DragonierMan's Virus Hunt

Beam of light and both Nightshade and Yumi dropped in the lobby where the hunter prog was. Apparently Drago said it would be best to get a bounty thing before going out busting. He never got a bounty before, but if his dad said it was necessary, it would mean it was indeed necessary.

DragonierMan, Magistrate, Suzume, and Aya appeared through a doorway of light from their White Tower base. They approached the Wrangler Bounty Booth as a group. "Greetings Wrangler. What bounties do you have for the Normal Net area today?

[Requesting Bounty List for Normal NET.]

"howdy there, cowpokes! goin' out to wrangle some viral varmints together are ya?" The ever boisterous prog greeted the small group of navis and SPs that approached him together. "Safety in numbers, as they say. Hope ya get out there and bring in a big haul! Let's see what critters we've got causing a ruckus out there today..."

After a moment or two of bobbing in place, bright smiling expression unflinching as it continued to stare at the assembled programs, a stream of paper began to print out from underneath his hat, fluttering in sections to the counter.

"That's one fer you, and one fer you!" The two sheets settled, with no real indication which one was for whom - it seemed they'd be more or less free to take one each.

Normal Wrangling List 1:

HeatJellyHeatJelly (HeatJelly)

HeatJelly are floating, jellyfish-like viruses, that seem to simply float nonchalantly, yet are deceptively difficult to combat. Fortunately, their rarity ensures they they never appear before a Battle 6, and there are never more than 2 in a single battle. While their horizontal movement is terrible at best, they can easily adjust their altitude as needed. By default, however, they tend to hover a couple of feet above the ground. The exception to this is when they attack. HeatJelly attack by launching large waves of magma at enemies The attack cycle of HeatJelly is 2 actions long. It requires one action to charge before firing. If they are stunned or otherwise temporarily disabled, they resume their attack cycle where it was halted once the stun wears off. When they attack, they drop to the ground in order to pump out as much liquid as possible. This allows them to harness the power of certain kinds of terrain to boost their attacks, but it also makes them immobile and vulnerable to ground-based attacks for the duration.

Area: Hades Isle

HP: 220
Attack Damage/Effect: 30 Fire + Ground Attack + Wide Attack + Lava Terrain Boost 20 + 1 action charge
Attack Accuracy: A
Attack Description: It charges itself with innate elemental energy, then launches a hard-to-avoid wall of magma at enemies. The attack is stronger if performed over Lava terrain.
Element: Fire
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): RedWave1 (Rare), Zenny
Special: OmniShoes
Special: This virus can move forward, backward, or to the side, but it does this so slowly that it cannot evade attacks this way.
Special: This virus can move up and down at high speed in order to avoid attacks while charging. While they can float fairly high, they cannot achieve High Altitude status.
Special: This virus is anchored and cannot move when attacking. (HeatJelly) - RedWave1Damage: 50 + Ground Attack + To-All-Clause (Others) + Lava Terrain Boost 50
Accuracy: B
Description: Creates a wave of lava to burn everything and everyone other than the user, even their allies. Can be jumped over, but requires perfect timing. More effective if there is lava in the vicinity to fuel it.
Duration: Once
Element: Fire
Trader Rank: D (Rare)
RaiderRaider (Raider)

A large black sphere, with 4 mechanical, spider-like legs. It attacks by forming a large hammer atop its head/body, then somehow swinging it without any apparent body motion.
Raider does two things: it draws near, and attacks. In a battle, this is done by Feinting to get close to its target without completely sacrificing self-preservation, then smacking them hard with a hammer. It always alternates between these two, and almost never strays for this pattern: however, if it is completely incapable of harming any enemies for some reason, it will dodge to buy time for the enemy to become vulnerable. Which action it starts with depends on its initial position, as it will attack if it's already close, without bothering to feint.

