It is March 3rd, a quiet, relatively unremarkable day in a rather uneventful year. A new game, SBURB, has been launched. It's still only a beta, but hey. Who can pass up a game like that? On seperate corners of the globe, four friends will soon begin a journey... just where it will take them... who can say? --------- We begin our adventure in a small house on the outskirts of London, where a young boy lives, sans chaperone. He exists on a monthly allowance given by his father and mother, both of whom are on a business trip in some remote corner of the world. --------- Your name is Zach. You are a quiet boy, 17 years of age. Today is rather unremarkable to you, but on the plus side, a new GAME should be delivered to your house at some point in the near future. You have a variety of INTERESTS, most of which center around the PARANORMAL, ESOTERIC, AND ARCANE. you have recently taken up TAROT READING, and SEWING, though you are not terribly good at either. You have wasted enough time lying in bed. What will you do?

You are absolutely shocked at the completely ridiculous notion that just crossed your mind. You would NEVER, NEVER, NEVER in a million years consider doing something that ridiculously stupid. ...Well... maybe just a taste. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?

Oh, crap! You realize that, for the duration of your semi-psychotic rant, your good friend Cayley has been trying to Pester you. Yeah... she's not going to be happy. You should probably answer her...

MN: ZACH GET YOUR LIVING-IN-LONDON BUTT ON THIS COMPUTER RIGHT NOW. MN: I bring urgent news from the outside world! HA: Sorry, sorry! I'm here. HA: What's this news? MN: The beta. The one Brittany's bugging us about. I got it. MN: Well, half of it. HA: Oh. Nifty. I'm still waiting on mine. DAMN YOU ENGLISH POSTAL SYSTEM! D:< HA: Half? MN: I got the server part of it, not the part where I can actually play the stupid game. HA: Bluh. That sucks. >< MN: Honestly, if I wanted to play a game where I screw with suburban houses, I'd play the Sims. HA: Yeah... but I figure we'll play it for a while, please Brittany, then leave it for good and never think on it again. >< MN: That's what I do with most online games. HA: Heh... yeah. >< Who has time for them anyway? MN: The people that are nerds the way nerds are to regular people. HA: Oh? That was the doorbell! The post is here! DAMMIT. I mean the mail. The mail is here. HA: Anyway, I'll get back to you in a bit, okay? MN: Ugh, fine. Leave me here.
-MongooseNation ceased pestering HowlingArcana-
------ You should probably go and get that mail now...

You sigh. The mail probably won't disappear anytime soon. You walk across your room slowly, leisurely taking in the sights. Your room is grey, with red curtains and bedsheets. There are WOLF PLUSHIES everywhere, and they are freakin' adorable. You don't care what anyone says. There is a deck of TAROT CARDS strewn across the floor, and a variety of SEWING SUPPLIES on your dresser. For some reason, you've left your BLACK MESSENGER BAG in front of your door. It's kinda blocking your way.

You look around, making sure that nobody is watching, then perform a mad dash for the door, jumping over your messenger bag, and kicking it out of the way before falling face first into the door. That was probably not the smartest thing in the world to do.
