8-bit adventures

* BellaFennix ... hms. Presses 'Start', then?
Cool.
* LOLtendo suddenly realizes that someone's trying to play it. klasjklfjdasf
* BellaFennix --!!
*LOL-ED!*
* BellaFennix ZOT.
D: D: D: D: D:
* BellaFennix is now known as Bella[SuperMario`d]
...what just happened.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] the controller clatters to the floor.
* [dino]Basil startles at the sudden noise.*
*Doo doo doo, do-do-DOO, doo!*
<[dino]Basil> ((XD))
((XD))
... whups.
<`Midna> "What--" She turns. "I turn my back for two seconds..."
<[dino]Basil> What happened?
* Bella[SuperMario`d] x 2 WORLD 1-1
*There's a suspiciously Bella-shaped sprite on screen*
* Bella[SuperMario`d] appears onscreen in all her 8-bit glory o_o What.
*TEXT* SORRY, SORRY
* Metody smacks his forehead. "Ah, geeze!" Then, quieter, "...crap. Can she jump...?"
* Bella[SuperMario`d] akdfs.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ..AAA. MUSHROOM THING.
<[dino]Basil> ...
* Bella[SuperMario`d] jumps -over- it. HA.
<`Midna> "Does... someone else have to control her?"
* `Midna points to controller.
* LOLtendo blips in the negative.
<`Midna> "I guess not." It's always embarassing to lose to the first goomba you see.
"No, she seems to do it fine. Um. Can she hear us?"
D:
* Bella[SuperMario`d] doesn't seem to be able to. Halp. Once past the goomba, she stands there for a few moments (in the game world, she's actually doing a pat-down to make sure everything's still there--unfortunately, this isn't visible due to sprite limitations)
... :D! *lightbulb*
*A small sign draws itself into existence on the level.*
* Bella[SuperMario`d] [?]
<`Midna> "Oh. Wow. Would you look at that."
^_^
* [dino]Basil finds he can hop a lot better as a dinosaur--probably the only bright side--and does so, leaving the bar and hop-walking toward the others. What's that in his little taloned paw?*
* Bella[SuperMario`d] 's pose suddenly changes when she finds out she has her -death ray-. Uh-oh.
*The sign is illegible from the fonts, but seems to indicate that Bella can write on it.*
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ... Writes on the sign 'WHAT JUST HAPPENED'. (And here's where we thank the gods for the translation field)
<`Midna> "Now how do we talk back?"
* `Midna wonders if getting out her spellsphere would do any good...
* Bella[SuperMario`d] hms. Starts making her way through the level, collecting the coins (ding ding ding!) and jumping over the pipes. ..And the next Goomba she sees gets to meet the business end of her death ray. Fear! FEAR THE AMAZING LIGHTNING EFFECTS IN 8-bit. (plunka. 100pts)
*in a TICING typewriter sound on the top of the screen, it reproduces what she wrote*
:O
"....she is so freaking cool."
* Aigis steps through the Sanctuary door and *freezes*.
"... what?"
* LOLtendo :D doitagain, that was friggin' sweet.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ..and the turtle too. ZOT. (plooka. 100pts)
* Jake[giant_snake] is a giant snake rooting around behind the bar.
<`Midna> "You know, she seems to have everything well in hand." o_o
* Bella[SuperMario`d] (well, she is a Spark, and right now she's a -pissed off- Spark. It's theraputic)
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ho-crap. /Stairs/.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] starts jumping up them (jeezus this is annoying)
* Aigis quite literally stops in the middle of her current motion, eyes scanning the room until she can calm down and stop running threat assessment routines. (Is Bella in the Sanctuary proper? Explain plz. It's rather vital to character sanity, a bit.)
* `Midna settles and gets out the same sphere she had twice before. Black thing the size of an apple with blue glowing designs on it. It floats and projects a holoscreen...
"Jump, Bella!"
