Fae

Fae looked up at Thorsten with a big smile when he said remebered that he said that he would be getting her waffles. Fae could hear her stomach give off a low growl, and it made her all the more anticipate the waffles. The player that walked in had introduced himself as Lee, with Thorsten introducing both him and Fae to Lee. 

Lee had sat down on the seat next to Fae after greeting the two and answered Thorsten's question with a simple fair. Nothing really had happened as far as events went ever since that Halloween party. "Nice to meet you too mister Lee! Fae and daddy haven't had much going on either. We just hung out in the snow yesterday, and we just came here for some breakfast. Fae likes your name mister Lee, it's short and easy to say!" Fae answered, adding a compliment at the end.

@Thorsten @Lee

Fae still didn't understand the writing on Thorsten's journal, but his explanation made enough sense to her. "So it's basically a diary? Fae had one of those in the real world. Fae mostly just wrote down things that were memorable that happened each day. Fae had a lock on her diary too." Fae said as she followed Thorsten out the door of their room.

When walking through town to the shops, Fae was reminded again of how cold this floor was. Her cloak kept most of her heat in, and she was mostly covered. But her arms and her face felt way too chilly. Fae cuddled up against Thorsten as they walked, and stayed that way until they reached the cafe. When Thorsten told her she could pick whatever she wanted, Fae immediately opted for some waffles. "Thanks for paying daddy, what are you having?" Fae asked as she placed her order. Fae noticed another person walk into the cafe, so she patted the seat on the other side of her. "Hey mister! You can sit over here if you want!" Fae called out, waving with one hand.

@Thorsten @Lee

The next day had come, but for some reason Fae hadn't gotten up early. It was simply because of how comfy that bed was to her, and she just wanted to sleep a little more than usual. She felt some shaking on the bed, and she knew that Thorsten was awake now. Fae opened her eyes and rubbed them a little bit, since she was still just a little bit asleep. Things were blurry for a few seconds, and then they cleared up and she was now fully awake.

Fae crawled close to Thorsten on the bed and looked at what he was writing on his notebook. Fae couldn't understand a word that was on it, as it was just a bunch of dots and lines to her. "Daddy, what does that say? Fae can't read any of it." Fae asked, pointing to the notebook. Fae then jumped off the bed and did a little spin. She looked at Thorsten and then down at herself and realized that she was still in her undies. "Ah, Fae almost forgot to change!" Fae said quickly, blushing as she opened her menu and put her normal gear back on.

@Thorsten @Lee

Fae watched Thorsten walk in front of her and giggled a little bit when he went down to her level and patted her head. He told her it was their room now, so Fae nodded her head in response. "Okay, Fae just is thankful you let Fae move in with you." Fae said as she walked into the room behind Thorsten.

Thorsten closed the door behind them and led her over to where the bed was and pulled the covers back for her. "Yep, together as a family we can do anything!" Fae said as she climbed into the bed after yawning. She opened her menu and took off her clothes except for her undies and got underneath the covers, getting into a comfortable position in the bed. Fae yawned again and she looked up at Thorsten. "Daddy, can you sleep in bed with Fae tonight? It's been so long since Fae has had someone to sleep with. This day went by so fast, thanks for making it one of the best. Good night daddy." Fae thanked as she patted the other side of the bed, showing that she made room for Thorsten to lay down in bed with her. Fae's eyes slowly drifted closed and she fell asleep. She had been so tired and now finally could sleep in a bed again.

@Thorsten

Fae nodded in agreement with Thorsten. Fae could already picture it, the two of them playing together someplace, it would be amazing. But Fae knew that the time they would have a house wouldn't be for a long time. It would be nice to dream of it, but there was no way anytime soon that the two would have their own house together. "Yeah! We could get a real nice place. We have a long way to go for that, but we can make it happen!" Fae said optimistically as they arrived at the inn.

Inside the inn, Thorsten greeted the person running the inn and led Fae over to his room shortly after. It was already getting warmer inside, and they weren't even in the room yet. "My favorite food? Fae likes waffles. Waffles are the greatest out there." Fae answered as they stopped in front of the door to Thorsten's room. "No, you can go in first daddy, it's your room!" Fae said as she held open the door for Thorsten.

