[OPEN] MERZET: DREAM

Merzet: Dream

Oh no, you fell asleep again! This is bad bad bad bad. You will have to be more vigilant in the future when it comes to staying awake. Although recently you have been told you should try to UTILIZE YOUR DREAMS FOR THE GREATER GOOD. A truly shocking notion to be told...

You DREAM (aka NIGHTMARE) has left you rather exhausted. Or perhaps it's because you have not been sleeping well for the LAST THREE SWEEPS of your life. Either way you decide to try and forget about meteors and other such shocking things and instead GET READY. Today is the day that PHAEST has told you to prepare for. You have quite predictably not done so.


The first thing you decide to do is sign onto TROLLIAN. You should really check on your LUSUS but he's probably just walking around on the ceiling somewhere.


meticulousPedicure has signed on.

You maybe feel a little bad that the last time you talked, you sort of got really mad at him. So you will try extra hard to be nice and sensitive today. After all who wants to start off a GREAT BEGINNING with BAD BLOOD?

{ so }

What would a nice person say next? This is harder than it looks.

{ you just woke up yes }
{ dId you awake feelIng rested }

You are suddenly reminded that you haven't had anything to eat or drink for a while! It would be best to follow AA--PHAEST'S advice, probably.

AI is attempting to send you SCRIB and SCRIB_clIent

[footkind]

SCRIB... So this has been the source of all your woes and sleepless nights. You feel a bit apprehensive accepting it, but you're sure the consequences of refusing it would be even worse. You decide to accept the file.

[acuminous]

{ I am too excIted to sleep }
{ perhaps once everyone has the game on theIr computer }

{ and brIef them on a few thIngs }

[footkind]

BRIeF Us?

[acuminous]

{ on a few vItal facts }
{ that everyone should know before we enter the game }

[footkind]

[acuminous]

{ yes and no }
{ you wIll receIve InstructIons on thIngs lIke how we wIll enter the game }
{ and basIcs about the nature of the game }
{ but not only do I want to leave some thIngs as a surprIse }
{ there are also some matters where I do not know what to expect eIther }

[acuminous]

{ It Is a lIttle complIcated but I wIll try to explaIn }
{ a lot of the code In the game Is set merely to create varIables that are based on the troll that enters the game }
{ so therefore there are a lot of unknowns untIl the actual players enter }
{ and the game completes Itself }
{ I guess a good analogy would be }
{ I have buIlt the framework for a hIve }
{ but If you were to look at It you would not know exactly what shape It Is supposed to be }
{ when the player enters the game }
{ the walls are fIlled In }
{ and the hIve Is complete }
