Shapeshifters - Genetics IC. (Now open!)

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire pants. She quickly thinks up a strategy. She tries to kick the Neko and then punch her. If those moves succeed Claire uppercuts the Neko.

[daxtinator396]

She falls forward as the blade impacts into her back,"Owww!" She starts to change into her lightbone shape hoping she can make the change fast enough to escape,"Shapeshift Lightbone!" She calls loudly.

[PenName15]

Julianne glances towards Lyl, not knowing how to communicate. A thought suddenly comes up at her mind - She MUST change her attitude to prevent people knowing who she is in the reality '' Inventory. '' Julianne slowly muttered, her voice seeming to differ from her normal one, her normal was quiet, warm yet at the same time somewhat cold - But the one she was using was, somewhere around the lines of; cruel,cold, yet has a slight tint of being warm. As soon as her inventory would pop up, she would quickly take out the female clothing....

Knowing that the male clothing must be the one used whenever one transform into the form of a man - She knew this because she listened well and carefully at the tutorial, no one wants to miss the important details...Or did SOMEONE didn't pay attention? Nevertheless, hearing Lyl ask the clothing giver about weapons and quest. She was intrigued, closing her eyes and thinking for a bit before starting to speak. '' Do you know where we can get quests?...And will the rewards be useful? ''

Cassie's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

After searching for a good long while, you finally find a copper ore that you can mine. You took a deep breath, preparing yourself for the work ahead of you. Then, you slammed the pickaxe into the ore. Hit after hit after hit, nothing happened. You realized that this was a lot harder than it seemed to be from the outside. After hacking away for a while, you finally got one copper ore!

'Inventory update! 1 copper ore added to your inventory.'
About 3 seconds later, a tooltip appears: “Copper ores and other types of ore can be used to create basic weapon and armor. Together with crafting tokens, you can create even better and much more advanced items. In order to make these items, you have to level up your smithy skill.'

Then, a yellow text appears in front of you.

'Smithy skill level 0 attained.'

Do you continue mining?

Maria's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You rushed with all your might straight towards your enemy, but to no avail. Even though you tried dodging her energy blast, it showed to be too difficult to do so. Upon hit, everything seemed blurry.

'Damage: 37.'
Now, another number had appeared over you in red...
'Immobilized for: 2 turns.'

Without mercy, she fired again and again.
'Damage: 39.'
'Damage: 43.'
Then, everything faded to black. The only thing you could see in front of you were the letters 'Loss through knockout'.

Then appeared a bunch of data below that very yellow text. It seemed the battle was over.

'XP earned: 5%.
NOTE: If you're in a higher level than 0 in one or more aspects, experience gained in these aspects will be lowered.

Level: 0 XP: 5%
Lust level: 0. XP: 5%

Shape experience:
Male shape: 5% XP.
Female shape: 5% XP.

Genes collected:
None.

PvE rank experience: 0.5%.'

Below all that was a button. 'Press to continue'. Pressing the button, your vision showed the city again, you standing at the edge of the mist. Damn. Damn!

To your delight, the damage weren't there, so it seemed that everyone automatically healed after every fight they had been in. And, it seemed you exited the mist the same way you came in, so that would mean that the female that had taken the same quest as you (Claire) was going to come out in about the same area as you were currently standing. Was it worth to wait or should you move on?

Claire's PoV

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

With a strong kick, the neko fall backwards and the number above its head increases.

'Damage: 13.'

Though that didn't stop the neko from attacking you! Rushing towards you, it uses its long nails to scratch your torso. The number above your head increases.

'Damage: 9.'

Jessica's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Yellow text appears in front of your eyes, and you feel the inability to move once more.
'Cancelling “male shape”. Initiating shapeshift into “Light Bone”. This will take 1 turn excluding the current turn.'
Now, while in your female shape, it was a matter of your enemies strength that would decide it you got to survive or not...

First attack didn't make an overly precise strike because of your sudden immobility.
'Damage: 20. Warning: Likelihood to become immobilized high.'
Your vision felt blurry, but you were still standing. Then, she cut open your gut. The pain!
'Damage: 29.'
Just as you changed into your light-bone shape, you can feel your body have simply stopped moving. Damn! Red text appeared above your head...
'Immobilized for: 1 turn. Light bone shape cancelled.'
Fuck!
Suddenly, a vicious grin spread on her face. With the sword in both her hands, she let out a maniacal laughter. “I'll kill you!”

With all her might, her sword pierces right through your heart.
'Damage: 40.'
Suddenly, everything became blurry and your vision slowly faded away. The only thing you could see were the following words: 'Loss through knockout'. Damn!

'XP earned: 5%.
NOTE: If you're in a higher level than 0 in one or more aspects, experience gained in these aspects will be lowered.

Level: 0 XP: 5%
Lust level: 0. XP: 5%

Shape experience:
Male shape: 5% XP.
Female shape: 5% XP.

Genes collected:
None.

PvE rank experience: 0.5%.'

Below all that was a button. 'Press to continue'. After pressing the button, the vision of the city re-appeared, and in front of you was Yukari. It seemed she had been waiting for you to get out. That was quite nice of her!

