Dustin

"Cute? I don't know about all that nonsense." He chuckles, letting out a sigh and dropping to sitting in front of the bench. He looks up at the other player, and squints. "Not buying it. There's no way you're interested in what I have to say." He laughs, genuinely. "The name's Dustin." He smiles, giving a thumbs up. "So where you taking me? I don't care so long as it isn't boring." He turns and looks at the other player and tilts his head, with a confused look. He blushes, and looks forward in a panicky manner. "So, you prefer your hair up?" He turns and smiles, pulling up his hood to hide his face, "I prefer my hood up." He stands and walks over to the other player. "You get to pick where we go, I usually flirt with the NPCs to mess with them."

It's true, you tend to do dumb stuff when you're bored. I even sometimes watch the sun. Not the sunset, the sun. Like watch it move through the sky. "Any way, lets go do something. Sitting here is fun and all, but I'd rather go do stuff." He draws his sword and holds it to Ennakai's neck, "Unless you're one of those boring types." He chuckles, letting out a small snort. "Nah, I can usually tell when someone is gonna be boring." He sheathes his blade rather quickly. "Now come on, let's go."

@Ennakai

"I was talking to the pig." Dustin runs towards the boar and slashes at the boar's legs, but the boar jumps over the blade and runs to a distance and turns around, charging towards the player. He jumps up over the boar and lands, rolling to his feet. "Asakku, you head back, I'll catch up. See if you can find ice cream." He shouts to the other player. If she finds it, I'm gonna be so fricking mad. Dustin turns and runs from the boar chasing him. "I won't die until you kill me, so don't worry about me. Of course, you probably don't care if I die." He says to himself. He sheathes his sword and just stands still watching the boar, I gotta impress her at some point. The player watches the boar as it charges, just waiting. Not moving. This boar is pretty strong, the little piggy has given me the most trouble. But I have to change, "I have to get stronger. I can't let his death be in vain." Dustin shouts, moving a safe distance away, giving him time to save his strength. He grabs the handle of his sword and eyes the boar.

"Hey, this area can be boring." Dustin said, approaching the player on the bench. "Want to go on an adventure? Mine tend to get dangerous." He turns, standing proud like a hero. He turns back and waves him over. "This world is fun if you like combat like I do." He grabs his sword, "With this sword I will destroy every monster in this world." He starts towards the nearest forest. "C'mon it'll be fun." He smiles, motioning for the player to follow him. I need a new friend to help me start my business. He looks around, scanning for the nearest monster nest. He turns and walks to the man with the purple hair and sits down next to him. This is my world, I was born for this world. My sword and I will vanquish every murderer in this world. He smiles, leaning back and watching the players walking around, listening to their remarks about the players on the bench. "I used to hate the people in this game." He admits, looking at a rock in his hand. "But you're different, not many players have emptiness in their eyes like us. Especially not the boring ones." Dustin pulls down his hood and smiles. "Us fun types gotta stick together, am I right?" He stands up and extends his arm for a handshake.

@Ennakai

"I'm gonna frickin lose my mind doing this." He says. "That's 12 failed searches." Dustin punches the wall, breathing heavily. "Take the blacksmith quest, they said. It'll be easy, THEY SAID!" He throws his sword to the entrance of the cave and shouts. This is the worst. I'm going berserk here soon and there's nothing I can do about it. Dustin walks out of the cave and tries to take a few deep breaths to calm down. I've only been this close to losing it once or twice before. He clenches his fists, and looks around like he's paranoid. I can't help but feel like HE is watching. He grabs his sword and starts swinging it aimlessly like when he fought the men who killed his brother. I'll make them pay, and they'll remember his name. He didn't deserve what they did to him. The victims almost never deserve the pain.

Dustin steps forward, watching the boar step back. He watches as the boar gets ready to charge and waits. NOW! The boar charges and Dustin spins out of the way, slashing the boar's side while at it. "Oh, not enough damage I guess. Huh?" He looks at his sword. "I'll get it next time." He rests his sword on his shoulder and his other arm on his blade, now crossing his shoulders. "I could've ducked under and stabbed upwards. But I did that already, and I don't want this to be boring." He breathes to calm down. "Maybe I'll buy some ice cream on the way back." He spins his sword, sheathing it and rubbing his chin. Huh, never thought I'd actually want to take someone to get ice cream. Never thought I'd have the courage to ask a girl. He smiles, still deep in thought. "Have you put any thought into what flavor you're getting?" Dustin asks, hoping to distract her from the quest. "Oh, and I don't know why, but you're the only person I get so emotional for, without me wanting to kill you." He says, with a confused face. It's weird. He turns and faces the boar, smiling at the red gash on the side. Not blood, but it'll do. He lowers his body and readies his blade. "You're not the one that went to the market are you?" He chuckles.