Area: Netopia, Hades Isle, NetVegas

HP: 130
Attack Damage/Effect: 30 Null + Break + Impact / 20 Null + Drop Attack
Attack Accuracy: B / D
Attack Description: Swings a hammer with such force, that it displaces nearby debris, which is sent flying skyward and dropped onto another enemy.
Element: Null
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): GodHammer1, Zenny
Special: The second part of the attack does not trigger if the hammer's target is not grounded. It also must hit a different target from the hammer. For clarity's sake, it may hit nothing if there are no other valid targets. (Raider) - GodHammer1Damage: 100 + Break + Impact / 50 + Drop Attack
Accuracy: C / D
Description: A hammer strike with immense force, that disquiets nearby earth, sends it skyward, and down upon another target.
Duration: Once
Element: Null
Special: The second part of this attack does not trigger if the hammer's target is not grounded. It also must hit a different target from the hammer. For clarity's sake, it may hit nothing if the user chooses.
Trader Rank: D
SpidySpidy (Spider)

Spider viruses attack by setting webs on panels, objects, and other handy surfaces. The webs may even be strung between surfaces, such as blocking doorways. Anything that touches the webs triggers them detaching from whatever surface they were attached to and wrapping around the target. The webs cause a slow effect, as well as dealing damage for every action the target uses to dodge the following turn unless the webs are burned off, cut off, or removed by some other means. Status cure will not remove the webs, or the slow effect they generate. Spiders do not attack directly, and they may lay one panel's worth of webbing each turn for every action they possess. They may lay webs while moving. Spiders are immune to the effects of ANY WhiteWeb attacks, be they generated by Spider viruses or from battlechips. Webbing causes the target to become weak to fire, thus the next fire attack will deal double damage if the webs have not been removed first.

Area: Okuden Valley, Dentech, Yumland, Netfrica, NetVegas

HP: 80
Attack Damage/Effect: 20 Wood + Slow (Web) / 5 Wood (Dodge w/ Web)

Duration: One turn
Element: Wood
Special: Snare: A combination of Hold, Grapple, and Trap effects. However, in exchange for RP versatility, the chip can backfire depending upon RP. Nullify cancels Snare. Snared targets can be set on fire for an extra 1x base fire damage, though the target will be free of Snare the following turn.
Trader Rank: D
NightmareNightmare (Nightmare)

Nightmare viruses only appear in battle when Missing Terrain is present, and only one Nightmare may appear per panel of Missing Terrain. Nightmares do not dodge, and they only move by teleporting before and after attacking an enemy. Nightmares have permanent Shadow, unless they are attacking. Teleporting before and after their attacks does not require an action. They will always end a turn while floating over Missing or Hole Terrain. If the Hole terrain is altered in any way, they will instantly teleport to unoccupied Missing Terrain. Nightmares cannot share ownership of a Missing Panel with other viruses that require Missing Terrain to be on the field. If for any reason there is not enough Missing Terrain to accommodate a Nightmare at the end of a turn, the Nightmare will Escape from the battle immediately.

Area: Sharo, Hades Isle, NAXA, NetVegas

HP: 100
Attack Damage/Effect: 20 Null + Wide Attack + Slashing
Attack Accuracy: B
Attack Description: Attacks at close range with black sword.

GrinnerGrinner (Grinner)

The Grinner virus possesses a body consisting of only one large solar panel, coated in colored metal with a design like a stoic, robotic face. The color of its body varies according to its strength. (yellow/orange/red/purple/blue/green/black). The virus attacks by opening its "mouth" to reveal its panel, then firing a beam of refracted light towards its enemies. When other solar panels are nearby, its attack will magnify additional light and become even more powerful. The Grinner moves very slowly, but is entirely invulnerable to attacks while its mouth is closed. It has been described jokingly as "the energy efficient Dominerd" due to the similarities between the viruses. The virus itself is electric, but its beam burns like fire, so wood navis need be wary.

Area: NAXA, Electown, SciLab

HP: 100
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 20 Fire Shot + Piercing + Solar Terrain Boost 10 + Self-Cancel Body Effects
Primary Attack Accuracy: A
Primary Attack Description: Fires a scorching beam of refracted, magnified light. The beam deals extra damage when fired by a Grinner floating over solar terrain.

Trader Rank: D
GreengonGreengon (Greengon)

Greengons do not appear before Battle 6. They are extremely territorial among their own kind, so only one HoleDragon can appear per battle. Because they live among holes, they cannot appear without at least 5% Missing terrain.

Area: Yumland

HP: 200

Special: Wind Type: This chip counts as Wind Type for the purposes of Wind triggered effects, such as traps and terrain.
Trader Rank: C (Rare)
CraggerCragger (Cragger)

Craggers are pretty easy targets, given their size. They also move very rarely, and when they do they move slowly. Their dodge rate is abysmal. They generally rely on their HardBody defense, which reduces non-break damage by half, but doubles break damage. They have high attack power and AoE, but their accuracy is generally bad as their attacks are easy to follow and take time to deliver. Their attack is executed as a Drop Attack, and thus attacks from above, and not head-on. Targets caught underground within this attack's AoE range take an additional 50 Null damage that ignores all defenses.

