Spangie

Spangie reached behind her head as she pulled her hair up into a ponytail, sighing in relief when she didn't feel the bother of her blonde locks in the way anymore. 

She leaned back against the cold metal seat of an outdoor cafe, savoring the crisp air with a smile. It's been a while since she's been on this floor. No scratch that, it's been a very long time. . . a year? A year and a half? She hummed, looking up at the cloudless sky. She missed her old friends. Arabelle. . . Hazado. . . Pinball . . . man, it's been forever since she's seen any of them! She wondered how they were doing. . .

Arabelle was probably off being a fantastic pianist, and Pinball was probably making loads of money at the Arcade. . . she wasn't sure what Hazado was up to. Was he on the front lines now? Was he happy? Was he married?

Gee, those are all questions she hoped would get answered when she sees them again! 

The blonde player raised her hands above her head as she stretched her back.

This might be the last stop on her time away from leveling up. . . wow, how long has it been since she's actually done something productive in here? Wait, no-- eating food is productive!

She tapped her finger against her lip and sighed. Alas, all journeys must come to a close at some point. She guessed this place wasn't too bad of a last stop, plus, there was free. Food. What could be better? Especially since she burned through her cash on that damn tour, but it was totally worth it! 

She looked down at Agni and sighed. "I bet you're excited to finally be back to leveling up, huh?" She muttered, scratching her familiar behind the ears before she looked at the front gates of the house. 

"Uh, hi there!" She said joyfully, waving at both of the guards before she shuffled through the gates. "Bye, bye!"

“No, no you don’t,” she continued to shake her head, “dang it, I wish I had a giant flys watter Wouldn’t that be something?” she imagined a giant pink netted fly swatter. “It would make his quest a lot easier,” she narrowed her eyes at her familiar who she realized was silent this whole time. Aye aye aye, I don’t expect much but this is unbearable.

She held up her dagger, “Tis the baker’s first right!” She giggled, “no one can get past my excellent baking skills. Chop, chop,” she made imaginary knives with her hands and poked each of them, “Boooom, you’re dead!” the blonde grinned, feeling satisfied.

The enthusiastic player’s eyes grew wide, tilting her head she asked, “Weird?” She erupted in fits of laughter, “Dude..” she said after a few seconds pure laughter. “You think you’re weird? Haha! Look at me! You’re perfectly normal, I mean. I smile like the Cheshire Cat all day! Do you think that’s weird?” She looked back and forth from @Hazado to @Arabelle, a large grin on her face. “You young people, tsk tsk.” She shook her head and shrugged, “No, no, no. You are not weird,” she chuckled softly. 

“Shall thee be given life and immortality!” She declared, “Tis there no stamina in this game, but I am the furmost lazy!” She said in an even higher voice. “So thi shall be given a piggy back ride!” She giggled, jumping onto his back, pointing forward, “Onwards my loyal subjects! To victory!”

[ OOC : Phone wouldn’t let me bold the last paragraph. ;-; ]

The blonde made a small shushing noise and narrowed her eyes. "I am secretly a secret agent form the America's.." she looked left and right suspiciously. "I had to learn the ways of the western language, never speak of this!" she reached her hand up and threw something imaginary at the ground. "Smoke bomb!" she hollered, using her hands to cover her face. "If I can't see you.. you can't see me!" she giggled, wiping away stray tears of laughter. "Well then my children, I hope my grandchildren will be very beautiful and as hyper as I am. Oh wait, I think they'll blow up the world at that rate.." she mumbled, scratching her chin. "Suggestions?! Oh boy, I love those," she grinned, "Uh.. look.. for.. a guy..who.. loves cake?" she shrugged, "Thats all I have."

"Yeah," she nodded, "I don't want to get anywhere near.. a bug," she shuddered at the thought. "I hate bugs.. they're always everywhere.. and you never know when they're gonna pop out in front of you!" she made a sour face and shook her head. "They were everywhere where I lived, eugh," the thought of encountering an even larger version of a wasp annoyed her. "So if this.. wasp thing stings you. Would the lump be like 100 times bigger than ones in real life? Can that even happen in here?" she shrugged it off and pointed forward. "To dinner!"

