A young thread stands in it's forum. It just so happens that today, the 14th of August, is this young thread's birthday. Though it was a debatable amount of time ago it was given life, it is only today it will be given a name!
What will the name of this young thread be?
This is a homestuck RP. If you have not read homestuck, I strongly recommend you read it.
First and foremost acknowledge that any explanation of the premise of homestuck contains spoilers. Some more than others and others more direct than other others. I recommend the explanation provided in the link above, but for the purpose of this thread, here's a spoiler that actually contains spoilers:
[spoiler]
Name: Blake Walker Age: 15 Gender: ♂ Appearance: Personality: Likes to shoot stuff and see little holes appear in what got shot. But actually, a pretty nice guy. He’s very self-absorbed and since none of his friends share his excessive interests in shooting things, he keeps to himself alot, which he is fine with. Interests: Loves shooting guns. Blake owns too many shooting games, dozens of nerf guns, more than a few airsoft guns, and several bebe guns. He enjoys looking at new guns to buy and keeps very odd sleep hours as he surfs the web on his laptop looking at the coolest of guns. He also purveys hunting magazines and gun magazines often. Although his uncle would never allow him to buy a real gun, Blake has gotten as close as he can with his airsoft and bebe guns. Pesterchum handle: armedTruant Fetch modus: Tic tac toe modus, you play to get your item back, a win drops it, a tie ejects it, and a loss keeps the item. (the X’s and O’s look vaguely target-like) Guardian: Uncle Al, Australian. Speaks with an Australian accent and says g’day mate every day. House: Various paraphernalia from Australia decorates the inside of his house. Uncle Al owns an extensive collection of didgeridoos, and keeps stuffed animals all around the house. The animals are all native to Australia of course. He also hangs boomerangs and indigenous artifacts on the walls. What his uncle loves most however, is the wiggles. Portraits, dvds, books, posters, and action figures litter the house seemingly at random. As is his duty, Blake holds absolutely no interest in his uncle’s hobbies and puts targets on every object in the house. Then shoots the targets. Repeatedly. His uncle Al has somehow always managed to avoid getting a target stuck on himself, though not for lack of trying. Blake’s gun magazines also litter the house. It’s a messy house. Symbol: A target.
Name: Altin Wyss Age: 14 Gender: ♂ Appearance: Wears red-rimmed half-frame glasses for snazz effect, and warm and fuzzy scarves. Hipster length, coifed black hair, and quite pale skin.
Personality: Very chatty, but afraid to contact strangers, or even known people in a publicly accessible location. Due to taking online classes instead of leaving his house, he prefers communication over a keyboard instead of speaking through a mic, like his fellow classmates.
Interests: Snowglobes of kiwi, rocks, scarves, and glass shelving. Wall mounted or not, the shelf has to be made of glass. Online ordering, as packages are airdropped from a plane onto his front lawn within hours of ordering.
Pesterchum handle: adjacentCeneromancer
Fetch modus: Pokeball. I have six Pokeballs on my person, each one storing said item, maybe person even. I must beat living objects to weaken them before catch/storing them. I must yell out, [Item name given to object on first time entry] I CHOOSE YOU!, to deploy each item. Storage is limited to 6, in correspondence to the trainer’s limits.
Guardian: Grandma on father’s side. Life is lived without proper communication between Altin and her, as she speaks some language he doesn’t know, and it’s not english, or any language documented from what you can tell. Limited conversation can be accomplished through wild hand gestures, flag signalling, and pointing at pictures on hand. Grandma is regularly out of the house, often hunting wild kiwi with a crossbow. She is the founder of some shady corporation in the Fiji islands. You suspect it is the erection of geothermal plants on the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni.
House: Remote mansion located in the mountains of New Zealand. The house is adorned with sculptures of Kiwi and paintings to match. Altin’s room is decorated with glass shelves, each one filled with miscellaneous piles of brightly colored rocks, or Kiwi snow globes. Anywhere a shelf wouldn’t fit, a rack is placed to accommodate his scarf collection.
Name: Carmen Grace Age: 15 Gender: female Appearance: Carmen has caramel-colored hair, brown half-rimmed prescription glasses, and pale skin. Personality: she is a typically cheerful girl, unless she has to deal with her grandfather. A little nerdy. Tends to make bad puns. Interests: Carmen likes to read large fantasy novels, most of which could kill a small animal if dropped. She especially likes books about dragons, cats, or both. She likes making bad puns on what she, other people, movies, or books say. She also likes crafty things, such as painting(although she isn’t much good at it), clay sculpting(which she is much better at), and sewing(which she is not very good at). Pesterchum handle: creativeCat Fetch Modus: necklaces. Anything in her Fetch Modus is turned into a pendant no larger than two square inches on a single chain. She has to undo the clasp to get the item; after undoing the clasp(which is usually a lobster clasp) the chain disappears and the object appears in her hands, full-size. Guardian: her wonky grandfather, who constantly speaks in obscure languages, despite the fact that he knows how to speak perfect english. House: a two-story house in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a stand of trees. [spoiler=Symbol] (i know, it looks terrible.)

