{OP~F1} Atma Has A Strange Goal

[Atma 0]

Atma wandered down a particularly dark alley somewhere on the outskirts of the Starting City, and was hoping he would run into players who be willing to talk with him. He had been formulating a plan over the past few days, and now wanted to start finding people who would share his personality. Though he knew it was unlikely, he figured that searching the oddest places first would help him find some valid candidates. The only issue was they had to act the way he does, naturally.

 

Atma's goal was to form a sort of self-worshipping group, and just see what it would do if nurtured. Atma fully intended to get it started and then just leave, and observe how the group would do on it's own.

 

To other players, this may seem absolutely absurd, but Atma saw it as a social experiment. And he was curious as to people like him would think of him.

[TristankerX 0]

I am lost in the Starting City. It's kinda dumb but hey! I am just a newbie. Also, I don't play video games much, I was just invited to play this game by my friend but I can't seem to see him everywhere and now, I am stuck in this game where I will die if I died here. I should be careful.

 

I continued to explore the city then I found myself wandering in a dark alley where there might be player killers. I am calm but it's normal to me because this is my common emotion. Also, there is nothing to worry about because on what I read on the instructions, cities are a safezone so there is no player killing that is gonna happen here no matter what.

 

I stopped for a moment as I saw a black-haired guy in the alley. He is just there, maybe waiting for somebody? Ok, it wouldn't hurt to ask someone, so I approached him.

 

"Hello" I greeted him with a calm voice. "I am TristankerX but my real name is Tristan Suzuki" I introduced myself of course, it would be rude to ask a stranger without knowing your name. I scratched my head for a second because I forgot what I was about to ask. "Umm... hello, I am lost and I can't find the exit everywhere. Do you know where it is?"

[Atma 0]

Atma turned to face the newcomer, surprised that someone had actually wandered into a dark alley, and said in response, "You have no right to speak first. It is my job as a superior to greet my subordinates." This entire game was full of over-friendly fools who thought they actually mattered, and that irritated Atma to no end. He shrugged off his anger and said in a flat voice, "Do you believe that you are better than all others around you?"

[TristankerX 0]

The man got agitated and I think he rules the dark alley. I didn't mean to be rude but that's just mean but I must not say something mean, I might hurt his feelings because I don't know what he has been through. " Sorry" is all I can say in a calm voice like he was not being bullied and very calm like he is not in trouble. The man then asked him " Do you believe that you are better than all others around you?". 

 

I was in silence for a while, thinking for the answer. I looked at the angry man emotionless then answered the question in a cold voice. " I do not believe that I am better than all the people around me even though I was, I would never be like you who just agitated all of a sudden in front of a stranger who asked you for direction, nicely"

[Air 0]

Air was bored. A feeling that annoyed her greatly. She wasn't exactly sure what had lead her to an alley, let alone why she would be in an alley in the first place, but fun was something that could be found anywhere. Right? Voices echoed off of the walls and curiosity took over leading Air closer and closer. She stopped a few feet away so that she was barely noticeable by the players and listened. Are they fighting? She wondered. One looked a little angry and the other kept a straight face so she couldn't really tell. Being a low leveled player like herself she didn't exactly want to intervene at the moment. Air would only jump in if it was an argument and attempt to make everything better. Air leaned against a wall and decided to listen a little bit longer.

[Atma 0]

Atma did not like this player at all, for two reasons. One, the player stumbles up in here and asks directions without thinking of using  a map. And two, he acted all humble and everything. Atma did not like this player at all. To calm himself, he drew his sword and began twirling it in his hand. He looked the player up and down several times and said, almost in a whisper, "Why are you here? A dark alley is a horrible place to go look for help, and there are plenty of other people to help you get where you need to go."

 

Atma bit his lip before smiling, and said, "Wait, are you really so lost that you need MY help? You look like a higher level player and yet - oh my god - you stumble around, lost like some puppy that a family disowned. It's kind of adorable."

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke was investigating the starting city looking for lower level players in need of aid. He had adopted Arekkusu's technique of wandering along the rooftops just watching the other players to determine who needed what and in what way he could be of assistance. He saw a particular shady looking guy with starting equipment wander off down an ally and decided to follow him to see where he was heading. He was greatly amused when he saw a few other players interacting with this fellow and it peaked his interest. He dropped down off the roof top into the only exit of the alley blocking their path. ''Sup guys whats going on here? a couple of new players hanging around in the back of an alley is pretty darn suspicious if you ask me.'' he said to the group his black and gold trimmed trench coat billowing in the wind from the wind tunnel that the alley created. He flicked his bangs out of his eyes and eyed them all curiously.

