Planejumper: The Actual Game ;)

[Genericangstyposter]

Hunter: "The city has been breached by the Dark Lord Bashlhakha. We need you and your best men to scour the city and destroy his undead hordes!"

Shinobi: "What do you want?" She looks up at you, very pissed off.

OOC: In case I didn't make that clear- I meant that I would be getting BACK at 8:30 PM. I made that a confusing statement, there. ^^;

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen looks at Sharm, and puts her hand around his shoulder in sympathy. "Death is never an easy matter, when viewed like that. I don't know what kind of pain it is to watch your parents die, but I think I get an idea. I'm sorry."

[GG Crono]

"Right. Gather best men, scour city, destroy undead hordes. Check. Gimmie a few minutes to get some stuff and I'll get right on it."
Hunter goes back inside the house,closes the door, and slaps his forehead. (What the hell am I going to do? I don't know who my best men are, let alone how to gather them, I dont know where this city is, and I have no experiance fighting undead hordes, let alone Dark Lord Baklava. What am I going to do?)

[Thursday]

"My freind over there will really like to buy you a drink."

[Genericangstyposter]

Valkyrie Esker:

He smiles at you slightly, and then gets back to the task at hand.

An hour later...

The door opens... you see the figure of a woman exit the building with two burly looking men in suits.

Sharm whipers to you... "Thats her, now start aiming- she takes a while to smoke... good lu..."

"You aren't going to kill anyone, pal," Sharm turns around...

"Shit- we have company. Concentrate on her- and I'll take these punks."

With deft accuracy he shoots a whole straight through one of their heads- but there are four other gang members left.

She pulls out her lighter...

GGCrono: There is a pack in the room (not house ;p), that you missed in the before- and this is all that you see besides the diary and the mirror.

Shinobi: "Oh, he does, does he?" She walks over to the man, and shoots him in the head. "Pig."

She walks up to you, "Thanks." She then returns to her drink, nonchalantly. Nobody seems to want to fuck with her- or do anything about her decision.

You had best hurry.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen nods slightly to Sharm, then takes out ehr bow and aims it.

"God, please don't let this miss." Karen fires an arrow towards the woman.

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: Okay- it will take a couple of turns to aim, and so instead of making you post "I'm gonna aim... I'm gonna aim, blah blah blah," I'll just speed up time and tell you what happens.

The first gang-member who isn't dead almost hits your in the head with a bullet- and the second connects with Sharm Rhae's right leg. Sharm Rhae shoots one of the gang members while taking out another gun- he hits him in the chest... that gang member lies on the floor bleeding.

One of them runs down the stairs, while the other tries to slice Sharm up with some wolvers... he dodges and then uses his other gun- which squirts a liquid... and the last gang member ends up convulsing on the ground.

Your arrow flies straight towards her neck... and connects. It goes straight through her flesh, and pins her to the wall of the club... she struggles, and the barbed arrow rips out, killing her instantly, but messily. Sharm Rhae knocks you down out of sight afterwards- so that the bodyguards don't know where it came from.

He whispers to you, "I've taken care of them... one dead, one dying... and another tripping on REALLY strong acid... are you okay?" He grasps his leg in pain...

[Thursday]

"Thats my type of woman...." Jake heads into the room looking for a computer of some sort.

[GG Crono]

Hunter goes over to the pack and opens it.

[Valkyrie Esker]

"I- I'm fine." Karen looks at Shram's leg. "Oh my God, you're hurt! Can you move?"

[Genericangstyposter]

Shinobi: There is a computer... and a place to jack in. You remember Sharm saying something about an input in your ear or something... there is an outlet in the computer, you might want to "plug yourself in."

GGCrono: Along with supplies, there is a list of names and addresses.

OOC: Instead of listing them all at once, I'm going to tell you there are five names, and in order to find them, all you have to do is say, "I'm going to look for the first person on the list," blah blah blah, something like that. 'kay?

VE: OOC: Its Sharm, I'll assume she said that.

IC: "I'm fine. I've had my arm blown off before... this is nothing, heh. Might need a little help walking, thats all."

[GG Crono]

Hunter smiles to himself, then returns to the dwarf.
"Worry not, I'm going to round my boys up and kick some undead booty!"

[Genericangstyposter]

The dwarf looks at you strangely. "Where did you learn such strange speech? I haven't a clue what you are saying."

[GG Crono]

"I'll tell you later. C'mon, we need to move! Those undead hordes aren't gonna destroy themselves, you know!"]

OOC:That's fine by me.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen nods, and helps Sharm up. "Okay, we'd better get out of here now, we might see a few more 'friends' if we stay up here."

[Genericangstyposter]

Hunter: "Well, they obviously aren't going to do that. What a silly notion."

He walks off to perform his duties.

Now I'm going to assume you'll want the first person on the list...

"Randall the Repugnant- He lives in the green house on, Gold Avenue, but he'll most likely be in the Bilgewater Pub."

Valkerie Esker: Just as you hold up Sharm, you see a flash of white light...

You're in a plain white room ... there isn't anything in here except a wall-length mirror, and red... spraypaint (hopefully) reading "Watch Out For Sharks."

There is no door.

And you are still holding Sharm Rhae... but his leg seems fine. He seems a little bit more frail... and even more attractive then he was before... a noble bearing...

OOC: VE: Karen now has a compulsion to lie with every single statement you make. I believe we discussed a little bit about this.

[Thursday]

Jake picks up the jack. "What the fuck?? Well here it goes. Jake puts the jack in the hole behind his ears. "This must be it. Now what do I do?"

[GG Crono]

Hunter decides to head down to the pub and ask about Randall.
(Getting wasted doesn't sound like a bad idea right about now...but it can wait.)

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen looks around the white room, and sees the Sharks message. "This is the third time I've seen that message now, I wonder what it means." As the words left Karen's mouth, she thought, 'It was only once before I've seen that message, not twice. Why did I say that?' Shrugging the thought away, She looks at the mirror to see what she looks like now.

[Genericangstyposter]

Shinobi: You are sucked into another world, pretty much... you are still conscious that you are there, and can pull the plug- but you are a little red anarchy symbol in a sea of black... you see some little squares... these must be the information.

But you hear something. Watch out... there are THINGS in here... and they can kill you.

GGCrono: It isn't hard to make it to the pub, as the streets are pretty much cleared. Luckily you don't run into any zombies or anything on the way.

