Log:Game 179 (Meta, no ontology)

[09:21] <&Hebizuka> Well then, we'll begin. As I usually do, I'll copypaste the startgame fluff, and once that's done you will be in control. Questions first, equipment next. [09:21] <&Hebizuka> Ready? [09:21] <DanaLove> Shoot. [09:22] <&Hebizuka> *You are dead. Your life was probably complex and full of events of various kinds, but one thing is sure, you don't remember well what happened. As you watch your body and float upwards, you believe you will make it to the Other world. However, instead of going ahead to the next part of your afterlife, your soul was intercepted… [09:22] <&Hebizuka> After what seemed like a long dream, you wake up, in a new body similar from the one you had before you died - you seem to be feeling perfectly fine: no wounds, no illnesses, this new body feels spotless and perfect. Except that where you are isn't Hell, nor Heaven, and this isn't even a new life. You feel that you simply woke up from a bad dream. In short… You feel the same as ever. [09:22] <&Hebizuka> You stand up and notice that you are as naked as in the first day. Looking around you, you notice you're in a square room, with bland, gray walls made of what looks like concrete. No windows, and some kind of door ahead of you. Above you, white, fluorescent light. And hanging from the ceiling, in the corner, some sort of loudspeaker. * [09:23] <&Hebizuka> *It begins coughing noise, right before a voice comes out of it.* [09:23] <~SU_Tempest> [???] Ah, ah. She's woken up. Perfect. [09:23] <DanaLove> \\ I shift up and look to the speaker, rubbing my eyes \\ [09:25] <~SU_Tempest> [???] Hello, newcomer. Welcome in our realm, known as Mazeworld or just The Mazes. I'm fairly sure you have a lot of questions already... [09:26] * DanaLove then looked and found the loudspeaker. "Uh... y-yeah, you bet..." She cringed, remembering faintly how she died, the faint memories of her core identity still clinging, though much everything else was a scattered mess. "So... where am I exactly?" [09:27] <~SU_Tempest> [???] To put it shortly, you died. We however have intercepted your soul, which we thought was, well. Worthy enough of being saved. You were then brought here, you have one chance at what is essentially reincarnation. [09:28] <~SU_Tempest> [???] Your objective is to find your way out of the Mazes, preferably in a good shape. See this body of yours? No scars, no problems, no sickness. It's brand new, just like it was before... you might want to take good care of it. [09:29] * DanaLove thought of her shitty, negligent life, living in the now. The interception was her salvation, her guilt flooding back to her as she thought about her family. "Yes... I.... I understand. So, now I'm going to ask: where's my... everything? I'm naked and quite frankly, if this is my redemption, this may as well be slaughter..." [09:30] <~SU_Tempest> [???] Ah... Where are my manners. Please pardon me, I have forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Sergey Kovrov, though I am better known as one of the three GMs. We are the... administrators of this realm. [09:31] <~SU_Tempest> [Sergey] As for your question... Well. You will not stay naked for long. I'll come to this in a moment. [09:32] * DanaLove then stretched up and out, getting used to the ground to her feet once more. "Well then, Sergey, let's get on with it. I assume your time is precious." [09:32] <~SU_Tempest> [Sergey] You are a Contestant. And in order to find your way out of here, you will explore our realm in search of the Cardinal Amulets, four divine artifacts. Where are they, we can't tell you. That is up to you to find them. [09:32] <~SU_Tempest> [Sergey] Next up, if you want gear, I will let my colleague talk. [09:32] <&Hebizuka> *Another voice begins speaking; a feminine voice, this time.* [09:34] <&Hebizuka> Hi, Dana. I am Hebizuka Jinkou, another one of the GMs. If you want some gear, which includes something to cover your naked rear, I have to put you through the Contestant Personality Test™. Patented in 61 universes and proven to reveal the truth about yourself and give the appropriate gear. [09:34] <&Hebizuka> ...I think, at least. [09:34] * DanaLove took a mentl note of what he said. A lovely little challenge for her with plenty time to prepare. "I'll trade what I don't need or want. Just give it to me."

