A young woman stands in her bedroom. Today is the 13th of April, 2009, a day of little special significance to this young woman. The only thing that might make this day particularly important is that it is three days after the predicted arrival of the beta release of a computer game that this young woman has been anxiously anticipating. In just a short while, she will begin playing this game with her friends, and they will find it to be much, much more than any of them could have expected or imagined.

But of course, they don't know any of that yet.

Now, where were we? Ah, yes--introducing this young woman, whose name is...

Is...

Actually, you've quite forgotten. What was her name again?

Josclyn "Joss" Scheer

[Amaril]

Josclyn Scheer


Okay, that'll work.

Your name is JOSCLYN, though you usually just go by JOSS, and you mean BUSINESS!

Or you will once you get out of high school, get through college, and start working your way up the corporate ladder with your knack for ECONOMIC ACUMEN. You grew up in the boom-times of the late 1990's and early turn of the century under the single-parent tutelage of a major name in early ELECTRONIC NETWORKING, and being the heir to one of the big movers in the dot-com rush has had quite the influence on you where Keynesian ideology and capitalistic culture are concerned. The last year's events have only cemented the idea that the world clearly needs your expertise.

You spend an awful lot of time on the INTERNET though, looking up the latest NEWS to keep up with the world (or so you say; really, though, a lot of it's just messing around and playing GAMES). In particular, you're all kinds of excited about the new SBURB BETA that'll be coming your way soon! Or at least, you hope so--it's already been three days since the predicted arrival date. Not much for it but to keep waiting, you suppose.

What will you do?

[Feralventas]

>Quack like a duck and-

wait no that's stupid and wasting time.


>Pester pals to see if they've gotten the New Stuff in yet or if you're the only one Waiting On Fedex

[Amaril]

Joss: Pester pals to see if they've got the new stuff in yet or if you're the only one waiting on FedEx.


You pull up to your computer and open up your Pesterchum chat client to scope out your pals. A substantial number of them are online. Whom do you want to pester?

==> Dash for the door, get the thing!

Joss: Dash for the door, get the thing!

Recovering from the spill you took over your computer's power cable, you execute a textbook LASS SCAMPER over to the door, narrowly managing not to trip again on any of the numerous other wires and cables scattered around the apartment. You're in luck--it would appear your UNCLE has already signed off on the delivery, and left it by the door for you to recover. Two envelopes sit on the shelf, each bearing one of the two versions of the SBURB LOGO.

[Feralventas]

[LordChaos13]

Joss: ===> Keep rhyming like that

[Amaril]

Joss: Can't get caught nabbing, supposed to be sick and napping, sneak and do the grabbing!

Feeling particularly proud of those AWESOME RHYMES you just pulled, you employ some of your NINJA SKILLS to stealthily nab the ENVELOPES.

You got the SBURB BETA!

Your UNION FETCH MODUS immediately combines the two very similar items. Looks like it just put them both in the same envelope. Good thing it didn't do anything else to them, or you might have had to order another copy.

[Feralventas]

>can't wait on administa-
tion gotta set up the game station and link up with other pals in this situation. Also briefly praise powers that be for not fusing your game.

[Amaril]

Joss: Can't wait on administration gotta set up the game station and link up with other pals in this situation.


Per your increasingly awkward rhymes, you return to your room and retrieve both DISCS from their now shared envelope. Like the original packaging, each disc bears one of the two SBURB LOGOS--one has the SKAIANET SPIROGRAPH, the other the SBURB HOUSE DESIGN. You have no idea what each one is for. Which one do you want to try first?

[Amaril]

Joss: Boggle in maddening confusion at the DOS interface, then switch discs.


The house-logo disc brings up a similar window, though it looks like all the instances of "client" were replaced with "server", and vice-versa. The first window remains open in the background after you take out its disc.

You hear a chime from your Pesterchum. Someone else is messaging you.

[Feralventas]

>Realize mistake, switch back to Client with realization that Server probably means Person Running This Stuff and that's no good yet.

You cannot run SBURB until you have established a connection with a SERVER, whatever the hell that means. Maybe you should check Gamefaqs, or ask someone if they know anything about it?

[Feralventas]

Drat and Blast!
==> Check digital compendium of infinite knowledge!

[Amaril]

Joss: Check digital compendium of infinite knowledge!

You open up your AEOLUS web browser and hit up Gamefaqs for some assistance. Unfortunately, there isn't much to be found yet--what few walkthroughs there are now are all extremely short and horrendously written, and you feel a little dumber just looking at them. However, from amidst all the gibberish, you eventually manage to discern that the two discs that came with the BETA are the SERVER COPY and CLIENT COPY. Looks like you're currently running the CLIENT, and need to connect to someone with the SERVER installed to play the game.

Looks like someone else is pestering you now.

That's better.

