Chanda: Enter

[21:54] <Strategist14> It is currently seven days after the end of the world.
[21:54] <Strategist14> Or rather, the end of... most of the world.
[21:56] <Strategist14> Life is resilient, however, and between shelter, personal willpower, an astronomical amount of luck, and perhaps a few meteors winding up mysteriously disappearing before impact, you are alive.
[21:56] <Strategist14> Your name is Chanda Filomena Fortir, and you still have a game to play.
[21:57]  * coolGuy [CG] began pestering smileyFrown [SF]
[21:57] <coolGuy> Hello!
[21:58] <smileyFrown> Um, hello?
[21:59] <coolGuy> You had one job to survive, and what do you do?  You blow it!
[21:59] <coolGuy> Now I have to show up and save your sorry self.
[22:00] <coolGuy> When somebody tells you to form a circle, the correct response is to FORM A CIRCLE.
[22:01] <smileyFrown> And how do I knwo tehy know better...?
[22:01] <coolGuy> Litsen.
[22:02] <coolGuy> Oh you have got to be kidding me listen*
[22:02] <coolGuy> The universe ended.  You barely survived.
[22:02] <coolGuy> You aren't going to keep surviving unless you do as I told you a week ago and you join into the circle.
[22:03] <coolGuy> Is any of this getting through to you?
[22:03] <smileyFrown> ........ Clearly I'm just gonna, uh... Okay. Last I remember was getting shot at, so, might as well...?
[22:04] <coolGuy> Follow these instructions if you wish to live.
[22:04] <Strategist14> Your computer beeps.  Something is being downloaded, apparently.
[22:04] <Strategist14> While is does so, please describe your surroundings.
[22:06] <smileyFrown> I'm.... in my room in Australia... How i got back here is, beyond me. That aside, its cozy, dark, and an odd odor permeates the place... similar to... decay?
[22:09] <Strategist14> Your room is filled with a set of four machines.
[22:10] <Strategist14> A lathe, a wheeled tube, a platform, and a keyboard.
[22:10] <smileyFrown> SF: What're these!?
[22:11] <coolGuy> These are your alchemy machines.  They're your way into Sburb.
[22:12] <smileyFrown> Ah. I remember Sburb... it was something I was interested in, wasn't it...?
[22:12] <coolGuy> You never quite made it in.
[22:12] <coolGuy> We're fixing that, because I'm tired of circles that don't get finished.
[22:12] <coolGuy> Now take one of your capchalogue cards and bring it over to the punch designix - the keyboard.
[22:12] <coolGuy> Ugh captchalogue*
[22:13] <coolGuy> Type in "Guy2Cool", and let it punch the card.  Then put it into the lathe so it knows what to alchemize.
[22:14] <smileyFrown> ...................................................................................................................................................................... okay? (walks over to it, inserts card types in Guy2Cool, makes mental note to avoid this guy in the future)
[22:14] <Strategist14> Your captchalogue card is punched with a series of holes.
[22:15] <coolGuy> Now put it in the totem lathe and then open up the cruxtruder.  Spin the wheel.
[22:16] <smileyFrown> I will spin that wheel harder than you ever could. (I declare, lessening drowsiness and confusion)
[22:19] <Strategist14> The wheel spins, and out pops both a cerulean dowel, as well as a flashing green orb.
[22:19] <coolGuy> Dowel onto the lathe, card into the lathe.  Chop-chop, time is wasting.
[22:20] <Strategist14> The opened cruxtruder displays the time 00:00:00.  The meteors are long gone by now.
[22:20] <smileyFrown> Don't rush me, or i'll spen you next. (I growl at the keyboard as I type at it... When i find where he is...!)
[22:22] <coolGuy> I'm so scared.  I'm an immortal First Guardian, there's nothing you can do that could scare me.
[22:31] <smileyFrown> Except maybe prove your mortality the hard way!
[22:32] <coolGuy> Yeah, sure, whatever.  Just finish the sequence and then we can find out for ourselves.
[22:32] <coolGuy> Activaet the lathe.
[22:32] <coolGuy> Activate activate activate*
[22:34] <smileyFrown> Chanda stares at the lathe for a moment, pondering whether or not to 'activaet' it. Before doing so, of her own volition, she might add.
[22:35] <Strategist14> The lathe whirrs to life, quickly carving the dowel into a much less regular-shaped totem.
[22:35] <coolGuy> About time.
[22:35] <coolGuy> Now put that onto the last machine, the alchemiter.
[22:37] <smileyFrown> Slamming it hard on the Alchemiter's flattest surface, she turned to the computer, before typing, "Neeeext."
[22:38] <Strategist14> The alchemiter also whirrs to life, apparently a pattern here, and it produces... a holepunch?
[22:38] <coolGuy> Two steps.
[22:39] <coolGuy> First, throw this computer into the green ball.
[22:39] <coolGuy> Second, use the hole punch.
[22:39] <coolGuy> IN THAT ORDER.
[22:39] <coolGuy> Then everything will be perfect.
[22:39] <smileyFrown> Chanda proceedes to throw the computer in the ball. Not even slightly in awe at the effect, before grabbing the hole punch and trying to punch a hole in the green ball.
[22:43] <Strategist14> You prototype your computer.  The resulting Coolsprite loudly declares "Hello world!", followed shortly by ducking out of the way of your wild holepunching attempt.
[22:44] <Coolsprite> "Not me, you idiot!  Just push down and use it like normal, how complicated is that!?"
[22:45] <smileyFrown> "Now I REALLY wanna punch a hole in you. With my FIST!" Chanda declares, swinging at him/it
[22:45] * Coolsprite avoids you yet again.
[22:45] <Coolsprite> "Use the punch.  Then we can settle our differences."
[22:46] <smileyFrown> *click* Chanda 'declares' angrily with the holepunch
[22:47] <Strategist14> With a flash of light, you complete your entry into LOSAC.
[22:47] <Strategist14> Welcome, Chanda, to the Land of Sparks and Caution.
[22:48] <smileyFrown> CAUTION MY ***! (chanda shouts at the sky)
