Welcome to Gaia! ::

The following episodes happened before the most recent one recorded one post above. Please excuse the possible breakage of rules. I will be looking over them to do any editing if I must.

*note that each new document I make related to the dream saga will have the known date of when on earth this would have occurred along with a sub-title if it was an actual show.*

September 1, 1983

A whole new world

- Please note that this saga does not take place on earth, but on a Planet known as Hamster and in a galaxy called the Renaissance.


A young 4 year old girl (me) named Dee was playing a game of house with her so-called 7 year old red head friend named Margaret. She had her parents's basement overloaded with plushies, a real mess. In one of the unfinished rooms was a baby doll carriage. Margaret had convinced Dee to go into this baby doll carriage and pretend to be a baby.

Meanwhile, in South-Town, 12 year old Terry Bogard had just left for South-Town's infamous Finishing School, which is said to help with unpolished martial arts skills. He had, in his spare time, as a private project assigned to him by Haikyokoseiken Master Tung Fu Rue, begun working on a mansion that he was going to live in once it was completed. Terry had so far only dug out one basement level out of four just north of Sound Beach. He had placed in this basement a baby carriage that his forest wolf friends (actual wolves) had given to him as his right of passage. (Terry becoming a pack leader)

While Terry was at school, Margaret Yagami, a 30 year old sorceress disguised as a 7 year old holding a masking spell on 4 year old Dee, was robbing Terry of this carriage as was ordered by yet to be known criminal organization called Addes. The carriage held Terry's famous Fatal Fury hat, the one with the steel reflector plate across the visor.

By the time Margaret had Dee in the carriage and started making her escape, the masking spell wore off and Dee discovered who Margaret really was. Dee thought, at the time, that this was part of the game of house, but with an awesome trick! She was having the time of her life!

She took notice of her new surroundings. It was pretty much a barren wasteland tumble weeds rolling wild as Margaret ran with the carriage at top speed along the trail that ran alongside the Northbound/Southbound railroad tracks. She was heading North, to the Crossroads, then she was going to turn left so to head to Castle Yagami, a famous landmark on Planet Hamster.

When Magaret reached half-way, a golden wolf made a loud howl, thus getting Dee's attention. Dee saw that a wolf was now chasing them, and encouraged Margaret to run faster. Dee wasn't afraid of the wolf, far from it. She was just having so much fun. Wheeeeeeee!!!!!

Well, this wolf wasn't any ordinary wolf. This wolf was our friend Terry Bogard. Yes, when Terry has to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time, an animal instinct awakens within him and he morphs into this creature. Its cool to see him transform though I doubt anyone here has actually seen it.

"Give me back the buggy Margaret!" Terry shouted in a language that Dee could understand.

"Forget it, Bogard!" Margaret shouted back, then stuck out her tongue at him.

Well, once that bit of rudeness happened, Margaret's foot got stuck within the tracks at the crossroads. The freight train, on time, was about to travel on through.

What happens when a freight train is about to cross at this intersection, the metallic rails that are slightly apart will lock in place, thus trapping anything that crosses it. The train gate will also begin to go down at this same time. The train does not stop at the crossroads, only at the stations that its scheduled to go. There is no engineer for these trains for they are on an automatic system. A machine of sorts more than an extensive vehicle. The passenger trains stops at the crossroads, however.

Needless to say, the buggy that Dee was in, had made an abrupt halt. Dee was thrown into the back of the buggy where she discovered Terry's hat. Actually, Dee fell into the hat, she was that small. She got a good whiff of a floral shampoo that Terry uses, which later on, caused Dee to be attracted to him.

Terry noticed the train was coming and had to think fast. As soon as Dee had the hat in her hands, Terry kicked the buggy off of the tracks just in time. The sound of Margaret being squished under the freight train could be heard. (Yuck!)

After the train passed, Terry saw that the buggy had tipped over and Dee was unconscious. Dee wasn't dead, only KOed. Terry took Dee north into Hamster City where his mother Cynthia Anne Radiance lived.

