One of these Days

[dual_wield_hax]

So I think I just did something incredibly stupid but I was forgiven for it. Lemme recap.

So I saved a young player in the forest from a bunch of Apes a few levels higher than she was. Her name is Silica, and she's a nice girl. Lemme get a picture up of her, I got a screenshot.

Silica Right Here

Cute huh? In any case, I saved her and her pet dragon Pima was killed in battle. So we went to the 45th floor and I helped her get a flower that will revive battle pets within 3 days of their death.

Now the dumb thing about it, is that she was being hunted by a PK guild. I know, horrible isn't it? They were scouting her and lining her up for a kill when I intervened. I sent those scum to jail after stating in no matter of terms that I would kill them all if I wasn't asked to send them to jail by a crystal made from a Guild Leader who's guild was wiped out by these cutthroats.

Thing is, we promised to see each other in the real world. So I guess I got myself a extra goal to reach now.

So yeah, you can tell me it was a dumb idea, killing two birds with one stone metaphorically. What I want to know is was it a really dumb idea to use Silica as bait, or should I have come clean? The letter I got from myself said I should use her as bait and apologize but you know how well that turns out even if she likes me.

I guess she's pretty attached to that monster. What are they like anyway?

[dual_wield_hax]

Pima's a baby dragon. I'm sure it'll get bigger later on, but for now they're at a manageable size.

Silica on the other hand is energetic. She reminds me of you actually.

[kendoleaf]

She does? How so?

[dual_wield_hax]

Well she's sweet, caring, very nice, and basically is determined to get what she needs to get at times. She can be very focused and very brave.

[kendoleaf]

I see.

She looks pretty young. How old is she?

[dual_wield_hax]

She's thirteen I believe. She said she started playing when she was 12, and just recently had a birthday.

I have to give her credit, most kids her age stay on Floor 1 at the Orphanage.

[kendoleaf]

Oh. I didn't realize there were that many kids playing a game like this.

[ She pauses for a moment, before sighing. ]

And it's a good thing that most of them don't go into danger. Not when they can die for real. Did she tell you why she wasn't doing that?

[dual_wield_hax]

She didn't but... I guess she's one of those kids who can't sit still. I guess that's why she started playing after all.

Reminds me of us when we were young.

[kendoleaf]

[ Suguha smiled at that. ]

Yeah, it kinda does.

[ Though she still doesn't know why her brother stopped practicing kendo and went to playing these games instead. Maybe if... maybe if he hadn't done that, he wouldn't be trapped in the game now. ]

[dual_wield_hax]

[Maybe yeah, but it depended on how things turn out in the end.]

But yeah, did you manage to get into the Beta?

[kendoleaf]

I haven't heard yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

[dual_wield_hax]

Hopefully you get in on the first wave of testers.

[kendoleaf]

Yeah, hopefully. The sooner Yurippe and I get one of these, the better.

[dual_wield_hax]

Yeah, and you may find it enjoyable to play games once in a while too.

[kendoleaf]

... Maybe. But let's stay focused on getting all of you out first.

[dual_wield_hax]

Yeah you have a point. Lets hope we get some news soon.

[kendoleaf]

Yeah...

Stay safe, Oniichan. I'll let you know what happens as soon as I hear anything.

[dual_wield_hax]

Thanks. See you soon, Sugu.

[kendoleaf]

Later, Oniichan.