You enter the pub, which is a really... uh... its a DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE. I mean its NASTY. Its a dirt floor, and you think that you see a rat scurry across the floor. Of course, there is nothing more disgusting then one of the men sitting at a table. People seem to be giving him a wide berth.

You can't tell whether this is due to infamy or his stench.

Yeah- this is probably the guy.

VE: Sharm Rhae speaks to you, "You've seen this message three times before? Thats odd."

You are wearing very colourful clothing. Actually, thats an understatement.

They're LOUD. Exceedingly loud.

Not only that, but you seem to have some sort of animal ears... and a... tail?

OOC: You should tell me what kind of animal you would like Karen to be- she is your character and I'd feel bad saying that they are cat ears, or whatever.

[Thursday]

"Woah. This is fucked up. Looks like i have to go inside one of these things that must be files." Jake goes towards one of the files.

[Genericangstyposter]

Shinobi: You go towards it, and you get a SHOCK. Ouch. There must be some sort of tools on you...

[GG Crono]

Hunter taps Randall on the shoulder. "Hey. If you're not too busy, I could really use your help in purging some undead hellspawn and the like. After we're done with that, I'll buy you some beers."

[Thursday]

Jake checks himself for tools.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen says to Sharm, "No, I've only seen it twice before." 'Arg, there it is again!" Karen then registers the fact that she's an anthropomorph. "Ack, I'm an animal!"

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: The man stands six foot six tall, and he is COVERED in hair. His brown beard has all sorts of food and God-Knows-What in it... and he REEKS of onions, cheese, and who the HELL knows what.

"Beers? Well of course I'll help" He belches, "BRAAAAAAAAAAAP! I'll go to my station, you look for the others."

Shinobi: You have several strange shaped things that you could probably interpret as wrenches and the like... it looks like you're going to have to "extract" the file manually.

VE: OOC: What KIND of animal. You can decide. :p

[Thursday]

OOC: Roun, I'm fucking confused.

IC: Jake looks for a readme file. ^^;;;

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: Well, basically you have a wrench, you have a file... what you have to do is "extract" the file manually using the wrench. Simply put in adventure game terms- use the wrench on the file. ;)

[GG Crono]

(That was easier than I thought it'd be...now, who's next on the list...)

[Thursday]

Jake uses the wrench to extract the file. "Woo."

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono:

"Alicia Silvertongue- Twenty First Street Weapon Shop"

That name is familiar... that girl in the bar's name was Alicia... hmm...

Shinobi: You are almost done removing the file, when you hear a growling. Something scratches at your back... and you instinctively reach for your defense program... (a knife, basically)

[Valkyrie Esker]

OOC: Really? I can be any type? Whoo.

IC:

More specifically, she was a kitsune, a fox-spirit thingy of japanese legends. She remembered vaguely back to her studies in cryptzoology about these things...

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: I should have specified. Any REAL creature. ^^;

[Thursday]

Jake takes out his knife like thingymabobber. Jake jumps at the creature, trying to knife its face area.

[Genericangstyposter]

The creature looks like a gigantic dog... you take a swipe at it with your knife, scratching it. It bleeds zeroes and ones... falling into the endless void...

It strikes at your right side and hits you... you feel a slight electric shock in your left arm in the real world- but you manage to stay jacked in.

[GG Crono]

(Alicia, huh? It's GOT to be a coincidence. Hmm...maybe an ancestor, or something? Or maybe she got sucked here too? In any case, if she starts making out with me, I won't protest.)
Hunter then heads for the weapon shop.

[Thursday]

"Ouch! C'mere you mutt!" Jake jumps on its back and attempts to stab it until it dies a short, painful, binary death.

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: As you head towards the weapons shop, you see an old lady trying to run away from a couple of zombies... but she trips and falls. "Ah! Please don't kill me... no!"

Shinobi: You miss jumping on its back, but you manage to get a good stab in its back. It doesn't look too good now. It tries to scratch at you, but it misses.

[GG Crono]

Hunter rushes forward, sword drawn, and tries to swiftly decapitate the zombies.

[Thursday]

Jake holds his knife by the blade. "Here it goes." Jake throws the knife at the dogs neck.

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: Your attempt to run up to both zombies and somehow miraculously decapitate them fails miserably, and you end up tripping on a stone... however you manage to get up quickly. The zombies notice you now, and start advancing.

Shinobi: Luckily, even though you don't have training with knife throwing... it manages to stick itself inside of the hound, making it one dead program. It falls apart completely... zeroes and ones flying everywhere... the dagger goes "clink" against the seemingly nonexistant floor.

[GG Crono]

Hunter rights himself and assumes what he thinks is a good defensive stance, ready to attack the zombies as they approach him.

[Thursday]

Jake picks up the knife and goes back to extracting the program.

[Valkyrie Esker]

OOC: Sorry. Just replace all that with just I look like a fox-woman thingy.

[GG Crono]

OOC: Mmm...fox-woman. Secksay. :kissy:

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: The zombies slowly creep towards you ever so slowly. One of them takes a swipe at you when... uh... "he," gets close, but misses you by a mile.

Shinobi: You extract the file no problem. You learn that this woman was apparently keeping people in her basement and torturing them for her pleasure... ick... thats probably all they need to know. It would most likely be safe for you to jack out, now.

Valkyrie Esker: Sharm Rhae looks confused at me, "Excuse me, darling, I don't believe I understand you fully... you're confusing me."

[GG Crono]

As one of them closes in, Hunter attemps a wide slash.

[Thursday]

Jake jacks off (HAHAHA). Jake then goes down into the bar to grab a beer and wait for Karen, Sharm, and his teammates. "Hopefully they're OK...."

[Valkyrie Esker]

karen turns to Sharm. "What do you mean, I'm obviously... a... fox..." Karen trails off as she stares at the splendor that is Sharm in his current state.

[Genericangstyposter]

You manage to lop its arm off, but it doesn't seem to care much... it comes up to you and whacks you in the face. Lucky it didn't scratch you, but it hurts quite a bit. The second one is almost close enough to strike at you.

Shinobi: Unfortunately, none of them come... but Mr. Johnson does show up.

"It seems that the rest of your teammates skipped out... but they did the job. Here is your pay," He types a number into his laptop, "It should be in your bank account, now. I look forward to doing business with you in the future."

He then walks off, leaving you.

