The Mediamancer
Chapter Four: Witty Name
[*Lana Based P.O.V*]
"Friend?/Mew?"
Lana's eyes opened, meeting the similar Emerald of her new feline companion.
"Yes Mew?" Lana replied as she yawned and moved herself upright, which caused the Pokémon to move aside as the girl's body started to inhabit it's old space.
"Its morning! Its time to play!/Meeww! Meewww!" The Pokémon giggled out as they flew around the room.
The Mediamancer looked to her clock to see what time it was.
=7:50=
It wasn't the earliest she had woken up, that was for sure.
[Fully Rested! HP and Energy restored to full]
The girl rubbed her eyes to get out the rest of the tiredness out of them before grabbing her glasses and slotting them onto her face.
Now with her vision returned to her she was able to enjoy the sight of the sight of Mew flying around the room in happiness, moving at speeds so high that they were almost like a black blur.
"Settle down Mew… maybe we should eat before we play?" Lana said to the Pokémon which stopped and looked at her with its head tilted.
"Friend makes good point…/Mew mew mewww…" The Pokémon chirped out.
"Let me get dressed and then we'll get something to eat."
Lana pulled a white shirt, skirt and long socks from her wardrobe… but quickly put the back once she realised that on her recent adventure her clothes would not have ended up in a good state if Feather did not repair them and clean up the stains. Instead she opted for something of the same style as she had planned, but this time black.
Now fully dressed Lana exited her room with Mew and T1nk3r, who was floating very slowly from her recent reactivation leaving her in a 'sleepy' state, hot on her tail.
The girl entered the kitchen to find Ruby drinking deeply from a steaming coffee cup.
"Morning, Kiddo." She greeted kindly after she put the mug down, revealing a slightly tired looking smile.
"Morning." Lana replied.
Shortly after Mew floated in happily, causing Ruby to stare at the little Pokémon
"Lana, Is that a…"
"Yes, that is a Black furred Mew. They were the reward for completing the Pokémon Emerald Pokédex."
"Okay then," The woman shook her head in disbelief before drinking down the dregs of her cup and getting up from her chair.
"Sorry I couldn't make you any breakfast today. You'll just have to pour yourself some cereal or make some toast, I need to open up shop downstairs." the store owner said as she walked out of the kitchen and into the main hall.
"That's fine." Lana replied.
A few moments later the girl heard the lowering of the stairway into the bottom floor of the building and the footsteps of her aunt going down them.
Now alone with her other two small companions the girl got herself some breakfast, she decided on some Frosted Flakes, and ate it slowly while savouring the sugary breakfast treat.
After washing out the bowl and giving it a light clean… before refilling it with more frosted flakes and passing it to Mew who started munching it down greedily… she began the other morning ritual she acquired. Flipping Lucky Coins.
[Super-Rare Prize!
Black Market Tablet
Other
In the future you may find items that require something special to use, like a specific ammo, and you might not be able to get the time or ability to go to the providing place. With the Black Market Tablet this problem is gone… for a price.
Just mark a delivery zone and link something that can pay and the Black Market shall deliver!
Effects:
Buy hard to come by items and get it delivered to you!]
The 'tablet' was more like a slightly large black phone with a keypad and screen. Lana quickly found how to turn it on and saw that you needed to search for the specific item, otherwise it wouldn't show anything.
She tested that by searching for Cloud berries, a rare ingredient for her 'Divini-tea' recipe.
Surprisingly it was there… at a price of 10 Galleons for a single of the white bumpy berry (which she knew now thanks to the picture provided). Her Aunt had given her twenty Galleons as a 'pocket money' but she didn't want to waste them, especially after she saw the price for the other things.
Lana stored away the 'Tablet' and continued one with the flipping.
[Uncommon Prize
Infinite Pen
Other
This pen will never run out of ink! It will also change ink colours with the twist of it's cap!
