==> Alpha: Be a bunch of trolls.

[apiarycryptonaut]

You attempt to be LYNDIS NIVALI. You fail.

You attempt to be PERRIX SEIYOS. You fail.

You attempt to be ZURAHE CADENS. You fail; and she’s not even in this session!

You attempt to be STRETCH ARMSTRONG.

.... .... .... .... What? You also fail, but what are you trying to do?

You begin being AVISPA KUSBIR simply because it would be PUZZLING for you to be anyone else at the moment. Everyone else is busy being themselves, so you can’t be them! You have successfully gathered with Kalfour Samedi, Perrix Seiyos, Pherae Elapha, Phylus Inatta, and even Durian Agripa! You are all prepared to depart from LOTAC and make your way to LOMAW!

Which you do, quite quickly, realizing that Lyndis Nivali, Zirreh Reevas, and Kaprao Ocimum are all waiting on that very planet. You’re quite certain of their location courtesy of a kind and benevolent pumpk-

What pumpkin?

The only thing that matters is upon your arrival to LOMAW you are quick to inform your party that you are NOT to leave this village! You have arrived in a village, and Kaprao was very specific in telling you not to search through the jungle.

So you stay right here. You also tell Kaprao exactly where you are.


MINUTES IN THE FUTURE, but not many:

The party has gathered! You, as well as Phylus, Perrix, Pherae, Kalfour, and Durian, successfully meet with Lyndis, Kaprao, and Zirreh! Save for a single troll and those you’ve failed to save, all of Alpha is gathered so far!

You decide, before you mingle with everyone, that you’re going to pester Hirune. You hope she’s not lonely, but you’re going to see her soon... with everyone!:


--apiaryCryptonaut [AC] began pestering austereAstronomer [AA]--

AC: Hirune Hirune Hirune Hirune!
AC: We’re 4lmost there, yes!

AT: i cant belieVe you use the word ‘meanies’ with a straight face
AT: i mean were a race of homicidal and frequently insane killing and conquering machines
AT: i dont think ‘meanies’ properly conVeys the threat a troll who actually wanted to cause trouble here would pose
AT: and i know our Vocabularys got way better words to choose from
AT: but in any case i didnt necessarily mean among us
AT: i just meant in general
AT: like yeah technically a group might be more capable of handling threats
AT: but at the same time if the game throws something at us we CANT handle it could literally wipe out our whole session in one fell swoop right now
AT: so ‘together’ and ‘safe’ are not synonyms as i see it

[Action + Memo] - Avispa Kusbir

[apiarycryptonaut]

You are AVISPA KUSBIR and you sure are just sitting on the ground on LOMAW with your CHAIN SKULL sitting behind you! You could be sitting on top of it, but you like it on the ground. Dangling from your mouth is a HONEYCOMB that you are idly nomming on.

You'll gladly talk to any of the other ALPHA PLAYERS who come to you, but at the moment you're checking on your HUSKTOP to talk to others, too! Especially HIRUNE!

[ OOC: Anyone can just respond to this post, Beta/Kids will be assumed to be Memo responses! Alpha can choose Action or Memo. Alternatively Avispa can go invade other threads too. ]

[soundtricks]

all of you
give me
such a massive fucking headache

but a few points:
Lyn, let Phylus do the Hopey thing
Phylus, ignore him, it's better that way
Perrix, you're still a tool


Kusbir
...good job keeping those morons under control, I guess
for certain values of 'under control', that is


--oh♪
and if you have a dreamself on Derse
I'm not sure which one we're going to hit but
I'm kind of going to fly a battleship into your castle
sorry
but ain't even a bit sorry

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh, oh oh oh!
Yes they're 4bsolutely under... control, they 4re, yes!
4nd if they st4rt... being me4nies I c4n... just cube them, y4y!
It's 4 short "time... out" for them, yes!
Lyn knows 4ll 4bout... it now, he does!
But he doesn't need... one 4g4in, m4ybe, no.

At the word "dreamself" in Zurahe's message, though, you lock up for a moment. A number of very, very unpleasant memories flood into your head as you remember something that you'd thought was only a nightmare.

