[5/31/18 10:25:05 AM] Tempest#5018: "[Session start ; Session #100]" [5/31/18 10:25:54 AM] Tempest#5018: "First of all and before we start, do you want to go through the standard introduction with Dr Gage, or do you want to start off immediately in Arnett? Since you know the early game already, you can skip ahead some." [5/31/18 10:26:45 AM] Jade#9876: "let me flip a coin" [5/31/18 10:26:54 AM] Tempest#5018: "Sure, **/r 1d2**" [5/31/18 10:26:58 AM] Jade#9876: "Dr. Gage it is" [5/31/18 10:27:05 AM] Tempest#5018: "Or, that. Okay." [5/31/18 10:27:07 AM] Jade#9876: "(just used a real penny)" [5/31/18 10:29:09 AM] Tempest#5018: "_After what seems like an eternity, you wake up. You have a bit of trouble understanding what happened... The last thing you remember, you're not even sure what happened, but here you are now, slowly waking up from what seemed like a very long nap. The first thing you notice is that you're waking up in a hospital bedroom. It doesn't look like home or anywhere familiar._" [5/31/18 10:29:21 AM] Tempest#5018: "_The next thing you notice is that there appears to be someone waiting for you at your bedside ; a fifty-something man, dressed in a lab coat, with a look of concern - or is it relief? - on his face. He observes you waking up, but doesn't say a thing, figuring you want the first word. ... Oh, and... it slowly dawns on you that you're wearing nothing under the bedsheets._" [5/31/18 10:34:25 AM] Jade#9876: "It's like waking up with a stack of weights at first...nothing seems to move right, everything is disorienting..

    • [Elaine]** Grah...what.. this a field hospital..?

She takes a few moments to orient herself before dazedly glancing up at the doctor, struggling to lift her arm up for what seems like the first time. She must have been out for a while...Rubbing at her eyes, she notices the lack of clothes and flushes deeply, seeming to sink deeper into the covers before posing a question

    • [Elaine]** H-Hey..where..what's the location? Where is everyone else, are they okay?

She asks in a worried tone." [5/31/18 10:35:28 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Medic]** Good morning, miss Attwood. Glad to see you're among the living... again, technically speaking. I've been monitoring your vital signs for a while now, and they've all been stable. You probably feel confused, right now, and I understand, but first, I must ask you something; what is the last thing you remember?" [5/31/18 10:37:04 AM] Jade#9876: "She hesitates for a moment as she mulls over the question.

    • [Elaine]** Was uh...walkin' point.. out in the mazes, on patrol..found a guy then it was all blurry and loud.."

[5/31/18 10:40:36 AM] Tempest#5018: "_The good doctor remains silent at first, expression unchanging, simply scribbling notes on a notepad._

    • [Medic]** Memories and thought processes seem to be all good... Well, first, I should explain a few things. I know it's a lot of information all at once, but it must be said."

[5/31/18 10:41:38 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Medic]** First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Philip Gage, head of this facility, here in the town of Arnett. You are now in the realm of the Mazes, and you are what inhabitants may refer to as an _otherworlder_, as you're not native to this place. Anything you might remember may, unfortunately, not be relevant anymore." [5/31/18 10:44:06 AM] Jade#9876: "**[Elaine]** Er...scuse me? I've lived in here my whole life, ah know quite well what this place is. This ain't uh..some sort of practical joke is it?

  • She laughs nervously, glancing up to the doctor,, though she seems to only be met with a deadpan expression.*"

[5/31/18 10:46:58 AM] Tempest#5018: "_More scribbling occurs. The doctor seems ever so slightly perplexed._" [5/31/18 10:47:54 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** Are you, really?" [5/31/18 10:49:04 AM] Jade#9876: "*She looks down at her hands as he scribbles, wiggling her fingers before glancing up and nodding.*

    • [Elaine]** I was born in Ventis, sir."

[5/31/18 10:49:42 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** Okay... And would you care to tell me about your occupation? If you remember, of course." [5/31/18 10:52:09 AM] Jade#9876: "*A faint smile crawls up to her lips as she manages to sit up, holding the sheets, continuously covering herself up.*

    • [Elaine]** Mmph...clothes would be a appreciated...but ah.. I'm a private in the Military. Joined up after..well some things happened and got myself kicked out, but heh..Went up to Baxter and signed right up."

