Arrival/Class Choosing

[historycodebook]

[show up at the Danger Room and pick a class]

[jackbotsattack]

[Class in the Danger Room? This is new. Jack doesn't look too horribly impressed, though, as he looks over the menu of class choices.]

These are all dumb.

[He chooses Wavemaster, because really what else would a guy like him do for a game like this?]

[tacticalnap]

Nice dress.

[lololol, wavemaster robes.

Caesar's already there, leaning casually against whatever pillar or wall there is in the foyer of the dungeon Reki's picked for them.

He's picked the Twin Blade class.]

[historycodebook]

[Standing still away, Reki's a bit surprised that Jack chose Wavemaster. He thought for sure that he would avoid that class just because Reki is one. But, maybe earlier had some kind of impression on Jack.]

[He only half entertains that idea and notes that Caesar is a Twin Blade. Now, what did those FAQ's say...?]

[jackbotsattack]

[Jack honestly couldn't care less what Reki was or wasn't; Wavemaster was the only class that didn't involve getting in the monster's face to beat it. That his mentor was the same thing was only an unhappy coincidence.]

[However, he had not known that choosing that class would put him in robes and a stupid floppy hat.]

Shut up! It's not a dress! It's a robe. Two totally different things.

[tacticalnap]

[He considers the robe argument for a moment, then shrugs.]

Not too sure about that. That looks like the starter costume for the girl version of the Wavemaster.

[Aaanyway, he leans away from the wall and strolls towards the dungeon's start, though he stops just short of actually going in. They need a party first.]

Did you at least pick a Wavemaster with heals?

[jackbotsattack]

There's a girl version?

[Looks back at the menu in confusion. Wait, why does it not know he's a boy? ...Nope, that question is probably better left unasked.]

[He messes with the controls a second and is put in a boy's Wavemaster costume. It still looks like a dress, though.]

Heels? [No, wait that doesn't make sense.] OH, like cure spells. Uh... maybe?

[He has no idea how these games work.]

[historycodebook]

[Maybe it was a test of reading directions?]

[He's going to let the two bicker and wanders off to do some last minute preparations]

[tacticalnap]

You really have no idea... [He gestures towards the controls again.] It should list the class abilities, but if you want to find out without reading, just wave your hands around and say something healy-sounding.

[Yes, Jack. Do that. It's not as if Caesar could give him the actual spell name to use to actually cast a spell for the scenario or anythin-- wait. Yes he could, but this chance does not often come about.]

[jackbotsattack]

Something healy-sounding?

[Jack frowns, but he guesses it's worth a shot; better than reading all this crap he doesn't care about.]

Uhh... [waves his arms] Cure? [Nothing.] Heal? [Nothing.] Alakazam! [Nope.]

[Being magic is hard.]

/so, so late ._.

[tacticalnap]

No, no. Maybe not that.

[Caesar puts on a show of giving this thought, then adds:]

Try a phrase. Something poetic. Magic loves working with stuff like that.

s'cool ^^

[jackbotsattack]

Poetic? That's dumb.

[how do poetry]

Getting hurt by monsters can really suck
So heal us 'cause we didn't have time... to... duck

[yup that's the best he can do]

[tacticalnap]

[Why isn't this being recorded? Why?]

Still nothing? That's odd. Maybe it was programmed for haikus?

[By now, a grin is making its way across his face. He can't keep entirely deadpan anymore.]

[jackbotsattack]

[Because Jack still has SOME luck. Unless it IS being recorded, which wouldn't be that surprising.]

Haikus!? That's even dumber than poems!

Hmm...

That monster hit my arm
It did a lot of harm
So don't delay
Cure us today
With a healing charm

[...wait how do haikus go again?]

[tacticalnap]

Huh. Still no spell.

[SHRUG.]

I guess you'll need to read the instructions after all, but hey, good job on the poetry there.

[jackbotsattack]

Ugh. Yeah, I guess.

[Glances at the rule book and...]

HEY! You were totally tricking me!!!

[Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]
