"Thanks, was a gift from a friend. I've had it for a while now, kept adding more modifications to boost it's effectiveness. Use to boost my aura till I lost it. You got some pretty impressive looking swords as well."
[b][u]Also apologies, I just feel uneasy when there's more then another AI. Nothing against you.[/u][/b]

“Don’t mind Dani, she likes giving people a hard time.” The man said, drawing one of his blades. It was double aged, shiny and glimmering steel. It was a thin blade, but seemed to be incredibly well made. “And ya, it’s slick. Though I prefer not to use it whenever I can.” He told Zane, twirling his blade before sheathing it. “Anyways, care to introduce yourself? You get to go first after all you were the one who came in unannounced!”
-
"I'm Zane Nightingale. Would have came in announced but I was a tad concerned considering the guys I passed on the way here. Can't blame a guy for being cautious."
-
“Ya I can-“ suddenly the man stopped himself, blinking slowly at Zane. “Wait...Wait. Like, Zane? THE ZANE? Slayer of majora, cleanser of twilight, bane of Tywin and all that?”
-
"The one and only. Didn't realize I had so many titles. Where did your get the gear?"

Edited by Inflatablepants: 12/30/2017 1:51:53 AM“Whoa whoa whoa hold on, you’re acting like me meeting you isn’t a big thing or anything!” The man said. “It isn’t.” His suit would say, The A.I known as Dani. “Ugh. Fine, fine. And the gear? I...know a guy, let’s leave it at that.” The figure would then extend his hand to Zane. “Jonathan, Jonathan Baker.” He introduced.
-
[i]He walked up and shook Jonathan's hand, putting away his blade in the process.[/i] "Pleased to meet you. So you said that something here is driving the cultists more insane then usual?"
-
“Ya, that’s what the contractor told me anyways.” Jon told him, releasing Zane’s hand. “Apparently He was from here, one of them started wielding magic that was forbidden and what not. Told me to deal with just him, and leave everyone else alive. I’ve been able to make it only this far before falling into a trap, but otherwise we’re off to a good start!”
-
"Oh, well you're gonna be one guy short. Had to kill one after I woke one up looking for answers."
-
“You...you just...ugh....” Jon then said, putting his fingers to the bridge of his nose and walking away from Zane. “Great. Fantastic. I’m sure he was only the contractors second cousin or something. Or brother. Or father.”
-
"Hey look, I'll explain it to your contractor, even pay for damages. If your pay drops I'll make up the difference. No need to sweat it."
-
The Merc put a hand on his hip, thinking for a moment before turning to Zane. “Hmm. Yea...okay. Sure. But NO KILLING ANYONE ELSE, alright?”
-
"Yeah I gotcha. You know anything about a magic machine that makes pants?"
-
“Uh....isn’t that just a sewing machine?”
-
"Yeah, except this one can make enchanted pants. A salesman said he's lower the price on a pair that could help restore my magic if I brought him this machine."
-
“Oh. Well I haven’t seen it yet, but the contract said nothing about there being any lost possessions. So if you find it it’s all yours.”
-
"Awesome. So how'd you get caught in the trap? This some kind of puzzle room?"
-
“No, he was just oblivious enough to not notice an open rope on the ground an happened to walk right on top of it.” Dani said. “What?! No! It’s totally a puzzle room!”
-
"Well, let's have our AI scan the room and figure this out huh? Try not to step in any more traps yeah? Alfred, Scan the room." [b][u]At once sir.[/u][/b]
-
“The only doors in the room are the ones atop the balcony.” Dani would comment. “There are no other doorways.” As Zane scanned, he would see that the Merc’s A.I was correct.
-
"So, that must be the way Into the next room then. You got a way up?"
-
Jon pointed to the staircase Zane had seen when he entered the room. “We can just use the staircase. But I guess you can use your rocket boots or whatever you got.” He commented as he made his way to the steps.
-
[i]He followed behind Jon, keeping a brisk pace[/i] "Eh, doesn't hurt to walk. So why didn't you keep moving, why stay in this room?"
-
“Uh, The whole getting caught in a net thing didn’t exactly help my situation. Plus I was only actually caught in there for a few minutes before you came in.” Baker explained as the two got to the balcony. “After all, I-“ Suddenly, one of the doors at the end of the balcony opened, and a large cloaked figure stepped out, raising both his hands forward. “You gotta be flipping kidding me-“ The man suddenly unleashed an automatic barrage of ice crystals, shooting as fast as an automatic rifle towards Zane and Jon.
-
[i]Zane raised his ward to cover both him and Jon, the crystals floating harmlessly in the gravity field.[/i] "Let me guess, we can't kill this guy right?"
-
“Nowp!” Baker told Zane as he reached for one of the black pistols on his right hip. He held it to his side, and suddenly one of the magazines on his right leg flew into the gun. He took aim at the figure at the end of the hallway as the barrage of ice continued to fire. “Alright...when I say [i]drop it[/i], drop your shield for a second before putting it back up again, got it?”
