Log:Session 141 (Meta, no ontology)

[18:10] <&Hebizuka> *You have a bit of trouble understanding what happened... The last thing you remember, you're pretty sure you died, but here you are, 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.* [18:10] <&Hebizuka> *The next thing you notice is that you're naked and there's nothing that belongs - or used to belong - to you here. And just as you make note of that, a television turns on automatically on the end of the room, revealing the head of a human male. Lab coat, thick frame glasses, bald head ; he looks like a medic.* [18:11] <~Tempest> [Medic] Hello, can you hear me? [18:35] <Fruityahhlicious> What the heck? Where was she? And.. the person in the tv expected an answer...? Like they'd actually be able to hear her.. through the tv.. Weird. Her blue eyes scanned the room again searching for like a speaker phone and.. stuff. Annnd they were staring at her.. stark naked. Eee! (cont.) [18:35] <Fruityahhlicious> She wrapped one arm to cover her chest, and the other lower to cover her other essentials. But she was very not comfortable naked especially in front of creepy lab coated people. "Y.. Yes?" she said finally, her voice soft. (cont.) [18:35] <Fruityahhlicious> She was treating it like one of those skype calls she realized just as she'd answered. Because.. that's the only thing that made sense. Was this some kind of new prototype or something? And why was it being tested out on her? She wasn't anything.. (cont.) [18:36] <Fruityahhlicious> "I could have sworn I.." Maybe she was delusional, or-or hallucinating. Maybe this was one of those near-death experiences. Though she could have sworn she'd been wearing.. more than this! She chewed on her lip as she waited to see if the tv man would respond back. (done) [18:37] <&Hebizuka> *The medic's stare seems to glance at something farther away than you, as if he wasn't actually aware of your presence or looking at you. The monitor displaying his face is on the wall facing you.* [18:37] <~Tempest> [Medic] Our sensors indicate that you've woken up and that your vital signs seem stable... I know you must be disoriented right now, but I must ask you some questions. Your answers will help me determine if you're indeed in good health. [18:38] <~Tempest> [Medic] Once my questions are dealt with, I'll answer any of yours, if you have any - which I'm sure you do, but I'll have to ask you to wait and answer mine first. Understood? [18:41] <Fruityahhlicious> "Can you see me? Like.. I see your head.. And-and stuff.. Because woah man on the creep factor." She'd just said that? Her cheeks flushed with color, when had she ever gotten so bold? Maybe it was that near death experience again? Liiike.. her nerves were a little fried and she wasn't as patient as she normally was. (cont.) [18:44] <Fruityahhlicious> And oh! She was supposed to wait till after he asked the questions. "That's the only thing I'm asking before you go ahead with your questions and I'm not answering yours till you answer that one question. And if you can see me.. could you like.. pretend that you can't? Cause.. naked people shouldn't be examined by.. by crazy science guys.." And now every crazy horror, fantasy show was slipping through her head. (cont.) [18:46] <Fruityahhlicious> Don't freak out. You are fine. You are.. naked.. But you are fine. Nothing is.. is happening. She was fine. Emma, you are fine. How come she didn't feel fine? She was so-so freaking out. "Can-" No wait, she wasn't supposed to ask questions. Dang it. (cont.) [18:49] <Fruityahhlicious> She shifted on the hosptial bed pushing herself into a sitting position and pressing her head between her legs. No panic attacks please.. Especially not while in the nude being examined by crazy people.. Come on Em, you can do this! Or.. she was trying. Giving herself pep talks to try and calm her fears. (done) [18:49] <~Tempest> [Medic] I will explain everything you want to know in due time. Firstly and most importantly, I need you to calm down, and tell me your full name. [18:54] <Fruityahhlicious> What the heck? Where was she? And.. the person in the tv expected an answer...? Like they'd actually be able to hear her.. through the tv.. Weird. Her blue eyes scanned the room again searching for like a speaker phone and.. stuff. Annnd they were staring at her.. stark naked. Eee! (cont.)

She chewed on her lip as she waited to see if the tv man would respond back. (done) [18:54] <Hebizuka> *The medic's stare seems to glance at something farther away than you, as if he wasn't actually aware of your presence or looking at you.

(done) [18:54] <~Tempest> [Medic] I will explain everything you want to know in due time. Firstly and most importantly, I need you to calm down, and tell me your full name. [18:58] <Fruityahhlicious> Yeah, yeah. She was trying to calm down on her own, she didn't need him to tell her to do it too. "Yes.. because you wouldn't be freaking out if you were in my position.." she grumbled but didn't lift her head. She was fine, she could do this. It was just answering a few questions, right? Right. "My name is.. Emmalynn Clara Nugget. I prefer to go by Emma or Emmy though.. (cont.) [19:00] <Fruityahhlicious> "My name is.. Emmalynn Clara Nugget. I prefer to go by Emma or Emmy though.. But will answer to any shortened version of my name.. or last name. Just not my middle, cause it's hideous and reminds me of cows.." Why did she have a pretty first name and a hideous middle name? Wait.. was there a way to remove her middle name and make it something else!? (cont.) [19:01] <Fruityahhlicious> Better yet, she could change her whole name.. and-and stuff. Though.. technically if she ever married she'd lose her last name anyways.. Unless she divorced and then got it back. But marriage and what not was a long-long-LONG distant future. And she wanted her name changed now.. or maybe when she was out of here. (done) [19:01] <&Hebizuka> *The medic's facial expression seems to turn, briefly, into a scowl of annoyance, before returning to a very academic/neutral face.* [19:02] <~Tempest> [Medic] ...hmm. The cameras are fried. Well. If you haven't noticed yet, I can hear you but I cannot see you. Which brings me to my next question: what is your gender? [19:07] <Fruityahhlicious> Really!? They couldn't see her! Mental fist pump in the air! It made her smile, and calmed her down a heck of a lot. "You really shouldn't fix those. Unless you wanted to be naked on the other side looking at the naked people in here." Wait.. she had not meant that. She did not want to see him naked. Eww! GROSS! (cont.) [19:07] <&Hebizuka> *You swear you saw a hint of a surprised look. A tiny hint.