Taipansprite: Watch.

[paradoxsprites]

There appears to be a new "visitor" outside the hive situated on LOGAF.



It's quite, quite large.

It doesn't seem inclined to move yet, but one can't be too sure. At the moment its gaze is fixed upon the young troll sitting in front of it, STAFF laid across his lap as he talks to it.

You'd felt like it had been something of a miracle when you had stumbled across the previous Space player's sprite while exploring her hive, following nothing but your "good vibes". More than anything though, its presence alone had surprised you a great deal, considering this session's players had apparently completely lost track of it. It's not like anyone in your session had lost theirs. Not that you know of at least.

You admit, now, that there's something intimidating about staring up at its massive bulk - you didn't even know sprites could be this big - but you keep calm. Can sprites even eat players? It's probably best not to test that theory.

let me get this straight, mate
there's nothing we can do?
not to question the almighty know-it-all-ness of sprites
b u t

[paradoxsprites]

but but nothing.
did none of You go learn the lore of the land?

[advance_us_fair]

the little buggers aren't exactly the most social
if you hadn't noticed

[paradoxsprites]

rubbish.
You shouldn't be here.

[advance_us_fair]

you don't say
oh wait you have
i'm noticing you like to repeat yourself a lot, mate
got anything USEFUL?

[paradoxsprites]

You elbow Ridian lightly in the side and shoot him a brief look before turning back to the sprite.

all i'm saying is
it's not like we planned on replacing her

[paradoxsprites]

...
Yes.
i know.

[paradoxsprites]

Stare ...

i did not saY that i wouldn't help.
i am perhaps dismaYed at the progress made in my absence.
i had thought the consorts would be more forthright with their lore
at least with plaYers who originated from this session.

[advance_us_fair]

so what was that about us being able to do bugger all?

[flirtkind.livejournal.com]

[paradoxsprites]

of that, i can't be certain.
that requires more intimate knowledge about paradox space itself than i am able to provide.
however, it appears that some of the idoisYncraies of the game have changed somewhat due to the unique approach that has been taken.

[advance_us_fair]

s o ?

[flirtkind.livejournal.com]

[paradoxsprites]

i don't know.
what i can tell You is that You won't be able to find the frogs.
not right now.

[advance_us_fair]

... the fuck is that supposed to mean
this is the frog planet, it should be full of them

[paradoxsprites]

You said you couldn't find them.
how long has it been?

You shift a little closer and place a hand on his shoulder, watching him with veiled concern from the corner of your eye.

[paradoxsprites]

Meanwhile, the snake watches impassively as always.

mY suggestion is to start on the other planets.
the lore is all tied together.
the game encourages teamwork at times.
