Rainer woke up in his rented bed at the local town inn and it had been one of those weird dreams of before getting stuck in Broken War Online. Not to many of his dreams focused on his life outside of Broken War but they came and went, usually they focus on the battles he has had or the quests he had gone on. While he was Rainer in real life everyone here knew him as Grimnir the Viking Rogue. Getting up out of his bed Grimnir got ready and headed out into the town. So many different races from the NPCs and the event's going on it was like a dream come true for Grimnir it never got old seeing the sights. Grimnir was exploring the Town Square when a notification had popped up going on about a Event that was to praise old heroes and legends and was suppose to be basically a good way for players to interact and earn some quick rewards while celebrating it was a classic MMORPG mechanic and it was one that Grimnir was greatly appreciated it since he didn't have any friends and wanted to begin his adventure and own legend. Grimnir walked around taking in the sights and decided to see how the free food samples that were being passed around tasted and loved the crunch of the local treats. "Now I just need to make some friends and this will be perfect."
Recap: Grimnir got food want waited around for people to show up.

The contrast between the Festival of the Moon and this... "Boss Bash" was almost sickening. How much of that was because of the circumstances? Regardless, he was opposed to this on a certain principle that stood at odds with his upbringing. The correct answer was to be humble, to remind the so-called heroes that they, too, were mortal. Vainglory would be their downfall in this awful world, after all, especially when complacence began to happen. Speaking of prideful, there was Rex just eating away at a near-literal mountain of food. What a surprise that was. That man could devour a third world country's worth of edible food. Not too hard to believe, considering his personality. Raynauld took the seat opposite him without asking - oh, this felt familiar - and stared at him. "So." He looked at the pile of food, and then back to Rex, "Did you switch personalities with Drakka or Akeno when I wasn't looking? I wonder how Papilion would handle that knowledge." Summary: Ray gives kingrex shit as he usually does for these things.

"Well some players are starting to come out of the woodwork." Grimnir muttered to himself as he watched more and more people start to show up the the Event. Honestly seeing so many people just show up usually in pretty much groups kind of annoyed him. He wasn't someone that had many people to just hang out with typically he joined a group did what was needed and then went about his way. Grimnir had to been close enough to what he assumed were two friends one just giving the other crud that no stranger just says to someone out of the blue unless you were looking for a fight.
Not taking a chance of getting tangled into some pointless fight Grimnir decided to take a few steps away but not to far away from the "friends" just in cause there was a fight and he could hopefully have prime seats for the entertainment. "Good food, great sights, and hopefully some kind of brawl or some shit talking." Grimnir was feeling a bit better at that prospect.
Recap: Grimnir is eating food and listening Kingrex and Raynauld talk shit to each other kind of enjoying the time.

"I think I'm gonna be sick."
The sickly sweet smell of roasted flesh and animal products filled the whole town as fireworks and the festival goers continued on. Mistress was not happy one bit with how this event made her feel. While she is usually fine with someone getting meat and her just vegetables, it was really surprising how much of it was in the air, and it made her sick to her stomach. She walked around, trying to see if there was anyone selling anything vegan, since it was very unlikely for her to find something paleo along with it. Everything was cooked and fried and prepared in such a way that would literally destroy her insides.
She happened upon one food booth with many men sitting around, eating and enjoying their plates of murderous carnage. She could barely stand the sight of it, but politely asked the vendor about their vegan options.
"Do y'all have roasted corn without butter? I can't do meat 'n dairy so I figure if y'all could just maybe do sum'in special for lil ol' me I'd be most appreciative~"
She tried to asked politely and albiet a little sexually, but she still wasn't feeling good. The guy gave her a weird look and tossed her a raw stalk, shrugged his shoulders and continued cooking. Given everything on that grill was cooked with meat or some form of butter, that was the safest option. She took a seat next to a green haired boy and a ravenous man, but said nothing to them. It wasn't like her to do that, but she really just wanted to enjoy her corn in peace. With a slightly exaggerated seating position where her lumbar is hyperextended, she shucked the corn effortlessly and starting to nibble on it, trying to make it last. She grew up on a farm, so she knew all the tips and tricks on vegetable growing and preparation, so it was no surprise to anyone that she can at least figure out how to feed herself.
sat next to kingrex and raynauld, ignoring them so she can eat to settle her stomach. 1/3

