17th Random Encounter

[animalhusbandry]

[Somewhere amid the rubble, Red Mage has managed to find a mostly intact soapbox.  Don't even ask how.  And RM knows exactly what is to be done with soap boxes.  Anyone passing through what he has surmised to have been the center of town will see him standing on top of it ranting and raving like the madman he clearly is.]

Citizens of Mayfield!  We

[ Yes, you're confusing one Lord of Pandemonium right now, who just stopped to listen to your talking for a minute. ]

...What is XP? And P..C? And GM?

[animalhusbandry]

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten not everyone is familiar with that sort of parlance. XP is shorthand for 'experience points.' PC stands for 'player character.' And GM is 'game master.'

[Yeah, the explanation stops there, since he clearly thinks that now everything should be crystal-clear.]

[hyon_soudaishou]

[ Nurarihyon is still confused, even though not as much as in the beginning. ]

...Player character?

[ Game master he thought he could understand....there was games in his time and world after all. Was it something like a leader of one particular game? ]

Experiece 'points'? Don't you just fight? There's never been any points involved as far as I know.

[animalhusbandry]

You have a lot to learn about the way the world works.

[hyon_soudaishou]

Well, I've only known about Japan up until now... These 'HP'-things, they're normal here?

[animalhusbandry]

They're normal everywhere. It just takes a trained eye to properly observe them.

[hyon_soudaishou]

I guess you're from a different world then?

[ See, he has learned a few things since he got here. ]

[animalhusbandry]

Correct. Although that's hardly a stunning revelation at this point, given the obvious planar mechanics with which Mayfield seems to operate.

[hyon_soudaishou]

[ Confusing him again. Good job, Red Mage. ]

...Right.

[ Though confusing him with modern things is still way easy. He's only been here for about ten days and he didn't even know about door handles before he got here. It's a biiiig step. ]

[animalhusbandry]

Well, then, would you like to join with me?

[hyon_soudaishou]

If it's that 'showing them'-thing, do you have any weapons?

[animalhusbandry]

Not as such. Not yet, at least.

[hyon_soudaishou]

Should try to get some of those first? I can fight without weapons too, but with a katana I'm the best. [ But currently he's without any of his powers. It was so weird being human. ]
