01st Hash Rap

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[Man oh man, it's one thing to be playing a MMO. It's another thing entirely to actually be part of one. Again.

On the other hand, Davesprite has his everything from the waist down back to something more human. That is definitely an improvement. And he gets bonus wings, so now it's like he's some sort of weird angel with orange feathers.]

I had to have died. That's the only fuckin' possibility. I somehow died while playin' that shitty Ghostbusters game and went to steampunk heaven.

[He sighs and shrugs. There's not much he can do about it if that's the case. The best thing he can do is get some information. That there are even people around after a year of only seeing two godly humans is…pitiful, to say the least. He's happy to have a break from salamanders and nakodiles and other sprites and shit.

Wow Davesprite's getting really sidetracked over here. He's just…gonna go walk up to a person.]

Sup. Where do I sign up as God's personal secretary? Obviously, it's my new role in existence if I've got fuckin' angel wings outta my back like a kid who got spliced with goddamn bird genes as a baby.

[ ...... blinking. then-- ]

Well, I can't say I'm hiring at the moment. [ poker face ] I do like the wings, though-- if you'd just leave your resume, contact information and an approximation of your soccer skills on a scale of one to ten, I'm sure I'll get back to you eventually.

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[Yes, he gets that a lot.

Davesprite appreciates him playing along and he is proud of that poker face. 10/10.]

How long's "eventually?"

[resipiscence]

[ he has practice, man. and he always enjoys a good back and forth... ]

God knows. [ ahaha. haha. ha. ] Consider it a test of faith?

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Doesn't that usually mean that bad shit's gonna happen to make sure I'm righteous and whatever?

[He lived in a Bible-thumping state and yet he has never cracked one open. That is pure irony right there.]

[resipiscence]

I'm not sure if I can manage a flood, so... you might have to settle for unemployment. And maybe a giant x on that resume of yours.

[ because unemployment is... the worst punishment, yes. ]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Fan-fuckin'-tastic.

[Okay, officially liking this kid.]

You got a name or should I stick to callin' you God?

[resipiscence]

[ and he actually chuckles here, cracking a smile. you're not too bad yourself. ] While I wouldn't mind, I'd like to think that I'm a little past that by now.

I'd prefer 'Aphrodi'. What about you?

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

I'd prefer "Dave," but most call me Davesprite. Easier to keep track of which Dave you're talkin' about.

[resipiscence]

Oh? Is it a common name?

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Sorta where I'm from, definitely common in the US. [Dead Daves everywhere.] Shenanigans happened and now I have to add a -sprite to my name or I'd just be assumin' you mean me and not Dave.

[resipiscence]

... must have been some interesting shenanigans.

I'll call you 'Dave' for now-- and if I see you around any of those other Daves, I'll add the -sprite. Does that sound fair?

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Definitely.

More than fair, Aphrodi. [Officially his favorite kid.] So, what's up with this place?

[resipiscence]

[ you're not so bad yourself kasjfdlsaj ] This place?

This might sound a bit strange, but-- to put it simply, it's one of those 'we're all trapped in a video game' scenarios.

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Actually...no it doesn't. After gettin' turned part crow? Nothin' surprises me anymore. 'Sides, just came from somethin' kinda like that. What're the rules to this shitty game?

[resipiscence]

Oh, good. So I'm speaking to a veteran. This makes things easier. [ man, you have no idea how many creative ways he's had to come up with in order to convince people what's going on around here. thank you for knowing video games... ]

But to be entirely honest, I don't think anyone knows what all the rules are. What weapon did you get when you showed up?

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[He glances down at his hip, only just now noticing the katana there.]

Looks like a long sword or katana. Why? That determine a person's class?

[resipiscence]

[ ... nice sword. ] It could; though I've heard that people sometimes show up with two classes.

[ a sheepish chuckle-- ] It makes the rest of us look mundane.

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

[He shrugs.]

That probably means you get gimped with stats and shit jugglin' two classes at once. Think I'd be better off with just one class, personally.

[resipiscence]

Well. You certainly know how to make a person feel better. [ no sarcasm here. he honestly does feel better. ]

But mm... judging from the blade-- maybe a Blade Brandier?
