Sotarou

*SNAP* Sotarou was immediately on edge as he looked around at his surroundings... followed immediately by a cavalcade of growling... which seemed to sound like it was surrounding the pair... "Damnit... I shoulda been paying more attention... we were the ones being hunted..." Out of the shadows of the forested floor stepped out healthy-sized Roaring Wolves. A pack of 4, surrounding the pair and snarling angrily. Sotarou gave a very nervous chuckle at the wolves... "I... don't suppose any of you would enjoy being called Koba...?" One of the wolves that looked much bigger gave a loud sn

"So, shall we set off, then?" That was all Sotarou needed to hear to get his mind back into the headspace! He nodded in affirmation. Looking out the safe zone boundary threshold, he took that first step... then another. And another, and soon he was just strolling towards it at a normal walking pace, until finally... he stepped beyond it. As he did, he could feel that sense of dread creep into the back of his skull, as he turned to look... only seeing Kylissia. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Maybe they are gone. Either way, let's get this going! Koba won't find himself, after all!" Hi

"Say...do you have something in mind as to what you're looking for, or would you prefer to wait for an encounter that seems fated to you?" He hadn't ever been asked that, really. But it was a simple enough answer, at least. "Actually, I have a pet in the real world that I kinda miss... a big, fluffy Siberian Husky Wolf-dog mix by the name of Koba. My dad fought like hell to get him... and I kinda miss him. Might not be the exact same... but I'm thinking a Wolf companion would feel the best to me." He looked towards the town's exit into the outside zone... a reminder of the past... bu

"Let's get to it, then." Words to live by! With a new adventuring buddy in tow, Sotarou interacted with the teleport point, using the menu that popped up to teleport himself and the woman to the third floor! "I'd found the Gypsy on this floor the other day, and had to abandon the quest because the food got corrupted somehow... maybe some sort of spoil mechanic or something...? I dunno. Either way, even if she's not here, can possibly find-" "You there." The newer voice startled Sotarou... it was a familiar voice, but still startled him as to the sudden appearance of it as he tur

Sotarou was glad for the words of comfort from this individual... Kylissia, from the party listing. She was impressed by him knowing her name...? But... "... I just... used the proximity invite. Did you not know that was a thing...?" He was a little confused... but it wasn't very important in this moment. What was important was... "Wait. I thought if each person had the quest, they could do it. Just not at the exact same time? I mean, if you want a Familiar as well, I don't mind helping you out as well. Up to you, though." He was starting to get more used to speaking... maybe it was

Sotarou was only half paying attention... she was just so damn beautiful...! And his body language certainly betrayed that thought behind his head! But when she mentioned the teleporter, it finally snapped Sotarou's mind back to the conversation as he cleared his throat once more... "Well, uhh... I mean... i-if you wanna come along, I don't... I don't mind so much... have you done the quest <<Feeding The Enemy>> yet? That's the quest I was gonna go reacquire." At the mention of her having her own set but wearing more comfortable clothing in the safe zones, he looked sligh

"It's dangerous to go alone, you know. Is there anyone you'll be meeting up with outside this floor?" The words caused the young man to jump a bit as he turned to see a tall, striking blonde woman... holy crap, she was hot! But... no! Bad! Bad thoughts! That wasn't a way to interact with people here! He cleared his throat before he spoke in response. "Umm... not really. I've tried the quest before, but just lucked out. Though gotta go back to the third floor to pick it up again. Materials are on a time limit, seems..." He shrugged. "It'll be tough, but I've fought and won several fig

The memories of the past still haunted Sotarou in the nightmares... he'd kept himself recluse and away from anyone else in town on the first floor... the day when Jarrod ended up dead just for stepping outside the gate... floor 1 was much safer nowadays with more people willing to defend against the crazies... it didn't block out the nightmares of that day... recently however... he got a pang of nostalgia seeing someone in the street playing with their Familiar... it made Sotarou miss his buddy Koba... as he lay in bed that night, he pulled up his quest list, revealing the top tracked quest, &