... ... ... ...
Zur4he, I think my... dre4mself w4s killed by...

You hesitate, trying to remember, but you can't. You don't know why, but your memory is so fuzzy about it.

... ... ... ...
... ... ... ...
... by... ... ...
someone... ... ... ...
... ... ... st4bbed...
... ... killed... ...

[soundtricks]

well
that's one way t' deal with them I guess
and I dunno
he's getting a little touchy with phylus there
maybe they both need another to calm their shit down


You consider what you know of the game and what's going on in it now, and you're pretty sure you know what happened to Kusbir's dreamself.

probably a Dersite
wouldn't worry much about 'em
bit off a bit more than they could chew when they attacked prospit


speaking of which
carapaces ain't got skulls
but apparently their heads kinda work a bit like 'em
you want this one I snatched off some big ugly fucker♫

[apiarycryptonaut]

If they're both b4d... then they both go... in the cubes, yes!
So they c4n not... be me4nies 4nymore, no.


But I c4n't do... 4nything to them now.
My dre4mself is de4d!
They just killed me!

You're actually pretty upset about it, and now that you remember it you're frowning... a lot.

... ... ... ...
W4it, wh4t, huh, Zur4he...?
Wh4t do you me4n?
How c4n 4 he4d... not h4ve or be... 4 skull, m4ybe, huh?
They weren't using it?

[Action + Memo] - Lyndis Nivali

[artful_transgressor]

You are LYNDIS NIVALI, and you are also VERY FRUSTRATED.

It's not that you are LITERALLY ALLERGIC to optimism or anything, but you think Avispa's DETERMINED INSISTENCE that you all can handle anything and everything the game throws at you is both INSANE and HIGHLY DANGEROUS. You don't believe that group morale requires IGNORING YOUR LIMITATIONS, or that acknowledging that some things the game does are WELL BEYOND YOUR CAPABILITIES. At the very least, your capabilities thus far. You are fairly certain Avispa is going to BITE OFF MORE THAN SHE CAN MASTICATE sooner or later, and quite possibly drag MOST OF THE GROUP with. Not you, because you're sane, and you have a firm grasp on reality...and, if the SEEMINGLY INEVITABLE occurs, it will likely be YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to avert disaster for your session.

What frustrates you even more than the BLIND OPTIMISM, however, is that you have no idea how you could possibly avert ANY KIND OF DISASTER when it seems like no one in your session except KAPRAO - and maybe ZIRREH - listens to you, or COMPREHENDS you even if they are theoretically listening.

So for now, you are WEDGED somewhere carefully out of the way and minimally visible to the rest of the group, huddled up indian-style on the ground with your HUSKTOP. You actually have a MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE, but whenever you're stationary you prefer to use the HUSKTOP. You've just gotten so used to it over the sweeps, and when you're focused on its screen you can almost FORGET YOUR SURROUNDINGS and feel like you're still back in your CAVE, as though none of this is actually happening.

[Action]

[apiarycryptonaut]

You are AVISPA KUSBIR and you just put a RUBIK'S CUBE right beside LYNDIS as you sit down relatively close to him. You're sure he's going to like it!

Of course, you also have to make sure he knows you're there. So you speak, your tone practically radiating happiness.

Hello there, Lyn, yes! I brought a present!

[Action + Memo]

[flowerwhisperer]

You are KAPRAO OCIMUM and you are currently sorting through all the herbs and plants you plan to bring along with you. There are some bandages covering you, because you do not entirely trust the oh-so-convenient healing this game has provided its players. It goes against your medical philosophy.

Your consorts have probably pestered the other players at least once or twice, and if they actually let them talk at any length they probably started telling stories. They sound more like folklore and are occasionally morbid, but that actually helps cheer you up a little, sometimes.

You have also warned everybody to NOT STEP OUT OF THE FUCKING VILLAGE, albeit not so much in those exact words, but with the same general feeling. If this seemingly blind optimism Avispa is showing says anything, they are more likely to end up dead than anything else.

