Nodding softly, Lyntael took the list, then looked over it. Briefly, her eyebrows drew down, lips tweaking into an unsure frown, but she brushed it away again after a moment. The chip rewards must only come from doing a great many of the bounty targets, but the staggering climb of numbers sent an uncomfortable flutter through her stomach as she thought about it. She'd been thinking one or two, maybe a small handful, but... the sheet went all the way up to fifty... Swallowing again and working some moisture back into her throat, she nodded a second time and looked up.

"Thank you. I'll come back later then."

She returned to the transit pad quickly, bare feet darting lightly across the floor as she rushed back to Rogan to see what he would say.

It was a day later by the time the young, yellow-clad girl returned, looking no worse for wear than when she'd first arrived at the bounty stall. She darted quickly to the counter.

"Hi! Ah, I need to hand in the bounty I've currently got active. It was for Bluegons, in Sharo." She paused, waiting for the Wrangler to process her request and tally up, while nervously preparing what she needed to say next.

"Thank you. Um, also, could I please get a fresh listing... I've promised to meet some friends in Yoka, but they want to take me to a deeper net layer, the rogue nets. I'm a bit nervous, but I want to be sure I get the right one." Trying to smile, one hand that had been clasped at her waist had crept up to run a finger around her emblem, tapping it occasionally, in a subconscious, nervous fidget.

As Lyntael came up and asked for her reward, a small sack of zenny would materialize into the air, dropping onto the counter for her. All 1680z of it. "Rogue nets huh? Goin for more powerful prey I see. Alright, let me see what I can wrangle ya up!" He said, his hat producing a piece of paper with a list of viruses in the rogue nets for Lyntael.

Lyntael sent the currency away in a string of data quickly, then took the list and looked it over. Most of the names were unfamiliar to her, though some of them were obviously related to ones she did recognise. She didn't know if any of them were supposed to show up in the area where she was meant to meet up with Aurora, though.

"Thank you... ah, just a moment..." She stepped back from the counter and took a few minutes to search for more information; thankfully it dind't take her long to find a public record of known viruses and their general habitats and she quickly cross-referenced the list she'd been given. with only two to pick from, she selected at random and stepped back up to the counter.

"Sorry about that, um... I'll sign up tor this one, please." She handed back the list, pointing out the listing for Karma viruses with an uncertain grin.

"Right you are! We got these little critters playin' their hockey all over the damn place! Here's yer sheet, lil' missy," said Wrangler, hopping as he produced yet another printout for Lyntael to parse through.

She nodded in return, accepting the print out and looking it over properly. The numbers for pay were much larger this time, though the idea of the tally going all the way to fifty still unnerved her. At last she nodded once more, then with another briefly murmured 'Thank you!' she darted away for the exit transit.

((From => Her home))
----------

A pale yellow beam of light left Lyntael standing not too far from the wrangler's stand and she darted over quickly, giving the program a small wave as she jumped the last couple of feet to stand directly in front of the counter.

Hi! Ah, I've got a bounty contract for Dharmas, but I've got to hand it in for now. I don't think Rogan wants me to get another one just yet, but I got... seven, I think.” She paused for a moment, wondering how to prove it, before her eye caught sight of the sign, and she recalled that the strange little prog could tell regardless. She waited, hands behind her back for an extra moment, then realised something else was missing. “Oh! Um, just in cash, please, no chips. Thank you.”

"Seven of them, eh li'll lady? Then here's yer well earned reward, sweetie!" Wranger would reply quickly to Lyntael as she came back with her bounty, the program swiftly bring up a decent sized bag of zenny for the navi to transport to her operator just in time for his purchase. "If'n y'all change yer mind sweetie, yer always welcome to come back and try yer hand at another bounty!"

Lyntael get: 4200z

Lyntael grinned and nodded her head as she acepted the payment, letting it convert to a slim data string that chased up her arm to her emblem then disappeared as she sent it back.

