Tira eyed Arlock as he came around. She let go of the pendant that was around Kazu's neck. "Your right. This isn't." The Knight removed the sword from it's hilt, and ran her finger along the runes on the blade. The runes started to glow red and she then tapped the floor with her sword, the floor around the four of them started to turn blue, and then three blue rings circled around them. A moment later they were teleported away to a different location.
A few players actually noticed the four disappearing, and they started to ask each other a few things. However most of them ignored it, since it didn't concern them.
Megumi shook her head at Tiffi and Terra, she didn't get those two. She then looked over at where Jin, Tira, Kazu, and that other person had been. "Must be something important... I'll have to ask Jin later..." The mage then stood up, and started to leave the bar.
Kazu, Arlock, Jin, and Tira all now stood in the middle of a empty bar like area. It was a bit different. While the last bar had been made entirely of wood, this bar seemed a have a more solid make, like brick walls, and it seemed to have a bit more modern feel to it. There were a few booths with cushioning, and the stools at the bar had cushioning as well. The whole place seemed like it had never been used before, which was very likely. The three players could safely say they had never seen a place like this before in the game.
Jin looked around. "Ah. This must be something for that new town eh?" Kazu chuckled a bit, and then chimed in. "Yeah, the unnamed one thats being developed..."
Tira looked at them both, then to the pendant's. "We can talk about that later.... But for now I need to try and explain to you a bit about what those... things are." She pointed at the pendant on Kazu's chest. "To put it simply, they are a program that you can run like a skill. However I'm not sure how you can exactly use them. It seems like someone did some hacking when summoners were still around. As I see it those are like a catalyst. You use those to activate a summoning... However..." She paused and looked at the two of them. "Neither of you have a monster to summon. You see, back when summoners were around, they started off with a set summon monster. But as they gained levels, they could create their own, and that custom summon could be anything. In very rare cases, the monster could gain the ability to speak... In a way you could call it a virtual pet. It would learn how to act depending on it's Summoner actions."
She looked at the two pendants. "Although from what little info I could get from analyzing Kazu's, It seems it is programmed to summon only a specific thing. It also seems a part of it is missing, a important part of the program. I could investigate more, but they seem to be tied into your characters data. I would risk damaging it if I tried.." Tira paused and shook her head. "I can't do that mind you if I wanted. Only if I was given a order to do so from higher ups..." A shake of her head followed this. "Well unless you have any questions for me, I'll send you back to town. Also, if you come across anything else, You both have my Member Address now. I usually never give it out, but I feel that you will need it."
Kazu looked at the pendant arching a brow. "I see.... This could be fun!" He smiled a bit as he thought about the possibility of having a monster to fight along side him. Jin shook his head quietly. "Just don't go around flaunting those things. We don't want anyone else getting involved in this." The polearm chuckled some. "So any questions for Tira before we go Arlock?"
