Log:V4 Session 109 (Meta, no ontology)

From Mazeworld

[19-Jul-18 06:32 PM] Tempest#5018 [Session #109 ; Session start] _Welcome back to the Mazes, Reina. You've reached Garica Block, and are now currently in the ESSN access room._ [Reputation] Outlaw faction: +20 Rep / Indifferent _You're free to leave this room and enter the town. Your next mercenary contract is located in this town, and they are currently in the town gate._ _One of the engineers from the control room runs in just as you enter._

    • [Engineer]** Ah! Sorry! I didn't expect anyone to use the tunnels! ... Wait, you're not an engineer...
    • [Engineer]** Oh, wait, I know, are you the new girl who was added to the database?


[19-Jul-18 06:40 PM] Twib#7809 "Yeah, I got permission from your boss. I think he was *quite* happy with my 'service'." Reina winks at the engineer... "Show me away to the Black Market, handsome? Or at least tell me how to get there.."


[19-Jul-18 06:41 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Engineer]** First, would you please tell me that you're here to deal with the assholes in the town gate? They forced the Yatela folks deeper into the town... We're waiting for reinforcements, and one of them told me that he went to the hiring bureau to put a contract on their heads.
    • [Engineer]** The town's safe, for now, but they're pushing travelers away, and it's bad for business!


[19-Jul-18 06:42 PM] Twib#7809 "I will, I will - but I need a meal in me and also some grenades, so I'll be heading to the shooting range for a quick spot of practice."


[19-Jul-18 06:43 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Engineer]** OK, but be quick!


[19-Jul-18 06:43 PM] Twib#7809 "Mhmm, mhmm." First, to the Black Market!


[19-Jul-18 06:45 PM] Tempest#5018 _You exit the generator facility. But after 3 rooms, you're stopped on your way to the town, in the access corridor - just one room north of the town gate. Two gangsters - in very stereotypical gangster attire (fedora, trench coat) - halt you._

    • [Gangster 1]** Hey, hey, big tits, I ain't seen you before, and you don't look like an engineer. Whatchu doing here?


[19-Jul-18 06:47 PM] Twib#7809 "I'm here to take care of your little bandit problem right outside, handsome - *after* I buy a good gun.. A girl with big tits like me knows her way around the engineer's pipes if you know what I mean."


[19-Jul-18 06:47 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Gangster 1]** Huh...
    • [Gangster 2]** Hey, I think I heard of you actually. Ain't you the gal who shot that shrine maiden?


[19-Jul-18 06:49 PM] Twib#7809 "With a load of cum, sure."


[19-Jul-18 06:50 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Gangster 2]** Huh. Okay, come on in, but be quick. We let them take the town gate, but when you're ready, you blast them fools, aight? I'm the one who placed the contract, you'll get paid once you get them outta here. I don't even want em runnin' - they gotta be on the fookin' Funeral Codex by the end of the day.


[19-Jul-18 06:51 PM] Twib#7809 "Sure, sure, no problem. Though I'm surprised big strong men like you can't handle a group of five fuckwits."


[19-Jul-18 06:51 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Gangster 2]** It's just the two of us and they're five!
    • [Gangster 1]** If we had more cash for better guns, this shit wouldn't be happenin'.
    • [Gangster 2]** Amen to that!


[19-Jul-18 06:51 PM] Twib#7809 "They're five and I'm *one*. But I guess a gal like me's just more used to handling tons of guns."


[19-Jul-18 06:52 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Gangster 2]** Yeah, ain't it your job? Anyway, go on ahead.


[19-Jul-18 06:52 PM] Twib#7809 To the Black Market!


[19-Jul-18 06:53 PM] Tempest#5018 _Garica Block is as sad and run-down looking as ever. All the wealth in this town is going to the Yatela family; and they're not spending much of it on renovation. You walk 13 rooms to the only shop in the shop hub of the town, the black market outlet._


[19-Jul-18 06:54 PM] Twib#7809 "Got a CAWS or a giant ass machine gun with thick rails?" "Alternatively, a rocket launcher. I could use one of those."


[19-Jul-18 06:56 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** I'll go see what I have in stock, esteemed customer...


[19-Jul-18 06:56 PM] Twib#7809 "I bet you say that to all the prostitutes.>"


[19-Jul-18 06:57 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** Very few have the money to shop here. You don't seem like a prostitute, to me.

_He eyes you up and down..._


[19-Jul-18 06:57 PM] Twib#7809 Reina just smirks.


[19-Jul-18 06:57 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** ...though you do look like you'd be successful doing that, too.


[19-Jul-18 06:58 PM] Twib#7809 "I've had a fair bit of success. Maybe I can show you a good time after I take care of those pests in the town gate."


[19-Jul-18 07:01 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** Hawk MM-1. Twelve-shot grenade launcher. It doesn't have a stock, but I'm not sure that's much of a problem when you have 12 shots. 3000 P$.

[Weapon] Class 1 - R4/Superior - Daewoo USAS-12 shotgun | 12 gauge - Semi/Full - 18.11 in. - S | AutoROF: 4 | No accessory | USAS 10-round mag, +1 | Weight: 26 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/240638527170150400/469550230652715018/Daewoo_USAS-12.jpg

    • [Shop manager]** Daewoo USAS-12. It's ugly as sin, but it's full-auto capable, comes with a 10-round magazine, and there are 20-round drums available, as well. I recommend pairing these with flechette, slugs, or FRAG-12 if you really want to make it clear your opponent's fucked.

Only 2250 P$. You won't find this anywhere else.

