Yours Truly

Loadout It was at this point that Jun found herself wishing that the harpies could understand her just as well as she could understand them, I mean their hostility was perfectly understandable after all, the whole group were a bunch of heavily armed and armored people whose actions could feasibly be seen as an attempt at invading their island home in what was admittedly a quite intimidating vessel. It was also at this point that Jun realized that she in fact had a method that could potentially allow them to understand what she was saying, no matter how crude said method was, and so she reached out with her newfound psionic powers to send the matriarch a few simple messages. Move 1: Use Voice Of Reason and Psionic Hello to try and send the matriarch a message that said "Hello my name is Jun, the five of us are explorers who came here in peace. We will not harm your people if you do not harm or otherwise hinder us while we explore the many islands present in the sky, and I apologize in advance for any injuries you sustain due to my colleague's actions." while she said so out loud with her actual mouth. This triggers her Theorywork passive action and the Harpy Matriarch's response will inevitably trigger her Diplomatic Experience action, and all rolls made that counts as a Diplomacy action (Theorywork, Diplomatic Experience, Psionic hello backed diplomacy action) are boosted by Basic Diplomacy's +10% bonus. Move 2: Use Voice Of Reason and Psionic Hello to send the matriarch a message that tries to convince the matriarch that she is genuinely suing for peace, and that Leo's actions were simply a well-intentioned attempt at ending the fight without any further harm done to both sides of the combat, that Toshiro simply didn't consider that peace was an option and wanted to protect his friends from the toughest looking combatant, and that Az and Rivers simply wanted to protect themselves. This triggers her Theorywork passive action and the Harpy Matriarch's response will inevitably trigger her Diplomatic Experience action, and all rolls made that counts as a Diplomacy action (Theorywork, Diplomatic Experience, Psionic hello backed diplomacy action) are boosted by Basic Diplomacy's +10% bonus. Voice of reason causes Jun to roll all diplomacy rolls she makes during the move she is using that action in to be rolled with advantage (Roll twice and use the highest result), Theorywork grants a stacking +1 bonus to all diplomacy checks/rolls every time it succeeds up to a total of +3, Jun's Weirdness Censor perk grants Jun a Dex*2 dodge chance, all Diplomacy rolls Jun makes are boosted by the +10% bonus granted by Basic Diplomacy.

After being thrown and badly beaten by a very scared child, the Zubat seems content to simply lie on the floor in front of Kayn and writhe in pain a little bit. Although while he presumably didn't know what a vacation was, he definitely looked like he could use one, especially after his trainer (8) free style kicked Zaru directly onto the Zubat's fragile, fragile body before she started to make a run for it.

"I forgot exact name of ride, but it was in the London Dungeon and ride was only fixed after tense moments of virus busting, you should be able to ask the technicians about the victim's NetNavi. Although from what I gathered from everyone else who fought against them, they weren't very talkative or informative." After saying this he slowly made a show of checking his wristwatch before he said, "But anyway officer it is getting late, the man I came to meet is gone, and I have yet to eat dinner, so if it is quite fine with you I will walk back to hotel and turn in for night."

Jun would deftly catch the thrown ore with one hand as she leaned down and rummaged through the contents of the chest to take what she assumed was a fair share of gold (10 gold coins) and packed the rest up to bring to the ship for safekeeping/further distribution to the rest of the party. She quickly pocketed the ore before she moved up and asked, "Well other than jewelry, is there anything in particular that the two of you could make if given a sufficient quantity of ore?."

Ahmed and unit 18 decided to do the one reasonable thing he could perform in this situation, he threw away his progressive knives so that Asuka couldn't grab onto it, he opened Unit 18's maw to reveal the amount of sharp teeth the EVA had (read: Too many), and he bit down hard on any part of Unit 02's body he could reach while his hands tried its best to simultaneously hold her down and tear off her umbilical cord.

Radovan personally could not believe that he was one of the three cadets who first made it to the scheduled debriefing, and he quietly bemoaned the fact that none of the other cadets were tall enough for him to be able to hide behind; as he would have taken the opportunity to send the missing persons a short message that would have simply asked them, "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?", or girl in the case of the conspicuously missing Shelly and uhh...who was the other missing girl called again? Ai or something? Whatever. "Sadly we are unable to provide any more information about the trapped Wailord at this time, as I think that every cadet who went off to deal with that issue are conspicuously absent it seems, but overall I'd say that everything seemed to work out alright. Although in the end I do think that we made a bit of a whoopsie daisy when we accidentally caused what was probably an avatar of death itself to form by knocking out the Pixie core, but at least it went down pretty quickly."

