Okay, Conquest needs to win this round, so who wants to fight me? I'd rather fight people from Fortitude so that you don't get tortured when I beat you, but if someone from Conquest really really wants to battle I guess I won't say no.

Anyone up for a fight? I won't go easy on you!

And hey, Arthur! I got you something!

[ he sounds interested ]

What did you get?

[pennypincher]

It's an upgrade ring! I don't know what it does yet, but it should definitely make your weapon stronger.

[igirisu]

Upgrade ring?

[ he sounds confused ]

We'll have to find out I suppose...

[pennypincher]

[ And there he is! She holds the ring out to him. ]

Man, this totally better be worth it. I saw some mega-useless upgrades listed in that manual...

[igirisu]

[ taking it ]

How do you use it?

[pennypincher]

I think you just put it on. Then a symbol appears on it. I hope so, anyway, since I don't have any of my own yet. The manual has a list of abilities and what symbols represent them, so we can use that to figure out what it is.

[ She holds up her copy. Always be prepared! ]

[ putting it on... ]

[pennypincher]

[ WATCHES INTENTLY, flipping the book open to the section on upgrades... ]

[igirisu]

[ soon the symbol of "dark" glows on the ring ]

That's it?

[pennypincher]

Looks like it... [ She glances from the ring to the book and back again a couple of times. ] Dark element! I guess that's okay... [ She'd been hoping for something flashier, but oh well. ]

[igirisu]

We'll have to find out what it's good for.

[pennypincher]

The book says it's strong to Light element weapons, but weak to them too. And you'll get hurt by healing abilities... [ That's just weird. ]
