Romulus sat up in his bed. 
"A-are the hostages ok? I walked here from floor 25, and don't know if they made it." He opened his inventory and took out some Beef Jerky. 

A young man in the corner of the room said "You're a frontliner, what are you doing on floor 25?" 

Romulus turned to him and asked "How did you know I was a frontliner?" 

The young man was taken aback. "Y-your armor. That's the armor of a Vanguard. That and your level, I just assumed..." 

Romulus nodded "It's alright. Yes, I am a frontliner. I was on floor 25 because I heard the Darkwaters were holding hostages in their base, so I went to save them." Romulus said swallowing the Beef Jerky. "I don't know if they escaped, or not."

Romulus was alerted to a coughing in the corner of the room. He turned and saw a young woman in a kimono with a cat. 

"Can I help you?" Romulus asked.

Remus's POV:

Remus stood in the busy city. He looked at his paper. 

"The Whitewood Inn." He said to himself. "I'll need to ask someone."
He walked over to an artificier's stall. "Excuse me, do you know where the Whitewood Inn is?"

The artificer laughed and said "Why would you want to go there? It's owned by a sleazy pig who wants nothing but money." 

Remus nodded and showed the man the ad. The man pointed down the street and went back to his forge. Remus was alerted to a sound behind him. 
"Hey! Turn around!" It said. This made Remus nervous because this was how some muggings a began. He drew his sword and turned around. 

"I'm armed." He replied. When he turned around he was greeted by four young players. Everybody's cursors were green except for one who was orange and wore the Darkwater's uniform. Remus slowly began to back away when a girl spoke up. 

"We just wanted to thank you for saving us!" She said. "We were going to be killed." 

Remus laughed. "That was probably my brother. I'm going to meet him. Thank him personally." 

They nodded and followed Remus.
