[B][Enter the Speedrunner!][/B]
A blue portal appears just outside the tavern, from which a robot walks out. He looks around himself, taking in his surroundings.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]"Hellooooo, world!"[/COLOR]
He's smiling. Well, being a robot, he can't actually smile, so instead a pixellated grin is being displayed on his helmet.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]"Wow, it's just like in all the videogames! Makes me wonder where the other Challenge Runners are... eh, I'm sure they're having as much fun as I am."[/COLOR]
He feels a little disoriented from being on an entirely different planet, so he checks his settings and runs his diagnostics.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]"Alright, let's see here. Designation: T45-B07. Username: TASBot. Internet: No Internet. That's problematic."[/COLOR]
Now for readings. [COLOR="#0000FF"]"Health: 100/100. Level: 2. (Sigh...) Built up speed: 2000%. That's a good 10 seconds of speedrunning. Have I still got my pistol? Yep. 50 rounds in there, the coolant tank's full, and one knife attached."[/COLOR]
TASBot flips his gun to Coolant Mode and applies a little ice spray to himself. It's much warmer here than on his home planet. He makes a mental note to scan and replicate a watercooling system when he gets the skill points to do so.
Speaking of mental notes...
[COLOR="#0000FF"]"Are all my apps still there? Let's see: Notes, Music, Movies, SPEEDCORE, Snes9x, Script Runner, and, of course, Twitch. That's everything!"[/COLOR]
Finally, he looks down at himself. From what he can tell, he looks as good as ever. He looks at his hands and arms, blue-and-black and skeletal like the rest of his body. Then, he dusts off his clothing: green-with-blue-accents football shorts and shirt, the latter of which has the word "SPEEDRUNNER" and the number 59 emblazoned on its back.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]"Well, everything seems to be in-WAIT! I forgot the most important check!"[/COLOR]
TASBot runs on the spot for a few seconds.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]"That felt good. And... 2006%! Alright, I can still build up speed and run as fast as I want!"[/COLOR]
TASBot turns towards the tavern.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]"Only thing left to do now is get my bearings and get some quests in the log. This 'Trog's Tavern' seems like the perfect place to start!"[/COLOR]
The robot enters the tavern. He looks around, his optical sensors scanning for potential job offers.
Nothing shows up immediately, so he takes a seat at a lone table and begins displaying a hologram from his helmet. It reads: "HELP WANTED? LOOK OVER HERE!"
