"Professions? What the hell...?" He said.
Kosuke was back in Deep Ground. He was pretty tired but there was still a great deal of time until the day was over so he'd logged back. Apparently there had been a major patch and now they had Professions, and he also he found out he was level 4. He still wasn't sure what had happened to him these past few days but for now he was chalking it up to some kind of bizarre amnesia. It certainly looked like it would've been him who had been doing stuff these past few days. He'd taken Titan's Grip which he'd been planning to do for a while now, and 'Bounty Hunter' was right up his alley as well.
"Wonder what the forums are like these days." He said, flicking his stats screen to the side.
It seems there were a couple of rant threads running around about the new update. He used to play a bunch of other MMOs when he was younger so it wasn't that surprising. There was always a few after a major update and most of the time there was a "Taking a break/leaving because of x update" thread front and center on the forums, but that wasn't exactly a choice you could make in Deep Ground so at least he was spared that kind of cringe.
However, there was one front page thread not about the update that did catch his eye however...
BLACK GUILD UNDER ATTACK FROM WITHIN
By: Candid Eye
I don't know what's going on but there seems to be infighting amongst the people in the Black Guild. It seems like the general outlaws are trying to stage a coup or something, heck if I know. Here are some pictures:
There were four pictures each seemingly from the same building but facing a different direction, and the last one had him in it...
"Dude..." Kosuke said, turning around.
"What the hell?"On the rise behind him,
Candid Eye stood.
"What? I need it." He said, putting his camera down for a second. "If I make a good enough offering, maybe the newspaper club will finally let me in..."
Candid Eye had applied for the Newspaper club at some point but he'd been rejected on the basis of being a creepy-ass motherfucker in real life. He also had a penchant for... taking pictures of things that shouldn't be taken pictures of, which was a reputation the Newspaper Club didn't want. His personal motto was "No photo too risqué" after all, and sometimes he forgot he didn't have an x-ray camera in real life.
As for why Kosuke knew him, well the dude asked him whether he could take pictures of the sweepers he was working with at the time and then apparently he stopped going to anyone else because Kosuke had been cool with it. He was probably here for more than just the pictures. The Newspaper club was always understaffed and just recently everyone knew how much they'd missed with Corpse Collector and whatnot. If Candid Eye got an inside story here, then he'd have some good ammo for the Newspaper Club.
"Don't think I could use yours though," He said, "It makes it look like you're jumping in but you haven't done shit, have you?"
That was true. When he'd logged in, the conflict had already started so he had been waiting for it to die down somewhat before asking.
"Getting some good shots of Eclipse Princess though... And that... Abyss Walker?" He said, stepping in closer for a better angle. "Why don't you jump in and make it a three-way?"
Kosuke and Candid Eye were directly above the two he had mentioned, and there was also someone else off to the side who didn't seem to be doing any fighting so he ignored her presence for now. He wasn't familiar with any of them, but at the very least he was a sweeper, and it's not like he was doing anything else right now. He wanted to do some sweeping here and he'd really love some of that exp.
"Fine, whatever, I'm jumping in." He said, placing his foot on the edge of the building.
He heard rapid camera shots behind him as he jumped off. He hopped onto his lance mid-air and boosted straight into a level 2 outlaw trying to attack Eclipse Princess, killing him instantly.
"You two mind telling me what's going on around here?" He asked.