 | Carlo looked like a defensive dog when raynauld sat down, giving the man a cold stare of his sharp blues before he slowly stopped chewing through his food and nodded to some kind of eternal conversation he was having. He'd lick his teeth clean before sitting up a little straighter and trading his glare for a flat expression of annoyance, “.And who's take'n my place...You? Been a real dick lately.” Rex fought back before wiping at his mouth with the back of his hand. “You and Akeno kiss and make up yet? She was real worried you hated her now...Not like I'd blame you.” He added before giving grimnir a look that just begged that creeper to step into a conversation he wasn't part of. Not to mention the fucker was already pissing him off treating his conversation with Ray like some kind of spectacle, he'd get a mean sounding scoff before being entirely ignored. It didn't help that some broad with a stick of corn dropped in on their table like she owned it. Who the fuck was Mistress anyways? The soldier tilted another look towards Ray and then back to the corn eating fiend, “This another girlfriend of yours?” He toyed, grabbing up a charred piece of meat from his pile of food and chewing it down without manners. RECAP: Rex gave an ugly look to Grimnir after giving Ray some shit back, and guessed that Mistress was a friend of Ray's. |

To his added benefit and viewing pleasure Grimnir watched some Mistress girl just walk up with some corn and sit down with the two guys like it was the most natural thing to do and seeing kingrex get upset about it cracked him up it wasn’t often that he got to watch an almost tv show style event happen before his eyes. Not even with kingrex mean mugging him after noticing that he had been enjoying himself with their conversation could dispel the merriment that Grimnir was expressing now. “Hey now, don’t get upset that you are having relationship problems and everyone else in the public Town Square can see and witness it in all its glory.” Grimnir said out loud waving his arm around to point out all the other people watching the spectacle going on. Maybe he would stick around for a bit longer, after grabbing some more food to snack on Grimnir went back to his new favorite spot and just waited to see what else would happen. Recap: Grimnir wasn't phased by kingrex mean mugging him and continued to enjoy the food and small entertainment he was getting from being around the group.

Oh, so Raynauld was the one being rude in the guild? Hilarious. "I don't want to hear that from a man whose predominant form of communication is expletives and name-calling." Raynauld put on his best holier-than-thou airs, "Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself. Amen." He added the last bit in a deliberate attempt to be annoying, but once the conversation shifted to Akeno Raynauld's expression went back to neutral. "Ugh. Once she understands what she did I might feel so inclined." Not that Raynauld had told anyone why her attitude was bothering him, or that it was even something she did in the first place. The struggle of people being unable to understand the burden he carried. "And don't even joke about kissing her... Ugh. I'd sooner set myself alight." And then Mistress arrived; mercifully, she'd either not noticed him or ignored him entirely. That was fine by him, since he didn't want to deal- But then Rex opened his mouth and Raynauld's expression twisted. The following message was bad enough that it was sent in a private chat. to kingrex : First off, if you imply polyamory again I will personally drag you to a church until you have been absolved of literally every one of your sins. Second, what the actual hell is WRONG with you!?Summary: Raynauld shoots the shit with Rex, regards Mistress and promptly loses his shit when Rex draws her attention.

