Ask to Join Scanners: A brave new world

[Jagson]

He looked at Knightingale before taking the blade. " Good eye." He said to her as he pressed the blade to his chest. " I hope this is still in tact." He thought as he pressed the blade into his chest stabbing his own heart. Jag coughed up blood as the seering pain moving across his body. He fell to the ground as his body disapered.

In the church in the center of the town Jag opened his eyes. " Fuck." He screamed as he still felt the pain from the knife. " Okay resurections still a thing." He thought as he walked back to them. He couldn't help but feel like something was off about himself. ' Weird he thought as he stopped near them. " Well we can still resurrect." He said.

 

[FrostCrispz]

"Well, next time, don't stab yourself with my sword." Con called over. He picked up the falled weapon, and stabbed the ground. It cleaned the blade so when he pulled it out, no blood. Con put back the tool on his back. "When we going?"

 

[Jagson]

" We're waiting for Re and anyone else who want's to join." He said as he looked at the man. " I had to make sure it would work. Besides if I didn't come back you would've known that if you die you die." he said as he cracked his neck.

 

[FrostCrispz]

"So, you kill yourself. Put me on charges for murder. End my market. Anything else?" He asked, raising his arms in question. "That's why I like you Jag."

 

[Jagson]

" Oh I'm sure you would find a PKer to take the blame." He said as he looked at them. " Alright Knight and Con meet me at the south exit. We head to Nashara." He said.

 

[FrostCrispz]

"Good. I needed to pick up some cash from the guilds their anyway. Rectime isn't cheap." Con said, turning to the south pothole. He stopped when he reached it, and walked to a street side vendor. Con got a soda and a chilli dog. He proceded to eat while waiting.

 

[Stormursa]

"Alright. I'm going to check a shop I saw on the way there. Seemed new and interesting," knight hummed and turned on her heel. She waved over her shoulder, walking away from the group. Her head turning back and forth every so often to observe the world.

 

[Jagson]

Jag walked to the southern gate and looked outwards. He let out a breath as he waited for the others. He stretched his arm out as he concentrated on it. He heard the chippering of birds as electricity started to appear in his arm. "So I still know everything I just have to relearn it in this new world." He said as he ran towards the nearest tree. He pressed his electrified hand onto the tree. It remained still for a good few seconds before breaking in half. He panted before walking back to the south entrance and waited.

 

[Stormursa]

Knight moved around npcs. She nodded her head to friendlier ones but in general she ignored people around her. Once she reached the shop she looked around for a bit before leaving for the gate.

 

[sSoul]

Re rushed to catch up as he was at a bar ordering some drinks, most of them were for him. "I bought these drunks that heal us after we are done in battle, and one bottle is beer because why not?" Re looked at his fellow players, "So are we going now?"

 

[FrostCrispz]

Con slowly shook his head. "I don't know. Not my call." He said to Re. Con bit into his chilli dog, and waited until the trip set off.

 

[Jagson]

" Well there was one more guy." Jag said remembering the man that scolded him. " But apparently he didn't want to show up. Alright let's get a move on." He said as he started to walk towards Nashara. He kept his Melee weapon out. Last thing he needed was to die and respond back in the Hub. " So guys anyone want to talk about them selves. " Since we can't fast travel this is going to be a long trip."

 

[Stormursa]

"We could have purchased horses. That probably would have been our best bet," knight hummed as she walked backwards. Her hands tucked behind her back. She fiddled with her gauntlets and shook her head, "hmm. What's the name of your guild? And is there anyone that any of us might know in it"?

 

[FrostCrispz]

"I can get us horses," Con said to the crew. "Just a click away." He pulled up his watch. A bright blue hologram pulled up. "Unless you guys want to walk?"

 

[Jagson]

Jag continued to walk s he talked. " We're called the Flying Aces." He said. " We usually specialize in getting rare objects as well as acting as body guards to new comers at a decent price of course." He said. " Unlike some people our business is legal." He said giving a halfway glance to Con. " I doubt you would know about any of us but other than me there's Gryph He's a grass primary that specializes in speed, Bloom a fire and dark witch while she specializes in defense her long range attacks can be pretty brutal if your unprepared for them, Darth Cadeus a dark electric man who works offensively. And Mia a balanced wind Primary." He then looked at Con. " Make it so." He said.

 

[Stormursa]

"Sounds pretty cool," Knight smiled and slowed down so she didnt Rush the group. She checked her menu again and sighed when it didn't work. She crossed her arms over her chest. Her eyes observing the group, "anyone else in a guild"?