Valkyrie Esker: "Yes, yes you are, my darling." For once in his life, he looks unaffected. "Hmm... this CERTAINLY isn't home. I'm glad. I really can't stand being around all of that death... and you're here..." he smiles at you.

[GG Crono]

Hunter triues to stab the closer one in the head.
(Damn...I am NOT used to melee combat. I wonder if I can get a crossbow or something later...)

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: I believe I mentioned earlier that the sword is magical... its kinda helping you... uh... A LOT.

IC: You connect... purplish green ichor oozes out of its head, and it slumps to the ground.

[Thursday]

OOC: Im doen for the night. and Roun. "I appreciate doing business with you in the future" does not make any sense.

[GG Crono]

Hunter removes the sword and then swings it at the other zombie.

OOC:Magical or not, it would still take some getting used to. At least, I think so.

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: This would be true, normally- but this sword makes it so that someone who does not know how to wield a sword can do so with normal proficiency. Without that little bit of magic, you wouldn't even be able to hold it right. But you would still THINK that you were doing bad, most likely.

IC: You slice its rags off, leaving a very naked zombie.

[GG Crono]

OOC: Ooooh...ok. Sorry.

Internally thanking his lucky stars that the zombie's genitals have already rotted away, Hunter jams his sword through it's chest.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen blushes, and looks away. "You shouldn't say such things about me, I'm not beautiful."

[Genericangstyposter]

Luckily for you, it works... and more of that lovely stuff oozes out, getting all over your sword (you have a rag in your pocket for the purpose of cleaning your sword).

OOC: In the future don't say "I stab through his chest," say "I _try_ to stab him through the chest."

Valkyrie Esker: "Don't say that! Its a lie." He reluctantly, but somehow regally kisses your cheek.

[GG Crono]

OOC: Damn, sorry, my bad. I remember, I just kinda slipped.

Hunter wipes off his sword on the closest patch of grass, then tunrs to the old lady. "Are you allright, ma'am?"

[Genericangstyposter]

"Thank you, Constable Hunter. You've always done a good job of protecting us." She smiles at you, gives you a copper piece, and goes back to her business.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen warmly reciprocates the kiss Sharm gives her. "That," she said after they were done, "was possibly th best kiss I have ever had. 'What am i saying, that WAS the best!'

[GG Crono]

He gives her the copper piece back, and says "Keep it. The fact that you're safe is thanks enough."
Before she can respond, Hunter enters the weapon shop.

[Genericangstyposter]

Valkyrie Esker: He stares into Karen's eyes for a second... the insanity is gone from his eyes... well, almost.

He shakes his head, afraid he would get lost, "Now how do you propose we get out of here, darling? There doesn't seem to be very much of... well... a door."

You notice his clothing for the first time. Instead of a ripped up tee shirt and jeans, he is wearing some relatively frilly stuff... almost like a Victorian noble.

EDIT: OOC- something I forgot to mention, VE, is that you can turn into a fox as long as nobody is looking. You may or may not need this, but its cool. :p

[Valkyrie Esker]

karen looks around the room. "That mirror looks a bit odd, doesn't it, Sharm?"

OOC: now, if I tuern into a fox, then someone sees me in fox form, does that affect it?

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: No. They'd see you as a fox. However, you can't change back while they are looking at you. Shouldn't be too much of a problem if you are a fox. Also... damn me- you figured it out already.

IC: Sharm goes up to the mirror and touches it. It starts rippling.

[GG Crono]

OOC: Once again, I must bugger off for the night. :(
I should be able to check back early tommorow morning, though.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen stares at the rippling mirror. "It must be magic! That's the only explanation!"

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: Okay- baibai!

Valkyrie Esker: Sharm takes your hand. "Only one way to find out..."

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen holds his hand with obvious enjoyment.

[Genericangstyposter]

"We have to step through..."

Saying that, he starts heading towards the mirror with you...

[GG Crono]

OOC: Okay, I'm back. And if I want to, I can stay up allll night tonight. :D

I will now enter the weapon shop. (BTW, if you don't mind my asking, do I have any money on me?)

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: You can check your pack.

IC: Unfortunately, you don't see the woman you are looking for. In fact, the only person here is an old looking man... your Art Professor... Dr. Jameson?

Why is he behind the counter of a weapon's shop?

[GG Crono]

Hunter looks at the man wide-eyed... (Okay...think rationaly, Willard...it's probobly not him.)
"Um, hello...has Alicia Silvertoungue been here lately?

[Genericangstyposter]

"Well, if it isn't my favorite student! Hmm... she'll be by in a little bit. Why don't you stay for a little while."

OOC: I don't know when this will come into play, but there might end up being no internet connected to my computer later today- and tomorrow I am packing up my stuff and heading home. Just so you all know.

[GG Crono]

"Hmm...well, okay. I guess the undead hordes could wait a little. Heh."
(Hold on a sec...I have an idea!)
"Maybe you can help me...the other day, I hit my head really hard, and I've been forgetting lots of things...would you mind telling me some things about yourself and about me?"

[Genericangstyposter]

"Hahaha... don't try to play that old trick on me again, Constable Hunter. Hahaha... oh boy... you're just a laugh and a half."

[GG Crono]

(Damn, so much for that plan.) "Damn, I really thought I'd get you this time!"
After saying this, Hunter checks his pack to see if there's any money within.

[Genericangstyposter]

Inside is a money purse with approximately twenty irregular chunks of gold in it.

[Valkyrie Esker]

OOC: Roun, I have no idea what to say right now, so could you just post the next part?

[GG Crono]

(Hmm...this sword seems to know what it's doing better than I do...still, I'd feel better if I had a good missle weapon as well.)
"Do you have a good crossbow in stock? If so, how much for it?"

[Genericangstyposter]

Valkyrie Esker: Allright...

You pass through the mirror and come into an open field. Still clocks fill the landscape... and ducks about the size of a buffalo roam the plains. You are obviously in somebody's dream.

Sharm Rhae stands staring at the scenery, twitching... but elegantly twitching.

GGCrono: "Since when did you use a crossbow? I have your thunderstick here, though... you asked me to repair it. I'd say that would be worth about five pieces of gold. Still gonna be a little unreliable."

[GG Crono]

"I've...been trying to learn how to use a few new weapons. Just in case. In any case, I'll take that...thunderstick now."