Effects
Will never run out of ink]
The pen was similar to her infinite money purse, with a set of car ears on the top next to the clicker and the infinity cat eyes below them.
'this will come in handy…' Lana thought to herself as she stored it away and flipped the next coin into the air.
[Rare Prize!
P1X13 Token
Consumable
This token allows the help option to produce another P1X13! Sadly, they don't have the same knowledge as the one first created, so will only be helpful once taught.
Effects:
Use token to allow creation of a new P1X13]
'I'll save that for later… T1nk3r still needs to get used to their task before they have to teach it to another one of their kind.' Lana thought as she inspected the computer chip-like token.
[Uncommon Prize
Spec-Scope
Gear
The Spec-Scope, or the Spectacle Scope, are an attachment to any set of glasses which is invisible once attached. Once attached they will allow you to zoom in with one frame. To activate tap the glasses to scroll through scope settings.
Effects:
Attach to glasses to allow zoom functionality.]
The Mediamancer inspected the attachment, which took the form of long cone of glass. A note that was wrapped around it read =push into glasses to attach=. Interested, the girl removed her glasses and pressed the cone point first into the right lens. Surprisingly the glass vanished into it. After placing the glasses back onto her face she gave an experimental tap and found the table closer than it was originally. A few more taps later and the lens had returned to normal functionality.
'That might be helpful for long ranged attacks or scouting things out…' Lana thought as she pulled out the next Lucky Coin.
[Rare Prize!
Skill Book: Feather Throw
Consumable
This is a skill book that lets you gain the Active Skill Feather Throw.
Effects:
Learn and Unlock Active Skill Feather Throw.]
The book was a small one, with the words =Art of the Bird, Book One= and the picture of several feathers appearing as if they were being throw at a high speed, with the feathery part of the quill being the thing at the front of it if the wind lines meant something.
Lana flipped open the front page… and the book vanished, instead being replaced by an odd set of knowledge to throw razor sharp quills at targets.
[Skill Learnt: Feather Throw
Use your magic to produce a set of razor sharp quills, boosted by the Agility and Magical Maturity Stat!
Effects:
Create and throw razor quills
(Costs 4 Energy for each quill produced.)]
'So I just think of making the quills with the proper intent and… woah!' Lana cried out internally as she looked at the silver quill that was in her hand, its razor edge shining in the light.
After a few seconds the quill faded, apparently knowing that it lacked a real use at the moment as it remained not thrown. With her hand now empty, Lana returned to throwing something else, that being the coins.
However, the next item to appear caused Lana to squeak out as she struggled to keep it from making a loud noise as it almost hit the table. Luckily it didn't make any, which avoided possible questions from people downstairs.
Like her Aunt for instance.
[Super-Rare Prize!
Dimensional Quest Board
Decoration
This quest board accepts the request of unknown beings from different worlds… or perhaps your own? Once a request has been filed it shall be pinned to the board, where you may collect it and accept it as a quest. The rewards and required quest items are provided by the quest giver, so you may find yourself getting your hands on things you might not expect.
It also sticks to walls by itself, isn't that nice?
It is also a good idea not to question how the rewards and request arrive at the board… its just magic okay? Do you need an explanation? You want one? Its literally a magic delivery service, some worlds know about it and now you do too. That's all I got
Effects:
Gives quests!]
The board was just a plain cork board, perfect for pinning things on, but the edges were covered by a curvy wooden frame.
Lana carried the Quest Board into her room with a little effort and placed it on the wall to the left of her room's entrance, which had a clear spot beside the nearly full bookcase.
When she did so a few things happened to the board. The top part of the frame expanded and revealed a bell, that hung over the board. Along with that two small wooden boxes were attached to the bottom of the frame and were marked with the words =Turn-In= and =Reward Delivery/Quest Requirements= respectively. There was also a pile of small pieces of paper next to the turn in box, for some reason.
With the task finished the girl stared at the board from her bed for a few moments before pulling out the last two coins.