The 2nd session
[spoiler]
Ryik7*/Dragonite Ashtamangala
[spoiler]
Name: Dragonite Ashtamangala. Personally hates his name and goes by "Al", which is derived from "Allosaurus"
Age: 17
Gender: ♂
Appearance:
Personality: Extremely lecherous. His tendencies of this nature are severely inhibited by his guardian, of which he is at odds with accordingly. Quite rebellious, though not without good reason. Kind of laid-back and has a natural creeper aura.
Interests: DINOSAURS ARE THE SHIZ MAN. Mostly theropods. He is an avid programmer, frequenting sites lacking legal attention, and as mentioned previously, is extremely lecherous. Was more or less forced into learning several obscure martial arts forms under the pretenses of health benefits. Although he makes use of these, he mostly skewers them and molds them into something original for his personal use when him and his guardian strife. He is a strict atheist, but has given up arguing with his guardian over it. The overall disapproval of all of the above by his guardian strains their relationship.
Pesterchum handle: celestialAtheist
Fetch modus: Contrarian thinking
Whenever Al attempts to retrieve an item from his fetch modus, it will give him the item most opposite of what he was trying to retrieve. If the amount of opposite is perfectly defined and there are 2 things equally opposite, for example, he attempts to retrieve a red cube and there is a green, a red, and a blue cube in his sylladex, the blue and green cubes will both be ejected.
Guardian: An adoptive brodad that is all but impossible to understand. He is a devout practitioner, saint even of seemingly every religion he comes across, completely ignoring conflicts. He also seems to be a hitman on top of all that. His weapons of choice are dharmacakras used as chakrams and a cross-shaped pistol. Al has tried on many occasions to have a discussion with him about (all of) it, all of them ending in arguments, but he overall mostly can't. He travels the world, apparently ending lives and preaching. When he is home, Al would rather spend time playing video games with him instead of arguing. Speaking of which, He inexplicably loves video games despite being a grown adult, much more than Al. His favorite is pokemon. Al has never beaten him at it. Try as Al might, he cannot figure out what his deal is.
He wears black and white formal clothing, semi-circular shades, and numerous necklaces with taijitu, crosses, hexagrams, star and crescents, (buddhist) swastikas, etc. perpetually. He also has odd gold/black hair. Al cannot tell if it's dyed, and if so, which color is the original.
House: Al lives in a fairly odd mansion at the top of a large, mountainous hill surrounded on all sides but one by walls of the mountain, as if his house were on the inside of a caldera. There is waterfall that develops into a river that starts and runs just a few meters from his house. On the other side of the river (which is so narrow he can jump on a rock in the middle of it, then to the other side without getting wet) is a large cherry tree overlooking the river and his house. At the entrance/exit to this oasis-like caldera-ish area is a large red shinto gate. Oddly enough, there are no shrines or idols on the outside of his house.
The inside of his house however is covered in religious symbols and idols. Al takes them down if he is feeling particularly passive-aggressive. The house has its own arcade room complete with multiple TVs and countless video games. The inside of his room has several computers and a few dinosaurs figures lying about. He never cared too strongly about dinosaurs, at least since he was significantly younger, but it gradually became a symbol of defiance against his guardian.
Symbol:
(Oh god I laughed so hard choosing the name and symbol)

The 3rd session
[spoiler]
Solawind/Sol Liaphus
[spoiler]
Name: Sol Liuphus Age: 15 Gender: Male♂ Appearance:
((As drawn by me, yay for paint...)) Personality: Sol is pretty laid back, he will converse with anyone but rarely will initiate a conversation himself. For the most part he likes to leave things to fate, letting whatever play out and only taking action when it is necessary or deemed probable that it would be wise for him to perform an action. Sol will often zone out or ask someone to wait a moment while he thinks something through. Interests: Sol isn't into much, his favorite thing is meditation, his room mostly consists of blank white walls with bare white shelves and a very minimalist bed. His hobbies include mixed martial arts and professional procrastination. Pesterchum handle: grandevalTaoist Fetch modus: Sol's Fetch modus is "Dual Singularity" Items he picks up are stored in the shared space and shared among Sol and those in the many divergence lines that split around him, when accessing items it is not uncommon that he will pull out something completely different. Items can only be retrieved when really necessary and require Sol to contemplate whether he really needs an item.
To clarify, he puts items in, he can pull the same number of items out, but cannot choose what items he pulls out, and usually he just never pulls items out of his modus, he will just fight with his fists and whatever is currently in his environment will be what he uses to solve any issues.
Eg. Sol might pick up an umbrella and alternate divergence line Sol might use it, so Sol's modus is empty again. Guardian: Sol's guardian is his sensei, a buff old man who can split a brick in two with his smallest finger. His guardian is known only as sensei and always wears a standard martial arts outfit with a black belt that is practically striped with gold bands. House: Sol lives on a remote island with a small population, his house is a simple oriental style house with paper walls and a black tiled roof that has corners that point upwards. Each room is fairly minimalist with soft simple white rugs covering most of the wooden floors of the house excluding his sensei's room which has a Bear-rug for the floor and walls laden with trophies. Their garden is the most impressive feature of the house with many water features. Sol's room only really has a few things besides the shelves, a well-kept bonsai on the plain white block table beside his bed and an almost perfectly spherical rock which sits beside the Bonsai.
To clarify, the island is a small offshore island off some generic undisclosed continent, it has a population of about 1000, this is simply to avoid messing with locations that exist in real life.
[spoiler]
Sol's Island is non-volcanic, and consists mostly of swamps and plains.
[/spoiler] Symbol: A simple Yin-Yang symbol that blends in with Sol's hooded jacket.
Name: Ley Ammon Age: 14 Gender: Femme Appearance: [spoiler]This was an injoke between me and IRL friends but it is convenient so.[/spoiler] Personality: Somber and level headed, she usually gets things done around the place. Always to the point, she hates to dilly dally on trivial things, and, in bouts of laziness among her peers, she would get up and go to get things started. Loves to initiate activities. High on gambling, loves to put her luck to the test. Has a hell of a poker face. Interests: She is interested in mainly in gambling and astrology. Has a passing interest in the accumulation of knowledge, tidbits of data, anything that can be deemed useful that is to be kept in stock in her head. Loves cats dearly, can't be helped that many of them lounge around the casino. Pesterchum handle: galacticCloud Fetch modus: Roulette - An item is placed on a particular number of her choice, and when she wishes for it, she has to spin the roulette. Depending on the bet of her choice, she may or may not get the item. Here's the catch: if she performs a non specific bet, which would be on colors, odd or even, dozens, highs and lows, she may get the item she wants, or something else entirely in that range. Split bets are special, as they are only split between two numbers, as such, one would be ejected, and another would come out normally. Sometimes, when performing a wide range bet, i.e., betting on both red and black, the roulette may 'break', and all items would get ejected. Guardian: Her sister, who works as a dealer in a the casino. She usually has a vest on, and a matching bowtie. House: Their house is a huge mansion, basically functioning as a large casino. There are games in nearly every corner of the place, and it is generally noisy. However, their real home is a little ways underground, in the hidden recesses of the casino which is more peaceful. There, they have a few apartment-like spaces for the staff who choose to live there, which so happens to include Ley and her sister. There are several hidden passages among and around the house, which allows access to pretty much everywhere, provided whoever is traveling among them knows of all the combinations required. It features a large stargazing dome at the rooftop, meant for VIPs who want to get away from the humdrum of the casino in the first three floors. Symbol: [spoiler]

