Lazy Bones, Rumbling Stomach ( Open, UnCo )

[Ceres]

"...Hungh...Foooooood...", Ceres groaned.

Under the shade of a rather exceptionally large tree somewhere near the edges of Hyde Park, the raven haired woman lied sprawled almost spread eagle. By the look of her appearance she was completely out of energy---and if her moaning and groaning didn't imply anything, the rather amazingly loud rumblings of her stomach most certainly would. The poor thing hadn't eaten in days and from the looks of it...wasn't exactly sure what to do with herself to fix the issue. After all her level was 'One' and ,if appearances meant anything, she was still in starter clothing.

"...Sleeping off hunger didn't work so well it seems...", She murmured to herself distantly.


After speaking she slowly rose her legs and swung them down to build momentum to the core of her body. When the physics kicked in her form swung upright and her body lazily slouched forward. Her long black hair bellowed wildly in the action, but quickly relaxed along her displeased facial features.

"...I guess begging for gold is out.", she murmured," ...I wonder what goblins taste like?" 

[UnCo]

Shuffling through unfamiliar territory, the chubby cat known as UnCo scratched the back of his head as he looked about, his cracked glasses  catching the sunlight at different angles as he did. "Point of reference... need a point of reference.." he muttered. Everything was alien to him, having memorized the area of Akihabara so well that even this simple park was turning him around. Spotting the largest tree in Hyde Park, the feline shaman grinned woothily, his chipped fang bared for all to see before he started making his way towards it. "Now THAT'S more like it!"

Coming up to the tree, UnCo stopped and blinked as he heard a rather loud growl, his nicked ears twitching at the sound before he spotted the wolf-tailed woman at its base muttering about.. goblins? Shrugging, UnCo cleared his throat, announcing his presence before moving closer, not wanting to startle her any. "Hello there, friend! Are you alright?"

"...Eh?", Ceres slowly turned her head at the sound of his voice.

When she saw him she stared at him for a few moments. It was a giant cat. No matter how she looked at it that was all she could confirm. Ever since Elder Tale somehow took over the world...the oddities started piling up on top of one another without failure to top the previous. So admittedly she wasn't entirely all that surprised...She might have been on her first day in this world. She might have been more than surprised...Now? She could only find herself interested.

Disregarding any silent rules of etiquette, she slowly stood to her feet---straight at first. This allowed the cat-man to see the fullest extent of her height. The willowy monk then slowly hobbled her way toward him with movement that could almost be mistaken for slow motion. It probably wasn't until the shadow cast from her form was practically devouring him out right that she bothered to look down directly at him. Her form slouched slightly and her eyes moved to size him up.

" So this is what a cat person would look like in real life...", she mummbled," ...Mind if I touch your fur?"

Without waiting for a reply her hand moved to pat his head. She casually felt about his fur and even gently handled his ears as if to examine their texture. Her eyes began to wander further and as did her hands---though naturally she'd pull back just enough so that she wouldn't begin seriously increasing the severity of this infraction of personal space anymore than she already had been. Instead her next move was to slowly stand straight again while looking down at the guy. Her hand slipped insides of the large sleeves of her karate gi, her arms once again hidden by the shelter of her kimono robe that mantled her shoulders.

"...Really nice quality. Really nice.", She mummbled distantly...

*GROWL*

"...Oh...Right. Hey...Uh...You wouldn't happen to have any food to spare would you?", She'd question.

" Whether or not I'm all right will depend on that, I think."

An awkward smile followed those words.

Shot through the

heart and you're too late

Gabe was.. well part of him was running away. Because this was about, if not THE worst thing to have happened to him. Well it could be worse. Right now, he was stuck inside of a character he only lightly modified; the original avatar was created by his brother, and the irony of ''white heart'' being the name and the character being all in black wasn't lost on Gabriel of course. That didn't matter; he had long black hair that he was half tripping on, and he hilariously put on two shields instead of one. And that was a MAJOR problem because once he realized he was STUCK, that meant waving these differences around would flag Rue's suspicions. And Gabe wasn't ready to confront that part of him just yet.

