Grimm

“To be honest, I didn't expect to be anywhere near this floor in the first place.” Grimm said, running the back of his head. After her introduction, Sebastian thought he could tell what kinda person she was, based on their introduction alone. The way they looked, the way the formated their words, their posture. All could tell what kinda person someone was, and Sebastian, the one who is used to meeting new people, was fairly good at this. He eyed her suspiciously. The Asakku had a staring contest with a shadow that seemed to have a mind of its own. The she said something Sebastian didn't expect. “...so you have no idea where your friend with benefits is?” Grimm, feeling offended by the comment, suppress the news to rant. He instead said: “No.” Despite what he took as an insult, he decided to investigate the girl, something strange about her intrigued her. Though he got quiet after that. “So, what are you doing in the middle of floor twenty-two, I mean, It must be for good reason. Right?” He asked curiously.

@Asakku

Grimm couldn’t believe it, had he always been so reckless? He must have had a good reason to be on this floor. “The, twenty-second floor?” Grimm question, being on this kinda floor at his level was indubitably suicide. The girl gave him a confused look. “Yeah, I, uh... I can’t ... remember how  I got here. I just kinda woke up feeling like I was just hit by a truck. I’m Grimm by the way, Sebastian Grimm, at your service.” Sebastian said, disrobing his hood. Then straining one of his hands out for a handshake. His memory began coming back to him slowly, he remembered he was looking for someone, Athena, he was looking for her, he had gotten word of a strange player on this floor with her description. “Hey, I’m looking for someone, a girl, around five feet tall, blonde hair, wearing silver armor, would you? I’m looking for her.” He asked.

@Asakku

Grimm awoke on his back, not quite sure where he was, his vision was hazy. “What the, what, happened?” He groaned, he felt as if he fell from a twenty foot tree, hitting every possible branch on the way down. His health was still in the green, he was wearing his mask and cloak. He sat up, his vision adjusting to the surroundings. He heard cawing and what, to him, sounded like white noise. “Birds? Television? Am I on animal planet?” He thought to himself. His eyes adjusted, he could see water, or at least a blurry form of it. “How did I get here?” He continued thinking. He couldn’t remember. He saw a figure on the shoreline. He got up, gripped his stomach as if he was stabbed, and stumbled over to it. Sebastian could now tell it was a girl. “Excuse me miss. I’m kinda lost, do you have any idea what floor this is.” He said trying to look healthy and medically stable. It wasn’t pain he felt either, it was irritation and soreness, all over him.

I only chose text, because... I'm not all that great with numbers... 

Grimm stood in the back of the room by the time the announcements began, it was finally karaoke time, and Nova took his advice to make a prize for the winners. His friends used to say he was a good singer, he was tempted to join. He could use that Col… Well materials, but it wouldn’t take long to sell it, right? Just then one of the contestants started singing. “Auf geht's…” He muttered to himself in German. He walked up to the hostess, Novafire. “Pardon me Nova, I know it might be a little late for this, but… Is there still room in the karaoke competition?” Sebastian whispered trying not to distract the singer, his face calm and earnest. “I would like to… sing… If you find it convenient, please place me in.” He continued. He couldn’t believe he was gonna compete, well, as they say, everyone has their price. Grimm’s just so happened to be the bonus materials.
@Novafire

Grimm looked back at the beach to see the other two had awoken from their slumber. He swam back to shore, seeing that the two girls had targeted him with buckets, they both were filled with water. “Oh crap…” He said. Arabelle then shouted two verses one. “Oh yeah! This seems fair and accurate!” He shouted running down the beach past the two player who seemed to still be suntanning (Embers & Froppy). He then tried to loop around them, unfortunately tripping in the sand, but getting to his feet in a matter of seconds. He ran down the dock which had a bucket at the end of it, he grabbed it, got some water from the ocean. Turned around in an aggressive stance, and said: “Bring it on!” Fortunately, Hazado was holding a bucket above the two girls. “Yeah! Get em’ Hazado!” He said enthusiastically as the tables turned to his favor. He then gave him a thumbs up. “Do it!” He repeated frantically, hoping he would get to watch a train wreck up close and personal.

