Recon watch as the other two fought off the boar pups as he took a break from fighting. “This is fun….so far” It wasn’t really he’d rather be exploring the place or sleeping but no here he is fighting boar pups. ‘Fuck I’d rather be sleeping than doing this shit.’ with that thought Recon went back to watching them. By god Lishuu actually hit the boar “Fuck yeah bud good work! Now do it three more times. Then you’ll probably be done with this….probably.” after speaking Recon took a knee to rest. Recon watched the boar’s attempts at attacking him failing. He smiled before speaking to the boar to give the thing a moral boost even if the thing didn’t understand him. “Come on you are getting closer it shouldn’t be too hard to hit me. I mean I’m a huge fucking target.” Afterward Recon took a deep breath and sat down it’s not like the boar pup would be able to kill him right?

At this point, Recon was out of breath those last attacks took a toll on him and he was bent over taking deep breaths. He then looked up and saw the boar pup coming in for an attack. “Oh hello, bud nice day eh?” maybe being nice to them would help right? 

Clearly, Recon was wrong and the boar pup got into a stance ready to charge the Canadian full force. He got ready to take the attack head-on the boar pup began to charge him. For once luck was on Recon’s side again and the boar pup tripped upon their charge. “Thank you creator or whatever is watching over me.” He mumbled to himself.

The constant attacks draining his energy had taken a toll on him and Recon decided that this was enough for now. “Alright cover me I gotta take a second to catch my breath.” He said to the two.

Recon stepped back from the battle to think about his next actions. 'What to do now? I've already exhausted myself with that first attack. Fuck this is harder than I thought.' Gripping his straight sword tightly Recon stepped back into the fight. He looked at the other two who seemed to be doing well in the current situation. Then two more just popped out of the bushes 'Do they keep spawning until we get the damn materials?' Recon sighed and got into a battle stance once again. This time he started to hype himself up. "Come on let's go I ain't going nowhere." He said in a low voice.

Once in his combat stance Recon got his straight sword ready for an attack. Now he controlled his breathing to calm himself before going forward with an attack. With his straight sword, ready Recon trusted forward with his sword and missed. "Well shit. This is getting unboarable."

One of the boar pups had died from Recon’s swing and cracked up before turning into dust “Far….out?” Recon mumbled to himself. He wasn’t expecting the damn thing to turn into dust like that it was odd plus he was expecting more blood. Recon then turned to the other two to see how their situations were going Starla seemed to be doing fine but Lishuu, on the other hand, wasn’t doing so well.

Recon took a few steps over to Lishuu only to take care of the boar pup Recon got into a battle-ready stance and bent his knees before thrusting the sword forward towards the boar pup. He missed by a long shot and stared at the boar pup and smiled at it “You get a haircut recently? Cause you look a lot nicer now.” He said towards the boar before hearing Lishuu speak. “Look you could be in a hole underground full of water.” in response to her

Recon looked at both of them seeing that the two of them were shaking but He wasn’t shaking the thought of death lingered in the back of his head still but it never bothered him. Recon had good stress resistance and he took a deep breath before opening his inventory to take out his two-handed sword.

Recon thought about his options while the other two did their thing and he had decided on doing an AOE on the three boar pups ‘If I do this I could be done with this quickly’ Recon took a few steps towards the three boar pups and swung the sword as if it were a bat horizontally before bringing it back for a secondary swing at the three. He missed the other two pups but he definitely hit the third one

“Well...this is going to be a great story to tell.” Recon said sarcastically while looking at the boar pups.

Recon watched as Starla got close and whispered in his ear in response he whispered back to her. “I’m observant enough to notice one thing about you…” Recon, paused before continuing “It’s that your flaws burn through your skin like demonic flames from hell.” After Starla started moving out he soon followed afterward ignoring Koga, and Lishuu  ‘Blah blah blah’ Recon had had enough only reason he’s doing this is that the old man asked nicely. That and it was generally looked down upon to disrespect elders virtual or not he was going to be nice anyway.

 Recon, accepted the invitation and continued following Starla by the looks of it she was going to be the spearhead and probably the first to be attacked. To answer Starla’s question on whether it was his first battle it was obvious “Yes it is.” Then Lishuu asked if we had to find enemies “Yep specifically boar pups those shouldn’t be too hard to find.”

Recon smiled and looked back at Koga “Well if I’m the whole circus I guess your one of the acts” he paused before continuing “And to be honest with you it was a terrible act.” Recon said jokingly. At this point, Recon’s joke-making abilities made no sense due to the lack of sleep all he could do is spit out dark jokes and some random stuff.

