"Solo play is fun but I think I'll need help down the lone. Checking the board, I think that this is the place where certain services were advertised?"
Such things were prevalent even though the end of the world seemed to have arrived. With everything appearing as a video game, the previous skills that someone has that can carry over to the new world with their abilities can make them worthwhile. Mercenaries weren't excluded from this. Whether the actions against monsters or other people, the idea of how to price and what they would consider as a worthy exchange for their services was up to the person in question. As for Tommy, he had no problems rubbing shoulders with those kinds of people. They were simple and easy to work with as long as there wasn't a breach in the contract. "Main issue is making one."Sending a private message to red bee's Dm's, he stated that he arrived in the hub. nubia

*Ping!* The sound echoed out around her as she rested at the table she secured for herself in a cute little café in the Hub. She wasn't really sure how much longer she'd rest here, perhaps until Ollie finished whatever business and adventures he was on and needed her services again. In the meantime, Nubia knew she needed more business, more money. Currency was finite nowadays but favors, acquaintances, trade, and goods were things that had taken the place of the common dollar, for now. [break][break]
Nubia sighed taking a sip from her tea, her favorite part about the hub was that everything was free, even if resting here for too long eventually got you expelled to some random place. She had her through the grapevines that being expelled from The Hub could potentially land someone in a high-risk area, thus she only sat here in intervals, often going through a waygate to a new place to explore and hunt some creatures for materials. She hadn't found anyone to utilize such materials, but that was semantics, and she was sure something would come up eventually. [break][break]
With a casual poke of her finger, Nubia pressed against the blue holographic menu that had popped out eliciting the earlier sound. She had gotten a message request. Cell phones were gone, but if one knew the nickname or your full name they could send you a friend request, party invite, or even a private message provided you left your settings open for people to send such, and you accepted. It read that it was from someone named "Enigma," she smiled messaging back.[break][break]
Clearly, someone had seen one of the paper ads she posted up throughout The Hub. Nubia replied to the message, telling this Enigma fellow to meet her at the café. After sending the message she leaned back in her seat, and took another sip from her tea awaiting their arrival. Another good thing about the hub was there was no need for her to be on guard as you couldn't die or take damage in the hub, something she had found moments after she had arrived in it for the first time.

Getting the message from the person he wanted, Tommy was rather relieved that he got a response back. Even though the hub was considered a safe place, things can still go about that can put someone in a difficult situation. It doesn't always have to be violence that gets you, not if individuals know of a workaround. Besides, it was his first time in the hub and even though he knew of the safe zones outside of the digital space, he wasn't expecting an entirely new virtual reality for people to frequent. "The cafe huh?"Adjusting his mask, Tommy followed the instructions and decided that it would be best to hide his actual facial features for the time being. If this woman was a professional and something went wrong during the negotiations, the follow-up issues wouldn't just end in the hub. With Tommy arrived at the cafe, he looked around and sat at the table where the instructions directed him to sit and wait. He didn't know exactly what this person looked like, it could be anyone. nubia

Nubia moved through the hub, making her way to another cafe she had sent the location to for the meet-up, even though this area didn't allow PVP so any damage she'd take would be outright nullified she very well couldn't go given people the place where she liked to relax. How would she ever get a moment of peace that way? No, it was easier to set spots in places she rarely went to, that way she could keep her work life and home life separate. Just the way she liked it.[break][break]
Nubia made her way through the winding streets of the hub finally making it into the cafe, it was upscale, loud, and bustling with people. She hated it. Though such details would make it easier for her to slip away later if she so desired. Some people had a habit of asking too much for too little, and she was a businesswoman first and foremost, so she expected people to pay her for what she believed she was worth.[break][break]
Nubia glanced around seeing that some guy in a mask was sitting where she had directed her to the person she was supposed to meet up with to wait for her. Considering this person had on a mask they were either crazy and weren't the person she was looking for, or crazy and suspicious and were the person she was looking for. Though she couldn't blame people after what she had seen and heard, considering how the tutorial had tried to kill most of them, Nubia figured there were bound to be a couple of people with a few screws loose. [break][break]
She moved over toward the chair, pulling it out with a casual exertion, and plopped down into it. She leaned forward slightly, "Hi I'm Red Bee, a pleasure to make your acquaintance."[break][break]

