＊＊mi. She's never touched a CGI game before, let alone @Party II.
She started playing because a friend invited her.

××ko. She loves @Thwack more than eating three meals a day, but she can't learn it because her character is female. Very sad.
She invited ＊＊mi to @Party II.

Man in black. It seems he's very familiar with @Party II.
His true identity is… whoops, I guess we'll find out in the game, won't we?

So, this is the site that ××ko was talking about? “At Party 2”… right?
…it's my first time doing something like this, so I'm a little scared.

Another one… so a new hero has appeared.

Huweh!? Who are you!? Scary!

My name is… ah, that's not important right now.
To join @Party, you need to go through a certain ritual…

R-ritual!?

For this ritual, your soul is… sorry, you must create an avatar.
In your world, this is called registration…

Weren't you about to say something disturbing?

Oh, I forgot to mention. To those who have played other online games or CGI games, you probably already know what I'm talking about here.
So if this part is too elementary for you, simply jump to part two…

Who are you talking to? Anyway, where am I even supposed to do this reggie-stray-shun thing?

It will be apparent once you see it. Select @Register from the links in the left-hand column.

Let's see, so re-gis-ter… oh? What's this?

This is where you set your avatar name, sex, job, and password (a unique mantra that only you know and can remember).
In this world, people who create avatars are distinguished by their avatar name and password.
Pay attention to character input limits…

Hmm～m… well, let's quickly fill out the form then.
＊＊mi, female, Gadabout sounds pretty fun doesn't it? And then ＊＊＊＊ as my password…

Oi, wait.

What the-!? Don't scare me like that!

Once you decide your job, you won't be able to change it for a while. Each job has a different growth rate and different skills to learn.
If your initial stats are low and your growth rate is poor, you may never get stronger…
Have you taken a look at the growth rate of Gadabout? And those skills…

Where…?
Eh, ugh, wow… seems pretty bad compared to other jobs… and those skills are questionable.

Your choice of first job is quite important… my personal recommendations are Priest, Mage, Merchant, Shepherd, and MonsterMaster.

I-Is that so… well, should I try choosing mage for now then?

One more thing. It is best to avoid using your real name as your your alter ego's name.
You never know what kind of people are out there in the world…
If you let your guard down, your soul will…

R-right…

The internet is a scary place.

You're the most scary thing here.

Now then, this is the world of @Party II…

Wow… @Fortune?

That's @Party's kanban musume—the pretty girl whose job is to attract players. It seems she can do fortune-telling…
Well, that doesn't matter right now.

Now, what you can see on the screen right now are the character images, chat log, your stats, chat form, and commands.

The chat form is what I use to write to the chat log, right?

That's correct, but in @Party II the chat is also used to perform actions.
Try writing @Examine from the commands section below.

Woah! My information appeared!

If writing out commands is too troublesome, you can simply click on commands too… next, try entering @Move.

Oh, huh?? What's all this stuff that's appeared?

It's a list of places you can go. To specify a destination, you write >Destination…
Try entering @Move followed by >Quest.

Ooh, I'm at the place where I can go on a quest!

This is the basis of @Party…
Type a command with @ to execute it, and use > to specify a target.
Well, most people just click on the commands and the images.

Now then, let's go on a quest. To create a party, you need to type @Make.
Various things will show up, but for now, decide on a PartyName and choose PuniPuniPlain as the QuestLocation…
Please do it like that…

Okay, okay.

Ah, one thing I forgot to mention…
If you press the Speak button without writing anything, the chat log will update. This feature is useful, so please make use of it.
However, it is said that if you press it too quickly, you will fall into an eternal sleep, so be careful.

What the hell, that's scary…
Anyway, the quest has begun hasn't it? There's no enemies here, so I guess I press @Proceed, right?

Right. Once you have killed all the enemies, you can proceed to the next round by pressing @Proceed. There are no enemies at all on round 0, however…

An enemy! To attack I… use @Attack, right!?

Right. And remember, if you use > to specify the name of the enemy, you will target them…
You can also target an enemy by simply clicking on their character image.

I beat it! Take that!

…………

…uh, sorry 'bout that…

…I'll tell you right now, if you keep going, you'll eventually run out of HP, at which point you should retreat by using @RunAway. HP can be recovered by using @Home and then using @Sleep.

Isn't there a boss or something?

The bosses are on Round 10 of every quest location, but it's impossible for you with those stats and no special skills.

(´･ω･｀)

Yoo-hoo! I see you were able to register just fine.

(It's ××ko! Her level's so high…) Yup. Some guy in black clothing helped me.

Black clothing…? Who's that?
Nevermind, let's go on a quest together!

Quest together?

In @Party, you can go on quests with other players.
I'll make the room for you!

Woah… sounds fun!

Forming a party doesn't change the basics.
However, the overall damage you receive will change depending on your location in the party, and timing becomes a little more relevant.
The rear receives lower damage overall, so use @Rear.

Okaay.

Let our quest commence! When you're in a party, the important thing to remember is that when you move, the enemy moves too!
It doesn't matter if the weaker one (you) or the stronger one (I) moves twice in a row, the enemy will move twice either way.

……huh???

Basically, weak players shouldn't move until they're instructed to! If you move carelessly, it'll only cause more damage to us.

O-okay… (´･ω･｀)

Right, defend yourself now.

Rodger that! @Defend @Defend @Defeeend!!!

Wait, wait!! Calm down!!!

@Def-hueh?

