  1. Ryo smiled back. "I'm from Tokyo." He answered. "Got a pretty cramped apartment, but it made do. Maybe I'll get some serious cash from the eventual lawsuit." He said letting out a laugh. When he stopped laughing, he turned his attention to Tel to listen to her. Ryo nodded along, as he noted about her brother.  "So like, no video game experience before all this? Talk about jumping into the deep end." He said giving another chuckle as he finished his drink. The room was now definitely warmer, and he felt a little dizzy. Not like, the room was spinning but like if his entire body fell asleep and was fuzzy.

    Ryo ignored the feeling entirely as he set the magic glass down to refill itself. "Jewlry making ish so cool though. Y'know, I schtill have that magnifying glassh you made me." He said, not catching that his speech was beginning to slur. He looked over at Tel. "Scho if you didn't play video gamesh, what did you do for fun?" He asked, taking another sip of his drink.

  2. The fifth floor, again. Why? It was hot, and arid, terrible on his hair and skin. And the sand, gods the sands. It was course, and rough, and irritating. Ryo turned his boot sideways, pouring a healthy amount of sand from it back onto the floor. And it got everywhere. Why did his girlfriend choose this floor? It had to be because it kept people away from bothering her, but she was over that now. Right? He let out a sigh, as he slipped his boot back on. Maybe he should invite her to his home, maybe offer to help relocate her shop so he didn't have to visit this hell hole of a floor. At least it was better than the bitter winds of the prior floor. He thought about if he'd go back to that floor, see if the old place is packed up and gone. He hadn't seen it since Lowenthal and Jomei raided the building in search of their friends. He looked up into the sky, shielding his eyes from the sun. Just a bit after noon, meaning it was getting close to morning in Taft. He rubbed the back of his neck and hopped off the wagon that he was borrowing. Giving thanks to the NPC Ryo stepped into the crowd.

    He opened his menu and looked at his quest sheet. The sooner he got done with the quests on this floor, the less often he would have to visit it. All he had to do was find Ali. But the quest log didn't help, and didn't mention anything about where this Ali might be. Why were none of the quests helpful? Did they forget to add details about where to start a quest, or did they not do it on purpose to add 'immersion'. Either way, it was bad and the designers should feel bad. But then again, maybe the people who coded a way for him to be trapped in this world didn't really have morals and so want to watch people suffer. Sick bastards. Ryo adjusted his hair, the heat making it almost unbearably warm. First order of business was, getting out of this sudden crowd. Mid day at the market was always a rush as peddlers and merchants alike all tried to sell him their wares. He had no interest in them, nor the col. He shoved his way past a particular annoying NPC trying to barter a rug to him when he felt something slap into his chest. Ryo took a step back, almost falling over the merchant he just got past. "Shit, I'm sorry are you okay?" He asked the person he ran into. The small green gem over their head indicated that they were a player, to which Ryo felt even more sorry about.

    "Sorry, can't see more than a few feet with all these people." He said, offering to help the person to their feet if they had fallen. He didn't recognize the person he ran into, but the light brown pinkish hair reminded him of someone. A closer inspection did indeed reveal, it was not her. "Sorry again. I'm Ryo." He said introducing himself. "You want I can buy you a drink to make up for it? It'll beat this heat for sure."

  3. Ryo sighed as he thought about the question. "So a lot of people are gonna say the hardest thing to make is gonna be something stupid. Like the pufferish, or a souffle, or wellington. But the hardest thing to make is eggs." He said, matter of factly. "Everyone likes a good breakfast food. But everyone eats them differently, with different amounts of seasoning and sauces, and what not. Some like scrambled, some swear by over easy, but no one can agree on what's what. It's like a steak." Ryo said, trying to get his point across. "And for favorite thing to make, I am a big fan of making ramen. It's what I was doing for work before all of this." He said motioning to the area. "I was a cook in a restaurant, before diving in. It was a ramen shop a few blocks down from my building. And making the eggs was easy there, because it was always the same." He said. "And my favorite thing? It has to be sushi." He said before holding up his hands. "Now don't go saying that, that's basic. It's not. It takes class to make some really good sushi." He said, before letting out a small chuckle and taking another full drink from his ever filling glass.

    He rubbed at his eyes, and moved some of his hair out his face. Was it, suddenly warmer in the bar? He ignored the feeling. "So what about you? What got you so hyped up for this game?" He asked. He never really got to know either her or Jomei for that matter before he and Tei decided to take a much needed break. "And what kind of character did you make before we got reversed catfished day one?" He asked.

