Nero still couldn't get over how realistic this 'game' was.  She hadn't exactly played many video games in the past (you couldn't find that kind of thing in Fortuna!) but she couldn't imagine anything being more real and detailed then it already was.  The smells, the detail of each object and environment, the subtle feel of wind on your face, the ( Read more... )

The two had made the most unlikely pair, but Nero had been insistent back in the village. Ami had just climbed to a new tier level and had been in the process of raising her stats when she'd noticed the brazen fighter earlier that day. She was playing a cleric, with high points spent in the areas of healing and divination. This meant that to get to some of the more interesting treasures, she had to pair up with a fighter or run like hell, which didn't always work so well ( ... )

She laughed a little, feeling just a BIT guilty about insisting on the contest after realizing how big the gap in points was. She was competitive by nature though and once she had thought up the idea she had to go with it ( ... )

Ami had tried to tell her in the beginning, but she was so insistent. The score was settled now and the victor was clear. Even though she'd scored a few combos it just wasn't enough, which now left her in the fighter's debt as she recalled. She had no idea what to expect, but she hoped it wouldn't be anything too strange. Then again, from what she'd seen, it might just be something completely unexpected ( ... )

They were an odd pair to be sure. One was an aggressive fighter, and the other was a kindhearted and gentle paladin. However, both of them had impressive combat skills that complicated eachother nicely. So while the two were unlikely to agree on matters of philosophy, combat-wise they were a nigh-unstoppable force ( ... )

The girl's smirk faded into a frown. She couldn't believe he actually got more then her! Dammit... he probably just encountered more enemies over on the side of the dungeon he cleaned out. Nero knew she should have picked the left side ( ... )

"I'm sure you'll impress me in that dungeon," he said with some actual sincerity. Just because he was more dominating didn't mean he was any less genuine. "Tomorrow. Right now I plan to celebrate ( ... )

Nero probably would have been more impressed with Flynn's newly acquired technique if he hadn't brought out the treasure trove immediately after casting it. That kind of loot really required one's complete and undivided attention. Her first thought was... How the heck did he luck out with getting so many chests? She'd only encountered about three. Her second thought... damn that vibrator gave you a +3 resistance to Dark! And the collar was an accessory slot item that gave two points to defense somehow... and everything pretty much gave some sort of small buff... buffs already gave you a tingly sensation in this game... what would a buff feel like buzzing away inside you...?

"You've got to be kidding me," she huffed, crossing her arms, even as her pale cheeks flushed. It was clear her eyes had glimmered in curiosity, and that all the fighting had left her absolutely horny as hell... but she was of the personality to just completely and immediately disagree with suggestions such as these.

The other adventurer had barely said anything, and when he did his voice was distorted slightly. It was to be expected from the head-to-toe armor. Once the final chamber was reached, he took off the helmet, revealing a rather familiar looking face.

"23,341."

"Bullshit, you can't have that many-" she froze after she spun around to stare her (obviously lying because seriously, he couldn't have almost double her score) partner down. Her voice died in throat and she could only gape at the man before her. Her first thought was 'Dante'... but there was no way that geezer could ever wear and expression that serious... and he couldn't have gone so long in battle without hamming things up at least a little.

Vergil tossed the helm aside as it - along with the rest of the armor - disintegrated like shattering glass. He is left in his blue coat, claymore becoming an oddly familiar sword.

"You have talent, but you are clumsy, reckless, and unrefined... rather akin to Dante. It is no match for experience."

The sword was more then just oddly familiar. It was very familiar. Because it was the very sword Dante had entrusted her with. The sword that was usually safely secured within her Devil Bringer. Yamato. It took her a moment to realize... this was STILL in the game world... Yamato was still in it's proper place. You couldn't exactly steal something from the place it was kept. At least by no means she knew. But still... this game was taking a frighteningly real turn. The sword her party mate had didn't just look like hers... but somehow it just FELT like it as well. Plus he knew Dante. On top of looking just like him.

"Just who the hell are you?!" she bristled at the insult (being compared to Dante... who would be happy about that?), hand tightening around her own sword. She briefly wished she had Red Queen. She hadn't found a single sword in the game yet that came close to the heavily modified blade she was most used to.