You do not go into the jungle with high hopes, or any belief that you can handle anything. You just don't, because that is not the same as knowing when you are the one at something else's mercy.

hmmm
have any of you tried experimenting with those hea|th drops you get
when you ki|| under|ings?

[Action]

[apiarycryptonaut]

You are AVISPA KUSBIR and you are completely ignoring the memo right now! More specifically, you're going to do something you promised Kaprao before you even entered the game! Pulling out a very special, very specific gift from your honeycomb modus, you make sure it doesn't have any honey on it before you settle near Kaprao and hold it out.

It is none other than the promised "Kaprao Cube"! A Rubik's cube gift just for Kaprao!

Hello K4pr4o, I c4n fin4lly give this to you, I c4n, yes!

[flowerwhisperer]

hm?

You have to pause to remember this, before you take it from Avispa.

oh, urm
thank you

[apiarycryptonaut]

You can't stop an excited little bounce. You did it, you did it, you did it, you did it! Nothing bad happened! You're even being extra careful to keep your CHAIN SKULL from moving where it's sitting about sixteen feet to the left. You know it wants to be close by you or chomping on imps, but you don't want to scare Kaprao!

I kept it s4fe!
So now it's yours!
I'm gl4d we found... you 4nd everyone, yes!
4nd th4t you're s4fe!

[austereastronomer]

I'm glad things are proceeding smoothly.
I think I'll manage to hold out until all of you arrive.
...although come to think of it, I should probably rearrange the furniture.

[apiarycryptonaut]

Y4y, th4t's good, yes!
I'm gl4d, I 4m!
4lso I c4n m4ke... 4 puzzle for you!
I think you'd like... it, prob4bly, 4bsolutely, yes!
Oh oh oh oh!
4lso, um, I could... m4ybe m4ke more room... in your hive m4ybe?
If you h4ve enough... grist, th4t is, yes.
More rooms out or... up or 4round, m4ybe!

Admittedly, you've been hesitant to add much as a server player because you weren't at all sure what Hirune wanted! ...and then you got distracted. Whoops. But while you're resting on Kaprao's planet, you could totally help!

[austereastronomer]

I would quite like a puzzle, I think.
...thank you.

Oh, and if you have the time, making more room would... probably be very helpful.
I should have enough grist; one thing this planet is good for is pit traps, it seems.
A couple wider floors on top or building out from the ground floor would make sense.
It's not as if the aesthetics really matter.
I haven't really done...
...well, any entertaining since I built this hive, so there's not much room.

[apiarycryptonaut]

I think I h4ve... 4 bunch you would... like, prob4bly, I think?
I'll pick one, or... um, m4ybe give you... four of them, yes!
Th4t might be good!
So you h4ve choices.

4nd oh, ok4y, yes!
I c4n do th4t!
Th4t w4y we're not... crowding you, I think?
More room is m4ybe... better, I think, yes?

Already, you are hard at work adding to Hirune's hive. You take special care not to obstruct the center, which seems to have a perfect upward view, and opt to build around it. You... actually build three floors above Hirune's hive, each with four rooms coming off of them. Four floors, four main areas, four rooms extending off of each floor. That's sixteen total rooms with four areas to mingle in... and they all have a balcony to lean out and look up or down to the other floors from; or a balcony off of the rooms to look out on Hirune's planet!

Of course, you also add stairs, and then you decide to contact Hirune again. You are so proud of yourself. Also you've done a good job making it aesthetically pleasing, even though you weren't trying.

Oh, um, I think... I m4ybe solved th4t!
There's lots of room!
Four floors, sixteen rooms!
I c4n 4dd more... or ch4nge things, m4ybe?

[action]

[bizango]

You are KALFOUR SAMEDI and you are TERRIFIED and ANGRY. Turns out being around such a large group of trolls is a little more then you thought you could handle, particularly since three of them are highbloods and one of them is Lyndis. Maybe being a hermit in your ghost town didn't do you quite as much good as you thought if this is enough to make you feel completely, totally unsafe.

