[AftikSim] 2019, Cancelled, Rip

Guys we're [Determined], [Rarely miss] and we got nice endurance and luck. What about we go and hunt for some beasts? We're probably going to die but HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE???

If you want to try!

Guys we're [Determined], [Rarely miss] and we got nice endurance and luck. What about we go and hunt for some beasts? We're probably going to die but HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE???

If you want to try!

Yeah, that seems like it would be fun!

When you get better, in your free time you decide to hunt.

A 16 is rolled.

You have good luck even though you always hurt.
You pull in a fair amount of money. Half the amount needed for college.
Tell your freind or keep it a suprise?
(s0rry if this is 0ff, im pr0bably sick)

It would be better to tell them first.

It would be better to tell them first.

Yes!

You go to the cafe and tell you friend about it while they're on their shift.

"Dude, are you serious?"

"Yep. I just got lucky I thin..."
You trail off as you see an Aftik that pulls you attention. Could this feeling be....love? No, no... it must be something else. They look back at you. Walk over to them and talk?

I'll bite. Let's check this mystery Aftik out.

You walk over to the aftik. They are white, and their guiding light reminds you of pencil lead. The odd thing about them is they have a mechanical arm, and scars on their right left eye, neck, and tail.

"Hey..."

"...Hi"

"So uh... come here often?"

"Actually, I probably will, considering I just moved in yesterday."

"Oh that's cool. What's your name?"

"Lead. And yours?"

"Snow."

"That's a nice name."

"Yknow... i think you might be the house across from me..."

"Really? I'll be sure to visit sometime. You seem nice. Well... I'm going to go finish unpacking."

"See ya"
They walk off.
Your freind starts speaking to you.

"Hey lovebird, i might have to call you cherry cause your blushing so hard."

Oh god... Lead could see you blushing... oh god... they knew.
AND THEY SAID NOTHING.
You blush harder, and Stormy starts laughing.

"Yknow.... they were blushing to, just less so. I don't know how you couldn't see it.

"The doctors say i cant see color... remember?"

"Oh right. I keep forgetting. Well... I'm gonna get back to work. See ya!

"See ya!"

You and lead become great friends. You might even someday soon finally be other-friends, as they use the pronoun "It". You decide to do something special for it. What is that special thing?

S0... i w0nt be able t0 update till m0nday... at least theres m0re time f0r suggesti0ns

if there is n0 sugesti0ns by m0nday i will just wing it. m0res0 than the rest 0f the adventure

You decide to bake some cookies. It's not very special or creative but it's something.

---

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die.
A 7 is rolled.

---

You ended up burning the cookies a little bit, but they are still edible.

You walk over to Leads house and ring the doorbell. They open the door.

"Hey!"

"Hey. I baked some cookies."

"Oh, nice. Come on in."

You step inside.

As your eating cookies, you talk with Lead about how you want to get a major in Navigation. This is when you learn a life changing fact.

"Did you know you don't need a degree to be a navigator for small ships? Only large ones"

"... Your joking."

"Nope. That money you got would be better spent towards a ship and a license for said ship."

"That's great!"

"If you me and stormy all put the money together, then we might be able to get a ship right now!"

"I thought you were going to stay on Taiaptor?"

"Well... i was but..."

It glances at you.

"That brings me to a question I wanted to ask... do you want to be my boyfriend?"

This is great. The love of your life reveals they are in love to, and that you could get a ship right now.
"Yes!"
It hugs you, being careful of your back.
"Now, lets call up Stormy. Lets get decided on a ship."

You, Lead and Stormy are all looking though a catalog of ships that would best suit your intended purpose.
There's "The Apollo". It has decent defense but isn't that fast, which isn't good for traveling.
There's "The Artemis". It has better shields then "The Apollo", the same speed, but not being able to use a simple beam weapon may be an issue. It is cheaper.
There's "The Athena". Good shields and speed, but costs a bit more due to it being a higher quality ship.
There's the "Speedster". The best speed, but the worst shields. Not really special besides its ironically low carrying capacity for AI's meant to be mail-bots. Costs more but not as much.
There's the "Reusable kamikaze". It has the best shields and speed topped only by Hermes' ship. Pricey.
There's "Ship". A Ship with generic speed and shields, in-fact, the only non-generic thing about this ship is its low price. No AI.
There's an assortment of other ships to, all with no AI. The catalog says to E-mail the dealer to get more info. (just ask if you dont like any of the above ships)

The Athena might be a good idea of ship to choose.

You decided to get the Athena ship. It should arrive in a few days. you go to surprise your mom about it.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die.
A 3 is rolled. Your luck bumps this down to a 1.

But when you got there...




She..... shes dead. And that thing killed her...
it hasn't seen you...

Isn't our luck 5? I could be wrong, but I thought 5 was the "even" luck amount and didn't make you drop, but I could be wrong, and it's your game and all!

Well you have advantage, aim for the head to take it out before it can notice you.

the luck changed. because i think it can do that. i think. dont take my word for it

Get REVENGE

Get REVENGE

Seconded

You attack without thinking what really happened.

---

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die.
A 17 is rolled. 15 is your effective roll.

---

You manage to choke the Notail out. You think its dead.
...
It was the same one you saw way back when. With tears in your eyes, you go back to your friends.

Stormy:"I... i dont know what to say..."

Lead:"But... why did the Notail do it?"

You sob. You dont even know what you just said. You collapse onto the ground. Thoughts buzz through your mind.


Why did it have to be today?

---

A few days pass. The ship finally gets transported over, and Lead does the paper work. Your all good to go. But the question is... Good to go to where? Your keep on glancing at the sad, gloomy, and depressing ones...

Avesia looks pretty cool. Exotic weather, nice people, low danger level. 9/10 Would recommend.

You decide to shake off the depressing ones, and head for a much more happy place.
But where to land?
The big city.
A small city.
A town.
A desert town.

The big city

Town!

A tie in v0tes. f0rtuna will decide
A c0in is flipped. It's tails.
i guess were g0ing t0 the t0wn then

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die.
A 20 is rolled.

When you get there... someone was waiting for you.

. . .

It's your dad. It looks like he's crying, and he's rich. He comes up and hugs you.

"Snowy! I'm so, so sorry.... I never should have left you."

"What happened?"

"I took up an opportunity to get rich, and it worked! But... i couldn't go back to get you... W... Where's Mom?"

"..."
Tell the truth... or lie?

Tell the truth, he would eventually find out
