Who • Head Admin
What • A chance to see the Head Admin "in-person". May be cranky. Caution advised.
When • August 5-11
Where • Lumina Cloth
Content Warnings • Possible PKing (with player permission)

[ Any time between August 5 to 11, you may see a figure clad in a long black cloak with the hood up to obscure his face, either standing at random spots of the city with his 5' 10" height or sitting on a bench, being slightly less menacing. He stands out in a certain way, because his presence alone might be a little unnerving. He resembles what you would expect out of a grim reaper sort of existence.

Yet, if you check his character information, you'll see his level, class, equipment, and a very "friendly" blurb. A level 100... Harvest Cleric? Surely, that shouldn't be too scary to deal with, right?

Anyway, here are your options:

I ► You're here to talk about that weird quest. He will reject any attempts at being given the quest item. May straight up PK you without hesitation either way.

II ► You want to fight him. Maybe you want to launch a surprise attack on him or just straight up ask for a PvP round for whatever reason. Lumina Cloth is pvp-enabled for the entire root town, after all.

III ► You're not sure how to approach him, but you can hear him mumbling about a potato...

IV ► You want to talk to him about something else.

Wildcard ► Hit him up in-person or his inbox with whatever you'd like! I do want to note that every single in-person interaction has the possibility of him trying to PK you because he's a cranky and violent guy--yes, even prompt 4. If you would prefer not to get PK'd, please let me know in the comment header in advance, so that I can avoid that while threading with you! You can put anything you want under wildcard, including dragging him to the amusement park, but will he agree? Fuck around to find out.

He's just here to vibe. There will be no plot-relevant things here. ]

[ Hence the reason he used the word at all. Hien will either have a god complex due to being an admin or absolutely hate it, there's no in-between. ]

Do I? Did you not strike me down for my sins like a diety? [ Dragged him to hell and put him out of his misery. ] Truly, I cannot think of any better use of my time than to bask in the presence of my doom.

[selfconcept]

[ Hien just closes his eyes. Why him, god. Why him. He shortly reopens them. ]

No one needs to be a deity to punish you for what you did. From how much you seem to be obsessed with me, I wouldn't even look twice if you did something to the poor quest giver in Mac Anu.

[trollophoroi]

Oh, I don't know. I get the feeling you would be happy if I went ahead and did something to that poor man's Hien stuck in Mac Anu.

[ Actually, if he asked... really nicely... he just might. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien being happy. Imagine that. ]

You're free to do whatever you'd like to the NPC. They don't die nor get injured normally.

[ He has to add that last part, because of that bug on the first day.

But he notes how Fandaniel didn't deny the obsessed part. ]

[trollophoroi]

[ Why deny it when it may be a tiny bit true? Hien's the only actual threat to him on the server right now. ]

Come now, you can admit it. You hate that ridiculous NPC and the quest it's been handing out. Unless...? Don't tell me you set it up!

[selfconcept]

My standards for humor are unexpectedly not that deep in hell, so you can forget about the idea. I have no part in it, so don't try to give me the quest items.

[ That is a threat. ]

[trollophoroi]

Oh? Will you kill me again if I do? [ Fandaneil asks with a certain amount of glee in his voice. ] Well! I had not planned on doing any such thing, but now that you clearly don't want the quest items...

[selfconcept]

[ Hien just stands there and stares at Fandaniel with a dead look on his face. Hello?? ]

Would you really fetch the quest item and talk about gay sex at length just to piss me off? What the fuck.

[trollophoroi]

What can I say? I get bored easily and you're making yourself a very easy target.

[ Even with the total lack of expression Hien seems to have pretty much always, all except that one moment where he struck Fandaniel down the first time and sent him back to Mac Anu, the man's buttons are pretty apparent.

He doesn't like being bothered. He doesn't like having to do his job. He doesn't like. Yes, that's right, just... doesn't like. In general. ]

[selfconcept]

[ How does it feel to be right, Fandaniel? Because it's true. Hien doesn't like many things. He can count things he actually likes on a single hand, and he'd be lucky enough to use all five fingers if he happens to be in a good mood that would momentarily give him a lapse in judgment.