Area: Netopia, Sharo, Hades Isle

HP: 120
Attack Damage/Effect: 30 Null + Break + Panel Break + WideAttack

Duration: Once
Element: Null
Trader Rank: D
TotemTotem (Totem)

Totems always begin in attack mode. They switch modes (spin around) when they take damage. Mode switching is automatic, and doesn't require an action. When hit with a Multi-Hit attack, the Totems will switch modes for however many times they are hit. An even number of hits will result in no change, and an odd number of hits will leave the Totems on the opposite mode. Multi-Hit attacks happen quickly enough that the Totems will not take an action in between the multiple mode changes.

Area: Yumland, Netfrica

HP: 80
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 20 Fire + LineAttack(3)

Trader Rank: D
HandyHandy (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.

GunnerGunner (Gunner)

Gunners attack every action, if able. They don't bother attacking enemies they can't hit or enemies they can't damage, but they can select Objects as targets.

Their faces are mostly nondescript, aside from their always closed eyes, and beak-like nose. They have no visible mouth, though from somewhere beneath their nose, they appear to be chewing on a bamboo shoot. Their bodies appear to be simple gowns, decorated with swirls. This virus is normally no more or less aggressive than most viruses, but if the enemy is using exclusively/near exclusively Shot or Thrown type attacks, it will attack more frequently, knowing that its attack will help protect it from them.

NullNull (Null&Void)

Null&Void viruses are extremely dangerous top tier viruses. No player should encounter one until at least battle 6. Null&Void viruses move and dodge at an average rate by walking normally, but they also teleport before and after executing their melee attack. They regenerate half of their HP every action and their vortexes have the ability to instantly destroy objects and EJO or delete victims instantly with Gravity Crush. Their strategy revolves entirely around forcing an enemy into a vortex, and their attack choices will always be something that furthers that goal if possible. If not, they will settle for using objects and the terrain to damage or hinder the enemy. They are intelligent enough to use their abilities to cause a great deal more havoc than the average virus.

Area: Sharo, NAXA

HP: 100
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: Set 2x Panel Trap: (10 Aqua + Gravity Crush 50 + Object Erasure)
Primary Attack Accuracy: E
Primary Attack Description: Automatically creates two whirlpools on the field. Each whirlpool takes up one panel, and remains there until either something moves into it or until the end of the turn, whichever comes first. This attack may only be executed once per turn at the beginning of every turn, and does not require an action on the part of the virus. Whirlpools never appear over Missing Terrain and cannot be summoned on Broken Terrain. Terrain changes have no effect on whirlpools, at all, as they have been known to float in mid air over even Broken Panels once they have been summoned.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: (Teleport) then (10 Aqua + Impact + Knockback)
Secondary Attack Accuracy: B
Secondary Attack Description: Teleports next to an enemy or object, and pushes them suddenly. If it is an enemy, they will try to push them into the nearest Whirlpool, or at least towards it. If it is an Object, the virus will push it at the nearest enemy. They teleport back to their starting position after the attack ends.
Tertiary Attack Damage/Effect: 10 Aqua + Piercing + Altitude Change
Tertiary Attack Accuracy: D
Tertiary Attack Description: Generates a gravity ball and throws it in a straight line. The gravity ball travels slowly, but will pass through anything that stands in its path.

PiranhaPiranha (Piranha)

Piranha viruses work as a hive-mind. They all move at the same time, attempt to detect targets at the same time, and once a targets is detected by any of them, they all attack that one target at the same time. Moving and searching for targets takes one action. Attacking takes another. Any Piranha just recovering from a status effect that prevents normal operation will resume acting in unison with the rest of the group.

NightmareNightmare (Nightmare)

Nightmare viruses only appear in battle when Missing Terrain is present, and only one Nightmare may appear per panel of Missing Terrain. Nightmares do not dodge, and they only move by teleporting before and after attacking an enemy. Nightmares have permanent Shadow, unless they are attacking. Teleporting before and after their attacks does not require an action. They will always end a turn while floating over Missing or Hole Terrain. If the Hole terrain is altered in any way, they will instantly teleport to unoccupied Missing Terrain. Nightmares cannot share ownership of a Missing Panel with other viruses that require Missing Terrain to be on the field. If for any reason there is not enough Missing Terrain to accommodate a Nightmare at the end of a turn, the Nightmare will Escape from the battle immediately.

