Realistic or Modern SBURB: YCM (Your Choices Matter)

[Squad141]

You awaken in the cold, sweat dripping down your face.

It’s dark, and for a few minutes you have no idea where you are or what’s going on.

Sitting up, you can feel something underneath you. Hearing a muffled thump somewhere, wherever you are, you try and squint to see where you are...

There are figures all around you! You’re in some small room, on a kind of rectangular mattress, with shadows lining the walls and one that’s extremely close to your right.

Your memory is foggy...how did you end up here?
Where are you?
What were you doing?
How did this happen?

...

Who are you?

[1] Male
[2] Female​

 

[Squad141]

That's right...

Your a GIRL!
How did you ever forget that?

Now that you've got your gender figured out, you decide to brave wherever you are.
Sitting up, you stumble past the dark shadows and figures, watching, and waiting silently around you.

As you reach the wall parallel to where you were, you feel around, and feel some kind of small, plastic box.
A LIGHT SWITCH!
Hurriedly, you flip it, and turn around to face your oppressors-

Oh.
You facepalm as you realize its your bedroom, and you simply forgot to turn on a lamp or something.

Those dark figures were nothing but the furniture in your room,
and that thump was probably the only other person living with you.

Sighing, and regaining your composure, you begin to tidy up.
A good day begins with a good mind, and a good mind needs a good clean every now again.

Turning around, you face your door, seeing that your nametag, an accessory on your door, is crooked.
Straightening it to look nicer, you decide to read it.
It says a few inspirational quotes, but the most obvious thing on it is your NAME.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What Is Your Name?

(I don't have options for this one, I simply want you all to follow a pattern of:
Four (First Name) Six (Last Name))​

 

[Squad141]

The placard proudly displays the name NOVA ANDERS, as the centerpiece of the doorframe.
You smile, then turn and keep cleaning up.

You put clothes away, make your bed, and even organize various items around the room
into appropriate drawers and containers, just for the fun of it.

As you finish, you wipe your hands against each other, proud of your handiwork, when...
…
There's still something bothering you...

WHat could it be? You begin thinking...Girl...Nova...

OF COURSE! How could you forget one of the most basic ideas in human nature?

--------------------------​

 

[Squad141]

Ah yes, of course! GREEN, that's your favorite color!

In fact, that's the color of the wallpaper to your room as well (complimented by a fine shade of white).
Speaking of your room, you decide to view your handiwork.

Standing at the foot of your BED, your facing your DESK that sits on the wall parallel to you, which contains miscellaneous PAPERS and other RANDOM TOOLS.
Sitting on the desk, is your trusty touchpad DESKTOP computer that you got last summer. It came with a wireless KEYBOARD and MOUSE, and you've used it as much as you can.
Slightly to the right of the desk, is your door, decorated with a variety of phrases and your NAME in bold letters.

To your right, lies a small beanbag chair that you sit in to read when its raining outside, as well as your DRESSER and your WALK-IN CLOSET.
To the immediate right and left of your bed are two small bookcases, both containing a variety of MANGA and BUMBLEBEE PROPGANDA...

Speaking of bees, to your left, next to the wide window that sits in the middle of the wall, is the organized pile of BUMBLEE PLUSHIES and STUFFED ANIMALS that you love so.
You just adore their habits, hence why many of the furniture designs in your room are white and have small carvings of the cute things.

As well as the window and the pile of plush, lies the door to your SMALL BATHROOM, a HAMPER, an ELECTRIC GUITAR SETUP and a FLOOR LAMP.

You don't really have anything to do today...maybe you can find something in your room?

[Squad141]

First things first: Mood Lighting.

You get up off your bed, walk the few feet over to your LAMP, and flip the switch.
Cool.

But getting to business, you walk over to one of your bookshelves, and take out of your MANGA stories.
You've always been into Japanese culture a bit, but the reading aspect of it, and how they draw so differently from America, just intrigues you so much.

But it's mostly the STORY.

The one your currently holding is called 'SECOND STAR'. Its the story of a girl who is unwittingly launched into an alternate dimension by a small group of fantastical gods,
in order to stop a villain based on the girl herself. She has to pass through trials based on Tarot Cards to complete her task, and become a better person
along the way to defeat the really bad guy: her inner demons.