* [19:09] <Fruityahhlicious> Her mood did seem better, and she was able to.. calm herself better. Of course, answering these easy questions seemed to work too. She glanced up towards the tv-one-way-camera-thing and beamed. And then laughed at his following question. "You can't tell from my voice or my name? Totally a chick dude." (done) [19:10] <~Tempest> [Medic] You'd be surprised what I saw in the past, which is why I have to ask. Now, I need you to pay attention to the monitor here. [19:10] <&Hebizuka> *The TV screen stops displaying the scientist's face, and starts displaying a question and choices.* [19:10] <~Tempest> [Medic] I want you to tell me what species you were born as - or whichever one of those choices is the closest. [19:11] <&Hebizuka> [Species?] Human or Halfling [19:12] <Fruityahhlicious> "What's a .. halfling?" she wondered instead. [19:13] <~Tempest> [Medic] A halfling is a mostly-human creature, but with altered DNA so that they have certain physical features resembling that of animals. A cat halfling can be better described as a "catgirl" or "catboy", for example. Ears, tails, mannerisms, fangs, eyes of a cat, but retaining a mostly human body otherwise. There are many halflings in this realm, living among humans for the most part. [19:14] <Fruityahhlicious> "Really!? That's so cool.. I've never.. Are you sure?" she said in disbelief.. "Well.. I'm human." [19:15] <~Tempest> [Medic] Now... another simple question, how old are you? [19:17] <Fruityahhlicious> "That.. depends.." she said softly, "What year is it.. because.. are we talking what age I thought I was yesterday or.. like now in this room that is surreally similar to I suppose what a normal room looks like but with weird high tech gadgets that definitely aren't. Maybe.." [19:19] <~Tempest> [Medic] Just tell me how old you were before you... well. Died. [19:25] <Fruityahhlicious> "Wait, wait, wait, WAIT. I-I'm dead? Like dead.. dead. Like my spirit in someplace else dead. Is this like the waiting list to heaven you have to verify things? Or.. am I going to hell. I swear I didn't do anything hell-worthy. Oooor.. is there neither just some endless spirit limbo thing?" (done) [19:26] <~Tempest> [Medic] Please. I will answer to all of this in due time. Just try to remember how old you are in years. [22:53] <Fruityahhlicious> "Years are good. Because I'd hate to have to figure days.. especially with the sometimes weird leap years. Wait..? Do those count? How do those count.. Is it true that someone born on February twenty-eighth only has a birthday about every four years or something?" She waited, but was greeted with rather a lack of reply. (cont.) [22:54] <&Hebizuka> *The Medic is starting to look impatient.* [22:58] <Fruityahhlicious> Yeah, she should have realized that. It was like she was talking to a wall. A wall that looked vaguely human, but acted more or less like a computer with it's constant questions. "Soo.. I'm like.. uhhmm.. well, ironic that we're still talking about February.. It is still February right? Cause.. that means I just turned fifteen." [22:59] <~Tempest> [Medic] I'll take 15 years old, then. Now, give me a minute... [22:59] <Fruityahhlicious> "It's not like I have anywhere to go.." [23:02] <~Tempest> [Medic] Normally, I would have more advanced machinery to do the next part of my battery of tests, but we've had equipment damage recently, and all I had to spare are old, archaic measuring equipment and medical posters. [23:03] <~Tempest> [Medic] I would like you to get up from bed and look to your left. Along the wall should be the equipment I mentioned. I want you to go through each one in order, and use them to reply to my next questions, starting with the poster talking about body shapes. [23:05] <Fruityahhlicious> One eyebrow rose as she waited not really sure what he was going on about now. "Uhhh... So the first directive is to get up from bed or to look to my left. Because I can totally look to my left without getting up. Or.. do I actually need to get off the bed?"(cont.) [23:06] <Fruityahhlicious> It wasn't like she was trying to be difficult, okay maybe a little. But only because she was annoyed he wouldn't answer her questions. They were really important questions! Why did she have to wait when he didn't? "Uhhmm.. I'm kinda.. like.. not that mechanically smart, is there a dumby-proof way to do these?" (done) [23:07] <~Tempest> [Medic] Get out of bed. Walk to the corner of the left wall. Look up the body shapes poster. And tell me which one looks closest to your constitution. [23:07] <&Hebizuka> [Body shape?] Thin, Slender, Average, Athletic, Muscular, Overweight, Obese [23:11] <Fruityahhlicious> "Fine. Fine.." she said softly getting out of bed and moving to the chart poster-thing. "Let's see.. not obese or overweight.. I definitely don't have a muscular body.. athletic.. not really. I mean, I never played sports so.. not so much right?" she glanced back towards the monitor to see if she was getting any kind of rise out of the guy. (cont.) [23:12] <Fruityahhlicious> "I think.. I'm too small to be average.. but I'm not sure.. What's the difference between slender and thin?" [23:13] <&Hebizuka> *Thin is represented as being a mere step above skin on bones. Slender is represented as a more pleasantly slim, but not unhealthy constitution.* [23:15] <Fruityahhlicious> "Hmm.." she pondered tapping her index finger to her chin, "I think.. maybe slender.." [23:16] <~Tempest> [Medic] Move on to the measuring tape contraption, and use it to give me your height. [23:16] <&Hebizuka> *The contraption can measure in both meters/centimeters and feet/inches.* [23:18] <Fruityahhlicious> She looked to the contraption slowly, "But I already know how tall I am.. Or more like.. how short.." she murmured not very pleased with this. But she tested it out anyways. "HEY! I gained an inch! AWESOME!" [23:20] <&Hebizuka> *The medic, once again, (im)patiently waits for the value.