>Cool Guy: Remind GM that dangers of his character's universe are behind a fourth wall.
You made do what you like to my alternate self, but I'm still here behind this little glass window wall thingie.
Now while I could care less what you do to my character, for his sake, lets not try to kill him yet as to not ruin the story.
>Connor: Observe the crippled ogre.
You really did a number on him, your not even sure he can walk. You think you should put the poor bastard out of his misery, but that won't be very nice ether. You think finishing him off is the right answer. You come up closer to him and beat the shit of his legs some more until he falls over, then you smash his head in.
In the game of chess, one must never let their opponent see their pieces. And as it happens, you were one step ahead of those imps. Bullseye.
Now to lead TEAM ALDIRK through the next door and stride into the boss room like it ain't a thing. You get back to hauling your KEY around, scraping the ground like a character from one of DIRK's GIRL CARTOONS.
>Greg: The friendly SALAMANDER says that you can feel free to take a nap anywhere in the area. Sure, it might not be comfortable, but you'll be alerted to enemy attacks by the panicked screams of the SALAMANDERS.
Or, he adds, you could try out that weird blue spirograph floating just beneath the Third Gate. He has no idea where it goes, but its probably somewhere interesting.
>Xavier: So, you head EAST? Heading that direction leads you back to the room you just left, with the broken riddle thing still carved into the wall. It doesn't look like there's anything left in this area.
>Chas: You fail to drag the KEY like someone from a GIRL CARTOON. Because anime is pretty much the epitome of manliness. Well, at least a few series are. Also, I think your metaphor got away from you there.
Regardless, heading north. You find yourself in a massive chamber, occupied by a sleeping GICLOPS. There's a LOCKED DOOR heading EAST.
You thank the SALAMANDER for his time then watch him walk..scuddle..shuffle..however SALAMANDERS walk..away.
You glance back over to the Third Gate and then to the weird blue spirograph floating just beneath it.Hmmm.While you would like to stay here and make sure this place would be ok...you should return home to make sure everything is ok.Granted,you don;t know how to do that..but you will find a way.
You walk over to the weird blue spirograph,give it a look over,sigh,then jump into it.Here goes something.

You decide it's time to get acquainted to this past version of your LAND. As you walk off to explore a bit, you start to ponder that conversation you just had. This DAEDALUS guys seems nice enough, but you can't help but feel something is OFF. Your intense knowledge of VIDEO GAME AND ANIME TROPES gets to work as you analyze the situation. First of all, he doesn't know how he got where he is. That probably makes him a GAME CONSTRUCT. Second, he's an OLD MAN. That means he can only be one of two things: a KIND, OLD MASTER who will teach you some amazing techniques, or a VILLAIN.
And he seems obsessed with creating his own world. As much as you hate to jump to conclusions, VILLAIN seems the obvious choice. And yet, he was so affable the whole time. You couldn't help but feel like you could trust him. You decide to consult YOURSELF on the matter when you get back to your time. Unfortunately, PESTERCHUM does not allow you to cross timelines in your incessant botherings of others. In the meantime you think you'll go and find those old RUINS you found that IGUANA ELDER in. Maybe they're useful in some way.
Future Dirk: React
Oh look, a GICLOPS. You remember those things, and when they were a threat. You think it's kind of CUTE now, in a weird monsterish way. You ask CHAS if he wants to try his hand, or if he wants you to handle it yourself. You're hoping he's smart enough to do it himself, but you never know with him anymore.

