- [7:45 PM] Flamy: WHERE MANKIND PLAYS ZSS USING BIDOU AT TAS LEVELS OF PERFECTION
- [7:46 PM] Flamy: ... but that's in the United States, so more on that never. In the city of Maeboshi, on the island region of Japan, Jiganshuku is not waiting for the GMs (Game Masters) to post new updates! In fact, they're kinda bugfixing right now. It's just that the Labyrinths bug them pretty hard! But hey, enough about waiting for a GM to post, what about that girl over there?(edited)
- [7:51 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Who was currently ramming her shield into the face of a bear at mach speeds! "HYAH," she screams as the bear is sent crashing into the woods. 'These things are pretty tough... maybe this isn't a bad place to grind after all...' she thinks to herself before sending her shield flying through the air at equally terrifying speeds, jumping after it. As it connects with the quite grumpy bear at this point, her feet connect with the back of the shield driving it to terminal velocity while it impacts the poor creature. Springing off she tumbles gracefully through the air! Landing a few meters away shield at the ready....(edited)
- [7:56 PM] Flamy: Rage is something to be feared. So is this shield-grabber, as she back-throws for the last stock. The things you can do out of shield! Enough about smashing (bears), though, PM incoming! (It's not illegal, and JiMR's not dying over here. He's recovered ever since.)
- "Greetings! I'm sure you're curious about the Labyrinths of this world you wander in, are you not?"
- [7:58 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": "Haaaahh, I thought I had PMs turned off.." the girl mutters grumpily opening her settings to find.. that they were! Well that's certainly odd. Maybe this was a GM?
- "the Labyrinths, you mean the super hard dungeons that have been popping up right?"
- [8:02 PM] Flamy: Blip. Somewhere, ten thousand years in the past, someone is getting shine'd on. "Yes, those Labyrinths. What if I were to tell you that there was more to these dungeons?"
- [8:09 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": Azuma felt an unprecedented rage boiling up, as if somebody somewhere was being bullied in the harshest of ways. But nevermind that, this mysterious PM was more pressing! "More? Like a new loot system?" That would surely be something! Grinding these bears was tedious. At least there wasn't an oppresive cash shop yet...
- [8:29 PM] Flamy: "No, nothing of that sort. Rather, I refer to... the beings hiding within these anomalies, youma. They threaten this world, and the one beyond this one. Normally, people can't harm them, but those with the potential can, and you're one of them!" A black cat with red eyes and mechanized legs strolls up from the woods, with a nameplate of "Destiny" above them, much like an NPC. It... looks up to Azuma, and actually speaks. From its mouth, mind you. "My name is Destiny, an... Overseer, so to say."
- [8:31 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": "Hmmm... Youma huh... Do they have to do with all of the top raiders dissappearing?" Azuma asks, slinging her shield as she eyes the cat curiously. "I figured it had to do with these Labyrinths, but I hadn't been able to find one myself just yet..." as she trails off she pulls up her entirely empty quest log almost as if it would suddenly hold an answer or a marker for her(edited)
- [8:45 PM] Flamy: "The disappearance of players is linked to these youma, yes, which is why many end up... injured! Normally, people can't harm them, but those with the potential can. And you..." Destiny sits in front of Azuma, tail swishing. "... are one of them!"
- [8:48 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": "I guess these bears were good for something then!" Azuma exclaims, bursting in a fit of giggling. "So, how do I begin? You can skip the 'for the good of the world blah blah blah' part, I just want to hit the biggest enemy."(edited)
- [8:50 PM] Flamy: Well, this person certainly had her motives cut- or rather, bashed- differently from the others. Swish, swish. "It's quite simple, miss Azuma."
- "All you have to do is make a contract with me."
- [8:52 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": "Hai-hai show me where to sign." She says, already dusting off her quest tracker. It may see some use again after all!
- [8:59 PM] Flamy: It shakes its head slightly, a catty little grin forming. "Oh, nothing fancy like that. I simply require your acceptance of unlocking the potential within you, and all the risks it bears. If you are ready, close your eyes, and calm yourself."
- Upon the shield girl doing so, an aura would radiate from Destiny, one that would be absorbed by Azuma. This energy certainly didn't feel like anything close to power, but more like... one-ness? Synchronization with oneself? Once the transfer of energy was over, she would be able to open her eyes again! Back to the world, of course. Didn't leave the game or anything (yet). The cat in black still sits in front of her. "The contract... is complete!"
- [9:01 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": "Well this is certainly a different opening to a quest than I'm used to..." Azuma says, giving herself a once over to see if anything had changed. It... hadn't? That seems wrong. "So what's next?" Surely there must be a hub or another NPC to meet with for the next step.
- [9:04 PM] Flamy: Swish, swish. Watching the tail might result in one coming upon the conclusion that it was rather realistic, even for a futuristic MMO like Jiganshuku! "Tomorrow, at 3PM, there is a Labyrinth in the Northern Area. Please be present at that time. Are there... any further questions?"
- [9:05 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": "Hmm... Let's see... Well if these Labyrinths are as hard as you say will I need better gear for them? This stuff isn't bad but you've made them sound pretty intimidating." She replies, rather confused by the whole encounter.
- [9:08 PM] Flamy: "Rest assured, there will not be a need for gear. The potential within you shall provide you the strength to overcome the Labyrinths!" The first (and currently only) conquered Labyrinth was taken on by a well-balanced and skilled team with endgame gear, and there still were casualties, could this cat be for real? Perhaps it was... Destiny that would prevent deaths!
- [9:10 PM] QuiBee - "Server" "Owner": "Oh, this must be a character development quest line then. Well that's fine. 3 PM Northern Area, I'll be there." Azuma says, already turning from the cat. She had plenty of bear pelts that needed to be crafted before then.
- [9:15 PM] Flamy: Hm... In time, they would know. In time, they would understand the severity of the situation they were all in. But for now, Destiny would part ways with the shield girl, having already gone on quite the spree of recruiting now. Three girls! Though it certainly was glad to have gotten these results in a single day, it still was a roundabout way-
