  1. It was hard to keep up with his partner, heaving heavily as soon as they came to a stop and holding a hand up, as if asking for help. When she passed him the weapon, he looked up at her to accept it and then promptly plopped on to the ground, leaving the practice blade next to him and trying to pace his breathing. "One... One moment...", he huffed and wiped some sweat from his forehead, feeling his legs almost burn up from the inside. He hadn't done this in a while and his body was still tired as ever, even though he felt like he was making for a pretty swift recovery so far. "It's... Hoo
  2. Chase was somewhat amused upon seeing NIGHT go through the whole process of putting her shoes on properly, rather than just equipping them through her inventory, but... he shrugged and thought to give it a try. He took his shoes out of his inventory and after two, at least, years, he tried putting them on normally. Something so casual, so mundane felt almost new to him, which shocked him more than one would imagine. "Good god.", he grumbled almost out of embarrassment, looking up at NIGHT as he stood up himself and nodding. "We won't take too long DAY.", the vanguard tried to reassure th
  3. Chase was resting his elbows on his knees, hacking to clear his throat and turning to DAY to give a smile and a small thumbs up. "Thank you... blegh.", he expressed gratitude with a slight chuckle, before turning to look at NIGHT with furrowed eyebrows. Maybe combat would be a bit too intensive for now, even if it was just with sticks... It's not like beating boars around would be much exercise to him anyway. "N-No no, it's alright, let's go for a run. It'd do me good to... move a bit, you know. I haven't uh... gotten the chance to in a while...", he mumbled and fumbled, looking up at her and
  4. Chase had gone through all of it by now. He'd gotten sick, gotten better, gotten worse, gone through a fever and some incredible downtime, and it wasn't anywhere close to ending by the looks of it. He quietly sat at the couch, playing with Blizz and petting the little rascal who was trying to reach up to his knees and cuddle him. And around then, he heard DAY speak up and looked up, grinning at the offer and accepting the bowl. "There's some for you and Nyanko over there, go go.", he chuckled and watched the pangolin scuttle over, before they both started to dig in. And then he was addres
  5. Chase grinned slightly at NIGHT thanking him, happy that he wasn't being a thorn in her side. Right now, he could probably rest, and a bit easier at that. His vision, his hearing all started to blur out again before he got snapped back to reality by the feeling of Nyanko landing near him. He gave him a small smile when he began to purr, still wincing from the occasional pain but trying his best not to be too loud about it. He realised that the two were leaving the room and tried to put on a grin, nodding to NIGHT's offer and accepting it without putting up much resist or anything. "Aye.",
  6. Blizz quietly looked at the snack and grabbed it with his little hands, clawing at it while keeping his eyes right on Chase throughout. Once he'd chipped a part of it off, he grabbed it with his tongue and took it to his mouth, continuing to watch. He turned around to look at DAY and NIGHT almost argue, before turning his attention to Nyanko. He seemed a bit calmer, but still somewhat put off. Blue's grunts and groans continued alongside his uncomfortable shifting around, but he tried his best to not be too loud about it, knowing everybody was on edge because of him. With everything blurr
  7. Everything was blurry, blending together and Chase was starting to have trouble telling what was going on, as though he was on a different speed from his surroundings. Slower, much slower. The next thing he knew was that he was on the bed, and his entire body felt heavier, be it from exhaustion or the blanket. Blizz had ended up next to him, looking at the vanguard quietly and plopping down next to him, with his two claws in front of himself, watching his master patiently. "Where's..?", he tried asking for NIGHT, but in what seemed like a blink, DAY was next to him. The towel on his foreh
  8. Blizz seemed absolutely ecstatic at the fact he was being babied, considering he'd spent all this time with Chase, plus the boy never went to such lenghts. Just went to prove though, the pangolin could grow a liking, hell, love even to anyone that did him justice. Blueberry on the other hand, did his best to get up and gave a small, tired smile to DAY. Maybe too tired out of nowhere, for how he seemed upon entering. "Thank you.", and with that they started making way for the guest room. With a few small beads of sweat starting to form on Chase's face, his breathing got a bit heavier and h
