Current Graduation has happened - I am no longer a teacher. Won't have to work 12 hour days + weekends anymore, so maybe I'll actually have enough time for hobbies.

Teacher update: I feel like a villain from a cartoon. The laughter of teenagers gives me migraines, and I no longer feel guilt when giving bad grades to kids that sleep through my lessons.

Still annoyed that so much money was lost, Tony hands her the small check, hastily written down for the needed amount. Even though Sickle said that Tony would get any money that would be made from this, he knew for a fact that he wouldn't pay for any losses - That's not the way Tony rolled. He wouldn't work for someone and not get paid, no matter who the asshole that orders him around is-

Breathing calmly, Tony realized he really needed some fresh air - as soon as Sickle came back inside, he'd feel safe exiting and breathing a little. The woman got her ticket, and Tony silently prayed that she lost - when people saw that she came with sickle, a lot of people already betted on her. Of course she didn't - apparently, Sickle and his little buddies were the toughest guys around... Tony was really glad that he wasn't real deep in the Wonderland.

The following matches, luckily, filled Tony's pockets slightly - They went by relatively stress-free on Tony's part, and it wasn't until the beginning of the final match that anything occurred - a woman, oddly dressed even for the weirdos that hung out around here, approached him, just as he was about to begin the last match's announcement.

"Lady, I'm kinda busy here, you should have taken a bet before the ma-"

She cut him off, and upon doing so, Tony found himself without the microphone - the next thing that filled him was rage. This slut dared to come up, while Tony was having a god awful night, take his goddamn microphone, and use her power on him. How the hell could she even use her power - Tony had never heard of another person being able to use it while within the field... Still, it was less the fact jealous that she could use her power.

She had embarrassed him, in front of the massive crowd of criminals and scumbags - any sense of respect and power he held over these thugs was lost the second she placed her hand on his cheek. Thoughts quickly rushed thorough his head, and His hand made it's way to the cool metal in his jacket - he stopped himself quickly, however, and made his way from the area. He was about to shoot that woman in the back of the head - this place was god awful. Tony stood right next to the exit, only waiting to see what would happen - understanding that this woman had some sort of mind-manipulation, he prepared to plug his ears the second she opened her mouth. Or, this was what Tony planned to do, until he heard her say the last line.

As soon as heard that, Tony slowly opened the door, and quickly slipped out of the building. He couldn't give less of a shit - Tony wasn't risking his life for a couple bucks, especially after how crap the bets had been so far. Tony began to quickly make his way back home, moving as swiftly as he could without appearing suspicious. Breathing gratefully, Tony felt the lump in his stomach fill as he left the nullification field - He would have felt even better, had he not been fearing for his life.

The dungeon wasn't much different from how it was only a few days ago - other than the fact that a few exits have been closed off. Did someone clear them and they didn't respawn yet or something? Or was the admin "helping" them? Theo didn't have much time to deliberate over this, as many foes quickly appeared in front of them all. Following Reylan's instructions, Theo was thankful he was in the lead of the party - his slow speed didn't hold him back too much as he slashed into wolf 3, and as soon as he finished that, thrust his blade into wolf 2. Wolf 4, on the other hand, was his by a ball of fire coming from the side - presumably Alisea. Not knowing if he could hit the beast reliably, Dirk moved directly in front of wolf 4, prepared to leap in front of it should it try to move around him. Since wolf 2 and 3 were aggroed on him, they shouldn't be a problem... for now.

"Try not to draw too much aggro - I don't want to waste my mana this early in!"

A hearty chuckle escaped his lips, and Theo grew slightly concerned that he didn't even intend to say that - he simply said it on his own, in a near perfect impression of Dirk. Thoughts of his Acting Skill and the Rosary floated in his mind, but he quickly shook it off, focusing on the pain he would feel soon.



Summary:
Moves ahead of the group slightly
Attacks Wolf 2
Attacks Wolf 3
Blocks Wolf 4's path.
Post should be up sometime today or tomorrow.

EDIT: Geez, I'm terrible with my flakiness. Sorry, post should be out on Friday or Saturday - it's about halfway done right now, but I'm pretty fried after today.
Ace was never really the video game type, considering he had only played a few before he was kidnapped. Still, eve if the wanted to play, the offer to play games wasn't directed at him - Ace had learned a long time ago that speaking when you aren't directly spoken to was usually a bad move. Or at least the backhand of several different officers had ingrained that thought on him over the last few years. After the offer was extended, Rachel also began to speak.

