A New World [Open]

[Keikat]

Kassandra wandered around the green wastes of London, she seemed to be lost in thoughts for most of it, still trying to understand how she and everyone else got into this world and why she had chosen these class combinations, they made no sense, being a scribe and a courtesan doesn't really work with a guardian, she could have chosen cavalier and blacksmith, but no, for some reason she had chosen scribe and courtesan, which now all seem like a stupid idea. Kassandra ended up walking past what she clearly remembering as being a library, she sighed and kept making her way back. She should probably find someone else to party with and go out of the non safe zone and try to level up, a Guardian alone can only take so much of a beating. Kassandra returned to the populated zones of the city and sat down on a shade, putting her shield by her side and taking a rest, thinking about what to do. She could probably talk to the People of the Land, maybe get some information or some requests, maybe if she managed to get a quest, she could get a group and maybe start from there.
Kassandra started to approach the NPCs, or People of the Land, gathering around the most lively zones of the city.

Vayne was just spending his time lazying about the confines of London. It had not been more than a day since he had woken up in the world of Elder Tale, and he was positively enjoying himself. He found himself finding amusement in watching other people scurry about worried about what's going to happen to them, or how things will be like now that they are trapped in this world. Frankly, Vayne did not care whatsoever if they get back to the real world or not, as long as he can keep enjoying himself like this. He had his back up against the wall of a ruined old building as he watched the people pass by, his puppeteer mimicking him, also leaned against the wall right beside him. It was such a boring day that Vayne just wanted to be lazy and fool around a bit. Seeing a bunch of little kids watching his puppet move around, he smiled and waved his left hand giving the puppet an order. The puppet rattled and creaked mechanically before it hopped toward the children. The puppet's footsteps made loud clanking noises on the cobblestone steps before halting before the children. At first the puppet did nothing but stand in front of the intent looking children, then suddenly, the sound of gears could be heard as the puppet suddenly started to dance. Vayne utterly enjoyed watching the expression of the kids as they laughed and danced with the puppet, all of them twirling around as if they were ballet dancers.

Vayne uttered a sigh as he let the children play with the puppet as he was suddenly lost in thought, contemplating what should be his next action.

Vayne was content with his class as a summoner, which meant that even if he went out to quest alone, he won't lose when it comes to numbers. With a summon he can call forth, as well as his puppet, Vayne can handle one or two field monsters by himself without any problems. Of course, he is still low leveled, so he really needs to make a few friends here and there for party purposes. "Ahh making friends, a challenge that seems to be harder than killing a few monsters." he thought to himself as he made his puppet do a jump around comically for the children.


Vayne had been practicing how to move his puppet, as it seems that with hand gestures, he can give it simple orders, like making it walk, turn and even jump. As he absentmindedly swayed his left hand, the puppet suddenly rushed forward and jumped, bumping into a girl that seemed to be lost in thought.

Vayne walked up to the girl and sheepishly scratched his head. "Uhm, yeah sorry about that, are you okay?" he asked.

The tiny fox-girl had quite a few levels of activty and energy. The fifth level, out of ten, would be what others considered slightly hyperactive. For every stage of activity she went up, the corresponding energy level dropped. Having been busy playing with a ton of new people, bothering as much slime at once as possible, getting used to using her tail for balance, Aka was exhausted. Ears were hanging low, and her tail was barely floating above the ground. Eyes seemed dull and blank, and it was easy to see that she had been busy for the entire day. Moving through London, Aka had created what she called a nest. Having gathered what she could find of soft materials, including pillows, plants and what not, she had drafted it all together in a pile in an abandonned building. It wasn't quite a bed yet, but it was a good enough place to get some rest. For the time being...

On her way there however, her eyes befell another interesting sight, that awakened her curiosity. A creature of some kind had bumped into a girl, and now a man was apologising for the incident. There was no doubt in her mind, this was the first puppeteer she had seen! Darting over, the girl was now seeming like the strangest mix of exhausted and energetic. Not caring about the master at all, Aka would try to poke the puppet, maybe even nudge it a bit harder to figure out what it was created out of. Looking for strings, movements and anything else, she wasn't exactly subtle in the way she approached the issue at hand. "That is soooo cool!" Aka exclaimed, now turning towards the master while smilling widely. Having positioned herself right in the middle off everything, she accidentally whacked against Kassandra with her taill... which was wagging from side to side...  Aka  was getting used to it, but had also gained a few silly habits..


"Uh, oh" She murmured, as she, embarassed like no tomorrow, tugged her own tail and wrapped it around her waist.  