  9. Chase flinched with NIGHT's truthful statement, remaining quiet for a bit. Although her gemini was quick to go right to the bright side of things, it still was somewhat worrysome when put that way. Even more so if he took a moment to process that the rogue too, had been hoarding information the same way Bistro and partially he had been. There was little he could add with how he'd been since getting sick, so he just quietly watched the two interact and gave a nod at the end. His familiar on the other hand wasn't anywhere near as quiet, enjoying DAY's petting and doing his best to cuddle he
  10. Chase only tensed up more upon hearing DAY explain how shaken NIGHT was that day, quietly trying to collect himself as they both noticed the player returning. Although with a slightly uncomfortable look, he tried to not show much to the rogue, being her houseguest for the time. A more grateful smile just took over, although faintly. "H-Hey, if something happens to the couch, I can help fix it. Although I haven't heard of a furniture breaking in SAO...", he grumbled and accepted the drink with a grin, which slowly became more awkward as they talked about how sick he was, looking to the sid
  11. Chase stiffened a bit upon being corrected by DAY, as though he was being scolded. It went without saying though that NIGHT cared for everyone. If she didn't, then neither of her 'guests' would be in her house right now, let alone staying over. "A-Aye, I mean, of course she cares about everyone. I think that's a given." Although the conversation steered towards gossip for a moment before DAY switched the topic of the conversation to Nyanko, the blueberry didn't usually show interest in such talks. Then again, he'd been out of the loop for so long, he'd take any conversation he could. "You
  12. Chase remained quiet as the gemini and the player exchanged words, quietly shifting his glances from one to another with little to add himself. "They really almost are the same in some ways...", he nodded to himself and smiled at DAY as soon as she steadied him, giving her a small laugh. "Thank you. Don't worry abo-", his words were cut short as he suddenly got picked up, his whole body tensing as he squealed. "A-Aah?!" From that point onwards, he blanked out a bit and missed out on their exchange, until he realised they were moving. He was more surprised than anything, although it wasn't
  13. When they'd eventually arrived at the estate, Chase smiled upon hearing DAY's voice. When the door opened, he chuckled out of excitement and walked in with a grin from ear to ear. "It's been rough, but I'm hanging in there! It's been so-", he was about to start ranting, but another few coughs threw him off. Maybe he was overdoing it for his current condition, trying to get louder than he ought to. NIGHT seemed to have said all that needed to be said, with the boy nodding his head to her explanation, until she got to the whole reason of his cold. "W-Well, I don't know what's wrong. But I'm
  14. It had definitely been a while since he walked a fair bit in a single day, let alone this distance at this pace. Although he found himself somewhat sort of breath, he shook his head at her and let out a low chuckle as if to settle her down however much he could. "Yeah, don't worry. I haven't gotten any dizzy spells this time.", he teased, hoping she would see through it and not start worrying about the 'this time' part too much. Chase really did appreciate her reassuring words too though, even if he didn't comment on them right away. This definitely wasn't the first time he thanked her to
  15. Chase was about to joke about stealing hot water from her with a remark around the lines of "You have a bath, don't you?", but she said it herself, and meant it too. Once again, Chase was very happy to see yet another joke turned into additional hospitality. Very well then! "Aye, expect an empty water reserve, if there even is one then!", he warned her ahead of time and then heard her next question. He quietly looked around, unsure. Had it changed? Had he just gotten too used to the 'new' floor if it had, to the point where he couldn't tell? It felt a bit darker and rougher overall, but n
  16. He could keep up his life as per usual alright. It wouldn't really be a big issue to continue as per usual, he'd just have to get used to her living quarters and house layout for a bit. And that'd come with the perk of being looked after in case his condition got any worse again. "Well, I only used it to sleep back when I kept grinding on the daily. Even for food and such, I just went around the floors and bought my lunch and dinner from stalls. I made some breakfast at home, but.", he stopped himself from derailing any further and with a shake of his head, the bluehead sighed and coughed
  17. With how Chase could fit an entire house even in his inventory, he'd never bothered with anything like wardrobes or other decorative furniture in the past. That aside, he'd gotten into the habit of never really changing out of his jacket and shorts except for when he went somewhere especially cold, and obviously with no combat encounters. He'd been blindsided a few times early on and chose to rarely take his armor off because of it. "Aah, um... I've a pair of pyjamas I guess in my inventory if that's what you mean? I don't have too many spare clothes, but I can mix and match a bit p
