[center][b][i][u]Umichi[/u][/i][/b][/center] "No no, you did great," Umichi retorted a little to Suki's comment. He smiled to her, walking, leading her along. She suddenly brought up the punishment. He looked at her puzzled. She started to laugh a little, mentioning for the punishment to be after the quest. "Um... you know ... I suggested to compete with the quest ... not with the fight just then ...." Umichi hoped he did not confuse or embarrass Suki. Suddenly a message came from Ayame, it read: [quote=Ayame] "That's fair enough, I'd think. Suki too busy to send the message, or did you decide on your own, Former Leader?I kid, of course. By the way, if you two have the time, could you help me out with this project? I'm trying to get a recording of what's happened in the game, and knowing everyone's story would probably make it easy for me to make something cohesive out of this." [/quote] Reading it aloud for Suki to hear, he laughed afterwards. "Former leader, ey? Anyway, I don't mind helping her, do you Suki?" he asked her, starting to type the message. "Hey, I don't mind helping out, as for Suki [ ] I recommend, that if you are trying to get a recording, then you should try talking to others. I can't say our group is very, representative." Once he got Suki's reply, he filled in the blank area. "It seems we are almost there." Umichi said to Suki, without there being more trouble along the way. As they got closer, there was a clearing. There stood a hut made from logs, with trees and a garden around it. In the garden, an old man was digging up the soil. The old man was an NPC by the name of John the Old Man. With a straw hat and a receding hairline, he seemed quite elderly, and had a thin grey beard, but no mustache. The old man sighed, slowly getting up. "Hello there." Umichi greeted the NPC. "Oh ... Why ... hello ... there" John the Old Man replied slowly. "What are you doing at the moment?" "Oh ... Just .... clearing ... the .... weeds ... Actually ... if ... you ... don't ... mind ... could ... you ... help?" A quest box appeared in front of Umichi, alone. It seemed that Suki would need to talk to him to get her own quest going.

Umcihi waited for a reply before he would accept. --- [center][b][i][u]YukiHana[/u][/i][/b][/center] "Switch!?" YukiHana continued to run, confused by the onii-san's words. The Little Nepents were mostly chasing the little girl still, however, four of them had changed target, focusing on the new enemy, the onii-san that had run towards her. The little girl continued to run, trying to run in a circle once. Getting close to one of the Little Nepents approaching the onii-san, she continue to run, poising the dagger to start the pre-motion, activating [b]<>[/b]. Cutting into one of the Little Nepents twice, dealing some good damage. The were almost no post-motion, and she continued to run. She wanted to help kill it, but had lots of difficulty, just running around like she did. "Onii-san-tachi! Tasukate~!" she screamed out again, still approaching the other older men. HanaYuki was losing speed, she had been running as fast as she could for quite a while now. It was difficult for her to start any sort of fighting, with so many chasing after her. She was almost ready to cry out, afraid to be caught by the giant plants, known as Little Nepents, afraid to be killed by them.
