NeziulFirst one, then another. Two more boys seemed to show up and now that Sumi was inside a Psuedospace with no one around she could tell they probably had the same 'strength' as Sasha. She grew silent for a moment, not really paying attention to how one boy thought this was some form of yuri encounter, so it wasn't something she noticed. She got off of Sasha, the yellow glow around her other first dissipating as she looked at the three of them. Sumi could tell that they all weren't normal and that they all had some form of power within them. She could tell because their Ki was greater than that of a normal person's.
She was standing now, letting Sasha stand up on her own. She was still slightly ready to attack at any time, but now she was willing to let them at least explain themselves before she attacked. "If you're not working for anyone and your not normal humans... then who are you?" She was glaring at them still, but not really in a intimidating way, but just with her eyes slightly narrowed and her body in a subtle fighting stance. She was clearly an expert of martial arts from the way she took down Sasha, that yellow glow reappearing around both of her hands again.
"Also why did you approach me if you aren't working for anyone then?" She wasn't stupid. It was clear from the tone of that question she saw through the 'you dropped this' ruse as she dropped no such item. Plus Sasha suddenly having two other associates in the Psuedospace as well weren't exactly helping her case.

Posted. Now we have more plot.
Note that I do actually make things like Observation or other such Talent or Stat rolls for NPCs, but I keep it secret when I do (there was a really, really high roll that Sumi needed to get to detect Sasha's power (not the Gamer power, but the whole inner strength, ki/mana stuff, you know like they do in DBZ, Bleach, or every other shounen battle anime ever created) and she managed to barely succeed)

Sumi turned around when Sasha tapped her shoulder, her blue eyes looking back at Sasha. Despite being level 23 she looked like she was still in high school, probably about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was about to remark that she didn't drop any cans of pepper spray, but when asked about her hair she brushed her fingers through it for a moment before pulling out a notepad from her bag, or so she was about to, but she seemed to look at Sasha for a few moments. Before she looked she seemed like a more quiet, shy type of girl, but suddenly she snapped her fingers and underwent a complete change.
A familiar sight would greet Sasha's eyes. The area seemed to become devoid of electric lights, people, and other forms of sounds that were coming from the crowded area. Luckily Mike and Silas wouldn't be too far away so they would have gotten caught in the Pseudospace as well. That was when, all of a sudden, she attacked.
Sumi ???: 13
Sasha Dodge: 78 - 21 Acrobatics = 67
Hit...
What she did would have moved too fast for Sasha to see it as next thing Sasha would know was that the girl, who actually seemed to be several inches taller than Ren, was grabbing her, attempting to throw her down onto the ground using what was probably a judo or other form of martial arts move in the same instant that she grabbed Sasha by the back of her collar and by the hem of the bottom of her shirt.
Sumi Grapple: 1 (not a Crit)
Sasha Escape: 94 - 21 Acrobatics = 73
Sasha would find herself on the ground in that next moment, one hand pinning her down to it by her neck. The hand did not squeeze, but it wasn't unreasonable to say that it would if Sasha tried anything. The other hand was raised in the air, a yellowish glow forming around it as she looked down at Sasha. Her previously more shy demeanor was now a much colder, more sinister one who clearly had the intent to kill Sasha if she made the wrong move.
"Who are you working for? Your power seems weak, but its clearly more than an ordinary person's. Which group sent you after me?" Her voice was direct and to the point, her hand on Sasha's neck applying just enough pressure to irritate her breathing. Not cut it off, so she could still breath, but just enough for it to certainly feel unpleasant. Silas and Mike would have been able to see the entire thing, or more accurately see that one moment Sasha was standing and the next she was on the ground being pinned by this strange girl, who looked like she meant business.
It seemed like there would be trouble unless someone started speaking some sense to this clearly much more powerful opponent.

Ill post for Sasha's group in a bit.
RPG is back online.
Haven't you played games? In Games all affects are immediate :3 (that is literally something that the MC of the Manwha says, not word for word, but that's pretty much it).
When you heal or increase stats or other such stuff you feel the affects of it immediately.
Anyway for your group its your turn to post Val.

