Elder Tale. (Sanquin / EveIris)

Kali nodded as she tilted her head to the side so she could get a better view of the trail ahead of them. She could feel the wind in through her hair and a part of her loved how fresh it was compared to the air she got at home. She lived in a small cramped up congested area, there was plenty of haze at times too which made the air horrible to breathe. Kali took noticed of the minor differences, as night came the temperature had dropped, some areas appeared to be completely dark and she wondered if they had to bring their own light to see around there. The monsters seemed to be moving around on a different course compared to the one they were during the day, thankfully they didn't' have any trouble dealing with them.

When they reached the city Kali was surprised to see the so many players come up to them. She had assumed they would have adventured out and find their own way, but instead they stayed in town. She couldn't help but frown at the idea, she knew that they were scared, but sitting around and waiting wouldn't do them much either. Glancing over to Alakai she let him do the answering knowing that if she were to answer she would state her disappointment in them and probably remind them that it was best to go and see for themselves. "Rest sounds great to me," she replied knowing that they had been out for quite a bit of time. She turned her head back seeing the crowd disperse once they were far enough from them. Once they reached the inn, Kali got off the mount and made her way into the inn, it was one of her favorite places to actually be (considering that they sol alcohol). Kali couldn't help but chuckle, she remembered spending quite a bit on the alcohol because her character could get drunk, the best part was everything was all fuzzy and strange though she wasn't exactly drunk. Making her way to the counter she had to wonder if they had to actually rent a room and pay for it? Usually inns remained as a save point or an area where things could be sold and repaired since players could log out. "Adventurer! I see you're in need of a room!" The man called out as Kali blinked with surprise. "Yeah two rooms actually, do we have to pay?" she asked, though the man simply laughed. "Indeed that was a good one. Yes payment must occur," he said. Kali was surprised with his emotion as she turned her head back. "Hey, shall we get a room? We can make it cheaper by getting one room with two beds or we could just sit by the bar and drink," she mentioned to Alakai, wanting to leave the decision up to him since she wasn't sure how long they'd be resting for.

Kali wasn't sure why that felt rather exhausting. It wasn't so much of their home distressing her but the people themselves, they were strange to say in the least. They responded but their lack of knowledge over social cues were evident. Of course it didn't seem like such a big deal since players could still interact with players. Making her way out with Alakai she watched him take out his whistle as he blew into it. She couldn't hear anything though, it was probably at a volume she couldn't pick up. Soon a tiger came running towards them though it's roar was enough to get her to back away a bit with surprise. He jumped onto the beast with such ease that she had to wonder if he had already gotten used to it.

Reaching forward she grabbed his hand and pulled herself up onto the mount. "Khronos?" The word meant Time. It was an interesting name to say in the least. "Well I wouldn't be sure about how powerful he is since we can't use him during battle, but he sure is helpful. I can't wait to get mine. I heard you can get a pink ostrich! How cool is that! It'll look adorable," she said with glee though she wasn't sure if she could get it since it was rare. Some mounts were rare and they were given out as quest prizes. She hoped that wasn't the case though. "Oh um where are we headed now? The sun is setting so do we need to find a place to stay? Or should we head out somewhere," strangely she wasn't feeling tired despite their training so that meant they could probably carry on throughout the night.

Kali wasn't really comfortable with letting her wash up alone since it looked like there was quite a bit of a mess, then again cooking good meals usually did leave a mess. Still she allowed the woman to clean up alone since she was rather stern about Kali stepping into the kitchen. She followed Alakai and the husband to their storage room. She was surprised at the amount of crates that were around and conveniently the one he opened had 12 outfits then again it was so that each class got one. If they were to do dungeons they wouldn't be as fortunate to get a piece of the loot as the loot varied from time to time on class. If they were in a large party and more than one person wanted it they would have to roll for it through the system. However she wasn't too worried about that, her subclass was being a tailor so that meant she could make better gear than what the game offered if she leveled it up high. It also granted her the ability to fuse special items or rare artifacts into the material to give additional stat points.

