The MBoard

That's right. I'm just that bored with my life these days and I just can't stop thinking of you guys. Surely something like this would have done much better during the Mboard's golden age but maybe, just maybe if people just drop in now and then we can get this thing going. Maybe have a few laughs while we're at it, find some treasure, rescue upwards of one princess and perhaps more.

I have a loose idea when it comes to plot. Really freaking loose but as long as I have bits and pieces thought up, the rest should just flow. Plus all y'all will be pitching in suggestions on where to go or what to touch with your gross unwashed hands. I may be the DM so to speak but I don't wanna be a railroader you know? No one's hopping on THAT train while Snarey is on DM duty (BM doody). Yes I'm planning on having combat and I have the dice situation covered. There's going to be stats and junk maybe. Probably maps maybe and inventories perhaps.

I still don't have a computer so I'm drawing things with whatever I have on hand. Crayons, chalk, paint, scrap paper, good paper, expensive rare imported thousand times folded japanese paper, q-tips, feathers, rocks, walls whatever I find. Bugs.

OH.

We should get started.

GASP! ALREADY MYSTERY.

Although before we can get SUPER started we should probably pick a guy.

[spoiler= Our lovely cast OOC DUH](https://i.imgur.com/loFpATB.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/gImxCCM.jpg):"Pick me because I'm a NINJA which means I can sneak around easily and breathe water like all NINJAs"

Mikero the Ninja is a good choice. His higher SKILL in areas like speed and dexterity helps him dodge attacks and spank back with critical hits. He can also learn a variety of water and frost skills and has access to some shadowy artes. Mikero also has a higher charisma stat.

(https://i.imgur.com/8RfuM67.jpg):"Pick me because I'm a MAGE and not actually a priest like my name says. Although I still dress in priestly regalia. You are not allowed to question me and all dissenters will be sent to the tent for a mauling"

Oh Rez! Rez is a magic user, naturally. He has more of a focus on destructive spells, so uh, don't expect too much of that whole white magic stuff. He also has a summon ability in Nibbles. His higher SENSE, like his magic and knowledge stats will certainly come in handy but keep in mind those lower BODY stats.

(https://i.imgur.com/HBri98z.jpg):"Pick me cause I'm a LUMBERJACK. My superior strength and vitality stats will let me hack through my problems easily. Also I'm a biologist too."

Or will we pick John? Less skill and magic oriented and more of a raw damage kind of guy. Although he has lower SENSE stats in his magic and charisma, his knowledge is quite high, earning him those delicious knowledge check rolls with ease. His bio knowledge might earn him additional damage points against BEAST and PLANT creatures.
[/spoiler]

Alright, so pick a guy and let's get this show on the road.

I say we pick Mikero, skill stats are more fun than 'blow up door' or 'cut down door'.

Also ninja.

Also I look amazing.

My HP is low because I'm old...  Pick me because I'm easy mode!

Did a coin flip instead of waiting for results. That's how we do things these days.

Mikero finds himself in what appears to be Mega Man Matrix's central hub room but instead of the pleasant whirring of computers and tippity-tapping of operators clacking away at the various keyboards and dials he is met with a dead silence broken only by the sounds of his own joints cracking as he gathers himself and stands up.

This place has seen better days, that's for sure.

(https://i.imgur.com/KmOHMJn.jpg)"This place has seen better days."

(https://i.imgur.com/KmOHMJn.jpg)"Just confirming aloud that I do not know how or why I'm here. Cool?

---

(https://i.imgur.com/M7yHNNL.jpg)The main monitor in the room is quite obviously non-functioning. There's a faint clicking noise from the general area every once in awhile.

---

(https://i.imgur.com/M7yHNNL.jpg)The two large computers flanking the room are similarly unresponsive. Not that you'd be able to do much with them. While you've been a high ranking and highly respected member of the Matrix for ages, there has never been a need to become involved with the 'pooters.

---

(https://i.imgur.com/M7yHNNL.jpg)The console is still powered as the small dated monitor on it appears to be on screensaver mode. Was this always there??

---

(https://i.imgur.com/M7yHNNL.jpg)Both metal shutter doors to the east and west are locked. The western door has a strange blue mush seeping from the base. The mush glows and has been providing at least 90% of the luminosity experienced.