"It's a slang word for a psychic or someone who can predict the future, I think it's based off of the last name of a certain William Gibson, who popularized an entire genre of books that served to predict exactly how fucked the world I used to live in was, which is part of the reason why I agree with Nader so much," he looked around slightly before he lowered the tone of his voice and said, "It's kind of hard to not be at least a little bit paranoid when all of the world's nothing but a 'rough part of the city', especially when that hypothetical kid you thought had a grenade could always be some hostile fire spirit under the command of an extremely dickish poindexter who wants to kill you or an extremely lifelike attack drone," Alan's expression darkened for a moment as he said, "This is all of course barring the possibility that some demented fragger made damn sure that the kid is the grenade." He let out a little sigh before he turned back to face Harry and asked, "But anyway I have a question, can you actually project your concious self out of your body or was that just a load of drek the info bro kept insisting was true?."

Before Nadine could so much as lay her hands on the unconscious creature to lift her up he immediately knelt down and tore Creature's holy symbol away from her and inspected it for any obvious demonic influences and profanity, which of course was pretty easy to find as it was literally an unholy symbol made by a demon worshiper to channel the 'divine' power of a demon, which is why he immediately did the reasonable thing and tried to crush and shatter it like all of the hopes and dreams of everyone who were a victim to a demonic cult were using his morningstar. "If it were up to me I would have simply left her here, as I do not think that rescuing this traitorous creature's not worth the effort, but as Mainhun Shukur is a merciful god and I am naught but his humble servant I have decided that she will simply have to stand trial."

Kaeso slowly walks towards Feulin and searches the man's body for any written confession of his misdeeds or any other evidence, unfortunately finding nothing of interest other than a set of playing cards, a half finished flask of alcohol, what appears to be a portrait of the sky carved into a wood block, 4sp, 7cp from a coin pouch, a pin with an upward pointing arrow that has sprouted wings with a script he does not recognize written on it, and a shortsword. Although he does also find a parchment with that same foreign script but what appears to be different words. He then decides to release his frustration at his own inability to find any particularly damning evidence by casually backhanding the Creature on the face with his Morningstar (13, 13 damage). He then turned around to everyone else and said "I know that this all will sound pretty damn hypocritical now, but I hate traitors." He then removed the creature's cloak and used it to clean his morningstar from the mixture of Kenku and human blood as he started to walk towards the rest of the group, "Now unless all of you wants to face the captain's wrath, I suggest that we start to clean this mess up and hide the bodies and our own persons."

Alan smiled as he said "Hey no offense," his head tilted slightly to the left as he raised both of his hand's palms up, "But you did say that Doctor Tygan had never worked on a fully functional Sectopod before, and I am admittedly a bit worried that knowing of how to best take ADVENT machines apart and disable them might not translate well enough into putting one back together." After saying that he shrugged just before he turned around to face Harry and said, "But anyway, I can do a whole lot more to help than just coding actually, although if all goes well I wouldn't need to actually make any modifications in the meatspace.. also I honestly don't know if that works any differently where you come from, but I don't think that being a Gibson's going to help you control any drones doc, not unless you're using it to manipulate the drone's manual controls from a distance anyway. Of course there's always the chance that ADVENT had already found a way to do just that in the past and XCOM has already reverse engineered whatever it is they are theoretically using for that, in which case I am just spouting a lot of drek out of my mouth." He then quietly made a mental note to underline whatever note he actually had on his person about never getting on Nader's wrong side, and he found himself wondering what sort of deathtrap (or Asylum) the man must have lived in back on his home world as he said, "Surprisingly enough I actually agree with Nader on this one; you can never really be too careful on a run, never know who's going to stab you in the back or suddenly appear through the corridor you didn't check well enough or decide that they are going to work overtime the one time where your plan hinges around them not doing that exact same thing and pretending to be the guy who is here to relieve him of his duty, or that one time where an unfortunate series of events that started with not accounting for the presence of a recently placed security camera led to half of the team running into the world's most dedicated security guard."

"BECAUSE I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE KNOWS THAT THIS PLACE EVEN EXISTS!" she said with a slightly manic tone to her voice as she ran towards Kayn and tried to kick the shorter man down to the floor (6) which succeeded in knocking him back a fair bit, although he barely managed to balance his other foot on Aster's crotch once more. Of course rather unfortunately the woman's Zubat had a much greater amount of luck (11) as it plowed into Zayn at high speeds and sent him flying back for a couple of feet before he finally crashed down onto the floor.

