An imposingly tall woman stood in the plaza, looking around with the bewildered air everyone pretty much everyone has right now. Sure, her life was weird, but this. THIS was a whole new level of fucked up she'd never encountered before. A whole new strata of weird she had never even been aware of the existence of. What antediluvian oddities awaited her in these stupid depths awaited her?
She turned to try and express these thoughts (or to paraphrase them. She'd never actually use the word "antediluvian" in real life.) to one of the other newcomers, opened her mouth to speak, and let out a pathetic croaking sound before breaking down into a silent coughing fit.
Give her a minute.
Post-Pull
This really felt like one of those cryptic phone games Ember and Orion were always talking about that didn't have any gameplay as far as she'd been able to tell. Just endless micromanagement and grinding for drops. Pass.
Except she couldn't, now. At least it was in what felt like real life.
Her first pull had had two of those fragments, and a gun. Well, King liked guns, even if this one was kind of fancy and colorful, and this was a town, right? So obviously no PVP here. That meant it was totally safe to just point the gun at a nearby wall and fire.
When the smoke from the resulting explosion cleared, King climbed back to her feet and peered at the damage the giant energy beam had caused. A perfectly round hole had been burned through the wall, as well as about 6 more walls behind it. As she stared back and forth between the property damage and the inoffensive looking gun, a smile slowly spread across her face.
