Update #11 (A.K.A We’re Back, Baby)

(FIRST UPDATE HERE)   

Your name is ERICHA RENDER.  Though some may see your HOBBIES as a bit UNORTHODOX on Alternia, you love them dearly. You prefer a WARDROBE of a more... colorful disposition, filling your closets and shelves with tapestries of RANGING HUES. And just as they sit very neatly in the drawers, so do they upon your body, for you are a very FASHIONABLE troll. Sadly, as much as you love the outfits, you can’t very well operate a sewing machine. Some would say you’re DOWNRIGHT HORRIBLE at it. That task is left to others.

You tend to SHY AWAY from meeting trolls in person, since you have a nasty

little

habit of

STUTTERING when around those you don’t know. This manner acts as a barricade between yourself and social interaction, so most of your time is spend with your snout stuffed in a BOOK. Or two. Or fifty...

You have a lot of books...

Your trolltag is minervasPhilharmonic And the ends of your phrases are often synchronic What will you do?

> Ericha: Examine room.

Surrounding your are bookshelves, filled to the brim with dusty tomes. The hiveplants stacked on them make the room even more dusty. It’s lucky you aren’t allergic to dust. You would be dead. 

Tucked safely into the corner is your trusty violin. It may be the only thing in the room without a thin layer of particles resting on it. And on the table, next to your paper and quill is your husktop. It recently pinged with a message from Trollian.

> Ericha: Answer.

Open pesterlog.

We’re Back Baby!

Well, soon, anyway.  So, so sorry for basically dropping off the face of the earth! Scaredy and I were both really busy with end of the year school stuff, and went on an unannounced hiatus. But, we’re coming back!  A week from now, on May 23rd, we’re gonna be up and posting updates again. We have not decided what kind of update schedule we will follow, but there will be updates! So, look forward to that!

-- White Dragon

[vagaboundfantrolls]

love your story! please do more soon!

Don’t worry friend! We’ll get back up and running soon! Both of us are just hella busy with end of the year school stuff. Once that’s done we’re going to start cranking out the story again. I’m so pleased that you like our story, too! :D-- White Dragon

[phantasmal-arts]

I was experimenting with shading, and, I actually like the results??

Update #10

(FIRST UPDATE HERE)  

Oh no… What did he do now?

==>

Oh just GREAT. Your illustrious and completely elegant Batdad knocked over a shit ton of cameras and keyboards and is now trapped in the pile. Good job. Best lusus. How did he even do that? Seriously, he’s a hazard to society, not to mention himself. You don’t even think there were that many cameras on top of that monitor! You don’t even think you OWN that many cameras! … Oh what are you saying, of course you own that many cameras.

> Altana: Free Batdad.

Alright, alright. You think you should just keep him in there. He might be easier to handle. But if you insist.

Open dialoguelog.

BATDAD: BUG. BATDAD. BUG. BATDAD. BUGBUG. ALTANA: what ALTANA: is that whY _ You BATDAD: THERE WAS A BUG. BATDAD: IT WAS THERE. BATDAD: NOW IT IS NOT. BATDAD: YOUR HEAD IS SQUISHY. BATDAD: I CANNOT MOVE. ALTANA: yeah ALTANA: that is a thing BATDAD: THERE IS ANOTHER ONE. BATDAD: THERE IS ANOTHER BUG IN THE ROOM. BATDAD: IT IS THERE. BATDAD: BUG.

…

Sometimes you wish he didn’t have that translation collar…

==>

Still, those cameras were probably all working ones. Some of those keyboards might not have been broken too. They are now, but still. Wasted, Batdad. Wasted.

==>

Huh?

You hear a ping in the other room. If it’s who you think it is…

==>

==>

And it is!

> Altana: Answer message.

You say sorry to your dear, sweet lusus, and then refrain from freeing him completely. Like you said, he might be easier to handle that way. Why waste a good opportunity? You’re sure he can occupy his time trapped beneath an absurd amount of cameras and keyboards.

You go to answer the message. You think you know what this is about…

==>

==>

==>

Oh? Who’s this?

> Enter name.

[vagaboundfantrolls]

Update #9

(FIRST UPDATE HERE)  

Oh. Those… They are simply a thing of the past now. No need for you to bring them back up at all.

==>

In fact, let’s just put them in a place out of sight… Under the desk seems perfect! Just a good… kick, and away they go! Out of sight, out of mind.

> Altana: Examine cameras.

The cameras really examine you more than you do them. They are the silent watchers, content with observations, happy with being a passive player in the game of life. You like the cameras. They make good company. In reality, they do have many handy functions and mechanisms that make them what they are. You find them fascinating.

> Altana: Discuss camera functions.

Your particular favorite is the camcorder. Camcorders are often classified by their storage device. In analog camcorders the imaging device was based on vacuum-tube technology, in which the charge of a light-sensitive target was directly proportional to the amount of light striking it. Unlike analog formats, digital formats do not experience generation loss during dubbing; however, they are more prone to complete loss. You still prefer the digital over analog because of the higher definition factor. You have no need of recording, only watching. Video-capture capability is not confined to camcorders, though. Huskpods, digital single-lens reflex and compact digicams, husktops and personal media players offer video-capture capability, but most multipurpose devices offer less video-capture functionality than an equivalent camcorder. Most lack manual adjustments, audio input, autofocus and zoom. Another interesting fact, the term camera comes from the word camera obscura which meant “dark chamber” in the ancient Trollatin language. It was an-

==>

…early metho-ASDFGHJKL… … Well it seems a strange creature just careened into your porous cranial plates. You wonder who that could be… Truly, who on Alternia could have done that? It’s a mystery.

