A young troll stands in her respiteblock. Though it was ten solar sweeps ago she was given life, she is far from finished with the story of her life. Ten Alternian solar sweeps, for convenient reference, is roughly equivalent to twenty-one Earth years. Of course, we aren't on Alternia, because that would be ridiculous. No, indeed, we have moved on from that planet. Those trolls’ stories have already been told. This is a new tale altogether. Your name is DEILYA OSKUNE. In a few months, on the 8th bilunar perigee of the 8th dark season’s equinox, it will once again be your WRIGGLING DAY, an event for which you are abnormally excited. This is because on that day, you will be playing a game with a few of your friends. This game, of course, will herald the end of your world. But as this is both unavoidable and unimportant at the moment, there is no reason to dwell on it. You have a variety of interests, including PLAYING MUSIC and GAMING with your FRIENDS. You claim to be very good with the GUITAR, and you have an ENJOYMENT of the NUMBER SEVEN which many of your friends describe as ABNORMAL. Your FAVORITE GUITAR is a SEVEN-STRING ELECTRIC GUITAR designed to RESEMBLE a TROLL. Your FAVORITE TIME SIGNATURE is 7/7 TIME, which is why all your FRIENDS say you're ACTUALLY TERRIBLE at the GUITAR. They just DON'T UNDERSTAND. You've been waiting for your WRIGGLING DAY to play the AFOREMENTIONED GAME, because that SEEMS TO BE THE TRADITION. You'd LIKE TO SAY you'll be GOING IN BLIND, but your lusus taught you not to LIE. You have SEEN the game PLAYED BEFORE. Of course, that is something to be DISCUSSED LATER. Scattered about your room are VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS, as well as several ASSORTED CONTROLLERS. A VIDEO SCREEN sits in the corner, and below it are various GAMING CONSOLES. A desk sits opposite that VIDEO SCREEN, next to your RECUPERACOON, and upon that desk sits your COMPUTER, which you'll use to PLAY THE GAME when that time comes. Of course, you also have VARIOUS PORTABLE COMPUTERS, as you have SEEN WHAT HAPPENS when one does not remember to KEEP NO LESS THAN 5 COMPUTERS ON THEM AT ALL TIMES. You, personally, keep SEVEN. In the far corner, there is a SEWING MACHINE, which you used to make your ENTIRE WARDROBE yourself.
