Gittin' it Done

Rayner flashed to the net in a plain beam of white light a mere twenty feet from the little shack that was serving as the stop for all Bounty Hunters. He surveyed the area with a small frown beneath his mask. It was quite warm on this particular net and with his heavy jacket he hoped he wouldn't have to stay long. He strode up to the bounty booth as his skull mask altered its limited expression into something politely neutral.

"Howdy pardner! I heard tell you run an interesting place here. What you got on today's menu for someone on the Normal nets?" There was a touch of mocking in his greeting but it faded to something more neutral towards the end. He wasn't here to incite a fight, it was just natural to start taunting.

Rayner's natural taunting seemed to be passed over by the cowboy-hatted Prog manning the counter, as its smiling face seemed to not change at all. "Howdy! We got a ton of lil' critters runnin' around ready t'be culled, that we do! Check'm out!" the Prog said, hopping in place once, before the stand in front of it started spitting out loud chucking noises, before printing out a small list on a browned piece of paper.

ScarecrowScarecrow (Scarecrow)

Scarecrow attack every action, if able. Every time they attack, they recover HP equal to their attack power regardless of whether or not they hit anything. This virus type also has the rare ability to absorb Elec element damage as healing for the same amount. They are immune to any status effects associated with Elec element damage/attacks. Scarecrows are anchored to the ground, and thus enjoy the effects of SuperArmor. Scarecrow are never encountered underground or indoors.

PengiPengi (Penguin)

Penguin viruses have an ability called Ice Body which acts as Iron Body on Ice terrain only. This effect is bypassed by Break for normal damage, and can only be nullified by changing the terrain to something other than Ice. Penguins move by sliding across the ground quickly, making them faster than average but predictable at the same time. They stop moving in one direction when their momentum gives out, or they run into something. They do not cause damage if they run into someone, but they might knock them backwards.

SnakeArmSnakeArm (SnakeArm)

SnakeArm viruses are among the fastest moving viruses in MMBN, and thus have 2 free Movements each turn. They move by burrowing underground at high speed, and only occasionally pop out of the ground to get their bearings. They just about treat the ground as if it were water, and are normally only hittable by most forms of attack when they are above ground. They are able to move through any kind of terrain with the exception of Cracked, Broken, Missing, Glass, and Metal. They are not subject to the adverse effects of the terrain they are moving through, with the sole exception of Poison. As is normal, Snakearms are subject to damage by Ground attacks, terrain changes, etc while they are burrowed. SnakeArm can attack airborne targets, and their attack can pass over the terrain types they normally cannot burrow or swim through.

"Oh, you really do have quite the list to pick from." Rayner said, some of his surprise obvious in his voice. He had been expecting a list of maybe two or three viruses. Now he felt almost spoiled for choice. He tapped the bottom edge of his mask as he looked over the list. It sounded like he was tapping on ceramic. "Hm, hm, hmmm. I think I'll round up some sheep for you! What can I get for rounding up the Moloko?"

"Moloko, eh? Well, these fluffy lil' property crashers've dang well overrun the networks over at Netopia. Here's what you'll get for rounding 'em up," said Wrangler, with the stall noisily printing out another old-looking sheet of stats, this time listing out reward tiers for however many of the sheep-like viruses Rayner would manage to delete. "Just head on out and delete 'em proper before ya come back, alright?"

The list of rewards was quickly snatched up into Rayner's greedy hands and considered close.  The eyes on his mask grew little dollar signs in the depths as he gave a small nod. "These are some nice rewards. I'll be more than happy  to round up a few of the fluffy miscreants for ya." The teasing from earlier was gone, the childish attempts at getting a rise out of the the Prog dropped in favor of getting to business. The list was shoved into the pocket of Rayner's jacket as the Navi turned on his heel and began walking away. 

"To Netopia, Joan! We've got some sheep to round up." And with that he would disappear from this Network to make his way to a new one.
