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!:


( 1-1 Hirune Pester! )

- = = = = = - = = = = = -

HOURS IN THE FUTURE, but not many:

--apiaryCryptonaut [AC] RIGHT NOW opened memo 4lmost there, y4y, yes! --

( Memo to ALL SESSIONS )

[ OOC: BETA/KID Players can respond to the memo! Hirune can respond to the Memo and/or Avispa's 1-1! ALPHA Players can respond to the memo or to anyone responding to the memo or interact in-person! ]

You get the feeling that there are a lot more players than you thought, before. You'd really like to get around to meeting them. With the interesting things you've seen so far, you think it'd be a great idea to learn about everyone you're playing this game with! Proper manners, proper manners. You read about this, so here goes!

-- apiaryCryptonaut [AC] RIGHT NOW opened memo hello hello hello hello players, nice to meet all of you, yes! --

AC: Oh, um, hello everyone!
AC: Hirune, K4pr4o, Phylus, Duri4n... Zirreh, Fr4nke, In4nn4, 4nd... others, too, I think!

AC: 4nd um, now it's... flo4ting 4round 4nd glowing.
AC: Is th4t norm4l, m4ybe?

You wake from sleep in a cold sweat, and go immediately to your husktop, typing out a memo in spite of your hands shaking. If you haven't just gone COMPLETELY INSANE, there's no time to lose.

-- CURRENT austereAstronomer [AA] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board Alpha Team, this is very important! --

CAA: I believe at the moment we are down to four players.
CAA: I haven't been able to reach Phaest in some time and I am starting to fear the worst has happened.
CAA: And... based on some information passed on to me,

...hopefully no one will ask from where.

CAA: I think it may be necessary to bring other players into the game.

acuminousInnovator [IM] at ?:?? opened memo on board ( teamProgress1 )

AI: { I trust that entry Into the game Is goIng well }
AI: { not to be overbearIng but I would lIke to hear the status of all trolls who are partakIng In the game }
AI: { so that we are on the same page }
AI: { I told you all earlIer but I wIll repeat myself because It Is Important }
AI: { we must adhere to the schedule laId out prevIously }
AI: { If we were to skIp someone or not complete the chaIn }
AI: { It would not end very well }
AI: { so please be prompt and alert me to your status as soon as Is possIble }


Well! You think that was a pretty succinct and leader-ly memo. Good job you! Now, time to get down to some real business. You have been meaning to do this ever since Kaprao told you about these "other players" but with meteors, then entering the game, then basic questing... Well, let's just say it's hard being such a busy troll!

But now the issue has your undivided attention. With a bit of fancy coding you create a new memo board. This one is open to all trolls who have SCRIB installed on their hard drive. Next, you eliminate the computers that bear the Troll IP addresses of your teammates, and... It's done! Six handles, huh? You can already feel your green blood start to bubble in anticipation.

acuminousInnovator [IM] at ?:?? opened memo on board ( InvaderWarning )

AI: { hello }
AI: { your secret has been compromIsed }
AI: { as creator of thIs game I wIll exercIse my authorIty and ask all who are readIng thIs memo }
AI: { to unInstall thIs game at once and stop playIng }

So you've recently discovered some surprising news, and while you are RELIEVED you are also VERY CONFUSED. You had assumed there were only nine of you on the team, as of the last memo. None of the others mentioned anyone else. So what the hell is going on?

It's time to ask some questions.

passiveSampler [PS] at ?:?? opened memo on board urm guys p|ease |ook at this.

PS: urm
PS: did anyone of you give out the game to anyone e|se
PS: because it seems that we have more p|ayers than we thought

ALL RIGHT. Today is the day, which is to say, TODAY IS THE DAY THAT THE WORLD ENDS. All in all, it's a pretty big day for you.

Despite the fact that this is like YOUR WRIGGLING DAY COME EARLY, though, you approach it with some apprehension. Not only do you not know what's ahead of you, but even though you don't like many of your people, you still feel KIND OF BAD. You're not HEARTLESS, you just have VERY HIGH STANDARDS.

Regardless, if you want a real shot at actually getting to RE-MAKE THE UNIVERSE ACCORDING TO YOUR IDEALS, you're going to have to make sure this whole thing goes well. You're still not sure why Phaest is bringing along some of these assholes, but you're going to do your damnedest to make sure your group wins this game.

Hence:

AA at ?:?? opened memo on board SCRIB PLANNING AND ORGANIZATION.

AA: All right.
AA: It's time to get down to business.
AA: Where does everyone stand with readiness at this juncture?

Use this post to mingle and meet with each other! For the coding to make your tags MSPA-style use the box below:

<b><font face="courier,monospace" color="#HEX">

There is no set time line for these interactions but the game has not been launched yet and no one but the Beta(s) should know they are prepared to hack the game. For human/troll interactions try to keep I AM AN ALIENNNN to a minimum, or at least be realistic--would YOU believe someone was an alien if the IM'd you and told you they were?

This iteration of the mingle post will include sections for each team to help everyone figure out what do! You don't need to reply to these but I think it might be helpful c: You may create your own sections for your characters as well!
