Jazmyne

"Yeah, I know, it always is~" Jazmyne boasted, continuing to squirm around in her seat until the two other players were forced to the edges of the bench. "Fine day? Not really if you asked me," She scrunched her nose up in disgust whilst gazing up towards the sky. "just the same as yesterday." Her comment had been lace with boredom hinting at her inner desire for a change. After all Floor 1 had been Jazmyne's home since Day 1 and it never ceased to be plain compared to the rest. Maybe that's why she tried to socialize with so many people. For a taste of something new. "What's your name? Something that starts with an S maybe... I didn't really hear. You should speak up a little more. And quit with the small talk I like to keep things..." Flicking her chocolate eyes over to settle on Cygnus, Jazmyne smirked. "interesting. If you catch my drift. Anything in mind? Did I maybe interrupt a date?" She invited herself to spend time with complete strangers. The Jazmyne way.

Jazmyne didn't necessarily have friends in Sword Art Online per se, but meeting people and forcing them into social situations with her wasn't a difficult task whatsoever. It took an approach and a few words usually. This time would be no different, or so she thought, moving towards a pair of male players sitting on a bench nearby with a smug grin plastered onto her face. One of them had held his hand out in which Jazmyne responded to herself by grabbing it before the other had the chance to. "Nice to meet you too." Without warning she shoved herself between the both of them on the bench, wiggling until her thin figure made contact with the wooden surface. "Taking naps out in the open makes you look like a hobo plus it's real easy to shove you off. I did that to someone once actually. Plus there was this one time when I poured water on two people from behind... That was a nice day." She began speaking without a care, moving both arms to rest atop the bench, head back and legs crossed comfortably. "Oh yeah," Jazmyne piped up, as if not remembering her name had been the worst thing that'd happened so far. "my name's Jazmyne."

Lock this please and thank you :)

"You can only attack in safe zones, but even then it'll just end up being shiny effects. A good thing or else most of us low levels would be dead, though unfortunate for when you want to get something done quickly. Besides I'm not in the mood anyways and it's not like I'd straight up murder anyone for something that hardly bothers me." Jazmyne waved her hand in the air nonchalantly, dismissing the proposed idea before winking in Shino's direction. She moved towards the door, once again ignoring varying looks in her direction, pulling it open before motioning for Shino to walk outside first. "Besides, if we're partners then there'll be a lot more chances for times like this. The enthusiasm is a plus though I'll give you that." Not only did Jazmyne feel unprepared to just lash out a weapon a begin murdering but she also only felt motivation to do so, like she said, when a reason is held behind said motives. With exception of her fascination for the feel of killing which would maybe apply once or twice during her time in Aincrad. Shino fueled this wonder, naturally, and Jazmyne felt herself in a trance of enticement with the girl.

Naturally for the first few minutes Jazmyne had trouble sleeping. Closing eyelids, an easy task. But keeping them closed presented an entirely new problem. Every few seconds her eyelids would flutter open, gaze focused on the blackness that surrounded her underneath a dome of protection. What little she had left, anyways. She didn't know what she was staring at nor why such heaviness had trouble remaining shut. There wasn't anything around to see or hear or touch. Not even comfort or warmth no matter how many thick blankets were pressed against her thin, small body. Flipping and turning every which where, Jazmyne eventually forced herself to lay still as if frozen in time. And in a way she was considering the similarities her current position held to the one she would most likely be in, in the real world that is. It hadn't been this way at first of course. Jazmyne had her fun and messed around because, well, it was still a game despite the looming threats. But now Sword Art Online wasn't just a game. She wasn't sure what it was now but the description certainly was far, very far from that of entertaining or fun no matter how many smiles she pulled or how many joyous moments occurred or how many people she met and truly liked because this happened to be different. There'd always be a sadness there that couldn't be touched or removed despite the efforts taken to do so. Even if Jazmyne hadn't tried any relieving methods yet. Maybe this is was those people on the internet felt when they complained about depression and I made fun of them, Jazmyne thought. Maybe.

