5th Blog - Fire It Up [Backdated May 4th]

Text - Public

[ With her last bounty hunt ending up in a gunfight and Icy's recent attack on Attleton, Genessia's dangers have finally revealed themselves and made Mariko see how unprepared she really is. She's confident in her powers for the most part, because back home they managed to save her bacon more times than she can count. But this is not her world. She'll need to start adapting for real, and she cannot do that by remaining obscure. Deciding to step out of her comfort zone, she sends a public text in hopes of meeting someone and learning something new: ]

Looking for people to train with and partner or team up at the Holodeck. Not looking to pick a fight with anyone here, just putting that out there before you get any ideas. Recent events just made me want to step my game up. I fight with firearms as my main weapon of choice and my combat experience is short and against "supernatural" enemies. I'm not a regular human like the natives of Genessia City, physically speaking. Disparities in our abilities can be a turn-off though and some of you might have questions, so let's hash things out first if you're unsure and schedule a time. I'd definitely appreciate it

yo i'm always game

hell i could probably show you a thing or too about shooting

[majestiq]

Don't you just have handguns? I only got a rifle that I can summon.

[alwaysimpaled]

handguns, shotgun, anti-material rifle, a laser gun forged in hell, a briefcase that can turn into 666 different guns including bazookas, missile launchers, gatling guns, laser cannons, a blade disk, and even a floating missile platform

im well versed in firearms

[majestiq]

You must have some really, really deep pockets to have all of that

[alwaysimpaled]

nah just a big ass sword

i find a lot of cool shit on jobs

[orlokbutterfly]

I could always go for some extra action in my life.

If you wanna partner with the local cyborg, you know who to hit up.

[majestiq]

Time to see if your dance moves are useful in fighting lol. Never saw you fight btw. Can you turn your arm into a gun or something? That would be so cool

[orlokbutterfly]

Trust me, they are incredibly useful.
Even moreso if you bring some sweet tunes.

Turning my arm into a gun, no.
but I do have katars in my wrists.

Bard & Dancer Action!

[majestiq]

Meh. Guns are cooler. You should consider an upgrade (✿´ ꒳ ` )

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I'm a medic. My primary goal is to keep my partners alive.

I do have some support magic I use though outside healing. Barriers, summoning shikigami for help or defense...

I dunno if I can help you, but the idea of a Holodeck sounds interesting!

[majestiq]

Wow even your powers are so Japanese lol. Would be nice to have a medic handy actually, and those barriers and summons you mentioned would be cool to see.

If you really wanna tag along, I don't mind. Beats going to a hospital afterwards.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ah, a compliment only you would give |D

I've been meaning to see how my barriers work in a realistic scenario, so I'd be glad to come along if you'll have me.

[majestiq]

Well that's what "I don't mind" means. ρ(￣ﾍ￣ ﾒ)

I'll be at the Nova City one at 6PM. Some of my guy friends are gonna be there too, so try not to be late.

[liorafae]

I've been...wanting to "step my game up" as well. ...That does mean to become stronger, right?

And...what exactly as a "Holodeck?"

[majestiq]

[ Mariko sends Liora a link to the Holodeck's home page, not feeling up to explaining ]

The place's website would explain it better than I would. And yeah it means what you thought it means.

[liorafae]

[She'll take a moment to look it over.]

Well, I...didn't have any thoughts on what it meant. But it does look interesting.

So...should we meet sometime?

[majestiq]

6PM, in Nova City. The site should have the address and the directions to get there. In the meantime, you mind giving me a run-down on your abilities? I don't wanna have to go in blind in a place we could die in without knowing who I'm working with

[in_a_barrel]

Hey there. My name is Kanonno.
I could use some training myself. My last real fight was with Mister Seek and I need to be at my best given how strong he was.

Which Holodeck will you be at? Because I think there are two of them.

[majestiq]

The better one. In Nova City.

You mind telling me how long was this? I never heard of any "Mister Seek" before

[in_a_barrel]

Okay. If you're there, I'll be on my way.

[Good thing she has some knowledge of the city from chasing Seek.]

This was a few months ago. The drinking water in Nova was tainted with a potion that caused people to split into two, divided by their light and dark selves. Mister Seek was the one who did it.

[majestiq]

Hmm ok.

Mind telling me what your abilities are, if any? I'd like to know what sort of person I'm gonna be working with.

If I wasn't having to stay indoors these days I would have liked to try something like this.

But hey looks like you have plenty of interested parties.

[majestiq]

Indoors? What's keeping you in? (｡´･д･)o

[firefandance]

The illness that has been going around Fayren. So it's safer that I stay indoors while that's going around and I'm dealing with people who have it.

[majestiq]

Oh that. Sorry to hear. I hope things get better for you guys (´๑・⌓・｀)

So that explains why there's some quarantine in place at the gate to Fayren that I just saw. How bad is it?
