AW PnP test part 2

AW Test 2, part 2
Funny as hell, 'nuff said.

=====

[15:44] <Opt> we were fighting a T-rex
[15:44] <Opt> You drop down unceremoniously from above, shaking the ground below the moment you make contact with the ground
[15:45] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke tries to bend his avatar's massive knees to lessen the impact
[15:45] <@Tusjecht> It works somehow, though his health gauge has a tiny fraction shaved off.
[15:45] <Opt> This does not go unnoticed by the beast, who inhales audbily before emitting a roar so powerful that for a few seconds, you lost your ability to hear
[15:46] <Opt> In the meantime, Danube Lancer and Whisky Asura sneak around
[15:46] <@Tusjecht> "...wow!"
[15:46] <Opt> and Bahia Cartoon takes a good firing position
[15:46] <Opt> The T-Rex closes in
[15:46] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke quickly glances back at his HP Gauge: no additional change
[15:46] <Opt> and opens its mouth in an attempt to crunch you down with its jaws
[15:46] <Opt> However...
[15:46] <Opt> You place your shield between its jaws
[15:47] <Opt> no matter how much strength it tries to extert
[15:47] <Opt> it's useless
[15:47] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke shuts his eyes and hold out his shield like a lifeline
[15:47] <Opt> It cannot crush your defenses
[15:47] <@Tusjecht> *CRUNCH*
[15:47] <Opt> which are like a rampart
[15:47] <Opt> *fortress
[15:47] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke slowly opens his eyes and is greeted with an incredible sight.
[15:47] <Opt> At the same time
[15:47] <@Tusjecht> "What in the flying fish is..."
[15:48] <@Tusjecht> "..I can stop even this?"
[15:48] <Opt> Hunter and Asura have begun attacking its flank
[15:48] <Opt> With a *ping!* a small gauge appears on top of the beast
[15:48] <Opt> It has two gauges
[15:48] <Opt> the first one is slowly emptying
[15:48] <Opt> pixel by pixel
[15:49] <Opt> At the same time, Bahia Cartoon fires his first rocket toward's the beast's left eye
[15:49] <Opt> (Roll for precision: 16 needed)
[15:49] <Opt> (11)
[15:49] <Opt> The shot, however, due to not being a pure ranged type, misses its target
[15:49] <@Tusjecht> (It would be hilarious if it hit me)
[15:50] <Opt> and instead hits its mouth
[15:50] <@Tusjecht> (Holy- )
[15:50] <Opt> While you remain unscratched
[15:50] <@Tusjecht> tatesuke is momentarily stunned by the rocket's blast
[15:50] <Opt> it causes the T rex to raise its head
[15:50] <Opt> and launch you upwards
[15:50] <@Tusjecht> But checking his gauge, he seems unharmed for the moment
[15:50] <@Tusjecht> "ARGHH!!"
[15:50] <Opt> Your back hits the ground
[15:51] <Opt> as the T-rex's tail raises before going down again upon your body-!
[15:51] <@Tusjecht> "-shit"
[15:51] <Opt> As fast as you can, you raise your shield and stop the incoming attack without taking damage
[15:51] <Opt> yet
[15:51] <Opt> your body is slowly being buried in the wet soil
[15:52] <Opt> it's only a matter of time till you hit the bed rock
[15:52] <@Tusjecht> (...dayum)
[15:52] <Opt> and then no shield will protect you
[15:52] <Opt> The other two keep on attacking using this distraction
[15:52] <@Tusjecht> (This shit is hilarious)
[15:52] <Opt> While Bahia Cartoon notices this
[15:52] <Opt> and tries to attract its attention
[15:52] <Opt> yet you are his only focus
[15:53] <Opt> Again, the tail slams into you while it twists its head
[15:53] <Opt> once it's made sure you're buried too deeply to get yourself out
[15:53] <Opt> he has you at its mercy
[15:53] <Opt> -"SHIT!"
[15:53] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke feels what seems to be several tons of wet earth sucking down on him, stopping all movement.
[15:53] <@Tusjecht> -"SHIT!"
[15:54] <Opt> Bahia Cartoon fires his second shot
[15:54] <@Tusjecht> "I'm in a shallow grave..."
