A U D I O ][ SNOW'S A BITCH. HATING ON EVERYONE.

[pyromatique]

[ Gentle snowfall or not, John decides that he's not getting out of his apartment today. So instead, he'll make large complaints via the network:Are you fuckin' kiddin' me? Snow? Seriously? It's snowing right now? Today? I had plans for the day. Big plans. Plans involving getting shit done that can't be done any other day because it had to be today

I'm going to take a wild stab here and suggest that you are not enjoying this particular whim of the City. Is there any particular reason why the current weather conditions are not to your liking?

[audio]

[pyromatique]

Aside from hating the friggin' cold?

[audio]

[derse_princess]

That simple? Do I take it you are not from somewhere usually troubled by such weather?

[audio]

[pyromatique]

Or maybe I just don't feel like sharing the details right this minute.

I'm from New York. I usually get the fuck away from the shitty weather whenever I know it's coming. But being stuck here? I don't get a choice. It sucks.

[audio]

[derse_princess]

Well far be it for me to pry.

Ah, a fellow resident of what was my city before it got destroyed by meteors. It sounds like you took the more sensible approach to dealing with our winters.

[audio]

[pyromatique]

Hold on. Destroyed by meteors? What?

[audio]

[derse_princess]

Ah yes, I forget we are from different worlds here. Yes, my version of New York was destroyed. As was the entire planet.

[audio]

[pyromatique]

By what? And how did you manage to survive?

[audio]

[derse_princess]

I believe I already mentioned the meteors. As to how I survived, the short answer is that I escaped into a video game.

[audio]

[pyromatique]

Right. [ He'd gotten distracted by the freaking snow outside/mun couldn't load LJ properly in order to read the thread and forgot ;;. ]

How about instead of giving me the short answer, you give me the serious answer now. Cause video game? [ Snorts. ] That's just real fucking ridiculous.

[audio]

[derse_princess]

[Curse you LJ!]

Ridiculous or not, my answer was entirely truthful. We were sent the beta of a video game which initially we considered to be nothing more than a means to manipulate each other's environments. Instead, it turns out that installing the game leads to the destruction of one's home world whilst simultaneously providing the only means of escape by transporting players who successfully complete the requisite actions into the game world.

If you still don't believe me, said friends I was playing with are here in the City as are many of the trolls with whom our session became intertwined.

[pyromatique]

What did you have to do? I mean. In the game. Like, kill a bunch of friggin' monsters?

[audio]

[derse_princess]

Essentially, yes. Well that, build up our client player's environments to allow them to pass through their gates while our server player did the same for us, all under the guidance of beings known as Exiles...we each were granted specific roles, too. For example, mine was to foresee the potential consequences of our actions. Although I also had a few side-missions which I think perhaps I won't go into just yet.

[audio]

[pyromatique]

What was this... environment like?

[audio]

[derse_princess]

Initially, our homes. And yes, I do refer to our actual homes within what was our real world before it was destroyed. That was how we assisted each other to enter the game world and progress.

What do you think of the City?
