Maddox and Carmen arrive in LOBAS and prototype

<ProcyonA> ok i dont feel like impeding you for no reason, so you guys get to carmen's land unharmed
* Carmen_Chapman hops through the gate, looking around for MaddoX
* Maddox steps out into the upper floors of Carmen's house, turning around to wait for the others.
<ProcyonA> jay hops through without any problem as well
<ProcyonA> so yall are milling around
<Carmen_Chapman> "Well...."
<Carmen_Chapman> "This is my place I guess"
* Carmen_Chapman laughs
<Carmen_Chapman> "A sorta copy n paste stuff that MaddoX did aXually!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "The log cabins not really a bajillion floors tall!!!"
<ProcyonA> Jay had not noticed
<ProcyonA> "A what?"
<ProcyonA> he goes over to the window and pales a bit
<ProcyonA> "How the... how"
* Carmen_Chapman shrugs
<Carmen_Chapman> "Fuck if I know!!!"
<ProcyonA> "how is this not falling over"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Same ways ur house isnt fallin over when MaddoX built it higher"
<ProcyonA> he nods approvingly, starting to accept all the bullshit his new universe allows
<Carmen_Chapman> "Some fuckin magic game shit or somethin"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Guess when u aXually look out the window it is kinda freaky!"
* Carmen_Chapman awes at the view out the window
<Carmen_Chapman> "I wonder if I got enough grist to build it higher???"
* Maddox also looks out the window, enjoying the view.
<Maddox> "Probably. We killed that giant rock-eating crab."
* Carmen_Chapman heads downstairs
* Maddox follows
<ProcyonA> jay follows
<Carmen_Chapman> "Why dontchu pull out ur laptop when we get down n check?"
<Maddox> "Sounds like a plan!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Maybe we can get up to the neXt gate n unlock someplace cool or somethin!!!"
* Maddox , upon arrival on the first floor, sets his laptop up on the kitchen table.
* Maddox pulls up Carmen's house on SBURB
* Carmen_Chapman goes to the kitchen to grab some beef jerky, eating it while messing around at the alchemiter
* Carmen_Chapman maXe the Modular Kevlar Armor
<Carmen_Chapman> Sweet!!!
<ProcyonA> the jerky is great
<Carmen_Chapman> * in quotes
<Carmen_Chapman> "Oh shit I just used a buncha grist"
* Carmen_Chapman facepalms
<Carmen_Chapman> "Fuckin shit"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Well uhhhh"
<Carmen_Chapman> "How much do I have left?"
<Carmen_Chapman> ((there's 506 build))
<Maddox> ((How much did we settle on for the third gate? 300?))
<Carmen_Chapman> ((we said 350))
<Maddox> "Looks like we can get your house up to the third portal."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Sweeeeeet!!!!"
* Carmen_Chapman dons her new armor to try it out
<Carmen_Chapman> "Go for it dude!"
<ProcyonA> ya look great
<Carmen_Chapman> "Use ur smart skills to make it sturdy!"
<Maddox> I continue to build up Carmen's house, being a bit more careful this time to not lose structural stability.
* Carmen_Chapman walX over to Jay while MaddoX worX
<Carmen_Chapman> "Damn this is kinda weird..."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Not used to havin guests here"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dunno what to do I feel like I should kinda show u around or give you some food or somethin"
<ProcyonA> ((house?))
<Carmen_Chapman> Here I'll paste the house description from one of our first IRCs
<Carmen_Chapman> Two floor log cabin with with iron and concrete inside the walls so it basically only looks like a log cabin. The first floor has a living room with a rather tattered couch and a table, there’s a kitchen that seems equally old and beat up but pretty typically stocked, and there is a large conference room on the first floor that is much nicer than the rest of the house. It has a large mahogany long table i
<Carmen_Chapman> n the center with lots of chairs. There's a really nice bathroom on the first floor right next to the conference room too, but the second floor is just two bedrooms and a small cramped bathroom. Carmen's room is at the end of the hall on the second floor, and her dad's (used to share it with mom) room is right at the top of the stairs. Despite the rather unkempt appearance the conference room and first floor
<Carmen_Chapman> bathroom are pretty well kept to impress guests. There are also tons and tons of security cameras everywhere and several gun turrets in the conference room and near the windows and doors on the first floor. There is a cellar but it is primarily emergency shelter with supplies, and her dad's internal server setup that's not connected to the external internet at all. It's almost like all the money that should
<Carmen_Chapman> have gone into keeping up the house instead went into overboard defense stuff.
