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. ]

Not getting enough sleep?

[On the list of beta players one wants to hear from, "0koto" is probably pretty low on the list. Last week he was dropping infinite cake on the ground in Mac Anu in an attempt to test the game's memory limit; this week, after a hard period of grinding up to cap, he took a few days to log out and is only just popping back in upon the update.]

[(What's he been up to offline? Oh, who knows. The CC Corp team that installed his hardware might have some things to say about that.)]

[Matoba slips into a seat on the bench next to Hien, irrespective of the other's obvious grumpiness.]

The new city looks nice. Ever been to Kabukicho?

[ were his ears deceiving him or-- ]

Did you say something about the Potato Pets I saw in the news?

[If Mister Administrator has spent any time the last couple days around anywhere that sells food, then the ginger that currently walks by shouldn't be much of a strange sight, even with an armful of creampuffs.

While Barrett does give the cloaked figure a glance, he doesn't think much of it, checking back down at his wares instead--]

Ah.

[A sudden stop, as his brow furrows like he has discovered a serious problem. His mouth thins.

Carefully he plucks up one of the cream puffs, looking almost a little sad, before glancing behind him at the stranger.

Level 100.

...

Eh. He holds it out anyway.]

I got one too many of this flavor. It'll ruin it.

You hungry?

[She's in her Blade Brandier gear today, hello.]

Wow. Who'd you piss off to get put on NPC duty?

[Pete wanders over, having intended to check in with Hien anyway, but. Uh.]

What's that about a potato, boss?

Come to grace the testers with your austere beta testers with divine administrator presence, I see.

[ Fandaniel had approached while Hien was otherwise occupied for that tiny bit of time before, either with watching people mill about the newly opened town or pepper him with questions, but once those are gone, the head admin will find the server's very own clown standing next to him.

Admittedly, he's sure Hien already knew he was there, so he doubts there'll be any surprise involved. Time to see if Hien decides to simply wipe out all his HP in one go again. ]

[The administrator wants to meet with him, so Owen will head to Lumina Cloth. He's taking his sweet time, because of course he is, but he arrives there nonetheless.

In a maid dress, of course, because that's the sort of game Fragment is.]

You're taller then I was expecting you to be.

[He was anticipating a manlet, honestly.]

Potatoes...?

[Sadly, Samwise Gamgee schooling Gollum on potatoes does not enter the pop culture lexicon until 2002. Not that Anthy would reference it anyway - she's just passing by, taking a look at this new city, and this hooded man is mumbling about root vegetables.]

Are you hungry, mister?

[Mami actually had not intended to speak to the adminstrator--she just happened to be here and was taking a second to read the news, and then check her stats and whether or not she should attempt a solo dungeon run when she overheard the man speaking to himself nearby. She could just ignore it, but after a little while she cannot help but respond, trying to be friendly.]

Are you talking about that Potato Pet fad that's been in the news recently, sir? I thought about getting one to put on my desk or something, but I'm worried that my cat might knock it down or try to eat it...

( It takes some time to find Mr. Hien, since it's not like there's a marker on the map for him, but the grim reaper at his full height is being approached by a guy a whole 9 inches shorter than him, unperturbed by his whole, like, vibe. )

Good evening. Hien, right?

( His profile literally says Hien right there, but he isn't confirming his name. No. He's confirming if this is who he needs to be giving a certain item to. )