* [23:21] <Fruityahhlicious> She was ecstatic, silly maybe. But when you were short every extra inch mattered. "I'm like.. five foot one now.." The giddiness happiness clear in her voice. [23:24] <~Tempest> [Medic] 5'1", very well... Now, move on to the scale, and use it to give me your weight. [23:27] <Fruityahhlicious> The slender, five foot one female fifteen year old slipped up onto the scale to see how much she weighed, "Approximately a hundred and fifteen pounds. But you are aware that it's very rude to ask someone how much they weigh, right?" [23:30] <~Tempest> [Medic] I'm sorry, but this is for your well-being. On to the next one... Which is, I admit, more superficial, but still required. The next poster should talk about skin pigmentations, referring to each by the name of a gemstone. I need you to look at which one looks closest from yours. [23:30] <&Hebizuka> [Skin color?] Diamond (Albino), Opal (Nordic, pale white), Pearl (Caucasian), Peridot (Arabid), Heliodor (East asian), Citrine (Malay, filipino), Carnelian (Latino), Axinite (Native American), Onyx (Black) - or Other, if none of them match yours. [23:32] <Fruityahhlicious> She paused when the medic phrased his next question like this. "Why, are you racist?" she wondered looking at the pigments and then to her flesh. "I'd say I'm probably Pearl..ish.." [23:32] <~Tempest> [23:33] <~Tempest> [Medic] Racist? I don't see what race has to do with this, you've confirmed to me earlier that you're human. [23:33] <&Hebizuka> *It seems the concept of 'race' in this realm is different.* [23:37] <~Tempest> [Medic] Next up... The next one should be talking about hair lengths and color. Same deal as before, tell me which one is closest to yours. [23:37] <&Hebizuka> [Hair length?] Bald/shaved, very short, short, shoulder-length, back-length, hip-length [23:37] <&Hebizuka> [Hair color?] Black, dark brown, brown, auburn, chestnut, blonde, platinum blonde, gray, red, white, silver - or Other, if none matches. [23:37] <Fruityahhlicious> She was stumped by his reply and then her eyes got wide and she did an actual fist bump into the air, "YES!" she kind of whisper-yelled. He'd finally answered something she'd said that hadn't dealt with his stupid questions at all. [23:39] <Fruityahhlicious> She giggled softly bouncing in place, really the smallest of things could amuse her. And she was stuck in this room, naked answering these stupid, pointless questions. "My hair is about mid-back length and brown. It's also frizzy and has this annoying wave to it that makes it even more frizzy." [23:41] <~Tempest> [Medic] Onto the last poster, which is about eye colors. You know the drill. [23:42] <&Hebizuka> [Eye color?] Blue, green, gray, blue-green, amber, hazel, brown, red, black, violet [23:43] <Fruityahhlicious> "OHMYGOD! People actually have violet eyes!? THAT'S SO UNFAIR!" she gasped, and kind of stomped her foot. "Could you make me have violet eyes?" [23:44] <&Hebizuka> *A sigh, followed by a beat where the Medic stays silent.* [23:45] <Fruityahhlicious> "Fine.. I'll take that as a no.. Hmm.." she said thoughtfully, "Are we talking about like what eye color is now.. because if I died like you said, it's possible my eyes could have changed colors. Like.. maybe my eyes are rainbow now. THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME!" [23:48] <Fruityahhlicious> "Fine.. fine.. I'll answer your stupid question. My eyes are blue. But like an ocean blue.. and maybe like the only thing that makes me noticeable from any other girl. Otherwise my small form, and my big hair kind of make me.. blah, another face in the crowd." [23:49] <~Tempest> [Medic] Very well. This concludes the first part, I now have a more complete report about you. I do still have tests to run, mostly related to questions about your physical and mental abilities. [23:49] <&Hebizuka> *You will now decide your Primary statistics. You will be given points to spend across a few statistics; adjust as necessary.* [23:50] <Fruityahhlicious> "Do I get to ask my questions now?" [23:50] <~Tempest> [Medic] I'll have to ask you to be patient a little longer. If we go through this speedily enough, we will get to your questions. [23:51] <&Hebizuka> *The monitor stops displaying the medic's face, instead displaying several statistics, with a prompt to make choices and adjustments.* [23:51] <&Hebizuka> *For the first part, you are given 5 points to spend across five statistics, which can have as much as +4 points and as little as -4 points into them. You may, in order to gain more points to spend, remove some from one stat to put into another, and so on.* [23:52] <&Hebizuka> *If you wish to know more about what a stat does, ask the medic.* [23:52] <&Hebizuka> Natural Pain sensitivity: 0 pts - 100%. 1 pt = 5%. Lower is better. [23:52] <&Hebizuka> Natural Strength: 0 pts - 100%. 1 pt = 10%. Higher is better. [23:52] <&Hebizuka> Maximum Pain before blackout: 0 pts - 100%. 1 pt = 5%. Higher is better. [23:52] <&Hebizuka> Maximum Blood: 0 pts - 20. 1 pt = 1 blood. Higher is better. [23:52] <&Hebizuka> Natural limb health modifier: 0 pts - 100%. 1 pt = 10%. Higher is better. [23:55] <Fruityahhlicious> "Wait. Wait, wait. Dude come back," she said as she moved towards the computer-like screen.. Well, tv-computer whatever. "What is this? That.. doesn't look safe or-or anything. Please just explain what this is." [23:57] <~Tempest> [Medic] I essentially want you to use these stat sliders and adjust them, in order to give me a general idea of how resilient and healthy you are. [23:58] <Fruityahhlicious> "So.. it's based on what I want or what I am? Because.. I don't know how to determine how I am.. on any of these." [00:03] <Fruityahhlicious> "Hmm.. uhh.. what does maximum blood mean?" she wondered. "And a point to the blackout one.. and.. the health modifier?" She wondered softly trying to think of.. things. How sensitive to pain was she? Generally a sensitive person. Maybe this was to determine further procedures. Maybe she- (cont.) [00:04] <Fruityahhlicious> wasn't actually dead but it some kind of heightened almost state and they were trying to revive her, but as he'd said none of their machines were working so they had to first verify a few things and then ask her these types of questions. Maybe it was some kind of weird telepathy thing? (cont.) [00:08] <Fruityahhlicious> Maybe she should be honest. Because if she messed something up things could go wrong with her like actual self. "I think a point towards the pain sensitivity.. And.. wait that's three points right there right? I only have two left.. One for blood? Whatever that is.. And I dunno. I wouldn't consider myself strong.. Maybe.. another point to.. blood?" [00:09] <~Tempest> [Medic] Maximum Blood refers to the maximum amount of blood you will lose before dying. Maximum Pain until blackout is how much pain you can withstand before passing out from shock. Maximum limb health modifier roughly refers to how tough and resilient to damage your body parts are, the percentage being a general indicator compared to the average human. [00:10] <&Hebizuka> *If you wish to reconsider your choices in light of this info, feel free.