You are a BOY named Donald Thomas. Your CHAT HANDLE is cracking Lucidity.
You have a variety of INTERESTS such as ENTOMOLOGY, the study of insects.
You also have a soft spot for TOMFOOLERY, HIJINKS, AND OTHER SUCH THINGS.
With that said, you don't really prank people or anything in real life, because you are far too LAZY. As such, you mostly just resort to trolling on websites like REDDIT to fill your pranksters gambit.
Your true passion however, would have to be ANALYZING TERRIBLE MEDIA. You must have rewatched Garzey's Wing like five times by now, and every single time you managed to crank out like five pages about why everything in the show is wrong in every possible way and makes you rage like crazy. You also follow the world-famous comic, "Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff", and many other things of the sort.

If asked to describe yourself in terms of physical and mental abilities, you would say that you are NOT VERY STRONG (2 MANGRIT), you're the guy who always had to resort to weird tricks to open jars and stuff, you know?

And you aren't a particularly STUDY person either (2 GEL VISCOSITY). over you course of your childhood (you are thirteen right now by the way) you have gotten sick at least a few times a year, and even broke a bone once when you fell off a bike.

As for your LUCK, you... well, it's probably not even a thing that is real, and is fake as shit, like magic (2 LUCK). But if it was real, you would say you have a little less of it than most people.

But your mental abilities are where you truly shine (4 MIND). You get mostly A's in school, and have little difficulty understanding complex things. I mean, you're no prodigy or anything, but you are certainly above average.

Well. With that out of the way, may as well describe how you LOOK as well. (Clothing, facial features, hair and eye color, etc. Not sure how important this will be, as the author is NOT AN ARTIST, but it will be good info to have I think, just in case it winds up being relevant. )

Alright then! Now with all of that finally done...

What will you do?
After all, it's going to take at least a minute or two to get the game downloaded and installed. may as well go do something while you wait!

You are in your room, sitting at your desk. Your room contains a desk and chair, with a rather low-end PC sitting on it. You have a bed, a window... all the things one would expect to find in the average teens room.
You have a two shelves with a variety of things related to your interests, and a few posters hanging from your wall.

Feel free to examine one of things in your room in greater detail, or to exit your room and explore your house a bit, or you could go chat up one of your friends through Pesterchum.
Or you could do something else I guess, if you can think of something else you would rather do.

You walk over to a shelf and look at your insects.

You have a few terrariums, an ant colony, a bunch of bug-related books...
The ant colony is pretty annoying though. It's like... It lights up sometimes in bright green flashes? You don't see any way to take batteries out of it though. Or any place in it that could even contain batteries at all. Or really anything that could be causing it.
Oh, and you also collect butterflies. You have quite a few varieties.

Don't mind me.

"Sburb box"? What box?
You just bought it off of steam. You know, the game distribution service?
I mean, no way that Valve would forget to put up it's latest game on steam.

Still, you decide to pester her.

>>1816237
And to finish up an %100% ORigONAL OC DOONOT STEAL you were working on earlier. But where to post it...?

---crackingLucidity(CL) began pestering twinklingConciousness(TC) at ??:??---

CL: Hey, I got the game.
TC: Great! Mine finished downloading a minute ago. Just loaded it up!
TC: It's weird tho. Its like... it brought up a command prompt?!?!?!
CL: Huh.
TC: And also, it looks like its multiplayer only???
CL: Um. Duh. The steam store page said about as much.
TC: Oh, I didnt read it cuz I didnt want to get spoiled.
CL: Hah! You shouldn't have bothered avoiding them. There aren't any!
CL: Seriously, I tried looking for any info i could on this, but I couldn't find anything!
CL: It has one of the most sparse steam pages that I've ever seen! It's super vague about everything.
CL: And the trailer? It didn't even have any in game footage.
TC: Well whatever!!! Its made by valve so it must be rich with story!
CL: I'm more interested by the story "of" the game, than I am the story "in" the game.
CL: I mean, only a few days after finding out that Half-Life 2 Episode 3 isn't happening, we get a brand new Valve game that seems completely unrelated to anything they have ever made?
CL: Like, from what info I was able to glean from the store page, it's some kind of fantasy house simulator?
CL: I'm sure it will be good. But I think it's really weird...
CL: Oh. And I forgot about the price.
CL: Why. The. Hell. Is Valve just giving this away for free?
TC: Maybe its an apology for the halflife situation?
CL: Perhaps. Anyway, it's finished downloading on my computer. Give me a moment.

You load up the game, and a command prompt opens.
It gives you the choice to be "Server player" or a "Client player". You guess this basically translates to "host game" and "join game", but it's pretty vague.
What will you pick?

Oh, and is there anything you want to do before you start?

>>1816327
Join the game. You wanted to play this game since day one, no way are you going to watch someone else play it. This isn't twitch.

Give in your spoiler urges and look up guides for the game.

>>1816327
Join the game and post the %100% origibal OC on tumblr(or fumblr, the HS equivalent) with bajillion of tags(especially #anime, #lgbt and #dreamworks)

>>1816357
It just came out. You bought it the moment it did. You HIGHLY doubt that anyone has made any guides for it yet.

You decide to join the game.
...
Uh. Okay. Looks like it's waiting for a server player to connect to?

CL: Hey, can you host the server?
TC: Sure!