[10:56] <DanaLove> "Look, I'm not like... wait, humans? Here?" \\ Give Yoghurt \\ "I'm not from here, I just woke up in a bright room with speaker ports all around... looking for a .... thingy. I dunno. But, tell me about the other humans here and you can eat this." [10:57] <~SU_Tempest> *She still blankly glares at you, silently snatches up the offered yoghurt, and backs the hell away to the other corner of the room.* [10:57] <~SU_Tempest> [Jorou] Yeah... Thanks, I guess. .. [10:58] <~SU_Tempest> [Jorou] Well, there's plenty of humans, plenty of youkai, and plenty of other creatures too. And I don't like humans. They're scary. [11:00] <DanaLove> "I'm sorry if I scared you. I have no clue where I am. I'm as edgy as you I bet. I hope you like the food." \\ I show my face to the jorougumo before setting my helmet back onto my face after I conclude my speaking \\ "Just do me a favor and point me to someone who may have food or a place safe to lie my head. If you're interested, I can protect you while you take me there..." [11:00] <~SU_Tempest> [Jorou] No, no, I'm not interested.

There is a single Maze Citizen, which is a human being, sitting at one of the tables while reading what appears to be a huge grimoire. They carry a handgun, some sort of knife, and a handbag. You also spot a small object closer from where you are.* [11:13] <DanaLove> \\ I call out to the citizen \\ "Excuse me... did you see a spider-monster-thing pass by?" \\ I say with authority, trying to hide my intent of conversing more with the youkai \\ "The thing scuttled off while I was hunting it..." [11:13] <~SU_Tempest> [Citizen] Uh, what? No. No-one at all came in here, outside of you, in the last hour, sorry. [11:15] <DanaLove> "Mmmm... while I'm here.... you mind me asking what's this place like? I'm new here, unfortunately. It's been rough and I'm looking to trade for some food, or find a map. Think you can help or are you not interested?" [11:16] <~SU_Tempest> *The citizen lifts her head at you, giving you a good hard look of observation as though you came out of nowhere; and that is perhaps understandable given your "samurai biker" clothing style.* [11:16] <DanaLove> XD [11:17] <~SU_Tempest> [Citizen] You're new here, huh. Well I don't have a map nor do I see the point of having one, given I always stay in the sector. I do have food in my handbag. You wanna trade, show me what you got. [11:18] <DanaLove> "Yeah, sorry about the get-up. It's been a long day to say the least..." \\ What'll he take for the Honeywine \\ [11:18] <&Hebizuka> *The citizen is carrying the following: [Food] Dessert - Floating island. 1d20 * [11:19] <~SU_Tempest> [Citizen] Alcohol, huh? [11:19] <~SU_Tempest> [Citizen] I'll happily trade. [11:19] <&Hebizuka> *Confirm?* [11:20] <DanaLove> "I don't know if you drink but this is good stuff, get you drunk and not taste like battery acid. I'll take that happily" \\ Trade and snoop around, looking for history books, geography manuals, anything that may even remotely have some history or a map \\ [11:20] <~SU_Tempest> [Citizen] I've had honeywine before. I couldn't remember what I did AFTER drinking it for three days straight. [11:20] <&Hebizuka> *Trade done. You now carry the floating island.* [11:21] <DanaLove> \\ I chuckled in good spirits, hoping I've made a positive impression \\ [11:22] <&Hebizuka> *There are a few books about the Mazes, but they mostly talk about specific subjects: "Ninjas and toilets; why you must be careful", "A history of hitmen and hitwomen" and "The life of Lieutenant Gordon Grunder".* [11:24] <DanaLove> \\ I take the Gordon Grunder book and put it in my pack. Hell, it's still paper, right? \\ "Say, do you have to check these out or...?" [11:24] <&Hebizuka> *This counts as a Meaningless object. You can carry a max of 10 meaningless items.* [11:25] <~SU_Tempest> [Citizen] Librarian's not here, and they frown on people taking books without notice. But to be honest, the one librarian that works here is a total bitch. [11:26] <~SU_Tempest> [Citizen] I won't say a thing. *She winks.* [11:27] <DanaLove> "She won't miss one book.

