Devilish Hellflame
Hellflame had made it to the Black Castle and was making his way through it when he heard a string of f-bombs and other angry words originating from somewhere inside. He recognized that voice; it was the same as that Corpse Collector girl he had come across. Whatever had happened, it certainly didn't sound like she was in a good position. Chances were, she had died. Giving another good think about her, he now remembered where he had heard the name before. He had read some news about some Outlaw or something with a huge bounty of making the player who killed her all the way to Level 9. He was outside Deep Ground at the time when he read it, which explained why he didn't recall the information right away. Still, he did wonder about it. If Corpse Collector really did die, then who got the bounty? Hellflame immediately thought about that other girl who was with Corpse Collector, and decided that he wouldn't put it past her to do it. He would have if he had recognized Corpse Collector, and he did hear the word "kitten" among her death throes.
Opening a door ever so slightly and peeking through the crack with one eye, Hellflame found that he was right on the money. There was what was probably the Black King, if he had to judge from the dark clothing, as well as Corpse Collector's companion. No sign of Corpse Collector, which meant that she was really dead. There was another person he didn't recognize, but that was unimportant. What was important, though, was Kitten's speech about taking down the Black King. That little bit of information was quite the catch for Hellflame, and made him greatly interested in the girl. Hellflame then made a mental note of the girl's in game name, Smitten Kitten, and made plans to find her next time.
Zachary Noris
Zachary's alarm rang, and it took him a few halfhearted attempts to finally reach over and shut it off. Getting up and looking at the time for a few seconds, he eventually got up and got ready to go to class. He had woken up a couple hours early, but that was normal for him. If he didn't want up that early, he would never make it to class on time.
Zachary yawned as he slowly walked through the hallway. As he did so, he couldn't help but notice the commotion going on between four punks and a couple of girls. He stopped to stare at the scene for a few seconds, then continued on to move past them. He would much rather prefer to avoid fights and other such conflict, finding them too much time and effort to deal with. As he neared the scene, though, he heard a
meow from underneath him. Looking down, he found that a kitten was sitting nearby, watching the fight unfold. Zachary then knelt down and began to stroke the cat for a moment before attempting to pick it up.