---

(https://i.imgur.com/M7yHNNL.jpg)Thecoffee in the corner is NOT fresh. It appears some ass replaced all the cream in those little cream packets with tiny cylinders of cheese.

Was THIS always here??

WHAT WILL MIKE DO FOLKS? Look for things to pocket? Eat the mush and the little cheeses?

Edit- remember to actually color in Mikes face cause holy hell talk about white washing.

take coffee pot

I suspect it will come in handy in the final boss fight.

Eat the mush in a hopeless attempt to gain its power.

Investigate the clicky

I can't believe you've done this.


I love it. Everything about this is fantastic. Are you using cut outs of characters and like "sets"? Like the greatest puppet show ever? This is fantastical.

I say we pick Mikero, skill stats are more fun than 'blow up door' or 'cut down door'.

Also ninja.

Also I look amazing.

You just picked hard mode because I am a man of colour (except in this first chapter evidently).

Plus I'm staff (and have a staff), so really, what challenge would there have been?  There are all of like, 4 rooms I can't get into.

<reboot>

I haven't forgotten at all! I have mostly everything ready for the update but formatting is cumbersome with a tablet and I wanted to get some battle assets done.

<REBOOT>

Keep your manteau on Rez! It'sa comin'!

Mikero remembered an essential survival technique that was passed on to him from his days as a Junior Ninja Scout (like the boy scouts but better because girls are and were always allowed in):


and lo;

The Coffee Pot.

Suddenly Mike is fixed on the coffee pot in the corner of the room. It... It must be important. Maybe you were here on a coffee run and bumped your head and passed out... and wrecked everything... somehow?

(https://i.imgur.com/4SVsauw.jpg)

The coffee is rancorous. There is obvious mold. You still pocket two cups of the stuff.

(https://i.imgur.com/uHqdQ6W.jpg)

You got Weak Brew x2! Adds +1 to your initiative rolls for the remainder of the battle upon use!

(https://i.imgur.com/KmOHMJn.jpg): "Is... this some sort of kombucha coffee type thing?"
(https://i.imgur.com/KmOHMJn.jpg):"I blame Opal for this."

The Blue Mush. Power.

(https://i.imgur.com/AELPbk5.jpg)

Another memory came flowing back to Mike. This time of his nana.

(https://i.imgur.com/EexB5ar.jpg)

"Drinking straaaaange mush you find lying around is good for you and can give you powers!"

(https://i.imgur.com/sWJ2BnW.jpg)

Mike loves his gramgrams <3 <3

Mike would normally earn 2 Happy Fuzzy points at this moment but we don't commodify or quantify joy 'round these parts. Nope, that's something you get to keep in your heart to help you press on through life.

Okay so we'll do battle in a bit, I guess! We'll go over how that goes in a bit. And by that I mean I'll make stuff up as I go because why not?

But look, I mean it about the dice!

(https://i.imgur.com/g0je3d6.png)

As a ninja he should roll natural 20s every time... 

Tut tut

He will not have access to ninja dice and he will have appropriate modifiers just as you would and just like the rest of us. So go ahead and bop me with your stick. I'm applying -19 to all of your physical throws.

Neener neener

I wanted to bring back old times by making a picture of myself, uninvited, participating.

but I can't be arsed.  So this post will just have to suffice.




Anyway, Snare, you can't fool me.  That's not a bug, it's a feature.  It is clear that Mike and the feature must team up to solve the mystery of the haunted MMM.  Perhaps the feature has some useful information about what happened.  PERHAPS Mike must overcome his fear of features and learn to love the feature, to grow with the feature, and accept this feature presentation.

So, roll the dice.

So with the negative penalty your sum is 9980

  >:(>:(! Stop god moding the game!!

I miss you Granero!

I have no idea what's happening at this point.  How are we doing combat?  Do we even need to give a command?

Ninja kick the damn insect! Do somethin'! (https://youtu.be/KcgVUmt-Ews?t=1)

Oh. Well. I have to make stuff for the combat systen first. This is a slow paced adventure. Like every three or four days. How it's going to go down is there will be options like Basic Attack (there will be different weapons with different properties), Skills (spells, techs, etc. Mike starts with a water based tech but after leveling up, can either power up that current spell or learn more and branch out), you can use items/defend/flee.