"Now hang on a minute. I still haven't had Ice Cream, if there was some here, I would've bought some." He remarks, standing proudly. I still haven't found a place that makes it yet. "Also, I'm a man of my word." He smiles, turning to Pick. "Speaking of, I'm going on a quest soon to make my first weapon, want it?" He asked, walking towards the water. "I don't have any plans for it yet. But I've been throwing around designs in my head."

After swimming around a bit, Dustin gets out of the water and moves to the shore. "Woah! Holy crap! That one looks like a shapeless white blob in the sky." He says, pointing to a cloud over Asakku's shoulder. He chuckles and walks away, laying on the ground. "I love it, I love this world. It's like it was made for me, swords but no magic, no respawning, and the best part. The real fear of dying." He says, hoping no one would hear. "But I still haven't met any girls around here." He sighs, standing up and walking along the shore.

@Asakku @Pick

I'm not very good at this whole searching thing am I? He stands up from yet another failed search. This world is for warriors like me, not for vultures. Dustin picks up his sword. I will be the hero of this world. It's important that I do this for Kadin. I need to be stronger to clear the game. After that happens, I won't know what to do, but by then I'll have avenged Kadin. That'll be done soon, hopefully. Maybe when I do, I can design a knife for him. I'll name my first blade Caliburn. Then I'll upgrade it into Excalibur. He draws a new design on the ground.

Maybe I can't make a good weapon. Nah, sure I can. I'll make the best blade and use it to kill the final boss. Then I'll make the sword in the real world, and use it to kill Kayaba for what he did. I'll make sure he suffers, He'll die the death of a thief and a murderer. He'll endure years of torture, or I'll kill him in one blow, one or the other.

Dustin examines his design and memorizes it. Using his mind to color it and pick materials and inscribe etchings. He designs an etching on the ground and keeps a keen eye on the design, memorizing every detail and searching through the designs for any flaws or inaccuracies and corrects them. My first blades will be black and white with crow pommels. The first will be Huginn and the second will be Muninn.

Dustin sighs. I hate searching for stuff when I can't kill anything. Besides, the only thing I get from this is I can afford ice cream eventually. He walks around, still trying to kill time and failing miserably. I need to get better at this whole spending time with other people thing, but no one likes me. It's whatever though. He digs around and finds nothing. I must be getting worse at this or something. He walks out of the cave. I should search in the forest, maybe I'll have better luck there. He climbs a tree and jumps to the next. Seems easy enough. He starts jumping from tree to tree, he drops to the ground and rolls. "Too easy." The man stands up and continues on his way to the clearing up ahead. He slams his sword into the ground, and runs and grabs a log. New pillow, frick yeah. He cuts the "pillow" in half and lays on it. He stabs his sword into the tree nearest to him.

Dustin rolls around and pulls his cloak off. He also removes his armor to rest. I've always wanted to help, why can't I? I've lost everything so it can't be fear. Dustin stands up walks out of the cave to stand and wait for time to pass. Come on, I have to get over this. The business will be helpful in the case of getting stronger. He draws his sword and stabs the ground. He leans against his sword and smiles, "This is the life. This sword is cold." He winces, leaning forward. Like I internally monologued earlier, I love this world. The real world is booty, but I am seeing a few up sides. He smiles, Real women. He lays down and smiles, Speaking of, I need to get out and talk to more of them if I ever want to get married. He stands up and searches for some materials, "Nothing. I hate this quest." He turns around and sits down.

"Failed again." He sighs, looking at his design. "Maybe that design won't come true." He draws his sword and slashes his knife designs. I'm gonna become powerful. He walks around watching the other players in the distance, killing boars. "That's where I should be. I'm a warrior, not a gatherer." I'm stuck in a cave drawing stuff on the floor. Dustin smooths the drawing out.