Tommy waited a while for the mercenary to show themselves. Much to his surprise, it was a woman who looked like she was around the same age as he was. However, from her mannerisms and demeanor, it looked as if she lived a hard life that hardened her and added on a few more years than need be, even though she maintained a youthful appearance. "....."
Tommy took a few more seconds to observe her and looked around a bit to see if anyone was tailing her or listening in to their conversation. After feeling a bit satisfied with the result of finding nobody suspicious in particular, he would finally speak. "I go by the moniker "Enigma" since neither of us is on a first name basis, this is suitable enough. You boast of your skills, but as long as you can back it up, that's fine. I believe that we can help each other, the current world has gone beyond the simple transactions of currency now that points are the dominant thing that everyone wants and needs. However, I believe that trade-in skills are what I can offer you. That can be useful to you, as much as you can be useful to me"Tommy would let it sink in first, he would have hoped that he would sound convincing or garner some interest from the woman. nubia

Nubia laughed, a resounding one that echoed throughout the cafe turning heads for but a mere moment, people soon lost interest, going back to their own lives, drinks, and conversation. This cafe had been full of people like that since she first found it, the most bustling one around where people were often talking about their days, adventures, or how what Safe Zone they were planning on moving to next. Some sought information, but that was neither here nor there... For now.[break][break]
Nubia's gleeful laughter came to a halt nearly as quickly as it came, her glasses slipped forward as she placed a single one of her left fingers on her cheek. That same arm trailing down to rest on the table held propped by her elbow. Her other fingers curled around her bottom lip as her thumb circled the bottom of her chin. She said nothing for a moment simply watching the boy, analyzing his words before she spoke once more. "Enigma, huh? Interesting name, though what you say is correct, what skills do you have that you think you can offer me? My class is pretty cut and dry, I cut things and hit fast so there's not much for me to be rather secretive about or even on guard for that matter."[break][break]
She said leaning back in her seat, crossing her arms as she used a finger to push up her classes that had leaned forward on her face. "Though you, don't even do me the courtesy of showing your face to me, so why should I trust you, pray tell?" She asked, she was curious, simply poking and prodding. She had no rebuttal to the man's words for he spoke the truth, points, and skill were both viable trades, but points only got you so far, there were only but so many monsters and task one could handle on their own. Thus, looking for aid, and finding reliable partners was just as important. It's why she was willing to sell her skills, having found that remaining a mercenary even in this topsy-turvy world still had merit.[break][break]

She was forthcoming, the class that she has was probably so simple that whether it was kept a secret or not done absolutely nothing to the outcome of those who ended up on her bad side. It was a physical class that focused on her speed in terms of combat. "A quick draw of the blade. Fast enough to strike and fast enough to escape when you need to. I guess it's safe to say that in those areas of expertise, you're matchless. Or better yet, as you continue to level up and gain power, you'll become even stronger than you are now. Things don't have to be so complicated, even a class like that will have no shortage of jobs and it's better to be on the good side of people like that than not be. "A little compliment to soften her up. Tommy was trying to be as logical as possible, but maybe the mercenary seemed unsure about him due to him hiding his face. "No mask huh? Alright... I'll play along with the assumption that you'll be confidential with my identity."
Taking off his mask, Tommy would look right at Nubia and smile. "There, does that make you a little more comfortable now in dealing with me? Oh.....now that I got a ... pretty good look at you, you're kinda cute. I wasn't expecting your image for a famed mercenary, but I guess those looks can also be used as an arsenal. "
passive: beautiful horror when not wearing your mask, and people se your face, they become charmed or feared by you if their [WIL] is lower than your [MAGI]. Member decides which effect they want to be afflicted by. This lasts for 2 posts and the same person can't be affected by this passive in the same thread. Friendly-fire possible.

