Kimihito

Kimihito continued looking at the night sky for quite a bit. After a few minutes he turned around and got back inside,closing the balcony door behind him. He noticed Ghost who was sitting down against the wall,and sighed. He went over,silent for a bit. He tried to understand what happened "What happened? Jade?" He kneeled down in front of her,and looked at her face,seeing that she was on the verge of tears. "Jade..Why?"He mumbled. He thought of how he could make her stop crying,and comfort her. He never helped another person feel better since he was isolated for most of the time but he had been comforted before by people. He finally thought of something to do. He hesitated for a moment and after a bit of hesitation,he hugged her,patting her back "It's going to be alright Jade..Just please dont cry..You're making me sad,i cant stand seeing you like that. Tell me,what can i do to help and i'll do it"He said,a tear ran down his right cheek,as he was reminded of his own situation years ago. Now,Kimihito wanted to help her go over whatever happened,or atleast make her feel comfortable and happy for once.

@Ghost

Kimihito listened silently as Ghost explained that she talked to herself sometimes while being asleep "Jade,i want you to wake me up if you dont feel well,alright?I'll be here for you so dont worry" Kimihito said,his tone serious this time.He wanted to show that he cared about her and wanted to help her. "Just wake me up if you need me" He repeated and then closed his eyes again.He shifted his position from time to time in his sleep,snoring slightly.He slept soundly, smiling in his sleep. He was having a dream or so it seemed by his expression while asleep. The room's lights went out automatically due to both players being asleep.

His bed was really comfy and the way he liked it. His sleep didnt last for long tho,and it was somewhat common for him these days. Some time later that night,he got up from his bed and rubbed his eyes,then blinked. He headed towards the balcony and gazed over to the horizon,smiling as he saw the many  stars on the night sky,along with the peace and quiet of the night "Darn..Didnt know it felt that good to sleep in an inn"He mumbled to himself and shrugged his shoulders. He just looked and looked at the horizon,admiring the night sky,his expression somewhat sleepy..

@Ghost

Kimihito allowed her to walk by herself even if he knew she wasnt really able to due to her feeling sleepy.He slowly made his way upstairs,ready to catch her if she eventually couldnt walk. He followed her from behind as they entered the room and closed the door behind him "Alright i'll take the other bed then Jade" He would sit on his bed and listen to what she was talking about "Look Jade,if you need someone to talk to or whatever,i'll be here alright?If im asleep just wake me up okay?" He said in a somewhat serious yet kind tone then yawned and stretched his arms.He blushed a bit when she said he wasnt allowed to peek "Yes,understood" He waited for her to come out and then went inside the bathroom tp change aswell.He came back out wearing grey shorts and a black shirt then he laid on his bed "Rest well.Dont forget,if you need anything, wake me up" He pulled the covers over to him and closed his eyes,resting on the bed.

(OOC: sorry if its somewhat small,im on from my phone)

@Ghost

Kimihito silently watched how Ghost reacted,taking note of the nervous laugh "Well..It's understandable,but do know im considering you a friend,one of my few friends at that..So if you'll need anything from me,i'll be more than glad to help you Jade"He finished the last of his ale and handed the bartender the mug,then nodded his head as she explained to him that he should call her Ghost around other people "We have enough yeah. No worries,and come on,cheer up. Nothing bad will happen"He gave her a reassuring smile,then got up from his seat "Well,i hope you do consider me a friend sometime."He simply stated,and opened up the menu for them to pay for the Inn room "There,lets do it"He pointed to the transaction button and pressed it when she also did so.

He listened silently to what Ghost was saying,calling people kind but then as she mentioned that she havent had an extensive conversation with anyone on the floor,he nodded his head "Same with me,only with one more person" He then sighed as she said nevermind "Well,i wont force you to reveal whatever you wanted to say,but if you change your mind,you can always tell me. As i said,i wont judge you"He would look over to the stairs "Yeah lets go,it would be bad if you passed out on the floor,wouldnt it? After you Jade"He smiled a bit at her,standing next to the staircase "Oh,and if you feel like you cant walk,i'll carry you up no problem"He stated,blushing a bit at what he said.

