[13:59]  * shockingDevelopment has begun trolling meddlesomeSqualor
[14:00] <shockingDevelopment> Hey, I know it's been a while, but I just got this really weird memo thing today.
[14:00] <meddlesomeSqualor> Well well well, look who the cat dragged in
[14:00] <meddlesomeSqualor> Just couldn't stay away, couldja?
[14:01] <shockingDevelopment> I guess I couldn't;
[14:01] <shockingDevelopment> :P
[14:01] <meddlesomeSqualor> Don't worry, I getcha
[14:01] <meddlesomeSqualor> Stockholm Syndrome is a serious problem
[14:01] <meddlesomeSqualor> Okay but really.  S'good to hear from you again
[14:02] <shockingDevelopment> Apologies for not contacting you sooner; It turns out farming is significantly harder than one would think;
[14:02] <meddlesomeSqualor> Oh, I believe you
[14:02] <meddlesomeSqualor> But it's going well for you?
[14:03] <shockingDevelopment> It is alright. The fertilizer distributer is having some minor issues but I can deal with that later; You?
[14:03] <meddlesomeSqualor> Can't complain
[14:03] <meddlesomeSqualor> New group is... quite the bunch
[14:03] <meddlesomeSqualor> One of them almost got hit by a train the other day
[14:03] <meddlesomeSqualor> IRL
[14:03] <shockingDevelopment> Wow;
[14:03] <meddlesomeSqualor> I know, right?
[14:04] <shockingDevelopment> Aren't those almost always alerted by giant warning lights?
[14:04] <meddlesomeSqualor> Dunno
[14:04] <meddlesomeSqualor> Maybe not where he's from?
[14:04] <shockingDevelopment> Hm; Possible;
[14:05] <meddlesomeSqualor> Anyway though.  Weird memo you wanted help with?
[14:05] <shockingDevelopment> Good think he is alright though;
[14:05] <shockingDevelopment> Yes;
[14:05] <meddlesomeSqualor> Since I'm obviously the wisest and best help anyone could ever receive
[14:05] <shockingDevelopment> Something about the world ending and knowing people;
[14:05] <shockingDevelopment> Well, your name was on the CC list;
[14:05] <meddlesomeSqualor> Uh... huh
[14:06] <meddlesomeSqualor> Didn't think you were on that list
[14:06] <meddlesomeSqualor> Well
[14:06] <meddlesomeSqualor> This changes things a smidge
[14:06] <shockingDevelopment> I got linked to it by somebody who told me I was a replacement for another;
[14:07] <meddlesomeSqualor> Oh
[14:07] <meddlesomeSqualor> *Crumbs*.
[14:08]  * meddlesomeSqualor checks the list of names and faces and presumably sees the same thing whoever it was who also looked saw
[14:08] <meddlesomeSqualor> Alrighty then
[14:08] <meddlesomeSqualor> Welcome to the apocalypse
[14:08] <meddlesomeSqualor> I think you're our new chosen one
[14:08] <shockingDevelopment> That does not sound good; You are sure this is not a scam?
[14:08] <meddlesomeSqualor> It's definitely real
[14:09] <meddlesomeSqualor> Or else Mum's screwing with me
[14:09] <shockingDevelopment> I was hoping you would not say that; :/
[14:09] <meddlesomeSqualor> But that's basically the same thing
[14:10] <meddlesomeSqualor> Any chance you've been in contact with a dude called zoroastrianTextuary?
[14:10] <shockingDevelopment> let me check my logs;
[14:10] <meddlesomeSqualor> Chill kid, may have called himself Zogg or Twelve?
[14:10] <meddlesomeSqualor> Bad with sarcasm?
[14:11] <shockingDevelopment> I have; They were the one who sent me this;
[14:11] <shockingDevelopment> "ZT: i'm sorry you have to have been added to this.
[14:11] <shockingDevelopment> ZT: i've set previous messages to be able to be read.
[14:11] <shockingDevelopment> ZT: melancholicRegent has been taken from us by the dark forces of the void.
[14:11] <shockingDevelopment> ZT: you're who has been chosen to replace her, in case such an event should happen before the entry order is finalized.
[14:11] <shockingDevelopment> ZT: good luck."
[14:11] <meddlesomeSqualor> ... PB's gonna be devastated
[14:12] <shockingDevelopment> PB?
[14:12] <meddlesomeSqualor> Another player
[14:12] <meddlesomeSqualor> Should see his picture on the list, right?
[14:13] <shockingDevelopment> Ah yes; There his is in the original message;
[14:14] <meddlesomeSqualor> Yeah
[14:14] <meddlesomeSqualor> Listen, SD?
[14:14] <shockingDevelopment> Yes?
[14:15] <yzabtech> ((PB's picture looks like a girl))
[14:15] <meddlesomeSqualor> This is going to suck.  A lot
[14:15] <shockingDevelopment> I do not like the sound of this;
[14:15] <shockingDevelopment> Do you know what it entails?
[14:16] <meddlesomeSqualor> I don't know the general rules, but the game at least put *me* into what amounts to a personalized torture chamber
[14:16] <meddlesomeSqualor> Not that I don't deserve all of it and worse, of course, but still
[14:16] <meddlesomeSqualor> S'not a nice experience
[14:18] <meddlesomeSqualor> ... But staying to die might not be much better
[14:18] <shockingDevelopment> ...