Hamster City isn't a city full of hamsters nor is Planet Hamster filled with these rodents. Planet Hamster and the northern city got its name from three mutant-sized Hamsters. Hoarder, Hugga, and Hammy. This city, Hamster City is a commercial based locale more like Earth's Hollywood California and is famous for its movie related venues.

The compass of planet Hamster is also different from earth. Instead of the directions going North, East, South, and West in that order, on Planet Hamster, the directions go North, West, South, and East.

I guess hamsters get their left from their right mixed up, therefore that's how the compass is. Yagami Castle on an Earth Compass would be in the West, though for the way Yagami Castle and that whole section is designed, its more like the orient.

So, the first "episode" is complete. Please comment below on your thoughts, thank you.

Resuming from the current episode in this on-going saga, the first thing I did from our fishing trip is get Terry into bed. The poor man caught a chill when out so late and therefore, the trip ended sooner than expected.

Tucking him in, I assured my husband that everything was going to be fine and not to worry. Soon after, Terry was sound asleep.

I turned on the humidifier and the fan just so that Terry's fever would subside while I went upstairs to the bar to make for Terry some nice shark-fin soup. When I did get into the bar, I was surprised to see that Iori was already there working. There was also a full count of customers! I had to admit that I was impressed.

With a smirk, for a little bit of humor, I asked Yagami, "Do your customers follow you like zombies or something?"

Iori knew it was a joke right away, and replied, "Ha, ha, very funny, Dee. So, how's Terry? I heard that he fell ill."

I nodded, "Yeah, he did. Nothing serious, though. I was just going to make him some shark-fin soup."

Passing me a steaming hot bowl of the soup, Iori said, "There you are, Empress. We can talk later."

I was certainly impressed with the speed that Iori was working, but could not help but think that there was a reason why he was at my lounge instead of his own glorious steakhouse. Talking later would be a priority for sure. I had to know why he was working today.

Terry enjoyed the soup, devouring it in record time. He said to me once he finished, "May I have more, hon? That soup was your best yet."

Giggling, I replied, "Sure, but it wasn't me who made it. Iori's cooking today."

"That's weird, Dee," He said.

I nodded. "For sure, but I'll go fetch you some more soup."

After 10 more bowls of the same soup, Terry was finally full and said that he was going to be asleep for the rest of the night.

So, back up the stairs I went and had a decent conversation with Yagami while never skipping a beat on the already fast-paced service that was going on. I found out that Iori was going all-out this year on Halloween and the final preparations were being made accordingly to the itinerary that I gave to Yagami for ideas. The construction for the event required that Yagami be out of the castle for the rest of the week, and so, Yagami was spending his time working the bar and having a decent vacation, "for once" as he put it.

The following morning, the boss had sent Terry an e-mail telling him that he had an assignment and that I was going to be working with Terry on it. There was construction going on in Hamster City where my parents were residing, but for some odd reason, production was going much slower than expected. It was Terry's job to find out why that was and then I had to be on "clean-up" duty if there was something criminal involved.

Terry had spotted Kyo Kusanagi acting strange right on the job site. He radioed me, telling me the "head's up" and that I should find out more on what Kyo was doing, thus staying within protocol.

As I was leaving through the back gate at my parents's rather stylish cave, Harry Potter just had to delay me. He just wanted to catch up on news and such, and without intentional harm, I hurt HP's feelings. I figured that I would have to apologize later. I even made a note of it on my scouter's to-do list function, something Terry had added onto it.

I found out that Kyo was just merely drunk and being an a** to the workers there. Using my dragon powers, I literally flew Kyo off of the job site and brought him to the lounge where I placed him on the 82nd floor in the 5th room on the right. The moment I set him in the bed, he promptly fell asleep.

And so ends yet another episode. I sure hope you enjoyed it. Later!

After finding out what was going on in Hyrule and saving everyone, it was time for the infamous Bogard grocery shopping trip. This time, Terry, Rock, Link, Corrigan, and I would be doing the shopping.

On separate lists, like a game of Supermarket Sweep, we were to see who could get their items and be done the fastest. Joe Higashi, who also accompanied us, but waited for us at the end of the tills, had a stopwatch for each of us.