  4. Ryo matched the strength of the handshake. "Jae. Nice." Ryo said, repeating the as she had repeated his. Making sure he had pronounced it correctly. After not being corrected, Ryo assumed he was correct. Ryo nodded, as he thought back on the quest. "Well, Zamek moves really slowly. So we'll have plenty of time for conversation." He said. "Then there's the sandstorm that hits, then a few bandits attack, and that's basically the quest." He said going over the quest synopsis. He didn't go into much detail mostly because he couldn't remember, that and he didn't want to spoil everything that happened. Ryo smiled as he noticed her gaze drift to her weapon. "Tagging along is the least I could do. After all, this is on the way to my girlfriend after all." He said taking a few steps past the woman.

    Taking the first steps outside of the settlement was always the easy part. This quest made it so the random mobs moved away and left you and Zamek alone. Ryo turned his head to her as she teased him about being helpful. "Oh ho ho." He chuckled. "I'll make sure you don't die. But don't expect me to carry you through this desert. I see you have a weapon you can use that." He said, casting his gaze back across the desert. It wasn't common, hell it was practically never, but Ryo wanted to make sure that no player bandits were out hiding in the sands before them. They never jumped him, but he had heard stories. Regardless, he looked over to his new compatriot. "He follows you, you started the quest. Lead the way." He said.

  5. Ryo set his glass down and leaned back a bit, stretching his spine. Ryo nodded. "Yeah. It's made with honey and yeast. I think this one had some wildflowers and berries. Not my usual, but it's alright." He said, stretching what little knowledge he had about brewing. He turned to her and smiled large when she asked if he was a cook. "I am!" He said excited. "I've really only made some mix drinks before. Not so much into full blown brewing. I can make some simple syrups, and know how to properly use the shaker." He said, miming the actions.

    He pointed to the glass. "Didn't you already drink that?" He asked, looking at the filled glass. He looked down at his own, and saw that it was also filled with the light brown mixture. "What the?" He said picking up his glass. 

     

      [̸̧̡͎̗̦̺̲̦̼̯͇̪̣̗̋̔͋̓̍̂͛̃͘̕Ĥ̵̛̳͍̣͍́̇͂͗͛̐͛̏̆͋͝ave a drink, it's on the house]

     

    He drank it again, noting the same mixture of flavors. The same smells, and the same burn. "No idea if this is meant to be the reward." He said. "Kind of a bad reward if it is." He said, before getting the idea to check his menu. He made a face. "It's not completing. There's no other steps." He said, looking at the menu. "Is this shit bugged?" He said, letting out a chuckle. Ryo watched as Tel grabbed a stool and dragged it over to the bar to sit on. Ryo elected to lean still. "What got me into playing the game? I mean, the same answer a lot of people have. A bit of spare money, and a want to play the biggest thing since sliced bread." He said. "I mean, a hundred floors of a MMORPG to go through and fight everything. It's simple, and it's neat. All these different floors for people to roleplay, to be someone they're not." He said, setting his empty glass on the counter. "There was a fireworks festival on one of the floors a while back. I saw her waiting around, and I knew she was with someone already. No one that pretty stands around for no reason, it was obvious she was waiting for someone. But a little thought in the back of my head was like. 'Hey, you should go say hi', so I did." Ryo said, answering he questions.

  6. Slightly out of breath Ryo chuckled. "No no, I get it. I'm glad it's over. Hopefully the reward is worth all of-" He motioned to the dark greens and clouded everything. "Whatever that was." He said, not wanting to return to this floor anytime soon. At least returning to the bar was going to be easy enough. But stepping inside the bar again didn't reveal anything new. Still broken tables, rotten booths, and dust heavy in the air. "Well, place is still abandoned. Wonder what the reward is." He thought aloud.

    However, two glasses sat on the bar. Those were new. "Well, well. What do we have here?" Ryo said inching towards the bar.

    « Have a drink, it's on the house »

    Ryo eyed the message with scrutiny and shrugged his shoulders. Memories of drinking random potions flooded his memory and he hesitated to reach for the drink. Instead he sat on a stool and lean against the bar. It dawned on him that he had never visited a bar before. He had ordered drinks before as a restaurant, but never had he gone to a bar. Were they like this place? Spaces for seating and food, and small? Or where they different? What kind of food would they serve if any at all.

