	Take all the time you need, Pappy. Also, being in a somewhat similar (though far less unpleasant) situation to you, I can only suggest you look at it this way - just a few weeks left.

	>Benndak: Be OOC. This phone keyboard is entirely shitty so I can't make a broad, sweeping statement here, but I hope you're alright, Pappy. Life can really bog you down sometimes (as I know because I was pretty much absent for two weeks), it's all good. Don't rush yourself. Also, to Ms. Pappytech, if you've made it to Page 43, congratulations. You're dedicated as all hell. I have probably offended you at least twice in the course of your reading this.

	>CG: I hope all goes well Cool Guy the Third. It's tough, I'm sure. I'm going though shit at the moment that would ruin most people. But we all get though and stuff, otherwise we would of all died when the slightest troubles came up. I'm sure you'll get though yours cool guy. Also, Ben, I think I'm the one who's been most offensive, just do the fact it's a self insertion and his mom likely thinks I'm really like this. I'm not, for the most part, but I'm sure everyone puts a little of themselves into their characters, I guess some a little more than others. Anyways, I hope you feel better Pappy.

	>Chas: You find various PICTURES OF BIRDS, and a pretty complex SOUND SYSTEM. Doesn't look like there's much else in this room though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Greg: OOC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Rich: Your suicidal tendencies haven't killed you yet! You manage to land on the OGRE'S head, dealing some damage as you collide. Unluckily, you also take some damage from the impact. HEALTH VIAL: 89% Quickdraw manages to climb to his feet and take down another IMP before falling down again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Xavier: As you hit the "k" button, it indents into the wall and stays put for a minute. However, once you hit "n", it returns to its original position. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Dirk: Although you're able to ascend the monster's arm, he's still quite reselient to your blows. You manage to deal some damage, but already the effects of HASTE and SLOW are beginning to wear off... >Future Dirk: SIS shrugs, and shakes her head. She's dedicated a good chunk of her life to raising you; she's not going to be the one to kill you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Connor: You find an ANALOG CLOCK.

Benndak	1475 POSTED: 30 Nov 2011 02:16
	>Chas: Go off jetpacking, then! Your ALBUM COLLECTION is still at home, which means there's jack shit you can do here. In the interests of being polite, you knock over a couple of PICTURES OF BIRDS, because if you're not going to steal anything you may as well cause a minor disturbance. In fact, for good measure, you even make a few paintings askew. And you kick the sound system around a bit, which does nothing but hurt your foot. Take that, society. Now then, time to get going! >Chas: Fly through gate, search for whoever's land this is.

MetroidNut	1476 POSTED: 30 Nov 2011 02:17
	>Rich: Kill OGRE. You place your HEADPHONES on the OGRE, and prepare to unleash the most cruel and wait fuck that MP3 file is corrupted. You had better come up with a Plan B, and quickly! >Rich: Attempt to move OGRE to incapacitating tears. You find and play the saddest song in your arsenal. Spoiler: Click to View

	OOC Spoiler: Click to View >Dirk: Acknowledge this is not working Yeah, the voice in your head is totally right. This thing is WAY too powerful for you to beat. Pretty much nothing you do even scratches it. DRAMATIC RECORD SCRATCH Wait a minute, WHAT? When did you get so pessimistic? There's nothing you can't do! You're the HERO OF TIME! Activate ULTIMATE MOVE: GIGA TIME BARRAGE! Spoiler: Click to View >Future Dirk: Be stumped Well, shit, you tell your SIS. You suppose you'll just have to kick the ass of everything that comes your way from now until the time you enact your plan.

	>Greg:Find Lily While you look for Lily,you have a small chat with one of the trolls.Arm flailing may or may not have been involved. Show Pesterlog Well that was rude.Or she is having computer trouble.You're not really sure which.Oh well,you will just have to fill them in later.Least you were able to solve the problem between Connor and her. You find Lily pretty much were you last saw her,out in the YARD keeping the IMPS and SALAMANDERS out of trouble.She spots you as you walk over to her and gives you a kind smile. Show Spritelog You give Lily a hug,then head back inside.More troubling news.You had thought that Prospit might have been overpowering Derse.but if Derse is holding back...that changes everything. You sigh to yourself as more problems seem to just keep popping up. Might as well make sure the CAT's food and water are full.

