UN: VOGEL - dungeon crawling??

[insinning]

[After many attempts to type and retype this message for maximum politeness and ADULT MATURITY. Nailed it] Hi. I think I should introduce myself first, right? I am Vogel. Has anyone not explored any areas yet? I would like to try in a group, because I think my class is too slow to do much on its own.

And I'd like to get rid of this stop sign.

And this creepy helmet skin.

I can't take it off.

Thank you.

[ Oria feels like he understands what Sinclair is trying to get at, but he feels like it won't work. He looks down at the phone for a moment longer before shaking his head. ]

I can't see your interface like you can, like how you can't see mine. But you have Zelkova added already, so that's great! So from your interface...

[ This is where Oria teaches Sinclair how to email Zelkova and making it easy to understand. ]

Now all you gotta do is send an email with a help request, like... "please help me. my helmet is stuck on my head and won't unequip itself".

[insinning]

[Oh.

Hm.

He'll do that now.

Sending the email.

Help: My skin is stuck and I can't take it off."]

Bawk.

[Email sent! And now they...wait?]

[dissimulative]

You did great!

[ Sinclair's first email to the mods. Oria is proud of him. ]

You'll probably get a response from him soon... or maybe he'll even show up here somehow!

[threatmewted]

I hear the wait time isn't too bad since there's only a few players. It's probably worth a shot!

Besides, stumbling on a cursed item right away sounds kind of weird even for an MMO, and especially for a beta test that's already running a party to welcome us in.

[ The response is almost immediate: ]

Hi, VOGEL!

You can't take your skin off? That's a real problem. How long has this been happening?

[insinning]

A day now? I wanted to take it out of my inventory too, but that's when it got really stuck.

[dzelkva]

That's a real problem.

I could detach it from your inventory, if you want me to. You might lose the item if I do that, though.

[insinning]

Please. All I can do is cluck. And I don't think anyone wants this head.

[insinning]

[Ah! It worked! Showing Oria his phone in excitement, even though Oria can't see it]

[dzelkva]

You never know! Someone might want it. :)

[ But give him a few minutes...

The chicken head glitches off of Emil's character before falling onto the ground next to his feet. ]

[insinning]

Thank you!

[He's FREE. Picking up the chicken head now a throwable item because he has manners and doesn't like leaving trash around]

I can't believe it was that easy.

[And hopefully nothing else happens! Hopefully]

[insinning]

You think so? I was beginning to think it was on purpose.

[threatmewted]

I mean, it might be?

But if it was on purpose, they'd definitely be able to tell you that. And if not, then it's a bug that needs to be reported anyway.

[insinning]

That's true. I'm going to report it now.

[horologia]

[ watch rng hand Vogel the desert to melt in instead ]

Given the lack of an enforced party composition, I imagine they must have designed the areas to be clearable whether one has a dedicated healer or not.

[ 'it should be fine, probably.' ]

[insinning]

[ pls no. the raw chicken head will cook too]

Yeah. It's likely we'll just get kicked out of anywhere we shouldn't be in, so whatever happens...happens.

Hey Vogel.

You got a skin for your helmet?
It can't possibly be that bad.

[dissimulative]

[ Body languages tells Oria a lot, so he smiles at him in return.

But then fast forward to after Sinclair gets his chicken head removed... ]

Wow, that was fast. What are you gonna do with that thing?

[threatmewted]

Sounds good!

Let us know if you find anything out.

[insinning]

[ Sometime later with Oria's help ]

Zelkova helped. It came off, finally.

But now it's an item.

[insinning]

It is that bad. Nightmare inducing bad,

[threatmewted]

What's the item name?

[insinning]

[Staring into the headchicken's eyes]

...I don't know. I'd feel bad just leaving it as trash--but don't you think it looks a little pitiful now?

[temperance is low temperance is low]

[dissimulative]

I think it could definitely be used as bait.

[ So, no. He feels no pity for the headchicken. ]

Do you think it will get stuck on you if you try to put it in your inventory?

[insinning]

To draw aggro?

[Actually, that's an idea. Eyeing the headchicken. He feels pity for you buddy, but do not get stuck on his head again]

...let me try.

[Putting it away-oh, there it goes. Goodbye headchicken]