The boy whined and worked to stop his panting breath. This was taking more out of him than it should, but then again he had only agreed to come along on this quest under the guide of it being 'training' (and because it couldn't be done alone even if he wanted to). Heck of a way to learn the ropes.

"I can't...what?" Eddy blinked his eyes and wiped the sweat from his brow with a gloved hand. "I don't think that's really fair. How was I supposed to banish any of the creatures when I had to keep my eye on your health the time?" It wasn't like he disliked his class; a cleric was just his sort of deal, but multi-tasking was not yet his strong suit.

He's just lucky that he had procured lots of potions before coming along on this ride, though that knapsack is looking awfully slim right about now.

Nero looked at him in disbelief, one snowy eyebrow raised and her hands on her hips, she had noooo idea why he was seriously complaining about this. True.. maybe she was a liiittle guilty that perhaps he did spend a little more time then she had initially thought making sure her health didn't slip into the red zone (her character was a bit of a glass canon at the moment, she was planning on pouring the stats from her next few level-ups into defense though). But still!

"Hey, there were plenty of zombies and skeletons around. The Cleric-Class gets a pretty good bonus against undead monsters, right? Maybe if you fought a few more of them I wouldn't have had such an issue keeping my health up," sh shrugged, self satisfied smirk still playing upon her lips, "I hope you're not being a sore loser."

He planted the end of his plain staff into the ground, gesturing as he spoke. "Far from it! But support has to count for something on this scoring system, doesn't it?" There is a pause as he checks, but no, this isn't that kind of dungeon crawling game.

Eddy sighs a bit. "I-I guess that mana used to bless us both was not wasted, but it still would have been nice to have it count in my favor..." A weak laugh. "I guess that still means you win."

She can't help but laugh as well after he checks. Though it's not mocking, more of a laugh with him. He reminds her quite a bit of Kyrie back home... and that thought did nothing to improve her post-bloodlust condition.

"Well, now you know next time you need to take a few zombies or something out," she teases, an almost mischievous little smile on her lips, "I guess I do win then. Which means you get to do whatever I ask for the rest of the day, right?"

It was almost ironic, the class that he'd chosen, but it wasn't by any means boring. Being stuck in this place he'd missed the rush of adrenaline being in the midst of battle afforded him, and though he had done far more harm in real life than an hour or two of cleric-playing could forgive, it was still a breath of fresh air he'd been craving for quite some time ( ... )

"Killing overwhelmingly huge hoards of demons was basically my job description back before the Hotel nabbed me," she admitted, breathing a sigh of relief as the healing spell took care of the scrapes and minor injuries she'd sustained. With how real everything in this 'game' felt, bringing a cleric along was really the best choice and adventurer could make. Beyond handy. Especially when you were of the charge headlong into battle and go all or nothing type.

"Seriously? Forty-two?" she snorted and peeked over his shoulder to steal a look at his menu. She just shook her head at the sight of the score, and then whacked him lightly on his, "Yeah, I think I definitely won this round. This is what you get for just taking it easy! You'll never level up at this rate."

"Oh? How interesting!" Odd that he could practically feel the hit; intriguing in its own right, and certainly worth some investigating later on. With nothing more than another sheepish smile and a twiddling of his thumbs, he surveyed the area they were in with brows raised.

"So I take it you're a demon hunter, then?" There was a nervous laugh, and another sheepish look. "Sca-ry! I'd be freaking out if I had to go up against hordes of demons all by myself.

"So... since you won... now what?"

"You could say that," she nodded, chin still on his shoulder. It was amazing really! She could even feel his body heat somehow, "It's not really all that scary either. Honestly... I find it really fun. Exciting even. Sometimes killing demons just gets me so..."

She trailed off a little and laughed, though the implication was there. She caught the hint of nerves to his voice though and decided to leave that little revelation at that and move on. She was the winner of their little contest after all.

"Well... I was thinking. You've noticed how real the game environment is, you can even feel..." her voice lowered a little, "You wanna... maybe try finding out just how real everything is?"
