The Missing Constellation

Id like to call Hazel, if I could

Kal:

You think to yourself, "This was a bad idea," and return indoors and remove the steel armor, you decide you might be here for a while so you ring up Vivian.

"Um, hello? Oh, hi Kal. What's up?"
>
Riley:

The dial makes several tones before Hazel finally picks up. "Corona, you actually called. And before you say anything let me guess. You typed in your code and got sent to an alternate world based on a thematic concept, got attacked, discovered the power of your instrument and now are trying to catch up with the others? Am I in the ballpark? Because the same shit happened to me."
>

Tooltip: Violence isn't always the answer.

I climb down and head to the town with AR(I think that's the robots name, right?).

I would also like to call up/text Sheena on the way and say sorry for hanging up on her.

Vahn:

AR travels alongside you as you take out your phone and call Sheena using your Seape app.
"Sheena, I'm sorry I hung up on you earlier I uh... Actually, I don't really have an excuse. I'm kind of an idiot if you already couldn't tell."

Code:

Sheena: It's okay Vahn. I forgive you, at least you're honest. What's on your mind?

>

Kal:

"Oh... well, Hazel told me to type in my code into the Seape bar and now I'm stranded in this... dark place, I'm not too sure. I should've figured she'd pull a stunt like this. I really don't know where I am right now."
>

Kal:

"I heard a voice too when I got here. It was... threatening but somehow familiar. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. I'm sorry. I need to log off now."
Vivian has disconnected.
>

Let's check for a vendor of some kind once I get into town.. Maybe there's something useful or some info. While walking I continue talking to Sheena.

"So where are you? Are you okay?"

Vahn:

Code:

Sheena: Well, Tiri told me she typed in her code and it brought her into another world. So I asked her for her code to go in after her. I'm trying to find her right now, but I think I'm at some sort of... circus carnival. It's really weird.

AR then points ahead to the town. "We're just about there," He informs you.

Code:

Sheena: Who was that?

>

Kal:

You continue venturing outward for a long time and spot a small settlement camp. You're starting to get rather hungry, maybe there are some people here that can help you.

>

That's about it. How you doing in your world doll? What's it like.

Excuse the slow posts, in Vegas on my phone.

"Wait, you used someone else's code? Well give me your code....Or um....Sheena's code. I'll try it in a minute. And that's AR. He's a robot...."

I get into town and BUY FROM A VENDOR if I can find one.

Vahn:

Code:

Sheena: Sheena's code? You mean my code? Well, I never really got my phone, I just used Tiri's. I don't think using another code after you're transported works. I've tried, and something is apparently jamming the signals. Honestly, I'm surprised we're all maintaining our composure to this phenomenon. Who would have thought this type of technology was possible? It's a breakthrough! And at the same time... these phones must have been distributed by someone who intentionally put these codes here for us to discover. But why? And, it's cool you found a robot, must be nice. It would certainly beat being around these... clowns... that seem to just stand and stare in this place. It's kind of scaring me. And as always, Tiri is oblivious as ever. She's having way too much fun on the carousel right now, I'm not sure if it's even stable.

Spoiler:

You arrive in the town and see a building labeled "Wares." This... might be it?

>
Kal:

Spoiler:

You enter the settlement and see a campfire going on with busy people setting up barricades and various structures. A middle-aged man with a large beard approaches you.
"Who are you stranger, and why have you come here?"
Suddenly your phone buzzes, signifying an incoming call.

>
Riley:
"It's pretty bitchin'. Lights, casinos, and festivals as far as the eye can see. I'd think you'd enjoy a place like this as well. I totally tricked Vivian into entering the code Z3R0H31M and got her in probably one of the worst places possible! Ha ha! But yeah, once you're in a world, you can't leave until you've destroyed the jamming source of the codes... or something like that. At least that's what Izzy told me. Not that I'd wanna leave anytime soon anyway. Where are you, if you'd be so kind to tell?"

>

I enter the shop. "Oh okay....So you're scared of clowns, huh? Make sure Tiri doesn't get hurt. You're probably more capable than her in dangerous conditions."

Vahn:

Code:

Sheena: I'll be careful. I hope you're careful of taking care of yourself as well. I really wonder if you do keep up sometimes... I don't mean that as an insult.

You enter the shop and a clerk greets you.

"Welcome, welcome. We got various oddities and sorts here. Look around won'tcha? If you got the slugs, we got the plugs... you do have money right?"
>

Kal:

You answer the phone while rudely ignoring the man in the settlement. The call is from the voice you heard before.

Antagonist Profile Unlocked: Grant

Spoiler:

"You've made it to the camp, congratulazioni! If you're wondering who I am, I am the charming voice you have heard as you stepped into my domain, you may call me Grant. Che vergogna, for you see... now I have to kill you. And although it will be as easy for me as taking confetto from a bambino, I will give you a little grace period like the kind signore that I am. I will give you time to prepare for when we meet, and when the time is up... well... Spero che tu sia in pace con Dio."
>

"Okay, well I've got to go Sheena. Bye."

"Yeah I got money. Whacha offerin?" I look at what he's got in stock.

Vahn:

"I got paintings, I got machinery parts, I got tools, jewelry, and I even got this little doodad that fell outta the sky, don't know what it does. Anyway, you want anything?"

>
Kal:

"By all means amico, prenditi il ​​tuo tempo. Enjoy your last hours of existence."

The bearded man answers your question. "This is a place we'd just settled for all the people that survived the impact of the last war. Strange creatures have been around killing folks, and we're trying to restart civilization. You don't look like you're around here judging by your clothes. So I will ask you again. Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
>

I'll buy a painting and the doodad that fell out of the sky. I'll sell the painting somewhere where more wealthy people are or something lol.

Vahn:

You grin shamelessly as you place your dollar bills on the counter. The shopkeeper reacts with the most skeptical expression.

"What the hell is this? You can't buy things with paper, are you mad?! I said you needed SLUGS! Don't tell me you don't know what slugs are! Y'know, the gold spheres that everyone uses to exchange for goods and services? Who do you think you are... trying to pay with paper. Pfft."

>
Kal:

"Slow down, son. I'll explain. First of all, all of our phone lines are down, so I don't even know how you even have service out here with that phone of yours. I ain't ever heard of anyone named Grant in this settlement, and I know everyone here. As for the war... well... let's just say things get crazy when the newly elected president declares war against the world. This frozen wasteland and those mutant creatures are a result of an atomic nuke that hit us a long time ago. Luckily, some of had really good underground shelters. You're welcome to stay if you want, we got food and traders all around ya."