Its a good book, and your only on Volume 3 at the moment. You place it down next to the rest of your rentals, as well as your Bumblebee magazines which you
read from time to time.

What now?

[Squad141]

You put down your paperback book, and walk over to the LAMP.

It's a nice lamp.
You turn it off.

Cool.

You walk over to your DESK, in a moment of boredom.

Its a very nice desk, and you're glad you made it.
Since you're in HIGH SCHOOL, you decided to take shop class on a whim, and actually kind of enjoyed it.
In the end, for your final project, you created this beautiful white-wood desk that has four drawers and a large space on the right to put a chair into it.
It even goes with your rooms COLOR! And though you decided not to follow that line of thought and dropped the class, this desk will always serve as a reminder of those older days.

On the desk, lies your oh-so-loved DESKTOP COMPUTER, as well as the WIRELESS KEYBOARD and MOUSE that came along with it. There's of course a little bit of clutter as well:
a paper-mache SKULL you made in preschool, a glass JAR OF RANDOM COINS, a small DESK LAMP and a picture of you and the other resident in this abode.

In the desk, there lies a labyrinth that you always tell yourself to explore, but never do. Below, resides a maze of grade-school PAPERS and long lost JOURNALS,
mountains of half-empty PENS and other miscellaneous crap that has somehow found its way down under.
----------------------------------------------------------------
You're standing in front of your desk.
Should You Interact With It?

> Sit Down and Turn On your Desktop
> Go Through Drawers
> Collect...Obtain...What even is your inventory, anyways?

Or Are You Interested In Something Else?

> Sort through Hamper
> Play Some Guitar

> Turn On Lamp​

 

[Squad141]

The LAMP...
Many a day you've switched it on and off, but never have you felt so emotional over it since this moment.
You can hear the romantic music crescendo as you walk over to it, crying tears the size of marbles, and switch it back on...
Amazing! It's light surrounds the room, giving it a comfortable glow that you had missed. Truly, you were mistaken earlier...

You walk back over to the DESK, but stop.
You haven't really used your inventory system, huh?
Focusing, a GRANNY SMITH APPLE appears in your hand, and you take a bite out of it.
As you do this, a window pops up in front of you, composed of 3X2 GRID, currently containing nothing.
Your APPLE inventory has always been interesting, and you use it quite a bit during school.

Sitting down at your DESKTOP, you boot it up.
Your background is that of a gypsies caravan, with a CRYSTAL BALL the center of attention.
You have only a few icons on your screen, showcasing a few more bits of personality:
WORLDWIDE, your favorite browser to use. You have quite a few websites to look at on that if you wanted to.
AOL REBOOT, a reboot that's classier and much better than its older, clunkier counterpart. It's all the rage currently with your generation.
PHOTOSHOP, because your love of creating graphical images is hard because you can't draw, so this is the next best thing.
And ARCADE, a downloadable client that allows you to shop, mod, and download free games from indie developers.
---------------------------------------------------
You're on your desktop.
What Should You Look At?

> Open Worldwide and Look at WEBBIT
> Message a friend on AOL Reboot
> Mess around on Photoshop
> Check game updates on Arcade
> Exit Desktop​

 

[Squad141]

You click on the ARCADE symbol, which is that of an ARCADE CABINET typically found in buildings of the same name.

Your home page isn't really that different. There's your PROFILE picture (the same as your background), and your username is joan_of_arc_III.
In the the top-right corner of the page, a small red dot is flashing, indicating one of your games your own/follow has been updated in some way.
Clicking on it, you see a small handful of games that you enjoy, but the one at the top is the selected one that piqued the most internet: SBURB.

You remembered why you had followed the game in the first place. It was going to be a kind of simulation-action-adventure game, which really surprised you with the genre mashup.
You followed its creation, and though you were tempted many times, you never bought the ALPHA or BETA test release.

Looking at SBURBs store page, the game appeared to have been fully released!
And it only cost...
...

You blinked, looking at the small amount of money you didn't have.
Welp. It was a fun idea while you had it. Maybe you could have played it with him...

