Chapter 0007

[Party - Kaleseze]: Everything settled over there?

[Party - Sylphie]: More or less

[Party - Leviene]: Sylphie gave Erica the smackdown.

The little Perrian Let wanted to dance, except the other can’t see her smooth moves and Erica is giving her the stink eye. She is smart enough to know the little tiff with Sylphie only cowed her for a bit. They won’t be parting ways anytime soon. She still have to group with Erica.

[Party - Wraith]: You must be happy little sis.

Wraith and Kaleseze knew their sister well enough to guess her though. Kaleseze had a quiet, thoughtful personality. He never mention Leviene’s issues. Wraith, being the older brother, had the older brother privilege of teasing and tormenting his younger siblings.

[Party - Leviene]: She had it coming.

[Party - Kaleseze]: Throw a party later. How is situation over there?

[Party - Sylphie]: There three of us here. Nothing unusual. We haven’t explored the area yet. The city is closed until the introductions are over.

[Party - Kaleseze]: Same on this side. I did do some exploring. It’s like every new beginning area from any game.

[Party - Leviene]: How many laps around the city did you make?

[Party - Kaleseze]: Enough to search every nook and cranny in this city. There are certain areas I don’t have access to.

Everyone in the party was quiet. Kaleseze has a habit of letting his in game character walk in circle around town when he has a problem to think through or when he is stressed. To search through the city, Kaleseze must have search the city several times over. He is more worried about their current predicament than he’s letting on.

[Party - Wraith]: I started spamming everyone once I got out of the cut scene.

[Party - Leviene]: What should be do?

Captain obvious went and asked the crucial question. Leviene have her head in a fog most of the time. She is rarely aware of her surrounding, much to her brother’s worry. Her obliviosness spurred her family to action. At least someone isn’t worried about their current situation.

[Party - Sylphie]: Continue to look around. Trying to find other people we know and form a group as fast a possible. The more people in the group the better. I don’t know if what laws are enforced here. I’d rather not chance a mishap.

[Party - Wraith]: Is it necessary to explore the area since Kaleseze has already done so? I don’t think it will be any different for us.

[Party - Sylphie]: We need to get familiar with our surrounding. I get the feeling we will be coming back here often.

Wraith and Kaleseze understood the unspoken connotation of Sylphie’s words. Leviene need to get familiar with the area or they will spend immeasurable amount of time trying to find a lost child.

[Party - Leviene]: Don’t forget to mark down where the class trainer and the where the profession trainers are located.

[Party - Wraith]: … This isn’t a game.

[Party - Leviene]: The mechanics of this world is like a virtual reality game. Why not treat it like one?

[Party - Wraith]: I get the feeling you don’t want to go back.

[Party - Leviene]: … Something about this world calls to me. Like I am home again. I don’t know how to explain it.

[Party - Sylphie]: Try.

The group was perturb about Leviene’s attitude. Most gamers spend so much time playing their game, they won’t mind living the game. Being in this world is like a dream come true for hardcore players.

Leviene was never one of the player escaping reality through virtual reality. She got into gaming to accompany a physical impaired Sylphie. Laurie always dreamed of being a nurse. She was focus in her pursuit of her nursing degree. Thus her cavalier attitude towards their presence in this world bothered her family.

[Party - Leviene]: Back on Earth, life felt like I’m watching a good movie. The movie is the life I am living and the emotions is real, but there was always something missing.

Leviene stumbled, trying to explain an emotion.

[Party - Leviene]: Oh I know. It feels like I am the main character in a romantic drama, but the main lead can not show up because I was born in the wrong time. The time disconsance is fixed in this world. Like the script is back on track.

[Party - Kaleseze]: …

[Party - Sylphie]: ...

[Party - Wraith]: All that just because you want to get laid with Mr. Right!!!!

[Party - Leviene]: F**** You!

[Party - Wraith]: You can get laid back home.

[Party - Leviene]: God dammit. How many times do I have to tell you, it’s not about sex.

[Party - Wraith]: So speak the oxymoron horny virgin.

[Party - Leviene]: I had sex before.

Leviene lied. She never had sex before. There was never a man… worthy enough… no, alluring enough… no, right enough to tempt her. She never click with anyone around her.

[Party - Wraith]: Pfft.

[Party - Leviene]: Wtf.

[Party - Wraith]: Nothing.

[Party - Leviene]: Seriously, what?

[Party - Kaleseze]: We’re concern about you. I can see myself living here comfortably. Even Wraith and Sylphie, I can see assimilating to this world before you. You knew what you wanted in life and work hard towards your passion. It’s weird to see you not fighting tooth and nail to accomplish your dream.

Wraith thanked the heavens Kaleseze cut in. Sylphie will neuter him if he told Leviene Sylphie will know when Leviene did the deed because she had a 24 hour protection/surveillance around her.

He was initially against the subterfuge, citing an invasion of privacy, however given Leviene’s dazed personality and her propensity for getting lost, Wraith’s objection was overruled.

[Party - Leviene]: Meh.

[Party - Sylphie]: Okay. Kaleseze and Wraith, drop group and continue exploring your area. Keep an eye out for people we know. I’m more concerned about the people than the environment.

[Party - Kaleseze]: Okay

[Party - Wraith]: Got it.

[Party - Leviene]: Hmph.

Kaleseze has left the group.

Wraith has left the group.