Connor Lonske	1479 POSTED: 30 Nov 2011 21:21
	>Connor: Look around the room some more. Yeah, you already described what was in here. There a bit more streamers and empty plates. You go looking for something of use when suddenly... You a large present package hidden away in the closet, with a note on it from your father going on about how he knows you'll enjoy your birthday present. You open it up and find this. Spoiler: Click to View Can it be? No, no way! >Connor: Open up case. No way. Spoiler: Click to View It's, a Alto Saxophone. >Connor: Proceed to hug your awesome gift.

Pappytech	1480 POSTED: 30 Nov 2011 22:01
	>Chas: What monsters hath society wrought? Men of wrath and anger, doing nothing but destroying all that lies before them. Some people want to save the world. You just want to see it burn. Overreaction aside, you take off, and begin soaring around. As you fly about, you hear several loud bursts of music, apparently coming from a cluster of Underlings about a mile from your current position. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Rich: The OGRE, not knowing the story being conveyed by the Protomen's lyrics, is unable to feel the emotional plight of Dr. Light, and does not take any damage or experience any heartfelt revelations about the foolishness of man trying to save the world. Instead, he gestures to one of the remaining IMPS, who pulls out a BOOMBOX and begins playing a sad song of their own. Because, why not? Sadder song ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Dirk: ...Well, now I know what LEITMOTIF OF THE AGES does. Your swarm of GIGA CORE DRILLS tears through the OCCULOSI, reducing the beast to a massive pile of Grist. Your attack proceeds to wipe out a large portion of the remaining enemies as well, freeing Snake-Eyes in the process. Although you still face an impressive hoard of foes (A single GICLOPS, some assorted OGRES and BASILISKS, and a large amount of IMPS) most of them seem to be scared senseless, trembling as they stare at you. >Future Dirk: Your SIS laughs at your proposal, and wishes you good luck with that. She then turns and walks away, swinging one of her enormous dies as she marches off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Greg: As you refill Periwinkle's food and water, he gives a grateful meow, and begins eating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Connor: Sure, why not. You got a saxophone.

MetroidNut	1481 POSTED: 30 Nov 2011 22:22
	>Rich: Shrug noncommittally. It was kinda sad, you guess. You find it almost too upbeat to be particularly tear-jerking. >Rich: This is stupid. You switch tactics and start pouring sonic blasts from your CHAMPION'S BULLETBOOM into the OGRE's thinkpan. >MetroidNut: Interject. Honestly, the one and only song to ever move me to tears was Descend. That has more to do with the, ah, associations, than it has to do with actually being a sad song, but still.

Benndak	1482 POSTED: 1 Dec 2011 00:04
	>Benndak: Interject. this phone keyboard is a WHORE BIBLE But I have only been ever moved to tears by the passionate tenor of Garfunkel in Bridge Over Troubled Water. >Chas: SOAR LIKE A MIGHTY EAGLE ON THE WIND TOWARDS THIS PLEASURABLE SOUND

	>MetroidNut: Oppose ninjas in all their forms. I am a bad enough dude to rescue the President.

CJ1145	1484 POSTED: 1 Dec 2011 03:39
	>Dirk: Explain the situation You stand on top of the mountain of GRIST, staring down the remaining UNDERLINGS. You point your hand up to the HEAVENS (a DRILL appearing in place of your INDEX FINGER for dramatic effect) and give a speech. I am the MENTOR OF TIME! I'm not just some punk kid, but a hero! I fight for the protection of everything, and that includes all of you! I know you fight for the BLACK QUEEN, and the terror she spreads in everyone, but I say to hell with that! Who wants to live a life of fear? You want to destroy? Fine! Come with me, and you can tear down the bitch's palace brick by purple brick! Just because destruction is in your nature doesn't mean you've got to be some kind of monster! Come with me and I'll teach you how to be a better fighter than any of you have ever been! You really hope this works. If you manage to convince the UNDERLINGS to fight against the BLACK QUEEN, maybe you can do the same with all of the DERSITES. >Future Dirk: Abuse time some more You go back in time a ways, and use the spare amount of time you've got to pick out a FRIEND to help level up. You try and recall who is the lowest leveled at the moment, to go and assist them.

Connor Lonske	1485 POSTED: 1 Dec 2011 04:51
	>Connor: Play something EPIC. You know just what. You were going to play EPIC SAX GUY from memory when suddenly in another post...

