Hello, client player! 0u0
It is I, your benevolent server
here to offer you aid in your hour of need!
AlienatedConscience
Cizt3i! You'r3 still aliv3.
despondentArtist
Yep! I fought an imp on a conveyor belt
it wouldn't take me down, though.
AlienatedConscience
I was conc3rn3d your battl3s told by th3 oth3rs was 3nding in your doom.
just on3.
despondentArtist
well, yes
I never have been the best at raw damage
and that thing took forever to kill
by the way, have you been able to leave your hive yet?
I appear to be stuck at my dwelling in a matter that borders on the titular. 0_0
AlienatedConscience
I'v3 b33n trying to fly out as it w3r3, but it s33ms I n33d you to escap3 my dwelling.
could you build something on my roof that I can climb to whatever is abov3 it, I'm told it's a gat3.
despondentArtist
one moment
(I zoom out)
ah, yes, I see
you seem to have accumulated some more grist
I can build a staircase or sorts
or perhaps a ladder
but didn't you say something about flying earlier?
AlienatedConscience
I've only got a bit more than 100 build so be frugal got it. I've got my own plans too.
certain details are preventing me from flying which need not be mentioned at this time.
despondentArtist
very well. I should be able to make a series of staircases, ending in a 10 square foot landing every 25 vertical feet.
I don't think i have enough for handrails, though
so make sure you don't fall
(I set about creating narrow staircases and small landings)
AlienatedConscience
Handrails are for weaklings, I can handle myself just fine
AlienatedConscience
This looks oddly familiar to what I built for Jakren.
despondentArtist
For any task, there will often emerge an optimal strategy
once discovered, this method will be repeated by anyone because it is simply the best choice
it is by deviating from this ideal efficiency that true art is born
but i have a feeling i don't have full creative freedom here 0u0
TuT
AlienatedConscience
Just make sure that you're making the optimal staircase to walk on, you're dealing with a fledgling designer here
You're sounding smarter every day
despondentArtist
Perhaps. Or perhaps I was smart all along. >u0
One never can tell.
anyways, i'll make sure to make the stairs wide enough so that you don't get knocked off by a gust of wind or something
i'd like you to survive at least until we get a chance to meet 0u0
Procyon
((im just going to tell you when you run out.))
AlienatedConscience
You know I've heard a lot about wind recently, it's very strange.
(I should say I'm in the room now, I'll go up to the roof.)
*I go to the roof to examine the staircase
AlienatedConscience
What do I see?
Procyon
It's a crappy staircase.
AlienatedConscience
((Terrific))
I message Ciztei over the phone,
What is this.
despondentArtist
0u0
it's a staircase
to get you up to that big glowy portal
AlienatedConscience
It's garbage, nothing about this looks aesthetically pleasing!
despondentArtist
um
function over form?
we can make it look all nice later once you get more grist
AlienatedConscience
Are you under soporific influence, whatever, we'll fix it later.
*I attempt to climb the staircase.
despondentArtist
0n0
i am astonished you would imply such a thing
AlienatedConscience
Hey I don't know what you're doing with your life.
despondentArtist
I am under the intoxicating influence of ADVENTURE
AlienatedConscience
Really, really. ..save that for Jakren
despondentArtist
alright, alright Tm0
staircase working ok?
AlienatedConscience
Maybe.
(Do I climb the staircase?)
AlienatedConscience
I assume that I climb the staircase.
Procyon
((it was sorry i didnt expect you guys needed such guidance))
AlienatedConscience
(( well what fun is it without a DM to stop progress))
I jump into the "gate" from the top of the staircase
despondentArtist
Caelia? Caelia?
CAEEEEELIIIIAAAA!
aaaand she's gone 0n0
AlienatedConscience
((End?))