There was no going back for Koga, Recon was just starting to open up to him although in a tired manner. Recon walked beside him hearing him respond to his questions. Once Koga was done speaking Recon spoke “Well…I was attending school to become a …” Recon sighed “If I’m going, to be honest with you I don’t fucking know really.” He looked down at the road and responded to the question of death. “Guess I’m not really afraid of it but…” Recon paused and pulled down his neck warmer and turned back to Koga “I just don’t want to be there when it happens.”

The two soon entered the Town of Beginnings heading towards Zachariah’s place. Once they got there Recon walked up to the door and turned around “Thank’s for the talk hope you lost a couple of years off your lifespan by doing this cause I sure did with that door earlier.” He laughed and opened the door entering the place.

The old man turned around hearing him enter. “Your back as well! That’s great!” Zachariah smiled at Recon before speaking once again “Just like the last person I’m going to have to teach you how to make a potion. I would do it for you but I got my hands tied currently.” Recon couldn’t say anything in response as Zachariah started laying out the materials to make a potion in front of him. Once they were laid out the Old man started showing Recon how to make a potion.

“Alright, I got it now.” He didn’t get it at all and tried to mimic what the Alchemist had shown him but he did it in a nervous manner his hands shaking while following the instructions. Somehow Recon made a potion a decent one at that.  

“See? That wasn’t so hard” Zachariah patted Recon on the back for his success in making a potion. “Well, then I should be on my wa-” Recon was cut off by Zachariah “Hey before you go could you deliver this to a person named Lyle Tealeaf for me please?” Recon nodded his head in response and was handed the package and it immediately went into his inventory

Once Recon had caught up to Koga he answered him when asking about wanting him to leave. “Yeah, I did tell you to leave because I didn’t want you sitting on your ass doing nothing. Also yes I found the last one apparently Lishuu walked over one missing it.” He smiled before continuing what he yelled to him earlier “Hey you forgot your clown ID.” Recon said sarcastically.

“Anyways what do you want to do with your life before joining the death game?” Recon dodged the question on what build he wanted to be because he didn’t exactly know how to answer that. “And uh...sorry about me getting angry I just didn’t get much sleep lately.” Recon then turned to Koga before asking a deep question. “You scared of...well you know death?” after asking that Recon turned towards the fields seeing that it was getting closer to night time. It was a nice view really.

Recon turned around to see if Koga had left and he did seeing him walk off towards the Town of Beginnings. ‘Well this shouldn’t be too hard now just gotta find one more’ Recon thought to himself and stood back up and looked around and saw the outlines they had made in the grass had they really searched that whole area? 

Recon took a few steps over to where Lishuu was searching just to see if she had missed one. Looking around the spot she had just searched Recon spotted another glistening flower “Looked like she missed one” he mumbled to himself before taking a few steps over to the plant and picking it up. “Last one time to head back.” and that was it after placing the flower back into his inventory he headed back to the town following the road.

Off in the distance Recon saw Koga walking back and he yelled to catch his attention. “Hey, you forgot something man!”

“Hey you don’t need to stay here with me I got the situation under control for the most part. So uh shoo or whatever they say.” Recon turned and gave a go gesture with his hand. “Shouldn’t be too hard really” Recon lifted his head and looked at the vast fields “Anyways I don’t see much of a threat out there.” After telling Koga how there wasn’t much of a threat Recon went straight back to looking. 

“Then don’t ask about builds if you say what I have isn’t considered a ‘build’ cause I don't know what the fuck I'm doing” Recon snapped back at Koga “Didn’t I tell you to go already?” Recon was getting annoyed and Ignored his question about what weapon he used.  along with that Recon wasn't getting much sleep at all in the past couple of days.

The area he was at was already clear of the flowers he was looking for as far as he could tell there was no more to be found. “Onto the next area…” Recon stood back up and started backtracking checking if he had missed any. He had missed one so he knelt down before carefully picking up the flower. “One more to go then I can finally get sleep in.”

Recon stood there hearing the two girls go on about sticking with other girls during these trying times ‘Yeah I wish the best for the both of you’ he thought before she had spoken to Koga about making weapons “Sounds like a nice job to have might consider it but I gotta map out my other options.” Then watched as Starla said something that sounded like she was insulting his intelligence ‘Oh so that’s how you want to do this huh? Fine’  Recon spoke back in response to Starla “Who’s Starla? Sounds like a clown name but nice try at a joke Doug Dog you get a five-star from me.” Recon said sarcastically. After Lishuu said that that his joke about Koga and her being a couple was the funnies so far He saw an opportunity a devious one at that. “Funny Listerine I thought you were the joke here” Recon laughed sure it was bad to say that but she put herself up to it."