<[dino]Basil> Hmmm, it does seem that way, even with the lack of communication. *There's that dratted oral fixation again, and he chews absently on the thing in his hand. Oh, hells. Three guesses what it is.*
* Bella[SuperMario`d] is not in the Sanctuary, but there is a Bellaesque sprite on that TV that the LOLTendo is hooked to.
* SSnake stares in silence at the weird tern of events, then at the robot-girl that appeared.
* `Midna starts fiddling with scrawling, angled lines and nodes in OMFGreallygoodrez...
* Bella[SuperMario`d] the game -appears- to be playing itself as Bella makes it to the flagpole. (..There's sort of an odd pause where it takes her a minute to figure out she's supposed to jump at it)
:D :D
* Bella[SuperMario`d] WORLD 1-2 BELLAFENNIX x 2
* Aigis relaxes after the routines complete (in all, roughly 3.29876 seconds elapsed between initialization and completion), and audibly sighs, before opening her mouth to speak, closing it again uncertainly, then:
* SSnake kneels to look as he lit another cigarette.
"... where am I?"
* `Midna finally double-taps a node and starts... playing a game on it. A game that looks suspiciously like tetris.
Sanctuary.
It is a silly place.
* SSnake is for the record, a 30-something year old man with a ronduklously gruff voice, wearing a form-fitting blue-gray suit and a bandanna.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] aaaah. WHAT IS THIS DROPPING THING. Oh. Underground level. She thinks. She Death Rays the two goombas (look, more 8-bit lightning effects!) plooka, plooka 100pts 100pts, and starts through the stage until she reaches a part she has to bust blocks to pass through. ...What.
*to Some* You ain't kiddin'.
<[dino]Basil> *munch munch ...* But it has decent pret--Oh, no.
:D :D *use da beam on it! This is WICKED*
* Bella[SuperMario`d] [. . .]
* SSnake looks at Basil. "What did you do now?"
* Bella[SuperMario`d] coin sound. Explanation point. (if you could see her now, she'd be grinning all sparky like. As it is, sprite limitations don't forwarn you of this)
* Aigis tilts her head slightly to acknowledge she heard him and that she also doesn't understand the meaning. "A safe haven? But I was not in need of one anymore." She blinks.
<[dino]Basil> ...
<[dino]Basil> *PUUF*
* Metody looks up. "This is Sanctuary, the bar in the Nexus. Um. Do you know about the Nexus, or is this your first time here?"
* Jake[giant_snake] perks up when he notices the poof. "Didja find sssomethin'?"
* [dino]Basil is now known as Basil[human]
* Bella[SuperMario`d] takes a step backwards. And -SLAMS- her fist into the bricks. Due to the 8-bit sprites, this looks a lot less dramatic than it actually occured. ~SHATTER.~
... whoa.
* SSnake raises a brow.
* Aigis pauses. "This is my first time here."
...
* Basil[human] makes a series of apoplectic spluttering sounds and all but dives under a pile of blankets.*
Now, -that- was not remotely my fault.
* `Midna 's spellsphere automatically detects for linkable machines. Any in the area? =D?
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ends up doing so several more times before she can continue on. She zots koopas and pirahna plants with the Death Ray as she continues. :|
* SSnake reacges back, and hands over a folded up cardboard box to Basil.
* Some goes out to the laundry room, and returns shortly with a handful of clothing.
((*reaches))
((XDXD BOX!))
* Metody opens his mouth to say something to Aigis and is simultaneously distracted by Basil and Bella. Wait, what?
*don't ask where the box came from*
((XD!!))
*WOOO!*
<`Midna> ((THE BOX WINS!))
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ...stops at the moving platforms. -What-. -Bah-. JUMP JUMP. No sliding. That's Megaman 3
*BEST ROMHACK EVAH*
* Basil[human] is ... /mortified./ He will crawl under the box with whatever Some brings.*
* Bella[SuperMario`d] hey, a pipe! Bew bew bew.
* Aigis stares, because she really can't articulate a more elaborate (or coherent) response at this time.
* Some brought him some of his own clothes, skinny gothy stuff made for a man 5'3".