I just don't have the assets fully formed, I'm keeping numbers on the easier to deal with side of things (like Paper Mario?). Right now I'm drawing ugly fruit instead of this. I made a pear if you'd like to see it. Mike will kick the insect soon OR maybe become host to a brood of insectlings.

This pear needs an orthodontist.

Oh geez the four front teeth are based off mine really. I've gone through braces twice but I clench my jaw like crazy (i'm proud to announce i broke my upper metal retainer) and my bite reverted a bit. I never want cosmetic orthodontic work ever ever again. Don't let my gorgeous exterior deceive; I have pug genes.

Oh so this is relevant here's what Snare looks like these days since he's a poppy now.

I second ninja kicking the damn insect.

Son, that's something out of Resident Evil there.

grab your partner and dosey doe.

So yes I'm working on this and have drawings done etc. I'm just getting hung up on details like where to put icons and other formatting type dealies.

Soooooorrry

It's all good. This is fun and I don't mind waiting.

No worries on the wait as long as it's coming.

Alright if I don't stop sweating the small details I'll never get anything done and if I don't get anything done then I'll get super guilty like. Just consider combat in beta mode. Maybe I should make updates smaller? Idunnoidunnoidunno

(https://i.imgur.com/dU9zSny.jpg)

Upon entering combat with the nasty bug, Mike instinctively reached for his d20 and rolled a 13 on his initiative roll. Mike being a ninja has the perk of gaining +2 on his initiation rolls at the start of each battle earning him a total of 15.

The bug guy's, like all monsters, is fixed. Bug guy's initiative is 6.

Just kidding. But he did get halfway there to leveling up at least.

(https://i.imgur.com/M7yHNNL.jpg) Does bug goo even have any uses?

there i did it

Investigate the computer.

Why the hell would Mike do that? you're just trying so hard to be random. Reported.

The correct answer was to eat all the shards of glass and then.... fart?

*poot*

I... I didn't want to seem like I was derailing the plot! *runs away sobbing*

...shove bug goo into coffee pot.

I always thought that was a grasshopper's pee.

I like the idea of combat, but I feel it will interfere with the flow, unless it's fairly uncommon.  Maybe getting things moving now will help give a better feel for how the story will go.

I think that's a very good idea. Might make combat a special occasional thing. That would simplify things tenfold and I can stop fretting about trying to track stats if there's less emphasis on combat. Leveling up can probably just happen at certain milestones.

Decided. Someone get me a gavel so I can clack it against the sound block so as to officialize this jank.

And yeah grasshoppers use defensive regurgitation - absolutely useless on mammalian predators but they try so hard anyway.

And yeah grasshoppers use defensive regurgitation - absolutely useless on mammalian predators but they try so hard anyway.

So in 3rd grade the other kids were wrong about insectoid biology? Goddamn this silly earth.


Anyway uhhh...

Now that the bug has been thoroughly romped, shall we log in to the computer and find out what's been going on?

Good luck logging on WITHOUT STAFF CODES.

~susr spinthatwheel, if I recall correctly.

Abe, if you ever reboot MChat remember to change it.

Now that I know it, the Mikero in the game knows it.

I just hope that if you die in the game you don't die for real.

Mikero the Ninja is a good choice. His higher SKILL in areas like speed and dexterity helps him dodge attacks and spank back with critical hits. He can also learn a variety of water and frost skills and has access to some shadowy artes. Mikero also has a higher charisma stat.

Mikero should CHARM his way into the computer.

check the computer

You never really had to worry about these computer dealies much in the past but you figure you may as well check it out since it's clearly still turned on when everything else is clearly off.

suddenly!

(https://i.imgur.com/xM7dvEO.jpg)

a crude facsimile of a face appears on the front face of this computermajig. For some reason the monitor and keyboard are that old electronics beige that you could never tell if they were always that way or if everyone who has ever touched them smoked through a pack of cigarettes a day. And seriously a track ball?

