[23:30] It's a lovely summer day in Suburbia, Korea. Okay, so that's not what it's *really* called, but it's a suburb, and therefore... right. Anyway, it's a bit hot, but this isn't a big deal since a steady, cool breeze is filtering its way to you. [23:31] You, by the way, are lounging around on a comfortable lawnchair. Even seventy years in the future, people sit on those things. You're doing whatever you like... but are most likely hooked up, you Internet junkie you. [23:31] Intro session start. [23:32] * Eui-Tae frags another newb on B.Net. [23:32] Sucker! [23:33] * Eui-Tae is currently, as you said, lounging in a chair, upright, and starring straight at his laptop's screen. [23:34] *** Yu-Mei has joined #Planet [23:34] (Hola Yu. ^_^) [23:34] (*peek*) [23:34] ( Greetings. ^.^ ) [23:34] (Yo) [23:35] The newb in question makes a somewhat miraculous recovery. You figure it's ten percent skill and ninety percent luck, as the hyper-golems decide to ignore him in favor of attacking you. [23:36] Ah... stupid newbs... nothing a few nukes won't take care of... [23:36] * Eui-Tae begins to rapidly click and micromanage his units. [23:37] The units micromanage obediently. How nice of them. [23:37] * Eui-Tae listens as the sound of multiple warnings of incomming nukes... and grins happily. [23:37] Perception check! [23:38] 2d6-4 [23:38] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eui-Tae (2d6-4) and gets 5. [23:38] Just as you order the nukes to strike, you hear a dull thud from above. [23:39] * Eui-Tae looks up, wondering what could have caused it. [23:39] A bird's spiraling out of control. And it's coming straight towards you. Body roll. [23:39] 2d6 [23:39] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eui-Tae (2d6) and gets 6. [23:40] You try to scramble out of the way, but fail, as the bird crashes onto your keyboard. [23:41] It's a garden-variety pigeon. [23:41] Dangit! [23:41] (And if they don't have pigeons in Korea, they do now. :P) [23:42] * Eui-Tae picks up the bird and tries to check for it's vital signs. [23:42] Guess I'm going down a few rankings toady... [23:42] Since it's fluttering its wings, you're pretty sure it's alive. Give me a biology (zoology) roll. [23:43] 2d6-3 [23:43] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eui-Tae (2d6-3) and gets 3. [23:43] (Creamed. :P) [23:43] (Yay :P) [23:44] *** Yu-Mei has quit IRC (Quit: Error, error! ) [23:44] The bird's in a state of shock so it doesn't do anything as you check it over. You find what's likely the cause of this; a number of bones are broken, probably from a slung or thrown rock. It's a wonder the bird's still alive. [23:45] Hrmm... [23:47] You hear the sound of running feet and someone yell, "I think it fell this way!" [23:47] * Eui-Tae goes to his laptop and starts searching the web for any nearby medical areas that treat pigeons. [23:48] The pigeon's on your laptop, stupid. [23:48] (What kind of voice was it? [23:48] ) [23:49] (Young.) [23:49] The sounds are getting closer, now. They're talking, but you're not sure what about - they do sound excited, though. [23:49] * Eui-Tae picks up the laptop and the pigeon and moves inside the house with both of them. [23:50] Just as you're about to enter the house, you spot three kids run onto the lawn. They look like they're in junior high, or maybe just starting high school. One of them's carrying a homemade sling. [23:51] * Eui-Tae sets the two pieces down, and stares st the kids, espically the one with the sling. [23:52] They stop when they notice you. The one with the sling notices the pigeon and his eyes light up, and then he notices you and blinks. He's probably about thirteen or fourteen; he's not all that much smaller than you, really. [23:53] What do you kids think you're doing? [23:53] "Um," he says, then hesitates. He tries again. "That's my bird. Can I have it back?" [23:54] * Eui-Tae starts to glare harder... [23:55] So, you are telling me that YOU just set YOUR bird free, shot it with a slingshot, and caused an unspeakable amount of trauma to a poor defensless creature?! [23:55] Okay, now if that wasn't enough, what really ticks me off is that YOU MADE ME LOOSE MY GAME! [23:55] He yelps and takes a step back towards his friends. "Uh... no! I mean, I shot it, and so it's mine, and... huh?" [23:56] You have any idea how hard it is to stay up in the rankings when you loose to a newb like that poor sap was?! [23:56] It dropps you like a rock! [23:56] Like the rock you