* [00:10] <&Hebizuka> *If not, verbally confirm what you said is what you want.* [00:14] <Fruityahhlicious> "Uhhmm.." she looked over what she'd said. It was a hard thing to look over, how resilent she was.. when really she always thought she was rather pathetic. "I.. I think that's right?" [00:16] <&Hebizuka> *Recap:* [00:16] <&Hebizuka> Natural Pain sensitivity: +3 pts - 85%. 1 pt = 5%. Lower is better. [00:16] <&Hebizuka> Natural Strength: 0 pts - 100%. 1 pt = 10%. Higher is better. [00:16] <&Hebizuka> Maximum Pain before blackout: 0 pts - 100%. 1 pt = 5%. Higher is better. [00:16] <&Hebizuka> Maximum Blood: +2 pts - 22. 1 pt = 1 blood. Higher is better. [00:16] <&Hebizuka> Natural limb health modifier: 0 pts - 100%. 1 pt = 10%. Higher is better. [00:16] <&Hebizuka> *Is this what you want?* [00:20] <Fruityahhlicious> "Uhhh.." she looked at the chart again with the updated info, "One of the sensitivity points to.. the blackout one.." [00:21] <&Hebizuka> Natural Pain sensitivity: +2 pts - 90%. [00:21] <&Hebizuka> Natural Strength: 0 pts - 100%. [00:21] <&Hebizuka> Maximum Pain before blackout: +1 pt - 105%. [00:21] <&Hebizuka> Maximum Blood: +2 pts - 22. [00:21] <&Hebizuka> Natural limb health modifier: 0 pts - 100%. [00:21] <&Hebizuka> *Confirm?* [00:22] <Fruityahhlicious> "Maybe.. minus the strength to a negative one.. and add that to.. the blood? I know I'm not strong, not physically at least.." She said thoughtfully. "Soo.. two to sensitivity, one to blackout, three to blood.. and a negative one to strength." [00:23] <&Hebizuka> Natural Pain sensitivity: +2 pts - 90%. [00:23] <&Hebizuka> Natural Strength: -1 pt - 90%. [00:23] <&Hebizuka> Maximum Pain before blackout: +1 pt - 105%. [00:23] <&Hebizuka> Maximum Blood: +3 pts - 23. [00:23] <&Hebizuka> Natural limb health modifier: 0 pts - 100%. [00:25] <Fruityahhlicious> "Uhhh.. yeah, I think that's about right." [00:28] <~Tempest> [Medic] Excellent. Now, I need to have an idea of your combat skills. If you haven't guessed yet, it will be important later on. [00:28] <&Hebizuka> *The monitor's scales and lists changed again. You will now attribute your starting weapon skills, which affect your performance with weapons and will affect what starting gear you'll get.* [00:30] <&Hebizuka> Points to spend: 5 [00:30] <&Hebizuka> 1 point in any skill category = 50 Training Points (TPs) in that weapon skill. [00:30] <&Hebizuka> 0 or 1 points leaves the skill level at Unskilled (low accuracy) [00:30] <&Hebizuka> 100 TPs/2 points required for Basic level (normal accuracy) [00:30] <&Hebizuka> 250 TPs/5 points required for Skilled level (improved accuracy) [00:30] <&Hebizuka> [00:30] <&Hebizuka> No skill can have less than 0 points spent - you can get no more than 5 points to distribute. [00:30] <&Hebizuka> Each weapon type listed below represents one skill ; there is a total of 17 weapon skills. All are useful in their own ways; choose which ones suit you best to start with. [00:30] <&Hebizuka> [00:30] <&Hebizuka> Firearm skills: Precision rifle - Combat rifle - Shotgun - Conventional rifle - Machine gun - Submachine gun - Pistol - Auto pistol - Revolver [00:30] <&Hebizuka> Explosive skills: Grenade launcher - Rocket launcher - Hand grenade - Planted explosives [00:30] <&Hebizuka> Melee skills: Blunt - Sharp - Piercing - Unarmed (martial arts) [00:34] <Fruityahhlicious> This didn't make sense as far as what she'd thought she'd been providing information for. Why would a doctor need to know her accuracy skills and with weapons? "For whatever this is for.. like.. later on is there a way my skill level can increase. I mean.. if I'm a poor shot, are there any room for improvement and stuff..?" [00:35] <~Tempest> [Medic] The short version is yes, you can get better, but I need to know what you're good at -now-. [00:38] <Fruityahhlicious> "I'm fifteen, how the heck am I going to know how to use explosives or rocket launchers unless I'm some glorified terrorist which I'm not!" [00:39] <Fruityahhlicious> She covered her face with her hands, tears slipping down her cheeks as she looked at these questions. What was this!? She hadn't signed up for anything. Had her mom signed her up for crazy stuff like this? Maybe it was another one of her sick jokes to get back at her for.. who knew what? (cont.) [00:39] <~Tempest> [Medic] You'd be surprised. Once again. [00:42] <Fruityahhlicious> She sat back down on the bed and stared up at the chart and list of stuff. "I don't know anything about guns or explosives.." she muttered so those would all stay zeros. But she had five points to work on the melee skills. Why couldn't there be a lockpicking skill? She knew how to do that. "If my mom signed me up for something I want out. I'm not a violent person. I just want to go home." (done.) [00:43] <&Hebizuka> *Which of the melee skills do you wish to distribute your 5 points on, then?ù [00:43] <&Hebizuka> * [00:46] <Fruityahhlicious> "Please just send me home. I don't want to be here.." she pleaded. But looked up at the list anyways. "I'm not strong enough to use blunt weapons.. and I don't know any marital arts stuff.. What's the difference between sharp and piercing?" [00:47] <~Tempest> [Medic] Simply put, sharp is cutting weapons, piercing is stabbing weapons. There may be a bit of overlap, it simply depends on how it's used. [00:49] <Fruityahhlicious> "I.. don't really understand.. so like.. as an example, would scissors be considered cutting or.. stabbing because they could be used either way. Or did you mean knives. Or did you mean.. like cutting off body parts as opposed to stabbing body parts?" [00:53] <~Tempest> [Medic] We are talking about skills here. While a knife can be used for both cutting and stabbing, the acts of slashing (sharp) and stabbing (piercing) are different and under different skills. Make sense? [00:53] <Fruityahhlicious> "Lets go with piercing.. I guess..?" she said finally curling herself into a little ball. Scared of whatever this was now. "I still wanna go home though." [00:54] <&Hebizuka> *Spend all 5 points in Piercing?