She didn't know that what kept her up at night were the many thoughts that ran through her head, and couldn't be stopped especially when matched with immense sorrow.

Jazmyne had taken both Rain and Hakai's material in the end of their search without even asking, in fact she thought the three of them would've split their results evenly with one person getting more than the other. Perhaps being a low-level had its perks since it seemed that others either pitied or felt more gracious around said member-group. With a smug grin on her face Jazmyne walked into a Blacksmith's shop closest to her current residence, a shady and over-crowded inn, with a weapon already in mind. She had no need for Heavy Armor anyways and so this specific weapon would be all she needed. Probably for a long time too.

Groaning in displeasure, with a roll of the eyes Jazmyne snatched a form to fill out, hardly wanting to actually write out she wanted. It seemed like a waste of time to do so, after all. Upon finishing the order form Jazmyne shoved herself towards the counter, placing the paper upon the owner's front counter. "The faster the better." She commented before sitting elsewhere in the shop. It wasn't like the brunette had anywhere to go so she had the time to wait for completion.

"Well," Jazmyne suddenly remembered a small detail from her last group outing that seemed to be at least somewhat important enough to mention. "first let's party up." Swiping through the menu, pausing in the middle of an open field, Jazmyne first ensured that Rain had accepted her group invite for taking the quest before moving on. After the boy's comment she rolled her eyes, pointing to a figure that contrasted highly among the bright grass and azure sky. "Right there. You must be blind." Another Elf made its way slowly next to the other as if summoned.

Equipping her beloved whip, purple gem glimmering among harsh sunlight, Jazmyne smirked before attempting to activate one of her Sword Arts. It seemed to surge throughout her body without warning before moving her limbs all on its own. Naturally she took on the smaller Elf though still felt accomplished when the lash of her whip sent it flying into the air, the same place where the ugly creature exploded into crystals. "Okay go ahead." She waved Rain on as if too good to attack just yet. "Squint your eyes to see if you have to."

1 SP & 200 COL each

"Yep." Jazmyne replied twice in a row, more than ready to invite herself into Opal's inn wherever it may be. Location didn't quite matter as long as the room proved to be better than what she currently had. Jaken's displays seemed to be amusing more often than not, causing Jazmyne's eyes to twinkle which served as a smile on her tired face, Funny how the Familiar and his Master seemed to hold many similarities yet acted as if they were mismatched siblings most of the time. Floor Seven wasn't surprisingly considering Opal's high level though Jazmyne hadn't been there quite yet and this would put a jump among her planned exploration of each Floor. Mentally shrugging in response to the choice of location, her concerns elsewhere at the moment, Jazmyne hopped onto the telepad before muttering the name of her destination, holding her arms out childishly before and during the moments of being warped away. 

Nimbus happened to be a pleasant surprise and drastic change for Jazmyne who took a deep breath of relief upon stepping from the telepad. Following Opal and the woman's Familiar, Jazmyne kept in mind that she'd need to explore this particular Floor soon if it meant that the two would be coming back on a regular basis after daily hunting. Isn't that what Opal had in mind? To work until Jazmyne became good enough to present to Master Sensui? Probably, she concluded, a sort of skip in her step as she made way through the door Opal held open. Thankfully enough, since such gestures proved that Opal wasn't going to act like Jazmyne was gum on the bottom of her boot or a useless pet. For now at least. The inn held many similarities to Jazmyne's own room in the real world which sent a shiver down her spine along with a nostalgic grin on her face. Maybe even a few tears gathered but nobody would ever know because Jazmyne blinked them away into nonexistence. Now wasn't the best time to cry or become emotionally dependent in the least.

"Night." Jazmyne simply waved Opal off before entering her own room, definitely more than ready to be alone alas. Not that her new companion was a bother, it just so happened that the brunette's deep thinking had touched a nerve and being with anyone any longer would be frustrating and all the more embarrassing. Especially if she started a scene. The bed welcomed her weary presence graciously, blankets engulfing Jazmyne's bare form completely as she continuously tried her best to fall asleep.

