| All the Small Things:
3 Weddings and a Funeral: 1 1/2 Days to Wedding Bells
(In the crowded Prontera City Square converse a Blacksmith, Hunter, Assassin, and Merchant. The Merchant (Xerxes) sits to the right with a store titled "YouBREAKityouBUYit", while the Hunter (Jacques) and Assassin (Oranges) sit side by side a few steps below and to the left. Above the three is seated the Blacksmith (Rocki).)
Oranges: So just as I about to ask her to level together,
Xerxes: BUY MY STUFF!
Oranges: This Wizard chick dragged in a God-Poing-large mob of SwordFs and Marcs. >.<
Oranges: Darn things turned on us.
Rocki: (says a purposely mispelled expletive). Too bad.
Jacques: You used Endure to escape them, right?
Rocki: (with a laugh sign.) Dumba.ss, Endure's for Knights.
Xerxes: ALL GOOD PRICES!
Jacques: My bad.
Oranges: Well, I would've cloaked, but that would've been rude.
(A novice (Gordon) steps and stands next to Xerxes.)
Rocki: (has a smirk sign.) Hehe. You got owned, right?
Oranges: Badly. >.<
Jacques: What about the girl?
Gordon: 2.7k for a Main-Gauche??? (has an exclamation mark.)
Xerxes: GOODS FOR HALF THE PRICE!
Oranges: I dunno. We both died and respawned.
Rocki: You got her name?
Jacques: Did you at least put her in your friends list?
Gordon: A 1.5k Adventurer's Suit??? (has a dark clouds sign.)
Xerxes: (turns to the right towards Gordan.) BUY OR GO! (turns back around.)
Oranges: No, dude, forgot. Her name was long.
Oranges: I wish. We were busy talking.
Rocki: Hehe. (holds a smirk sign.)
Jacques: Quel domage.
(Gordon puts up a chat room titled "<------Scammer", and turns towards Xerxes.)
Rocki: Hehe.
Xerxes: (turns back towards Gordon.) SHOO N00B!
Jacques: Hold on a minute! A new armor shop! (stands up and walks down to the bottom of the screen.)
(Xerxes takes down his shop and relocates it a few steps above. Gordon repositions himself next to Xerxes and reinstates the previously-used chatroom.)
Oranges: I can't believe I know BOTH the leaders of the Yaoi and Yuri guilds...>.<
Xerxes: (a dark cloud hangs overhead.) GOD-POING-DARNIT!
Gordon: (takes off the chatroom.) I'm reporting you to the Merchant-Blacksmith Association!
Jacques: (comes back up and reseats himself next to Oranges with a smirk sign.) Heh.
Rocki: I'm on the Association's Lead Committee, you know.
Oranges: Sup, Jacques?
Gordon: (with an exclamation mark.) Are you going to blacklist him?
Xerxes: Just try. I contribute a major chuck of Z to it.
Jacques: I just got a steal.
Jacques: Paid a wimpy 50k for a Full Plate Armor. (holds a smirk sign.)
Rocki: (has a laugh sign hanging overhead.) Hehe, no. We know each other.
Oranges: (holds a sweatdrop sign.) Jacques...
Rocki: Dumbas.s, FPA's for Swordsmen only.
Xerxes: GOODS FOR SALE!
Gordon: This bites! (has a dark clouds sign and walks off to the left.)
Oranges: Yeah. Hunters can't wear it, Jacques.
Jacques: (has an exclamation mark, followed by a sob sign.) Fudge!
Oranges: I still can't believe Bob and Herbert are...
Rocki: Hehe, quel domage.
Oranges: You know, Yaoi. You'd never expect it from those dudes.
Rocki: (has a smirk sign.) I could spot it in Herbert. Look at his hair.
Rocki: First thought he was a girl.
Jacques: Who's Herbert?
Xerxes: Garnet was always Yuri. She'd been hearting other girls since Merchanthood.
Oranges: Bob's fiancee.
Jacques: Ex-, you mean?
Xerxes: LITTLE Z FOR GREAT STUFF!
Oranges: No, dude. They're marrying in around 1 day from now.