"Thanks! I'm sure Rogan will have me back here soon enough. Bye for now!" She gave a small wave to the prog, then stepped back a few paces. A moment later the smae column of yellow light whisked her away.

----------
((To => Her home))

((From => Other Errands))
----------

A pale yellow beam dropped Lyntael into the warmer Netfrican environment that surrounded Wrangler's booth and she immediately began to feel like she was going to start sweating again in the dry heat. It was a good thing her clothes were made to be light and breezy - though the thought did occur to her that she was going right back to the misty north again soon, if the network space there was anything like its real world counterpart. She brushed the thoughts aside and darted up to the counter with a few light steps, looking for the wrangler prog, and gave him a small wave.

"Hi again! I was wondering if you had anything that needed extra hands in the netopia networks today? Ah, rogue layer, it'll be, please."

The prog would quickly turn around, having been doing something behind the booth, jumping up with a startled yipe. "Oh dear! You startled me! Was just taking some notes down about virus populations! Anyways, y'all wanted Rogue? Gimmie a sec..." He continued, a ticker next to him spitting out a list for Lyntael to look at. "Pick one'a them and we can square y'all away! Hopefully ONE of them is in Netopia!"

RedDevilRedDevil (Shadow)

Shadows do not dodge, and they only move by teleporting before and after attacking an enemy. Shadows have permanent Shadow, except in their bladed weapon forms. Teleporting before and after their attacks does not require an action. Shadow viruses assume the form of bladed weapons when they attack. Shadows attack a single target only each turn, and will attack that target as many times as they have actions. They will only abort their attack if the target is defeated before the turn ends, at which time they will teleport back to their staring position and float there passively until the next turn. The range and reach of their attacks depends upon the type of weapon they become when attacking, and the accuracy of their attack depends on where they attack from. Attacks from in front of the target are C-Rank, sides are B-Rank, and back-attacks are A-Rank.

Handy2Handy2 (Handy)

Handy Viruses attack by opening a dimensional gate below themselves, and dropping into it. The exit gate opens next to their destination, and they will rise out of it holding an explosive. This explosive is placed on an unbroken panel, and the Handy is free to move after. The use of gates does not count as teleporting, but can be used as a means of dodging as they attack. Gates are only used when attacking, and at no other time. Handy viruses will not set a new explosive until either a turn has passed, or they pass one action without setting a new bomb, whichever comes first. For more info on the bombs Handy viruses use, see below.

ThunderDragon2ThunderDragon2 (ThunderDragon)

This high tier virus is only encountered after battle 5. A PotDragon's pot is stationary during battle, as it remains above the panel the virus appeared on until battle is over or the virus is deleted, and will not fall even if the panel below it should be destroyed. PotDragons have two main attacks, each geared towards either ground or aerial targets. When executed, the pot tilts or falls over, and the dragon charges at the enemy before looping back and returning to the pot. When threatened, they will duck into the pot, which is both indestructible and capable of shielding them from all damage and effects except those that manage to fly into the mouth of the pot. Even Beam Attacks and Blast damage won't leave a mark.

FlashorFlashor (Flashy)

This virus is only encountered on battle 6 or later. This virus has the ability to fly, and its presence on or near panels does not trigger traps or cause panels to break. It is also more difficult to bury or submerge this virus. The virus is smart enough to counter a long-range attack it can see by teleporting out of the way and attacking. It does not do this at close range, and opts to dodge normally and attack with RingZap instead.

Duration: One to Two turns.
Element: Aqua
Special: This chip attacks indiscriminately, and can harm the user or allies if used carelessly.
Trader Rank: B
Honeybomber2Honeybomber2 (Honeybomber)

Honeybomber viruses do not dodge, as they instead counter attack against hits taken. They are actually capable of moving from place to place with great speed, but rarely chose to do so. When they do move, it is always to interpose themselves between an opponent and one of their allies, although this doesn't always happen. Honeybombers only attack when struck by an attack, and even then, only if they survive the hit. This counter attack is not prevented by Impact, and may execute the same number of times as a Honeybomber has actions in one turn. The Honeybomber may elect to target different enemies for follow-up swarm launches after the first target has been attacked once that turn. While Honeybombers do have OmniShoes, and are constantly flying above the ground, they still enjoy the benefits of wood-based terrain regardless of altitude.