After having a small laugh at the joke he made Recon heard Koga go on about RNGusus and by god he was right about how bad it can be “Yeah on second thought maybe I won’t become a blacksmith maybe I’ll become a chef.”

Recon continued to search through the grass after hearing the answer “five over fifteen eh? Never would’ve guessed.” then he heard Koga go on about not dividing his focus. “Believe it or not I can multitask decently compared to other people.” He said while digging through the field. While searching Koga brought up the topic of builds and Recon responded “To be honest with you man I never really thought that far as I know I have somewhat of a DPS build I think” He noticed a glistering flower sitting  just behind the grass that he pushed aside “Well looks like my terrible luck is turning around.” With that he carefully picked it up and stowed it away in his inventory 

Hearing Lishuu saying that she had found the last flower and her sly remark to Recon. “I’ll think about it but thanks for the totally useful information bud I’ll come to you for my math questions now.”

Recon looked at the new player who had met with the two and waved before greeting her “Surprised you ain’t dead considering that you know a certain someone threw a dagger at you.” Recon glanced over to Koga before he defended himself on the dagger throwing “Oh...well anyways nice to meet you uh…” Recon’s head blanked on what her name was before coming up with a random name “Doug Dog, my name is Recon.” Forgetting that the other two were around he turned to them ‘Actually my name isn’t Roy It’s actually Recon but Roy is actually my last name but from now on call me Recon eh?” After telling the two his real name he stood there with a blank face watching Lishuu along with Koga converse with each other. “If I had to guess you two were actually a tightly knitted couple.” Recon said poking fun at the two.

Recon shot his head up and turned back to Lishuu to see if she gave an answer “So what’s the answer bud?” Then he continued searching the foliage pushing the grass around before standing back up. Lishuu then asked what the question had to do with flowers “Well nothing actually just wanted to ask.” After speaking to her Recon took about five steps further into the field crouching down starting to look for the flowers once again.” He heard Lishuu go off on something either the question or something to do with the quest to him what seemed to be angry. “Have you ever tried multitasking? Quite easy to do!” Recon said sarcastically “Anyway’s that’s fine I never knew the answer either but I feel like it’s just on the tip of my tongue.” After speaking to her he went back to searching but noticing that he had just flattened the delicate flower. “Well shoot.”

Recon had dragged himself back to Zachariah’s little alchemist’s place to drop off the materials. the old man spoke and he listened. Now he had another objective and it was to deliver a package to a person named Lyle Tealeaf. At this point Recon, was drained of energy but since Zachariah asked so nicely he could help but say yes. Off he went towards the blinking quest marker off in the distance. Recon gave a small “Ha” before speaking to himself “looks like I’m a courier now! Now hopefully I won’t get shot in the head.” At this point, he was getting closer and closer to the quest marker ‘Almost there' Recon thought to himself trying to lift his mood up. Now it was starting to dawn on him after the whole Monument of Life fiasco of him making a joke about the dead that a lot of people are going to hate him for that. Even now those other two players seemed like they didn’t want him around at least they won’t see his neckwarmer-covered face again!

Recon was getting was now just a dozen steps away from the quest marker he could see a group of players just ahead of him. The closer the man got the more recognizable they became it was those two again and a new face. Recon took a deep breath and put on a good vibe and a fake smile they couldn’t see. “Guess I should have expected you two once again eh?”

Recon let out a sigh of relief after he found the flower required for whatever the old man was trying to make. At this point, he forgot what the old man tasked the two with because his brain was on autopilot just to find those damn flowers. After showing the two that he had found the material Recon stowed it away in his inventory and began moving back out into the field. Once again he took a knee and began padding down the grass and pushing some of the foliage out of the way. While searching for the materials a memory came to mind something about math class and being unable to answer it. who is good at math? Koga or Lishuu? I’ll ask Lishuu first. Recon lifted his head up and turned to Lishuu “Hey so uh  I have a question for you care to answer for me?” Recon gave her no time to give a response to his question before speaking again. “So a wheelchair ramp rises 5 feet over a distance of 15 feet so what’s the slope of this ramp?” Recon then turned back to looking for the flower to give her some time to state her solution. Whilst continuing to push grass out of the way he spotted another glistening plant and he ripped the plant out of the ground stowing it away in his inventory.

Recon sighed and planted his face into the field before rolling himself to face the sky. At this point, he was giving up hope at finding the herbs. He placed his arms under his head to support it “Don’t mind me I’m just relaxing over here and please don’t trip or step on me” He said in a monotone voice “You know I met a drug dealer before all of this and got some shoes from him.” Recon smiled before continuing his joke “I don’t exactly know what he laced them with but I was tripping all day.” Just like that, he started laughing at his own joke. Guess I should get back to looking.