[Genericangstyposter]

The thunderstick looks like an utterly archaic rifle- like, one of the first kinds (or even earlier). You'll have to use two hands while wielding it, and it will be pretty hard to load... a very slow weapon. It takes one round to load and one round to fire. But if you're at a distance, it would be a good idea to pick it up.

"That will be five gold pieces."

[Valkyrie Esker]

"It reminds me of some of Monet's works." 'Arg, i meant Dali, dammit!

[Genericangstyposter]

A purple cow with green spots walks up to you. "Good day, ma'am- can I escort you and this fine gentleman to the fair?"

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen looks at the Purple cow. "I don't see why you shouldn't escort us."

[Genericangstyposter]

"Well then, walk this way... dobidipolimus!"

The cow starts walking upright- walking four steps forward and a step back, repeating, and then jumping up in the air.

Sharm Rhae follows- walking four steps forward, a step back, repeating, and then jumping up in the air.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen looks at the odd spectacle, and shrugs. "When in Greece, as the saying goes." Karen starts following the odd pair.

[Genericangstyposter]

You arrive at the fair... and from the outside, it looks like it wouldn't even fit one of you. In fact, its a little Chinese finger trap. The cow enters it, and dissappears.

[GG Crono]

Hunter hands him five of the gold pieces, then decides to just wait for Alicia. He leans up against the wall, and then examines the thunderstick. "I don't s'pose you have a holster for it?"

[Genericangstyposter]

"Hols...ter?"

OOC: Its the size of a rifle. There are no holsters for it. -_-

[GG Crono]

OOC: Yeah they do. I've seen them. They get strapped to your back. Ever seen "Army of Darkness"? ...maybe the things like that aren't call holsters, I dunno.

IC: "Nevermind." Hunter decides to just wait quietly and gather his thoughts.

[Genericangstyposter]

After a while... Alicia enters...

"Hey, sexy!" She grabs you, and kisses you...

Yeah. Its the same girl.

[GG Crono]

(Yup, it's her...I wonder, is this some sort of alternate her, or did she get sucked here too? I probobly shouldn't ask...)
"Hi there. How'd you like to help me kick the crap out of all those pesky undeads?"

[Genericangstyposter]

She smiles and unsheathes a two handed sword from the sheathe in her back. She is pretty small, but she seems to be holding it with no problem.

"YARGH!"

She runs out the door.

[GG Crono]

"Huh?"
Wondering what just happened, Hunter follows her, and, just in case, unsheaths his sword.

[Genericangstyposter]

You see her run off into the distance, apparently happy about this chance to kill things.

Weird.

The next name on the list appears in your head...

"Robert Morrison - his house on 31st Bridge Street."

[GG Crono]

Hunter shrugs, sheaths his sword, then heads over to the adress.

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: Sorry- I got sidetracked.

IC: You do not make it there, however... as you are encountered by two zombies and a skeleton.

[GG Crono]

Hunter quickly draws his sword. "Bring it."
He charges and attempts to impale the first zombie.

[Genericangstyposter]

You skewer the zombie... but in doing so the other zombie and the skeleton close in on you from both sides...

[GG Crono]

Hunter panic for a moment. (Okay, think fast, Hunter!)
Hunter tries his best to deliver a high kick to the Skeleton's chest as it approches.

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: ... No... I don't believe I said that.

Show me where it does.

[GG Crono]

OOC: I have no idea why I said that. It doesn't really make any sense. You don't have a taser... especially here. I'm not trying to be a jerk- its more for balance then anything.

[GG Crono]

OOC: Alrighty then. I'll just edit my post.

[Genericangstyposter]

IC: You aren't skilled in brawling, but you manage to hit it in the chest, knocking out a few ribs.

The zombie scratches at you... and your left arm is bleeding, and possibly infected. The skeleton tries to whack you with his mace, but he barely misses your head.

[GG Crono]

Hunter clutches his arm in pain. (DOn't scream...do NOT scream...holy fucking SHIT, this hurts...) Mustering up all his strength, Hunter tries to ram his sword into the other zombie.

[Genericangstyposter]

The second it takes you to clutch your arm, the skeleton hits you with his mace in the middle of your armor. It doesn't do much damage but it HURTS.

You slice the zombie's legs off.

It crawls slowly towards you with its arms...

[GG Crono]

Hunter tries to stomp on the zombies head.

[Genericangstyposter]

You stomp on the zombies head, causing it to flow everywhere with guts and rotting flesh, causing you almost to slip... you have to gain your bearing, and the skeleton gets an extra attack.

First, he swipes at your head, and misses by a mile. He then aimlessly tries to hit you, and hits you in your armor again... bruising you, slightly.

OOC: I won't be here for a while- just wanted to make a post before I left for home- moving from the dorm.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen stares wide-eyed at the cow's disappearance. "That did NOT just happen!"

[GG Crono]

Huntrer tries his best to irght himself, then swings at the sketelon.

[Thursday]

Tired of waiting, Jake exits the club. He looks around for hs teammates.

OOC: I won't be posting much, its the weekend, and I have an overactive social life :P

[Genericangstyposter]

VE: "Then what did, happen, my dear?" Sharm Rhae asks.

His face seems to be melting, although he seems to be obvlivious to it.

"Your... your EYES!" He yells...

GGCrono: OOC: You die... ;)

IC: Your sword decapitates the skeleton, rendering him useless. It slumps to the ground and drops its mace.

Shinobi: As soon as you start looking for them, you hear a voice:

"Diekladisderfashisklageneal... corpulent mothers attack freelance typewriters."

You see a flash of white light, and you are in a tiny room. Almost closetlike... there is a mirror- and a book titled "Watch Out For Sharks." The author's name is scratched out.

[GG Crono]

Hunter just stands there, breathing heavily, for a moment. He then checks his pack for anything he could use to treat or wrap the wound.

[Genericangstyposter]

You have some bandages to wrap it up- however it is infected and should be treated... who knows what a zombie infection will do to you.

You are right next to the address you need to go to.

[GG Crono]

Hunter goes in, and decides that after he talks to the guy, he;s gong to see about getting his wounds treated.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen just puts a hand to her eyes, not wanting to say anything.

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: You enter the building to find a body on the ground- bloody and beaten. It looks like it was once some sort of priest. In fact, it has a religious symbol hanging around its neck... it looks so familiar... and it has an overwhelming warmth to it...

