Level 2 Warrior - Rageblade
Rageblade's plans of quickly turning in her quest and visiting the town stores didn't go as planned. It was simple at first given the arrowhead that was slightly infront and above her. Based on how games worked, players just had to follow, and follow Rageblade did. Unfortunately, the spring in her step lost its momentum as she met not the NPC she was looking for, but a crowd. They were players, other NPCs, or a combination of both.
"Yeah, probably both" Rageblade thought as she struggled to get through the people in front of her. If it wasn't hard enough, the fact that she was so small made in difficult to actually see what was going on; honestly, she didn't even know what building she actually went jnto. Her breathing started to become rapid and shallow; Max's anxiety was acting up. This didn't primarily stem from an in-game event, but a pre-existing problem Max was facing.
Max never really had this problem before, but after he quit his job and shutting himself out from the rest of the world, this was practically his reintegration to society; a virtual and mostly artificial society. Nevertheless, it didn't matter to Max and sadly, Rageblade was the one who had to deal with it.
Although dormant, Max was slowly becoming restless, causing Rageblade's HUD to glitch out a bit. She knew this wasn't something that would resolve spontaneously, so she did what Max always did: avoid the triggers.
Leaving the completion of her quest behind for now, Rageblade rushed forward in a blind near-panicked state and only ceased upon crashing through a set of doors. Tumbling forward and finding herself laying on her back, Rageblade had managed to calm herself down. There were still a few people around and it wasn't necessarily quiet, but it was certainly better than a few moments ago.
It only took a few blinks before Rageblade managed to pull out a mini-map in front of her.
"Vendors and merchants, huh?" she whispered to herself in what probably was a pleasant surprise.
Slowly getting back to her feet, Rageblade regained her composure and was back in track.
"Sirs and madams, good day! Anything good for a novice warrior? Whatcha got?"
