Current Pirates, monsters, magic, islands and no civilization to steal from. Hmm.

Now, what happens when you have a bunch of monsters that were living in a forest and they get transmigrated into a futuristic urban setting?

I know that few, if any, people on this site would be interested in it... but... I just got an idea for a SAO/GGO/XCOM/UFO crossover... fun tingles...

Life has never given mankind sufficient time... nor sleep... nor comprehension. If it had, we would have stopped trying.

It can be greatly refreshing to return to a thing that one has long loved.

Smart stayed quiet for a little while after Delcastle finished speaking. That little spiel had reminded the old man of conversations long since past. After all, businessmen and lawyers tend to have a lot to do with each other. And that applied whatever field either found themselves in. However, there was one small thing that raised an eyebrow for a second. He spoke again, freeing up a hand but not taking Delcastle's just yet.

"So your guild specializes in keeping the players alive with an eye toward boosting the power players and keeping them intact long enough to finish this game. That I can understand." He said carefully. "Risking your life for friends, family, funds, and final victory, I can understand and admire. Compromising secondary profits for the sake of an extremely valuable prize and doing everything you can to make the most of it by bringing it back with you, I can understand." His gaze tightened a little. "But, you expect me to believe that you found a specialized archer, in a game almost exclusively geared for close combat, who is not only a full guild member but is strong enough to go on a raid? I have a little trouble with that one. Most of the crowd here are just kids and I seriously doubt that some kid could pull off solo hunting with a bow long enough to be worth your attention, too much patience and luck involved for the conditions. I did see one player trying to pull it off a ways south of here. Judging by the gear he had before he died, he didn't make it to level ten. The price for range is usually damage per second in games. I'm sure you can understand why I would have a hard time swallowing that one without a little more explanation."

Then the old man smiled and his hand came up to grip Delcastle's forearm with an iron grip. "Provided you can explain that story with a bit more detail, hold up your end of the deal, and provided my partner here doesn't object too strenuously when he wakes up, then I think we can help each other."

Smart hadn't missed the exchange between the injured player and both Cinera and Delcastle. But, the girl had valid points, however irrelevant to the bigger picture they turned out to be. And, her feelings should be taken into account. The thing was, Smart didn't really care too much about this stranger's feelings. He had a little brat to help and he wasn't going to let her down.

Sorry, everyone. House full of sick people and I'm not doing much better. I'll try to get something up tonight. Unfortunately, I don't have any actual plans for Smart's next move... or Tailpin's for that matter. I guess we'll find out what my diseased mind comes up with.
@Zelosse Smart asked the questions but the answers were for all available ears. It'll be awhile before I can post. Easter weekend is exhausting.
Thanks. Mostly over it ... I think. Same with the family... then again. I didn't know that my father-in-law was puking until... dinner time. He's not that eager to share such details. So, I don't actually know how sick he is.

Anywho... who's up next?
@DestinyStar If you can't get a modern burn treatment cream or aloe, then honey was an ancient alternative. It has been tested and does speed the healing of burns. But, it doesn't speed it up as much as more modern treatments. Either way, take it easy and heal up. Oh, you might want to look into a castor oil compress. Castor oil has the lovely property of helping the body remove scar tissue, both internal and external. Again, not quick but effective.
Been sick, kids sick, not sure whose turn it is... still sick, wife's sick... blah.
I return, though still sick, from the depths of...

(( ... DANGIT! Who threw up this time?! ... He threw up where?! On what! ... ... oh... that's ok then.))

I hope that my sudden interjection of critical lawyer is welcome and not a great distraction.

Also, @LucasSkylight, thank you for your appraisal. Roleplayers who care enough to read from start to present and take the time to truly appreciate what is already there, instead of just skimming over it, are worth their weight in gold. Also, don't try to leave after showing such good character and potential. Cement is cheap and bodies of water are plentiful.

Smart had remained quiet after his dominating defenestration demonstration. He had listened and watched. He had hauled the unconscious poundage of his good friend back inside and planted his bones in a chair before finding one himself, with a little dignity. He couldn't manage much dignity in snake skin tights, but he tried. Watching and listening could teach a lot more than causing a ruckus. Skilled lawyers know how to listen to the details. It's not all about what they say, it's about how they say it.

Having seen Dom behave dazed like he used to when drunk didn't surprise Smart at all. He just walked over again and put the old man on the chair again, bent over the seat sideways on his back with his head and feet touching the floor on either side. He'd cramp up pretty quick when he tried to get up from there. He deserved that much for sucker punching someone when he wasn't up for a fight. His eyes turned to this guild leader who had made such an interestingly worded offer and he spoke up calmly, his words laced with professionalism and experience born of long years gaming and reading people.

"Now that everyone's decided to reject this boy's offer on gut feelings alone, I hope that nobody minds an old man with a few questions." He sat down on his chair again and steepled his fingers under his chin. "Mr. Delcastle, my friend and I aren't members of that little group there but we have a strong and very personal vested interest in the well being of one of their members. So, with that in mind, please indulge me for a few minutes." He motioned to another miraculously intact chair. Actually, it had just been replaced by an npc. He waited a few moments for Delcastle to either sit or reject the offer. It didn't matter much to him either way, just a matter of courtesy.

"I go by Smarter'n'me here but you can call me Smart or something else respectful if you'd like. It's been a long day already for someone my age so I'd appreciate it if you let me ask my few questions and hear me out before answering as I don't want to forget anything important in the conversation shuffle." He took a slow breath before beginning.

"I noticed that you mentioned your group being too low on both strength and numbers. Specifically, I noticed that you mentioned the two issues as separate and distinct. Is it accurate for me to believe, then, that this dungeon is a raid only dungeon with a zone barrier at the entrance to enforce that restriction? If so, what number of members is required for entry?"

"On a related subject, how large is your guild and what percentage of your members will you be committing to this raid that you propose?"

"How do you plan to deal with the possibility of multiple persistent injuries in the raid force and the possibility of a single use restorative item as a reward?"

"How do you plan to deal with the likelihood of monsters in the dungeon being capable of creating persistent injuries? If you enter with two raid members already looking for a restorative and then gain three more like them on the way due to battles, how are you balancing that kind of risk?"

"And, lastly, what are the core philosophy and objective of your guild? What did you create it to accomplish? In short, stranger, guild leader, and bringer of opportunity, who are you people?"
@Zelosse It might be mine, technically. But, I'm feeling like a sack of crap in a snot net. The writers block fell on my foot to boot. It could be a few days before I kick this bug enough to post.
