> Put Crystal on Totem lathe_
-------------------------------
Nero grabs the bright blue dowel from the Alchemiter's pedestal, running over towards the Totem Lathe as he locks it in place, nearly fumbling the cruxite.
Running back to where bS deployed it he grabs the prepunched card and fits it into the slot, and pushes the button.
A set of chisels.
A small whirr.
A new totem.
All during this, he failed to notice the messege that bS had sent him
bS: Get another crystal! Not that one!
He ran back to the alchemiter, scooping up his laptop as he set the totem down and pressed the button. The platform's antenna extending as it sent a laser to read the information the totem had been carved with.
A poof of smoke and...!
cT: There!
cT: ...
cT: Wha...
cT: What the fuck is this?
cT: Is that... A box? Again? Nrrrrgh.
cT: Oh whatever.
Ah, the pinging of pesterchum distracted him.
bS: Just trash that one, get a new one from the Cruxtruder
bS: Then do it again
And back to the Cruxtruder he nervously extracted another dowel of cruxite. Glancing at he timer briefly as he ran towards the Totem Lathe once more.

"Gotta hurry!"-------------------------------
> Alchemize once more!_
-------------------------------
He repeated the process once more this time a large cyan cabinet springing up on the platform as it opened and a violin and bow fell to the floor with a clack and clatter of sounds from it's strings.
cT: Uh there.
cT: Whoa that looks funny.
cT: Uh...
cT: There!
cT: Is that... A violin?
cT: What the fuck am I supposed to do with a Violin?!
cT: bS!
cT: What am I supposed to do with this!?
bS: A...Violin?
bS: Uh...Play it?
-------------------------------
> Play_
-------------------------------
And so he hesitantly picked up the items and pulled the bow across the strings.
...
Ah.
...
Hm.
...
Argh!
-------------------------------
> Stop. Just... Stop._
-------------------------------
Nero complies and goes back to messeging.
cT: Gog I suck at this.
cT: Shiiiiiiit.
cT: bS!
cT: You can play the Violin right?
cT: Tips!
cT: Now!
bS: Stop, just stop
cT: Common! I have 3 and a half minutes to learn how to play the violin before whatever it's counting down to probably kills me!
bS: I take this Wolf Plushie and forever discard it into oblivion!
cT: What?
cT: What are you doing to Cou?
Nero only watched as the wolf plushie that tT sent him for his birthday was raised up into the air and flung mercilessly into the seizure kernel.
A bright flash of light.
And suddenly a wolf head had replaced the spirograph in the middle of the seizure ball.
He began typing furiously.
cT: Shit!
cT: What the fuck'd you do?!
cT: Oh man... tT's gonna be pissed if he finds out what happened to that thing.
cT: It was a birthday gift and you throw it into the Seizure ball!
cT: AUGH.
bS: Duuude
bS: Lookat it now
cT: Shiiiiiiiit!
bS: Its all...Wolfy
cT: YOU'RE NO HELP!
cT: Shit shit shit
cT: 2 Minutes.
bS: Im all out of ideas...
cT: Don't outta idea me!
cT: Teach me the basics!
bS: That toss was a last-ditch-effort
cT: My life's probably at stake here!
cT: ... What's... What's that sound?
cT: My windows are flashing.
bS: You should...probably look outside...
And so he did.
A blazing hunk of space rock was headed right this way. Yet, what did he do in this moment of panic? He ran back to the computer.
cT: OHGOGI'MGONNADIEVIAMETEOR!0:44
Oops. Wrong person, let's type that again to bS this time.
-------------------------------
> Cease your tomfoolery! NOW!_
-------------------------------
cT: Shit!
cT: bS!
cT: Where's the camera!?
0:31
He grabbed the sky colored violin once more, staring at it as he awaited a reply.
bS: To your right, why?
cT: Well. Since I'm gonna die.
-------------------------------
> What are you planning?_
-------------------------------
0:27
Nero gripped the violin with such a tight grip his hands paled.
cT: FUCK YOU JACKASS!0:14
He pulled away from his laptop.
0:08
Raising his arms...
0:04
...
0:03
The windows were flashing right about now, a loud roar drowning out everything else.
0:02
It was now or never.
0:01
He swung.