(A few minutes ago)

Fortunately @Arabelle reacted to the large cannonball. He splashed him back, in the face. He reacted by closing his eyes and spit out the water in his mouth, and remained doing so for about a second before something under the water grabbed his legs. “Oh, Scheis-*gurgling sounds*.” His German cursing was interrupted by him being pulled under the water. He refaced, with a sinister look on his face. “Well, *spits* played. Well played.” Of course he instantly went into a way to get her back. “Don’t worry, I’ll remember the name, Arabelle.” He grinned and dramatically and slowly sunk under the water. Which he resurfaced at the shoreline.

(Present Bucket Prank)
He was sitting there wondering what to do with the bucket, there was @Hazado and @Spangie. Better to dump it on someone he knew am I right fell- His train of thought was interrupted by Arabelle. Who suggested to get a bucket for both of them. He smiled evilly. “You little rebel, I like you.” He waited until she got back with her bucket. “Ready? Set, REVENGE!” He shouted dumping the entire bucket over Arabelle’s head. He immediately bolted down the beach, turning at the dock, and jumping back into the water, not remembering where he dropped the bucket. Then, he looked back at the shore to see what she would do.
 

When Spangie said what did I tell you, Grimm immediately stated “Spangie, don’t jinx yourself.” He then realized he would get his clothes wet but since they were already wet, he didn’t care. He continued swimming around for a while, heck, he went under and strain to stay there for a long as possible. He emerged, bored again, as usual. He walked up to the beach and attached a small thread between to beach trees, which he assumed were palm trees. Then he took off his shirt and hung it over it to dry. He looked down. There was no way he was gonna undress that much in a public area like this. HE walked back to the beach to see Spangie unconscious. An evil grin formed on his face. “Now is my time…” He said sounding almost diabolical. He walked over to a decently made sand castle, grabbed the bucket. Turned around, heading back to Spangie. Looking to his right he saw two girls laying on beach towels. “Well, that makes seven.” He said nodding slowly. He arrived at Spangies spot, the bucket now filled with water. He was about to dump it on her we he began having second thoughts. What if she overreacts? It's not that good of a prank. He just stood there for a moment. Thinking. Contemplating the several possible outcomes.

@Spangie
“You missed me? I feel honored…” He said with a obdurate tone in his voice. She then made a funnel and said it was the sound of the ocean. “A ocean, in a castle, in the sky. What is this? Inception?” She then tossed her familiar into the water. It came back out looking miserable. “You just tossed a fox into the water. You know some breeds of foxes avoid water, right?”

@Hazado
“Yeah, she just tossed a virtual ani- Wait, oh, that's a bit odd, I’m not ignoring that.” Grimm said, looking over at Hazado. “Yep, her name is Spangie. I guess you could say we, adem, ‘ran into each other’.” He said playfully looking over at Spangie now, with a grin that meant ‘I mean it literally’. Of course the only other guy there overheard sports. “Let's see, I’ve played basketball, hockey, soccer, track, badminton, tennis, table tennis, underwater hockey, lacrosse,and finally, extreme ironing. Don’t even question the last one, it was intense.” He said, with a slightly confused and concerning look. “Not even I knew what was going on… Let's leave it as it involves a boat, wakeboard, ironing board, a lot of rope, and a very hot and active clothes iron.” He then asked to introduce me to my friends. “Well there is Spangie here, and…” He looks around for familiar faces, he only recognizes two. One of them he’d met at a party, and the other he’d seen at a unlawful assembly, she seemed to be sun-tanning despite the fact it was all a game and would pretty much do nothing. But he highly doubts she had seen him since he was only the eyes and ears. “...I don’t know your name, but I know you from a celebration. What's your name again?” He said, gesturing towards Arabelle.

@Arabelle
Then Arabelle walked over saying she didn’t see him arrive, nor expect him to arrive. “I wasn’t expecting to arrive either, I surprised myself.” His face full of fake straightforward concern. She then told him to vote for MVP. “Wait, this place has a voting system? You learn something new every day.” She then told him to vote for the girl he like, at first, confusing struck his face. Arabelle then gestured to Spangie. Realization hit him at the drop of the hat. He grabbed Arabelle’s shoulder and quickly said, making sure no one else heard. “We are friends, nothing more, nothing less.” He said, letting go of her shoulder. He turned around heading back to the water.