shot at the bird! [23:57] Now that bird is building up with [RAGE] and this [RAGE] is going to kick your arse! [23:57] Now, what do you have to say for yourself... punk. [23:57] The kid actually looks a little frightened now. Evidently, he's not used to people yelling at him because of a game. Or a bird. Or rage. [23:58] "I... uh... sorry?" he manages. [23:58] Well... Just don't do it again... and. [23:58] * Eui-Tae tries to snatch his slingshot. [23:58] "Hey!" He pulls the sling out of the way. "I made that!" [23:59] The other kids, by now, have had the sense to get the hfil out of dodge. [23:59] And you just ruined my game with it. Do you think you have the right to disrupt the fabric of suburban living with a contraption like that? [00:00] *** Yu-Mei has joined #Planet [00:00] "I... uh..." His eyes glance right, then left, then he bolts. [00:00] * Eui-Tae chooses not to presue. [00:01] * Eui-Tae scowls "Damn kids..." [00:01] The bird makes a strangled cooing sound. You hear someone running down the stairs at breakneck speed. [00:01] Is that you Jae-Eun?? [00:03] "I heard lotsa yelling so I ran down as fast as I can and OH MY GOD, the poor birdie!" Jae-Eun scoops up the pigeon and peers at it. [00:03] Hey, don't hurt it, it's traumatized at the moment. [00:04] The bird flaps indignantly. Or it would, if it weren't so injured. Jae-Eun just nodnods and peers at it. "Are we gonna keep it?" [00:04] ... I don't think that would a good idea. Perhaps nurse it back to health, but we won't be keeping it. [00:05] "Oh." She considers that for a moment. "Okay. I'm gonna call Dad 'bout it. Mom'd probably freak if I ruined her game." She runs inside, bird in hand. [00:05] Good... you do that. [00:06] Perception check. [00:06] 2d6-4 [00:06] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eui-Tae (2d6-4) and gets 0. [00:06] You notice just in time for something to small and hard to beam you in the head. [00:06] (*kicks the Typo Demon*) [00:07] Ow! [00:07] * Eui-Tae rubs his head... "Why is everything hitting me in the head today?" [00:07] * Eui-Tae starts to look for what hit him. [00:07] The bird didn't hit you in the head. But that's not the point. [00:08] There's a shiny on the ground, just a bit away from where you're standing. [00:08] * Eui-Tae picks up his laptop and walks over to where the object is. [00:09] Upon closer inspection... it's a ring. [00:10] Hrmm... I'd better let the guys have a look at this... Rings falling from the sky are definetly not normal... [00:10] The ring does not reply. [00:11] * Eui-Tae walks into the house, logs on, and scans the ring. [00:11] The ring lies on the ground where you left it. One step at a time, mister. [00:11] D'oh... almost forgot you... [00:11] * Eui-Tae picks up the ring and then goes back into the house. [00:12] * Eui-Tae scans the ring and starts searching the web for any trace of this object. [00:12] The ring, now that you have a closer look, is gold, with a clear gem set into it. The gold looks real, and the gem might be a diamond, but you're not jeweler. [00:12] (Not a, even.) [00:13] Hrmm... Diamond rings, gold rings... where's the 'special' rings section. [00:13] Ah... there it is... [00:14] * Eui-Tae starts to run a search program on the database. [00:15] You find a *lot* of missing gold and diamond rings out there. Not that it's a surprise, since it's fairly popular. [00:15] Hrmm... [00:15] Roll soul. [00:15] 2d6 [00:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eui-Tae (2d6) and gets 8. [00:16] You feel the sudden urge to take a closer look at the ring. [00:16] * Eui-Tae takes a closer look at the ring. [00:17] You pick it up! Upon closer inspection, something about it - and you're not sure what - is just *different*, though not in a bad, or even frightening way. [00:18] Hrmm... Well, I wonder if this is like the blue or red pill... I always wondered what would happen if someone ate both. [00:19] (Swallow the ring and I will EAT YOUR SOUL.) [00:19] * Eui-Tae places the ring on his finger, "Here goes nothing." [00:20] (I heard my soul tastes pretty nasty actually...) [00:20] It fits perfectly on your right index finger. [00:20] (Says you. :9) [00:20] Heh, perfect fit... perfect fit? [00:20] Seems someone wanted me to have this... [00:21] You feel a light breeze pick up around you, which is odd, since you're indoors. It swirls, cooling your skin, and you have a moment of lightheadedness before your world turns white. [00:21] Intro session end.
