Fandom Gamestuck 2 (A Homestuck AU RP)

[electroShogun]

Years in the past, but not many, two planets, far apart, were linked by fate and a computer game. This game, received by no more than twelve young adults, would determine the fate of the world.


(This is a spiritual successor to the original Gamestuck RP. You need not have participated in the original to participate in this RP. The story will be altogether disconnected from the original.)


(EDIT: Apparently, this isn't something that can go unsaid. MAKE A CHARACTER APPLICATION. If you start posting before I give the okay for your character, you will be REMOVED from the RP, and NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE.)

A young troll stands in their respiteblock, a cozy cave-like block in a cave-like hive on the planet Alternia. Today, the 5th bilunar perigee of the 2nd bright season, is the day of this troll's lusal abandonment. Though it was 7.3 sweeps ago that they were given life, it is only today that they will be given a name!


For convenient reference, 7.3 Alternian solar sweeps is roughly sixteen Earth years.


Also for convenient reference, Earth is a faraway planet that this troll doesn't even know exists.


What will this troll's name be?


ALIEN SCUM X





The troll glares unamused at you. They reach into their jacket and draw out a set of rather sharp claws. You feel it is a good idea to stop messing with them.


FENRAS LUPAGO





Your name is Fenras Lupago. As was previously mentioned, today is the fifth sweep since your Lusus abandoned you. You are still insurmountably bitter about that, which is why you have devoted your life to tracking her down and killing her.


Despite that, you have managed to pick up a few INTERESTS. You enjoy WOODWORKING and CARVING, which is why your respiteblock is filled with wooden figurines. You also REALLY LIKE TO HUNT. Like, REALLY.


You have a few FRIENDS, all of whom you HAVEN'T ACTUALLY MET. You keep in touch through INSTANT MESSAGING. You have been using a new beta chat client named TROLLIAN, and you think it's PRETTY GOOD. Your trolltag is alphaTracker, and you tend to grrrrowl a bit when you speak.





Fenras: Do something


You open up your HUSKTOP and log in to Trollian. Nobody's online... You decide the best course of action is to wait and watch until your prey- er, friends appear.

Yo yo yo, back on the blue marble in a little place called Nevada, a radical dude is chilling in his room. This guy is the bee's knees, with a side of cheese, ready to do whatever he please. The day is young and filled with possibilities, and is currently not dictated by late fees. But before you go doing anything awesome, you got to get yourself a name. No one like in the context of "making a name of yourself", but more as just having a name. People need to call you by something.


So what's gonna be your funky-fresh name?


==> Enter Name.





FUNKY FRESH!!! X


...Well it looks like you decided to get rid of all originality to make this stupid joke. How about you get serious, for a moment, and come up with an ACTUAL name.





DREY SOLOMON ✓


==> Examine Room.


Aah yeah, Drey Solomon is in the house!...Well, that's not true. You live in a UNDERGROUND BUNKER, of all places, but it seems pretty house-like. It has a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room, an armory, everything a regular house has. You even have your own room, which you've filled with 90'S NICK-NACKS AND RETRO ITEMS. You have some more modern stuff, of course, but it's the the 90's junk that you find phat. YOU JUST LOVE 90'S STUFF.


As stated before, your name is Drey Solomon. You are a slammin' dude who is totally the bomb. You are totally NOT A BUZZ KILL, if you do say so yourself, and don't plan on being one any time in the future. To insure this, you when as far as to get yourself a DANK PAIR OF SHADES that you WEAR AT ALL TIMES. What says "not a buzz kill" more than 3d sunglasses? Nothing, your retro-style will never be boring.


Speaking of your retro-style, you do have a tendency to be to get a lot of evita like remarks from others. A word they tend to use around you is "hipster". You know what it means and you tend to get HELLA PISSED, WHEN YOU'RE CALLED A HIPSTER. However, your not going to let that jack your cool right now. Instead you are going to do something rad and not at all time consuming, but what will that be?


==> Drey: Wear your shirt as a cape and go fight crime.


Um, as much as that sounds fun and all, you don't think you're going to do that. It just sounds to silly and inappropriate fo-Hahaha, just kidding, you SO totally do that without any hesitation. You take off your LONG-SLEEVED SHIRT and use it as a cape, pronouncing yourself as the hero this bunker needs. You become none other than the radical Solo Man! You start running around your room, making "woosh" sounds and pretend fighting imaginary baddies.

 

[MoltenLightning]

A rather helpless looking troll stands... Er, rather, lays on the ground in her respiteblock. Today, she really wanted to do what she always did. But, she couldn't do that without a name!


What is this troll's name?


> Uncivilized Defeatist


She looked at you with a small bit of confusion, but shrugged and nodded. Um... How about we retry that?