Suddenly, you realize you didn't check the other notifications.
Scrolling down, you see one is from a conversation a user you don't know started with you a few days ago, on the release of SBURB.
Their name was stripes-n'-bells, and they appeared to had a written quite a bit.

Out of curiosity you open the message. Quickly scanning, you understand the gist of the message.
Its that he (or she, but your going to assume its a he for now) is one of the lesser-known developers of SBURB, and that you were one of the few chosen to get a free copy of the game.

Apparently, the version you got was the version that was created right before the official release, free of bugs but full of small details the developers missed before checking back.
He then included a key code, which allows someone to get a game from a user.
This meant he was either seriously trolling you, or he was telling the truth.
--------------------------------------------------
You on the SBURB store page.
What Would You Like To Do?

> Check to See if the Key Code works
> Go on WEBBIT using Worldwide
> Message a Pal on AOL Reboot
> Turn Off Desktop​

 

[Squad141]

Yor curiosity overtakes you, and you copy the KEY CODE to your clipboard, and close the conversation.
Clicking off of SBURBs store page, you open your game library, and open the code box that allows you to enter it.
You paste the code, and click VALIDATE.

…

A large green thumbs up appears, before fading away, leaving you with a sense of mild shock, as the name SBURB is now in your list of owned games.
You click on it, and see that it really is the pre-release version the guy was talking about.
Though it did say that you needed friends for it...

Speaking of friends, you remember saying that you'd message one today after you woke up.
You minimize ARCADE, and click on AOL REBOOT, as the little Orangeman does a stand-still running motion.

After a few seconds, a chat prompt pops up, and you select the user you wish to speak with: Grey_Wiz.

Grey_Wiz: I guess I missed it
joan_of_arc_III: you really do like this game, huh?

Grey_Wiz: Really, after that?
Grey_Wiz: Just kidding, I totally would if I had the game.
Grey_Wiz: But mum forgot my allowance last week, and she's gone right now.

Getting off the computer, you walk over to your musical setup.
While your friend may be more inclined to have classical music insie his home, you enjoy the electric guitar more.

You crouch down, plug in the instrument, and turn on the speaker.
You pick up the guitar pick, and begin playing.

You get in the rhythm, picking up the music, feeling it in your soul.
You feel at peace.
After that lovely music, you feel as if you should use your APPLE INVENTORY for something...
Oh wait! You mentally facepalm as your bite into your INVENTORY, then open it. You unsling your guitar from around your neck, and captchalouge its components.
You have now captchalouged the GREEN LEAF GUITAR, the PICK, and your SPEAKER + CABLE.

[Squad141]

A WEAPON? Unlike a few other kids of your generation, you really aren't that aggressive with your family.
But maybe you should, for unforeseen circumstances?

You audibly shrug, and begin making a small collection of ITEMS.

After a few minutes, you have a small collection of ITEMS you can use, and are ready to choose.
However, its not very big, and you feel like you could choose better after you look around your room a bit more.
----------------------------------
You get to choose your weapon.
What Will You Choose?

[Squad141]

Maybe there were better things in your closet or dresser, but you've made up your mind.
You head over to your BOOKCASES, and captchalouge three manga:
SECOND STAR, PERSONA 5 (THE NOVEL), and ASSASINATION CLASSROOM.

Thinking carefully, you take out SECOND STAR and put it in your STRIFE DECK.
Your deck automatically assigns itself to BOOKKIND, with a subtype of PAPERKIND.
This also removes it from your SYLLADEX, leaving four spaces available.

You twiddle your thumbs, now having lost a copy of your favorite new series, all because of some strange impulse. Stupid.

Walking back over to your desk, you sit down and open ARCADE once more.
You go to your LIBRARY, and click the icon for the game SBURB.
You hit install.

A blue-green bar begins to fill up slowly on the bottom of the screen, showing the wait time for installation, before it can even be played.
Well, this sucks. Maybe you can do some other stuff while its installing, then come back and play it?

[Squad141]

You walk over to your mound of plushies, and begin to look at all the amazing fluffy and comfy objects you've collected over the years.

