Episode 1: Bezelbebe Forest

Jul 7, 2020 12:34 pm
After all the contemplation about why you are here or if what you were experiencing was real, it was time for you to move. The screen just disappeared. If you waited for the moment you wake up cause you were still convinced this was a dream or just an illusion, you might be surprised to know that that won't happen because in reality you are in reality.

Can't you feel the wind? Can't you touch the ground? You can feel it, you can smell it, you can even taste it if you want just so you can come to the conclusion that everything around you are real. Now what? You may ask. You've got the freedom to explore the world around you. Answers don't just reveal themselves, you must find them.

Seek? What is it that you seek? A way out perhaps? Do you want to return to your life as an unemployed middle age man? Do you want to go back to talk to your ex girlfriend? Do you want to... what is it that you were supposed to do later again?

We begin our story with three men who just got pulled from their world into another world, in the forest of Bezelbebe, where all lost ones begin their journey.
GM: Begin where your character creation process ended.

Nel stood in the middle of the forest dumbfounded after his realization.

"If this is really that kind of world then that means 'those' things are this worlds reality." Nel looked around as he try to come to terms with his current situation. With his hangover gone, he had to check for himself the powers he gained.

Armor, flight, and breath? Hmmm, I could only use that breath once, and if this is a world of magic and dragons, I should avoid flying. Well, at least for now. Armor it is then.

Nel had to concentrate for him to manifest the cool armor he got using the power points. He relaxed himself and concentrated as he focus his thoughts into manifesting the armor. It looked cool on the picture so it should look cool when he wears it, right?

"Let's see what this armor looks like, hehe."

Anthony, who gained the ability to remember things quickly and accurately, suddenly forgot most things about him. Earlier he was worried about an exam and now he is in a cave with heart shaped glowing fungus and magic powers.

Without any idea of what it was he was supposed to do next, he decided to find an exit and perhaps a purpose to move forward other than hatred for his dad who's face he could not recall anymore.

Deep breaths Anthony. He tried to convince himself to stay calm.

Where do we go now? Anthony would start walking to find an exit. But first, he'd try out his new power on some of those glowing mushrooms.

They may come in handy. He thought.

Soon as the congratulations screen ended he tried out something.

"Now let's see who this Veronica is. I admit I still care for my EX but I'm also pissed." Dylan recalled how to perform the summoning and attempted to Summon the dark fairy Veronica. He didn't really care if its duration would only run for an hour. He just wanted to check if this Veronica looked like hs ex.

"Come out Veronica." he yelled as if it was part of his ritual to summon his fairy.

Nel

Without a mirror, he couldn't fully check what his armor looked like, especially the back part but he can say that it was durable and light. It's a red ensemble from head to toe with a western dragon motif. Seems like it was made of dragon scales if Nel would believe that. It's surprisingly comfortable to wear, refreshing even like it has a built in AC. It suits him well but unfortunately it has no pockets. He couldn't reach his pockets also while he's wearing it.
Anthony

You pulled out the soft green glowing mushrooms in your dimensional storage. You touch it and poof it enters your storage as if you had a mouth in your hand eating the shrooms. Your gloves are fingerless so when you touch the glowing mushrooms your fingers would constantly get in contact with the shrooms and get coated in glowing sap. By the time you finished collecting your fingers are all glowy. Surprisingly though, the gauntlet did not get any glowy stuff on it no matter how many times you use it.

Another thing, you found out that whenever you take a mushroom it gets registered to your head accompanied by a bell like sound effect. *ting* *ting* *ting* When you close your eyes and think of the inventory, the contents of your storage are listed much clearer.

[ Obtained Glowheart Mushrooms x50 | 1 cft ]

There's no other information about the items aside from the quantity and space it occupied.
Dylan

When you called out Veronica's name, a pitch black sphere gradually expanded in front of you until it was the size of a beach ball. The ball then started to drip like goo on the floor revealing the body of a tiny fairy the size of a standard Barbie Doll. Its tinywings flutter like a dragon fly. You notice that she does look like the former lover who just dumped you earlier. Other than that, the black liquid like matter disappeared when it hit the floor leaving no trace.

Veronica opened her eyes. When she saw you she folded are arms and distanced herself from you.

"Hmph. What do you want, pervert!" She asked.

"Red. Nice, I dig that color. Gotta take a selfie then." Nel tried to take his phone but it was in his pocket which he doesn't have access to while he's in armor. That's sad, Nel, just sad. Nel frowned. He knew that it would take an hour before he can get off his armor again and with that he realized the problem that goes with it.

"Fuck! What if I gotta leak? I need to wait for an hour. This armor sucks." Nel grunted, he was pissed off.

"Gotta check out this place then. There must be a town or something nearby." Nel talked to himself out loud.

Nel started to move forward one direction. Thinking that if he walked straight eventually he might meet someone. If he's lucky he might stumble upon a town.

But what if this is set in the stone age?

"I see, so that means probably I can pick up to 400 mushrooms. But this is enough, I don't know what these are for anyway." Anthony tried to wipe out the glowy sap(?) on his pants to remove it. Before walking along the cave to try and find an exit.

He took out his phone and tried to check if there was a signal and also check what time it is. If it is not drained, he'd use it as a flashlight if it gets too dark in the cave.

