You pull up the client and server, both of which request another computer to host the opposite. While you would normally pester your chums to help you in this situation, you couldn't help but be transfixed by a strange... something pop up beside you. It appeared to be a simple metal plate with two buttons, YES and NO, and a black screen with a yellow border hovered above it. The screen read "Use Captchalogues?" Not sure what it was, you decide to press the YES button. The screen and buttons fade away, dropping a card in its place. You pick the card up. It reads "Tom Swifty Modus." That certainly seems reliable. You put it in your hoodie pocket for safe keeping when you are suddenly startled by an inventory menu popping up in front of you. Pulling out the card and flipping it over, you notice that it has instructions on the back.
"To retrieve an item with the Tom Swifty modus, you have to provide a Tom Swifty pun relative to the item.
EX. "This pun book sure is corny," Tom said amazingly.
"This knife is cutting edge," Tom said sharply.
"I better get my bathing suit on," Tom said swimmingly."
You read the instructions a second time, completely sure what you had done was just a bad joke. When it is clear that this was reality, you promptly scream at the top of your lungs. Puns are just the worst. Your life is just one enormous pun, with you always as the punch line. If anyone were to say a pun to your face, you would be willing to smack them across the face with few exceptions. And now this is your primary method of using captchaloguing, whatever that is. "JUST GREEEEAT!" You proceed to have a mental breakdown.
After you're done having an episode, you figure now is a good time to test out this modus. You notice a few items scattered around in the SENTIMENTAL(?) JUNK, particularly a PAIR OF DICE, a BALL & CUP, some POKER CHIPS, and a NEWSBOY CAP. There were other items that you could come back to later, but for now you decide to practice with these objects. For some reason, you innately know how to captchalogue these items and the BALL & CUP is sent in one of four slots in your deck. You wonder if you can pick up multiple items, and successfully pick up the POKER CHIPS. After you captchalogue the PAIR OF DICE and NEWSBOY CAP, it would seem like a good time to swap out hats. In an attempt to "equip" the NEWSBOY CAP, it appears that the term "equip" does not seem to apply to the modus. Begrudgingly, you conform to the demands of the Tom Swifty modus. "'I wonder if this NEWSBOY CAP is my size,' Paige said fittingly," you mutter in contempt. The cap appears in your hand, and you swap it out with your BASEBALL CAP. Instead of replacing the empty slot with the new cap, you toss it on the bed instead. Upon uttering a poor Tom Swifty to retrieve the PAIR OF DICE, they fly into your bathroom violently. It seems that obtaining things with this "captchaloguing" is dangerous if not mastered. As such, the practice continues. This practice goes on for a couple of minutes as you get aquainted a bit more with the idea. The PAIR OF DICE is still in the bathroom, so you walk over to retrieve them.
There are several features of the bathroom. A sink and mirror are located to the right while the bathtub and shower are immediately ahead. A wall to the left hides the toilet so as to not make bathroom trips too awkward in the case of an accidental entrance. Next to the porcelain throne is a closet door with several towels and a spot for your clothes hamper to go. You proceed to return the hamper to the closet and notice your dice near the sink. As you reenter your bedroom, you figure now would be a good time to talk to someone a bit different from the usual crowd.
