She wandered about the town that day, listening in on a few conversations and even nabbing a bit to eat. Tessia had to admit she was beginning to adjust to this new lifestyle as it suited her perfectly. With a bevy of hunting that needed to be done, as well as various odd jobs one couldn't be without something to do. Indeed, everyone seemed to move about a little more now, finding purpose in the small things to help improve the community.
Her thoughts idling on what to do, she couldn't help but think of some of her friends that she had known prior to the Apocalypse. One of them being Bunji, a good friend of hers that she had partnered with on one of her favorite online games Dark Souls. Laughing a little, she could only wonder as to how he would be freaking out if he was involved in this as well. Then it struck her, there was noway he wasn't involved it had happened all over the place. Suddenly she was very conscious of every person she walked past, scanning his face to be sure it wasn't him.
Her pace quickening, Tessia began to run about the town, looking for what few things she knew of his appearance, as she had not really met the guy outside of the game world yet. She knew what he would most likely act like, and in turn would most likely be. She headed for the town square were most of the missions were being handed out to the new players. Taking up a simple slime hunting quest, she though she saw a red headed guy in the crowd that resembled some of his previous avatars. She approached calmly and moved around his side to see if it was indeed him.

A sigh would escape from his parted lips as he stood there amongst the crowd of players, his ears could not but twitch catching on to every little word that was spoken all around him, these fox ears of his where very sensitive after all; regardless of that he was able to focus his attention on the quest board that was in front of the crowd. His crimson eyes found themselves scanning over every quest that was still available, some of these were going like hot cakes others...not so much. Either way he planned to get a quest, so he could find something to do these past few days of just slacking off had done him no good, this was still a video game despite his being trapped here along with the rest; he needed to grow stronger. With this harsh reality he found himself scouring the quest board, that is of course until his attention was gripped by something else, it was not until the gentle sway of his tail was interrupted by something that he turned to his right. Those eyes of his now took themselves form the board to settle upon a woman, Bunji blinked a few times staring at the girl who was staring intensely at him, he stood there his eyes looking both ways wondering just what was going on here.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity of awkwardness he would reach up a hand giving the woman a very half assed wave, “Uhm...whats up?” he said to her his eyes trailing up, and down her figure trying to find anything that would maybe jog his memory into who this stranger was. Yet he found nothing on her that struck him as familiar, except for one thing he could not deny was that she was easy on the eyes, especially her eye they were an interesting blue color. “Can I help you with something?” he finally asked, wondering just what was going on here, maybe she would actually talk, and tell him why she was staring at him with those blue orbs of hers. All the while, his mind was trying to put together a possible answer as to why this woman was doing this, maybe he had unintentionally hurt her in the past? Nah, he rarely if ever spoke to anyone in this game!

Realizing she was staring at Bunji, Tessia backed up a little and smiled her wide smile. "Praise the sun, Bro!" is all she said, hoping to jog his memory as she held up her arms in the ever popular pose that Solaire did in the game Dark Souls. Keeping her eyes on him she cant help but grin ear to ear. She just knew it had to be him, from the way he stood to how he was equipped, Tessia had played many rounds with the guy to not know him in a game.
Stepping back a little she also does the "Well, what is it?" pose, almost laughing her butt off in the process and gaining some strange looks from the passerby adventures. "It's good to finally meet you Bro, even if we are stuck in a game. So, What do you say to a little hunt just like we used too?" she is sure to be grinning still like a goof. He was handsome despite her tastes, and a fox tail character it seemed. Wearing the Samurai garb, she nodded it definitely suited him all right.
She awaited patiently for his response though she could see the recollection dawning on him rather fast.

He stared at the woman who said nothing at first, instead she stepped back away from him this caused Bunji to raise a brow in confusion, that is of course until she pulled her next stunt eyes would widen with surprise as the woman hit him with a brick wall. "Wait..." he whispered his eyes narrowing towards the girl, his mind slowly piecing it together, when he saw her make the posse he could not help but allow himself to burst into a full blown laughter, two things had happened at once here. The first he had realized who this was, and second well it was just downright hilarious what she was doing, caring little for the confused eyes that stared at the duo Bunji could not help but approach Tessia, a hand rested on her shoulder giving it a firm squeeze. "Great to see you sis! It's been a while, but it's awesome to bump into a familiar face in this crazy world" he said to her afterwards taking his hand from her shoulder. It was funny, he had actually wondered what players here were old friends of his, Tessia was one of the few he thought of but never sought her out; life had a funny way of making paths cross, but Bunji was glad all the same.
Returning to reality the male would cross his arms over his chest, ignoring the quest board he had so intensely examined before, he now focused on his sister more than happy to accept her offer to hunt together. Who better to go on a mission with than a player he was not only familiar with, but knew he could count on in the heat of battle! Giving his sister a thumbs up he would accompany it with a nod before saying, "Let's go on this hunt then! We are standing around wasting time, let's just charge into battle like in Dark Souls!" he yelled out ready to take off running, but then stopped. A few times his eyes blinked before he turned towards Tessia again, with a rather embarrassing blush over his cheeks he stared at the green eyed girl with his ears folding back a bit, "Uh...where are we going?" he asked her.