@Hazado @Arabelle

As the day led one, Spangie could only make literally one rare item. Ughhhhhh. Well, I still have plenty of materials left.. I can finish on time, hopefully. She sighed, wiping her forehead. This is a lot tougher than I thought it was going to be.. I shouldn't do big orders like this anymore, she sweat dropped and sighed, plopping herself on the bay window. "I'm bored," she groaned, staring up at the blank ceiling. Ahhhh, all I can think about are cupcakes now! she shouted, her mouth watering, one thing is gonna lead to this and then that and.. ugh!

Spangie gave a thankful sigh as she held up decent item. 3 done, 10 to go! she huffed, placing it in her inventory. After a few more tries, she came out with an uncommon item. It looks great, but I can't give it to him. Ugh! So many uncommon lately! She hissed in her mind silently. Putting away multiple pots and pans, "Cooking is surprisingly hard, I honestly find it easier in real life," she mumbled tiredly, slouching down on a nearby chair. Stupid cooking, she groaned, rubbing her eyes.  "But cooking is relatively easy.. But its hard at the same time."

The blonde cheered, "That coin goes to.. uh," she stopped mid sentence. She blinked blankly. What would it go to? Ma and Pa of course.. who else? she puffed, "Ah whatever, it goes to all of y'all!" She giggled, ruffling the hair of each of them, "Y'all are so adowable!~" she cooed, laughing straight after. "Darn you children, you guys grow up so fast," she sobbed dramatically, wiping away a fake tear off her face. "One day, you'll get yourselves a man, and you'll forget me!" she ( faked ) sobbed even harder. "Name you kids after me!" she broke into hysterical laughter. "Eheh.. I'm the mom of this ya hear me?!" she pointed to herself with a serious frown. Eheh.. soccer mom!

Spangie nodded her head and crossed her arms, "Yeah, it's relatively weak for a high ranking mob I have to admit," she shrugged, grinning, "But thats never gonna happen! I can't land my hits for crap!" she giggled, "But now I got these handy glasses, I have no worry," the blonde player smiled brightly, pulling down her glasses and switching multiple lens on. "Oh wow, when did you guys get so tiny?" her fingers formed into a small 'o' shape as she wobbly stood there. "But this will definitely be useful in battle, I bet it makes me look whacky form the outside right?" she did have to admit, she had looked at the glasses in a mirror before, it enlarged her eyes and made her look like a Jr. Willy Wonka.

@Arabelle @Hazado

She giggled as she watched him sneeze and freak out over a leaf. "Heh, don't let it get to you, it's just a leaf," she grinned playfully and shrugged. A bright smiled edged her face as she watched the scene in front of her, "Jeez, that was funny," she chuckled, her chest heaving with laughter. He's hilarious, why haven't I met him before? She giggled and patted her stomach. "Well, good job at getting that lead off your face, hehe.." she smiled and when back to looking out at the endless sky.

"Kawaii huh? Don't tell me you're some kind of fanboy," she snickered, waving her hand at him. "But yes!" she held up a finger, "I am kawaii!" she winked at him. "Uh huh," she muttered, "I have my eye on you!" she giggled, poking his chest, "But thats kinda cool, you must have experience in relationships then," she chuckled, crossing her arms. "I see we have a go getter here," she snickered devilishly.

"Hm, I haven't had a decent convo in a while either, it's nice," she grinned at him. "It's been nice so far, I really hope life goes smooth here though."

She nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah yeah, go on," she grinned happily. She always loved doing the things, wether it be games like 21 Questions or just simply talking about it, she loved talking about peoples interests. She chuckled and nodded her head, "Yup, video games are fun I guess.. haha," she smiled brightly, still listening intently. Once he was finished she took in a breath and exhaled, "Thats a big mouthful huh?" she grinned, rubbing her hands together. "My turn!" she inhaled sharply. "So I really, really, really, reallllllyyy..." she exhaled and inhaled another cloud of air, "like art. Heck i got into a darn art college, but uh.. I like sweets," her mouth watered from even thinking about them. "Uhh.. I like swimming too! At the beach party, it was way fun. Uh, I like making new friends and stuff like that."