>Rich: Initiate conversation to establish aliveness.
Hmm. Let FUTUREDIRK one-shot the GICLOPS like a pro, or tell it to pick on someone its own level and one tenth its size. This is a very difficult decision even for your own leaderly prowess.
Wait. No it's not.
>Chas: Rush forth like a foolhardy chipper young lad.
Way ahead of you, inner commands! The only question is how you could possibly top the utter over-the-top laser slaughter that was your last encounter with the DERSITE MENACE! Hm-
Oh. Yeah. You...You appear to have forgotten to stop charging and accidentally embedded your SPORK in the GICLOPS' eye. Whoops. As the mighty beast stirs, you quickly grab your weapon back and BUSCEMI ROLL the fuck away.
>Greg: You find yourself falling though time and space for a minute. They've got pretty lights in the space between the 12th and 19th dimensions.
You "land" back on top of your house, standing on top of LILYSPRITE's additions. Everything looks pretty much the way it did when you left, except for a few new occupants. It seems that a few SALAMANDERS have found their way into your home, as well as a few more IMPS. However, under LILY's watchful eyes (And threat of angelic flames burning the ever-loving crap out of them) neither party has gotten up to too much mischief.
>Dirk: Luckily, you somehow remember exactly how to reach the ruins you found before. Which is very, very good; you don't think you'd be able to recognize the place as it is now.
You find yourself standing before a massive stone tower, easily a couple miles in height, and about a thousand yards in diameter. Its outer walls are coated in more obscure carvings, and an enormous gate lies in front of you, its doors held shut by a gigantic pair of wooden planks. You can spot a (regular sized) key-hole in the middle of the gate, at about your height.
As you neglected to mention which SPORK you were using (You have what, 30 of them?) the GM assumes it was just a regular one, which is unable to pierce the GICLOPS thick eyelid. It is, however, enough to wake the beast up.
Groggily, it rises to its feet, blinking down at you and Future Dirk. It seems as though it's still too sleepy to move quickly.
You stand there for a moment,not quite sure where "there" is,blinking the light from your eyes.Lights just do not like you it seems.Maybe its because you pissed off Chas?
Once you have finally gotten the light out of your eyes and can see again,a familiar sight greets your eyes.Your standing on giant orange CUBES made leading down to a HOUSE that is,despite the various scorch and flame marks,is still largely intact.A smile spreads across your face as you start racing down toward the ground.
You are home.
Once you make it to the ground,you see that a few SALAMANDERS have found their way into your home, as well as a few more IMPS.Its good to see that things are peaceful here.You would rather this place be a safe zone of sorts.
Your already growing smile deepens when you spot a familiar face standing among the various critters.She seems to be keeping things in order,threat of angelic flames burning the ever-loving crap out of someone who misbehaves probably helps.You start running and,just as she turns around and sees you,you jump and give her a big tacklehug.
You pretty much fucked that one up, to be perfectly frank. Or should you say sporked it up.
Yeah, doesn't have the same charm.
Looks like the big drowsy asshole is sort of trying to work its way over to killing you, evidently viciously MILDLY AGITATED after being stabbed with your sole PLASTIC SPORK. Now, let's go over your options here - on one hand, you could DIM, leave FUTUREDIRK with the visibility, and sneak up to stab the fucker SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS-style. You've never played that game, but thankfully you've developed an encyclopedic knowledge of analogies. On the other hand, this asshole's got one eye and it's just begging to be blinded, especially since it's already tired. DIM or FLASH. DIM or FLASH.

>Chas: Your body glows with the power of untold Majyks, building up a ridiculous amount of energy. You can feel a massive strength pulsing through your veins. A strange voice fills your head, chanting a mantra in an ancient tone.
"The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to keep me tame."
For what feels like eons, you simply stand there, building up unprecedented energy. Then, just as it feels like your body will explode from the magnitude of the power, you simultaneously perform DIM and FLASH.
They cancel each other out, and nothing really happens. Yay.
It looks like most of the postings are just random strings of 1's and 0's. Stupid binary code, can't even read it...
Oh, wait. You spot a few fliers written in actual English. One's an advertisement for a SURPLUS STORE, one is asking for an advisory consult about architecture, and one is talking about something weird happening in one of the village mines.
There's also a hand-drawn MAP, showing the village and a few nearby landmarks. There's also a road leading to what you assume would be the next big outpost.
>Connor: Look around for villagers now that you have the awesome ironic level of "Something"
Your soo happy with your new level. All that lack of effort into something really cool. You bet your next level will be "Something really cool!" ha HA.
>Connor: If you want an actual level title, then don't pester the GM when he's trying to do urgent homework. Look, if I leave a post unfinished, it means something important came up, and that I'll finish it later.
Level 15 T-Ball Youth.
So far as you know, all the TURTLES are still back at the beach.
Oh, you get it. The game wants you to go find a key. Well, fuck that.

You brought your own key. Or, KEYBLADE, rather. You're really glad you found a way to try and put this thing to use. It's much too hard to draw to be your go-to combat weapon.
>Future Dirk: Run for your life

