"Loading in.... Stats assigned....Player Class is Trickblade... Welcome in Jaydie Bluestar." said a mysterious voice as Jaydie awoke in what seemed to be like a barn at first glance. Her blue eyes glanced around the area to find she was not in a barn per-se but the hay she had been sleeping in woke her up as it bristled like freshly fallen leaves as she found herself shifting out of it. Eventually taking her stand to notice she had hay all over her outfit, with a light brush of her hand she dusted herself off before taking a glance outside the aforementioned barn she had assumed it was. Turns out this was not a barn, well not entirely, this was the storage area of a restaurant it seemed as she looked outside to see people lined up eager to try the good food of this place. Opening the wooden door handle to find herself outside she took notice that she was definitely not in New York now, the people of this village she found herself in were all dressed strangely too.
Suddenly a menu popped up in front of Jaydie. "Protect the citizens of the village within the time limit." Jaydie read aloud before looking at the restaurant and the citizens lined up. Fences were around the building and a few guards but they did not look well equipped. "Looks easy enough, this will be a cakewalk." Jaydie thought aloud before another menu popped up as if to prove her wrong. It read "The Player cannot fight directly in the battle." What did that even mean? Not fight 'directly'. That word felt important somehow. She looked at the description regarding her class. "Trickblade. I can combine weapons into new Trick Weapons for others. So this must be a test to show if I can properly use my new power." Jaydie mused to herself before looking at the poorly equipped guards. Looking behind her she noticed a few weapon racks that did not seem there before, that or she failed to notice them when she was waking up in the barn. She had been a bit dizzy before waking up so it made a little sense. Still this must be the trial. "Should be interesting for sure." Jaydie said with a smirk, thinking of was to use her new power. But right now she was hungry. "I'll check this place out." Jaydie mused aloud before heading into the restaurant.

"Hm?" It had been another long day of Yasuko’s usual antics. He spent the day interning with his mentor at a local idol show in the heart of Yokohama. It was like any other day. Wake up, get dressed, do his make up, get to work. It wasn’t easy being an artist of his caliber but the sight of seeing the stars of the show, shining as bright as they could for the crowd to gaze upon? It made it all worth it. So there he was at 1 in the morning. His head down and throwing his bag onto his bed, eating the leftovers in the fridge and reading a text from his boss about the job tomorrow at 10 am. Just life as normal. A screen flashed before Yasuko’s eyes. He didn’t have any sort of projector in his room last time he checked. Was it coming from his phone? Soft eyes went to the phone to confirm that theory. The screen was a welcome message of some kind, with a choice? It gave a small message with three options for Yasuko. "What the hell?" It was too early in the morning to be making decisions like this. He needed to rest for work tomorrow. But the mystery plaguing the phone did tempt him. His soft fingertip hovered over the options presented to him. World Beautician did have a nice ring to it. But Face Sculptor? He pressed down and hoped for some kind of explanation. "I didn’t want that!" Yasuko whined at the strange game. "I wanted information on it you stupid..." His voice faltered while a wave of sudden exhaustion crept over him. He hadn’t taken a bite out of his microwaved dinner before he fell asleep. - "Gwubuwaah?" He awoke with a garbled mess, the warm comfort of a bed having suddenly been replaced by an uncomfortable restaurant booth seat. From beneath the table rose the pink shape of the aspiring beautician. His eyes scanned across the interior of the building he had found himself inside of. Half asleep and half panicking, he wiped a sliver of drool from his lower lip and let out a soft groan of confusion. "This...isn't my apartment. What the hell am I?" The boy slowly rose up from his resting place in all of his five foot five glory and began to make his way around the fallen chairs and tables. The air inside of this place was dank and the dust in the air was enough to make his nose crinkle. Across the booth from him was the entrance into the restaurant and a way out. Yasuko took a few steps forward and reached out at black painted nails reached out to grasp the door until the sound of the handle come from in front of him. The door leading outside opened to revealing a woman standing in front of him. A blue haired woman in twin pigtails that he found fairly cute looking. Standing before Jaydie was an androgynous figure only a few sparse inches taller than her, dressed in a beige sweater, grey skirt and black leggings alongside some worn sneakers. "WAAAAAAAH!" Yasuko let out a high pitched inhale as he took a few steps back and felt his heart fall into the pit of his stomach. Out of habit, his voice heightened in pitch to make the female leaning appearance that Yasuko was well known for back in Japan. "Holy shit, you scared the fuck out of me, dude." he said while clutching his chest with a soft sigh. "Do you know where we are? I was in my bedroom before I ended up here..."Jaydie Bluestar