guygombaa/Isaac Gold
[spoiler] Name: Isaac Gold Age: 14 Gender: ♂ Appearance: Personality: Isaac is by no means ordinary. He has a rare mental condition he calls 'cosmic awareness' thtat makes him think somebody is writing out his entire life story, and he is, in actuality, simply a character. He also hears voices in his head. Besides this, is generally fun loving, happy and..... well generally just a little crazy. Interests: Video games. Roleplaying. Comic Books, Computers, Psychology, Cats. Pesterchum Handle: guyGombaa Fetch Modus: BattleDEX- The BattleDEX assigns point values ranging from 1-100 to each item in the Sylladex. (The same item will always have the same point values. So, two mops could both have a value of 50, although a broken mop could have a point value of 25) There is no real pattern to what has what value, although it is generally assumed that better items will have lower point values. A random card is then drawn, with a point value inbetween 1-90. In order to drop an item, user must take multiple items to overpower the attack card with their combined point values. All cards used will then be dropped. Combined values cannot go over 100. Alternatively, wanted item can be forcibly ejected upwards to avoid battle, BUT ONLY IF USER HAS NO OTHER OPTIONS. Guardian: His incredibly loving and caring Aunt. She has no known name. Just Aunt. House: He lives in a two storey mansion out in the forest. It came from his inheritance when his inventor parents died. It has a pool. Almost every wall is adorned with posters or pictures of some kind. There is not a single room that doesn't feature a pop-culture reference. Arcade machines everywhere. VIDEO GAMES. VIDEO GAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEESSSSSS. His room features a bunch of clothes strewn everywhere, an oversized TV on the wall, with a bunch of consoles attached, a bunk bed, more posters, figurines, props, his ALI3NWARE laptop, and..... thats all.

Mr_Sheep_San/Melissa Rayner
[spoiler]
Name: Melissa Rayner
Age: 14
Gender: ♀
Appearance: She has long dirty blonde hair and wears big circle glasses with pineapple designs adorning the sides. She also typically wears a light blue shirt with a yellow pineapple in the middle.
Personality: She is an overrall cheerful girl, but she struggles with starting conversations with others. Though sometimes she enjoys talking in a strange monotone voice because its fun. Though her manner of speech can be pretty rude and blunt at times due to her somewhat awkward nature.
Interests: She enjoys collecting pineapples of different assortments. Her entourage of pineapple plushies are never far away as she always carries one with her in her arms. Since she is an only child, she enjoys talking to her pineapples to get advice. The advice she gets is sometimes crazy, but what do you expect? She is talking to her pineapple friends and personifies them herself.
Pesterchum handle: ananasComosus
Fetch modus: Haiku-She must come up with a haiku that describes her item. If the description of the item is insufficient, she does not get the item. Although, if the if she adds in too many syllables into a line of the haiku, the item is ejected.
Guardian: Melissa lives with her father who has a fetish for sheep. Due to this strange fetish, he loves to collect and decorate the house with sheep figurines and posters. Though, there are no sheep wool carpets, walls, blankets, or clothing, because he strongly believes that killing sheep for their products is wrong. With that strong belief, he actually purchased a sheep of his own that is now his pet named Sir McGillifred the Third (there was no second or first, but "the Third" had a nice ring to it, so he just skipped to "the Third.") She strongly dislikes Sir McGillifred because he enjoys sneaking into her room and eating her entourage of pineapple plushies and her pineapple collection. She is currently at war with him. Her father tends to wear a hat with a sheep figurine attached to the top. He regularly finishes his sentences with baa.
House: She lives in an average two story house with an attic and basement. Much of her house is adorned with sheep posters, sheep pillows, sheep plushies, sheep figurines, and actual living sheep. The only room in the house that lacks in sheep is her room which is inundated with pineapple everything. There are two other bedrooms in the house. One is her father's and the other is a guest room. There is also a large kitchen full of the newest dudads and gadgets, three bathrooms, a casual livingroom, and an office room where her dad does his mysterious, unknown job.
Symbol: A pineapple.

Session 3.5
[spoiler]
Ryik7/Ryan Tarbosaurus
[spoiler] Name: Ryan Tarbosaurus Age: 16 Gender: ♂ Appearance: Personality: Mostly really shy, soft-spoken, passive, and friendly. Alternatively, can be very harsh and cold with those he distrusts. Is very socially awkward due to his upbringing. Interests: Is skilled in multiple varieties of martial arts and self-defense, as taught by his brother. (Weapon of choice: Vajras or Tonfa) Loves the internet and video games, but is mostly sheltered from it, limiting his familiarity with it. He thinks there is a grand total of 360 pokemon. (Owns copy of Pokemon FireRed and has replayed it more times than he can count. This also means he has no idea what a fair amount of those 360 are) Jolteon is his favorite. He has a passive interest in religion, but cannot decide on which one is 'right'. His brother discourages religion. Ryan also loves tigers because tigers are awesome. Pesterchum handle: awkwardTachyon Fetch modus: Pokémon
The item in question is assigned 3 pokemon vaguely related to the item. (though they are not always consistent; the same item can be assigned different pokemon. Also, the pokemon can only be ones Ryan knows of) Ryan must then beat it in a pokemon battle, (under generation 3 mechanics) 3 on 3. Ryan must use his own pokemon for this, which consists of a Jolteon, an Arcanine, and a Skarmory for this purpose. If he wins, he retrieves the item. If he loses, the item isn't removed. If he ties, the item is ejected. Due to the nature of this modus, it is very time-consuming retrieving objects, but Ryan usually doesn't mind. Guardian: His (adoptive) brodad. The guy is inscrutable, but overprotective to the point of homeschooling Ryan, limiting his internet connection, and teaching him advance martial arts and self-defense. He occasionally has strife sessions with Ryan. ('training') His interests mostly consist of the borderline pornographic, (and sometimes illegal) and virtually everyone can agree with the statement "What the hell do you mean borderline?" Why he changed his last name to that of a dinosaur Ryan will never know. He wears shades and is the one who taught Ryan martial arts, but he is not to be mistaken for someone who is 'cool'. House: Ryan lives with his brother in an apartment, top floor. The apartment itself is mostly plain, though it has an above-average amount of computers. There is a lock on all of them, and he doesn't know the password. There is quite a great variety of questionable objects lying about attributed to his brother. Ryan's room is mostly plain, with the exception of a few trophies he won from local martial-arts tournaments he managed to convince his brother to let him enter. He also has his own television (no cable) and quite a bit of games, although a complete list of his consoles include the Nintendo 64, A Playstation, and a Gameboy Advance. He also has a plush tiger which he holds extended '2-way' conversations with not infrequently.