* Jake[giant_snake] sighs. "I can't find ssshit. I'm gonna hang out at home 'til thiss wearsss off."
* Bella[SuperMario`d] is, for Darksong's benifit, trapped in the wonderful 8-bit world of Super Mario Brothers. She's visible on the screen that the LOLtendo is hooked to.
* Jake[giant_snake] slithers into a sideroom.
<`Midna> *Nooo? Nothing it can communicate with? Oh well. Doo doot. Midna fiddles with more nodes and opens more programs.*
* Jake[giant_snake] is now known as izzyryu
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ..-dammit-, more stairs. Bah. --Another flagpole? Okay, she knows what to do here.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] 1-2 completed. Yay! (Baboom, baboom. Fireworks!)
* Basil[human] finds out very quickly that that isn't going to have a hope at all ever of fitting him and peeks out from under the box.* Where did you find these?
Too short?
I'm afraid so.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] x 2 WORLD 1-3
* LOLtendo COULD just write whatever you guys wanna say into a sign in the game world.
* Some nods, and goes back to try and find something better.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ...has to work her way across these.. ..Tree things. What. .../Flying turtles/ /What/.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] (Say that gives her an idea or thre--) they too, shall fall to the might of Bella's 8-bit death ray.
* Basil[human] ... stays inna box. And he's not moving.*
* izzyryu is now known as Jeff[sunglasses]
* LOLtendo doesn't get that world either. Just go with it.
* Aigis looks, for the room's benefit, like this: http://dokuganryu.com/scans/megaten/p3/art24.jpg Specifically she wears the dark black of the school uniform, the uppermost right image, and thus her inhuman nature is more or less camouflaged.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] is doing good so far, even making it past even -more- of these moving platforms (You don't see it, but she nearly loses her balance on one)
* Jeff[sunglasses] chooses this point to enter, fetching himself a coffee. Tall, skinny, well-dressed and middle-aged, that's our Jeff(-alt). "Good evening, everyone."
How tall do you think you are right now?
* Some comes back with bigger stuff. "Try this?"
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ~jump~ FLAGPOLE and whoacrap that's'a big castle.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] (more fireworks! Five of 'em this time.)
:D *hoooraaaaaay!*
* Bella[SuperMario`d] x 2 WORLD 1-4
<`Midna> *blipblip voom ping! She finishes a level too.*
* Aigis turns to nod to Jeff. "Hello." Yes, that's all she says.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] holy crap. White castle interior. --SPINNING FIRE BARS (hey, that gives her -another- idea)
* Jeff[sunglasses] is quickly distracted by the LOLtendo. "Huh. Is that a..." he trails off and squints at the screen. "Huh?"
"That's Bella. She's got a Win Cannon." Well, he's more or less right.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] also ZOTS the goombas with her death ray and its 8-bit glory, since there are a couple over here.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] --FIREBALL. DUCK.
*The clothing is pulled into the box with a quick 'Thank you.'*
:D
Waaaiiit a second.
* Jeff[sunglasses] knows that death ray.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] jump jump--ANOTHER FIREBALL. DUCK AGAIN.
*The LOLtendo, though it normally supports playing to the rules, has to admit this is pretty fuckin' awesome.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] (even in wonderfultastic 8-bit effects?)
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ...stops. What. Giant turtle thing with spikes. On a /Bridge/. /What/.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] is, for Tod's benifit, visible on the LOLtendo's TV in her 8-bit Super Mario Brothers-style glory.
what?
* Bella[SuperMario`d] ...well, when all else fails, you shoot it. And she shoots it, avoiding basts of flames. Okay, this guy's gonna take more than one shot. ZOT. ZOT. JUMP DODGE.
* Jeff[sunglasses] pulls down his shades and looks closer, a smile slowly creeping over his face. His eyes are yellow and slit-pupiled, with no whites. "Oh, this is *rich.*"
* `Midna is done with the game, keeps fiddling, opens up a blank circle and starts drawing on it...
