[horrible_penny]

 [This is a rather unusual curse for Penny, who woke up dressed in what appears to be a very nice version of her last Halloween costume and a desire to smite, heal, quest, and loot.  All sorts of words she's never used or heard keep tumbling out of her mouth--did she really tell that guy she was a level eighty priest? what does that even mean?--and

[Trotting out of the forest, still en route toward the beach, comes a young man in green tunic, boots, and ridiculous hat, carrying a baseball bat and accompanied by his brightly glowing companion, who will be tagging in momentarily to address this new person they have just come across.]

[Instantly, as soon as he sees Penny, Mike runs over to stand beside her.]

To talk to people, press A!

[...talk. Right.]

[BADASS. Pressing A!]

[worstlootever]

Press A?

[This is not how Penny's operating.]

Why don't you just talk? Oh, but not too loud. There're spiders around here.

[Chris is taking a break from running away from loonies in cars with too many guns to look at the Network and he's found THIS. He would actually like to date her avatar, if at all possible. Or ogle it. That's also fine.]

[She knows he's there. Lurking. Who knows how.]

Chris? Are you out questing, too?

[audio]

[justcautious]

Um, not exactly... There're some blokes in cars runnin' down folk on the sidewalk an' shootin' at me. S'pose it's sort of a quest t'stop them from tryin' t'kill people. [Or. You know. HIM.]

What about you?

[worstlootever]

That sounds about as dangerous as spiders. I wish I could help... I could cast some healing spells, at least.

I'm doing a quest! Allison needs three Venom Sacs.

[Brian's a little ways off, slicing and dicing a rather ugly looking spider. He's definitely winning, though he looks a bit the worse for wear-- a few cuts, and an odd pallor that suggests he's been hit with poison and hasn't shaken off its effects yet.]

Pardon my error. ._.;

[worstlootever]

[Penny keeps her distance--not too far, not too close.]

Greater Heal!

[Ah, and there's a spider for her sneaking down a tree trunk. She moves away to get at a better striking distance.]

hush you, it's all in fun and you are doing fine <3

[cold_blood_spec]

[He stands as the spider dies, and straightens up a bit as the healing Light washes over him, letting out a deep breath. He turns to say something and spots the other spider; without another word he crouches and... disappears, or at least seems to.

A few moments later he reappears behind the beast, driving a blade into its torso and twisting it cruelly.]

Awwa, thank you! <3

[worstlootever]

[Not so much as a chance to Holy Fire it's spidery butt. Ah well. Penny listens briefly for more spiders and, with the coast clear, collects the two Venom Sacs from the dead arachnids, leaving the rest of the loot for Brian.]

You're really good, Rudy. Came out of nowhere there.

[disregard_death]

[Keats himself is quite a bard today. He actually finds the whole curse more fun than it needs to be]

Oi, ready for a quest?

[worstlootever]

Already have one! How about you, Keats?

[disregard_death]

Never quite played this game before. But I got a lute!

[worstlootever]

You won't do too much damage with a lute, will you?