Yukari's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

After waiting for what felt like 5 minutes, Jessica finally came out of the mist. She didn't look incredibly happy though. Wonder what had happened?

Julianne and Lyl:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“Yeah, there is a military barrack nearby. They give you some useful starter quest. They work a bit like an extension of the tutorial in many ways. The rewards aren't amazing to begin with, but they grow more valuable as you progress through them, and will unlock many more quest-givers in the area.”.

[berserkerhorn]

"Great... 3.... more...ores...to...go..." Cassie says and continues searching for ore.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire clutches her torso. She decides to be a little dramatic. She twirls around and attempts to punch the Neko in the face. If this works she uses her opposite hand to punch the Neko again.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

She tackled Jessica
"oooooohhhhhh? What happened"
She shook her "what is it! Teeeeeeelllll meeeeee"

[daxtinator396]

She sighed," I got my butt kicked how did you do?" She said smiling abit glad she had waited for her and opened up her menu and quickly friended her and requested her to join a team,"So we don`t get seperated again." She said giggling.

[That_One_Guy]

Maria sighed and went right back into the mist, not wanting to wait, though she was happy she got SOME experience from it.

[laa]

Cassie's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

As you go on mining, you find yet another ore. With incredible power, you smash through it in no time, only to see that no ore had dropped. Damnit. Hurrying over to the next ore, you slam your pickaxe into it, and not long after, you finally find another piece of copper ore. A strange number kept increasing every time you mined in one of these ores. Now, it had reached '3'. All you knew, were that you were exhausted beyond belief.

'Inventory update! 1 copper ore added to your inventory.'

A fellow miner sees you while in your miserable state and laughs at you. “You should have taken some water with you mate. You only get as many tries as you have in your offensive value before having to refresh. You know what? Just to save you the trouble, I'll give you some of my water. It should keep you going for a little while longer.”

'Inventory update! 1 water bottle added to your inventory.
Did you know: Water bottle negates minor exhaustion and can let you continue doing tedious work for longer periods of time. You can also negate exhaustion over time by doing other activities or simply by waiting. Exhaustion can only be felt when you try to do something that exhausts you, which mean you can still enter the mist with full exhaustion.'

Claire's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Even though the neko was loosing, it didn't seem to be very sad about it. In fact, it was smiling the entire time for some strange reason.
Lunging towards you, the neko only barely scratches your right arm before getting kicked away and into the ground.

The number above your head increased.
'Damage: 10.'

And so did the number above the nekos head.
'Damage: 16.'
And then, as it hit the ground, the number increased again.
'Damage: 17.'

However, this neko wasn't done yet!

Yukari's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Suddenly, in front of you, you see a friend request and a team request, both with 'yes' and 'no' buttons attached to the same small square holographic window.

Maria's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

As you enter the mist, everything fades to black. Yellow text appears in front of you.
'Initiating adventure. Amount of players: 1. Player skill scanned. Enemy: ID:2; One lust neko.
Environment: Jungle.
Loading... Loading... Loading...'

A massive amount of yellow text appears in front of you.
'Did you know: Neko's racial ability is to call other neko's in the area to come closer, in case they find 'prey'. Being of a very lustful race, the neko's like to share downed prey with other neko's. Due to their instincts, they can only use this ability named “call to arms” when they are lust-filled.
Neko's that have arrived through this ability does not increase experience gain. However, it does increase genetic points gain.
Did you know: The neko you're facing is special. Unlike the other sub-breeds of nekos, this one is naturally perverted and lustful at all times and have an increased chance of calling help from other nearby lust nekos. This makes it almost impossible to loose, but it also makes it almost impossible not to get overly dominated. Also, they are able to increase their enemies lust without grappling them. Many elite players tend to seek out these nekos as a form of stress relief due to their overly perverted nature. They are one of the only creatures that have this perverted nature.'


A jungle becomes visible in front of you. The area is illuminated by the occasional beam of light from the sun that penetrates the many bamboo plants and palm trees that surrounds you. In front of you, a female neko is glaring at you with wide eyes, her tail subconsciously rubbing her own nether regions.

Appearance: http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/200176

Already breathing heavily in excitement, the lust neko charges you like a wild beast.

[Icaelus]

"A military barracks? Well..yeah, thanks."
Lyl smiled, nodding her thanks at the man as she turned on her heel and walked out of the shop. A military barracks, hm? Well..that did sound pretty much equipped with spare weapons. Weapons that yours truly could really use right now. But yeah..where was it? Her eyes glanced at a very conveniently placed sign just beside the tailor shop. MILITARY BARRACKS : GO STRAIGHT
"Convenient."
She grinned to herself as she started walking to the barracks. This game seemed interesting already!

(Dammit, missed the update.)

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire rubs her arm. She notices that the Neko is on the ground. She attempts to jump on the Neko.