You thank Lily for the talk,then head toward your HOUSE.The smile is still plastered on your face,mostly anyways.Good to see everything is going well here.
You walk through the HOUSE to make sure that everything is still in one piece.Which it is,more or less.You really should get around to getting the couch off of the roof.The LIVING ROOM looks out of place without it.
While you are in the kitchen you remember to refill Perrywinkle's food and water.No telling how long you will be gone next time you leave.
Well with that done that leaves you with...not a whole lot to do other then go to sleep.But you don;t want to do that.Actually,it may be a wise idea to change shirts..considering the one you have on right now is kind of in taters.But you don't want to stop wearing it...hmm...
You grab one of the many spare NINJA ARMOR that your MOTHER has around.You remove the sleeves and boots of the NINJA ARMOR leaving you with a...umm...NINJA VEST? Yeah lets go with that.Time to make a few things.
COMBINE:NINJA VEST && TATTERED AWESOME PHOENIX SHIRT=PCHOOOOOOOO
You also decide to attempt a past combo again.
COMBINE:BLACK/GREY SNEAKERS && NINJA BOOTS && SPACE AND IT'S RELATIVE DIMENSION =PCHOOOOOOOO
Although the KEYBLADE is much too large to fit into the keyhole, as you hold the sword up a bright light shoots from its tip. Said beam shoots into the keyhole, accompanied by a loud clicking noise.
Slowly, the wooden planks holding the gate shut slide out of their slots, thudding to the ground. Now free of their restraints, the doors begin to swing open, revealing a massive chamber. Stepping inside the tower, you see that the entirety of the inner walls are covered with bizarre and outlandish carvings, both pictorial and in that strange script you keep finding everywhere. An enormous spiral staircase weaves its way upwards, lit by an array of floating, glowing orbs. Although you cannot see the top of the staircase, it seems likely that it'll reach the top of the tower.
In the center of the chamber lie several statues, all of various creatures, IGUANAS, GECKOS, CROCODILES, SALAMANDERS, TURTLES, and PARROTS. They are evenly spaced, set in a circle around what seems to be a stone LILYPAD, inscribed with a highly stylized sun.
You also think you can hear the clanking of a hammer and chisel, echoing from high above you.
>Greg: As you begin pouring out food, PERRYWINKLE appears from nowhere, and begins chowing down. Huh.
Anyway, crafting! Let's see here...
You made the SHIRT OF THE WHITE RAVEN! A black shirt, with a stylized white raven emblazoned on the front. It may not be a phoenix, but it still looks fairly impressive.
You made the 5TH DIMENSIONAL FOOTWEAR! As you slide the seemingly-ordinary shoes on, you feel a strange energy coursing through you. It feels strangely familiar, as though you've used this power before. Hmm...
>Xavier: For the sake of avoiding a couple unnecessary posts, the GM assumes you head back to the first room of the dungeon, still accompanied, of course, by C-Diddy.

>Rich: The CLOCKWORK CROCODILE running the SURPLUS STORE is more than happy to show you his wares. At least, you think he's happy. You're not sure if these guys can really experience emotion.
You take the items you have just made and give them a good look over.Even though the SHIRT OF THE WHITE RAVEN wasn't quite as cool as your last shirt,you suppose it is awesome in its own right and put it on.
You slip on the 5TH DIMENSIONAL FOOTWEAR,which looks similar to your old SNEAKERS except now being mostly black with a tinge of grey and the inside of the shoe being far more comfy material,and you can't help but feel an almost strange energy coursing through you.And yet,it feels familiar,as though you have used it before.Hmmm something to test later.
With that done,you contemplate on your next move.Another really left for you to do now,other then go to sleep.You leave a quick message on Pesterchum letting everyone know that you are going to Prospit and that you will get back to them as soon as you can.
You climb the staircase leading to your ROOM,and when you get in there,you shut the door and flop onto your BED.Your ROOM is still the same as you had left it.Your COMPUTER is still on with Dirk's house in view.
You just lay there and breath as fatigue of the last few hours.That and the near death experience.And slowly,but surely,your eyes start to grow heavy and after a few short minutes,you drift to sleep.
Defying all odds, the SURPLUS STORE manages to be stocked with nothing but USELESS SHIT and USEFUL SHIT YOU CAN'T AFFORD. Congratulations! You've wasted even more time. You're right on track to stop the Reckoning!
>Rich: Waste more time.
You look into the bulletin advertisement requesting architectural assistance.
Wow, that went quite a bit longer then I thought it would. Anyway, on to some content!
>Greg: You wake up back on Prospit, clad once more in your yellow robes. You notice that you're still meditating in Rich's room. It looks like the guy's still asleep. It can't be a very deep sleep though; he looks like he could wake up at any time.
Glancing out the window, you can see that Prospit still looks the same. Lots of tall, golden buildings. Plenty of white-carapaced people walking around, going about their business. Yep, life is good.
>Rich: Eh, you'll probably gain a few levels in short order. Boonbucks aplenty!
Heading back to the BULLETIN BOARD, you note the location mentioned on the architecture problem flyer. It looks like it's right in the middle of the village.
Heading over there, you find a CLOCKWORK CROCODILE standing in front of a large pile of GIANT GLASS SHARDS. He could probably give you an in-depth, but funny to read/listen to explanation of his situation, but he's also willing to provide the short version, shown below.

