The approach of a large dog, the size of a bear, took Cleo off guard, though when it began to actually lead her to the person that she had intended to see, she figured out quickly that this thing, somehow, was somebody's trained pet. How on earth this person had managed to get a pet this size...

Cleo shuddered at that. It was a dangerous mentality, for people to tell themselves that they had second chances. It was a slippery slope as most people tended to be unable to apply any kind of consequence to themselves if they knew that they would have a second chance afterwards. It had her...

I'm pretty sure I have the idea of what they'd do to me. Probably cook me alive and eat me or something like that. I'm not too afraid of it when the same might happen to you if I leave you behind and things go wrong. Also, again, there was the whole issue of Cleo not exactly being a fast runner...

It was hard to know if she had made the right choice or not, but it had, all the same, been an important reminder to keep her attention at least partially focused towards how much energy she had left to spare for things like maintaining a buff. Plus, it might have been more effective to flicker...

160 Lion Arms Member (Squire) Red Fever (5) Red Fever effects temporarily nullified +40 HP from natural recovery +10 HP from Serenity Mist The rush of her heightened emotions fading down to regular levels as they were sprayed down with whatever concoction the people at MIT had cooked up made...

Tracking down the UI locked players was a pretty difficult task. Some had changed their names, or been driven into being reclusive, or just weren't interested in seeing the people that they'd said goodbye to. Meeting with Hanno had been a major help, though she was still trying to mark off some...

I wonder what that kind of thing is like for the Landers? Like, how do they explain things just appearing in their world that haven't ever been seen or heard of before? It made Cleo wonder if the 'gods' of this world were just the developers, using the guise of being deities to interact with...

Cleo frowned. She couldn't help it. Even if she knew that Mizuki was better suited to being surrounded and still fighting, it rubbed her the wrong way to even think about leaving an ally behind to deal with something themselves. The distaste at the thought probably shwoed on her face, though it...

She'd not heard of any kind of special wolves before, but it was nice to know that Fina was a lot more informed than she herself was. Visiting local libraries was a smart thing to do, heck, she'd done so herself, though her studies had been focused on the languages that were present in the game...

And suddenly, one of her hands was clasped and she was being dragged away by the catgirl, who was surprisingly strong, likely because she had taken Crush Weapons as a Mastery, which apparently included a passive increase to the user's raw physical strength. Maybe beastfolk were more athletic and...

The girl had a point. There weren't any other quests, especially not easier ones. She could definitely understand the desperation to get stronger after that whole mess with the Red Fever, even if a lot of that had been down to circumstances that strength and power wouldn't have really saved them...

No arguments here. Even if I'd rather not shoot any guns in a fantasy game, I can at least appreciate how they make you stand out. I certainly won't forget you, not after you gave such a spectacular showing. Though she herself didn't really have a unique niche, she wasn't really trying to stand...

Ah, so that was where she'd gone wrong with this whole thing. Most people flickered their buffs on and off when they needed it to conserve energy, but she'd kept hers going the entire time, without even giving a second thought to how much energy she was burning through by doing that. Seeing...

She had been prepared to walk away and leave things there, not negative or positive, but firmly in the neutral camp, but seeing the girl take the sheet of paper and clutch it to her chest was definitely bizarre. She turned, looking at Fina, who seemed to be firmly rooted in place and unable to...

She certainly hadn't expected such an animated response to her simply speaking at a regular volume, but well she supposed that she should have expected that kind of energy after their last interaction with one another. The panic was another story though. She didn't think she was that scary, even...

Well that was definitely a pointed worldview, though it was, sadly, far from being inaccurate. That was how war tended to be in the real world. Though it was definitely interesting that somebody who held that kind of worldview would be drawn to guns inside of a game. Madison was a little bit of...

Hopefully he was happy with this. There was always the worry that she wasn't doing things that people could actually learn from, but she figured that not every enemy or threat would be throwing powerful haymakers, so it was probably important for Hanno to learn how to defend and protect against...

She'd been able to spot that air of frustration from nearly a mile away. Not quite literally, but when she had been coming up to check on a board for any quests or news reports of monsters or something like that, she had quite easily spotted Fina, the girl stood in front of the board talking to...

Cleo frowned. Well, there was definitely a story behind that response, though it was pretty obviously way too personal for her to go digging into it. She wasn't a therapist, so if somebody hadn't liked their own body enough to feel strange about seeing somebody not change it, she was far from...

If Madison was on a glass of water, then she'd either hit her limit or was planning on doing things afterwards that didn't mix well with being drunk. Personally, Cleo would have preferred to not have somebody that was armed with a bunch of guns get absolutely plastered. Alcohol and ammunition...
