BEFORE THE MEDIUM - turntechSlimeghost

> Mess around.


Eh, you guess you could mess around. It would get you to forget about how stupid you were.


Zeph: hmmm..


Zeph: boop!


You move your cursor over to Avery, giving him a little click.
 
> Drop something in there.


Exactly what you were about to do!


You quickly type something, and move your cursor around.


You click 'Deploy' in your menu. A tab appears below it, and you scan over what they were.


Something about no 'grist' needed? You shrug, and you click the one that says 'Cruxtruder' first and plop it down by Avery. You don't realize that, in real-time, it would fall a few feet from the air and make this HUGE-ASS noise.
 
You begin deploying more things around Avery's house.


You set down the 'Alchemiter' near the bathroom, the 'Totem Lathe' in the kitchen, and a Pre-Punched card right by Avery's feet.


Then, suddenly, you realize:


Who's going to be your server player?


'RP' doesn't seem to be on right now, and you feel too weird about Questy to ask.
 
You've calmed down a little, knowing that you'll have a server player.


In the meanwhile, you're exploring the controls of the menu.


Hmm.. Move, Revise, Deploy, Phernalia Registry, Grist Cache, Atheneum, Alchemize..


You know what Deploy and Phernalia Registry do. Hmm.


You watch as the 'seizure ball', the kernelsprite, floats near Avery. That cruxite dowel is now in Avery's sylladex.


Wait, cruxite dowel? Is it that pink-purple cylinder thing??


How do you suddenly know what that, along with the kernelsprite, is??


You shrug, assuming it's just the effects of playing the game.

Right now, you are staring at pictures, beautiful pictures, of the Green Sun.


You don't seem to be doing anything else, including being aware that Avery 's Cruxtruder is counting down and that certain doom approaches closer to whoever opened their Cruxtruder by the second.


Man, you've never been so mesmerized by something in your life. Well, aside from that one time you talked to someone else for the first time.
 
Ah, how beautiful-


Wait.


You just remembered that Avery's Cruxtruder is counting down.


OH SON OF A BIIII-


-SCUIT.


You begin to quickly type away at your keyboard, trying to tell Avery what to do.
 
Zeph: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-


Zeph: -?!?!?!


Zeph: OW!


Zeph: ow...


Ow.


That


actually hurt quite a bit.


You hiss in pain as you gently put your own hand to your face. Sniffling, you put your free hand back on your keyboard.


Well, at least you stopped screaming. You ignore the slight throbbing on your face as you type.

You try to do something with your computer.


You take your client disc and stand up, looking at the CD slot. You open it to find..


Extra space, enough for another disc.


Oh my god, how did you not notice that you could fit two discs in there? Ugh.


Although you felt a little more stupid for not knowing, after nearly 3 whole years of having this computer, you slide in your client disc. You sit back down, and watch as another SIGMA tab pops up.


While waiting for it to load, you go back to your server window and see that Avery is holding his Cruxite Artifact; a purple book. You then open your Pesterchum window back up, un-idling yourself yet again.
 
You sigh in partial relief.


You are relieved to see that Avery probably made it to the Medium place, but you aren't as relieved when you see a meteor heading for your island.


Zeph: OH GOD OH GOD


Zeph: OH NO OH NO NO


Zeph: SOMEONE CONNECT


You begin to frantically click on your SIGMA client tab, as well as mash the enter and shift keys.


You have not established a connection with a server yet, but the meteor doesn't seem to care about that.
 
OH NO YOU ARE GOING TO DIE-


Oh, you've connected with someone.


You hear the thuds of the machines being placed down inside your house. A small part of you hopes that one of them accidentally crushes your grandma, but most of you wants to just stay alive.


You get up and turn to go do what you need to do with those machines, but you trip over a book. You get up, confused as you look down at a strange book that has suddenly appeared. It looks like some sort of guide book.


Glancing between the book and the machines, you don't know what to do first.
 
Mm, good idea! Convenient, too; you've suddenly forgotten how to use those machines.


You pick it up, not having to worry about accidentally captchaloguing it. You flip it open.


Hmm.. Ooh, helpful information.


Prospit.. sounds.. familiar.


You ignore it for now, and move down to the machinery.


Phernalia Registry.. you remember that. It's the thing you click to deploy those machines.


Mmm.. oh! Cruxtruder, and other names of the machines. You close the book and mutter "England", captchaloguing it this time and walking to the Cruxtruder.


The meteor is already coming down, even before you've opened it. Following the guide book, you take out your rifle. You can easily reach the top of the Cruxtruder on your tip-toes, and you bop the top of it with the butt of your gun as hard as you can. It doesn't work, so you try again. Still doesn't work.


After probably 7 or 8 attempts, you can feel iminent doom approaching. Without a second thought, you groan and stand back, beginning to shoot at the top.


The top finally opens, and out comes the seizure ball known as a kernelsprite. You remember that you have to prototype it, and fast. Before you do, you look at the timer.


4:22, 4:21, 4:20 ...


It continues counting down, and you rush to find something to prototype your kernelsprite with.


Uh.. um..


OH!!


You have a dog doll in your sylladex!


Zeph: OH!!


Zeph: mexico!!


You're excited as the doll drops into your hands. You throw it into the green kernelsprite, where it proceeds to glow fiercely and take form.


It turns into..


Doggollsprite: bork!!!!
 
> 420 BLAZE IT


After beholding this beautiful thing you've allowed to come into this world, you turn to see that the timer seems to have stopped counting down at 4:20.


How.. odd.


You suddenly hear this voice in your head shouting '420 BLAZE IT'.


What is this 'blazing' that this voice speaks of? You don't know, but you know you've heard of it before. You just don't remember what it means exactly, and you don't remember where you heard it from. You assume it's a word that one of your friends online had mentioned before this all happened. You shrug, and you make a dash back to the Cruxtruder to retrieve a Cruxite Dowel. Without much effort, surprisingly, you retrieve it and run to the Totem Lathe. You pick up a punched card on the way, and your Doggollsprite follows you wherever you go.


You slide the card into the slot on the Totem Lathe, and place the dowel in between the gap. The Totem Lathe holds the dowel in place and immediately begins to 'carve' it.
 
> Grab the lathe and slam it upside someone's head.


You would slam it upside your grandma's head, but you're too afraid of actually killing her. Besides, where was she now? You have no clue, nor are you too concerned at the moment.


The lathe finishes carving the dowel, and you recall that a carved dowel is called a Cruxite Totem. You grab the totem and run to the Alchemiter. Quickly, you place the bright green totem onto a small pedestal thing. A laser appears from the Alchemiter, attached to a robotic arm. It scans the totem.


The Alchemiter suddenly zaps in an item.
