Erika blinked awake from the Deep Ground System. One minute she was Azga, the cool Witch Doctor on his way to help take down the Black King with a companion, the next she was back to being herself. She knew she would probably die anyways and would only be a hindrance to the woman she had said she'd help, though she didn't feel like she would in Deep Ground Online. She felt strong and like she could do anything. And here, she was weak and completely ...worthless. Worthless unless she made a name for herself and her family in a system she couldn't access for what would be the rest of the day. She sat up in bed as she wiped her misty eyes dry with a sleeve, pushing her glasses off her face in the process. Now she'd be back to being harassed by all the guilds in real life, and her family. 

Down the hall she could hear her brother running the shower, meaning he hadn't been in DGO for the past while. Good, he wouldn't bother her. She rested her forehead against her knees and waited for the lump in her throat to pass. Once she had finished feeling sorry for herself--something she acknowledged with great spite--she peered at her nightstand where her classic flip phone laid. She exhaled and reached out, grabbing the phone and dialing Yuuki's number. As she punched it in her small phone charm of a magician's hat swayed back and forth. She hit the send call button and pressed the phone to her ear. 

She had to get out of here.