@Spangie @Arabelle
Spangies voice echoed through his mind. Just jump in! It shouted as the formal maniac within him struggled to suppress it, he looked up to see a dock the lead out into the water,  there would be collateral damage if he jumped in. He thought to himself, standing there contemplating, he came to a conclusion. “Oh, what the h***.” He said looking down the dock. He began running down the dock slowing gaining speed. “Kanonenkugel!” He shouted cannonball in german, but that's not important, what is important is the fact he was jumping off the wooden boating dock, spiralling through the air, adjusting to the right position to get the biggest splash, landing in front of the Spangie and Arabelle, he tried to get Hazado to but, he went under the water before he could, point its, victory achieved. He then stayed underwater, and opened his eyes, he could only see a few feet in front of him, so, he quickly swam towards the deeper parts of the “ocean”. He emerged, a little over six meters away from the two girls. Starred at the two with a uncontrollably evil grin, his hair already drying as his head bobs up and down in the waves. “How's that?” He said, trying to do a thumbs up, but forcing his hands back underwater to resume swimming and no, as you would without using hands and legs, sinking. He swam in place for a moment then went back under the water. Emerging in front of the two again. “Slap me and I return fire…” He stated. Then he said. “Wanna hear a fact about the ocean? Did you know there are more airplanes in the ocean, than submarines in the sky?” He said playfully, his voice straining to be humorous.
 

"Nice to see you too Spangie. No need to overreac-" Grimm was suddenly bear hugged, despite the fact it was a virtual world, he truly felt like he was suffocating. "No, I came all the way here from floor one which took around twenty minutes just to say 'Hi'." He said sarcastically. "Of course I'm here to watch." He said with a somewhat weak-smile. "That and the weather is great." He said making a hand gesture towards the sky.  "And yes, remember I may have mentioned I'm rich IRL? I've played almost every sport out there. Did you know there is such thing as "Underwater Hockey"? Weird I know." He said in humorous voice. He then looked down at his outfit. "I don't have swimming shorts. I may or may not have wanted to stop by to see what this was about. I was wearing this at the time, so yeah. Unprepared as usual. Though I could switch to my cloak, which is not exactly, "buoyant". I mean, have tried swimming with armor plates and a blanket on? It really doesn't end well." He said out of disappointment. Another man approached him. He announced his name was Hazado. "Nice to meet you Hazado, I'm Grimm. Sebastian Grimm, at your service." He ended that sentence with a formal bow. He was German after all. Then another girl who didn't announce herself approached. He slowly tried slipping to the back, he really just wanted some beverages for the time being. "One, two, three, four..." He counted. "Six, six people total... I guess there could be a interesting game. Alright... and the fact that a little over seventy-five percent were female makes this all the more... awkward." He said to himself. He approached Spangie again, who was being dragged towards the water by the girl from earlier. "Please tell me that there is something for us to do. You know, while you guys have all the fun. Is there at least some beverages included?" He said, face full of anxiety. This was good so far, he was at least he was keeping his eyes at his level.

@Hazado @Spangie @Froppy

Grimm was walking nearby when he got the following message. 

Quote

Hey, players of Aincrad! Summer is starting soon, so why not kick it off with a beach episode? There will be a girls volleyball game on floor 16, right on the beach! The MVP decided by a poll wins 2,000 Col! Hope to see you there, and bring some beach attire! Boys can come and watch too! Special hopes to see Kairi, Embers, Froppy, and Hestia!

"Beach, Volleyball? This should be interesting. Whoa, two thousand Col? Wow! That's a lot... Well, they better have something for the guys other than a seating arrangement. They better have a beach bar..." He said, already walking toward the beachfront. "Well, its a good day for it I guess, I mean, it's not raining." He approached the rapidly growing group of players. "Ladies, and Gentleman. Who is our host? Also, where is the bathroom, and for the love of god don't point towards the ocean. Wait, @Spangie, hows a going? I'm assuming you're here for the competition."

"Funny fact, I'm technically a prince. It took me a while to render that in my head." He said, hand on his forehead. "Please no sir or majesty, just call me Grimm or Sebastian." He said with a playfully, taking his hand off his forehead.