[15:54] <Opt> attracting the T-Rex's attention
[15:54] <Opt> which promptly turns away, giving you time to move away
[15:54] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke prays his friends can get him out later...if they're still around.
[15:54] <Opt> Asura goes with his four arms and tries to get you out
[15:54] <@Tusjecht> (Wasn't I stuck, unable to move on my own?)
[15:54] <@Tusjecht> (Oh)
[15:55] <Opt> with the two of you cooperating, you easily make it out of what could have been your grave
[15:55] <Opt> yet, at the same time...
[15:55] <Opt> You are greeted with a horrendous sight
[15:55] <@Tusjecht> Seeing the four-armed silhouette, tatesuke almost scares himself into a panic, until he realises it's Whisky Asura, pulling him out as easily as plucking a flower.
[15:55] <Opt> Bahia Cartoon's body
[15:55] <Opt> with half its torso ripped
[15:55] <Opt> still holding his rocket launcher
[15:56] <Opt> -"Oh shit. Not this again."
[15:56] <@Tusjecht> Out of the grave, Tatesuke looks around for the rocket-wielding avatar, Bahia-something...
[15:56] <@Tusjecht> (that's my line! :D)
[15:56] <Opt> Says Danube Lancer
[15:57] <@Tusjecht> And before he can get another word out, Bahia disappears in a flash of light, leaving a Grave Marker behind.
[15:57] <Opt> -"Hey, we don't stand a chance at this here! Let's try luring it to a city so we can fight it better!"
[15:57] <Opt> Plz
[15:57] <Opt> As you considered Bahia Cartoon dead
[15:57] <Opt> His index finger rose and waved
[15:57] <Opt> saying "wait"
[15:57] <@Tusjecht> (He has half his body ripped O_O)
[15:57] <Opt> As he did
[15:58] <Opt> From the parts that had been severed, a new head and upper body emerged with a *Mokyu~* comical sound
[15:58] <@Tusjecht> (Cartoon...ohshitohshitohshit)
[15:58] <Opt> -"Damn! This is the third time I get eaten today!"
[15:58] <Opt> "Boss, this is bad! My health gauge is gonna take a while to regenerate!"
[15:58] <Opt> You instantly understood what was happening.
[15:59] <Opt> Regeneration ability.
[15:59] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke nods, still in a state of disbelief.
[15:59] <Opt> For some reason, this person refused to let his wounds get in his way
[15:59] <Opt> And thus, you four make a run across the jungle
[15:59] <Opt> The beast gives you a breather
[16:00] <Opt> still busy chomping down the bodily parts that had belonged to Cartoon
[16:00] <Opt> but soon after, he chases after you again
[16:00] <Opt> Its steps gradually getting closer
[16:00] <Opt> as the beast, despite its size, has been living in the forests forever
[16:00] <Opt> while this is the first time you've ever stepped in this treacherous terrain
[16:01] <@Tusjecht> Knowing they can't outrun the T-rex forever, tatesuke boldy turns around.
[16:01] <Opt> -"He's getting closer! Shit! What do we do, Guardian?"
[16:01] <@Tusjecht> "Go on, let's repeat the same tactic!"
[16:01] <Opt> "Understood!"
[16:01] <@Tusjecht> Slamming his shield on a branch as hard as he can to attract the T-rex
[16:01] <Opt> However
[16:02] <Opt> this time the T-rex outright ignores you
[16:02] <Opt> as instead of biting
[16:02] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke also yells incoherently to get its attention--
[16:02] <Opt> slams its tail into you
[16:02] <@Tusjecht> Or well, he tries.
[16:02] <Opt> tossing you away
[16:02] <Opt> -"Goddamn-!"
[16:02] <@Tusjecht> and Tatesuke ate tree branch
[16:02] <Opt> The beast eyes gleefuly its two new tastier, not so hard prey
[16:03] <Opt> -"Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck"
(This is not a huge gap between posting. Opti pasted the first half while I put up the second.)
