Sorry for missing this weekend’s update again. I’ve just been all over the place personal life-wise.

There’ll be one next weekend.

[familiarstuck]

This weekend’s update will be delayed just slightly while I prepare for a school science and engineering competition!

[familiarstuck]

Huh.

Well you guess it’s better than something fucking stupid, like Lumpus Umpus.

==>

Your name is Casey.

As was previously mentioned, it is your birthday.

What will you do?

[familiarstuck]

No update today while I'm out of the house doing Mothers' Day stuff.

Another short one just while things get started. Higher, but still not quite 100%, chance of a follow-up tomorrow, but don’t hold your breath.

Start Over | Go Back

[familiarstuck]

Update work was slower than expected, and some things came up, so the ‘tomorrow’ I promised six days ago is obviously no longer viable.

You can probably expect another Sunday update. With my school holidays ending this coming week, this will be an update schedule that I’ll hopefully be able to keep up more naturally.

Small update today; just trying to get the ball rolling. You can probably expect another one tomorrow, but with a similarly low amount of content.

The commands link to their associated panels on the MSPFA mirror, which are higher quality. This is going to consistently be the case, on account of Tumblr not being a place designed for hosting Good Images™. So make sure to give the mirror a favourite and add it to whatever RSS feed trackers you kids are using these days.

FAMILIARSTUCK.

A child sits in their bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, 2016, is this child's birthday. Though it was fifteen years ago they were given life, it is only today they will be given a name.

You assign the crook to your STRIFE SPECIBUS.

You retrieve the CROOK OF FRAILTY!

Time to employ something from your DRAWER OF MYSTERY.

> Casey: Exit room.

You've been putting it off all morning - it's time to go rake in your sweet loot.

==>

Although... you don't think you can risk another confrontation with your father while still unprepared.

> Try to summon Tom Daley through the summoning circle.

If you're not advanced enough to summon human body parts with the circle, how do you think you're supposed to summon an entire PERSON?

...but what if it worked?

A whole Tom Daley to yourself.

Alright. You give it a go.

==>

During your attempt to summon Tom Daley, it appears one of your chums has been summoned to their keyboard

> Quickly alchemise arms with summoning circle.

You can't alchemise human body parts! That's way too advanced - or at least for you, at this stage of your training.

And besides, you've already got arms, salamancer! > Examine Summoning Circle

In the corner of your room is your SUMMONING CIRCLE, painted in BLACK OIL on the floor. You use it to practice your skills in the ALCHEMIC and NECROMANTIC ARTS. > Examine Free! poster

These five boys' passion for swimming inspires you. Their hard-working qualities and good-mannered competetiveness are perfect qualites for the role-models of swimmers everywhere!

FREE! FOR THE TEAM!

WOW.

You love things related to your passion of water. Plus, cute animated boys??? Now you've seen everything! > Who's this douchebag?

Tom Daley is your absolute most favourite person related to water of all time. He's such a good role model for young people everywhere! Openly bisexual, he braved the onslaught of homophobia, like he braved the onslaught of pressure at the 2008 olympic games, in which he was the youngest of any nationality to compete! (Outside of swimming of course).

SOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOL!!

He also isn't bad to look at, some people might think.

So wait, can we submit commands to the tumblr?

At some points during the story, yes, we will be accepting commands!

We won’t be opening up commands until after this coming update, though. From then on we’ll probably announce when commands are opened or closed.
