Lobby Adventures
Episode 3
This is the third Episode
-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.
Banned without reason? That's impossible. Or is it -- I think it's impossible but I'm not quite sure. It could be
some new code made by hackers... but how was it affecting the server. The binary code patch would have caught it. Something
is afoot. My foot's a foot. But why would you care. Why would anyone care?
"I was making out with Lina at Oberon 1 and I noticed a mysterious figure handing people items. Next thing I knew they were
gone," Shadow stated.
Sounded similar to the old CK hack. Someone drops a hacked item and BAM! Your character gets deleted for good. What
really sounded fishy about this was that trading was not allowed in the lobbies. Binary code would have to be screwed with
just to get that far. But it can't be. No hacker can surpass the patch.
"I was offered the item, but it was too risky. I wasn't going to take an item in the middle of the lobby," Shadow continued.
I didn't really care about what Shadow was saying anymore. All I cared about was solving this crazy mystery. Were
the Chancellor's of Fate behind this? Or was Link182 just an outside source. As these questions flew through my head I began
to lose interest in the topic.
"I..." Shadow tried saying.
"I don't care. I'll find out about it soon enough. I saw the guilty party in this lobby earlier. Him and Link182," Outlaw
interrupted.
"So Chancellor's of Fate are involved?"
"I guess so."
"Tell me if you find out more. I'm going back to Oberon 1 with Lina."
As Shadow was leaving I looked around the room hoping to hear some more of the newbs conversation. But It was no use
they were already gone. Possibly out destroying the all powerful Dragon on Normal Mode. Nothing interesting seemed to be
going on in the lobby. It was deserted. I looked around the room for something to do. And then it hit me -- Lobby Soccer.
Lobby Soccer was rarely ever played unless you were extremely bored. And I was. When I arrived in Lobby 11 there was already
a game going on. The players were three level 15 forces. I could destroy them any day. I noticed the odd shape of the ball.
It was shaped like a chu-chu. Why had Pioneer Two purchased such ridiculous soccer balls? Sure it was fun to look at
but how the hell are you supposed to roll a ball with giant mouse ears sticking out? You can't. Well you can... but it's
quite difficult and even the most experienced hunters can't pull it off. I decided I'd join the game.
I approached the forces who were playing the game. They seemed pretty bad at it. By that I mean really bad. Not
crapping your pants bad... only farting in front of a bunch of people bad. While I'm on the topic of farting I feel the need
to tell this story. One time I met a hunter who claimed he let out a giant fart right in front of Dark Falz. Nothing shows
your weak more than farting in front of a boss. He was defeated in a matter of seconds. And by Darvants no less. I never
even thought about farting in front of a boss after hearing that one. Anyways, the forces sucked at Lobby Soccer -- period.
I'm not going to go into the details of the match, but it turns out the forces beat me nine to two. I was never
good at judging people's skill at sports, I didn't know enough about sports to do so. I didn't care enough. I am probably
the most useless hunter ever to grace Pioneer Two and Ragol. I havn't done one thing to solve the mystery behind the
explosion. Maybe I should. No, I'm not going to. I really don't care about anything. I heard the sound of someone entering
the lobby. It was none other than Vampire. Vampire was the dark badass without a cause type character. He didn't give a
crap about anything except killing shit and being the most feared warrior on Pioneer Two. His battle status read "Wins:783
Disconnect: 0". People were offering 999,999 meseta to anyone who could beat him.
"Outlaw, have you heard about the bannings?" he asked.
"Yes, I have."
"One of those bastards, I think his name was 'Iceberg', tried giving me hacked item. I took it and it had no effect on me.
I've got to many protection cheats on."
Protection cheats were the only cheats left unbanned by the patch. The only problem with them was that no normal
person could actually get them to work. Only extremely experienced hunters could.
"Excellent. Have you examined the object yet?" I questioned.
"Yes of course. It was a saber and on the handle the initials 'FOF' were inscribed."
I didn't know to make of Vampire's info. I knew Iceberg was the old leader of Chancellor's of Fate. So this whole
deal must be their work. But what did the initials mean?
MORE TO COME...
