? entered the town seeing what was once her tiny guild base became a small city.
Outside the gates stood Bonifcaius, Bromy and XxFoxlyxX.
?: What the f#*k have you people been doing while I was away!? Why is there a city at the base now!?
Bromy: That's a great question, it just kind of happened.
Bonifacius: Indeed, we allowed the few NPCs JohnWillStab dragged here to settle down and... well... now this is a city.
XxFoxlyxX: More importantly, where the f#*k have you been!? XxFoxlyxX demanded.
?: Well, here and there. she shrugged.
Lorb: We've been to the festival!
Bonifacius: What a coincidence! So were we!
Bromy: yeah, we even had a food-tasting competition with some NPC.
?: Good to see you guys kept yourselves busy. she replied.
XxFoxlyxX: Also, who is that guy behind you?! XxFoxlyxX demanded.
Lorb: As my name would suggest, I'm Lorb, nice to metcha.
XxFoxlyxX: ...
Lorb: What's up?
XxFoxlyxX: ...The Lorb
Lorb: At this moment in time, the one and only.
Bromy: I didn't expect any of the devs to still be playing in the game! Bromy exclaimed.
Lorb: It's not like that, you see it's more like existing in this world in a constant state of suffering. he explained followed by a thumbs-up emote.
Bonifacius: In any case, we need thy help, Crown, we must defeat JohnWillStab before he does something terrible!
?: Like what? Take over the world, lol?
XxFoxlyxX: ...
Bromy: ...
Bonifacius: ...
?: Jesus f#*k, what did he do?
Bonifacius: So... pray tell... have thou heard the rumours about the mind-controlling player up north?
?: Yeah, I saw something about it in the global chat, why?
Bromy: ...
Bonifacius: ...
XxFoxlyxX: ...
Lorb: ... (idk what's going on but I want to fit in)
?: Don't f#*king tell me JohnWillStab is doing that s#*t!
Bonifacius: It would seem so...
Lorb: He's probably got the Tenecirus sub-class. Lorb announced with a shrug.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Bonifacius: ?
Lorb: Y'know, tentacle evil guy, can mind control and do tentacle stuff, I remember I left the mind-controll ability really OP just to see what would happen since the sub-class was so rare. he laughed.
Bromy: ...
Bonifacius: ...
XxFoxlyxX: ...
?: ...
Lorb: :D
XxFoxlyxX: Evil tentacle... tentacle... OH F#*K IT'S DEFINITELY JOHN!
XxFoxlyxX remembered that time JohnWillStab was talking about tentacles they just made fun of him.
Bonifacius: Does thou know how to defeat such a power?
Lorb: Nope :D
?: Hold on, I could tweak the ability so he can only control 1 character, or even better 0!
Lorb: Good luck doing it without admin privileges!
?: Fine, you do it!
Lorb: Screw that, I don't want to be mind-controlled!
?: You won't, just pretend to be an NPC (which you basically are) and when you get close, set his maximum characters controlled variable to 0!
Lorb: Mmmm.... but I don't wanna ruin my favourite class!
XxFoxlyxX: This is going to take a while, isn't it... I'll go get something to eat...
Lorb: Watch out, frog-people can't eat too much salt! he called out.
XxFoxlyxX: I meant IRL he replied.
Lorb: ...oh, you didn't notice yet?
XxFoxlyxX: ...notice what?
Lorb: ...nothing...
XxFoxlyxX turned to ?.
XxFoxlyxX: What is he on about?!
She shrugged.
Lorb: Sooo, you know the way you can taste stuff in the game?
XxFoxlyxX: Yeah...
Lorb: So you're kind of, maybe, a little bit, slowly morphing to resemble your character IRL.
Bromy: ...
Bonifacius: ...
XxFoxlyxX: ...
?: ...
Lorb: :D
A while of complete silence came upon the group as they realised what Lorb said.
XxFoxlyxX: I'm going to be a frog-person IRl!?
Lorb: Yup.
Bonifacius: AND WHAT ABOUT ME?!
Lorb: You will become a human in the real world too.
Bonifacius: Oh no! Bonifacius grabbed onto his head, worried.
Bromy: You're already human, dumbass!
Bonifacius: Oh, thou art right!
Bromy: So Pedecree will become a wolfman IRL?
Lorb: For a short while before the animus-shift.
Bonifacius: And the fish-people will be fish people too?
Lorb: Correct!
XxFoxlyxX: AND I'M GOING TO BE A FU#*ING ABOMINATION! XxFoxlyxX was still not over it.
Lorb: Yup.
?: And can we just log out and not be freaks of nature?
Lorb: Nope, it's too late, though I suppose it could slow things down.
Bonifacius: Hold on, JohnWillStab is an undead, correct?
Bromy: Yup, he's a corpse.
Bonifacius: So.. shall JohnWillStab become a regular corpse?
Lorb took a second before playing the shrug emote.
Lorb: I dunno.
Bonifacius: We must warn JohnWillStab, perhaps we can figure something out together!
Lorb: I mean, we specifically designed this so you can't avoid the level-2 animus shift. he explained.
XxFoxlyxX: Do you think I could switch my race real quick?
Lorb: Mmmmm, nope.
Bonifacius started pacing around the town gate.
Bonifacius: We must make haste and tell him!
Bromy: How much time do we have
?: And can we just log out and not be freaks of nature?
Lorb: Well, the full shift would take... three weeks? But you'll become your respective races in about... four days? More or less.
Bonifacius: We have no other option! We must get there ASAP and warn him!
Lorb: Can't you just text him?
Bonifacius: He has privated his friend's list! And he has only read the global chat... perhaps 6 times in the past.
XxFoxlyxX: Wait, there has got to be a better way to do this!
XxFoxlyxX turned to ?.
XxFoxlyxX: You still have his IP, right?
?: Foxly, that is illegal and morally wrong.
?: Of course, I do, why?
XxFoxlyxX: Just send him a letter!
?: We have no idea how long the delivery will take.
Bonifacius: Hold up, could we not go pay a visit to JohnWillStab in the real world before he becomes JohnWillNotStabBecauseHesDead?
Bromy: A ROAD TRIP!?
?: Why's he so excited?!
Bonifacius: Bromy really likes road trip...
?: Wait, we can't track down his EXACT house, it's more... like the neighbourhood.
Bonifacius: Tis enough!
Bonifacius: I cannot expect all of you to travel on this journey across the world together, however, fear not! For I shall reach JohnWillStab for us!
Bromy: F#*K THAT, I'M COMING!
?: As much as I don't mind sitting at home before I turn into a froglike-midget, I might as well kick Jonh's ass before I'm an amphibian.
The party turned to XxFoxlyxX.
XxFoxlyxX: Sure, I'll ignore the fact my life is about to get flipped, turned up-side-down!
?: Which leaves us with one question...
XxFoxlyxX: And that is?
?: Who's going to drive us?
Bromy: I mean, I live in the middle of god-knows-where, so I was hoping to catch a plane to your general area.
XxFoxlyxX: I can't drive for another two years here.
?: DUI, can't drive.
Bonifacius: I lost my car...
XxFoxlyxX: Lost?
Bonifacius: Indeed, you see I parked it outside of the wrong house and was too embarrassed to ask for it back, anyway, now I walk to work.
The party fell silent for a while before Bonifacius had a great idea.
Bonifacius: I know!
The whole party looked at him awaiting his idea.
Bonifacius: Hold up!
Bonifacius entered his friends list and selected Pedecree.