    • [Shop manager]** A favorite of brutes and SRT guards with a fetish for smashing skulls. Several pounds of solid steel. In case you need to literally smash people's heads. Only 1125 P$.
    • [Shop manager]** So... See anything you like?


[19-Jul-18 07:10 PM] Twib#7809 "I'll buy everything except the Auto-shotgun, because not having accessories is for scrubs." "Also, do you have any accessories i can take a look at, as I buy your entire stock of arrows and 40mm grenades?"


[19-Jul-18 07:10 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** Heh. You got space to carry this in your bag?


[19-Jul-18 07:10 PM] Twib#7809 "Also *also* I don't have nearly enough space to carry all of this, so I'll need to make a quick deposit at the bank."


[19-Jul-18 07:11 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** Don't fret, I can have it delivered to your vault instead...


[19-Jul-18 07:11 PM] Twib#7809 "I figure you won't mind holding my purchases since I'm easily spending over 10K."> "Oh, you can? What a handsome man you are."


[19-Jul-18 07:11 PM] Tempest#5018 (( For the sake of speed, purchases you bought and delivered to the vault will not require any waiting time if you go to the bank in the exact same town. (( Because it'd make no sense.


[19-Jul-18 07:13 PM] Twib#7809 (I appreciate.) "So, in the meantime - I would love to peruse your ammo and your accessories."


[19-Jul-18 07:13 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** The MG3. A 7.62mm NATO descendant of the MG42. Blisteringly high rate of fire, just like her momma before her. A beast of firepower. Bring lots of ammunition. She's yours for 4600 P$.

This specific variant is one of the machine guns, with a long barrel, a bipod, and a 45-round magazine compatible with that of the AK-74. Not apparent on the picture is the optic mount, which accepts WP mount optics. Low-recoil, highly controllable, and can be further customized at any workshop, if you'd like. I'll let her go for 2025 P$.


[19-Jul-18 07:43 PM] Twib#7809 "Mmmmmmmmmmmm, not one I'm looking for, I suppose. Thanks regardless." "You can ring me up now, handsome - and since I'm now your most favorite and sexiest customer, tell me your name?" She's blatantly ogling him now as they finish up their shopping.


[19-Jul-18 07:45 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** Ha, forget about it, hot tits. Your tally's coming right up...


[19-Jul-18 07:47 PM] Twib#7809 "Hey, you said you'd be interested *after* you're off shift. What's a little loyalty benefits, hmmm?"

_Please wait!_


[19-Jul-18 07:55 PM] Twib#7809 "Give me, ah 25 of the Magnum FMJ rounds, if you'd please."


[19-Jul-18 07:57 PM] Tempest#5018 _Belatedly, but you notice that there is a MAIM access computer on the counter of this shop._ _Just in case._

    • [Shop manager]** Sure, one moment...

    • [Shop manager]** Yes, I work with MAIM, I have an arrangement.

_First, where are you taking these shells?_

[19-Jul-18 08:00 PM] Tempest#5018 OK. You're going to remove 2 shells of rubber buckshot. Where are they going?


[19-Jul-18 08:01 PM] Twib#7809 Back in the bag.


[19-Jul-18 08:02 PM] Tempest#5018 Got it. You spent 1 turn unloading the KSG-25. Then, you spent 5 turns loading the first 13 shells, and another 4 turns loading the next 12. You spent a total of 10 turns, and your KSG-25 is now loaded to full.

[19-Jul-18 08:07 PM] Twib#7809 "Yup. There's a pretty gal on my mind, and since I'm splurging so much aaanyways~"


[19-Jul-18 08:09 PM] Tempest#5018 _The screen comes alive, and the MAIM logo comes alive._ _Do you have a problem? Can no-one else help? Does it require competent, qualified problem solvers?

[19-Jul-18 08:26 PM] Twib#7809 "Wait." "Does this mean." "That she's going to ave to fight her way through the bandits?" "That's *hilarious*"


[19-Jul-18 08:27 PM] Tempest#5018 (( She'll find her way to you, bandits or no bandits. (( You paid for it, after all. _Do you want to wait for her?_


[19-Jul-18 08:28 PM] Twib#7809 "In a bit. Alright, back here in two hours - first, time to load up on carbs." "Where's the nearest restraunt?"


[19-Jul-18 08:29 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** You've got Mark's Bistro here in town. Their pizzas are fantastic. There's always the takeout stand if you want something else. I like their hot-dogs.


[19-Jul-18 08:30 PM] Twib#7809 Bistro it is!


[19-Jul-18 08:31 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** Thank you kindly for your business, heh heh... Come again soon.


[19-Jul-18 08:31 PM] Twib#7809 "I will if you do~" Okay, to the Bistro! How's my TB, my Fatigue, and Nutrition?


[19-Jul-18 08:33 PM] Tempest#5018 _9 rooms later, you make your way to the dining room of Mark's Bistro, the local trattoria. Classical music is being played in there, and the restaurant is packed full of locals, their noise almost drowning out the music - it's the daytime rush, after all. A waiter, who looks more like a butler and whose suit barely hides how **ripped** he is, is waiting for the next customers._ _Unfortunately, the last thing you need right now is food. Though you are a tanuki, you always did find a way..._

Nutrition: 3187 ntri - Satiated Hydration: 793 wtr - Hydrated Fatigue: 49.0% - OK (on the verge of Tired) Stress: 5.0% - Moderate Tanuki Balls: 2 /10


[19-Jul-18 08:37 PM] Twib#7809 "A menu, please." And while that slab of MANMEAT fulfills my desperate needs, I'm going to do my usual.