* Some eyes Jeff with a moment of active dislike, before it's concealed.
:O *She's fighin' BOWSER, ho snap*
**BA-TOOM. Bowser turns into a goomba that drops into the lava upside down. ...It's about that point she notices the axe.
* Tod is now known as Eddie_
* Bella[SuperMario`d] 's sprite stands there as she goes through a bit of an annoyed cursing fest--as, once again, sprite limitations don't show this actually happening.
* Jeff[sunglasses] sits back and watches, clearly enjoying himself.
* Eddie_ walks in. Oh, thank god, it's this place.
"It appears to be a Nintendo Famicom unit of dubious quality," Aigis says, belatedly in response to Jeff's earlier query. "I believe this is one of the Mario Bros' games, but ... it does not look like the version I have seen before."
\o/
"It's not of dubious quality. It's of superior quality. It's a great machine."
*to Aigis* If my theory is correct, it wouln't.
* Bella[SuperMario`d] jumps for the axe, and completes the level! Dootododooo dototododoo doo doo doo doo? And that's when she's shot out of the game world and straight--due to where he's sitting--onto Jeff with a surprised curse in German.
* `Midna 's random drawings seem to morph in themselves as she makes them. Finally she notices the holoscreen forming something that looks like ^_~ on both sides. Blinks. Wipes it clean.
Dubious? Don't insult him.
*HOOOORAY! plz don't hold this against it. ._.*
@_@
* Eddie_ is a slim, red-haired guy somewhere in his twenties, in a stupid orange asylum outfit thing.
* Jeff[sunglasses] is knocked head over heels, his coffee going *everywhere*. There's a lot more surprised curses from Jeff, in Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Enochian.
* Aigis briefly has a giant red exclamation mark appear above her head. She does not notice this happen. "What ... was that?"
* Basil[human] emerges from under the box after a bit of shuffling. He's now wearing nondescript trainers, cargo trousers, and a long suit jacket, under which is a hoodie. He's tall and lanky with thick, messy light-brown hair and appears to be of indeterminate age.*
* Some waves to Eddie. "Hey. Want some chocolate cake?"
*He also emerges just in time to see /this./*
"-Gah!-" She gets up and dusts herself up and groans, "That was an exceedingly surreal experiance" ((BRB, need to walk dog))
* `Midna grabs the orb and the screen winks out again.
"Bella! That was so *cool*!"
<`Midna> "I need to go." She says, standing.
:D
* Some holds out a plate of cake and a glass of (faintly greenish) milk to Eddie.
*Clap. Clap. Clap. ..........................Clap.*
"I don't understand any of this." Join the club, Aigis.
* Jeff[sunglasses] picks himself up with exaggerated dignity and refills his coffee. "Oh yes. Very entertaining."
* `Midna passes by Snake on her way out. "Goodbye, Snake. I hope you find a way back to your mission."
Hey, Some. What's up with the milk?
* Basil[human] takes three steps away from the box and promptly loses his balance. o.o*
I hope so.
Hi everybody else!
It's lizard milk. Tastes good, though.
* Aigis eyes the Famicom dubiously, uncertain as to how she might go about raising the question of how a decrepit, ancient piece of gaming technology (that, admittedly, Junpei would probably pounce her for not stealing immediately, if she thought about his feelings on the matter right now) could gain what appeared to be malevolent sentience, as well as spatial distortion capability.
Good night Midna.
Lizard milk, huh?
* `Midna slips out through a nearby door.
Erh, goodbye.
Is it or the cake going to turn me into anything?
* LOLtendo isn't malevolent! D:
Nope. They're delicious.
* takh|away is now known as takhys
* Bella[SuperMario`d] is now known as BellaFennix
* Notify: BellaFennix is online (DarkMyst).
* Metody reaches out to catch Basil, but has lousy reaction time. >< He offers him a hand up. "Are you alright?"
Well, only because it's green.
"That was.. very interesting to say the least." Jeff just gets a dry look.