<ProcyonA> thank ya
<Carmen_Chapman> "So uhhh this is the living room"
<ProcyonA> "are those..."
<ProcyonA> "Guns?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Got a shitty couch here an--"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Oh"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Fuck this is kinda awkward"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I swear Im not a psycho or anythin"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Like uhhh not too much of a psycho I dunno ask MaddoX"
<Carmen_Chapman> "The guns are my dads"
<ProcyonA> "no, no its fine i guess"
* Maddox gives a thumbs up while working the trackpad
<ProcyonA> "What... does your dad do?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "He ran away after we got here in the game said he had to go do some important things I dunno where the fuck he is now"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Back on Earth uhhh"
<Carmen_Chapman> "He bought and sold stuff to people"
<Carmen_Chapman> "yeeeah"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Guns were one of em but also other stuff like some stuff I made"
<Carmen_Chapman> "He kinda made me make em sometimes but thats a whole nother thingy"
<ProcyonA> "stuff"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Hes super fuckin paranoid n maXe a bunch a enemies"
<ProcyonA> "are we talking illicit substances"
<Carmen_Chapman> "...."
<Carmen_Chapman> "What?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Whered u get that idea?"
* Maddox remains VERY BUSY working that trackpad.
<ProcyonA> "Soryr i watched a lot of breaking bad before this"
<ProcyonA> "nevremind not important"
<Carmen_Chapman> "S okay"
<Carmen_Chapman> "My dad got a good deal on some stuff one time n made some competitors p pissed so my mom got shot a while back"
* Maddox calms down a bit, and finishes building up the house.
<Carmen_Chapman> "Ever since then theres been a fuckton of guns round the house"
* Maddox closes his laptop, and swivels to face the other two.
<Carmen_Chapman> "Theres this living room here, n the kitchen over there"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Got the bathroom by the stairs n upstairs are the bedrooms"
<ProcyonA> jay is just silent
<ProcyonA> he nods a bit
<ProcyonA> hes red
<Carmen_Chapman> "U can use the bed in the big bedroom up there if u wanna sleep nobodys usin it anymore"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Dont go into the other bedroom thats mine n dont go in the basement"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Help urself to food or whatever I guess?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dunno how to host peeps sorry"
<ProcyonA> "thanks no youre doin... great"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Ull get used to the sweet beat soon enough!"
<ProcyonA> he goes to the kitchen
* Carmen_Chapman bounces a bit with the beat
<ProcyonA> now that he notices it he kind of does a head shake in confusion
<ProcyonA> "is thgat a normal thing?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "It is here on this planet place!!!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Isnt it sweet????"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Its like a dance party all the fuckin time!!"
* Carmen_Chapman grins
<Carmen_Chapman> "Theres a circus n a little village just down the hill too!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "P sweet weather all the time too"
<Carmen_Chapman> ((incoming land description from entry))
<Carmen_Chapman> A majestic sky, tinted slightly pink, covers a wide landscape of hills and plains. Below the hill your house is on is a massive circus. The air is pleasant and fills you with a tropical vibe. In the distance you hear some base heavy music beating catchily, causing you to tap your foot to the beat. Upon further inspection you can see lots of mountains with caves, a forest, a desert, and all sorts of biomes. A
<Carmen_Chapman> smell of not quite ripe peaches fills your nose as you gaze at the ruddy red grass.
<ProcyonA> "a circus..."