@Ghost

Kimihito continued his search for materials,not being successfull yet again. Seeing that Katagawa was unsuccessfull aswell made him facepalm "Damn it..We need to go further i guess"He shrugged and sighed "This will take a while wont it?"He laughed a bit at their situation,trying to atleast make himself feel happy or thats what he thought. He listened quietly to Katagawa talking about herself. He was surprised to hear that her family was living in poverty,as he never lived like that "Might be tough i suppose..Well,my father is a bussinessman and my mother owns a flower shop. We never were rich nor poor,we were just there. Im 18 currently so no studies like that as of yet so yeah. I hope i'll return one day to see them.I miss them a lot.."And he did,it was one of the things he constantly thought about from time to time. "Anyway,lets get going Katagawa"

@Katagawa

Kimihito shook his head as she said that she was sorry and that she's probably an idiot "Dont be sorry. And dont get flustered. And it is understandable. I hope that changes sooner or later,so if you want to know anything,feel free to ask and i'll see what i can do"He drank a bit more of his ale,and noticed that she was somewhat nervous due to her nervous laughter. "Well yeah,i agree with you Jade..Wait,do you want me to call you jade or do you prefer ghost?"He blushed a tad,thinking that he messed up. He remained silent,listening to her suggestion about the money "Hmm..That could be a possibility..What would you like to do with the money tho? Get a room?"He shrugged his shoulders "That sounds quite the nice deal,if you're okay with it i suppose.."

Then,he listened quietly to her,as she asked him about what makes him feel like being alone. He sighed a bit,and spoke after a few silent moments "Well..You could say that im mostly isolating myself because of my self-esteem. Im afraid that people will think badly of me..It honestly makes me feel really bad and also useless..Other than that,im somewhat shy while around people,but with the few people im friends with,im fine. That also includes you now"He said and took another sip of his ale,then he set the mug down "Alright,now's my turn. What do you think so far about the people you've met in here?"He asked,curious mostly of what she thought about him,but listening about other people was also one of the things he wanted to get done. He ordered some chips from the bartender,setting them down in front of them "Alright,time for a snack"He laughed a bit.

@Ghost

Kimihito continued drinking some of his ale,while also listening to what she was mumbling "Huh?What do you mean? If you dont think i care about other people,you're mistaken Ghost. How can i prove that?"He asked out of curiosity,and in the meanwhile finished his mug of ale,handing it over to the bartender "Give me another one bartender"He told the man,and looked over to her,as Ghost was saying that she wanted to sleep "Well,if it makes you feel any better,im poor aswell..Cant afford a room to stay at myself"He laughed a bit at his own situation,it was his way to say that in the end it didnt matter that much. He nodded his head to the bartender and took a sip of his newly bought ale,then looked over as she introduced herself "Well,nice to meet you Jade. Sounds like a cool name"He smiled a tad at her,then listened quietly to her question. He gave it some thought,thinking of what to answer since he was somewhat surprised "To be trully honest,i cant give you an exact answer. Some who have met me call me an outcast,others call me a lone man. In my opinion they are both right and wrong. If i were to pick one of these tho,i'd pick maybe the hero?"He didnt know how to exactly answer to her question,and what he said,was what he trully thought. He shrugged his shoulders "That was a good one Jade. Now,it's my turn i guess.."He noted and thought of what he could ask her about "Hmm..What to ask..."He couldnt think of anything to ask "Why dont you go at it again? Im somewhat out of questions right now.."He chuckled lightly and took another sip of his ale.

@Ghost

Kimihito listened quietly and carefully as she explained why her username is Ghost. Being unwanted,unwelcome and unnoticed himself before,he understood her situation perfectly. She reminded him of his own problems some months ago. A few months ago,he wanted to fade into nothingness aswell. But there was more to it. As Ghost explained that it was the first time she smiled in a long time,Kimihito was surprised. He saw her attempt at a smile and smiled back. He even heard that he made her feel safe and he was glad he did. "Well..Just so you know,when you're around me,i dont want you to feel unnoticed,unwelcome or unwanted. Because i'll be noticing you,welcoming you and want you to be here. Okay? So dont be afraid"He said and then remembered his promise to himself as she reminded him his promise to her "Oh,right. My username,Kimihito is a play on my actual real life name. Well,i'll suppose i'll tell you that my name is Kimito Arihito"He said calmly and leaned back on his chair "Your turn now"