"You were blind?" Jazmyne questioned, turning to comfortably lean back and prop her legs up while Avilon kept her own eyes secured shut, sipping the cocoa. The warmth engulfed her body and Jazmyne sighed in content. "This is really good." She commented, licking her lips before gulping down most of the mug in only a few seconds worth of time. Something within Jazmyne clicked, sending her body perking up as she continued taking in her drink but a bit slower this time around. Obviously Avilon had no idea about her life before. No friends. No company. Nothing, really, other than the company of her parents. For some reason the brunette enjoyed the fact that Avilon knew exactly how she felt. It was nice, an effect that Avilon frequently provided it seemed. "I... I never did either, ya know. You're not a charity case or anythin'. I was always alone I just never told anyone okay? And you better not tell anyone either because that's MY private information and... ugh I don't even know why I told you actually. Just thought that maybe since you know how it feels that you'd want to maybe-maybe be closer in that way. Like I promise I won't leave you and all that junk..." She spoke quickly and trembled slightly, dropping the mug down on the hard floor, the glass disappearing into pixels and eventually nothingness.

"You're not lying right? About being friends?" Jazmyne questioned with a tone of worry lacing her words though she happened to be completely oblivious to how weak she sounded. How childish and pathetic she sounded. How she seemed dependent and needy. Body flustered, but not because of the heat, Jazmyne stood, feeling relieved that Avilon couldn't see her in such an awful state, before watering off the remaining parts of her toned figure. "This is still bothering you?" She laughed nervously, desiring to switch up the topic as well as forget what'd only recently happened despite knowing that her needs probably wouldn't be met after such a scene. "I'll get out. Are there towels around? The game makes drying a lot faster but it still takes a few minutes to finish up." 

"...Yeah, I didn't really think of it like that. I almost forgot the a Profession would give me items that would mean being stronger. It might be a while but I've made up my mind for sure. You're real special Opal." Jazmyne concluded her decision in a slow process of speaking her thoughts aloud. The fact that quitting, well abandoning at least, would be possible along with the fact that the shop could be private certainly aided Jazmyne's approval in the whole Profession system. In fact it had started sounding quite appealing a few minutes ago, she'd just been too stubborn to realize the overall fascination she held for learning the mechanics that involved a job in the world on Aincrad. "Things would be a lot easier than in real life since it's a game then... Yeah." She told herself quietly for reassurance. 

"Hm?" Jazmyne perked up, lifting her head and eyes to meet Opal's own, lips forming a grin out of instinct. "Avi?" She coughed awkwardly, repeating the failed name. "Avilon. I-uh-yeah... Yeah I know her already actually. She's... interesting..." Jazmyne trailed off, thinking of the pink-haired girl who'd shown her a surprisingly good time. Avilon definitely did a good job of creating mixed feelings and stirring them in the brunette's gut that'd already begun to hurt due to fast eating. "That would suck." A random comment in response to Jaken's story to take her mind off of complicated things as well as spoken to change the subject of important among conversation. "I mean he has you so that's awesome at least. Makes me wonder if the guy misses his home. Not that I care really because I don't, all I know is that if I miss my home now he probably has second thoughts from time to time about taking on the job of a Familiar rather than reforming a possible colony to become King all over again." 

Ah, the idea of combat again. A blush crept to Jazmyne's cheeks, though more so one of fear rather than embarrassment or confused emotions as per usual. Rubbing her stomach, grumbling in response, Jazmyne rejected the offer with the shake of the head and wave of a hand. "Tomorrow. I'll be up and ready then." She stood without asking Opal for confirmation thought slightly felt responsible for double-checking with her role model for approval. "Well," Jazmyne rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly before shrugging. "it's pretty nasty and crowded but there's an inn on this Floor that I stay at. If you have another option or two that'd be great. I'm tired of that [censored]-hole to be honest with ya." The brunette complained, popping joints throughout her body before stretching out each of four limbs with sighs of satisfaction.

