In my grandma's garage yesterday, I found a first edition of the Fifth Mad Report on Spy vs. Spy. Printed in 1978. I'll start the bidding at $10.
Wish me luck. I'm taking it next quarter.
Don't have enough money rent the Columbia supercomputer. FML.

Describe the plot and opening sequence in as much or little detail as you need.
As you've probably noticed, I've been acting quite different from usual today. This is because I have chosen to start and Alternate Reality Game right here in the Spam Zone. You can find the thread that started it all here: http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?116052-quot-Friends-quot-my-game-begins. Here is the second thread of the game: http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?116084-Gave-up Step Three: http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?116244-I-just-realized-that-I-never-introduced-myself. In this game, you will be given periodic clues which, if you fail to solve or recognize them in a certain amount of time, will yield a warning, usually by visitor message to the holder of the clue. If you still cannot figure out the clues, you will be penalized in some way. The ARG will also span multiple threads and will be split into Steps. Typically, a new thread made by me in "mysterious mode" means a new Step. If you still can't tell, they will all be posted here. Each Step includes its own set of clues which will be distributed randomly among Spam Zone regulars or, on a few occasions, as a single clue public clue in the next Step. This means that everyone who is active in the Spam Zone as this moment is involved. If you wish to not be involved, either PM me or post here. You may also have noticed that my signature and avatar have disappeared, as well as my user title changing from the default "Chaser" that premiums have. All of these are involved in the game, the user title change being your first clue as to what the story is. In this thread, you guys may discuss anything not related to solving the clues. Once the story is more established than it is now, you will be able to discuss theories on how it will go next here. However, I'd like to ask that you keep all discussion of clues in the Step threads.
I've given out five keys to five-how shall I put this...reputable members. Find them. Then, together, solve them. Then comes step two.
Aren't you proud of me? We're going somewhere today, and it's somewhere new. I'm excited. It looks like a hospital, too. I want to be a doctor when I grow up, Mommy. Did I tell you that? I hope you're as excited as I am. I can't wait. ...Mommy, I'm getting scared. Your heart is still beating, but I don't know what you are thinking. The doctor is talking to you. I think something's going to happen soon. I'm really, really, really scared, Mommy. Please tell me you love me. Then I will feel safe again. I love you! Spoiler Mommy, what are they doing to me!? It hurts! Please make them stop! It feels bad! Please, Mommy, please please help me! Make them stop!
Endless fun, I tell you.
Seriously. I may actually buy a print of this. http://kookiekween99.deviantart.com/art/Water-259752485
I was disappointed until I realized that Izaya would probably also be placed there. Possibly also Celty. Ooh boy, I'd like to Slytherin to her.
Hey. What do you say we hang out soon? Just us, for the most part. Well then? Hmm? Place, and time? You pick. It was my idea after all. So tell me something: How exactly do you feel about me? Do you think I'm a friend? Do you want me to be a friend? Should we try...you know, us, out? Would it even work? I mean hey, we're both lonely. And you know that I'm in love with you. So, should we try? Should we risk everything between us? Actually, no. I'm being stupid. We're friends. Neither of us will ever truly want more than that. I mean, we're both healthy young teenagers. It's only natural that we'd go through those phases. So if the question is if I'm lying to myself, I don't think I am. After all, we've been closer than ever lately, in both senses of the word. And no matter how fast my heart was beating... No matter how red my face got... No matter how filled with love your eyes seem to be when you look at me... I always keep my hands to myself. I never move in to kiss you. But maybe it's just because I'm a wimp. You know how I feel and what I want for us. And so I just sit there. Waiting for you to make the first move. And I know you won't. We're both too shy to act on our feelings. After all, I was shaking more than the San Francisco fault line when I wrote that letter. And I was even more nervous giving it to you. And still more nervous at the thought that you might be reading it as soon I left the room. And then you brought it up later that night. I still remember your exact words. “Even though it's all on the table now, we're still friends.†Even now you still have no idea how much that meant to me. My heart skipped a beat. Figuratively of course. I'm serious when I say that one weekend was the most important in my life. Well, anyway. Think about it, alright? If we don't finish that movie soon, we'll forget that we started it. And then you'll never get to see the end. And sorry about going on that...rant? No, that's not quite right. I don't know what to call it. So just... Well... Night. Wait. Actually, there was one other thing. I still can't say it to you in person, but this is close enough for now. I love you. I'm slowly working up to it. Telling you to your face. First in that letter, and now in real time. Maybe soon I'll work up the nerve to actually tell you. Good night. For real this time. Maybe I should just make one thread for all my stuff? I've been doing a lot lately.
These chicken nuggets are going to be delicious.

No, seriously.
As expected, she loved it. Discuss.

Post the first full sentence you hear. We've got a busy week.
Find it a week later. Notice that I posted three times. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF By the way, this is it. http://kookiekween99.deviantart.com/art/Alphabet-Beads-Brush-Set-256828351 Goddamn, she's talented.
I told you, and that's all that matters. I don't expect you to make a decision right away. As long as you know what I did, real or not, I'm happy. You have the right to know. I even went out of my way to keep it from you. But in the end, I couldn't keep it in. I sat there, in my chair, covered in the blanket you sat on just hours before. And I was trembling. I was terrified. I'm still getting a chill down my spine. My hands tremble even as I type this. The amount of typos that I have to fix is enormous. I wanted you to know, but it didn't feel right. But you had to know. I promised myself there would be no more secrets between us. But I was ashamed of what I did in that world. So I flipped a coin. Heads, I kept it a secret. Tails, I told you. You should know what fell. You, I assume, didn't know what to say. You sat there on your couch, staring at the screen. You were too shocked. And I apologized because I thought you might be. And now you know. (G.I. Joe) So sleep on it. It's all I can expect from you. I'll be waiting. You already know how I feel. It's your job to decide how you feel. Just know one thing. What happened in that world of dreams, it meant the world to me. It made that entire day. Those few moments, which were probably less than a half second in real time were the best in my life. Five days ago, I kissed you in a dream. Three days ago, I told you about that dream. Six hours ago you read about the whole thing. Thirty minutes ago, I told you what I left out. Fifteen minutes ago you asked me if it was open mouth. Fourteen minutes and thirty seconds ago I admitted that I didn't know. Five minutes ago, I was inspired to write this. In fifteen seconds, I'll be done. Good night. | | | | | | | | | | | Not exactly lyrics, but it felt like it fit better here than in Original Work. I felt extremely inspired by something that really did just happen, and this is a description of those events. I hope you liked it.
