LV 1 Healer LFT!

[feralfanatic]

So, city, a new curse and everything is... unique. Everyone seems to have been granted some sort of role and we are to perform these... quests? It is all like some sort of game. It might almost be fun if I was not cloaked in these accursed robes; I keep tangling myself in them.

[The camera pans to show what exactly she was talking about.]

Is anyone in need of some sort of magic-based healer? I seem to have a much better understanding of the Light as part of this, I think.

It's the most amazing of games! I'm really pleased the coral is letting us have all this fun~ It's too bad you couldn't ask it for a more convenient wardrobe though. Maybe if you do one of it's quests then you can get something new!

It is certainly an interesting experience. I am not sure I like the changes it has made to my body, but I suppose the apparent ability to channel the power of the Light has to make up for it. Being a conduit for such positive energies sort of makes everything seem better.

See! There is always a positive to things somewhere. It's fun to be able to experience something new.

I would still feel more comfortable if I still possessed my normal senses. Everything feels off. But I suppose you are right. It is a new experience and must be taken as it is given to me. Even if that means being weaker and unable to scent or hear if something is approaching.

I admit the physical changes can be a little daunting, but it's only temporary after all. Enjoy something different for a week and maybe it will help you appreciate what you have all the time even more.

I will try to keep an open mind for this, thank you. At least if my altered abilities lead to my getting killed I will be back soon enough in this place.

[It was also a bit of a reminder what she would be like if the whole rebellion had not gone so wrong back on Alternia.]

It isn't like a game; it literally is one.

[He has a similarly styled but less draping outfit of his own. He's also sparkling here and there, not enough to be part of the outfit.]

The roles are different classes we're assigned to, each with their own abilities and powers. If you team up, you can combine your strengths and get things accomplished better instead of wandering around on your own. Obviously, your job is to heal people while keeping back from danger yourself. Unless you level enough--the woman for the cleric quest implied we get offensive abilities down the line.

Speaking of which, those quests will help you advance. The usual kind involves hunting down monsters and beating the shit out of them, but if you go find the quest board in the Plaza, you'll find some more menial ones too that are easier to complete if you're not battle-oriented. That's the reason I look like Gamzee sneezed special stardust on me: I had to go clean glitter out of some douchebag's hive because like all game NPCs, his head was lodged too far up his nook for him to do anything for himself. But it means I advance a little further, and it's something I can do without hunting down a group to keep me from getting turned into paste.

[She listens with a smile, Nobody can Infodump like Karkat.]

I see you got lucky with your own designated 'costume'. I would love to have something like yours, you know, with freedom of movement.

So I heal and support others? I can deal with that, especially now that I feel so weak. This 'class' does not seem to get the muscles I honed from my hunting. I will just have to find some others who are in need of my new abilities... so I can hide behind them. [She laughs.]

I will have to look into these quests then, maybe some of the easier ones to begin. I... did not want to comment on the sparkling, but that explains it. [Another light laugh.]

Thank you, You have been very informative, as per usual.

Lucky? This isn't lucky. This is way too many layers for anyone to wear and a pair of pants no sentient being was meant to try to understand. I have like, weird additional leg sleeves over the pant legs. And knee pads. Why knee pads? I'm not even a fighter.

[Better than a long robe, or worse options he has yet to discover, but that's beside his point.]

Yes, that's the idea. As undignified as hiding behind someone stronger might sound, it will keep you alive longer. You keep your tank alive - the person who takes the damage - and you keep yourself alive by proxy. And the other members of your party, if it's more than the two of you. But don't go healing every little scratch, got it? You only have so much energy to devote to spells, and if you run out, you're screwed until you can rest and recover it. Whiners who demand extra heals anyway can be given a formal invitation to suck it.

But hey, sharing the info is better than letting you stumble around blindly through the week, so it's no big deal.

You are lucky to not snag your limbs every time you try to move. But we can agree that our 'class' apparently get terrible clothing. Who even thought this up? I mean I am weak, I have support magic, and I cannot even run away effectively if things go to pot? I might as well hang a sign on me saying "Monsters eat here!".

I have no shame in hiding behind someone if that is what I am meant to do. I will have to find out what classes the others are, and only heal them when they need it. Maybe not heal certain trolls if they come up to me, hurt. [Dualscar.]

In that way, us healers have a lot of power, actually. I mean without us they will stumble and fall in the harder battles. It is nice to know that you will be important, at least.

[bestestfurrend]

Ohh, I think you look really cute in those robes, Mama!

[feralfanatic]

Well, thank you, Kit. I cannot say I am the most fond of them, but I seem to be stuck with them so I will learn to like them. I have been learning quite a lot about this latest curse. What sort of 'role' did the city give you?

[bestestfurrend]

I'm a rogue! It's the same as I was back in the game I told you we played a while ago.

[feralfanatic]

I see. So you are some sort of trickster or rascal then? I will admit to not really getting that game, even having it explained to me already; Twice.

[bestestfurrend]

I suppaws so! And it's not really impurrtant - not any more, anyway. But I don't mind being a rogue again!

[zipperlips]

[Oh! It's the other universe's version of Meulin!

It's not his former matesprit, but Kurloz is still pretty cheered up to see her. He smiles and waves- he could totally go for doing a quest with her.]

[feralfanatic]

Oh, uhh, Hello. I do not believe we have met before.

[He seems so familiar, somehow. Almost like Gamzee in a way. Then she recalls the conversation with Mituna, and the alternate universe versions of trolls, and the confustion stemming from said conversation.]

Then, Hello, I am known as the Disciple. Who are you?

[zipperlips]

[Kurloz shakes his head. They haven't met, which is a shame. Good thing they fixed that.

Then, he decides to give something a try- he signs out his name, in the communication he and Meulin use between the two of them. It's a long shot that she'll understand it, but he might as well try.]

[feralfanatic]

[She tilts her head a little in confusion at the hand gestures, but most of the pieces click into place all around the same time. The stitches on his mouth, which up until this point she thought ornamental, seem all the more real. The poor thing could not talk. She had read about forms of communication involving various hand signs. Unfortunately, she did not know any of them enough to attempt to translate.]

I apologize, I did not know. I also do not understand your hand-signing. Would you prefer if we talk in text?

Aagh, I didn't mean to lose this tag.

[zipperlips]

[He's not really a poor thing when he did it to himself, not that he'll let that slip. He just shakes his head, and makes a reassuring gesture. No need for her to apologize! He's enigmatic about it for a reason. And he didn't expect her to understand, even if it would have been cool.

He shrugs, and switches to text himself.]

GOT MY FAMILIAR ON FOR YOUR FACE

[savemegermany]

Ve, you can come with me! I've been questing by cleaning and cooking and gardening!~ It's not scary at all~~

[feralfanatic]

Oh, Hello again! That certainly sounds great! I admit It all seems a little confusing to me. It might be good to have help get into the swing of things.

[savemegermany]

Ve, I'm not sure about the swing of things, but we can at least avoid all the critters that want to eat us~

[feralfanatic]

A noble goal, indeed. Why if I can get through this curse without being eaten by anything, I will count it as a rousing success.

[savemegermany]

My bakery's a safe place, especially if you want food or a nap~. We can eat and not be eaten~! There are other places in the plaza that're safe too~
