As he embraced her, she nuzzled softly into his neck. Part of her wondered what it’d be like if they ever did escape this place, but she also knew and understood why he didn’t want to escape. He could walk, fight. Of course, she was sure he was capable even without movement in his legs – but it did not good unless he believed that as well.

“You think they’d have designed this game to eagerly take in ‘new peasants’ since they’re the ones forcing them here,” she huffed. “Yeah. Guinea pigs don’t get a lot of support, do they?”

Sir Eoin breathed in the scent of Lily as she pushed to his neck. She was always pleasant to his senses. He missed her, there was no mistaking. His love hadn’t waned, but there wasn’t time for such things with the droves of new gamers. Sir Eoin reluctantly pulled himself back from the embrace. His hands didn’t leave her sides immediately as they stood there, making eyes at each other.

“You would think,” Sir Eoin agreed with a chuckle as he smiled at Lily. “I would house them in the castle, but I think that might be disastrous. Remember how eager we were when we started?”

Then, as if on cue, Gabriel huffed and yawned at Sir Eoin’s side, which made him break eye contact with Lily and look down to his faithful dog. “Well, are you feeling ignored?” Sir Eoin asked with a chuckle. He looked to Lily and gave her a facetious pout. “He says that you’re beautiful. A dog knows better than I do.”

HOW DID THEY END UP IN OASIS

Charles went through a lot before he became Sir Eoin Caster. First, he graduated from his military school with honors. Charles went on to get a computer engineering degree at a prestigious University while simultaneously going through flight school and Royal Air Force officer training. After graduating from University, he hit the ground running and worked his way up the ranks to be Flight Lieutenant and was eyeing a promotion to Squadron Leader when the unthinkable happened. He was shot down during a mission to Israel and woke up weeks later after being put in a coma not to disturb the healing of his injuries.

Charles was paralyzed from the waist down, and in a way, he knew his injuries ruined his life, but he grinned through it the best he could. He always put on a brave face for his parents and therapists. In reality, he was depressed.

However, by chance, Charles got a message from an old schoolmate who invited him to the Artificial Intelligence graduate program at another prestigious university. Charles jumped into it, and barely two years later, he was graduated with specific research in game design, his old love. He got a job at Redrum Gaming, and he was a bit of celebrity around the halls with a multitude of accolades to his name. Mostly, it embarrassed the humble man as he worked on other projects but always longed to be on The Oasis, to see if it would let him walk again. When the company email went out for Beta Tester volunteers, Charles dove at the chance and didn’t think it through. He just wanted his legs back.

archangelwarden​:

Lilian gave Eoin a look when he called her handsome. While she adored the other, sometimes she wondered if he’d forgotten what time period he was actually from. Approaching him, the warden squeezed his face playfully. “Eoin. Handsome? We’re from the 25th century. Not…whatever time period this is set in. Beautiful is still much more apt a compliment than handsome for a lady, especially one of my caliber,” she teased before releasing him.

“Either way, I wouldn’t say we’ve been separated so long. I’ve simply been in Ludus a bit, trying to help the poor people who have been sucked into this place,” she sighed. While she quite enjoyed Oasis, she was well aware of what it felt like to panic upon the realization you didn’t even get the choice to leave. “I wonder when the stream of new players will end.”

Sir Eoin knew that look. The one where Lily was telling him he was a dunderhead but she loved him, and as soon as she touched his face, he was taken back. Back to the early days when they would lay together in any bed or private space in the woods they could find. He would tell her about living without the use of his legs and she wouldn’t coddle him, but she did turn into the love of his life in the game, which made him soft. Lily had influenced him greatly, which was why he’d follow her anywhere, even if they were no longer lovers.

Smiling, Sir Eoin embraced her as she spoke of Ludus and the new players. “I’ve been spending time in Therevell, trying to convince our NPC King to allow the ‘new peasants’ to enter his kingdom.” Rolling his eyes, Sir Eoin continued, “And I just came back here to check on my own plots and see our stores. I want to know what we have to spare to feed and clothe the new ones. Something better than what we were provided with when we first spawned.”

deathstopped​:

Asha was used to watching the sunrise. It was one of those painstaking things that reminded her of life outside of this place, yet she was happy to great it everyday. Therevell, in her opinion, had the best sunrise, but nothing beat watching the sun set in Crow’s Creek. Today, however, she’d been in Infinity to drop something off to Maximus and the best place to watch the sun rise on this stupid planet was out in Ghost Orchid with the rich folk – which she technically was, but her house was barren and the fields were much prettier.

It was easy for the thief to get around the castle grounds, even easier to do it unseen. Her favoured perch was out of the way just enough that she didn’t feel the need to worry about looters. Although, she did snag a few berries – so maybe she was the looter after all. It was Gabriel who caught her attention first, which meant Eoin couldn’t be far off. Careful to not squish her berries Asha descended from her perch to make her way over to the knight. 

“Handsome?” Tossing a berry into her mouth she arched a brow. “Can’t say I’ve ever been called that.”

Sir Eoin flushed when Asha said she’d never been called “handsome.” He shook his head and ducked his gaze momentarily. “My apologies,” he said in his ever-thick Englishman accent. “I’ve spent too much time in Therevell.” He looked back up to her and stepped closer. “You are as beautiful as ever,” he corrected himself. “Certainly the nicest person to look upon, here,” he said softer, not wanting his workers to overhear his affections being spoken out loud.

As Gabriel came to his side and stood, waiting for his master’s command, Sir Eoin saw the berries in Asha’s hand, but didn’t ask her about them, knowing she would either lie or just tell him that she took them, and they both knew he wouldn’t do anything.  “How are you? And your brother?” the knight asked. “I haven’t seen much of either of you, which is a pity.”

Time: Sunrise

Status: Open to All

“Ah, the sun will be beautiful today, won’t she?” Sir Eoin asked his faithful friend and dog, Gabriel, who just huffed at him and made the knight chuckle. He was out of his armor, for once, and enjoying the feeling on just having his simple, yet fine clothing and boots on his skin as they walked alongside the crops outside the castle walls. Of course, he had his sword, ever present on his hip, as they made their way past the corn and potato plants and the men and ladies protecting or tending the fenced-in crops. They were the livelihood of his people, after all.

When he heard someone approaching from behind him, he turned slowly to look over his shoulder. “I haven’t seen you in a while,” Sir Eoin said before turning to truly greet the other. “Look at you, handsome as ever. How are you faring?”