Area: Dentech, Yumland

Special: Status Guard: This chip blocks debuffs.

CannonGuard2CannonGuard2 (CannonGuard)

CannonGuards are automatically in guard mode unless they are attacking. When guarding, the turret is protected by a shutter that will stop any and all non-breaking attacks from the front. This shutter cannot be destroyed, even by a breaking attack, so long as the virus exists. The shutter does not protect the turret portion of the virus against attacks from the back or sides. The base of the virus is also immune to non-breaking damage.

Trader Rank: C

Lyntael flipped the print out around to look at it, then glanced up at the Wrangler again with a soft frown on her features.

"You're the expert, aren't you? Can't you tell me what needs taking care of in the place I'm going?" She sighed and studied the sheet again. Progs would be progs, and eccentricity seemed to run strongly in many of them. What would she be likely to find... One hand rose unconsciously to nestle against her chest, rubbing with her knuckles just below her emblem as she thought about it. Netopia as a network wasn't strongly elementally aligned, as far as she recalled... so it would be less likely to be any of the obvious elemental viruses, maybe. Something neutral and common might be her best bet to find it where she was heading. It would be wonderful if he'd just tell her 'hey, there's been an outbreak of bunnies over there', or something. She shook her head and brushed the thought away. The prog had his system and she wasn't going to change it.

"Umm... Let's go with.... The Handy bounty?" As she peeked up at the prog from the list, turning her head and lifting an eyebrow a she looked for some kind of hint that she was on the right track.

"Sorry 'bout that, I don't exactly getta choose what viruses come up! Its a whole thing and not much can be done about it. ANYWAYS. Here's ya list!" He spoke, as a second ticker would come out for Lyntael, a list of rewards and kill counts.

"Here ya go! Y'know the deal, two virus kills and ya can come back for a new one, more gives ya increased rewards up to and including the next chip tier up! Dunno how they're fundin all'a this, think it's some collaborative world-wide gubbernment thing, they always seem to have infinite money."

The answer was about as she'd suspected, and Lyntael nodded with mild relief as she read the bounty hunting areas for the virus she'd picked. That meant there would be an upsurge of them where she was going, provided Rogan had her in network spaces that weren't completely sterilised. She collected the print out and converted it quickly to a slim string of data that slipped away up her arm and across to her emblem, then nodded once more to the Wrangler

"Alright, wish me luck then!" She stepped back from the counter and waved, before stepping to the nearby transit and disappearing in a soft yellow beam.

----------
((To => Covert Reconnaissance))

((From => Stormy Weather))
----------

As the light beam that delivered Lyntael to the netfrican bounty stand withdrew, it left a girl clearly preoccupied with her own thoughts. She approached the small stall with a furrowed brow, but took a breath and focused herself after another moment, offering her usual smile and small wave to the Wrangler at last.

"Hey, I just need to end the bounty I've had active. It was for Handy viruses, the rogue variant. I should have five on record... just in zenny please." Despite the smile, her voice still gave signs that she had a lot else on her mind, but she clasped her hands politely in front of her and waited for the prog to confirm and process the request.

The sole prog had been caught asleep at the register, but immediately woke up as Lyntael had come to him asking for her bounty. "Wawawawa. S-sorry b'out that puddin, been a bit slow these past few days!" He quickly spoke, readjusting the hat on his head really quick, clearing his throat. "Ah, five ah them? Sounds good to me, let me just hit this..." He continued as he hit something underneath the desk, a small bag containing her rewards soon dropping from the sky onto the counter in front of her. "Count em up, should be fourty-two hundrid there to the last zenny! Please come again!"

