Ruby

Ruby had given a faint smile with a faint giggle when she had given the compliment about her store and said out to her "Well thank you telly. It's means a bit." she had taken a seat looking forward to Telly which had been taking her seat then had said out on what she wanted to talk about. Ruby had looked down and thought for a moment, she didn't really think about how she was going to begin with... nor did she really plan this all out. It was frustrating to come out to talk about all this, her being kidnapped, what had happened in the mansion, and even other things in the past. She teared up a bit and looked back up to Telrenya instead of thinking about what to say she had just said as it were at the moment "You... could say I have had a tough week I guess... however to me, I guess its been a rough time in... well this game as it began I suppose... and its taking a lot for me to just... disappear I guess.." she had looked down ashamed of herself, she never thought it would get this bad, however... things have just been making her more and more depressed.

@Telrenya

Ruby had reeled in the fish after successfully putting it on her line, and placed the material into her inventory. She had sent her bobber back out towards the lake and did the same routine. She could really nitpick literally about anything in this game, but at it core... she doesn't suppose its a bad idea or game design however there are just some interesting choices other than the obvious. She just had a big behind her head just itching... wanting to know why anyone would do this to so many people... intrigue them with the biggest game in history only to trap them inside and... well kill thousands of lives before the end of the game. She had shook her head and sighed as she had looked back out to the bobber in the lake... in hadn't moved, she had sighed... looks like she wasn't going to find anything right now.

Ruby had looked up to her messages where Telrenya had replied to her saying that she would be on her way, Ruby had let out a sigh, it had seemed that Ruby had to get somewhat dressed so Telrenya doesn't get any bad vibes or anything. Ruby had opened her inventory to all her clothing that she had, but the hardest part was trying to find something that she would like. However Ruby had let out a sigh and put on her choker and the rest of the leather that wrapped around her body and leg. As she had successfully got all the rest of her outfit on she had heard Telrenya at the door, she didn't really care that her hair was a mess but she had walked down to come towards her. Eventually she had made her way towards the door and opened it. Ruby had exclaimed out to her with a sort of dead tone "Hey telly, come on in. The door to my space is in the back. Come on in..." after Telrenya had entered she had closed the door and guided her to her work station where she went to her table in the back of the room where Tel and Ruby could just sit down and talk.

@Telrenya

Ruby didn't get much of a reaction with the kiss she had given her nor did Tel really say anything back to her words that she had exclaimed out which had brought out a grin upon her face, she had sighed, she didn't know what to expect really. Ruby had placed one of her hands, on her hips after hearing Jomei "Hold on there tiger, you expect me and us to go exploring some more even after seeing the things that already happened in this house? Telrenya almost died, and you think its a great idea to try to explore this hell hole? I'll pass." she had said turning her back "I'd rather go back to my bookcase where its safe thank you. I am not gonna get myself trapped in anything that could potentially kill me thank you very much." she then stepped out downstairs where her and Jomei walked up on and down the stairs again back to the main foyer area and proceed to sit back down on the bookcase she had brought down from being stood face up.

After knocking the door out of its hinges, before Ruby could even make sure that Telrenya was even safe Jomei had stepped in and gave her a hug. Ruby had moved her hand to her hip and said "Alright alright wheres my hug? I'm the one that wasted 15 of my energy hitting the door." she had let out a chuckle, eventually Jomei would eventually stop hugging her and Telrenya had walked over to Ruby and gave her a hug and cried into her shoulder. "Aw.." she let out as she had wrapped her arms around Telly and rubbed her back a bit. She had felt that she was entirely wet and it was starting to feel cold and weird to Ruby as she had moved Telrenya in front of her while still holding her "What happened to you Telly? Before you started touching things you were dry as a bone, now you look like you were put through a washing machine. Well... im just glad you are safe at least." she gave Telrenya a kiss on the forehead before she had stepped away to introduce her and Jomei to a man named Spencer, she had gained a little bit of a awkward look and said "So... what has gotten you to walk into a spooky mansion all on your own?"

Ruby had woke up in her home/store, she had felt entirely horrible after her fishing trip, she had looked down she was wearing the same thing that she was wearing during the fishing trip, however she really didn't care if she was being too revealing at this point. All she could really think about were recent events and previous events that had happened to her... she had starting to lose her confidence in herself... her will to be independent... her will to truly feel... herself. Ruby was originally going to invite Telrenya over to check out her new store and her cute new witch outfit... however she didn't have the same muse to do all that. She would rather be fishing at the given moment, Ruby had sighed, she really needed someone to talk to, she had opened up her hud as she sat on the edge of her bed and send out a message to Telrenya:
 

Quote

To: @Telrenya

Hey... by any chance are you free to swing by my place Telly? I have a lot I just need to get off my mind... coordinates are attached, follow the path, monsters wont encounter you there.