[Common Prize
Health Juice x3
Consumable]
'So they shorten the information for already given prizes?' the nine year old thought as she stored away the extra replenishing items and flipped the last coin.
[Uncommon Prize
Comfort Seeds x3
Consumable
Comfort Seeds are a magic seed that produce the Comfort Flower, a plant with many uses. When given to a person they will feel calmer around you could be an example. Another use is to burn the oils that the plant produces, which will fill the area with a calming and warming aura. They are a quick grow too, and will always yield a good return in their seed count.
Effects:
Plant to produce the Comfort Flower, a plant with many uses.]
Lana looked at the seed packets with a little interest, but quickly put them away with the rest of the items.
"Now that is over with… lets up my stats. Its been a while since I've done that and I have some points to spend."
Lana spent some time allocating points, placing two into strength and three into agility to bring them both into ten. The last three went into life, bringing her HP to 160 and her energy to double that.
The only other thing that quickly came to Lana's mind after that was the skill points, which she was even more interested by because of the supposed additions after Pokémon got scanned.

The Mediamancer looked at the Malleable Mutation Skill… but quickly decided against unlocking it. She would rather learn to control her current transforming ability to its best before she had a skill that could be extremely dangerous if she didn't know how to use it.
Instead, she just inspected the new skills.
[Beastial Comfort Cooking
Passive Skill
Anything you make will be very tasty to anything animalistic in nature. It also lets you make Pokéblocks, but the special effects will not really happen unless special berries are used.
Reward Given By Pokémon Emerald Completion
Effects:
Animal-like beings enjoy your meals a lot more
Recipe for Pokéblocks unlocked.]
'Aaaaand… yoink.' Lana said as she unlocked it. Mew couldn't exactly live off Frosted Flakes after all. Well maybe they could, but being able to make a type of Pokémon food would be a lot of help
[Electrical Recharging
Passive Skill
Your body is getting used to the Mediamancer ability's effects. As such most electrical charges used against you will give you energy.
Kind of like a familiar yellow mouse.
Effects:
most electrical charges will replenish your energy.]
'Easy choice, this is mine now.' the girl thought as she unlocked the skill.
[Copycat Attack
Activateable Skill
With a Pokémon in your hands it might be a good idea to learn what they can do. With this you can do those things yourself. After using a the Copycat Attack you will copy the most recent Pokémon move you have seen and use it, all you need to do is aim.
Effects:
Copy move most recently used by Pokémon and use it.]
'Mew can use almost every move… so that means if I use this I'll be able to do the same thing!' Lana cackled internally as she tapped the confirmation of learning the skill.
"Friend?/Mew?" The young girl turned to her door, which opened slowly to reveal Mew's glowing green eyes.
"Yes Mew?"
"Sugary Flakes ran out,/Mew meeew," The creature said as it held the now empty bowl through the doorway, "But tummy still making noises./Meeeeeewwwww."
"Hold on." Lana, not wanting to waste her Aunt's food, pulled one of the many jars of slime gel from her inventory and opened it. Mew's nose twitched as it floated towards her, or specifically the jar she now presented in front of her.
A few sniffs and a gentle lick later and the Mew was in the corner of the room, its muzzle stuffed into the jar as it mewed out in content.
Suddenly sight of the Pokémon sparked an idea.
If her newly gained Copycat Attack copied moves… wouldn't it be a good idea to try and get more, so she had a better chance of being able to use the skill?
Lana quickly looked through her game shelves and pulled out the first Pokémon game that enticed her gaze.
She was met with Pokémon Red. One of the originals. It wasn't in its original box though, and was instead inside a plastic protector. The reason why was because It wasn't exactly hers. Heck It wasn't even Dudley's to begin with.
Her mind drifted off…
[*Flashback*]
it was during break in school when her cousin decided to strike with his posse against one of the nerdier boys playing the game. Soon the boy found himself on the floor, his console in Dudley's hands while he had no way to stop it.