Jun had circled around the building in search of anything of interest earlier, and after finding, opening up, and bringing back a pebble sized sample of the silvery metal she had uncovered to try and ask Toshiro and Leo to identify it, after the two of them recognized it as a lump of platinum and Leo had done his usual business on the metal she would head out to try and help lead the mining golems to the vein before she explored the place a little bit more.

"Florens Harrison was shot?..." Vlastimir did his best to appear surprised by this revelation as he put his PET back inside of his coat's pocket, "Am sorry officer but I won't be much help, do not know Harrison as much as would like to, only came here to speak with man after find his NetNavi with many his Virus in ride system and vainly tried to have conversation while fending off oilly attacks, NetNavi mentioned operator's name and location and asked for help and forgiveness before deletion, but was too busy calming down small child in dark ride for more than twenty minutes and going on tour bus to meet man and shout at man for ruin part of holiday. Surprised to learn that Harrison was shot before got here."

Vlastimir would quietly approach the least stern looking police officer on the entire street and tried his best to look like a confused and amenable tourist as he took out his PET and made a show of turning on a translator program as he asked, "Am sorry to ask but why is road block? Did something happen? was coming here to meet with, new friend named Harrison to ask about virus, omega and netbattle but had business, and came later than expected, he told me his contact information but forgot due to busy, was wondering if you met anyone by that name when blocking road and knew how his contact or family? Think first name was something particular like Forens? or Florns?." he scratched his head a little as he made a show of standing a little bit taller and weaving from side to side to try and make it seem as if he was getting a better look of the area behind the police officer.

Vlastimir shrugged and ordered his netnavi to collect the contact information of the three reporters before he jacked out with his Netnavi and took the tube to the scene of the crime.

Vlastimir would then order Orenucu to search for any further information about Florens, any possible relatives or any information about the man's netnavi as well as asking one of the attendants about this 'Omega' organization and whether or not it has spread into London, simply out of curiosity of course...or so he would say. He also searched for any more information he could dig up about the murder and the scene of the crime himself, including watching the news feed and generally trying to get any more information about anyone who is reporting or writing a story about said crime. He would also leave for the scene of the crime itself if that would allow him to stay connected to the London Net Area.

Vlastimir quietly bemoaned the loss of the man who suspiciously enough had the same first name as OilMan.EXE's operator and was murdered in an incredibly suspicious and obviously criminal manner some time after his keyholder Navi was defeated, as chances are the man could have been of some use to him as a source of information after a bit of convincing. Although he had to admit that even if he had managed to find the man he would have really had nothing to offer other than a chance to get back at whatever the shadowy organization that decided to kill him off was called, as in all honesty he had no extraction plan, no back up, and no pseudo governmental backing; not this time anyway. He considered the many ways he could use to try and find out a bit more behind the death of the man he presumed to be Oilman.EXE's mysterious operator, and to find out if Omega had anything to do with any of this. And to this end he sent his Netnavi to look for whatever information it could dig up about Lambeth place, any new information uncovered about the deceased, and to ask around for information about the 'ethnic mafia groups' that could have done this, and most importantly of all...any scraps of information he could dig up that somehow ties this 'Florens ' with the WWW key race and 'Florens Harisson' or 'Oilman.EXE'. Net battling could quite frankly wait.

Move 1: Jun uses "I need healing" to grant Leo an extra action on Jun's current move that he can only use to heal Jun using the one single target healing move he has, which is Channel Move 2: She then attacks the cloud with the bow presuming she survives the hit Move 3: Attack the cloud with the bow again. Passive effects: Jun still has her Dex*2 Dodge Chance (Which so far has done nothing), Ambush Hunter which will trigger assuming Jun survives for long enough to attack it twice.

Kaeso is in all honesty quite sick and tired of all of the kenku's bullshit by this point as he quickly raised his morningstar up to hit Fuelin directly on the man's beaked face with a rather devastating uppercut (21 to hit, 8 to damage(, sending the craven kenku flying back for a brief and slightly glorious moment before he sprawled out on the floor in an unconscious and slowly bleeding pile. He then shot the creature a dirty and hopefully more than slightly intimidating look as he shouted out, "OH SURE, LET'S ALL START RANDOMLY ATTACKING PEOPLE FOR NO REASON FROM NOW ON! BECAUSE THAT IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA," he rolled his eyes at He ran towards the nearest Kenku to meet them head on immediately after he said that.

