[TherosPherae]

You are now the Dreamer.

What is your name?

[Dsarker]

Wide Awake

[TherosPherae]

As cool as it would be if your name was Wide Awake, complete with red font, it is not.

It's close enough, though.


Your name is Wade Iwake. You have been asleep for the past millenium or so, completing only the tasks necessary to your survival - and even then, you were unconscious. There are many rumors orbiting what will happen when you awake, from every woman on the planet sneezing to a storm of pink elephants wiping out civilization to the apocalypse coming complete with Thirty-Eight Horsemen. You aren't entirely sure which of these are right, if any. Hell, since this is your first time awake, you aren't entirely sure where on the planet you are - if even which planet, really. Regardless, you seem to have a registered ENTITY file with the government and all the benefits that entails, complete with unlimited wireless network access. You are known as DreamDeath on the MANTRANET, for some reason. Gosh, you hope your subconscious didn't do anything weird.

What do you do?

[BunnyBob77]

Troll the MANTRANET.  I have no idea what it is, but it sounds like the internet so you can probably troll it.

[TherosPherae]

Sure. You just woke up after a millennia of nothing but dreams, let's kick it off by being an asshole to some random person you don't know.
You sign onto the MANTRANET, the government-based internet for psychics, and are automatically messaged by some guy. Probably a system welcoming message.

SA: Hello sir, and welcome to the MANTRANET. May I please have your name, psychic capabilities, and date of birth?
DD: sup nutmunch
DD: name's Wade Iwake, date of birth is some time a thousand years ago, and my psychic powers are Zupdog.
SA: Sir, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Zupdog as a psychic power. Just what is Zupdo- wait, did you say a thousand years ago?
DD: NOT MUCH, WHATZ UP WIT YO-
DD: oh damn, you killed the joke
DD: and yeah, thousand years or so
DD: that a problem?
SA: Oh shit, you're the dreamer aren't you?
DD: ....maybe
SA: shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshi-
DD has logged off
SA: SHIIIIIIITTTTTTTT

Well that was... pretty much what you expected. Maybe a bit too much swearing on the other gentleman's part, but there's not much you can do about that.

What now?

[Dsarker]

Well, that wasn't very nice of him.

Let's hack him through the MANTRANET.

[TherosPherae]

Oh yeah, that was rude. Let's hack his ass.

Because attempting to do a something probably highly illegal through a government-moderated IMing system for petty revenge over swearing is totally a good idea. Besides, you don't even know where to start with hacking - it's not like the millennia-old guy came with a manual or anything.

You try anyways, and your meager attempt at hacking - which involves opening up a command window in your visor and pinging the guy's Internal Placement address over and over and over again - fails spectacularly.

You should probably consider doing something else now.

[Cerol Lenslens]

Well, since we've woken up, let's look around and see where we've woken up.

[TherosPherae]

Right. Location check. Might as well looks around.

Pretty much the only really interesting thing you see is the city off in the distance - and you're not even sure it's a city.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sorry such a small update took so long, but I was deciding what location I wanted him to be in, where I want this to go, etc.

[Dsarker]

Head towards The City

[TherosPherae]

You begin your trek towards the city. Even though you're capable of hovering at about 20mph, this is still gonna take a bit. Might as well talk to people on the way...


You sign on to a more widely distributed messenger client, and notice that you already have some people listed as contacts. You recognize the bottom fellow as the same man who greeted you on the MANTRANET system - the other two are complete mysteries. You hope this is due to a system that automatically chooses contacts for you, and that you haven't done anything stupid in your dreams.

So who do you talk to?

[Dsarker]

PillagingPlunder!

[Powder Miner]

SuperstitiousArmory :}

[TherosPherae]

You decide to talk to the red guy and the green... person, you don't even know their gender yet. So let's try the red first, since we already know we can scare him shitless.

DD: yeah, call me back when you're not drunker than an irish skunk
DD has signed off
pP: ....<3 *hic*

Well that was fricking weird, and you still have a bit of time before you hit the city. You guess you could try a random call and see who you pick up, or you could talk to the gold person. Or you could try talking some more to either of these two, although you're not entirely sure that would be a good idea.

So what do we do to kill time on our not-on-the-road trip?

[Roboboy33]

Talk to the gold guy.