A bluish space rock with a diameter of around two feet, that is always giving off a soft glow. Lunaroid NEVER appears without an accompanying Solarite. Multiple Lunaroid may appear, but there will also be multiple Solarite with them.

Viruses on both lists: Nightmare

"We have a wide selection of environments to choose from for our hunt," Magi said at the end of the analysis. "Though we also have a common element between both lists, the Nightmare virus," she added. Aya snarled. "That's a tough one. But even though it would be in greater numbers due to its proliferation, I think we should be able to handle it," she said. "There are so many," Suzume gasped, referring to the number of different viruses propagating like mad across the NET. "We've been slacking in our duties it seems," she admitted.

DragonierMan turned to Nightshade and Yumi. "Well kids, what do you feel like hunting today? Do you have your eyes set on something in specific, a location in mind, or do you think we can take down those Nightmares?" he asked.

YurtYurt (Yort)

Yort viruses are dangerous top-tier viruses, and should only appear starting at battle 6 or later in any given thread. They move and dodge at high speed, and possess OmniShoes. In addition to this, Yorts are able to block enemy attacks with their own attack: the Yo-Yo. Any non-breaking attack that strikes the Yo-Yo is nullified instantly, and the Yo-Yo is neither slowed nor stopped by them. Thus, head-to-head combat against Yorts is suicide unless the opponent is able to produce a Break attack of 40 or more damage to destroy the Yo-yo. Yorts cannot regenerate a destroyed Yo-Yo, and are completely helpless without it. If a Yort is deprived of its weapon, it will Escape after 2 turns. Yorts cannot damage other Yorts. If two Yo-yos collide in mid-air, they mutually annihilate each other. Yorts can't move while attacking. Yort attacks are faster than the battlechip version of Yo-Yo and have greater range, but have a tiny delay before the attack in exchange. Yo-Yos are immune to every effect (including Glitch) except Break. AoE effects can reach past a Yo-Yo, but do nothing to stop it. Yo-Yos self destruct if the Yort that fired them is deleted.

Area: Netopia, Beach, NAXA, NetVegas

HP: 150
Attack Damage/Effect: 20 Null x 3 Hits + Slashing

GloomerGloomer (Boomer)

Boomers cannot be damaged from any direction in the forward hemisphere so long as they carry their boomerang. Any attacks from the rear hemisphere or Break attacks hit normally. Boomers launch their boomerang when they attack, leaving themselves open to counter attacks. Boomers move by floating through the air, and are immune to the effects of Anchor. They are, however, still subject to the effects of terrain. They cannot be forced to submerge into liquid terrain, nor can they be buried in solid terrain. Boomers are horrible at dodging, as they generally rely on their Rang-Guard ability.

DarkMechs move and dodge at an average rate, usually. The exception is that they move at a very high rate of speed when they are rushing in to attack a stunned target with their twin swords.

LizeggLizegg (Cregg)

The Cregg version is a brown scaly egg with red spots. Most notably, it possesses a long gray tail that extends from a crack in the egg's rear, which is constantly on fire. It moves around by emitting flames from cracks in the scaly shell, trying to hit an enemy. The Lizegg is the same, but grows four gray scaly legs and feet that pop out of the egg and two holes at the front for two shining yellow eyes. It retains the tail from its weaker form, though the flames are a bit more intense. The egg grows slightly. Its scales also become stronger which allows it to pop back in for a defensive action. The Raptegg's hind legs grow more so it can stand on them. Its head, similar to that of a raptor but gray, pops out of the egg too and a long gray scaly tail that moves behind him frantically, which is covered in roaring fire. The egg grows slightly again. Same as the Lizegg, it can also pop everything back in for a defensive action, though it is better than its lower version at this.

CannonGuardCannonGuard (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.

SlimeySlimey (Slimey)

Slimey viruses were produced to be sources of major traffic lag. While a Slimey virus is on the battlefield, all Navis and SPs suffer from a passive Slow-like effect that imposes a -10% Evasion AND Movement Speed penalty. This effect is not a status ailment, and cannot be cured. This effect does not stack with itself if more than one Slimey is on the field at once. As this does not count as a true Slow effect, up to two instances of Slow may stack on top of this effect for a total penalty of -30% Evasion/Movement Speed. This effect expires when all Slimey viruses on the field are deleted or flee. Slimey viruses are very slow to move and dodge, but every move they make that is not a dodge counts as an attack. Slimeys deal damage by touching an opponent, thus touching a Slimey directly results in damage to any non-Slimey the virus considers hostile.