Dudley looked at the screen, suddenly his face was marred with weird confusion.
"What the heck is this?" Dudley exclaimed, pushing his meaty hand into the boy's face as he pointed to something on the screen. He wasn't one for 'old games', but what he saw interested him.
"I-it's a cheat in the game… it l-lets you copy a near infinite number of items." The other boy stuttered out.
"Its mine now." Dudley said as he walked away and pocketed the entire console… and then proceeded to enjoy his favourite hobby. Chasing her.
[*End*]
Dudley never worked out how to use the 'cheat', and quickly forgot about the console he stole… so she sneakily got her hands on it.
And then she found Missingno. She found it creepy, the way just a wall of odd pixels could mess with a game so bad.
But now she wanted to know… would her ability notice it?
Lana pulled out her Gameboy and ejected Pokémon Emerald, storing it into its original space on the shelves before she placed the Corrupted copy of Pokémon Red inside.
She instantly regretted it as her world froze. Her room lost all colour and her vision seemed to act up and a weird buzzing noise filled her ears.
*Find Google Doc, copy paste it*
[She decides to mess with something she knows nothing about.]
Lana's blood ran cold as she saw the cloaked figure melted out from the shadows,. Its form cloaked in glitches like the text box it appeared to speak from. Soon another came out from the shadows.
"The child 1s 1nnocent, unknowing wha7 her meddling could have unl3ashed." Lana struggled to hear what the other cloaked being spoke, as their voice was mechanical and busted, like it was coming from a broken radio.
Another cloaked glitch came to meet the others, the girl thought she could make out glasses glowing with white computer generated light under the hood.

Lana attempted to memorise the numbers… but even her memory was failing.

And just like that… the world returned to normal. Lana removed the cartridge from the system and stared at it with wide eyes.
"Friend?/Mew?" The rattled girl looked to the Pokemon, whose face was covered in Grape Gel.
"Y-yes?" She chattered.
"Friend seems troubled…/Meeewww…" The little creature looked at Lana with worried eyes.
"Its nothing…" The girl said as she shook her head and returned the cartridge to its original place on the shelves.
'Maybe I should just practice the bringing items into the real world thing…' Lana thought as she brought out Pokémon Emerald again and slotted it into the game console once more.
"So how do I do this?" the girl questioned aloud.
["Focus energy into your hand."]
The Mediamancer turned to see T1nk3r, who was sitting atop the clean Grape Gel jar Mew had just finished and had decided to go for a cat nap.
"Focus… energy?"
Lana looked at her hand and focused on it… and focused.
Then it lit up with green sparks, which tickled at her skin innocently.
["Now just think of the item you want and hold your hand to the screen. Think small, your main Mediamancer powers are still weak after all."]
'Think small… something like an Oran Berry?' Lana focused on that thought and followed T1nk3r's instruction. The green sparks slowly started jumping to the Gameboy SP, but the sparks quickly started quickly increasing in speed until the jumps looked almost like a bridge of electricity.
And then the sparks pulled out Oran Berry and placed it in her hand, just like that.
The girl looked at the berry that was almost two thirds the size of her hand for a moment, before giving it a quick scan.
[Oran Berry
Consumable
A peculiar Berry with a mix of flavours. Berries grow in half a day.
Effects:
Restores 10 HP in battle]
'Uses the text from the game… seems simple enough' Lana thought.
On a whim the girl checked her character's inventory in game… and found that she was missing an Oran Berry.
'So pulling things from the game removes them inside the game too.' She realised.
She repeated the task two more times before she heard the gentle noise of a bell being rung in her room, she looked around to find that it came from the one attached to the Quest Board, which now had a piece of paper pinned to it. Lana quickly stored away the berries into her inventory before getting up from her bed and walking to the board.
She gently pulled the pin out from the paper, which vanished into the air after its task of keeping things still had ended, and started to read it.