@Ghost

Kimihito was glad to see Ghost smiling once again,nodding his head "Smiling isnt weird,it's natural"He smiled back then took another sip from his mug of ale. He looked at the bartender,giving him the Col he had to pay for ordering his ale,along with Ghost's drink. The bartender nodded his head and went back to work. Then as Ghost thanked him for the glass of water,he nodded "No worries."He then waited for Ghost to ask a question. He thought a bit about her question,a question he didnt expect to be asked at all. Finally,after a moment of silence he spoke "Somewhat worrying. Im worried that i wont be able to survive tommorow because you never know what might happen..Im worried because im afraid of what people might think of me. Im also afraid that i wont be able to go back.."He sighed a bit "Thats all that worries me right now. But one thing i've been taught in here is to never think of this world as just a game. It's our reality.."He mumbled the last part. "Well..Looks like im next. Why's your in game name Ghost? I'll reveal my own reason for Kimihito after you do"He asked that question in order to lighten up the mood and because of his own curiosity getting the better of him.

@Ghost

Kimihito listened quietly to Katagawa talk as he continued his search for materials. Unfortunately,he couldnt find any more plants that would be usefull for the potions which made him frown "Damn,this place looks explored already.."He mumbled and continued walking along with Katagawa "Yeah,it's beautifull even if this is a death game. I honestly think that this game would be topping all the top lists in the world if only it didnt end up like this."He said with a nod of his head to show that he agreed with her. He continued walking along with her,keeping an eye for any materials to be gathered in the meanwhile "Well..Katagawa,since we arent doing anything but walking right now,tell me about yourself"He said,smiling a tad as they continued walking.He thought it would be a nice way to spend their time instead of silently searching.

@Katagawa

Kimihito silently observed as Ghost drank a bit of her drink. He blushed a tad when she said that it might look weird if she rested her head on his shoulder "Well..It's uh..Up to you.Just wanted to be nice i guess"He shrugged his shoulders and ordered another mug of ale,taking a sip from it a bit later. He frowned as he figured that she was trying to suppress her smile,and barely heard what she muttered to herself "You shouldnt try to supress your smile Ghost. If you can smile,you can truly shine"He said,smiling a bit himself. He then looked as Ghost rested her head on the countertop and used her arms as pillows. He raised an eyebrow as he heard the Hic sound "Bartender,i need some water"He said to the NPC and the bartender handed him a mug of water "There you go ghost"He handed her the water and thought of her previous question "Well,sure i guess..Ask away then"He drank a bit more of his ale,then looked over to Ghost one more time.

@Ghost

Kimihito smiled a bit as he saw Ghost giggling although he didnt really understand why she did so. "Of course. It's a nice tavern"He nodded his head,continuing to smile at her. He was glad she was getting a bit happier. He observed the conversation between Ghost and the Bartender while also taking a sip of his ale.He noticed she was getting somewhat sleepy and her saying so confirmed it "Well..Um..You can uh..Rest your head on my shoulder if that helps i guess.I dont think i can help you stay awake. Your avatar is probably exhausted or something"He shrugged a bit "You dont have to force yourself anyway Ghost."Then Kimihito took another sip of his ale "It's up to you. Seeing you smile by the way is so nice. Makes me smile"He said with a blush,realizing what he said but also smiled. He finished drinking his ale and handed the mug to the bartender,who just laughed a bit,seeing that Kimihito was done with it already.

@Ghost

Kimihito continued to follow Katagawa,looking around from time to time in order to find any more materials to gather. Unfortunately,he didnt seem to get any so he followed quietly "Thanks Katagawa for being patient. I didnt expect that"He said and walked up to her,going along. He surveyed his surroundings,trying to figure out if he missed anything but he didnt seem to find anything more "Well damn,looks like we need to go deeper into the forest. Materials are nonexistant in this part of it."He said outloud and kept walking,remaining silent. From time to time,he looked around to admire the beauty of the forest they were in,as it was his first time out in this part of the first floor. "This place is quite different from the plains huh? Quite the difference"He noted,and kept walking along

@Katagawa

Kimihito laughed a bit when Lynn said that it was obviously because of her that he was having fun right now. The young player simply looked at her for a bit,before stating the following "Well perhaps it's you..Who knows? Cant deny it's fun being around you so far Lynn."He chuckled a tad then listened quietly as she said that she appreciated the fact he came and found her "Can say the same. Woudl be a boring day anyway,wouldnt it?"He rubbed the back of his head and as she mentioned that he was right,that he should be positive he nodded his head "Well yeah,thats the spirit indeed."