She bit her lip. "Things i don't like..?" she concentrated on  her hands for a moment, " have a fear of tight spaces," she admitted, "I need to jump around and be free y'know?" she looked at him, "You can't do much in a small space," she giggled, "I don't like bullies either," she felt her face heat up, "I-I just find it really stupid that people bully other people right?" she laughed nervously and pushed on.

"I was born in Japan, but I went to England! Surprised I've never seen you around there, I lived there for bout' a year," she chuckled. "Again, you're not lonely, you're perfectly fine.." she grinned, giving him a thumbs up. "But I'm an only child too!"

"Oh, lucky," she pouted, rubbing her eyes. "I would love to dye my hair," she sighed, putting her hands behind her head. She pulled up a strand of hair. "I wanted a color like.. a teal, somewhere around that. But my parents wouldn't let me.." she felt her lip quiver at the sentence. Have they forgotten about me? "Anyway!," she sniffed, putting on a grin. "Yeah, it looks cool. It suits your hair really well," she smiled brightly.

"Yeah he was, but he doesn't really like the whole socializing shtick," she sighed, rubbing her forehead. "I think part of why he's so awkward is he broke up with Froppy, she was at the party too," she gulped, remembering the awkward moments. "S-so yeah, but I think he's funny that way," she giggled. "When I first met him, we were fighting a giant beast and I didn't even know what to do!" she laughed, covering her eyes. "He basically taught me how to fight.. I guess, he's cool. I don't know if I'll ever be as strong as him though. It would be a miracle," she sighed. Listening to him, she nodded. "Sweet, you're the same level as me now!" she grinned, "I haven't been doing much so I haven't leveled up in a while.." she forced a huff.

"Aw, you're not that lonely," she giggled, patting him on the back. She smiled brightly as he gave her the flower, "Awe, thanks!" she sheepishly took the flower and grinned.

@Hazado

Spangie grinned as she saw @Hazado and hugged him tightly before quickly letting go. "Aghh, it's so good to see you again!" she giggled, clapping her hands together. Agni came trotting up to the brunette, sniffing him a few times before walking off. She turned her attention back to him and gave a reassuring smile, "That means he likes you.. I think," she muttered the last part before she put back a grin. "Yeah, it's been a while I guess," she chuckled, rubbing the back of her head. She jumped happily and nodded, "Yeah sure, looks comfy," she laughed and sat happily on the grass under the tree. It's warm today.

As the breeze strolled in, her hair waved in front of her face, a few getting stuck in her mouth. "Ew, ew," she spit out her hair with a disgusted look and groaned, "I should've cut my hair before I came home," she huffed, looking over to her friend. "Oh cool, is your hair dyed?" she sat up straighter, flicking Hazado's forehead. "I always wanted to dye my hair but Ma and Pa never allowed me," she giggled, hugging herself. Wonder what they're doing right now.

"Oh, it's been nice. I met a few people and went on this pirate trip with my friend Pinball! He was at the beach party, I think you remember him," she giggled, remembering the times ( that have yet happened ). "Me and him stole a pirate ship and  sailed the blue oceans on the higher floors!" she rolled back laughing at the memory. "Hehe.. he's such a crackhead," she giggled, sprawling her arms out. "But nothing eventful after that. What about you?"

Spangie jumped as a loud beep echoed around her. "H-huh?" she looked left and right only to realize it was coming from herself. "Oh," she sighed and opened the message, reading it carefully. "Oh yay! I could finally do something!" she grinned and quickly typed a reply back.