=To anyone reading this, I need your help. You see I am working on a healing potion, but am lacking one of the most important ingredients, red slime gel. The properties inside the gel is extremely useful for healing and I have recently ran out. If you could, please send ten small jars post-haste! If done so, I shall give you some of my private potion stocks and one of these odd coins I've found randomly recently.

'Seems easy enough' Lana thought as she pulled out ten of the ordered jars and placed them into the turn in box, which made them vanish. She then pulled off one of the spare pieces of paper, pulled out her pen and proceeded to write a note.
=To Hum Bel
Here is that gel you requested, luckily I managed to collect some the other day so I could get them sent to you.
Lana=
With the note finished she placed it into the box and watched as it vanished like the jars.
After a few seconds of waiting Lana walked over to her bed and sat on it, twiddling her fingers as she waited. Suddenly, a window appeared in front of her.
[Quest Complete!

2 Nutrition Potions Acquired!

1 Lucky Coin acquired!
Rewards contained inside box]
Lana closed the window and walked over to the Board, which had it's bell ringing once more, and opened the reward box. Inside was three bottles, which were about the same size as her slime jars but thinner and taller. One contained a clear liquid, which swirled around like a beast attempting to escape, and two held a Purplish fluid which sparkled slightly. Along with that was a lucky coin and another note which Lana read quickly.
=Dear Lana
Thank you for your quick delivery of the items I requested. If you can match the same speed as you have done before I'm certain we will be great friends.
Anyway, the rewards given are sure to help. A speed potion will give you a boost to your agility in a pinch and Nutrition Potions are great with replenishing energy stores after you forget to eat…
I sometimes get really into making potions, and forget to eat… That's why they were in my private stores…
I'm just going to finish off here. Good luck with future endeavours and I hope to see you fulfilling my dire requests once more.
If you manage to find your way into the Murk Swamps, be sure to visit… if you can find me.
Goodbye

With the note read Lana crumpled it up before tossing it into her bin, which was conveniently beside the board, and scanning the potions. First came the Speed One

Speed Potions can be really helpful in a pinch, as once consumed they can boost your Agility stat for a single battle be sure to use it wisely though, as they are quite hard to come by!

'Nice…' The child thought as she put away the potion and went onto scanning the next ones.
[Nutrition Potion

Nutrition Potions are extremely useful for people who forget to eat… or are not allowed to eat. Inside contains a keg load of helpful magic that goes through your body and fixes damage related to hunger and malnutrition.
It also doesn't 'fill you up' meaning you can eat whatever you like afterwards.
Effects:
Restores 100 Energy
Cures Malnutrition Based Debuffs.]
Lana didn't need to read it twice. She popped the cork of one of the bottles and chugged the purple fluid down… it didn't exactly taste of anything, but it most certainly did something!
Lana could feel herself growing stronger, the gnawing feeling that she felt inside her that was slowly going away after getting good meals immediately vanished.
She felt amazing!
[Malnourishment and Abuse Debuff Removed!]
The girl smiled happily as she stared at the now empty vial… magic truly was amazing.
After a couple minutes of enjoying the lack of the gnawing hunger she had been feeling most of her life Lana stored the other Potion away.
"Now what should I do?" She asked aloud.
["Perhaps you should check your menu? Something feels different… and my database has some new information that I didn't have before."]
The Mediamancer looked at the message with confusion, but did indeed decide to check her main menu.

"That's weird… that Party button wasn't there originally was it?"
["Indeed it wasn't… did something happen?"]
Lana stayed silent, preferring not to speak up about the event that took place with the glitch people… the one speaking with words had mentioned an ability to keep an eye on her… maybe this was it? Finding a way into her ability so they could mess with it however they wanted?
["Never mind about that… perhaps we should just see what it does?"]
The girl nodded in acceptance… that did seem like a reasonable idea.