Jacques: (holds a silence dots sign.) That's odd.
Rocki: What?
Xerxes: GOODS FOR A STEAL!
Oranges: What is?
Jacques: I just saw Bob doing kiss and heart signs with Candy a few hours back.
Rocki: (has a smirk sign.) Dumbas.s, you must've been seeing things.
Oranges: That's impossible, dude.
Xerxes: Hmm...
Jacques: No, I'm sure it was them.
Oranges: (has a music sign.) Those shorts of yours must be cutting off the circulation to your brain, Jacques.
Rocki: Hehe.
Rocki: I'll buy that FPA off of you. 55k.
Oranges: Rocki, you're going to the wedding, right?
Jacques: Thanks, man. Deal me.
Rocki: I'll have to be (expletive with a dot in between its letters.)ing smashed if I DO!
Oranges: You aren't still pissed, are you?
Xerxes: PRICELESS ITEMS AT ROCK BOTTOM PRICES!
Rocki: (with a bunch of dark clouds.) That son of a (expletive with a dot in between its letters.) prick!
Jacques: Huh? What?
Rocki: What the (expletive) do you think?
Oranges: (with a sweatdrop sign overhead.) C'mon, Rocki. You and Dustin knew each other since Novice times.
Rocki: (holding a dark cloud.) Dirty, rotten woman-stealing,
Jacques: Are you talking about Dustin and Adrianne's marriage?
Rocki: (expletive)ing pile of (expletive)! It's even worse that I did!
Oranges: (has silence dots.) Yeah. Rocki was Adrianne's fiancee.
Xerxes: BUY MY STUFF!
Rocki: And I would've still been if it wasn't for that backstabber!
Jacques: I see. Sorry, man.
Oranges: Dude, just give it up. I know a hot priestess from Biliban...
Rocki: I'd do ANYTHING just to get a stab at the lousy STINKER...
Xerxes: Hmm...
Jacques: So you're not going to be at the wedding, I presume?
Rocki: What the (expletive) do you think, dumbas.s?
(A sitting Swordswoman (Circle) in the southern part of the screen faces Rocki with dark clouds.)
Oranges: Darn. You're really having that time of the month, eh, dude? (has a laugh sign.)
Circle: One more curse, and I'm reporting you to Gravity!!!
Jacques: Chill out, man.
Rocki: (with silence dots.) ...
Xerxes: Rocki WILL be at the wedding. (has a poring smile sign.)
Jacques: Man, I need to level.
Rocki: What the f...what do you mean?
Oranges: He will?
Xerxes: Just let me whisper you a moment, pal. I've got the perfect cure for you.
Jacques: Guys, want to try the Hidden Temple?
Rocki: Hold on a moment.
Oranges: This time you're sure of the location, right?
Rocki: ...
Jacques: How could I forget? It's a little ways West of here.
Oranges: (sweatdrops.) No, dude. Just follow me this time.
Rocki: (has an exclamation mark.) (expletive), no! I couldn't do that!
Xerxes: Come on, put it into consideration.
Circle: SCREENSHOT!
Jacques: Okay.
Jacques: (has a silence dots sign.) Dang. You just got youself banned.
Oranges: Nice going, ace.
Xerxes: I'd say it takes the GM 3-5 days to respond.
Rocki: ...
Xerxes: At least you'll be here for the wedding. (has a thumbs up sign.)
Rocki: Fudge!
(In the middle of Culvert 1 are a male Acolyte (Lucius) and a female
Acolyte (Undine) together fighting a Tarou.)
Undine: (heals Lucius.) You shouldn't have.
Lucius: Thanks. Nah. I pulled off good warps.
Lucius: (takes down the Tarou.) Wanted you to have something better than a Smasher.
Undine: (sweatdrops.) But, still...A Chain is quite expensive.
Lucius: (faces a spawning bat and starts to attack.) You need best equipment possible.
Undine: I manage quite fine, dear. (puts up a poring smile sign and attacks a thief bug, which leads another bug to attack.)
Lucius: (has silence dots as he turns from the bat to take down one of the bugs.) ...