"Just being you." He repeated. Grimm didn't really think this was enough for him, it might be for her though. "What about you, what makes you the quote on quote "Most happiest person in the world?" Sebastian asked, sipping his coffee. "Wow, this stuff is superb." He said taking another sip. "I don't think this will be the last time you'll see me. There will be other times. I've been told I've got a good sense of direction, and that's telling me we will meet again." He said, eating some of the fudge he ordered. Which he responded with a sigh of joy. "This is almost to good..." Sebastian muttered. "So, what are you planning on doing later? Like, on the higher floors. You know, I've never ventured outside of the city. I think it would be a pleasant experience, minus the monsters trying to kill me. Hey, maybe, you could take me, I have no idea how combat works and I kinda need help with that.” Sebastian said, disappointment in his voice. Specifically because he never learned how to swing a sword. “So, what do you say? Will you teach me the ways of the sword, well, mine's a scythe, but it can’t be that much different.”

 @Spangie

"I meant that I am royalty, in Germany to be specific, not well known thought..." Sebastian said boldly. There food arrived an he looked at the food as if a dog saw snow for the first time. "This looks... Delicious..." She asked what made him the happiest person in the world. "If I had to say..." Sebastian muttered, his right hand on his chin as he thought to himself. "Good friends. There aren't many around these days, and I'm grateful for the ones I have. Without them, I wouldn't be talking to you. I probably would have been dead long ago if it wasn't for people like... well... like you." He said with a reassuring smile. "Now, a question for you. Hmm... so many options..." He said scratching the back of his head. "Ah, I have a purely in-depth question. What do you want to be remembered for?" He asked curiously, watching Spangies body language, you wouldn't believe what body language can tell you.

@Spangie

“Um… I’m wealthy IRL if that's what you mean.” Grimm said. “Now you can say this to friends. ‘I’ve talked to Royalty.” Sebastian laughed a little. “It's fine, real world or not. We can still talk about it." He added. "Yes I have been keeping them up-to-date since day one. If I get out of here alive. Its gonna be one h*** of a book.” He said confidently. “Yay. I’m Shakespear 2.0!” He said playfully. She asked if Axel, Bolt, and Athena were friends IRL. “Well, Athena is my neighbor. I’ve know her since kindergarten. I’ve known Axel and Bolt since middle school. We were ambushed by PKers. Athena ran away, never to be seen again, Axel and Bolt died…” Grimm said, his voice cracking. He took in a deep breath and let it out. “I’ve been looking for Athena ever since. She said she need to tell me something important, she was about to. But then.” He got quiet. “Y-You get the point. I d-don’t need to go on?”

 @Spangie

“The more you know.” He said smiling watching her nearly falling out of her chair in laughter. She called them desert buddies and put up her hand for a high five. He raised his and completed the gesture. When he heard her say she hasn’t tried Tiramisu. His only reaction was “Say no more.” He turned towards the waiter and began waving. The waiter came over and waited for a command, stupid NPC. “Do you serve Tiramisu here.” Grimm asked. The waiter nodded no. “Ah, to bad. Maybe next time.” He said in disappointment. Sebastian waved his hand to dismiss him. “That will be all.”

“Logs, it's like a journal, but in game. It helps me take stuff of my mind, it's kinda my emotional reset button.” He slumped back in his chair. “It helps me keep my sanity.” He said sarcastically. She said she would in fact, like to see one. “Alright, let's see, this one is from…” Grimm said swiping through his menu. “Ah, November 7th, 11:35 PM.” He paused. “Day one.” He shook his head and swiped his menu over to face Spangie. It read:

"The streets are dark, lined with empty shops and horrified players that had reality hit them, that it was no longer a game. It was currently night, around eleven in the afternoon. I was tired, but there wasn't any hotels for the next three or four blocks of the town. I paced myself, walking down the stone brick lined streets of the town of new beginnings, the way the bricks looked and the was most of the buildings were placed reminded me of the roman empire, strong, but would inevitably fall apart. I sat down at a bench that was lit by a lamppost, looking up to see the fire dance within the tinted glass of the post. Adding a almost happy lighting to this world of tragedy and forgiveness. I closed my eyes to think to myself, nothing is ever truly what it seems. There is more secrets in the world then answers, just because it is all virtual doesn't mean it isn't there. Always something to be found, always something new to discover. But the truth isn't for everyone, I think this to myself as I look around at the few people on the street, they almost look shocked or afraid of the new world around them. Knowing they were happy and with their friends hour before the news. I opened my menu and got myself a quick snack, some crackers I got from a player who wanted a dagger I found. It wasn't a rare weapon either, just a dagger. I need to add, Bolt and Axel are gone. Player killers. Athena is missing, I’m searching everywhere for her, she said she had something important to tell me. This is Grimm, signing off. 11:35 PM November 6th, 2023."

