THE more the female Puppeteer wandered further into the Zone, the more she felt lost and totally out of place for numerous reasons. One, unlike the main first four Zones, it appeared that Zone 8 held only neutral colors with a tint of brown. Her own purple-blue-green-red-white-black-orange-hued outfit instantly pointed a giant metaphorical flashing arrow sign at her, blaring in big letters, “INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT!” And if that wasn’t obvious enough, others could probably immediately tell that she was a human girl, not an Elsen. Maybe next time she should be more prepared and disguise herself before entering a new Zone. Although the notion sounded laughable when she thought over it again.
She shook her head and muttered to herself, “Where’s the save block in here anyways…?” Every Zone had at least a couple of red save points somewhere, but so far, she hadn’t seen a single one. Was there even an exit out of here? It was hard to tell amongst all of the hasty, busy crowds. These Elsen were really into their work today.
Turning on her heel, the small stranger’s eyes grew and incredulously stared up ahead. “H-Huh??”
In the distance, she caught sight of someone approaching her. Was it one of the workers? No…this figure was much too tall and slender. Besides, she sensed a powerful aura coming from this person, which she recognized as a Guardian’s aura.
The confirmed fact didn’t exactly relax her.
But at this point, did she really have a choice? She didn’t know where to go, and plus, she was terribly outnumbered. So the option of fleeing was discarded. She couldn’t even teleport again because it would use up too much Competence. In the end, the best decision for her to make was to stay rooted to the spot and wait.
"…um, hello~" The girl greeted the towering figure with an uneasy smile once they met. "My name’s Celeste. Uh, I-I’m sorry, I’m not here to cause trouble or anythin’. I’m just…I’m a little lost a-and…erm…" Her discomfort was starting to affect her way of speaking and broke her composure slightly.
Puppeteers shouldn’t be intimidated. They should remain calm, cool, collected; assume a confident stance in the face of other characters.
…Yeah, it was easier said than done sometimes.
