.Hack//A New World

[Haseo_Dude]

Damn, I wish... I wish I was stronger... if only I... if only I could get back up on my feet. Dammit, clock is running out, she said....., The static memory of the battle, Virgin Blade: "Maybe in a few level, you'd pose bigger threat." She's right, I wasn't that much of a threat. *PING!* That sound... looks like I've respawned. L respawns back at the Chaos Gate. "Dammit, I've got to get stronger!"
"Why not try recruiting allies?" A player said out of annoince. L: "Right, let's try getting back to the Tavern and recruit some allies for level training." L walks off to the entrance of Mac Anu.

Virgin Blade: " You're not bad kid, but you're too weak. This thought rang through his head, making his fists clentch.

[Haseo_Dude]

After a long search in Mac Anu, L finally gives up in finding allies. Dammit. "How the hell am I gonna fInd anybody around here with intrest!?" L colapses in front of the quest shop when suddonly a voice was heard, "Kyle!" L looked up, he paused his character and Kyle took off his visor and looked around his room. No one was there. As Kyle put back on his visor and un-paused, a quest NPC shop man was in L's face. Startled, he scooted back crazily from the NPC and whimpered, "N--NPCs don't TALK!" "You should go back to the Chaos Gate and let allies come to you."
"Wha-what the hell are you saying? How is a NPC giving ME advice?! I mean I'm talking about ME."
"Well," said the shop keeper, "just have allies come to you. And have you read the forums latley? About your challenge?." L:" My challenge? ... You mean Virgin Blade?!"
"Mhm, ever since you challenged her, I'm sure allies would come to you. Here I'll show you," the NPC showed L his achivment, "Courage my boy, that's what you have brought for newbie players wanting to PK the shadow warlock."
L:" So what does that make me?" He asked one last time. The NPC resonded as he went back to his shop, leaving a good behind for L, "Perhaps, ..." A long dead silence, "The second Haseo, 'The Terror o Death'."

L sat up, examining the prize left behind, 'Empty Skies' weapon has been added toL's weapon list.

[Haseo_Dude]

"Right, he said that allies would be coming to me," L started back to he Chaos Gate, " they, would come to me." L made it back to the Chaos Gate and waited for players to come to Mac Anu. L was begining to get tired as he's watching the Gate having to come back with players he never seen before.

"H-hey! Wait up!" Startled and tripping over his own feet, he cuaght up with the players along side a mysterious character.
"I'm L," the look-alike started first, "you know, like the letter. I'm a Adept Rouge, and you guys are?"

( try not to post three times in a row)

Reks: ( he ended up warping back to Mac and with the group After Aegis left) hmm soo I guess we'll message her a little later but right now lets focus on you and maybe calm down and try to focus so you can tell us the whole story from the beginning atleast to the best of your ability okay? ( he smiles at her) we don't bite right hiro? ( he smirks at hiro)

[Haseo_Dude]

L trips over and lands on his face to the ground in front of the group. "H-i," L said, muffled on the ground.

Aegis found an out of the way corner and pulled up a browser window on her charophone, Whoever realized that being able to access the web while playing an MMO was a good idea was brilliant.

Hey Isaac,

I'm playing The World right now, that new game we were talking about last week. I'm in Mac Anu right now and I'm going to the magic shop to see if I can find any good scrolls. I'm playing a swordswoman with red hair and wearing a black coat, my username is Aegis. Come find me or message me when you feel up to meeting up. I'll be at the shop for the next half-hour or so.

Ben

The email sent Aegis declared, "Ok, onwards to magic!" She checked the map and meanedered that way, the others had already gone out of sight by this point. At the shop she perused the scrolls, a lot of them were beyond her budget, even if she sold off her entire inventory, but there were a few. "Hm, a healing spell and an offensive spell, but which one? The tornado was useful..." She stifled an almost retch. "Never happening again." She set that scroll back down and perused the others.

[Haseo_Dude]

As L was trying to get attention, he felt invisable. "Fine," he said, " ill just head to the shops to see what they have." As L went to the big doors, and opened them, he was in front of a red haired girl and both caught eyes at each other. "......."

