Shapeshifters - Genetics IC. (Now open!)

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire stares at the ground and then starts to walk forward a bit. She then stops and remembers what was said in the tutorial. "Um. Teleport to the city?" she says. Claire stands there and waits for something to happen.

[BlueLight]

Lina starts hyper ventating... she looks scared and starts going crazy... Oh and she randomly grabs some one (Like ASA or dax... maybe claire.)

[berserkerhorn]

Cassie looks around at the virtual world. She had been away from light for so long she flinched as it hit her

“As you wish. Safe travels in the city!”

Slowly, a darkness enveloped your vision. Then, a classical loading screen was all you could see with concept art of the main city. On the loading screen was a tooltip!

'Did you know: That special shapes gain experience when you win PvP matches, even if you do not use the shape at all?'

After a short while, the screen disappears and instead appears a city filled with people. You were standing in the midst of at least a thousand other naked people – presumably all newbies. There seems to be a lot of confusion.

As a matter of fact, someone is so confused, that she has begun hyperventilating. This would be Lina, but you do not know this yet. She randomly grabs the nearest person, which just happened to be another female that seemed to be trying to avoid the suns light. This would be Cassie, but this you didn't know either.

Cassie and Lina:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Suddenly, Lina randomly grabs Cassie out of the blue. Lina is currently looking like she's dying in her own lungs while Cassie looks like she's annoyed by the sun.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire stands there and watches the confusion. "Uh. What am I supposed to do now? Tutorial bot?" she says. She stands there and starts to walk around town.

Jessi reaches out and pushes yes on the menu,"What is your special shape? I`m a healer type." He asks Yuraki as she comments about the need of weapons.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

Yukari ducks into a shop "Hey you have Gekkoukan High Uniform Do ya?"
She growls impatiently
"Or at least some High cut armor?"

She had decided to drag Jessi with her
"I turn into a fire person and set crap on fire and I am faster"

[napsii]

It didn't take Abigail -- well, Ilia -- more than completing the tutorial to decide there was something not quite right about this game. Her internet research agreed with everything she'd seen, except the parts about the uh...sex. Okay, so she couldn't kill people permanently? That was fine. They'd respawn, like in every other game.

So, prudently, she decided to chalk that weird ass part off as a glitch, hallucination or some other weird instance that wasn't really part of the game. Was it? Even a cursory look around showed this wasn't exactly in line with the game she'd ordered, but then again, her wallet was now empty and she had already set up her account for this game. Despite all this, she was actually way too enthralled by all of the cool stuff she was seeing to care much about the weirder parts. She could smell, breathe, feel, hear, see! It was like she was really in the game!

She was the game!

And then, of course, a gigantic black-and-blue warmecha showing up was the icing on the cake. She saw the cockpit instruments light up around her body, lending view to the world. Holy crap, she even got a mecha! Giddy, she moved to speak, but the machine itself interrupted her. There was even intelligent AI here?

She bit the inside of her cheek. This was all a very novel experience. It was so surreal, in fact she wondered if it was just some very lucid dream.

At last, she spoke:

"Aww, yeah!" she elated, looking around the mecha's cockpit. It wasn't too big, but obviously very agile and tough. She felt invincible already.

"Cool, you can talk. So what's your power?" she questioned, peering out the cockpit canopy to the gigantic blades adorning DI's arms.

[daxtinator396]

"Um don`t you have any free outfits? And i turn into basically light and a skelton that moves and jumps super high and fast! But I can`t really attack just heal." She says excitedly as she talks about her special shape.

[BlueLight]

"Help!" Lina demand and then falls to her knees.

Claire's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

For some reason, it seems like the bot isn't replying to you... Odd...

Jessi's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

In the middle of the circular stone square, you began your shapeshift. It wasn't a stealthy process, and as that strange yet feeling of dissolving spreads from within, you see several newbies around you stare at you with confused eyes. The transformation took only 10 seconds, and you're now in your shape: Light bone.

In front of you, the following numbers that only you can see pops up on your holographic display.
'Stats:
Healing power: 3.
Offensive power: N/A.
Defensive power: 0.

Speed increase: Thrice the speed of a normal shape: on.

Light bone transformation: Complete.'
Three seconds later, they disappear.

Ilia's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“What do you think my power is? Look at my hands. They are swords. It's simple. I slice things up, and they start bleeding!”; Dark Ilia pauses for a second. “And I can kinda scan the area so that no-one will take us out by surprise. Oh oh! And I'm fast enough to block bullets!”; Dark Ilia laughed as if she was already standing on top of a pile of dead enemies. “We'll beat 'em up. We'll beat them all up. I know you can do it. I know I can do it. With all the games we've been playing together, this should be a piece of cake.”.

