<<'Just sore from last round. It happened on Friday I think.'>>

[Note to self. Do not tell John about his sad beatdowns. It just ends in his friend overworrying. He doesn't want that.]

<<'It's all virtual pretty much. You feel the pain, but you don't get those injuries really. You won't get killed in battle either, although apparently dying isn't permanent here anyways.

We're in a fighting game. Players pull weapons out of the Weapons and fight with those. We're talking swords, guns, the whole shebang. It's biznasty crazy what apparently can come out of people.

So really this is all a major fucking beatdown where people don't die but it hurts like a bitch.'>>