[GamerKale]

As L walked into the magic shop Aegis turned to look. Is that, Isaac? That was fast. It might not be, but it could. He seemed to be looking at her so she waved with two fingers. "Yo." She pointed at herself. "Aegis." If it was Isaac she didn't want to scare him off, if he wanted to talk, he'd talk so she returned her attention to the scrolls. "Earth, fire, or water?" She wondered aloud.

[Haseo_Dude]

"Erm.." L said when Aegis said her name, "Hi, I'm L." He walked up to Aegis. "W-What are you doing? Checking out magic?" He looked down where Aegis was looking at.

[GamerKale]

"Yeah, I discovered recently that I'm kind of crap at using my sword for now. Magic seems less raw combat skill intensive." She scratched her head. "I really need to figure out how to unlock my next class. You know anything about Adept Rogues?"

[Haseo_Dude]

"I am an Adept Rouge," L responded, i n the PS2 game I watched on youtube a month ago, that your character had to get certain points from the Quest Shop. I'm starting out as the Twin Blade, Edge Punisher, and the FlickReaper." L pointed to the quest shop, "Over there is the quest shop." He put his finger down. "Hey," his eyes cornered to Aegis, "have you ever heard of Virgin Blade? She's a very skilled level Shadow Warlock, somewhat fairy-ish." He turned to Aegis and put his left hand on his waist and shook his right, "They say whenever she parties up with a group, usally boys, they get Pked on the spot." L showed Aegis a snapshot of Virgin Blade from his charphone. "I've tried to get rid of her at first at this level for an entire hour, but I got PKed." (The sound of Virgin Blades voice still rings in her head.) "Here, ill give you my Member Address," L handed over Aegis his member address.

[AZURE-KITE]

A '!' Symbol flashed on Nyx's charophone, on the browser tab for his Mail "Ah... So it works!" He checked his mail and read new the message from Ben "Aegis, Huh... Ok let's go to... The magic shop..." He spoke to himself, standing from his lazy ass and onwards to the magic shop to meet Ben--Or Aegis, in~game.

After a few seconds running around he found himself infront of the magic shop and proceeded to push the doors open, he glanced thorough the store to see the NPC and two players; a red headed one; Which he instantly confirmed as Aegis and a silver haired one that looked pretty familiar.

"U-uh..." He stuttered, walked a few steps forward shakingly and proceeded to speak the best way he could "Ummm... B-be-- I mean... A-aegis...?" He looked around, avoiding eye contact with any of the two players, but stepping a bit closer to his friend, Ben "U-uh... N-nice to see you here, hahah" He laughed nervously and smiled kindly scratching the back of his head

[Haseo_Dude]

L turned around, "Hmm? Who are you," asked L, "oh I see. Don't be shocked, I'm not real guy you think I am." He smile and greeted himself, "Hi, I'm L." He quickly turns his head to Aegis, "Is he with you?" L then turns back to Nyx. "Looking for Aegis?"

[AZURE-KITE]

Dazzled by this now guy--L's many questions, Nyx stepped back a bit "Y-yeah... H--She's my friend..." Then looked at Aegis, waiting for her to do something to save Nyx from this uncomfortable situation

[GamerKale]

So it's some sort of quest from the shop, maybe, they might have changed things from whatever that game was to now.

Definitely Isaac. Aegis smiled at Nyx arriving and waved, "Hey, you came. We'll get out of here in a sec." She set the scroll on the ground. Ok, how to get rid of this guy? Oh, yeah, I look and sound like a girl, don't I? She grabbed L's hand and turned him to face her instead of Nyx. "Hey, L was it? It was lovely meeting you, but could you give us some privacy? If I run into that Virgin person, I'll let you know straight away so you can come save this damsel in distress." She winked and let go of him.

Aegis grabbed one of the scrolls and bought it, then walked over to Nyx. "You want to walk around while we talk?"

