[hider=Outside the Game]

Jaiden had made it home in the afternoon, and absolutely grumbling too himself. He was drenched head to toe and his clothes felt ten pounds heavier on him. Especially as he had to drag in a bunch of different large boxes into the house, and down to his room. As the door opened there would be a faint chime of the security system:
[quote]"Front door open."[/quote]

Only to wave off his dad down the hall, who had peeked in just to make sure there wasn't an intruder.
Every time the security system let out that notification, there was a sense of tenseness to the house.
The exception being if there was a prior text beforehand.

There was a severe thunderstorm going on outside, and once the door was closed it'd just barely drown out the noise.
Moving the boxes to his room, and closing another door completely deafened it. 

The boxes were new virtual reality gear for playing onlie MMO's, specifically T.O.E. on this one. 
There had been rumors, about some Jester going around PKing some high level players. It seemed a bit out of his own concern. He hadn't realized when joining T.O.E. that it had open PVP, or at least dungeons were an open PVP areas perhaps. He had always assumed it to be mainly PVE, with PVP challenge menus or some such. 
Still, the new VR gear should supposedly give him an 'edge', or an increasingly realistic feel which may be fun for roleplaying later.
It was also considered the 'default' for new age MMOs like T.O.E., even though Jaiden made his controllers compatible with the software, it wasn't supposed to be 'ideal', especially from an immersion standpoint.

He'd slap on his headset and a pair of hand controllers. 
Opened up his chat overlay for app called 'Xhaos', and turned on a voice modulator before logging into T.O.E.
He'd end up sick later, since he was still drenched in rain water but at least all of his stuff has long sense been waterproofed!

Goibniu would 'wake up' [s]log on[/s] in his normal spot, near the Smithy of Shebar. It probably wasn't the only spot, but it was the main-hub in the artisan district of the city. Just around the corner would be a leather-worker's shop, or down the road a wood-carver, or even a tailor. It made it easier for crafting players to know where everything is, centralizing getting materials, or making things too.
Unfortunately, materials from NPC vendors were highly expensive in comparison to their actual values. A design to motivate others to go off venturing into the world.

Goibniu, didn't have any request projects today.
[s]There was an in-game list to keep track of those[/s]. 
He also ran out of material, and didn't want to go off begging for more. 
Not to mention, he was less likely to get high end materials that way. That left one, 'ideal' option: Adventuring. 

Jaiden, had briefly flicked open the 'party search' menu.
But, thought it may break the 'roleplay' experience, which was part of the experimental fun. 
He ended up closing it, and had his character Goibniu head toward the [u]Adventurer's guild[/u]. He would of course end up passing by other player guild halls along the way, especially the [u]main guild halls[/u]. 

[color=ffa800][b]"Looking for a healer, and preferably a tank! Looking to dungeon delve!"[/b][/color]
He did end up breaking character a bit anyways, by calling out along the way.
Sounding more like a tired salesman shouting out a pitch. He'd also 'post' the message in the general chat of the area, so anyone could see and respond too it, versus just replying to the sound of his voice. The proximity sound function may limit people hearing him after all. 

He'd make his way to the Adventurer's guild, looking for quests related to dungeon exploration.
As a technically [i]'F'[/i] rank adventurer. He may have slim pickings if he was the leader of the party, but if someone else actually took up his offer... then maybe they could take on a higher level dungeon. As dungeon's, at least in most games were based on the average level of the party. 

Goibniu was supposed to be desperate, so he'd party with just about anyone.
Trusting them, might be another thing in theory.
