Dear John,
You are no doubt reading this as a handsome and strapping young man! Why, the mangrit needed to lift the book is itself a sign of your maturity, not even to speak of the wisdom needed to grasp the nuance of Sassacre's time-tested mischief. I am so proud of you, grandson!
How I wish I could have delivered this heirloom to you in the flesh. But I am afraid it wasn't in the cards! For you see, John, like you, this book must yet take a journey! Its journey will end on the Final Day of my life, and even then will continue some. Though I suppose that will be up to your Father. Perhaps he will discuss it with you one day, when he and you are ready.
But it is your journey I am writing about to wish you luck! There will come a day when you will be thrust into another world. And once you arrive, that is only the beginning! You will soon delve even deeper into a realm of Warring Royalty in a Timeless Expanse. A realm of Agents and Exiles and Consorts and Kernelsprites. Of toiling Underlings and slumbering Denizens. A realm where four will gather, the Heir of Breath and Seer of Light, the Knight of Time and Witch of Space, and together they will Ascend.
John, if only you knew how important you were! I regret my passing came so early in your life. And yet I feel in my heart we have already met. But what I know for sure is that we will meet again!
Until then, John, I do hope your Father keeps you well fed!
Act 3: Insane Corkscrew Haymakers
Part 1: Player Four
A silly girl has yet to begin her adventure.
For now, she is sound asleep.
Attempts to wake her up via pumpkin fail as the pumpkin is disappearified mysteriously.

Fetch Modus: ???
Looks like you don't even have a fetch modus set!
Better pick one.
You have a lot of these, and all of them are ridiculous.
You have colorful reminders all over your fingers! These help you keep track of what you're up to.
Important remembers:
-It is John's birthday!
-Your package for John will be arriving today!
-You have some things to do outside today!
This Memory Modus would be actively hostile if you weren't so good at guessing the right cards.
Enough wasting time in your garden! It's time to waste time in your room instead.
Eventually you will have to go outside to find your pet and best friend, Becquerel. This will almost inevitably result in an encounter with your grandfather, who is probably in the grand foyer, stewing in his own charisma.
First things first: Never be caught without your rifle! Especially if grandpa's going to be around.
Another beautiful day in the neighborhood.
You're the only house on this island. The nearby volcano provides all the power you could ever need.
Since you'll be running into Becquerel later, it would be best to lightly irradiate a steak for him!
Sitting in a cozy pile of Manthro Chaps and Squiddles, it's time to compute!
Your computer is unbelievably awesome.
[S] Dave: STRIFE!
You are getting schooled by Lil' Cal.
TT: I require a font of frighteningly accurate yet infuriatingly nonspecific information.
TT: Do you know where I can find a wellspring of this sort?
GG: hahaha yes ok but we cant talk for long!!!
TT: You have plans?
GG: well yes i do but its just that you will lose your internet connection soon!!!!!
GG: and we wont talk again for a pretty long time
TT: This is what I was talking about.
TT: This was the itch that needed scratching.
TT: My avarice for the inscrutable. It is limitless.
GG: lol what did you want to know?
TT: You've been insisting today was the big day.
TT: We would all play a game you didn't know the name of.
TT: But Strider is being obtuse, I can't catch John at his computer, you don't even have the game yourself, and on top of all that, my internet is unstable.
TT: So are you sure today is the day?
GG: there sure are a lot of challenges but yes i am sure!!
GG: youll need to keep searching for a stable signal and power source, it will be hard but dont give up!!!
GG: and dont worry about me either, focus on playing with john first
GG: it all starts with you two!
TT: Is there nothing else you can say to prepare me for this?
GG: i dont really know what to tell you other than its not going to be what you think it is
GG: just be patient and be brave youll see
GG: it will be fun!!!!!!
GG: uh oh looks like youve got to go
GG: take care rose! <3<3<3

Several hours in the future. Rose.
Your secondary power source is down. It's time to descend below the mauloseum.
[S] John: STRIFE!
Years in the future, but not many...
Under bare white branches a sentry wakens.
You are on your way to the Grand Foyer.
Your grandpa's collections are pretty weird.
Someone's pestering you? But you already logged off...
...oh no.
Anyone but him.
-- carcinoGeneticist [CG] began trolling gardenGnostic [GG] at 13:04 --
CG: HI AGAIN, IDIOT.
GG: oh nooooooo
CG: SO I GUESS TODAY IS FINALLY THE DAY YOU FUCK EVERYTHING UP.
CG: IS THERE NOTHING I CAN DO TO CHANGE YOUR MIND?
GG: you can leave me alone!!!!!
GG: how can you even be talking to me after i blocked you....
GG: AND after i logged out????
CG: YOU DON'T GET THAT I AM BETTER AND SMARTER THAN YOU IN EVERY WAY, FOREVER.
CG: YOU DON'T GET THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE INCREDIBLY STUPID.
GG: i get that youre a jerk and you should shut up!
GG: goodbye you jerk!!!!!!!!!

You are now in the laboratory.
There are a huge number of hubs in this hubgrid. One of them was recently unlocked.
This should be able to provide the power you need.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT BULLSHIT.
Upon landing on that platform, Jaspers is vaporized.
This should make trees more usable. Now instead of only being able to access the top node, you can only access the bottom nodes. Those won't even cause the entire tree to collapse!
Power source established!
A sign in the distance catches your eye.
A timer is counting out its final minutes.
It looks like it's been counting for years...
Years in the future, but not many...
Another timer winds down, sideways.
NEXT CHAPTER: More strife!