"Yeah, it actually is. Surprisingly. I like you, Rose, you seem nice." Jazmyne nodded towards the blonde, pausing to allow the others to catch up, splitting up the pair to walk in between them instead of leading the way. The path was paved neatly anyways so it would be rather obvious while judging where to go next. "Try not to change that and I wouldn't mind being your friend." She added, not wanting to seem soft or easy to manipulate. For all Jazmyne knew, levels aside, she was the one in charge here and certainly held the most power. Which happened to be the case more often than not, and the way she'd enjoy keeping every social situation since the beginning of the game. "Four? Wow that's a lot, you must've gotten a blood lust or somethin'." Jazmyne drew out a long whistle, eye widened and thin eyebrows raised. She really was surprised since Hydra seemed the kind and innocent type. "Guess I was wrong about you." The brunette noted, flipping her hair in Hydra's face before snatching the water bottle from his hand. After a quick swig she passed the drink over to Rose with a genuine grin curling her pink lips upwards. 

Split between two paths leading up the mountain Jazmyne became confused, halting to a stop while holding out her arms so the other two would be forced to cease their walking as well. "That's strange..." She muttered underneath her breath, not wanting the others to catch on to the fact that she had no idea where to go next. "Uh... Left. Yeah, left for Breaking The Unbreakable. Which I'm pretty sure I'm right unless-" Jazmyne turned her head, staring in Hydra's direction. "you want to prove that you actually know what you're doing by choosing the path that leads to the mountain summit oh-mighty-one~"

"Nah," Jazmyne shrugged upon regaining focus, ensuring every piece of her dark hair had been put neatly back in place before leaning forward, hopping onto her feet once more. "I'm good. Do YOU need somethin'?" She asked, placing both hands on her hips, smirk imminent among her soft features. The accident had been embarrassing, sure, but the reactions to such behavior and surprises would always be worth a blush, not to mention in presented Jazmyne with immediate attention. Something she had immense love for. Loud chuckles of pleasure emitted from Jazmyne as her shoulders shook and eyes twinkled once she got a good look of the male player who'd been drenched. She even pointed with one hand, the other covering her mouth in an attempt to cover up her high-pitched giggles. "Oh, that's real nice. This guy... hah. Y'know if you had to use the bathroom there's alternatives to going in your pants!" Rolling her brown eyes, Jazmyne eventually gave up the laughter, once again in a crossed-arm position, gaze falling on the two whom she'd interrupted. On purpose, of course. "There isn't much you can do sweetie so i'd chill out a bit. It was just a prank stop acting like being scared by a girl is the worst thing on Earth." Shoving past the male, Jazmyne planted herself in his previous spot on the bench, crossing her legs and leaning back comfortably. As if nothing had happened.

"So what were we talking about? It sounded interesting."

"Nah," Jazmyne shook her head, wondering why Shino was denying the act of crying when it was happening right in front of the girl sitting across the table, verifying the crying happening during its process. "there's definitely some tears there. Plus you're eyes are a little red. And trust me, psychopath or not I'd be fine either way." Believing herself to be completely perfect, Jazmyne would never think that she got something wrong whether it be an answer or accusation. Not to mention she could care less what Shino would do or had done unless the events concerned Jazmyne herself. "Ay, shut your trap you whiny brat. Learn to mind your own business." The brunette whipped her head around, dark hair flying, before spatting rudely in the direction of the pesky child. Once done with the threat Jazmyne turned back around slowly, smiling as if nothing had happened, quite pleased with her interference though rather annoyed that others would intrude on her and Shino's conversation. These matters were private, after all.