Then as Lynn mentioned the fact that she was an awfully stubborn person,he smiled a bit "Thats really intriguing..Alright then Miss Lynn..I'll keep that in mind next time. Just wanted to show how much of a gentleman i am"He said jokingly,his mood already being somewhat better than before. Then she asked if she can call him Kimito instead. Kimito nodded his head at her question "Whatever's fine with you Lynn.I dont mind honestly. Nobody else knows my name except you so thats somewhat special on it's own"He chuckled lightly as their meal arrived.

Then as she asked if he is scared of asking questions,he merely shook his head "No,not really. I just dont want to make others feel uncomfortable. it's good that you confirmed that i can ask you about stuff now,that makes it a lot easier heh"He said with a nod "Alright then Lynn. What are your hobbies? I enjoy listening to music,i also enjoy playing video games as you can already figure out and im also somewhat into drawing."He said,starting to eat a bit of his fish using his fork. He certainly wanted to know more now about her,now that she assured him that it was okay for him to ask stuff.

@Lynn

Kimihito sighed as she apologized "Dont be sorry Ghost. You're human so things like that are bound to happen. It was not rude and it was understandable. As i said the moment we met,im not one to judge people. So dont worry about it."He said in a gentle yet serious tone. He took a look around,confirming for himself that there were no players,but only npcs inside the tavern. He chuckled a tad as she asked him what he meant about the stares "Well..I dont know about you but sometimes when i go in an inn i get stares from people. Im not sure why.."He shrugged his shoulders "What will you get?"He took a seat next to her,looking over to the bartender "A mug of ale bartender"Kimihito said and the bartender nodded,handing him his mug of ale soon afterwards "Nice little tavern huh.."He said and then took a sip of his Ale. He set his mug down and scratched his chin then looked over to Ghost.

@Ghost

Kimihito frowned as he saw her being flustered and then quieter. He listened quietly at was she was saying. He managed to listen to what she muttered to herself but didnt show it at all. Instead he sighed "I didnt want you to be uncomfortable Ghost.Im sorry. Im pretty sure i ended up reminding you something bad that happened. I wont bring it up again. Lets just focus on enjoying ourselves alright?"He asked,frowning a bit still but looked away,trying to give her some space. Then as she mentioned that she wanted to go at a tavern,he nodded his head "Tavern it is then. I dont mind whatsoever."He said with a small smile,then continued walking along with her as they eventually reached a tavern. He stood next to the door "After you Ghost"He tried to be polite to her,trying to not make her feel flustered. The tavern was empty of players but full of NPCs "Well..Atleast it will be quiet. We wont get stares huh.."He chuckled a tad and looked at her again.

@Ghost

Kimihito nodded his head "Well,i guess you could say so. Im planning to leave this floor soon anyway so im enjoying this place as much as i can.."He watched the leaves move in the wind along with her,admiring the scenery. He remained silent when he saw her close her eyes and nodded his head when she said this place is beautiful. He was glad to see her smile,and smiled back "Couldnt agree more with you. This is one of the best spots in this town."He looked up to see the leaves looking like they moved like a wave,and then looked back over to her as she seemed to be shocked "Im sorry if i made you feel awkward,that wasnt my intention.."He rubbed the back of his head and blushed aswell,then sighed "Oh..Well,you're interesting. If that makes you feel better,you can take it as a compliment"He said,continuing to blush "Im sorry if i reminded you something you were trying to forget. It wasnt my intention to make you sad.."He got up from the bench they were sitting at "Well..How about we go through the central square of this part of town? Then we can stop at an inn or a tavern,up to you."He extended his hand towards her to help her up.