    Telrenya claimed to have received champagne, which caused him to exhale loudly once as a laugh. "Isn't that the fancy wedding drink?" Ryo asked. He watched her drink it, and caught himself staring before looking back at his own drink. There didn't seem to be any immediate adverse side effects from the drink that Tel had. Ryo took his cup and lifted it to his lips. The scent was, earthy and sweat like a meadow of wildflowers. The drink was stout, but was also very sweet and herbal. Ryo smacked his lips, confused about how to feel about his drink. He was more used to citrusy drinks, but this was nice. "Yeah, it's not bad. I think mine's some kind of mead." He said before chuckling. "Too bad we can't get drunk in this game." He said, not noticing the debuff himself.

  7. This floor sucked. First the entire wave of people get trapped on it and jumped, and now this quest happened. Did the developers just, quit? Did they opt to make this quest as not interactive as possible? He groaned as he lifted a heavy crate. "Right, I got this one. You get that one." He said, juggling the crate to get a better grip on it. The heavier, larger crates did require the both of them to move them, but after they moved that one and turned to get the last of it. The ship was gone. Ryo stared at the open sea where it once was. Tel said everything that he was thinking. This development was less creepy, and more annoying as the quest went on. "Yes. Lets." He said, agreeing with wanting to just get out of here.

    Dragging the cart back was heavier, but wasn't terrible. Off in the distance Ryo locked his eyes onto a scarecrow. How silly. A town without people, and the bundle of straw was the most human thing in it. He chuckled as he continued to move the cart. Ryo hard stopped in his place as Tel suddenly stopped. "Tel, what's going-" Ryo stopped his sentence as he heard something moving. He dashed his eyes back to the scarecrow. It was still staring at him. But, it was staring at him earlier. Did it move? He blinked. It had moved closer. Ryo gritted his teeth and his eyes opened wide. "Tel, we've got something moving." He said, not taking his eyes off of the scarecrow. But his voice was suddenly quiet, drowned out by the sudden rush of wind. He could hear Tel underneath the wind, but couldn't make out what she was saying. He was forced to blink again, and the scarecrow grew closer still.

    Tel fell backward and bumped into the cart, throwing Ryo off his cadence. He broke eyesight with the scarecrow and in a panic he grabbed his katana blade. Why would they be attacked now? And looking back up, the scarecrow was gone. He looked around, and managed to see it again, propped behind a door having it's face barely peeking around it. "Tel. Grab the cart, and lets run back to the bar." He said, still locking eyes with the scarecrow. He didn't know what it was that accosted Tel, but if it was anything like they had been dealing with it wasn't pretty.

  8. Ryo looked over and winced from the heavy hit that Theo had received, hell Ryo wasn't even sure if he'd be able to dodge that attack. "Nice shot Theo! Now get up and move! The enemy isn't going to always stand there and let you shoot it." Ryo said, attempting to be firm in his teaching. He looked over at Teion who had mentioned that getting damaged didn't hurt. "That's true. Getting hit doesn't harm you, but it's a double edge sword. In the real world, pain is what could keep you alive. Here though, that basic response is gone and it allows you to do incredibly stupid things." Ryo said, reading to attack his own boar. The small being squared up, not knowing who it was across from it. "Treat every encounter that you may die, that each hit my be your last." Ryo said, as he allowed the boar to rush him. It leapt into the air, but it was too late. Ryo side stepped and slashed down, slicing the small pig into two which crashed onto the ground into a shower of pixels. "Use fear of being hit to keep yourself alive." He said, being pragmatic about it. It was better to instill a sense of evasion then just taking the hits because they didn't hurt. After all, it would only take some mad man to mess with the coding to turn pain on, and if that happened how many people would suffer from it.

    Ryo sheathed his blade as he waited for more boars to spawn in his area. Theo's HP went down a sizable amount, but nothing too terrible. "Theo, can you hold out a few more moments? I can help you now or later." Ryo said, referring to his leadership skill. "It won't make you stronger, or healthier. I'd just be reminding you to dodge when you needed to." Ryo said, explaining how his skill would work.

  9. Ryo shook the sand from his boot as he sat on the edge of the cart. How he detested this floor. He always hated the sand. It was coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it got everywhere. But this was the floor that his girlfriend lived on and if she wanted to live here, well he would have to visit from time to time. The easiest way to travel was to pick up a quest, and walk with the NPC. It cleared the way of random spawns, and made the journey quite easy. Slow, but easy. Ryo placed his boot back on his foot before stepping off the cart and back into the hot desert sun.

    If he wanted to get there before this floors nightfall, he'd have to get stepping. "Well, time to hit the ol' sandy trail." Looking over to the quest start Ryo eyed a particular sight. Someone else going to do the quest. They had to have been new, right? No one was actually doing the quest or partially repeating it like him. Or at the least, it was incredibly unlikely. Either way, it would be a nice change of pace to have company for the walk that didn't just repeat the same NPC lines.

