Silver Mercy
Ah, it has been such a good day today. A group of schoolkids from Okinawa visited today! They didn’t undergo any of the trials, but wanted to learn about the temple, and several of them wanted to play hide and seek with my avatar.
Exotic Pleasures
I’m happy for you. Thankfully, the only kids in my area are with family members who have set up businesses there. Had a bit of bad business recently with kids who were too young to even drive sneaking into the dungeon.
Lament
Kids sneaking into YOUR dungeon? Oof. Poor kids.
Morte
What happened to them?
Exotic Pleasures
My first floor bosses staged a minor rebellion. Basically left the boss room, captured the kids almost as soon as they entered, and then called me to deal with the situation.
Resident Evil
They can do that?
Exotic Pleasures
One of the downsides of having a bound creature as a boss is that they still have some autonomy, unless you’re hovering over their shoulder, micromanaging everything.
Palace
So, what did you do?
Exotic Pleasures
To the bosses? I punished them both with a few rounds in the Breeding Halls.
Palace
I… would rather not know what that entails. What about the children?
Exotic Pleasures
Slapped slave collars on them, then took them to the Adventurer’s Guild where one of their fathers worked. Was a bit heavy-handed in the price I extracted to turn them over, but I wanted to stop this from happening again.
Palace
What price?
Exotic Pleasures
Well, it was a conditional sale. First, the slave collars had to stay on, for three years. Second, the kids had to announce to the school, the Guild forums, and all their social media accounts the full terms of this sale, and why they were getting punished like this. Third, since they were so interested in sex, I made it so they have to get ‘experience’ with a family member, once a day, for the next three years. And if any of them miss a day, the sale is called off, and they all return to me.
Niflheim
Brutal. You’ve basically destroyed their lives. Was there a point to the cruelty?
Palace
Yes, it was brutal, but it was far lighter than what he could have done, and I’m sure that everyone who knows him is aware of it. Bringing down the hammer of justice hard upon these kids may prevent future problems.
Exotic Pleasures
That was my thinking, yes. Also, I negotiated with the American Guild, and anyone not recognized as an adult by the System will have to have an adult in their party if they go into dungeons. Some adventurers are already calling them ‘babysitting’ runs on the forums. And I set up a barrier around the contract table in my dungeon so that anyone who isn’t an adult, as determined by the System, will have to experience the dungeon on Nightmare mode.
Resident Evil
Huh. That’s a smart play, Pleasures. I think I’ll do something like that for my dungeon, too. While I haven’t had too many kids try and make their way into my dungeon, I can see how this will help things.
Exotic Pleasures
Thank you. I’ll put the barrier schematics up on the Global exchange for 1 Anima, if anyone wants it. Feel free to repost on your local and regional exchanges, too.
Silver Mercy
Not that I mind, but why the generosity?
Exotic Pleasures
For the same reason I was about to nuke Freedomland. These things help keep dungeons being ‘dangerous, but useful’, rather than getting people screaming, “Why won’t someone think of the children?”
Sangue
Ah, yeah. Even the worst of the worst have kids. Or they get put down by those that do.
Freedomland
GAH! DIE ALREADY, YOU STUPID FUCKS!
Morte
Having trouble, Freedom? <snickers>
Freedomland
Laugh it up. These invaders are using MINING EQUIPMENT and are just digging straight through my walls! None of the traps are working, because they all get destroyed, and any of my kobolds who get close either get run over, or killed by guards with guns and body armor!
Silver Mercy
Oh, my. Looks like you’re having to deal with the consequences of your actions. I’m sorry, Freedomland, but you brought this upon yourself.
Freedomland
They’re almost to my core room! Please, call it off! I’ll be good, I promise!
Sangre
Your promises are worth nothing. You had your chance. Now you die.
Palace
The judgement has been made. The sentence is being carried out. If you had wished for leniency, you should have asked earlier. We will not intervene.
Exotic Pleasures
But, don’t worry, Freedom. It isn’t like any of us can tell you what to do in your own dungeon, right? You’re the one who was saying how big and bad he was. I’m sure you’ll be just fine without us doing anything.
Freedomland
No! Please! WAIT, DON’T TOUCH THAT! YOU FILT—
Dungeon: Freedomland has been destroyed. Access privileges revoked.
Dungeon: Scaleskin has been given Global DEN access. Reason: Conquered a dungeon with access in a Dungeon War.
Scaleskin
Uh, hello?
Exotic Pleasures
Welcome, Scaleskin, and congratulations on your victory. Not that I had any doubts about a follower of mine dominating in a Dungeon War.
Scaleskin
Follower of yours? I’m a follower of Kuronoth, God of Dungeons!
Exotic Pleasures
Yes, and while we don’t like to go announcing it everywhere, he and I are one and the same. I am both dungeon and god, though I admit having God of Dungeons added to my domain was unintentional.
Silver Mercy
It was a surprise to the rest of us, as well. But congratulations on your victory, Scaleskin. I hope you will prove more temperate in your dealings than Freedomland proved himself to be.
Scaleskin
Well. Um. Yeah, I have the dungeon contracts for my dungeon, based off the model that Resident Evil showed me. Seemed smart at the time, and the adventurers keep coming back, so that has to mean something.
Palace
It does, indeed. Now, since you are new to the Global DEN, let me go over the rules, and then we can get to the introductions.
