1ST WINDY THING

[ghostytrickster]

[ John stammered back. An almost lightness to his step. The flick reaper armor was much too big for him and he looked displaced and awkward in it. He was trying to sort things out. John moved in animated and almost cartoon like motions as he paced (he wished he could float) nervously. His steps a little too wide, his arms swinging a little too widely. Think John, think. ]

[ He does a quart turn. A fist turned side wards slammed into an open palm when he figures it out. ]

I'm in the wrong video game!

[ BRB FREAKING OUT. ]

[ Well. Okay. but he did. ]

[ Ooh. Okay! Girl. Wow! He hasn't actually seen a proper person face to face since he met Rose and she got all ooky-spooky on him. ]

Sort of! I know this is weird sounding, but would you believe me if I said that we were in the wrong video game? But this place is okay I guess!

...

[welp, maybe not.]

Video game? I've heard this place is a game, but I don't know what that means.

[ghostytrickster]

[ Oh. Hmm. Where could she be from where video games don't happen. OH DUH. ]

Are you an NPC?

[mercuryangel]

[Oh right, she heard about this no she didn't but this won't work otherwise. She shakes her head in response.]

They don't get these.

[She takes out her Relic.]

[ghostytrickster]

Oh.

[ The 'Oh' stands for - I do not believe you, you clever NPC. You are about to shepherd me into a conversation where you explain what that's about. ]

I have that too! What does it do?

[mercuryangel]

To be honest, I'm still not completely sure, and it's been over a month since I woke up here.

I do know a few things, though.

[ghostytrickster]

[ OKAY NPC. You can think like that. I will believe youuuu. ]

Well. I just arrived, I guess. Could you maybe help me out and figure out how things work?

[ DO YOUR JOB NPC >:( . ]

[mercuryangel]

[She nods.]

First off, you can add people to your party with it if you have their member address. You can get those just by holding your Relic close to someone else's.

[ghostytrickster]

That sounds really inappropriate!! Is relic like a code word?

[mercuryangel]

Wha? No, it's not like that! Were you even paying attention?

[Unfortunately for Mia, NPCs in Homestuck actually are virtually indistinguishable from actual people, or would be if they were human.]

[Well, the carapaces, at least. Can't speak for the salamanders there.]

[ghostytrickster]

I am but I know how to pay attention to context.

What kind of game is this??

[ SHIFTY EYES. ]

[mercuryangel]

Someone said it was just like an MMO...