[19-Jul-18 08:37 PM] Tempest#5018 Hint: Do not spend too long away from the dispatch location. If you aren't there by the time the mercenary reaches dispatch, they will wait for you, but it will burn time from your contract.


[19-Jul-18 08:37 PM] Twib#7809 First, 2 TB for Afterglow.


[19-Jul-18 08:37 PM] Tempest#5018 They've been paid in advance, after all.


[19-Jul-18 08:37 PM] Twib#7809 Second, generate 10 TB. Third, order a looooooooooooooooooooooooooot of coffee. Well, that's fine - eating and TB generation don't take up time, after all.


[19-Jul-18 08:38 PM] Tempest#5018 Just a reminder.


[19-Jul-18 08:38 PM] Twib#7809 No worries~


[19-Jul-18 08:39 PM] Tempest#5018 _You burn 2 TB to instantly activate Afterglow. You'll lose 0.4% Stress over the next 15 turns, as usual._ _It will burn 2500 ntri and 100 turns to generate 10 TB. Confirm?_


[19-Jul-18 08:40 PM] Twib#7809 Confirm~


[19-Jul-18 08:41 PM] Tempest#5018 _OK. Let's deal with that first before we order food._ Nutrition: 227 ntri - Hungry Hydration: 513 wtr - OK Fatigue: 59.0% - Tired Stress: 0.0% - Low Tanuki Balls: 10 /10 _Back to full TB! But now you're very hungry and you feel ever more tired._ _The waiter finds you a spot and delivers the menu, which looks absurdly tiny in his ham-fists._


[19-Jul-18 08:49 PM] Twib#7809 Time to DEVOUR. "And your drink menu, please." "I need some coffee."

[19-Jul-18 08:57 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Waiter]** Oh, great, another caffeine hound. That'll be 85.50 P$.


[19-Jul-18 08:57 PM] Twib#7809 Cha-ching!


[19-Jul-18 09:01 PM] Twib#7809 I'll burn 2 TB for Afterglow, and drink all 25 cups.


[19-Jul-18 09:02 PM] Tempest#5018 _You paid 85 brass coins and one CuNi coin, leaving you with respectively 162 and 40, for a total of 182 P$ (2.02 /20)_ _Your order is swiftly delivered._ If you burn 2 TB for Afterglow now, then drink 25 cups, you'll have the Stress increasing effects of only the last 10 cups, which should leave you with 4.0% Stress. Is that OK?


[19-Jul-18 09:03 PM] Twib#7809 Yup, sounds perfect.


[19-Jul-18 09:04 PM] Tempest#5018 Alright, each turn you have a net loss of 3.8% Fatigue (-4 from coffee, +0.1 due to being hungry, +0.1 naturally), and 25 coffees won't sate hunger, so... Ha, that still comes out to -95% Fatigue. Nutrition: 552 ntri - Hungry Hydration: 1400 wtr - Maxed Fatigue: 0.0% - Energized Stress: 4.0% - Low


[19-Jul-18 09:06 PM] Twib#7809 I keep underestimating how much Fatigue I recover from coffee. TIME FOR PIZZAS


[19-Jul-18 09:11 PM] Tempest#5018 Time for pizzas. You've got 2 whole Veg pizzas before you, laid out in their respective cardboard boxes, and already pre-sliced, 8 slices each. You'll need 16 turns to eat both pizzas.


[19-Jul-18 09:12 PM] Twib#7809 That's more then fine. I'm huuuuuuuuungry.


[19-Jul-18 09:15 PM] Tempest#5018 _Om nom nom. 16 turns later, you've downed both pizzas like your life depends on it. And... it kind of did._

Nutrition: 2504 ntri - OK Hydration: 1400 wtr - Maxed Fatigue: 1.6% - Energized Stress: 4.0% - Low _One unapologetic burp later, and you're done refueling yourself._


[19-Jul-18 09:16 PM] Twib#7809 "Good times, good times." Let's get back to the Black Market and wait 2 hours for Rie.


[19-Jul-18 09:17 PM] Tempest#5018 _Batman transition! 9 turns later, you're back at the black market._


[19-Jul-18 09:20 PM] Twib#7809 "I'm feeling a looooooooooooooooooooooot better. Has Miss Rie come in yet? Alternatively, anybody bitch that I bought out all your stock?"


[19-Jul-18 09:20 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Shop manager]** You haven't been gone long enough, no-one came in since you bought stuff from me.

_As you know, 1 turn of waiting equals 6 minutes. To wait 2 hours, you need to wait 20 turns._ _Confirm?_


[19-Jul-18 09:21 PM] Twib#7809 "Pssssh." Confirmed!


[19-Jul-18 09:22 PM] Tempest#5018 Tick, tock... (( Please wait, while we're building Rie's stuff... _2:56 AM. After two hours of waiting, somebody enters the shop. A young kasha, wearing a black metal band t-shirt, shorts, and running shoes, makes an entrance. She's on the short side, with short, fiery red hair, equally fiery red eyes, black cat ears, a long, swishing black cat tail, and a fangy, cocky smirk on the face._

    • [Fireball]** Ooooi. I've been told to come here, I had to dodge a bunch of losers on the way, it better be good.


[19-Jul-18 09:54 PM] Twib#7809 "Oh my god you're perfect, you're right at my tits." "And speaking of those losers, we're murdering them and selling all of their shit back here." "Then doing it again at Raven City."


[19-Jul-18 09:56 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** EEEH? YOU'RE my employer? I didn't expect you to be a youkai like me!


[19-Jul-18 09:59 PM] Twib#7809 Reina shoots another cocky grin right back at her, sauntering towards the shortstack until Reina's looking right down at the flaming redhead. "Bitch, please. If a spitfire like you can be a merc for shits and giggles, I can absolutely hire a hellcat for shits and giggles."