Nubia grinned from ear to ear as Enigma spoke, only to state "Flattery, especially when factual will get you everywhere. You seem much more insightful than most that I've met looking for mercenary work. How refreshing," she said her grin widening. She glanced at Enigma as if trying to peer through his mask as he spoke. She was truly curious as to what was underneath, why he felt the need to hide his face and be so cautious in this new world. After all, she had only chosen this spot because it was easier to leave and not be bothered at the cafe she actually liked if she had decided to turn someone down. [break][break]
She nodded to, Engima's words, her grin becoming that of a somber expression, as she felt that such a thing warranted a much more serious tone. The big reveal was here, but it was but the first, one of the few things she wanted if she was to work for someone. After all, how was she supposed to trust and work alongside someone if she hadn't enough information about them? Though that's what this whole meeting was about, information. Nubia just wondered how much could she get out of him, and how much she'd be able to keep guarded for herself. [break][break]
Nubia's eyes went wide at Enigma as she saw his face, "oh no! You're hot," she said as a blush began to form against her cheeks before she even knew it as his voice sounded like silk mixed with honey. She found his face beautiful, heavenly even, which was odd considering she didn't usually go for his type. She liked her men with more meat on their bones, chubby and funny. This man was... None of that from what she knew. [break][break]
He was enchanting, and Nubia found herself biting her bottom lip as he spoke, hanging on every word. Her mind screamed at her to throw herself at him, to lust after him, to fall in love with him. The only issue being, that she had no clue as to why. Nonetheless, she responded to his flirting with a bit of her own, a simple comment of "right back at ya~"[break][break]

"Harmless flirting aside, I believe that my negotiation skills when.... not trying to hide from the world..." Tommy said as he wanted his mask back and forth. "- is crucial when it comes to the cooperation of others. I'm easy to talk to, and nice to look at. Certain things... you can leave it to me while focusing on what you do best with your skills and abilities. It's a fair trade, in the end, everybody wins. Don't you agree?"Tommy tried to make the offer to work together as attractive as possible. As well as doing this before, he was well aware of the timer on the charmed status. It wears off eventually, but using those crucial moments for a favorable condition was nothing more than practice to him. It allowed Tommy to understand his ability a lot more, as well as use it sparingly. "I wanted something exclusive with you, even if it's only due to the fact of being well aware of my capabilities and shortcomings. As well as your potential, the price is only going to go up when time passes. You'll go way farther than this, I just want to be along for the ride. "
Showing an interest in a side but keeping his options open, it's just as if the world was the same as before for Tommy when he was climbing up the corporate ladder. "I know what my limitations are, and I think that someone with a skill-set like yourself is compatible with me. So what do you say? Do you think you'll be willing to guarantee our cooperation from now on?"

Nubia found herself leaning in more, her body arching across the table in an effort to be as close to his face as she could, "good to look at is right," she found herself saying but deep down she knew she didn't believe such, he wasn't her type. Was he? Nubia glared across the table, finding that she wanted to move closer and closer to Enigma.[break][break]
She listened to him continue, her eyes trailing over his body, she didn't know why she was so into him. Wait, why was she into him? Nubia found it strange. Something was off? Nonetheless, she let Engima finish speaking his words her fingers trailing in circles around the table. "Mmmhm, yeah..." She said only half listening, why was she so distracted by him? [break][break]
This was wrong, she knew it, and she needed it not to be. Then Nubia heard a ping! In her mind "Ability Activating, Sharp Mind," then as she heard the ping her mind became clear. Incredibly clear and she was back to normal. "What was that?" Nubia questioned internally, perhaps he had some type of mind control or hypnotic effect. After all her ability did shrug off mental effects and illusions. She thought about stabbing him, about leaping across the table and trying to kill him, sadly such would accomplish nothing. So she played dumb continuing to look at him lovingly, trailing her finger around the table.[break][break]
"Something exclusive, huh?" She said, listening to Engima tuning into his words. Nubia mulled his words over, perhaps such a subtle ability like his would be useful... If she could trust him. "Hm, perhaps but why should I trust you when you just fucked with my mind?" Nubia said, her finger halting as her face grew serious and her tone darker. [break][break]