[14:18] <shockingDevelopment> Should I even participate then?
[14:18] <meddlesomeSqualor> Up to you
[14:19] <meddlesomeSqualor> Nobody will fault you if you say no
[14:19] <shockingDevelopment> Is there a chance of survival inside?
[14:19] <meddlesomeSqualor> No idea
[14:19] <meddlesomeSqualor> There's violence.  Supposedly puzzles, too
[14:19] <shockingDevelopment> Perhaps there is then; Hopefully there is a way out;
[14:19] <shockingDevelopment> Dying here and not knowing would not be worthwhile;
[14:20] <meddlesomeSqualor> Attaboy
[14:20] <meddlesomeSqualor> Fight the urge to die before I do
[14:20] <shockingDevelopment> So; How do we proceed?
[14:21] <meddlesomeSqualor> You're gonna need to bring your picture down to the middle
[14:21] <meddlesomeSqualor> Probably next to the black-haired loser's picture
[14:21] <meddlesomeSqualor> The human black-haired loser
[14:22] <shockingDevelopment> ((Okay, is this some kind of UI? the download for my character is at 60%)
[14:22] <shockingDevelopment> ((All he has right now is the memo))
[14:22] <meddlesomeSqualor> ((Yeah, this came after the download I think))
[14:23] <shockingDevelopment> I do not think I have the UI yet; Downloading from alternia on a rigged connection is not as fast as I would like;
[14:23] <meddlesomeSqualor> Ah
[14:23] <meddlesomeSqualor> Still busy with that bit
[14:24] <meddlesomeSqualor> Alright then, there's more to do anyway
[14:24] <meddlesomeSqualor> Firstly, you're gonna need a clear space to work in
[14:24] <meddlesomeSqualor> And very possibly also to fight for your life in
[14:24] <shockingDevelopment> My hive has only three rooms; Does outside work?
[14:25] <meddlesomeSqualor> No idea
[14:25] <meddlesomeSqualor> But worth a shot
[14:25] <shockingDevelopment> Alright;
[14:25] <shockingDevelopment> I have my electrostaff on hand; I'll start charging it now;
[14:25] <meddlesomeSqualor> Good call
[14:25]  * shockingDevelopment starts charging his staff with "Power Device"
[14:25] <meddlesomeSqualor> Also, captchalogue everything not nailed down
[14:26] <shockingDevelopment> Any particular reason why?
[14:26] <meddlesomeSqualor> One object is going to come to life, and you wanna make sure you're the one who picks
[14:26] <shockingDevelopment> Hm;
[14:26] <shockingDevelopment> Most of my things are locked in place, though I will go and pack up my tools; Be right back;
[14:27] <meddlesomeSqualor> I wound up with a fedora neckbeard which is shamefully lacking in musical capabilities
[14:27]  * shockingDevelopment tidies a good bit, cleaning up
[14:27]  * shockingDevelopment returns to his laptop
[14:27] <shockingDevelopment> Done;
[14:27] <shockingDevelopment> Wait what;
[14:27] <meddlesomeSqualor> Long story
[14:27] <meddlesomeSqualor> Well, not so much long as mind-bogglingly stupid
[14:28] <meddlesomeSqualor> But if the thing you pick has any stereotypes attached, they should carry over
[14:28] <shockingDevelopment> Why do I get the feeling that will be my experience before the end of the day?
[14:28] <shockingDevelopment> Interesting;
[14:28] <meddlesomeSqualor> Because you're the chosen one who sees the future
[14:28] <meddlesomeSqualor> Ooh, spooky~
[14:28]  * shockingDevelopment rolls his eyes
[14:28] <shockingDevelopment> uh huh;
[14:29] <meddlesomeSqualor> Eeyup
[14:30] <meddlesomeSqualor> But seriously.  Pick something nice
[14:30] <shockingDevelopment> I will look into it;
[14:30] <meddlesomeSqualor> Or something as nice as you deserve to have to deal with
[14:30] <shockingDevelopment> Haha; Its good to talk with you again;
[14:31] <shockingDevelopment> In any case; Do you know what I will be defending my life against?
[14:31] <meddlesomeSqualor> DMPC called them imps
[14:31] <meddlesomeSqualor> Short grabby dudes who smell like Doritos
[14:32] <shockingDevelopment> Good to know; Thank you;
[14:32] <shockingDevelopment> Even though that sounds highly suspicious;
[14:32] <meddlesomeSqualor> Everything I say sounds like that
[14:32] <meddlesomeSqualor> I'm an inherently suspicious person
[14:32] <meddlesomeSqualor> My name is literally Lies, SD
[14:33] <shockingDevelopment> True enough;
[14:33] <shockingDevelopment> And therefore not suspicous;
[14:33] <meddlesomeSqualor> And therefore OOC and subsequently even more suspicious
[14:33] <shockingDevelopment> exactly;
[14:33] <shockingDevelopment> brilliant;
[14:34] <meddlesomeSqualor> Thank you, thank you.  I try to be
[14:34] <meddlesomeSqualor> I fail, but I try
[14:34] <shockingDevelopment> You are welcome; In any case, the download should complete shortly;
[14:34] <meddlesomeSqualor> Good
[14:34] <meddlesomeSqualor> ... Relatively, at least
