[Action?/Video] April 13th~Happy Birthday to John~

[theheirofbreath]

[If you happen to be living in the school dorms, you may have noticed some strange things on Friday morning. Buckets placed precariously over slightly ajar doors. Many of them filled with glitter or confetti. Careful, they might fall. There is black shoe polish smeared on the light switches in the bathrooms. In the common living area of Deacon hall, all of the chairs have whoopee cushions on them. And a few 'lucky' people have their door blocked off with copious amounts of duct tape. Enjoy. Feel free to ignore the silly pranks. John can be pretty immature.]

[That afternoon, John is getting on the phone.]

Hey guys!

So, it's kind of my birthday today! Would anyone be interested in getting together and watching movies or something?

Did you survive? Others here are dead.

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

Yeah, my friends and I were able to escape right before the meteors hit us.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

To where?

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

That's... kind of complicated. It all had to do with this computer game my friends and I were playing.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

A computer game. Do those usually destroy the world?

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

No, I think the world was gonna end anyway. The game just gave us a way out.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

Maybe a game like that exists here.

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

Hehe, I've been saying that since I got here. That's why I think the dungeon is so important.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

You said something like that in your frequently-asked questions document. You think this place is the game.

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

Well, maybe not the same game.... but yeah. I do.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

...hm. So the object of the game is to return.

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

Not exactly.

Well, I guess I don't really know the object of this game. But Sburb wasn't about going back and saving the world, it was about creating a new one.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

Not just leaving the world destroyed?

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

I don't really know what's going to happen to the world we left behind. It was getting bombarded by meteors last I saw it.

But we're supposed to create a new world to live in. Well, if we win.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

So there will never be nothingness. There will always be a world...

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

That's the idea. Hopefully it all works out.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

Maybe it will. It's strange to think about.

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

Believe me, it's even stranger when you're actually doing it.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

Probably. ...When are your friends getting here?

Re: [action]

[theheirofbreath]

[He shrugs.]

I dunno. But even if no one comes, it'll still be a pretty good birthday.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

...okay.
