Welcome to Gaia! ::

ring around

The Ring of Truth fascinated her, and it was too hot to go out. So while they sat in the cove, Sam held it out for Kammy to either take. "I prefer one on one sessions," she said as a matter of factly. "No need to discuss personal preferences in front of absolute strangers."

Which Kammy wasn't any more, she was beginning to realize. It was odd to call someone a friend after enduring two monsters, but...acquaintances were a start. Sam wasn't very good at maintaining friendships for a variety of reasons, the least of which was her apparent lack of empathy. She wanted to force Kammy to tell only the truth to facilitate this bonding process.

While Sam was very much into the whole ring thing, Kammy was not. She was reserved by nature, and it took a lot for her to warm up to anyone let alone reveal personal secrets. Sam was high on her list of good people. If this were a friendship sim they would have scored a few points already. But to call Sam a good friend was, well, still a bit much.

She looked at the ring with hesitation. It was obvious she was not keen on the idea, having been at the huge campfire where everything had went to s**t in her opinion. "Y-yeah."

Her perception of the other death trainee was a no nonsense person who took things seriously, was all about acquiring information and might have more in common with a robot then a human being. But she had been nice, If not a little out there for riding on a giant titan.

But hey, friends were hard to find, it wasn't like Kammy could call herself sane . Getting information was fun too, just that her methods of it were probably different to Sam's

She took the ring, slipping it through her finger. For now she didn't feel any different. "Ok I'll play along, but please don't ask me about who I want to bang. I have like zero constitution points for that sort of thing."

Sam frowned. "Why would I care about your sexual preferences?" She waved a hand as if to dismiss the thought. "That drama at the campfire was completely unnecessary and pointless to boot. All I'm curious about is what you want to bring to this militia. I myself, for instance, have a vast knowledge of zoology, a determined mind for queries, and a handle on deductive reasoning."

"Zoology?" Kammy sounded impressed. "Sounds cool. pretty good skill set, Could help with identifying some of the weird stuff thrown our way."

"As for my skills I'm good with tech. Building it, using it, hacking it. That stuffs my jam. Bypassing security's fun, trying to find out all the good stuff. Haven't found anything super secret about Deus yet. Dunno if I wanna look any further though pass the intranet. Getting caught looking at files you shouldn't would be bad."

"Set stats wouldn't necessarily have to determine the outcome," Sam argued, though she saw Kammy's point. "Isn't D&D about working with your 'party'? Tactics need to be just as thought out as character builds. There are three basic builds, yes? A 'tank,' which takes damage and aggravates enemies; a 'damage per second,' who attacks; and a 'healer,' who of course heals. When boiled down to those basic concepts, clearly the game is expecting you to work together as a team to overcome obstacles."

She could understand Sam's reasoning, but her own reasoning made much more sense. "It is, but even with tactics your character can only do so much. And you have those three archetypes yeah, but you can combine elements of each class. Make a tank who can heal, or a DPS who can take a few hits. Theres also the type of weapons you use, are we talking long range or short range. Spells, attributes, morality, and so on. More importantly you have the dungeon master who runs the whole thing. They control the setting, the NPC's, and determine the outcomes. Dice helps to keep everything level and make sense."

"Yes, but basic observational skills are not only found in the collegiate system. Though one certainly needs them and will find many who lack them," Sam added, almost dryly. "I'm sure other hunters above us have more than adequate scouting abilities simply by working here. Still."

There was a hint of a smile, in so far as Sam was able to emote thus far.

"I'm happy to hear we share a division, Kammy. If you would, this could be the start of a partnership. Your technological savvy, my analyzation skills. We could easily get the information we want with time."

But she hadn't asked a question. Right. What did one ask exactly after you found out the division, general personality, and skills of an individual...?

"It's fair to ask why you chose to came here. Or if you'd rather, what you think a recruiter saw in you?"