Your wonderment is broken but immediately succeeded with yet further wonderment as a tiny tinny voice squeaks out from a speaker somewhere "hello guest46391 please log in"

whats our boy to do??

Chat up the computer? (Ask... It things? Like what?)
Log in?
Get mad?
Other?!

Get mad.

"guest46391 please log in order to register complaints. Violence is not the answer here"

I suppose it would make sense to log in but you wonder if this is perhaps a trap. After all, you never remembered much in the way of talking computers in the past. Logging in used to be a rather silent task.

Should we head out?
Ask questions?

Ooooh I don't know!!

Ask the computer to become our friend.

Check the date of last activity / recent posts. Look for flapping Battons.

As per the introductory post we know that Rez and myself are involved in this adventure somewhere. Perhaps check our usernames in the database by flirting with the computer.

Also, Snare, this is super wonderful <3

Befriend the computer

Programmers are always adding little easter eggs in their work (Example: "Okay Google, load up Celeryman). Maybe this computer will say or do something special if you ask to befriend it. You take the plunge and ask

(https://i.imgur.com/y9hlwGs.jpg): While I am fully equipped for friendship I have been programmed not to spend resources querying about it too much.

Wuh oh

Cautiously go through door.

You find out getting a full list of names is forbidden even to friends, you tell the computer not to worry about it and cease that line of interrogation. After a short chat you part ways with your new computery friend for now and enter the shutter door on the west side.

If memory serves you correctly this way should eventually lead to one of the main computers...

(https://i.imgur.com/m3OyNHS.png)

Oh... Well... Hmm.

---

I'm going to need more backgrounds from mchat real soon. Or we can all link hands and try to join our memories together as one in an attempt remember the layout and look of every mchat room with acuity in what I call the Mass Memory Merge Dance. We basically all become atoms. Lots of atomic exchange happens. It's great.

Oh! Right! The game. It's open from here, I guess!

I used to have a download of all the backgrounds from MChat but I think it died with my last PC.

I could try seeing if I have screenshots stored somewhere...

---

I FOUND IT.

I don't even remember where I got this from, honestly.

Awesome! Seriously, thank you! So i guess i drew a room that doesn't exist oh well roll with it

It could work as a corrupted version of the tower.

Or new area because why not!

Search through as many rooms as you can for signs of other Matrixians.

Tower or tree is totally plausible. Especially with all the shrooms.

SHROOMS.

Look for Jakey. Even though he hasn't logged on in over 2 1/2 years. His spores seem to be festering.

It can't be THAT tower because we went westward. I thought the first image was what the room before to the chess/computer room but turns out it's the second? I have some backgrounds from Rez as well. He has screens of Club Mega which yours seems to lack, Nova. What if there's more?!

AnywaysssssSO for all intents and purposes we'll just pretend there was always a longer trek to the computer room.

Edit: two replies while I was typing this wow

Eat a mushroom and hope to become Super Mikero.

One or two of those may have been from Ask Doctor Wily^TM, besides, chat was never ALL of the Matrix anyway.

I see the area designated as The Chat being a sort of central hub for the Matrix (not to be confused with The Matrix^tm). The Matrix is a fairly large territory but has suffered from occasional quarrels among the various ruling class which lead to a few areas declaring independence at various points throughout history. The area dubbed as The Chat (or more popularly The MChat) was created as a political safe-zone where people could pass through, exchange pleasantries or whatever without fear of persecution; so long as one didn't make any religious or political discussion made made heard aloud. For Abominator  (gloria in excelsis Abo) knew that this could only lead to further turmoil.

We can attribute various schisms being formed amongst the populus due to the disagreements regarding Mega Man, whether it was facts concerning The Robot himself (eg: was his armor cerulean or was it cornflower?) or His teachings (some sects believed they should always be fighting [shooting things recklessly] under the guise of bringing about everlasting peace. Some others professed a more pacifistic viewpoint and only threw lemons at their offenders to symbolize the shots fired from His Mega Buster). Wars would flare up and fade, blood was shed, lemons were thrown. The Mchat was a necessity.

So why has it become derelict, eh?  ???

I could probably reasonably get more stuff posted soon but i made mikero white again, like completely. Looks weird.