After sending the message she had laid back onto her bed and waited for a response or for anything to happen in that matter, she had eyeballed the fishing rod placed on her table, but closed her eyes. She didn't even want to do that at the moment.

Ruby had placed the the fish into her in inventory and did the same process with sending the bobber out into the lake, she had sat back down and placed one of her hands behind her and leaned back and looked up into the sky. She couldn't see any clouds and she could see the next floor from here, at least from what the bottom looks like. And to her it looks like metal, and to her that was very interesting of a choice to do. While its cool to have one world that one sun revolves around, it was weird to have it floor by floor like some sort of building. However shes not a game designer, she was merely a fashionista before coming into this game... once more in the middle of her thoughts and looking up into the sky she had noticed that her fishing pole had started moving again, she had caught yet again another fish!

After successfully reeling in two fishes, she was starting to feel a little more confident with this fishing skill that she had acquired. She had moved her fishing rod back and flew the bobber back out into the lake... and back onto the ground in which Ruby had sat upon. Looking back out on the lake again, she had moved back her other hand back to her cheek. While this was a patient thing to do not only in game but also in real life, but its not really calming her in any shape or form. She had sighed and rolled her eyes, maybe it just takes more time? It was any ones guess to be fair with her, but before she could really get back to thinking about any topic the reel had started to move forward, she had got a another fish! Ruby had reeled it in and saw the prize that she had claimed, she had smiled, it really was paying off a little bit.

Ruby had just kept thinking about that damned event, she just could not keep it out of her own mind. Just the thought of kidnapping people for their own benefits was just... sick, she knew that this sort of thing did happen quite a bit as well in the real world... matter of fact there must be plenty of people going through the same thing, however Ruby just knows even if it was just a virtual experience... she cannot prove that they had kidnapped her and in the real world no one could understand the pain that she is going through. As she had kept thinking her fishing pole had moved, Ruby had looked up and placed her hand that was on her cheek to the pole and started reeling in her prize. And after a bit of time, she had reeled in a pair of materials! What luck!

Ruby had kept thinking about what had exactly happened... she was just minding her own business trying to collect Materials... but, why would anyone want to kidnap someone like Ruby or... anyone in general? Even if it was to gain Darkness Blade which Ruby can only assume is a Unique Skill, why kidnap so many players just trying to find the skill in the first place...? Plus, even with that many players what was the plan to really begin with, was their plan to gain the Darkness Blade onto their side? Or was it a scapegoat to get the skill so they could kill them for their own benefit? Ruby had cringed at the thought, she had looked forward back out to the lake where the bobber hadn't moved still. Ruby had rolled her eyes and placed on hand on her cheek and looked down while the other firmly was gripped onto her fishing pole.

Ruby had looked into the lake that had laid out in front of her as she had just sat there in her own thoughts only thinking about the mess that she has become, it was kind of pathetic even in her own mind... to be depressed like this, to think that shes not much more valuable than a slave... just a girl who is beautiful enough where creepy guys would want to hit on her and try to have their way with her. It's depressing, she had gotten a little more sadder on the thought and as time had kept progressing forward when she's thinking about it. Looking out to her bobber as she was fishing she had noticed that it wasn't moving... not even an inch. She had let out a sigh, it was assumed that nothing appeared to be biting right at this given moment. But she was just going to brush it off like it didn't matter, which it didn't.

Ruby had gotten very upset hearing Jomei's story, she had felt extremely horrible in herself for letting something like this getting to her like that. Ruby didn't waste any time she shook her tears away and gave Jomei a hug. "I'm so sorry..." she cried out for a moment, she let her own thoughts get to the best of her and for a moment she had felt extremely bad about herself for doing this. Eventually she did eventually let go when noticing Telrenya's HP steadily dropping and dropping. Once they had made their way up the stairs it had felt a little moist... Ruby had looked very confused having an upstairs area had water being spilled out... like if the house was trying to flood us all in. However Jomei had tested the door knob and it wouldnt open. As soon as Ruby had gotten an idea Telrenya's voice could be heard from behind the door. Ruby had her hands charged up and she had exclaimed out to her "Might want to back up Telly baby.". Once she had heard the woman move she would then let out her Sword Art: All Might on the door knocking it open using sheer force.

