Today I’m reading.
02/25/10- "Rose, find your sprite.” (/homestuck/1491) to 03/01/10 - “Dave: Download a bunch of grist from John. He has plenty.” (/homestuck/1522)”
Select this thingy to read my commentary
Rose had nearly escaped a fiery death. The meteors destroying earth created a firestorm around her home. Dave had some difficulties getting the beta installed. Though after a frantic first phase of the game Rose and her home got sent to a new land. The Land of Light and Rain (LOLAR), and Rose seems to love it. A new mystery audience with a fancy font had instructed Rose to explore this now world. Now they are suggesting she find her sprite. Her sprite contains her deceased childhood cat. She isn’t able to find them but sees footprints in the white sands that now surround her house.
The footprints lead to the foundation of the now destroyed mausoleum. The path that leads to the lab now goes to a dock. It appears that there may have been a boat there but now it’s just a rope and an abandoned martini. This is a clear sign that Rose’s mom was also brought over, and immediately left. That audience suggests “A mother will do what is best for her child”. This is odd as they seem to know Rose’s mom. There is an island in the distance which is likely where Rose’s mom fled to.
In the future the Wayward Vagabond (WV) has reestablished Can Town. Clearly building and being the mayor of a town of cans will get the attention of the Peregrine Mendicant (PM). The Aimless Renegade (AR) who is also trying to get the attention of PM has his militia of bullets to watch over.
Above them a giant egg appears in the sky. It appears to be another rocket like the ones WV and PM came in on. It crashes down right next to them.
Jade trying out the item creation system, She makes Daves trigger item. John had a green apple, Rose had a purple wine bottle Dave got a red egg. Dave now notices that the Alchemiser is on an AC unit on his roof. He points out how that is a terrible place for it. Before Dave can even attempt to get the Egg his kernel sprite steals it. It’s now in a nest high up on a radio tower. The nest is mostly crappy swords, and puppets including Cal.
Dave assumes he needs to crack the egg open and maybe cook it in the microwave. Jade tosses the microwave out of the building.
We get to see the other unique items that only have been available in Dave’s session for some reason.
- the card with 6 buttons is a Jumper Block Extension
- the CD is just a “CD” (for younger folks this this is what a cd is.)
- a Punch Card Shunt
- a holopad
- Intelliobeam laserstation
They also seem to have started with 2000 grist. They noticed that Johns started with 20 and Rose’s 200. It seems the more users in the session, the more each consecutive player gets. Jade gives Dave a CD though they have no idea what it does. Jade moves the alchemizer off of the AC. This is expensive but she can afford it. This space allows her to deploy a Jumper Block Extension which connects to it. They add a Punch Card Shunt and try adding a card to it but nothing happens. They assume the card needs to be punched first. But they can’t get the Punch designix yet.
The CD installs something called GristTorrent onto Dave’s laptop. This program allows Dave to leech resources from other players. He begins leeching John’s shale, and grist without hesitation. Nice guy.
Till tomorrow, take your friends’ resources, they have plenty. keep riding the pumpkin tide.