… All the games we've been playing together?

[daxtinator396]

"Like this!" She cried as her transformation was complete. She looked at Yukari from her new softly glowing form as if to say "whatcha think?"

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

"Its very interesting...." she seemed dead set on getting that uniform

[napsii]

Abigail practically leapt out of her seat.

"Helllllllllll yeah!" she gripped the controls tighter, agreeing with DI without hesitation. A mecha for her special shape...really was hard to go wrong with that. As she spoke, though, she decided to cycle for a few menus just to get a feel for the game's inner workings. It was quite convenient she only needed to speak one word to log out.

She raised the character management screen, curious to see what the layout of her stats and whatnot would be initially.

Yukari and Jessica:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The lady stared at Yukari, totally unable to fathom what it was he wanted. After a while, she simply smiled. “Sorry, we don't have that... Erh... Uniform. I don't think I have any... What did you call it? High-cut armor? Either.”; She turned to Jessica. “Yes, we do have give-away clothes dealt to us by the GM. There is a basic male outfit and a basic female outfit. Do you want one of each or just one female outfit? Oh, and you may not get more than one outfit, just so that you don't go throw it away at random.”.

Ilia's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

A whole bunch of data was readily available on the screen! From experience to skills to shapes, it was all there.

(Refer to first page and look at the post that says 'Character levels skills and shapes' to see what information it is that you can see on your screen. )

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

She let out an unhappy sigh
"Sure one of both....please...."
She drooped and waited for some clothes

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire sighs. "Well I guess I'll walk around and explore" she says to her self. She walks around the city and observes her surroundings.

[napsii]

Abigail -- wait, Ilia -- wasn't exactly impressed by the stat disparity between the male and female form, especially after using this character in so many online games and kicking the shit out of unnaturally ripped guys while still looking super feminine, but she supposed it was just some weird ass game mechanic she'd have to deal with.

She could swear this wasn't exactly the most normal game...certainly wasn't the one she ordered via the online store.

Keeping her stats in mind, she looked around and spoke to DI:

"So, uh, I just realized I'm friggin' naked. Where do you think we get clothes? I don't think I want to come out of you 'till I find some." she said. She'd noticed she was unclothed for a while now, but had been too caught up in examining the game to really notice.

[That_One_Guy]

*Whoa, gone for a day and this has explodeded*

Maria gasped when she saw all those people go by, this was one game that seemed to be very intuitive with what you think. Suddenly, she was in the game, the Red Tail Berserker form taking place, it had told her that the special form takes on the shape of your inner personality, and she had to admit, she was liking this. She smiled at her form, hands grabbing at her breasts, when the tutorial asked if she had anymore questions, she only shook her head, "I'll learn as I go along, thank you." She said, smugly, it's how she learned everything, not by being taught, but by teaching herself.

Yukari's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Over the counter were a female gray shirt and a male gray shirt, along with gray underwear for both genders. Colorless and utterly boring clothes. “Here you go!”; The woman said with a friendly smile on her face.

Claire's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Along the way, you see a red elegant building that almost seems like a barrack by the way it has swords and symbols hanging along the exterior. The windows aren't too elegant, and behind them are steel blockades that can be pulled on or off at any time. On the top, it has a anti-air turret for some reason. What would possibly invade from the air? On a poster outside the barrack, you find something of interest. “Hiring rookies to do simple jobs – will pay.”.

Ilia's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dark Ilia paused for a moment. “No!”; she exclaimed loudly and suddenly. “I don't want to be seen by filthy rookies. No! Never! I will only show myself for worthy foes! End of discussion!”.
She paused for a second time, before answering your question. “Erh, you can probably get clothes somewhere in that city the bot mentioned. Just tell him to take you there. When you do, you will be naked though. But come on! You've seen gore, torture and things cutters wouldn't even dream of! What's a little nudity gonna do to you, eh?”.

Maria's PoV:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“As you wish. Safe travels in the city!”

Slowly, a darkness enveloped your vision. Then, a classical loading screen was all you could see with concept art of the main city. On the loading screen was a tooltip!

'Did you know: You can find places that will give out cheap clothing for free to newbies?'

After a short while, the screen disappears and instead appears a city filled with people. You were standing in the midst of at least a thousand other naked people – presumably all newbies. Oh this was getting good. With so many naked females – so many victims – the game would never have to end for you!