As she began to open the door she noticed a woman? Jaydie was unsure until what she presumed to be a he spoke. Since dude is a gender neutral term she was going to address them as such. But first things first, the person in front of her screamed in surprise upon seeing her. Now she was no idiot, she knew this had to be another person in her situation like her. Still though Jaydie was a gremlin, as said to her by her older brother Mortimer. And she agreed with him, she was not one to deny her nature. So what would she do? She'd prank him of course! "Well excuse me! I had no idea I was that ugly, last time I looked in the mirror it only cracked alittle bit from it." She was acting as if it was a daily occurrence, she was a professional actor and magician after all.
Jaydie did not make it obvious she was joking. "Well I was sleeping in my room, dreaming of being normal looking, before I woke up here. So unless we are both in the same dream or something I don't think it isn't real. Not as real as my appearance, but who's counting?" Jaydie waited a bit for them to react to her prank before she ended up bursting out laughing either way. "Wow sorry, I don't think I could keep up that act for long! Haha anyway my name is Jaydie Bluestar, nice to meetcha!"

Yasuko shot the woman a look as she apologized from being so ugly. Her poker face was either the best in the business or she was messing around with him. It was honestly hard to tell for him, so he could only really take the woman at face value. "Ugly? Pffft, no way!" The beautician said while walking around Jaydie. He took in every little detail about her appearance, carefully inspecting her fashion choices, make up and even hair. It was a quick walk around, taking up a total time of at least around three seconds of intense scanning and so. But after which, Yasuko would come back in front of Jaydie with a playful pout. "You would dare call yourself ugly like this? You've got some real panache in you, I can tell! Just look at that hair! I mean, yeah, if you wanna get super nitpicky, I can tell it's kind of dry and you're not using enough moisturizer but that's true for like 90% of people! Stop selling yourself short!"Yasuko was liable to ramble on for hours about the concept of inner beauty and how Jaydie was a diamond in the rough, but held back only by the common courtesy of social etiquette. He allowed her to speak a little while longer as the joke was flying straight over his pink head, truly believing that she wasn't too fond of her appearance. His expression worsened the more in depth she became. This poor woman was in desperate need of some self-love, and boy she was lucky that out of everybody, she ran into him of all people! Until she started to burst out laughing and apologize. Another pout came from him as Yasuko looked relieved, then quickly shifted into being salty about her little prank as he whined. "You really had me worried! Ugh, I was going to start bringing you to every salon and good place I know in Yokohama that could heal that soul of yours." After that little snap, he shook his head and tried to be upbeat despite having a fast one pulled on him. "Jaydie, huh? I love it! Cute name!" If she was going to be silly, then he could match it wholesale. His feminine voice shifted while Yasuko took a more dramatic stance before her. "I'm the last beautician of this fractured world, sent by the powers that be to mend the tortured souls, imprisoned by the facade of doubt and fear. It's my duty to bring out the inner beauty of everybody, so that we can flourish into the best versions of ourselves!" He struck another dramatic pose, tossing some loose strands of pink hair behind his head as if they would blow in the breeze. "I'm Yasuko, the Makeover Maestro, the Ferrywoman of Foundation, the Slayer of Self-Doubt, and Your Personal One-Stop Shop to bring out that hidden beauty you've got hidden away!~"Jaydie Bluestar

The honest praise she was receiving was actually quite unexpected especially since Jaydie didn't mean a word of her self depreciation, it was all just an act. Though being told she was beautiful was definitely nice to hear either way. What made her sound so convincing though was not because of her acting skills, but because she had hid her depressive thoughts about herself to everyone. She knew she was good looking though so these sad thoughts were more directed at her 'mask' so to speak.
Jaydie acted cute and happy all the time to stave off her own fear of the world as it is in its current state. Monsters all over the world, humanity on the brink of destruction and mysterious powers awakening within those who remain. Her mask is more of the other side of the coin. Heads is the Mask, Tails is Unmasked. So when she was complimented on her looks, it genuinely made her happy that someone else so much as cared even if it was meant as a prank at first. Closing her eyes for but a brief moment then taking a breath, Jaydie placed her forefingers on her cheeks with a cutesy expression to indicate happiness. The mask back on. She took the phrase 'fake it till you make it' quite literally.
Anyways this made her question what gender this person was, saying dude would have to suffice for now. "Well thank you dude, you are quite pleasing to the eye as well.~" Jaydie said with that cutesy expression on her face still. Dropping the cute act a bit she would take a look behind Yasuko, The people she noticed before were actually just part of the tutorial, they were see-through and passed right through the doorway that the two were blocking for everyone else as if they weren't even there.
Looking back at the guards behind her, they were the same but everything else was physical and actually there. Their weapons and armor were not transparent, the barricades were not as well. So this meant that the tutorial was to assist these guards that don't even know they even exist to defend against enemies that will likely not even perceive them in the first place. That explains the condition of not being able to directly intervene. Jaydie could give the guards trick weapons and such but what could Yasuko do? Guess only one way to find out. "So dude, Yasuko I mean, did you see this tutorial thing and its conditions?" she asked in a more serious tone of voice.

