Chapter 6: What's Faster Than Inter-dimensional Travel?

A/N: PSYCHE! You expected it to update really late, didn't you? Well, too bad! You'll have the update now!

Bec: Lemon.

You refuse! Lemons are WAY too sour! Not that you have any lemons, anyway...but knowing Mark, he might have some! Along with that, it seems you have company. You quickly lock your door, because to be honest you can't be bothered to fight—inter-dimensional travel takes a toll on a player!

* Exhausted from the rush, you fell asleep.

* The First Rogue has woken up in Derse.

Reader: Be Mark!

You are now Mark, and you are extremely nervous and relieved. You have just saved a life AND gotten your friend into the Medium! But you still need to get your other friends and yourself into the Medium! You wonder whether Rebecca/BEC would help you. She probably will. Anyways, you've decided to get your next friend into the Medium, as the others have zero idea of what to do, and you can see that Bec is down for the count. You spin a wheel with your friends' chumhandles, and it lands on FA! OK! Let's do this!

Reader: Be FA.

Your chumhandle is famousorangeAj or FA. Your name is actually Noah Orohane. You are 14 years old and are slightly older than Mark by a day and a week! At the moment, you are posting your goodbyes to your followers, like Ky is doing with hers. You run a little Wepipe channel and a successful Instantgraph account. You tend to post videos about an MMO RPG called Animals Juice-Journey. (A/N: This is not a real thing.) You like playing games, phones, social media, your friends, and laughing at people's horrible hairstyles, i.e. this one girl had tinsel in her hair, which was epic!

You are currently sitting in your bedroom, on your computer. In a while, Mark will come and talk so that both of you can escape the destruction of the world. You weren't very sure about it, but now you can definitely see the meteors outside your house and WOW that meteor went straight through that building really quickly! Where is Mark?! Anyways, you type in a bright orange colour, and in a way that is slightly sassy yet seriously happy :D :D :D :o :O. You finish typing and remember to send the link to SBURB as well. Goodbye!

Noah: Read Books.

Right now, you are reading your book which you need for your book report due tomorrow. It's not like there is a tomorrow anymore…anyways...this book is about a man stranded on an island. You wonder whether this was a coincidence or irony. You eat an orange while doing so: they are your favourite fruit!

Finally, after about half an hour, your phone and computer simultaneously ring! You rush to your computer. It's Mark! YES FINALLY WHAT TOOK HIM SO LONG?

-[ED] started chatting with [FA]-

[ED]: Hey!

[FA]: OMG YES

[FA]: Where have you been? I've been waiting for ages :(

[ED]: Sorry, had to rescue my other friend…

[FA]: Oh okay then

[ED]: OK, I'm going to get you into the game ok?

[ED]: Open the game file, and enter this password: ******

[FA]: OK! XD So excited lol

* You do as such. A logo resembling a house is coloured with different colours with each block. You doubt this will work…

[FA]: What do I do next?

[ED]: Wait a sec

[ED]: I need to deploy some things, k?

* You hear three slams in quick succession. You check these out, and they turn out to be rather weird machines. One of them has a tube on it. You also notice your chair is floating and moving towards it. It drops. A flash occurs as the lid of it drops to the ground, and a rather large ball of light starts what appears like beating unhappily. It heads to the nearest object in the room—an orange plushie. It makes a weird noise, and it starts to whirl around you. You start clapping to the beat of the in-game music SBURB has, noting that the orb seems to be dancing to the beat. Anyways, you look at the electronic display at the bottom of what is called the Cruxtruder. 20 minutes left, apparently? Anyways, you notice a wheel. You turn it and out comes a rather cool orange cylinder of some sorts. Anyways, a card seems to pop into existence right next to you. You really are confused what to do next. There seems to be a slot for this weirdly-shaped card, on the second machine, which looks like a sewing machine, and so you put it in. After flailing around for some time, you also put the cylinder in its proper place. The "sewing machine" starts to carve out it out once you turn its wheel. It looks like a vase. Anyways, you flail around for a bit, wondering what to do next. It seems the card has been put away by Mark. You quickly look to the timer, which counts down to 7 minutes. You are REALLY freaking out now. However, Mark starts to move around the third machine, as if he was trying to tell you something. You calm down and put the weird sculpture onto a smaller pad. The dowel seems to fade out of existence while orange sparks start to fly around you. Out comes a bunch of orange wool and needles. YOU REALLY START TO SCREAM NOW. WHAT DO YOU DO WHAT DO YOU DO?

Reader: Be Mark.

You are now Mark, and you are currently watching your friend do #(hashtag)silentscreaming. You wonder what to do. You are getting real tired of this, and also, the clock is counting down! 4 minutes!

Reader: Be Noah again.

