Shapeshifters - Genetics IC. (Now open!)

[berserkerhorn]

"hmm... unless...you...are...tricking...me..." Cassie says and throws the shoe in front of the man

[Icaelus]

Lyl was somewhat unfamiliar with MMOs, but she did at least know how to open the inventory..let's see..it was probably the icon of the bag...right! Got it in one! She gave the male clothing a rather curious glance as she tapped on the female clothing. What could she possibly need male clothing for? The gray female clothing materialized in her hands and she hastily pulled it on, glad to finally have something to wear. Well, that was priority one settled..now to actually find out what she was supposed to do in this game.
"Uh, hey..what is there to do around here? Do we get any starting weapons or stuff besides these clothes?"
She glanced up the at shopkeeper that had given her the clothes, which she was currently feeling infinitely thankful for.

"What the hell!" She says as she flies into the air and falls down,"Ugh..." She takes a moment to get up and decides she needs to run,"Bye now!" She calls gleefully as she sprints away as fast as her two legs would carry her.

Maria gasped and decided to try out her other form, the Red Tailed Berserker, she didn't know if she could continue fighting or if she should take a defensive stance whilst waiting.

Slowly, the tickling feeling of the neko's tongues starts to fade away, and not long after, everything is black. In front of you is a little squared screen with big yellow letters saying 'Victory through being raped'.

Below, you see your experience dealt.

'XP earned: 10%.
Bonus to lust for being raped: +15% to lust experience.
NOTE: If you're in a higher level than 0 in one or more aspects, experience gained in these aspects will be lowered.

Lust level: 0. XP: 25%

Shape experience:
Male shape: 10% XP.

NOTE: Call to arms doesn't boost general experience, but does boost gene collection rate.

Neko genes: 6 points.

Shape unlocked:
Neko level 0.
Takes 1 turn to transform into.
In the beginning, the neko shape doesn't add a lot to the original shape. Except from a slight increase in agility, this shape is still very premature.
This shape can be used at any time.
This shape looks the same as the female shape in every way.
Offensive: 2
Defensive: 1
Special: You're 1.2 times as agile as a normal shape, making you able to do more acrobatic stunts.

Below all that was a button. 'Press to continue'.

“T-Tricking you? Now why would I do that? No, I can follow you down there if you don't trust me. Helping a fellow player who just happens to be new is something I love to do.”

Lyl's PoV:

OOC: Except you have to say 'inventory' to open the inventory – for future reference only;

“No miss. You don't get anything else I'm afraid. You may find some nice players willing to give out some of their garbage weapons, but except from that, nope. However, there are different areas and NPC's that deals out starter quests. You could always take a look at those.”

Jessica's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Only just barely evading her, you don't seem to be able to come completely out of range without your light-bone shape. As you run, you feel a sword cutting your back up with incredible strength. This weapon hurt! The damage above your head raised in value once again...

'Damage: 15.'

Damn! She was strong! Too strong!

“This is the end for you!”

Maria's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

After beginning the transformation, you realized your doubts were without reason. You couldn't move at all. The defensive pose you had taken fell apart, as the yellow letters appear in front of your eyes; 'Canclling “Male shape”. Shapeshifting into “Red tail berserker”. To cancel, say cancel. This will take three turns excluding this one.'

It didn't seem that the harpy wanted to wait for you to transform... Distancing itself further away from you, it fired once again at your now female shape. The damage value above your head increases.

'Damage: 9.'

Damn! It was now or never if you wanted to cancel the shapeshifting and try and change back into your male shape again... However, that was probably a bit too late.

[That_One_Guy]

Maria groaned but decided to take the pain, every damage increased her powers, so she'd be strong if she lasted through this.

[berserkerhorn]

Cassie looks at him "sure...lead...me...there..." she says

Maria's PoV:

Taking blast after blast, it became interesting to see what arose from the smoke...
Smash! First energy blast strikes you.
'Damage: 13.'
The sound of the second energy blast smashing into the ground next to you sounded really threatening... Then the last bolt smashed into your chest.
'Damage: 18.'

Your vision felt blurry, but finally, your fingers began to move. With +3 offensive power, you had now time to spare. The next attack may be vital!
'”Red tail berserker shape” transformation complete'.

Wondering why the harpie didn't go further away, you notice that the trees would've blocked her line of sight had she done so.

