@HueMan Ain't we suppose to wait for you?
"You're not gonna get really buzzed on a cheap drink, maybe after four you'd feel it."
"Just from looking at our current party, Aura should be at the front and Karma will focus a majority of his healing on her.
Dub and Karma can support in the back and I will be in between to catch anything that might pass Aura. We should also focus on taking out targets on Aura's flanks to limit the damage she will take."
"Don't worry about it, Karma. I'm sure you'll do well - and I... well," Aura paused and briefly glanced over the others, exhaling a soft breath as she brought a hand up to her chin, resting it between her closed index finger and her thumb. "We will protect you." At least, she hoped they would. Even if there was no literal death involved, she wanted the three to be successful.

Since I was last to post in the group, I initiated the process of walking to the mission. You guys okay with that?
"I managed to see a message board with some quests on it. There was one to kill 10 boars, that sounds easy enough. We could also score some delicious boar meat!"
“Actually, I’ll be buying a drink now. I changed my mind,” Dubstepp bellowed. He took his time responding to the woman. “I was meaning to find the highest cliff and jump off of it after this drink, but your inspiring words have brought motivation to my life.” Dubstepp’s voice did have a sense of sarcasm and he even attempted to wipe a fake tear.
"The Wave Gear you are currently wearing has an ability to burst out microwave powerful enough to destroy the brain function of any man or woman. In short, should anyone with access to the programming of Talrae wishes so, you are capable of dying instantly on the spot."
"You will die for real if you die in-game. You will die if your connection to Talrae is broken. You will die if the power is cut to your Wave Gear. You will die if anyone attempts to tamper with Talrae game or Wave Gear. There is but one way for you to return alive..."
Dear Players,
everything you have heard from Malgoth is true, there is no malfunction in our game. The news channels you saw were real and this is not just some practical joke from us. This is no longer a simple game but a fight for survival. But nonetheless, we hope you enjoy your gaming experience and find whatever you are looking for in the world of Talrae. One more thing...Good Luck.