    As Ryo approached Ryo could already feel the aura of how, serious that person was. Almost making him have second thoughts about approaching them. Regardless, he would need to use that quest to get to Teion and helping someone through it seemed like the right thing to do. Ryo approached, holding up a single hand in greeting. "Yo." He said. "If you're doing this quest, I highly recommend having a partner. It'll help make the time go by faster." Ryo said, holding out a hand. "Ryo. Pleasure to meet you." He said, introducing himself.

  10. Not a damn person on board. How's that for things. Ryo nodded as Tel said she'd check below deck. "Good call. I'll check up here and see if I can see anything." He said making his way further onto the deck. Opening a cabin door and stepping inside he could make out details from the dimly lit lantern. It swung slightly, partly from the waves crashing into the ship and from the harsh winds breaking through what holes there were in the walls around him. Regardless he was thankful to be free of the wind for the most part. However he wasn't thankful was the smell. It smelled, old and wet and alive at the same time. Looking underneath the lantern he could see a singular table, decorated with molded cheese and bread. Spilled tankards were empty, their content long since dried and absorbed by the wood staining it an eerie red. Ryo shot to attention as he heard something.

    Following the noise he exited the room and could hear Tel calling out. He had only made out the words 'the shipment' but he was sure that she had found what it was they were looking for. Taking three steps down the stairs Ryo couldn't see far enough in the darkness, and so he activated his Night Vision. Though he had wished he hadn't. He saw something at the bottom of the stairs. What was it? It looked, tendril but with arms and legs. Was that a mouth, or was it eyes? It was, ever changing in his mind growing worse and worse with each different iteration. He took a tense breath, still staring at where he saw the thing disappear from. The water rippled from where it had entered, but he couldn't see a trail of where it could've moved. Was it still there, or was it small enough that it didn't leave a wake? Swallowing his fear he stepped forward and stepped into the liquid.

    His boots splashed as he moved through the dark liquid. With his Night Vision it was easy to see where he was heading, and where Tel was standing. Ryo looked over the crates, noticing the shipping labels and the mark. "Yep, this is it. Let's get this topside and onto that wagon. This place is giving me the creeps." Another dark thought had crossed Ryo's mind of how long did this ship plan on staying docked? Would it leave with them? And if it did, would they suffer the same fate as the crew?

  11. It was clear that someone had spooked her. And it was probably something they didn't want to get involved with. Ryo nodded when she mentioned the place gave her the creeps. "Yeah, the creeps isn't exactly how I would describe it." Ryo thought for a moment thinking of the words. "More like this place makes me feel like a panic attack is coming at any moment, but never does." He said, satisfied with his description. "Knowing the barest minimum of Lovecraftian horror, probably for the best that we're alone for now." He said, not wanting to think of the unthinkable creatures that could assail them at any moment.

    Ryo snapped to attention and looked ahead into the distance. "Yeah, I see that." He said, activating his night vision hoping that it would give him a better view. It highlighted a few details, namely the pale worn and tattered sails. "Yeah. It's a ship alright." Ryo said, deactivating his night vision. "Looks like it's getting closer." He said, taking a few steps back away from the dock. He readied himself for whatever might be on the ship awaiting them. The ship inches closer and closer still looking like it would threaten to run ashore. But sure enough, the ship slowed to a stop next to the dock. But something was off, it was quiet. There was no ringing of bells, or shouting of crew members, or any noise of that matter. The silence was then broken suddenly by the loud noise of wood on wood as a gangplank dropped from the ship onto the dock.

    Ryo took a few tentative step closer to the gangplank before testing it with his weight before fully stepping on it. "I've got a bad feeling about this." He said to himself, before climbing aboard. "Hey Tel, you gotta see this." He called out to her, beckoning her to come aboard as well.

  12. Floor Eleven was a nice floor, in comparison to the others at least. A nice beachfront, decent city, and generally few NPC's that would randomly bump into him. Peaceful, was a word that came into mind. He put on his usual gear, his katana attached to the obi around his waist. "Pennyworth," He said calling out to his digital butler. "I'm heading out into town I'll be home later." He said. Stepping out into the bright sun he felt the warmth against his skin as he raised a hand to shield his eyes from the rays. The sea air tickled his nose as he made his way down the path. His trail led him into the main square, and past that would be the shopping district where his plan was to go today. He needed to pick up a few materials for cooking, as he had severely let himself fall behind. If he was planning on following cooking, and even maybe picking up a secondary profession, he needed to get into gear.