Personality: Very chatty, but afraid to contact strangers, or even known people in a publicly accessible location. Due to taking online classes instead of leaving his house, he prefers communication over a keyboard instead of speaking through a mic, like his fellow classmates.
Interests: Snowglobes of kiwi, rocks, scarves, and glass shelving. Wall mounted or not, the shelf has to be made of glass. Online ordering, as packages are airdropped from a plane onto his front lawn within hours of ordering.
Pesterchum handle: adjacentCeneromancer

Guardian: Grandma on father’s side. Life is lived without proper communication between Altin and her, as she speaks some language he doesn’t know, and it’s not english, or any language documented from what you can tell. Limited conversation can be accomplished through wild hand gestures, flag signalling, and pointing at pictures on hand. Grandma is regularly out of the house, often hunting wild kiwi with a crossbow. She is the founder of some shady corporation in the Fiji islands. You suspect it is the erection of geothermal plants on the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni.
House: Remote mansion located in the mountains of New Zealand. The house is adorned with sculptures of Kiwi and paintings to match. Altin’s room is decorated with glass shelves, each one filled with miscellaneous piles of brightly colored rocks, or Kiwi snow globes.

Name: Blake Walker Age: 15 Gender: ♂ Appearance: Personality: Likes to shoot stuff and see little holes appear in what got shot. But actually, a pretty nice guy. He’s very self-absorbed and since none of his friends share his excessive interests in shooting things, he keeps to himself alot, which he is fine with. Interests: Loves shooting guns. Blake owns too many shooting games, dozens of nerf guns, more than a few airsoft guns, and several bebe guns. He enjoys looking at new guns to buy and keeps very odd sleep hours as he surfs the web on his laptop looking at the coolest of guns. He also purveys hunting magazines and gun magazines often. Although his uncle would never allow him to buy a real gun, Blake has gotten as close as he can with his airsoft and bebe guns. Pesterchum handle: armedTruant Fetch modus: Tic tac toe modus, you play to get your item back, a win drops it, a tie ejects it, and a loss keeps the item. (the X’s and O’s look vaguely target-like) Guardian: Uncle Al, Australian. Speaks with an Australian accent and says g’day mate every day. House: Various paraphernalia from Australia decorates the inside of his house. Uncle Al owns an extensive collection of didgeridoos, and keeps stuffed animals all around the house. The animals are all native to Australia of course. He also hangs boomerangs and indigenous artifacts on the walls. What his uncle loves most however, is the wiggles. Portraits, dvds, books, posters, and action figures litter the house seemingly at random. As is his duty, Blake holds absolutely no interest in his uncle’s hobbies and puts targets on every object in the house. Then shoots the targets. Repeatedly. His uncle Al has somehow always managed to avoid getting a target stuck on himself, though not for lack of trying. Blake’s gun magazines also litter the house. It’s a messy house. Symbol: A target.

For the most part he likes to leave things to fate, letting whatever play out and only taking action when it is necessary or deemed probable that it would be wise for him to perform an action. Sol will often zone out or ask someone to wait a moment while he thinks something through. Interests: Sol isn't into much, his favorite thing is meditation, his room mostly consists of blank white walls with bare white shelves and a very minimalist bed. His hobbies include mixed martial arts and professional procrastination. Pesterchum handle: grandevalTaoist Fetch modus: Sol's Fetch modus is "Dual Singularity" Items he picks up are stored in the shared space and shared among Sol and those in the many divergence lines that split around him, when accessing items it is not uncommon that he will pull out something completely different. Items can only be retrieved when really necessary and require Sol to contemplate whether he really needs an item.
To clarify, he puts items in, he can pull the same number of items out, but cannot choose what items he pulls out, and usually he just never pulls items out of his modus, he will just fight with his fists and whatever is currently in his environment will be what he uses to solve any issues.
Eg. Sol might pick up an umbrella and alternate divergence line Sol might use it, so Sol's modus is empty again. Guardian: Sol's guardian is his sensei, a buff old man who can split a brick in two with his smallest finger. His guardian is known only as sensei and always wears a standard martial arts outfit with a black belt that is practically striped with gold bands. House: Sol lives on a remote island with a small population, his house is a simple oriental style house with paper walls and a black tiled roof that has corners that point upwards. Each room is fairly minimalist with soft simple white rugs covering most of the wooden floors of the house excluding his sensei's room which has a Bear-rug for the floor and walls laden with trophies. Their garden is the most impressive feature of the house with many water features. Sol's room only really has a few things besides the shelves, a well-kept bonsai on the plain white block table beside his bed and an almost perfectly spherical rock which sits beside the Bonsai.
To clarify, the island is a small offshore island off some generic undisclosed continent, it has a population of about 1000, this is simply to avoid messing with locations that exist in real life.
Sol's Island is non-volcanic, and consists mostly of swamps and plains.
Symbol: A simple Yin-Yang symbol that blends in with Sol's hooded jacket.

Name: Melissa Rayner
Age: 14
Gender: ♀
Appearance: She has long dirty blonde hair and wears big circle glasses with pineapple designs adorning the sides. She also typically wears a light blue shirt with a yellow pineapple in the middle.
Personality: She is an overrall cheerful girl, but she struggles with starting conversations with others. Though sometimes she enjoys talking in a strange monotone voice because its fun. Though her manner of speech can be pretty rude and blunt at times due to her somewhat awkward nature.
Interests: She enjoys collecting pineapples of different assortments. Her entourage of pineapple plushies are never far away as she always carries one with her in her arms. Since she is an only child, she enjoys talking to her pineapples to get advice. The advice she gets is sometimes crazy, but what do you expect? She is talking to her pineapple friends and personifies them herself.
Pesterchum handle: ananasComosus
Fetch modus: Haiku-She must come up with a haiku that describes her item. If the description of the item is insufficient, she does not get the item. Although, if the if she adds in too many syllables into a line of the haiku, the item is ejected.
Guardian: Melissa lives with her father who has a fetish for sheep. Due to this strange fetish, he loves to collect and decorate the house with sheep figurines and posters. Though, there are no sheep wool carpets, walls, blankets, or clothing, because he strongly believes that killing sheep for their products is wrong. With that strong belief, he actually purchased a sheep of his own that is now his pet named Sir McGillifred the Third (there was no second or first, but "the Third" had a nice ring to it, so he just skipped to "the Third.") She strongly dislikes Sir McGillifred because he enjoys sneaking into her room and eating her entourage of pineapple plushies and her pineapple collection. She is currently at war with him. Her father tends to wear a hat with a sheep figurine attached to the top. He regularly finishes his sentences with baa.
House: She lives in an average two story house with an attic and basement. Much of her house is adorned with sheep posters, sheep pillows, sheep plushies, sheep figurines, and actual living sheep. The only room in the house that lacks in sheep is her room which is inundated with pineapple everything. There are two other bedrooms in the house. One is her father's and the other is a guest room. There is also a large kitchen full of the newest dudads and gadgets, three bathrooms, a casual livingroom, and an office room where her dad does his mysterious, unknown job.
Symbol: A pineapple.