[23:03] <Opt> yo zag
[23:03] <@Tusjecht> (this is funny as hell)
[23:03] <@Tusjecht> (i'll make a pastebin)
[23:03] <Zagrin> sup
[23:03] <Opt> logs
[23:03] <Opt> http://pastebin.com/VdKWmMUc
[23:03] <Opt> The two try to run
[23:03] <Opt> yet to no avail
[23:04] <Opt> however, the moment it catches up, Bahia Cartoon again performs the same tactic
[23:04] <Opt> Precision: 19 required
[23:04] <Zagrin> brb
[23:04] <Opt> Roll: 2
[23:04] <Opt> The shot misses its target, but still impacts cleanly against the monster's body
[23:05] <Opt> lowering its health by a few pixels
[23:05] <Opt> this causes the Tyrant to look back, giving Tatesuke time to make it back and the two friends to get behind
[23:05] <Opt> yet leaving Cartoon on his own
[23:05] <@Tusjecht> Lumbering through the uneven ground and thick jungle, Tatesuke struggles mightily through.
[23:06] <@Tusjecht> "Lance-san!"
[23:06] <@Tusjecht> "You think you can throw a branch as well as you throw a spear?!"
[23:06] <Opt> -"I can try! Uooooooooooooooh!"
[23:06] <Opt> Precision: 19 required
[23:07] <@Tusjecht> grabbing a nearby root, Tatesuke grunts- and rips it from the tree it was anchoring, handing it to Lance.
[23:07] <Opt> Roll: 19
[23:07] <@Tusjecht> (Woot)
[23:07] <Opt> The tree branch is thrown
[23:07] <Opt> impacting the beast's eye
[23:07] <Opt> which emits a bellow of pure agony and pain as it loses its eyesight
[23:07] <Opt> momentarily, allowing Cartoon to slip through
[23:08] <Opt> However, the beast swings it tail wildly
[23:08] <@Tusjecht> "Well, we are successful at distracting it...as well as pissing it off big-time-!"
[23:08] <Opt> Sending you all crashing
[23:08] <Opt> a few metres away
[23:08] <@Tusjecht> For a second time, Tatesuke eats tree branch.
[23:08] <Opt> The beast's other eye focuses on you
[23:08] <Opt> -"Allright. Now we /run/
[23:08] <@Tusjecht> Spitting out the fragments, he spits out ^ that
[23:08] <Opt> Pointing towards the buildings that can be seen far away
[23:09] <Opt> covered in trees
[23:09] <Opt> his intent is obvious: hide inside the buildings
[23:09] <@Tusjecht> "We-gotta-get-out-of-this-forest
[23:09] <Opt> and so begins
[23:09] <@Tusjecht> "Too-damn-difficult-to-fight"
[23:09] <Opt> the unglorious retreat of the three warriors
[23:09] <Opt> and Cartoon
[23:09] <Opt> -"AAAAAAAAAAAH! MAKE WAY MAKE WAY MAKE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"
[23:09] <Opt> Asura yells into the forest
[23:10] <Opt> with hopes that the trees will get out of his way
[23:10] <Opt> you run in the rear guard
[23:10] <Opt> feeling its breath getting closer and closer
[23:10] <Opt> until
[23:10] <Opt> *CHOMP*
[23:10] <@Tusjecht> "WILL YOU FRIGGIN RUN AND SAVE YOUR BREATH-"
[23:10] <Opt> Bahia Cartoon places the rocket launcher in its mouth and presses the trigger
[23:10] <@Tusjecht> "Uhoh" Tatesuke thought
[23:11] <Opt> The explosion sends both of you flying, you taking some light damage
[23:11] <Opt> and Cartoon losing his arm
[23:11] <@Tusjecht> For thr third time today
[23:11] <Opt> and being blown away and getting impaled into a branch
[23:11] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke eats tree branches
[23:11] <@Tusjecht> Getting particularly infuriated now
[23:11] <@Tusjecht> he sees he's next to Cartoon's tree
[23:12] <Opt> -"AAAAARGH! THIS HURTS LIKE A BITCH!"
