Morrie: Be The Heart

by coronersAssistant Wed Dec 07, 2011 12:29 am

You are MORRIE HAPSNAP, and you have no idea what "the heart" is, or how you can be it. This would worry you if you were worried by things, but luckily you are not easily worried by things. You are standing in your very LADY-LIKE ROOM, as you're DAD likes to call it. The walls are covered in old peeling wallpaper and some posters of strange cartoon ponies your older brother gave you. He says the ponies' names are APPLEJACK and TWILIGHTSPARKLE, and you think they're cute, but you have no idea what they're from. You are aware your brother has STRANGE INTERESTS and they're probably related to that. You have a twin bed with an ancient wooden frame, along with a matching side table and dresser. Your bed sheets are of a FLORAL PATTERN and your cherry wood floor is covered in VARIOUS TOMES OF KNOWLEDGE. You enjoy reading about CORONERS and other people with occupations in CRIMINAL JUSTICE. You're father insists on reading all the books in your possession before yourself, so he can check if they're age appropriate. You lose a great many books this way.

You have to go out to the BARN and feed GIDDYTROT her DELICIOUS OATS, but it's been a while since you spoke to your ONLINE BUDDIES. You stop by you're older brother's room, careful to avoid being seen by your DAD, who is probably sorting out FARM THINGS in the living room. You have no idea where your brother is, but he let's you use his computer whenever he's not on it. The computer runs on WINDOWS 98, your friends tell you that's awful, but you think it's fine. You wait the 5 minutes it takes to boot up, then admire your brothers desktop which is covered in miles of FILES AND DOOHICKIES. Once you log onto your pesterchum, coronersApprentice, you see the familiar flashing of the message notifier. Aparently you're also supposed to hear a beep, but there are no speakers hooked up, this sometimes effects the enjoyment of videos and online games. When on the computer for long periods of time, you feel as though you are both MUTE and DEAF. aspiredClockworks is pestering you.

You really hope you weren't bothering her, she was the one that messaged you, so probably not. You open the file she sent you, a bunch of PRICES AND VALUES appear on your screen. You have no idea what anything means. You click the NEXT button until a loading bar appears. You assume this is relative to installation. When the bar only moves to 0.1% after a minute of watching, you figure it couldn't hurt to leave the computer on while you TRAVERSED THE WILDS.

It seems your DAD is no longer in the kitchen, he won't be pleased that you're not INFORMING him on your departure, but GIDDYTROT comes first. You head out the back door just in case.

You don't know if GIDDYTROT is in the barn or the field. Her oats are in the barn, so you head there first. You are not surprised when the barn is empty, you fill a BUCKET with her delicious OATS, and captchalogue it.

You use an ASL MODUS, you spell out the object in SIGN LANGUAGE, each letter is worth how many fingers you raise to sign it, you add all the letters up to get a number, and it is placed in the card with the same number. Since you only have FOUR CARDS in your SYLLADEX, if the object is worth more then that, it divides itself by two until it is four or under.

You captchalogue BUCKET OF OATS, 4(B)+2(U)+1(C)+3(K)+0(E)+0(T)+0(S) 0(O)+3(F) 0(O)+1(A)+1(T)+0(S) = 15. Your sylladex divides the number by 2, until it gets 3.75, it rounds up to 4. YOU SUCCESSFULLY CAPTCHALOGUE BUCKET OF OATS. This event will obviously be sent to your DADS DAUGHTER NOTIFIER, which he connected to your ASL MODUS to alert him whenever you captchalogued something, and what that was. It also sends a GPS signal, so you hope he doesn't have it on him. You also grab your TRUSTY PITCHFORK, and place it in your STRIFE DECK, you always have to be ready to fend off any WILD WOLFS when you're out in the field. Of course you have never seen a wolf before, but you like to pretend it's a legitimate threat.

You find and greet your horse, who neighs and nibbles your sweater. You present your gift of DELICIOUS OATS and she gobbles them up readily. So cute.

You give GIDDYTROT a nice rub down, and mount her bareback. Any time is a good time for a ride. You figure you could ride her to the house, maybe your DAD still isn't back yet. GIDDYTROT snorts in what you assume is affection, you wish she could use sign language, then maybe communication would improve. You make your way back at a TROT, your favourite horse speed. You love the feel of the WIND through your GOLDEN LOCKS, and how the BREEZE blows your dress about. You are careful to not let the dress blow TOO much about, holding it down with one hand, and gripping GIDDYTROT'S silky mane with the other. You have the sudden urge to pull out your TRUSTY PITCHFORK and pose heroically on your SPEEDY MARE. You have no reason not to, so you do. If you were a bystander and you saw yourself doing this you would think you looked quite DASHING. You like to imagine you were an old western cowboy, who was very handsome, and of course SILENT. All the DAMSELS IN DISTRESS would be calling your name "Mooorriiieeee, Morrriieeee!!!" and then they would through their bras-woah where are you even going with this?