@Thorsten

Fae wasn't even slightly upset that the room Thorsten had was small. All that mattered was that there was a room. "That's okay daddy. Fae doesn't care if the room is small. Fae is just glad to be with you. Who knows, it might just be more comfortable with less room!" Fae said cheerfully as she grabbed onto Thorsten's gand after he held it out for her.

Fae continued to walk with as they arrived in town, which was just a little bit less cold than the plains. Fae looked around at the various NPCs that were walking about, in between them were a few players walking along with them. Fae looked up at Thorsten and leaned up against him a bit as they walked. "Alrighty then, no more sleeping in the streets for Fae. Fae promises that. Maybe we could save our col together and buy a house someday" Fae suggested.

@Thorsten

Fae continued to watch, and noticed that things were seeming to start to die down. She noticed Pinball sit down beside her and she leaned up against him a little bit. "Hey Pin. Fae doesn't really know what's going on here, thanks for the treat though." Fae said as she took the cookie from Pinball and ate it. She giggled a little bit when she told him that he was up to stuff. The crumbs made it pretty obvious he was just stuffing his face with sweets.

"From what Fae has seen, one of them is mad at the other for killing a friend of theirs. Things kept escalating, and now the pumpkin man is involved in all of this. It's getting kinda scary honestly. Fae hasn't been up to much, just wandering around this party, well, it's not really a party anymore." Fae said as she continued to watch.

When Fae saw another player step in and aim a blade at Jack, that really crossed the line for Fae. That player was gonna get himself killed if he took on Jack. "HEY! Don't fight like this!" Fae shouted as she stood up and ran towards to the two. She stood in between Jack and the other player, spreading her arms out, blocking both of their ways. "Can't any of you see what you are all doing?! This is a party, not a war room! This is one of the only times in the year we can have fun, and you all insist on ruining it by fighting?! Just stop! You all can sort your problems outside of here, just make things miserable for everybody else!" Fae shouted, looking back and forth at the two.

@Morgenstern @Cardinal

Fae tried to wipe away her tears as well, but Thorsten beat her to it and wiped the tears off her face. She looked into his eyes again and got lost in their colors as she listened to his voice. Fae was getting even more and more relaxed just listening to Thorsten tell her that he was going to protect her. "Thank you so much daddy, Fae doesn't ever want to leave your side. Fae vows to be the best daughter you could ever ask for! Fae will do whatever you ask Fae to do." Fae said in response as the tears stopped coming out.

When Thorsten asked where she was living, Fae paused and tried to think of a way to word her situation. "Umm, Fae has been sleeping on the streets mostly. Fae would love to move in with you. If you have a place to live that is, Fae will move in with you." Fae answered, looking up at Thorsten now.

@Thorsten

Fae tried to hold on to Thorsten's shoulders after he did a spin. He seemed more excited than Fae about all of this, and Fae thought she was going to be the most excited. "Yeah! This is gonna be great! Fae would be just as honored to be your daughter! We could be a great family, just the two of us. Fae will just call you "daddy" from now on!" Fae said excitedly before being set back down onto the ground by Thorsten.

Thorsten hugged Fae tightly, and she returned the hug just as tightly, if not hugging him tighter. Fae wasn't crying, but her eyes were just a little bit watery. Fae had taught herself how to avoid crying, just from all the things she had gone through. She finally had someone she could call daddy though, so Fae finally decided to let her tears out. "Fae feels the same way there. Fae's actual daddy went on multiple year long business trips, and whenever he came back, Fae only had a few days to see him. Fae's mommy was always working her hardest and was always too busy for Fae. But now Fae has a daddy she can talk to, this is the best day for Fae too." Fae said, tears still coming out of her eyes. When Thorsten released her from the hug, Fae wrapped her arms around his waist and continued to hold on.