((i am done! meet Carmen.))
Name: Carmen Grace
Age: 15
Gender: female
Appearance: Carmen has caramel-colored hair, brown half-rimmed prescription glasses, and pale skin.
Personality: she is a typically cheerful girl, unless she has to deal with her grandfather. A little nerdy. Tends to make bad puns.
Interests: Carmen likes to read large fantasy novels, most of which could kill a small animal if dropped. She especially likes books about dragons, cats, or both. She likes making bad puns on what she, other people, movies, or books say. She also likes crafty things, such as painting(although she isn’t much good at it), clay sculpting(which she is much better at), and sewing(which she is not very good at).
Pesterchum handle: creativeCat
Fetch Modus: necklaces. Anything in her Fetch Modus is turned into a pendant no larger than two square inches on a single chain. She has to undo the clasp to get the item; after undoing the clasp(which is usually a lobster clasp) the chain disappears and the object appears in her hands, full-size.
Guardian: her wonky grandfather, who constantly speaks in obscure languages, despite the fact that he knows how to speak perfect english.
House: a two-story house in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a stand of trees.

Alright, we have hit 4. Let's start then. Izen, Blake, Altin, and Carmen have been internet "friends" (insert nuances here) for 5 years.
cynicalToxophilite RIGHT NOW opened memo on board Who cares what the board is called.
CT: Guys.
CT: There's this new game I 'acquired'.
CT: I thought you guys might want to play.
CT: It requires 2 or more players.
adjacentCeneromancer [AC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
AC: Pirated copy as usual?
CT: Depends on what you call pirating.
AC: Okay, forget I asked where you got it, I probably don't want to know.
CT: The ruins.
CT: The ones by my house.
armedTruant [AT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
AT: I don't care if it's pirated, is it a shooting game?
AT: It probably is, if it takes at least two people to play.
AC: What?
AC: You've been digging around in these "ruins"?
AC: lol you must be so dirty by now.
CT: I haven't so much as touched anything in the ruins really.
CT: The patterns on the walls were arrange in a suspicious manner, so I decided to translate them.
CT: I literally translated coding off of the walls of ancient ruins.
CT: The ridiculous thing is, it forms a coherent program.
CT: So naturally, I've got to play this.
CT: As for what kind of game it is, in all honesty, I don't know.
CT: It won't start up unless a server player connects with a client player, and it's coding is arranged in the weirdest way possible.
AT: It's probably a shooting game. The oldest shooting game in existence. The very first shooting game ever. I must play this game.
AT: How do we start?
AC: So you've run it before?
AC: Or did the fancy old coding tell you all of this.
CT: I ran it.
CT: Surprisingly, it didn't immediately crash. It even had a start-up message and everything.
CT: But like I said, it won't start up. It just waits until a server player connects with a client player.
CT: I could try it out myself with two computers, but that'd ruin the experience, wouldn't it?
CT: So Blake, you're on board.
CT: Good.
CT: I'll send you the disks.
CT: Can I assume you two are in as well?
AC: Sure.
AC: Grandma is out hunting.
AC: Not that I would do anything.
creativeCat [CC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CC: wow i log in after finishing off my newest book and you guys have been BUSY.
CC: that book i was finishing off was the last one i hadn't read yet...
CC: and rereading something old doesn't seem interesting right now.
CC: but yeah, i wouldn't mind playing.
CT: Good.
CT: I'll send the disks.
CT: It should arrive in maybe a week or so.
CT: See you guys then.
[CT] ceased responding to memo.
CC: a week? dang it, i don't have anything new to read!
CC: ah well i guess i could reread something... *sighs*
AC: I hope you've evolved to E-readers by now.
AC: Can't wait for the airdrop package.
AC: And the fancy parachute they spend so much on to drop it.
CC: no i like my hard copies.
CC: now just to figure out what to reread...
CC: definitely something to do with dragons.
CC: and/or cats.
CC: i'll be back later guys
[CC] ceased responding to memo.
AC: Meh
AC: laters then guys
AC: well blake really.
[AC] ceased responding to memo.
AT: What?
AT: Everyone let already. And I'm the last one here. This always happens.
AT: I guess I'll test out that new gun I just bought. Not that anyone is listening to me. Or cares enough to ask "You got a new gun? That's cool, what is it?"
[AT] ceased responding to the memo.
A young thread stands in it's forum. It just so happens that today, the 14th of August, is this young thread's birthday. Though it was a debatable amount of time ago it was given life, it is only today it will be given a name!

The 2nd session
[spoiler]
Ryik7*/Dragonite Ashtamangala
[spoiler]
Name: Dragonite Ashtamangala. Personally hates his name and goes by "Al", which is derived from "Allosaurus"
Age: 17
Gender: ♂
Appearance:
Personality: Extremely lecherous. His tendencies of this nature are severely inhibited by his guardian, of which he is at odds with accordingly. Quite rebellious, though not without good reason. Kind of laid-back and has a natural creeper aura.
Interests: DINOSAURS ARE THE SHIZ MAN. Mostly theropods. He is an avid programmer, frequenting sites lacking legal attention, and as mentioned previously, is extremely lecherous. Was more or less forced into learning several obscure martial arts forms under the pretenses of health benefits. Although he makes use of these, he mostly skewers them and molds them into something original for his personal use when him and his guardian strife. He is a strict atheist, but has given up arguing with his guardian over it. The overall disapproval of all of the above by his guardian strains their relationship.
Pesterchum handle: celestialAtheist
Fetch modus: Contrarian thinking
Whenever Al attempts to retrieve an item from his fetch modus, it will give him the item most opposite of what he was trying to retrieve. If the amount of opposite is perfectly defined and there are 2 things equally opposite, for example, he attempts to retrieve a red cube and there is a green, a red, and a blue cube in his sylladex, the blue and green cubes will both be ejected.
Guardian: An adoptive brodad that is all but impossible to understand. He is a devout practitioner, saint even of seemingly every religion he comes across, completely ignoring conflicts. He also seems to be a hitman on top of all that. His weapons of choice are dharmacakras used as chakrams and a cross-shaped pistol. Al has tried on many occasions to have a discussion with him about (all of) it, all of them ending in arguments, but he overall mostly can't. He travels the world, apparently ending lives and preaching. When he is home, Al would rather spend time playing video games with him instead of arguing. Speaking of which, He inexplicably loves video games despite being a grown adult, much more than Al. His favorite is pokemon. Al has never beaten him at it. Try as Al might, he cannot figure out what his deal is.
He wears black and white formal clothing, semi-circular shades, and numerous necklaces with taijitu, crosses, hexagrams, star and crescents, (buddhist) swastikas, etc. perpetually. He also has odd gold/black hair. Al cannot tell if it's dyed, and if so, which color is the original.
House: Al lives in a fairly odd mansion at the top of a large, mountainous hill surrounded on all sides but one by walls of the mountain, as if his house were on the inside of a caldera. There is waterfall that develops into a river that starts and runs just a few meters from his house. On the other side of the river (which is so narrow he can jump on a rock in the middle of it, then to the other side without getting wet) is a large cherry tree overlooking the river and his house. At the entrance/exit to this oasis-like caldera-ish area is a large red shinto gate. Oddly enough, there are no shrines or idols on the outside of his house.
The inside of his house however is covered in religious symbols and idols. Al takes them down if he is feeling particularly passive-aggressive. The house has its own arcade room complete with multiple TVs and countless video games. The inside of his room has several computers and a few dinosaurs figures lying about. He never cared too strongly about dinosaurs, at least since he was significantly younger, but it gradually became a symbol of defiance against his guardian.