Well, if anything, she would have fun right? Sparky found herself in the area when everything went up. For one second, the street had been quiet, and then everything had opened at once, and suddenly people everywhere. There was this celebration of people beating bosses or something. Honestly, she had no idea because she never kept track of shit like that. She just did her own thing, but by this point, she knew she'd have to care about it. Because beating up random mobs to level wasn't cutting it anymore, she'd have to do quests, dungeons, bounties and raids. And that meant having to actually go out and be friendly and deal with people, which wasn't too bad, but still. A lot of them were not fun ok, and what if she met her brother? So it turned out she wandered around, trying to find something to do. How many hours, she doesn't know, but she finds herself not hungry for anything. And that's despite all of the food stalls around her. So eventually, she found herself somewhere. And said somewhere was where a group of players were. And if she didn't know better - by targeting them and seeing their clan (or was it guild) tags - she'd say that at least two of them were mortal enemies. Or just rivals. Whatever it was, the air was full of tension, and that just made Sparky want to be the spark that blew it all up. She knew she had picked her username for a good reason dammit. ''So, who do I punch first?'' she said. Walking towards them, she had thrown her question at them, her eyes sparkling. She could almost hear the cries of 'fistfight, fistfight!' and honestly? She wanted one. If they weren't going to start it, well, then she would! Then again, it might just blow up in her face like it often did, even as she let a smirk settle over her lips. Cocky, and she knew it. Embraced it, even as she tilted her head to the side a bit, observing the pair. Of course, there was a girl and another boy, but she was kinda wanting to punch the boys because boys were fucking idiots and deserved to be punched. Maybe after she could go find something to help the girl, she did kinda look green there. 1/3 :: grimnir kingrex raynauld MistressMADE BY ★MEULK

"How barbaric."
Over by the food stand, there seemed to be people starting to gather around and watching two little boys bicker and one girl who wanted to stir the pot. Strolling past, she had no interest in engaging in such unfestive behavior. Yeongmae was interested in buying a few new clothes, perhaps to just dress up for the festivities. She didn't want to seem super into it, but at least it gave her some peace of mind. In fact, being around people seemed to calm the spirits that talk to her, so being in crowded places like this actually gave her some peace. Although she didn't have much money to spend, perhaps she could find some small trinket or accessory that could bring a small change to her appearance? She looked at a multitude of clothing vendors, past the food area, and saw a small hair pin with a purple explosion of fireworks. It was cheap, and perhaps it was time for a little up do for her hair.
"How much for this, miss?"
"Depends, how much you got?"
After a few minutes of bargaining, she ended up with the pin for a very low cost. With some help from her 'channeling' of spirits, she was able to talk to the NPC's 'dead brother' and from there, a few tears were shed and bam, a new pin for Yeongmae. A little lie couldn't hurt an NPC, and even if she was strong enough to contact a specific spirit, doing so might be at more of a cost than just a hairpin.
1/3 Saw raynauld kingrex and SPARKY, but ignored them as she went to get a hairpin in a clothing vendor section

| The soldier grinned sharp teeth while he chewed on his stick of meat, there was always something so fun about watching raynauld get upset. But in all honesty, there was few people he trusted when it came to having his back in a fight than the crusader. “Fuck-fuck-fuck!” Carlo blabbered back in a taunt to the man's gripe against his foul language. He'd move to put his meat down towards his pile of greasy goodies, giving Ray a flat look, “She's fucking crazy man! She ain't gunna realize something like that...you just gotta be blunt with her...” He argued, “You say that, but she wouldn't be so bad if she could get her mind straight...” To think he was defending akeno was..., mind boggling! Ray went silent then and sent over some sort of private message, one that Rex flicked a look onto while he ate reading it rather slowly, “Poly...yams orgies?...what the fuck are you trying to say?” Rex muttered back towards the crusader, giving him a disgusted look. It seemed he was set on giving this poor guy as much hell as possible. For whatever reason, Rex was drawing an intense amount of unwanted attention for having a conversation with his guildmate in a very crowded place. Sure him and Ray had been talking a little shit to one another, but never had they even come close to standing up with an intent to swing fists at each other. So SPARKY's approach and questioning of who she should punch first was met with a painfully annoyed look from the commando, “...Fuck off bitch!” Rex snarled out after a swallow of meat, giving Ray a confused glance. He wouldn't mind getting in a fight with a snobby cunt like this in the end though, considering girls were nosy idiots who should mind their own business. But he didn't want to get kicked out of the town square either, not before he had a chance to get drunk on cheap beer. So he stood himself up and snatched up his pile of meaty snacks, giving another look to Ray, “I'm out man, before these shit-eaters ruin my food buzz. I'll catch yeah later.” And with that the soldier stalked from the table and back into the crowd... RECAP: Pew-pews the shit with Ray, thinks Sparks is a bitch, and peaces out into the crowd before everyone ruins his one way ticket to digital heart disease. |

