THE BEGINNING - Aniking

After falling asleep, not wanting to take in more of his crazy-looking planet, dallying on Prospit for a while, Elijah reawoke in the Land of Eyes and Dice. He checked pesterchum briefly, before groaning and reluctantly getting up, and again looking out the window into his world. Eyes, giant, staring eyes floated in the sky, while the ground was littered with what appeared to be playing dice of various sizes, some the size of a house. He dreaded going outside, but he had to. First, though, he wandered the expanse of his old house, calling out for his grandparents. He didn't find any bodies, but he didn't find them, either. Deeply troubled, Elijah stepped outside into his weird-looking world and checked his phone again. How was he going to get these machines? And.... alchemy? What?
 
((The alchemiter, cruxtruder, and totem lathe. Those machines.))


A bunch of captchalogue cards litter the floor of the house.
 
((Yeah, I get that, but Elijah's a little slow on the uptake, yknow?))


Figuring he might as well start with... alchemy, or whatever, he turned and headed back inside (glad he didn't have to look at his land anymore). He groaned at the ABSOLUTE EXCESS of captchalogue cards that littered his floor. He picked them all up to add them to his sylladex. Whatever, he thought. ?? had said that he'd need them, so. In any case, he headed back upstairs to see..... machines. Those machines again. The ones he'd used before. Oh. Duh. He'd been in a hurry last time, and flipped over his yo-yo's card to see a code on the back. He thought about the pre-punched card he'd gotten at the beginning, and wondered how to do that to his yo-yo. It took a lot of thinking to come to these conclusions, but he wasn't sure how alchemy worked anyway. He sat on the floor of his house, wondering if he was missing something. How was he supposed to get grist? Break shit? He looked at his grandparents' antiques and gulped. Death by game or grandparents, which was worse? Or maybe, he thought, he had to kill some kind of enemies, like in other games. He hadn't seen any monsters to beat when he peeked outside, though. Shit! What was he supposed to do??? He again turned to pesterchum for help.
 
Well, ZC had said he needed to kill enemies, and he trusted ZC to know what he was talking about. So, with his trusty shitty yo-yo equipped and ready for battle, Elijah strode out of his house and into his world for the first time, hunting for bad guys! After a couple minutes, it was baffling to him how he'd missed so many enemies before. There were fucking imps crawling all over the place! He hid behind a giant die, waiting for one to waddle by before STRIFE!!!


In which Elijah flailed his fucking yo-yo around like a jackass and youth rolled out of harm's way until the low-level enemy exploded into some grist.


After collecting the SWEET LOOT, he promptly high-tailed his ass back home, checking his phone on the way.
 
FUCK YEAH who knew combat was SO COOL?!?!


Back inside his home, high off the thrill of incredibly low-stakes physical combat, Elijah turned to his machines. First, before combining anything on his own, he decided to check out the code ZC had given him:  mUNd03Pk , to see what it would make, and if he'd gotten enough grist from that fucking imp to make it.
 
Elijah's face fell. So killing one imp wasn't enough? That sucked! But, he supposed it made sense.... Imps were kind of lame! So, determined once more, Elijah ran from his house a second time and proceeded to spend the next short while ambushing and killing imps, pausing to pester his chums intermittently. 
 
After a little less than an hour of imp-slaughter, Elijah skipped on home pleased as punch. He figured he probably hadn't killed as many as ZC (he wouldn't have called it a genocide), but he figured he had a healthy amount. Enough to get some fucking yo-yo's, anyway, and that's all he really wanted at the moment. Again, he decided to go ahead and make ZC's yo-yo code, mUNd03Pk .
 
Congrats on getting so much build grist and fluorite, Elijah!


You need: 15 more build grist and 5 more fluorite.

ELIJAH: WOW FUCK OFF!!!!!!!


Elijah felt himself inexplicably yelling at the sky. Stupid stupid game!!!! He didn't usually get this riled up, but damn! This was really testing his patience!!!! This didn't make any sense! If there was one thing he knew, it was math, and if he was right (which he always was, when it came to math-- simply the best there is), if he needed 15 more grist and 5 more fluorite BEFORE, and he STILL needed some NOW... this game was broken!!!! He pulled out his phone and started aggressively pestering the group chat. He didn't want to have to kill more stupid imps just for this one yo-yo!!!
 
Elijah ascends one rung on the echeladder and rests on: "Gristlagger"


All of a sudden the YoYo appears and misses Elijah's face by about one meter.


Some client is apparently having a few internet issues. (IT'S ELIJAH. TRY REFRESHING THE ROUTER)
 
Elijah stared at the yo-yo that appeared, wondering what exactly was going on. Lag? He couldn't help but think it was funny that a game that literally destroyed the entire world and took place in an entirely different area of the cosmos could experience lag. But, whatever. He supposed it made sense; he lived with two old people in the middle of the woods, how great could the internet be? He walked over to his router and refreshed it. He hoped this wouldn't become a consistent problem. No one wants a lagging teammate!
 
Eliljah blinked as his world rebooted. He looked around. How long had it been??? Why had something so simple as refreshing his router fucked up his time so bad? He looked himself over, then the room, then looked outside. What was that all about? He was pretty confused, but didn't know if he should trouble his brain with it. Nothing seemed... Immediately out of place. He figured he should check back with his friends before getting back to making cool shit.
 
Like he thought, nothing seemed too bad. So fuck it! Elijah went back to his room, grabbed his laptop, and returned to the room with the machines so he could work on building ZC's house and think of cool stuff to make at the same time, if he felt like it. First thing he did, which seemed logical, was start by building some walls on top of ZC's roof. He'd never known much about architecture, but.. whatever! The game demanded it!. He began to build simple four-walled structures on top of ZC's home, with stairs leading up to and from each one. He seemed to have quite a bit of grist, so Elijah figured he should be fine.
 
Alex: Look for Elijah


After entering His land you look for Elijah, but he is nowhere to be found.
 
Alex: Pester chums


Better Inform Nova to build up Elijah's house.


Alex: Dream


Not much to do here. Time to dream I guess. Your Body begins to shift to another realm.
 
Alex: Wake up


Jack is Alive! What is he going to do to you! You want to dream but, you don't want too!