I told you before! When you move, the enemy moves too.
You don't have to keep re-applying the defense since it will remain active until the battle is over, unless you move.
If you move recklessly, we'll suffer additional damage, which will only make things worse for us.

I-is that so? Sorry…

It's alright, just so long as you understand.

You're awfully bossy…

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Hi-tension ＠Swoosh!!!

Awesome! And you beat the boss on round 10 too!

Heheheh! Praise me more!

No way.

(｀ε´) hmph

By the way, we've gone ahead and found a treasure chest. The way to open it is to use @Examine>the TreasureChest you want to open.

Gotcha! Inside there is…

However, the treasure chest was empty…

-wha, what the crap is thiiisss!?!?

Don't worry about it.
After opening the treasure chest, we can disband by using @RunAway.

You appear to be doing well in your quests…

Uwah!… what do you want, man in black?

You don't have to be so scared…

No matter. How far have you come in @Party?

Uh, I can beat MushroomForest on my own now. HauntedCastle is still a challenge without others…
And my equipment still has a long way to go.

Equipment… come to think of it, I didn't show you how to use the facilities.
I'll show you now…

Huh? No, I know how to use the WeaponShop and all that…

How adorable. Some of the facilities I'm about to show you can be detrimental to you if used improperly.
Just because you know how to use the WeaponShop does not mean you know everything about @Party…

I… I see…

Allow me to explain. First, next to Quest you will find the Casino.
This place is a so-called amusement center. It is not for you, with so little money…
If you exchange all your money for coins, you will end up in serious trouble…

I'd never do something that stupid…

Next. As the name suggests, the Vault is a place to store your items…
If it is full, you will not be able to obtain more items, so be careful…

Do better Nikita-san! Only allowing 15 items makes things impossible!

The more you change jobs, the more capacity you will have. In short, you're the one who must do better.

…e-eeh～…

…next. The WeaponShop, ArmorShop, and ItemShop are places where you can buy equipment.
This is only an introduction, but in the early stages of the game I recommend the BronzeKnife and other daggers and Robe-type clothing…
You can recover your strength at PattysBar. If you don't wish to sleep, you should come here…
The recovery amounts for each option on the menu is listed in the manual, so choose the option that best suits your needs…

Sensei, how come you don't have any friends?

On the second line, you will find the TombolaHouse.
Here you can use the tombola tickets you received from eating and drinking at PattysBar to win prizes…

Don't ignore me…

It wasn't nice.
Next. MontysFarm is… well, as the name suggests, it's a place where monsters are kept.
Just like the Vault, it has a maximum capacity of 50 monsters, so be warned. Well, that won't be too much of a problem unless you've been playing for a long time…

You say that as if I haven't been…

That is the case, is it not?

ｏｈ，Ｙｅｓ．

The PhotoContestHall is… a screenshot contest where each “photo contest” is held.
Well, this place doesn't matter so much to beginners, but if you don't erase your screenshots regularly, you will be unable to take more, so be warned.
This will be the last one for now. The OracleShop sells things that I don't really understand. They're mostly useless, so don't expect too much…

How does a store like that make any money?

You shouldn't make such remarks about stores in a game…

Well, next up is… the MedalKingsPalace…

I can pretty much guess this one by the name.

I must introduce you to all the facilities regardless…
At the MedalKingsPalace, you can use the medals you've offered to obtain items…

…huh? Why am I unable to offer a medal here?

Try using the medals while in your own home…

W-why am I able to offer medals from home…!

Next. AlltradesAbbey cannot be ignored in @Party. This is where you change jobs…
As I mentioned in the first part, when changing jobs, you should check the growth rate and skills of the new job and plan accordingly.
Be prepared, especially if you intend to be a Gadabout…

Wow, that's scary.

The ExchangePlaza next door… can be used for fortune-telling.

…huh? Was that it?

That was it…

The AuctionHouse can be used to discuss trades and transactions.

Discuss trades and transactions.

At the EventSquare, there is nothing.

There is nothing.
…is way, way too short of a description, regardless of what it is. How is a beginner supposed to understand any of this?

If the description is short, it's a place that doesn't really matter to beginners. Do not think too much about it for now.

…well, I guess that's all you can tell me about those for the time being…

There really is very little more to the ExchangePlaza and AuctionHouse than what I described above…
I have heard rumors of traveling merchants visiting the EventSquare every once in a while… but there needs to be a large crowd of people, or so the story goes…

Next. The FountainOfWishes. This requires great caution​.

Huh? What do I need to be cautious of?

You have played for a while now, so you should be aware of your job's SP.
Here, you can exchange SP for stats…

Hmm～. Well, let's try exchanging some no-

This is where the important part begins. SP stands for skill points; the more skill points you accumulate, the more powerful skills for your job you will learn.
However, if your skill points drop below the number of skill points required to obtain a given skill, that skill will become unavailable once more. This is extremely important.

At the FountainOfWishes, your SP is consumed and converted into stat increases, so naturally your SP will decrease. If your SP falls below the requirements of a given skill… you understand, yes?

(゜Д゜)…?

You disappoint me.

H-harsh…

In short, avoid using this place. As much as possible.

O-okaay…

This is the last one for now, the AltarOfResurrection. It does not yet concern you.

L-lame! You're really gonna end it on that note!?

Yes, do you have a problem with that?

Ｏｈ．．．

※You can use the AltarOfResurrection by offering 6 different orbs while at @Home.
The ancient divine bird Ramia will be resurrected, and they will give you an item that allows you to quest in a special location.
