MMMQuest 199X - a CYOA "RPG"

[Snare]

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

: While I am fully equipped for friendship I have been programmed not to spend resources querying about it too much.

: ...And how does that make you feel?

(charisma in action ^)

: Had I been outfitted with the required capabilities of weeping, I would weep. ...User Mikero.

: Yes?

: You have 1 new friend request. :>

: :>

Check for recent activity

: I have a question: Has anyone else been by recently?

: The last log in was four days ago by "I'mNOTGOINGTOGIVEYOUMYCREDENTIA LSyouSTUPIDCOMMODORE64looking WHOrE111". They went through the door I unlocked.


Wuh oh

[TheRedPriest]

Cautiously go through door.

[Snare]

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...



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!

[NovaMan XP]

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.

[Snare]

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

[NovaMan XP]

It could work as a corrupted version of the tower.

Or new area because why not!

[TheRedPriest]

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

[Johncarllos]

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.

[Snare]

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

[NovaMan XP]

Eat a mushroom and hope to become Super Mikero.

[Johncarllos]

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

[TheRedPriest]

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

[Snare]

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.

[TheRedPriest]

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

[Snare]

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.

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

The scent is suddenly putrescent





Is... Is that a corpse?



Oh... Oh yuck...



As a ninja you do deal with death fairly often. But decay is not your domain. You hope that wasn't someone you knew. You are interrupted by a voice calling out in your direction

[TheRedPriest]

adopt a defensive posture in response to voice

[Johncarllos]

Inspect the body. It makes a great album cover.

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.

:'-)

[NovaMan XP]

EAT THE CORP-

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

[Mikero]

:>

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.

[TheRedPriest]

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.

[Snare]

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:

[TheRedPriest]

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.

[Mikero]

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.

[TheRedPriest]

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?

[Snare]

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.

[TheRedPriest]

There's really no way to lose.

[Snare]

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.



The nasally voice begins to pick up again "Now tell me are you like the res- hold the phone we know who that is! You cut off the speaker before he can utter another phoneme. You assume hug stance



 A perfect 20


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

[NovaMan XP]

Ask Rez to become your friend because hugs.

[TheRedPriest]

*bludgeon Mikero with Tomatoe Stick*

No touching.  Evil is afoot.

[Mikero]

"Nice try."

And do the "nice try" dodge, obviously.

[Winged Warrior]

*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.

[Mikero]

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.

[TheRedPriest]

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.

[Snare]

Okay life is back in order.

Time to pick up where this left off soon.