* [00:55] <Fruityahhlicious> "Sure.." [00:57] <&Hebizuka> [Note] You have maximum training in Piercing and can no longer improve that skill through training! [00:58] <~Tempest> [Medic] Now, I'm going to suppose you don't want to stay naked all day long either, but that's just me supposing. Look at the monitor again, I'm displaying selectors for equipment, including clothing, for you to choose from. [00:59] <&Hebizuka> *You will now choose your starting equipment. You have 5 points to spend across clothing, armor, LBE, and later on, weapons. "Default" items cost zero points. Items that cost points are listed with a negative - sign, and items that bring points back are listed with a positive + sign.* [01:04] <Fruityahhlicious> "What am I doing? Why do you need to know weapony-stuff?" she asked, her voice obviously distraught even as she looked up at the clothing stuff. [01:05] <~Tempest> [Medic] Everything will make sense in due time. [01:05] <&Hebizuka> Clothing - For having something to put on your back, and for style. [01:05] <&Hebizuka> >Top: None/Naked (+1 pt) - Yes (0 pt) ; if yes, a selection will be displayed [01:05] <&Hebizuka> >Bottom: None/Naked (+1 pt) - Yes (0 pt) ; if yes, a selection will be displayed [01:05] <&Hebizuka> >Footwear: None/Naked (+1 pt) - Yes (0 pt) ; if yes, a selection will be displayed [01:05] <&Hebizuka> >Headgear (clothing): None/Naked or Yes (either choice is free) [01:09] <Fruityahhlicious> "Yes to all of them?" [01:10] <&Hebizuka> Available tops: T-Shirt, Shirt with tie, Tracksuit jacket, Sarashi, Trench-coat, Duster coat, Parka [01:10] <&Hebizuka> Available bottoms: Jeans, Regular pants, Tracksuit pants, Shorts, Leather pants, Mountain pants, Cargo pants (plain) [01:10] <&Hebizuka> Available footwear: Regular shoes, Running shoes, Hiking shoes [01:10] <&Hebizuka> Available headgear: Baseball cap, Beret, Fedora, Bandana, Boonie hat [01:10] <&Hebizuka> *Pick one of each category.* [01:13] <Fruityahhlicious> "What's the weather like?" [01:14] <~Tempest> [Medic] Mostly indoors. *You detect a hint of sarcasm in his tone. He does sound like he's getting mighty impatient.* [01:17] <Fruityahhlicious> "Running shoes, definitely." she said matter-o-factly, since that seemed the safest thing. And if they were indoors there was no use of hiking shoes right? "Do I get socks with my shoes.. cause there is no mention.. and I'd really like socks." [01:18] <~Tempest> [Medic] Yes... Socks are included. [01:20] <Fruityahhlicious> "Okay then... also maybe hmm.. it's either jeans or cargo pants.. but what's a.. sarashi.. thing?" [01:22] <&Hebizuka> *The monitor displays a picture of a sarashi. Essentially just a roll of cotton bands wrapped around the wearer's torso. They are used by martial artists, badasses, and women too lazy to wear a bra.* [01:25] <Fruityahhlicious> "Eww.. no thanks.. I'll wear... Wait, do I get to pick colors? Because.. I think I'll take the cargo pants.. and a t-shirt.. and a duster..? Aren't dusters and trench coats the same?" She pondered the choice of hat.. maybe a.. bandana?" [01:27] <&Hebizuka> *The monitor does display a color choice. Virtually any color is available.* [01:27] <&Hebizuka> *You do need to choose between t-shirt and duster coat, they are both Tops.* [01:28] <Fruityahhlicious> She sighed, annoyed, "Duster? And.. do they come in rainbow? If I have to hurt people I at least want rainbow colors.." [01:29] <~Tempest> [Medic] *Silent for a moment, he checks something out. Faint look of surprise.* As a matter of fact, I am - much to my surprise - authorized to deliver a rainbow colored duster coat. [01:31] <Fruityahhlicious> She squeals with delight, "Yes." [01:33] <&Hebizuka> Armor - For actually protecting yourself. (Points left: 5) [01:33] <&Hebizuka> >Body armor: None (0 pt) - Flak jacket (-2 pts) - Type-2 Kevlar vest (-4 pts) - Type-3 Kevlar vest (-6 pts) [01:33] <&Hebizuka> >Headgear (armor): None (0 pt) - M1 Helmet (-1 pts) - Twaron helmet (-2 pts) - SPECTRA helmet (-3 pts) [01:33] <&Hebizuka> >Arms addons: None (0 pt) - Elbow pads (0 pt) - Arm guards (-1) - Twaron arm pads (-2) [01:33] <&Hebizuka> >Legs addons: None (0 pt) - Knee pads (0 pt) - Leg guards (-1) - Twaron leg pads (-2) [01:36] <Fruityahhlicious> "Armor.. hmm.. Uhhhmmm.. maybe the kevlar vest.. and.. leg guards?" [01:36] <&Hebizuka> *Which kevlar vest? Type-2 or Type-3* [01:37] <&Hebizuka> *You can overspend ; there are opportunities later to regain points, namely with load-bearing equipment.* [01:37] <&Hebizuka> *All that matters is making sure it's not going over 5 when we're done choosing* [01:39] <Fruityahhlicious> "Ohh.. I can overspend, sweet.. then.. arm guards and type 3?" [01:44] <&Hebizuka> Load-Bearing Equipment (LBE) - For having carrying capacity and an inventory. [01:44] <&Hebizuka> >Backpack: No backpack (+4pt) - Shoulder bag (+2pt, 20 units) - Student's backpack (+1pt, 30 units) - Field pack (0pt, 40 units) - Standard backpack (-2pt, 50 units) - Jäger rucksack (-3pt, 60 units) [01:44] <&Hebizuka> >Utility belt: No belt (+2pt, but can't carry key items) - Default belt (0pt, can carry key items) - LE Tactical belt (-1pt, key items + extra inv space) - Gunfighter belt (-1pt, key items + extra inv space) [01:44] <&Hebizuka> >Tactical vest: No vest (0pt) - Competition vest (-1pt) - MK64 Trooper (-2pt) - VersaForce (-3pt) [01:46] <&Hebizuka> *Backpacks are for heavy duty carrying, but accessing items in them takes a while - it's hard to reach what's in your back, after all. Vests, belts, and leg rigs (not displayed) are smaller and have less capacity, but allow you to access items immediately, which is useful during combat.* [01:49] <Fruityahhlicious> "Hmm.. let's see.. How about..- what are the vests for?" she wondered not really sure. Wasn't she already getting a kevlar vest, would that not work if she got other kinds too? "How about.. a tactical belt.. and.. I dunno.. maybe a shoulder bag?" [01:52] <&Hebizuka> Weapons - For combat, what else? You can pick up ONE package for free - any extra package costs 4 pts, so choose wisely. [01:52] <&Hebizuka> Sharp/Piercing package 1: Pocket knife [01:52] <&Hebizuka> Sharp/Piercing package 2: KA-BAR combat knife [01:54] <Fruityahhlicious> "Uhhmm.. the combat knife.."