We found out that the supermarket we went to was corrupted and wasn't treating the customers fairly. So, when we were done, Terry had told the manager of the market to treat their customers fairly and if we find that the manager fails to comply by the next grocery shopping day, the store and its chain of stores will be shut down permanently.

Needless to say, it was a fun day of shopping. Until next time...laters!

Back at the Truesdale Manor. Zane had put in an official investigation shout out to the Secret Service on behalf of his wife Trunks. Yes, my son. Trunks Truesdale was frightened out of his wits when he used the usual secret code to go to the Orochi Volcano to do some thinking and an evil form of the Egyptian "God" Ra came out.

Unlike the card that Yugi Mutou uses, this thing really was invincible, or so we thought. We brought in Andy on the job and he translated the hieroglyphics perfectly! A new secret passageway was revealed! And this thing, it was just reeking with criminal activity. As quickly as Andy, Terry, and I are on missions, we could not go very fast on this one.

Unfortunately, I left the mission before it was finished due to stupid wrong numbers. And so, I await to see how well it turned out. Until next time... Laters!

Returning to my mom and dad's I had discovered that Rock was on "Babysitting" duty having to look after my demented Uncle Garth. It was Rock's mission to be sure that Garth stayed off of the drugs and to punish Garth severely if Garth tried to steal anything from the cave.

Midnight rolled around and I had the oddest craving for ice cream. Now with my parent's back from their outing I decided to have Rock join me. Secretly, though, while I was going to enjoy that yummy frozen treat help Terry with an investigation dealing with murders in around the area that my parents were before they came home.

When Terry, Rock and I returned to the cave, we cuffed both mom and dad, and charged them with murder. My Uncle Garth was sent to South town University hospital to be under maximum security where no drugs except prescribed ones to get him better both mentally and physically were to be given to him.

It was a successful operation to say the least and it seemed like business as usual with the Renaissance Secret Society.

Two adventures back to back!

In this first one, it would seem that I decided to read the assignment I had on the train. Apparently, it was to research a game that some people claim it to be bugged beyond words.

Anyone I knew could be added to my team, but after I was done with the inspection, I was to write up my report.

While thinking of whom I wanted to add to this assignment, I saw Blaze get aboard the train followed by Iori. I knew only who was who by the fashion of both guys. Iori is also slightly taller than his son. However, both Blaze and Iori look physically identical otherwise.

Iori decided to talk with me after a bit and after I hadn't got off of the train, where the train was now heading the other way. He asked me where I was actually going, which I replied, "I dunno. I have to decide whom to add to this assignment as my co-workers. Once I do that, then I will know which stop to get off at. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy the trip."

Then Iori asked me, "May I see the details of the assignment? This way I may be of assistance to you."

I thought that by the expression on Iori's face that he wanted me off the train in a hurry for some reason, but I realized that I was thinking a silly thought and showed Iori the directive. Iori then said to me, "Ah," in a knowleged tone, "You are first going to want your family involved. That is your mom, your dad, your sister, and your sister's husband. They were last scene at the Buckin' Cave. After that, get Terry, Trunks Truesdale, and Zane aboard. Finally, come see me at the Steakhouse. I will have the remaining recruits there."

"Do I really need all of those players?"

Iori nodded, "You do. I know what game your boss is talking about. She is referring to a new KOF game that just came out and yes, she is right, it is bugged. The only way to see how along with a possible fix is to play the game. It is a different style of playing regardless, but the bugs happen within the transitional phases from one mode to the next. I have the virtual reality version ready to go at the mansion, but you've gotta do what the assignment's first priority is. Gaining co-workers."

The last scene of this first special was where I was telling Iori about some improvements to the train route and how they could be equally effective in the waking world. My main suggestion was to have the trains run to the airport and have a station just nearby. This way, those who wish to travel solo and are able to, can without having to worry about too much cost. Cabs and shuttles are pricey, which can cut into any vacation. This added cost prevents many from even going on a vacation. One issue with travel is costs. The other is security. If when getting a passport, for instance, you have a criminal record, you won't be getting one until that record is clear. Secondly, with metallic objects, they must be placed in the big suitcase. The suitcases for one person must be one large one on wheels where the main stuff including liquid type objects (shampoo, perfume, etc) and metallic object (scissors, razor blades, nail kits, weapons) will be stored. Oh, and if one is planning on bringing a weapon, they must show a permit prior to stowing it. Hunters that shoot deer and rare animals for food is something of an example.