 

[sSoul]

"I never liked joining guilds,I hunt guilds. But the ones with my friends in them get a pass." Re didn't know what made this enjoyable, especially since they could just resurrect themselves and his killing spree would have been for nothing.

 

[Jagson]

' Great.' Jag thought. ' I have a PKer in my party.' He thought. " If you try anything funny I will put you down in a heart beat." He said. " So what do you guys think is happening?"

 

[Stormursa]

"Could just be a glitch with the new update. Should be fixed once the devs realize it's here," Knight shrugged and took a step away from Re. She turned so that she faced forward. Her hands resting on her hips. She reached up and pushed some hair from her face, "wow. Even hair feels realer. Nice touch".

 

[Jagson]

" It's a bit uncanny in my opinion." Jag said as he slowed down to walk beside them. " So since were going to be stuck here for a few days we should get to know each other. I'm from Lacey, Washington." He said. " What about you guys?"

 

[FrostCrispz]

Halt turned to Jag. "I'm a Floridian. Orlando, in fact. To me, your a Yankee." He pulled out some tabs on his holographic menu, and found some horses to bring over. He sent a few things to trade, and finished the transaction. "Our rides are coming soon."

 

[sSoul]

"I don't kill for fun, usually, if I'm in a bad mood I kill, and if you are my enemy I kill, to be honest I wish I was a mercenary." Re looked at his skin and felt it, "Skin feels more realistic as well, as if it were real flesh instead of 0s and 1s." Re hoped his friends didn't turn against him.

 

[Stormursa]

"You both are Yankees to me then. Prince Rupert, British Columbia," knight smiled and crossed her arms. She looked over at re, shooting him a soft smile. Adjusting her gauntlets, she tried to make sure she didn't trip," don't worry. We are just worried because there are some pretty bad people out there and saying that you player kill didn't help".

 

[FrostCrispz]

Halt shrugged at the comment of PK. "So, you two never PKed before? Your records are clear?" He asked the two. Looking right to knight, with a straight forward expression, "And Yankee is a term Floridians use on northern people. We are as south as you get in America."

 

[Stormursa]

"Oh. Sorry, said that wrong. I do that sometimes," knight's face turned a darker shade as she blushed from embarrassment. She scratched the back of her head before dropping her hand back down, "yeah I've never pked. I've almost got into a fight with a player killer but they ran off when my friends showed up".

 

[Jagson]

" I beat people in the ring." Jag said. " But I don't openly PK people. I mean we might not die and all but I just feel weird after being revived." He said as he looked at them. He laughed. " So a yank a Canadian and a Confederate with another man that sounds like an opening to a bad joke." He said as he moved closer to them.

 

[FrostCrispz]

Halt chuckled at the comment. "How does it end?" He asked jokingly. He took out one of his knives, and started to sharpen it with a whetstone. "What exactly do you guys do? As in powers?"

 

[Jagson]

" I'm Lightning Air." He said looking at Halt. " I go in and attack people wreaking them while either new comers or my team members finish them off." He said looking at them. "I rely on my speed most of the time." He said.

 

[sSoul]

"I'm grass air and usually I defend which is ironic cause I'm a sporadical PK." Re chuckled and realized it was nice to go on this journey even if he may kill out of sheer bloodlust.

 

[Stormursa]

"Dude," Knight sighed and immediately took a step away from Re. She looked him over cautionsly before shaking her head. The knight tweaked the way one of her sleeves sat, "I use earth and grass. Seriously though re. You want us to trust you but you say stuff like that".

 

[sSoul]

"I'm just recognizing my problems. Who knows, after this I'll go to some kind of support group or something." Re now knew that he would have to earn their trust, it wouldn't be given to him. "So Jag, is there any distinguishing features about you're guild?"

 

[Jagson]

Jag thought for a second. " Nothing distinguishing." He said as he continued to lead them. " We're just a few people who wanted to form a guild." He said. " We protect the underpowered people." He said.

 

[Stormursa]

"Do you know if any of them were going to come on," Knight hummed and placed her hands in her hips. She looked the landscape around them before whistling softly. Her hands pulled out a small map of the area and she unfolded it, "this area looks nice. I wonder if they revamped it for the update"?

 

[Jagson]

"Yeah once we learned about the update we made plans to log in." He said. " Apparently I logged in over here. What about you guys anyone you guys know that was expose to log on." He said as he took in the visuals. " Damn this place looks amazing." He said. " And so life like." He said.

 

[sSoul]

Re took in the beautiful, lifelike scenery and heard Mac's question he replied with, " Not really, I'm the only one of my friends who is in to Scanners." He wondered if it was real life for a moment, but he dismissed this thought as it was probably the state of technology today.
