Joenst's home was hollowed out of an old cavern into a much large, multi-room hive for him. He lives just outside of the city in the OUTERLANDS, inside of a extremely large-sized rock that delves deep underground. He can often be found in an area he's designated as a mine, attacking the rocks to get at the mineral loot it hides. The main room holds only a SIGIL OF BAPHOMET on the ground and, aside from a few chairs and a couch, is very empty. The only two other rooms are the kitchen and the bedroom, and are adequate for him. A tunnel has been made by him in the kitchen, leading to a tunnel that leads on for around a kilometre or two. His bedroom holds his bed, a chair and table and his computer. His kitchen contains everything he needs to make food and sacrifices. --- Joenst sighs as he accessed his computer. Looks like he'd been seen whilst retrieving his much-needed chemicals...

Accursed lusus of yours, you can hear him at your door. Sighing, you move to the kitchen and grab some meat, being careful not to captchalogue it. Not that you've tried.

Ah, there's the chumhandle. You must thank the dark ones later as they commune with you. You access your computer and talk to him.
AS: Hello human boy. HS: Who the heck are you? AS: My name is Joenst. A pleasure to meet you. HS: Nice to meet you to. AS: Might I inquire as to your name? HS: The names John, John Wholock. AS: Hm. A very interesting name. It seems as if they were correct in their choice... HS: I have a question. AS: Go on. HS: Are you a friend of the other person I was talking to about this game called Sburb? AS: I'm unsure. What was his Tr- Sorry, chumhandle. AS: Or Trolltag. HS: thetowersRaven
For Satan's sake, Mr Raven. Why were you first?
AS: Ah yes, him. I'm surprised. AS: He knew of you before the dark ones mentioned you. HS: Who are the Dark ones? AS: They are beings who I believe are connect to our Lord, Satan. AS: Connected, sorry. AS: Blasted Lusus is being loud. HS: What about him being loud? AS: I'm unsure as to why. He's just roaring at something. Who knows who. HS: I would check. HS: As my sister or 'Lusus' says, Anything can Happen AS: Perhaps I will in a few. But for now, we're digressing. HS: Okay. AS: I see our raven has beaten you to the game mentioning. AS: So, I would recommend you obtain. AS: it. AS: Bluh. HS: Yes, it's in download right now. HS: She said she can invite you to the session when it's finished. AS: She? You mean your sister? HS: No, the other person. AS: The other person? Who is she? HS: it seemed like a she when I talked to them. HS: Your friend, the raven AS: Ah. AS: I believe our raven friend is a male. AS: Considering I've already been to his hive. HS: Dang... I'm not good with online determination.. HS: Whatever. AS: It's of no matter right now. AS: Seeing as I'll be connecting to Raven, you must connect to me. HS: Yea. AS: And therefore, a friend of yours must connect to you. HS: It seems so. HS: Yea... I'll have to connect to them later.
Ah, two names. Thank you, dark ones.
AS: I believe you have two choices - Zach or another John. AS: Really, another John? AS: You silly humans.... HS: It looks like my game is finished downloading. AS: Very good. Be warned, once you begin there is no turning back. HS: What do you mean? HS: It's just a game, right? AS: You'll learn in due course. HS: Okay. AS: Seeing as you've already downloaded. AS: Mine has finished also, so I do suppose we can connect whenever we desire. HS: We can, just got to find that one guy that contacted me as a kid. HS: He told me about the game before release. AS: Hmm. AS: Well, I wish you luck with that. HS: Thank you. AS: For now, I'd best be getting to looking at my lusus.
Oh. This new information they'd told you seemed important.
AS: OH, and also... HS: Yea? AS: You'll have 15, 34 minutes and approximately 54 seconds, according to your time management, before impact. AS: 15 hours, sorry. AS: Good luck. HS: What? HS: Okay.
Ending the conversation, you immediately endeavour to contact Raven...
