(Forgot to add this, here it is).

When Mike used Observe, this is the window that appeared before him. He did not get a Level.

Sumi Ban

Name: Sumi Ban

Class: Heir to the Raijinken

Lv: 23

HP: 276/276

MP: 300

Sumi Ban is a martial artist who utilizes the Raijinken, a unique style of martial arts that seem to focus on utilizing speed to create powerful destructive force.

Silas Negotiation: 29 - 4 Negotiation = 25

Just discovered their powers? Only for defense and not offense? Sure that second thing was true, but it was true only under normal circumstances. Silas did much better explaining things than Mike did and it seemed that Sumi understood something now, her stance returning to an ordinary standing one as the text above her head returned back to being blue, which was a sign of her no longer being hostile. "If you only just discovered your power then you all must be Natural Ability Users with a more late bloomer ability..." She was back to her more shy, quiet demeanor now that she wasn't hostile or interrogating them, although it wasn't as shy or quiet as it was when Sasha first spoke to her. It was a little more neutral than that.

"And... if you all think that people use their abilities for just defense then you are wrong. You all have stepped into the Abyss without even knowing what kind of world you have entered". While her tone was not ominous, just the nature of the words were. "I recommend ignoring your power if you want to live... there are all kinds of people out there who have no qualms about killing to further their own goals". Suddenly she pulled out a notepad and wrote something on it, walking to Silas and handing him a piece of paper that had an address on it.

"If you really want to train your power more and enter this Abyss... come here... otherwise go back to your normal lives. If you ignore your power for a while it should go away on its own". After that she walked off without much else of a word, snapping her fingers and making the Pseudospace vanish. No one seemed to notice people suddenly appearing, which was probably the work of Gaia making sure that Pseudospace did not interfere in the lives of others. After the Pseudospace vanished though Sumi was gone, nowhere to be found.

And now I shall post again to see how Sumi takes the much better explanation.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Don't worry, your post still works.

If Mike had done worse on the Negotiation roll she would have attacked right there, but now she is just hostile, but not attacking yet.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Stuttering, suddenly proclaiming knowing various things about her, and claiming that they could see 'levels' and 'classes' above people's heads just sounded completely crazy and was not helping Mike sound any less suspicious. If anything he was even more suspicious now in Sumi's eyes.

Mike Negotiation: 41 - 11 Negotiation + 25 for sounding REALLY SUSPICIOUS = 55

---

Mike sounded reasonable enough, but the way he worded various things and suddenly spoke while sounding very nervous. Sumi didn't know anything about video-games. She never actually played them, not that the Gamers knew this, so to her this talk about Levels and Classes was all just a bunch of crazy gibberish. So naturally Sumi wasn't buying Mike's sudden explanation of why they approached her, not at least without some form of explanation as to how in the hell they knew who she was. Of course Mike suddenly mumbling something beneath his breath, as he would have had to speak to use the Observe Skill and mumbling would be the only way for Sumi not to catch on, was also not helping his case either.

"For someone who hasn't spied on me, you seem to know alot about me. Start explaining who you are before I pound it out of you". Now her fighting stance was full, the yellow glow around her fists growing a little more intense as her name above her head turned red. The text above the heads of the Imps were also red, this signifying that she was now hostile. Of course she was also human and intelligent and she was giving them one more chance to explain themselves before she decided to let her fists ask for the explanation, and fighting someone nearly six times one's level was suicide.

Mike sucks at negotiating and not being suspicious XD

Posted. The Plot must Go On.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

First 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.