WafflesandBacon	1486 POSTED: 1 Dec 2011 22:51
	>You are pestered by a black guy His name Xavier and in fact, you are him now. Well, not from his current perspective, you are him from the past, lifting or shouting things for the door to open. >Past Xavier: Do your mission Huh. Oh, yeah, you were supposed to SPY on Connor, how absentminded of you. >Xavier: Show X-Log >Be Current Xavier You are now him. Now pondering how to work this puzzle. >Xavier: Ponder "K, k, k. What the hell has a 'K' in it!? Killing? Kulling? Kan, because that was right in the last puzzle. Kold, king, kindness?" You input everything you though of.

Pappytech	1487 POSTED: 1 Dec 2011 23:37
	>Rich, Chas, Future-Dirk: As you get ready to blow the OGRE'S mind, you're suddenly knocked out of the air by a guy wearing a black suit and OH GOD IT'S CHAS. The two of you tumble to the ground, just as a flash of light fills the area, revealing a surprised looking Future-Dirk as you roughly collide with him, reducing all three of you to an awkward tangle of limbs, jetpacks, laser-hats, and swords. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Dirk: Although a few of the Underlings abscond, a surprisingly large number of them seem to be listening to you. They seem to enjoy the idea of being destructive without being killed by one of the Heroes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Connor: You play some music. It's pretty nice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Xavier: Nothing you try seems to be working. However, some force of fate seems to guide your hand, and you accidentally press the "e" key after depressing the "k" again. Both keys remain pressed.

MetroidNut	1488 POSTED: 2 Dec 2011 01:39
	Spoiler: Click to View >Rich: Attempt to remove yourself from the HERO PILE. Your leg appears to be stuck on something. Specifically, Chas. Or does that torso belong to Future-Dirk? Either way, you can't really move. >Rich: Finish the OGRE. You (a bit violently) free your CHAMPION'S BULLETBOOM from underneath your comrades, and resume your attempts to blow the OGRE'S mind. >Rich: Tell your colleagues to get off of you. You scream your request over the sound of melodious gunfire in an incredibly bad-ass and street-tough manner.

Benndak	1489 POSTED: 2 Dec 2011 03:14
	>Chas: Be uncermoniously united with future best bro and other half of TEAM ALDIRK, and also your subordinate-in-chief the HERO PILE doesnt stop from getting taller >Chas: Deal with this buffoonish ogre. Years ago, you and DIRK made a ceremonious agreement that if you ever found yourselves in a situation where blood must be shed, the RULE OF TWO must come before all. RICH cannot be inducted into TEAM ALDIRK with the traditional baptism-by-fire ritual; no, he must prove himself worthy of the title. But as you look upon his combat style, you can see this guy's got some potential. Still. May as well teach the kid how it's done. In fact, you pull out your SPECIAL MOVE LEADERCHARTS and remember the fancy name you came up with for your first-ever SBURB SLAYER SHITSTORM attack. Working title. >SBURB SLAYER SHITSTORM: ILLUMINATION OF THE HOPEFUL TIMESTREAM (WORKING TITLE) -> ALDIRKSMANSHIP -> ALDIRKSMANAPPRENTICESHIP COMBO You shout that mouthful out loud into the air, leap to your feet, and bestow your finest TEAM BUFF on RICH. You're not sure if those exist, but you've been practicing these hand movements for a while. >Chas: Proceed to clock ogre with LPoS.

Nitemare18	1490 POSTED: 2 Dec 2011 03:21
	>Greg:Do something useful But what could you really do?You guess you could try and find some things to make a JACKET or CAPE out of while you just stand around and wait for Illire to contact you.But what?All you have is NINJA JUNK.And you don't really think that would make a very good JACKET or CAPE. Hmm..ah screw it.You may have looked silly the last time,but you don't really have time to stand round. >Greg:Wave hands around to try to flag down the other troll Ok,you admit you still look like an air traffic controller covered in beetles. After a bit you get a beep,letting you know that someone is contacting you.You look and see its Illire.Good.Your arms were getting tired. Show Pesterlog Well,atleast they are back in the loop.Somewhat. You decide to try the CODE that Illire gave you.Its not like you are using your pile of GRIST for anything else.

Pappytech	1491 POSTED: 2 Dec 2011 22:48
	>Rich, Team Aldirk: Thanks to your combo attack, the OGRE is felled, bursting into a pile of Grist, which in turn crushes another IMP. The sole remaining OGRE approaches the HERO PILE, roaring in anger. Quickdraw, meanwhile, continues to take out a few IMPS, although he's quickly being surrounded by their superior numbers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Greg: You find that, sadly, you don't have enough Grist to create the armor Illire was telling you about. It's pretty amazing actually; whatever this code makes, it costs a fortune. How the hell are you supposed to get that much Grist? If only there was some kind of gigantic, monstrous, enemy you could defeat, and reap the spoils from that battle. Then you'd probably have enough. You know, like the kind that's probably lurking behind the BOSS DOOR that you know absolutly nothing about.