Kali went ahead to dig through the outfits, she lifted up the one for her class noticing how it was a little more modest compared to her current one. It felt light too, though she wondered if she would feel hot in it since it was rather long. Still she took it out and smiled at the man. "Thank you," she replied before opening her inventory. This one increased her mana regeneration by 8% and gave her 2% spell vamp. "We should be on our way though," Kali mentioned softly knowing the sun would be setting soon.

Oh wow, sorry to hear that. I'm glad you're alright though. Could have been way worse. Take your time, there's no rush :)

Kali was growing bored with the waiting, though she could smell the light aroma of food in the air and though it smelled great she feared that it was just her imagination. Soon enough the woman had come out to set the table before rushing back into the kitchen to help out with Alakai. Within a few minutes four bowls were brought out and placed on the table. By then the husband had come down, his hair still a little damp from his shower.

When everyone was seated the woman spoke, immediately thanking the two for saving her husband and for preparing such a wonderful meal. Kali had gone ahead and dug into the meal though her mind was entirely wrapped around the fact that it had tasted way better than anything she had in the real world. She was completely shocked with the taste and though some of the food appeared to look like things she recognized the taste of them was a little different. Glancing up at Alakai she grinned, "You figured it out?" she asked knowing that the last time they had food here it was horrible bland. She was beginning to worry that that would be the only thing they would be able to taste for the rest of their time here.

The couple themselves were impressed with the meal and enjoyed it greatly. "I'll help clean," Kali suggested, it was something she did often at home so it felt a little weird not to offer her help and since Alakai had done all the cooking she figured it was fair for her to clean up. The woman however was frantic with the idea, immediately shaking her head when she heard her words.

Kali was surprised to hear Alakai ask the woman if he could cook in their kitchen, immediately she grew rather excited wondering if he was going to try and make something edible and taste good. Even though it had been a day she felt like it had been ages since she had something nice. She was craving her favorite food, but she didn’t mention it. Since Alakai was still new with his cooking skills she figured it would take a while before he could actually make her favorite food, perhaps one day when his level was high enough she could request. “I’m kind of curious too over what you’ll make but since the kitchen is kind of small I’ll have a seat outside and relax. I am looking forward to it really,” she said happily before turning her attention to the woman. “Do you have anything to drink, I’m a little thirsty,” she said only for the woman to gasp. “Of course, go ahead and sit down and I’ll bring out something for you to drink.” She ushered Kali out of the kitchen to the living room. It was small but it had a table with 4 chairs which was convenient. Taking a seat, she leaned back and let out a heavy breath. She was tired, strange enough. Did they require sleep in this world like they did in the other. The woman explained where all her things were in the kitchen for Alakai in case he wanted to use them. She showed him her spice jars and where her fresh ingredients were kept before stepping back and letting him go on his own. She was curious over to what he would make since it was a first that someone had requested her for her kitchen. “Oh, please do let me know if you require assistance.”

Kali could only smile at the woman, she appeared to be eternally grateful for seeing her husband. It was hard to believe that they were mere computer programs. It got Kali thinking that if they were incapable of waking up from this world was it possible for their own data to be erased? That was a possibility, she hadn't the evidence to back it up but this was programmed by someone. Them being in the game meant that they were now part of a larger collection of data. Her head snapped up with surprise when she heard the woman exclaimed something about adventurers. She was confused for a brief moment having lost track of what the topic was until she explained her excitement. Kali thanked the woman before entering the small but humble home. The ceiling was low and it was a little cramped with the furniture, but she could feel how cosy it was. Glancing back she realized Alakai was still standing at the doorway looking a little awkward. Seeing him like that only brought a soft chuckle from her as she shook her head. "Alakai and I would love to stay for dinner, that is if you wish for us to. We would hate to intrude especially with your husband back," she replied casually only to see the woman flush with slight embarrassment. "Nonsense! You saved his life, making a meal for you is the least of my worries. Dear why don't you go wash up? I'll handle the reward. I've made your favorite," she mentioned. The man nodded before giving the two of them a sheepish smile. They thanked them and made his way upstairs. However Kali had caught onto what the woman had said. It seemed a little odd that she had prepared his favorite meal when she was unaware of him returning. Then again it could have been her overthinking, ever since she had gotten into this world she was overwhelmed by everything. "So what is his favorite?" Kali asked deciding to make small talk. They responded like normal people so she figured she could test this further.