<ProcyonA> "cool. cool cool."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Way fuckin less dangerous than MaddoX's planet!!!"
<ProcyonA> "Yeah, maybe i should live here"
<Carmen_Chapman> "A buncha wood siding and some turrets outside got beatup from this one ogre dude but no other monsters here at the house!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Theres concrete in the walls so nothins gonna be breakin in soon"
<Maddox> "In general, its just better here."
* Carmen_Chapman grins
<ProcyonA> "Dang, son you got the short end"
<ProcyonA> HE pops open a window and you can smell things
<ProcyonA> "Wow"
* Maddox faces Carmen
<Maddox> "I finished building."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Sweet!"
<ProcyonA> "awesome what now"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Either of u seen a big flashy green thing floatin around?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "We gotta pick somethin to throw in it!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Ever since MaddoXs started talkin I been wantin to get mine to talk too!!!"
<ProcyonA> It, as if on cue, appears at the stairs
<Carmen_Chapman> "Oh shit there it is"
<Carmen_Chapman> "All its been doin is goin everywhere causin trouble!"
<Maddox> ((Oh yeah, its drugssprite btw. Jay might notice lol))
<ProcyonA> ((hes not going to mention lol))
<Carmen_Chapman> "Dude MaddoX"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Whatever u throw in like the thingy become that n then it talX right???"
<Carmen_Chapman> *becomes
<Maddox> "That's what happened just now at my place."
<Maddox> "So, probably?"
<Maddox> "Unless the game's manual coding is even worse than we thought."
<Carmen_Chapman> "What if..."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Shit this is probs gonna sound kinda weird"
<Carmen_Chapman> "But just listen okay!!!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "What if..... we put my mom in there?"
<Maddox> "..."
<Maddox> "You... oh boy."
<ProcyonA> "Your mother's... body?"
<Maddox> "You have her casket somewhere?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Then she could talk again and it'd be like she was back!"
<ProcyonA> "I Dont think thats a good idea"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Shes.... in the backyard"
<Maddox> "I mean, we could try? It would be... very scientific."
<ProcyonA> Jay crosses himself, even if his not religious
<Carmen_Chapman> "I know its kinda weird sounding... but wouldnt it be great?"
<Maddox> "Its just that messing with the dead is usually evil."
<Carmen_Chapman> "..."
<Carmen_Chapman> "U don't think it would bring her back?"
<ProcyonA> "Carmen... i think she's gone for good"
* Carmen_Chapman sits down on the couch
<Carmen_Chapman> "Why though?"
<Maddox> "It might bring something like her back... it just might not end well."
<Carmen_Chapman> "I want her back so bad..."
<Carmen_Chapman> "And heres the chance to change that!!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "S not every day u get magic game shit that lets anythin talk!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "...."
<Carmen_Chapman> "I...."
* Carmen_Chapman pauses to think about what MaddoX said
<ProcyonA> Jay grinds his teeth
<ProcyonA> "If its what you want"
* Carmen_Chapman furrows her brow as she tries to imagine what might "not end well"
<Maddox> "We can try. Worst case, the game version of her isn't accurate and it feels wrong."
<Carmen_Chapman> "What if...."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Thatd suck though!!!"
<Maddox> "Exactly!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dont want some fucked up zombie mom floatin around!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I want it to bring her back!!!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Just like she was before"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Thats what peeps been saying round this planet all over"
<ProcyonA> jay offers no guidance
<Carmen_Chapman> "Just follow ur heart n believe in urself"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Im tryin to do that right now n thats what I want!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I think I might just die if it doesnt work though"
<Carmen_Chapman> "What if she combines with the shit already in there???"
<Carmen_Chapman> "My mom wasnt bout that stuff n then Id ruin her!"
<Maddox> "That's... a good point. Hm."
* Carmen_Chapman clenches her fists, shaking slightly
<Carmen_Chapman> "Were so close just gotta do it!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dont think I could live with myself if...."
<Maddox> "Hm. Do you have anything that would counter those effects?"