"Well, just outside the gate I have a quest that involves slaying 3 dull green slime's. Hopefully we can get them into a wide open area and not draw the aggro of other creatures as we fight." she said as she walked with Bunji towards the gate entrance. "As before, I have taken to the stealth route and can stay quiet and hidden from view." she motioned to the menu to show the telepathic controls to Bunji. "I will use this to let you know I am in position, luckily I do not need to speak to use it. Lets hit em' hard and fast Bro, so we can get you some exp!"
In truth, the quest worried her little as she was teaming up with someone she knew very well. The slime's would prove a small challenge but she was sure the both of them could handle it. As they passed the Gate and moved out onto the well walked path, Tessia's moon marks all over her face and shoulders flickered a little. She nodded to Bunji and slipped into the brush, as silent as a shadow. A moment later she used the telepathic link to him to say, "I will scout ahead though you will be able to move faster then me, if I encounter them first I will let you know Bro.
Best of luck to you!" She giggled silently, she couldn't help tossing that line in there as she felt like it would be fun in this world for once to be with someone you trusted. In a flash, all her giddiness dissipated as she honed in on her surroundings, allowing the sounds, smells, and the faintest rustlings of the brush to fill her senses. Taking her low stance, ax positioned on her back, she eased forward completely silent. She was glad to have put points into the Tracker skill before this, it already felt like she had a easier time moving.

He walked alongside Tessia, his katana snuggled neatly at his waist held in placed by a piece of his cloth armor the male would watch his eyes quietly for a moment as she spoke taking his eyes from her he looked ahead at the cities exit, he could not help but smirk “Sounds like a plan” he said to her as he gripped the sheathe of his sword happily petting it he was confident in his skills. As a gamer he always competed when it came to playing difficult games he never backed away, it was this reason why he felt he would be able to survive in this land despite how harsh it can be, the only thing was that Bunji had a bit of an arrogant side that emerged from within when he had the upper hand in a situation or fight. Despite this, the thoughts were soon pushed away when he heard his companions familiar voice ring into his ears, twitching at the sound of her voice his eyes followed his fox ears by staring at Tessia, stopping his walk he watched her fade into the wilderness around them. The girl now gone from eyesight, swallowed up by the surrounding vegetation then she would speak but instead of his ears reacting to her voice, it was in his mind he could feel her voice echoing in his head this caused Tsurugi to smile a bit; his sister was quite the talented one wasn’t she? Well all the better, she was as kickass as he remembered, this was going to be a walk in the park for the dynamic duo.
Assuming his sister could see him he would nod to signal that he understood, the male moved ahead keeping his pace steady, and his ears open for any incoming sounds of enemies; his eyes even were ready to catch any enemy movement. His left hand remained at his sheathe, his sword already prepared to be drawn out in a moments notice if need be, this excitement of not knowing when the enemy would appear would cause his heart to pick up, and his breathing to quicken; he was not scared, just excited with anticipation.Soon enough his excitement would be rewarded when he came across the slimes, there they were seemingly unaware of his presence he watched their gelatin like bodies jiggle with small ripples spreading throughout their shapelessness. “Piece of cake!” he called out as he ran forward grabbing hold of the hilt, drawing it in a swift motion he covered the distance fast, and brought the sword down with a quick slash the slime seemed to flex, and deform from the forceful pressure of the attack; yet it did not die! Bunji’s eyes widened for a moment, not because the slime did not die but because from the left corner of his eye he could see a green whip coming at him. One of the slimes had attacked him, with a solid strike the slime knocked Bunji back a few steps stumbling back the male would regain his footing, just in time to see the incoming trio.
Taking a stance, a scoff would escape him as he raised his free hand aiming it at the incoming slimes almost instantly his palm would glow with a white coating of energy, taking aim Bunji fired a concentrated beam of white magical energy from his hand towards the slime at the further back part of the group. Hitting the slime head on, his Holy Banishment skill would reduce the slimes aggro for a few seconds, making it perfectly harmless, and a perfect target for Tessia to come down on with a mighty strike. He was aware that his sister might have witnessed his slip up just now, but he was at least trying to make up for it now, with that slime settled he was left to deal with the incoming duet. WC: 662