> Altana: Make sure strange creature is unharmed.

[vagaboundfantrolls]

Update #8

(FIRST UPDATE HERE)  

You are offended to be called a stalker. You are no stalker. You are just a curious onlooker. You have a very good reason to be observing this troll through numerous hidden cameras.

==>

Besides… that one needs to be watched…

Fine. > Curious Onlooker: Enter name.

Your name is ALTANA VOYANE.

You consider yourself a MILD-MANNERED troll of society, who in turn has very UNIFORM things you like to do. You pertain a fondness of being in HIGH PLACES. It makes it much easier to WATCH your SURROUNDINGS. This task, however, is not difficult to do in the first place because of your PSYCHIC ABILITIES. You occasionally attempt to startle yourself by WATCHING HORROR MOVIES, “attempt” being the word because it never works. You’ve seen things that would drive the sanest trolls MAD, but of course, you are not mad. You’re NOT REALLY anything. Except SANE.

Your friends are pretty okay. You like most of them and some of them ROLEPLAY with you. Although you prefer to participate in roleplay a little more… EXTREME.

Your trolltag is enigmaticalVigilant and you tend to lO_Ok directly into thE _ Eyes of those who are speaking

What will you do?

> Altana: Examine room.

Just the usual bells and whistles. Pile of keyboards in that corner. Stack of cameras by that wall. Large encompassing screens watching your every move. Normal things. A usual Alternian block, you think.

> Altana: Examine screens.

You turn your head to the only monitor currently on in your block. Oh. There’s that one again on the bigger screen. And you think you see a familiar sight in the lower right corner. The others however are a mystery, shrouded in enigmas and topped with a delicate riddle. These are not for you. They are only for me. Always for me. Moving on then.

> Altana: Examine FLARP manuals.

Which Vagabound Fantroll Should YOU Fight?

Vivaeh:

 Who would win? Vivaeh

She has a pickaxe. She has giant carnivorous plants. She has a uncontrollable psychics. She will impale your skull with her pickaxe then throw you to her plants. Do not fight Vivaeh.

Altana:

Who would win? You

He'd let you think you won of your own skill and then observe/laugh at you afterwords. But go ahead and fight him. It might be funny.

Tirket:

Who would win? Tirket, probably

He's a long-ranged fighter, and a good one at that. Couple that with his anger issues and you have... Death. Of course, he also might trip while charging you.

Monroi:

Who would win? YOU

Monroi is a tiny child who fights with a yoyo. A YOYO. You would win. Engage Monroi. FIGHT MONROI.

Dyolan:

Who would win? ???

Dyolan wouldn't even fight you in the first place. He'd be too worried about messing up his hair.

Barida:

Who would win? ??? 

She is physically strong, but also a socially awkward child. So what happens when you hit her? Will she shy away, or will she rip you to shreds? No one knows...

Dolano:

Who would win? ???

It all depends on Dolano's mood. If you look tasty, you'll lose. If not, he won't care.

Cresda:

Who would win? Probably you

But why would you want to hurt her, you monster??? She didn't do anything to you! You scumbag...

Turres:

Who would win? TURRES

DO NOT ENGAGE. DO NOT ENGAGE TURRES. IMMINENT DEATH. DON'T EVEN APPROACH TURRES.

Ericha:

Who would win? ???

She would make you a new dress, paint a mural of you, and read you poetry until you can't remember why you were there.

Arisan:

Who would win? You

He wouldn't want to hurt you, he's a little nerd who enjoys life and helping people.

Sharge:

Who would win? You?

The moment you hit Sharge, he would throw a tantrum and rant to Altana about it.

Haggen:

Who would win? Haggen

His moirail shows mercy. He will not. Wildcard. Do not engage Haggen.

Update #7

(FIRST UPDATE HERE)  

==>

Man, you hate talking to him…

> Cresda: Leave.

==>

==>

==>

Oh, this guy looks like trouble.

> Enter name and get out of here.

Your name is MONROI SALGRE.

With so many sweet INTERESTS such as yours, you barely have time for the normal people. You entertain yourself by browsing through online forums, WREAKING HAVOC. You also invest yourself in a variety of EXTREME ROLE-PLAYING GAMES. This has led you to become particularly skilled with COMPUTERS, a fact you are sure to BRAG about to most people within a close enough range to tolerate you. You know other trolls find you to be both unorthodox and annoying. You do not care. Screw them.

A good portion of your time is spent saving MONEY and stacking it into the large piles that rest on the surfaces of your block. There is not real reason for them, but you think they look nice, so they’re there.

Above all else though, you consider yourself a CONNOISSEUR of forbidden knowledge. SECRETS lie within your mind that others cannot even hope to fathom. Of course, they can easily gain access to these because you are quite the GOSSIP. It is one of your many guilty pleasures. Your trolltag is cantankerousInsinuator. You know everything about damn well everybody and it $hows in the way you $peak

Good. Yes. Now > Leave.

Oh? But how can you leave…

==>

…if you were never there at all?

> Mysterious stalker: Enter name.

Not at all! You're more than welcome to do whatever you wish!