This is the world in which I fit best. I have more friends here than in the real world. I'm tired of being bummed out all the time. Dustin runs out into the woods and draws his swords, slashing trees to either side of him, leaving "x" marks on every one. I need to get faster. He says, pushing his body to it's limit. "Come on! Faster!" He drops to the ground from exhaustion.

He struggles to stand up and makes his way back to the cave. Within a blinks time he's back at the cave, Pretty easy. I will be the fastest player in the game. He runs to his spot in the cave and lays down.

"My life's changed since I met those players." Dustin stands up and kicks a rock. He looks at the design and thinks. "Maybe if I shorten the blade and increase the speed stat, It might work for my friend." He smiles. But to increase the speed, I might have to decrease the damage. I'll refine the details later, I need to get materials first. He stands up and starts digging around.

Never been so annoyed in my life. Well, that's not true, I had been to most of High School. He chuckled, "I'm hilarious." He walks to the design. "The design is flawed, I'll have to refine it here." He adds a few touches, making the design a bit more elegant. "I've got it!" He stands up quickly. The blade could be twisted back to the blade and rounded. This is the second best Idea I've ever had. Dustin smiles and dances around, jumping up and down.

"I'm a genius. This is my break through." He dances, spinning around and jumping.

Dustin looks around and sighs, I'd better get moving on this quest. He stands up, making his way to the entrance of the cave. He heads to a clearing in the forest and sits, watching the clouds go by. I wish I was a bit more relaxed. This world has always come easy to me, I know what to do. Others aren't so lucky. He stands up and brushes off his legs. I know what it's like to not fit in, that's why I try to make everyone feel at ease.

Having made his way back to the cave, Dustin walks in and digs around on the ground for a short while. Standing up having found nothing, Dustin shouts. I wish I could help those in need, like a true knight. Instead I can't even help myself. Dustin kicks the dirt. "COME ON!" He shouts. This is MY world, I fight for myself. I will clear the game and kill that snake, Kayaba.

Dustin stands up and plans out his first blade. Maybe the blade could be red, and the cross guard could be darker red. Dustin picks up a stick and draws the design for the sword in the dirt. "And the pommel could be a crow." Dustin mumbles to himself.

Dustin looks around, "What's the point of even getting mad?" He walks away. The problem is I hate the real world. My only friend in the real world is dead. It is the worst being alone in the real world. He starts to think about the job in the future. Maybe if people with a little money ask for help I will, but if they need help making money I'll have to go with them. Dustin smiles.

I could be a bodyguard and help the weak beat the strong. He grabs his sword and hugs it, "You're my baby, don't worry." He lays down and grabs his sword and swings at the wall. "I have to get stronger." He slams his sheath against the wall as hard as he can. Kadin would've loved this. He loved pointless adventures, especially out in the woods. Dang, I have to get myself under control. Kadin would want me to move on. Dustin makes his way to the edge of the forest and kneels in front of a broken sword in the ground. "I wish you were here."

He makes his way back to the cave and sits down, sighing.

May I have one? (if I'm not mistaken on what it is.)

Dustin throws his head back and groans. "I hate this stupid quest!" He shouts. After hearing his echo he giggles a little. This world is where I belong. I've killed before in the real world, not people of course. I've done a lot of killing in the real world and it was never with a gun. He throws his sword at a tree and it sticks into the trunk. I want to die. He falls back and sighs, covering his face with his hands. "Why do you hate me? Huh?! Why me?! What have I done?" He shouts. If my friend were here, he'd say something about 'Luck is what you make.' and stuff. He puts his sword away and starts punching the tree. Why am I so frickin' bored? All I need is a friend and I'll be set for a while. 

Dustin lays down on the ground and closes his eyes. This is the world I was born for. He waits around and eventually falls asleep. A few more hours pass and Dustin stands up and watches the sunrise. "Beautiful day." He smiles genuinely for the first time in a while.

Dustin stands up and searches through the cave. "Cerdic, you lying snake." I can't believe that butt head lied. He punches the wall as hardly as he can. He steps back huffing and puffing, drawing his brow closer together. This is why I stopped adventuring for a while. He paces around and rubs his chin. This business is important, but the quest is already annoying. He drops to his knees and throws his body forward. It's so boring, I frickin hate this.

I wonder why people can hate this game. Of course there's the obvious. However, the real world sucks, and if you die in the real world you're dead for good anyways. Why not have fun adventuring while you're at it. He frowns, thinking about his brother. "Dang it." He stands up and walks out of the cave to swing his sword and practice his technique. After a few swings he steps back into his little hidey hole.