"Thank you! It's nice to see such beauty is appreciated. When we get out of here, I'd love to help you out. Maybe get some foundation, or match up some fashion or make up for you! Everybody's got something they can flaunt, so we just need to find what yours is!" For as much fun as Yasuko was having with his new friend inside of this strange new area, he really didn't have too many ideas on how to finish this tutorial. The see through people that had just walked through the doorway caused him to jump in surprise, though look at both with external confusion. He looked back at Jaydie for some type of guidance before his phone would rumble again. "Not really. I didn't even get any kind of text or anything."Just then, a vibration in his skirt pocket! Another alert! He fetched it up right on time to come face to face with some weird kind of RPG main menu mxied with a phone home screen. It listed his stats(?) and HP, alongside his class that he had seen a while back before falling asleep. But across the whole was a tutorial mission objective that scrolled across the main part of the screen, alongside a party menu consisting of Jaydie and himself. "Let's see...Protecting citizens of the village but we can't fight directly, huh?" Yasuko perked up at the little mission before them. "So it's like a puzzle, I guess. We have to help protect people, but we're not allowed to fight the enemies ourselves. Easier said than done. Let's see what I have that could help.""Face Sculptor?" He said aloud, repeating the class name on his screen. "Can I steal your face and be as cute as you?" It was a joke made in jest, even following it with a wink. He read through the quick blurb before reporting back on what he had discovered. "I think I get it. Says here that I'm just a walking wardrobe and each look does cool stuff. I can even give party members some of the outfits I have and share the benefits. Let's see..." Yasuko clicked the option for Solar Flare as his body was wrapped in light for a brief moment. His attire changed from the sweater, skirt and leggings he had on to a simplistic, lightweight white sundress that hung off of his form with two scrunchie bracelets on both wrists. It did expose his more slender and lithe body, but didn't restrict his movement in any way. A pair of matching white heels pushed his height up an inch or two. He was still looking down at Jaydie, but any boost was appreciated. Two crimson colored wings burst from his back and fluttered once to test them, while Yasuko's hair would suddenly burst into flames that styled themselves in a long, flowing style that mimicked the sense of hair. A warm, inviting light engulfed the room while Yasuko looked at himself. "How do I look? Think I'm hot enough?~" He giggled at his own pun, then twirled around and struck a playful pose at his partner before his eyes flickered back to the two weird see through people. "So this heals people around me and makes me burn stuff. Pretty cool, huh?~"Jaydie Bluestar

"I don't know a hot look like that might not be very cool but definitely smokin' hot." Jaydie made her own joke at him, making it very obvious she was joking this time. Looking at Yasuko's abilities gave her a bit of a hint on what this tutorial was for. "Ah I get it now." Jaydie started before looking at the poorly equipped guards. "So this 'tutorial' is for both of us. I can make trick weapons by combining two existing weapons into one. See those poorly equipped guards? Despite being transparent I've noticed their armor and weapons are not." Jaydie pointed out as she directed Yasuko's attention toward the guards by pointing at them. Not exactly rude since those guards couldn't see them anyway.
"But yeah I think this is what the tutorial is prepping us for." A display window came up in front of both of them. It was a window that had a timer counting down from 60 minutes. The title said 'Prep Time' right above the timer that was ticking down for them. "So if I am understanding this right, we have an hour to prep for an incoming attack of some sort. What do you think?" she inquired to Yasuko.

Jaydie caught onto what was going on for the tutorial a bit fast than Yasuko was currently doing. He still looked pretty lost during her description of what the point of having people they couldn't interact with was. He was too impatient and cute for simple memory or puzzle games! That's why he always demanded to play action or fashion-based ones! But after some time spent absorbing everything he had learned, it clicked inside of his pink little head. Suddenly everything made sense! He could see the lines of code inside of the world! Maybe not literally, but Yasuko finally understood! "Yeah, now I get it!" The fashionista took a few steps closer to the weird see through guards and studied them for a second. His hand came to his chin in thought, stroking his cute little chin. "So we have to set up a defense area for people we can't see or interact with us and vice versa? It's some weird ass kind of puzzle then! Pretty simple, so we just break stuff and move it around. Should be pretty simple!"Yasuko was proud of his judgement, then scrolling through his phone again and coming across his ability. There was only one available, but it certainly would be helpful! "Says here I can give people my Guises and grant them the powers of it. So that covers the armor part. I just have to pick and choose when. Outside of that, we might be on our own for finding armor and weapons for the guards here. Any ideas?"Jaydie Bluestar

