Kosuke's probably not gonna wake up for a bit more so it'll have to be either Santa or Birb

So, uh, should Masae be worried about Kosuke asphyxiating or something?

@Flamelord

oh nah he's just knocked out. Probably from exhaustion or something like that.

Little did Masae know, there was something far worse than damage lurking in those darkened corners. As she turned, out of the corner of her eye she would glimpse it. A figure hunched over in the shadows, stabbing at something there with some kind of thin implement. If Masae came closer, she would notice the figure had pale skin and blue hair hidden by his hood. What exactly he was doing also became apparent.

The implement was a fork, and in the figure's other hand was a sizable plate of spaghetti.

Almost every hole on the speaker was plugged with a sizable helping of noodles and meatballs. And it wasn't just a normal eating bowl either, it was a small serving bowl and there was still a lot left. But now the figure had noticed Masae. It tilted its head, as if studying Masae. Eyes probing for who knows what. A creepy smile spread over its face, and then it collapsed forward, spaghetti and fork falling to the floor.

Oh wait actually, I've got a pretty good idea now. Gonna be a weird one though. I'll probably finish it sometime tonight.

Unless someone wants me to do something I might end up missing this next round of posts .-.

Got a bunch of stuff to do

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

Kosuke shuddered awake in a cold sweat. The nightmares... they'd been coming more and more frequently in recent days. It was a nightmare of one of his greatest fears, besides spaghetti; although he couldn't really say much about that situation. It was a dream of becoming a faceless salaryman and then getting drunk one night and walking into oncoming traffic and dying by getting hit by a truck full of angry seals and then somehow his blood was bolognese. He wasn't sure what part of it he feared the most.

Obviously, it was his mind projecting the worst since DGO was down for maintenance. The last time this had happened it was during his blank episode so he had no idea if he'd even slept that time. Anyway, the dream wasn't a DGO exclusive. It began with his sister, telling him what his future was going to be like if he never tried in school. That night was the first time he'd had the nightmare and it had only developed and grown stronger since then.

He got out of his bed, sunlight streaming in through the windows. So apparently he'd been sleeping for 12 hours, and his back felt it. He needed to go somewhere, preferably one with digital stimulation with optional physical activity.

"Guh, arcade it is..."

A few minutes later and he was sulking in a corner of the arcade. Well, he'd needed to go out but he never liked going out. The arcade was still okay by normal standards, but Kosuke needed to wake up some more before his mind fully registered that. He leaned against the cool metal of an arcade machine, but any observers around would say that it looked like he was trying unsuccessfully to fuse with it.

Maybe that wasn't too far from the truth. An inkling in his soul told him he might have a long day.

I thought I was going to post a little bit ago but now I ain't sure whether I have enough time to or not

Oh right, forgot about Rocket Lancer's new ability so here it is even though I did my post like a week ago already

Blast Burner - Passively, Kosuke gains a turbo-charge upgrade on his rocket booster to move at up to 5 times his original speed. The Turbo Charge can only be used for three rounds consecutively before overheating, and having to cool down for an equal amount of rounds before using it again. He can use his normal rocket booster while the Turbo mode is cooling down, but it will cool down at half the rate.

As an Active, Kosuke revs his turbo-charge and rocket booster to the max, and unleashes a massive blast of fire. It has a 10 foot range, and ignites everything within a cone. It deals 100% fire damage which bypasses purely physical damage reduction.
Cooldown - Using Blast Burner's active component will completely overheat Kosuke's Lance, and he cannot use his regular rocket booster or any abilities for 1 and 1/2 rounds. Blast Burner itself has a cooldown of 3 rounds.

Is it okay?

The lance pierced the windshield with a shatter. The Pilot had not seen Rocket Lancer's prep work, so it took a little time to process what he'd done. But by that time, he was already going gray. The damage flashed red to indicate Rocket Lancer had gotten a critical. 100% increased critical damage, and 100% increased base damage; an obscene amount of damage, if he crit. The helicopter continued to spiral, but downwards now, cockpit first.

He threw his Lance aside, and struggled towards the door instead, scooping up the Pilot's EXP crystals on his way. The Lance could probably fit through the door, but in the rapidly turning cockpit there was a chance it would get stuck. He knew that the EXP dropped was roughly enough to level him to level 5 now, but level ups could come later. He wasn't about to try to level up in the middle of escaping a dropping helicopter. He wrenched the door open and started equipping a lance in his other hand.

He timed his jump as the rotors swung away from him, and entered freefall. The ground was quite close, but there was enough time for his Lance to finish materializing before he hit the ground. He flew above the attack helicopter as it crashed into a building and exploded. In the distance, a camera snapped.

Machidai peered through his camera, and then grunted at a job well done.

Today would show no loss for the Black guild.