[Warlach]

Warlach strolled through the streets of what seemed to remain of London. Passing by a building of indiscernible nature, he brushed his hand against the plant growth that had overtaken it. The sensation of touch was exactly the same as real life. This was no game anymore, stats and levels aside. Sighing to himself, Warlach continued on, while he opened his status screen. His classes were the same as he had picked, Shaman, with Scribe and Courier as subclasses. But of course, being a healer class meant that soloing would be hard. He had originally intended to find a party of other players and grind a few levels before joining a guild, but now with all the chaos, he wasn't sure what to do. Dismissing his status screen, he saw three people in front of him, a short distance away. A puppet was with them as well, which would mean one of those players had the Puppeteer subclass. Warlach strolled purposefully towards the group, intending to join them in conversation.  "Hey guys, hope I'm not interrupting anything! The name is Warlach. Nice to meet you!" He said with confidence, hoping that they were nice people.

[Keikat]

Gathering information, that was the plan, that was what mattered, that was what Kassandra was going to do, but that was before she was rudely interrupted by a strange being, a puppet, which she didn't notice and quickly a man walked towards her apologizing. Kassandra gave a small smile and was about to answer him back, when she was interrupted again, this time something furry was in her way and rubbing against her face, wagging from side to side, as if sweeping her face. She did heard another voice, saying how something was so cool.
Kassandra woke up from her surprised status, after all two surprises in a row can confuse some people. Kassandra moved from behind the woman and cough before speaking. "It would be nice if I could actually speak without.." Sadly her sentence was interrupted by another person away from the group. He was slowly making his way towards the small group that had gathering on her and seemed to be introducing himself. Kassandra sighed, and took her hand to her face to rub her temples. "Now..is anyone else going to interrupt me again?" She said under her breath, as if waiting for something to happen.

Shiranui woke up with a start. He couldn’t remember how and when he had passed out. His senses were momentarily dulled. At the moment, there was a high-pitched ringing in his ears and his vision was blurry. Slowly, his senses started to balance out. As they did, Shira propped himself up with his hands. The first sense to return was his sense of touch and the information they received was not what he expected. Is this… grass? How did I get outside? Then, his eyes and ears focused the blurry mess into something finer: It was the city of London, overrun with plant growth. ‘That's right,’ thought Shira, ‘I'm in Elder Tale…’ It’s been a full day since the Catastrophe and it’s been quite the experience, adapting to a virtual environment. He ran his hand through his hair to wipe off some grass that had stuck to it. He did so with his tail, as well; another thing he had to get used to.

He stood up and glanced around, seeing that people were already starting to take the initiative and play the game they were forced into. There were already people partying up with each other, possibly planning a run-of-the-mill hunt to grind levels and increase their combat proficiency. But here was Shira, completely the opposite of those people. With their physical forms having the ability to kill things, it was different from the time it was all just a game. His morals wouldn’t have allowed it yet, it was something he’d have to do now that the game had become their world. His morals just have to cope with it for now.

The closest party to his proximity is the one with the tall, redhead who sounded particularly annoyed. Shira was close enough to sufficiently hear the exchange of greetings (or whatever it was for the shorter redhead’s case). It amused him to see how some people lack tact and spoke without forethought. Then again, the redhead already looked particularly disgruntled. Perhaps there was a reason to this? Did they interrupt something important? A quest, maybe? Shira intended to find out.

The fox walked up to the group, but directed his attention to everyone but the redhead, hoping she was too busy being annoyed to notice that she was being subtly asked, as well. “Hello,” said he, “Are you all off to some sort of quest? Or is it going to be just one of those things where we all grind levels for no particular reason other than levelling?”

Vayne let out a sigh of relief as the girl his puppet accidentally bumped into smile up at him. He was relieved that he did no actual harm. Vayne ordered his puppet to move back behind him, which it did, but it started to idly sway and dance on its own. Vayne looked at it with utter irritation before moving his left had, sending it to sit on some boxes on the curb. It would have been really bad if he hurt someone by accident his first day in this world. He smiled back at her and was in the process of offering her hand to help her up when he got distracted by a cute voice saying "That is soooo cool!".

Vayne looked around and saw that the voice came from another ginger. This one was different from the first redhead by the fact that this one had a wagging fox tail swishing behind her. "Someone from the fox tail race." he thought as he gave her a gentlemanly bow in thanks for her complement. In her excitement, the girl accidentally wagged her tail on the other redhead's face. The fox girl blushed timidly as she held her tail in embarrassment. Vayne gave her a smile just to give her a bit of comfort, to elevate her feelings a bit.

