A young teen stands in his bedroom. Today, the 23rd of May, is not his birthday, but instead it is the launch date of a game that he has been waiting for, SBURB.

(>PAUL PARTAKA)

Correct! Your name is PAUL PARTAKA , and you stand in your room on the 23rd of May. You actually weren't the first one to hear about a new game for once. Somehow, one of your friends managed to find out first. She acted so weird about it though, saying it was extremely important and that you and your friends absolutely needed to play. However, when you pressed her on it some time afterwards, she hardly remembered why and what you were talking about. Still, from what you have heard, the game is bound to be a blast and you are extremely excited. You have a variety of interests, including but not limited to ANIME, VIDEO GAMES, and FANTASY SERIES'. You consider yourself a very AVID TALKER, and dont have VERY HIGH SELF CONFIDENCE. Your chat handle is compulsiveInformant, and you speak in A very precise but, alike yourself, emotional and dramatic way. Speaking of, your chat program goes off unexpectedly. What will you do?

You stare a the screen for a bit. That was weird, yes today is the big day for the game, but she acts like its a life or death situation. It can't possibly be.. right?

>Contact one of your friends about BM

---compulsiveInformant [CI] began pestering profoundAnalytic [PA] at 4:13 PM---

CI: Hey, PA?
CI: Im kinda worried about BM, she seemed frantic. Have you talked to her today?
PA: Sup bruh.
PA: yeaaa she messaged me some time ago, went on and on about the game you two have been talkin about, like bro i get it its today.
CI: Yeah, same here. She keeps reinforcing its importance like its some life or death situation..
PA: Don't she always do that tho? Overreact a lil?
CI: I guess? I wouldn't call it overreacting, though. She seemed genuinely worried.
PA: well damn, wonder why?
CI: I dont know. I was hoping you'd have an idea as to why??
PA: Well, maybe its because this game is important to her, as it is to you?
CI: Its important to me, sure, but i wouldnt be so frantic if some people werent able to play. She mentioned not everyone was answering..
PA: probs LS or SD. Theyre always away doing their own thing
CI: Maybe.. Though she did get a message from SD right before she left.
CI: Also, have you talked to WI? She was pretty excited about this too
PA: nope havent talked to her, last i heard she was watching a movie. that was a few days ago though pffff.
CI: Hm. Alright, ill talk to you later.
PA: seeya dude.

---compulsiveInformant [CI] ceased pestering profoundAnalytic [PA] at 4:20 PM---

You thought that would make you feel better.. however, it did not. You have this gut-wrenching feeling, that something is gonna go wrong. You have no idea what though, and that makes you feel sick. You decide to take a break, and clear your mind for a bit.

>Be the other person

You are now the other person.

Your name is EMILY BURCH, and honestly? You're high as FUCK right now. You are standing in the middle of your apartment room, with your stuff scattered around you. Your interests include DRAWING, STORYWRITING, ANALYZING PEOPLE, VARIOUS CRAFTS, COTTAGECORE, and VARIOUS INTOXICANTS. According to your friends, you are VERY CHILL and SUPER NICE, but if someone crosses your path you can come off a bit RUDE. You don't tolerate any of that BS. You have two cats, one named VANILLA, the other BANDAID. You highly enjoy ANALYZING the EMOTIONS of your friends and people you know, as they can have a DEEPER MEANING to whats going on inside their subconscious. People really fascinate you. Your chat handle is profoundAnalytic, and you speak in a very laiiiiid back way. sometimes you decide to speak without a fuck for grammar. But then there are sometimes when you care more about grammar and how your messages look. The former tends to happen more when you're intoxicated. What will you do?

>Become a pile of moss

Fuck it. M o s s t i m e.

>Examine artwork.

On the wall behind you, you have various paintings of quotes, whether they be funny or inspirational. You also have paintings of various mythical creatures, such as Mothman. You really admire Mothman's thirst for L I G H T.

>Examine sketchbook

Ah yes, your sketchbook, you flip through the first couple pages, full of sketches and pictures of your OC's, with some comics strewn here and there. Once you get about halfway through though, you close it tight. Very seldom do you let people look at the BACK of your sketchbook. It's private.

You steal a glance at the clock, you got some time to pass before you should expect a message from anyone. How will you spend it?

>Be the other girl

Woah woah slow down, we'll get to her.

>Browse AO3

You open up your tab on AO3 and begin to browse through your various ships and fandoms. You find one that you like, and decide to check the newest works and see if any of the ones you're following have been updated yet. You brose through the- What? Oh, come on don't give me that face. Fine, I won't say the ship. You browse through one of your more... private and controversial... ships. I know, for the sake of privacy, why don't we skip ahead a bit? Boom. It is now 4:27 PM. You have finished browsing AO3 and have just received a message

PA: i will i will dont worry dude.

---blissfulMourning [BM] ceased pestering profoundAnalytic [PA] at 4:31 PM---

You take a moment to run a hand through your hair. Honestly, you don't see what the rush is. You don't even know much about the game. Is it like Minecraft? Roblox? You have no idea. All you know is that its supposedly a 'life changer' according to WI. You would much rather sit here, smoke some weed, and paint some more iconic quotes. However, your friends are passionate about this, and you love your friends. So, for the sake of them, you get out of bed and begin to get ready. Halfway through, you get a message.

She really needs to get her spending priorities straight. You take a few minutes to count what money you do have, making sure that your weed money isnt low, before you get another message
