I feel like we would have to ask Greyer about that for at least permission, and there isn't a way to get a hold of them and all.

[snownaxis-deactivated20121128]

so, whats the update from all of you ? is anyone sticking around or is everyone leaving too ?

[trueverity]

Well... we sort of can't continue...

[trueverity]

*sighs* :<

You were so beautiful while you lasted, Naxis.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Is someone around?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

I know, still…you don’t understand how thankful I am.

[trueverity]

Don't thank me yet. I still have probably six or more hours before I get to Koorin, and then I need to get into... Eleida, right?

Tell me where to go.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Is someone around?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

That’s pretty useful to know.  I own you a big one, V.

So, I heard to made it to level 31. Welcome to the thirties, Ver!

[trueverity]

No you don't. Friends don't 'owe' each other things. They do things for each other because they know it'll even out. I don't keep track of this stuff.

Thanks, N. Good to see another day.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Is someone around?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Thank you, Verity. You are a great friend.

Yeah, he was passing by for some reason.

[trueverity]

No problem...

Seriously. Ask and you shall have if it's possible. I like doing things for people who need it.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Is someone around?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

That would be wonderful! I don’t want to be a bother though…

I’m almost healed thanks to Ruin but still..it’lltake me a few days to go on a quest or to large distances.

[trueverity]

I'm your friend. That's what friends do. I'll start off now, and I'll be there as soon as I can.

I'm glad Ruin could be there for you.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Is someone around?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

I need to get to Kooriin and buy more healing potion, seems like I can’t run out of it if I don’t have heal wind as an skill…

[trueverity]

It'll take me a bit to get there. At least a day. But I can get the healing potions for you ASAP if you just say the word.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Is someone around?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Y-yeah. I’m better now.

[trueverity]

Good... I'm sorry I couldn't get to you...

I hate that you can get hurt so easily here. Just... sure you don't need anything?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Is someone around?

[trueverity]

N, are you okay?

[trueverity]

You are now level 31.

Oh my.

[trueverity]

Quiet today, isn't it?

[yo-han-park]

Don’t care either way, to be honest… about anything you just said.

Leave or stay. Be quiet or loud. Smoke or suffer through hell.

Life is a lot simpler that way if you don’t think so much.

That’s why I like my space, quiet, smoke, and rest.

[trueverity]

You... have a unique perspective.

Although I can't tell if you are being passive aggressive, so I'll live you be anyway.

Quest: Raiders of the Lost Caves

[snownaxis-deactivated20121128]

Snow blinked as Verity rejected her offer, mulling over potential reasonings for her action. She decided not to become bristled by the whole thing and merely nodded, watching Verity steady herself on her accord. Snow looked off into the distance, squinting as the sun pierced into her eyes. It was funny how real fake sunshine could feel. 

She didn’t think Verity an idiot at all. On the contrary she found her to be quite…refreshing. Everyone in this game acted so hard, acted as if they had armor made of bones and nothing could hurt them, physical or otherwise— they inflicted all the pain. Snow knew better than to believe — or trust — any of those egomaniacs. Honestly, they were only making fools of themselves, parading around that way. Snow had come to this game as an escape, as ninety percent of the others had. She wondered what an escape was called when it went sour. A trap?

As Verity pointed out an unusual clump of trees Snow squinted, trying to see through spaces in her hair that was whipping all across her face. “It seems like a giant flashing sign,” she said— the trees looked quite odd amongst all the other foliage. “But I suppose subtlety isn’t what this game is about,” she turned to look at Verity with a smile, before nodding in the direction Verity had pointed out. “Let’s give it a look.”

[trueverity]

"All right," Verity said, nodding. "Must be some sort of funny roundabout adventure. I mean, if we can see it, must mean we're high enough levels and all." They made their way through all of the trees and bushes. The realism surprised her when a branch actually whacked her in a face. Doing her best not to grumble, she pushed the offending branch away so it would swing and hit the air instead of the two of them. Good. Awesome. They pushed out of the brush to discover... a cave. Most caves in the real world were too dank, small, and damp to provide much opportunity for adventure. However, when you were in a video game, just about every cave was long and windy. And in a virtual reality deathtrap... It pretty much looked like a not-that-fun deathwish.

"Well, let's go in, then," Verity suggested. "I mean, maybe it's a cool place to hang out. Like remember when you were a little kid, and there was that place you used to go and hide with your friends?" She licked her lips and shrugged a little. "At least... I had one of those... Never mind." Nervously, she started to toy with her hair. That did not really do much to help her cause, but she could not take back words, now, could she? She felt a little dumb all of the time here, but, well... Maybe the cave had something more exciting than the little small alcove that she had thought of. It was sort of implied that they were going on an adventure for experience mores other simple company keeping. That was not something unfamiliar to Verity, since most of her old friends only really wanted to do things wither her if there existed some event or excuse...

[trueverity]

Hullo...

[snownaxis-deactivated20121128]

Wow, a normal day— what does that feel like? We should go drinking!

[trueverity]

Drinking? I mean, I don't usually do that, but I guess so.

You're not planning to get me drunk for reasons, though, are you?

[trueverity]

Quiet today, isn't it?

[yo-han-park]

Whatever you say, dear. As you said, there’s plenty of quiet to go around. Use it to sort out your inner dilemmas, if need be.

As for me…

Another one of these will do.

(OoC: But seriously, nice dramatic, single tear rolling down the face gif. xD)

[trueverity]

Fine. I've had enough quiet. I don't want to be so. But you can have your own space and cigarette. Wonder if it affects your real body.

ooc: DAMN this is what you get when you look at gifs on a dim screen in a dark room.  Ehhh it's Verity, that wouldn't be so out of character... She's mopey.

[trueverity]

Quiet today, isn't it?

[yo-han-park]

I’m pretty sure I should be the one crying right now, dear.

Fulfilling rest is hard to come by these days… if you know mean.

[trueverity]

I'm... not crying. So...

I don't know what you mean. There's a lot of quiet here.

[trueverity]

Quiet today, isn't it?

[yo-han-park]

Not with you around, it seems.

[trueverity]

I'm sorry for intruding upon quiet time?
