Would you like some apple pie?
“Would you like some apple pie?” Angela ‘Mercy’ Ziegler offered.
The dialogue went something like this.
“This is delicious, what recipe is it?!” JesusIsKingOfKings exclaimed!
“Ingrid’s apple pie recipe traded it for ‘Valkyrie’s’ air foil ratio. I had to ask her myself.” Her German accent and womanly charms showing. What broke his immersion was JesusIsKingOfKings eating the food in like 2 seconds seemingly.
“Can I date you?” JesusIsKingOfKings wholeheartedly asked. Peter thought it was funny this was a dialogue option.
“No. I have a man in my heart already. You would have liked him; he is a cyborg ninja.” Mercy declined on grounds of salmonella. Who knows how many women JesusIsKingOfKings has dated.
“What blessings do you give me?”
You use your “Caduceus Staff” and “Caduceus Blaster” with the power of science in your first form elite skill. You can fly and resurrect groups of people. Bonus to healing and full health is given during resurrection. Your Caduceus Staff: Caduceus Blaster do the same damage as your weapon would. In your first form you have two bonus skills “Guardian Angel” and “Angelic Descent”.
Peter noticed it was pretty much the same as Jesus’s skills, except for the bonus skills, except for the penalty to damage. ‘Why does this version have bonus skills?’ Peter Le thought.
‘Leave.’ Peter made to end the dialogue short to not keep The Goon waiting for too long. He hoped he could see Jesus and Angela again! On his own time of course.
“Your late.” The Goon found JesusIsKingOfKings first as it was in the outer palace through the party indicators, including the map icons in the top right of their monitors. JesusIsLordOfLords was still running over as she was still in the inner palace, from the looks of Peter’s right monitor.
“My bad, two portions of dialogue one at a time is a time-killer.” Peter indulged in a bit a dialogue too at the same time because it was so interesting! They would have needed time to find each other anyway, what was the big deal? Peter’s “Dividing Mind” was incomplete, he could not read nor listen to two conversations at the same time.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“Your other toon still running over?” Peter felt The Goon would have been cleaning his fingernails if he could.
“Yes, what do you say we do some PVP or fighting some monsters.” Peter was itching for a fight, the battle manic he was.
The Goon pulled out the map this time, opening the full overview in-game navigation on his screen it seems. “I have done research on this game, we can PVP any time if we open the PVP menu and ‘Enter Hell’ we can meet up there instead.”
“Let us do it up. Or down in this case.” Took some navigating but eventually found the PVP menu in the “Menu Bar” at the bottom right of the monitor.
Peter saw The Goon vanish and knew that he had to go.
Peter waited until he navigated to both menus at the same time on both left; right monitors till he pressed the mouse buttons at his feet on the mousepad, accepting to be transferred.
The Jesuses found The Goon at the entrance to the castle.
“Do you want to look around?” The Goon asked, slowly rotating his character 360 degrees, clearly taking in the sights. The castle seemed to be made of dark brick containing the largest courtyard he had ever seen, with demons camping about. They were marked friendly, but facial features wise looked in hostile, slanted eyebrows a common feature on their faces, overall, not kind looking.
“No let's just get into it! Let us get hyped! Action is coming!” The Jesuses were using abilities at The Goon doing no damage.
“Was that a Forsen reference? Oh well let us see, how do we do this… Oh there is three icons at the top middle of your screen. Click ‘Play PVP’.”
On the right screen containing JesusIsKingOfKings as party leader he did as The Goon commanded. But received an error. “It says here one or more-party members have incomplete builds; do you wish to continue?”
“Hold on let us take a minute to do our builds. I did not see that.” The Goon rechecked his inventory, his equipment, his skills, but could not find what he was looking for. “Do you see builds anywhere?”
“It's in the Play PVP tab.” The reason Peter seen it was because he still had the tab open and was editing it in the meanwhile. “Interesting the ‘Amulet’ you take is the role your character will play. For example, ‘Amulet of the Warrior’ has +1200 power, +900 toughness, and +900 precision. While amulet of the Paladin has +1200 toughness, +900 healing, and +900 precision.”
The Goon did not get it right away because of the numbers said. He only recognized it himself when he opened the Play PVP tab, seeing the Builds below the tab for himself. “Oh, I see! We can make our own playstyle like this.”
The Goon and Peter, or should I say the Jesuses had “ordered” PVP weapons, new Amulets, their skills swaped; as their weapon bar had expanded to 5 skills for the weapon bar, and to 5 skills opened. The “Back Bar” opened including another set of 10 skills. ‘It must be because we are in the PVP world that all the settings normally locked are opened up.’ Peter had that thought. Pleased he made this decision.
In Queue for a match.
Once they were ready, they queued for a match.
When they got into a game, a cutscene played out showcasing the map’s areas. “I’ll be your referee, Lucifer Morningstar everybody!” A man in a dark suit; a red handkerchief, white wings flying above the center of the match.
