Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
"Okay... now to begin the epilogue." Walter paused, and then grinned as inspiration struck him. "Yes... yes. This love confession would be perfect!" his fingers beginning to type at the keyboard at a rapid pace. Yes... one-hundred words already and according to his word processor? Not a single typo. He'd learned to hone this skill from constant practice; the more carefully he wrote and less typos he made, the less work there was for an editor, after all.
However...
"No, no! This is completely out of character!" He slammed the backspace key endlessly, until the screen in front of him returned to a blank white slate. In fact, where had this idea of a love confession come from in the first place? It was blatantly idiotic. He wasn't writing Wuthering Heights, or Pride and Prejudice, or The Notebook, or...
-New Email-
Walter always kept one half of his screen devoted to his word processor, and the other half devoted to his web-browser; either to discuss literature, or to see if an editor had responded to one of his requests. This time however, it was an email of a different sort... one of a new video game. Probably the typical trash, but it might actually provide him with some level of inspiration. That'd make it good for something.
He clicked the link, and looked at the download time. Well, this could take a while. Oh well. He could think of effective uses for his time; ones that didn't involve having to bother with people. He wasn't in the mood for chatter at the moment. Perhaps later. He grabbed his copy of Neverwhere, sat down on his bed, and began to read.

The world is filled with painful things, it's sad sometimes, and you won't be able to handle it by yourself. But just know: If there's someone that you love, you'll stay on the right path. And you won't ever give in! As long as you keep that person in your heart, you'll keep getting back up. Understand? That's why a Hero never loses!"

Spoiler : Pesterlog :
The sad fact is that, people in alternate timelines definitely didn't understand others... but definitely seems in this case... rather not so definite.
Oh well.
In the dark room with a single lit moniter for light, sat DAVE. Now no one knows what exactly the caps lock on DAVE means but it definitely wasn't anything good, trust the narrator here. This guy wasn't one you wanted to be friends with, he was playfully sadistic in all ways possible. He had powers that no one could even imagine, which included things like time travel, and wasting people's time with nonsense.
The man (If he could be called that at this point) pet his Octopus, who happened to be named Jim.
This was the beginning of something great, he knew it.

Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
And with that, the Exdeath was no more. Lying on a pink and frilly couch, Kasumi had just defeated the final boss in Final Fantasy V. About 50 hours ago, she had decided to start a one-sitting Final Fantasy marathon. She generally did this twice a year... And besides, it's not like she had anything better to do. Looking next to her, she found that her snack bowl was empty and she had ran out of pop. Stifling a small yawn, she slowly rose from the couch while the credits were playing, heading towards the kitchen. But before that, she decided to head on over to the computer to check if anything new had arisen.
-NEW EMAIL-
Oh. This email actually was an interesting one. It was about that new game she signed up for. Apparently, though, it would take a few days for her to download it. Oh well, it's not like she was desperately needing to play it right away: she did have other things to do. After grabbing her snacks and drinks, she went back to the couch. Final Fantasy VI wasn't going to finish itself...

Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
You feel different. Not the normal different where you feel the sudden urge to make those INCREDIBLY ILLICIT fan books that hide in you storeroom, but a new kind of different. Whether it's a good kind of different or a bad kind you're still unsure of. You walk over to your LAPTOP. The download is still going. You walk over to your DRAWING ROOM. An unfinished page of your next book lays there. You walk over to your KITCHEN and eat some snacks. You still feel different. You walk over to your BATHROOM and quickly finish your natural human business. You still feel different. Why do you feel different?
You look at the PORTAL TO HELL, otherwise known as outside. You don't feel like going outside, it can't be that.
Why are you so different?
You look in your mirror, which hasn't seen much use in a long time. You look just as you'd expect. You must be different on the inside. That's when it hits you.
You are NATASHA NATALIE NATTINGS. No longer are you that disgusting and pathetic NATALIE NATASHA NATTINGS. You look around your room and see stacks of INAPPROPRIATE MATERIALS. Disgusting. You feel the need to leave this disgusting place. You put on some clothes, do up your hair so it looks nice, and head into the LOCKED ROOM. The LOCKED ROOM is your special room. It's normal, and not disgusting at all. In this place, you spend your time writing AMAZING PLAYS that you never seem to publish anywhere. But rest assured, they are amazing. You also like to partake in a bit of online chatting and gaming when it pleases you, but not now. For now, you begin to write Act I of your new masterpiece. And what a masterpiece it will be.

Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
Well, it seems I forgot to explain how character interaction works in this RP.
Let's start with what you know, which is that Pesterchum is the way you mainly interact.
But the thing is, just chatting on pesterchum IS NOT enough, I mean really this thread would be pointless if that were the case.
Here's how you show interaction:
1.) You pester someone on Pesterchum.
2.) You then copy the log, and then post it here in a spoiler tag.
3.) You react to it and then possibly show some sort of action that will help further the plot.
4.) Do this when necessary, and when not necessary, interaction is key in this part of the RP, it helps set up future plot events in the story.
That is all.

Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
Tsunderella was extremely upset. She had just checked her mail and found the most horrifying thing ever. It was something that the self-proclaimed Artisan had made... It was filth. A comic of some kind that she shuddered just thinking about. Well, good thing she burned it. But now she was ready to give her a piece of her mind!
Checking Pesterchum, Tsunderella noticed that the filthy fangirl had apparently changed her name for some odd reason. That was just weird. Oh well, no matter. It wasn't worth the time and effort to yell at her, but Tsunderella was honestly bored... Not that she'd ever admit that, of course.
Somehow that wasn't the way she had imagined the conversation going.

Doesn't mean you can't believe it.
Just because it was a lie,
Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.
But if it wasn't real,
can I trust this false reality?