"I like that you're a so-called psychopath. It makes you more... interesting. Really." Jazmyne shrugged, halfheartedly complimenting Shino before listening to the girl speak of her life pre-SAO, noticing that the tears had ceased to flow. "Ooooh, heh." Jazmyne shook her head slowly, piecing two-and-two together to eventually come to terms that Shino had most likely murdered the winner and took the prize for herself. "That's one way to win a competition. I would've just cheated to be honest, but to all their own. Pretty neat technique if you ask me." Eyeing their surroundings, seeing the looks that everyone happened to be giving them, Jazmyne slid out of her seat before standing, stretching each one of her long limbs. "I think we should change the scenery up a bit. This place is really giving me some bad vibes."

"But it wouldn't of been as fun, right?" It was extremely simple to have Avilon experience emotions, she deducted, planning on more ways to freak the pink-haired girl out during their sleepover. It would be extremely entertaining and humorous to watch unfold, after all. Jazmyne giggled once more, turning in the tub so her stomach faced the bottom, feet in the air, elbows settling on the rim while propping her head up. Stretching out a long limb the brunette slid open the door to the bathroom, still efficiently covered by bubbles. "Yo, pass me the mug would ya?" Her eyebrows quirked up in curiosity, however, upon noticing that Avilon had her eyes shut tightly. "Stop being weird. I mean, there's nothing to see." She motioned towards her own covered up body, a smirk imminent on her face while doing so. Stretching out an arm again, Jazmyne motioned for Avilon to step forward and hand over the cocoa. "This is really fun dont'chya think? I-uh-you're really cool and all. For doing this I mean." The brunette's very own form of saying "thank you for the drink" because she'd never say such things out loud to anyone. Ever. "What can we do next? I think girls stay up late and talk about boys or whatever during sleepovers... I dunno. It sounds pretty silly to me since all the boys here are kinda ugly or annoying. Well I've only seen sleepovers in movies so don't judge me Avi."

Crossing both arms, settling her head atop, Jazmyne sighed, seemingly a bit tired. "We should be friends." In her sleepy haze Jazmyne hadn't realized what she was actually suggesting.

"Yeah..." Jazmyne muttered, eyes focusing on Avilon's bouncing figure. The thought of jumping on the bed did seem rather compelling especially since her roommate was doing it too. It wouldn't hurt being childish for once, right? Jazmyne wondered, not realizing that she acted equivalent to a five-year old child most of the time. "A lot of sugar in mine too!" She lifted a hand, response a tad late since she'd been lost in thought, yelling a bit to ensure that Avilon had heard her request, eyes still remaining on the place that the pink-haired girl had been jumping. Avilon sure was a lot of fun, and pretty unique too. Not to mention she had weird looks that Jazmyne actually admired instead of disliked greatly for being odd. Lazily standing, Jazmyne sucked in her breath excitedly, chewing on her thick bottom lip in anticipation. It'd be a very, very long time since she'd taken an actual bath. Especially with bubbles involved! Showers weren't the same at all so she felt unsure about the attempt though slowly made way for the extra room.

She felt fortunate for the experience of not only being on Floor 4, the best one yet, a beautiful winter wonderland, but also felt this way for meeting Avilon. The night should be fun, really. Sleepovers were supposed to be that way, right? Probably. Jazmyne assured herself before closing the bathroom's door behind figure, before sliding into the tub and turning it off seeing as it'd been filled up pretty quickly. Now of course Jazmyne didn't hesitate to pour soap into her bath, soap covering any extremities of her body, giggles emitting from her mouth though she tried to stifle them in futile attempts. When Avilon re-entered the inn she would call out, "In here! You better not drink my cocoa or I'll seriously end up PKing you this time, hah~"

Pulling a hand to her mouth Jazmyne faked a long yawn to truly express how she felt while awaiting a question for Aster. It wasn't that hard for her so it shouldn't be for the other, right? The brunette could easily talk about herself, multiple paragraphs if need be even. All it would take is one measly question and Jazmyne could kick-start the conversation. Seriously. She wondered if Aster would actually turn out to be one of those boring types? Like a nerd or know-it-all or just someone who couldn't hold conversation. She wondered if the girl wanted to even know about her at all. Though after a few moments of lame silence Aster eventually spoke up much to Jazmyne's relief. "Well I sing and play video games, but that last one's pretty obvious... Then I read magazines and design outfits since most of those people don't know what they're doing. I was gonna get into modelling and stuff like that cause I used to do pageants but then y'know I kinda got stuck here." Jazmyne spoke fondly of herself, prideful smile resting on her face, though she seemed reluctant to cease speaking of herself and even became dull before asking, "What're your hobbies?"