Posted. Both groups run into someone. Whether or not any of you want to give chase or leave well enough alone is up to you.
Silas would feel small changes as he applied his stat points. Since he only put two in Wisdom and Intelligence he would feel his mind growing sharper and his smarts and cognition growing by a small bit. Sasha would have felt the same, her natural qualities improving based upon where she applied the Stats and how much she increased them, which since she only put two in four of her Stats wasn't too great of an increase, but it was there. It really did appear that by applying Stat Points to one's Stats that their physical and mental capabilities increased based upon how they increased them.
"Alright. We shall take the Business District then". Neo-Tokyo was divided into four districts. The Entertainment District. Home to most entertainment businesses like clubs, malls (the main one being Septemberes) and was pretty much like Akihabara in a sense only it was more for all forms of entertainment rather than just otakus. The Port Island District was a combination of educational, residential, and businesses from just simple grocery stores or other small businesses to a few residential areas and the schools, Gekkoukan and Neo-Tokyo U being two of the more prominent ones. The Business District was pretty much mostly shops and stores. Residential here and there with a few schools, but was mostly larger companies, stores, restaurants, and other forms of businesses. Then finally there was the Residential District. This was where the bulk of the residence areas were with more grocery stores, restaurants, and other small shops mixed in. This district had a few places of entertainment like movie theaters or arcades, but those were rather small and people attended them for convenience rather than quality (since one usually went to the Entertainment District (also nicknamed Neo Akiba) for such things). The main thing there was the many residential areas, a couple of schools, and the grocery stores and restaurants. Of course these districts actually all had official names, but people usually referred to them by these nicknames.
"After we are finished searching our respective districts we will contact each other through our Messaging System to see if the other group has learned anything. Also if you do happen to see someone with a strange class..." Ren paused for a moment, wondering just how to word this. Would other power users attack them on the spot? He was unsure, but it was always best to be safe. People like them were probably of much higher levels right now. "Be careful of how you approach... and try leveling up the Observe Skill if you can by using it on random people. It helps. Just don't go shouting it everywhere or you'll sound foolish".
After that the two groups went their separate ways, Ren not really one for goodbyes as he just sort of walked away, expecting (but not really caring otherwise) for Lucian to follow since he wanted to go with Ren. Ren and Lucian went to the Business District while the other group went to the Entertainment District. Ren figured that if there were power users anywhere then perhaps they ran different forms of businesses like antique shops, dojos, or even medicine stores. The Business District was a great place to look for those kinds of special stores. Both groups would have to take the train to get off of the Port Island to get to the districts they would search.
Ren mumbled Observe during the few hours of searching whenever he could to slowly grind his already high level Skill. Lucian could also take this chance to grind that Skill as well, but to what lengths he would use the Observe Skill were up to him as it could be used on anything from people to objects or even animals (ill let you determine this). Other than the mumbling of the 'Observe' command every now and again Ren really didn't talk much, if at all. If Lucian was looking for small talk or conversation then Ren was certainly the wrong place to look as he was pretty much only paying attention to their surroundings the entire time.
And it seemed that extra bit of attention was indeed necessary as Ren suddenly tapped Lucian quickly grabbed Lucian by the arm and pulled him back a little, as Ren was walking next to, but also behind him a little diagonally, quickly and subtly gesturing his head towards a shop. It was named 'Tatsumi's Antique's', but it wasn't the shop Ren was pointing to. It was a person in a white hoodie, thus obscuring his appearance so that the two of them only got a side view, going into the shop. Ren was quick enough to be able to mumble a quick Observe, the skill luckily still keeping the window up if a person went out of sight as the person entered the store.
Lucian wouldn't have had time to use Observe on the person before they went inside, but thanks to Ren pointing it out quickly he would have been able to read what the tag above their head read. It read 'Tatsumi Saito Lv 15' with the word Artificer above that, indicating his class. Ren sat down on a bench right next to them, fortunately, and wrote down everything in a notebook that he subtly pulled from his Inventory, copying as quick as he could without bothering to read it. After that he closed the window that the Observe Skill showed him.
"My Observe Skill made him out to be a somewhat nice guy, but whether or not he always acts like that I do not know... do you think we should wait before approaching?" Ren normally wouldn't ask for other people's opinions... but this could be a potential life or death situation, so he figured asking for Lucian's own opinion on this matter would be the best, not that Ren didn't have his own opinions on what to do, but getting the opinions of another person could help.
Sasha's group would go by train to the Entertainment District. Depending upon how much they used Observe they might gain some levels in it, but also be more distracted by trying to grind the skill, but it was still a good idea anyway. Still with three sets of eyes, one of those sets actually possessing the Observe Skill, it would be easier to search the crowded Entertainment District for any tag that had a strange class and an out of the ordinary Level.
Sasha and Silas seemed to be as vigilant and alert as one another while Mike didn't seem to be as much, which was why he probably barely missed a woman walking by. Above her head was the tag 'Sumi Ban LV 23. Heir to the Raijinken'. Unfortunately Mike would have missed her, so there wouldn't have been any time to use his Observe Skill on her, but Sasha and Silas saw her and would either be able to take note of this person with a very high level or even pursuit her if they wanted to as she appeared to be heading down a different street now. Of course they also had ID create, which was an option, but trapping someone of unknown intentions within an enclosed world was probably not the greatest of ideas, but would certainly be a sure-kill method of getting her attention before she got away (although with the tag above her head she would probably be easy to track in a normal chase).

I will do Observation Rolls for each group member to see if you all find anything (and Spartan's chara can bump into whichever group he chooses, probably gonna be the three person group since they will be in the Entertainment District.
So then its Joshua and Amaya's turns then.
