A young man sits alone in his room. It just so happens that today the 21 of July is this boy's thirteenth birthday. Though it was thirteen years ago that this boy was given life, it is only today that he shall receive a name.

What is this young man's name?

Gardengrass Smartypants. Very funny, Jackass! Try again!

Sage Bishop. Correct!

Your name is Sage Bishop. You have a variety of interests, such as making and solving puzzles, quizzing yourself and your acquaintances on random facts, and questioning every and all of your life choices. You are currently waiting for your copy of an important game to arrive so that you can play this game with your acquaintances, though some of them constantly demand to be called your friends. Oh, it looks like one of them is pestering you now.

Sage: Answer Acquaintance

--corruptCessation [CC] began pestering tetrisArchitect [TA]--

CC: hello

TA: Hello CC, How are you?

CC: as good as ive always been which is to say not at all

TA: Oh dear. I am sorry to hear that.

TA: Anyway, might I ask why you are pestering me today?

CC: i was wondering if you had gotten your copy of the game yet

TA: No, I have not. I still am questioning how you plan to get it to me.

CC: relax ta its going to get there

TA: You keep saying that, and yet I doubt you. If my memory serves me right, which it usually does, you have said this no less than twenty times since you have announced to the group that you are making this game.

TA: How am I to know if you are truly making this game?

CC: because it is being delivered to you today

TA: Really?

CC: really

CC: oh no

TA: What is it?

CC: there is a problem that im afraid must be taken care of

CC: now

TA: Wait, but CC,  what is it?

 --corruptCessation [CC] has ceased pestering tetrisArchitect [TA]--

What is wrong with her? After the accident a while back, she has been acting very strange. It was almost unsettling how strange she was the first time she messaged you after the accident. You don't like to think back on that memory.

Anyway, you are very curious about if CC was telling the truth about the game arriving today. You have been looking forward to it for a very long while now, and with it coming, you can finally get your acquaintances off your back.

But now that CC is going to be busy for a while, what shall you do?

Sage: Check your Mailbox

What an absurd thought! You don't have a mailbox to check, and besides, if you wanted to check for the game, you would check your computer! CC made the game on one so, of course, they would send it to you over one. Why would you think of something so vapid!

Sage: Go converse with your Guardian

Once again you are thinking brainlessly! Your guardian is not here at the moment, they are out getting food for you and themselves. You can't converse with them if they are out. Besides talking with them equates to screeching at each other.