[Atma 0]

And now another player showed up. Atma pivoted in a split second, and said, once again on the subject of people who have a major ego, "Hello, I have a question. Do you see yourself as better  than those around you? Please say yes." Perhaps, some of these individuals could be valid candidates, Atma was unsure. Oh well, he was still going to try to complete his task. Atma giggled a little bit at himself, being randomly surrounded by players of unknown level in a dark alley, and said aloud, "You people are a great way to make others nervous. If I didn't know better, I'd say you were all PKers."

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke shook his head this boys comment about them all being player killers and frowned. ''Boy look around you the only one here with anything better than starting equipment is me, these guys are two green and clumsy to be a player killer and you yourself are asking stupid questions. Sure I think im better than you my numbers are higher. Im not better then everyone else though and im not better than anyone as a person neither, saying stuff like that will get you killed, if I were you id watch your mouth kid.'' He said as he lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall watched the group of newbies.

[Atma 0]

Atma scoffed at this player who had made it their goal to show up, insult Atma, and then act like some sort of 'cool kid' from an old movie. Atma still had his sword in hand, but was no longer twirling it. Atma started swinging the sword again, but this time, it was swinging far faster than it had, a sign of agitation. He spun around and made his way to the end of the alley, where it opened up into a bustling city street. "You ever wondered why people act so strange in this game? Like life is normal or something? It's fear," he said, "and people like you who try to 'remind them to be cautious' are part of the cause of that fear." Atma ran his fingers through his hair, which actually had a metallic purple look in the sunlight.

 

He turned and looked at the over-confident fool and said, smiling, "If I were you, I would stop smoking, it's bad for your health."

[Air 0]

Air pinched the bridge of her nose. She couldn't listen to this player speak anymore, it gave her a headache, but she had no way to approach him in a sensible manor. She was an intelligent girl herself so she stayed back thinking of ways to stop this nonsense. But there was nothing; nothing in Air's head for once in her life. She groaned and rolled her eyes, playing with the bow in her hair and stayed in her spot waiting to see where this would go. If you think about it, what he's saying it partly true. Air thought with a change of mind and nodded her head in agreement with Atma as he spoke, now seeing from his point of view, thinking like he was. Maybe it's better I stay back a little longer. He doesn't seem so bad...

[Kiru 0]

I folded my arms and leaned back on the bench I was sitting on. The town was peaceful today, no one here to annoy me other than the occasional raid group. Being alone to think was crucial right now, I had a lot of things on my mind as of yesterday's events. Man, it sure was boring killing off all those dumb boars. I wonder if today I- Suddenly, on the right side of me I heard three players conversing rather loudly. One was smoking, acting cool, and yet somehow strangely familiar. The next one had deep purple hair, he was fawning over the other player there. If narrowed my eyes and noticed a girl apparently listening to their conversation; she wasn't that good at hiding herself from all angles though because I could see her. I rolled my eyes and stood up, walking over to the group in the dark alley way. They were being annoying, they were ruining my peace and quiet. I had to do something about it. 

 

As I passed by the girl I ruffled her hair and the corner of the my mouth twisted into a smirk. I approached the three players with a cold stare and a slightly menacing smile. Once I was in the center of them I all I addressed them. I would really appreciate it if you would take your disagreement elsewhere. It's rather irritating to hear you bicker about health and such. 

[Atma 0]

That's idiot number three, Atma thought, and turned around to speak to the player who had just walked up, apparently bothered by the conversation that was being had. "Hey," he said with an air of extreme dislike, "you didn't have to listen, so shut your mouth, turn around, and leave us be. Besides, why did you even go to such lengths if you were having such a nice day?" He swung his sword once more, sheathed it, and sat down. As he sat, he finger-combed his hair and said to the newcomer, "You have pretty cool hair, you know."

[Kiru 0]

My slight smirk turned into a flow blown smile, though it wasn't one of happiness. I was smiling at how hilarious he was being, his attempts to insult me obviously hadn't worked. The only thing they did was give me more speech to work off to create a somewhat clever comeback. Excuse me but you were been loud, I'm not leaving, and no, you need to leave me be. Besides, who said I was having a nice day in the first place? I countered, not really paying any attention to the other players now. It seemed to him who had been being loud now. It wouldn't matter what the other two said to me until I got done with the one in front of me. When the young man sheathed his sword I took that as my opportunity to grab a dagger from my pouch. I began to twirl it on my finger like a pencil. Ya know, level thirty sevens do have a short temper, I have even shorter one on top of that. So if I were you I would knock it off. And what was that supposed to be? That wasn't a compliment, that was stating the obvious. I perked my eyebrow at him when he sat down. 

[Atma 0]

Well, this girl was proving very fun. Atma walked up to her and started jumping up and down, deciding to have a mood change. He looked at the dagger and even crouched down, his face mere inches from the blade as it swung. "Ooooohhh," he said, teeming with curiosity, "how are you doing that? I have never been able to do it with daggers and the like." He looked up at her and smiled, expecting an answer. He pouted for a second and said, "I would try it now, but I don't have a dagger. IRL I had this awesome knife set though."

