Callie had finally figured out how to perform her magic in the game. She now felt safer going out into the open world. Were other players stuck too? She concentrated on opening her menu, it appeared in front of her eyes, showing only her inventory and stats. There was no exit button. Getting sucked into a game wasn't supposed to happen, but not being able to exit it was another. Internalising her panic, she made her way to where a large group of people were chatting nervously about how they had been sucked into the game. She moved an empty crate in front of them and stood upon it, slamming it down to gain their attention.
"Players of Delta Space," she addressed them loudly, "it appears we have been sucked into a game which we love so much." Suddenly, a loud whoosh came from behind her and a large, pixelated figure appeared.
"Hello players, it seems my update worked." It was the game creator, "If you wish to return to your lives, you must find and kill the Delta, the original goal of this game. I trapped you in here because none of you are bothered enough to do anything! Good luck" and with that, he disappeared.
Stuck in a Game RP
Tera watched as her target made her proclamation and the creator gave his speech. No more time for assassination, she opened her quest menu and quit the assassination quest in progress. If she was going to win, she'd have to start teaming up. Even if she was in a guild, having other teammates outside of her guild would be a good idea. She rushed down to the crate where the mage stood, and said, "Hey, you got time to talk?"
"Sure.." Callie replied, still a little shaken up from the game creators appearance.
Tera pulled her between two buildings before she could finish saying "Sure". Tera quickly looked around to make sure they wouldn't be heard. Then it hit her. "Do you know a silencing spell? One where only we could here our conversation?"
"Yeah.." Callie cast it quickly with the tap of her staff and a translucent bubble appeared around them. It would stop any prying ears.
"Great. Oh, sorry, I should probably introduce myself, I'm Tera," Tera held out a hand.
Isadora stared at where the pixelated figure had disappeared in complete and utter disbelief and fury. No way. No way. No way.
But Isadora was not one to back down in the face of a challenge. He wanted her to get to level 500 and beat his stupid frickin delta monster. She would do it. All by HERSELF.
With that decided Isadora decided it would be wise to find out the extent of her powers. But somewhere private, where she wasn't showing all the other players who were currently milling around either screaming at the sky, sobbing or trying their best to form alliances.
"Nice to meet you Tera, I'm Callie."
"Alright, now with introductions out of the way, what do you know about all this?"
"Well, the update triggered some effect trapping us in the game aaand now we can't log out…" Callie replyed, trying to remember anything else that she had learnt so far.
"Is that all?" Tera thought of what happened. She had been one of the first to trigger the update, and she learned a few more things, "Did you know you can learn even more skills and even make your own?"
On her way out, Isadora came across two players talking to each other under the protection of a mute bubble. Using up a little of her energy Isadora tried her best to blend in with the wall behind her. She was still learning to control her concealment powers, but maybe she would be able to overhear something of interest.
(wait, what do you mean by make your own skills?)
Tera knew another player was trying to overhear, but decided to leave them be. Tera could either hunt them down or befriend them, whichever came first.
Callie felt a ripple go through the bubble, but she didn't see anything. Perhaps it was just a fly, she didn't worry about it too much.
(Because players are capable of moving their bodies in-game, wouldn't it be reasonable to say they could create new skills using their unlimited movement and speaking abilities?)
Isadora saw the two girls look over at her as if they had felt a disturbance in their bubble and decided now was probably a good time to leave. Moving behind a building, she morphed back into her owl shape and flew out of the safe zone, her determination unwavering.
(I don't really understand- wouldn't speech already be a skill)
(Maybe a certain skill requires the player to chant certain words or make movements. So, combining different skills, wouldn't a person be able to create new skills? If you don't like this idea it could just be a lie I told you to persuade you to party up with me.)
(wait so you're saying we could invent like new magic spells?)
(Yeah, pretty much)
(that sounds cool, maybe for when we level up more tho)
(Ok, should we continue the RP now that that's cleared up?)
(sounds good to me!)
(okay)
Callie popped the bubble and the two walked back to the main area.
Isadora hovered above the safe-zone in owl form, watching the chaos that was ensuing below. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to ally herself with someone powerful. She could always backstab them later.
That Callie girl was a level 20. She could be an advantage.
With that decided, Isadora swooped down into a tree near the safe zone, content to wait until Callie emerged.
Callie walked out and stood a little bit away from the other players, she would rather not get lost in it all, preferring to have a clear head. She decided that she would form a party of players who she thought were strong enough to defeat the Delta alongside her… She just had to think of a name.
(I'm thinking of "the Tea Party" because I'm lame, but idm)
Isadora watched as Callie distanced herself from the other players and swooped downwards, morphing back into a human once she hit the ground.
"Hey," she said from behind Callie.