[5/31/18 10:52:51 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** So you are saying that you were a soldier with the Regular Forces 2nd Company?..." [5/31/18 10:53:11 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** What is your birthyear?" [5/31/18 10:55:24 AM] Jade#9876: "**[Elaine]** 684, sir." [5/31/18 10:56:15 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** Give me a moment. I'm going to make a couple of searches in the databases... In the meantime, get dressed up and equipped, I've brought equipment and clothes in the crate next to the door." [5/31/18 10:56:39 AM] Tempest#5018: "_The doctor walks out of the door, with a bit of a tense, fast gait - someone who's trying to keep his composure but who is, internally, shocked._" [5/31/18 10:58:53 AM] Jade#9876: "*If he's surprised, Elaine doesn't notice. As he walks out, she hurriedly goes for the door, shutting it after him before taking a deep breath and nodding to herself. Turning to face the crate, she crouches down and opens it up, quickly putting on the clothes, followed by examining the rest of the equipment.

    • [Elaine]** Hrm.. This doesn't look standard issue.. I'll have to talk with CO about this I guess...

With a dejected sigh, she starts to put on her vest." [5/31/18 10:59:46 AM] Tempest#5018: "_That's a lot less equipment than what you had during service... IF that's even true. The seed of doubt in your mind is planted._" [5/31/18 10:59:58 AM] Tempest#5018: "_But before you can think about it too much, Gage returns._" [5/31/18 11:01:30 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** ... er, well... I have bad news, Miss Attwood... Your name... doesn't show up on the databases. No-one by that name was born in Ventis in 684, and the military records do not have any recollection of any Private Attwood from that time period... There was a Private James Attwood from four hundred years ago, but that's probably not you or related to you..." [5/31/18 11:04:41 AM] Jade#9876: "*Blinking for a moment, Elaine slowly rises up to her feet, crossing her arms. She looks perplexed, her eyebrow raised as she looks over at the doctor before an incredulous chuckle escapes her.*

    • [Elaine]** Y-you sure? Y'all lookin' in the right sorta database? Ah mean, maybe what ah did was so bad that mother had me disowned and scrubbed or somethin' ehehe.."
  • Her laughter trails off as she stares at the doctor with a clearly worried expression. It was her turn to be shocked."

[5/31/18 11:05:48 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** In any case... I have a message for you from my boss, the Administrator... If you would please turn to the television over there." [5/31/18 11:06:35 AM] Jade#9876: "*Still worried, she swivels her head to the television, then back to the doctor, before situating back on the television*" [5/31/18 11:07:03 AM] 迅轟 蛇塚#5469: "_The TV is turned on, and on it, the face of yours truly, the Administrator, Hebizuka (as a subtitle helpfully informs), appears._" [5/31/18 11:07:12 AM] 迅轟 蛇塚#5469: ""Hello! I am Hebizuka, sometimes referred to as the Administrator. If you are receiving this message, then congratulations! **You** have been chosen!"" [5/31/18 11:08:01 AM] 迅轟 蛇塚#5469: ""Now, you may wonder what you're doing here, or even how and why you're still alive. Don't concern yourself too much with these details - the important things are that we, that is, myself and the good doctor beside you, are responsible for bringing you back from the dead, and that we brought you here. There may be the tiny unimportant 'otherworlder' detail that may or may not be wrong, but like I said, don't worry about that."" [5/31/18 11:09:08 AM] 迅轟 蛇塚#5469: ""What is certain, however, is that you are what I refer to as the **Contestant**. In exchange for this second chance at life, I want you to do something for me. There are four ancient artifacts scattered all across the Mazes, and it is your job, as Contestant, to gather all four. If you do this for me, I will be able to bring you back home, safe, sound, and **alive** - well. Unless, of course, you already feel that you're home. In which case there are plenty of other things that I can do for you in exchange. _<cough>_ Anyway!"" [5/31/18 11:09:43 AM] 迅轟 蛇塚#5469: ""These artifacts are called the **Cardinal Amulets**. If you're really from our world, you should know already what they are. And that's all you need to know. The rest, you must figure out yourself! Good luck, and stay safe out there!"" [5/31/18 11:09:56 AM] 迅轟 蛇塚#5469: "_<Message end>_" [5/31/18 11:14:55 AM] Jade#9876: "*Watching the screen, the warning lights seem to be going off in her head as the message continues onwards, turning between the doctor and the screen several times more.*

    • [Elaine]** D-Dead? Dead, y-you didn't mention that? I'm dead? Is this heaven? O-O-Or hell? And what d'you mean b-by otherworlders now that ah thinkin' on it. Wh-wh..
  • She trails off, taking some deep breaths and leaning back on the bed, one hand gripping the sheets whilst another tugs up and down on one of the pouches on the vest, the sound of ripping velcro audibly filling the room.*
    • [Elaine]** What kinda joke are you all playin'? C-c-cuz it ain't all that funny.."