As the timer counted down Jaydie tried to think on her feet about the possibilities that were available to the two. "Well I woke up in a barn house with a lot of hay but no horses. But I saw a bunch of weapons and armor scattered about, it might be a repurposed stable is my guess." Before turning her gaze toward the place where she woke up. Her lips curled into a smile upon realization that she could probably use her newfound powers to make better weapons for the guards. The timer already got to 50 minutes from the previously shown timer of 60 minutes. This meant they would need to act fast, they were talking a bit from what she could tell. "So it is this way, let's go." she led Yasuko to the storage stables where sure enough a lot of weapons and armor were scattered about.
Most of them broken or in bad shape. Jaydie took this opportunity to take any weapons that could be used to combine into a Trick Weapon. Best thing she could do for now was to combine a broken bow that was split in half right down the middle and two swords that were similar in shape to the other. She combined the two into a weapon she decided to call Icarus, inspired by a game she had played a while back. The bow was made up of two blades that could be separated for individual use but also combined back together for use as a bow.
That was one down, but she had a few other ideas too but right now she noticed the timer ticking down more and more. For now she would just take a few improvised trick weapons then assign those to the guards using the menu that popped up in front of her when she approached one. It was an equipment menu that showed up right after approaching one of the poorly equipped guards. "Yep this confirms it, this is our tutorial. See right there Yasuko? An equipment menu!" she said excitedly.

"Weird, but it's helping us get out of this weird ass place. Lead the way, JayJay~" Not exactly the best place to wake up, but hey, if it was good enough for the horses, then it probably was good enough to help their weird guards. Yasuko listened intent as Jaydie came up with their next course of action. He followed the woman over to where she had woken up at, a short trip in total duration. But just like she had said, armor and weapons rested before them, some in better shape than others. Still, it beat not having anything. "I dunno, you sure you can work with all of this stuff?" Yasuko sat down on a spare crate, watching Jaydie work her magic with a critical eye. She went through some broken equipment before forming it into an all new one. A bow and a sword created...a bow that shot swords? It was creative, if unusual. "I stand corrected. Good thinking!" He pulled up the equipment menu as instructed to come face to face with their status screens. As expected, she had her weapon in her slot, while he had nothing! It did make sense, given his class. Maybe there was a weapon around here or something? "You've got more time if you want to try your hand on combining anything else. I'm pretty much good to go given my outfits."Jaydie Bluestar

Jaydie took this opportunity to look at the equipment she had from the shed from earlier. "Lets see. There are some broken swords here and some wooden clubs. Hmm. Got it!" Jaydie quickly went to work using her ability by combining the broken blades with the wooden clubs to make Tonfa Blades for the next guard. The timer was still ticking down, this meant that they were running low on the time before the 'monster attack' as Jaydie had guessed. Their were a total of only four guards, two each on both sides of the restaurant, which were slowly getting better equipped as Jaydie and Yasuko outfitted them with their abilities. The other directions walled off by a poorly constructed fence. One look at the fence made it seem like that needed a touch up as well.
But both of them could only do equipment, what could they do about the fence? As if to answer her question another screen popped up in front of her. It asked 'Use Scrap Conversion?' Jaydie then asked what it asked her on the screen out loud. "Use Scrap Conversion? What does that mean?" And again a new screen popped up right underneath to show her what it meant. 'Convert broken weapons and armor into materials for use later.' it said. "So does this mean we can upgrade that broken fence? Eh why not, let's try it!" Jaydie took the leftover broken armor which were all made from metal, monster bones and leather then used the Scrap Conversion feature to her surprise which turned all of it into raw materials on the ground next to her. The materials on the ground were perfectly cut metal bars, monster bones stacked on the ground that were straight as logs and leather that was perfectly tanned in patches of hide nearby.
Looking over toward the freshly converted materials on the ground nearby made one more window which said 'Upgrades' which gave plenty of options for different defenses, traps and even some artillery all at different material costs. Their materials were limited though which meant they needed to choose carefully. "Yasuko, hope you've been keeping up. We got a lot of choices here for this tutorial. Sure is a tutorial alright, it is helping a lot like video games do. What do you think we should upgrade first?" Jaydie inquired to her partner next to her. This will be an interesting time for sure.