[02:02] <&Hebizuka> (interruption due to player needing to leave - session will be resumed on Aug 20, 5:30 PM CDT)

[22:24] <&Hebizuka> *After choosing the equipment desired, the monitor displays your choices...* [22:24] <&Hebizuka> Clothing: Bandana, Duster coat (requested to be rainbow colored), Cargo pants, Running shoes - (cost: 0) [22:24] <&Hebizuka> Armor: Type-3 Kevlar vest (6), Arm guards (1) - (cost: 7) [22:24] <&Hebizuka> LBE: Shoulder bag (-2), LE Tactical belt (1) - (cost: -1) [22:24] <&Hebizuka> Weapons: Free weapon package (Sharp/Piercing #2) + no extra packages (0 pts) [22:24] <&Hebizuka> Total points spent: 6 ; certain choices must be modified (1 point must be removed) [22:26] <Fruityahhlicious> "Ohhkay.. that looks accurate enough." [22:32] <Fruityahhlicious> She chews on her lip as she looks the stuff over.. "What would you choose?" she wondered speaking to the medic person. [22:33] <~Tempest> [Medic] I daresay that it's not my problem what equipment you choose, but if you really want my advice, I will have to ask you what exactly you want help on. [22:35] <Fruityahhlicious> "For the record, I really don't like you." she said with a frustrated sigh. "Nevermind person.. she looked a the stuff and compared it to what her other choices were. "Could I have the downgraded belt instead of the tactical one, please?" [22:36] <&Hebizuka> Clothing: Bandana, Duster coat (requested to be rainbow colored), Cargo pants, Running shoes - (cost: 0) [22:36] <&Hebizuka> Armor: Type-3 Kevlar vest (6), Arm guards (1) - (cost: 7) [22:36] <&Hebizuka> LBE: Shoulder bag (-2), Default belt (0) - (cost: -2) [22:36] <&Hebizuka> Weapons: Free weapon package (Sharp/Piercing #2) + no extra packages (0 pts) [22:36] <&Hebizuka> Total points spent: 5 [22:36] <&Hebizuka> *Confirm?* [22:38] <Fruityahhlicious> She sighed again, "Yes. Can I ask my questions now?" [22:43] <~Tempest> [Medic] That concludes the primary tests. I'll be coming down to see you in person, with the equipment you have selected. [22:43] <&Hebizuka> *The monitor shuts down. You have a brief moment of solitude before he comes in.* [22:46] <Fruityahhlicious> "What!?" she gasps as he mentions he's on his way down with the stuff she'd just.. assigned herself. What was going on? Why couldn't she just have her old clothes back? Where was she that had things like halflings? And was she really dead? She chewed on her lip, slowly as she covered herself so when he came in he wouldn't get an eyeful. (done) [22:51] <&Hebizuka> *The medic enters the room. You can now see him in the flesh rather than through a monitor. He really does look like a middle-aged male with glasses. The medic is pushing in a cart, in which you can see three boxes, presumably with your assigned gear inside.* [22:52] <~Tempest> [Medic] Good morning, Emma. [22:54] <Fruityahhlicious> "Is it morning? Because I feel like I'm in some kind of nightmare.. at least my mom's not in it. Wait, she's not here is she?" she bites her lip as she glances warily towards the now closing door. [22:57] <~Tempest> [Medic] I would say it was about 7 AM when you woke up. It is definitely morning. [22:57] <Fruityahhlicious> She glanced towards the boxes that he carried in the cart. Were they really that heavy that he couldn't carry them in his hands? Or did he have back issues. "What's your name?" she wondered, hoping she could finally get answers for her billions of questions. (done) [22:59] <~Tempest> [Medic] I am Dr. Philip Gage. And yes, I am ready to answer your questions. Feel free to open the boxes and retrieve your gear while we address your concerns. [23:02] <Fruityahhlicious> "Could you turn around while I get dressed. You might be used to looking at naked people Mr. Gage but I don't like changing in front of people.. especially male people.." Once he complied, and only when he did so did she rise to open the boxes and check out her supplies, slipping on her socks, undergarmets (hopefully), then her cargo pants. And she squealed with delight at the sight of the magnicifcent rainbow duster! "OHMYGOSH ITS BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU!" (cont.) [23:03] <&Hebizuka> *The medic raises an eyebrow. He seems... weathered, perhaps by his job. He nevertheless turns around as requested.* [23:04] <&Hebizuka> <Clothing & Armor> [23:04] <&Hebizuka> [Clothing] Headgear - Bandana - AC: C2 - Blunt-resistant - RagOK-0.5x - Weight: 1 - [Cond: Brand new] [23:04] <&Hebizuka> [Clothing] Top - Duster coat (Upper body, Lower body, Arms, Legs, Crotch) - AC: C3 - Blunt-resistant, Sharp-resistant - Weight: 9 - [Cond: Brand new] - Color: Rainbow [23:04] <&Hebizuka> [Clothing] Bottom - Cargo pants, plain color (Lower body, Legs, Crotch) - AC: C3 - Blunt-resistant, Sharp-resistant - Weight: 5 - [Cond: Brand new] [23:04] <&Hebizuka> [Clothing] Footwear - Running shoes - AC: C2 - Blunt-resistant, Sharp-resistant, Piercing-resistant - Weight: 5 - [Cond: Brand new] [23:06] <Fruityahhlicious> She tried on the duster, absently wondering if there was a mirror so she could see herself. "Soo.. how do I put on the other stuff?" she wondered once she was wearing the new clothes. "And why couldn't I just wear my old clothes? And why did I have to answer all those questions?(cont.) [23:07] <&Hebizuka> *There is indeed a mirror, which you used earlier while looking at the medical posters.* [23:08] <Fruityahhlicious> Where are we? What is your job? Do you meet all the new people that come here? And how did I get here. I mean.. I was.. I'm pretty sure I almost drowned.. but you said-" she ran out of breath and breathed in deeply, trying to gather her thoughts as oh yeah, the mirror in the corner. She skipped over to it and examined the new duster. Gosh it was gorgeous! (cont.) [23:10] <Fruityahhlicious> She swayed in play looking herself over. The other stuff were plain jane colors, but the coat made everything stand up and not seem so bland. She loved it! If there was one thing this Mr. Gage guy was good for, was getting her this duster. "You said I was dead. If I'm dead.. how am I here? Is this like limbo land? And if so why did you need to know if I could fight. Which I can't.. I'm better at running away than fighting." (done) [23:11] <&Hebizuka> *Dr Gage takes a deep breath, when the assault of questions being asked to him is finally over, and takes a moment to sit down on a nearby chair.