He was still in ardent denial over his sexuality concerning the male to be fair. The hair was getting him in trouble; getting stuck on things, getting tangled in his feet, and he was starting to go crazy from the mass of it. So he had just picked it up and looped it around his shoulders, like a scarf. And it was STILL ridiculously long. Like jeebus Nate, what the hell were you thinking with hair this long? The little brother sighed in annoyance, knowing he'd have words with his brother when he got out. Yes, when, it was not a question of if, but when. After all, the male had utter confidence that he could win against the system; no system had beat him at a game of wits of course.

The male was still grumbling to himself, when he walked smack dab into a scene similar from a novel he was reading. His eyes blinked, and then a smirk settled on his lips. ''Well if you want nourishment I've got plenty for you.'' the male said, nearly flirtatiously, and with a wink too. The elf let out a laugh then, knowing his pointed ears would show through what he did with his hair. ''But hey, no offense a'ight? I actually do have food, but I have to warn ya.. it's not what you think it is.'' he said, popping a sandwich out of the menu, and throwing it to the girl. He wouldn't be able to tell her that all of the food was tasteless, but he figured she'd learn first hand.

The male took a look at the woman, and realized that she was pretty damn tall; much taller then the 5'8 game avatar he had in either case. It was surprising, but part of him liked the long strands of black hair that she had, and the almost lazy like aura she had? It wasn't anything Gabe was unused to of course, knowing so many different types of people through.. well his fun times. But the male just raised an eyebrow, and smiled back, his red eyes flickering with curiosity. Sure, he had hit on her with a pretty cheesy line, but that was just the type of person Gabe was. ''Oi Cat man, your glasses aren't doing so well.'' he shot, deciding to acknowledge the other person here. Well, okay with his peeks at their status cards, neither was a blacksmith. Which was a bummer, because that would mean that he couldn't get a weapon to face Rue.. but wait, staves and such could be made off wood right?

The male let a smile settle on his lips, as he just played with a strand of his hair, waiting for.. well he wanted to see how they would react to him, to this situation. He was fairly sure he would be amused, right?

[UnCo]

When the wolf-tailed woman stood up, UnCo could only blink in surprise at how tall she actually was. Specifically, how much taller she was than him. While this was not the first time he had come across someone who had decided to be rather generous with the height slider at character creation, he had never had them stand so particularly close to him before. Glancing up to keep his shattered glasses focused on her face, UnCo tried to process her request to touch his fur. In fact, if one paid close attention, they might have seen the smoke coming out of his nicked ears as the gears tried to grind within. Sadly, any and all thought processes, slow as they were, froze as Ceres found his Emergency Shutdown Button.

Little known fact about most animal eared people is that spot behind the ears is quite sensitive. For UnCo, who had only one person do as such to him in real life, the sensation was rather hypnotic. Closing his eyes, the werecat began to emit a very loud purr as his entire world focused on the sensations of the taller woman's hands... at which point she could havegotten away with murder in front of him and he wouldn't had cared at that point in time, so long as she never stopped.

Sadly, all good things come to an end.

Barely able to stop himself from following the hand as it pulled away, UnCo slowly blinked as his brain rebooted and his eyes refocused onto the world around them. Shaking his head, it took a moment for him to process what was being said around him. Someone mentioned food... another voice... and was the sun that low earlier? What was he doing again?

Oh yeah, getting his bearings. And helping someone... or something.

"Food?" Blinking, UnCo watched as the new arrival, the young man with the black hair so ridiculously long he wore it as a scarf, threw the tall wolf-tailed woman with the magic hands something rather edible looking. Shaking his head, UnCo stretched a bit, before sighing, finally clearing the cobwebs from between his nicked ears. "Goodness, that was quite the greeting! Little longer and I might have gone into a happy little coma!" he said with a chuckle. Looking at the two around him, UnCo gave a slow bow, the chain links woven in his shaman robes jingling as he does. "Allow me to introduce myself! Unlucky Coincidence, Shaman, at your service! Since it's a bit of a mouthful, please call me UnCo. In reference to the texture of my fur, I must say that I discovered such myself when I tried to comprehend the transformation that came over me when I got sucked into the game. Considering how much plucking fur out hurts, it didn't take me long to figure out this wasn;t some incredibly lucid fever dream. And as to the state of my glasses... just like everything tlse you see, it's all part of the look. And as to the matter of gold and food..." Glancing around, UnCo scratched the back of his head in confusion. "Since this is all new ground for me, I'm not exactly to sure where anything is. Considering i had to start a brand new toon instead of carrying over one of my mains, I've got next to nothing on me. Even manipulating the UI is a tad annoying, since it doesn't reaklly lend itself to moving about too well. I've mostly been trying to find the central hub of this area in hopes of finding NPCs or even other players so I can get my bearings, perhaps get lucky and find some manner of GM who got sucked in too." 