WafflesandBacon	1492 POSTED: 2 Dec 2011 23:12
	>KEYS! It has to be! If its not all your tactical thoughts are all for naught! You input "KEY, KEYS".

MetroidNut	1493 POSTED: 3 Dec 2011 00:17
	>Rich: Fight for the lost. You decide to temporarily ignore the OGRE bearing down on the HERO PILE in order to focus your efforts on thinning the crowd of IMPS gathered around Sheriff Quickdraw. For your own safety, you suppose you'll just have to dodge by way of... >Rich: LIFDOFF. You courageously rocket into the sky, heroically ignoring any allies that might or might not be currently under your JETPACK'S thrusters.

Nitemare18	1494 POSTED: 3 Dec 2011 01:09
	>Greg:Be very disappointed You are very disappointed that you don't have enough GRIST.But you just shrug it off and write the code down in your JOURNAL so you don't forget it.You will just have to return to LoCaF and try again later. You make sure that everything is Ok before you leave,which it is.So with a goodbye to Lily and a wish of luck from her,you return to the NODE at the top of your HOUSE and jump back in. Back to the Land of Castles and Frogs!Pchooooo!....Ok you aren't saying that again.It sounds silly.

CJ1145	1495 POSTED: 3 Dec 2011 05:37
	>Dirk: Finish speech "So, come on then! It won't be long now before me and all the other heroes are bashing down the door to the Black Bitch's palace, so if ya wanna be right there beside us, come with me! There's a lot of work I've gotta do, and in between that work is worlds full of obstacles and agents of the Queen herself to destroy, and if ya want in on that, follow me!" You think you understand how these UNDERLINGS work. If your theory is right, they're basically kind of blank slates, but generally prefer DESTRUCTION. For a moment you even sort of ponder if they're the DERSITE equivalent of the CONSORTS you and your FRIENDS have been helping. You're almost certain they hate the BLACK QUEEN, though, since even some of her AGENTS seem to. So you figure if you can convince them to join up with you now, you can influence them to become genuinely good later. Or at least make them loyal to you by being the best COMMANDER ever. >Future Dirk: Save Quickdraw You shoot out from the HERO PILEUP, avoiding the OGRE entirely. You are sure your friends can handle them. You, meanwhile, aim to slice up those little IMPS trying to hurt QUICKDRAW.

Pappytech	1496 POSTED: 3 Dec 2011 19:13
	>Xavier: You enter KEY into the wall, and the door to the WEST slides open. The next room is fairly small, its only feature an ornate chest in the middle of the room. There are no enemies or traps that you can see. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Rich: You manage to soar into the air, only causing a very minor case of third-degree burns to Chas as you LIFDOFF. You and Future Dirk manage to wipe out the IMPS around Quickdraw. The only OGRE left begins to abscond, seeing that all his allies have been defeated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Greg: You emerge from the RETURN NODE again, stepping back into the SALAMANDER OUTPOST. The castle is still on the hill, overlooking the small village. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Dirk: As you finish your speech, you hear some muttering coming from the crowd of Underlings. It sounds like they're debating whether or not to follow you. However, before they can come to a consensus, you hear a series of loud gunshots, and watch as the GICLOPS is reduced to naught but Grist.

CJ1145	1497 POSTED: 3 Dec 2011 20:14
	>Dirk: Get Papa Wolf on some unlucky bastard You immediately jump between the remaining Underlings and where you believe the gunshots came from. You were right on the verge of turning these poor things in the right direction! You shout out into the distance that these Underlings are under your protection, and that if someone is going to try and get to them through you, they'd best have the balls to do it face to face. You are NOT going to let whoever did that get away with it. >Future Dirk: Trip up the Ogre Out of sheer boredom, you decide that this OGRE could have a use. You leap after him and try to trip him up so he falls. You're going to make a MESSENGER BOY out of this guy.

WafflesandBacon	1498 POSTED: 4 Dec 2011 01:05
	>Xavier: Open the chest and get ready for a LoZ-esque reveal

Nitemare18	1499 POSTED: 4 Dec 2011 01:55
	>Greg:Decide what to do next Well,now that you are back in the SALAMANDER OUTPOST,it would be wise to plan your next move.You could go through the next Gate,but you have no idea where that leads.You could return to the CASTLE and make sure you got everything.Or you could wander around for a bit and see what you find. Hmm.. You decide to head back to the CASTLE.You hope Chas hasn't made a complete mess of it.

