Lobby Adventures
Episode 2
Shadowed Destiny
-The Lobby, a place where hunter's unite for one common purpose -- to piss the hell out of each other. I'm one of those
bastards you love to hate -- one of those guys who never leaves the lobbies. If there is an intro to this story... this will
be it.
I couldn't quite imagine Shadow with Lina. Seriously, I couldn't, I had already forgotten what Lina had looked like.
I had also forgotten to get her guild card. She was probably on right now -- but what did I care. I wasn't a stalker. Hell,
I never moved. Ophelia 12 is my home and I wasn't going to leave it right now. The block was unusually crowded today. Mostly
with those idiots who run around with those masturbation symbol chats. You know what I'm talking about. I hated those guys,
I wanted to punch their faces in repeatedly. They probably think the chicks like it. They couldn't get any chicks if they
wanted too. Hell, what am I talking about, I can't get any chicks either. There it goes again -- the same symbol over and
over again. You know the routine. When someone has one of those symbols they never stop using it. Like they think we
need to see it thousands of times. Maybe the reason I hate those symbol chat things so much is because I've seen them
a million times. Sure, I got a kick out of it the first time. But after that, I was driven with some rage to beat them all
up.
Over in one of the lone corners of the lobby I noticed a RAmar. He was wearing a black costume with black hair and
a face mask. He looked like a suspicious character. But I'm not one to dabble in those kinds of matters. I saw someone
approach him and exchange guild cards. I knew the hunter who had just approached. It was Link182, a seedy character who
was once a member of the Chancellor's of Fate. I diverted my eyes away from Link in order to humor myself with the
conversation the newbs were having. They were level two hundred but from the way they talked I could tell they were
cheaters:
"Hey dude guess what weapon I just got?"
"What?"
"A varista! It's super rare and ultra powerful! Nothing can beat it!"
"Wow! I got a sword +5 today on normal mode!"
"Dude that's like the rarest weapon on Ragol!"
"I know it's totally excellent."
Their conversation continued. I was too busy laughing my ass off to hear the rest. When I looked back to the
corner where Link and the mystery man had been, they were gone. Damn. Somehow I knew something was wrong with the
situation I had seen earlier. I knew Link was a hacker, but Hacker's were useless after the last patch. If binary code
was caught being messed with the player would now be permanentaly banned. This is all too complicated. Normally I wouldn't
care. I really don't care. Or that's what I was trying to trick myself into realizing. The newbs were still talking:
"The tekker said I found an extremely rare DB's Saber!"
"Holy crap! No way, thats too kickass to be true."
"Seriously man! I also found a few trimates."
"TRIMATES!"
"TRIMATES, dude!"
"HOLY SHIT! TRIMATES!"
"Yeah! TRIMATES!"
I fell on the ground laughing. I couldn't help but laughing at those guys. They were hillarious. I bet they didn't
even understand how to pull off lobby actions yet. I showed off a bit by falling on the ground.
"How the hell do you do that?" One newb asked.
Told you.
"Press alt+F1" I said as the newb slipped back into his own world.
"ALT+F1!"
"NO WAY!"
"YES WAY!"
I began to laugh again. Shadow was missing this. He was probably making out with Lina. That's good but this was
comic gold. A few laughs erupted from the newbs as the maturbation symbol chat flashed on the screen once more. The dude
with the symbol was starting to piss me off. I walked over to him.
"Dude shut the hell up," I told him.
"Why, this is great!"
I let my fist fly through the air. It impacted the bastard so hard some of the witnesses claimed it knocked his mom
over. The newbs didnt notice th fist fight. They were too absorbed in bragging about who could beat the dragon faster.
"You didn't have to hit me." The man said.
"Yes I did," I replyed.
I walked away from the man and back to my spot. I stood there waiting for something to happen. Shadow arrived late
as usual. He was with Lina. I wonder if hes been slapped yet. Knowing him he probably has. He was rejected by sixty
different girls in the same year once. Somehow, I know hes going to screw up with this one. He always screws up.
"Waffles!" Shadow yelled.
That was how he greeted everyone. He seemed to be obsessed with waffles. I think he was. What do I mean think. I
knew he was.
"Outlaw, there's been some crazy stuff going on in the lobbies recently. People are being banned without reason," Shadow
stated.
I knew something was up.
MORE TO COME...