Activate In Vision Party Display? Y / N]
"So it was just a basic party system where I can see ally HP and Energy? This display thing must mean I can see it in my 'HUD' I presume?" Lana questioned.
["That is correct, my new information says you can also add people to the party by channelling your Mediamancy ability through someone you have reasonable reputation with, and that it has a maximum of up to five people linked. It also says that removing a person from the system is as easy is just pulling the link away… sounds simple enough"]
"Okay then…" The Mediamancer closed the window, but not before activating the Party Display, which did indeed show the HP and Energy bars below her's in her vision. It made sense to why it could be toggled too, as if an entire party was there with high enough stats it could quite possibly be a very big distraction.
Of course, she didn't mind that right now though. It didn't take much space. In her vision so it didn't matter.
'Now what's left on my expanding mental check-list?' The girl hummed as she thought for a few moments before recalling something.
"I was going to see what Feather was doing in the Farm Fields!"
Lana quickly brought up the menu and activated the portal to the Fields, her room filled with its gentle glow.
["I'll stay here and keep an eye on Mew, they might cause some problems if left alone and you probably don't want to panic Feather with them."]
"Thanks T1nk3r. I'll see you in a while."
With that Lana, after putting on some shoes, went through the portal.
The arrival out of this one went a lot smoother than her previous venture, as her feet landed on soft grass, instead of a slime puddle. After properly confirming that all the ground around her didn't hold any secrets attempting to ruin the moment the girl took a look at her surroundings.
The description of 'fields' were extremely accurate. All around her the girl could notice grassy lands as far as the eye could see, with a few gentle rivers and streams flowing past them. Every once and a while she could see a few tree groves or a patch of flowers but it was mostly just lush green grass. Oddly there were also some rather healthy looking dirt plots, surrounded with stones and marked with signs.
One other thing that caught the girl's eyes was the small tent she saw hidden under the shade of an apple tree, ripe with red fruit.
'That must be Feather' Lana realised and began walking in the tent's direction.
True to her thoughts it was indeed Feather's tent, as the angel was sitting in front of it poking at a small fire with a stick. She appeared to hear the other female's footsteps too, as she looked up when Lana started to get close.
"A-ahh, L-lana… thank you for visiting." the winged being stuttered.
"It was my pleasure." The girl replied kindly. Her charm stat decided that it was good enough for the moment too, as Feather blushed at the words.
"I w-would ask if you wanted a seat… but Angels are left on their jobs with only bare essentials packed… like my tent."
"You don't need to do that, I just wanted to ask you a quick question." Lana requested.
"A-ask away."
"One of my abilities has shown a few things about you… and it also describes you as a 'Servant', is it misinforming me or has something happened after you want into the field?" the girl asked.
Feather's entire face went a brilliant shade of red at the question.
"W-well I s-suppose I should t-tell you… Angels after some time are assigned to a b-being to help and serve… but sometimes our powers do it automatically after t-they feel like something is… 'w-worth the worship'. A-after you let me into this field… my p-powers found you w-worthy and I was bound to you."
"Okay… so you're bound to me?" Lana confirmed.
"A-as your servant… Y-yes. I'll do anything you a-ask me to." the angel bowed deeply, her face almost glowing in embarrassment… which Lana noticed.
"You don't need to be embarrassed, Feather. From what you said it looks like your powers were out of your control when it happened… I'm more than happy to be your…" the girl tried to find a correct term for what she was to the winged humanoid.
"A f-few terms angels like to use is 'higher up/boss', god or goddess… o-or just Master or Mistress." Feather finished, catching onto what the other girl wanted to say.
"Lets just stick with higher up and boss for now. But if you are in servitude… what can you do?" Lana asked.
"W-well… casting weak healing and e-enhancement spells… a few l-light weapon m-magics… I can also t-tend to plants fairly well." she listed off after some thought.