The first thing you happen to come upon, is a smaller, spherical cartoonish plushie bee that consists of a two black dots and a a smile, plus the body and large wings.
You named him BARRY, as he was the first one you got after you moved here, and your love for the disappearing insects began.

Next, you crawl through the mountain of softness to find a different kind of bee, this one has white-and-blue eyes, and has legs and arms like a cartoon character. It has small antennae,
and a bright red nose, as well as a lovable smile. Its wings are smaller than it, yellow, and very ignorable. Its body, however, has aged with it, and has become almost white, fading from the yellow it once was.
You named him BO. He was a gift from your grandmother, who found it in her attic when she was cleaning it out.

Finally, you underneath a mountain of cuddly looking wings, you find the jewel of your collection: BENSON.
He is a CUDDLE CUSHION, one of those pillow things that were popular in the earlier 2000s, and that got rid of them as they grew up.
You found in outside your apartment, beginning to collect dangerous substances. Taking pity on it, you washed it, and now it resides with you in your room.
---------------------------------------------
You are standing in front of your pile of bumblebee plushes.

[YOU HAVE {3} SPACES LEFT IN YOUR {Granny Apple} MODUS]

You, now equipped with the necessity of any trip around the house on a day off, walk over to your dresser.
Its actually pretty old, but its crafted from a dark-oak wood, and has that scent of HOME.
When you, after struggling for a good few seconds, open the bottom drawer, you see a wild selection of clothes that allow you to express yourself.
Wait...
Are you STILL in your pajamas?
Time for a makeover!

You grab some clothes from the drawer, dash into your BATHROOM, close the door, and look in the mirror...

[Squad141]

After a good five minutes of freshening up and just generally making yourself look better than a hot pile of steaming trash, you smirk, and turn the lights on in the bathroom.
Because yes, you can get ready in the dead of night without the lights on.
Don't judge me. I'm the one who's writing this.

But either way, as your eyes adjust, you put on your glasses, and look yourself over...

…
IT'S YOU!

As you exit the bathroom, you hear a small ding noise from your desktop. Looks like SBURB has finished downloading!
But you also wonder if Grey_Wiz is back online yet...

joan_of_arc_III: you were trying to find that survey, weren't you?
Grey_Wiz: ...
Grey_Wiz: Anyways, so I scrolled through for a good ten minutes, and guess who I didn't find?
Grey_Wiz: Mister Stripes and Bells himself. Meaning, either he's a hacker,
Grey_Wiz: Or he's a 'secret developer', which haven't existed since the making of E.T. on the Atari
joan_of_arc_III: well
joan_of_arc_III: he must be the former then, because i already installed the game

The GIFT CODE! Of course, how did you not think of it before!
ARCADE gave a special feature to all of its long-standing members on its FOURTEENTH ANNIVERSERY, allowing them to gift games to others for free, if they already owned them.
You, being you, printed out the copy to keep in your DESK DRAWER, so you wouldn't forget it.

You open the drawer.

It's not there.

[Squad141]

You scamper over to your walk-in closet, and begin to look through the various items stored in there.
Dang, you really need to clean this out when you have the time.

Starting with the biggest things you can see, you have various items of CLOTHING that are hooked on either side of your, with the use of THICK METAL HANGERS.
Some of the clothes and their corresponding hangars currently reside, forgotten, on the ground. You search the pockets of every item you can currently interact with.
You get back, sighing, and keep looking.

To your immediate right, is a SHOE HANGAR, which has a bunch of mismatched pairs of VARIOUS FOOTWEAR.
The one most prominent, however, is the smudged surface of the forbidden...
LIME GREEN CROCS.
You shutter, and quickly turn to look away from the monstrosities you used to call friends.

In the very back of the closet is the main component of said closet: a large, white METAL SHELF with various KNICK-KNACKS and things of that sort on it.
At the very top, you see two dusty MODEL ROCKETS from your first science fair, and a MYSTERIOUS WOODEN BOX that you can't seem to remember...
Welp. If you can't reach it now then the CODE probably isn't up there.

ON the next shelf down, lies an alarmingly large PILE OF NEWSPAPERS, all of which contain news about the achievements of a certain BRITISH BOARDING SCHOOL.
Sitting next to them, is your pair of BEETS HEADPHONES. You were actually looking for those! But now's not the time.

