Sideslash! Let's not rob our friend here of the opportunity to express his generosity!
Lily: Yeah, I like money!
-Also, I hardly have a dime! All of my money goes to paying your insane prices!

@Nimda

I care for my other customers and won’t allow you to abuse their generosity!
*points at Lily*
Shush!
*my eye twitches and I slowly turn back to Gio*
Insane? What’s insane is the discounts I give you for your current place!

*Stares at the minimap with a confused expression*
Looks like we might not be able to avoid a confrontation.

@System

I’m sure it’s better than dealing with waves of viruses.
*continues moving at a faster pace*

*Salutes with my good arm*
See you soon!

@Techspert

*Looks forward to the path I’m headed toward and braces for landing*

@Ignacious

You're bleeding me dry, here! And all your missions either pay nothing or you put up there just to get us killed.

@Spiritblitz

I sure hope so. If they're also friendly, maybe we aren't alone in this place after all. In a good way.

@GalaxyRaider

*The fist smashes into the path, digging a deep crater into the digital dirt within sight of a towering black gate in the distance*

@Techspert

*Leaps from it just before impact, landing, sliding, and rolling a great ways uncontrollably along the path before stopping and slowly getting up, rolling my shoulders*
Oww…

No! Don’t fall for these idiots!

This one has a lot of money, he’s just a stingy crab!

@Nimda

Ahahaha! Well, I don't mind either way. People used to say I was a bit too nice to people, but I don't think that's a problem most of the time.

*I give a small bag of gold and gems*

@Vacare

Lily: *Stares at the gems*
Aaaaahhhhhh...
-*Takes the bag*
Sideslash: *Snatches the bag of gems, tosses it into the air, and throws a dagger, pinning it to the quest board*
If you wanna exchange cash, put up a quest.

@Techspert

*Taps my feet against the ground, causing it to light up, then starts on a brisk run down the path, which lights up every time my feet hit the ground*

@GalaxyRaider

*The massive gate looms before you, stretching several stories into the sky—a lock icon on the entrance is broken and the gate is ajar, a plaque reading "You have scaled a web of lies and stand at the curtain of ignorance. Would you like to log in? (y/n)"*

*Taps the “y”*

@Nimda

*I put a hand to my chin and think for a moment*

Hmmm... Well if that's the case, hows about we go hunting? Theres a big monster in the woods nearby the village I reside at. A bear warped by dark elvish magic. We neighbor an elvish kingdom that's recently come out of its civil war. So you'd actually be helping me, the villagers, and the elves. There's bound to be a hefty reward.

@GalaxyRaider

*The gate creaks open just further enough to squeeze through, and the text engraved in the plaque changes to “And you will know the truth.”*
...Isaac.
*Stands at the other end of a room boundless to your left and right, the way you came invisible from the other side of the gate, and I smile with sadness shining through my eyes, which pulse with a soft red light*
That’s not a face I thought I would see today.

@Vacare

What’s the danger level on this one? Magic can make some twisted creatures sometimes.

Melody?
*Looks around me to take in the features of the room*
So you are okay.

@Nimda

Well, you know how some druids can sometimes summon the spirit of creatures and enhance themselves? Imagine taking a bear's spirit and using it to turn it into a monster. Dark druids are twisted in a whole 'nother way. I've seen it a few times and have been to its territory. This thing breaks big trees like twigs and leaves behind this weird toxic residue that affects one's aura. It's like it drains the life out of you.

@System

Well, let’s get out of here then. I hate the constant reminder of death looming over me.

@GalaxyRaider

*The room contains a grid of short pillars extending infinitely in either direction, and the air feels as cold as a snowy day*
Okay?
*Grips the sides of the podium and looks down, as if I were staring at something far below it*
...No, that’s not true. If you’re here, Rhythm must not be far behind. You both need to leave this place.