“So. That was my thought process hours after being trapped. Please don’t ask to many questions Spangie.” He said with an Ambiguous look on his face.

@Spangie

“True puppy’s are, fun fact you know how people look at puppies in “Aw”? Well apparently elephants look at humans like we look at puppies. It really makes you think, doesn’t it.” He said smiling. “Yeah, I like sweet stuff. To much sugar. I crash like a car.” He said cheerfully. “I’m surprised I don’t have cavities either. Well, not really. I have good dental care.” She began counting the deserts she remembers, he decided to continue the list. “Cookies, Gingersnaps, Tiramisu, which is a type of Italian cake. Delicious. Have you ever tried Tiramisu?” He asked politely. “It's amazing!”

She asked what he was doing with his menu. “Oh, this? It's just a hobby I do. I keep logs day to day, kinda like a journal, sometimes more than once a day. Want to read one?” He asked. “I meant like, what do you do in game? What kinda adventures?” He said curiously.

@Spangie

“Yeah, dogs are cute… Your kinda cute too.” The last part was pretty much inaudible. “Anyway.” He said confidently. “I’ll have the…” Grimm’s eyes rifled through the menus. “...Caramel Espresso and a side of Mint Fudge Chucks.” Sebastian finally said. The waiter nodded and walked back inside. Grimm opened his menu and added more to the log he was doing.

“Day 459: Part 2:

I met up with this girl, Spangie, as she calls herself, well more like “ran into”. Point is I found that cafe and the food actually looks decent. She is a sweet and kind player. Apparently, she owns a shop that sells food. I had no idea, I'll attempt to stop by later this week. THinking about it now, she seems like she will help anyone she meets. Its strange though, there isn’t people like that left in this game, not enough at least.  This Sebastian P. Grimm. Signing off.

April, 20th. 2027. 5:56 PM.”

He looked through his menu at the girl. Then his eyes darted back.

“So…” Sebastian said closing his menu. “...what’s your story Spangie?” 

  @Spangie

“Yes really, as a matter of fact, a world like this could use more people like you.” Sebastian said. He looked down at his attire. “I really need some new clothes that don’t draw attention.” He to himself. “There is a reason I don't want to either. At one point, there WERE three in the beginning, speaking of setbacks, have you heard of a girl, around my height and age, blonde white hair, player name, Athena?” He asked curiously. After getting an answer, she began singing and skipping. He kinda chuckled at that.

“Germany is quite the place, and “Such rich history”.” He said playfully. “Mmm… Belgian Waffles… Sorry, I haven’t had something to eat in over forty-eight hours.” He said rubbing his stomach. “Really is unique.” He watched her reaction to the piano thing. “Hahaha…” Grimm laughed. He performance was “astounding”. “Yeah, you certainly act like shakespeare. You and your drama.” He said playfully.

“Alright, just making sure.” Sebastian said, squinting at her trying to tell if she's lying. She suddenly took off at such speed it took a moment to register. Then he realize. She is holding my shoulder. Sebastian looked like someone learning to walk for the first time, stumbling and nearly tripping. He looked like she was running while gripping the arm of a ragdoll. “Stop! S-Stop! I.. can’t… keep… up!”

He shouted trying to get her attention, but it didn’t work. He went right under some 3 people, tripping all of them while shouting. “Sorry! I’ll pay for that! Nice hat!” They were finally at the cafe. Sebastian did a slow dramatic head turn. “Don’t do that…” He said catching his breath. “The place is great though, I’d give it a five out of five if I wasn’t just put in a life or death situation.” Grimm said sarcastically. She jumped up in down in excitement. “You look like a small dog on their hind legs trying to get a treat of the table.” He said playfully. He pulled a chair out from the table and made a hand gesture for her to sit down. Then he went to his seat across from her.

