Lately there's been many stories about how Elvis Impersonators have been going around disconnecting people and making MU a living hell for us honest, innocent (I hope) and decent people. There's a perpetual air of sorrow and rage hanging around MuHQ as people talk about how they can't stay in the game for more than 10 minutes in one go due to the many famous singers going around, swinging their arms wildly like maniacs and blasting loads of people to purgatory (out of MU, that is)

Let's have a moment of silence for these people - the poor chaps.

BUT!

Here's a story with a different tone to it! For once, an Elvis Impersonator has made the lives of several people in Lorencia, Server 8, fruitful ones indeed! Pack away those incredulous looks, people... it's true!

Our little tale begins in the small yet prosperous seaside town of Lorencia, on the western bridge (the one leading to Devias). I was there, happily buying potions from the cute little potions girl (trying to flirt with her and convince her to give me a discount, those potions are expensive!) when suddenly, a black shadowy figure came up from behind me, an ominous 'Ahahaha' written in blood red font hanging over his head.

"Oh dear." My throat went dry as he stepped closer. In desperation, I tried to activate my cyclone skill, but it was too late! He swung his fist!

POW!

Ahahaha: Outlaw level 2 Warning

I was dead.

Now, you all might say that he might just be an extremely powerful PKer, but I can assure you, he was an Elvis Impersonator. Why do I say that? For one, his punch did a measly 4 damage, but I fell over dead immediately. Not to mention he was teleporting all over the place. More on that later!

Noooo! He could be doing unspeakable things to the cute potions girl even as I ran as quickly as possible back to her (which wasn't very quick, since we can't run in town... stupid 'no running in town' regulation!) If she were to suffer harm, would she not blame me for not helping her in her time of need? Would she not charge me extra zen for my precious, shiny, delicious potions? O_O

I rushed back, and met another DK along the way. Quickly informing him of the presence of a hacker at the bridge, we both rushed over to him.

Thank the lords, cute potions girl is still safe! I charged him with a cyclone, but both of us died at the same time for some unfathomable reason. As my body sank into the ground, however, I saw him reappear right next to the bridge. If that's not being an Elvis Impersonator, I don't know what is.

Anyways, the 2 of us continued to take turns to hunt him (one going up to distract him, and the other killing him with a skill) until we both had hero status. And as our fights continued, more and more people came over, until we had a massive audience, including wingers and people with jaw-droppingly SHINY sets. In the end, we all began to take turns hunting the poor man, until every single one of us there had hero status (and had died about a bajillion times, including the wingers)

Still, we all kept coming back, as did the Elvis Impersonator, and soon we were all hanging around on the bridge conversing comfortably with one another.

Basically, our conversations went like this:

"Hey, you go next, k?"
"^^ alright"
"^^"
"^^"
"^^"
"^^"
"^^"
"^^"
Ahahaha: Outlaw level 2 Warning
[insert someone's name]: hero

By the end of half an hour, we were all comrades in arms, brothers fighting for the same cause, heroes (literally) fighting for the same ends! We started partying each other just for the heck of it, showing each other's sets and sighing in envy at the jaw-droppingly SHINY ones. Heck, even the Elvis Impersonator joined in our conversations at times!

Such wonderful friendship!

Such youthful power!

Such heroic deeds!

And all brought about by the actions of good 'ole Ahahaha - Elvis Impersonator Extraordinaire.