He turned his attention back to the first redhead again, but this time another person came prancing in. This time it was a young man who introduced himself as Warlach. "Well hello Warlach. It is a pleasure to meet you." Vayne politely replied just as the redhead sitting on the ground announced her annoyance. He had to grin as she heard her speak out, as he actually understood her feelings. "Being constantly interrupted like that would irritate anyone" he thought as the casually moved a bit farther back from the crowd. Not so much as to be noticeable, but far enough for breathing room. There were suddenly too many people in this small patch of street and he felt a bit stifled.

Vayne did notice a young man watching them from a bit off ways, but he paid no more heed to him for now as he offered his hand to help the annoyed young lady, who was now in a temperament the same shade as her hair. "Well after some distactions, again I have to say again I am terribly sorry to have bumped into you." he said as he held out his hand for her. "My name is Vayne, what might yours be m'lady?"

So many people were gathering at a very rapid pace. Aka was exhausted, and the energetic responses to seeing a real puppet, had just drained the last bit of energy she had. It took almost all of her willpower to remain standing, and without any choice in the matter, she let out a soft yawn, slowly switching from an aware state to one of instincts. Thats when things started to go awry. The tiny fox's ears were redirecting themselves in every which direction to try and catch the sound optimally, making Aka unable to actually focus on anything, nor even fully hear a word that was said. Since this was done entirely automatic and on instinct, because she was too tired to actually pay attention to everything, she was getting frustrated with herself rather quickly. First the tail, now the damn ears! Holding her own ears, she had let go of the tail, which was now dunking against the ground, showing her frustration and tiredness, for those able to translate her bodyy language. The tails movements were frustrating her even further. There was no way about it, Aka was overly tired, beyond anything that could be called reason. As soon as she tried to get the tail under control by grabbing it, her ears started to zone in on whoever said something. Too many people, too tired, too much information, too many people! Everything was spinning in circles, and she wasn't accustomed enough to the game to control all the new features she had been given. At least not while in such a tired state. While on the outside, it may have looked relatively slow, and as if Aka was just testing and playing with her tail and ears, inside she was frustrated beyond belief. Letting out a sharp "Kyaaah!" Aka's eyes dulled, her arms dropped loosely along the sides, the ears tilted inward on themselves, as she swayed from side to side for a brief moment. 

With a low thud, the girl dropped to the ground, breathing softly and silently, as she had just managed to fall asleep while standing.

[Warlach]

Warlach found the group to be rather interesting, with the addition of another adventurer. Guessing their classes by their garb, it was a Guardian and three Mages of some sort, with one of the Mages appearing to be of the Puppeteer subclass. The puppeteer and red-headed Guardian appeared to be of the human race, and the other two Mages seemed to be Fox Tails. Warlach laughed a little and nodded his head towards the Guardian. "Sorry, sorry. Just wanted to meet some other people here. After all, a Shaman like me is useless without a party." He explained. He then placed his hands behind his head and supported his weight with just his left foot, shifting his right a little above the ground, crossing his left leg. This was merely him settling into a regular standing stance of his. Suddenly, the red haired Fox Tail let out a sharp noise and dropped to the ground. Warlach quickly knelt down by her side and shook her gently from side to side. "Hey, hey! Are you okay!?" He said urgently, in a worried tone. He was too worried about the Fox Tail dropping to the ground to realize she had fallen asleep.

Death is only the beginning.

Vayne suddenly felt really tired. The sudden appearance of all these people, crowding around and talking to him is steadily sapping his energy. Vayne wasn't an introverted fool, but he wasn't used to people suddenly appearing around him like a bunch of mushrooms. Vayne sighed for a bit and pulled back from the crowd, as when things get as unusual as what is happening right now, usually it just gets worse.

And just as Vayne was about to pull back and do a 180 degree turn, something DID happen. The fox tail redhead that seemed to be so hyper since the moment she came into the scene, was having some sort of seizure. Vayne wasn't sure if epilepsy existed in this world, but what she was doing is similar to the sickness, or a this was some sort of Paranormal Activity going on. With that Vayne did the only thing that a normal human being, of sound mind and body, would logically do. Vayne breathed in deeply, and said, "Okay, it was nice meeting you guys and all that, but that was just plain weird. Please don't think badly of me." he said as he called back his puppet to his side. "Uhh you guys take care of that little one, she seems to be asleep. I'm gonna head off." he said with a apologetic bow. I hope they don't take it personally, but the events that transpired really confused Vayne, and he already has a lot on his plate without something freaky like that becoming his business.

With that Vayne bowed again at the converging group, as more were pouring in to check on the little girl.

"I bid you all adieu." he said before turning around and walking away, his puppet clanking right behind him.
