My eyes can see the death of everything [attr="class","ban01"] [attr="class","ban02"] [attr="class","ban03"] even if that thing is God Elfriede was coming back after a training session in the forest, killing boars. As she strolled towards the inn she was staying at, carrying her large scythe on her back, a shady duo walked towards her. “Heeeey, you're pretty cute!” “Yeah! Little girl carrying this large scythe. What's the term for it? 'kawaii desu?' Hahahaha!” “Say, how about you hang around with us for a bit? Wha ya say?” Heathens, no point in even trying to communicate with them. As Elfriede gave them the cold shoulder, one of them grabbed her by the wrist. “What's up with the cold shoulder?” “Yeah!? We are just trying to be nice to you! We may have to hurt you real bad if you keep this up.” The thug raised his hand and shaped it into a fist in an attempt to scare Elfriede, only it had the opposite effect. So they don't know about the guards? Well then, if I can bait him into attacking me. “Huuuuh!? Why are you similing you little bitch? Do you want me to hurt you? Are you some kind of masochist? I am not afraid to hit a girl you know! In fact, I will do it with this!” The thug then pulled out his sword, waving it in front of Elfriede's face. “You can't use your scythe because it is a two-handed weapon. As long as my friend here is holding on to your wrist, you can't do anything!” Come on, just hit me already. This may hurt but it shouldn't kill me in one hit. Can't say the same for them when they meet the guards though. Elfriede was just waiting for this chance to test out whether or not dead players respawned in the cathedral. It may hurt a bit to get stabbed or cut by the thug's sword, but as long as she rested the wound would heal before tomorrow. She will then be able to test if players really do respawn. Once that information is discovered, everyone will know what risks they can take. If we die permanently then it would be safer to kill nearby boars, rabbits, and slimes. If we respawn, then we start taking more risks. Still I should probably make sure they attack me. Elfriede then began to struggle a bit, pretending to be afraid. It would make her next act of spitting in their faces to not seem like such an obvious ploy. If they knew what she was planning, they would not harm her directly at all. Though it looks like holding or restraining someone isn't considered combat, hopefully. It would suck to find out that there won't be any guards coming. Well these guys seem pretty weak minded. I don't think they are willing to actually murder someone so they will probably try to keep my health in a low state. Still I would prefer to not know what they plan on doing with my body if at all possible. I wonder how hard an unarmed blow hits? “Oh? Does this sword scare you little girl? Hahahahaha! Just do what we say and you won't get hurt.”

HEY HEARTBREAK come on in...

JUST LIL' OL' ME 318 NOPE

It was an average afternoon post catastrophe. The Unfounded Kingdom was as depressing as usual, with players sitting about in their own solitary bubbles. You'd think people would be more lively in such a situation, given they were in the ultimate video game experience. In a positive spin at least. Some people, those with insidious thoughts, were living it up as best they could in this down-trodden world. "What a troupe they are..." Blue looked down at her quarry, spectating the little show going on below. The pinkette was safely perched among the low buildings that surrounded poor Elfrie and the future harassment cases bothering her. Blue was amused at their actions for the most part. One of the few vestiges of ignorance that lived in the broken sprawl of London. She wondered how long it would take them to realize the trouble they were delving into. "Well... I shouldn't keep the poor girl waiting, should I?" As much as Blue enjoyed her bystander role, even she couldn't abide the drawing of blades against a lady with no intention to seek trouble. A flourishing pivot on her wrist and Blue fell from her perch and landed gracefully behind the two thugs of interest. They were lecherous to be sure, trying to do such vulgar acts to a young girl such as that. "My... You two must be desperate to enforce your needs on a random passerby. One so young at that! How the mighty have fallen. Or perhaps you were always like this." Blue's words were sharp, cutting straight at the heart of the matter, and loud enough for everyone nearby to hear. Soon everyone was turning their heads at the two men, and a devious smile spread across Blue's features. There were a few ways this could go, but none of them boded well for these men. Blue gave an understanding wink to Elfriede, signaling her move.

