In the future not to far from today... a large group of people receive a highly anticipated game. They are the Homestuck fandom. Most donated fro their games through the kick-starter and others went to purchase the game from the site that had been set up just for the game. We focus in on a certain player. She is a little bit on the heavy side but she carries herself like a hero. A few squeals of joy can be heard fro the 22 year old college student as her roommate rolls her eyes. "I'm guessing that your game is finally here?" the roommate asks. "Yes. It was finally released to the public," the female answers as she clicks a few things on her computer screen and her roommate walks over. "SBURB Mu?" the roommate reads over her shoulder. "Guess that's what Hussie decided to call it," she replies before looking back at her roommate. "Don't you have night classes to get to?" The roommate glares at her before gathering her things and heading to the school.
((switching to past tense now))
A few minutes had pasted since her roommate had left, the female was slightly antsy and nervous as she flipped on the one TV in the dorm.
"Meteors striking in the most unusual places" was the head lining story. "The only connection that we have for all of the struck places is a game that was just released. After being worked on for two years, SBURB Mu is being deemed dangerous by neighbors and fans of the web comic Homestuck," crackled an anchor for the news before the student flipped it off. "Screw this life and sorry Michi," muttered the student as she clicked her loaded game file that read PLAYER-FILE.

The start screen read like the comic the student had come to love, but at the same time not. 'Enter Name- _______' was the first line on her start screen 'Enter Name- Beth Snider' was entered. 'Age: 22' was the next. 'Gender: Female' was the last prompt as the student hit the enter key.
"I'm hoping this doesn't end like their session did," the student, Beth, whispered as she waited for her server to become active.
(((And I don't mind others working on this with me. Group work is welcome)))

As she waited for her server to activate Beth hopped on to an old chat system that she had been lucky enough to install while her roommate was in class.
'anticipatedGrim[AG][AG] has become bored and ready for pestering!' read her screen as she looked through her list of acquaintances.
"Yeah this is going to be a long night," Beth mumbled as she looked away.

A few minutes passed before a second name popped up in the chat server. 'golemTerror[GT] has started to pester anticipatedGrim[AG]'
GT: Sorry for the lateness. Family wanted to try and talk me out of playing SBURB with you and the others. AG: It's fine. So I'm guessing you're my server? GT: It would seem so. Name's Terry by the way. AG: Beth. So you mind getting me started so we can move on with our session? Also there seems to be a meteor heading towards my dorm. GT: Dorm? Like private school for rich kids? AG: No more like a college dorm. GT: ..... So my client is a college student. Sweet! The guys on the forums would never believe that. AG: Just get started with placing things after your disc loads.
Beth just stared at the screen before muttering, "I'm playing with kids..... This isn't going to end well." and waiting for another message from Terry.
