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.

send him an email!
you can just type it out like how you are in the forums while in the game
if you need some help we can meet up

[insinning]

[!!! Kindness? Here?]

help would be nice. this is pretty overwhelming.

[dissimulative]

meet you by the big water bridge in mac anu!

[ And he will be there as he said he would. He has no idea what the helmet skin looks like though... ]

[insinning]

[Oria might hear some ominous squeaking first.

Squeak squeak squeak go the squeaky boots.

And then this head appears, attached to some worn armor.

The only sign it’s still Sinclair is the stop sign he is wielding and the blond hair]

Bawk bawk BAWK.

[‘Oria. Thank goodness you’re here!!!’]

1/3

[dissimulative]

[ He looks up to hear... chicken noises? ]

Hey, Vogel. You're finally here--

[dissimulative]

[dissimulative]

[ Good thing he recognizes the stop sign and Vogel's hair. ]

Oh my god, you're right. That is creepy.

[ He calms down soon after and pats down on the space next to him. They can sit on the edge of the bridge together, dangling their legs above the river. Nice scenery at least. ]

But we're gonna get it off you. Come on. I'll guide you through it. Do you have Zelkova added on your list?

[insinning]

[Chicken head bobs. And taking the seat next to Oria as directed]

Bakwakwakwakwabawk!

['Here's my phone.'

It occurs to Sinclair that Oria can't understand his clucking at all. So he holds out his phone and the list of contacts]

[dissimulative]

[ 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!

[insinning]

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

[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?

[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]

[dissimulative]

[ He sits there in silence, waiting for any disastrous effects to strike, but since there's nothing, he claps once. ]

Success! Now you got your own get out of jail free card!

[insinning]

[A little pensive, in case he becomes a headhen again but--no, it's fine. Phew.]

I wonder if it'll work on monsters as well as it works on people.

[dissimulative]

I think it would work better on monsters. It looks like raw chicken! They'd love that kind of stuff.

[ He'd prefer something cooked, but to each their own. ]

un: zelkova

[dzelkva]

[ 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.

[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]