CloudJhi/Ley Ammon
[spoiler]
guygombaa/Isaac Gold
[spoiler]
Name: Isaac Gold
Age: 14
Gender: ♂
Appearance:
Personality: Isaac is by no means ordinary. He has a rare mental condition he calls 'cosmic awareness' thtat makes him think somebody is writing out his entire life story, and he is, in actuality, simply a character. He also hears voices in his head. Besides this, is generally fun loving, happy and..... well generally just a little crazy.
Interests: Video games. Roleplaying. Comic Books, Computers, Psychology, Cats.
Pesterchum Handle: guyGombaa
Fetch Modus: BattleDEX- The BattleDEX assigns point values ranging from 1-100 to each item in the Sylladex. (The same item will always have the same point values. So, two mops could both have a value of 50, although a broken mop could have a point value of 25) There is no real pattern to what has what value, although it is generally assumed that better items will have lower point values. A random card is then drawn, with a point value inbetween 1-90. In order to drop an item, user must take multiple items to overpower the attack card with their combined point values. All cards used will then be dropped. Combined values cannot go over 100. Alternatively, wanted item can be forcibly ejected upwards to avoid battle, BUT ONLY IF USER HAS NO OTHER OPTIONS.
Guardian: His incredibly loving and caring Aunt. She has no known name. Just Aunt.
House: He lives in a two storey mansion out in the forest. It came from his inheritance when his inventor parents died. It has a pool. Almost every wall is adorned with posters or pictures of some kind. There is not a single room that doesn't feature a pop-culture reference. Arcade machines everywhere. VIDEO GAMES. VIDEO GAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEESSSSSS. His room features a bunch of clothes strewn everywhere, an oversized TV on the wall, with a bunch of consoles attached, a bunk bed, more posters, figurines, props, his ALI3NWARE laptop, and..... thats all.

Session 3.5
[spoiler]
Ryik7/Ryan Tarbosaurus
[spoiler]
Name: Ryan Tarbosaurus
Age: 16
Gender: ♂
Appearance:
Personality: Mostly really shy, soft-spoken, passive, and friendly. Alternatively, can be very harsh and cold with those he distrusts. Is very socially awkward due to his upbringing.
Interests: Is skilled in multiple varieties of martial arts and self-defense, as taught by his brother. (Weapon of choice: Vajras or Tonfa) Loves the internet and video games, but is mostly sheltered from it, limiting his familiarity with it. He thinks there is a grand total of 360 pokemon. (Owns copy of Pokemon FireRed and has replayed it more times than he can count. This also means he has no idea what a fair amount of those 360 are) Jolteon is his favorite. He has a passive interest in religion, but cannot decide on which one is 'right'. His brother discourages religion. Ryan also loves tigers because tigers are awesome.
Pesterchum handle: awkwardTachyon
Fetch modus: Pokémon
The item in question is assigned 3 pokemon vaguely related to the item. (though they are not always consistent; the same item can be assigned different pokemon. Also, the pokemon can only be ones Ryan knows of) Ryan must then beat it in a pokemon battle, (under generation 3 mechanics) 3 on 3. Ryan must use his own pokemon for this, which consists of a Jolteon, an Arcanine, and a Skarmory for this purpose. If he wins, he retrieves the item. If he loses, the item isn't removed. If he ties, the item is ejected. Due to the nature of this modus, it is very time-consuming retrieving objects, but Ryan usually doesn't mind.
Guardian: His (adoptive) brodad. The guy is inscrutable, but overprotective to the point of homeschooling Ryan, limiting his internet connection, and teaching him advance martial arts and self-defense. He occasionally has strife sessions with Ryan. ('training') His interests mostly consist of the borderline pornographic, (and sometimes illegal) and virtually everyone can agree with the statement "What the hell do you mean borderline?" Why he changed his last name to that of a dinosaur Ryan will never know. He wears shades and is the one who taught Ryan martial arts, but he is not to be mistaken for someone who is 'cool'.
House: Ryan lives with his brother in an apartment, top floor. The apartment itself is mostly plain, though it has an above-average amount of computers. There is a lock on all of them, and he doesn't know the password. There is quite a great variety of questionable objects lying about attributed to his brother. Ryan's room is mostly plain, with the exception of a few trophies he won from local martial-arts tournaments he managed to convince his brother to let him enter. He also has his own television (no cable) and quite a bit of games, although a complete list of his consoles include the Nintendo 64, A Playstation, and a Gameboy Advance. He also has a plush tiger which he holds extended '2-way' conversations with not infrequently.