His expression doesn't full on shift to a scowl, but he does frown a little more than usual. ]

Why do you like getting PK'd so much?

[trollophoroi]

[ It feels great, as usual. ]

I wouldn't say I like it. Usually, it's me who's doing the PKing. This is the first time any game admin has bothered to deal with me so personally, so why don't we put it down to being a... hm... unique experience?

[selfconcept]

So you like the attention.

[ Is this what it is? ]

The white room offer still stands if you ever feel like hating yourself enough to be in my presence.

[trollophoroi]

[ Surprise, he does hate himself! ]

If it means spending time with our illustrious head admin, I think I would very much enjoy keeping you company. Truly, though, consider some decor. All that white can't be good for your eyes, dear Hien.

[selfconcept]

[ "Dear" gives him hives. Please reconsider. Hien visibly scrunches his face in utter Disgust. ]

I'll consider it if you never say that again.

[ He says, with the same disgusted look. ]

[trollophoroi]

Hmm, should I give up on calling you that simply to keep you company? Is the trade-off worth it... let me think...

[ And Fandaniel makes a show of bringing a finger to his chin and tapping it, gaze wandering away from Hien to the surrounding area, as though weighing his options seriously. Ah, but in the end, the answer is inevitably, ]

Oh, very well. I shall reserve that little term of endearment for my other enemies. [ It isn't at all surprising he has those, probably. In any case, his gaze has drifted back to Hien and he smiles at him. ] See? I can behave.

[selfconcept]

[ Hien closes his eyes for real this time and sighs. ]

I see that you can. Maybe I won't PK you this time. "Other enemies", he says...

[trollophoroi]

What can I say? Several players have no appreciation for PKing across the entire spectrum of games.

[ Yeah, he's always been like this. ]

[selfconcept]

Did they try to PK you in return?

[ He imagines they did, but he doesn't believe in victorious vengeance.

The one who's taken the first shot has already won. ]

[trollophoroi]

FlameMane and I have traded PKs before, the other two tend to act out of defense rather than hunting me down. Very dull of them. Really, if you want a bit of fun, I highly suggest getting on FM's nerves.

[ Dehya is fun to piss off, she really is. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien enjoys violence, but maybe not like that... ]

You really don't hold back, do you? Is it the thrill that keeps you going? Being chased out of being targeted... FlameMane hasn't done anything to get on my bad side either.

[trollophoroi]

Perhaps not, but she might still appreciate an opportunity to fight, bad side or not.

[ Hien, do you not want PVP? They are all literally in PVP central. ]

As for myself... hm... [ He pauses, thinks, then shrugs. ] Leading people on a wild chase is very thrilling, so, yes, I suspect you have it right. If they catch me, it's of no matter. I'll get them back another time.

[selfconcept]

[ He likes PvP, but man. He doesn't think it's fun when they did nothing wrong. ]

I'm too overleveled. It wouldn't really be enjoyable.

[ But doling out punishments? Yeah, he likes that regardless of being overleveled or not. And he's not in too bad of a mood... yet. ]

But I'm surprised you haven't tried any surprise methods to get at me.

[trollophoroi]

What, and be one-shot? Hm. I could always try... Although, getting a bunch of other players to gang up on you might have a more entertaining outcome.

[selfconcept]

You think so?

[ Hien doesn't, apparently. He's so used to it being by himself against a bunch of others, so he prepares for these things in his head a lot. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if a group of angry players had enough of his shit and try to PK him eventually. ]

I think I'm more interested in how you would herd all those people with your reputation.

[trollophoroi]

[ So dour! But that's expected by now, after their first run-in. Even so, Fandaniel carries on in his usual spirited way (which is to say... annoyingly) and treats Hien to a big grin before throwing his arms out wide. ]

Who said I would do it myself? I think you should invite them all to try! Would it not put this city's state through its paces? Because all anyone is doing currently is throwing birthday parties and gambling at the casinos!