* [23:12] <~Tempest> [Medic] I'll try to answer these questions in order. First... don't forget you still have armor to put on. [23:12] <&Hebizuka> [Clothing] Body armor - Type-3 Kevlar vest (Upper body) - AC: A3 - Blunt-PROOF, Sharp-resistant, Piercing-resistant - Plate carrier - Weight: 9 - [Cond: Brand new] [23:12] <&Hebizuka> [Clothing] Arms addon - Arm guards - AC: C3 - Blunt-PROOF, Sharp-PROOF, Piercing-PROOF - Half melee damage - Weight: 9 - [Cond: Brand new] [23:15] <Fruityahhlicious> "Is the armor supposed to go on the outside or the inside?" she wondered softly. "I thought cops wore these under their shirts.. so if they got shot the attacker didn't immediately know it?" she just fingered the armor and waited for his answer to that question before she did anything further. (done) [23:15] <&Hebizuka> *Gage explains that this is military grade armor and that it needs to be worn over your clothing.* [23:16] <~Tempest> [Medic] Now. The reasons you couldn't just wear your own clothes, why you had to answer all of this, and where you are, are more or less the same. [23:18] <~Tempest> [Medic] You have in fact died, in your original world at least. However, the Administrator of this realm, and by proxy, my boss, has seen fit to capture your soul as it was departing from your plane of existence. It was then brought here, and to make it simple, it was placed in the body you are now into. [23:18] <~Tempest> [Medic] Your original body was lost. The one you have now was... more or less molded to look as much as possible like you were, but you have no powers, no magical abilities, nothing superhuman or supernatural anymore. You are for all intents and purposes, a normal healthy human being, now. [23:18] <&Hebizuka> *He pauses, to let you take the information in.* [23:21] <Fruityahhlicious> She began to put on the armor as he explained, luckily for her it was pretty easy to figure out how to put on. But she looks to him as he mentions she has died, her soul was taken before it could move on and put into this other dimensional world and in a body that wasn't exactly hers..(cont) [23:23] <Fruityahhlicious> "Why?" she wondered instead. "Does your boss do this to all people that die in my world and bring them here? Why do I need to wear armor and know how to use weapons? I don't have to fight people.. do I? I'm a kid not a criminal or-or a marine.. I don't know how to do anything." (done) [23:25] <~Tempest> [Medic] Why, I don't know. I was told that you were the one. In fact, you have a title. You are the Contestant. Your arrival was predicted by an angelic prophecy, and desired by our Administrator since a little over 700 years old. Your objective, as far as I know, is simple: in exchange for the gift of a second chance at life, you must find and retrieve four divine artifacts named the Cardinal Amulets. [23:25] <~Tempest> [Medic] One you have those four Amulets, you will be granted the right to return to your original homeworld, safe and sound. [23:26] <~Tempest> [Medic] The reason you were asked about combat skills is because this realm is arguably a dangerous one, and you will likely have to face challenges and dangers. [23:28] <~Tempest> [Medic] As for whether I meet all the otherworlders that come this way, I must say that you are the only person who was brought in via soul interception in the several hundreds of years of recent history, at least as far as I know. [23:28] <~Tempest> [Medic] You are, quite frankly, an unique case. [23:29] <&Hebizuka> *He pauses, yet again.* [23:31] <Fruityahhlicious> "Alone? I have to fight uhh.. whatever makes your world.. realm dangerous, alone? I couldn't have like.. little gnome body guards that speak like russian but if translated it's all like.. curse words," she wondered. "And they are really bad-ass and know like karate but because they are so small they are under estimated..-(cont) [23:32] <Fruityahhlicious> - And really they are just adorable anyways and all the bad things here just want to snuggle them instead and lay down their weapons.. or whatever. And then we can all live with the snuggly gnomes together!" She beamed, that sounded like a so much better idea. (done) [23:33] <~Tempest> [Medic] Yes, I'm afraid you have to start off alone. Though the possibility of meeting allies, friends, or other hired guns is there. You don't have to stay alone, but you will start without companions. [23:37] <Fruityahhlicious> "Could I make a request for the gnome snuggle Russian guys? I mean.. I don't actually know Russian, but.. accents are like.. hot.." her cheeks totally got all rosey there.. Why was she admitting this? She was way more.. uhh, loud today. Maybe it was a she was suddenly dead thing? "Eventual allies are good.. I can do that."(cont) [23:38] <Fruityahhlicious> "So.. are halflings from your world then.. or are they from a different.. What was the word you used again.. uhh..mm.. Oh! Right! Realm. Are they from your realm? Or a different one? Cause there are no such creatures where I'm from. At least that I know of.." (cont) [23:39] <Fruityahhlicious> "And how did you know.. or your boss guy know that I was the one you were looking for? Cause like.. I'm just this one person that doesn't know anything.. I-I'm a kid. Not a.. an experienced person or anything. How could your boss be sure I was who he..she.. they were looking for?" (done) [23:44] <~Tempest> [Medic] I'm sorry, I don't know what a 'Russian' is. But moving on to your other questions... Halflings exist in the Mazes (this is the name of this realm, by the by) as native species, a close-cousin offshoot of humans, so close they are considered as such. We asked in case there were such creatures in other worlds... [23:45] <~Tempest> [Medic] As for whether or not the Administrator is certain... Well. To put it simply, her word is final, and when she wants something to happen, she makes it happen. [23:46] <~Tempest> [Medic] If Lady Hebizuka thinks you are the one, then you are the one. [23:48] <~Tempest> [Medic] Earlier, you asked me what my job was. As I said earlier, I am Dr Philips Gage, and... well. All I'm allowed to say about my job is that I take care of very special medical cases such as yourself. Healing and treating living beings is one thing, but creating one from scratch was something else entirely. [23:48] <Fruityahhlicious> "Lady Hebizuka? Is that your boss?" she wondered softly. Note to self, do not get on that lady's nerves.. whoever she happened to be. "And I wasn't.. I didn't mean anything bad against the halflings, I just.. I've never heard of them before." (cont) [23:49] <~Tempest> [Medic] If I may say so myself... you are one of the crowning achievements of my career as a Medical Science Team member. [23:50] <Fruityahhlicious> She blushed at his.. making of her? That was by far so.. so very creepy and yet.. not? Was that why he wanted to see her naked? DId that make it more or less creepy because he was kind of partially-maybe her father? "Uhhmm.. well thank you? Sorry if I was really annoying." (done) [23:51] <~Tempest> [Medic] Frankly however, my role was just that of a... builder, for lack of a better word. Lady Hebizuka is the one you should really thank for your existence. [23:51] <~Tempest> [Medic] And... no offense taken. [23:53] <&Hebizuka> *Gage brings up a clipboard, glances at it briefly, but focuses again on you.