Into the shadows (RPG)

[Zunar]

"I think I'll take a Survivor," Zunar says after perusing the list. As an afterthought, he adds "And a Determination for Mega because I'm feeling generous right now."

[Speaking of badges, can I equip my Damage Dodge right now?]

[JSlayerXero]

[As far as I know, unless you're in combat there is nothing stopping you from switching badges whenever you feel like. I'll update again in a bit and reflect both you and Mega equipping your Damage Dodges.]

[Edit: I just checked the main post. Wow Nan needs to update that later it is so old ]

[Harmless]

Frederick takes a few seconds to process what exactly is happening. "Maybe being a ghost isn't all too great... this is hurting my eyes." Frederick tries to find his way back on the main road to the village.

[KABOOM]

[cause I'm a ghoooost, hidin in the shaaaadoooows, searching for a waaaay ouuuut, into the liiiiiight]

Dennis stops humming for a moment and realizes that several important conversations have gone on without him. Apparently he walked halfway across town without really noticing, and now there's a big list of badges and prices in his face??? With such a threat thrust upon him, Dennis does the only thing he can do: he starts nodding as if he's totally paying attention to everything that's happened up to this point, holds out a small pile of Runes, and says, "I'll need a Star Plus and a Last Breath, please."

[Important game mechanics question: can my Last Breath be to heal myself?]
[Also, does anyone have their eye on that Return Postage? Because by my calculation, I alone have enough money to buy nineteen Star Plusses. How did an easily-distracted awful gambler get the most money of anyone in the party?...Because I sure don't remember.]

[JSlayerXero]

[Asked Nan, and apparently, yes, Last Breath can be used to heal yourself and negate your death. Go figure. Also, the whole reason Return Postage is even on this list was to give you some incentive to purchase a total of 15 badges between you guys. I will be counting the total you all buy together, so as long as altogether you buy 15 you can get it for free. I'll give you guys some more time if you want to decide on what to get. I will probably updating at least once more later today though]

[WindMasterArceus]

"Could I get a Star Plus and a Golden Heart, please?"

[Zunar]

"Y'know what, gimme a Heart Plus and a Determination for myself (in addition to the Survivor and Determination for Mega I bought). Might come in handy." Under his breath, he adds "For once I wish Frederick were here, being a thief I'm sure he has tons of cash..."

[That makes 9 badges I think.]

[JSlayerXero]

[No Apparent Location] ♫♪

Frederick tries to find way back to main village. Slight problem though, the houses are missing. The road is there, but the houses outside are missing. The trees are all weird shades of blue. There are some objects that glow colors like red, green or yellow, but it's mostly blue around here. Furthermore, some objects just sort of blink in and out of existence at a really rapid pace. The road no longer leads into a walled village of any kind. Now it's just... Fog. Come to think of it, there's nothing on the other side of the road either. It's just... Nothing.,. At all...

[Nan amazed new summon mechanic, players ignore] ♫♪

Mega shrugs. "If anyone is willing to part with a bit of their cash to help me grab a Determination... I'd appreciate it." In the meantime though, he equips the Damage Dodge he already had.

"I'll take the Star Plus," says Arma.

"I think I'll take a Survivor," Zunar says after perusing the list. As an afterthought, he adds "And a Determination for Mega because I'm feeling generous right now."

Xero pulls the badges out from one of his inner coat pockets and accepts your money. He then pulls out a badge from his pocket and pins it to Daisy's scarf. "Here, I'll give you this one free and count it as the 10th badge towards your next free badge. It's not often I get to meet such a unique creature." He claps his gloved hands together. "Well, would you like anything else? I've got plenty of time if you need it."

[The badge in question is Mimic. 2 BP. 3 SP. Copy an ability your ally is using this turn, or the last ability used last turn. Damage modifiers are based on your stats, not the stats the original ability was used with. While you can attempt to copy an opponent, it will be at the GM's discretion whether it works or not and to what degree. Unlike everything else you've bought, this Mimic badge will automatically be equipped to you.]

Wind equips his new badges. "Alright, I refuse to almost-die to plants again."

[1018peter]

"Thanks." Arma equips the badge "Now, time to check the farms." Arma then heads down to the Kirk Farm.