@Spangie

“Nova, if your gonna call me by my name, call me Grimm, its my last name. But I guess...” He said warily as if he was having second thoughts. “...you can call me Seb.” Sebastian said right before he left the room. Then the crow thing happened, the girl with the purple hair called it Moondust. “Nice, I don’t know many familiar owners.” She looked like she was trying to force a smile, she truly was embarrassed. “Yep thats my name. Full name Sebastian Phoenix Grimm. My last name sounds like that because I'm related to the writers of ‘Brother’s Grimm’. Nice to meet you Arabelle.” He said with a reassuring smile. Then he left the room altogether, reappearing in about ten minutes. After finishing up about familiars he re-entered the room. “You guys have no Idea what's in this place. There is a sauna, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I found some kinda dungeon. Wait, what I miss? Where is the Crow?”

“Everyone almost  is different. I say this because I know someone who acts just like you. Same personality to you, sorta, same blonde hair and eyes. You don’t have a twin do you?” Sebastian asked curiously.  “I guess that's the word for it. Fun. I’d personally love this game if I didn’t lost my... nevermind.” He said as he glaces storefront to storefront. “Where is this cafe? Is it invisible?” Sebastian said, his tone sounding confused. “You’d think finding a big building would be easy. Nein...”

“Thanks.” Grimm said with a smile. “It's not common for being born in Germany. Yeah, its really isn’t something you here everyday, but neither is Grimm.” Sebastian said smiling. It's about this moment Spangie poked Grimm. He understood it was playful because she was grinning like a psychopath. Grimm raised his arm, pointed into the sky right of Spangie. Then said “That's an odd place to put a piano.” Grimm said hopping Spangie would turn around. She did. Grimm poked her back twice in her left arm. “Gotcha.” He said joyfully.

“Yeah, I’m still sorry though. Not even I use the phrase that often.” Grimm looked ahead, looking down the path then looked back at Spangie who was staring into the sky. Grimm followed her eyesight to a flock of birds. He squinted trying to get a better view, than Spangie up-roared with excitement. Yep, she sees the Cafe, doesn’t she? Grimm thought to himself. Looking down, he saw a small building. But it was impossible to miss the Cafe sign. It was bigger than the door. She said she was here before with a friend. “Really? Who would that b-ahhhhhHHHH! Slow down!” Grimm said, it seems Spangie had locked her hand on his shoulder and began running. Sebastian was dodging under, over and around people, objects, and small carts.

@Spangie

“Sorry, I didn’t want you to think I was offended either. I really wasn’t, it's just the way I talk.” Grimm said, trying to not trip, look for the cafe, and have a conversation all at once. “I agree, meeting people is a great way to meet others. Good or Bad. It's a new experience.” Sebastian sighed. Then listened to Spangies joke. Sebastian laughed. "Yeah yeah, I guess it sort of is.” His voice implying he really meant it.

“My player name is Grimm, Grimm is also my last name. First name Sebastian. Middle name Phoenix. Hence the ‘P’.” He grinned, looking at the streets ahead. “No no no, it's fine. I’d like to think everyone copes in a different way in this game. Some quicker than others, some scarier than others. The only time I draw the line is if their way to cope is a… crime.” Sebastian stopped talking for a moment as if in a daze. He shook his head and folded his arms. “L-Lets keep moving…” Grimm was silent a little while longer before letting out a long and slow stressed sigh.

“Sorry, I should be more careful with my words.” He said, unfolding his arms and beginning to talk again. “It's not a ‘death game’ as it is a ‘alternate world’.” He continued. “It's like a different plain of existence in here, strange but true.” Sebastian said, staring into the sky watching the birds soar above them all.

@Spangie

“Spangie? Well, a name is a name. Nice to meet you Spangie.” Grimm said. “Formal? Oh, sorry. It's just kinda the way I talk. I don’t want to go into depth about it either...” Sebastian said, his voice trailing off near the end of the sentence. “Yeah, I kinda was everywhere and nowhere, but I'm new to this sector of the city.” Sebastian said answering her comment the best he could while thinking, ‘God I need some normal wear…’ Spangie ended up restarting the greeting so Grimm decided to do it as well. He took her hand and shook it saying. “I’m Sebastian P. Grimm. Nice to meet you Spangie.” He said with a confident voice. She mentions, well, more like exclaimed that she was looking for a Cafe as well. “Well, isn’t that convenient.” He chuckled a bit. “Then let's get going.” Sebastian continued. He scanned the streets of the marketplace. Looking for a Cafe, but he got bored quickly and tried to start conversation. “So…” Sebastian asked sternly. “...Is coffee you typical way to waste time in this death game or do you do something I’m not thinking of when I’m bored?”