    At the main plaza is where things took a different turn. There was never a shortage of people in the square both players and NPC's alike, but this time the mood felt different. There was a growing crowd, and there seemed to be panic amongst them. Ryo got closer to the group as to over hear them. They were short of breath, speaking in between gasps and spoke in a panic. "Monsters! Huge, front liners, told us to run!" One said, doubled over clutching his knees. "The floor has no safe zone! Not even when you teleport in!" Ryo thought for a moment, before stepping up as asking. "This is the newest floor, right? There still people there?" The one that was doubled over nodded. "Yeah, tons. They were tossing out teleport crystals and the gate was jammed with too many people. I got lucky." Ryo took the information and stared at the portal.

    His hand touched the handle of his katana. The front liners were there, attempting to save people from some sort of monster in an area that had no safe zone. People were still trapped on that floor, and there was bound to be some confusion amongst the panic. Would the front liners need him? They were giving out teleport crystals, and no one had died in a raid in a long time. Surely they didn't need his help. His hand gripped the katana harder, causing it to shift in it's place. He thought back to his time fighting himself under the effects of the waterfall. It wasn't that the front line didn't need him, it was that he didn't feel like he was ready for the front line.

    To hell with his personal feelings, and to hell with his self doubt. The front line be damned to for all he cared. All he knew was that people were in trouble and they needed help. And help was exactly what he'd do. Ryo stepped into the teleportation circle. "Yo man, what are you doing?" One of the survivors chimed in before Ryo could say anything. Ryo ignored the concern, and teleported to floor 29.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Instantly he could feel pressure all around him as he was pushed and shoved from here and there. After a few moments of trying to force his small frame away from an elbow, a gap of air appeared to allow him to breathe as a player presumably teleported away. His senses were overwhelmed from panicked shouts and desperate pleas of trying to teleport away. "Get. Out. Of. The. Way." Ryo said, mainly to himself as he force himself deeper into the crowd. Fortunately it wasn't the largest crowd and he was quickly able to fine the other side and free himself from the mass.

    Finally free, he was able to take stock of the situation. Four indescribable beings of what he could also assume was hate and flesh, and a few people he recognized standing against them. There was going to be no directing the crowd, that would eventually sort itself out. Ryo's hand shook as it gripped his katana blade, there was no turning back now. He took in a deep breath the salty air tickling his nostrils as the heavy air pressed around him like an approaching storm. His hair whipped against the wind as his loose clothes moved in the same way.

    Of the four creatures that were encroaching, Ryo could see one making a break for it. "Oh no you don't!" Ryo said closing the distance. He drew his blade and in a single motion deflected a blow that was about to slam onto another player. The deflection didn't seem to do any damage to Ryo at least not yet, but it took a lot of effort to not double over from the weight of the attack. It was quite possibly the strongest thing he had ever tried to fight. "Stay behind me, I'll keep you safe!" Ryo shouted at the passerby. As they ran off Ryo adjusted his stance. "Alright, ugly. Let's see what you're made of." Ryo said to himself as he prepared to attack. Without wasting movement or time Ryo dashed in with speed even he didn't know he possessed. The being raised an arm and several beings suddenly emerged from the sea. Ryo spun deflecting one off of his body as he cut it down. Good, the minions were like paper. His katana hummed and sang as it cut down another two that leapt at him. The being raised another hand, unknowing what it could do or what it was going to do Ryo acted fast and quickly cut into it. As his blade sank into the creature causing it to flinch, and Ryo could suddenly see his breath. "Sh-shit! C-c-cold!" He said, before breaking off from it to gain distance. He inspected his blade, where it had met with the frog creature was encrusted in ice, his arm and body was covered in a lighter frost. Was he in too deep? He took a glance behind him and saw the crowd of people. They were counting on someone, on him to save them. He didn't need to live, he just needed to stall. "Whatever!" Ryo shouted, shaking his sleeve and knocking the frost off. "Cold never bothered me anyway."

  13. The air between the two was heavy, and not just from the area. It was never easy to talk to someone new, let alone talk to them about relationship issues. Doubly so when your own was going well, and that you had brought that up. "Yeah, something to do besides breathing dust and feel like something's watching me." He said, taking another glance around the area. Seeing nothing, he accepted the quest himself and followed Tel outside.