> Vixnen Triket


There we are! Much better. You are Vixnen Triket. As a rule, you try and keep your time OPEN to prevent ANGUISH from anyone you might know.


You don't have many hobbies, but you do enjoy EXPLORING and DISCOVERY. Though you might not be the BEST at it you certainly TRY to be.


TECHNOLOGY has also FASCINATED you, but you still have almost NO CLUE how to work it. Despite this, a chatting program called Trollian has been really useful for contacting others. Your 'trolltag' was subservientFollower, and you tend to leave caps lock ON WHEN SPEAKING. H was replaced for some... Secret reasons. Either way, that didn't matter.


Your lusus must be out, as you did not hear her occasional shifting around. It was dark in your hive, therefore your eyes have had to adjust to the sudden brightness of your Husktop. You were still lying on your back, but you decided to get up and mount your chair. It seemed someone was online, and your Husktop responded. Unless they talked to you, you wouldn't try bothering them. That was the code, as you had made it.

 

[electroShogun]

Fenras: Spot prey


A notification pops up on your Husktop. Your prey has arrived. You click on her name and go for the attack.


-- alphaTracker [AT] began trolling subservientFollower [sF] --


AT: Hey Vix.





@MoltenLightning

 

[MoltenLightning]

Vixnen: Don't freak out


You don't! Instead, you smile gleefully. Alpha has contacted you, with was nice of them. You promptly reply. Oh geez, you hoped that was an okay response.


SF: |-|I! /-/OW'S IT GOING?

 

[electroShogun]

AT: Not bad.


AT: How arrrre you doing?

A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, January 15th, is this man's half birthday. Currently he doesn't have a lot on his mind, although a certain game will most likely be delivered to him today. What will this young man's name be?


>> Enter name


As you try to enter a name for the young man, he shoots you a disapproving look. He's not going to have any of that pointless shit. Plus, he's already got a name. Any attempts to enter a new one would be pure lunacy.


>> Read Name


Your name is Ryu Haynes. As was mentioned prior, today is your half birthday (although that doesn't mean a whole lot).


You have two major interests, martial arts and robotics, that dominate most of your time. In fact, right now is one of your few moments of relaxation, and you should get back to your studies soon.


Unfortunately, you have a severe case of Disassociative Personality Disorder, which has resulted in the development of a second personality. His name is Kai. He is an asshole. Curiously enough though, your consciousness and his are fully separate allowing you to coexist simultaneously, as well as converse via thoughts (even if the conversation is undesirable).


You maintain a small group of online friends, one of whom shares your Affinity for being charismatic (although he seems much more earnest in his pursuit than you are). Most of your interactions are handled through the messaging client Pesterchum, and your handle for it is bladedPyrotechnics. Overall, you think they're pretty tolerable, but they do on occasion irritate you. Speaking of which, you've been meaning to talk to your friends, and you probably will if you get too bored waiting for the mail.

 

[MoltenLightning]

SF: O|-|! WELL, T/-/AT DOESN'T EXACTLY MATTER BUT


SF: I'M FEELING FINE.


SF: SO, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, T\-\ERE WAS SOME GAME I WAS GETTING IN T\-\E MAIL TODAY.


SF: WERE YOU GOING TO PLAY IT TOO?

 

[electroShogun]

AT: A game?


AT: I wasn't planning on it.


AT: But I guess I could take a little brrrreak frrrrom trrrracking down Rrrrhea.


AT: What is it called?





@MoltenLightning

 

[Nawmoo]

==> Drey: Come back to reality.


Aiight, looks like the bunker is safe once more, no imaginary wrong-doers around to wreak any unwanted havoc. You pat yourself on the back for a job well done, you are a really good super hero. Of course, you wish you had the chance to become a REAL superhero. Perhaps one like your favorite soda-branded vigilante, Pepsi Man. Yeah, that would be so tight! Being a carbonated, no-really caped, crusader would be like a dream come true.


Getting your shirt back on, you decided that maybe you should speak with one of your friends. It has been awhile since you last spoke to any of your online pals and you wish to see how they're doing. You scuttle on over to your RETRO DESKTOP and log on. You see that you've haven't received any messages yet, but you're sure that you'll get some as soon as you send some. You hop onto pesterchum and, for lack of a better term, decide to pester one of your chums.


==> Drey: Pester BP.


-- aceArtillery [AA] began pestering bladedPyrotechnics [BP] --





AA: He-hay, homeslice, what be up dog?


AA: Been like a hella fortnight since we last spoke.


AA: What be happenin'?





@Rhodus

 

[Rhodus Prime]

>>Get pestered


Looks like one of your chums beat you to the punch


BP: Not a whole lot


BP: Although I've noticed that the acronym for my handle and that of British Petroleum are the same


BP: So that's a thing


BP: Mostly just waiting until the game gets here


@Nawmoo

 

[Nawmoo]

AA: Ah dang, totally forgot about that.


