Why do I love this session so much? Why? WHYYYYYYYYYY????????

WHO KNOWS, MAN.

I'm considering posting a bunch of what I had planned to be in the story since I seem to be in no shape to actually produce content. Then you'll have to reevaluate EVERYTHING.

This is my Melsprite headcanon I haven't even shown Melissa yet haha

Melissa first prototypes a polar bear bank, and later, her second prototype will be a future self (that has already ascended. The scratches on her chest come from a first guardian, also a polar bear. More story to come.)

Melissa was made by Melissa. :B

The main strife specibi of Team Double Time, in order by entry. 

[teamdoubletime]

when or where can I read this, sounds awesome

Here, and soon! As you can see, details are being hashed out now, and I hope that by August I'll be able to start on an actual Homestuck-format story for our session. Until then, I'm writing up descriptions for our lands/quests, weapons within our strife specibi (which Melissa is spriting now!), and we're sketching out an 8-character-fan-troll team.

I'm really very excited that someone has taken interest. It makes me that much more pumped to flesh this session out!

Double Helix Modus

London and Nodnol's preferred modus.

When captchalog'd, an item is assigned a gene, combining the letters ACTG in various combinations. To withdraw an item, its DNA must undergo gene expression. The user must transcribe the gene's mRNA equivalent in combinations of ACUG. The mRNA is then translated into codons that must be matched with their anticodons to synthesize the item. When removed from storage, an item's gene will be trimmed from the DNA, but upon reentry will assume the same code. Items are labeled only by their genetic code and image. No two items that are not already duplicates will be assigned the same code. When exact duplicates are stored, the code can undergo expression as many times as there are duplicates before the code is trimmed.

NOTE: Users are warned that the Double Helix Modus is considerably more susceptible to viruses than most other modi. A virus can corrupt items, insert completely new item genes, or remain completely benign upon expression. Viruses can even work to the user's advantage through item duplication, excising existing corruption, or acting as protection against other viruses.

[teamdoubletime]

Shortcut Modus

James' choice modus.

When captchalog'd, an item is set to a shortcut set by the user, and stored in a hard-drive within the modus. The modus has a small screen that allows the user to see what items are stored, but assigned shortcuts are not listed. Shortcuts can be any combination of any number of keys, but must be held down simultaneously upon storage and withdrawal. If an item is stored but unlabeled, it may be accessed via space+enter. Any and all unlabeled items will be dispensed upon holding space+enter for 3 seconds. An item's shortcut may be changed upon withdrawal and reentry. If unchanged upon reentry, it will assume the same shortcut. When withdrawn, an item's shortcut may be used on any new items. Multiple items may be assigned the same shortcut for quick simultaneous withdrawal. Users should be wary to change an item's shortcut if it is stored after entering another item with the former's previous shortcut, otherwise they will be dispensed at the same time. when the shortcut is used. Users are also advised to keep record of shortcuts as their inventory expands, else they forget or incorrectly enter a shortcut. If a shortcut is unused, it will not dispense an item.

NOTE: The modus itself does not have a keyboard. Users may plug in any USB-connected keyboard. As all keyboards are not the same, certain shortcuts may be unavailable if a different keyboard is used.

[teamdoubletime]

Sketch Modus

Ali's choice modus.

When captchalog'd, an item disappears into the touch-screen sketchpad with stylus modus. The item is then saved under a file name chosen by the user. File names can be browsed, but no image of the item will appear. To withdraw the item, the user must sketch the likeness of the item. With few like-items in storage, these can be rather vague sketches. The more items included, the more strongly it is advised that the user take care to be specific, else an incorrect or multiple items are withdrawn. If a sketch is too vague, the modus may dispense an (absurd) item that does not exist within the registry, even mutilating or combining items it recognizes. When withdrawn, an item file disappears from the registry, but will take the same file name if not changed upon reinsertion. Color coding and descriptive file names are good ways to more accurately remember an item's appearance. If an item is not named upon storage, it is named its captchacode. The captchacode is encrypted into each file, and can be withdrawn as a card when the code is written on the screen of the sketchpad.

[teamdoubletime]

Chapter Modus

Rachel's choice modus.

When captchalog'd, an item is added to a story within the modus. This story can be separated by chapters, pages, paragraphs, and sentences. The item must be mentioned in a sentence that fits within the story, and can only be withdrawn when its sentence is recited. Fortunately for the user, the modus presents itself as a book that can be scanned and read. Unfortunately, it does not include pictures because those are for babies. To captchalog an item, the user must continue the story in a linear fashion. An item that has been withdrawn from the story remains written, but is italicized to represent its absence. The modus book does not need to be open if the user has memorized the sentence an item was stored in. If the user does not describe an item thoroughly, it may be confused with another item, even if they were stored in different sentences. The user must appropriate context to the item or an incorrect item may be withdrawn. Once withdrawn, the item must be reinserted into the story at a later point, not its original point of storage.

[teamdoubletime]

Keychain Modus

Vero's choice modus.

When captchalog'd, and item becomes a key-chain resembling its original form. Since the primary key-ring can run out of space, items are often connected to each other when stored. If an item is stored on a ring lower on the chain, it is easy to access. Items higher on the chain with other items attached can be removed, but all following items will be withdrawn simultaneously. This can be avoided with chain loops, which allow the user to connect a key-chain to two or more key-chains that ultimately connect back to the original ring. When any item on a perfect chain loop is removed, it makes (one or) two separate chains, and another item must be added or the user will face the predicament of withdrawing an item higher on the chain.

[teamdoubletime]

Hashtag Modus

Melissa's choice modus.

When captchalog'd, one must tag the item with a #hashtag(s). Tags can be completely unique to the item, or sorted through general tags. It is the user's responsibility to remember the tag(s) assigned to each item. If an item is tagged similarly to another item, with no following tag to differentiate, all like-tagged items will be withdrawn. If an item is not tagged when captchalog'd, the entire inventory will be dumped when withdrawn. If an item is withdrawn, it must be retagged upon reentry. Tags cannot be changed or added once the item is stored, but must be removed and completely retagged.