    The wind had died down a small bit thankfully, no longer threatening to throw Ryo aside or unmake his hair. Small blessings on this floor it would seem as pulling the wagon was more of an annoyance than a challenged. Uneven roads, upturned cobblestones, and general maintenance of both the road and the wagon is what made moving the thing difficult. Thirty minutes later, the pair had made it to the dock. Ryo looked out into the spiraling ocean before them. It wasn't unlike the ocean at home, save how inky black it was. The ocean crashed hard against the shore spraying the area. He could only see so far out into the darkness, even with his night vision. With that he could at least make out some flotsam bobbing in the waves before them. He wasn't normally afraid of the ocean or its inhabitants, but for once he felt uneasy. Staring into the black sea he felt himself lose his balance, start spinning. He reached up and rubbed his eyes trying to collect himself.

    Looking over at Tel, he could see her under the same sort of effect. Watching her stare into the black, Ryo followed her gaze only to see nothing. Back to her, she slid a foot back. Ryo spun around and gripped his katana ready for whatever might be spooking her. But nothing came. "Tel?" Ryo said, attempting to get her attention. "Tel! Are you alright?" He shouted the second time to overcome the wind, and to break whatever trance she was in. "Did you see something?" He asked, wanting to know. Or maybe, he didn't want to know. All that he did know was that this place played with your mind, and he would need to be center himself if he were to attempt to be here longer. Looking around, he didn't notice the ship. "Wasn't there supposed to be a shipment here? Where's the damn boat?" He asked aloud.

  14. Ryo smiled at the mention of Teion. "She's doing pretty well. She's finally starting to grow out of her 'Ugh, I live in the desert leave me alone' phase, so that's something." He said, mimicking Teion as he spoke. "But it's really nice to see her growing out of that shell." He said. "How Tel been? Oh, I know you guys should come down sometime. I'll cook everyone dinner and we can make it a double date." Ryo said, unfamiliar with the relationship that Jomei and Tel had. 

    Dropping the conversation, Ryo listened to Jomei and Theo theorizing about what it could be. Jomei brought up the idea of a graveyard, agreeing with Theo's suggestion the plants being people. He held his chin and tilted his head in thought. He, really didn't know anything about the lore of the floor. "My col is still on vampires." He said smirking. 

    Ryo spoke up. "If they do have a religion, I don't see it. The elves follow their queen and the court. The treants however do very much have a religion." He said looking around. He pointed to a few symbols and signs. "That's a royal symbol not so much a religious one. And the elves clothing doesn't suggest a major religion. For example, in Taft practically everyone dresses for their religion. Necklaces, differing symbols and colors, etc. But they also follow a general theme for the nobility. The elves here just follow the nobility." He said, trying his best to explain it. "The treants are a bit different. They don't wear clothes, or iconography, but they fight with a zealot like passion. Most likely over they worship the great tree." He said looking at the large overhanging leaves and branches above them.

    Ryo looked over into the distance of where Theo mentioned. "It's a good as spot as any. We might end up doing some favours for them before being allowed to visit the graveyard. Perhaps if we open up with saying that we're trying to help it'll go easier?" He said, shrugging. "Besides, I still think it's vampires."

  15. He locked eyes with the woman, and could instantly see that he instantly messed up. "Oh, I uh-" He stammered. "Shit." He said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry." He said quietly, knowing that he had messed up. Way to go idiot, brag about your healthy and stable relationship to a woman who is struggling with her own. What was he supposed to say next? How does he follow up the nuclear bomb of a conversation starter? He sighed as he struggled to find another conversation. He finally managed to muster a sentence out. "Man, can't believe I was able to shove my foot into my mouth this fast. Usually takes me a bit longer, this is a personal best." He said, trying to lighten the mood.

    His attention changed as Tel showed something off to him. "Hm? What's that?" He asked, stepping closer to take a peek. A thick piece of paper stuck underneath a lantern. Picking it up opened a menu with a loud static sound, causing him to jump a few inches into the air. "It's, just a quest." Ryo said, looking at the menu. "Looks like a delivery receipt. I get these sometimes when I order wine for cooking." He said, holding the paper. "But it's hard to make out what is needed, or rather what was ordered. Just that it's still in transit." He said, placing the paper onto the table. Ryo tilted his head in thought. "That would explain the empty wagon outside, perhaps it was meant to pick up the order?" He theorized.

  16. Ryo lessened his stance, and tilted his head. Did, he get the name wrong? Shit. The door locked behind him, then unlocked again. Not really enlisting trust in this event. "Wait, play?" Ryo looked around a second time. The menus, the snacks, the small group of people, the lighting. Shit, this was a dungeons and dragons thing wasn't it? Ryo couldn't believe it, nor hide his embarrassment from his face. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Shit. Sorry about that, things have been stressful recently." He said, trying to explain himself. He gave a formal bow. "Please, excuse my behavior. I am honored to be invited for this game." He said, apologizing.

