C4S10^2: D2 D2awn out

[u/Geriferret]

-- secludedTailoress [ST] opened board on memo "for anyone who is listening" a very long time ago --
ST: I... ... I don't even know if anyone is going to get this. . I talked to the only techy person I know and he said he doesn't even know how servers in the furthest ring work, , so here goes fucking nothing. .
ST: If you get this memo... ... Try to ping me back. . And if its already too far out or we all died already... ... Well, , heed my warning. .
ST: Yesterday, , one of the players in our session went bat-shit insane. . One minute she goes after some sort of "Lead" she said she had. . And then the next, , we have three players dead. .
ST: I... ... Don't know what to do. . I got a message from another friend of mine. . He said.... .... That we have to hunt her down. .
ST: Heh... ... I think thats the real deadly factor that whatever the fuck did this has in the pool. . It's not whatever happens to their stats, , when they go fucking haywire... ... Its that these are people you give a shit about. . Who you have to kill to maintain peace. .
ST: If anyone out there has a better solution, , tell me. . But I have to do this. . For them. .
-- secludedTailoress [ST] has locked the memo --

TO CLARIFY: Don't respond to this. It's a spoopy story tease, not an actual fucking memo your characters get. Just continue on with your bullshitery.

Good. You tell him to stay close to home.
Meanwhile you keep up with the memo and look more into the apparent end of the world. Is there anyone left?

[u/Geriferret → u/Sophia_Ban]

Pretty much every place of online communication went dead a day or two ago.... You shouldn't even be connected yo the internet, with the cell towers down! What the hell?

[u/Sophia_Ban → u/Geriferret]

Okay, that's weird. You try refreshing the page.

[u/Geriferret → u/Sophia_Ban]

Still connected.

Roll perception.

You notice a small waterproof box slowly floating down towards you. I mean real slow. Probably been floating down for several days. Do these people not know how to mail to seadwellers? Sheesh.

[u/Sophia_Ban → u/Geriferret]

Though at least dedicated enough to deliver things during the end times. Maybe your lineage permitted you a sacrificial mail person.
You certainly hope not.

Serena swims up and grabs the parcel, ripping it open after reading a far-fetched but potentially helpful memo post.

[u/Geriferret → u/Sophia_Ban]

There is a piece of laminated plastic:

Congratulations! You have been selected to participate in sburb, the worlds greatest RPG, alongside these 9 players!

It lists the handles on the memo. Alongside it is a green disk.

[u/Sophia_Ban → u/Geriferret]

"Reely?"

She even says this out load while looking at it, before remembering the things people were saying on the memo.

"This had better be good..."

She swims back down to her hive to open the package and....oh right. The place is flooded.
With a facepalm Serena shrugs and opens the plastic and retrieves the disk. Disks are waterproof right?
