe back up to the roof you will have to go down to look at it
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi puts the cylinder in the slot.
<The_Narrator> Looks like you can create something with it!
<The_Narrator> Just need to press the button.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> *push*
<The_Narrator> A Perfectly Generic Object is created.
<The_Narrator> Congratulations.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> well.
<ragingStronghold> what did you just make?
<quizzaciouslyDubious> it looks like a green cuBe with rounded sides.
<ragingStronghold> what do we do with it?
<quizzaciouslyDubious> I don't know.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> is there anything else you can dePloy?
<ragingStronghold> just the punch designix
<quizzaciouslyDubious> sure, do it.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> wait a second...
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi looks up at the sky.
<The_Narrator> You can see lots of little, red stars...
<The_Narrator> Shooting stars.
<The_Narrator> Converging on your location.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> oh.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> OH.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> well, fuck.
<ragingStronghold> what?
<quizzaciouslyDubious> i think a meteor shower is going to hit my hive.
<ragingStronghold> well that is a problem
<ragingStronghold> but that means more samples
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi rushes down to where the totem lathe landed, with a new sense of urgency.
<The_Narrator> There's kind of something blocking the front door.
<ragingStronghold> (what?)
<quizzaciouslyDubious> cogtus?
<quizzaciouslyDubious> what is blocking my door?
<The_Narrator> ((The cruxtruder was placed in front of it?))
<The_Narrator> ((wait no))
<ragingStronghold> (no that was the door to the loadgaper)
<The_Narrator> ((I am a fool))
<The_Narrator> You rush to the lathe with no interuptions.
<The_Narrator> It would be ridiculous if you did.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi examines the machine.
<The_Narrator> There's another slot for your cylinder.
<The_Narrator> And also, for your cards.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi puts the appropriate things in the appropriate places.
<The_Narrator> There remains a button to be pressed.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> *press*
<The_Narrator> The totem has been carved.
<The_Narrator> You'll probably get something different with the alchemiter now!
<quizzaciouslyDubious> oh, i see what i'm suPPosed to do.
<ragingStronghold> well do it then
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi takes the totem and heads back up, briefly stopping in his room to see if that weird orb has gone anywhere.
<The_Narrator> It's just sort of hanging around here.
<The_Narrator> You feel like you should do something with it.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> hmm, i wonder...
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi takes a book off the shelf, which just so happens to be "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and throws it at the sprite.
<The_Narrator> The sprite dodges it.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> huh.
<The_Narrator> It appears to be unappreciative of things being thrown at it.
<The_Narrator> Suddenly, the ground shakes horribly.
<The_Narrator> A large explosion comes from outside.
<The_Narrator> The bookshelf starts to lean over...
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi heads up to the roof to investigate.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> ((whoops nvm))
<The_Narrator> It falls.
<The_Narrator> A flash of white...
<The_Narrator> Suddenly, the orb is now a mass of books and shit.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> well, that seems to have done something.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> *Now* Literi heads up to the roof to investigate what that loud crash was.
<The_Narrator> There doesn't seem to be anything he-
<The_Narrator> ...
<The_Narrator> ...
<quizzaciouslyDubious> ...?
<The_Narrator> There are several houses in your neighboorhood that no longer exist.
<The_Narrator> Another explosion.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> ((literi lives out in the middle of nowhere))
<The_Narrator> ((fucker))
<The_Narrator> WHAT I MEAN IS
<The_Narrator> There is now a crater the size of your house about 20 yards away from you.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> holy shit.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi takes the now carved totem and places in the slot on the alchemeter
<The_Narrator> The button!
<quizzaciouslyDubious> *PRESS*
<The_Narrator> Two red metal arrows appear.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> literi picks them up and examines them.
<The_Narrator> Doesn't look like the kind you shoot out a bow...
<quizzaciouslyDubious> cogtus?
<ragingStronghold> what the fuck are you suppose to do with those
<The_Narrator> They're flat enough that you could probably cut yourself on the edge if you're not careful.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> i have no idea.
<The_Narrator> They are also: incredibly brittle.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> literi throws one into the ground.
<The_Narrator> It immiedietly breaks into pieces.
<The_Narrator> You feel a bit odd now.
<The_Narrator> Limbs feel like they're wading through water.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> ermm...
<quizzaciouslyDubious> literi throws the other one.
<The_Narrator> It breaks too.
<The_Narrator> You feel like 50 cups of coffee.
<The_Narrator> The meteors are really raining down now.
<The_Narrator> Your home is breaking apart...
<quizzaciouslyDubious> i.. uhh..
<The_Narrator> Everything goes red.
<The_Narrator> ...
<The_Narrator> ...
<The_Narrator> You wake up.
<The_Narrator> You're in a... swamp?
<The_Narrator> Looking up, you can see the text:
<The_Narrator> Land of Swamps and Frogs
<The_Narrator> (whoops, mistyped)
<The_Narrator> Land of Swamps and Toads
<quizzaciouslyDubious> cogtus?
<The_Narrator> The only things that remain of your house is the computer, and the variety of machinery from the game.
<The_Narrator> Everything else is dust.
<ragingStronghold> i have no idea what just happened
<quizzaciouslyDubious> well, my house is gone.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> and, i think i'm not on earth anymore.
<ragingStronghold> that is a problem
<quizzaciouslyDubious> i'm not sure if it is.
<quizzaciouslyDubious> Literi further examines his surroundings.
<The_Narrator> You can see someone in the distance, you think...
<ragingStronghold> but you have no house