    Looking over everything was a bit disorienting, but not confusing. It seemed simple enough to follow along with the guide and figure it out. Ryo nodded to the other pair, doing his best to memorize their names. It seemed that he was meeting so many people recently, perhaps that was issue. "Freyd, Yue, a pleasure to meet you." Ryo said. "I'm Ryo, my apologies for my behavior again." He looked at another piece of paper. "So, what are we playing?" He asked looking at other sheets. A druid, and a wizard. Both were main casters, and lacking in proper defense. Ryo rubbed his chin. "How about some, frontline." Ryo said, sketching down his character prospect.

  17. The samurai watched the woman in both amusement and abject horror as Kismet began her song and dance. He let out a small smile as it continued. He had to fight an actual laugh when she was interrupted. Ryo shook his head slowly. "I agree. Posing would bring an entirely new level to your introduction." He said, agreeing with the woman. Ryo gave a slight bow. "By my honor, I will make sure that Lady Kismet make it home alive." Ryo said, offering some reassurance.

    Ryo approached the group. "Right then." He said. "I'm pretty strong, so I'll make sure that if we run into anything too dangerous I'll be sure to kill it before it kills you." He said, patting his katana. "Otherwise, I'll try to stay in the back and let you do your thing." He said, assuring them that he wasn't going to just walk through the quest for them. "With that in mind, where to first?"

  18. Ryo looked up and around, as if investigating the sky itself. Tel was right, no safe zone. A bit dangerous but this was a little past a quarter of the way. Made sense to throw in some challenge. His focus returned to finding shelter.

    The wind thrashed against Ryo, his loose clothes thrown about his body whipping around his contour. His hair despite being tied up was threatening to come undone. And if he valued his vision, he couldn't allow that to happen. Stepping inside the bar, it was very clear that things had taken a turn for the worse. What little light came in through the windows revealed the amount of dust trapped in the air. The floor creaked and moaned under his weight, the planks themselves old and dry rotted with age. What tables there were had given out to their own weight and lay broken next to stools and chairs. Padded benches were completely overtaken by dust, mold, and age. The smell was stagnant, like a basement with a leak somewhere.

    He ran a finger along the bar, leaving a clear marking in the thick grime, mimicking Tel. He wiped the grime from his hand and looked behind the bar itself. Nothing besides some broken crates, glass presumably from bottles and cups, and even more dust. He turned as Tel called out, seeing if anyone or anything was here. After a few moments of silence, Ryo shrugged. "I guess we're alone here." He said responding to the astounding silence.

    Ryo smiled. "Yeah it's nice to see a familiar face." He said, as he attempted to fix his hair. "Been meaning to ask, but what happened with the guild? I know Teion and I took our respective breaks but it was still surprising to it all disband one day." He said, genuinely curious about the situation. He pivoted the conversation quickly, probably best to not bring that up so quickly after just meeting her again. "How's Jomei?" He asked. "Teion and I are still doing good, albeit we're still a bit lazy. Recently ran into one of Tei's friends from High School"

  19. A strange letter had found its way into the samurai's inventory. Less so his digital inventory, and more along his belongings. Someone had planted it. At first he was afraid it was old ghosts come to haunt him, but it didn't seem to be the case. Instead of threats or promises, it instructed him to meet somewhere at a specific time. He had half a thought to toss the letter aside and ignore it entirely, but it intrigued him enough to keep him thinking most of the day. Who was it that planted this letter on him, and what did they want with him? The instructions bade him to the first floor within it's safe zone, so there was no fear of being ambushed. And so he went.

    Following the instructions it led him to a cafe of sorts. Which, he'd seen before? He tilted his head in thought, trying to place when he was here last. Regardless, the building said closed for private party. Must've meant him and whoever it was that summoned him. Some of the lights were still on in the building, and inside Ryo could see shapes moving about. He counted two shapes moving, and one shifting around. He took a deep breath. "This better not be them." He muttered to himself before taking the slight step up and opening the door.

