David Parsons

David forced himself to cough so he could place his hand over his mouth so he wouldn't say anything stupid after Olivia mentioned dating. In truth David hadn't even given dating a thought in the real world, let alone here. So he chose to ignore that comment and light blush that crept onto his face and move on. It would be easier for both of them that way. 

David listened to Olivia's instructions about where to head, and it ended with his saying Pardon? As David understood almost none of the directions that she said. Right, right, left, right, up, down, turn upside down and then knock on the door. Got it. David said with a nod that reflected his confusion. Care to say that again, but a bit slower this time? David asked as he followed Olivia through the town. David hadn't really explored the town, he really just hid until a while ago. So he didn't really know where they where.

David waved goodbye to his and Olivia's savor and said his farewells. â€‹See-ya! David then turned back to Olivia and gave her a smile. He listened to her talking and when she finished he gave his response. Sure. I would gladly go out with you again. Er, i mean to train. Not that your not attractive, i just mean- I'm just going to stop talking now. David could feel the heat in his cheeks, it was more from the embarrassment of him getting tongue tied then anything else. David was still in shock from how close to death Olivia had come, and it had started messing with his thoughts.

David let out a sigh and shook his head clear. You know what i meant. David said with a small laugh as his own embarrassment. Would you mind me walking you back to where you are staying? It would be easier to meet there then out at the gates. David said to Olivia, recovering from his earlier stuff up. David also lifted his spear up from the ground and put it along his shoulders. He then put both arms along it to balance it out, as he always feels paranoid in this world when he doesn't have his weapon out, and this stance looks a lot less threatening to the other low level players that do not wish to fight.

Again, thank you. You really saved us. I'm not sure if i could have went on if the only friend i made here just died right in front of me. David said to his and Olivia's savor as they made their way back to the main city. We never got your name. I'm David, and this is Olivia. David said as he put his hand on his friend's shoulder. The contact reassured him that she was still here, and that she didn't die and he was imagining this whole thing.

So, what was that skill you used to save us? David asked, as he now felt it was a good idea to invest in it as soon as he could. It seemed to have a guarantee hit, and let him attack first, instead of the AI taking initiative. Then again, the AI taking initiative was more due to David being unsure of his attacks, but this skill would help with that.

When that spear missed, all David could think about was that he had failed. He was off balance from his attack and the boar, and the Boar's AI would tell it to attack Olivia, who was not in any position to take an attack. He had really stuffed this up. He had failed not only himself, but more importantly, he had failed Olivia. 

David couldn't be happier when he heard the yelling of someone else. The light of a sword skill lit up as the Boar as cut into oblivion seemed like a light from the creator. With the boar dead, David fell on his back out of sheer emotional exhaustion. He was not used to being this worried, but the again, this was the closest to death he had ever been.

David met Olivia's eyes with his own when she looked at him, he even tried to give her a smile, but it looked like he was struggling to smile. David got back up as Olivia looked away and moved over to crouch next to her. As she started to talk, David knew she wouldn't be stopping anytime soon. So, in his worried state, decided it would be a good idea to wrap his arm around her shoulders and pull her into a half hug, as he still had his spear in the other hand.

It's fine Olivia. Its fine. David said, worry evident in his voice. Thank you sir, we would have been in trouble if it wasn't for you. David said to the man that had saved Olivia. David now considered himself in debt to this stranger, as he succeeded where David had failed. David let go of Olivia and stood back up. David then offered her his hand to Olivia. Lets get back to town. David said to her as he turned back to the stranger. Would you mind coming with us? We are in no position to fight, and you seem to be able to handle yourself well enough.

David rested the shaft of his spear on one shoulder as Olivia ran ahead and taunted him for not keeping up with her. He let out a soft, relaxed laugh at her antics as he though to himself 'Who knows, maybe things wont be so bad. This may be possible after all.' David let himself relax a bit, thinking that he didn't need to be so edgy. that's when disaster struck. 

Olivia! You alright? David asks as he runs between her and the Boar, stopping it from attacking her again. As the Boar charged, David thrust his spear, aiming for it's head. Just before the spear connected, the Boar tripped, and that caused the spear to miss the target entirely.

David saw the boar attack at his new friend so he yelled out to it trying to catch it's attention. Hey, fatty! Over here! Unfortunately for David, his plan worked a bit too well. Instead of distracting it and him attacking first, the boar decided it would attack first. It swung it's tusks at David wildly and hit him on the arm. David saw his health bar deplete and knew that he should really try blocking or dodging these attacks.

Once the Boar had finished it's attack, David saw an opportunity to attack, and he planned on taking it this time. He held his spear tightly and made sure his footing wasn't off so he didn't miss this time. He jabbed with the spear at the boar's side. The spear hit it's mark and depleted the remaining portion of the boar's health. W-we did it! David cheered as he let the tip of his spear dig into the ground.

David smirked as the girl now known as Olivia got her weapon out. It was a basic rapier, nothing fancy. David was glad that they where on the same level, it meant that this girl wouldn't outshine David, or he to her. What are we waiting for? Lets go! David says, getting pumped for the fight ahead. But if you looked closely you would see the hint of fear in his eyes and the shake in his hand. But David started walking forwards towards the nearest Boar, determined to fight it. Lets pick one out and fight it. David says to Olivia.

Once David reached the nearest Boar he stopped in-fount of it, not really sure what to do. The the Boar turned and looked at him. It then charged to attack. David was it by the Boar and his health bar deleted slightly. David then swung back at it, not really using any skills. The boar leaped out of the way, witch surprised David as be thought he would get a clean hit.

As David watched the Boar's be as he argued internally with himself. 'It should be just a simple thing! Kill a few boar's, get some Col and a level or two, the move on. It can't be that hard.' David sighed and noticed someone approaching. After the person started talking, David could tell that she was also nervous about fighting the simple mob before them, and that made David feel slightly better.

"Sure, yeah, i would love a hand. I haven't fought yet, so i could use someone to watch my back. Thanks for the help, whats your name." David says, trying to lighten the mood with the last comment. "David. What's your name, i can't go around calling you whats your name, now can I?" David asks the girl that is offering her help.

David was standing just outside of the starting city. He was going to do this, even if it killed him. But that was the part he was afraid of, the death part. David had been staying inside the city, hiding like the many others that fear death's cold, icy grip. But today was the day, today was the day that David no-longer hid behind others. Today was the day for him to make a difference in this death game.

"I-I can't stop shaking. Why can't i stop shaking?" David asks himself as he looks at the hand that is not holding his weapon. It's shaking ever so lightly. Most people wouldn't notice it, but to him it felt like an endless tremor

With a sigh, David clenched his fist and looked out at the field before him. "I need help to do this, don't I?" David asks himself as he watches the Boar's from a distance.
