"yeah.. It's really good... Almost like real food" She smiled a bit as she settled into the swing of the group. Maybe with them this game could almost be fun...

"Yeah, why don't we just finish the chicken and get these rooms rented?" Pebbley began to eat again.

"I imagine our bodies have been moved to hospital beds, so I'm sure they can keep us alive long enough for us to get outta this death trap." Vindle said.

((Seriously? JUST SPOIL THE SUPRISE!)))

"Yeah, now lets get those rooms." Pebbley finished the chicken and stood up.

"Yup!" Zillah said and stood up, as she already paid for their meals. She walked over to the counter with the others. Her stomach now full (Well, feeling full anyway). She walked over to the counter and turned to Hikari, "I think between both of us we can afford a room for two, is that alright with you?"

"sure! But... can I ask a question..?" Hikari asked looking down. "would they just look us all up and take us or... Are they depending on others to report that we are in the game....?"

"Right," Yukimura nodded in affirmative, side of his lips perking up just a tiny bit, "best be getting to the level grinding and all." The white-haired young man drew his sword. It wasn't anything flashy really, just beginner equipment. However he knew enough Sword Skills to make it work for him. At least until he'd get better equips on higher floors. On the other hand, armor could wait. He put all his points into the 'not getting hit' and the 'killing before you're killed' stats, so new armor was the lowest on his priority list. Besides, his penchant for light armor meant that the armor he got wouldn't protect him all that well anyway. Speaking of armor, the hood on his basic gear did a pretty great job at concealing a good amount of his appearance. At least it didn't look like he was a husk, but he wouldn't be getting any modelling gigs any time soon. He'd also have to acquire another hooded equip, now that he thought about it.

Spotting a few enemies in the distance, Yukimura nodded towards them before saying to Lily, "This spot's good. We'll farm mobs until.... Whenever. A couple level ups, maybe. Then we could head into the town proper for a bit of R & R. Maybe then you could go message your pals back at the Town of Beginnings, tell 'em you aren't dead 'n' all. I'm sure they'd love to hear that." That said, he activated his <<Sprint>> skill and got to work.

"Right, I guess i'll get our room then." Pebbely waited a metre away from the two, sort of a line.

"I don't know..." Zillah said as she paid for the room using their combined money. "Is something bothering you?" She asked softly. She looked down at her with concern. "Do you have a family?" She asked. She had Lily, but who knew where she was now. A pang of desire to go with Lily hit her, but she pushed it down. She couldn't abandon these people, they needed her help.

"No I don't... I-I live alone... And i dont have friends in real life... Im so scared..." She trembled a little as she spoke. "what happens if my real body dies...?"

As they got into the field. Lily could spot a few creatures up ahead. They did seem to be strong but wanna know something? So was Lily. Lily smiled at Yukimura. "I will message them when we get back to town. I promise." She said now going to her menu as she would press the button as her rapier was summoned into it's holster.

Lily then would wink at Yukimura as she took out her rapier and using her speed she would run towards a creature as her rapier turned pink and she stabbed it, in the chest destroying it in impact. Lily would now see a creature running towards her and slashes her left arm. "Ah! You stupid dumb ass!" SHe said feeling the incredible pain, yes it was so painful! Now this really felt like real life. They could actually feel pain.

But Lily got pissed off, yes she was mad! She would now dash to the creature who slashed her and she would jump on the air spinning around clockwise as she waved her hand where the Rapier was as she slashed the head of the creature, taking it off and she did the same with about two more creatures. She gained good exp and stood there, she fell on one knee seeing her arm that was slashed. Goodthing, it didnt kill her or anything. And it took her a little of health. "I can do this." All she thought it was about her sister, if she dies here... she would never see her again. Lily would dash backwards going next to Yukimura.

Rath got to a field and seen enemies ahead of him as well as two other players. 'Good to see I'm not the only one using my brain,' thought Rath. Rath started jogging towards the Northeast if the two other players were towards the North of him, so he wouldn't steal any their kills and thus their exp. He stayed close enough so he could help if anything happened. Rath pulled the bandanna around his neck up to cover his mouth and nose. He started attacking enemies, making sure to dodge everything, even if it meant he missed a perfect opportunity to get a kill.

Pebbely sat back and felt sleepy. He needed these rooms now, or he would feel like a hibernating beaver. Pebbely stood up and left the tavern for a second, he admired all of the scenery. He didn't think like this earlier, but he should appreciate the time he will spend here, even if he fails. They would escape to a new world for a long time, where they could be amazing, spontaneous and overall look like something they weren't.

On the other side of the party, the white-haired <<Beta Tester>> was striking down creatures with sufficient application of superior stats and <<Sword Skills>>, almost as if he had done so a million times before. Which wasn't all that false, all things considered. Compared to Yukimura and his buffed SPD and DEX stats, the mobs he was facing off against were practically freakin' turtles. Yeah, it looked like he was in a jam, what with being practically surrounded, but he'd intentionally aggro'd most of the creatures in the vicinity to himself in order to cut them down with extreme prejudice, and collect the EXP for him and his partner. Plus, combined with Lily's level grinding, allowed for even more EXP to go around. As long as he didn't get distracted, he'd be fine.

The young man registered his comrade in arms approaching, back towards him. Evidently she hadn't see "No, wait! I can deal with this!" he called out, cutting down a leaping monster with a <<Vertical>> before transitioning to a <<Slant>> to cut down its ally and clear a path for Lily, because it was evident she wasn't going to stop any time soon.

'Damn,' Yukimura thought, putting an arm in front of Lily protectively, 'Ten to deal with, basically completely surrounded, and carrying a <<Newbie>>' He looked down to Lily's HP bar. Fortunately they hadn't broken 50% of hers... yet. Enough of even 1 damage attacks could kill a player, and these guys definitely did more than 1. Either way, there was no way he'd let anybody die on his watch, not least someone in his party. "...Alright," Yukimura began, sizing up the enemies, "you take the three on your end. I have a higher level and more HP, so I'll take down the rest." He glanced back to the pink-haired girl, "You've got enough HP for that, right? We'll strike on my count."

"1... 2... 3!"

God, there were so much creatures around them. But she was very amazed of how Yukimura fought, she hasn't seen that type of fighting around here. He was confident, strong, and pretty fast. And he seemed like he wasn't as terrified as she was. Lily saw him clearing a path for her and standing infront of her all protectively. It was so ... sweet and gentleman of him, yes she blushed a little staring at him. Why would he do that?

Snapped out of it, Lily got back to her serious face and nodded towards Yukimura. "Alright!" she said concentrating and listened to the counts carefully. '3!'. As soon as she heard it, she did what her party member said, take the ones on her end while he finishes the stronger ones. Lily's rapier turned pink as she used her speed running her weapon through their virtual hearts stabbing them all, as she made it to the other side, no cut or anything. As sparkles sorrounded Lily. "Hahaha." She laughed admiring what she did.

"Wow..." Lily said seeing Yukimura fighting. "He is really good....who is this guy?"

"Well, If they're going to take such time, i'll just go and level." Pebbely drew his Rapier and walked off outside the Town Of Beginnings. He trudged around, leaping and slashing at boars. There was no real reason to worry, the boars dissolved in one hit, it's not like he risked his life.

"Oh, I'll go with you!" Kagetane said as he followed Pebbley. Kagetane enjoyed grinding for exp., so without a doubt he knew he'd stay up late at night grinding.

((IPad is at 3% and I'm at a pool I'll probably poof.))

((I'll get in another post.))

"Okay! Go for the boars, you have to kill a few but it's easy." Pebbley said this while slashing a boar in half.