* [23:53] <~Tempest> [Medic] Did you need to ask anything else? [23:56] <Fruityahhlicious> "Do I get to meet his Lady Hebizuka so I can thank her in person?" she wondered softly. "And.. what will you guys do with the amulets once I retrieve them? Do they hold any purpose for your.. people?" (done) [23:57] <~Tempest> [Medic] I suspect my boss will be the one to see you once you have all four of these Amulets. As for whether they have any significant purposes... Nobody really knows where they are, or if they exist at all, in fact. Most of the religious texts that talk about you as the Contestant, the Amulets, or the stories around them are treated as nothing more than that, rumors and legends. [23:58] <~Tempest> [Medic] If you want more information, I suggest you find a shrine, or ask an Angelic about it, they will give you a more complete answer than I can. [00:03] <Fruityahhlicious> "Uhhh.. ohhkay? What's an Angelic?" [00:03] <~Tempest> [Medic] ...Oh right. That, you will find out during your travels in the Mazes. Anyhow, is that all? [00:04] <Fruityahhlicious> "Uhhmm.. I guess?" [00:04] <~Tempest> [Medic] Right. Anyhow, let me open your other boxes... [00:05] <&Hebizuka> <Load-bearing equipment> [00:05] <&Hebizuka> [LBE] (Backpack) Shoulder bag: Capacity 20 units [00:05] <&Hebizuka> [LBE] (Utility belt) Default belt: Capacity 0 units + Key items (Can carry key items) [00:05] <&Hebizuka> <Weapons & Ammo> [00:05] <&Hebizuka> [Weapon] Class 5 Short: KA-BAR knife - Slash (Sharp), Stab (Piercing) - Steel - Butchering - Weight: 3 - [Cond: Brand new] [00:06] <~Tempest> [Medic] I'd like to ask a few questions for a small psych eval. 4 questions, for a very quick evaluation of your mental and psychological level. This is optional, though, you don't have to go through it, but I would prefer if you did. [00:06] <~Tempest> [Medic] And after that, you'll be free to go. [00:11] <Fruityahhlicious> She looked inside the remaining boxes as he opened them, then to him as he asked about the remaining test questions that she didn't have to answer if she didn't want to. "I guess you can ask them," she admitted softly. (done) [00:13] <~Tempest> [Medic] Well, all right. My first question was if you remembered how you died, but I caught earlier that your cause of death was drowning. Is that right? [00:16] <Fruityahhlicious> She nodded softly, "Is there water here? Like.. bodies of water?" [00:17] <~Tempest> [Medic] Very few. There's a few zones called "Outside Areas", which are relatively uncontrolled natural areas and landscapes. Some of them are beach-typed, with what you would call a view on the sea. But other than that, the majority of the Mazes is an indoors environment. [00:19] <Fruityahhlicious> "Yes!" she sort of whisper-cheered. "Thank gosh.." she smiled towards him, "Okay, next question please?" [00:19] <~Tempest> [Medic] Now... Look at these descriptors here on my clipboard. I want you to tell me which Type is closest from your personality. [00:19] <&Hebizuka> Type A: Reserved, responsible and passionate, but also stubborn, tense, and squeamish. [00:19] <&Hebizuka> Type B: Creative, strong, always active, but also irresponsible, selfish and unforgiving. [00:19] <&Hebizuka> Type C: Cool, adaptable, rational, but also cold-hearted, indecisive and forgetful. [00:19] <&Hebizuka> Type D: Confident, optimistic and strong-willed, but also egotistical, unpredictable and doubtful. [00:19] <&Hebizuka> I have no idea / I'm not sure [00:22] <Fruityahhlicious> "Uhhhmm.. I'm creative and pretty active and I can be irresponsible.. I'm kinda forgetful and very doubtful and passionate.. and a little reserved.. maybe.. Err.. maybe not.. I think maybe.. I'm mostly like type B?" [00:28] <~Tempest> [Medic] How would you describe your ability to withstand stress [00:28] <~Tempest> ?* [00:28] <&Hebizuka> <<< I try my hardest to avoid any and all stressors - << I stay away as much as I can from stressful things - < I have difficulty managing stress - I can handle stress, to some extent - I am used to stressful events > - I've grown to handle all but the hardest events >> - I feel completely insensitive and unable to be stressed out >>> [00:29] <Fruityahhlicious> "Uhhhmm.. I'd say b and c.." [00:30] <~Tempest> [Medic] Which one of those options do you mean? [00:33] <Fruityahhlicious> "Can't I pick both?" she wondered softly biting her lip as she looked between the two.. "Maybe c.. but I do get really scared really easily.. Does that count as a stress thing?" [00:34] <~Tempest> [Medic] You tell me what feels closest to reality. I'd advise imagining the worst case scenario and trying to imagine how you'd react to that. [00:35] <~Tempest> [Medic] And no, one choice only. [00:37] <Fruityahhlicious> She thought about it slowly, "I lied.. it's b. Sorry. I didn't mean to lie. Just your questions are hard to answer." [00:38] <~Tempest> [Medic] Final question. How energetic would you describe yourself to be? [00:38] <&Hebizuka> <<< Wet noodle ; I am unable to do any sort of hard work lest I pass out - << Weak ; I am tired easily and I require frequent resting - < Fragile ; I am average, just not very endurant - Average ; I am capable of taking some hard work if I need to - > Tough ; I'm not afraid of hard work and can last a while - >> Hyperactive ; I can handle so much, inactivity actually tires me - >>> Unstoppable ; I could last entire days of work without sleep [00:41] <Fruityahhlicious> "That doesn't sound like an energetic question. That sounds more like.. how much weight you can lift question. I'd say I have lots of energy, but I'm not very strong.. Maybe average?" [00:45] <~Tempest> [Medic] This is strictly about energy, not strength. [00:46] <~Tempest> [Medic] Strength has nothing to do here, it's more about how long you can last in an average day. [00:48] <Fruityahhlicious> "Hmm.. Fine.. if it's just about energy then I'd say tough.." [00:49] <~Tempest> [Medic] And that's all I have to ask of you. If there's any last minute things you want to talk about, let me know. Otherwise, well... I will bid you good luck on your journey. [00:50] <Fruityahhlicious> She smiled towards him, "Thank you Mr. Gage," and she moved over to him and gave him a hug. "I think I'm all set. Err.. well done with questions and stuff." [00:51] <~Tempest> *The medic stands awkwardly as he's being hugged. He is uncomfortable... but he doesn't bring it up or make any move to stop it.* [00:52] <Fruityahhlicious> She releases him, "Where am I supposed to go now?" [00:52] <~Tempest> [Medic] This way.