Were you aware of any passing by?" [11:33] <&Hebizuka> [Meds] White tablet - Unidentified [11:33] <~SU_Tempest> [Sci] Spider monsters? What do you mean? Giant spiders? [11:34] <DanaLove> "Youkai." \\ Point to the pill \\ "And that is...?" [11:36] <~SU_Tempest> [Sci] Oh, Jorougumo? They're not mean, just crafty. Many are quite intelligent, in fact, and they tend not to bother us. [11:36] <~SU_Tempest> [Sci] As for this? It's mine. Why do you ask? [11:38] <DanaLove> "I have some medicine I could trade. And your help in teaching me identify drugs could help me if I find stray or stolen pills. In fact, if you have a little cash, I can sell you then half-price if you teach me what they do. Sounds alright?" [11:40] <~SU_Tempest> [Sci] *Blank stare.* That pill's mine. I can help you identify stuff you find but... I'm not telling you what -my- pill is, nor am I selling it. Furthermore I am not interested in buying meds, thank you. [11:41] <DanaLove> "Very well. Careful if you're out of the sector.

[11:54] <~SU_Tempest> [Hirer] Hi there. Sorry, before I tell you what is available, I need to know who you are. [11:55] <DanaLove> "Uh... name's Dana Love." [11:56] <~SU_Tempest> *The hirer types your name on his computer...* [11:56] <~SU_Tempest> [Hirer] Hmm, looks like you aren't in our database. Perhaps you would like to sign up? We are in need of contractors who are willing to take up various jobs. [11:57] <DanaLove> \\ Nods \\ "Sure, add me in. Also, I'm looking for something like a a large shopping center, a bazaar or what have you. I'm... uh... new to the sector. Forgive my clumsiness if I come off that way." [12:00] <~SU_Tempest> [Hirer] All right, welcome in the wonderful world of contract jobs. Come back here every so often to see if any new jobs are available; then take them up in the order you wish, whenever you wish. It could be anything; escorting people, cleaning up a room, being a bodyguard, etc. [12:01] <DanaLove> "Cleaning sounds fine enough for a first job. Just give me some directions and I'll take care of it." [12:03] <~SU_Tempest> [Hirer] Well let me check if there is a job I can give you. Employers work on the principle of reputation. The more jobs you complete successfully, the more you are recommended, and generally the higher the pay. [12:04] <~SU_Tempest> [Hirer] Since you just started, it's probably not going to be complicated. [12:04] <DanaLove> \\ I nod in acknowledgement, waiting for the list of jobs \\ [12:08] <~SU_Tempest> [Hirer] You're in luck, there is one job. A certain Brian needs someone - anyone - to escort him through a straightforward sector because he forgot his equipment at home. [12:09] <DanaLove> "Sure thing. If you have a map or directions of something for me, I'll pick the guy up." [12:12] <~SU_Tempest> [Hirer] No need to. Look behind my desk, there should be a disc shaped thing on the floor. [12:12] <&Hebizuka> *There is, indeed, a large pad on the floor.* [12:13] <DanaLove> \\ I step on the plate, my mental map already being made useless \\ "Haha, alright, when you're ready then." [12:15] <&Hebizuka> *You're teleported into a warehouse room. There is a male citizen here, with no bag, weapon, or anything; just clothes on his back. It probably is the Brian the hirer talked about.* [12:16] <DanaLove> "Brian, it's time to go. I'm your escort." \\ I call out to him \\ "While we're heading out, may as well chat, mmm? Where do you work?" [12:20] <~SU_Tempest> [Brian] Hey, thanks for accepting my little request. Well, I'm just a guy, yknow. I do odd jobs, maybe like you do. [12:20] <~SU_Tempest> [Brian] Anyway uh. It's straight ahead. It's just uh, I dunno if there's like monsters or anything so I'm expecting you'll cover me if there anything on the way, yeah? [12:21] <DanaLove> "I'm looking for a place to stay relatively cheap. I need a place I can call home, Brian. Do you know anywhere I can stay where the rent's low and there are stores nearby? I'm from a different sector, toukai specialist. I just need to plant my feet before I do any serious work." [12:22] <DanaLove> "And of course, I'll cover you. Just stay behind me." [12:23] <DanaLove> \\ Gets Battle-Ready \\ [12:24] <~SU_Tempest> [Brian] I dunno about that, ma'am. Ya need to be born here to be a resident, but maybe you can get by?