Friction between the floor and speed demon's heel echoed across the brick structures that patterned the area. It was a short burst of noise when matched against the colorful fireworks that blanketed the sky's moon. Somehow the fastest man alive was always late, especially when it came to the festivities. Redline didn't define fighting monsters but their difficulty, but they did always bring the thought of hunger to mind, even if it was artificial. This thought process was further defined by the different players scattered across benches and other locations eating away at their meals. Keeping a normal pace was completely out of pace for the red-haired attacker. Integration into the game's world was a scary concept, but getting around so quickly wasn't something he wasn't ready to give up quite yet. He zoomed over to a nearby empty stall, dropped whatever coin he had left and took off with a piece of meat on a stick. Using his rocket-boosted speed, the hero finished his distance on a table not so far from the others. From there, his teeth started the grind on the thin skin of the dark-colored meat. Summary: Showed up, saw kingrex , @grimner and Mistress eating. Bought a piece of meat on a stick and got a table near them to chow away.

"what got him all up in a tangled swamp nest?"
Mistress continued to eat her corn, almost unbothered by the people gathering around her and the males that sat near her. She looked around and saw that many people were actually starting to gather, especially since that new girl came by and started to instigate things. No matter, Mistress just nibbled along, almost halfway done with the cob. It was sweet, and somewhat satisfying, at it was helping calm her meat nausea. She was used to everyone eating meat near her so it didn't bother her, but her paleovegan diet was less of a snobbish choice but rather due to her inability to stomach anything besides plant matter. Even in a game where nothing was real per say, she still couldn't break that habit.
"Maybe if he went to one of my daddy's sermons at church, he wouldn't be such a negative Nancy."
At this point, Mistress was now with Raynauld and Sparky, and tried to direct conversation at them to help die the crowd down, even though she did like the attention. She just wasn't feeling to best to her stomach was all.
2/3 Commented on kingrex's exit, tries to talk to raynauld and SPARKY

A lot of buzz happened all at once around them; somehow, he and Rex were generating a large amount of enmity simply chatting this time, as opposed to the last festival they were at. Speaking of Rex... if you'd asked him who was the most likely to fail understanding words that were over seven letters, he would have guessed Akeno. He certainly would not have gone with Rex. Regardless, the soldier left once the crowd got too big to handle. That left him with Mistress, a punk rock woman attempting to instigate a fight the likes of which would consume this table, the odd stalker man, and some red-haired kid. ... Man, the more you thought about it, the weirder the people who played this game were. "Oh, the same thing as usual," When Mistress spoke, Raynauld just shrugged, "That's how Rex is. Everyone is always annoying him... Ehehehe." Raynauld made an attempt to imagine Rex going to any church, being a pious little altar boy... "Oh, God, that would be hilarious. Him passing around a little tithe plate, communion wafers... Hah!" Raynauld sent off a message to the other Devils shortly after, as well, to alert them to this. To drakka , akeno , papilion : Hey, quick: Imagine Rex as a church-going altar boy. I just did and it's hilarious!Summary: Raynauld lets kingrex leave, left with SPARKY , Mistress , and redline . When Mistress says he should go to church, Ray gets a kick out of it and tells the rest of his guild about it, because that shit's funny.