MetroidNut	1500 POSTED: 4 Dec 2011 04:32
	>Rich: Flash thumbs-up to Sheriff Quickdraw. You do so, since you don't have any terribly strong desire to hunt down and murder the fleeing OGRE. >Rich: Politely ask Chas what the fuck he is doing here. You don't think you can do that. >Rich: Ask Chas what the fuck he is doing here. You do so.

Connor Lonske	1501 POSTED: 4 Dec 2011 06:43

Pappytech	1502 POSTED: 4 Dec 2011 08:21
	>Dirk: You head into the quickly-scattering crowd of Underlings, the various Dersites fleeing as fast as their respective limbs can carry them. All except for one notable figure. Dressed in a well-cut, pure white suit, the figure stands at about your SIS' height, his skin (or carapace) sheer black. A white fedora had been pulled over his eyes, and he calmly begins reloading an antique looking shotgun as you approach him. Once you get close enough, he begins speaking. "Ya know, people like you really piss me off. You think you're so invincible, with your shoddy weapons, fancy powers, and stupid, MORONIC, clothes. You all think you're so SPECIAL, that no one and nothing can possibly hurt you. That you're so STRONG, with all your idiotic titles. That you're going to be the one to take down the Queen." He raises his face and stares at you, a grim smile plastered across his scarred visage. "Where the hell do you get off telling me that you're gonna win? What makes you think that you've got a chance against me, against everyone else? What makes you so damn sure, that you're not gonna die?" His shotgun is suddenly cocked and aimed at your head. OOC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Future Dirk: You manage to take down the OGRE, without killing him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Xavier: Doo-doo-do-do-doo-doo-do-do-doo-doo-doo... DANH DANH DAH DAAAAAAAANH! You got the BOSS KEY! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Greg: As you reenter the Castle, you notice that all the rooms on your map seem to be fully illuminated, except for an ominous one with a skull and crossbones over it. Huh, I wonder what could possibly be there? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Rich: Quickdraw awkwardly returns the thumbs up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Connor: Your SPRITE seems happy for you.

CJ1145	1503 POSTED: 4 Dec 2011 19:17
	>Dirk: Grin+Time Shenanigans You look up at the carapace guy with the shotgun and give a big, beaming grin right to his face. If looks could say "fuck you", this would be the look. "Have you been taking fashion tips from Chas? That shitty hat does not suit you at ALL, bro. Have you thought of switching to black? Or maybe just blow your own fucking face off? Then you wouldn't need to worry about a hat at all." You take a step closer and put your GUNBLADE to his abdomen. You really just don't give a shit, do you? "You want to know why I'm so sure I'm not gonna die? Well, I will tell you. It doesn't matter whether or not I die, because I AM NOT THE DIRK YOU NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT." Spoiler: Click to View >Future Dirk: Threaten "Listen, lug, and listen good. You are officially my bitch, you go that? That means you do what I say when I say it. And right now, what I say is, you are delivering a message to the Black Queen herself. I don't care if you've gotta jump through a thousand flaming hoops to do it, but by Jesus goddamn Christ you are gonna do it. And don't even fucking THINK of trying to escape me once you're out of sight, because I will track you down." You take your RAD KATANA and slice a thin line across the middle of his face. "That is your mark. That is how I will know you, and that is how I will track you down anywhere from here to the fucking Green Sun. You will NOT escape me, because I have got all the time I need to find you. Now, you go to the Black Queen, and you tell her "Your Time has officially run out." Got that? Good, now GO."

You just a disturbance in the PIMP/BITCH CONTINUUM, as if SOMEONE was being a better PIMP than you. >Xavier: Ignore it and kick some boss ass You race back to the locked door on the second floor.

Nitemare18	1505 POSTED: 4 Dec 2011 22:33
	>Greg:Leave Castle You sigh to yourself as you look at the GIANT DOOR in front of you.Another little problem to add to the others.You have no idea where this key is,but you would have to guess that either Chas,Dirk,or FutureDirk has it because this place has been cleared out and they are the only ones that you knew where here.Oh course,someone else could have gotten it,but you would rather hope for the former then the later. Well,looks like you can't do anything else here for now,so you head back to the OUTPOST to plan your next move. You could go exploring for a bit or you could press on through the Third Gate. Hmm....oh what the heck. >Greg:Jump into the Third Gate. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!