Having already explored the Fields of Floor 2 due to spending time with Kekoa and his quest to gain the Martial Arts skill, Jazmyne now began wandering around town to gain as much information on the same Floor in order to be able to get around without opening a map every few seconds to check on location. Though she much preferred Floor 4, this would only be a temporary stay, and once done with her travels Jazmyne would go straight back to grinding and moving up, a  permanent (hopefully) inn always waiting for her within the frozen depths of her favorite place in Aincrad. So far.

It was only when a nearby male player reached out and brush against her dark brown hair ever so slightly that Jazmyne became distracted. With an annoyed expression plastered onto her soft features, Jazmyne slowly turned with fists clench, ready to strike if need be. "Back off you creep! I've dealt with dumb players all day, all day... and I'm really tired of having to in the first place! So just get away before I make you, okay?" She sighed, rubbing her temples, before awaiting an expected response. Seeing how people reacted was usually entertaining, after all, and could possible raise her mood.

"Why didn't you catch me?" She grumbled in response before climbing out of the fountain. To her that'd been an extremely scary experience, and in return she eagerly flipped off the group of nearby men who'd decided what they'd seen had been humorous. Nothing about what just happened was worth laughing over! Or so Jazmyne thought, heart pounding against her tightened chest. Only a few seconds earlier she'd been bent over, clutching her chest while gasping for air, thoughts jumbled together incoherently. And only a few seconds after THAT she'd been underneath water, choking and drowning and wondering if that would be her cause of death. A pathetic, awful death caused by her own faulty actions. Not in an ocean or lake, but in a fountain which would basically be equivalent to drowning by falling face-first into a puddle. Sighing, running both hands through her slick hair, frown imminent on the creased features of her usually laid-back facial expression, Jazmyne began walking once more. Though her body was currently in the process of unnaturally drying at a quick speed due to game mechanics, the brunette shivered and even began trembling. She only turned to glare daggers into Kekoa's own eyes before lightly adding a, "Let's go". Clearly Jazmyne was fed up with him already as she ensured the distance between them stayed far. For now, at least. Because honestly she would really love someone to hang onto again.

"That makes sense." Jazmyne nodded, learning a lot more about Shino's previous life while beginning to understand the reason behind her murders. It seemed Shino had desired to kill for quite a bit and would obtain that goal no matter what, the girl's family being a valid sign that she could get what she wanted if the aspiration is strong enough. With enough power in her hands Shino could be strong and dangerous, Jazmyne envied the other's willpower and social skills already, something she had herself but didn't want others to hold as traits themselves. "Why... are you crying?" Jazmyne tilted her head in response to Shino's actions that confused her greatly, thin eyebrows quirked upwards, thick lips turned into a frown. It seemed the actress had failed and given up a weakness which in turn ended with tears. Jazmyne rolled her eyes upon taking a few moments to evaluate the failure, no longer feeling the deep twinges of jealously that once rested within her gut, though faint butterflies remained to keep the envy flowing.

"I didn't choose the game, it chose me. My parents got it for me as a present for being such an amazing child, surely." The brunette bragged, leaving out the part where she flunked every one of her tests in school and had only gotten Sword Art Online as a distraction. She couldn't possibly know the latter, but the former happened to still be embedded in her mind. Jazmyne couldn't stand when she screwed up and would rather keep those spoiled moments to herself. "What about you? If your parents are dead then how'd you get the game?" Jazmyne repeated the question with a twist, wanting to get her mind off of pre-SAO life for the time being. Deep thinking was meant for late nights after all.

