Location: Sen Rynta - Tavern Room
There was something wrong, very wrong. Yui has always had this intuition, whether it made or break something, it has gotten her out of situations of bad happenings. The feel of low-grade bedding, the smell of pinewood, the sounds of chattering, and... laughing? Things that do not belong in her household. Yui slid around the bed, feeling the cold timber as she touched the floor, her seemingly pale nightgown flowing just past her rather stocky but well-defined thighs. In a calm and nonchalant manner, she pushed herself out of the springy bed, only to come face-to-face with the small dresser mirror.
It was not her body, yet
it also was. She was aware what this meant. The little plot detail that lead many into a world of fantasy, how very clichéd it was to have happened to Yui herself. Yui clutched her head slightly, feeling the effects of one too many drinks from the night before. It was proof that it was very real, the question is, why? Standing around, merely staring at her reflection, would not bring that answer to her. She'd have to seek it herself. However, Yui would not permit to go out immodestly dressed.
"Equip, paladin."As experimental as it was, it had worked as intended, a flash of white and Yui had been suited to her tank armour, all in glorious blue and valour.
"Inventory." Yui successfully called upon her character storage box, filled with items that she had meticulously gathered during her years playing Emerald Odyssey. Swiping across to her armoury inventory, she spotted her prized shield and lance, her weapons. Yui briefly closed her eyes, reminiscing her time obtaining it, almost permanent damage to her wrists and fingers. Precious memories, but-
Once she reopened her eyes, steeled with strange resolve, Yui waved her HUD away and left the room.

As Yui descended the creaky wooden stairs, the sounds of laughter and shouting progressively got louder. The delicious scent of homecooked food penetrated her nose, cueing the grumbling of her stomach.
"Perhaps I should eat..." she muttered to herself, but a single look at the state of the tavern, and Yui knew she would not be able to eat in peace. Opting instead to go to the street markets, Yui walked up to the reception table to talk to the hostess.
"Why hello! How was your night? Would you like to order something?" exclaimed the hostess in a jolly tone. Yui shook her head, reaching her hand out to place a gold coin on the counter.
"Thank you.", she thanked the staff of the tavern, and turned towards the exit, leaving the tavern just as a brawl exploded.
Clutching several bags full of sweet and savoury goods, Yui felt proud of herself. Her haggling skills in-game was as good as in real life. It was a rather ferocious battle of economy, neither Yui or the merchant ready to back down. Eventually, they'd all give in to her death stare - which is not on purpose, but Yui had no way of knowing. She simply thought that she had driven a hard bargain. She eventually came to the centre of the floating island, the Wellspring Park. A place known for player AFK'ing and some other questionable things. A crowd had placed itself into the middle of the grounds, and curiousity had taken Yui once her newfound sharp hearing picked up on some sort of argument. Drifting towards the edge of the people, Yui could see through the gaps that a heated discussion - well more like bickering, between a Titan and Belva. A huge contrast in size, hell, the Titan could just pick up the potato and-
Yui stopped her thoughts there. They weren't a potato. They were a
player. And acutely aware of the situation. Just like with her very heated bartering with merchants, neither Belva or Titan would back down. It was plainly obvious that they'd settle it with fists. Yui's eyes spied the unconscious man on the ground.
I see.One to never decline or provoke a fight, Yui kept watching on while nibbling on sugar and cheese bread, until she saw pink hair pushing through the crowd. A young Human had appeared between the chaos attempting to defuse the situation. A tense moment passed, before the crowd started to disperse, and eventually the Titan woman left begrudgingly. All those that were left behind were the young Human woman, the Belva male, and the unconscious man.
Baffled, Yui watched as the girl shook the poor man, who was almost frothing at the mouth, until a blue-haired woman entered the picture. Very obviously a servant of the pink-haired Human, especially with
how she introduced her maid to the Belva. Yui could only watch as she witnessed the Belva picking up the man by a leg and drag them towards shade. Finishing off the last part of her food, she followed them to the tree. Her shadow loomed over the trio as she came close, but ignored them until she came to face the unconscious man. Kneeling down, Yui pressed a hand on their temple and began casting,
"Prayer."A twinkle of light shone across the man's face, and he began to relax. It wasn't much, but at least it would alleviate the pain and help him avoid the heavy consequences of a concussion.
"It would have been wise to stay out of a dangerous situation." Standing up again, Yui faced the three of them, pointing her statement directly at the young pink girl. Her face is stoic, but the words come across as a gentle warning, rather than admonishing.