[23:12] <@Tusjecht> and tries to get him down by pulling his leg, hoping his regen ability works
[23:12] <Opt> "THIS IS EVEN WORSE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
[23:12] <@Tusjecht> And immediately regrets it
[23:12] <Opt> you rip his innards
[23:12] <Opt> from the inside
[23:12] <Opt> yet you manage to get him out
[23:12] <Opt> and seconds afterwards new flesh and armor replaces the old one
[23:12] <Opt> Without speaking a single word
[23:12] <Opt> the two of you resume your race
[23:13] <Opt> The vegetation begins to vanish
[23:13] <@Tusjecht> (Eh, I'd like to see Cartoon cursing Guardian for that :P)
[23:13] <Opt> As you can finally make out the shapes of a building
[23:13] <@Tusjecht> And finally, tatesuke and Cartoon reach the perimetre of what should be an RL block of buildings.
[23:14] <Opt> You would stop to admire their beauty
[23:14] <Opt> yet
[23:14] <Opt> the moment you come out, you notice that ahead of Lancer and Asura
[23:14] <Opt> there's a red Duel Avatar who's looking dumbfounded
[23:14] <Opt> before realizing why are you running so fast
[23:15] <Opt> -"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! YOU SONS OF BITCHES! DON'T RUN IN MY DIRECTIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"
[23:15] <Opt> The beast makes its appearance
[23:15] <Opt> its face disfigured
[23:15] <Opt> horribly
[23:15] <Opt> but still alive enough to desire your death
[23:15] <@Tusjecht> "You think we knew you are here?!"
[23:15] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke angrily snaps at the new guy
[23:16] <Opt> -"THAT'S IT FUCKERS! GET DOWN, NOW!"
[23:16] <Opt> As he says that
[23:16] <Opt> his right arm transforms
[23:16] <Opt> Into a massive railgun-like weapon
[23:16] <Opt> and begins to emit sparks
[23:16] <Opt> as bracers appear from his legs to hold him down
[23:16] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke needs no more reminders.
[23:16] <@Tusjecht> And eats ground for a fourth time.
[23:16] <Opt> -"CERTAIN DEADLY RAILGUN!"
[23:16] <Zagrin> back
[23:17] <@Tusjecht> Spitting dirt out his mouth as he braces.
[23:17] <Opt> It all happens in a second
[23:17] <Opt> You feel a strong wind race against your armor
[23:17] <Opt> and then
[23:17] <Opt> the beast's left half of the body
[23:17] <Opt> has been pierced all the way through
[23:18] <@Tusjecht> "What the fuck..."
[23:18] <Opt> -"YOU FUCKERS BETTER FINISH THIS BASTARD OR I'LL KILL YOU AFTER YOU ARE DEAD!@
[23:18] <Opt> The beast still retaining half of his second gauge
[23:18] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke looks at the beast, then at the red railgun, and back
[23:18] <Opt> attempts to charge forward
[23:18] <@Tusjecht> "-alright, alright!"
[23:18] <Opt> The red avatar soon begins to punch nearby grass
[23:18] <@Tusjecht> Getting up, he plants his shied into the ground
[23:18] <Opt> trying to charge his gauge again
[23:19] <@Tusjecht> and hopes the half-blind beast runs into it
[23:19] <Opt> The beast blindly charges
[23:19] <Opt> and trips on you
[23:19] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke shuts his eyes and braces-
[23:19] <@Tusjecht> "Cartoon-san, a rocket please!"
[23:19] <Opt> Your body is unceremoniously stomped upon
[23:19] <Opt> yet the beast falls down
[23:20] <Opt> and as far as it goes
[23:20] <Opt> it cannot stand up anymore
[23:20] <Opt> Your friends ATTACK
[23:20] <@Tusjecht> On his back, tatesuke is grateful for not eating dirt for a fifth time
[23:20] <Opt> ignoring the beasts high pitched bellows
[23:20] <@Tusjecht> And his companions strike
[23:20] <Opt> they unleash a barrage of everything they can
[23:20] <Opt> they pierce its body
[23:20] <@Tusjecht> Getting up, Tatesuke raises the shield above his head
[23:20] <Opt> punch its face
[23:20] <Opt> and fire rockets
[23:21] <@Tusjecht> and rams it straight down onto where the base of its brain should be
[23:21] <@Tusjecht> "THERE!"
[23:21] <Opt> The beast
[23:21] <Opt> Finally vanquished
[23:21] <Opt> vanishes into pixels
[23:21] <Opt> Holy mother of fuck, guys
[23:21] <@Tusjecht> "...is it...is it over?"
[23:21] <Opt> we did it!