If I had known this game would be like this...
I wouldn't have played it in the first place.
*Click* *Click*
I thought it would be fun.
No, it WAS fun.
It's still fun even now...
*click* *click*
But I know that this game is only fun,
because I can't bear for it not to be.
I just can't admit it.
I click the red X and the pesterlog goes silent.

I wake up with a yawn to the sound of the Higurashi that fill my home of Hinamizawa. Today is going to be a great day, I think. I think. I get washed and dressed and sit at my computer. Just because Mi-chan's not going to be around today doesn't mean I can let myself go slack; go slack. After all, as a member of the club the games are important to all of us. And Keiichi says that these computer games are just as fun as board games.

The screen widens with blue and a notice pops up.

Oh. I've finally gotten the game I've been so excited about. I really hope it's as fun as they say; they say. I hope it's filled with adorable things and... Oh.
Apparently, the download will take a while. That's fine. Rena can wait, I think. I click the download link and smile. I should make a nice lunch today. Something which looks cute and tastes good too~.

Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
I stare at my computer. There really is nothing to do. I stand up off my chair, walk towards the wall, and measure myself against the wall height chart for the thousandth time this hour. Nope. Still as short as always.
I walk back to my computer and open up solitaire. Spider Solitaire is SO much better than this. This game is so boring. *click* *click* Oh wait... Now it's really really *click* Super boring! Yay! I close the window and spin around on the chair for a while. This day is soooo boring... Maybe I SHOULD pick up a hobby like my friends say. Then again, when have I EVER listened to those losers? Stamp collecting? Bird watching? Gosh. It's like they WANT me to drop dead right now. I exhale and start opening up pinball.
-New Email-
Huh? Oh it's that game. Games aren't THAT good, but they're a better way to spend time than being outside. Seems like it'll take a while to download. Great. Now how to spend my time?
Eh, maybe I've grown in the last... What? 20 minutes or so? I run over to the wall and measure myself again. Nope. Surprising. I did absolutely NOTHING different to when I last checked. I sit back in front of my computer. Maybe I should go onto Pesterchum...

Spoiler : PesterLog with vonTsun :
It seems as if the disgusting filth has tampered with your Pesterchum client, whether intentionally or not. No matter though, these new people promise to be quite interesting too. When you get your usual writer's block, maybe it would be a fanciful idea to start a conversation with one of them. But that was all in due time. For now, you go back to your play.
Aaaand done. A good afternoon's worth of work that was. You've released all your writer energy, so you suppose that means it's time to switch back. You exit and lock your secret room, get into you pajamas, let down your hair and lie on the bed to sleep. You let your other personality take over for you.
You are NATALIE NATASHA NATTINGS. You've just woken up. You feel like you had a wonderful dream, but you can't quite remember what it is. You get up, and go to work on your new book.

*yawn*
Kasumi had just finished off Kefka in FF VI. It'd been about 4 and a half hours since she had started the game. She had played at a record setting pace, of course. Since she was a super level gamer. Stretching out during the credits sequence, he figured she might as well go to the computer and log onto pester, just to see what's up. After all, she had to wait for the credits to finish rolling. And she was quite satiated after eating a bowl of chips and drinking two cans of pop.
Ugh. Everyone out there was so... strange. And had nothing for her to respect.

These "Bonuses" he mentioned game with every class that existed, he just added a little sugar to it so he could keep her interested.
As the self proclaimed game master, this girl would have thought the TIME limit to be outrageous, but hey he knew how to smooth that over... it was just a manner of what words were being used, and in what situation.

Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
So after talking to a psychopathic creeper, Matt got another message from someone that he didn't know. Why were so many random stalkers interested in him today?
So in the time it has taken for him to get this game and start installing it, Matt had already had conversations with a psycho stalker and an annoying "fairy" girl (if it WAS a girl). That game better install quickly before Matt loses his mind.

Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
Well... That wasn't fun. It wasn't necessarily that BAD, but it wasn't fun. And yet.... It did take up some time. Maybe I can talk to someone else for a while? Maybe this time I'll be nicer than just the introduction... Pfft. Not likely. Eh. There is still time to waste away.
That was fun. More so then that last conversation. And I was nice. Kind of. Not that 'Rena' deserved my kindness. I wonder if she believed me...? Probably not. 'I'm really really sorry'? Gosh sarcasm is hard to convey. Hauu. Hauu. Hauu! Hauu? .......Yep. That's annoying. And it sounds disgusting. It sounds happy. And yucky. So does Rena. Rena.... Rena.... Rena? Rena! ....Yeah. That's a cute name. Ugly but interesting. So that's my name from now on. Unless I can find one I like better.
Gosh I wish this game would install faster....

Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
I don't like this greenFairy. At first I thought she was adorable because of that username, but she's nothing like that on the inside. Some people just aren't worth knowing. Even the friends who are only there to share the good times are better than those who hide behind lies and false words.
"LIAR!"
Something about the "fairy" rubs me the wrong way. I spy my cleaver for treasure hunting at the side of the room. I should pack that away so I can go looking for treasure tomorrow.
I wonder if the "fairy" would act like that to my face. I wonder; I wonder. But don't worry, I won't let people like her ruin Rena's good mood. I won't let her make me mad.
I smile and look at the download bar. Still a long time to go. Maybe there's someone better to talk to.

Re: [RP] Netbound: The Rebootation: Downloading Phase
Tsunderella took a deep breath, clearly extremely angry. She looked at the Pesterlogs of the conversations she had just had. She felt extremely angry right now. Redundancy was clearly required.
... What a complete waste of time. Didn't she have anything else to do? She checked the progress of the download... Still not finished. Ugh... How stupid.