<Maddox> "Or maybe we could craft something like that?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dunno!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I could try I guess"
<ProcyonA> ((if ive learned anything from rick and morty...))
<Carmen_Chapman> ((lololol))
<Carmen_Chapman> "What if u cant throw more than one thing in???"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Did u try adding something else to ur wooden fork thingy?"
<Maddox> "If something's in someone's bloodstream, does it not count as them?
<Maddox> "Hm."
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dunno"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Shit like that wears off"
* Carmen_Chapman stomps a bit in frustration, sniffing to try and hold back tears
<Carmen_Chapman> "Dammit!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Whys this gotta be so shitty???"
<ProcyonA> "hey, uh what if we added... narcan?"
<Maddox> "Narcan?"
<ProcyonA> "thats the drug stuff right"
<ProcyonA> he looks it up really quick
<ProcyonA> https://www.google.com/search?q=narcan&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS751US751&oq=narcan&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i61j0l2j35i39j0.496j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
<ProcyonA> "it fixes... narcotics overdoses"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dont fuckin know!!!"
<ProcyonA> "these have a lot of side effects..."
<Carmen_Chapman> "What if it doesnt work???"
<Carmen_Chapman> "What then????"
* Maddox remains silent.
<Carmen_Chapman> "How m I sposed to do anything with a fuckin high zombie mom ghost!"
* Carmen_Chapman puts her head in her hands
<Carmen_Chapman> "AUGH!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "S like this game is just fuckin taunting me!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Like things are sposed to look all fuckin happy n perfect here"
<ProcyonA> "i think thats right"
<Carmen_Chapman> "But everything is just as shitty as always"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Just fucked up Carmen n her fuckin dad bein sad in the woods"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I.... dont think I can put my mom in there"
* Maddox nods
<Carmen_Chapman> "fuck there I said it"
<Carmen_Chapman> "shitty fuckin game"
* Carmen_Chapman looX up wards at the sky at nothing in particular, shaking her fist in frustration
<Carmen_Chapman> "U HAPPY NOW???"
* Carmen_Chapman sighs
<Carmen_Chapman> "...."
<ProcyonA> Jay stays silent awkwardly
* Carmen_Chapman puts her head in her hands
<Carmen_Chapman> "Ughhhhh"
<Carmen_Chapman> "sorry bout bein a fuckin mess"
<Carmen_Chapman> "id say im not like this usually but i kinda am"
<Carmen_Chapman> "so much for first impressions"
<Maddox> "It's alright. Not like we haven't dealt with this sorta thing every day for the last... however long its been."
* Carmen_Chapman sighs
<Carmen_Chapman> "yeahhhhh..."
* Carmen_Chapman sits quietly for a bit, trying to calm down
* Maddox sits next to her, storing his laptop away completely.
* Carmen_Chapman notices him sitting down and gives him a weak smile
<ProcyonA> Jay lets you two have soem space
<Carmen_Chapman> "im a fuckin disaster"
<Carmen_Chapman> "ur dad probably thinX im crazy now"
<Maddox> "Maybe."
<ProcyonA> "Im gonna... go a bit"
<ProcyonA> he dashes upstairs
<Maddox> "You're not the only disaster though. I'm stuck sort of bottling things up right now."
<Maddox> "I really hope that doesn't come back to bite us."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Hmm?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Whaddya mean?"
<Maddox> "We've lost so much. Still not thinking about it. Still not thinking about things I've failed at. Things we've failed at. Times we almost let each other die."
<Carmen_Chapman> "..."
<Maddox> "The fact that there are under five confirmed living humans anywhere."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Why do u think ur bottlin it up?"
<Maddox> "Because I don't want to break down useless for however long it takes."
<Maddox> "We need to keep moving. Something's gotta be up with this game."