Cassie's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“Okay then, follow me!”.
Walking down the tunnels, you start to bump into the occasional player, most of them mining a shoe like you were earlier or the like. Each time he went past such a player, he'd tell them to follow him. Then, at the end of the long tunnel, something that looked like a small undeground village came into sight, the noise of hammers and pickaxes everywhere. “The tunnel to the right is the transport tunnel. You wouldn't have been the first to get killed by one of those trucks. It's lucky for those who did get killed that death doesn't bear any consequence in this game... Except from extreme pain and the fact that it costs you a fight if you die in a fight.”.

[That_One_Guy]

having transformed, Maria smiled and ran at the Harpy, using the trees for cover, when she was close enough, she used her tail to grapple the harpy and slam her into the ground.

[berserkerhorn]

"tell me,where is the tunnel where mining is best?" Cassie asked the man

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

She touches the button

Maria's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Trying to distance herself from you, the harpy jumps backwards away from you as she charges yet another bolt at you. Scratching you, the bolt does little damage.
'Damage: 20. Warning: Likelihood to become immobilized high.'
Then, its your turn. With yet another offensive power making it 9 in total, even though you only scratch her, she still seems to have been hit. No grapple for you though. The number above her head increases.
'Damage: 11.'
The warning made you realize you didn't have a lot of time remaining in this shape if you didn't get her down soon. You were actually feeling kinda blurry.

Cassie's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“For starters, I'd recommend you stay within this mining village. Its safer here. Unlike mostother areas in the main city, you will find a lot of damaging objects here, along with several stronger monsters that you'd rather want to avoid than to charge head-on.”.

Yukari's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

As you touch the button, the vision of the main city comes to vision again. Also, your clothes are back on and you're in your female shape, still feeling somewhat hot after that fight. At the exact same spot you had entered the mist, you had now left the mist. That would probably mean that your friend was going to come out from this part of the mist as well, but was it worth waiting for, or should you go do something else?

[That_One_Guy]

maria groaned, she needed to make a now or never attack. She rushed her and, instead of trying to grabble her, she used the tail as a whip of sorts to tie around her leg to keep her from moving and sling her into a tree.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

She sat down and spaced out waiting for Jessica
"Grumble ramen Grumble present.....Grumble Persona 3"
she looks up and down randomly

[laa]

Maria's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

In your rush, the unthinkable happened. Stumbling upon the root of a tree, you fall and make a barrel-roll. When you look back up, a certain flash is headed straight for your head.

'Damage: 26. Warning: Likelihood to become immobilized high.'

It was getting harder and harder to focus, but regardless, you were still focusing. Come on! 10 offensive power is waiting to be unleashed!

[That_One_Guy]

Maria groaned and knowing that she was going to fall and go unconcious soon, she decided to do what she did before and feign an attack with her tail but instead roundhouse kicks the harpy as hard as she could in the stomach with her 10 offense power.

[berserkerhorn]

"THEn...how...am...i...supposed...to...mine???" CAssie asks

[laa]

Maria's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

One thing you noticed about offensive power, was that it by incredibly low amounts increased you speed. Originally, you had a very hard time keeping up with her. Now, you were almost as fast as her. However, she still got in a yet before you got your hit.

'Damage: 31. Warning: Chance to get knocked out is now active.'

Damn. But with the last extra speed, you could once again at least scratch her. And with 11 offensive power, a scratch would probably be quite lethal... You see the value of damage above her head increase. Finally. You hit her, but only just barely.

'Damage: 20. Warning: Likelihood to become immobilized high.'

Damn. She didn't seem to be going down either. The next turn, she was likely to attack again. The chances of winning were now incredibly low. Regardless, it was still worth a shot...

Cassie's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The man gives you a bewildered stare. “What, don't you have a pickaxe? Anyhow, there is some low-level copper ore around here. Mine it with your pickaxe - if you have any. Now, I should get going. Any more questions before I leave?”.

[berserkerhorn]

"no..." Cassie says and starts looking for someplace to mine

[That_One_Guy]

Maria sighed and made one last ditch attempt, whipping her tail at the Harpy as hard as she could to pin her to the ground whilst dodging any attempts to attack back, she wanted this, she needed this, she wasn't going to go down on her first battle like a noob.