Below that, there's the first shelf that's about eye-level for you.
There lies an EMPTY SODA BOTTLE, some random CARDBOARD BOXES, a striped CAP WITH A BUMBLEBEE on it, and a strange, BROWNISH NECKLACE that has strange symbols on it...

O the shelf that's level with your thighs, you notice your SPINNY-THINGY.
It's made to look like some kind of rocket-carousel ride, but you don't remember how long you've owned it.
But it's there, and you push back the urge to start it.
Next to the SPINNY-THINGY, there's also a large METAL LETTER N (from your old room), your NINTENDO 3DS and its CASE, and a RED NECKERCHIEF.

On the last shelf, where your knees can reach, there's a large variety of NOVELS, CHILDRENS BOOKS, and EMPTY PLASTIC BOXES FROM PRE-SCHOOL.

Then, there's the stuff on the ground.
IN no complete order, you find the following:
Your HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK, your BACKPACK, a GUITAR MAGAZINE, your WALLET,
a bundle of SCRUNCHED-UP TIES, … JUMANJI (since when did you own that)?, a small, BLACK FLASHLIGHT, and...
your BOX OF MEMORIES.

After a thorough search of the closet, you begin to get frustrated. However, your mood lifts when your realize you've narrowed down the places it could be.

You're standing in your closet.

ABSO.

NOT.

You have vowed to everything that you are worth, since the day you discovered the love of FLIP-FLOPS, you would never,
ever,
even think about touching those GREEN MONSTROSITIES.
It would take more than the END OF THE WORLD for you to even touch.
Ugh.

Speaking of the mysterious box, you realize, as you look up at it again, that even if you did manage to reach, you would need a KEY.
But that's not what you're goal is at the moment.

Speaking of which, yeah, if you're going on any kind of epic journey, you need to keep your internet portal with at all times.
You quickly dash around your rom, trying to look calm as you frantically search for the DEVICE.

Finally, you descend upon your BEDSIDE TABLE, and find it there, charging with the CORD and BOX installed into the wall.
You pick it up (not CAPTCHALOUGE, as you have a thing called POCKETS), and contemplate what to do next.

You quickly look through the BESIDE DRAWER just in case, but your suspicions are confirmed, as there is no CODE to be found.

You then stand on the top of your BED, making sure to stand a good distance away from the slowly rotating FAN.

You close your eyes, and feel your inner STRIPES, and the noise begins.
BBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...
You open your eyes to find you've jumped off your BED, and are now running around your room in a happy panic.
You're surprisingly okay with this.

As you run around your room, you see passing glances of furniture in the room, and as you pass your DESK, your brain starts to work...
You stop mid flight, having a revelation.
You Captchalouge, and FACEPALM. How could you be so stupid.
You now know where the CODE is! In the drawer in the kitchen, which is where the FAMILY NOTEPAD is!

[Squad141]

As NOVA begins to open her BEDROOM DOOR, you begin to sink into a different consciousness...

You are looking out your WINDOW. It's a beautiful fall afternoon, and you are sitting watching the LEAVES go by and your PEERS walk around CAMPUS.
You sit back and YAWN, adjust your glasses, and close your eyes for a second.
You wonder if your FRIEND has found that CODE of hers yet.
You doubt it.

You stretch your arms, forgetting what time it was, and look back at your DORM ROOM.
Its small and spacious but-

Your view suddenly lurches as your vison changes back to the white-ish walls of YOUR HOME.
Sorry, but this CODE and GAME are a bit of importance of you. No time for DETOURES.

With a very quiet movement, you reach into the hallway, and flip the LIGHSTWITCH.
HE can't see you if HE can't see.

Then, with a quick look from the light of your BEDROOM, you book it.

You nearly trip over the carpeted floor, and try to FLAT-RUN (or run really silently) past HIS door, reaching the darkened staircase, and quickly vaulting onto the stairs rail.
Sliding down, MARY POPPINS style, you reach the dimly lit LIVING ROOM.
You know that the CODE is in the KITCHEN, but it couldn't hurt to look through the contents of the LIVING ROOM...
Or, follow your true MOTIVE, and keep going.