@Ghost

Kimihito nodded his head as he saw her be a lot calmer afterwards,not bothering to ask about what she was going to say because he didnt want to make her feel nervous again. He simply looked at the sky,smiling a tad and enjoying the beautifull scenery. He looked over to notice that she indeed looked happier yet something was still wrong. He didnt speak,choosing to listen quietly to what she was talking about. Finally,he nodded his head at her question "Most of the time. Mostly NPCs are around here so it's the perfect place to be if you dont want to be around many people. People like me or you for example."He said,looking over to her once again "So yeah.It's the perfect place. And it's quite beautifull too. Dont you think so?"Kimihito said and thought of what to do next "Wanna go for a walk around? You're an interesting one,so i'd like to be your friend."He stated,looking at his feet soon afterwards and blushing,thinking he sounded weird.

@Ghost

Kimihito remained quiet as Ghost weakly smiled at him,but after a bit he spoke "Looks like it,doesnt it?"He returned the smile,although his was a bigger one. Then he noticed that he made her a bit more nervous,which made him sigh once. "Im stupid..Shouldnt have mentioned that.." he thought to himself as he saw her bury her face in her cloak "No need to apologise Ghost. And im sorry if im making you feel nervous..Im somewhat like you sometimes..So i perfectly understand how it feels like." He said and looked at his feet,then back at her.

He listened quietly as she mentioned that she was going to rent a room at the nearby inn,but she didnt have enough money to do so. She also mentioned that she wanted to clean her head so she came out here in the park for that reason. Then,after she asked about why he was here,he took his time to think of a response.After a minute of silence,he finally spoke "Well..I come here regularly to clean my head. Im sitting here,thinking and admiring the place. It's quite the nice place anyway although empty most of the time."He said and took a look around,seeing that most of the players that were around were gone "See? Most of them left."

@Ghost

Kimihito noticed that Ghost looked somewhat shy and it really reminded him of himself. He took a seat next to her as she told him that he can. Kimihito looked over to her "Pleased to meet you Ghost. Please dont be nervous.I wont judge you for any reason."He said,looking at her "She is just like me huh..Or how i used to be anyway.." He thought to himself and looked around the park then back at her,taking note of her outfit "Huh..We're wearing identical stuff heh.."He said with a small smile. Then as she said that it looks real,he just nodded his head "Well,thats our reality for now..So you could say it's real."He noted and stretched his arms "Well Ghost,why are you out here alone? Didnt expect to find other people here.It is the place where im having my thoughts for various things..Anyway.Yeah it's a nice day huh?"He didnt want to make her feel more awkward,remaining silent.

@Ghost

Kimihito was surprised to see that she actually somewhat cared,looking at her in the eyes "Well yeah..People avoided me for the most part..Sometimes i just couldnt go and talk with them. Only recently i started talking with others,and im glad i did.Because if i didnt,i wouldnt have a good time now,would I?"He said,grinning a tad at her then just smiled. "Im really glad im here right now,because it's far more enjoyable than any other meeting i've had so far.Dont know what it is,maybe it's just me or it's you. Who knows?"He shrugged and the NPC waiter arrived. He told the NPC what they wanted to order then the NPC left.

Kimihito nodded his head at her as she said that he should forget about the bad times"Yeah..I need to focus on the present..Enjoy this world and all.."He said,thinking of when he made himself the promise. When he promised that he would enjoy this world. As she said that he doesnt need to pay,he shook his head "No..I will pay. Dont worry about it. Maybe you can repay me next time"He chuckled a bit. He listened quietly as she talked about herself "Well my name is Kimito in real life.Im also 18 and im only level 3. So we're somewhat the same."He said,relaxing in the tarven "Nothing else i have to know,i wont ask for anything more since i dont want to make you feel uncomfortable."He said,smiling at her again.It was apparent that he was enjoying himself.

@Lynn

Kimihito looked over to Lynn as she went in, and took a deep breath before following in behind her. Seeing that she chose the table they would sit at,he took a seat on the opposite of hers,looking over to her then he took a look around to see that the tavern was filled with both Npcs and players,although the players were less than the NPCs. He looked over to her as she asked about what he thought of the place. He nodded his head slowly and tapped his fingers on the table "Yeah.Looks quite good to be honest" And it did for him,he hadnt been in this tavern that much,but the times he had been here were times that he was alone,which made him realize how sad of a life he was living in this world "Much better than last time i've been here,alone."He stated and opened up a menu to see what the tavern offered.