Having complete confidence in herself, Jazmyne nodded with determination, finding it hard to even do so much as visualize herself failing such a simple task that would prove her strength. Mentally and physically she was capable of what most weren't, the only thing standing between her and power being number of level and skills. Sword Art Online could even make the weak strong since the system basically did everything so even if Jazmyne did somewhat fail herself the game mechanics would always be there to fall back upon. And so would Opal, probably, but Jazmyne didn't question the trust of the silver-haired woman, for they did not know each other well enough quite yet, and asking might scare the other away. Or so Jazmyne thought. "I'll consider a profession I guess. Work is just soooo boring... and this is a game so I dunno." She shrugged, wrapping thin arms around her body in attempts to cease the pains her belly now held, considering the Cook Profession all the while. Taking up a job as a Cook would mean as much food as she wanted all day every day, that she would never go hungry again or ever have to ask for help, and also there'd be benefits attached to the food created. It wouldn't all be a complete waste of time when put into perspective. Hopefully. "Can you just make things for yourself? And I should probably ask if you can ever quit the job. Just in case I get bored." She added towards the end as a short explanation before somehow being able to continue shoveling food down her throat. By now Jazmyne wasn't even hungry, she simply shuddered at the thought of being hungry again and wanted to eat all she could now. Because who knew when the next time would be? During these moments she wished her parents were here to cook and be a source of comfort.

Scrunching her nose up in disgust, Jazmyne shook her head in protest. "Beads are ugly. I wouldn't be caught wearing them. To me they look childish or cheap and I don't want any of those being shown on my body. Of course there are exceptions but I'm just sayin'." Jazmyne played with the collar of her black top, wishing the ugly cloth were better looking or completely gone and replaced with actual armor. Luckily with Opal's donation she'd have more materials to spend on the more luxurious of items that'd not only look good but enhance her performance out in the Fields. "Oh I can sing but I think most Performers are annoying unless specifically asked to play. Wouldn't take up the job. Ever." Smiling widely, flashing white teeth, Jazmyne stifled laughter upon remembering a vivid memory of herself with Kiru whom also enjoyed making fun of a Performer that ended up falling off her very own pedestal of glory. It was humiliating and the blonde had suffered, so naturally Jazmyne took pleasure in the show. "Jaken isn't exactly what I'd call the cutest Familiar ever but he is in an ugly kind of way. How'd that adventure go? The quest to get a Familiar in the first place, I mean." The brunette questioned, placing both hands on her swelling stomach, leaning back in her seat, eyes on a sleeping Jaken before drifting back over to Opal's own. "You definitely don't look the type to have an animal following them around all the time."

So Jazmyne had been somewhat correct on her assumptions that this girl was insane, but none of that really mattered to her, not only because having a killer as an ally would be beneficial, or because in Aincrad she wasn't as powerful due to levels and safe-zones, but because this single person sitting before her had some of the most interesting quirks she'd encountered yet. This girl's life, Jazmyne thought, is probably fascinating and she's probably intelligent too. Seemingly starstruck, much like a deer in the headlights with her large, brown doe-like eyes, Jazmyne closed her mouth that'd been formed in the shape of an "O" before speaking once more, a hint of giddiness lacing her mature tone of voice. "Wow. I've never met a murderer before. Were you scared at first? Why'd you do it?" One might think Jazmyne had an eye for killing herself, and perhaps she did, but would never even begin to think of betraying a family member. It surprised her that Shino would do such things. Naturally she had plenty of questions to throw at Shino, and they both had all the time in the world to go back and forth, but right now Jazmyne decided it'd be best not to overwhelm her new companion. Well, she wouldn't until they got close at least.