Ah there it goes. It's connecting now... Wait what?
It'... connecting?
You didn't input an IP or click on an option or anything! I just automatically connected you to someone? What the hell?
You had been hoping to play this with your friends...
Well, perhaps not being able to talk to the person you're playing with is part of the gam-

*THUMP*

You turn your head.
Yep. Okay. Part of your wall is now jutting out above your bed.
You calmly inhale, and exhale. You are not panicking.
Not at all.
Not even a tiny bit.
...
WHAT THE FUCK! WHY IS YOUR WALL DOING THAT

CL: Holy shit.
TC: I know right! These are by far the BEST GRAPHICS IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!
CL: No! Not the game! My wall is like, jutting out or something?
TC: What?
TC: Wait.
TC: Hey, does your shirt have a symbol on it?
CL: Uh. Yes? How in the fuck is that related to our present situation.
TC: Please dont use that word.
CL: Sorry. But I think in this case, it's warranted!
TC: Is the symbol a butterfly with a skull for a head?
CL: I
CL: What.
CL: How did you know that?

*THUMP*
You turn your head once more. The wall has gone back to normal.

TC: Hey, did you see that! Your wall is normal now, right?
CL: Yes? How did you do that.
TC: I think... The game is letting me see you!!! And I can do stuff to your house!!!
CL: What.


How do you react to this?

Your FATHER is probably in the living room, or the basement. Probably making one of his weird experiments again.

>>1816461
You are not so retarded as to waste time doing that in this situation.
You do, however, consider captchalogueing your bedding. just in case it gets blocked again. And you do freak out a bit, but you don't need a sheet for that.
Now what was your modus again...?

>>1816462
CL: Is this in real time, or is there a delay?
TC: What?
CL: Are you seeing everything I'm doing as I'm doing it, or is it taking a moment to catch up?
TC: Hmm...
TC: Send me another message.
CL: Okay?
TC: I saw you hit enter right as I got that, so yeah, I dont think theres a delay.
TC: Why???
CL: Just trying to figure out how this works exactly.
CL: so many things about this situation are just blatantly impossible.
CL: Can you see my entire house? Or just my room?
TC: Your entire house! And a bunch outside. But it seems I cant go see off of the property.
TC: Oh, and I can only manipulate things close to you.
TC: Hang on, going to drop something in your room.
CL: Your going to what now?

*PLINK*

A captchalogue card bursts into existence in the center of your room.

CL: What is this?
TC: The game calls it a pre-punched card. It was with a bunch of other items. All the others looked really big though, so lets check this one out first!

>>1816604
You consider telling her not to look in the basement, but honestly you don't think your father's creations are THAT horrifying. I mean, sure, they look a bit CREEPY and are a total WASTE OF MONEY but like. Whatever.

Anyway.
What will you do with the pre-punched card? And what is your modus?

>>1816677
Oh. I guess I should make this clear, you don't have an apple on your pre-punched card. The images i use are just anything I can find that seems vaguely related to the situation at hand.

>>1816677
>You clearly use the TOP QUALITY modus of any TERRIBLE MEDIA CRITIC, the REEL MODUS.
>Uh, wut. Captchalogue it?

>>1816677
>Obviously, there's only one Modus that's hipster enough to be worthy of your use as a POST-MODERN MEDIA ADJUDICATOR: the NORMAL HUMAN POCKET MODUS

>Ask TC what the hell you should do with this card.

>>1816677
I'll vote for REEL MODUS.

Check out the card, what does it have on it? Also ask TC what else she has to drop im here.

>>1816760
>>1816897
You captchalogue the card in your REEL MODUS. As someone who watches so much terrible media, it just felt fitting, you know? The reel modus is able to have it's items retrieved from any card, like the wallet modus. However, if something is far from the card you last retrieved an item from, you must "rewind" or "fast forward" the reel. This means that in a tense situation, you may not have time to get to the item you need.

CL: And... what am I supposed to do with this?
TC: I dunno. I was kinda hopin that you could take the item out?
CL: The card has holes in it. How in the shit am I supposed to do that.
TC: Well can you at least tell me whats on the card???
TC: I couldnt make it out just looking at it in the menu.
CL: Looks like a bright cyan gift box.
CL: Can you give me the other items? Perhaps those will make this make more sense.
CL: Somehow.
TC: Uh... these things are pretty huge. Where should I put them???
CL: Is the backyard big enough?
TC: Oh yeah. Hang on.

You hear three distant thumps.
You captchalogue your CELL PHONE so that you can still talk to TC, and head out to investigate.
You move quickly through the house, having long since grown adept at avoiding stepping on your father's garbage... err... """inventions""".
With any luck, you will be able to avoid him today. But on the off chance that things did come to a strife, what do you have in your strife specibus?

You manage to avoid a strife, and your father in general. He must be busy with his experiments or something.
If it had come to that, you of course had your sai's at the ready.
Man, they are so freaking cool. like someone mixed a katana and a dagger or some shit.

Anyway, you make it outside, and are presented with three large machines.

CL: Woah.
TC: Yeah.
CL: What are these?
TC: From left to right: cruxtruder, totem lathe, and alchemiter.
CL: Well. Alright then.

Well. You... have these now? What do?

You pull up the subreddit for the game. It is COMPLETE chaos. Thread after thread made in a panicked rush as everyone tries to figure out what is even happening. One of the mods made a sticky post though. Opening it up, it seems to be the mod just venting and being insane like everyone else.

You resolve to write up a proper guide once you figure it all out.

Welp, random experimentation it is!
You turn the valve on the machine. Something clangs at the top.
It seems to have a lid... Oh boy, it's really stuck on there.