Ruby had listened to Jomei's words, and while she did suspect that it had just been a joke... it wasn't one that she wanted to hear, after his speech she had stood up aggressively from the bookcase she had been sitting on and grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him closer to his face "I've been in a group of player killers without me knowing before, they gave me experience in the game, they gave me items... and they had felt like they were obligated to get something back. At first it was sex, which I wouldn't give any asshole even if my life was on the line. Then it was give up everything I owned or I would die. Do you still think its a great idea to joke about being a player killer, not just in front of me, but in general. Theres players out there so green the thought of removing a single hit point from another is enough to scare the hell out of them." she had basically wanted to cry however she shook off her thoughts and looked at him "You're a handsome man Jomei, and I trust you. But if you ever remove a single hit point from that girl I will have your ass hung by a noose the next morning. Got me?" she had let go of him and said to him as she had noticed Tel's HP dropping point by point "I trust you, Jomei we must hurry. Go." she then followed right behind Jomei in this hell of a place.

Ruby had thought for a while, she's unaware of what to do... she eventually had gotten frustrated and thought maybe its best to just wait till something or someone comes her way. Eventually as time had passed she had seen a door open and out comes Jomei, Ruby had rolled her eyes and thought to herself "Greeeeaaat...". Eventually Jomei had mentioned out how it was good to see her safe and where Tel was. Ruby had gained an angered look and said out to him in disgust "Why? So you can force upon a decision for her to make? To take advantage of her because you feel obligated to because you helped her with items and with stats? You player killers are all the same." she had looked back forward. "If you are reaaaally wanting to know she entered that door and before I could do anything it closed shut, and reopening the door will lead somewhere else now. I have no idea where she is. You twisted thoughts will have to be on hold for now. What a shame." she said shaking her head.

@Jomei

Ruby looked towards Jomei in which Dark Arms had came out from the door and had sucked him down into the basement, Ruby didn't think much on it. To be fair, this is what he deserved, in a sense Ruby didn't think too much on it. However looking over Telrenya had looked like she was messing with something and got herself in a sticky situation as well and got separated from her as well, Ruby had got a little angry and slammed a bookcase to the ground, books flew across the ground as she had exclaimed out "Damn it!" she had then looked around for the next best course of action, of course her main objective is to get Telrenya and have the both of them escape without harm, however god who knows where the girl might be now. Ruby had opened the door that Tel had opened and saw that the location wasn't the same as which she had entered. She had rolled her eyes and slammed the door shut. She then sat down on top of the fallen bookcase and placed her fists on her cheeks contemplating what the hell she should even do.

Ruby's smile had turned dim upon him talking about himself being a player killer, even if this was simply a joke, she doesn't appreciate the comment that he had made. Ruby has seen enough [censored], many of played claim to be friendly, but for a comment to be pushed out like that... leaves a bad taste in her mouth. She had nearly half a mind to walk off right here right now, Ruby had just stood there waiting to hear this master plan he had going on. Ruby had looked at the exchange that was to happen. She had half a mind to slap the trinket out of his hand, however she wasn't. She was going to let his comment slide past, however her trust in the man has gotten very slim. She had followed up being the man and Telrenya but she wouldn't hesitate to interfere or do something to him if things are to go sour. To be honest, she didn't want to enter this building at all, however she was going to be sure that Telrenya is going to be safe, the last thing she wants Telrenya to experience is the same thing that happened to Ruby a while back. Ruby had looked back as they had entered and the doors had slammed shut. "Great." she had thought to herself.

Ruby had made it onto the floor in which she had felt the most comfortable and threw her cloak back into her inventory and let out a sigh of relief. However it wasn't fully done yet, she needed to head back to her shop/home and head to the lake that was nearby to start fishing. After a bit of time eventually she had made her way towards her home, she had stopped by her shop real quick and changed out her current clothes and wore something a little more comfortable. She had worn her typical attire however she wasn't wearing the additional leather and stuff, she just wanted a full relaxing experience especially after events that had happened. She had made her way to the lake and took a seat and with a flick of her fishing pole she had began to fish... and a few moments later she had seen immediate results! What luck!

Ruby had taken a moment to think over what just had happened, she had expected this to be much much harder as information had been spread around that this boss was extremely hard, she had sighed a bit. She was a little disappointed that this wasn't a good fight, however she remembered she had picked up the new fishing skill, so hopefully it was going to be something that could calm her down especially after recent events. Ruby had turned around and started to walk out into the blizzard. She really did not like this weather, and she could only hope she wasn't going to be kidnapped another time this week, it was bad enough she had been traumatized with events that had happened before. Eventually she had made it back to the main settlement and walked towards the teleporter "Took long enough..." she had thought to herself.