[19-Jul-18 09:59 PM] Tempest#5018 _She **hops** - yes, **hops** - over to you, with a widening grin on the face._

    • [Fireball]** I think you and I will get along just fine! I'm Rie, but you knew that already, didn't you. _<She offers a hand to shake.>_


[19-Jul-18 10:01 PM] Twib#7809 Reina just grabs the catgirl's hand and shoves it onto her breasts. "Reina Miyako Knight. I think I'm becoming a little bit infamous, but you probably haven't heard of me yet." "And as you can probably feel, I 'tip' pretty well."


[19-Jul-18 10:02 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Ooo. You sound like you're all about the thrills and the excitement. Okay, I'm down! What are we doing next, boss?


[19-Jul-18 10:03 PM] Twib#7809 "Remember those dorks outside? We're gonna murder them."


[19-Jul-18 10:04 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Cool! Cuz they're fuckin' losers! They're not even awesome like the Yatela; at least these people run TOWNS.

_Rie "Fireball" Kirari is now your ally for the next seven days. Her contract ends on Quartema 29, at 2:59 AM._


[19-Jul-18 10:07 PM] Twib#7809 To the Town gate!


[19-Jul-18 10:08 PM] Tempest#5018 _When you have allies in tow, you may want to keep an eye on their **morale**. You can get an idea of how they feel by interacting with them, asking questions, and simply making sure they're alright. Do things they like, and their morale will go up. Do things they dislike, and it'll go down._ _High morale will ensure that this mercenary will remain loyal to you. You may even be more than simply employer and employee - who knows, maybe you'll make friends, and then some..._ _Low morale, however, will damage their willingness to keep working for you. If it's really low, it may even damage their opinion of you, and increase the likelihood that they'll quit on you. You do not want your mercs to be low on morale._ _You move to the town gate, traveling the 14 rooms separating the black market from your destination._ [Garica Block town gate]

_You enter the room from the north, therefore you are on Side 2, alongside your merc. The five marauders are on Side 1._ Combat mode is ON. Turn 1, what is your next move?

    • [Fireball]** _<Quietly>_ We do this slow and stealthy?


[19-Jul-18 10:17 PM] Twib#7809 "We do this fast and stealthy." 8 TB for Like the Wind, dive for cover!


[19-Jul-18 10:20 PM] Tempest#5018 Agi +4 for the next 10 turns. You also get Extreme Speed. _If you want your ally to do anything in particular, you can order them. Otherwise, they will try to be autonomous and do whatever they believe is best._ _If you have a particular strategy in mind, make sure to tell them._


[19-Jul-18 10:21 PM] Twib#7809 I trust that Rie understands to try to stealth like me?


[19-Jul-18 10:21 PM] Tempest#5018 She asked you, so yes, she understands. One moment _Both of you will attempt stealth cover. She has Agi +1, you have Agi +4. This makes for an average agility of 2.5, rounded up to 3._ Toss me a 2d6+3 please.


[19-Jul-18 10:23 PM] Twib#7809 /roll 2d6+3


[19-Jul-18 10:23 PM] Sidekick#6198 @Twib#7809: `2d6+3` = (4+6)+3 = 13


[19-Jul-18 10:23 PM] Tempest#5018 Extremely easily, both of you spent the turn taking cover. You are now both in cover, and stealth is active for your group. _One second please..._


[19-Jul-18 10:23 PM] Twib#7809 "So, 120 years old, huh?"


[19-Jul-18 10:26 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Marauder #2]** How much did we make?


[19-Jul-18 10:28 PM] Twib#7809 'Not enough for trying to hold an entire town hostage, you dumbfucks', Reina thinks but does not say.


[19-Jul-18 10:29 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Marauder #3]** So far, small change.
    • [Marauder #4]** Yeah, just a couple hundred coins...
    • [Marauder #2]** _Idiots!_ What do I pay you for?! You're supposed to rob people, not stand around and look pretty!


[19-Jul-18 10:30 PM] Twib#7809 So who amongst these fellows has the biggest gun?


[19-Jul-18 10:30 PM] Tempest#5018 _Turn 2. What is your next move?_ _Here's what you can see on each marauder:_

  1. 1 carries a bullpup combat rifle of some sort, and a pair of insulated gloves.
  2. 2, who appears to be the leader, has a light machine gun and a knife.
  3. 3 has a submachine gun and some kind of metal shiv.
  4. 4 carries a conventional rifle and another knife.
  5. 5 has a **really big** revolver and a nailed bat. The revolver doesn't look like it takes pistol rounds.


[19-Jul-18 10:32 PM] Twib#7809 "Rie, hold your fire - we'll find you a silencer after this." KSG-25, #5, two shots.

[19-Jul-18 10:33 PM] Twib#7809 "We'll have fun soon, I promise."

"There's something special in that area, so after we clear out the trash *there* we'll go explore the UA a bit. Hope you don't mind - and that you reload your Uzi while I desecrate these corpses."


[19-Jul-18 11:35 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Raven City? That tiny shithole in the Northwest? That's a loooooong ways away from here. Is that why you hired me for a week?
    • [Fireball]** ...oooh. Corpse desecration. _Cool._ Can I watch?


[19-Jul-18 11:36 PM] Twib#7809 "Nope! I have a shortcut. I hired you for a week because your profile made you sound super hot."


