『PIVOT』
sends you a private message!
Read it?
YES ⋆ NO
╚═══════════════╝
I hesitated,
but another notification
rang up next.
『PIVOT』
is near you!
『Challenge to a PvP?』
YES ⋆ NO
I winced, ready to click no.
But I decided to read
the message first.
╔═══════════════╗
fr:『PIVOT』
to:『RULEKEEPER』
You're nearby!
I'm a non-combatant
neutral party,
would negotiate
to avoid PvPs.
╚═══════════════╝
So there are people
like this too, I realized,
and honestly I was glad.
I clicked NO,
and typed back in reply,
[It's fine, I don't like fighting too.]
Really, I was glad not everyone
was like that Dream-Eater guy.
"Weird things have been
happening in this town, y'know,"
Cula, the pretty barista
whispered gentle small talk.
She was beautiful,
with rich indigo hair
and a bumblebee waist.
Her movements were elegant,
pristine, professional,
without mistakes,
as she served up gently
the ordered cup of coffee.
"Dream Depression,
I've heard,"
I, her customer sighed,
agonizing in exhaustion
over the events in the day.
First it was EXTERMINATOR,
rude and unsociable.
Then came DREAM-EATER,
mortifying as a horror icon.
But most of all, CYBER-SURFER,
who well, was actually Uncle Noel
and was in a coma now.
What was going on?
Did Cyber-Surfer... Did Cysur
lose in a match?
Is that why he's in a coma?
Or was the coma a result of
his flavor text?
If I challenged him to a PvP now,
would he be able to fight back?
No, can he challenge me
to a PvP?
"There are more.
Mr Noel's sudden coma,"
it seems Cula's heard that too,
"I've heard of
someone suddenly going blind, too.
They didn't think
much of it before
Mr Noel had that
unexplained coma.
Some of the
adults are terrified now,"
she told me.
Cafe bars had the best gossip,
and that wasn't a lie.
But this was a first.
Going blind?
What sort of Flavor Text would
cause that consequence?
Maybe it was just a coincidence.
Or was it that losing
caused different consequences
for each player?
Maybe it wasn't death
that came after lost,
after all.
Yeah, that sounded hopeful.
Suddenly,
my own role began to sound
much less awful.