[laa]

Lyl's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Inside the barrack sat a female, minding her own business and doing some paperwork. Then, she notices you. “Hello, miss. Can I interest you in a quest?”. She pulled out some paperwork from the top drawer of her office desk. “Right now, we're sending out masses of people to get the item: Neko's scent. To obtain said item, you must: Fight a Neko and win by domination. After winning, pick up the quest loot.

The reward will be: 2 coins and +1% towards the next PvE title for notitlers.

Do you accept this quest?”

Claire's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Filled with energy, the neko suddenly bounces back up from the ground and charges you head-to-stomach.
'Damage: 16.'
That was probably one of the most painful of the neko's attacks so far. But even though you felt like you had lost your breath, you could still attack. With the energy remaining regardless of the neko's attack, you force yourself on top of the neko. The damage dealt this turn was sadly minimal.

'Damage: 20.'

'Immobilized for 1 turn.'
A tooltip then appeared in front of you.

Then, a string of text like no other appeared over the neko's head in red.
'Did you know: Once an enemy is immobilized, you may grapple said enemy and begin to raise their lust through sexual actions of your choice. Raising an enemies lust lowers the damage they've taken, however, it is highly necessary to win most matches to do so. In PvE, raising the enemies lust also raises the chance for them to want to rape you by the end of the combat if they win. You can also continue to attack to further weaken the enemy; However, be warned that you can kill enemies in PvE. While this gives increased loot, it decreases exp gain and skill/shape gain. You may only win in one manner, so choose wisely!'

So the choice lied between further weakning your enemy or grappling your enemy. Interesting...

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire thinks for a few moments. She then puts the Neko in a head lock. She then uses her legs to rub on the Neko's crotch, while keeping a firm grip around her head.

[Icaelus]

"Neko..Neko..Ah, a cat? You want me to fight..a cat?"
Lyl raised her eyebrows inquiringly. Seriously, a cat? Wouldn't be too much of a fight..and how could she harm such a poor defenseless animal like that? The woman probably rolled her eyes at Lyl's ignorance, but Lyl didn't catch that.
"Oh, right. The guy at the tailor shop said that you would have a starting weapon I could use..?"
Lyl said hopefully. Please let it be a gun. Or slingshot, even! She didn't like CQC fighting too much..

[laa]

Claire's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Quickly throwing herself under the neko, you managed to put your arm around the neko's head in a headlock, the neko's back facing your front.
Even though Claire was quick in fixing the headlock, so was the neko at regaining mobility. However, flailing around in all the wrong ways, Claire's grip remains tight.

Without any time to waste, you start to rub your legs up and down the neko's vagina. After not too long, the neko lets out a loud moan, its tail flicking around aimlessly. Then, a pink string of text appeared over the head of the neko.

'Lust: 1'

Now, the neko tried to get free again. This time, it manages to wriggle its way out of your hold. As you both stand up to face eachother, you notice that the damage above the neko's head have changed, along with the neko's attitude. Unlike before, the neko's tail was now stiff, swinging around as if it was trying to enter a certain hole even though she wasn't even close to you. To top it all off, the neko is purring.

'Damage: 15.'
The number above the neko said.

Lyl's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“If you want some information about the enemy before going into battle, you can check out the nearby museum. Remember, the museum only gives you certain amounts of information on certain amounts of races, dependent on your level.
Also, I or any other NPCs do not give out weapons for free.
Finally, can I take it that you've accepted the quest?”.

Aaah, so this was a NPC, eh? With that AI, it was hard to tell the difference between player and NPC.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire takes a fighting stance. She waits for the Neko to charge at her. She takes a few steps back and waits for the Neko.

[Icaelus]

No weapon? Argh, fine..I suppose I'll just go cavewoman on them, then?"
Lyl pouted, folding her arms. Geez! NPCs were all quite the stingy bunch, huh?
"Anyway..whatever. I'll accept the quest. Just point me to whatever I need to do..right, beat up a cat and get it's scent, was it?"
She sighed as she turned and walked out of the barracks. Beat up a kitty and get his..whatever. But why? Cats were so cute..even if they were a little snobby at times..maybe she could just tickle one into defeat?

(Airhead Lyl..)

Claire's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

With a loud “Meowwwww!”, the neko charges right at you. Its head was well aimed at your stomach, the pain spreading throughout your body.

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

This wasn't good. You had to end the fight and fast. Taking advantage of its high speed, you ignored the pain and threw the neko backwards into a tree.

'Damage: 19.'

As the neko glided down from the tree and onto the ground, the number raised again.

'Damage: 20.'
And the desired red text appeared next to it again.
'Immobilized for: 2 turns.'

Now was your chance if you wanted to grapple it!

Lyl's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“To help you on your quest, you will be given the item 'catnip'. Use it before entering the mist by the edge of the city, and you will most definitely encounter a neko.”

Yellow words appeared in front of you.
'Inventory updated! Added catnip.
Did you know: By using catnip just before entering the mist, you increase the likelihood of meeting a neko in the forest environment by 100%.'

Now, all you had to do was to use the item, and walk into the horizon of the mist it seemed.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire quickly runs over to the Neko. She puts the Neko on her stomach and then does a boston crab lock. After that she furiously fingers the Neko.