Dustin searches again, finding nothing. Whatever, eventually I'll get something. He grabs his sword and walks around out in the woods. Opening his inventory, he pulls his sword out and puts it in his inventory. Hopefully I won't be needing this. I won't be replacing her, but I may one day. He looks around and throws a rock at a tree as hard as he can. The rock bounces off of a tree and it hits another rock. That was soooo cool. I wish someone was here with me to see it. He throws his head back holding his forehead.

This frickin' sucks. He walks back towards the cave and sits down. He lays down on the floor in the cave. He throws a rock up and catches it repeatedly, humming a song and dancing to the beat. He rolls over and pulls his cloak on tight. He launches the rock out into the woods, and curses the name Cerdic.

Dustin searches the forest floor and kicks the dirt. "Not again." He shouts, picking up his stuff heading south and moving past his favorite spot. He moves on to the cave Cerdic mentioned beforehand. Have I been here before? He walks into the cave and looks into the cave. This would be a great napping spot. He starts humming music and leans against the cave wall. "Echo!" He giggles, and lays down and closes his eyes.

He wakes up a few minutes later and stands up, hitting his head on the cave wall. "Stupid fu... Frickin wall." He shouts, kicking the wall. He walks back to grab his sword and starts hitting the wall. I should learn to handle shields by doing this. This is how I learn to fight, in solitude. This is my natural habitat. He sheathes his sword and walks back to the edge of the cave. He moves to the entrance and looks around, but can't see due to it being night.

"Hey guy, one quest please." He says, rudely. "Sorry, I'm a bit excited." He chuckles. This is gonna be awesome. He listens to the man explaining the quest to him. This world has been fun, but once I get out of here I'm gonna be a real blacksmith. He smiles and runs out the door, "Thanks Cerdic! I'll be back soon." Dustin bursts out of the smithy and runs to the edge of town, making sure to stop at every restaurant to check for ice cream. I have to help the weaker players. If I don't I'll be worse than the murderers who killed my brother. Wow, I'm depressing when there's no one to stop me. He makes his way to the edge of the town.

Maybe I can kill some boars. No, way too risky. Dustin takes a step out of town and makes his way to a forest. "This will be just about far enough." He sits down and looks around, "This dumb forest, too many bad memories." He sighs, laying back on a log. This sucks, this world is awesome and I'd rather die here than the real world.

Dustin kneels down and digs through the dirt for a material. "Nothing." He sighs.

Dustin walks out of a forest, thinking back to a few business proposals and thinking, Maybe I could work on that now. Besides, I can work on talking to customers later. He looks down at his sword, plus maybe I can make her stronger. He lowers his body and runs back to the town, trying to cover a great distance in a little time. Making swords is gonna be so fun, I've wanted to since I was a kid. It's literally a dream come true. Making swords to take on quests and kill monsters. Using those monsters drops to make more swords and create a cycle. Dustin stops right outside the town of beginnings. This would be better if I had someone to help me. He rushes to the blacksmith he was told about, and makes good time too. Stopping only to look at ice cream. He makes his way to the outside of the shop and stares inside. "Here I go." He exhales, walking forward and opening the door.

Dustin walks out of the town of beginnings and Digs. "Already off to a good start." He says, picking up the first material.

Dustin looks over and sees a friend waving to him. He observes the surrounding area and sees another familiar face. "Probably shouldn't ruin her day. I've done that too many times." He shouts to the man waving to him. Not only that. She also promised to kill me and I gave her permission to. He stands up and walks over to Pick. "She hates me. I deserve it. Not a likable person, this fella" He smiles weakly, moving to the deeper water. "I may or may not have thrown a rock at her face. Only half on purpose." He drops his head in embarrassment. "Hey! Do you think they have ice cream at that picnic area over there?" He asks excitedly, running back to the shore. "Be back in a minute!" He shouts, running as fast as he can to the picnic area and sliding across a table.

"Is there... Any... Ice cream?" He questions, trying to catch his breath. He looks over to an empty table and sits down, watching the other people have fun. I wish my brother could've seen this. He loved the beaches. Dustin drops his head on the table, making a loud thud. And to add on to it, there isn't any ice cream. Dustin lets out a sigh. He makes his way back to Pick, with a frown on his face. "There's no frickin' ice cream." He laments, kicking the sand lightly.