VE: "YOU'RE MELTING! Don't go away, Karen... don't melt away..."

[GG Crono]

He decides to examine the symbol more closely.

[Genericangstyposter]

The body grabs your neck and starts choking you.

[GG Crono]

Hunter attemps to break free from the body's grip and draw his sword.

[Genericangstyposter]

It refuses to let go! The circulation to your head is cut off! Luckily, though- you get your sword... but you're fading fast...

[GG Crono]

Still struggling to get free, Hunter attempts to sever the zombie's neck...

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: Who said it was a zombie?

IC: You sever its head clean off... but it still keeps choking you! You start feeling a little dizzy... but you can still act.

[GG Crono]

With a confused look on his face, Hunter attempts to sever the arms.

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen tries to grab for Sharm's hand before he dissolves forever.

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: After the arms are severed, the hands lose their grip and they fall on the ground helplessly.

Valkyrie Esker: As you grab Sharm's hand, you seem to be in a small white room with a white door.

"Thank God you're okay, Karen." He gives you a giant hug, "No more melting on me, okay?"

[Valkyrie Esker]

"Hey, we're back where we started from!"

[GG Crono]

Hunter takes a moment to catch his breath, then decides to examine the body.

[Genericangstyposter]

GG Crono: There is nothing on the body save a few gold pieces and the same holy symbol, which has now gone cold. As you examine it closer, you notice that it is a golden cross with a dead snake wrapped around it.

VE: "Wait a second... let me try something."

Sharm lets go of your hands and the same scene plays out- everything melting- death everywhere... monkeys ripping up babies and making them into hamburger meat... he holds your hand- and the room appears again.

"Uh... lets not let go."

[GG Crono]

Hunter decides to pocket the gold pieces and the holy symbol.
(Damn...my arm still hurts...) Hunter then decides to look around and see if he can find anything to treat the wound with. (If the dead guy owned the house, it shouldn't be a problem...if someone else lives here, I'll tell them it was an emergency.)

[Valkyrie Esker]

Karen loos at Sharm. "You know, I was just thinking that, actually."

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: The symbol burns a little bit as you touch it, but you manage to put it in your pack. You now have four more gold pieces and a strange amulet-holy-symbol-thing. Rejoice.

Valkyrie Esker: Sharm Rhae opens the door- which leads into a long, luxurious hallway.

[GG Crono]

Hunter decides to look in any draws/shelves/cabinets/ect for something to treat his wound with.

[Genericangstyposter]

You find nothing that would help with your wound, unless you can somehow use fresh fish and carpenter's nails.

A thought enters your mind... you doubt that it is your own. "I'm afraid that is the man you are looking for, on the ground."

[GG Crono]

(Okay...either I've got a guardian angel, or the zombie poison is making me hear voices. Either way, I should go elsewhere. Maybe the next person on my list can treat this...)

[Genericangstyposter]

The next person on your list (conveniently enough) says:

"Priestess Mary Lou Tungston, Gold Street Temple"

[GG Crono]

Hunter decides to head there as quickly as he can, hoping not to run into more undead.

OOC: I'm gonna be buggering off for tonight. I'll pick up in the morning.

[X_countryguy]

OOC: hey there, hi there, ho there. After a long and exausting (but very very satisfying) trip to Disneyworld, I'm ready to RP with the best of you.

I'm goingto start two actions if you don't mind :p

IC: Well seeing that I'm not decked out in a Bond Suit (from what I can tell) I look into the mirror. I also check all places of possible inventory on me.

OOC again: I've got work for a while and I hope to see the Matrix so I'm going to be late as usual.

[GG Crono]

OOOC: Aaand I'm back again. :)

[Genericangstyposter]

X_Countryguy:

Well, to put it bluntly, you are seven feet tall and blue. Other then that, you look pretty normal. You have on you a small (for you, anyway) green rattle (not the baby's kind). Thats about it.

You also feel more... honorable then normal.

OOC: Your character now UNCONSCIOUSLY follows an honor code: he will not hurt anyone unless they attack first, and he will tell the truth if the other person has been truthful to them (at least, if they seem to be truthful). You should also try your best to be chivalrous to people that you meet. Liars will annoy you, and those who betray will enrage you.

GGCrono: You run into the temple- in which a vampire is attacking the priestess.

"A little help, please!"

[GG Crono]

Hunter rushes up and attempts a swift decapitation.

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: Umm... okay.

IC: The vampire swings at your gut, knocking you down on the ground. She then has time to go up to you and STOMP... right before your nuts, but not actually hitting them. She gives you a sexy fanged smile.

[GG Crono]

Hunter glares at it...he then says, "Holy shit, what the hell is that??" and points behind it, and immediately rights himself and aims the point of his sword at the vamp's heart.

[Thursday]

"Back here again?" Jake looks in the mirror.

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: "Do you think I'm going to fall for that old trick?"

She turns into a bat and flies away.

Shinobi: As you look in the mirror, you notice that you are wearing a brown trenchcoat with a fedor to match... brown suitpants, and a cigarette in your mouth. You notice behind you a brown desk that wasn't there before, and you have a brown office door.

[Thursday]

OOC: Whats a fedor?

IC: "Jesus Christ Superstar...I look like Dick Tracy..."

[GG Crono]

Hunter stumbles and falls after stabbing air where the vampire was. Righting himself, he tunrs to the priestess. "You alright?"

[Genericangstyposter]

Shinobi:

OOC: Yeah, think Dick Tracey-type hat.

GGCrono: The priestess calmly walks up to you. "Thanks, I don't think she wanted to be outnumbered. She might be back, though. Is there a way I can help you, Constable?"

[GG Crono]

"Well, perhaps you could help me with the whole undead situatioan...And also," he added, presenting his arm, "do you think you can help this? A zombie bit me."

[Thursday]

Jake goes out the office door.

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: "A zombie bite? Oh, great... well, drink this."

She hands you a bottle of green, pungeant liquid.

"I'm off to cure more people, and such."

After she leaves, a voice from somewhere tells you something, "Don't trussst her, itss poissssson..."

Shinobi: Before you can open the door a tall brown haired woman with brown eyes wearing a brown dress opens the door to your office. "Detective! Detective! I NEED your help!" She had a nice body- long legs with an hourglass figure... an innocent looking face, and a mole on her right cheek.