[Haseo_Dude]

"Alright, later I guess." L called back at the two as they walked and talked. I guess no one really cares for me, even if I get in their face politly. I wonder if those two know each other in the real world, if so, then that Nyx guy sure is quiet. Maybe it's because of that mask. L walked off to the Chaos Gate for an area to go to. "I'll just level up and get some goods," L can up to the gate and jumped in, "Quiet Juggling Aquafield!" L warped to the Field and started soloing monsters.

After about 5 minutes of fighting monsters and head to the Beast Temple to the Gott Statue for the prize, L forgot to give out the level of his Pker, "Dammit where is it?" L was warping back to Mac Anu and walking around. "Aha! Here it is." L composed a message to Aegis with his charophone,

Code: Select all

To:Aegis,
Sorry about this, but watch out for that one player. She's at like level 25, and say that I'm sorry about creeping out your friend, he seems disturbed.
Reguards,
L

He sent his PM.

[AZURE-KITE]

That was a very clever way to use appearances, indeed "Oh... Sure..." They both walked out of the store as Nyx looked around "So... Which class did you pick?..." Looking back at the magic shop, he tought of something physical, short ranged; it was the most logical since warlocks nor clerics buy magic in scrolls, and gunners don't really need that.

"Let me have a wild guess" Without the new guy and his questions, Nyx found himself some space to breathe "Something that uses a short range weapon...? For a character like that... It fits the grace and technique... Maybe a Sword? Or are you a flick reaper?" Nyx took a deep breath between his calmed words and continued slowly with a smile "I picked a very unique set of..." He chuckled "...Weapons, for i am an Adept rogue"

And looking back at Aegis he examined the character up and down, it was weird talking to a girl character knowing he was a guy in real life

[GamerKale]

"You're half right. I do use a sword, but like you I'm also an adept rogue. My other class is going to be cleric. I'm kind of wishing I had decided to start with that first right now though. My swordsmanship is crap since I've never even held a sword irl. Oh, but check it. I just did a quest with a couple of other guys before I messaged you. There's thing that our characters can do called Fury mode. For some people it makes them grow like twice the size." Aegis was getting very animated at this point. She raised her hands up above her head and hopped a couple times. "One of the guys with me did that, he was like this big. Anyways, there was this chick hanging by a rope behind an even more giant goblin. So I told him to throw me. I went like voom! Hyaah!" She mimed drawing her sword. "and cut the rope while I was flying through the air. It was awesome."

"That guy back in the shop, L, he mentioned that he thought the way to unlock the next class's abilities involved a quest. You want to see if we can pick it up from the Q-Shop and do it? If so I'll get my magics and you'll get your... what is your next weapon?"

[AZURE-KITE]

He was hipnotized by Aegis' hopping and movements when the question came like a lightning "Oh, me? My next weapon is a complement... I read that you could change with the skill trigger your weapon in the middle of a skill... So i picked my weapons considering my style and also how i could take advantage of them..." He took a boxing stance.

"First, i'm a grappler! So i've been learning to move and have some good hand-eye coordination, as well as reflexes" He mimmicked as if he unshattered a rapier and pointed it forward "Then a blade brandier! With my current skills, speed and stats, i would be deadly with a sword... I'll then have enough technique to handle the last one..." He put both hands behind his back as if grabbing a giant sword.

"And to top it off..." He swung his imaginary giant sword forward and as if it had stomped on the ground "Edge punisher will be my last class~! I'm pretty sure that, by that time i'll be untouchable with that last weapon!" He recovered his relaxed stance with a hand on his waist and the other relaxed "I'm also thinking about helping new people... I read that there are PKs out there, so i might go on random areas looking for PKs once i become stronger..." He smiled and turned his head until he had a glance of the quest shop, and pointed at it "As for the Quest... We should go check.. I'm pretty sure something will show up! And maybe i can try out this Rage mode ..." He motioned Aegis to follow him and walked towards the quest shop

[Haseo_Dude]

At that moment, L was chased by a stampead of players chanting, "Ha-se-o" Aegis and Nyx can see and hear L scream, "I'M NOT HASEOooooo!!!!" As the stampead running around the Mac Anu fountain, while Aegis and Nyx watched.
