The World of Wasted Dreams

cool, got it

I'll try and have a character up soon-ish. But I do have to sleep soon...

The World of Wasted Dreams

Here from the interest check. How is it going to work if I join in right now?

The World of Wasted Dreams (High School Japanese Style Horror RP) [RECRUITING NEW PLAYERS]

Ooh, this sounds interesting. Can I come in?

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

"Hey Boss, is that you?" A voice shouted down.

Kosuke dropped in from above, with Candid Eye mysteriously missing. He worked directly under Arms Slave so he knew what he looked like. He heard that some sweeper commanders who organized the hit lists never showed themselves to other people, sometimes because they wanted to keep their identities a secret (which doesn't really work because you can see the sender but at least they don't see what you look like unless they happen to bump into you and then they realize that the reason you don't want people to see you is because your avatar looks like a hobo), or sometimes because they just wanted to do it for kicks. Either way, Arms Slave wasn't someone like that.

He was the type to jump right into things himself, which was partially why Arms Slave was only at the level he was after being an incredibly active sweeper for years now. He delivered a lot of hits himself and sometimes they didn't all go his way. You couldn't really tell what somebody had until they used it so there was always the chance your target could just turn on you and you'd die.

Anyway, this wasn't the time for that now. On his round trip with Candid Eye, he'd taken another couple of people out and turned all of the EXP into proper molotovs so he was better equipped for tanks than before. The way Arms Slave was eyeing the field, Kosuke figured he would be needing them pretty soon.

"I think I could go for some roasted tank right now," He said, pulling his molotovs out. "Just give the word, boss, and I'm in!"

"It's over!" Arkadian said wearily, falling forward.

It'd been pretty tiring all things considered. He'd nearly died about 6 times before it was over, and Hellflame had actually died but he'd been revived. Arkadian didn't really now how respawning worked, actually. Supposedly you revived at a nearby Sanctuary if you had EXP, but was it instant or could you choose to stay if you thought you could be revived? Well, Arkadian didn't really want to find out the hard way. Maybe he'd ask later, there were other things to ask before that.

He pulled himslef up into a sitting position and he leaned back on his hands to catch his breath.

"Ughhh..." He sighed.

How did cardio even work in Deep Ground? Did his fitness in real life affect it? In that case he should've been pretty fine. He was fairly fit and he'd barely done anything... Or maybe he'd just done more than he thought he did, and he just didn't have a good grasp on how much it'd taken out of him.

Christopher jumped out of his lap and went over to the rogue. He seemed interested in her, and he also seemed to be ignoring Hellflame for now. Arkadian reached out as if to grab him back but he didn't feel like he was getting up anytime soon.

"If you don't mind..." Arkadian said, "Would you tell us what was going on there?"

What would happen to the EXP crystals dropped by the outlaws in the star dimension? Do they just stay there or...?

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

"Just so you know, I'm not doing that again." He said, planting his lance in the ground.

Two on top and two in the tank. The improvised molotovs got them off the tank but they didn't do much damage. Even though it was proper alcohol, it looked like improvised molotovs still had a major damage penalty. The tank still burned for a while though. The two inside came out before the majority of it caught fire, but they still came out slightly singed. They were still ready to fight though.

"You don't have to worry about that, I got plenty of good shots." Candid Eye said, appearing from behind the burnt out shell of the tank. "You saw the announcement, right? Where're you going?"

"I'm not taxi-ing you again." Kosuke said, pulling his lance out of the ground.

"You're going for a round trip anyway, aren't you?" Candid Eye replied.

"It's the principle! I can't be a taxi if I don't get payed, can I?"

"I can do $5 per trip you've already given me if you want."

"…wait, isn't that like $250 all up? Isn't that a lot?"

"It's not that much."

Kosuke stared at him.

"Hey, I've got a lot alright? You remember my motto? Turns out a lot of people agree."

"…Yeah, ok, fine. Just get on already." Kosuke finished.

No point in arguing anymore, it seemed. In the two years he'd known him for, he'd always had a counter for everything. Every time he'd gotten caught, he had something ready, and the teachers didn't know what to do about him. But, even with his bad rep, he had some good qualities. If he promised something, there was no way he wouldn't deliver, but not because he was die-hard honourable or something like that. A combination of his memory, legit organization skills, and a realistic outlook meant he never made a promise he couldn't keep.

"Alright, we're going to the gates." Kosuke said, "Make sure you don't get my lance in those shots, yeah?"

Here's some important stuff that's not on the first ooc page yet

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

@Scarifar I think he means whether you've used an outlaw declaration or not. Since I don't think the rogue has, if she uses a move it can't actually hurt you unless you've used one

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

"That didn't tell me jack shit!" He shouted down the path Eclipse Princess had made. Then he turned around and he saw the tank. "What the fuck?!"