Sho stood very still. He blinked several times taking in the sights, smells and feels of the place.

Oh my God! This is real! His senses were sharper than usual and he knew it was because of his choice in the weird menu. He also knew this was very real, incredible, unbelievable but real.

Sho started a quick sprint, feeling his lung stronger than they ever were. He restrained a cry of joy and amazement and stopped.

What was it again, Rabbit Ears! He mentally said the words picturing his hearing going everywhere in the forest and listened to see if anything happened.

Sho

Sharper senses made him notice that the tiny creatures, birds, and insects look a bit different than they were supposed to be back on Earth. Differences like an extra pair of wings for butterflies, birds that camouflage on trees, squirrels with two tails, trees with a bluish coloration. They all seem strange and at the same time familiar, as if Sho have been here before.

His hearing was amplified after using his newfound power. The cicadas song became louder. He could hear a person from the north and east. He could also hear two persons on the west. The sound of the river blocks his hearing of the south, the area where he came from. Further from the north he can hear the sound of footsteps.

After a few seconds, his hearing returned to normal.
OOC:
If you need a more detailed information. You can use a perception roll (D20+Awareness), specify which of the sounds you want to listen to intently. If you want to check on all of them, the DC is going to be higher.
Jul 10, 2020 3:02 am
Wow this is amazing! but... mmm can I do it again? Rabbit ears!

Sho concentrate first on the sound of the footsteps to the north. He tries to determine the distance, if there is any conversation and other details like the size of the groups, if they are wearing metal boots etc..

"Pervert?!" Dylan regretted summoning the dark fairy. What was he thinking? He thought the dark fairy would be a kind fairy that will take care of him but then after summoning his image of the dark fairy got easily destroyed. He wanted to retaliate and call her a cockroach but then he saw her face, and she looked just like Veronica. She's also a bitch just like his ex-girlfriend.

"That's rude, we just met. You haven't even introduced yourself. I'm Dylan by the way." Dylan said with a wink.

Rolls

Flirting? - (1d20+6)

(6) + 6 = 12

Nel

You walked straight one direction and noticed more how different this place was to where you came from. You did find a person with black hair and modern clothes about a hundred feet in front of you.
Anthony

You found the way out of the cave. It was morning and in front of you was a vast forest with strange flora and fauna. Instead of the forest smell though, it smelled like dead rat. You found carcasses of dead animals lying on the floor nearby getting feasted on by flies half the size of your fist.
Sho

You're not sure how many or what, you just know that they are footsteps. The other sounds distract you from learning about what's ahead of you. However, you saw a man in red armor walking towards you.
Dylan

"Hmph. You already know my name you pervert!" Veronica did not get affected by your charms. Either she's not in the mood or she really doesn't like you.

How do retry works on perception check?
Oh, who is that person? Let's stay alert for the moment. Rabbit ears!

@Nel "Hi, i'm Sho. Do you speak Japanese? Are you from around here?"
Jul 10, 2020 2:39 pm
OOC:
You can retry the check. You need to get a 15 this time. Get a 20 and you'll get more info.
Nel can understand that the man spoke in Japanese, what he couldn't understand is why he could understand it fluently now. This is true with Dylan as well, Veronica is speaking another language but he realize he can understand it. As if there was a program in their heads that translate the languages they speak into a common language.

You're all speaking Common in this world. Common, obviously, is the common language of this world. It's convenient that you do not have to bother learning a foreign language cause you felt like it was 'uploaded' in your heads.

The sound of a bell rang on everyone's head. Everyone learned the language [TRAVELER] and [COMMON].

Traveler is the language of all other world travelers, meaning you learned all the language on Earth. Common is the common language of this world.
OOC:
For convenience. There are other languages in this world.
Jul 10, 2020 3:47 pm
Do I speak Japanese? Why do I suddenly know Japanese? Well, this is convenient.

"Hey, I don't but can you understand me?" Nel replied in English as he walked closer to where Sho was. It would be easy to fly towards him but wouldn't it look intimidating if he approached someone looking like a dragon?
Jul 10, 2020 6:34 pm
The armored guy didn't look aggressive despite wearing a scary looking armor. Sho felt confident he could outrun most people in the forest now.

"I can understand you. I think we are speaking [TRAVELER]. Where are you from?"

The slow and simple conversation allowed Sho to keep trying to hear the incoming groups. Rabbits ears!

"Los Angeles." Nel approached Sho. He relaxed his guard, having someone else puts his mind at ease though he doesn't really need it cause he's got immunity to fear.

"I assume you got here through that bright white light. Any ideas where we are?" Nel asked. He thought that perhaps the other person know more about where they are than he does.

"I'm Nel by the way."
Jul 11, 2020 2:58 pm
"I'm Sho, Yamasaki Sho. But yea, A bright white light then some strange menus and this forest. It's some sort of fantasy world with powers. I can hear 3 other people near, maybe travelers like us. The is also a bigger group coming from then north."

Sho's answer was a bit slow and absent-minded as he was concentrating on far away sounds.
Jul 12, 2020 1:31 am
Sho

They were not simply marching, the group are running. From someone/something or for someone/something? You are not sure but you can hear them try to catch their breath. You can separate the sound of 5 people moving towards your direction.