The negotiation was working quite well, that's what Tommy thought.At least, he thought, it sounded like she'd figured it out. Sometimes people were quick to get upset or hate Tommy for it, but you have to use whatever is available to you for a negotiation. On top of that, it wasn't something he could control as long as he wasn't wearing a mask. But is it something the female mercenary would believe? Maybe if Tommy made a good argument for why the ability activated, he could get away with it. But at the same time, he had to present it in a way that would make it precious enough for him to want to use it. "oh?"Tommy then puts the mask back on. "You seem to have figured it out."World record maybe? Perhaps Tommy should work on increasing his rank and his level to make it last longer. "Yes, this is my "first impression", this is what I use to trade with you.You may have a way out, but not everybody does. So imagine how this could work in stressful situations or when you need to negotiate with somebody.You feel violated so I'm going to tell you, and only you, the main complaint about this power. It's indiscriminate and activates on its own. I didn't mean to, but I want to make it work for me. And I can make it work for you as well if we can work together. Sounds like you have a way to handle this, so it should be okay. Before succumbing to wrath, consider the possibilities."He wasn't sure if that would be enough. It was a valuable ability, but what mattered at the moment was what the mercenary thought. nubia

She didn't like him, but because regardless of how she felt about the matter she had no way to truly dispute his words, however, she decided that know could be used for interrogation instead. "So you couldn't give me a warning about it beforehand then?" She said, her scowl increasing. "Instead you decided that it would be best to use your little hypnosis to force your point across, and now you try to spin it as some damn example of what you can do," Nubia said, taking her dagger out from her inventory. [break][break]
She let the sheathed blade stand up on the table, her hands gripping the handle so hard that her knuckles turned white. "You know just because I can't kill you in her, doesn't mean I can stab you, constantly. I'm sure eventually the pain would drive anyone mad," Nubia said her tone serious. A few people shot glances toward them before quickly turning away, she kept her voice low enough not to make a scene, but a dagger on a table wasn't something most could just ignore.[break][break]
"Say I am to believe you, do you think such gimmicks are enough, can your skills even work on creatures?" Nubia said, her tone laced with curiosity, his powers could be useful if they worked on more than just people. People were easy after all, they could be bribed with words or currency, and they could be just easily dispatched... [break][break]

"If it makes you feel better, then you can stab me. You're fortunately fast enough, assumingly, if you want to make that trade and see what I can do in exchange. But I'm being honest with you. I'm not the only one who has a condition to fulfill that I can't ignore. I hope you have that same energy if you ever come across another person with a similar predicament. You told me to take off my mask, remember? That's why I hide my face, and yet you want me to shoulder all of the responsibility alone? Aren't you a professional?"
Typical, this is what she asked for, and when he complied, she didn't like it. In a way, to live out his entire life hiding his face to avoid the ire of others, why should he do that? Tommy had no intention of doing that, he was going to make it to the end of this hell hole no matter what. "Don't you understand that people are the most important commodity? Are they as easy as you think? The value of a person, their trust, their abilities. Your ways of handling individuals are effective, but the same method doesn't work for everyone. Does it work on monsters? I don't know. But even if it doesn't I have my ways of handling them and protecting myself. And with this ability, I wouldn't have to fight the monsters if I didn't want to. People have access to points, items, and the system itself that makes the world this way. It is enough, to get yourself into a good position socially or get yourself out of a bad one. Soon, alliances will be made, guilds will be created, and people won't be as "easy" as they used to be. Think about what I could have done when you were enchanted, and reflect on the conversation. I didn't act maliciously."Looking at the knife, Enigma would then look back at Nubia and pull out a pack of cigarettes. "I wouldn't consider myself too unlikeable, I'm a realist. So, we are we now? Do you still want to do business with me?"

