After reading the latest page of Peastuck, join in the adventure by suggesting what our heroine should do next! You can do so by posting in this thread, or on the tumblr.

I'm hoping to make one new page a day. One a week is more likely. "Never" is also a distinct possibility. We'll see how this goes.
A Young Girl Sits in her Room

Your name is Patricia! However, your codename, PEACOCK, sounds much cooler. Since you are young and don’t attend public school, you don’t see how that couldn’t be the most awesome name ever!

You are 13 years old, but sadly today is not your birthday. You are a WAR-ORPHAN, and have had quite an unpleasant experience with SLAVE-TRADERS. You were rescued and turned into a CYBORG by DR. AVIAN, who is one of the few people in the world who does not deserve to have the pulp beaten out of him.

With such a rich and developed backstory, you naturally have many INTERESTS, which include whimsical animation, as well as the greatest show in the world, ANNIE: GIRL OF THE STARS; feature length motion pictures; intense scraps; packaged nutrition substitutes, high-powered automotives; large-scale pyrotechnics; sophisticated tobacco inhalation; and barking orders at your LOYAL CRONIES.


Check the Time
tumblr_inline_mss1jquW2r1qz4rgp.png


On your HAMMOCK-SIDE STAND rests a typical BED-SIDE ALARM CLOCK. Of course, you never make use of the ALARM function. You tried that once and the damned thing woke you up. It’s face displays 1:30 PM, meaning it has been ten minutes since you woke up this fine morning. That also means it will be another SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS until a brand new episode of the greatest show in the world, ANNIE: GIRL OF THE STARS, premiers on TV.​

Having already buffed your teeth, changed out of your PAJAMAS, and gone to the little cyborg’s room, you are now in need of a way to pass time. What will you do?


Sit and wait for Seven and 1/2 hours

tumblr_inline_mss2po6efR1qz4rgp.gif


You decide to sit your butt down and wait for ANNIE: GIRL OF THE STARS to start.

…….

After an insufferably long period of time, you realize that this idea was idiotic. That was the longest seven seconds of your life.

You need something to do, and you need it a-sap. So what will you do?​
 
Order a loyal crony to cook up some grub

Get in touch with Annie and ask her to come over and pass the time with you while waiting for Annie of the Stars to come on.
 
Wait a minute... is this homestuck?
 
Peacock: Peek out the door.

That depends... Do you like Homestuck? :p

Order a LOYAL CRONY to Cook up Some Grub

They do say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, after all.

There is a slight problem with this plan: the whereabouts of your LOYAL CRONIES are unknown.


Search for LOYAL CRONIES

tumblr_inline_msvhnzB88r1qz4rgp.png


After thoroughly searching your room, it dawns on you that most of your LOYAL CRONIES are very large and rigid, and could not possibly be hiding in here.​

Alas, your supply of CARTOONISH CIGARS has been completely depleted! A SHOPPING TRIP will be necessary later today to rectify the situation.

Retrieve Arms from Drawer

tumblr_inline_msxbq3nlA41qz4rgp.png


(Fine, I thought of a response so I’ll do this old joke.)
Your arms were removed by SLAVE-TRADERS, and you are fairly sure they are not currently in your possession.

Is OnDemand the same thing as pay-per-view?

Leave room on a quest to find LOYAL CRONIES
tumblr_inline_mszeyqesaY1qz4rgp.png


Okay, but that door leads to your BATHROOM. As you have already performed your MORNING BATHROOM ROUTINE, there is no point in bothering to render it.

Your LOYAL CRONIES are not in here, either. Actually, that’s a relief.


Try Again

There’s the exit! It was hidden behind the viewport.​
 
Is OnDemand the same thing as pay-per-view?

They're similar. The distinguishing factor is whether you can watch it whenever you want, or if you have to watch it in an allotted timeslot. When you pay to gain access to a showing at XX:XX time, it's pay-per-view; when you gain the ability to steam it anytime you want, even for a finite amount of time, that is aptly named "on demand".

Examples: Amazon Video is "On Demand", but if you pay to watch a UFC fight live, that's pay-per-view.

Beyond your room lie the corridors of ANTI-SKULLGIRL LAB 8. This state-of-the-art, government-funded research facility is the CANOPY KINGDOM’s best hope for defense against the impending threat that is the SKULLGIRL.

Your LOYAL CRONIES must be somewhere in this dump.


Proceed down corridor

You pass by your TV ROOM. It used to be the DEBRIEFING ROOM before you persistently monopolized it.
 
Watch Beowulf OnDemand
tumblr_inline_mt3e2uFOV11s9qlgs.png


You check out last night’s match for an exorbitant fee. Oh, how you’ve dreamt of someday getting into the ring with Beowulf and beating the crap out of him.

You wonder if this is one of those TEEN GIRL CRUSHES you hear about.​
 
Sensually caress the television monitor portraying the Beowulf whilst daydreaming about the two of you having an epic battle.
 
I'm not quite familiar with Homestuck, but I find this thread to be a great idea.

Also, the possibility of Peacock having a teen girl crush on Beowulf? Um... *ehem*

Someday… Someday this epic showdown will transpire, and you will be victorious. And scrubs the world over will rage quit in the face of your ineffable greatness.

But Beowulf won’t be playable for like, nine more months.​
 
Quietly gets out of Lab 8 to visit the wrestling ring.
 
Continue search for cronies.

It looks like this match will be incredibly boring. The athletes are still just trash-talking each other, and you are beginning to feel PECKISH. You had better get to the KITCHEN before this condition escalates.​

You walk around corridors for nearly ten minutes trying to figure this out. It seems your shadow will only appear when the scene would be exceedingly boring otherwise. You suspect this law of nature is subject to whim.

After walking down a particularly long corridor (all secret labs are 90% corridors), you enter LAB 8’s cozy KITCHEN.

GEORGE sits at the table, reading the MORNING PAPER. Despite being one of your LOYAL CRONIES, and having had formal education in the culinary arts, George is a horrendous cook.​