Flipping her hair, a prideful grin resting on her face, posture straight and perky, the brunette immediately began speaking in response to Shino's request. "I thought you'd never ask." Of course Jazmyne's favorite topic was, well... Jazmyne. Her eyes even began glowing upon admiration of herself. "I was named after a bright star, y'know like in space, because I'm the best there'll ever be. People notice me. I was pretty popular but then my friends became brats and left me but I was too good for them anyways... My favorite color is purple and I know everything there is about fashion. I've won a load of pageants before and I'm a pretty good singer if I do say so myself. My birthday is July 22nd, actually, and I'm 17 years old. Almost an adult. Isn't that exciting? I'm going to be big. Whatever I go into, I'll be the best and most beautiful." Talking a mile a minute, Jazmyne gave no time for Shino to talk until she finished her self-speech with a sigh, winking in the other girl's direction. "Your turn..." She said reluctantly before piping up once more. "Unless you wanna know more about me!"

Taken back quite a bit, believing she'd be the one to win the argument, Jazmyne returned Crimsa's gaze as if rebelling though felt defeated from within. It was strange how easily a powerful woman could take her down, and how much shame she derived from being the child and submissive for once. Though naturally she didn't mind being taken care of despite all of the other mixed emotions dwelling within her body, because in the real world Jazmyne's parents would cater to her every demand without a second thought. Perhaps Crimsa would take care of her, Jazmyne thought, in a similar fashion to a mother, though a bit more rough around the edges and far more in control as well. Rolling her tongue around the edges of her mouth, Jazmyne eventually slowly nodded her head, crossing one leg over the other as she sat back in her seat.

"Orange soda." She requested sharply, eyeing Crimsa, caught in the woman's locked gaze. Once the waiter left Jazmyne would speak again, though only after Crimsa finished informing her on the topic of being a Mistress and servant benefits overall. "Let's make a temporary contract, then." She stated at last, grin still present, the brunette glad that she had made up her mind and that she could move on, as well as content with being taken care of. No more starving. A comfortable place to stay other than a crappy Floor 1 inn. To Jazmyne that sounded quite similar to utter paradise. How lovely. Naturally she didn't care for or listen to Crimsa's rules and most likely wouldn't follow them unless they were properly enforced, but that would be argument and discussion for another time. "So you have a husband?" She questioned, aiming to change the subject while getting to know her new Mistress better.

It was unfortunate that not a soul in Aincrad happened to hold the same characteristics that Jazmyne's parents have. The teen had been food deprived for a day or so, maybe longer but it wasn't like Jazmyne kept count or anything. She could go get food but wanted to save for vanity items and the like. She could ask a friend but opening a menu seemed rather difficult right now. ...Okay... Jazmyne had plenty of options but lethargy caught up to her just as it always had in the real world. Now the brunette resorted to her own methods of near-professional acting in order to obtain what she desired from other players. Which, naturally, would always be the harder choice seeing as nobody would take care of Jazmyne in the motherly way she desired, nor would anyone fork over their precious, hard-earned, delicious food items to a brat.

In fact, upon realization, Jazmyne had given up, now walking towards her inn with absolutely nothing to do. She refused to eat cardboard-tasting bread, though now held a provided water battle in her hand, squeezing the plastic in her hands to create an annoying noise that she actually happened to enjoy hearing. But would other people? All day she'd been approaching couples and other unsuspecting players, splashing water and making crushing noises with the full bottle simply for the pleasure she derived from others' pain.

And her actions wouldn't be any different with the pair currently in front of her crouching figure, petite and cloaked. With a sudden jump forward Jazmyne screeched "Boo!" and dumped the remaining water onto a blonde male's lap, her body leaning over the back of the bench, loud giggles escaping her thick lips, eyes ablaze in amusement. Though Jazmyne hadn't anticipated falling forward, which happened in a fashion far from graceful, unfortunately. Accidentally kicking the female nearby, grabbing for air in futile attempts, Jazmyne couldn't stop herself from being put into an uncomfortable position and situation. Body awkwardly bent, feet in the air, Jazmyne groaned as her water bottle hit the ground and materialized into crystals before disappearing. "Nice..." She complained with a sigh, not wanting to move, awaiting the others' responsive actions.