[23:21] <Opt> we slew a Large class beast! FUCK YEAH!
[23:21] <Opt> Hey, asstards!
[23:22] <@Tusjecht> Losing his adrenaline rush, Tatesuke finally lets go of his shield-
[23:22] <Opt> The red duel avatar who assisted in the kill approaches
[23:22] <@Tusjecht> 'now wtf do you want,' he thinks.
[23:22] <Opt> he looks like a mix between a robot
[23:22] <Opt> wearing a baseball cap
[23:22] <Opt> and boots
[23:22] <Opt> did it drop anything rare
[23:22] <Opt> if so, its mine!
[23:22] <@Tusjecht> "Um" Tatesuke blurts
[23:22] <@Tusjecht> trying to stall
[23:22] <@Tusjecht> and find a compromise
[23:23] <@Tusjecht> Remembering the power of dat railgun
[23:23] <@Tusjecht> he holds up both hands and says
[23:23] <@Tusjecht> (scratch that. ^)
[23:23] <Opt> be back later
[23:23] <Opt> gotta eat
[23:23] <@Tusjecht> He stands straight up, and bows to the railgun avatar.
[23:23] <Opt> and keyboard is acting weird
[23:23] <@Tusjecht> (lol)
[23:24] == Opt [webchat@3d9ffd99.3a15f1cd.dynamic.jazztel.es] has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[23:24] <@Tusjecht> (typing 2fast)
[23:53] == Zagrin [webchat@2e099bf0.370af11b.mweb.co.za] has quit [Ping timeout: 361 seconds]
[00:04] == Opt [webchat@3d9ffd99.3a15f1cd.dynamic.jazztel.es] has joined #awtest2
[00:11] <Opt> whenever you feel like we can start again
[00:13] <@Tusjecht> (Mhm)
[00:14] <@Tusjecht> "Thank you very much, um...umm..."
[00:14] <Opt> -"I'm Guardsman Railgun, bunch of cocksuckers."
[00:14] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke screws up the expression of thanks, realising he doesn't know the guy's name.
[00:14] <Opt> As he says that, he checks for any Item Cards on the ground
[00:15] <@Tusjecht> "...crude, but to the point" Tatesuke considers.
[00:15] <Opt> -"Well, fuck this shit. You bunch of asstards ain't worth my time."
[00:15] <@Tusjecht> "...okay."
[00:15] <Opt> Saying that, he folds back his weapon into his right arm and waves towards a blue silhouette in the distance
[00:15] <@Tusjecht> Wondering what kind of upbringing this Guardsman Railgun had
[00:16] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke grabs his shield, still standing upright where it was.
[00:16] <Opt> -"Next time you bastards pull that, I'll kill you."
[00:16] <@Tusjecht> '...understood, Railgun-san."
[00:17] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke briefly wonders if he can even repel a shot that powerful, then thinks of an alternative...
[00:17] <@Tusjecht> "Eh, Railgun-san!"
[00:17] <Opt> -"See ya. Although I must admit you guys did well to survive that with just four all the way here. You guys should get more firepower.
[00:17] <@Tusjecht> "Which area are you based in?"
[00:17] <@Tusjecht> "Y'know, where you usually duel?"
[00:18] <Opt> -"Huh? I usually go to Setagaya or Shinjuku, to put some heat on the Black Legion. Especially that son of a bitch Crow."
[00:19] <@Tusjecht> "Ah, okay then"
[00:19] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke realises it isn't very far from his hangouts in Shibuya.
[00:20] <Opt> -"Next time I see him I'll leave him eating shit so hard he'll poop through his mouth. Well, see ya."
[00:20] <@Tusjecht> "I hope to meet you again someday."
[00:20] <@Tusjecht> Without waiting for a reply, Tatesuke turns back and faces his three new pals.
[00:20] <@Tusjecht> His gaze lingers on the fourth hand Asura is holding behind his back...
[00:21] <Opt> The three of them wait until he's gone
[00:21] <Opt> before saying
[00:21] <Opt> -"Haha, serves that guy right."
[00:21] <Opt> "We were going to give it to him, but hell, no need to be so sore, right?"
[00:21] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke shrugs.
[00:21] <@Tusjecht> I'd rather not deal with him at the moment of course.
