[MEMO: OPEN TO ALL] ==> PROSPIT DREAMERS: FIND THE LOST NOTES

[defensivealchemist]

==> Durian: Dream and report on your findings.

You can't report on your findings when you haven't found anything!

==> Durian: Dream, find those notes and convey the information to the others.

That order is too complicated to complete in one cut. You'll need to divide it into TWO COMMANDS. You should probably also include any other available players in your command.

==> Prospit dreamers: Dream and search for the Lost Notes

According to Kappy, people join the game in an entry chain. You are not next in line. You're not sure how long it will take before you get in. Sitting at your computer and talking in that memo is interesting and fulfilling, but it doesn't block out the sound of meteors echoing outside. Now that you know what the sound is, you find yourself feeling unsettled. Possibly even nervous.

After a while you close the memo, set the device to charging, and hunt down the previous owner's recuperacoon. It's a pity that the troll who lived here died; from their hive's design and their stuff, you had enough in common that you could have enjoyed talking with them. You put those thoughts out of your mind as you climb into the sopor, and try to focus on the GOLDEN MOON. Hopefully the influence of the sopor will contribute to whatever gave you that previous dream.

It seems to help. Minutes or hours later, you fall asleep and wake in the golden tower, the same one you encountered Zirreh in.



==> Durian: Report the information to the others.

it5 very confu5ing
im familiar with the threat5 we might face here
not what might 6e on tho5e planet5
the only advantage i 5ee i5 that we wont have the ri5k of a11 dying 6y meteor5 if were 5paced out

[apiarycryptonaut]

Once we think 4bout... it, it won't be... th4t confusing, I think!
Or m4ybe once we're... in the g4me, yes.
But no one is... 4llowed to die, no!
Especi4lly not to meteors!

[defensivealchemist]

why e5pecia11y
i5 it 6ecau5e meteor5 are nearly impo55i6le to fight 6ack again5t

[apiarycryptonaut]

Um, yes, I think?
C4n you fight 4... meteor 4nd not die?
I know I c4n't.
I'm not going to... try 4nd I hope... no one else does!
Meteors 4re very b4d!

[defensivealchemist]

im not trying it
that5 why im 5taying in thi5 cave until 5omeone deign5 to let me in on thi5 game

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh, um, like with... me, right Duri4n, m4ybe?
I wonder who, um... do you h4ve 4nyone... in mind, sort of?
But it's good th4t... you're s4fe from meteors!
Don't fight them, ok4y????

[defensivealchemist]

can you get me in? =:o
kappy gave me thi5 5peech a6out an entry Order
the la5t per5on to get in i5 let in 6y the fir5t per5on who got in tha5 5ti11 alive
and for everyone 6efore that 5omeone who i5nt in help5 5omeone el5e get in
i gue55 that5 5o we have a chance to learn how it work5 6efore we ri5k dying while entering
half the people who already went in died
...
im not 5ure how to get the program without going through kappy or hirune

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh, well, um, m4ybe?
But w4it no, th4t... doesn't m4ke sense, no.
I think you need... someone else who isn't... in the g4me yet?
Um um um um... the pl4yers I spoke... with I think 4re... 4lre4dy in the g4me.
M4ybe K4pr4o or Hirune... know who should be... next, I think, yes?
Or, um, w4it, m4ybe...
If the pl4yers, um...
W4it w4it w4it w4it.

I think I'm first... m4ybe, yes, into the... g4me, I think, m4ybe!
Well um not first... but first 4mong newer... pl4yers, m4ybe, yes? Yes.
The others would h4ve... s4id something, I think!
So you c4n 4sk... the others, m4ybe, yes?
Like, um, well, In4nn4,... Perrix, Phylus, or TA!

You make a mental note to talk more with TA. You never got their name. You also take note of the EXTREMELY USEFUL INFORMATION that Durian just provided you.