  18. NIGHT being quiet overall made the tour go by pretty quickly, and he hoped it wasn't very unpleasant too. When they reached his room, he couldn't really tell if she was uncomfortable or not, but he hoped she didn't feel too out of her element. And after inspecting the room, she eventually picked up the framed picture. Chase's expression quickly softened as he looked at the picture rather than NIGHT or the frame, letting out a small sigh, more so of nostalgia. "Yeah. That's important alright.", he nodded to her and before he stretched his arm out to her, he asked with a tired, yet happy sm
  19. Chase was somewhat taken aback from the request, but he didn't mind really. He had few rooms fully decorated though, seeing as he spent most time out on the field killing monsters or clearing dungeons, and now he was homestuck because of his predicament. As a whole, the rooms would seem very empty, but such is the state of his humble abode. He nodded and placed the tea on the coffee table before he decided to replace the cup with Blizz' round form. "Aye, come here. Leave the tea on the table.", he gestured and with a motion of his head, asked her to follow along into the kitchen. He show
  20. If NIGHT was making out her gemini to be some form of pet, then what would that make Chase? He didn't mind sleeping on a couch if he had to though- guest room would do it, NIGHT's own bed would probably feel a bit too intrusive, and the couch was a mighty fine place to call home as well. The answer NIGHT seemed to be waiting for though was an absolute no brainer. With a toothy grin, he gave her a nod one last time. "Aye, gotcha. So I'll go pack some stuff like my gear and I'll come over to your home with you when it's time for you to leave.", he announced with an almost childish excitemen
  21. Although initially he meant it as a joke, the more he processed it with a blank expression and his eyes fixed on her, the more appealing the idea sounded. He was always a fan of DAY and NIGHT, so it wouldn't be bad to have some more company while he was still recovering. From just mopping around a huge house all on his own, it might even help him get back on his feet mentally too. Then again, hadn't they just mentioned NIGHT's new girlfriend? "Well, there is an issue though. You said you got a girlfriend, didn't you? If I sleep in the guest room, then where will DAY sleep? And also the is
  22. "Yeah, definitely the same guy. I doubt there's many Kogas running around anyways...", he said with a low laughter that turned into a dry cough- maybe the only one not caused by his condition and just out of awkwardness. If NIGHT trusted him so much though, then that was good. It meant he was good people, even if he did... try to bite off more than he could chew, from what Chase had seen in their single encounter. Had there been another one, he'd forgotten about it. But then again, nobody could remember everyone they'd met with, especially in this environment. When he saw how NIGHT's face
  23. Before NIGHT's stuttering was even over, Chase had picked up both of his hands from his grumbling pet and started clapping happily, laughing and giving her a smile. "Good job!", he congratulated her and gave her a thumbs up, alongside a toothy grin. "I'm really happy for you. You don't usually share a lot about yourself, so I was kind of taken aback from you sharing your name with me. I hope you feel safe with her.", he shared his thoughts aloud and just laughed again, only for the laughter to turn into another small fit. He got up for a moment afterwards, heading just a bit further where
  24. "Things were that bad that a single person made the difference?", he asked somewhat shocked, surprised that it fell up to this 'Hirru'. However he was, he should probably be thankful that he was present at the boss fight. Otherwise, the King would be dead at best and the players would have gotten more than just vocal about their decision at worst. Closing his eyes and internally thanking Hirru, whoever or wherever he was, he let out a deep breath and kept listening to his friend's tales. Her proposal was enough to get the boy to smile once again, giving her an energetic nod and coughing o
  25. As if the name of the guild dropped just now wasn't unsettling enough, their course of action was foreboding in more than one ways too. If they were this willing to put down a boss, who's to say what they'd do if they were to actually find out about DAY. That was definitely where NIGHT's conflict came from, if not the unsettling implications of subjugating everything in the game like some form of conquerors. His smile had completely faded and even turned into a small, troubled frown as he looked to the side at his sword, letting out a deep sigh and remembering when he'd clashed with the g