Thankfully, the meeting quickly started and ended, with Ace paying little attention. He was not used to that kind of atmosphere in the slightest, so he mostly allowed the others to talk. Still, if he heard anything, it was the credits - Ten million for bodyguards... Following behind Terry, Rachel and Johnathon, a Moonstrike announcement began to play, with the leader appearing... While Ace really didn't care for Moonstrike or the Ascendancy, he didn't enjoy that the woman hid her appearance. After all, a figure head should be someone you rally behind knowing full well who they are, not some mysterious entity. Soon after that announcement was finished, however, the Ascendancy quickly made it's own reply.

While the general was not famous for showing his public face either, he at least did for this message. Hr proceeded to describe the Ascendancy's point of view - and while Ace initially expected the typical propaganda that was spewed while he was under their care, this man actually provided reasonable arguments - he actually acknowledged the corruption within the government that was obvious. Up until the end, Ace actually found himself approving of what the man was saying.

The part about rebellion was what made Ace pause, however. He was horribly mistreated and tortured for nearly half his life, and this was his one chance to actually change and choose to rebel against the people who did that against him - and he felt no incentive to do so. It was a strange, almost alien feeling. He knew that he probably should have been angry, but after the years of brainwashing and abuse, Ace really only cared about finding his father - everything else was secondary. Hell, while most of his allies were motivated by revenge on the tyrannical leadership of the Ascendancy, Ace honestly could not care less. He just wanted his old life back. Soon, the transmission ended, and Ace opened his mouth to comment on the announcement.

He immediately closed it, deciding to wait for the others to respond instead. He knew that getting on their bad side was a bad move, and approving of anything related to the Ascendancy in front of a bunch of other child soldiers was simply begging for him to either be beaten, or to be sold out the second things got bad.

@vancexentan
Pretty much.
@vancexentan
This alright? I'm worried the quirk might be a little OP.


@vancexentan
This still open? If so, I'd like to join!

The inn was in silence for several seconds, and Theo was just beginning to blush horribly. He had ruined his reputation among the people in the inn, and he sure as hell wouldn't be liked by any criminals if that bandit talked to anybody. Hell, Theo may have just made himself look like an edge lord who constantly threatened to kill people. He felt like he couldn't be any more embarrassed, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alisea and Reylan. Not only had he just ruined his 'Nice Guy' reputation among a bunch of NPCs, but now his future guild would realize he could be intimidating.

A few seconds after dread and despair washed over him, a clapping rapidly began to his right - turning revealed that it was the waitress, Julia. After a few seconds, Hans joined in as well, quickly followed by many of the other inn patrons. After only a minute of applause, but what felt like an eternity to an embarrassed Theo, the clapping subsided, and both Hans and Julia rushed up to him.

"That was amazing Theo! You just told him to walk away and he was tripping over himself!"

"You saved my life, adventurer - it's not much, but I'm sure I could scrounge up a reward for you."

Theo blinked several times, mind still racing from the events that had only occurred nearly moments ago. He threatened a human being - well, a human shaped piece of code, but for all purposes... that was a person that he threatened. And he wasn't acting when he said that he would kill them... That's what scared Theo the most. Not letting the shock show on his face, Theo instead waved his hand dismissively.

"Please sir, you don't owe me anything! After all, it's a hero's ideal to protect people, with no intention of getting a reward!"

In reality, Theo would have greatly appreciated a few extra renn, considering his current financial situation, but Dirk would never charge people who were just about to be robbed. That would make him just as bad as the bandit.

Hans was no stranger to unruly customers, but that bandit was extremely close to killing him since the dagger was so close to his throat... Had Theo not been working at the inn, Hans wasn't sure if he would have kept the money he made that day. The fact that Theo was so intimidating was nearly as much of a surprise as to how he wanted no money in exchange for saving his life - most people had to offer decent chunks of Renn and make quests in order to get an adventurer to help them. Still, even if Theo didn't want any reward, he still worked the last 8 hours, so he deserved something.

"Still, you deserve something for your labor today. I'll go grab your wage - you can get changed back into your normal clothes, since you're off the clock."

Theo immediately made his way to the break room, before switching into his leather armor in the menu. The change only took a few seconds, but he felt more comfortable changing equipment in public, away from other people. Upon coming back and receiving his wage, Theo denied a free meal offered to him, instead paying for it with some of his recently gained Renn. Of course, it was the exact same meal he got every single time - The Shepard's pie. To be honest, he mostly bought it since he knew it was good - no point in risking to buy another meal if you're not sure if you'll like it.

Especially if you're saving up your cash and aren't willing to potentially waste it...

Theo made his way towards Alisea and Reylan, unaware of their conversation up to this point - instead, he simply sat down at a nearby table, waiting for his food to arrive - after eating, he planned on either talking, or immediately heading to sleep.