Lucius: You're a Support Acolyte. (heals Undine.)
Undine: (heals Lucius.) Just out of SP. What, you think I can't do as well as a Slayer?
Lucius: (sweatdrops.) I didn't mean it that way. (finishes off the bug and turns to help Undine fight the other.)
Undine: Mmm... (downs the thief bug.)
Lucius: (finishes off the bat and heals Undine.) Hard for a Support to fight alone.
Lucius: Dang, I'm out too. (sits down.)
Undine: I guess...(hits a Tarou.)
Lucius: (holds an exclamation mark.) Run!
Undine: Agh, I mis-clicked. (attempts walking away from the Tarou.)
Lucius: (stands and attacks the Tarou.)
Undine: (falls after 3 hits.) Lol.
Undine: I guess I really should update my armor.
Lucius: ...
Undine: Oh, darn. I gtg anyways. See you later, dear. (holds a heart sign overhead and disappears.)
Lucius: (mirrors Undine while fighting the Tarou.) Sure.
Lucius: ...
Lucius: More dirt, more Z...
(Lucius walks outside Culvert into Prontera field where there are two pairs sitting side by side. A Knight (Pimpymac) is sitting next to and facing a Priestess (Adrianne), who is turned towards an Archer (Bismark), who sits alonside a Swordswoman (Circle).)
Bismark: Aching from the loss of the loving Assassin, the Sohee
Lucius: Speak of the Devil. (sits on the other side of Adrianne.)
Adrianne: (holds a paper/wave sign.) Hello, Lucius.
Pimpymac: Heya, Mersaw.
Bismark: Carried herself out of the cave in which they had inhabited together,
Circle: No!!!
Lucius: Hi. Surprise meeting you here.
Pimpymac: We're in the same party. You should know where I'm at.
Lucius: (holds silence dots.) ...Yeah.
Circle: She'd be...oh, what happened, Bis?
Adrianne: (has a poring smile sign.) We're listening to resident storyteller and future Bard.
Bismark: And threw herself in front of a troop of Holy Knights, who were sworn to exterminate her kind.
Circle: (with a sob sign.) So horrible!
Pimpymac: This is the third time today we've been gathered together at the same place.
Bismark: Well, actually, the Sohee was able to reunite with her lover, because of it. And that's pretty much it. ><
Lucius: ...Our paths cross.
Circle: Love, you make me so sad! (has a sob sign.)
Adrianne: Good story, Bismark.
Bismark: (sweatdrops.) I wouldn't want to do anything that hurt you, dear.
Pimpymac: Hahaha. Orange just whispered me. Guess who's getting banned?
Adrianne: Who?
Pimpymac: Rocki!
Circle: The moron who was cursing?
Bismark: Isn't he the one you were talking about before, dear?
Adrianne: ...
Lucius: Wasn't Rocki your fiance?
Pimpymac: How'd you know?
Circle: (has a laugh sign.) I'm the one who threatened to report him.
Adrianne: Yes.
Circle: I was bluffing.
Bismark: Lol.
Lucius: *ponders* Why did you two break up?
Pimpymac: Nice.
Adrianne: I found out I loved Dustin.
Circle: (stands up with a kiss sign.) Shall we take on Goldy, dear?
Pimpymac: Before she found me, of couse.
Lucius: ...I see.
Bismark: (mirrors Circle.) Sure, love.
(Bismark and Circle enter Culvert, Pimpymac holds a heart sign, and Lucius and Adrianne silence dots signs.)
Lucius: You two seem good together.
Adrianne: ...
Pimpymac: Yeah. (holds the thumbs up sign.) We suit each other as hidden lovers.
Adrianne: (sweatdrops.) No.
Lucius: Why not? What Dustin doesn't know couldn't hurt him.
Adrianne: My heart is set.
Lucius: (has a silence dots sign.) ...
Pimpymac: -winks- For now, Addy. (hangs a kiss sign.)
Adrianne: (has dark clouds.) I'm serious!
Adrianne: And call me Adrianne!
Lucius: You love Dustin?