AA: Today the game comes out!


AA: What was it called again?


AA: Sburb or something?


AA: Can't really recall.


AA: But hey, it's gonna be so tight!


AA: Can't wait to start playing with you, buddy.


AA: *wink*


@Rhodus

 

[Rhodus Prime]

BP: Yeah, it looks like it'll be good


BP: Hold on a sec I'm going to check if the mail's here


BP: Mail's not here


BP: I just spent 5 minutes in an elevator for nothing


BP: 5 minutes of my free time wasted


BP: Has your copy arrived yet?





@Nawmoo

 

[Nawmoo]

AA: Not really sure.


AA: I'd go check the mailbox, but Boss's probably right outside my door.


AA: I know he's just waiting to throw some paperwork at me.


AA: Probably gonna make me fill them out in triplicate or something so bogus like that.


AA: But dang, I wanna play the game so bad!


AA: *fidgets in seat*


AA: What should I do?


@Rhodus

 

[Rhodus Prime]

BP: See this is why I don't have a normal job


BP: I just make super cool arms and get paid for it


BP: Well design really


BP: Most of the time I'm not actually the one who makes it


BP: I even wear a set that I designed


BP: That's faith in your skill right there


BP: But seriously


BP: Just peek out your window at the mailbox or something





@Nawmoo

 

[Nawmoo]

AA: If I had a proverbial window to peak out of, I would.


AA: ...


AA: Freak it, I'm taking the risk.


AA: Can't let "the man" dictate my life forever.


AA: By the end of today, I'm gonna be playing that game!


AA: I'm going out.


AA: Wish me luck!


-- aceArtillery [AA] ceased pestering bladedPyrotechnics [BP] --


@Rhodus

 

[MoltenLightning]

SF: IT'S CALLED SGRUB. I T|-|INK ITS SOME KIND OF SANDBOX.


SF: IT SEEMED LIKE AN INTERESTING T/-/ING TO DO WIT/-/ EVERYONE AT T-\E TIME, BUT


SF: I'M NOT VERY GOOD AND FIGURING T-\AT OUT ON MY OWN.


SF: WOULD YOU WANT TO TRY IT? I MEAN, YOU DON'T -\AVE TO OF COURSE!


@electroShogun

 

[electroShogun]

AT: I don't see why not


AT: It sounds like it could be interrrresting.


AT: Should we invite AA and BP too?





@MoltenLightning

 

[MoltenLightning]

SF: W-\ATEVER SOUNDS GOOD WIT|-| YOU IS GREAT WIT/-/ ME.


SF: YOU CAN GO A-\EAD AND TELL T|-|EM IF YOU'D LIKE.


@electroShogun

 

[electroShogun]

AT: I'll message them


Fenras: Message other friends


You see that BP is online, but not AA. Oh, well. You'll get AA later.


-- alphaTracker [AT] began trolling bladedPyrotechnics [bP] --





AT: Hey


AT: Have you hearrrrd of a game called Sgrrrrub?





@Rhodus

A young scientist sits at his computer; although nothing action packed was planned today, he feels as though he was forgetting something. Whilst he is busy remembering...


What is this guys name?


Daft Bigot X





Excuse you?!


Drew VanEdwards





Thank you. Your name is Drew VanEdwards and you just remembered the uranium you ordered should be arriving later today. You love receiving packages cause they always include your SCIENTIFIC MATERIALS for your lab. Science is your favorite thing ever and you always have room for everything you order in your LAB CLOSET, which is basically your closet, but transformed into a lab. Aside from science you have recently taken up KNITTING from your mum; unfortunately every time your pops catches you he insults you and then ruins what you did. Such a twat he is.


Other than that you spend quite a bit of time on your computer chatting with your friends on PESTERCHUM. Your chumhandle is quantumGentleman and you love to inform to your friends about your scientific discoveries and the occasional game, that is, when they are on, dang time zones.


What will you do?


>stare into space


You cannot stare into space as it is not night, what kind of idiot does that

 

[Rhodus Prime]

>> Respond to AT


BP: I have heard of a game called sBurb


BP: Is that the game to which you refer?


BP: Or perhaps there are two games bearing similar titles


@electroShogun

 

[electroShogun]

AT: That sounds similarrrr enough to be the same game.


AT: Might be rrrregional title differrrrences.


AT: Anyway me and SF arrrre gonna play it togetherrrr.


AT: Do you want to join us?





@Rhodus

 

[Rhodus Prime]

BP: Yeah I suppose so


BP: Still don't have the game though


BP: Waiting on the postal service currently


BP: I'll let you know when it arrives