You are now feeling a tad AWKWARD around yourself, you pick up speed to a gallop, which would be difficult to do bareback for anyone who wasn't as AMAZING as you. You make it to the house and jump off GIDDYTROT. You thank your GUSTY STEAD with a pat on the noise and the promise of CARROTS when you have the chance. She snorts in what you assume is mutual respect and agreement. You quietly re-enter your homely manor, again from the backdoor. Your DAD is nowhere to be seen, you wouldn't be surprised if he was rushing to the location stated on his DAUGHTER NOTIFIER.

You go to your brother's room, and sit at the computer. To your pleasant surprise, the loading bar is nearly full! You have no idea how this could possibly happen, stuff like this tends to FLY right over your head. Your brother often tells you to get your HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUDS when he tries to talk to you about internet things. You check your pesterchum. It's been a bit difficult to navigate since your brother changed the look of it to FRESHjamz, he said you should "get in with the times.," though of course you have no idea what this means. You don't even want to know what any of this means, it seems too COMPLICATED. If this makes you an AIRHEAD, then you're completely fine with it.

You see silentConductor is online, you're relieved, Adel is always a voice of reason. Even if he does need to RELAX every once and a while, he seems kinda STRESSED or something, and it WORRIES YOU.

You are quite STARTLED when the floor beneath you begins to shake. Clutching at your brothers desk for balance, you grimace at the sound of FALLING ITEMS. You stare at you walls, wide eyed as they seem to PEEL OFF. Your heart skips a beat, and you really, really want to scream. In the corner of your eye you see the flashing light of your persterchum. You try to keep calm as you answer the reassuring blue text.

Spoiler:

You jump up from your seat and dash towards the hall.

by coronersAssistant Sun Dec 11, 2011 1:43 am

From what you see as you run out of your house, or what was your house, the walls have been transformed into some sort of thick paper, and everything looks unfamiliar. For once you wish your DAD was here, you wish you could call for him. You bite back tears as you sprint towards the barn. You note in your daze, the disappearance of your beloved cornfield, and the clucking of a hoard of agitated hens. There won't be many eggs for a while, that's for sure. You throw open the double doors of the BARN, you hear an irritated moo, but you couldn't be more happy when you see a startled GIDDYTROT by the water trough. You slam into her and cling onto her neck, she nearly rears up at the sudden hug. You are now much less frightened then you were previously, your COMFORT LEVELS increase to PLEASANT when GIDDYTROT follows you out of the transfigured barn. You now see, that not only have the two buildings been completely flipped TURNWAYS, the dirt road that previously lead to; a larger dirt road, then eventually to Aron's Uncle's house, lead to a OMINOUSLY DARK FOREST, that completely surrounded the property.

You CAUTIOUSLY begin to make your way back to the house. Along with the structure of the house, everything side has been replaced. What was once a messy, old fashion, family home seemed cold an unfamiliar. The chairs had disappeared, and the table was low to the ground and there was the CUTEST tea set you have ever seen. You need to talk to Adel about this, you wonder if this was because of the game. It occurs to you that it could be a VIRTUAL REALITY game, and you are deeply immersed in the AMAZING GRAPHICS. So cool. You hope you didn't somehow skip character creation, from what you've seen, you're the only thing that hasn't changed. Yup, this is going to be the best game ever, you just want to know how to log off, these EFFECTS are kinda creeping you out. You reach your brother's room, and too your relief, his computer hadn't changed while you were away.

The door to the house Crashes open as Giddytrot runs in. The Forest as grown so wild and close that it's pushing against the side of the building and spilling in through the door. Giddytrot collapses in the living room. Her legs look as if they've been torn apart, lacerations all over them, almost as if something had been eating bits of her flank. She whinnies in pain. A loud and low growling sound emanates from deep within the forest.

by coronersAssistant Tue Dec 13, 2011 7:52 pm

You don't have time to react when the door bursts open to reveal your BELOVED BEST FRIEND, her innocent blood staining the alien floors. You drop the SMARTPHONE Aron gifted you after you two had become friends, both your hands instinctively shoot up to cover your mouth. You feel sick to your stomach and you vision clouds. You hit the ground hard.

by sapientComposition Tue Dec 13, 2011 9:48 pm

Curses! It appears Morrigan has fainted. Something must be done. Acting quickly, you find a paper fan lying around and thwack it open, then begin to fan her face in a vigorous, but controlled fashion. You hope this is merely a reaction to her animal companion's state and nothing more. You'd hate it if a circumstance outside of your control left her with lasting consequences.

by coronersAssistant Tue Dec 13, 2011 9:50 pm

You awake confused and chilly to the WINDY GREETINGS of a strange fan. You see your THE GREATEST MARE dead in front of you. Your head hurts but it's bearable, you scramble away from the corpse and towards your smartphone.