So you decide to be ANDEZO instead of racing haphazardly into the trees for some kind of cover like Kaprao told you all not to. Now you feel quite a lot more confident! You aren't hiding in a corner avoiding the memo anymore so much as letting your curiosity guide you to the edge of the village, looking at the trees... making idle conversation with Kaprao's consorts. You imagine Avispa can get her point across without your help and so you can sit and listen to the various stories they tell you, keeping an eye everyone from a little distance. You hardly want to disturb anyone with the distressing state of your host's brain after all. Eventually this will pass and Kalfour will be better suited to dealing with them all, you hope.

[action]

[apiarycryptonaut]

You, being AVISPA KUSBIR, are a CURIOUS LITTLE BEE and aren't one to ignore your fellow trolls! In fact, when you see Kalfour away at a distance you make it a point to go over to him to make sure everything is okay! After all, this world is way, way way way different than the one he's from. Hopefully he's okay! He's been really quiet, when you think about it! You're a little worried when you ask.

Oh, um, K4lfour, hello!
4re you ok4y, m4ybe?

[bizango]

Oh you are a little surprised when she approaches! You thought you'd mostly be left to your own devices to be honest. But this is alright. She seems a kind enough girl so you smile easily at her, leaning back to smile up at her from where you're sitting on a bit of wood.

*f c*urse avispa
+theres n* reas*n +* w*rry ab*u+ me
in fac+ - why d*n+ y*u +e|| me h*w y*uve been ins+ead

[apiarycryptonaut]

You blink at Kalfour's response. And then you blink again. And once more. For one, he's smiling. For two, he's certainly seeming a lot happier. You're not sure why, but he seems to be in a really good mood.

Oh, um, I see?
I thought something w4s... m4ybe wrong, or, m4ybe?
But if you're ok4y.
4nd um, w4it, me?
Huh, um, w4it, huh?

You're really not used to answering how you are, no one really asks. How... do you answer that? You need a little bit of time to think about your answer.

[flowerwhisperer]

...Oh, it's Kalfour.

You remember the last conversation you had with him, and how that ended. Haha. You figure you should at least apologise for stepping out of line there, so you approach him.

Awkwardly, that is. You and people and talking...

urm...

[bizango]

It takes you a moment to recognize his red, but the moment you do, you're smiling brightly at him. Trying to be reassuring when he looks... well... rather battered by your estimate.

[Action + Memo] - Durian Agripa

[defensivealchemist]

You are DURIAN AGRIPA and you FINALLY CAUGHT UP with the group back on LOTAC. You barely made it before Avispa herded you all to LOMAW.

Hopefully no one has noticed the LOOKS you keep giving Perrix. No one told you to wander around LOAAR alone. You think a few of the memos that you skimmed told everyone not to go alone. It was your own fault. And yet you keep GLARING at Perrix. If he hadn't told you about the GRIST DROPS, you wouldn't have SIDETRACKED with so many side quests on your trip.

You know you're being RIDICULOUS. If it wasn't for Kappy's MYSTERIOUS MISSIVE, you would be wandering off on more needless side quests to get away from your fellow blueblood. Without that option, you DECAPTCHALOGUE your HUSKTOP and stare at it instead.

You are AVISPA KUSBIR and you totally just interrupted Durian mid-glare. Literally you just jumped in front of his face and smiiiiiiiiled. It's easier to smile and be happy! So you're going to ask, curiously, what's wrong!

Hello there, Duri4n, hello!
Um, wh4t 4re you... looking 4t so intently?
Is it Perrix, m4ybe?
He's 4lre4dy bl4ck for... someone you know, yes!
You looked 4 little... m4d, m4ybe, I think?
Or 4 little disturbed!
Or m4ybe confused, yes?
Or, oh, m4ybe sc4red?

So um, wh4t 4nd... how were you looking?

[defensivealchemist]

Nobody expects sudden Avispa in their face. It's completely excusable that you nearly dropped your husktop as you jolted back. Especially if you captchalogue it before it hits the ground.

why would you even think that

For the love of alchemy, quickly, deflect her train of thought.

You tilt your head and examine Avispa. Surely not her...?