[00:22] <Opt> -"I've heard about him. They say he gets really bad when he loses. Like, he's been expelled from the Gallery a few times."
[00:22] <@Tusjecht> "So it goes without saying that he could be a Joker kind of ally..."
[00:22] <Opt> -"Yeah. Also, once you've defeated him, he'll start stalking you like crazy till he humilliates you. Scary shit."
[00:22] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke shudders.
[00:23] <Opt> "He's the kind of guy who's more concerned about winning than enjoying himself."
[00:23] <@Tusjecht> "Looks like Shibuya being separated from Setagaya and Shinjuku by Suginami, Nakano, and Roppongi is a good thing...
[00:23] <Opt> "Anyways, let's see what we have here... <<Tyrant's Claw>>. Apparently it's some sort of blade that increases the speed and strength of its wielder, but makes him feel perpetually hungry."
[00:24] <@Tusjecht> "I wonder then, what's he doing here."
[00:24] <@Tusjecht> "Feel perpetually- what?"
[00:24] <Opt> (We're in Ikebukuro)
[00:24] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke is sure he misheard the last part.
[00:24] <@Tusjecht> (oops)
[00:24] <Opt> -"So, who's gonna equip it?"
[00:24] <Opt> -"Uh... Let's see..."
[00:25] <Opt> The three of them form a circle with you as a part of it before going
[00:25] <Opt> -"Rock, paper, scissors!"
[00:25] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke politely raises a hand in decline.
[00:25] <@Tusjecht> "This shield is enough for me...:"
[00:25] <Opt> (Asura: Scissors; Lancer & Cartoon: Rock)
[00:26] <Opt> -"YEAH! Rock always wins!"
[00:26] <Opt> -"Uh... Allright. here goes nothing!"
[00:26] <Opt> -"Equip! Tyrant Claw!"
[00:26] <Opt> The moment Asura says that, a gigantic blade made of bone manifests in one of its arms
[00:27] <Opt> resembling the jaw of the tyrant of past times you just slew
[00:27] <Opt> its power is as as great as the beast itself
[00:27] <Opt> however, at the same time
[00:27] <Opt> *grumble*
[00:27] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke is slightly unnerved at the claw's appearance.
[00:27] <Opt> Asura's stomach emits a pitiful noise
[00:27] <@Tusjecht> "Uh...lolwhat?!"
[00:27] <Opt> -"Ahhhh! Awesome! I feel so much stronger! But... You wouldn't have snacks?"
[00:28] <Opt> -"Nope."
[00:28] <@Tusjecht> "It wasn't kidding..."
[00:28] <Opt> -"Sorry, man."
[00:28] <Opt> -"Well, screw this! I'll just equip it when we're in a battle. Keeping it all the time sounds like a hassle."
[00:28] <@Tusjecht> (brb, calling my mum.
[00:28] <Opt> Saying that, Asura unequips the amazing sword
[00:28] <Opt> -"So, now what do we do?"
[00:35] <Opt> -"Well, there's this scary rumor I heard the other day. A friend of a friend of mine in the Gallery went to Sunshine City's shop the other day..."
[00:36] <Opt> "and he was attacked by some sort of dude donning a suit of armor."
[00:36] <Opt> -"Dude, that's not scary at all!"
[00:37] <Opt> -"Well. First of all, he looks like some sort of predator. He seems to have some sort of wall-climbing ability, because he managed to drop from above even if there were no windows!"
[00:37] <Opt> -"Meh. That's a pain in the ass to deal with, but nothing too special."
[00:37] <Opt> -"No. That's not all. When he was hit by the blade... A strange mark appeared in his body."
[00:37] <Opt> -"Uwoh."
[00:38] <Opt> -"Of course, this guy ran and ran like hell and hid himself inside a building and tried waiting for the guy in the stairs
[00:39] <Opt> but. The motherfucker appeared right behind him and stabbed him from behind!"
[00:39] <Opt> -"Wait, wait. How do we know he wasn't just a moron who forgot to check if there was any fire escape or a place to jump from?"
[00:40] <Opt> -"Uhhh... Dunno, actually."
