First, there was nothing.
Just text, on a forum wall.
But that was boring,
So some huge asshole was all like:
">Begin SWATCHQUEST".
And that's exactly what happened.
This is the prophecy foretold by that same huge asshole from exactly 10 minutes ago when they opened up FireAlpaca and turned of anti-aliasing,
A prophecy that predicted what was to come in the next like. 30 seconds from now.
>Begin SWATCHQUEST.
Welcome to SWATCHQUEST! The name is pretty misleading, you aren't questing to anywhere.
But you could.
Let's examine your OVERLAY.
First up is the PAINT button. In here is your PAINT SWATCH and handy BRUSH. You can draw whatever you want.
Next are your TOOLS. You've got lots of them. Want something to be sentient and feeling? Use the SENTIZER. Want something to carry out a specific task? Forever? Use the PROGRAMIZER. And, so on and so fourth.
Finally, the NODES button. This, of course, lets you see all your NODES. These add prefixes to your TOOLS, making them carry out a different action. Like, for example, a DE-SENTIZER. Or an EX-PROGRAMIZER.
If you want more in depth looks at any of these, just ask!
Of course, if you don't feel like programming, say, a door to lead you on an epic quest, you can always just leave it up to fate and have the Huge Asshole from the prophecy decide for you.
This is not another trilogy, it's just another story.
>micro-sentize the apple
You MICRO-SENTIZE the apple.
It immediately starts to drift around aimlessly in the air and grow facial features.
Well, you can say goodbye to eating that sucker now. While it probably wouldn't object, it seems happy, and you'd feel awful for ending that.
This is not another trilogy, it's just another story.
> Attach the MACRO- node to the Sentizer and use it on yourself
"OH NO! NOT THE LAZERS AND THE SPIKES!" "Oh, you know the drill." "OH NO! NOT THE DRILL!"
"The government is BEES!"
"My brother has a brother."
"BUZZZZZZZZ asterisk"
"The sun is a deadly razor." "Oh yeah? Well, what does it do?" "It shaves your head off."
>Attach the MACRO- node to the Sentizer and use it on yourself
Considering you were already pretty sentient to begin with, it doesn't do a whole lot.
All that's happened now is you are now acutely aware of the second-person narrator constantly changing voices and dictation, which is seemingly in control of your every move.
You begin to pity the person you were 30 seconds ago, because in all honesty, you think this is pretty damn strange.
You can feel the existentialistic dread of the situation creeping into the peripherals of your mind for a moment, but as with any dread of the existential variety, you choose to ignore it for now. If you don't think about it, it can't hurt you.
This is not another trilogy, it's just another story.