@Thorsten

Fae felt a little bit sorry for Thorsten when he said he knew what it was like to have no friends and grow up alone. Fae felt the same way, but she couldn't help but feel bad. He then offered if they could be a family in this game and Fae got a big smile on her face at the idea.

Before she could answer though, Fae felt herself lifted up by Thorsten and was placed on his shoulders. Fae thought they were gonna tip over, but they didn't and Thorsten kept his balance. "Woah! You're really good at this mister Thorsten!" Fae exclaimed as she leaned forward a little bit. "And Fae would love to be in a family with you! You could be my daddy! Fae never really got to know her daddy, and well, Fae can't even remember his name. But Fae is sure we can enjoy life together!" Far answered joyfully as she held on to Thorsten.

@Thorsten

Fae waited a few seconds after talking before realizing the girl she was talking to hadn't noticed her. Most likely due to her height, Fae wasn't too suprised that the girl hadn't noticed. Fae was walking away from the girl when she heard a bit of yelling a little bit away from where she was standing.

Fae ran over to where the commotion was and watched it all unfold. Krysta was yelling angrily at another player that Fae didn't recognize. Krysta was calling the player a murdering fiend which sounded super harsh. Fae wanted to say something, but she didn't want to get herself wrapped up in all of this, since she didn't know all of the context behind this. Fae noticed that even Jack was getting involved in this, which got Fae a bit nervous. Fae sat down against the wall and watched where this whole thing would go. "This is fine." Fae said to herself as she watched.

Fae continued to skate and did another thread before Thorsten answered her question. She wasn't too suprised to hear that he did not have a caretaker. Fae took a few steps back and continued to skate alongside of Thorsten, looking up at Thorsten attentively when he put his hand on her head.

He told her that if she needed anything, just let him know, and Fae smiled brightly. "Thanks mister Thorsten, but Fae won't need any money from you, or anyone. Fae doesn't like to burden others with things like that. Fae just wants to be friends mister Thorsten." Fae responded, her smile still present.

Fae watched Thorsten skate a circle around before he came back to her side. He asked what the youth of today did for fun, and Fae was kind of stuck on that. "Fae doesn't really know. We've been in here for so long, Fae can't even remember. But hey, Fae never knew too many kids in the first place. Fae just comes out here and plays in the snow for fun." Fae answered.

@Thorsten

Fae was lost in Thorsten's eyes for a moment when talking to him. The way they were different colors just captured Fae for a bit. She hadn't seen eyes like this before, so she couldn't help but stare. After a few seconds, Fae stopped and nodded her head as the stepped onto the ice. "Yeah, Fae comes down here a lot, mostly to play. Sometimes Fae just sits down in the snow and thinks about things that Fae wonders about. Fae is glad we could meet here." Fae said as she walked with Thorsten on the ice as they started to skate.

Fae was a little bit confused by why Thorsten was raising and lowering his voice as they skated, but she figured her had his own reasons. He asked if she had  a caretaker or anything like that in this world. Fae shook her head and then smiled up at him. "Nope! Fae doesn't have a caretaker, Fae is strong enough to handle herself. Do you have a caretaker?" Fae asked back. She did a quick spin and skated a few feet ahead of Thorsten looking back at him with a big smile.

@Thorsten

Fae was on her usual stroll of floor 4, playing around in the snow when she received a message from Stryder. She opened it without hestitation, knowing full well that it could be something important. Fae wanted to pull her own weight in the guild, but it seemed as though she wasn't doing that. The message was telling everyone in the guild to meet him on floor 5 for a quest. Fae messaged him back right away that she was coming, and headed for the floor teleporter.

Fae stepped out of the floor teleporter and immediately started to look for Stryder. She followed the coordinates and found Stryder in just a few minutes. It seemed like Fae was the first one to arrive, so she ran up and hugged Stryder tightly. She then backed away from him a little bit and saluted. "Hi master Stryder! Fae is here, reporting for duty!" Fae declared before lowering her hand. She had a big smile on her face, clearly eager to go on this quest.

Fae was enjoying the conversation she had been having with Krysta and Vigilon, but then she noticed another girl arrive at the party. Fae backed away slowly, and then ran off in the direction of the new arrival. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk with them, she just didn't understand too much of what they were saying.

