Read, then review!
And no, there aren't any problems with Thunder-Beards speech. He uses a keyboard.
And sorry for the long update (though I have gone longer!)
Another white vortex appeared in a seemlessly blue air. It twirled and curved and split several times. After a time (approximately 5 minutes, according to the new 'on screen' clock), he finally saw a white light and the apparent end of the tunnel. The light filled the air, and after a few short seconds, it dimmed out to grey. Grey flickered to a sky colored blue. The blue became deeper, until it returned to the familiar vortex on blue. The vision flickered for a few moments, then returned to the old grey screen. White lines formed out of no where, creating a grid, distorted by small bumps. It stopped at a tall, tall, bump. More white lines formed from apparently random points on this distorted grid, forming different shapes.
He was apparently in a lush rain forest, complete with shrubs and trees with a large amount of foliage. Yet yellow speckles were everywhere. No color had been added yet, and some rough red lines started form in different areas as well, but they were moving, and humanoid, most likely the players. Some were just running, others were walking in groups, and some were attacking nothingness. Nothingness was quickly replaced by green lines forming strange creations. They were spouting more yellow speckles, and everything began to take a more prominant form. Everything flickered slightly a few times, and he looked around. Everything was in the basic colors of white, red, green, yellow, and the few spots of blue, all on a grey background. Some small green spot approached and moved violently. A red figure came from nowhere, and purple text came out of nowhere.
"you got this" it read.
"What?" he responded.
"do you have this" it replied, pushing the older text upwards, disappearing later.
"Have what?"
"this goga its gonna kill you" it responded. The older text was disappearing as it was bumped up.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Take it, though." he responded. He walked off. He stopped aburptly, though, when the area flickered again. He felt strange. He looked at his hand. He was in a red grid-outline like everything else, but color suddenly flowed from his head and began to cover himself. His hand was a greyish-dark green. He looked about himself. He was wereing ragged linen clothing, and his brown linen shoes were muddy and wet. He looked around. Everything was still in its outline, but was quickly covered with color. The world was a vibrant one, and this 'goga' was still small and now a similar grey-green, only it had blood red eyes and was cut in half by the hairy mans axe.
"gogas make good hunting for newbies" he said, in a more elegant form of text, and in a vibrant negative color of the background. Type about standing out! "you can have this"
The hairy man extended his left arm, offering nothing. A small virtual screen appeared in front of him though, in a dull grey metallic coating. It was a 'Trading Window', and it had seventeen gold coins in it. A small red glob quickly appeared next to it.
"What is this?" he asked.
"gold and jelly i found on it" they said, "take it"
"Why...?"
"your a n00b"
"so you need to have some money to start off with and some basic food for health"
"take it"
"it was attacking you"
Apparently, this hairy axe-wielding person was honorable enough to let someone have some appropriate spoils, but didn't use punctuation or captialization. Odd.
"Okay... How?" he asked. "And could you communicate properly, you're flooding my screen."
"okay, 'rishido'... what are you using to play?" the ape asked.
"Uh... an emulator." Rishido asked.
"good. just take it, and it will close!" apeman said.
"Okay..." Rishido said, placing his hand into the window. Everything just disappeared, and the window closed. "Uh... thanks. Who are you?"
"im' thunder-beard, nordic axeman. level 12, and you are in the small trading village of donk parlim." Thunder-Beard said.
"Right. do you know where I can find a 'Setoe'? He's a High Elf, friend of mine."
"Setoe... friend to one, hated by all. that come cross him anyways. takes their things, and i think he cheats. he has 20ith lvl equips at lvl 8."
"I thought it was seven?"
"no, hes an 8err now. however, im one of few that dont hate him, ands on good terms with him"
"in this ares"
"area"
"Okay. Can you take me to him, please?" Rishido asked.
"rright this way..." Beard said, running off through the forest, to where the mountain was. Rishido followed him, but couldn't keep up.
"Wait, I'm lagging behind!"
"youve encountered lag?"
"No, you're too fast for me!" Rishido said, walking towards Thunder-Beard.
"thats cuz your walking. your in a emulator, run!"
"How?"
"the natural way, st00pid."
"Yeah, and you're replacing a single vowel with two numbers..." Rishido muttered.
"muttering doesnt work when you have text filtering on! come on, join my group!"
"How?"
Thunder-Beard poked Rishido, then raised his hand up to chest level. "high five me"
Rishido high-fived him, and his left arm began to sprawl. He looked underneath it, and saw five names with three stacked bars next to each one. They were all at full.
Thunder-Beard, Bocuri, Ryuuji, Isis, Monk.
"open your speech filter by grabbing your wrist and selecting group" Beard said.
Rishido grabbed his left wrist, and another screen popped up. He tapped the one labeled "Group".
"How's that work?" Rishido asked.
