After a good five minutes of freshening up and just generally making yourself look better than a hot pile of steaming trash, you smirk, and turn the lights on in the bathroom.
Because yes, you can get ready in the dead of night without the lights on.
Don't judge me. I'm the one who's writing this.
But either way, as your eyes adjust, you put on your glasses, and look yourself over...
…
IT'S YOU!
As you exit the bathroom, you hear a small ding noise from your desktop. Looks like SBURB has finished downloading!
But you also wonder if Grey_Wiz is back online yet...
-----------------------------------------------
You are standing in your bathroom, with a stylin' new outfit.

Oh yeah! Speaking of the computer, you wonder if your pal is on yet?
You quickly throw your PAJAMAS in the HAMPER, and slide into the chair of your desk.
You minimize the ARCADE download window, and check your EVERYMAN LIST, where you can see your friends on the internet.
Oh! Grey_Wiz is on!
You click CONNECT...

joan_of_arc_III: oh, you mean the stripes_'n_bells guy?
Grey_Wiz: Yes, him!
Grey_Wiz: So I was going through the community pages for the game,
Grey_Wiz: I had the idea to click on the supporters/creators of SBURB
joan_of_arc_III: you were trying to find that survey, weren't you?
Grey_Wiz: ...
Grey_Wiz: Anyways, so I scrolled through for a good ten minutes, and guess who I didn't find?
Grey_Wiz: Mister Stripes and Bells himself. Meaning, either he's a hacker,
Grey_Wiz: Or he's a 'secret developer', which haven't existed since the making of E.T. on the Atari
joan_of_arc_III: well
joan_of_arc_III: he must be the former then, because i already installed the game
joan_of_arc_III: and downloaded it
Grey_Wiz: Really?
Grey_Wiz: Maybe they do still exist...
Grey_Wiz: Nonetheless, this is interesting, and if you're going to get a virus, I want to join you.
Grey_Wiz: Do you still have my gift code?
joan_of_arc_III: great idea!
joan_of_arc_III: it's somewhere around here, but i'll go find it now.

The GIFT CODE! Of course, how did you not think of it before!
ARCADE gave a special feature to all of its long-standing members on its FOURTEENTH ANNIVERSERY, allowing them to gift games to others for free, if they already owned them.
You, being you, printed out the copy to keep in your DESK DRAWER, so you wouldn't forget it.
You open the drawer.
It's not there.
DAMMIT.

You scamper over to your walk-in closet, and begin to look through the various items stored in there.
Dang, you really need to clean this out when you have the time.
Starting with the biggest things you can see, you have various items of CLOTHING that are hooked on either side of your, with the use of THICK METAL HANGERS.
Some of the clothes and their corresponding hangars currently reside, forgotten, on the ground. You search the pockets of every item you can currently interact with.
You get back, sighing, and keep looking.
To your immediate right, is a SHOE HANGAR, which has a bunch of mismatched pairs of VARIOUS FOOTWEAR.
The one most prominent, however, is the smudged surface of the forbidden...
LIME GREEN CROCS.
You shutter, and quickly turn to look away from the monstrosities you used to call friends.
In the very back of the closet is the main component of said closet: a large, white METAL SHELF with various KNICK-KNACKS and things of that sort on it.
At the very top, you see two dusty MODEL ROCKETS from your first science fair, and a MYSTERIOUS WOODEN BOX that you can't seem to remember...
Welp. If you can't reach it now then the CODE probably isn't up there.
ON the next shelf down, lies an alarmingly large PILE OF NEWSPAPERS, all of which contain news about the achievements of a certain BRITISH BOARDING SCHOOL.
Sitting next to them, is your pair of BEETS HEADPHONES. You were actually looking for those! But now's not the time.
Below that, there's the first shelf that's about eye-level for you.
There lies an EMPTY SODA BOTTLE, some random CARDBOARD BOXES, a striped CAP WITH A BUMBLEBEE on it, and a strange, BROWNISH NECKLACE that has strange symbols on it...
O the shelf that's level with your thighs, you notice your SPINNY-THINGY.
It's made to look like some kind of rocket-carousel ride, but you don't remember how long you've owned it.
But it's there, and you push back the urge to start it.
Next to the SPINNY-THINGY, there's also a large METAL LETTER N (from your old room), your NINTENDO 3DS and its CASE, and a RED NECKERCHIEF.
On the last shelf, where your knees can reach, there's a large variety of NOVELS, CHILDRENS BOOKS, and EMPTY PLASTIC BOXES FROM PRE-SCHOOL.
Then, there's the stuff on the ground.
IN no complete order, you find the following:
Your HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK, your BACKPACK, a GUITAR MAGAZINE, your WALLET,
a bundle of SCRUNCHED-UP TIES, … JUMANJI (since when did you own that)?, a small, BLACK FLASHLIGHT, and...
your BOX OF MEMORIES.
After a thorough search of the closet, you begin to get frustrated. However, your mood lifts when your realize you've narrowed down the places it could be.

ABSO.
LUTELY.
NOT.
You have vowed to everything that you are worth, since the day you discovered the love of FLIP-FLOPS, you would never,
ever,
even think about touching those GREEN MONSTROSITIES.
It would take more than the END OF THE WORLD for you to even touch.
Ugh.
Speaking of the mysterious box, you realize, as you look up at it again, that even if you did manage to reach, you would need a KEY.
But that's not what you're goal is at the moment.

Speaking of which, yeah, if you're going on any kind of epic journey, you need to keep your internet portal with at all times.
You quickly dash around your rom, trying to look calm as you frantically search for the DEVICE.
Finally, you descend upon your BEDSIDE TABLE, and find it there, charging with the CORD and BOX installed into the wall.
You pick it up (not CAPTCHALOUGE, as you have a thing called POCKETS), and contemplate what to do next.
You quickly look through the BESIDE DRAWER just in case, but your suspicions are confirmed, as there is no CODE to be found.

Following your instincts, you take out BENSON from your MODUS, and place him on your HEAD.
You then stand on the top of your BED, making sure to stand a good distance away from the slowly rotating FAN.
You close your eyes, and feel your inner STRIPES, and the noise begins.
BBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...
You open your eyes to find you've jumped off your BED, and are now running around your room in a happy panic.
You're surprisingly okay with this.
As you run around your room, you see passing glances of furniture in the room, and as you pass your DESK, your brain starts to work...
You stop mid flight, having a revelation.
You Captchalouge, and FACEPALM. How could you be so stupid.
You now know where the CODE is! In the drawer in the kitchen, which is where the FAMILY NOTEPAD is!

As NOVA begins to open her BEDROOM DOOR, you begin to sink into a different consciousness...
You are looking out your WINDOW. It's a beautiful fall afternoon, and you are sitting watching the LEAVES go by and your PEERS walk around CAMPUS.
You sit back and YAWN, adjust your glasses, and close your eyes for a second.
You wonder if your FRIEND has found that CODE of hers yet.
You doubt it.
You stretch your arms, forgetting what time it was, and look back at your DORM ROOM.
Its small and spacious but-
Your view suddenly lurches as your vison changes back to the white-ish walls of YOUR HOME.
Sorry, but this CODE and GAME are a bit of importance of you. No time for DETOURES.