Silence around her as she crept forward, insuring to remain at least 10 feet from the widely used path Bunji was on. With Accel Dance ready to go, she heard it just before her Bro did, a trio of slime's just ahead bouncing around jovially. Slowing to a stop just within a foot of the brush, Tessia watched her Bro notice them and take action swiftly. She couldn't help but grin in a fond way, it was what he was good at, rushing the foes with little thought of anything else. Now she had to just wait.
Watching him take on the nearest one, and nearly get bopped by the other next to him, Tessia slipped her ax off her back and readied to strike. As her Bro let off his skill that would pacify the slime he already struck, Tessia sees her opportunity and dashes out almost belly to the ground as she rushes forward and behind were Bunji was. Activating Accel Dance, she felt the rush of wind behind her weapon as it struck the damaged slime, causing it to burst into data fragments.
Immediately darting directly behind her Bro and using him for cover, she bolts directly behind him and into the brush. It was going well so far, she had to inform Bunji that she got it. "Bro, first ones down, speeds up and I am behind you." She kept her words short as to not distract her ally as he took on the other two slime's. Her health as a Ritual was much lower than most, she had to consider when to strike and when to flee, a couple good hits would do her in easily. She hoped her friend noticed this as she awaited what he would do next, crouched low in the brush ax at the ready.

As he had hoped Tessia took the chance to strike down the enemy, his eyes were barely able to keep up with her speed as she dove in out of nowhere her mighty axe coming down with a powerful strike; all he could was observe with wide eyes as the girl dashed past him, he felt a sudden rush of wind that blew by him when she ran by. Noticing the words that were echoing in his head he would nod again, knowing his sister was keeping a watchful eye from the shadows of the surrounding forest with that in mind he would focus on the battle at hand. Taking a stance, his gripped his katana with a firm grasp, his eyes focused on the incoming slimes they were together yes, but the space between them gave him an idea; he could strike one down leaving their numbers down to just that one slime. Shifting his footing, Bunji would dash forward using Kabutowari to give a burst of speed to his body movement which allowed him to cover distance between himself, and the slime he had chosen as his mark. Eyes would glue themselves to the slime as he delivered a swift vertical strike, that landed cleanly on the slimes shapeless body thanks to the effect of this technique the slimes full HP would allow for extra damage to be dealt. Shifting his body weight once more, Bunji would take advantage of the extra damage his opening slash had made, then followed up with a quick series of slash that came horizontally one after the other towards the slime; with that it burst into data bits.
With that slime down he focused his crimson eyes on the other slime that was already going aggro on him, fox ears would twitch as he watched the slime come in with a swift attack aiming to slam its body into the red haired male. Luckily for Bunji he was able to move forward avoiding the rather obvious attack that was projected by the slime, turning around he was quick to swing his katana downward at the slime causing some damage to its overall health bar, but nothing major he was afterall still a beginner. After recovering from the attack, the slime would begin to move towards him this was Bunji purposely leading the slime towards him, and keeping its focus on him giving his sister the chance to take the surprise attack if she wanted it.

Watching her Bro fight made her happy. They both seemed at their best when engaging a enemy they could both take on. As Bunji took down the 2nd slime, she almost wanted to warn him about the other getting close. Her fears were for naught as Bunji seemed to lead the slime away so that it now was aggro'ed on him and with its back to her. He even managed to nick it a bit so that her follow up would smash it to pieces.
Wasting no time, she breathed silently and activated Accel Dance, feeling a even faster rush as the very air shimmered around her footing and weapon. The whole forest went into a blur as she burst forward and cleaved the slime into 2 pieces with a mighty hand over hand blow. It's expression unchanging, it almost seemed to have no idea of what transpired as it burst into data fragments as well. Standing from her massive cleave, Tessia grins up at her Bro happily and nods. "That should do it, we should head back and complete the quest. Well done out there Bro!" she offered her fist up to him for their signature bumpish.
She couldn't help but have a wide proud grin on her face as they head back to the town gate. Tessia was sure to send Bunji a friend request, so as to not lose track of one of her best friends.

As he had hoped his sister was already taking the lead by moving in to end the enemy, he watched as the blur of color that was his sister closed the distance between herself, and her mark just as the slime was making its way towards Bunji it would meet its untimely end when a mighty axes blade came down hard on its soft body. With that the enemy would explode into fragments of data, its life now ended by his sisters attack, skillfully sliding his katana into its respective sheathe he would look over at Tessia only to find her holding out her fist. He could not help but smile at her, and his crimson eyes softening, it truly was a good thing he had come across her in this virtual world to be around such a familiar face it would comfort him in these times of uncertainty. With that he happily stepped towards Tessia, raising up his own closed fist, and tapping it against hers, his knuckle temporarily touching hers as he lowered his hand back to his side. The two would begin their journey back to the city so they could turn this mission in for some profit, walking alongside Tessia he would look over at her for a moment then smile before taking his eyes from her, truly it was a good he had managed to come across her these days a friend was needed more than anything.
Once the two returned to town he stepped into the town itself with his sister at his side, “Hey maybe after we turn this mission in we can relax for a bit, and chat some. Catch up for old times sake, it’s really been a while since I talked to you” he would say to the girl with a soft chuckle. With that suggestion put out there, he would venture further into town following Tessia’s lead as he figured she knew where to turn the missions in, for him this had been his first one ever.