[GG Crono]

Hunter looks at the green bottle, thinking... (Who should I trust? Her, or the voice in my head? There's got to be SOME way I could test this stuff...ah, the infection doesn't hurt very badly...if it worsens, I'll take my chances. But I WILL look for a way to test it. maybe I could feed it to a rat or something. Now...whats next on my list?)

[Genericangstyposter]

Your stomach feels horrible, like someone was sticking knives in it... you feel like you might vomit.

[GG Crono]

(Aiiee...okay, gotta think quickly...ah, what the hell, this'll probobly kill me if I do nothing anyway...here goes nothing!)
WIth that, Hunter closes his eyes and downs the potion.

[Valkyrie Esker]

(Rountree, I apologize. I know I said that I wouldn't give up on this, but I gotta. My life has too many things going on right now! ;_; )

[Genericangstyposter]

VE: No problem! You can come back if and when things slow down.

GGCrono:

The potion tastes HORRIBLE... worse then any cod liver oil concoction could ever taste. Grack! However... you start to feel better and better.

You hear the voice, "Thiss will lead to your DOOM, my friend."

[Thursday]

"What's up toots?"

[Genericangstyposter]

"Somebody stole my diamonds... and killed my dog!" She gives you the eyes, the kind of eyes a dame gives you if she wants something.

[GG Crono]

"Yeah, okay, doom, whatever."

Hunter checks his list again.

[Genericangstyposter]

GG Crono: "Sir Arthur of Tillimonde of Generic Castle #433."

Fortunately for you- you saw the road the castle leads to!

Unfortunately, this castle is a few miles out of your way.

[X_countryguy]

Ok... well I'm going to look for some people to help, (and to see if I can get a clue as to what I'm doing and who I am)

[Genericangstyposter]

XCG: You're in the middle of the woods... but finding a small bit of civilization is not an unreasonable thing, as you see a path before you.

Unfortunately, there is a fork in the path- it goes three different directions:

Left, Straight, and Right.

[X_countryguy]

Then I shall start upon the left path.

[Genericangstyposter]

Along the path you encounter a skunk...

He just keeps staring at you for a while, and then runs off into the woods.

[GG Crono]

Hunter sighs, and sets off for the long walk, alwayys keeping his guard up.

[Genericangstyposter]

Along the way you come to a beggar, holding out a tin cup. "Spare some gold for a poor man?"

[GG Crono]

Hunter gives the beggar a couple of gold pieces, then continues on his way. "Don't spend it all on booze."

[Thursday]

"Take me to the crime scene, toots."

[X_countryguy]

Well, I'll comtinue on the path until something interesting happens or I reach a town.

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: A little put off by your comment, but happy for the money... he bows his head and then goes off to the food store.

Shinobi: "I'll show you the way."

Five minutes later...

You're outside and inside of your automobile- an old Ford car, and she is driving an Oldsmobile. She starts driving towards her house, and you follow her...

...eventually a suspicious looking vehicle pulls up next to you, and starts ramming your vehicle to the side.

X_Countryguy: After a while of walking, something drops on your head and covers your eyes. "Guess who!?"

[X_countryguy]

*Uhh... it's not my brother is it?

[GG Crono]

Hunter continues down the road until he meets his destination and/or the next hazzard/person in need/monster/plot device/ect.

[Genericangstyposter]

XCG: "Yes, I am not your brother. I am actually just a leaf, floating to the ground."

He lets go to reveal a small teenage boy with a... skunk tail?

GG Crono: You come across a box that says magical plot device.

[GG Crono]

Huntre shrugs and opens the box.

[Genericangstyposter]

Inside it you find some strange looking bullets for your thunderstick, and a note reading "watch out for sharks."

A sauhaugin (shark-man) with a long spear pops out of nowhere and starts chanting.

[GG Crono]

Hunter quickly tries to simultaniously put some distance between him and the Sagagin and load the thunderstick.

[Thursday]

OOC: OOO drive scene :D

IC: Jake drives sraight, then does a 180 and drives straight at the other car.

[X_countryguy]

"Well hello there. What can I do you for?"

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: You succeed in loading the thunderstick... and got a fair distance away from the sauhagin.

It finishes its chanting, and a bubble appears around it. You're not sure exactly what this means, but its probably not good.

He starts the chanting again...

Shinobi: You ram into the car's head... sending it spiraling backward.

As soon as you straighten yourself back, you realize that there are more cars coming for you- at least three.

XCG: "Why, its what _I_ can do for you. You're alone, in the woods, and you happened to come across ME! I am Vinny, the all-powerful GENIUS, charming, handsome (and above all modest) changeling in the world. Lucky for you, I know my way around."

[GG Crono]

(My sword is pretty sweet, but I have to say, it feels GOOD to have a gun in my hands again, no matter how crude of one it is.)
Hunter takes aim with the thunderstick and fires.

[Genericangstyposter]

You are knocked back a little bit due to the recoil, but not by much.

It appears that the sahugin was not expecting such a powerful weapon... it penetrates the bubble. Unfortunately, it does not hit him at all, and he finishes chanting.

A blue bolt flies at you, and you are hit by it! You feel a chill throughout your body.

[GG Crono]

Hunter is quite disoriented due to the blast. Doing his best to push through it, he tries to right himself and reload the thunderstick.

[X_countryguy]

"Well that certainly sounds excellent. How about this? You get me to the nearest town/village and I'll make sure we get there ok. That would be a really good help to me."

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: The creature starts chanting yet again- if you hit him right, you might be able to disrupt his spell.

XCG: "Village? What year do YOU live in, buddy? Its the nineties, and time for me to get my blue suede shoes on."

He starts doing a small dance, "But I can get you to the nearest city, I suppose. But watch out for porcupines, they're a vicious lot. Of course, I've slain MILLIONS of bad things, so porcupines should be no problem! FOLLOW ME!"

He starts skipping off on his little pathway, neither going straight nor crooket... hopping every which way he can.

[GG Crono]

Trying his best to concentrate, Hunter once again aims and fires.

[Genericangstyposter]

And you blow his left arm clean off!

The shock of the fire knocks you back, though. Fortunately, the shock of losing his arm causes the shark to lose concentration, and he starts panicking, a fountain of blood gushing out of his body.

[X_countryguy]

OK, well I'm going to tail skunk man for a while until we get somewhere. (thrilling huh?)

OOC: Jazz concert to go to, I'll be back later tonight.