(Bounty reward: 1200z, 3000z)

For a moment, Lyntael watched with morbid fascination as the poorly-clipped hat graphic was readjusted, before she acknowledged the wrangler's payment and reached out one hand to draw it to her as a slim data string.

"Thanks again, nothing else for now, but I'm sure I'll be back later!" She offered a small wave along with a smile then darted back to the nearby exit pad.

----------
((Lyntael, Branch Back => The Navi Shop))

((From => Convenient Tides))
----------

For once, the light beam that deposited Lyntael at the entry point not far from Wrangler was a clear and solid yellow colour without flickering or stutter. The girl that emerged paused for several long moments regardless, not in pain or discomfort this time, but just to close her eyes and breath in the dry nefrican air and feel the bright sun on her skin. After a second or two, Lyntael stretched and opened her eyes, offering a small wave and a smile to the Wrangler prog as she approached.

"Hi again, just me. Have to sort myself out a bit and do some more training, so, I thought I'd just ask if there was anything that needed special attention of while I was out there. Um, I'll be in the Rogue networks today, please." She gave another small grin and waited, hands clasped neatly behind her as she watched him.

The prog would let out a wide yawn as he came up from under his post having taken a little nap in the warm weather this day. "Aaaaaah. Howdy young lady! Sorry, was takin a li'l nap since it's been slow. You sayin ya wanted rogues? Alright, let me juuuuust..." He spoke a little tiredly, but with enthusiasm all the same, a list slowly printing out for Lyn as he handed it off to her. "Here y'all go! Have a look and see what takes yer fancy!"

CrazyRazy2CrazyRazy2 (CrazyRazy)

Unlike the original, this form of CrazyRazy completely forgoes legs, existing solely as its top half. It is capable of carrying one other virus on top of itself without penalty, aside from either it or the other virus using an action to board it.

VinerViner (Viney)

Viney viruses do not move or dodge. Viney viruses require the presence of Grass, Soil, or Mud terrain in order to appear in battle, and they always appear on these terrain types. Vineys are rooted in place, and cannot be moved. The main body of a Viney is immune to any and all forms of attack except fire element damage, but the vines the viruses uses to attack with are vulnerable to all attacks. The virus attacks by using a group of thorny vines to creep up out of a nearby panel, then move towards the victim in hopes of capturing them. Once the vines make contact, they wrap around the victim, and hold them in place while causing damage. The vines can only be escaped from by the target if the target dedicates an action with decent roleplay attempting to escape. The vines may also be cut or burned in order to allow the target to escape, but in the case of fire, the target sustains double the fire damage of the attack used to burn the vines. Summoning the group of vines requires an action, moving the vines requires an action, and damage is dealt to a captured target for each action the Viney spends trying to hold the target in place. Both the vines and the virus itself are damage zones. Any damage either one sustains counts against the virus' HP. Both are subject to terrain effects and those effects stack as if the virus were in two places at the same time (because it basically is).

Area: Okuden Valley, Yumland, Netfrica, Dentech

HP: 160
Attack Damage/Effect: 30 Wood + Bind
Attack Accuracy: A
Attack Description: Seeks and wraps enemies by sticking writhing vines through the ground.
Element: Wood
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): Rope2, Zenny
Special: Bind: This is a virus-only form of instantly-activating Hold that does not count as a status effect (thus cannot be removed with status cure). Bind works on a per-action basis, instead of per-turn, and is maintained by physical contact with the source. A target suffering the effects of Bind also becomes weak to Fire. Bind is canceled by attacking the source with Fire or Slashing damage, or spending one or more actions to escape with good RP quality. Using Fire to remove the Bind source also damages the trapped victim.
Special: Immobile.
- Vines can be attacked for damage. (Viney) - Rope2Damage: 70 + Hold + Ground Attack
Accuracy: A
Description: A vine sprouts from the ground to grab and damage an enemy for three turns. Can be destroyed with Slashing or Fire attacks, or other RP-based solutions. Destroying the vine instantly ends its effects.

