It was a mess, cause my first part when through, got a late rejection after I posted part 2, so then I had to edit part 1 and get it up, then have them take down part 2...ugh.
Confession is good for the soul. But don't worry, all is well now. We have all failed in an epic way on social media.
The login showed up, and I clicked to register a new account. Without hesitation, I typed in “TheGreatCon,” as my username, and promptly invented a thirty-four character password, which I scribbled on my wrist for safekeeping. I’d memorize it tonight.
Oh, and by the way, Con isn’t my name irl. It ain’t even my nickname, like I tell everybody. That’s part of my cover.
You just don’t tell people you’re from South America. All you get is sympathetic looks, and lots of distance. Most people still think we got the plague over here. As if it could spread through the internet.
I selected USA as my country, and moved on. The language barrier was no problem, I taught myself English a long while back. That’s the only way to go somewhere in this world…move to some place that spoke that lingo.
I finished inputting my info, and clicked the “finish” button. It took my account with no CONplaints, and switched me into avatar selection.
I went with a classic LEGO smiley, and threw a sombrero on him. A leather jacket atop that, and a pair of jeans. Simple. Their avatar selection was practically primitive.
From there it launched me straight into the game.
My character spiraled down to the ground, landing amidst a small cloud of dust in a futuristic city street.
Though the whole thing was made out of LEGO bricks, the feel was killer. You almost got chills from the scenery. Everything was so detailed. Everything had like eight layers of texture. Maybe it was just because I normally played third-rate games, but I got the feeling I had stumbled into something big.
GASP and so it begins. :0
Your writing skills are fantabulous, my sombrero wearing friend! *Throws CONfetti*
Can't wait for moreeee *Does a happy little jig*
YAS, it has really begun.
ThanCON ya!
Moar shall be soon forthCONing, this story is going at a fairly good clip, actually.
I found my USB, which was luckily not spilled out of my backpack up on the college campus, as I thought, but sitting atop the piano. Moar story now.
The whole city is a hazmat of humanity. We’ve built buildings on top of buildings so many times that the place looks like a stack of building blocks. The building I’m on top of sits atop a bunker. Atop it is an apartment complex.
It is a mattress store, which went out of business years ago. It is now home to a family of eight and about a million spiders.
My laptop finished firing up, and I zipped in my password with nimble fingers. Twenty two characters long. Why? Because I like a challenge. Oh, and security. My bank account totally reeks of rich.
I ripped off the casing, and inserted the disk into my computer. Most people download games. Not down here. #Hardcopies.
The loading bar was insanely long. I sighed, and pulled up a chat pod on the side, and messaged my one and only friend, Mateo.
TheGreatCon: I got LEGO Multiplayer Battles.
Legosandmore13: bout time.
TheGreatCon: I think I’ll die of old age before it finishes installing.
Legosandmore13: It’s worth it.
TheGreatCon: Tell ‘em that at my funeral.
Legosandmore13: tell ‘em yourself, I don’t plan on coming. Think I’ll stay home and eat pizza.
I dropped back off to press “next” a bunch of times. Just when I was about to go back, it finished, and booted up. The screen filled with a bright flash of light, and then a tumble of bricks obscured it. The rainfall of bricks continued as the “play” button appeared.
I took a deep breath, and then clicked.
I’m in it already! Yay! Also, I actually did the pizza thing once for a wedding.
You got the distinction of being the exact first user in my story. Hope you don't mind I named you Mateo.

I’m getting a Lego Worlds vibe from this. Don’t know if it’s intended, but it’s awesome.
I haven't played that game in so long. Totally unintentional.
Users were either walking around, riding some of the passing trains, or driving vehicles of their own.
I realized I had yet to move in this new game, and reached for the normal keyboard controls. I maneuvered my character off the street, before I met an unfortunate demise involving a two-ton armored truck, and treaded the sidewalks in what was almost awe.
Something else that was evident from this game was that it had borrowed from a million sources, and made something new out of it. The feel of the place was like a mix of a million different things from a million different movies, all at once.
There was a buzz of noise and conversation pouring out of my laptop. I shoved my earbuds into the jack, and plugged them into my ears. I checked my cord to make sure my laptop was on charge, glanced at my wifi bar (3 bars, like always), and dived in.
The city, I discovered, was basically the main hub. There were portals from here to every side world and quest. Most of them revolved around old LEGO themes, which was legit. I mean, Friends almost made me gag, but just imagine the possibilities presented by a Lord of the Rings side world.
And there were more worlds than there had ever been themes. This was a crunch of culture, basically the last sixty years represented in one game.
I teleported over to LEGO Minifigures Online, and prepared for my first battle.
I had played that game before, obsessively almost, back when it was free-to-play. It had shut down just about a year after its pay-to-play release, leaving me devastated. Now I was curious about the resurrection.
It thrust me into the starter level, the pirates cove, after some updated cut scenes that reeked less of a time crunch and insufficient funds than the previous game’s had. It spat me out into the game, thrusting the camera out of first-person and into the traditional third-person of this game.
I walked around, using my keypad to battle British soldiers, monkeys and the occasional tiger.

It was a blast from the past.
And it was also easy XP.
Ohoho fancy! I really like how you explain the game. :0 *Throws CONfetti*
I simply CONnot wait for more.
The mere thought of waiting another seCONd is driving me mad!
We always get games in South America two years behind the rest of the world. It’s not because we’re backwards and behind; it’s because we con’t afford them till they come out on the black market.
By the black market, I mean the squat, dingy old military compound that houses the gaming store. It was originally black, but has since been covered in graffiti, much like the rest of the town. Much like the rest of the world, if the internet is any judge. People have many opinions to express, and seemingly the best way to do it is by spray-painting them on the side of a building, train car, or yourself, if you’re an extremist.
Anyways, in case you’re not acquainted with the time period, welcon to the year 2047. We’ve experienced five world wars, three of which happened in my lifespan. I served in the last one for about twenty minutes, before somebody leaded my leg and I retired on pension. Just kidding, they don’t give out pension.
The world is a horrible place, not sure if it is wherever, whenever you are.
I live in the newly-founded republic of Quantatia. In the local dialect, that is something conpletely unrepeatable. I’m fairly certain the people who named the place knew what they were doing.
Oh, there was also a plague. Wiped out most of civilization. It didn’t make it up past the panama, but yeah, everybody below that either got smashed or didn’t. Most were the former.
But hey, we’re coming back. It’s just that, well, everybody hates each other. Trust issues and so on. Imagine that.
So nobody is extending a helping hand to us in the miserable abode of South America. Luckily, bugs are edible down here, and we’re resilient. We’ll live, just so long as there’s wifi.

That last part will probably be how I feel if I ever get a PS3.

Yasssss! High quality reading material for me to chew up and process!
Great new two parts! Also, I'm really liking your sig!
Thanks, you CON only see like half of it right now. I'll have to fix it Monday.
Really? Well I see baby Groot, The Fellowship silhouette, What looks like NF together, Imagine Dragons, the Hitchhiker's guide to the universe (?), and another symbol that is foreign to me. Is there more yet in store??
But don't worry, all is well now. We have all failed in an epic way on social media. ![[fp]](http://storage.proboards.com/6672327/images/npbLCuGzrLApxWtWqy0u.png)