Ruby had looked up to the beast once more as it had let out a mighty roar as it prepared to charge against Ruby once more, Ruby had looked around and she had quickly moved out of the way once it decided to charge forward upon Ruby. The beast had dashed forward and hits it head against the wall, and more stalagmites had fallen from the top and piercing its back, it had let out another roar this time in aching pain. Ruby had almost felt bad for the monster... however she came to get the essence and she is going to finish what she had started. Ruby had charged up one more powerful sword art and hit the beast as hard as she could ending its life. The beast had exploded into white crystals that fluttered in the air and eventually had turned into nothing. Ruby had grinned and looked at her rewards. Well... she finished what she had started.

The beast had let out a mighty roar virtually shaking the ground below her and even stalagmites that were above her, and she had to move out of the way as they had came crashing down. Ruby had looked up the furious beast as it then charged toward Ruby and hit her forcing her to fly backwards to a stalagmite that had feel. She had hit her back against the the piece of metal and she had looked up the Beast with a little bit of fear. It had seemed with the most recent events that had happened to her, she had gained back her fears as a little kid for situations like these. However she had shook off those thoughts, it was either do or die at this point, and she wasn't going to be one to die right here right now. She had charged up her hands then got up and dashed towards the beast and hit it with her biggest sword art should unleash and hit the beast hard. Really hard.

Ruby covered herself in a good cloak as she prepared for travel, she didn't like this floor at all... let alone anything that's past 60 degrees. However to fully upgrade her light armor that she had gotten earlier today, she would do it. Plus she is going to need her light armor to be useful in the future when it comes to boss raids, she needs her evasion so she can try to take as minimal damage as she could. She had sighed and moved her mouth to the cloak as she struggled to stay warm, she really really did not like this floor, not for anything or by any means. She rubbed her hands together furiously and had a pretty grumpy look on her face throughout the entire walk to the beast where the essence of steel lies. Eventually she had made her way to the cave in question, the walls and roof were basically crystals including different ores, and in the center of the cave lies a beast looking at Ruby ready to tear her apart...

Ruby disheartened, broken... got herself together, not too long ago she had finally gotten some items to finally put herself back on her feet, and she had gotten rid of Search and Detect because it wasn't really benefiting her a whole lot. Then she had picked up Fishing because she had heard its a very good way of getting materials along with finding materials, but it has been heard that she could find bosses along with finding these materials. She wanted to at least try it out, however first she was on this dreadful snowy floor for one thing and one thing only... she was here to get a Essence of Steel so she could upgrade her Light Armor to give her the full 3 evasion since theres basically no hope for her to gain a familiar, so she had to work with what she has.

Ruby had shrugged, she has more standards that to let ones worth when it comes to currency sway her in love, if she doesn't think they don't look good or if she doesn't like them in general she just wouldn't do it. "I've got higher standards than that you know." she said as if she had taken a little offense to his comment. Ruby had waved her finger in front of Jomei for just a moment "Whoa there tiger, what makes you think that this is even legit in the first place." she had looked up to him and then walked towards him and placed a finger on the center of his chest and looked back up and said "For all you know we could be walking towards a trap to Player Killers for all you know. Its easy bait, claim you are handing out a mansion, tell them to come to this certain location and boom. We came like a mouse in a mouse trap." she moved her finger up and under his chin. Before walking back to Telrenya "I have no issue with going with you Jomei. But, you gotta consider what all could happen."

@Jomei

Ruby had let out a chuckle as Telrenya had gotten surprised and she had froze up till she had gained back her courage, before she could say anything about her slowed heart beat Jomei had began to speak out, Ruby had looked up to Jomei with a intrigued look. Ruby had gained a smile and said out to Jomei "Soooo from what I am hearing. You wanted to invite more girls into your guild? Man, you are quite the ladies man if you ask me." she had let out a chuckle. Then out of the blue Jomei had mentioned that he had won a mansion and how it must be investigated first. Ruby had gave Jomei and mischievous smile and said "I swear if you were a female right about now I'd be a little more attracted for winning a mansion, that's very impressive." however she had then shrugged and said "So you are saying we go inspect this mansion together like its what... a scooby doo mystery?" she had a more concerned look, god who knows what could be in that mansion.