@Pick

Group 2

Dustin stands behind the yellow-eyed woman and smiles. "It appears he knows him." Dustin says, grabbing his sword. "Listen, my friend asked a question. If you don't answer, I'll make you." He mentions, trying to seem tough. This could prove to be difficult. He appears to have attacked a player at least once before, and that makes him scum. "I don't particularly like players who hurt others." He adds, "I personally hate orange players. Preying on the weak makes you weaker." He stops smiling. What a wuss, too scared to duel someone fairly, so he has to attack without even holding back. Only thing worse than an orange player is a red player. He breathes, smiling again.

He sits next to the two of them. "Come on, I don't plan to hurt anyone today." He continues with an innocent smile. He motions to the waitress, "Two coffees over here! You want anything Miss?" He asks, sitting back in his chair. He waves to Froppy, "Come on! Have some fun with us." Dustin leans over to the woman next to him, "Chances are, I'm gonna make a poor decision." He whispers, sitting back up. "It's on this fella here." He says to the waitress, throwing his arm around the orange player next to him. He passes a drink to the still rather terrifying lady with yellow eyes. "This one's yours I believe."

@Jevi @Froppy

Dustin walked onto the beach, panning his eyes across the horizon. This is gonna be relaxing. He looks around, too many people for my taste. Making his way back to a tree, he sits and exhales. "Way too many people." He sighs, opening his inventory and looking for his regular clothes. Then again, it does feel nice to not be wearing all that armor, even if it is super light. He slides his body lower to a laying position. After a few minutes, Dustin stands up and leans against the tree. Bad idea to sleep here, too many people. Plus I talk in my sleep, so that's no good. Dustin runs as fast as he can to the emptiest part of the water and dives in head first, not realizing it's only a few feet deep.

He stands up quickly and spits out sand, looking around frantically to make sure no one saw. "Close one, too close. I was almost embarrassed." Dustin turns, noticing everyone on the other side of him. He looks at the sky and holds his face. "This was supposed to be how I learn to talk to people." He complains. Might as well just sit and wait, hopefully someone else will initiate the conversation.

Dustin stands up, yawning on his way over to the next boar. He locks eyes with the beast and smiles. "You're mince meat." He draws his sword and slashes at the beast, missing. What the? I could've sworn I timed that perfectly. His eyes open completely as the boar charges at him. As the boar charges Dustin thinks frantically and begins to looks worried. When he notices the boar is shifting its weight he realizes the boars target. So it's my chest huh? He throws his right shoulder down and back, ducking right under neath the boar.

"That was a bit too close." He sighs, "Asakku, go ahead and take a break. This is the last one, don't waste your energy." He looks at the boar, and draws his eyebrows together. His face gets red and his heart rate is faster than normal. Dropping his chin he stares at the boar silently for a few seconds. "I kept the rock because you're the first person I've met in over a year who I don't hate." He starts to raise his arms to a ready battle stance, "When I grab this rock, It's remembering that there is someone out there that I like to spend time with. It's why I keep going. I know most people hate me, that's why I hate most people. You're different. That's all." Dustin looks at Asakku, face redder than a sunburnt strawberry, not even realizing that every sign of anger had disappeared, "No other reason." He looks back at the boar and swings his sword up, aiming at the boar over his shoulder, trying to hide a smile.

Dustin jumps out of the tree, stabbing the boar on the way down. He rolls on the landing to avoid damage. Standing up and breathing, he picks up the Boar Tusk and puts it in his inventory. "You want some help?" He asks, aiming his sword at the next boar. "I have been practicing." He says to himself, dropping his sword arm to his side. Just a few more if I'm not mistaken. I can handle a few more fights, hopefully. Dustin shakes his head, noticing a boar a few meters away. He looks back at @Asakku and focuses on the boar she's fighting. If she has any more trouble I may have to help. He turns his back to the boar, still listening for the dirt to shift and thinking of the speed at which they run. He walks up next to the woman and sits down, still watching the boar. He observes her fighting style and moves away from the battlegrounds.

"You can do this." Dustin exclaims, jumping in the air. "If you can't kill a boar then you have no chance against me." He mentions. "By the way, you made me a promise to kill me and I'm holding you to that." He smiles, "I promise I won't die until then." He says, pulling the rock out that the threw at her a while back.
