Two separate notes

[vstheworld]

[OOC: First strikeout illegible; second strikeout mostly legible on purpose.]

So I was thinking about that game Mental Quest again. You know, the one with the secret basement dungeon part. I know how to get in there now but it sounds like a pretty hard level to beat, so I was thinking of bulking up my party to tackle it. I'm thinking I'll probably take my guy, the adventurer with the whip, the lightning mage, and the spider guy costumed fighter. Think those characters would be up to handling the level possibly tonight? I know my guy at least has recovered enough health to give it a shot.

Shinichi,

Are you [illegible scribbles and hesitation marks here] okay again?

Thanks for everything last night, by the way.

Oh, yeah, I've heard of that level! I've heard that the sword of kings might be down there. Anyway, good luck taking it on!

On a side note, was anyone else around for that "Inferno" event that happened a while back? I've heard that there's some sweet loot for it, but all I managed to get was a lousy red mitten...

[still hasn't talked to Guybrush XD]

[vstheworld]

I lost a red mitten and some of my items got charred mysteriously, but I don't remember there being an event or anything. What the hell are you talking about, man?

[disguised, strikeouts legible with some effort]

[piggy-king.livejournal.com]

I think the only NPC that was around that time was something like a viking. A mighty viking. I remember that he had a hook peg leg. Maybe you could ask him?

[doesn't get it]

[vstheworld]

I don't know any vikings.

[disguised]

[piggy-king.livejournal.com]

I think that his name was something like...Dudebush Fourpstick.

Or something like it.

[vstheworld]

Oh. OH. I know who you mean.

Mancomb Seepgood, right?

...Seriously, though, what are you talking about? What do you want with my mitten my guy's mitten?

[disguised]

[piggy-king.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. I already have the mitten. Like I said, you ought to talk with the NPC. He'll fill you in on the details. Like I said, it was quite the event.

[NOT SIGNING THIS BECAUSE HE'S PARANOID, but he hopes Scott will get the gist.]

[tightsofmight]

Subtle.

Sounds fun. But where do they start out? Costumed guy hasn't gotten that far yet.

[pfffft, the woes of costumed vigilantism]

[vstheworld]

Oh you want subtle?

I think it's easiest to start outside the Room of Sunlight. It's hard enough getting past that area, basement or no basement. From there, it's another couple of rooms north to the secret entrance.

[noifsandsorbubs.livejournal.com]

What's stopping you from taking more than four?

[vstheworld]

Nothing really. Those are just the four who I've played with the most so far. You got a suggestion for a fifth? The more the merrier, man.

[unsigned but undisguised]

[its-the-mileage.livejournal.com]

I know someone else who might be interested.

[vstheworld]

Cool. Can't wait to play with them. [an arrow points across a couple papers to this note]

[noifsandsorbubs.livejournal.com]

Don't really know the game, but it seems like you'd have a better chance if you took as many as you could.

[still hasn't figured out who he's talking to]

[vstheworld]

This is true.

So are you just some concerned onlooker then? Or do you actually want in on this? [hastily added] Recommending a specific party member, I mean.

[noifsandsorbubs.livejournal.com]

Be subtle a different way next time. I got I might have a recommendation or two, but don't wait around too long. For them. I got something to do.

[vstheworld]

You saw where I'm starting? Wait is this Lo

Hey man if you're who I think you are, I'll definitely wait up for you if you need! How long would your thing take?

[noifsandsorbubs.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't take too long, but don't wait. You need all the time you can get. I'll be right behind you.

[strikeout rendered VERY illegible when he remembered who he was talking to]

[vstheworld]

That's what I said to your mom last night.

No sweat, guy. We'll see you if we see you.

[von Karma doesn't respond to the first note but keeps tabs on it to find out if this "adventurer with the whip" replies to it.]

[strikeout somewhat legible]

[its-the-mileage.livejournal.com]

Fine with me, if you're sure you're up to it, dude.

I looked for a fire extinguisher, but I couldn't [more pen taps; he's mystified about this code] beat that level because of the doors. But I was in the area with the chandelier briefly and didn't see the monster I'd heard was there.

[vstheworld]

I'll be fine. [pen tap] Probably.

Oh yeah, I had a ton of trouble with those doors too. Good you got a look at the area, though. Maybe the monster is only there sometimes?

[doneinthree]

Mental Quest? Is that the one with the frustrating maze level?

JTK

[vstheworld]

Could be? If there is one, I haven't gotten there yet. What level's that in?

[doneinthree]

Sorry, I recently played a [hesitating pen marks] demo with a labyrinth level, and wondered if this was the same game. It seemed a little too massive to fit into a basement, but hey, when did those games ever make sense?

[vstheworld]

Looked like there were a few different doors leading out of the first area in the basement. Maybe one of them leads to a labyrinth level?

[meitantei.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. Everything seems to be back to normal.

Don't mention it.