She quickly adjusted her glasses and dashed over to the portal. "Ya hear that Agni? We can finally hang out and relax," she said happily, adding a skip to her step. Her familiar snorted and gave her a blank stare. Pouting, she puffed, "Oh c'mon, aren't you the least bit excited?" she groaned, face palming herself. "Anyways, we get to see Hazado again!" she brightened up, only for her familiar to give a tilt of his head. "Hazado, y'know, the guy at the beach party?" her familiar tilted his head even further. "The guy with the brown hair?" she tried again, only to receive a stare back. "Yeah whatever, we're going to see him."

She grinned at @Arabelle, “Yeah, I know you can have paper but I haven’t found something to replace my sketchbook,” she sighed depressingly. I want to find one soon.. “But I’m sure I’ll find something, it can’t be that hard right?” She shrugged and ruffed the violet haired players hair. “And I’m think you think of me as an artist~” she giggled with delight.

She turned to @Reinholt and patted him on the back, “Yeah, it’s good to see you too! Been a while eh?” She smiled brightly and clapped her hands together. “Agh, I liked this quest, it was tough but fun!” 

She pointed toward, “And off we gooooo!” she squealed with delight and dashed to who knows where. Finally, I was dying from boredom!

@Krysta @Fetu Lagi

Spangie sighed as she slumped in another bench, Where did that darn fox run off to now? Eh, he’ll show up eventually. She shrugged just as a motivation appeared in her face. “Yay, a message,” she said in a sarcastically. As her eyes skimmed the message she felt it hard to suppress her growing grin. “Yay! Finally, something to do!” She squealed excitedly and quickly replied, making it as short as possible so she could leave as fast as possible.

She quickly shouted for her familiar who popped up behind a nearby bush and trotted up to her. Dashing off soon after, she quickly arrived to wherever Arabelle and @Hazado were. “I’m..” she said in between breaths. “Here..!” She grinned and looked st the fountain behind them, “Ooo, are you making wishes? Lemme make one!” She fisher out a few Col coins and threw it into the fountain, “Whoop!”

Spangie raised a brow, “Oh really..?” She said, trying to match his excitement. Oh dear lord, this is gonna be a long day. “How do you suggest we do that?” She asked, bringing her voice down to a whisper. But then again, when is there not a long day in Aincrad. The player huffed and quickly scurried after the boy, a small smile on her face. “This.. this is a pretty bad idea, I mean I would kill for some fun but isn’t this pushing it? What would happen to us as players anyways, we’re basically stealing!” Her eyes widened at the thought of being a criminal in a virtual reality game, I know your cursor turns orange but what else happens if you go orange..? She watched with a sigh as @Pinball lifted the wooden plank around. She gave a bright smile and clapped her hands together, “Thank you,” she nodded curtly at him and faced the ship. “Wow, a real ship! I’ve never been one before, is it possible to get sea sick in this game? I heard it makes you really really and I mean really nauseous,” She ranted, carefully walking up the plank.

Spangie sighed once more as she made another handful of uncommon items, yet no rare food. Why.. why can't I make any of the rare food? She groaned, rubbing her really eyes. "Is is so hard to make one single rare item?!" She screeched, grabbing a fistful of her hair in agony. Lord of the cheese waffles, I swear to go  I feel I don't make one soon I'm gonna go crazy! She shook her head and grabbed an armful of items and shove down them on the stove. "Now listen to me you [ beep ] materials, you're going to be a rare item wether you like it or not!"

The poor girl sweat dropped. Volleyball skills, don't fail me now.. "Eheh.. Uhh. Just don't let the ball touch the ground and let it touch their ground?" she pointed over to the other side of the net. Good advice Spangie. She mentally face palmed herself and grabbed the ball form wherever it was. Exhaling and inhaling, she backed up a bit. Okay.. It's coming back, i think I know how to serve. You just throw it up and hit it. Just like Pa taught me, she gulped and gripped the ball tighter. Well.. She glanced from left to right at the several spectators. You can't embarrass yourself that bad.. They might be skilled but theres still hope right? Right.. she sighed and held her gaze on the other side. 1.. 2.. She threw the ball high into the air. 3! As soon as the ball was a bit higher than eye level, she threw her hand forward, letting it arch above the net and onto the other side. "I did it..? Phew, I feel like I'm gonna pass out.." she sighed an relief and got into a ready stance. Yup, just like Pa and I practiced. Just like we practiced..

