[S]Tikola: Enter

---
Tikola, your screen goes back to the main screen, "Server" greyed out.
Roda, your screen flickers, before switching to a view of Tikola in what seems to be some sort of lab.
@Tikola
HW: Roda you connected?
DM
There's a bunch of scientists and a dog. You're pretty sure that violates like a hundred lab codes.
Roda
AP: Yah. There's a guy, more guys. Oh! And a puppy! :)
DM
In addition, there's a menu at the top and you have a cursor you can move around and do shit with.
@Tikola
HW: Oh, I guess your viewing me? That's Banjo!
HW: Huh guess that makes sense...with the purpose of escaping and all
Roda
AP: This is you! Hi! Well, what's dumb. Hi Banjo!! Tell him I said hi
@Tikola
HW: Will do.
Tikola turns to his dog and pets him "Good boy, Roda says hello."
Roda
AP: Good!!! Now, what I do? There's an interface i think.
DM
He yips and jumps around, looking around for the said girl
Too bad she's in like a different country
@Tikola
HW: Interface? Click around and see what you can do.
Roda
AP: Roda clicks around. She clicks on the puppy!!
DM
Banjo flinches, before running around excitedly, trying to figure out what just tickled him
@Tikola
HW: Are you doing something? banjo is getting really excited
Roda
AP: I clicked him!! Yay!
Roda clicks on the first button on the menu
@Tikola
HW: Huh so you can poke things in real life. Cool!
DM
You click on the option called Move.
Your cursor changes slightly.
Roda
Roda tries to move something. She clicks on a piece of Lab Equipment
DM
It starts hovering
@Tikola
Tikola raises an eyebrow as he turns around and sees the lab equipment "Oh boy...mom is gonna grill me later"
DM
All the scientists immediately turn to look at it, eyes wide, before conferring with eachother about what this means.
Roda
AP: Are you seeing this? Haha!
@Tikola
HW: Yup I'm seeing it, as is everyone else. This program is really cool
Roda
AP: It is! I have all the power! I could straight up crush someone haha :)
AP: I would never
AP: But I could
@Tikola
HW: I dunno Roda, crushing somebody with cuddly plushs would seem like something you'd do
Roda
Roda tries a different menu option
DM
Roll an, uh, d6
Roda
6!
AP: I mean yah. They'd get rekt with fluffiness.
DM
You click the Alchemize button.
Unfortunately, the DM does not know what that does.
Try something else.
@Tikola
HW: And than they would have to do...a feels jam
Roda
AP: Haha
A 5
DM
That's the Athenaeum!
You open up a tab full of...
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Congratulations!
@Tikola
HW: Truly I have given you too much power
Roda
AP: Man, half of these buttons don't do anything
Roda tries the second button
@Tikola
HW: Seriously? That's kinda lame with how many things you can do so far
DM
You click Revise, and your cursor changes once more.
Roda
Roda clicks on the same piece of lab equipment earlier
DM
It does nothing. Perhaps you need to click on something else?
Roda
Roda clicks on a lab guy
@Tikola
HW: Whatcha doing now?
Roda
AP: Trying out all the buttons
@Tikola
HW: Do they have like labels?
DM
The lab guy does not respond either.
Roda
AP: I don't know. They have like, symbols
Roda tries the third one.
DM
They actually do
http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Sburb?file=Sburbtoolbar.png
Roda
(( Why are they outside the window?
DM
((who knows))
You click Deploy.
You are faced with four deployable machines, for no grist cost whatsoever!
The Cruxtruder, Totem Lathe, Alchemieter, and Punched Captchalogue Card
Roda
Oh. Roda doesn't know what that means, but it something.
She deploys the first somewhere with a lot of space
DM
There's not a lot of space in the building.
But you can fit them all in with some finesse
Roda
Hm. She just deploys it anywhere then
DM
((gotta eat dinner, brb))

