Log:Auro v3 Startgame (Meta, no ontology)

[14:07] <~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… * [14:07] <~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.* [14:07] <~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. * [14:07] <~Hebizuka> *The loudspeaker starts coughing noise, apparently just being turned on. * [14:07] <~SU_Tempest> Our new guest has woken up, it seems. [14:07] <Auro> ...Guest? [14:08] * Auro shakes his head, trying to figure out what on Arceus had just happened to him. [14:08] <~SU_Tempest> In this case, this would be you. Welcome to MazeWorld, new contestant! I suppose you've got a lot of questions at the moment... [14:08] <Auro> Yeah, like how did I... [14:09] <~SU_Tempest> Put it short, you died. But, well. We thought your soul was good enough to be taken away from your past life, and by the same, we're giving you a chance at reincarnation. [14:09] <Auro> Reincarnation? There must be some sort of catch... [14:10] * Auro thinks, \There always is...\ [14:10] <~SU_Tempest> You catch on quickly. We're not giving you the key to the exit; you have to find it yourself. As a Contestant of the Mazes, your primary task is to search this realm and seek out for the Cardinal Amulets. [14:11] <Auro> And these amulets... I guess bringing them all together will... [14:11] * Auro pauses as he notices something on his right arm [14:11] <~SU_Tempest> These four Amulets of divine origin are your key to the exit and your promise to return home, well and alive. But, of course, it won't be that easy. This realm has many inhabitants, not all are nice. See, your new body is fresh, free of wounds and illnesses. Take good care of it; you will leave the Mazes in this new body, whether it means alive or a body bag. [14:12] <~SU_Tempest> *Voice gets less loud.* In fact I think we ran out of body bags. *Cough* [14:12] <Auro> I don't know... I never remembered this... scar being on my right arm before. [14:12] * Auro examines the runic scar on his right arm [14:13] <~SU_Tempest> Ah and yes, your body developed this scar thingy. We dunno what that is, but one thing is sure, it has no important properties. I think. [14:13] <Auro> You think? [14:14] <~Hebizuka> *A second voice is heard in the background.* Apparently this thing reacts to his status. Interesting but that's not gonna help him much! [14:14] * Auro sighs, taking note of what the second voice stated, but without saying anything [14:15] <Auro> Anyway, so how do I find these Amulets? [14:15] <~SU_Tempest> Ah, forgive me, where are my manners. My name is Sergey Kovrov. But I am better known as one of the Game Masters, or simply GM. The lady you've heard is one of my colleagues. We're three, and our job is to monitor and oversee the Mazes in their entirety, but particularly, people like you - Contestants. [14:16] <~SU_Tempest> As for the Amulets, it is up to you to find out where they are. The only thing we can tell you is that so long you're alive and can move on, you are making progress. [14:16] <Auro> Seeing as we are doing introductions, I'm Adam Bailey... Although you can call me Auro. Nearly everyone does. [14:16] <~SU_Tempest> We know that already, Adam. [14:17] <Auro> Did Arceus tell you that? [14:17] <~SU_Tempest> Let's just say we looked that up ourselves. [14:18] <Auro> So you also know that I don't do well without my partners. [14:18] <~SU_Tempest> *There is no answer to that.µ [14:18] <~SU_Tempest> In any case, before we throw you in there, my colleague will make you pass our patented Contestant Personality Test™ (approved in 153 universes, banned everywhere else!). You'll receive your equipment at the end of this... Unless you want to jump in naked with nothing but your fists, I dunno, it's your problem after all. [14:19] <Auro> Well, I wouldn't want to do that, so I might as well take it. [14:19] <~Hebizuka> *Same muffled voice from before.* Hello, contestant. I am Hebizuka Jinkou, another one of the GMs, and I will make you go through the CPT. You ready? [14:19] <Auro> I'm ready. Hit me with the questions you have for me.