[5/31/18 11:15:39 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** Well, not dead _anymore_. We've made sure of that. Anyways, you have received the information and the equipment you were intended to receive. Now, if you would please follow me outside..." [5/31/18 11:18:47 AM] Jade#9876: "**[Elaine]** Ah don't 'xactly feel that ah should, all things considered..

  • Her hand has since travelled from the pouches to the rifle itself as she thumbs the selector switch. Safe, semi, safe, semi, auto, semi, safe, semi..*"

[5/31/18 11:24:10 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** _Please._ You need to follow me outside." [5/31/18 11:24:26 AM] Tempest#5018: "_He'll wait for you to make a decision. Unless, of course, you have another plan._" [5/31/18 11:27:12 AM] Jade#9876: "*And so the two stand, staring at each other like when a player goes afk. After half a minute, she sighs dejectedly, flipping the switch back to safe before starting to follow the Doctor outside" [5/31/18 11:31:34 AM] Tempest#5018: "_You're swiftly escorted out of the laboratory, and into the Social Square Center of Arnett. Have you ever visited Arnett before? Well, perhaps you have, or you haven't, but at least, the town layout is familiar to you (as it is similar in all towns)._" [5/31/18 11:32:01 AM] Tempest#5018: "**[Dr. Gage]** This is where I bid you goodbye, and good luck. I'd give you advice, but I think you know your way around already..." [5/31/18 11:33:24 AM] Jade#9876: "*Looking around the town, the private slowly nods...*

    • [Elaine]** Yer..leavin' me with quite a number o' unanswered questions, either way."

[5/31/18 11:33:54 AM] Tempest#5018: "(( Pause." [5/31/18 11:34:09 AM] Tempest#5018: "(( I had an idea, but if you'll give me a bit of time, I'll explain in detail in a few mins." [5/31/18 11:34:18 AM] Jade#9876: "(Sure :>)" [5/31/18 11:44:58 AM] Tempest#5018: "I'm offering you the possibility to do a bit of an early game skip. If you choose to, you may start with M03 and S1-1 already completed. M03 completed means you have no need to travel to Semitas to learn about the Amulets, I assume you already know about them. It also means you can immediately start doing hiring bureau sidequests, and S1-1 being cleared means no need to do a combat tutorial, since you already know how to play." [5/31/18 11:45:27 AM] Tempest#5018: "The only cost, of course, is not getting the rewards for these quests, but I'm considering that it's an acceptable price to pay for the sake of speed. And you have your packages waiting for you as well." [5/31/18 11:49:04 AM] Jade#9876: "Sounds good. Living in the Mazes her whole life (especially in an angelic town), she would know the legend of the amulets fairly well. Being in the military, she would already have sufficient shooting experience." [5/31/18 11:51:15 AM] Tempest#5018: "OK! Applying all of the changes right away." [5/31/18 11:51:30 AM] Tempest#5018: "_Main quest M03: Take the Long Way Home - Completed!_" [5/31/18 11:51:40 AM] Tempest#5018: "_Sidequest S1-1: Back to Basics - Completed!_" [5/31/18 11:51:44 AM] Tempest#5018: "_Please wait just a bit more..._" [5/31/18 11:55:21 AM] Tempest#5018: "_Alright! All that's left for you to do is to visit the hiring bureau._" [5/31/18 11:57:05 AM] Jade#9876: "*But Elaine is already with the military. Er...hrm. That guy's database search didn't exactly pull anything up at all..She'll have to check that when she gets the chance. For now, Elaine takes a look around Arnett. She's never been over here.*" [5/31/18 11:58:35 AM] Jade#9876: "*She looks around for a map*" [5/31/18 11:58:45 AM] Tempest#5018: "_It's a small town, to say the least, which hardly sees any visitors, given its remote position on the map. The easternmost town of the Eastern Zone, in fact. The town map is right here:_" [5/31/18 11:59:10 AM] Tempest#5018: "< Arnett - Town map > Food production: Hydroponics and cloning farm Water production: UA water recycling unit Residential areas: 3 (HR1 Bunkdorms, HR2 Dormitories, HR3 Double beds) + Hotel

   The hotel is called East Point Hotel.