[19-Jul-18 11:36 PM] Tempest#5018 _Fireball does a little pose, and flashes a smirk at you._


[19-Jul-18 11:37 PM] Twib#7809 "I'm always the whore and never the John, so I figured I'd flip it around for a change. And a girl like you *doesn't* know how to butcher the corpses of her enemies? Wow, I'm surprised." "Yeah, you can watch." Time for unting EXP~


[19-Jul-18 11:38 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Well, I've never learned to do that for meat. Much less on humans. That's why I wanna watch. Not every day you get to see sapients being turned into salami.


[19-Jul-18 11:38 PM] Twib#7809 "I prefer sashimi, myself."


[19-Jul-18 11:38 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Ooh. What's your favorite kind? Mine's red tuna. _Of course._


[19-Jul-18 11:39 PM] Twib#7809 "What a plebian bitch you are, Rie. It's Yellowtail or bust." So, I don't care about the actual meat I get, so we can fast forward the callous desecration of human life?


[19-Jul-18 11:40 PM] Tempest#5018 4 turns spent, +4 SP in Hunting skill. Hunting skill: 73 SP _While you were busy cutting people up, Rie reloaded her Micro Uzi._ _She simply swapped magazines._


[19-Jul-18 11:43 PM] Twib#7809 "Alright - can you grab those rifles and guns for me, Rie? Just so we have more things to shoot with." "Then I'll show you a little secret of mine~"


[19-Jul-18 11:44 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** I don't have a whole lot of bag space, just this courier bag. Hope you don't intend me to haul all of that stuff too far.


[19-Jul-18 11:45 PM] Twib#7809 "It's no problem, I'll have a bigger bag for us eventually."


[19-Jul-18 11:46 PM] Tempest#5018 _Do you want a tally of the dead marauders' equipment?_


[19-Jul-18 11:46 PM] Twib#7809 Just the guns!


[19-Jul-18 11:47 PM] Tempest#5018 Do you want to know about the LBE as well? Fireball has only a small bag (courier bag) and a dump belt.


[19-Jul-18 11:48 PM] Twib#7809 Sure, actually. Maybe they have giant 150 LBEs.


[19-Jul-18 11:50 PM] Tempest#5018 Equipment on the floor (short list)

<Weapons> Combat rifle - Tavor X95 (5.56x45mm NATO) Handgear - Insulated gloves Machine gun - Norinco QJY-88 (5.8x42mm) Knife - Kizlyar DV-2 Submachine gun - CZ Sa vz. 26 (7.62x25mm Tokarev) Crude weapon - Metal shard Shotgun - KBP OTs-62 Revolver Shotgun (12 gauge) Two-handed club - Nailed bat

<LBE> Leg rig - Medic leg rig Tactical vest - Operators chest rig Tactical vest - TT-1C Shotgun vest Backpack - Field pack


[19-Jul-18 11:52 PM] Twib#7809 "Okay what the *fuck* is a 'Revolver Shotgun'. And also, Rie, why don't you put on those LBEs?" "Probably the chest rig is better than the shotgun vest."


[19-Jul-18 11:53 PM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Sweet. Time to go shopping - at no cost!

[19-Jul-18 11:54 PM] Twib#7809 "What the *fuck* is this."


[19-Jul-18 11:54 PM] Tempest#5018 _This one is loaded with 5 shells of Standard Slug. It is in good condition, but it is dirty._ (( Also why the fuck does it say Class 1? (( This should be Class 3! I apologize.


[19-Jul-18 11:55 PM] Twib#7809 OKAY I WAS GONNA SAY. "Since you have some free space, Rie, equip what weapons you can."


[19-Jul-18 11:59 PM] Tempest#5018 _Will you be taking anything of your own?_


[20-Jul-18 12:02 AM] Twib#7809 I'll toss the Revolver Shotgun into my bag, at least! "So what do you do when you're not being paid to murder people?"


[20-Jul-18 12:07 AM] Tempest#5018 BP / Main: 118.99 /150 _I forgot to add there's ammo for the guns as well._ _Not all guns, but most._ <Ammo> 2x Sa vz. 26 32-rd mags [32 /32 JHP, 7.62x25mm Tokarev, Standard JHP] each 10x 12 gauge, Standard Slug _You spent a turn grabbing the OTs-62, during which Fireball picked up and equipped the Operators chest rig._ [LBE] (Tactical vest) Operators chest rig - Capacity 2 units + Ammo 1 (6 mags only, max tier: Medium) + Ammo 2 (6 pistol mags only, max tier: Small) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/240638527170150400/469626961212342282/Tacvest_Rothco_Operators_chest_rig.jpg


[20-Jul-18 12:10 AM] Twib#7809 "It really accentuates your breasts."


[20-Jul-18 12:10 AM] Tempest#5018 _Like the Wind has run out._

    • [Fireball]** Pft, if you say so!


[20-Jul-18 12:11 AM] Twib#7809 "Trust me, I know my titties." To the Engineering tunnels!


[20-Jul-18 12:11 AM] Tempest#5018 _Fireball wants to do something else first._ _She wants the Field pack, and she wants to equip the submachine gun and the two magazines for it. (5 turns required)._


[20-Jul-18 12:13 AM] Twib#7809 That's more then fine~


[20-Jul-18 12:14 AM] Tempest#5018 _She spends 5 turns getting kitted out, upgrading her backpack and getting an extra firearm and ammo for it. She is unskilled with all Rifle skills, however; this is really just to have more automatic weapons at her disposal._


[20-Jul-18 12:14 AM] Twib#7809 Hey, it only takes ten kills.

    • [Fireball]** Suh-weet. I don't know how to shoot those very well, but more ammo is better, right?