El Tiburón, Colony 6, Attack Talking Grimm

((5)) Well on the bright side the Ariados is now unconcious and potentially bleeding out, but on the other hand its last action (7) was to spray a peculiarly thick webbing directly on Frostbite's face, attaching him to a nearby tree trunk as the Ariados slid on the damp tree trunk and plummeted down onto the cold and hard forest floor. (8) Aster quickly freed whichever hand he was holding the knife with and his right leg before anyone could try to stop him from doing anything. To Kaynus's credit his sudden tumble prevented the Zubat (6) from swooping down and trying its best to tear out his throat as it crashed onto him and knocked him off of the Zubat's mistress instead, but rather unfortunately he soon found fighting a losing battle against a stronger and older woman the moment he was bumped off of said woman's woman's derriere (12), a battle that ended with the woman almost breaking his arm after she wrestled him down to the ground on purpose and not because she slipped when she attempted to throw a punch at him and fell on the little man chest first, "STAY DOWN!."

Move 1: Replace the needle of agony with the Terraria Copper Bow: Deals 2d6+[Dex], High-fantasy themed. Level 2(Crafting): +3 damage, once per plot the user may invoke a 50% crit chance(overrides other crit chances) for double damage in Jun's loadout. Move 2: Jump away and attack the cloud with the bow while invoking the 50% crit chance Move 3: Attack the cloud with the bow again.

Kayn's attempt at removing the string shot from Aster's face, while well intentioned was rather unfortunately a bit misguided as he soon found himself accidentally scratching at Aster's uncovered face in a way that rather painfully popped the man's broken nose somewhat back in its place. Zaru could barely perceive anything in the not very well lit room they two of them soon found themselves in, but luckily enough his eyes adjusted to the dimmer light quickly enough to spot the Zubat as it rapidly flew towards his companion, and he barely managed to slap the damned thing away from the two of them in time before it could get close enough to snap its wicked fangs shut on anyone's slightly exposed throat. (9) Frostbite managed to use the Ariados's speed and ferocity against it as it basically impaled a part of itself on the Sneasel's wickedly sharp claws, (5) but rather unfortunately his attempt to slam the much heavier and stronger Pokemon into the tree quickly turned into an attempt to slam the much heavier and stronger Pokemon into the tree with him, causing the two of them to potentially let out a slight cry of pain as Frostbite's claws dug in just a tiny bit deeper...before the Sneasel took the opportunity to (10) slam down a flurry of icicles down onto the creature he found himself stuck to, causing it to let out another cry of pain as it in all honesty was starting to seem as if it was on its last legs. (5) Aster successfully managed to reach his pocket knife with his improved and adrenaline powered agility. (3) Although his attempt at intimidating the woman could have used a lot of work...as the tone affected to his words by his broken nose caused him to come off as being desperate and slightly pathetic instead of defiant and dangerous. (7) While the woman didn't notice Aster's attempts to break out of his bindings, she did notice that there was in fact another head she could kick to cause him to potentially pass out, and to put it rather simply and tastefully, Aster would perhaps find himself struggling against the urge to cover himself as she prepared to kick him in that exact same spot again and yelled out, "SURRENDER NOW!." Although a part of Kaynus and Aster would perhaps find themselves asking, 'To you and what army?' as she honestly seemed to be here by herself.

Vlastimir had quickly pulled out a pair of headphones from somewhere underneath his coat and slotted it inside of his PET a few moments after Kenji made his request known, and he smiled slightly as he leaned back on his seat and put the headphones on, "Vlastimir would honestly enjoy see all you try to take oil away from Croatian, learnt thing or two from bigger and colder neighbor about keep oil." He greeted Midori with a warm smile as he took off his headphones, causing the sound of an accordion being frenetically played to be barely heard by everyone in his immediate surroundings as he said, "Do you know of other interesting place or landmark that I could go to? And where you going tonight?." After he got his answer and everyone arrived at the hotel to claim their keys he would leave to: A. Insert the following chips inside of the nearest chip trader (Slow Gauge C, Long Sword L, and Tornado D) B. Purchase and install the following programs: Warp (1500 zenny), HP Memory (600 zenny), HP Memory (1200 zenny) C. Purchase a Mini Energy D. Catch up on local news E. Go looking for more Virus or Netbattling related trouble to scrounge up some more zenny And afterwards he would check the time to see if he still has enough time to try and scrounge up more money with his accordion playing before he went to sleep.