And claim this page for a fancy app that'll take forever for me to make.Said App is done! and now in the spoiler which was so conveniently placed for such app at an earlier notice.))
Name: Altin Wyss
Age: 14
Gender: ♂
Appearance: Wears red-rimmed half-frame glasses for snazz effect, and warm and fuzzy scarves. Hipster length, coifed black hair, and quite pale skin.
Personality: Very chatty, but afraid to contact strangers, or even known people in a publicly accessible location. Due to taking online classes instead of leaving his house, he prefers communication over a keyboard instead of speaking through a mic, like his fellow classmates.
Interests: Snowglobes of kiwi, rocks, scarves, and glass shelving. Wall mounted or not, the shelf has to be made of glass. Online ordering, as packages are airdropped from a plane onto his front lawn within hours of ordering.
Pesterchum handle: adjacentCeneromancer
Fetch modus: Pokeball. I have six Pokeballs on my person, each one storing said item, maybe person even. I must beat living objects to weaken them before catch/storing them. I must yell out, [Item name given to object on first time entry] I CHOOSE YOU!, to deploy each item. Storage is limited to 6, in correspondence to the trainer’s limits.
Guardian: Grandma on father’s side. Life is lived without proper communication between Altin and her, as she speaks some language he doesn’t know, and it’s not english, or any language documented from what you can tell. Limited conversation can be accomplished through wild hand gestures, flag signalling, and pointing at pictures on hand. Grandma is regularly out of the house, often hunting wild kiwi with a crossbow. She is the founder of some shady corporation in the Fiji islands. You suspect it is the erection of geothermal plants on the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni.
House: Remote mansion located in the mountains of New Zealand. The house is adorned with sculptures of Kiwi and paintings to match. Altin’s room is decorated with glass shelves, each one filled with miscellaneous piles of brightly colored rocks, or Kiwi snow globes. Anywhere a shelf wouldn’t fit, a rack is placed to accommodate his scarf collection.
Symbol:
Name: Blake Walker
Age: 15
Gender: ♂
Appearance:
Personality: Likes to shoot stuff and see little holes appear in what got shot. But actually, a pretty nice guy. He’s very self-absorbed and since none of his friends share his excessive interests in shooting things, he keeps to himself alot, which he is fine with.
Interests: Loves shooting guns. Blake owns too many shooting games, dozens of nerf guns, more than a few airsoft guns, and several bebe guns. He enjoys looking at new guns to buy and keeps very odd sleep hours as he surfs the web on his laptop looking at the coolest of guns. He also purveys hunting magazines and gun magazines often. Although his uncle would never allow him to buy a real gun, Blake has gotten as close as he can with his airsoft and bebe guns.
Pesterchum handle: armedTruant
Fetch modus: Tic tac toe modus, you play to get your item back, a win drops it, a tie ejects it, and a loss keeps the item. (the X’s and O’s look vaguely target-like)
Guardian: Uncle Al, Australian. Speaks with an Australian accent and says g’day mate every day.
House: Various paraphernalia from Australia decorates the inside of his house. Uncle Al owns an extensive collection of didgeridoos, and keeps stuffed animals all around the house. The animals are all native to Australia of course. He also hangs boomerangs and indigenous artifacts on the walls. What his uncle loves most however, is the wiggles. Portraits, dvds, books, posters, and action figures litter the house seemingly at random. As is his duty, Blake holds absolutely no interest in his uncle’s hobbies and puts targets on every object in the house. Then shoots the targets. Repeatedly. His uncle Al has somehow always managed to avoid getting a target stuck on himself, though not for lack of trying. Blake’s gun magazines also litter the house. It’s a messy house.
Symbol: A target.
Accepted.