* Carmen_Chapman sighs
<Carmen_Chapman> "Yeah...."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Ur right"
* Carmen_Chapman taXe a couple deep breaths
<Carmen_Chapman> "Gotta get it together"
<Carmen_Chapman> "fuck"
<ProcyonA> You head a bang from upstairs, like a gun firing
* Carmen_Chapman looX down at her tremoring hands
* Carmen_Chapman jumps in surprise
<ProcyonA> Jay shouts down "SORRY! Ignore that!"
* Carmen_Chapman relaxes her aggressive stance
<Carmen_Chapman> "Oh geez...."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Im used to that sound bein.... never mind"
<Carmen_Chapman> "We got shit to do"
* Maddox lets out a breath as well.
<Maddox> "WHAT ON EARTH DAD!"
<ProcyonA> He comes down the stairs shaking as well
<Carmen_Chapman> "U okay???"
<ProcyonA> he shows a taken apart gun fromt he confrence room
<ProcyonA> "Its ok"
<ProcyonA> "Sorry get back to it"
<ProcyonA> he goes back up
<Carmen_Chapman> "S okay were done"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Gotta put somethin else in this fuckin green thing"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Hmmmm"
* Maddox whispers to Carmen, "We... should probably put most of your guns away."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Somethin cool not borin like a rock or somethin"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Yeah...."
* Carmen_Chapman whispers to MaddoX "I can lock em in the cellar later"
* Maddox 's eyes light up
<Maddox> "I just remembered."
<Carmen_Chapman> "NOT a fuckin gun"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Not puttin that in"
<Carmen_Chapman> "U better not have thought of puttin a gun in there"
<Maddox> "Orea put a pet owl in hers, and it talked. Had the traits of the owl."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Really???"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I got a pet!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "...sorta"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Come here!"
* Carmen_Chapman waves MaddoX to follow her and heads into the conference room
* Carmen_Chapman points at what looks like a stuffed albino deer in the corner
<Carmen_Chapman> "I named her Bambimom!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Talked to her a bunch when I was little I dunno why"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Always kinda felt a sorta odd kinda friendship with her"
<Maddox> "Huh. Lets try that!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "My mom said they found her already dead on the ground when they found me in the forest"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Yeah!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Its like throwin my mom in but... not really!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "If it goes all funky Im p sure Im not gonna freak out or anythin since its a deer"
* Carmen_Chapman hops on top of the conference room table to crawl across it to get to the deer
<Carmen_Chapman> "Wanna help me carry this thing over?"
<Maddox> "Sure."
* Maddox crosses as well, assisting both phsysically and telekinetically (cantrip)
* Carmen_Chapman tries to heft it up and navigate it out of the room
<Carmen_Chapman> ((do we get it out into the living room?))
<ProcyonA> youve got no problem hauling a stuffed deer around
<ProcyonA> lol same second
<ProcyonA> but yeah
<Carmen_Chapman> "Wheres the flashy thingy?"
<Maddox> "Ugh. Did it run?"
<ProcyonA> its in the bathroom
<Carmen_Chapman> "Dammit"
* Carmen_Chapman moves it towards the bathroom with MaddoX
<ProcyonA> the deer wont fit
<ProcyonA> the orb is, eventually, coaxed out
<Carmen_Chapman> "Lets try n throw this in before it gets away!"
<ProcyonA> lol roll dex
<Maddox> !roll 1d20 dex
<Tyche[Dice]> (1d20) [10] : {10}
<Carmen_Chapman> !roll 1d20 dex
<Tyche[Dice]> (1d20) [16] : {16}
<ProcyonA> i forgot youre good
<ProcyonA> you toss it in, and in a flash of light, a deer appears
<Carmen_Chapman> :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
<ProcyonA> It stands and looks at you, gracefully.
<ProcyonA> Then it slips and starts stumbling around and bashes into a table.
* Maddox watches in interest.
<ProcyonA> it rights itself and, very clearly, says, "fuuuuck"
* Carmen_Chapman bursts out laughing at the ridiculous scene
<ProcyonA> "man what..."
<ProcyonA> The deer kind of falls overon i ts side"
<ProcyonA> "shit"
<Carmen_Chapman> "....Bambimom?"