    Inside, he was quite surprised. Two people he didn't recognize and one he did. Well, less recognize because of facial features and more so that he recognized a woman wearing bunny ears. "Oi." He said, greeting the room. Looking around he saw snacks, drinks, and various things spread on a table. He remembered the name of the person with bunny ears. "Kitkat, what is this? Did you slip me this letter?" He asked using an incorrect name while producing the letter. While she answered, Ryo kept close to the door in case he needed to quickly get away from a sudden trap. His eyes wandered to the other two in the room. The golden woman sported horns and a feathered tail. She didn't seem like much a threat, but he could never be too careful. His eyes shot over to the other person. At first glance Ryo thought he may have been older his hair sporting grey and white. But upon closer inspection, it seemed that this was cosmetic as his face was quite young. Despite his casual appearance, he felt more like a threat than anyone else in the room. Ryo spoke up again. "Kitkat, these friends of yours?" He asked, not entering the room further.

  20. The room faded away, turning into bright brilliant white all around him. He was back at the collection of doors again. “So, you finally learned to forgive yourself.” The Shape spoke. Ryo nodded his head. “Yeah. The actions of my past will be with me forever. But it’s not my past actions that continue to shape me. It is now that decides who I am destined to become.”
    The shape looked at Ryo, tilting its head quizzically. “And what is it that you are going to become?”
    Ryo smiled. “Hope.” He responded, before letting out a loud sustained yawn. “But first, I think I need to sleep for a bit.” He said, looking back at the open archway. Stepping through, he felt the cold sting of the mountain air around him. His clothes stuck to his wet skin, and the sun had yet to rise. In fact, it seemed that nearly no time had passed at all. He crawled out of the waterfall, and looked up at the stars above him.

    He took in a deep breath through his nose, and for the first time in a long time felt good. And that he deserved to feel good. He swiped open a menu, and hastily wrote a message.

    Message: Sorry I’m messaging so late, or early but you’ll never believe this. Can we talk, when you get the time?

     

  21. The double pressed forward, relentless, not tiring, not faltering. Ryo parried another strike, his body shaking with exhaustion. His mind raced, searching for a way through this impossible duel. In that moment he realized something, that fake Ryo was too predictable. It always responded with the same force, the same precision. Ryo had been playing by its rules, mirroring its movements, but now, he understood.

    With a sudden, forceful exhale, Ryo abandoned his disciplined rhythm. He feinted left, then quickly spun right, slashing upward at an unexpected angle. The double, caught off guard, was slow to react. His katana found the gap in its defense—slashing through the chest in a single, critical strike.

    Time seemed to freeze as the doppelgänger staggered back, its eyes wide in shock. The samurai’s blade dripped with the proof of his victory, and the double collapsed to the floor. The fight was finally over and done with.

  22. Pressing on, Ryo finally managed to snag a strike in. He still had a few more steps to go, as the fake continued to move and strike out at him. "Come on, just fall already." Ryo said, raising his blade and deflecting yet another strike. He was getting tired, and exhausted. His arms ached as he swung his blade to try and force an opening. Another open area, a weakness exploited, and wound caused. And another, and another, and another. Ryo kept the attack on, and pressed further still. He would win this fight, one way or another.

    As the fight raged on, the Ryo's frustration grew. How could he defeat an opponent that knew his every move, that was him in every way? He calmed his breath, realizing brute force would not win this battle. Instead, he focused on unpredictability, breaking his disciplined rhythm with wild, instinctive strikes. But the double adapted just as quickly. The stalemate held, their blades locked in eternal struggle, a fight Ryo would lose if it continued for too long.

  23. Again, they clashed. Ryo’s blade cut through the air, meeting the other with a metallic screech. As sparks flew the fake Ryo countered with a sharp, precise strike, forcing him back. A feint from Ryo was answered with an identical feint; a powerful overhead slash met an equally forceful block. Their battle became a deadly dance, each strike perfectly matched. Sweat dripped from Ryo's brow as exhaustion crept into his limbs, but the double fought with unrelenting precision, showing no signs of fatigue.

  24. Without a word, they clashed. Ryo’s blade cut through the air, meeting its twin with a metallic screech. The double countered with a sharp, precise strike, forcing him back. Their movements mirrored each other with an almost supernatural synchronicity. A feint from Ryo was answered with an identical feint; a powerful overhead slash met an equally forceful block. Their battle became a deadly dance, each strike perfectly matched. Sweat dripped from Ryo's brow as exhaustion crept into his limbs, but the double fought with unrelenting precision, showing no signs of fatigue. Every weakness Ryo showed—an unsteady grip, a faltering step—was exploited in an instant.

    As the fight raged on, the Ryo's frustration grew. How could he defeat an opponent that knew his every move, that was him in every way? He calmed his breath, realizing brute force would not win this battle. Instead, he focused on unpredictability, breaking his disciplined rhythm with wild, instinctive strikes. But the double adapted just as quickly. The stalemate held, their blades locked in eternal struggle, a fight neither could yet overcome.