[Genericangstyposter]

"Skunk Man" stops in his tracks...

He leaps into your arms...

...its another "changeling" you suppose, only this one is charging at you full speed ahead.

"I'm going to kill you both, and then eat you for dinner!"

Vinny jumps out of your arms and draws his rapier.

"Enguarde! I am not afraid!"

[GG Crono]

Hunter decides to make a strategic withdrawl and let the SOB bleed to death.

[Genericangstyposter]

You successfully run away from him... but the sauhaugin mysteriously dissappears somewhere. You might meet up with him later...

[GG Crono]

Hunter looks around warily. He decides to keep the thunderstick loaded, just in case, and continues down the path.

[X_countryguy]

Well that's enough of a threat for me, but never the less, I will prepare to parry his oncoming attack, with the hopes of disarming him.

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: Along the path, you meet a young man.

"Good day, sir- do you have money to buy a loaf of bread from a poor man?"

XCG: OOC: You're going to parry with bare hands? Oh... wait... you're a big blue thing... ;)

IC: You easily knock the dagger out of his hand, but the creature is not discouraged- he almost takes a bite out of your left leg!

Vinny, oddly enough, starts doing a little dance...

"Chicken picken lickin' quicken dickin slickin thicken tricken micken bicken sicken!"

After Vinny is done with his silly chant, he makes it appear as if the trees are attacking the creature.

[X_countryguy]

OOC: Wait, I thought I had a club or something. Didn't I check my inventory? I don't know if I got a reply for that.

IC: Well we'll see how he likes my leg when I try to kick him.

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: You had a rattle. Not much for combat, but it may serve another purpose.

IC: You kick the creature in the head, sending him flying back on the ground, terrified at the tree menace.

Vinny stabs at him with his rapier, drawing blood from his torso, but severely injuring him.

The creature, on the ground, rips some leaves up on his wound while chanting... which miraculously makes his injuries dissappear.

[GG Crono]

"Sure."
Hunter gives the man a gold piece.

[Thursday]

"Oh Shit." Jake drives away as fast as he can, trying to avoid the cars.

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: "You hear that, boys? That means he has money. GET HIM!"

Three armed men jump from behind the bushes... and all four of the group surround you.

Shinobi: The woman picks up speed with you, and you keep following her to the scene of the crime.

One of the people in the cars behind you pulls out a tommy gun and starts shooting at you... your back window is shattered.

[GG Crono]

Hunter draws his sword with one hand, and with the other, he grabs the thunderstick and blasts it into the closest bandit at point-blank.

[Genericangstyposter]

A hole is blown in the bandit's chest, gore spurting in every which direction, knocking EVERYONE down, including you.

Ah, well- one bandit down, three to go.

The other bandits are currently busy getting up and ready to not only rob, but KILL you, now.

[GG Crono]

Hunter tries his best to right himself, and assumes a combat stance, ready to attack as soon as they appraoch.

[Genericangstyposter]

They surround you with their daggers, circling you- getting ready to tear you to shreds.

[GG Crono]

Hunter looks the men over. (I may not make it out ofthis alive...ah, what the hell, I've had a good run. And I still havn't discredited the possibility that this is all a dream.)
And with that thought, Hunter lunges at the nearest bandit.

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: With what? You were holding the thunderstick... ah, well.

You tackle the first man you see, bringing him to the ground and accidentally (but luckily) disarming the brigand. The others are caught off guard by your sudden and strange act.

[GG Crono]

OOC: D'oh! I meant to say that I put the Tthunderstick away...sorry. :( I was supposed to be lunging with my sword.
Again, sorry. Should I edit my post?

EDIT: Post edited.

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: Actually, no. What has been done has been done, I'm afraid.

[GG Crono]

OOC: Very well. I'll undo my edit and roll with this.

Hunter gets up, then grabs his sword and stabs at the fallen bandit's chest.

[Genericangstyposter]

He is easily dispatched...

However, one of the other bandits slices at your hamstring, keeping you down for a while.

[X_countryguy]

IC: ok, well I think I'll try to get to my assailant and pick him up for some questioning before he can get his weapon or bearings back.

[GG Crono]

Groaning in pain, Hunter tries to roll out of the way and swing at one of the bandits.

[Genericangstyposter]

XCG: He struggles and bites, but you are able to hold him away from you by his shirt.

GGCrono: You barely roll away, in fact having your armor knicked by the dagger's blade. You do not succeed in hitting one of the bandits, unfortunately, but you manage to get up.

The second bandit tries to bash you in the head with a huge club, but since you are no longer on the ground, he manages to hit his partner on the toe.

The first bandit starts attacking the first- and they are in a full out fight with each other.

[GG Crono]

Hunter decides to quietly slip away before they remember who they were trying to rob.

[Genericangstyposter]

You finally make it to the castle, only realizing that they shut it down and replaced it with a line of fast food restaurants.

Okay, not really...

...its everything you'd expect a castle to be. Except for the fact you weren't anticipating the more lovely things, such as the dirt floors with straw and dog feces all over the floor. Standard mideaval castle, actually. (Just ask Sir Percival)

[GG Crono]

Trying his best to ignore the lingering odors, Hunter goes to find the man he came here tofind.

[Genericangstyposter]

But before you can find him, Sir Arthur finds you.

"I've heard of the undead menace, Constable. I'm gathering MY men as soon as possible, thank you."

The voice in your head speaks, "Do not trust him- he is going to stab you... GET HIM FIRST! KILL HIM! KILL HIM! KILL HIM!"

Is it in your head? Wait... it seems to be coming from your pocket.

[GG Crono]

Hunter says to the man "Thank you...um, where's your bathr...lavatory?"

[Genericangstyposter]

He squints at you, oddly...

"You mean the Chamber Pot?"

He points you in the right direction. A TINY room with a chamber pot in it... it SMELLS. There is also a basin of water, but it doesn't look as if it is very clean.

[GG Crono]

Makeing sure that noone's looking, Hunter checks his pockets.

[Genericangstyposter]

The amulet that you picked up before is glowing.

"Listen to me, Mac- he is OUT to GET you... trust me... trust me..."

It fades out for a second.

And it slaps into your chest, binding itself to you. "HAHAHA! I have been close enough to your body long enough to hitch along for the ride. This should be fuuuuuuuunn!"

You start feeling a little less... lawful. Not evil... but you feel like stealing stuff, or SOMETHING.