Shall we begin once we hit 4 people?))
((can people join after it starts?))
Accepted.))
Age: 15
Gender: Male♂
Appearance:
((As drawn by me, yay for paint...))
Personality: Sol is pretty laid back, he will converse with anyone but rarely will initiate a conversation himself. For the most part he likes to leave things to fate, letting whatever play out and only taking action when it is necessary or deemed probable that it would be wise for him to perform an action. Sol will often zone out or ask someone to wait a moment while he thinks something through.
Interests: Sol isn't into much, his favorite thing is meditation, his room mostly consists of blank white walls with bare white shelves and a very minimalist bed. His hobbies include mixed martial arts and professional procrastination.
Pesterchum handle: grandevalTaoist
Fetch modus: Sol's Fetch modus is "Dual Singularity" Items he picks up are stored in the shared space and shared among Sol and those in the many divergence lines that split around him, when accessing items it is not uncommon that he will pull out something completely different. Items can only be retrieved when really necessary and require Sol to contemplate whether he really needs an item.
To clarify, he puts items in, he can pull the same number of items out, but cannot choose what items he pulls out, and usually he just never pulls items out of his modus, he will just fight with his fists and whatever is currently in his environment will be what he uses to solve any issues.
Eg. Sol might pick up an umbrella and alternate divergence line Sol might use it, so Sol's modus is empty again.
Guardian: Sol's guardian is his sensei, a buff old man who can split a brick in two with his smallest finger. His guardian is known only as sensei and always wears a standard martial arts outfit with a black belt that is practically striped with gold bands.
House: Sol lives on a remote island with a small population, his house is a simple oriental style house with paper walls and a black tiled roof that has corners that point upwards. Each room is fairly minimalist with soft simple white rugs covering most of the wooden floors of the house excluding his sensei's room which has a Bear-rug for the floor and walls laden with trophies. Their garden is the most impressive feature of the house with many water features. Sol's room only really has a few things besides the shelves, a well-kept bonsai on the plain white block table beside his bed and an almost perfectly spherical rock which sits beside the Bonsai.
To clarify, the island is a small offshore island off some generic undisclosed continent, it has a population of about 1000, this is simply to avoid messing with locations that exist in real life.
Sol's Island is non-volcanic, and consists mostly of swamps and plains.
((Could you elaborate on his fetch modus and his island? (There can't be two forges in one Earth.)))
((i also get the feeling i'm going to be the only girl rp'er, at least for a while.))
Feed my dragons please
((The same reason there can't be two Australias.
I agree with the statement entirely.))
((WARNING: I will be absent for a full day due to timezone jumping and despicable airplane travel Saturday, aka tomorrow. Btw do you think that it is a sign that my plane will crash since I keep getting pelted by things falling from above? First it was bird poop, then it was a coconut, and then a very hard and angry dead flower bud.))
((And due to the fact that I will be away potentially flying to my doom, I vote that you postpone my possible acceptance and await Draconic's app as she will most likely be able to rp sooner than me. I can wait for session 2))
Age: 14
Gender: ♀
Appearance: She has long dirty blonde hair and wears big circle glasses with pineapple designs adorning the sides. She also typically wears a light blue shirt with a yellow pineapple in the middle.
Personality: She is an overrall cheerful girl, but she struggles with starting conversations with others. Though sometimes she enjoys talking in a strange monotone voice because its fun. Though her manner of speech can be pretty rude and blunt at times due to her somewhat awkward nature.
Interests: She enjoys collecting pineapples of different assortments. Her entourage of pineapple plushies are never far away as she always carries one with her in her arms. Since she is an only child, she enjoys talking to her pineapples to get advice. The advice she gets is sometimes crazy, but what do you expect? She is talking to her pineapple friends and personifies them herself.
Pesterchum handle: ananasComosus
Fetch modus: Haiku-She must come up with a haiku that describes her item. If the description of the item is insufficient, she does not get the item. Although, if the if she adds in too many syllables into a line of the haiku, the item is ejected.
Guardian: Melissa lives with her father who has a fetish for sheep. Due to this strange fetish, he loves to collect and decorate the house with sheep figurines and posters. Though, there are no sheep wool carpets, walls, blankets, or clothing, because he strongly believes that killing sheep for their products is wrong. With that strong belief, he actually purchased a sheep of his own that is now his pet named Sir McGillifred the Third (there was no second or first, but "the Third" had a nice ring to it, so he just skipped to "the Third.") She strongly dislikes Sir McGillifred because he enjoys sneaking into her room and eating her entourage of pineapple plushies and her pineapple collection. She is currently at war with him. Her father tends to wear a hat with a sheep figurine attached to the top. He regularly finishes his sentences with baa.
House: She lives in an average two story house with an attic and basement. Much of her house is adorned with sheep posters, sheep pillows, sheep plushies, sheep figurines, and actual living sheep. The only room in the house that lacks in sheep is her room which is inundated with pineapple everything. There are two other bedrooms in the house. One is her father's and the other is a guest room. There is also a large kitchen full of the newest dudads and gadgets, three bathrooms, a casual livingroom, and an office room where her dad does his mysterious, unknown job.
Symbol: A pineapple.
((You do realize that sessions aren't necessarily formed by the order of acceptance, right?
Accepted.
Good luck not dying on your flight.))
((starting work on my app now, already have a fetch modus thought up ))((i am done! meet Carmen.))
Name: Carmen Grace
Age: 15
Gender: female
Appearance: Carmen has caramel-colored hair, brown half-rimmed prescription glasses, and pale skin.
Personality: she is a typically cheerful girl, unless she has to deal with her grandfather. A little nerdy. Tends to make bad puns.
Interests: Carmen likes to read large fantasy novels, most of which could kill a small animal if dropped. She especially likes books about dragons, cats, or both. She likes making bad puns on what she, other people, movies, or books say. She also likes crafty things, such as painting(although she isn’t much good at it), clay sculpting(which she is much better at), and sewing(which she is not very good at).
Pesterchum handle: creativeCat
Fetch Modus: necklaces. Anything in her Fetch Modus is turned into a pendant no larger than two square inches on a single chain. She has to undo the clasp to get the item; after undoing the clasp(which is usually a lobster clasp) the chain disappears and the object appears in her hands, full-size.
Guardian: her wonky grandfather, who constantly speaks in obscure languages, despite the fact that he knows how to speak perfect english.
House: a two-story house in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a stand of trees.
Feed my dragons please
((Accepted, though I'd like to know where exactly "Nowhere" is.
Alright, we have hit 4. Let's start then. Izen, Blake, Altin, and Carmen have been internet "friends" (insert nuances here) for 5 years.
For ease of back-and forth, refer to this PM.))
((also i have to go very soon, although i might still be able to post on the Pesterchum log))
Feed my dragons please
cynicalToxophilite RIGHT NOW opened memo on board Who cares what the board is called.
CT: Guys.
CT: There's this new game I 'acquired'.
CT: I thought you guys might want to play.
CT: It requires 2 or more players.
adjacentCeneromancer [AC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
AC: Pirated copy as usual?
CT: Depends on what you call pirating.
AC: Okay, forget I asked where you got it, I probably don't want to know.
CT: The ruins.
CT: The ones by my house.
armedTruant [AT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
AT: I don't care if it's pirated, is it a shooting game?
AT: It probably is, if it takes at least two people to play.
AC: What?
AC: You've been digging around in these "ruins"?
AC: lol you must be so dirty by now.
CT: I haven't so much as touched anything in the ruins really.
CT: The patterns on the walls were arrange in a suspicious manner, so I decided to translate them.
CT: I literally translated coding off of the walls of ancient ruins.
CT: The ridiculous thing is, it forms a coherent program.
CT: So naturally, I've got to play this.
CT: As for what kind of game it is, in all honesty, I don't know.
CT: It won't start up unless a server player connects with a client player, and it's coding is arranged in the weirdest way possible.
AT: It's probably a shooting game. The oldest shooting game in existence. The very first shooting game ever. I must play this game.
AT: How do we start?
AC: So you've run it before?
AC: Or did the fancy old coding tell you all of this.
CT: I ran it.
CT: Surprisingly, it didn't immediately crash. It even had a start-up message and everything.
CT: But like I said, it won't start up. It just waits until a server player connects with a client player.
CT: I could try it out myself with two computers, but that'd ruin the experience, wouldn't it?
CT: So Blake, you're on board.
CT: Good.
CT: I'll send you the disks.
CT: Can I assume you two are in as well?
AC: Sure.
AC: Grandma is out hunting.
AC: Not that I would do anything.
creativeCat [CC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CC: wow i log in after finishing off my newest book and you guys have been BUSY.
CC: that book i was finishing off was the last one i hadn't read yet...
CC: and rereading something old doesn't seem interesting right now.
CC: but yeah, i wouldn't mind playing.
CT: Good.
CT: I'll send the disks.
CT: It should arrive in maybe a week or so.
CT: See you guys then.
[CT] ceased responding to memo.
CC: a week? dang it, i don't have anything new to read!
CC: ah well i guess i could reread something... *sighs*
AC: I hope you've evolved to E-readers by now.
AC: Can't wait for the airdrop package.
AC: And the fancy parachute they spend so much on to drop it.
CC: no i like my hard copies.
CC: now just to figure out what to reread...
CC: definitely something to do with dragons.
CC: and/or cats.
CC: i'll be back later guys
[CC] ceased responding to memo.
AC: Meh
AC: laters then guys
AC: well blake really.
[AC] ceased responding to memo.
AT: What?
AT: Everyone let already. And I'm the last one here. This always happens.
AT: I guess I'll test out that new gun I just bought. Not that anyone is listening to me. Or cares enough to ask "You got a new gun? That's cool, what is it?"
[AT] ceased responding to the memo.