[Kiru 0]

I gave him a confused look when he started to get excited. What the heck, just a second ago he was all angry now he's interested? I don't... When he crouched down to get a better look I stopped spinning the knife. Are you amused? I stopped it in the place I anticipated too, the blade about five centimeters from his face. I was very spoiled  as a child with access to anything and a bunch of free time. I don't remember how to tell anyone how to do it, not that I would teach you. I don't think you would be able to learn something like this. I said, keeping my voice calm as I put away the knife. I didn't plan on doing that anytime soon again. 

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

"That would explain a lot..." Arekkusu whispered to himself from above. He had been watching the group the whole time, above as usual. What was unusual was that he saw Sousuke do the same thing, it was awkward and made Arekkusus technique feel a lot less special. But it was nice to know he was teaching, even while he wasn't He swung his legs lazily over the edge of the roof and stared down with amusement in his eyes. He loved the sight, and the flaws in logic just tend to build up quickly.

 

He didn't want to cause any trouble yet... not that that would create a problem. The problems were already built up, and even before Kirus arrival there were problems already, which normally doesn't happen, but hey, things do happen. Sousuke was once so high and mighty until a annoyed Kiru came along, and to threaten with a dagger, but he knew Kiru too well and stayed where he was. He wasn't going to threaten her, despite her really annoying attitude towards just about life itself, her excessive pride in herself, and the fact that she knows she is powerful, she has sense, a lot more than Arekkusu could ever imagine. He knew that she wouldn't attack without legitimate reason, so Arekkusu glued himself where he was.

 

And... Atma his name was? He was just about as half as annoying as Kiru when Arekkusu met him, but then had a sudden mood change, and it showed once again... what happened? It was a little bit funny though, he was fighting Kiru and was equipped with the weapon he used against Kiru in a half loss duel. The coincidences build up, one after another.

 

As for the other player... he knew nothing about her... he doesn't know her name, personality, he was lucky to even see her player tag to confirm that she was a player, but it's not like that could be helped. She seemed knew, which is probably why she isn't known to Arekkusu. Arekkusu was a player of intel, he just about knows everything there is to know about the game using his strategy.

 

Arekkusu looked down towards the players with a smile and laughed a few times to himself when they did something or said something funny. Their fighting was useless to Arekkusu, and if they all end up in a fight for something as stupid as this, Arekkusu would most certainly jump in and shame them before trying to control.

[Sousuke 0]

Sousuke saw on old member of his guild approach and as per usual could tell Arekkusu was also watching him from above. Yes he had adopted his technique but it was extremely efficient and effective for observations, Arek had shown him that.

BD 10

Sousuke pushed off the wall gently and approached everyone silently. He swiftly disarmed the group. without them even noticing all accept kiru's he had no idea where she hid her weapons and knew not to mess with her and place their weapons in a pile on the ground for them to take back at their own discretion. "You. really shouldn't play with these you could get hurt." He said as he leaned against the wall smoking again. "As for you kid i don't need your lectures your nothing compared to me your careless and let your guard down." He said smirking

[Air 0]

Air was far too focused on the fight to notice her rapier missing. She scowled and went to the newly formed pile to pick her weapon back up and sheathe it. "You really should be careful with whom you choose to mess with." Air slid the beloved weapon back into its holster. "It doesn't matter what level anyone is, how foolish they seem, how big of a clutz they are, anybody can kill. And kill successfully might I add. Also, could you all please stop trying to be bigger than the other it really gives me a headache. It's obvious that girl," She pointed a finger towards Kiru. "is the highest level here. Thus, she is probably most powerful and dangerous. Problem solved." All her words were pointed at Sousuke the most, he was really acting like a ditz for sure. Air returned to her spot and played with the bow in her hair, not so used to speaking up or to anyone at all.

[Arekkusu Sepera 0]

Arekkusu shrugged, that was debatable on so many levels, but only with memories like his could that be possible. He remembered the duel like it was yesterday, barely, but still winning. He never really bragged about it, not because he was humble, but now just because he had no one that would really care. A duel is a duel, the end. He then remembered that he is equipped with his new items, his old blade in Atma hand.

He had to admit though, he never saw Sousuke act like a badass before. It was pretty cool to see... Until he was then scolded by the lower leveled female of the group, and rather harshly at that. Who is that girl? She may be lower in level, but pretty high in intellect. What she said was true though.... If Arekkusu and Kiru were actually not fighting in a half loss duel, but total loss, was there a chance for him to win?

It didn't matter, things were growing a little bit out of hand. So far, Arekkusu saw three groups in this fight. Two newer players who are currently allied. Sousuke in his own corner surprisingly, and Kiru in her own corner, not surprising. Arekkusu didn't plan to break up the fight yet, no one swung yet.