The girl that had just arrived seemed to be dressed up like some sort of pop star, which Fae adored. It really made Fae regret coming as a chicken. She could have come as so many other things, but she chose a chicken. Fae ran up to the girl and looked up at her. "Hi miss! Welcome to the party! Fae is Fae, nice to meet you! Fae loves your costume! Fae is a chicken, bawk bawk!" Fae complimented excitedly, hopping up and down a little bit and making a few clucking sounds.

@Kairi

Fae was super excited to meet someone new as she always was, and had a big smile on her face. When Krysta commented on how it would be harder to find fur that matched Fae's bright pink hair, Fae lowered the hood on her costume and it covered her hair again. "Yeah, that was another reason Fae didn't go with a kitsune for a costume, it would be way too difficult." Fae said, looking up at Krysta and taking a step back to give her space.

Another player showed up and Fae got worked up again. So many people were here, it was honestly a bit overwhelming for Fae, but she kept herself maintained and introduced herself again. "Hi mister! You've got a nice costume too! Fae is Fae, who are you mister? Fae might know you, but the costume makes it hard to tell." Fae asked walking towards him and looking up.

@Krysta @Vigilon

Fae smiled at the thought of finally sleeping in a bed again. She hadn't had the luxury of going to an inn yet, so this would be a new experience for her. Fae was already imagining how the bed would feel. It had been over a year since Fae had actually slept in one, so her imagination went wild thinking about it.

Once inside one of the inns that Hestia led Fae to, Fae watched as Hestia asked for a room and the request was attended to immediately. The inn keeper came back and told the two that they had room 6. The keeper then pointed down the hall to where room 6 was supposed to be, and Fae looked up at Hestia. "Fae can't wait to sleep in a bed! Thanks for taking me here, this is gonna be so much better than those benches." Fae thanked as she waited for Hestia to take her to the room.

Fae rubbed the back of her head a little bit. Pinball wasn't really to blame there, she had distracted him herself, so she couldn't blame him for not telling her. "It's fine mister Pinball, you don't need to get senstitive." Fae said as Pinball started to back away from the conversation. It was fine, as Fae wanted to talk to other people besides those she already knew.

Fae looked back up at the player who had now introduced herself as Krysta and admired her costume. "Nice to meet you miss Krysta! Fae is Fae!" Fae introduced herself, holding out her hand for Krysta to shake.

When Krysta said she made the costume by herself, Fae became rather impressed. "Wow! Fae can tell you made it, it looks so good. No NPC would sell something like this. Fae bets it was hard to find a fox with your hair color. Fae's hair would be even harder to find." Fae said as she pulled the hood on the costume down briefly, showing her pink hair.

@Krysta

Fae hadn't seen the player behind her sneaking up, and Pinball gave no warning or anything like that, so it startled Fae quite a bit when the player jumped at her and wrapped her arms around her. "Wah! You scared Fae miss! But good one, Fae didn't see that coming!" Fae said after taking a deep breath.

Halloween was always one of Fae's favorite times of the year, and surprises like this were just one of the many parts she liked. "Nice costume by the way miss! Fae wanted to be a kitsune too, but Fae had a feeling someone else would go as a kitsune, so here Fae is as a chicken. What's your name?" Fae asked, looking up at the player who had just surprised her. Fae looked back up at Pinball briefly and crossed her arms. "You could have told me that she was gonna jump at me mister Pinball." Fae said before looking back at her surpriser.

@Pinball @Krysta

Fae had received the message from Jack that there was going to be a Halloween party on the tenth floor, and Fae couldn't be more excited to go. It was her first time going to one of these kinds of festivals, after she had missed out on the summer events. 

Fae just needed to get a costume, and one thought came to her mind right away. Chickens. A chicken would be fun to dress up as, so that was exactly what Fae did. Fae didn't just go with a few feathers and a hat, no. She went with a full body suit, which was a little difficult because of her size.