<Maddox> "Okay. Bad news is, the first thing kinda affects it."
<Carmen_Chapman> "U okay there?"
* Maddox then mutters, "good news is, it's not your mom, I guess."
<Maddox> ((This could be interesting... it might remember pre-crash Carmen lol))
<ProcyonA> "I'm feeling very..."
<ProcyonA> "what is happening"
<ProcyonA> "why am i feeling floaty and off balance"
<ProcyonA> it focuses its eyes
<ProcyonA> "carmen?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Cuz ur floatin?"
<Maddox> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R14KxTtf4Y3mOXlEuOxb1IUsJ3_WIbm3iDH13ssxZIY/edit
<Maddox> Might be worth reviewing this.
<ProcyonA> yes mom
<Carmen_Chapman> hahaha
<Maddox> lol.
<ProcyonA> The thing is, it should be floating, but it isnt
<ProcyonA> The fork, the drugs, everything floated
<ProcyonA> But not bambidrugmom
<Maddox> 90% sure Carmen had a different troll name, and she was a "terraformer" in timeline A
<Maddox> bambimom might remember.
<Maddox> ((#2YearOldLore))
<Carmen_Chapman> ((I never thought this would be relevant hahaha))
<Carmen_Chapman> ((Carzin Kirvis is what I have here))
<Carmen_Chapman> ((it's from arabic and czech I think and it means axe chain maiden or something I don't remember hahaha))
<ProcyonA> ah 2015
<Maddox> ((Terraforming is a gentle word as troll terraforming usually involved completely destroying the existing environment and occupants to be overwritten by troll society and native creatures))
<ProcyonA> such innocence
<Maddox> haHAAAA genocide.
<Maddox> Things to keep in mind :P
<ProcyonA> carmens mom is a fan of nature tho
<ProcyonA> or at least carmen was
<Maddox> Yeah. Different person now.
<ProcyonA> "carzin?"
<Maddox> But it's amazingly ironic.
<Carmen_Chapman> ((The terraforming and expeditions all the adult troll stuff the gang did translated into dreams of being a pioneer and stuff and liking the outdoors, but being raised by humans who lived in nature she's not as destructive though still is somewhat hehe))
<Carmen_Chapman> "What?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Yeah Im Carmen"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Ur a deer"
<ProcyonA> "carzin"
<Carmen_Chapman> "This is MaddoX"
<ProcyonA> "You... you werte carzin
<Carmen_Chapman> "Huh?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "No my names Carmen"
<Carmen_Chapman> "S ur name Carzin?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I kinda named u Bambimom when u were dead oops"
* Maddox waves
<Carmen_Chapman> *names
<Carmen_Chapman> "This is MaddoX"
<ProcyonA> "My name isnt carzin yours is..."
<ProcyonA> "right? fucj..."
<Carmen_Chapman> "What?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "How do you even know what my name is?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Ur a deer my parents found neXt to little me in the forest"
<ProcyonA> "No, I'm your lusus"
<Maddox> "I think you're high."
<Carmen_Chapman> "What the what?"
<Maddox> "Lusus?... That's a troll thing, right?"
<ProcyonA> "teah shit its a troll thing"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Oh yeah Mobius has like a bird or somethin"
<Carmen_Chapman> "What????"
<Carmen_Chapman> "How are u my lusus?????"
<ProcyonA> "what"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Are u sayin all the troll stuff bout spaceships n other planets and a crash are all true????"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I thought all that shit was just kinda bullshit but cool I guess cuz other trolls Xist n stuff"
<Maddox> ((Bambimom did survive the crash and raise re-baby Carmen for a bit after the crash))
<ProcyonA> "Yeah of course..."
<ProcyonA> "Wait how... how did oyu live?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Fuck if I know!"
* Maddox sits down, watching all this go down, surprised at the development.
<Carmen_Chapman> "If all that crash shit is true I was just a lil baby or somethin in the forest"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I remember shit"
<ProcyonA> Your dad comes down now
<ProcyonA> "Hey i figured out how to shoot..."