'That seems okay… I do need someone to stay in the field and take care of the stuff I put here.' The Mediamancer thought
"That is all I need to know Feather. Thanks for answering my questions."
"M-my pleasure…" The angel mumbled out.
A few minutes later Lana finally got up from the grassy floor and smiled at Feather.
"I'm going to be planting a few seeds here, do you think your could watch them while I do other things?"
"Of c-course!" The angel squeaked out while giving a shy bow.
With that the nine year old walked out from the winged being's camp… then stopped once she realised something.
The girl turned to the angel, who stared back with curiosity, and asked another question.
"Do you have any farming tools? I just realised that I would need some."
"I have a few spares in my tent… do you want m-me to get them?"
"Please."
A few minutes later Lana properly left the camp, her inventory now holding required planting apparatus.
She walked to the nearest farm plots and pulled out a simple trowel, one of the things that Feather had given her, and the blessed seeds. After some thought she planted a single one inside…
'if the seeds made a random plant I'll would have no idea how big they'll be… so it will be a good idea to separate them.' the girl thought as she covered the shiny looking seed with the moist dirt. Almost instantly she saw a tiny green sprout coming out the earth, which was visibly growing slowly.
After marking the plot's sign with the words =Blessed Seed 1= She moved to the next one. These actions were repeated until she had used all the seeds.
Finally, she moved to one last plot. From her inventory she pulled out her three Oran Berries and planted them into the dirt. One more sign marking later Lana smiled at a job complete.
Now all she had to do is wait.
But waiting could be done elsewhere.
After storing away her new farming tools… and washing her dirtied shoes a little… Lana opened a portal home and walked through it.
A quick check of her bedside clock made the girl raise her brow lightly, she had done so much… but it was still only about lunch time?
=12:10=
The clatter of plates along with a knock on her door brought her out of her thoughts. She quickly made her way over to it and opened it. On the other side of it was Ruby, holding two plates with two sandwiches on each.
"I heard you coming back and I was wondering if you wanted to eat lunch with me?" She asked.
Lana smiled and nodded, accepting her aunt's request.
Ruby headed to the living room and placed the plates on the coffee table. The both of them took a seat and began eating.
"So how has your store been going?" the little girl asked as she took a bite of the sandwich triangle, which turned out to be prawn mayo.
"Its been fine. Most people come in with their children asking about the newest games, or they come in looking to buy a pack or two of a card game. How has your day been so far?"
"Its been okay. I flipped some Lucky Coins and got some good prizes…"
"Lucky Coins?" Ruby said in a questioning tone.
"Oh… well they are like a little coins that you flip and they give you a random reward. I get them quite regularly… in fact I have one now if you want to see one?" Lana explained.
"If you don't mind." The woman answered.
The Mediamancer pulled out her most recent coin and showed it to the woman, who inspected it with some interest.
"And you just flip them to get a reward? Like what?" The elder Potter asked.
"Well the Juice box you saw me drink in Diagon Alley was one of them," The younger Potter mentioned, "Here, let me show you how it works."
Lana flipped the coin into the air and watched the regular sight of it vanishing.
What she got in return surprised her, it surprised Ruby too, and she was the first one to react as she went to grab the object out of the air before placing it carefully onto the table.
It was a sword, a big one that was more fitting for two-handing. The blade was made of strange black metal and shimmered with a red sheen every once and a while. The grip was a deep red and black scaled leather, and the sword guard was aimed upward along the same direction as the sword and was sharp at the tips. Finally, at the pommel of the weapon was a blood red gem.
[Very Rare Prize!
Fear Eater
Weapon
The Fear Eater is a blade of unknown creation. It's weight is nearly non-existent, so holding it is extremely easy.
For a good reason too. The weapon works off intimidation and fear factor, the more people fear the blade the stronger it is against them.
Effects:
Damage increases based on fear of opponent.]
"So do you get things like this regularly? A big evil looking sword?" Ruby questioned, her voice going slightly higher as she said it.