Social square facilities: Bank, Hiring bureau, Bar, Restaurant [Diner], Takeout stand, Shooting range, Library

   The bar in E4 is called The Bolt Face.
   The diner in E7 is called Bill’s Burgers.

Shops: 3 individual (Gun shop, Clothing shop, Forge) Special facility: Laboratory (GT - Biotech/Genetics) Other facilities: Generator, Hospital, Town Hall" [5/31/18 12:02:26 PM] Jade#9876: "*Taking stock of the various facilities and locations in the town, the private begins to make her way for the hiring bureau. Maybe...maybe the hospital systems were faulty. The Hiring Bureau no doubt has far more extensive lists and information on databases that she can access. Right?*" [5/31/18 12:05:05 PM] Tempest#5018: "_It might! You head to the hiring bureau, a mere 3 rooms away._

    • [Arnett - Hiring bureau]**

_ A tired-looking fellow is at the desk, in front of a computer, and several empty cups of coffee. He looks like he's had a short night._" [5/31/18 12:07:27 PM] Jade#9876: "**[Nagisa]** Look like you could really use some rest, yeah?

  • She asks as she approaches, having slung the AR on her shoulder as she came up to the hiring bureau. She looks around the room. Not too different from any other hiring bureau in the mazes, so no reason to not be able to pull her up.*"

[5/31/18 12:07:59 PM] Jade#9876: "(Elaine, not Nagisa*)" [5/31/18 12:14:59 PM] Tempest#5018: "(( Freudian slip" [5/31/18 12:15:06 PM] Tempest#5018: "(( You can edit your own posts now, logger will see it" [5/31/18 12:18:33 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Hirer]** Oh, tell me about it, I thought I was up for the night shift today, but instead it's the day shift... I just woke up... 3 hours of sleep, 12 coffees! It's insanity! Now, what can I do for you?" [5/31/18 12:21:06 PM] Jade#9876: "**[Elaine]** Ah, right, ah was wonderin' if ye could pull me up in the database. Guessin' the hospital don't have as large a database compiled as you all would. My name is Elaine Attwood, I'm a Private in the Military.

  • She says with a faint smile*"

[5/31/18 1:11:03 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Hirer]** ... Mm, nope, sorry. You're new in my system. Might not want to call yourself a private if it doesn't say you're military or retired military, ma'am. They don't take that kindly!" [5/31/18 1:12:23 PM] Jade#9876: "*She actually glares at the hirer*" [5/31/18 1:12:28 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Hirer]** I can, however, give you a couple jobs. I got a concerned citizen in Elkins who needs help with critters invading his town, and I've got the dude at the diner here in Arnett, who wants help with something else, didn't say what, but he did say he'll pay in more than just money. Huntin' and butcherin' lessons, it seems." [5/31/18 1:16:04 PM] Jade#9876: "*Sighing dejectedly, she nods and slowly flicks the fire selector between safe and semi once more, nodding slowly.*

    • [Elaine]** Sure, sure, that sounds fairly useful.. And hon, ah think ah know that, bein' military meself. Anyway, I suppose I'll..take those up..
  • She sighs, calming herself down, though she seems a bit tense still*"

[5/31/18 1:16:35 PM] Tempest#5018: "_Sidequests S1-2 (What's Left of a Small Town) and S1-3 (Come a Huntin' Man) activated._" [5/31/18 1:16:50 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Hirer]** By the way, have you heard about all of these adventurers going to Joliet Sector lately?" [5/31/18 1:18:27 PM] Tempest#5018: "_S1-2 objective 1: Go to Elkins, and meet with the concerned citizen_" [5/31/18 1:18:42 PM] Tempest#5018: "_S1-3 objective 1: Go to Arnett's Diner, and meet with the chef_" [5/31/18 1:19:20 PM] Jade#9876: "**[Elaine]** No, can't say ah have. Somethin' big goin' on? Youkai or such?" [5/31/18 1:22:55 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Hirer]** Unsure, think there's something big happening in the area. Some sort of big treasure, some are saying it might even be an Amulet, like those in the Angelic prophecy things, yknow? Whatever it is, it's drawing people there. You might want to check out in Joliet Sector, if that's of any interest to you." [5/31/18 1:23:07 PM] Tempest#5018: "_Main quest M04: The Power to Begin Again_" [5/31/18 1:23:22 PM] Tempest#5018: "_M04 objective 1: Go to Joliet Sector, and ask locals for information regarding the Cardinal Amulet_" [5/31/18 1:24:34 PM] Jade#9876: "(brb for a mo)" [5/31/18 1:38:06 PM] Jade#9876: "*Amulet huh... Keep that in mind.., the private ponders to herself. Sitting up, she moves a couple strands of hair from her face before nodding, smiling once more. "Thanks, I'll keep all of that in mind." she tells him." [5/31/18 1:38:25 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Hirer]** Alright, stay safe out there. Oh... One more thing." [5/31/18 1:39:01 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Hirer]** A few packages have been delivered to the item vault, to the bank account at your name. You might wanna check the bank out before you go." [5/31/18 1:39:58 PM] Jade#9876: "*this surprises her a bit. Maybe it'd shed some light on the situation for her..*