<ProcyonA> "Is that a glowing blue deer"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Dont worry this shit maXe less sense to me than it does to u"
<Maddox> "Yes. It's also... sort of Carmen's mom? Kind of? I don't get it."
<ProcyonA> "What is a mom?"
<ProcyonA> "What is a sort of mom"
<ProcyonA> ((stars are now lusus))
<Maddox> "Uh, I guess Guardian would more accurate."
<ProcyonA> "*guardian?*"
<Maddox> "Your job to raise her or something? I dunno. I had like ONE conversation about this."
<ProcyonA> *Yeah  it was my job who else would*
<Carmen_Chapman> "Wait u raised me or somethin?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I totes grew up here in this house"
<Carmen_Chapman> "U sayin u took care of me in the forest or somethin?"
<Maddox> "That would explain a lot, actually."
<ProcyonA> "i wouldve if i..."
<ProcyonA> "how did i die"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dunno I was too little"
<Carmen_Chapman> "My parents said u were shot"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Probs by hunters or something"
<ProcyonA> "shit"
<ProcyonA> sorry all those were ****
<Carmen_Chapman> "U were alive in the forest with me before?"
<ProcyonA> *i was your lusus, i kept you alive and fed!8
<Carmen_Chapman> "Wow"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Thats soooo cool!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "ThanX I guess?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Damn"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I probs gotta start takin all that troll stuff n stories they've been tellin me more seriously"
<Maddox> "Yeah."
<ProcyonA> *why havent you... been*
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dunno it all sounded so fuckin crazy!!!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Like yeah itd be sweet to be a space alien or somethin"
<Carmen_Chapman> "But like just cuz some rando internet stranger creeps on u n stalX u n tells u ur a time traveling alien u dont just believe that kinda stuff!!!"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I always kinda wanted it to be true though...."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Thats so Xiting!!!"
<ProcyonA> *look at these pale assholes*
<ProcyonA> *youre grey*
<Maddox> "Hey."
<ProcyonA> *sorry i dont know what im feeling right now*
<Maddox> "It's alright."
<Maddox> "So, you're a manual now as well?"
<ProcyonA> *i... oh yeah i gfuess*
<ProcyonA> *i ahve some knowlege but i cant really make some... riddles*
<ProcyonA> *i think im supposed to*
<Carmen_Chapman> "Lol the fuck???"
* Carmen_Chapman laughs again*
<ProcyonA> *i...m pretty sure... riddles*
<ProcyonA> *im givin those out? I think*
<Carmen_Chapman> "Oooooor u could like"
<Carmen_Chapman> "not"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Riddles are confusin"
<ProcyonA> *I guess?
<Maddox> "I don't know who decided that vague manuals were a good idea, while also being smart enough to make this happen."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Yeah like"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Whered this game even come from????"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Seems p sketchy to me!!!"
<ProcyonA> *i dont know that actyually*
* Maddox shakes his head
* Carmen_Chapman shrugs
<Carmen_Chapman> "Whatevs seems like kinda a shitty manual that doesnt say who made it"
<Carmen_Chapman> "This whole fuckin mess is p shitty though"
<Carmen_Chapman> "So like whats the scoop then?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Whatre we sposed to be doin?"

<Carmen_Chapman> "Oh"

<Carmen_Chapman> "ThanX"
<Maddox> *Yeah. That would have turned out awkward.*
<ProcyonDM> She licks some out of the bowl using just her tongue
<ProcyonDM> Like a cat
<Carmen_Chapman> "Soooooooo"
<Maddox> "Guess we need to go back to that farm place. Kill that monster"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Maybe its still all run away n stuff thatd be chill"
<ProcyonDM> "Wait wait wait. The glowing deer didn't say anything about any killing
<Carmen_Chapman> "Theres like p much not a lot of monsters here"
<Carmen_Chapman> "But theres a couple n we saw some last time we were at that boring lizards farm"
<Carmen_Chapman> "We killed most of em last time but one got away"
<Maddox> "Yeah. They might be gone now actually."