 He then rolled over and pushed himself up and looked around before taking two steps in the direction Koga was. “Looks like a good spot.” Recon dropped down to his knees and began searching pushing the grass out of the way. Something glistening caught his attention That looks like the thing Koga was talking about. Reaching through the grass he pulled the glistening blue flower out of the ground. Recon stood up just as Lishuu was mentioning that he having trouble looking. “What do you mean having trouble?” He lifted the flower up to show the two he had found one.

Recon looked to Koga and laughed at his comment back about every single thing wanting to kill them. “Yeah, I didn’t expect to buy a game based in the terrifying place called Australia. Then again it would be funny if I died to a damn bird.” He gave another chuckle after commenting that a bird could kill him. Recon really cared about if he died or not but dark jokes were kinda his thing. Still, though deep down he still feared dying those thoughts were still there along with the idea he won’t see his dad again. Recon stood up and dragged himself deeper into the field. Recon glanced over to Lishuu after she called for him. It probably wasn’t a good idea to tell them his last name but he didn’t want to give them his actual username.  “Obviously I’m doing my best here bud and I have you know that I’m fine with sleeping under a bridge.” Recon took a knee and began searching he found nothing. “Well Looks like my luck is kicking in now.”

ID# 183311 Loot:8  0/5 materials found.

Recon gave a response back to Koga to answer his question about sleeping earlier “To answer your question about sleeping in an inn no I haven’t. You know how much that shit costs?” The last time he checked about staying in an inn Recon chose not to just to save more money. “To be honest with you sleeping under a bridge is a lot better.” he said with confidence because to him it was true about sleeping there. “Believe it or not the sound the water makes is soothing.” Recon stood up and advanced further in the field and took a knee once more and began to search. “Why did the scarecrow win an award?”  he didn’t find any of the needed materials there. “Because he was outstanding in his field,” Recon chucked at his joke before making sure they got it. “Get it? Because scarecrows are usually placed in fields?”

ID# 183285 Loot: 7 0/5 materials found.

Recon’s smile soon faded after realizing they were getting closer to the wall. At least Koga had given them some encouragement it wasn’t a nice one but it was something. Hopefully, this little adventure didn’t get us killed although it is kinda funny if they did die are a starter quest. “Sleeping sounds nice. I never actually had a full night’s rest yet.” That was true the amount of sleep he got was little to none since joining. Once the group had left the safe zone Recon’s attention was taken by the fields. He had never seen any fields much growing up only ones he saw were in photos or briefly in games. The only things he has really seen growing up were snow and tall skyscrapers. Time to get down to work. Recon then headed off the main road and into the field he went. 

Recon took a knee and started looking for the materials Koga had described. He pushed grass around and there was nothing to be found in his area.

ID#183259 Loot: 9 0/5 materials gathered.

Thankfully there wasn't going to be any combat cause Recon wouldn't be of help by any means unless he was a flesh shield clearly a 6'2 man was great for that. Asides from being a flesh shield he didn't know how to swing a sword correctly only thing he could do is swing it like a damn bat. This was going to be a first for him leaving the town of beginnings after all this time he never planned to leave this soon but it was kinda like don't ruin the group's mood to him so he went along with all of it. Recon took a deep breath and a long exhale At least we have someone watching over us. That’s what he was thankful for.

Recon nodded after Koga gave them some information on what to look for. Recon looked at Koga when he asked for his name “I uh.” Recon paused thinking whether to tell them his name before deciding “It’s Roy.” He followed the two as they were leading him towards the gates. Time to tell them another joke eh? Recon had a great one just for herbs or gardening. “Hey I had this beautiful herb garden in my childhood…” He smiled under the neckwarmer “Good thymes”

This girl is a handful and too cheery.

Recon stared back at Lishuu confused did he do something wrong?  He turned his head away from the girl she was getting creepy at this point. Jesus, you slam a door in my face and you proceed to stare at me? Recon thought to himself then he heard Lishuu’s cheery 'mhm' response. That answered his thoughts on the girl I was right she is too cheery. Recon gave a quick 'Uh huh' nodding in response to her. His head turned to Koga and stared him down his eyes screaming 'MR PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DO THE QUEST WITH CRAZY GIRL HERE PLEASE' Recon hoped that his non-talkative stare scream would reach him but that hope was slim. It wasn’t himself judging people this quick rather he’d give the person time to get to know them but this was different cause staring equals bad.

Recon’s prayers were answered when the NPC talked him into joining the quest with us. Thank the lord if there is one.

“I’m guessing it’s just ripping shit out of the ground right?” That was his thoughts on gathering herbs or well his idea of it. Recon looked at both of them and spoke in a cheery voice “But let’s get it done, shall we?”