You have now calmed down. You check Mark's messages. It seems you have done exactly what you should do, as shown by his earlier messages. The later ones were Mark telling you to calm down and reassure you. After about a second, Mark suggests you put the wool and the needles onto that needly machine. For some reason, it works! The wool starts to unravel. It becomes a scarf! At the same time, a little bird comes flying through your bedroom window. It's carrying its eggs. You feel sorry for it and catch them in the scarf. After a few short trips, you notice that the bird is wounded, perhaps from the meteors? You aren't sure. You quickly catch it before it collapses and you go straight to the medicine cabinet. However, the best you can do is give it antiseptic and plasters. Mark seems to want to touch the bird. You promptly let go, and he does first aid on the bird. Hmm...Achievement Unlocked for him I guess… The bird then promptly is dragged to the scarf, surrounded by her eggs. You take a look outside your window and oh my goodness it is right there. It's not like you could run, anyway. Suddenly, Mark grabs you by your hoodie and drops you next to the scarf. You curl around it, hoping to protect it. 2 seconds left. You cry out a quick word, and suddenly, throughout the city, people can hear yet another resounding boom, Mark being among them.

Welcome, Mage of Hope, to the Land of Fireworks and Speeding Transportation.

Reader: Be Mark!

You are now Mark. You actively hope that Noah's fine. You check on Bec. Still sleeping, I see. You think it's time for you to get one more friend into the Medium, and then you'll call it quits for today. You spin the wheel again, and it lands on CR. You quickly go ahead and message her.

Reader: Be CR.

You are curiousReader, or CR. You—wait, someone wants to talk to you.

-[ED] started talking to [CR]-

[ED]: Hey!

[CR]: ...yes?

[ED]: Sorry XD

[ED]: You should open SBURB now!

[CR]: Brb I will…

* Anyways, before Mark interrupts you again, you will introduce yourself. You are CR, but your name is Honey Page. You are 16, going on 17, and you wonder whether people get that reference. Anyways, you like many fandoms, and you also like books a lot. LIKE A LOT A LOT. (A/N: I really wonder why these guys like reading owo) You were also currently typing out the last chapter and stocking up on whatever it is you needed. Hint: Happens every month. Anyways, you like anything about some specific fandoms, i.e. Professor What. You have a little brother who is currently with his parents. On the other hand, Mark sees you as an "ate" or "onee-shan" or older sister figure. You wonder what he is up to now…

* You open up SBURB. You question whether this will work. You trust that Mark knows what he is doing. You can see from your house already the meteors. They are rather large, red, and full of craters for meteors, you observe. You're pretty sure they should be called smol planets. Anyways, Mark has started to tell you what to do. 3 different slams happen across your house. A rather weird card-thing has appeared out of nowhere. You take it and go to what Mark calls the Cruxtruder. Anyway, it appears that Mark has placed the sofa on top of it. Its lid (which you didn't realize existed) has popped off, and out comes a shiny thingy! You aren't sure it's very happy. Anyways, you stare at it in awe. You seriously can't believe this is happening! You could throw anything you wanted, and it would follow you, at least according to Mark! All the fandom shipping comes to mind, and you earnestly squeal. However, Mark has told you what you put in will also strengthen your enemies, so you decide to leave it alone. In the meantime, you turn the Cruxtruder's wheel, and out comes a mauve-taupe cylinder! You wonder whether you should throw it at that weird sprite. You disagree, and you go to the Totem Lathe to put that beautiful piece of cylinder that it is. It becomes a weird concave shape once you put in that odd piece of card. You take this and place it on the Alchemiter. Out comes a journal and a pen. You write a story about a child who lived amongst those not of his kind. 5 minutes. You write about how they played in a muddy flower garden with a goat child. 3 minutes. You continue about how they slept in the soil. 1 minute. (From his laptop, Mark could read what she was writing. He was pretty sure she wrote what Bec had read.) You quickly end with how that child became the heart of the kingdom and lived happily… ever…

Throughout the city, the third crash resounded.

Welcome, Sylph of Heart, to the Land of Books and Mystery.

Meanwhile…

Reader: Be Bec again.

You are now Bec. It seems you have woken up in a purple room! You realize what this place is, and how dangerous it is! It is Derse! Perhaps you can find other dreamselves. You try to fly out of your room, but the windows are boarded up. Instead, you take a slower way, reaching each tower. At the moment, there are only 3 towers. However, the other two players are awake as well in their own beds, as if in a state of delusion. You reassure each one and grab them. You persuade them to join you. You quickly message Mark before you wake up, and you explain to the others what is happening while having a little tea party in your room.

A/N: HA YOU GOT FOOLED! THIS AIN'T NOT EVER NEVER A JOKE! I LIMITED YOUR EXPECTATIONS...HAHAHHAHA! Also, 3 people are in the Medium! The trolls are still busy, but one will come within the next few chapters! Anyways, I'll see you guys in the next chapter.

P.S. Someone helped me to make walksprites for the human characters! Also, the plot will be very different than this! Also, 2,016 words NOW!