Area: Sharo, NetVegas, Beach

Trader Rank: D
SpidySpidy (Spider)

Spider viruses attack by setting webs on panels, objects, and other handy surfaces. The webs may even be strung between surfaces, such as blocking doorways. Anything that touches the webs triggers them detaching from whatever surface they were attached to and wrapping around the target. The webs cause a slow effect, as well as dealing damage for every action the target uses to dodge the following turn unless the webs are burned off, cut off, or removed by some other means. Status cure will not remove the webs, or the slow effect they generate. Spiders do not attack directly, and they may lay one panel's worth of webbing each turn for every action they possess. They may lay webs while moving. Spiders are immune to the effects of ANY WhiteWeb attacks, be they generated by Spider viruses or from battlechips. Webbing causes the target to become weak to fire, thus the next fire attack will deal double damage if the webs have not been removed first.

Trader Rank: D
ElebeeElebee (Elebee)

Elebee viruses move and dodge at a high rate of speed, and they are fully flight capable. Elebee viruses attack by flying at their target at high speed, and delivering an electric sting. This type of virus may opt to stop short of the target, and veer sharply in a new direction to avoid an attack. This requires the expenditure of a second action, but occurs very rapidly regardless. Movement and attacking are one and the same with regards to this virus, thus physical contact with them causes damage. Elebees can see through Invis.

NullNull (Null&Void)

Null&Void viruses are extremely dangerous top tier viruses. No player should encounter one until at least battle 6. Null&Void viruses move and dodge at an average rate by walking normally, but they also teleport before and after executing their melee attack. They regenerate half of their HP every action and their vortexes have the ability to instantly destroy objects and EJO or delete victims instantly with Gravity Crush. Their strategy revolves entirely around forcing an enemy into a vortex, and their attack choices will always be something that furthers that goal if possible. If not, they will settle for using objects and the terrain to damage or hinder the enemy. They are intelligent enough to use their abilities to cause a great deal more havoc than the average virus.

Area: Sharo, NAXA

HP: 100
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: Set 2x Panel Trap: (10 Aqua + Gravity Crush 50 + Object Erasure)
Primary Attack Accuracy: E
Primary Attack Description: Automatically creates two whirlpools on the field. Each whirlpool takes up one panel, and remains there until either something moves into it or until the end of the turn, whichever comes first. This attack may only be executed once per turn at the beginning of every turn, and does not require an action on the part of the virus. Whirlpools never appear over Missing Terrain and cannot be summoned on Broken Terrain. Terrain changes have no effect on whirlpools, at all, as they have been known to float in mid air over even Broken Panels once they have been summoned.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: (Teleport) then (10 Aqua + Impact + Knockback)
Secondary Attack Accuracy: B
Secondary Attack Description: Teleports next to an enemy or object, and pushes them suddenly. If it is an enemy, they will try to push them into the nearest Whirlpool, or at least towards it.

They are circled by two loose chains of large rocks. All other viruses in the vicinity orbit the BigBang in a circular pattern, slightly improving their dodge (+1 rank).

TwinsTwins (Twins)

Twins viruses appear only in linked pairs, and never in odd numbers. A linked pair of Twins viruses will only link to each other, and not with any other Twins viruses present. The linked pairs are always clustered close together, and move by revolving around each other, which makes them susceptible to AoE. If one of the linked pair is deleted, and the other is not, then the virus that was deleted is revived as a free action immediately after. Both must be deleted within the span of one turn to be truly defeated. Twins viruses act in the following manner: One Twins will attack while the other moves. They then swap roles the next action, with the second virus attacking while the first moves. The virus making the move is counted as making a Dodge. The pattern is not altered even if a Twins is deleted and resurrected. They simply carry on next action as if nothing happened.

Any Non-AoE or Non-Phasing attack that hits a body segment is completely stopped, and has no effect whatsoever.

DragonierMan took a look through both lists. "Looks like Powies are on both menus. I think we should take the Powie bounty," he said as he pointed to the picture of a Powie. "Where should we hunt though... Beach or Netopia?" he asked Nightshade and Yumi.