It was a conversation like this that had Iori and I talking until we were ready for part 2 of this assignment.

Part 2 of the assignment was the second of the back to back episodes. In the first bit of this new game was you had to select a KOF fighter to be able to mimic. There was a small bug with this as some characters could not adapt to the player. Clicking the bug button on my VR Scouter, I sent it to the arcade printer.

In Terry's arcades, in the Summer Mansion, we have "To be tested" games and "Perfected games" in the Virtual Reality corner. Terry has always been a big gamer, and so, it was only fitting that he have those sections added.

The second bug came during the change between the rapid matching phase and the initial fighting phase. Sometimes, you were stuck in the rapid matching, forced to go a second round through, which isn't supposed to happen. Win or lose the matching game, its only once through. If you lose, its game over. Win, and you move onto your opponent. The other thing that was happening is your character would change to someone else's and the player that had that "other" fighter would have a black screen. So a glitch and a virus in that part. I clicked the thumb tack button on my VR scouter and the Skull after that.

The last bug came about when starting a new game after beating it the first time. When you pass the game with the one fighter, you are supposed to have a "wait until others are finished" screen where you get to have a bit of a break. However, that wasn't happening. You were forced to select another fighter right away or it would say "you lost thanks for playing" when that was total BS. So, I clickied the skull icon again.

Once I tried the game to my satisfaction, I was able to make my report. For those who don't know what the VR scouter is, the VR scouter is a device specifically designed to report bugs in a virtual reality game. It would be the next generation to PC gaming on Facebook for instance. On Facebook, it is common to get the "refesh errors" due to either a loss of server issue or a bug in the system. With the VR scouter, which is both a fashion statement and a computer toy to have (its like having a microphone attached, hence a computer toy), the USB cable that's attached would send a coded message, which is then translated to what happened. Continuous happenings of this, like it has to happen 3 times or more will signal the scouter to send a report to the developer via "Bug Buster Mail". "Bug Buster Mail" will be an email/support site specifically accessed to gaming programmers and developers and only they will be able to access it. On this site, the bug reports that come through will be able to be fixed sooner than it does now especially if its common. The VR scouter will automatically know on the fourth "refresh" issue if it was a memory problem, a lagging issue, or a change your style of playing has occurred. On the 4th time through, if all three problems had been fixed, and there is that refresh situation, the VR scouter will say something like "Wait 10 seconds or so, checking for power loss". If in the event of something un-plugging without your knowledge, (happens with loose cables and wired modems) or someone bashed their vehicle into a power box, or a storm is shorting the circuits, the VR scouter would "check for power". If power is lost thanks to the loose cable (takes the scouter 2 seconds to check that, its almost instant), the scouter will say, "Check your cables, be sure they are secured." If power is lost thanks to a storm, the VR scouter will suggest to a special save, which you won't lose any progress on your game thanks to mother nature's fury if you do this special save. If Power is lost due to an idiot outside the area where it happened, the VR scouter may suggest phoning/contacting the Internet Provider, since there may be legal issues involved.

Recently, and this has nothing to do with the adventure really, some idiot ran a stop sign in blizzardy weather and destroyed a power box. Not only was this idiot driving waaaay too fast for the weather conditions, but it caused some interesting wreckage. This here is proof, go slow in rain or snow. If you're an impatient person and there's wet pavement (snow on the roads or its raining out), don't drive ask someone else or take the bus.

Now, to end this adventure, in the end of it, I submitted my bug-reports and now await results from it. I hope you enjoyed the additional ideas of future inventions and a funny RL story.

Until next time...

Me too, granny! That's awful that someone from our own world wanted to overthrow you! I hope Dimples was able to succeed in her mission.

By the way, this episode reminds me of the RP we're doing. That's kind of interesting when you really think about it. I look forward to reading the next one!