You return to your conversation with Adel.

by coronersAssistant Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:06 pm

Spoiler:

Aron messages you halfway through the conversation, you attempt to navigate the SMARTPHONE enough to talk to both at them the same time.

Spoiler:

by coronersAssistant Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:34 pm

Spoiler:

You begin to pester Airi to warn her of the DANGERS of this torrented horror.

Spoiler:

You tell Adel you will return in a moment as Airi stops pestering you. You venture back to your brothers ANCIENT NUMBER SPITTER, your stride unsteady. GIDDYTROT is dead, and you can;t quite believe it, it doesn't feel right, nothing does. You are worried about Aron, you're pretty sure he's still gonna try to go into the forest, you tried your hardest to stop him. You stop thinking about it, you're only gonna get depressed, everything always works out well in the end anyway.

Your brothers computer is still on. You run the server program.

by coronersAssistant Wed Dec 14, 2011 1:04 am

SERVER/CLIENT CONNECTION COULD NOT PROCEED
INCOMPATIBLE

The screen buzzed with the light from the message. Oh. You believe that fate had led you to avoid a crisis, obviously Airi was not meant to play the game. This both calmed your worry for your friend but increased your own nervousness. Would you be the only one to play the game? You notice something you didn't see before, flashing numbers on the first machine Adel placed. It was at 1:20 minutes, and was going down fast.

Spoiler:

You grab the mysterious pink ax, what was even going on?!?!

by **panchromaticRhythm** Wed Dec 14, 2011 12:38 pm

Giddytrot prototypes with the Kernalsprite, now it takes the appearance of of the top half a horse, with a ghostly tail. It's chatter has been replaced with neighs and whineys. A giant vine rapidly grows at Morrie, wraps around her leg, and begins to pull her into the forest.

by coronersAssistant Wed Dec 14, 2011 6:24 pm

You hit the ground for the second time in 9 minutes, you wouldn't be so distressed if it was your own clumsiness that dropped you. But it was a rough dark green vine that had invaded the house with the rest of the EVIL vegetation. You claw at the floor to attempt to escape the grasp of the SLITHERING TENTACLE. When the vine holds tight you take the ax in your hand, and with all your MANGRIT, you swung it down onto the COARSE SHAFT.

by **panchromaticRhythm** Wed Dec 14, 2011 6:49 pm

The AXE buries deep into the flesh of the VINE. The WOUND begins to GLOW BRIGHTLY, and suddenly the light EXPLODES OUT, filling the WHOLE ROOM.

- - END OF BOOK 1, ACT 1 - -

by **panchromaticRhythm** Wed Dec 14, 2011 7:28 pm

when you are able to see again, the first thing you notice is that the DARK FOREST has retreated out of the house, and seems to have grown much LESS DENSE. the Kernalsprite continues to whinny and neigh, and all seems much.... calmer.

You've woken up in LOFAS, THE LAND OF FEATHERS AND SOUND

by coronersAssistant Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:49 am

Suddenly, everything stops. GIDDYTROT fused with the glow ball and was now some sort of pink ghost horse. She neighed happily, GIDDILY you could say. The axe had disappeared along with the FORLORN FOREST, not that you were disappointed. A nice BREEZE drifted in through the missing wall. You need to talk about this with Adel, you almost pester him, but you notice the return of your neighbour ARON.

Spoiler:

You hope this works out. What a strange turn of EVENTS this has been! If the MURDEROUS BUSH is after Aron, along with his house being on FIRE (which doesn't surprise you, but you are worried), the best thing you can do is get him over here.

You go to your brother's desktop and run the SERVER.

by **panchromaticRhythm** Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:59 am

Basically the same thing happens, except without the OMINOUS TREMORS

by coronersAssistant Thu Dec 15, 2011 1:24 am

A smile hits your face like a FIREY ROCKET would hit a test field. You witness then HEATY TRANSFORMATION of Aron's Uncle's farm. You also see smoke licking up the stairs to his room like the FLAMES LICKING up his new paper walls. You two are gonna have to make this quick.

Spoiler:

You were definitely not expecting that.

by coronersAssistant Thu Dec 15, 2011 1:48 am

You snort-giggle when Aron hits the windowsill, trying to contain your laughter. Now without a valuable form of communication, you attempt to put his Uncle's bedside lamp onto the ledge where the cylinder belongs. You nearly drop and break it, but you manage. You hope this gets the point across.

by coronersAssistant Thu Dec 15, 2011 2:04 am

You FACE PALM X1 at Aron's obliviousness to your directions. A second hand arrives at its destination; faceville, to create the FACE PALM X2 COMBO, when he laughs at poor, dead, Big Red, then accidently prototypes him.

Thankfully he returns to his Uncle's room. You try to emphasize your point by lifting the lamp on and off the contraption, gesturing towards him. You do this about six times when your cursor SLIPS. You drop the lamp and it shatters.

You need a third palm, you're failing so hard right now.