ShellnerdShellnerd (ShellGeek)

Shellgeeks alternate actions between attacking and guarding. These are the only actions Shellgeeks may perform, and the first action of every battle is always guarding. Shellgeeks will not break from this pattern unless forced to by status effects. The secondary attack of Shellgeeks can be used to grant an ally of this virus a free movement, or even to knock an ally out of the path of an oncoming attack.

WuLongWuLong (WuNote)

This virus moves and dodges solely by teleport-swapping with summoned bush objects. It may summon these objects anywhere on the field, but prefers to summon them upon solid or semi-solid ground before liquids. If most or all of the field is composed of non-solid terrain, this virus will use PanelReturn as a free action one time. If confronted with full lava stage, this virus will flee immediately.

Special: Auto-SlowGauge: When this virus is on the field, it automatically causes all enemies to be Slowed by 10%. This effect counts towards and is limited by the max of -20% from Slow. This may prevent Self-Slow nerfed signatures from operating, as this effect takes priority.

Properties: Light, StoneBody, WoodBody

Super-X2Super-X2 (Super-X)

The Super-X series of viruses are miniature super robots, all generally humanoid in appearance, but not reaching any higher than 3 feet tall or so. A Super's armor plating is fairly complete, with the only gaps being at the joints to allow for mobility. The inner machinery that can be seen at the joints is a dark gray, while the armor color is dependent on the version. Super-1 is the standard model with white armor, while Super-2 is the speedy model with blue, lightweight armor and Super-3 is the strong model with red, heavyweight armor. Super-Omega is the same as Super-1 in terms of design, but its armor is pure black. All Supers have yellow, opaque visors for eyes, secured by a finned crest that reaches around their heads. Supers don't have any immediately visible weapons, but that is a mere formality because a full arsenal of beam weaponry is stored within their bodies.

Trader Rank: C
SnoozierSnoozier (Snoozy)

Snoozy are about 2 feet tall, and are shaped like a white translucent blob of goo, forming a basic head, body, and arm, with the body trailing behind. The head has an oversized nightcap covering most of it, colored dark blue, with white dots as stars. The end of the nightcap has a hanging moon from it. The lone arm carries a thick white pillow by the corner, with some down leaking out of a tear. The coloring scheme of its main body changes with its version. Snoozier are red, and Snooziest are blue. A menacing black Snoozy DS has an additional feature of serrated teeth forming a giant jaw. EX forms are darker shades of their originals. Snoozy attack by flailing their white pillows around and spreading their apparent sleepiness around. They start their attack by teleporting up to their targets. The teleport counts as a dodge if utilized correctly. They then teleport back to their original spot, and do not move otherwise. They may use their secondary full-heal at any time, though they are more likely to do so when they are injured. Snoozy viruses only appear when there is cover to hide behind, and will stay behind this cover for the entirety of the battle except to attack. They will not appear otherwise. If their cover is destroyed, they will attempt to flee starting next turn if they do not have a specified object chip to be dispensed first.

WaterDragon2WaterDragon2 (WaterDragon)

This high tier virus is only encountered after battle 5. A PotDragon's pot is stationary during battle, as it remains above the panel the virus appeared on until battle is over or the virus is deleted, and will not fall even if the panel below it should be destroyed. PotDragons have two main attacks, each geared towards either ground or aerial targets. When executed, the pot tilts or falls over, and the dragon charges at the enemy before looping back and returning to the pot. When threatened, they will duck into the pot, which is both indestructible and capable of shielding them from all damage and effects except those that manage to fly into the mouth of the pot. Even Beam Attacks and Blast damage won't leave a mark.

The head is the only part of the virus that can take damage, while the body segments are invincible. The virus is able to defend against attacks from up to two directions at a time by positioning the 3 parts of its body in various formations. Any Non-AoE or Non-Phasing attack that hits a body segment is completely stopped, and has no effect whatsoever. Attacks with area effect can still hit the head even if they strike the body first, and phasing attacks pass right through the body as if it were made of objects. An Anaconda's own attacks can always phase through its own body.