Roll Sleight of Hand, Roda
Roda
1d20 (6) + 1 = 7
DM
You manage to place all but the Alchemiter inside, but you just can't get that to fit no matter how you fandangle it
@Tikola
Tikola blinks as he looks at the objects that appear "Huuuh...machines?"
DM
THE SCIENTISTS ARE SUFFICIENTLY CONFUZZLED.
@Tikola
Tikola grins "Don't worry mom, I got this." He looks at the two devices briefly, examining the Totem Lathe first before walking over to the cruxtruder. He climbs ontop to turn the wheel thing
DM
Roll Strength to do so.
@Tikola
!roll 1d20+2
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+2) [17+2] : {19}
DM
You tug on the wheel, a lot of resistance displaying before it opens with a POP, several red cylinders flying out as well as a red flashing orb.
The timer at the bottom turns on.
4:32
As this happens, you hear a shout from a scientist nearby.
@Tikola
"Oh now THAT is cool!"
DM
"HOLY SHIT WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?"
You have a feeling he's not talking about the machines.
@Tikola
"Where did what come from?!" Tikola picks up a cylinder
Roda
AP: Oh man what is all this?
DM
"Th-ther there's a- an, uh!!"
He takes a few deep breaths.
"Somehow a meteor managedtoget past all of oursecuritymeasures and now its headingstraightforus!!"
@Tikola
HW: Roda did you deploy everything
Roda
AP: There's one i can't fit! Tell the scientists to make room. Get some of them on tables and stuff!
@Tikola
Tikola's eyes widen, he clenches his fist "Okay...okay...you can do this, you can complete this...you can escape with everyone..."
"EVERYONE! WE NEED MORE ROOM FOR THE LAST MACHINE! I know this is rather absurd but we can escape by completing...whatever this is!" Tikola looks at the blinking thing as he grabs the punched card
DM
Roll Charisma, or Diplomacy if you have prof in that
@Tikola
!roll 1d20+1
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+1) [14+1] : {15}
DM
They look really confused but comply anyway.
Tables are moved, scientific shit is shoved into closets, room is made.
@Tikola
Tikola runs over to the totem lathe, looking at the two objects he has he slots them into there proper places
DM
4:03
You slot them both in.
@Tikola
He presses the button?
Roda
Roda deploys the Alchemeter now that space is made
DM
There's a whirring sound as the lathe gets to work, needle carving the dowel into a weird curvy shape.
@Tikola
HW: Okay Cylinder carved...uh...any idea on what to do with this flashing orb thing?
Roda
AP: Idk. Keep it there, don't let it do anything? This is your game!
DM
The flashing orb in question starts shaking violently.
@Tikola
HW: It's shaking pretty violently! Ugh if I had more time I could figure out what it was meant for.
Tikola looks at it "Uh...you want something? A pancake? A high five?"
DM
It continues shaking.
@Tikola
"Uuuuh...here...?" He takes out a dragon figurine and sorta waves it at him
at it*
DM
It shakes even more violently.
You feel like this method of communication is truly the best.
← Roda has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
@Tikola
"I shall take this as a yes!" he hurls it at the orb
DM
Roll Dexterity
@Tikola
Can't I use strength since throwing?
DM
Oh yeah sure

Roda
(( my bad
@Tikola
[It's okay]
DM
Your figurine misses completely.
The kernelsprite is disappointed.
Take one stack of feelsbadman.
This does nothing but remind you of your failure.
@Tikola
"Awww...uuh...jeez what else do I have here....?"
Roda
AP: Why are you throwing things at it?
AP: What does that solve?
@Tikola
HW: I dunno but it seems disappointed
Roda
AP: Aw. Make it feel better. Let it pet the dog!!
@Tikola
HW: I dunno...I mean I don't want banjo to touch something I don't know wht it does
Roda
AP: True. Don't want doggo to receive like... A shock
DM
Also it might be of note that you're now at 2:30
@Tikola
HW: Shit timer!
Tikola runs over and puts the carved totem on the small platform
Roda
AP: THROW THE TIMER AT IT
@Tikola
He than fumbles around his syalldex for a moment
!roll 1d20
Tyche[Dice]

He pulls out an Ezra scarlet firgurian "Okay...this can't possibly end badly."
He hurls it at the orb
DM