This is just silly! You liked being something. You are something. That one something. Now your a T-Ball Youth! It doesn't even have guy in the name! How sad.
>Connor: Pick up grist, check grist count, and go to da beach dufe.
You do so, you wonder if it will be a shit load? It should be a shit load! You earned a shit load!
>MetroidNut: Celebrate almost-four-month-anniversary with the GM.
I'd love to partake in the festivities of this joyous occasion, but because it took me so to get into Homestuck, I showed up late to the party! Instead, I'll go and hang out on the roof, quietly and ominously surveying the dark city far below me.
The city streets are red, the lights are blue and blinding. The TIME POLICE have found me.
>MetroidNut: Re-read SURPLUS STORE inventory.
Okay so I might have been slightly rushed when I made my last post, and I might have slightly not noticed the map and potions. Like a boss.
>Rich: Reconsider usefulness of SURPLUS STORE items.
Okay, fine. You GUESS a map would be kind of useful. And those tubes of colored liquid look delicious! You return to the SURPLUS STORE and purchase one of each of those things. You're still not happy about their lack of awesome weapons and items, though! They're probably being held back until you're a higher level...stupid game logic and its stupid balancing concerns.
>Xavier: Heading through the door to the EAST, you and C-Diddy come across another hole, this one leading downwards. Peeking through the hole reveals that the room below you is populated by a pair of BASILISKS, and has another closed door heading WEST.
>Connor: It's hard coming up with titles that all have "guy" in them.
As you head back to the beach, you are approached by the OLD TURTLE.

The TURTLES begin slowly walking back up the path. It looks like it'll be a couple hours before they make it to the village.
Taking your tubes of paint - and glad you tested their stickiness before trying to drink them - you set to work repairing the CROCODILE's building. Though you're fairly certain paint-viscosity is a bit architecturally unsound, you're equally certain that making a building out of nothing but glass shards is a lot more unsound. You don't think paint could possibly make the building less safe.

>Rich: Keep painting.
You work with the majesty and grace of one who has absolutely no idea what he is doing. After many minutes of toil, your masterpiece is at last completed.
It looks like complete and utter shit.
On the plus side, it bears a strong resemblance to a building.
As your waking self finally drifts to sleep,the eyes on your dreamself snaps open.You survey your surroundings and find that you are still in Rich's tower on Prospit.You stand up and stretch.It feels like you have been stuck in the same position for hours.
You glance over at Rich's sleeping form and see that he is,of course,still asleep,though not in a heavy sleep.He might wake up soon.You could wait for him,but who knows how long that could take? You decide to make a note instead,with the paper and pens in his DREAM TOWER.That is probably not their name..but you will call them that for now.
You leave the NOTE on his sleeping form,then walk over and out look out onto Prospit.The city is still as it was last time you were here,which you breath a sigh of relief to.You stand on the WINDOWSILL then jump,flying high atop the city.No time for fun right now though.You need to talk with the Queen.
>Greg: Yep, that certainly bears a strong resemblance to a building, despite the obvious safety hazards it imposes upon the community. Seriously, that thing could collapse at like, any second.
But, the CROCODILE seems happy with your work. He whirs happily at your progress, and hands you a couple BOONBUCKS.
>Greg: You soar over Prospit, quietly observing the many people below you. Yep, stuff is looking good.
You eventually land on the palace balcony, where you last saw WQ. However, it seems that she has now vacated the area; it's likely that she's somewhere else within the palace.
A nearby guard spots you, and informs you that WQ has in fact returned to the Throne Room. He can guide you there, if you like.
>Dirk: You slowly begin to ascend the stairs, traveling steadily upwards. Climbing takes a very long time; you find yourself passing hundreds of carvings, and occasionally a brightly glowing orb to light your path.
Eventually, you reach the end of the staircase, running into the tower ceiling, with a large trapdoor blocking your way forward. Pushing it open, you emerge onto the tower roof. Although it's quite windy up there, you find yourself mostly protected by a tall wall, with occasional gaps in the stone allowing you to see through to the ground far below.
You see four figures crouched on the ground, hammering away with hammers and chisels. They seem to be a bit shorter than you; two have white skin and are clothed in yellow robes, and the others and black, wearing robes of purple. They do not notice you as they work.
You engage your Kill Mode (Which is incredibly terrifying, by the way), and attack the GICLOPS, presumably with your KATANA. You deal some massive damage to the beast, easily knocking it to the ground; a few more slashes and the creature is no more.
You bow to the nearby guard and say to him that you would very much like for him to guide you to the White Queen as you have to speak with her as soon as it is convenient.
No, you shit. TURN the map you shit. No okay you turned it full ways, turn it back, then start over. Turn it HALF ways, NOT whole ways, you PIECE OF SHIT!
>Cool Guy: Remind GM that dangers of his character's universe are behind a fourth wall.
You made do what you like to my alternate self, but I'm still here behind this little glass window wall thingie.
Now while I could care less what you do to my character, for his sake, lets not try to kill him yet as to not ruin the story.
>Connor: Observe the crippled ogre.
You really did a number on him, your not even sure he can walk. You think you should put the poor bastard out of his misery, but that won't be very nice ether. You think finishing him off is the right answer. You come up closer to him and beat the shit of his legs some more until he falls over, then you smash his head in.