"I don't think I'm supposed to, but my luck stat seems to be extremely high and it means I get rare prizes like this." Lana answered back.
"Okay then…"
The rest of the meal was eaten quickly and in silence, Fear Eater having put them off slightly.
They would laugh about it later though.
After placing the plates into the sink for later washing Ruby headed back downstairs, she did have to get back to work after all, leaving Lana by herself once more.
She really didn't want to get into any more adventures that day though, so after putting away Fear Eater into storage (Finding that it was extremely light like her system said… but she didn't want to test in in fear of killing walls) she went into her room and picked out a book to read… She chose to pick out the first Manga of Yu-Gi-Oh and quickly went through it. As she closed the book to signal its finish the girl noticed a small text box in her vision.
[Complete the season to get a reward.]
'Alright then.' Lana thought, closing the window before getting up and pulling out the next volume.
The rest of her day was spend reading… but of course the 'season' was fifty volumes so she only managed to cut through at least ten of them before Ruby called her for dinner.
After dinner, some rather nice Homemade Fish and Chips, Lana returned to her room, popping open the next volume and powering on, only getting distracted by Mew and T1nk3r a few times as they surfed the web on her computer, which Dudley had so graciously gifted her along with her other collection of games.
How they managed to do it with the cat having tiny paws and the p1x13 being the size of her hand she wouldn't question, but it was distracting the energetic Pokémon very well so she wouldn't even try to.
She managed to finish fifteen more volumes before drowsiness hit her head on. It seemed to hit Mew too as the two tiny beings turned off the device and moved to appropriate resting locations.
For Mew? next to her, curled up on the bed. For T1nk3r? Next to Charming Chanae for some reason that night.
The three of them slept, or powered down if you wanted to be appropriate for the mechanical pixie creature, soundly, their dreams or stray data filled with adults playing children's card games, Delicious jelly and cat videos.
AND END.
I may have rushed the end there… sorry.
Anyway, remember last chapter how I said people might be able to be a part of the story? Well here you go!
The rules and steps to becoming someone who needs help.
First we go through the rules:
1: One quest at a time. If you already have a quest on the board and it hasn't been completed, do not send another until it is finished!
2: Keep it age appropriate. Lana is nine right now, don't try and get her to go on like a panty raid… ya creeps.
3: Make reasonable awards. While Lana is quickly becoming overpowered she is working on it in her own way, don't give her a hat that makes everything around her bend to her will.
4: Don't put the requirements above her skill levels… or precisely her Mediamancy ability. If you want her to grab a picture of Giratina, wait until she can actually get a picture of Giratina.
Those are the rules, if your quest isn't accepted I'll be sure to tell you… but you want to know how to make a quest don't you? Well here you are.
Step One: Make a note
Create a note for the quest board, follow Hum Bel's example by putting a character name… or not if you want to be sneaky. You can have any character
Step Two: write the quest pop up. The system is as follows. Keep an eye for the asterisks (*) for places you need to fill in.
[Quest! *Insert Quest Name*
*insert quest description*
Quest completion requirements:
*insert quest completion requirements.*
Bonus requirements:
*Insert another thing that you might want done, but is not related to the quest's main objective.*
Rewards:
*Insert reward*
*Insert bonus reward if appropriate, or leave it as ? if you want it as secret from Lana, than give it to me somewhere else in your message.*
*Insert xp reward number here*xp (Before bonuses)
*Insert How many lucky coins will be given* Lucky Coin(s)
*Insert a failure 'reward', or put 'Quest failure is unobtainable' if you have nothing negative to do*
Quest Timer: *insert time limit if appropriate to quest*.]
That should be all you need! Ask me any questions you need to, however let it be known I may be slow on the answer depending on certain things… like if a lot of people give me quests.
Going to orbit… DESTINY 2 IN FIVE DAYS… that may slow down the story…
Cya.