DM
It makes contact with the orb, and there's a flash before the orb takes on the visage of one Erza Scarlet.
Welp.
Roda
AP: WOAH. IT ATE YOUR BOY
@Tikola
"....cool!" Tikola than looks back to the last machine to see if its doing anything with the carved totem
HW: Uuuh Erza is a girl
Roda
AP: IT /IS/ THE ANIME NOW
DM
It is not. Maybe you should press the button?
@Tikola
He presses the button
Roda
AP: I'm too good for anime
DM
You hear scientists in the background bickering over what to do about the meteor.
@Tikola
HW: THE POWER OF ANNNIIIIMEEE!
DM
2:13
Roda
AP: I read books like a person
@Tikola
HW: What about Manga
Roda
AP: Fake.
DM
You click the button, and there's a flash on the platform.
@Tikola
HW: Nuh-uh
DM
When you look at it, there's a red clock on it. It's ticking towards 12:00, and is currently at 11:58 and 15 seconds.
I mean
11:57 and 45 seconds.
Yeah, that.
That might be a problem.
@Tikola
Tikola picks it up "Uh...ooooh fuck."
HW: We...might have a problem.
Roda
AP: What?
@Tikola
HW: Presuming this is the last step to escaping death by meteors...
HW: The timer on it is greater than the timer on that other machine
Roda
AP: Wind it up! Make it go faster!
DM
2:08, 2:10
@Tikola
He looks on the clock to see if there's a wind up feature of somekind or a way to make it tick faster
HW: think think think...gotta be something to make time go faster
DM
There is not.
@Tikola
HW: Wait...time?
DM
1:56, 1:58
@Tikola
"Eureka! That's it!" He looks at the two clocks "Okay...The Dragon said..."
Roda
AP: Yeah i think that's the topic at hand here!
@Tikola
HW: The Dragon said...
HW: Thief of Time...
HW: Steals from Time itself
Roda
AP: What.
@Tikola
HW: I'm going out on a limb here and honestly I don't got any other ideas
HW: But...I'm gonna steal from Time.
HW: or Try
DM
Roda, there's a small dark spark on your screen, before it zooms out to show the area around the house.
Above it, you can see a huge-ass meteor flying down from the sky.
Roda
Roda clicks on itt
@Tikola
Tikola looks at the two clocks and...well tries to do what that dragon said he can do, makes some werid motions to try
DM
Your cursor shakes around violently when you try to do that.
Tikola, nothing happens. You're not sure what's wrong!
1:43, 1;45
@Tikola
"Gaaaah! I don't know! How does one STEAL TIME?!"
Roda
RODA KEEPS CLICKING ON THE METEOR
CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK
DM
It's not working! Gah!
It zooms back in to Tikola. Closer than it was before
Roda
Oof. Clos
DM
1:32, 1:35
@Tikola
tikola is flailing in frustration trying to get this stupid clock to speed up
Roda
AP: Throw it on the ground! Break it!
@Tikola
HW: What.
Roda
AP: I don't know. Maybe there's something inside!
DM
Roda, directly after you send that message, you hear a raspy soft voice from behind you, like someone who's been deprived of water for too long.
"not... prince"
@Tikola
HW: I dunno! I don't think I'm supposed to destroy it!
Roda
Roda flails away from her desk and examines her room.
DM
There's nothing different in here.
@Tikola
Tikola flails as he looks out the window "How how how!!"
DM
Roll Perception, both of you.

Tikola, you notice what looks to be some green sparks flying across the grass outside
Roda, the entire room is tinged green. Not much, but a little.
@Tikola
"Green sparks?"
Roda
AP: Your whole business is green!
DM
No, like.
Your room.
Not Tikola's.
Roda
O
"...I'm sorry I played Prince after you told me not to..." Roda squeaks.
DM
You feel the facepalm.

@Tikola

Roda
She's wise not smart ok
DM
lmao
"...thief"
"........soul"
"....time"
@Tikola
"Aaaaaaaaaah!" Tikola tries to steal from the energy? Heck he has no clue!
DM
Do you go outside and like, touch the energy?
@Tikola
Sure
DM
Alright, you touch the energy, and feel an electric ZAP as it courses throughout your body.
Roda
AP: Where are you going? Stay inside!
DM
At the same time, a spark flies from seemingly nowhere, hitting Roda, and having much of a similar effect.
Roda, you can now see... what looks like a ghost image of Tikola right where his regular body would be.
@Tikola
"GAH!"
DM
It's buzzing with electricity/power.
Roda
Roda rubs her forehead.
DM
"...soul"
".....powers"
Roda
AP: What did you do? Is that your soul?
DM
0:23, 0:25
@Tikola
Tikola looks at himself...does it hurt
HW: My...soul?
DM
It does not.
In fact, you feel full of energy!
@Tikola
Tikola looks up at the meteor and back at the clock, he attempts to use this energy to make the clock go faster or stop the meteor...something!
DM
Roll Concentration!

DM
The meteor rushes ever closer, the heat pressing down on you.
You reach out with... what feels like your soul, reaching towards the clock.
When you touch it, suddenly you're struck with the notion that it's full of this red blobby substance.
You take some.
0:14, 0:15
Roda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ > "Come on! I believe in you!"
DM
And some more.
0:12, 0:12
And some more.
0:10, 0:8
@Tikola
He keeps taking it as much as he can, can he use it on himself to speed himself up and take more at a faster rate?
DM
And then your reservoir of energy runs out, and you slump down, exhausted.
That's a lot harder than you thought it would be.
But it was enough.

Tikola leans against the wall of the lab, looking at the time "...just...enough..."
DM
The meteor rushes towards the house, nearly making contact, when...
0:2, 0:0
There's a flash of light.
Roda, your screen turns completely white.
".....good"
Tikola, when the light fades, you're still in your lab.
But the meteor's gone.
You're not entirely sure what just happened.
@Tikola
You really aren't...but you wearily step back inside, is everyone okay?
DM
Everyone's okay, but...
Looking out the window, you see that you're in a completely different place.
@Tikola
He looks outside...what does it look like?
Roda
AP: Tikola
AP: Tikola Where are you
DM
A large hilly landscape, large towers of wire and steel reaching up towards the heavens, bright green things at the top of them. Along the landscape are what look like giant batteries, each full of a green glowing substance, connected to eachother and the towers via wires embedded in the ground. Little flickers of fire course through the air, and s
pouts of fire erupt from the ground sporadically. Everything's illuminated in a green glow from above, adding to the heat.
Welcome to the Land of Batteries and Inferno.