[00:41] <@Tusjecht> (my mum is in Taiwan now for a little trip, so a call is in order,)
[00:41] <Opt> i c
[00:42] <Opt> i'm just setting up things
[00:42] <Opt> don't mind me
[00:42] <Opt> (oh lol you're back)
[00:42] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke listened to the exchange with a disturbing feeling settling in the pit of his stomach.
[00:42] <@Tusjecht> (if you have a pic of that 'mark
[00:42] <@Tusjecht> '*mark' or anything...)
[00:43] <@Tusjecht> "Well, uh.."
[00:43] <Opt> -"No, no. I've heard of it as well." -Says Asura. Well, more like a friend of mine lost 60 points yesterday there."
[00:43] <@Tusjecht> "We're done, actually" Tatesuke nervously laughs.
[00:43] <Opt> "But he said he wasn't one, but Three. They all looked fucking scary."
[00:44] <Opt> "One instantl killed a party member. Other sliced and diced two of them in seconds. And the last one...
[00:44] <Opt> Appeared behind him and stabbed him in the back, even though he destroyed the fire escape with explosives."
[00:45] <Opt> "Then they spent 6 hours camping, until a party from the Green Legion arrived and they left, but..."
[00:45] <@Tusjecht> [i]A Green legion party?[/i]
[00:45] <Opt> "Scary shit, man. They didn't talk at all. They just sat there, waiting for their deaths."
[00:46] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke can't recall anyone he knows being sent out for a specific purpose.
[00:46] <Opt> -"Anyways, any ideas, Guardian-san?"
[00:47] <@Tusjecht> "well..."
[00:48] <@Tusjecht> "It sounds like he has a skill that expands his movement range..."
[00:48] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke recalls an Enemy who slithered over thr ground like a puddle of oil, a tough one to beat.
[00:49] <Opt> -"Maybe... Teleportation. But... He can teleport, and has a sword... What kind of guy has that skill?"
[00:49] <@Tusjecht> Maybe, the staircase was dark, and he didn't notice his assailant snaeking past?
[00:49] <Opt> -"What if he's some sort of ghost?"
[00:49] <@Tusjecht> "The sword could be an Enhanced Armament though."
[00:49] <@Tusjecht> "So maybe the real skill is teleportation."
[00:50] <@Tusjecht> "As in, the initial special skill of an avatar that is its focus."
[00:50] <Opt> -"Possibly."
[00:50] <Opt> -"But isn't that weird? They say he looked like a knight."
[00:51] <@Tusjecht> "Eh, the nearest Leave Point here is Sunshine City too..."
[00:51] <Opt> "How does a knight get a teleport ability out of all things?"
[00:51] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke quietly realises it just as one of them speaks.
[00:51] <Opt> -"Shit..."
[00:51] <Opt> -"Isn't this rather bad?"
[00:51] <@Tusjecht> "Teleportation, sword skills, and heavy armour..."
[00:51] <Opt> "As we leave, tired and hoping to get a bath... We could get ganked."
[00:52] <@Tusjecht> Concentrating hard, tatesuke tries to wonder what weakness could such an avatar have.
[00:52] <@Tusjecht> Then he remembers a dungeon in the Chiyoda area, absolutely inaccessible in the duelling field
[00:53] <@Tusjecht> But in the UNF, guarded by absurdly strong Enemies.
[00:53] <@Tusjecht> None other than the landmark of the Imperial Palace.
[00:53] <@Tusjecht> Could it be...?
[00:53] <@Tusjecht> Or is he overthinking it...?
[00:53] <Opt> -"Well. In that case, we should get going and check out what the hell is going on."
[00:54] <@Tusjecht> Brushing his thoughts aside, Tatesuke makes his decision.
[00:54] <@Tusjecht> "Yeah, we'll go to sunshine to log out cautiously.
[00:54] <@Tusjecht> "If it's not Railgun-san waiting for us already, then we should be fine."
[00:54] <Opt> Danube Lancer then says "If we go, there are two paths. We can go deep inside the forest, which will take us longer but we'll be less exposed to Enemy attacks unless we head in in purpose."
[00:55] <Opt> "I've got a bad feeling about the city. If the rumor has spread, there should be other parties set up there. Furthermore, if it's a group of troublemakers, there's always the excuse of 'hey, we thought it was the group of the scary sword dude, sorry."
