"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

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.

Element: Wood
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): WoodNose2, Zenny
Special: Two 40HP bushes appear on the field with this virus at the start of battle.
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.

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.

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.

Anaconda-F2Anaconda-F2 (Anaconda-F)

This virus is only encountered after battle 5. Limit 1 per battle. Each Anaconda is divided into 3 disconnected parts: the head, and two spiked tail sections: each of which takes up one entire panel. 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.

The list that printed out was much like the others she'd seen, and Lyntael accepted it with one hand and started to scan her eyes down the names. she wasn't really sure if the upsurge being reported would be present at all in the far distant network she was going to - but as far as the programs that monitored most beach-side networks the world over all connected, there as probably a chance that viral issues cold spread in similar ways. If not, then she just wouldn't see them, though, so, it probably wasn't too big of an issue. This was more about confirming Rogan's contact than actually getting a bounty to hunt. She turned the list back to the wrangler and pointed to one of them.

"I'll work on this one, please. Shellnerds sound like they'd probably be near beaches, I think." Without really thinking about it, she found herslf tilting her head to one side and raising an eyebrow, hoping for a confirmation of her guess.
"Goin to the beach, then? Alrighty, I'll print that reward list out for ya sweetheart!" The prog shouted enthusiastically as he began to print the list out in the same breath, a short, but cohesive list. Ripping it off and handing it to Lyntael, in a single movement. "Y'know the deal sweetie, hit the listed kill goals, minimum of two of course, to get the rewards listed up to that point. Keep vigilant and enjoy the sand beneath your feet! I also hear they don't dredge those nets too often, so hey, you might stumble on some treasure!"

As she accepted the confirmation, it converted swiftly into a slim data string that curled about her fingers and disappeared as it sank into hand. She lifted her other hand to touch gentle fingertips to her chest, in the place where she had once borne a navi emblem, and touched nothing but smooth, soft skin. A thoughtful look flitted across her features before Lyntael looked up again with a brighter smile.

"Thanks! I'm... looking forward to it. I'll be back soon, hopefully." she gave the prog another small wave and stepped back from the booth, then turned towards the transit that would take her back across the ocean to the local net that she hoped wold still be sunny and pleasant, even if it was a deeper net.