“Day 459:

Grimm here, this is my, 489th log? I’m not sure, at this point I’m not sure about anything anymore. I can’t see to escape this h*** hole. Mentally or Physically, the only thing that has been keeping me going is to find Athena and find the man responsible for the death of Axel and Bolt. It's been a while since I’ve had something to eat, I’m heading to a nearby Cafe to get a coffee or two. Its surprising how few food joints there are in the town of new beginnings. This Sebastian P. Grimm. Signing off.

April, 20th. 2027. 5:35 PM.”

Grimm exited his menu, he was adding to his log. He does this to keep his mind off things, also if he makes it out alive, It's gonna be one popular book. “Alright… I’ve got this, just stay cool, calm, and collected. Nothing can bring you dow-oooooOW!” Sebastian said, face planting into the cobbled roads of the town of new beginnings, which responded by revealing the text ‘Immortal Object’. “...next time, I’ll try not to choke on my own foot.” Grimm said bitterly, sitting up and rubbing his shoulder which he landed on first. Looking up he saw a young blonde girl, looking about his age and a few inches shorter than him. She immediately tried to apologize, face red with embarrassment. “No ma’am. Its alright, I should have been paying more attention to my surroundings, names Sebastian… By the way, do you know where any dinners and or cafes are around here?” He said lightheartedly, getting to his feet.

(OOC:Grimm is currently wearing the outfit 'Royal Attire')

@Spangie

Sebastian went exploring down the halls of the mansion. Looking through rooms, this place actually looked like a mansion, but something was off. There was no bedrooms. Which is strange. What he did find was, a ballroom, smoking room, library, two private studies of which the doors where locked, a formal dining room that had a feast ready, sun room, a sauna, a grand foyer which you entered the building through, a public study which was connected to the library, servants quarters, and a sitting room. That was only the first floor. Sebastian decided he was gonna try out the sauna later, assuming its public. But first a quick trip to the library to research some things of interest, for example, monsters, dungeons, bosses, and more. He had no Idea where to start, he chose to research alchemy. The book was called ‘Potions and Medicine.’ Which seemed to be fairly interesting in on itself. After reading a few pages he put the book down, and began wandering the library, with its vast array of books and novels. He found one about familiars. He was curious about this, he knew three of the guest of the house had one. He opened it, curious to see if he found something even the owners didn’t know. Something he learned from that book was the fact that familiars are highly complexed NPC’s. They can almost qualify as an AI if it wasn’t for the fact that it deletes access code after creating more, that is what keeps it from becoming sentient. “Fascinating… That is something you don’t learn every day…” He said, curiosity in his voice. The library was across the hall of the ballroom, he opened the door, looking over the ballroom across the hall. Looking at all the familiars. He then closed the door again and continued reading in a big comfortable chair.

Sebastian continued monitoring the room eavesdropping on conversations that he might be interested in. He got a glass of wine from the food bar, there was all sorts of foods and drinks displayed throughout the dining table. He walked past Nova when she mentioned Karaoke. “I doubt anyone would sing Nova, they have to be drunk when they sing, and unfortunately, this game doesn’t allow that so... *Holds up his wine glass* Cheers! There actually might be another solution though. Like, if there was a prize, people might be interested. I mean, I would.” Sebastian said, back turned on Nova, walking away back towards the hallway, where he would get a perfect view of the room. There he could hold it in his memory. That was when he heard a loud bird ‘SQUAWK’. He turned around to see a crow fly to the ceiling, and land on the golden chandelier. “Um... “ He said to himself in confusion on how a bird managed to get in. He walked almost directly under the chandelier looking up at the bird. “Hey, anyone know who’s bird this is?” He said watching it closely. It seemed to be staring down a small dragon on one of the guests backs, he thought two things to himself. Who brings a dragon to a occasion like this? And… Holy s*** a dragon?! Where can I get one!