[GG Crono]

Hunter could swear he heard something, somewhere in the back of his head tell him try and get rid of the anulet...but he decides it's nothing. He looks in the mirror, and thinks, (Damn...this looks pretty good on me!) He heads out of the "bathroom", then reaches into his pocket and sees if there's anyone else on his list.

[Genericangstyposter]

OOC: You are still conscious that an amulet welding itself to your skin is probably not a good thing. I should have mentioned that.

IC: There is nobody on your list.

"THE CASTLE GATES ARE BEING STORMED!"

[GG Crono]

Deciding to worry abou tthe amulet later, Hunter loads his thunderstick (just in case), then draws his swoird and heads for the gates.

[Genericangstyposter]

You head for the gates... the tension mounts as the soldiers gather, trying to hold the gate back...

Unfortunately, you loaded your thunderstick while not using it. Not a bright idea with such an archaic piece of weaponry. It goes off, startling you and several other knights and wizards for a couple of seconds.

While they are disoriented, the army of zombies, skeletons, and vampires breaks through the gate.

[GG Crono]

(Whoa...must remember not to do THAT again.)
Hunter draws his sword, then charges into the fray, slashing at every undead stupid enough to be in his way.

[X_countryguy]

"All right, now who sent you?"

[Genericangstyposter]

XCG: "Who sent me? Who sent me? I'm HUNGRY! Nobody sent me, I just want to have a little nibble... a tiny little nibble of your flesh. Thats all I'm asking. Just enough to sate my appitite."

He gnashes at you, trying to bite you, but miserably failing, as he is out of reach. It seems that the creature is nothing more than a child in mentality and in age.

GGCrono: Oddly enough, you notice that the zombies and skeletons are all coming towards you, but are not attacking. They seem to be attracted to your amulet. You slice them down no problem. However, the vampires seem less than thrilled with your amulet.

"He isn't the Master! GET HIM!"

[X_countryguy]

"Have you tried asking for food? You might get a better response from that instead of just attacking random people."

[GG Crono]

Hunter looks to the incoming vampires. He assumes a battle stance, and with a yell of "Bring it!", he steps forward, ready to rip the vamps into shreds.

[Genericangstyposter]

XCG: "If you get me some meat, soon, I'll be more than happy to forget about you."

Vinny whispers in your ear, "Those critters will eat ANYTHING. I've seen some of them digest whole couches, it shouldn't be too much of a problem... but meat is a little different, I guess. Of course, I'm ALSO an expert hunter, so don't worry. I'm an expert at just about everything."

GGCrono: You slice a couple of them up, but they eventually back you into a corner, helpless. Your amulet starts glowing... a green fire engulfs the masses of vampires... and you start feeling a BIT less good.

[GG Crono]

Hunter is awestruck. he says to noone in particular, "What...the...hell?..." He tugs at the aumlet for a moment. It still doesn't seem to want to move. (What IS this thing?) Suddenly remembering where he is, Hunter raiases his sword and stays on guard. He has no way to be positive that all the undead are gone...

[Genericangstyposter]

All of the vampires are dead, and the skeletons and zombies are just standing there in front of you, waiting for a command it seems.

"I can give you POWER over these things, Hunter. You can use these things for GOOD, right? You can have them kill the bad things... that isn't so bad, is it?"

You don't need to think twice to know that it is the amulet speaking to you.

[GG Crono]

Hunter looks down at the amulet. "You...can give me control over the undead?" He decides to try something. "Attention, undead hordes: Dance!"

[Genericangstyposter]

The knights of the castle watch, bewildered at the undead squaredancing. One of the zombies is calling.

"Mmphgh rargh rargh *groan* *groan* *groan*, rargh rargh mmphgh *moan* *moan* *moan.*"

[GG Crono]

(This power is awesome! The amulet is right...I could use this for good...I could...but...this power...is it too risky?) Hunter takes a deep breath. "Attention, undeads!", he shouts, "I...I order you...I order you to kill yourselves! All of you!"

[Genericangstyposter]

They stare vacantly at each other for a moment, and then scratch their heads simultaniously. Then they start slicing each other up.

There is now a big ol' mess. Zombie and skeleton parts everywhere.

[GG Crono]

Hunter allows himself a bitter laugh, then turns to the knights and says, "These pests won't be bothering you anymore."

[Genericangstyposter]

The head knight pauses for a second.

"Possessor of Foul Magiks, I demand you to hand over that device."

[GG Crono]

"I wish I could...it has bound itself to me. If you know of a way to get it off, than please do so. I'll admit it was useful, but I'd be more than pleased to get rid of it."

[Genericangstyposter]

The knight listens, but does not believe, "We cannot suffer that... THING to be attached to you! Hand it over!"

He tries to rip it off of your skin, but it won't budge. It feels like your flesh is going to tear off... but he stops eventually.

"Foul Demon!"

He slices it off of you. Oddly enough, you aren't bleeding... or feeling any pain. In fact, it looks like your skin is intact.

[X_countryguy]

I whisper to Vinny "Alright well go and get kill us some meat and we'll feed this guy and be on our way."

[Genericangstyposter]

Vinny nods, smiles, and dashes off.

Hours later, he comes back with a package of ground beef from a supermarket.

[GG Crono]

Hunter rubs his chest where the amulet was. It tingles a bit, but is otherwise fine. He looks down at the amulet. "Since you got that acursed thing off me, I'll forgive you for calling me a demon. I think it would be in everyone's best interests if that thing was destroyed post-haste." He then draws his sword and drives it into the spot on the ground where the amulet lies.

[X_countryguy]

*thinks* "I'm still thinking too early here..."

OK, here's your meat. Don't let me catch you gnawing on me again.

[Thursday]

I'm out. Sorry Roun, I'm just not involved enough. Sorry:(

[Genericangstyposter]

GGCrono: Your sword is dented slightly by the amulet.

XCG: The creature eats the meat, and the packaging.

"Mmm... Grade A. Anyway, my name's Joey. You gave me food. You're my friend."

Shinobi: No problem.

[GG Crono]

Hunter is awestruck. "What...what the fuck IS this thing?"
After he regains his senses, he turns to the knight. "I don't suppose you have any ideas?"

[Genericangstyposter]

"Lock it up. Like we were going to do, rather than smash a sword into it which would do God knows what, maybe causing an explosion or something."
