If Roxy knew hangovers (if hangovers had a Facebook page, their status would be 'married'), then this was without a doubt the very worst she had ever had. Being a 'lush' for most of her teen life, the in's and out's of drunkeness, with it's blackouts and slurred speech, had been her call sign almost. 'There's Roxy', she assumed her friends on the 'Net would think when she'd log on, 'she's already set sail with Captain Morgan and she's looking for the lifeboats'.
For a time, Roxy had kicked the habit, it had been hard, it had been rough, but she had her friends with her. During that time, those months spent solving puzzles and working towards the ultimate goal of Sburb... which Roxy didn't know much about. She had been intrigued to play by the prospect of bringing her mother back to life. Though she had seen her mother already (although her mother seemed to be about her own age, fifteen), it wasn't the woman who she thought of as 'mother'. Since that other woman was just a girl.
No mind to that! Roxy still didn't know the full story and was still pulling pieces from Jane and Jake (Dirk she was too embarrassed to even try talking to), but apparently long story short, Jane had attempted to cheat by using a 'juju' from another player from another session of Sburb. This had one undesired affect of TRICKSTER MODE. Before Jane had attempted to cheat, Roxy had felt like she had been pulling teeth and nails from her friends. Jane liked Jake who was also liked by Dirk. Dirk got to Jake first, then Dirk was too clingy with Jake and AUGHDRAMA... Roxy couldn't stand to think about it right now.
Roxy sat up on her quest bed, looking at the whirlpool like symbol of Void painted on the bluish slab of rock. Well, undesired or not, Jane had gotten them to the end game quite quickly. The other undesired affect, a personal one for Roxy, was that while under the facade of cheerfulness in TRICKSTER MODE, Roxy had fallen right off the wagon right into a big bottle of vodka.
The hangover, either payback for trying to cheat or karma for renouncing her sobriety, wasn't the worse thing she'd have to face. It was Dirk. During their time in TRICKSTER MODE, Roxy had (once again) made her romantic feelings for him known. Back on Earth when Roxy had almost been constantly drunk, she had spent much of her time flirting with Dirk. He had been annoyed by this to no ends because of it, along with the fact that Dirk was quite homosexual. On top of that, there was no person who would be any more disappointed in her for falling off the wagon then Dirk, and she just couldn't face it or him yet.
Through half-lidded eyes, Roxy stared at her phone, flipping between the two message windows. Jane had said, 'The whole place was shaking for a moment there.' Roxy tapped out a quick 'wut' but before waiting for a response, she switched to Jake's new message.
'Roxy do you know if jane just felt that rumbling too??' Roxy rolled her eyes. Like herself and Dirk, Jane and Jake's quest bed's were right next to each other's but they were too embarrassed to talk to each other, much like herself and Dirk. So it seemed Jane and Jake were talking to her to feel better about their romantic issues with Dirk while at the same time, Roxy was talking to Jake about her drinking issues and her problems with Dirk, so Roxy figured this teen drama circle was gonna keep looping until they all started talking to each other face to face.
'yea' Roxy sent to Jake just as she began to feel the shaking. Now this was curious. Jake and Jane were on (or in technically) Prospit's moon, while she and Dirk were in Derse's, so what was going on? Everything started to shake. The chains that seemed to hold the entire moon together began to clatter with such noise, Roxy was sure her head would explode. Roxy glanced over at Dirk's quest bed, who seemed to be doing the same, his expression was hidden behind his anime style sunglasses, but before she or he could say anything, everything did explode. Quite literally in fact.
The quest bed activated. When a Sburb player finds their quest bed either on their game planet or inside the moon's of Derse and Prospit, they're required to be killed while on them to ascend to the next level.
God Tier it was called. A God Tiered player of Sburb would have full access to their Aspects powers in the universe that would be born from playing Sburb, but not in this instance. The cascading paradoxical timeline that had led up this wasn't designed to birth a new universe, it was a concentrated effort by a being contained within Sburb to destroy everything. While the being was still contained within the multi-faceted universe being spawned by Sburb, Roxy wasn't.
The Aspect of Void operated differently then many of the others. While they all operated well within the universes they spawned, the Void aspect was meant to represent all that was not in the universes, essentially nothing, which in itself can't exist. So simply, the Void cannot exist where the others are.
For a moment, Roxy knew what had happened. The quest bed, being a game construction was giving her some information as she was, essentially, kicked from the server. Lord English, a monster capable of time travel along the space-time axis's of this universe and the other game universes connected to it, had sent agents under his control to destroy the players in this universe.
Fine and dandy, but the Lord obviously hadn't expected them to reach their quest beds, or that was what Roxy was thinking when the blast of ionized air exploded out from her body, causing a loud boom to shake everything.
Small pieces of Derse's moon, purple hunks of metal and stone no bigger then a human head, fell to the ground over which Roxy floated. The multicolored flames that wreathed her body dissipated quickly dissipated as she glanced around the area.
It was late evening, that was obvious, and she was out in the open somewhere, on a hill. The wind had blown away the smell of burning and was replaced by the scent of trees and water, and... exhaust? Floating just a tad, Roxy wandered down the hill, finding a simple road leading in both directions through the woods.
'Where the huh?' Roxy quietly said to herself as she gently landed on her feet. Dropping to her butt in the grass, Roxy found hse was wearing some new clothing, made of the same material most pajamas are. It also seemed to have came with a hood and some silly mask. Pulling off the mask, Roxy just stared at it. She didn't know what to feel. She didn't know what had happened exactly, she didn't know where she was or where the others were.
She did know she could use a drink.