[20-Jul-18 12:17 AM] Twib#7809 "Not always. After we do my little errand, we can go to the shooting range and train you up." "How do you feel about shotguns?"


[20-Jul-18 12:18 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** They're alright, I suppose. Not the same kind of up-and-personal thrill, but it's fun to blast entire chunks out of people, too.


[20-Jul-18 12:20 AM] Twib#7809 "Remind me to spar with you sometime." "I'd love to wrestle you to the ground."


[20-Jul-18 12:20 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Anything you like, boss, as long as it's fun.


[20-Jul-18 12:20 AM] Twib#7809 To the Engineering Tunnels! "I like to think I'm pretty fun."


[20-Jul-18 12:21 AM] Tempest#5018 _You've received 600 P$ on your account for having eliminated 4 of the 5 designated targets._ _Mercenary contract completed!_ Bank balance: 20 469.25 P$ Total contracts completed: 4 (4 minor, 0 major) Only one contract left, the one in Raven City. _4 rooms later, you move out of the town gate, and back to the generator facility and to the ESSN access point - much to Rie's surprise._

    • [Fireball]** Are we even supposed to be here?
    • [Engineer]** Oh, it's you! Did you deal with the problem at the town gate?


[20-Jul-18 12:23 AM] Twib#7809 "Four freshly butchered corpses rotting right outside. Now, which tunnel gets us closest to Raven City?" "And this, Rie, is why I'm not worried enough to hire a mercenary for a week's travel."


[20-Jul-18 12:24 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Engineer]** O-oh! Good job! And the youkai lady is with you?


[20-Jul-18 12:24 AM] Twib#7809 "Youkai bombshells gotta stick together. Isn't that right, Rie?"


[20-Jul-18 12:24 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Aw yeaaa.


[20-Jul-18 12:25 AM] Twib#7809 "So, that should do it. Now which way to Raven City and the Northwest Zone?"


[20-Jul-18 12:26 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Engineer]** Right, right... Well, if she's with you, she can travel with you, I suppose. Now... Raven City... You are looking at traveling to Station Delta, this is the NWZ access point. Raven City is just one UA trip away from Delta.
    • [Engineer]** I trust you're not in bad standing with the military, right?... Right?... You know why I'm asking...


[20-Jul-18 12:28 AM] Twib#7809 "I loooove men and women in uniform." "God, humans are way more fun than youkai - present company excluded, of course.>"


[20-Jul-18 12:28 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Engineer]** Okay, good, good... I'll return to my post. Safe travels to the both of you!


[20-Jul-18 12:29 AM] Twib#7809 "Are, uh - are you in good standing with the military, Rie?" Reina asks as they jump into the tunnels.


[20-Jul-18 12:29 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Pft. I'm a merc. Not an activist. We'll be fine.

_You go down the hatch along with your partner..._ _The trip to Station Delta will take a LONG time. It is 250 rooms away and it will last 22 hours._


[20-Jul-18 12:30 AM] Twib#7809 Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.


[20-Jul-18 12:33 AM] Tempest#5018 _Do you want to chat with Fireball while walking down the service tunnel?_ _Now would be a great time_


[20-Jul-18 12:34 AM] Twib#7809 "So you don't seem to be going through withdrawal. Your profile on MAIM wasn't, uh, *that* flattering."


[20-Jul-18 12:35 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** I've recently completed a course about that! I have an arrangement with them; once I'm done with a contract, my obligations are to go on rehab and get myself cured before I'm hired again.
    • [Fireball]** I'm hoping you have no problems with drugs? Because I love me a party favor from time to time... It's just another flavor of excitement, and you know what they say, don't eat too much of the same thing!


[20-Jul-18 12:37 AM] Twib#7809 "I don't partake myself, buuuut I'm sure I have something that's your scene here and there. Orgasms are the all-natural high for me. Hope you don't mind me getting my rocks off?"


[20-Jul-18 12:39 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Oh yeah, sex is plenty of fun too! So, tell me, what is it exactly that you do? You seem to be doing well for yourself, you don't even look like you _need_ a merc.


[20-Jul-18 12:41 AM] Twib#7809 "I'm a holy prostitute for the Four Gods. I supplement that with mining and mercenary work, whenever those idiot Angelics try to murder me for being heretical." Reina doesn't dare look at Rie, just waiting with sweet anticipation as they make their way through the tunnels.


[20-Jul-18 12:42 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** What? I thought holy prostitutes was a Demonic thing. Are you serving the Four Gods or are you, I dunno, mocking them? Because that sure sounds like heresy for an Angelic! Not that I care, I'm not really religious, but yknow, you meet all kinds...


[20-Jul-18 12:45 AM] Twib#7809 "I'm devoutly serving the Four Gods with all my heart. It's all of Heaven Ltd. that's gone nuts. We used to be a free loving religion, but all those Archangels no longer heard the Gods' voice, and in their panic decided to become more 'pure' in a vain attempt to regain their favor." "It's - it's not something any regular shrine maiden would know about. They're meaning well, but they're too blinded by the white wings and the booming voices." "At least the Demonics are just evil. There's nothing worse than evil that believes itself to be good."


[20-Jul-18 12:49 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Ehhh, that's so weird. The Demonics would love you, though, you seem to think that you have the "right" view on what the Angelics should be. I always thought Hell had the more correct idea, anyway. It should _be_ all about vices being virtues, living and loving freely, and all that stuff.
    • [Fireball]** I don't think they're evil! I think the Angelics are evil. What's more awful than a faith system that tells you how many rules you have to follow? Least with Hell, it's about all the things you can do, instead! It feels more like, "Look at all of the things you could indulge into and which we tell you are all good."