"Work's fine, newcomer." The name Bocuri was highlighted as this was said, and it sounded quite familiar.
"weve got us another traveler, also looking for Setoe." Beard said. The text appeared at the bottom of Rishido's sight, but was now in a different tone than before.
"Hey everybody. Where are you?" Rishido asked.
"We're at the Tavern, mate. Chugging down these Grogas! They're mighty tasteful!" Bocuri said.
"lets get going then. buy our friend a weapon while your there isis" Beard said.
"I already have." Isis replied. She also sounded familiar.
The two ran off towards the mountain, and Rishido was actually keeping up. He was actually faster than Thunder-Beard. After almost a minute, they arrived in town. They walked right, into the Tavern. He saw four distinct people: a bi-pedal lizard, known as Isis; a bi-pedal cat known as Ryuuji; a small tanned elf known as Monk; and a normal sized person with white hair, known as Bocuri.
"'Ello, there, Rishy!" Bocuri said, hitting Rishido on the shoulder.
"Don't call me that. Sounds like fishy. You can call me by proper name, or parse it, without adding more letters."
"Right, then." Purred Ryuuji. "So, you picked Dark Elf?"
"Yes. It was the only one that even remotely suits me." Rishido responded.
Isis handed Rishido a long iron sword, or Iron Longsword. He pulled it out of the window, and was wielding it. A number in red offset appeared 'on screen': 25.
"Put that away!" Isis scolded, motioning for the waist. Rishido put it at his waist, where it clamped. The number dropped to 15. He let go, and the weapon disappeared. "It's illegal to carry a weapon in front of others!"
"Where did it go?" Rishido asked.
"It disappears to save space. By placing your hand at your waist then grabbing, you can pull it back out." Monk replied.
"How do you know that?" Ryuuji asked.
"I accidentally pulled out my starting dagger."
"Ah."
"anyways, were heading east now. im sure Setoe is going to be mad, but thatll be your fault." Beard said, walking out of the Tavern, turning right. Everyone followed. They walked casually towards the gate, but began to run after bypassing it. He stopped a short distance away, then turned around.
"attack me" Beard said.
Everyone looked at Rishido. "Me?" He asked.
"yes you. youll need to know how to battle along the way. draw yor sowrd."
"your swrod"
"sword"
Rishido placed his hand on his waist, then grabbed. A sword materialized out of nowhere into his hand. He held it in front of him, in a classic newbie stance.
"no no, all wronf!"
"wrong" Beard corrected. "you hold it with two hands, off to your good side, pointing backwards... yes yes!" Beard applauded, as Rishido followed his directions. "this is the way you stance for battle. this is the only way to stance when using a 2hander, exluding staffs. it lets human opponents know you are ready to fight, and it gives you a nice sweeping opener attack. swing at me!"
Rishido swung. Thunder-Beard flinched from the impact, and some blood was oozing from the new wound.
"good. after an attack, you set your weapon back into stance, unless your going to follow it up with another attack, which iwll leave you wide open for attack if you arent careful." he drew his own weapon, pulling it off his back. "attack me again, and ill block it. keep attacking until you hit me."
Rishido swung again, and the Nord blocked with his axe, while still in battle stance. Rishido attacked again, with a thrust. Thunder-Beard blocked it again. Rishido kept attacking from all angles, trying to get away from the axe and cut Thunder-Beard, who kept blocking each one.
"make your own critical!"
Rishido ignored this, and kept going. He swung at the axe, after noticing a major flaw. His sword caught the axe and almost yanked it away from Beard. Rishido took the opening and stabbed him.
"good job, almost disarmed me. now, inflict a good portion"
Rishido kept attacking, and tryed that same tactic again, but failed. He brought his right knee into Beards rib cage, who staggered from the blow, then attempted a chop at him. Beard blocked it again, but Rishido kicked his left leg out into the opposing ribs. He rolled to the right, around Thunder-Beard, and continued his assault on the exposed area. He cut down a good portion of his health.
"ah..." Beard took a swig of something, and his health returned to normal. "stop. good. now, block me."
Rishido resuming combat stance, and Beard attacked. Rishido blocked every hit, except one that broke his sword and did a half-decapitation. Rishido died. A flash of red, and it slowly faded away. He could see the world around him in mute color. He looked around, and saw his own body at his feet. Isis bent over and dumped some liquid onto it. He was thrown back into his own body.
"Killed him, did you?" said a cold voice.
Okay, so there were some lame jokes in there, but now we know this:
Only Odion, Ishizu, Ryou, Otogi, and Yugi made it into the right area. If you remember, Yugi named his character 'Monk'. If you know the Japanese names of people (or their subtitles), you'll know that Rishido is Odion's character, Isis is Ishizu's character, and Ryuuji is Otogi's character. So, that means that Bocuri is Ryou. But who is Thunder-Beard!? You'll find out, next chapter!