Your name is RENO FALCONI, ya mooks. You are a descendant of the infamous FALCONI FAMILY, known for their connection to the CHICAGO MOB, the same one historically led by AL CAPONE. As far as you can tell, however, your family is just the mild-mannered owners of a chain of ITALIAN RESTAURANTS. The connection is even less likely seeing as how you live just outside of MADISON, which frankly is not that close to Chicago. But, man, do you wish the rumors were true! You've always really liked stories of SUIT WEARING MEN placing CEMENT SHOES on people who dared to intrude on their CRIMINAL EMPIRE, hence your fondness for PINSTRIPE SUITS and your preferred Strife specibus allocation of TOMMYGUNKIND. Sometimes you feel like you’re just ALLERGIC TO THE AIR, when in fact you’re just allergic to EVERY GODDAMN THING IN THE AIR. And some things NOT IN THE AIR. Because of this combined with your hyper-paranoid and overprotective SISTER, your only real friends are your internet pals.

A young man stands in his highly secured bedroom. The exact location of the home that contains this bedroom is CLASSIFIED, but for our purposes it doesn't really matter. What does matter is the MISSION this young man has recently received. Of course, the MISSION is also CLASSIFIED, but if you had the proper clearance, you'd know that it involved the BETA RELEASE of a certain highly-anticipated COMPUTER GAME that occurred three days ago. A mission such as this is a job for an ELITE AGENT, and such an agent needs a cool NAME. Of course, this young man's name is also CLASSIFIED, so you might as well just make up something else to call him now. Who knows, maybe you'll guess his real name right anyway--not that you'd ever know if you did.

Your name is KYLE HOBBS. You are a WANNABE SUPERSPY living in an abandoned former MILITARY BASE that got shut down because of SUPERVILLAIN PLOTS, or so you like to think. Over the years, you've trained yourself in all kinds of TOTALLY REAL MARTIAL ARTS and learned all about GADGETRY from the base's central COMPUTER. The entire complex is your playground, where you have free reign to do whatever you want, which usually involves SCIENCE or SPY TRAINING. You also like to watch SPY MOVIES of all sorts, and take copious amounts of notes that you constantly pester your INTERNET FRIENDS with. When they're not around, you sometimes upload your notes as REVIEWS.

Your old friend MR.

You retrieve the as-yet-incomplete mess of parts that is your newly-obtained SUPERCOMPUTER. There's nothing particularly SUPER about it, really, but you spent a lot of money ordering the extra parts, and you figure it deserves some special recognition to justify the investment. You bring it over to your ALREADY-ASSEMBLED laptop to work on it.

Before his friend's hasty EGRESS, he had, somewhat reluctantly, agreed to participate in the game, not knowing the consequences that agreement would have...

Pretty much every room in your GRANDMA's house has a computer in it--really, the only reason this one is yours is because it happens to be the one in your room. The old lady REALLY likes technology. In fact, the copy of the SBURB BETA currently sitting on your DESK was originally hers, but she insisted on giving it to you after her own machine suffered an unfortunate DISC DRIVE MALFUNCTION. You don't really see much point--you're not that into video games. A glance around your room will reveal instead that your primary interest is MUSIC.

So, I was actually thinking a bit...... And I figured out a reason for Dan to be Knight of Rage, though specifically rage. Her parents had abandoned her due to being terrible, as stated before, and she's really angry at said parents for screwing that up. Also, I had a brain along the lines of mother having done a load of drinking and doing of drugs whilst pregnant, causing some medical issues for Dan. Oh, also, more medical issues due to having been fed alchohol(or however you spell that word) to keep quiet while parents go do their normal shtuffs. Sound decently okay?

Joss: Flail on the keyboard and check for options.

You FLAIL ABOUT on your KEYBOARD and attempt to make something happen, but it's no good--not so much as a GUI in sight.

[LordChaos13]

===> Bash keyboard trying to make it not as crap!
===> Kyle used ServerCD on Damn Computer! It's Super Effective

[Al Capwn]

===>Be angry at Kyle

[Al Capwn]

===>Be annoyed at Kyle Then Fume.

[Amaril]

Kyle: User server CD on computer.


You pop in the SERVER DISC and see what happens.

Huh...nothing interactable. Just a DOS window saying something about establishing a connection with a CLIENT.

Maybe something got left out of your BRIEFING?

[Amaril]

Reno: Check bedroom.


You cautiously open the door just a crack and peer through.

The lights are off in the BEDROOM, and it doesn't look like anyone's in there. She must be in some other room, or out of the APARTMENT. Probably the latter, since she never leaves without making sure you still have the right ARTIFACTS in your EMERGENCY RESPONSE MODUS. God, how stupid does she think you are? Like you can't take care of yourself for a freaking hour while she goes grocery shopping. Jesus f***ing Christ.

===> Reno: Peek into the kitchen.

[LordChaos13]

===> PesterBrief Maam on the current developments

[Feralventas]

===> Joss: Calm yourself, look over the program carefully, sigh and look out the window wondering why games are hard and no one understands.
