White Day

[dual_wield_hax]

So uh I guess by community standards it's White Day today. Being stuck where I am I can't really get anyone anything, unless we can get me out of the game for a day? It's not like I'm waiting for anything recently, considering people are still pointing at me and whispering behind my back.

I guess I'll have to wait for another few more weeks before the hubbub dies down, but they're starting to call me The Black Swordsman recently. I suppose it's better than "Beater" is anyhow.

Should at least get Sugu something... otherwise I'll probably be hit for forgetting later on.

[The last part was mumbled as he enters the shop and starts looking around for stuff to buy.]

That sounds rough but The Black Swordsman is a cool name!

[dual_wield_hax]

I guess. I'm going to be stuck with it for a while I suppose.

[hunterofpeace]

How would you get a nickname like that?

[dual_wield_hax]

The color of my coat really. And the fact that I solo content all the time.

[hunterofpeace]

But you must be a good swordsman.

[dual_wield_hax]

I'm pretty good. There's stuff I can fight with ease.

[hunterofpeace]

So why do you cheat?

[dual_wield_hax]

I don't.

[hunterofpeace]

Then why do they say you do?

[dual_wield_hax]

So that people will refocus their attention from the Beta Testers to the "Beater".

[hunterofpeace]

[He rubs the back of his head, laughing.]

Maybe it would make more sense if I knew the rest of the story.

[dual_wield_hax]

Basically put, the players are blaming the Beta Testers for everything. So I stepped in and claimed I was better than a Beta Tester.

[hunterofpeace]

So now you're the one getting picked on. Aw, man, that doesn't sound fair.

[dual_wield_hax]

I brought it upon myself deliberately. Better they hate one person than all the beta testers.

[hunterofpeace]

So you picked yourself.

[dual_wield_hax]

There was a small riot about to break out. I had to do something.

[hunterofpeace]

Good job.

[The tone is slightly more serious, more earnest.]

[dual_wield_hax]

You're the first to say that really. Everyone said I was being dumb.

[hunterofpeace]

It probably was really dumb, too but it saved them, right?

[dual_wield_hax]

It was. And yeah, it kinda did.

[hunterofpeace]

Then it was okay to be stupid this time.