Nightshade looked at his dad and shrugged. "Whatever works. Beach though would be favorable terrain to us." He stated, taking a bounty from the table.

"Well, wherever ya kill em at, be careful! Them varmints ain't exactly a cakewalk! Anyways, since the two of ya'll seem to be willing to share the same bounty, you'll be gettin em at double the time! So congrats on yer friendship! And here's yer list of potentials and all'a that!" He yammered before printing out two of the exact same bounty sheet for the two to take for their bounty hunting. "Shame I can't offer ya more for em, but rules is rules!"

"Okay! We'll head out first. Finish any shopping you need and we'll meet you there," DragonierMan said to Nightshade as he opened a portal to Beach Net and stepped through with his three SPs.

DragonierMan and the rest of his group returned to the Wrangler booth. Drago placed his fat bounty sheet on the table. "I'd like it all in cold hard cash please."

[Bounty: Powie (Powie) - 10 Kills: (400+1000+1600=) 3000z.]

Trader Rank: Ds already from previous conquests, does he really need a third? I'd suggest taking the money," she suggested.

"Maybe he wants them for trade," Suzume suggested. Then smiled and clapped her hands as she thought of something funny. "Or maybe he is going to fill his folder with them and release a swarm onto the battlefield whenever he fights!"

Aya's eyes almost rolled out of her head, so hard did they roll.

A portal popped out and a rather unusual Nightshade gracefully landed on all fours down on the ground. He was...well...rather default looking. No aya armor. No suzume ninja outfit. No Yumi armor either. Instead, he was back to his old self. Half bodysuit, black with a white belly, feet paws, paw padded gloves, long thin tail. Nighty was back to his regular kitty self. Well kinda. First, he barely made any sound when walking. Aya's training had had its results. His eyes thiugh...were still that greyish blue from before.

He went up to the counter and settled his bounty on the table, sneaking his other, free paw into Dragodad's hand. His expression was by now an open book for his sisters. Littlenighty was thinking something.

"I would like uuuh...zenny compensation rather than chips doubles. I can use that to fund myself a better folder.." He stated,.

Yumi would suddenly emerge from Suzume's shadow and silently prowl to Magistrate's side.

"Alrighty partners!" The Wrangler would happily pipe up as he brought up a pair of brown paper bags for both Dragonier and Nightshade, the paper bags full of zenny for the two to take. "Come back soon, we always need more varmants cleaned up and you two are good hunters!"

Dragonierman Get: 3000z
Nightshade Get: 3000z

DragonierMan's large hand cupped Nightshade's paw as he reached forward and took his rewards with his other hand. "Good choice," Aya nodded approvingly. "You can never have enough money for upgrades. They eventually get so expensive you want to punch them in the mouth," Aya grumbled. "Highway robbery if you ask me."

"Now, now, no need to get all riled up," Suzume said, trying to calm her twin. She placed her hands on Aya's shoulders and rocked her jovially. "We should be celebrating our good fortune today. We took in a good haul and had fun with others. I'd say today was a great succ-ack! brr...." Suzu shivered as she felt Yumi emerge from her shadow. "Success," Suzu finished up, as she watched Yumi creep up to Magistrate.

Due to all of them being together, it wasn't hard for Magi to notice Yumi appear. Yumi would most likely see her 'mom' note her in attendance, but not verbally greet her, before turning back to the rest of the group. They hadn't been apart for more than a few minutes at most, so it wasn't as if there was much to say. Magi did stand a little straighter when Yumi took her place at her side. Probably a combination of pride at being joined by her 'daughter', as well as a silent admonishment to Yumi to correct her posture. A proper lady doesn't prowl, she was probably conveying.

Drago stepped back from the counter to get a better look at Nighty. "Back to the standard catsuit huh? Although this one is black and white over the tiger stripes," he noted out loud. He then yawned reflexively, "Aaoohhmm," and shook his head. "Guess I need a nap too," he admitted.

"So what are your plans for the future?" Drago asked, before turning to leave. He waved goodbye to Wrangler as he walked. "I'd think it would do you some good to 'spread your wings' a little and head out into the world to have some fun adventures of your own."

DragonierMan walked up to Wrangler and rapped the tabletop with his knuckles. "I have finally decided to tackle one of the hardest layers of the NET. Get me a Bounty list for Chaos NET!"