When Fae arrived, she was greeted by the host with the pumpkin head with, "What a nice costume! It is great to see you here at this event. Here's your item for showing and I hope you enjoy yourself."  he said and then handed a piece of candy. "Thanks mister! The pumpkin head looks good on you!" Fae thanked and then moved on and tried to spot someone she knew. It was hard to do that with all the costumes, but then she spotted Pinball wearing only the starter gear and immediately recognized him. "Hey mister Pinball!" Fae called out as she ran up to him. "Guess what? Fae is a chicken! Bawk bawk!" Fae said before making a clucking sound and then laughing.

@Pinball

+1 Candy-Guard!

Fae giggled a little bit too when Hestia told her that she got a room with Itzal, despite the fact he already had a girlfriend. One thought led to another, and Fae just figured that the two slept in the same room and Hestia slept alone. It sounded nice to have a room like that.

Fae never really slept in an inn. She always just found a nice comfy bench or seat to sleep on. "Fae hasn't slept in an inn yet. But the way you describe it, inns don't seem much better than the benches." Fae said as she let go of Hestia's arm and started to skip alongside her. When Hestia offered that they could get a place at an inn and sleep together, Fae nodded her head. "Okay miss Hestia. Fae would love to sleep at an inn with you. It would be a lot less lonely." Fae answered.

Fae smiled gratefully knowing that she could come along with Hestia. Fae always loved company to travel with, as it made her feel much safer. When Hestia asked if Fae had a place to stay, Fae shook her head. "No, Fae doesn't have a place to stay. Fae usually just sleeps on benches in towns. Do you have a place you go to miss Hestia?" Fae asked, walking closely behind her as they left the hot springs.

They reached the town, and there wasn't too many NPCs out of their homes any more, as it was night time and they had all mostly gone to bed. The town was still beautiful, even with the lack of people around. The glow made it almost as relaxing as the hot springs themselves. Fae was still afraid of the dark in the town, so she clung to Hestia's arm as they walked through, just to be safe.

Fae did a quick spin after getting the player's attention, and she then proceeded to skate over to him and stopped once she was a few feet in front of him. Fae almost fell over when stopping, as the ice kept her going for a few more inches after she tried to stop. She kept her balance though, and then looked up at the player who had introduced himself as Thorsten.

"Greetings to you too mister! Fae is Fae, and it's nice to meet you!" Fae greeted excitedly. Her voice wasn't as loud as Thorsten's but it could still be heard from a distance. "Fae came out here to play, right now Fae is trying to skate on the ice, which is pretty fun so far. What are you out here for mister?" Fae asked. Fae wasn't the best with words either. She had her whole third person thing with her speech, and she tended to get a bit too excited. A lot of people just saw her as a child who could hardly talk, but it's just how Fae was, and she had her own reasons.

Fae climbed out of the water and dried herself off with a towel before putting her cloak back on and turning towards Hestia as she did the same. Fae couldn't agree more with Hestia about it being long enough in the springs. It was getting darker, so the stalactites were glowing even brighter. Fae ran the towel through her hair and dried it off as well.

Hestia asked where Fae planned to go after this, Fae shrugged her shoulders as she set the towel down where she found it. Fae hadn't really planned that out yet, and she just figured she would find a nice bench in the town on this floor. It would take too long for her to find one on a different floor. "Fae doesn't have any plan on where to go. Can Fae follow you for a little bit? Fae is scared to go out in the dark alone." Fae asked as she walked up to Hestia and looked up at her.

Fae laughed a little bit when Hestia told her that she was still a kid. Sometimes, Fae forgot how young she was, and thought of herself as being older and stronger. Fae never really thought of herself as brave for surviving this long, but if that was the case, then Fae would take the compliment.

Fae squeezed Hestia tightly again before letting her out of the hug and sitting back down in her spot. They had been sitting in the water for about an hour now, and the relaxing effect of the warm water was starting to go away, at least for Fae it was. It was still relaxing, but Fae just wasn't enjoying it as much. But the steam still lingered and the glow from the stalactites had gotten even brighter as it was now night time for sure. "Alright, do you want to head out now?" Fae asked.