Shrugging, UnCo sighs and shakes his head. "Sadly, me and directions don't go hand in hand. Considering I know next to nothing about this city, I ended up taking a turn someplace and ended up here. How about you two? What are your names and stories?"

[Ceres]

"...Man cannot live on bread alone...or poorly salted crackers..."

Ceres blinked softly after catching the sandwich. She carefully examined it as if to ask 'what was so odd about it?' with actions alone. After unwrapping it she took a large bite of it....and knew. Her expression twisted into a disgusted frown. However despite her findings, she couldn't just stop---she was starving. Even if the sandwich tasted horrible...worse and worse as she continued to chew...she could not just very well toss it aside. A heavy sigh left her just before she stuffed the entire thing into her mouth just so she could get it over with. Following that her expression became bland and accusatory. The horrible texture, the saltiness that did it no favors, and finally the amazing lack of taste surely did nothing in the ways of satisfaction. She may as well have eaten a dirt sandwich---No! That would have had more flavor!

"...Ugh...What kind of failure of a sandwich tastes like soggy crackers?" she grumbled dejectedly before looking toward the rather odd elf, "I wouldn't let my dog eat whatever that was...Then again I think dog food might have more taste...Auughhh...there's no way that's gonna be enough..."

The unusually tall woman sulked and parked herself on the ground indian style. Her expression fell before finally an irritated sigh followed her actions,"...Eehh...Sorry. I should be grateful. Not like you had to give me anything. Still though...If that's nourishment in this would I'm in for a rough time."

Drawing herself from the experience of 'Fail-sandwich' she turned her attention to the Werecat while idly scratching her head. She'd nearly forgotten she'd randomly approached the guy, the truama had been so great. When she heard him introduce himself she nodded casually and remained quietly in thought for a few moments. Her memory of his fur's texture and reactions to being touched caught her amusement for that spare moment. The guy had even purred---and she might have laughed at that if she hadn't been mentally stricken by the world's greatest disservice to sandwiches ever. Then again...when food came into the picture she just couldn't spare any amount of brain power to react to anything else. Even if that sandwich didn't do much for her it did something, which would at least keep her going for a while longer...

She shifted that thought off to the side.

She sized up the Werecat once more, then did the same for the elf.

"Oh, right...My name's Ceres. I...kind of just woke up somewhere around here and got lost trying to find my way around.", she'd  say," ...Well...I say lost but I've been living here for a while. Its just...London didn't really look like this before..."

A pause followed her words as she thought about all of this. For a while now she'd kind of just accepted that she wasn't in the normal world anymore. She knew she wound up here somehow---but in the frantic desperation of it all...she just couldn't truly add up to how she wound up here in the first place. Her distant expression became intense as she thought about it. Her right hand raised to touch air---which to her caused a menu to appear before her. She'd done this several times before and thus found herself repeating the ritual she'd done since she found out she could do it : She went straight to the log out button and stared at it as if to remind herself that none of this was supposed to be real.

Even so...

Looking back at the other two she smiled awkwardly," Uh...This is still London, right? I mean...I guess I get it. This is without a doubt Elder Tale...but...isn't there a limit to how realistic things are supposed to be in a game?"

Shot through the

heart and you're too late

Right the male had just walked into a weird scene, but he didn't miss a beat. Watching how the Werecat had just melted into the petting, he made a note of it for the future. But Rue wasn't a werecat was he? Naw he was probably something like a Wolf-hair or a Fox-tail. That was more his style, as the male stared at the two. Of course, the male cat was off in his world, when the really tall woman just.. understood. That was the first thing Gabe had tried; he had gotten some food from a People of the Land, and found it had no taste. He'd been more or less avoiding the main areas for people, because he really, really did not want to try and explain to Rue why he had two shields instead of one.