@Arabelle @Froppy @Embers

Spangie sighed, slumping down onto a chair near the front door. "My gosh, why is it so hard to craft rare items?" she huffed, crossing her hands. "I've been getting so much uncommon items lately, what a waste.." she face palmed herself. "At least I can add some more things to my stock, how long do I have again?" she counted down on her fingers. "He came.. 3 days ago? I don't even know anymore," she grumbled, looking over to her counter -- where countless pots and pans are scattered -- "Aghhh, cooking is so harddd!" the player groaned loudly and slumped farther into her chair. "Gosh darnit."

The confused player sweat dropped and gave a nervous chuckle, "W-well, why don't we just enjoy each others company huh?" But only soon after she finished, everyone was already dispersing, whether it be to sunbathe or to swim. Ah, well there goes that chance. Her eyes twitched in irritation and she let out a deep sigh. "Why is everybody so [ Beep ] complicated," she huffed, crossing her arms and opening her inventory. Scrolling through the items, she clicked on the surface and a small pair of yellow glasses appeared in front of her. Children these days, she sighed, shaking her head and putting the glasses on, Hormones and crap. She muttered a few cruses. This is what i get for being a nice friend. She grumbled and rubbed her hands together. 

Spangie tilted her head and pushed her glasses down a bit when the seemingly 'innocent' child spoke up on a high chair. Smirking at the list of activities, she giggled and glanced over to her familiar, who was at this point digging a small hole for 'unknown' reasons. "Hey Agni, get over her you bimbo," she giggled and knelt down, opening her arms. Her familiar snorted and slowly padded past her with an amused expression, leaving her in a deadpan. "Hey, you don't have to be so rude!" she shouted, balling up her fists and waving them at the sky. Agh, can familiars even get hormones? Agni seems like he's in the mo stage in life. She sighed and stood up, pushing her glasses up. "Well this game is gonna be interesting," she giggled, bounding over to the volleyball net. Ma and Pa gave me classes on volleyball once, I'm pretty sure I can remember how to play..

Spangie sighed heavily as she withdrew from yet another failed attack. "This is a load of B.S. right here," she groaned, arching her back forward and releasing another groan. "Agh, this is so frustrating!" she shouted, throwing her dagger to the ground. She looked over to Arabelle and pouted. "Why can't I fight?" she whimpered and slumped to the ground, eyes glued on to the Nepent Variant. "So bull," she placed her head in her hands and sighed. Stupid Nepent.. stupid dagger. She sighed depressingly and looked up from her hands. "I could go for some cake right now," she muttered, grabbing her dagger and standing up. "What kind of game does this to you?!" her hands pulled down her face and she sighed. "I can't right now," she scratched the back of neck and squinted at the creature and its vine like tendrils, "This is unbelievable," she kicked the dirt with a pout. "I can't lay a single darn hit."

"Hehe.." she put a finger up to her lips and snickered. "That's a secret. You're just lucky this isn't IRL or you'd be in the hospital," she grinned and rubbed the spot where she hit him. "No pain, no gain right?" The blonde player looked behind him to see a small spot of cleared out sand. "Oh really?" she frowned, tugging on his ear harshly. "It's no wonder you're so awkward," she pouted, still tugging. "Get some friends or something. I'm starting to think I'm the only friend you got," she huffed, crossing her arms. She peeked behind his shoulder to see a spot of cleared sand. "Were you sleeping her or something? It looks like you've been here for a while."

The player's face immediately went red as soon as she saw the 'scene' unfold in front of her. "Eheh.. I-I'm sure he has some other reason to be here," she said awkwardly, covering half of her face with a hand. "I see that you know two knows each other though! Thats good!" she gave a thumbs up to @Pinball and grinned, But her grin slowly faded as Pinball spoke to @Froppy in a blank manner. Am I missing something here? she tilted her head and whispered to Pinball. "Ya aight' there buddy?" It was more of a loud mutter, "Whats going on?"