[20-Jul-18 12:54 AM] Twib#7809 "I actually had a Demonic boyfriend before he got called back to the front. The thing about Hell is that there's no *restraint*, not really. Without rules, you get lost in drunken hedonism instead of properly appreciating the pleasures of this mortal life. 'Rules exist so we can understand our freedoms', is what I was always taught." "He always disagreed with me, but the makeup sex was worth it every time."


[20-Jul-18 12:55 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Eeeeh. Rules always got in my way, yanno. If they happen NOT to, I don't mind them, but usually, what's fun is the "baaad" thing you're not supposed to do. So what if I'm inserting my tail inside of this severed dragon head, there's no law that says I can't do that! But I was told "lose the dragon head or get out". What a boooore.
    • [Fireball]** _<Beat>_ ...Maybe, in retrospect ,it was a little bit disgusting, but, you get what I mean!


[20-Jul-18 12:57 AM] Twib#7809 "I was about to weep for our incompatibility if you were actually into necrophilia. I like my rides to actually respond and not lie there like a literally dead fish."


[20-Jul-18 12:57 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Oh, that was a one-time thing, trust me! I don't do the dragon head thing anymore... or anything with dragons. I tried, but it's decidedly not as awesome as the mushrooms made me think it would be.


[20-Jul-18 12:58 AM] Twib#7809 "Hey, I'll have you know that dragons can be really attentive lovers, once you train them properly. Get them to think you're treasure, and they just become the sweetest things." "Shame I already cleared out Fort Silver though. I really wanted to come back with a bow and arrows so I could properly knock one out and capture it."


[20-Jul-18 01:00 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** I dunno what kind of dragons you met, but all of those I met were beyond taming. They'd rather fight to the death!


[20-Jul-18 01:01 AM] Twib#7809 "Well, maybe not the dragons *here,*" Reina admits. "They're a lot more animalistic than the ones at home."


[20-Jul-18 01:02 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** "At home"? You an otherworlder?


[20-Jul-18 01:03 AM] Twib#7809 "And the Contestant, if Heaven and Hell aren't lying to my face~" "The Heavenly Host in my home is a lot more like Mazeworld's Hell Inc. than Heaven LTD. The ARchangels are really, really doing it wrong."


[20-Jul-18 01:04 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Oh cool, I'm working for a VIP! This gets pretty interesting.
    • [Fireball]** So, like, why are we headed to crusty old Raven City anyway? Besides more deadbeats to kill.


[20-Jul-18 01:05 AM] Twib#7809 "I'm actually heading towards Roazon. Raven City's just a cover in case anyone gets fishy."


[20-Jul-18 01:05 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Roazon? The ghost town?!

_She looks excited._


[20-Jul-18 01:06 AM] Twib#7809 "I have a feeling. The Gods still speak to me, you know? Softly and gentle, from the depths of my mind. And they're telling me to go there.."


[20-Jul-18 01:06 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** I heard SO MANY RUMORS about this place!


[20-Jul-18 01:06 AM] Twib#7809 "That's how I know I'm in the right, and all of Heaven is wrong. But, well - I haven't done any research, at all, soooooo." She shrugs. "Wat kind of rumors?"


[20-Jul-18 01:07 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** I heard that people who go too far in that town never come back alive! That there's ghosts, or freakish scientific abominations, or stuff like that!
    • [Fireball]** We'll be pretty far from any kind of help once we're there, you know...
    • [Fireball]** I hope there are things to kill! Or weird stuff to look at and touch! Or, or, or, old experimental drugs to snort! THAT would be cool. I know, I just _know_ these scientists keep the best stuff hidden away.


[20-Jul-18 01:09 AM] Twib#7809 "Wait, drugs? ...Let me know if you find one that gives me my fucking cock back."


[20-Jul-18 01:10 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Oh yeah, I hallucinated that I had a cock, once, too! That's generally what happens after I've had too much ecstasy. You wouldn't believe how weird it feels to be extraordinarily horny but don't want to move an inch. It's like... You ever wished you could fuck air?


[20-Jul-18 01:11 AM] Twib#7809 "No, no no no no. You misunderstand. I had *both*. No ecstasy hallucinations required."


[20-Jul-18 01:42 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** ... Whoa. Your world must be amazing.


[20-Jul-18 01:47 AM] Twib#7809 "I know. Mazeworld's a shithole in comparison." "But once I get all Four Amulets and remake this place in my image or whatever-the-fuck, things will finally improve around here." To the Fort~?


[20-Jul-18 01:51 AM] Tempest#5018 _To Station Delta, rather!_


[20-Jul-18 01:52 AM] Twib#7809 I thought Station Delta was a military fort.


[20-Jul-18 01:52 AM] Tempest#5018 _It's an entire town which happens to be under the control of the military._


[20-Jul-18 01:53 AM] Twib#7809 Ah. Well, let's get goig.


[20-Jul-18 01:53 AM] Tempest#5018 _It is a new day! Metalsday, Quartema 23. The time is 12:56 AM. You and Fireball have traveled for 22 hours, and you are now in the remote, distant Northwestern Zone._ _You're now in Station Delta's generator facility, and you have emerged from the tunnels, and made it into the ESSN access point._ [Reputation] Military faction: -10 Rep / Indifferent _You're clear to enter the town._


[20-Jul-18 01:56 AM] Twib#7809 "Ever been to the shops here?" Reina doesn't care *that* much about shopping, for what it's worth. She just wants to get a good idea on the layout of the town before going to Roazoan.


