Author's Note:
Here it is, Plargo II up to the current update. Not much has happened, so you can jump right in and start suggesting. I try to update every day, but I might skip some days because of life.
If that happenes, I will either warn in advance, or explain what happened in the following update.
Enjoy and don't be afraid to give 'interesting' commands.
(Commands will be taken from both MSPA Forums and Hivestuck, perhaps diverging in the future)
You enter your room after a hard day at work. Man, they just couldn't get anyone else to do anything other than you. Lazy pigs.
Anyways, you handled all of the little jobs around the house that you had to do, including eating dinner. Now you sit down in front of your computer and hope to relax with some gaming.
You check your favorite website to find that a apparent sequel has been released from a game you played so very long ago.
Plargo II: Dawn of Time
The title is just so fancy you cannot keep yourself from buying it for the low low price of only a few dollars. Maybe it should worry you that the game might not be so great, as the price point warns of, but you don't entirely care.
Once you confirm the purchase and download the game, you double-click the start icon.
A window appears.

A elegant looking main menu screen pops up with a few different choices on it. However, before you have a chance to move your mouse to one of them, a smaller pop up appears.
"New User Detected: Would you like to play through the tutorial mission?"
>Yes
>No
What do you do?
> Reminisce on the old Plargo. You've got to admit that the ending was awesome.
Ah yes, the first game in the duo. It was quite well made for what it was, but the writing did leave a bit to be desired.
The ending was quite amazing, with that dimension shattering reveal that made you think.
> No. You're too good for tutorials.
> Yes. Do it. Learn the thing. OR YOU'LL REGRET IT (probably)!
Inside your mind you feel torn between doing the tutorial or not. Was this game similar to the first? Or were there wondrous new systems in play that your mind couldn't even fathom?
Also you start to question why your own mind seems to have multiple voices floating about, but you quickly shake that silly thought off.
But still, would you do the tutorial? You decide to flip a coin.
The coin flies through the air and hits your wall, landing upon it's final judgement.
...
Well, it seems to be that it decides that you will go through the tutorial.
You click the '>Yes'
"Initiating Tutorial."
The screen goes pitch black. Then comes to a scene playing out right in front of your eyes.
A purple being who looks to be half man and half dragon stands in front of a dark doorway, dressed in a wizard robe and pointed hat. In his claws you notice that he carries a glowing, magical orb and a spellbook.
Another, smaller window appears next to the game view. It looks to be a simplistic chat client. Messages begin to appear on the feed:
"Hello there, Player! I am Z, the magical tutorial AI that will guide you through the chaos that is Plargo II."
"To begin, you can put a command in the chat box headed by the symbol '>' to make the current character do something. Try it now!"
> ∑ø®ß˙ˆπ*π刘
You try to type the symbols into the text box, but it seems to you that your keyboard doesn't have dedicated keys for all of them, plus you don't know the Alt-Codes.
> Look over quest log to see what you're suppose to be doing.
You type in the command and the game view opens up.
The screen looks to be of a nice curvy handwriting on a large piece of parchment. It has but one quest:
[Urgent!] Confront Plargo.
Another message appears on the feed.
"Oh, it seems like this character is on to the end of the run."
"Sad, he looked to be pretty cool."
"And not just because he is a dragonborn."
> Summon beast with spellbook.
The purple dragonborn opens his spellbook and speaks an incantation in another language entirely.
Moments later, a dire wolf the size of your character appears next to him. It snarls towards the darkness.
But from the dark entrance comes a mighty, intimidating voice. "Come to me, young Kestrel. You have traveled a long and sad path. Come and make your final decision."
The feed pops up once more.
"It looks like you now have an additional member of your party."
"You can command everyone in your party, but to a little less than full control."
"Just place their name in front of the command symbol and tell them something to do!"
"Try '> Giant Wolfy Thing: yadda yadda yadda' for an example."
>Dragonborn: Enter the darkness.
>Dire Wolf: Protect your master.
Kestrel and his summoned creature cautiously walks into the dark threshold, coming into a large chamber with a twisted & gnarled throne made from the darkest, bleakest deathwood tree possible.
In the throne sits a skeletal lich clad in obsidian armor. He holds two mystical orbs that glow with supernatural power. All around the edges of the room are floating portals looking into many different worlds.
"You come to my crypt to end my suffering?"
>Tell him yes, you are an interior decorator and are going to spruce up this place.
"I am Kestrel, interior decorator extraordinaire and I have come to end your pathetic design choices."
Your character, Kestrel, steps forwards to get a better look at the enemy. The summoned wolf does so as well, looking as intimidating as possible.
"Welcome Kestrel, to my domain. I am Plargo, the lord-lich you see before yourself today."
Plargo sits up in his dark throne, looking down on you with bright and wispy eyes sockets.
"You do not appear to be much of a designer. Must be one of those dragonians from the Tempest. Laughable."
> Behead him and seize his power. Become the lich. Wait, no, that's dumb. Ask him what's up and why he's "suffering".
Kestrel thinks to himself about how easy it would be to behead him and gain control of his magical might.
He then realizes how stupid that sounds and proceeds to continue conversation.
"You said you were suffering. To me, it seems quite evident that you are enjoying yourself greatly by destroying the surface world."
A ghostly groan comes from all around.
"My entire unlife I have been trapped here, giving power to these gateways. I never wanted to be a lich, but I was forced to become one. The effects you see above are of my supernatural decomposition."
The feed in the other window becomes active again.
"On the surface world, there have been all kinds of catastrophes lately."
"Magical and Mundane, they just kept happening."
"Sometimes even simultaneously."
> Establish superiority by punching the lord-lich plargo in the face
You fantasize about showing Plargo your rowdy, no-nonsense brand of ruffianism. The you quickly realize that, due to his un-life choices, he has no nose.
> Question further how you can end his suffering, thus ending the decomposition and the chaos above
"How can we end your suffering, saving the above world as well?" Kestrel asks.
Plargo slowly gets up from his throne, making the dire wolf go into a threatening stance. "The only possible way for me to end this, is for someone to come by and destroy me. Tell me, are you up to the task?"
Here it is, Plargo II up to the current update. Not much has happened, so you can jump right in and start suggesting. I try to update every day, but I might skip some days because of life.