<Maddox> "I guess we should just go ask that lizard about this then."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Yeah p much"
* Carmen_Chapman turns to MaddoX's dad
<Carmen_Chapman> "U cool with takin care of my... mom?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I guess that kinda what she is"
<ProcyonDM> "That's the deer?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Time travel shenanigans"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Its a long story"
<Maddox> "I kinda want to hear about this later as well. If you know anything about it."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Shes kinda like my alien mom"
<Maddox> "I think mobius mentioned something like that."
<Carmen_Chapman> "Yeah I can tell u some stuff I guess"
<ProcyonDM> "Yeah sure I'll give it a try"
<ProcyonDM> *im just going to try to sober up a bit*
<Carmen_Chapman> "Dont really remember much other than some dreams n what the other trollsve been tellin me"
<Carmen_Chapman> "ThanX dude. We also got all that security shit round here too thats broken and WHACK."
<Carmen_Chapman> "I still got that computer u gave me too!"
<Maddox> "This is kind of crazy, but if you could figure out how to get defenses working, this place could make a really good point of defense. But there aren't a lot of monsters around here anyway."
<ProcyonDM> "I can probably whip something up depending on how simple it is"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Sweet"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Come here Ill show u some stuff then"
* Carmen_Chapman hops up, heading into the conference room on the first floor
* Carmen_Chapman points to a box installed on the wall
* Maddox follows along with his dad
<ProcyonDM> "Is that a gun"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Thats like the control boX or some shit for the turrets inside there"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I can unlock it for u"
* Carmen_Chapman unloX the boX with a key on her keychain
<Carmen_Chapman> "Those little sphere thingies in the corners by the ceiling n outside are the turrets"
<Carmen_Chapman> "A bunchav em outside got broken"
<Carmen_Chapman> "The alarm shits in the basement but Idk if it needs any fiXin"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Dont go in the basement"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Should be locked anyways"
<ProcyonA> "Whats in the basement?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Private stuff"
<ProcyonA> "Got it."
<Carmen_Chapman> ((that basement is her dad's storage place, so it has a bunch of unscrupulous items))
<Carmen_Chapman> ((the computer down there controls the alarm system, but it's also used to monitor the house and surroundings and has a database of all her dad's records, dossiers, and files))
<Carmen_Chapman> "U like.... need any parts or anythin?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "I dunno what we got"
<ProcyonA> "I think itll mostly be computer stuff, but a toolbox wouldnt hurt."
<ProcyonA> well say that you two get all the neccesary shit to start fixing stuff
<Carmen_Chapman> ((cool))
<Carmen_Chapman> "Thats it Im p sure"
<ProcyonA> "i'll get to work."
<ProcyonA> "please, be safe."
<ProcyonA> "ive come to terms with not beign able to protect you, but... please"
<Maddox> "We will."
* Carmen_Chapman nods
<ProcyonA> He hugs maddox
* Maddox hugs back
<Carmen_Chapman> "Ur protectin us here"
<Carmen_Chapman> "We need Bambimom n a place s got no monsters"
<Carmen_Chapman> "With alchemy shit n ur haXXer skills dude we could make a serious fort!!!"
<ProcyonA> He does a cheesy salute
<ProcyonA> "Ill do my best"
* Carmen_Chapman laughs
* Carmen_Chapman salutes back Xaggeratedly
* Maddox nods
<Maddox> "Well, to the portal."
<Maddox> "We've got questions for the Lizard of Odd
<Carmen_Chapman> "Yeppers"
* Maddox heads to the first gate
* Carmen_Chapman follows
<ProcyonA> ==>
<Maddox> "So we go to the house where he is, and ask if he knows what we need to do. Then we go there, or head back here."
<Maddox> "Sound like a plan?"
<Carmen_Chapman> "Cool with me"
* Maddox goes through the portal
* Carmen_Chapman follows