Adrianne: Yes, more than anything.
Pimpymac: She thinks she does.
Lucius: ...
Adrianne: Of course, I expect you two to be there at our wedding.
Pimpymac: No thanks, babe. I hate those sorts of occasions.
Adrianne: What about you, Lucius?
Lucius: (has silence dots.) ...No.
(In Lutie outside the Toy Factory sit 3 Hunters and an Assassin a few steps from each other. On the left side are sitting together, facing each other, two Hunters (M3talman) and (Venetia), while on the right side are a Hunter (Odessa) and Assassin (Natsumi).)
Odessa: Carl's only one screen away. *smiles*
Natsumi: (holds exclamation mark.) Really?
M3talman: I lub u, Vetia. (has a heart sign overhead.)
Natsumi: I'm dying to meet him. I've heard such good things about him.
Odessa: (a poring smile appears.) Yes, and all are true.
Venetia: (holds up a heart sign.) Luv you back, Sk8t.
M3talman: Lub u a lot!
(A Blacksmith comes from below and sits next to Odessa with a hand/greeting sign overhead. Odessa and Natsumi mirror the Blacksmith.)
Natsumi: He'll be here soon, right?
Venetia: Luv you more!
Odessa: He is already. Natsumi, meet Carl.
Carl: Hewwo.
(M3talman and Venetia each have an exclamation mark overhead turning to Carl, while Natsumi holds a question mark.)
Natsumi: C...Ca...Carl?
Venetia: He's a woman!
M3talman: Hoo hoo hoo. Elementary, my dear Watson.
Carl: ^^;
Odessa: Carl plays a female character.
Carl: I'm a guy irl.
Natsumi: Oh, I see. Lol.
Venetia: (turns back to M3talman.) I'd buy a Bunny Band for you!
Natsumi: Just noticed you're in the Yuri guild...
Carl: Yeah. ^^ I love women.
M3talman: (faces Venetia.) I'd MVP Mistress for you!
Odessa: And I love guys that play women. *grins*
Venetia: (hangs a question mark.) Didn't you do that just an hour ago?
M3talman: Right! Ah, I'd MVP it again just for you!
Carl: If you ever need a DC, remember to whisper me. I'll hook you up.
Venetia: (holds a heart sign.) You know, I think Hunter men are the hottest. *winks*
M3talman: Priestess for me. -whistle-
Natsumi: Cool, okay.
Venetia: (with several dark clouds.) WHAT??? SO WHAT AM I??? SECOND CLASS???
Carl: (sweatdrops.) ^^; Ah, Odessa, Natsumi, shall we try the Toy Soldiers?
Odessa: Okay, dear.
M3talman: (with a sweatdrop.) I didn't mean it that way, Vetia... (sweatdrop.)
Natsumi: Sure. In we go!
(Natsumi enters the toy factory, shortly followed by Odessa and Carl.)
Venetia: You have another woman, don't YOU??? Don't LIE!!!
M3talman: Of course not!
Venetia: *sobs* I should've known. All that time with you on your Hunter character...
M3talman: (sweatdrop.)
-Notes-
I tried some research by checking out the Ragnarok Online Market Watch page which is courtesy of Nitro7 http://ro.nitro7.com/ for basic average prices.
Thanks go to Juggalo, a Merchant that confirmed that Merchants can still chat while having their store up and EmblemofDeath for a character suggestion (sorry about the change!).
To add a bit more realism, I'm going to try including and excluding characters at certain times. It just seems a bit odd if the characters are on 24/7. -_-
Apologies: Whoo! I'm sorry for making the story a bit...overdramatic? And yeah, I do notice the awful lack of humor and characterization in the last two segments... Also, a BIG sorry to those this is based upon (I really mean no offense!).
-Poll-
1. Jacques is a N00B!
2. Jacques isn't a N00B!
3. Xerxes is a scammer!
4. Rocki should've been banned!
5. Pimpymac and Adrianne forever!
6. Pimpymac and Adrianne never!
7. Odessa and Carl forever!
8. Odessa and Carl never!
9. Wizards own!
10. Other! (Specify!)
