Sister From Different Mister [lucia's entry]

Shortly after being told Lucia's IP address, Zoey found it easy to see Lucia on the list of potential clients. It was finally their turn to make it in the game, with all her emotional turmoil going on, she felt that the meteors were only a minor thing going on. She kept her screen neatly organized. Promptly hitting the button to connect to Cia, she felt proud. There was finally some progress on this game! With all the feeling inducing conversations, this had been put off a lot. In fact, Zoey felt like she would be crushed to death by a meteor at this rate.

AC: Okay I think I'm connecting to you. Accept me o k .3. ^^
AC: Hopefully this works, I don't feel like dying.
AC: Though for some reason I wouldn't be too upset, I mean right now the thought of getting crushed doesn't seem TOO bad.
AC: I hope we get this show on the move though umu
AC: I didn't accidentally request a different person right?

She looked around in London. There was definitely fire. But she was still on her houseboat, slightly hoping to not die today, and on her computer.

LAIKA OF GS!

The pigeons were everywhere. They flew about because the streets had people panicking in them. She needed to get in the game, that's what she needed to do. But right now it was Lucia's turn, the meteor heading for her would hit sooner than her own, so she needed to get Lucia in the game. Zoey took a deep breath, hopefully this server stuff wouldn't be so hard.



"Okay Zoey, let's do this," she said to herself. Suddenly on her screen there was, Lucia? Strange, it looked like it was her room, and in real life too. There was a menu on top of her screen, and her mouse was some strange cursor that looked a bit like a house.



AC: Cia, you were Gene's server right? I'm looking at your house, at it looks like, with this strange top menu and a house-cursor.

AC: This is how the game is supposed to be, correct :?

AC: I think I'll use this umbrella as my strife specibus. It's not the best, but It's long enough to work as a lance with the pointy spike

AC: My dad sharpened it in case any pigeons ever wanted to sit on it. It could work for now. Maybe later I'll be able to get one of my dad's guns.

AC: He keeps them locked up so I can't get to them right now. What's your strife specibus again?

AC: Also, moving inside, getting too fiery and loud out here >.<



She carefully closed the giant umbrella from her terrace table, tucking it under her arm. With her upper arm keeping it with her, she used her hands to carry her computer, with the mouse resting on top of the keyboard. There was no need to worry about it accidentally doing anything,she minimized all her windows and unplugged the mouse for now. All there was no was to get inside and to the living room. If Zoey sat on the floor then putting the laptop on the coffee table would make for a comfortable posture for typing and escaping the world.

LAIKA OF GS!

After Lucia mentioned where to put different...things, Zoey took a look around her own boat. Two floors of a literal floating mansion. There was surely enough space to put everything for her own time with a server, which would probably be Gio by the time she was finished with Lucia.

Okay, right now she had to dedicated everything to her. This was the time to give her all for Lucia like she always tried to. Zoey patted the cheeks of her face, to focus once more. Her hand gripped her mouse tightly along the sides, exploring the new menu. First she was to get the cruxtruder, it had a weird shape that did not look like any other machines that she had seen in real life. Lucia new her business though, everyone else had done it, so she could do it too! It was for Lucia!

Putting it down on the floor of her room was much easier than she thought it would be. It was on a space that didn't look to have much mess. From looking at the machines in the menu she already started to come up with a layout for everything that should give Lucia enough room to move about comfortably, save for the alchemizer which would be going out in the hallway. Her house was a strange sight to see from her computer still, but Zoey was trying her very very best not to think about the curious game play and more about the survival of her group.

AC: Okay, cruxtruder is in, as you can see.

Quickly she put the totem lathe in a different place, not too hard at all.

AC: So is the totem lathe!
AC: It didn't take up any of this 'grist' stuff, so these are the free things?

Even from inside with the windows shut she could hear things going outside. Who was the last player to get in again? It would be utter hell around them.

LAIKA OF GS!

Zoey could see that Lucia was not okay at the moment. How could she stop it? She had already found out about how clicking on the client wouldn't do anything, so there wasn't anything she could do by patting Lucia with the mouse, that would only be annoying at most. It was most probable.



First of all, she got down to business. After that concern was taken care of she could get to patting Lucia intensely through pesterchum as best as she could to console her. Did it have to do with the world? The meteors were already arriving, who could blame anyone for being afraid or having anxiety if they have the game. Would anyone not playing the game survive?



The alchemiter plopped in the hallway only a few steps away from Lucia. Okay, that was taken care of. It would be best to calm her worries about getting a crowbar as well, for whatever reason she requested her to get one for. A pre-punched card also READY plopped down, waiting silently in the menu of free



AC: Okay, I'll go get a crowbar.

AC: You just take a moment to get the air you need and everything, okay?

AC: Don't worry, we'll be safe!

AC: I'll be right back to do more server things!



She quickly rushed away from her lap top, setting her water bottle on the table with the lid most definitely closed calmly before she did. Zoey proceeded to run down two sets of stairs with the utmost focus as to not fall. And while she scampered she checked to see if all the windows were closed, they were. The tide wasn't affected from the meteors yet, thank goodness. It would be harder to do stuff with a rocking boat. She knew where the tools were kept so it didn't take long to rummage through the disgusting smell of metal to grab a dirty crowbar. After washing her hands, rushing up stairs, and plopping down in front of her laptop once again with crowbar safe in fetch modus:



AC: Okay, got a crowbar uwu.

AC: What's the reason?

AC: Also, are you okay now?

AC: We have enough time for you to take a break if you need one .o.

AC: Oh, and should I put in the pre-punched card yet?

LAIKA OF GS!

Zoey watched with focus, taking mental notes for when her own time to be a client. Even though all of these things had such dumb names like Kernelsprite, they sure had a deep use. Perhaps later, when the immediate, falling thread had quieted down she would find her answers.

Her world was ending, that was it. Zoey would never be the queen of anything here, maybe later. Her mind was amazing at remembering what had happened in life, she was good at remembering. Zoey would be able to do this, she knew she would. She was Zoey Loyola. She had to be the best. And it wouldn't stop now. Her hand calmly clicked and unclicked, letting a pre-punched card fall just beside the totem lathe, which she remembered from her friend's tips that it was needed to be put in there. It lay silently, what would it look like when the next process happened?

AC: Okay, pre-punched card is next to the Totem Lathe .3. !
AC: I'm still going to worry about you, but I'll make sure you're safer in the Medium first uwu.
AC: I'll make sure not to make my sprite anything that could be dangerous too!
AC: So those are all we need for getting in the medium, right?

The kernelsprite was actually quite fascinating. How would she study hers when it came to be? And, also when she was not around Earth anymore. London was in quite a panic, but the docks were mostly alright due to not many people being there. Still, Zoey could hear the screams of both people and animal through the air, with fires alive with burning happiness. If it was not so deadly, perhaps she would find fire beautiful. But right now, it was burning her city right to the ground. Hers.There was going to be a new episode of her favorite anime in two days. It was all very tragic, really. So many things would not be accomplished or finished. Zoey was looking forward to going to college.

Her fingers tapped lightly against the keyboard, all she did was watch Lucia for right now. She hummed a tune to her favorite song, something that she couldn't remember the title of, actually. Eh, the title would come back eventually. There was no need to remember it. Like the universe, the mind works in fascinating ways.