[20-Jul-18 02:00 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** What, like, in this town? I don't really go to the Northwest at all usually. It's kind of a small town. I did hear they've got a nice dim sum joint with the best pork buns in the area... Oh, yeah, there's Jerry's, the local bar. You know Jerry's?


[20-Jul-18 02:01 AM] Twib#7809 "I don't know Jerry's. But I *do* know that a man without a pork bun is never a whole man."


[20-Jul-18 02:01 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Good, because it's TERRIBLE. The world's worst bar.


[20-Jul-18 02:03 AM] Twib#7809 "Then let's get outta here and go ghost busting."


[20-Jul-18 02:21 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Can we buy a drink first? I'm **super** thirsty. Like really bad. I need a drink.

_Fatigue: 59.5% - Tired_ _You could do with a bit of rest, as well._ _Or more coffee. Whatever works best. When was the last time you went to bed?_


[20-Jul-18 02:22 AM] Twib#7809 "Well, time to go to Jerry's, the worst bar in the world."


[20-Jul-18 02:22 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Yuck. If we must...


[20-Jul-18 02:24 AM] Twib#7809 "They can't possibly fuck up coffee, right?" How's my fatigue, by the by? Do I need to orgasm again?


[20-Jul-18 02:24 AM] Tempest#5018 If you meant Stress, you're at 6.1%.


[20-Jul-18 02:26 AM] Twib#7809 Yes, that is what I meant. So definitely need to Afterglow.


[20-Jul-18 02:26 AM] Tempest#5018 _You travel to Jerry's, the local bar, which is 11 rooms away. The local bar is... well, very much like an old unkempt bar, a drunkard hideout, a bottle fiend's cave. It's uninviting. Uninspired country music is playing on the speakers, and the bar counter is one room to the east._ _There are a few crusty, drink-filled people sitting at a table and another, here and there. You get the impression this is where people drink themselves away, not enjoy a good time._


[20-Jul-18 02:27 AM] Twib#7809 "You weren't kidding. Let's wet our whistles and get out of this dump." To the bar counter!


[20-Jul-18 02:29 AM] Tempest#5018 _The barkeep is boredly washing glasses and mugs. There's more crusty drunkards in the corners or slumped over the counter._


[20-Jul-18 02:30 AM] Twib#7809 "Whatever the lady wants is on me, but I want 15 Coffees."


[20-Jul-18 02:34 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Barkeep]** We don't like your kind 'round here...
    • [Fireball]** Serve her fifteen coffees, you fucking bozo.
    • [Barkeep]** That'll still be 22.50.


[20-Jul-18 02:35 AM] Twib#7809 "You're really missing out, handsome. But my money's good, I promise. No Tanuki Tricks." 22.50 from the bag! "And you, Rie?"


[20-Jul-18 02:35 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Me? Can you fucks do cocktails or should I only trust the contents of a bottle?
    • [Barkeep]** _Ugh._ F'n youkai... YES, we serve cocktails.
    • [Fireball]** _<Quietly, aimed at you.>_ I love when they say that, it's hilarious. _<Back to the barkeep>_ Gimme a Rusty AK. And if I'm not drunk enough, you'll serve me another.
    • [Fireball]** ...oh yeah, and give me five waters.

_That comes up to 22.50 for the coffee, 40 for the cocktail, and 5 for the water bottles._


[20-Jul-18 02:38 AM] Twib#7809 So 67.50 from the bag. "So how well *can* you hold your drink, Rie?"


[20-Jul-18 02:44 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Well, i'm a lightweight... Literally, have you seen how small I am? But that doesn't mean I can't have fun.
    • [Fireball]** But don't expect me to have oni endurance.


[20-Jul-18 02:46 AM] Twib#7809 "As long as you don't shoot me during your hangovers~"


[20-Jul-18 02:48 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Nah, I'm not that stupid!


[20-Jul-18 02:48 AM] Twib#7809 "I would hope not, or I'd need to handcuff you. But you'd probably get a kick out of that." While weathering all the glares they're receiving with her usual grace, Reina drags her stool closer to Rie's, 'till she can whisper in the kasha's ear. "Do you think he's getting our drinks slow on purpose?"


[20-Jul-18 02:50 AM] Tempest#5018 Money pouch: 114.50 P$ remaining (95 brass, 39 cuni), 1.34 /20 _Your 15 coffees have been served, and Rie received her cocktail and her five bottles of water._

[20-Jul-18 02:55 AM] Tempest#5018 You will effectively not lose any Stress (it will remain at 6.1%), but you will lose a net total of 57% Fatigue, which will leave you at 4.9%. Confirm?


[20-Jul-18 02:55 AM] Twib#7809 Yup. "We can rest at the hotel after we finish exploring."

    • [Fireball]** Depends on how much you need either.


[20-Jul-18 03:00 AM] Twib#7809 "Don't believe me? You can see the proof right between my legs." Afterglow is the best.


[20-Jul-18 03:02 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Gee, did you pee yourself? Or... _Snf. Snf._ No, that's definitely not pee. Is that a tanuki thing I didn't know about?


[20-Jul-18 03:03 AM] Twib#7809 "I looooooove coffee." "Alternatively, hands free masturbation! You decide." "Now let's get you liquored up and get going."


[20-Jul-18 03:05 AM] Tempest#5018 _Fireball downs her Rusty AK over the conversation. The barkeep pretends not to listen._


[20-Jul-18 03:07 AM] Twib#7809 "Alright. Let's blow this joint and never come back.."

[20-Jul-18 03:10 AM] Tempest#5018

    • [Fireball]** Whaaat? Noooo. Heehee. You're silly.

_She's tipsy. She'll be a little less accurate; but she's also healing Stress every turn._