[defensivealchemist]

i didnt 5ay that clearly
i mean i dont have a copy of the game yet
i figured they only 5end the file5 to people in entry order to make 5ure we dont 6reak Rank5
that5 what id do if i had it
...
wait im 6eing 5tupid
if youre next that mean5 my server doe5 have to 6e 5omeone el5e

[defensivealchemist]

You pause a moment to marvel at Avispa's readiness to help. It's a good thing for Hirune and the others in charge of the game that you don't intend to sabotage their order.

that work5 very we11 for me
i11 a5k around to 5ee who5 availa6le

-- defensiveAlchemist [DA] accepted the download of "scribe.exe" --

epi6at wa5 a 6ig name in FLARP a while 6ack
6efore he died a rather undignified death in a revenge cycle
mo5tly now he5 an example of the danger of low6lood5 in group5
5o if it5 the 5ame one
and no guarantee that 5he i5
5he5 pherae

[apiarycryptonaut]

Ok4y, yes, th4t's good!
4nd um m4ybe you... c4n help me into... the g4me, yes, m4ybe?
Th4t might work, Duri4n?

4nd um, "Pher4e", ok4y!
I underst4nd, I do!
4nd um, I don't... know 4bout "FL4RP" but... I know dying is... very b4d, it is.

[defensivealchemist]

ye5
i think that wi11 work very we11
i dont 5ee any pro6lem5 with that idea
i11 help you in =:)

You didn't intend to break the order, but you're not going to argue with being presented with such an easy opportunity to get in.

FLARP i5
a popular game
ive never actua11y played 5o dont a5k me to de5cri6e it
try perrix or zurahe or one of them
ye5
dying i5 6ad
dont die
that would 6e a wa5te of a11 thi5 time and effort

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh y4y, yes, good!
Um, I'm not entirely... sure on how it... works so we'll le4rn!
Te4mwork, I think, yes.

4nd um, oh, I... see I think, m4ybe?
I might h4ve to... 4sk them, m4ybe, yes.
So long 4s it... doesn't involve dying, no.

[defensivealchemist]

if learning a5 we go i5 the only relia6le 5ource of information
we11 ju5t have to make more memo5 like the5e to improve everyone5 teamwork

oh it doe5 involve dying
5ometime5
not alway5
6ut enough of the time that you might not want to play it

[apiarycryptonaut]

Th4t sounds re4lly good... I think, m4ybe, yes!
Te4mwork will help everyone... to not die, yes.
Bec4use no one is... 4llowed to die, no.

Oh, th4t's, it's, then...
No no no no.
I don't w4nt to... know 4bout it, no.

[defensivealchemist]

you 5hould make a memo a6out that
>- not allowed to die
ju5t remind everyone to not 6e 5tupid

even though there5 cha11enge5 like riddle5 in it?
there could 6e a ver5ion where ki11ing i5 again5t the rule5

[apiarycryptonaut]

I've told 4 lot... of people, I h4ve.
I think telling everyone... will work re4lly well!
I just h4ve to... tell everyone, yes yes.
But um being stupid... doesn't 4ffect dying, m4ybe?

No no no no.
I don't w4nt to.
It sounds very sc4ry.

[defensivealchemist]

we11
5tupidity doe5nt Directly affect dying
>- 6eing 5tupid =<
mean5 they11 put them5elve5 into 5ituation5 where they11 ea5ily die
without thinking a6out the danger
or a55uming the danger i5nt a5 6ig a5 it i5

[apiarycryptonaut]

But why would 4nyone... ever put themselves in... 4 position like th4t?
Th4t doesn't m4ke 4ny... sense 4t 4ll, no.
Why would 4nyone "be... stupid" 4t 4ll, why?
I don't underst4nd, no.

When I read too much of Avispa's text, I start making 8 and 4 word lines by accident. :|

[defensivealchemist]

i dont think they did it on purpo5e
that5 the whole idea
they did not think
they did 5tupid thing5
and then they died

Yes good; just as planned. :>a

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh oh oh oh.
So 4s long 4s... we think 4nd pl4n... we'll be s4fe, yes.
Th4t's why we need... 4ll the inform4tion too.
Bec4use dying isn't 4llowed.

that quirk's contagious! remember how interested everyone was in yandere!vispa?

[defensivealchemist]

that5 the point of thi5 memo and any like it
learn the danger5
5hare that knowledge with the people we want around

yeeeeep look what you've done

[apiarycryptonaut]

Then I re4lly like... this memo, I do!
This is 4 very... good memo, but um... Duri4n, wh4t do you... me4n by "w4nt 4round"?
We don't w4nt 4nyone... to die 4t 4ll.
Th4t would be b4d!

what i've done? don't pin this on me, blame your green girl :P

[defensivealchemist]

i dont specifica11y want anyone dead
i dont know everyone that they invited
why would i worry a6out complete 5tranger5
that 5ound5 like a wa5te of time and feeling5
