sitnes part 5 (homestuck au.)

(*h g*d... i f*rg*t t* add s*mething!~ s* s*rry i have t* update this...~) >you walk out to check the MAIL. you’re suddenly crashed into by something SOFT. "*-*h g*d!~ i-i'm s* s*rry!~ i sh-sh*uld have been l**king where i was running!~" >you look at who's speaking. wow. you only though you'd see one of these in “The Totally Mandatory Quest of Collecting Very Important Magic Things While Accidentally Getting Everyone Killed by Dragons and Occasionally Making Friends with Some Talking Rocks: A Very Long Roleplaying Game About Rolling Dice and Talking About Rolling Dice” (or as you like to call it, "Quest of Very Important Things"). it's a tabaxi. and a snow leopard at that. it appears to be male. well, we don't know that, but Soluvian seems to think so. it does look kind of like a female, but so does Soluvian, so you trust him with deciphering this young man(?)'s gender. he(?) gets up. oh. now you can see why Soluvian was saying that. it's... kinda obvious... but in your defence, you could only just see that. god, you bet Soluvian was a bit uncomfortable. after all, this boy fell onto Soluvian, not the other way around. and not JUST because the boy fell on top... "s-s*rry...~ *ne *f my marbles r*lled *ff when i tried t* take s*mething else *ut *f my m*dus...~" >what kind of modus does this guy have? it just spits out random items? that doesn't sound so good. "m-my m*dus has a thing where 25% *f t-the time i try t* get s*mething i-it dr*ps s*mething d-different...~" >oh. that says a lot about why he chose the modus — you can basically get anything out whenever you want without much trouble. >you pick up the marble beside you. or Soluvian does. and hand it over to the boy. "*-*h... thank y-y*u...~ my n-name's ja-jack... y*-y*u seem nice...~ h-here's my tr*lltag... a-after all... i have t* repay y*u s*meday...~" >he seems nice too. you take the piece of paper he offered you and captcholouge it. his trolltag is "shinyTempest". "h-hey... have y*u heard *f that new game c*ming *ut...?~" >you tell him that, yes, you have heard of it, and that it's coming out in 2 hours. "t-tw* h*urs...?!~ g*d... i've g*t t* get h*me...!~ h-hey... i h*pe y*u d*n't mind... but wanna play later...?~ i-i just m*ved here and d*n't have any f-friends... n*t even *nline *nes...~" >you start thinking. the game was designed for 6 players. but it is possible for seven players. you tell him that sure, he can play. you'll send the other players' trolltags through one of your chats. "t-thank y*u...!~" >he hugs you. his tail swishes. but soon enough, he is running to his hive. wait, did he call it a "home?" weird... >you captchalouge the four (4) boxes by your mailbox. one beige one, one green one, one blue one, and one teal one. >you head inside.