He browsed through the various food types and as Lynn asked if he'll be getting anything "I'll get some fish along with a mug of ale. What will you get Lynn?"He grinned a bit at her,putting the menu away and looking at her "Im sure you know that you cant get drunk here,so you can get whatever you want. Maybe i'll pay for that afterwards. I feel like i have to"He chuckled lightly. He indeed felt like he had to,he didnt want to seem rude and he thought it would be really polite of him to do so. He then took a look around again,then back over to Lynn,obviously enjoying being here with her,even if they met just a while ago. "So Lynn..Tell me about yourself. I'll tell you about me aswell after you do."He said,smiling at her and seeming more confident again.

@Lynn

Kimihito nodded his head as she said that he has been through some tough stuff himself. Staying positive is a good thing,showing it is kinda hard for him tho. Then,as Lynn said that she'll beat em up for him,he laughed a bit "Oh great. Maybe we can beat them up together..Havent seen them in months tho" He didnt know how to fully express himself either,trying to look cheerfull for once since it had been a while from the last time he enjoyed someone's company. Then,as Lynn asked about whether he meant that the outfit she was wearing fit her or not,he nodded his head "Yeah.It looks good on you. Kinda suits you."He then did a thumbs up "Just stating a fact,dont thank me."Kimihito said and chuckled lightly then looked away as he somewhat blushed.

Lynn seemed to want to go to a Cafe or a Tavern which made kimihito think of the nearest Tavern to their location. He looked over to her again,raising an eyebrow "Ladies man heh..Alright then Miss Lynn. Follow me"He grabbed her hand and started walking towards the nearest tavern. After realizing what he did,he let go and sighed "Oh sorry..I uh..Didnt realize what i did"He said,blushing again and looking to the side "Sorry if i annoyed you or something. Happens when i am having a good time"He then looked ahead of him as they were approaching the Tavern. It was a wooden building,which was neither empty nor crowded. It was filled with npcs and the occasional player "After you Lynn" Kimihito stood next to the tavern door,allowing her to go in first.

@Lynn

While the two continued their walk towards the town,Kimihito would be almost always silent,untill Lynn spoke up that is. "Ehm..Well,first of all..I have had quite the bad encounters these two years i've been here. Being called weak,a coward..Just because i was worrying about me..That was partially true untill i finally ventured out of here..I made a promise to myself. I promised i'd live life to it's fullest"He sighed and rubbed the back of his head when he was called normal by Lynn "Thank you Lynn..I really um..Appreciate it i guess"He tried to smile and he did. They reached the town of Beginnings shortly after their little talk.

Kimihito was surprised that she said he could tell her anything and that she didnt mind "Well..Same goes for you Lynn."He said then looked in front of him as they entered the central square. A big oak tree was in the middle along with some benches around the place. Kimihito looked over to her,noticing her clothing and thought it suited her quite a bit "Nice outfit Lynn..It suits you quite nicely"He said,smiling at her. It was apparent that he was getting comfortable with being around her. "Well then, Miss Lynn"He said in a joking tone "What would you like to do now? The lady can pick" He said,grinning a tad at her and stood in front of her. 

@Lynn

Kimihito nodded as Lynn seemed to agree with his view on the nice weather. He took a look around one more time before standing next to Lynn,not leaning on the wall anymore. He took an interest in her, as he found her to be quite the interesting person to interact with. He thought that of all of his own interactions with other people, this interaction was the smoothest one he had in a while. When she explained that she hasnt explored very far on this floor,he nodded his health "Same with me. Havent done much around here,although i would gladly explore with someone." He noted and chuckled lightly as he said so,then stretched his arms.

Kimihito then noticed how Lynn was grinning at him and raised an eyebrow,looking at her,forming somewhat of a grin himself but not as much of a grin as hers. "Mister Casanova huh?"He asked jokingly,blushing a tad at her remark then laughed a bit. He saw that she replaced her armour with a casual outfit and got rid of her spear. So he did the same. He removed his black coat,and his rapier using his menus and now wore a grey shirt along with black pants. "After you then,Lynn."He said,standing behind her and tried to be polite to her. He walked along with her towards the gate,looking around from time to time "Nothing much Lynn,just walking in the plains or just killing some boars. Life of a solo player,thats all..I dont think many people understand me so i almost always tend to be uh, alone"He sighed a bit and continued walking "Lets get going,dont want to kill the mood."Kimihito said quietly.

@Lynn