    • [Elaine]** Thanks for the heads up, ah'll go take a look in a bit, then."

[5/31/18 1:42:55 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Hirer]** Aight! Take care, stay safe!" [5/31/18 1:45:37 PM] Tempest#5018: "_To the bank now?_" [5/31/18 1:45:50 PM] Jade#9876: "Yessir" [5/31/18 1:46:48 PM] Tempest#5018: "_3 more rooms later..._

    • [Arnett - Bank]**

_A bank office, with a big vault door in the back. The room is staffed by a banker, affaired at his desk, and guarded by three Town Security officers._" [5/31/18 1:49:31 PM] Jade#9876: "*With the AR-18 shouldered once more, Elaine enters the bank. It's not exactly extravagant, but she supposes it wouldn't need to be for a small town like this. Eyeing the guards for a moment, she slowly approaches the banker.*

    • [Elaine]** Hello sir, heard that some things might've been waitin' for me. My name's Elaine Attwood."

[5/31/18 1:55:25 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Banker]** ...Attmann... Attnogg... Attwood. Yes, hello. An account has been opened for you - though no money was deposited, a substantial amount of packages were donated to you by an anonymous person. They are currently held in storage, are you here to withdraw the objects?" [5/31/18 1:56:16 PM] Jade#9876: "**[Elaine]** Er...you wouldn't happen to know anythin' at all 'bout the depositor, no..?" [5/31/18 1:58:32 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Banker]** _<Sassy>_ ...As I said, this is an anonymous person." [5/31/18 1:59:33 PM] Jade#9876: "*The soldier nods and sighs*

    • [Elaine]** Sorry, sorry.. uh, I suppose I'll withdraw those objects then."

[5/31/18 2:01:11 PM] Tempest#5018: "_Typitty type type... the banker seems to order something over the computer._" [5/31/18 2:01:34 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Banker]** Okay, a request to deliver these by courier to our vault has been sent. Your packages should be here within... Five hours." [5/31/18 2:01:46 PM] Tempest#5018: "_The time is 8 AM - your items will be delivered at 1 PM._" [5/31/18 2:02:35 PM] Jade#9876: "**[Elaine]** Alright...oh, sorry, would you happen to know where the nearest military installation is?" [5/31/18 2:03:16 PM] Jade#9876: "**[Elaine]** I was stationed over in Central and don't quite know all the bases 'round here" [5/31/18 2:03:29 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Banker]** The nearest m- ... Out here? There isn't any military towns in the Eastern Zone, ma'am!" [5/31/18 2:04:21 PM] Tempest#5018: "**[Banker]** I would _suppose_ the closest would be in the Southern Zone, but you're traveling far and away to find a military town, that's for sure." [5/31/18 2:05:24 PM] Jade#9876: "**[Elaine]** Ah.. well, thank you for the info either way. I'll be back when I can." [5/31/18 2:05:44 PM] Jade#9876: "(Can we mark personal quests down?)" [5/31/18 2:07:28 PM] Tempest#5018: "(( Of course." [5/31/18 2:07:52 PM] Tempest#5018: "_Five hours to kill until your items are delivered. And you have 450 P$ to spend, as well..._" [5/31/18 2:08:01 PM] Tempest#5018: "_How you decide to spend the next five hours is up to you._" [5/31/18 2:09:07 PM] Jade#9876: "*Elaine guesses she'll hit up the gun range. She wants to see how well she can shoot after...well whatever happened happened.

I’ll provide you with the supplies to do it if you don’t have them yet. Since I really need the meat right now, I’ll pay you double the standard rate – 20 P$ apiece, so at least 400 P$ guaranteed for you if you bring me the 20 pieces I ask for.