Her finger twitched, she was going to stab him but instead, she decided to hear him out, she didn't know why, perhaps it was just because she liked the words coming out of his mouth, or perhaps it was how calm he continued to stay. Nubia sighed listening to his words, "you're right I am, and I just might," Nubia said a smile accompanying her scowl.[break][break]
She sighed "in the future I would still recommend a warning, had this not been in a safe zone I would've killed you immediately," she said tilting the blade with one finger as the sheath rested on its tip. Though she felt bad for the guy if he wasn't lying about the unconditional effect of his ability it meant he could never show his face. What a way to live, she wasn't sure if she should trick him and take him into a not-so-safe zone and put an end to his suffering or use it to her advantage.[break][break]
"Mmhm, sure," she said listening to his drawl, how much longer was he going to try and sell himself to her? In her mind he sounded desperate, she could work with that. Though the fact, that he didn't know it worked on monsters was rather troubling. He wasn't wrong about him not taking advantage of her at the moment, much as she hated to admit it he wasn't wrong he could've taken advantage of her.[break][break]
She let out a deep sigh, as the guy pulled out a carton of cigarettes, "much as I hate to admit it you aren't wrong," she rubbed the bridge of her nose with two fingers, closing her eyes for a second longer than normal before opening them. "First things first we'll have to make sure your ability does work on monsters, that could be useful if it does." She placed her dagger back into her inventory.[break][break]
She let her shoulders relax, her scowl went away as she continued, "tell me more about your class," she said running her free hand through her hair. Continuing soon after as she let her finger twirl around one of the curls of her afro. "Additionally, no using that skill on anybody I consider a friend. I don't trust such an ability used on people I care about."[break][break]
Then she let a sly smile fall to her lips, "now... Let's talk terms."[break][break]

With the fact that being in the safe zone might have allowed Tommy to avoid certain death on his part, he would shrug. "Do you have a sense of how important information is? Announcing my skills to the world when the possibility that they care about the individual himself, doesn't seem fair to me.Plausible denial is also something I can fall back on, along with the fact that I could have just forced others to protect me from you. There is also a tribunal of public opinion. At the end of the day, the first impression is just that, the best first impression I can make on someone. It's not forever, but some things repeat themselves, like the threat of death when you ask someone for help.It would have been a real mess. I'm just as happy that it happened here as you are. Because, to be honest, I will do whatever it takes to survive."
She wanted to know more about his class. There's an ability he wouldn't be willing to tell her about, but the basic one would be ok. "Butterfly projectiles. That's quite a range. This is all I got. But leveling is one thing, therefore, who knows what I will get in the future. "
There was also the fact that not using it on people she would consider friends is a delicate matter. "There might be a time when you have to use it on friends to see if they are still your friends.Surely you know the need to be able to mislead others when necessary.As a matter of fact, it's harmless because I use it that way. But I will abide by your ruling to some extent. If they press on the mask or try to take a look at me without my mask when I actively try to get away, they brought it on themselves. However, that will not be done by me. No long roster of friends either, that's too many people to keep up with so the first group that comes to mind, it's the most important if you bother to remember their names. Not the entire soccer team. "
She had to be reasonable here, Tommy would have things going on outside of their partnership. He could remember a few names. "Terms, now we're going somewhere.Not all missions, but you will be a bodyguard for the higher difficulties to my discretion. I shall choose them.On top of that, we can safely say that I will annoy many more people in the future, involuntarily of course. I want you to give me a heads-up. This is what I want from you, what do you want from me?"