Hollywood white washes enough Snare, you didn't need to join in to look cool.  Because that ISN'T a cool thing to do.

Well Rez there's a reason they whitewash in hollywood and that's because MOST people can't SEE race so ergo they can only cast white people otherwise a big portion of the audience only sees the actor's clothing floating around and talking and stuff. Leads to issues.

It sure smells musty in here. Giant glowing blue mushrooms burst from the ventilation/cooling/integral support column. It's pretty in a weird way. Not worth the choking scent of mildew, however.

(https://i.imgur.com/yoIW1HZ.jpg)

eat the mushroom

just inspect the mushrooms. For now.

There appears to be a patch pf mushrooms growing away from the tower close by. You creep on over to take a gander and

adopt a defensive posture in response to voice

Inspect the body. It makes a great album cover.

Er, I mean, react by yelling a random phrase at the voice.

Eat a mushroom and hope it's not your friend.

Aren't you paying attention, I only currently have 1 friend. I hope I didn't assassinate all my friends but a lot of the time I really feel like it, tbh (no one here).

Also I'm half white and half black so like... If you need skip the colouring, Snare, sometimes it's OK. You can do a stylish Sin City thing if you like. Just don't do it all the time.


Alright then, so that tower looks easily scale-able for someone of my skills, but currently I agree with Rez: Adopt a closed long stance, probably a cadeira/paralelo but keep it just high enough to be ready to riposte if necessary. Just not a full horse stance, that would be silly.

.

I agree with Rez: Adopt a closed long stance, probably a cadeira/paralelo but keep it just high enough to be ready to riposte if necessary.

A most wise decision.

Well. I hit a drawing snag. Mike, what do you do when you hit a drawing snag?

Also I have to really get my current life situation into some semblance of working order. D:

Sorry to hear that Snare.  Hope things get better for you.  Don't worry about this little adventure.  People can go back and reread Ask Doctor Wily while they wait.

Well. I hit a drawing snag. Mike, what do you do when you hit a drawing snag?

Try a completely different style/media.

You have to go after your demons instead of letting them come for you.¹



1.
I learned this on a pilgrimage when I was but a boy, in search of a legendary Lethwei master. I was attacked by a demon born of my own guilt, due to my parent's divorce. I defeated him with a swift crochet move. I then realized that every year I must find and destroy at least one personal demon if I am to be the strongest version of myself.

You have to go after your demons instead of letting them come for you.

What if your demon is a tig o'l biddied Succubus?

She'll just laugh at your dinker cause she's a mean demon.

Unless you're into that, in which case she'll endlessly praise it. She's messed up.

There's really no way to lose.

The voice that called out to you was nasally and not at all sexy. You turn around and you can barely see the speaker standing nearby.

Well, we now abruptly have Rez joining us. Just because that last post made me laugh and think "this is why"

Ask Rez to become your friend because hugs.

*bludgeon Mikero with Tomatoe Stick*

No touching.  Evil is afoot.

"Nice try."

And do the "nice try" dodge, obviously.

*bludgeon Mikero with Tomatoe Stick*

It...

It just occurred to me that the tomato stick is Rezzo's cane (so named because of the big red 'tomato' at it's end) over what I have envisioned for the last 30 years: A gardening stake. 

I'm now quite disappointed as this means a huge deal of the Rez lore I've had has been disproven by this revaluation.  No more is the mauling tent just a cute term for Rez's greenhouse.  No more is the idea that Rez stays self-sufficient and organic with his homegrown vegitables. 

I mean, I bet you're going to tell me that Nibbles is fed little rabbit pellets bought from the local TrueValue to supplement when you're running low on flesh victims, instead of the previously assumed lettuce that Rez lovingly raised in the mauling tent.

You've changed Rez, and it's all my fault.

Enjoy your extended vacation in the Super Mauling Tent.

Or maybe this is enough to bump you up to the horrors of Mauling Tent 64.

Don't worry WW.  You won't be going to the Mauling Tent.  Because I've moved it into your guts.  Nibbles is already there.  You might feel a slight horrible agony.  Don't worry it will pass.  And so will you.

Okay life is back in order.

Time to pick up where this left off soon.  8)