''Hey I warned you.'' said Gabe, stretching his neck as the woman's reaction was somewhat hilarious to him. The male then took out an ingredient, an orange actually, and threw it at her. ''This would be a lot better, ingredients actually have taste. I heard that the chefs were already hard at work to figure out how this food works. There was a rumour that food could be made delicious again.. though I didn't hear how.'' the male said, shrugging. He understood her pain exactly; the first thing the male had wanted was ice cream; and he had gotten it of course, but unfortunately.. it didn't taste like anything! That was something he just.. couldn't.. live.. without.

The male were-cat snapped out of it, thankfully, because Gabe didn't want to have to prod him with a shield or something. The elf just laughed softly at the male's seemingly off-guard reaction, and just waited for him to speak. Nodding thoughtfully, his statement was acknowledge. Okay good, he didn't have to call this guy a neepnut for not acknowledging him. Gabe played with a strand of his hair, listening to the conversation, but relatively blanking out at the same time. He already knew most of this, he'd woken up really fast. He hated lagging behind so when everyone just woke up, which was actually just a little bit ago, like at least a day or two, he had immediately put himself in positions to hear things.

That was hard to do whilst avoiding Rue however, so it had been a bit patchy in some cases. But as the male finished his story, Gabe noted that the woman went next. He didn't even peep or say a word. In fact, let them think. It was a shock to most, but Gabriel.. well let's just say this was not as bad as his actual home life as a child. Once the girl finished, the male gave a sigh, and shook his head. ''Man, you two are like stuck in the back of the shed at this rate.'' he commented. Not necessarily rude, but thinking himself, before a smile popped onto his face, like a beacon of good will or something like that.

''No problem though! Actually, I can say my adventures here are more numerous for one, and secondly they're probably shittier. This isn't even my character, it's my brother's. Long story short I was going to troll the guy, and then I'm stuck in this pretty boy elf thing. My first concern is finding a weapon before the kid that my brother plays with finds me; I don't want to be chucked into a river or off a cliff or something.'' the male said, laughing as if it was a pretty funny situation. In fact, to Gabe, it probably was; getting stuck in a video game world wasn't that bad, it could've been a lot worse.. like he figures that they couldn't revive, and dying was the end of it. Now THAT would suck.

''In any case, I came aware pretty fast; you guys came aware on outskirts or didn't get to town, but lemme tell you, shit went nuts there for the first day. Like I said earlier, food was shitty as neep, but we figured that kind stuff out.. to a point. Almost everyone here is a low level, unless they straight up walked out to go level. Second fact; we can die, and we don't have some manga jerk feels. Basically, we die, we come back like we did in the game; at the cathedral. I was the first one to die actually, isn't that fun? Charged right into a gathering of five to eight mobs and died. But that's the other thing. We still have access to our UI but it's like if we just think about it and act it out, we can do the skills anyways. Seriously, like the game sucked us from real life into itself or something.'' he said, shrugging.

''Oh right, my avatar is named Daenes. Yeah. In either case, you both seem out of it, so I suggest I bring you to town, or something. Almost all of the systems are exactly the same as they were before; and I'm not kidding either. Except quests are almost all vanished, and the NPC's? Living, breathing, people. Not kidding someone smacked one and they started to cry like no tomorrow. And the guards still show up in town and smack us to the cathedral if we attack each other so.'' the male added on, shrugging. He had seen, and even tested some of these personally, because like hell Gabe would be stuck in a world where he didn't understand what was going on. That's why he knew so much, despite it being so early in their confinement. After all, he had to do something to avoid Rue.. and having himself ran through by monsters was a good idea, and by the city guards too. Hey, if Rue thought he was Nathan..

Then Nathan wouldn't pull those kind of stunts at all. And that's what Gabe counted on, as he stared at UnCo and Ceres, itching for ice cream. After all, hanging out with others.. wasn't really a bad thing, now was it?
