You are now PERRIX SEIYOS.

You've been frantically running about for a bit now, SHIT-EATING SMIRK plastered to your punchable face. See, just a short while ago you found out about a CERTAIN GAME THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE EPONYMOUS from one PHERAE ELAPHA. Between a shortage of time and what you are hoping was a begrudging respect for how RUGGED and DASHING you are, she shared the game.

It was awesome until it killed your LUSUS.

Even a slimeball like you was sort of upset about that. You quickly recovered, however, especially since you've already learned that he can be brought back to the land of the living. In fact, you're practically ecstatic about the whole deal now, because admittedly necromancy through video games sounds REALLY FUCKING COOL. You've already got a bit of a START: thrashed IMPS, consumed consumables, deployed deployables... Unfortunately to proceed further you'll have to rely on HER.

You choke another IMP in an effort to keep your SMIRK from morphing into a SCOWL.

CS: ~I'm~ ready to move on, now, Elapha. ~~CS
CS: Not that ~I~ should be terribly surprised you aren't... ~~CS
CS: Do you need help? ~~CS
CS: ~I~ haven't even looked at the server's controls yet, but even then this will probably go faster if you just let ~me~ tell you what to do. ~~CS
CS: As ~I~ did not grow up under a rock in the woods, ~I~ probably have a better grasp of the frightening universe-age technology at play here. ~~CS

You really do hope she hurries up, and that no one else sees fit to DISTRACT you.

You've quickly come to realize that maybe hiding in your hive and hoping for the best isn't such a good idea after all. Especially since you came across the rest of your hivemates unfortunately deceased aboveground due to a meteor that landed a little bit away.

Yeah, that....wasn't. The best part of your day, really.

But anyway, Kaprao said something about getting a server, and no one else is on that you actually know, so...maybe this guy? He seemed to really like playing the hero.

so--x
hI--x
we havenT Talked In awhIle I guess I wanTed To see If you were also playIng ThaT game everyones been TalkIng abouT--x....

Oh, hello again! ~~CS
Why yes, ~I~ am! ~~CS
Quite exciting! ~~CS
~I~ take it that you managed to acquire an advance copy as well? ~~CS

well yes I guess--x.
I wanT really sure If I would play IT before now Though--x.
I guess some ThIngs really change your mInd--x
buT uh--x
I--x
well I mIghT need some--x
help--x.......?

Help? ~~CS
~I~ suppose that you need another player to connect with? ~~CS

yeah--x
I guess ThaTs whaT I was TryIng To ask I guess--x.
I beT you already have someone--x
There are a loT of people who already do--x......

As it just so happens, you're in luck! ~~CS
~I~ only just an hour or so ago received the game, ~myself~! ~~CS
~I've~ a server player of ~my~ own, but no client as of yet... ~~CS
It would also appear that ~I~ am, frustratingly, free at the moment since ~I~ am unable to proceed without said server player! ~~CS

You've been trying to contact your usual GAMER'S GUILD pals to find a client player, but suspiciously none of them have answered. Eh... Beggars, choosers, and all that.

It would appear that for the game to truly work as intended, ~I~ will require a client player as well, so... ~~CS
Congratulations! ~~CS
You appear to have snagged yourself possibly the ~best server player~ possible! ~~CS

oh--x
really--x?
ThaTs greaT Thank you so much--x!!
buT--x
now do I jusT InsTall These grubdIsks--x?

It becomes apparent at this moment that you have no experience with video games whatsoever. Oops.

Yes? ~~CS
But in order for ~me~ to connect to you, ~I~ probably will need your IP. ~~CS

You have a feeling you know the ANSWER already, but...

...You know how to find that, correct? ~~CS

well--x

You debate whether or not it would be good to LIE for a bit before answering.

no noT exacTly--x....

You SIGH.

Really? ~~CS
No, it's... ~~CS
It's fine. ~~CS
Quite simple, actually, you just... ~CS

And here is where we assume that whatever TROLL OS they are using has an equivalent of a COMMAND PROMPT in which to run an equivalent of IPCONFIG. Of course also assuming that Alternian internet even has IP ADDRESSES and that such a thing is required to run the game in the first place but whatever

Explanation from Perrix on how to GET CONNECTED after INSTALLING goes here I guess!

Thank you so much--x!
Ive never been really good aT compuTers--x.
so ThIs Is kInd of my fIrsT TIme doIng anyThIng lIke ThIs--x.

~I~... ~~CS
See... ~~CS
Well, like ~I~ said, it's probably for the best that you're paired with ~me~, then! ~~CS

And just like that, you REBOUND. Working with a computer- and gaming-illiterate partner is only a chance to further prove your own superiority.

Let ~me~ know when that finishes installing. ~~CS

ok--x
should I do anyThIng whIle Im waITIng--x?
I mean wIThouT my sIblIngs The huskTop Is goIng much fasTer--x
buT ITs sTIll a preTTy bIG pIece of shIT--x.

Mm, perhaps try and clear out some space... ~~CS
In your hive, ~I~ mean. ~~CS
~We're~ going to have to place a few objects, as ~I~ understand it! ~~CS

okay Ill Try--x
my parT of The hIve Is preTTy spacIous--x.
I donT ThInk youll have a problem--x.

So you were... ~~CS
Phylus, correct? ~~CS

phylus yes--x.
ThaT Is my name--x.