[00:56] <@Tusjecht> "Indeed, the path following the railway line is extremely open and offers little cover."
[00:56] <@Tusjecht> "We'll go through the forest then."
[00:56] <@Tusjecht> "With the large Enemy here, there shouldn't be another one around for 2 km or so.
[00:56] <Opt> You all nod solemnly before getting going
[00:57] <Opt> this time, you can carefully observe everything around you.
[00:57] <Opt> The lush green vegetation, the smaller birds and lizards acting as if they were living beings.
[00:58] <Opt> The pure blue skies overhead, and the sun's rays gently warming your skin
[00:59] <Opt> Like that, the four of you began your walk across the forest.
[00:59] <Opt> Your judgement had been accurate.
[00:59] <@Tusjecht> Trekking through the forest, Tatesuke almost forgot he was in a VR game.
[00:59] <Opt> Other than the songs of tropical birds and an oversized gecko which clung onto your head for part of the travel
[00:59] <@Tusjecht> The beauty of the forest, gentle and pleasing to the eye, made the trip feel a lot shorter than it actually was.
[00:59] <Opt> there was little incident
[01:00] <@Tusjecht> And they reached the edge of the forest about five hundred metres away from Sunshine City tower, where the Leave Point is located.
[01:00] <Opt> -"Wait."
[01:00] <Opt> Signals Danube Lancer
[01:01] <Opt> -"I... think I saw someone up there."
[01:01] <Opt> He points towards the tower above
[01:01] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke squints
[01:01] <Opt> roughly one kilometre away from where you stand
[01:01] <Opt> Yet you see nothing.
[01:01] <Opt> However, maybe what he meant wasn't something that could be percieved with eyesight
[01:01] <Opt> yet...
[01:01] <Opt> with instinct
[01:01] <Opt> You could feel a strong killing intent
[01:02] <Opt> the same as when you fight against long range opponents
[01:02] <Opt> -"Well... Guardian, any plan?"
[01:02] <@Tusjecht> Replacing the warmth of the forest trek was an icy tension Tatesuke felt when facing formidable red opponents.
[01:03] <@Tusjecht> "That guy could be Railgun, yet..."
[01:03] <@Tusjecht> "...my gut feeling is that that isn;t Railgun at all."
[01:04] <Opt> -"Yeah. Railgun isn't the type to attack like that. Makes one wonder why the hell he's a red, he could be a blue with that kind of attitude. These assholes are yellow or red."
[01:04] <Opt> -"Maybe they're from the Yellow Legion."
[01:05] <@Tusjecht> "We'll go around the buildings."
[01:05] <@Tusjecht> It's another long walk, but by using the small ones as cover..."
[01:05] <Opt> -"I see. Maybe we'll be able to avoid them."
[01:05] <Opt> However, as you speak
[01:06] <@Tusjecht> "the closest one that covers all of us from that guy is just about 250 metres away from the Leave Point."
[01:06] <Opt> Asura points somewhere towards the northeast
[01:06] <Opt> -"INCOMING!"
[01:06] <@Tusjecht> "Dafu-" is all tatesuke can get out
[01:06] <Opt> The projectiles hit your body
[01:06] <Opt> however, no damage is done
[01:06] <Opt> instead, a potent flare is emitted from them, temporarily burning your eyes
[01:06] <Opt> of all colours and shapes
[01:07] <Opt> similar to fireworks
[01:07] <@Tusjecht> Tatesuke winces, then realises it was reflexive.
[01:07] <Opt> A few seconds later
[01:07] <@Tusjecht> He still squints, robbing him of periphal vision
[01:07] <Opt> You see the *real* attack arrive
[01:07] <Opt> You try to raise your shield
[01:07] <Opt> but robbed of eyesight, it's useless-!
[01:07] <Opt> *BOOOM*
[01:07] <Opt> One of the tree missiles slams into your chest and blows up
[01:08] <Opt> *three
[01:08] <@Tusjecht> lol
[01:08] <Opt> lowering your health gauge by 30% in a single attack
[01:08] <@Tusjecht> And this time, Tatesuke genuinely gasps in pain.
[01:09] <Opt> bbl in 5 minutes
[01:09] <@Tusjecht> (eh, cut here. I need to sleep :x