The hell was this situation? Duelist vs tank. In terms of raw power, of course he didn't stand a chance. There was no way he'd be able to pierce through it with his lance, and as long as they held the hatch closed he didn't have a way of going in. Even if Eclipse Princess hadn't done a runner on him he didn't think it would be easy to fight a tank. Even after all that she said about 'fun'… The fun came right after she asked for it and she wasn't even there.

There were even gunners on top of the tank so he wouldn't be able to fly directly at it without getting swiss cheesed. It looked like he might not have much choice in the matter though, as from the other side of the alley there were three more goons who wanted to make some cheese.

"Oh fine, whatever!" He said, holding his lance straight up.

He boosted into the air and the volley of bullets missed him, instead they just ricocheted off the tank. He raced through his memories trying to find something to help him in this situation

Come on, come on… wasn't there something I read a while ago about tanks? Something about it blowing up…? He thought frantically.

Then he spied the grenadier which had attacked them before. He was knocked down by the force of his own grenade. Eclipse Princess sure laid people out without mercy. He didn't want to be on her bad side until he had a few more levels under his belt.

Then suddenly, a certain segment from the Deep Ground update thread sprang to his mind. Exp crystals enemies dropped could be traded in for raw materials to craft items. Anyone could do simple crafting for things like potions and whatnot, but his specialization was bounty hunter and right now all he had was rope for a net. What the hell could he do…

"Wait a minute," He shouted, his head snapping in the direction of the grenadier. "That's it!"

He abruptly changed directions and made a beeline for the downed grenadier. The enemy outlaw groggily got to his feet but the only thing he saw was the point of Kosuke's lance. Kosuke swiped what remained from his body, but it wasn't exp crystals that came out of the grey light, instead, Kosuke held two small glass bottles filled with some kind of liquid in his hands. This next part was going to be tricky.

A fresh volley of gunfire erupted from the gunners on top of the tank. He went hands-free as he opened up his inventory and swerved to dodge, then he stashed the bottles inside. He took out his net rope and pressed the 'craft' button. The novice bounty hunter crafting knife appeared in his right hand, and the tip of his rope emerged from the inventory screen. He cut three lengths of rope; two equally short, and one fairly long, but not too long. He stashed the long piece in his inventory again, and took out the two bottles. He stuck one piece of rope inside each bottle's neck and <<Improvised Molotov x2>> was complete.

"Now we're in business!" But then he had to abruptly change direction as the tank fired a shell in his direction.

Taking the long piece of rope from his inventory, he tied one end to the first bottle and the other to his lance. It was time to attack. He pulled his lance upwards, all the way into a nosedive aimed straight at the tank. He used his other hand, still holding a molotov, to slide a piece of equipment to his free hand. He let go of his first lance and jumped, setting it to swerve upwards as his other lance formed in his left hand. His first lance rocketed forward, molotov lit. The payload struck dead on and fire sprayed all over the top of the tank, as Kosuke activated the rocket booster on his second lance and reapproached the tank.

Titan's Grip was serving him well, lances were two-handed meaning he could dual-wield them with Titan's Grip. But that didn't mean that he had to have both lances in his hand at the same time, and along the same vein it didn't mean he couldn't two hand the other one even if he had two equipped.

The gunners jumped off in panic, and finally Kosuke could deal with the tank.

"Eat this!" He shouted.

The threw his last improvised molotov at the tank gunner's sight opening. He remembered now one of the greatest weaknesses of tanks was their enclosed environment. Starting a fire inside a tank meant death for everyone on board. It wasn't easy to put them out, and molotovs had been commonly used in real wars to deal with a tank instantly.

However, it was not impossible to fight a fire from within a tank, and if any of the players inside had a good enough water ability, his molotov would fail and the gunners would be on him right afterwards. Whether or not his tactic would work was up to fate to decide.

"Woah… It's so big…" Arkadian said.

He couldn't help but admire it. As a mage, this was the kind of thing he was supposed to be capable of, he felt like he wasn't really supposed to be throwing his cat at people. It was unexpected, sure, and it took people by surprise sometimes, but the difference between a surprising ability and an actually powerful ability was something he felt in his soul.

A green light shown from Christopher and the stun status was removed. He looked around to see who could've cast it, but Hellflame was most definitely not a healer and none of their enemies would've healed him. It could only have been the rogue.

"Thanks!" He shouted. He didn't know whether she could hear him, but it didn't matter too much to him. "Let's go up, Christopher!"The other outlaws fell away before him as Christopher began to fly upwards. Their enemies didn't have a flying ability, so as long as he and Hellflame went upwards, they would win this fight, but Arkadian was sure he didn't need to tell him that. He hadn't been around Hellflame for very long but he could tell at least that he had much more experience in Deep Ground Online than Arkadian did.