My eyes can see the death of everything [attr="class","ban01"] [attr="class","ban02"] [attr="class","ban03"] even if that thing is God “What do you want you bitch!? Can't you see we're busy!?” the thug yelled at the pink-haired girl as he raised his hand to slap her. Silent Move. However, they didn't realize that Elfriede had broken the other thug's grip on her. Having activated Silent Move, Elfriede's movements were silenced, allowing her to stealthily perform a sleeper choke on the thug threatening the pinkette. “Wha!?” The hug was completely caught off guard and was at Elfriede's mercy. “You bitch!” The second thug yelled as he swung his sword at Elfriede, but she had predicted this, quickly using her hostage as a meat shield. “Gaaah! Bas...tard! What the hell do you think you are doing!” The meat shield yelled at his partner, punching him in the face. Checkmate. “Gah! Hey it is not my fault you let yourself get captured by a little girl!” These guys really are idiots. As Elfriede judged them, the two thugs turned their attention back to the two girls. “We'll settle this later; let's deal with these chicks first.” “Yeah, you got it.” “You hear that girlie? Your attempts at pitting us against each other didn't work so well did it?” Elfriede just stared blankly at them while pointing at a blue light behind them. The two thugs watched in horror as a giant knight appeared from the blue light, wielding an equally gigantic halberd. So the guard NPC's still spawn when players attempt to fight in a protected area. The two thugs, unaware of the nature of the guard, foolishly raised their weapons against it, signaling signs of resistance and immediately giving the guard the authority to use deadly force. Using the situation as a distraction, Elfriede took ahold of the pinkette's hand and dragged her towards the cathedral to see the results. “To... t-t-the ca...the...dral,” Elfriede struggled to say, still not used to speaking. However, she was improving bit by bit. “Test t-t-the... re-spawn.” Neither Elfriede nor the girl that helped her should be targeted by the guard as they did not directly cause any HP damage, thus they were not considered to have partaken in any form of combat. However, Elfriede felt that it was best to not test that theory, and as much fun as it would be to watch a couple idiots get cleaved in two by the guard, it would be best to be there to see if people really do respawn at the cathedral. The two idiots may run off before the result could be confirmed if they do respawn. The screams of the two thugs could be heard as they tried to fight the guard in vain. Their attacks bounced off the guard's massive armor, leaving not even a single scratch. In fact, it looked like their own weapons were being damaged. They did not even have a moment to pray before the guard swung its massive halberd, cleaving the two thugs in one clean slash. Some gold and unequipped items dropped from the two thugs as their bodies burst into lights. “W-w-will t-t-th-ey re-spawn?” Elfriede asked, a bit flustered due to her inability to speak fluently, as she stood outside of the cathedral, still holding onto her aid's hand. As always, there was a doll-like cuteness to how she becomes flustered when speaking.

HEY HEARTBREAK come on in...

ME AND YOU 522 TWO THUGS, ONE GUARD

To say Blue was surprised was a tad bit of an understatement... actually no, that's the proper word. There were far more surprising things out in the world. Still, this was notably more interesting than the pinkette had expected. The two thugs were far too slow for their own good. If they were really going to smack her around, they'd find her hard to hit, and themselves much easier to target. It seemed that the devious bard was beaten to the punch however, as the girl she was looking to save before was striking them in their blind spot rather than running like the Blue had expected. Not Blue's idea of the perfect rescue but it worked. The spectacle before her was by far more amusing than what Blue had in mind. Watching two punks get jerked around by a little girl was far more hilarious than Blue doing the deed herself. She couldn't help but stifle a giggle at the antics, watching the wounded and confused thug A smash his fist into thug B. By that time the two had already sealed their death warrants. Their mistake for picking a fight in the last bastion of hope that was their little big city. The guardian knights rising from the blue fissure in the sky were imposing as the first time Blue laid eyes on them. Though she composed herself quite in contrast to the thugs whom the knights came to pass judgement on. She would have loved to stay and watch but a tugging at her hand diverted her attention towards the girl she had (tried?) to rescue. The girl, in a stutter which made even Blue stagger from the cuteness, reminded her of the Cathedral and the rumors that death merely meant a small trip to the cathedral. Blue paused for a moment, registering that little bit of information before giving an understanding nod and following the girl by the hand to the Cathedral. The sound of arms clashing and fools screaming was pleasant to the ear, although if they really had died, Blue would have to stomach the idea that she had just caused someones death. Not too long along after their escape, Blue and her new companion found themselves before the cathedral, waiting expectantly. Blue held the girls hand in hers, occasionally glancing at her, nothing her doll-like appearance. Blue wasn't sure if it was some odd roleplay or if this girl was naturally the way she was but damn, it did its job. Some time passed, and the two watched the cathedral silently until finally a change occurred. There was a glittering light around the cathedral which seemed to carry the spark of light within, or perhaps the spark was the light itself. Soon, the spark faded away and what was left were two figures, looking dazed and confused. Upon closer inspection, Blue was able to confirm that yes, these were the thugs they sent to their doom. Blue let them walk away unnoticed, having no desire to mess with them further before turning to her companion. "Well! That was quite the stunt there! You okay lass?"
