Oh absolutely. I found learning to read and write it to be something of a nightmare. Nothing quite prepares you for learning something so wholly different from everything that you've been taught before that sometimes it feels like your brain just rejects the knowledge completely. Even now her...

Cleo looked down at her own, very human body. It was easy to see why she hadn't picked whatever the human language was, because that was Common, at least as far as she had been led to believe. The simple fact was that she'd just ended up meeting more Beastfolk, and more Caenis, than any other...

Well I dunno quite how I feel about feats of unmatched accuracy when I'm throwing spears, of all things. Maybe if I was slinging darts or firing bullets, but there's a bit of a limit to how far I can huck these suckers, even shooting them with magic. The air still pushes on them and gravity is...

I'm sure I'll be fine, though thanks for the offer. I've been looking at Caenis language recently and I found this book, so for now I think I'm good with finding books to read. Probably. Maybe. There was always a chance that she would spot a better book and need to go for that. Though it was...

Well, she hadn't quite strained that much, had she? Perhaps it had looked like a lot to the smaller female? Cleo blinked, the offer of a shoulder rub was definitely...awkward...coming from somebody that she'd only just met a few seconds ago, so she shook her head and waved a hand as if trying to...

Well, Cleo wouldn't say that humans were boring, though to be fair she'd only ever been a human and been surrounded by humans, so she wasn't sure if her opinion was a common or popular one. There had been the temptation to make herself a Beastkin, just to see what the sensation of having ears or...

Seeing a cat leap into the woman's lap was something of an odd sight. Definitely domesticated, then. Cats normally weren't quite so eager to greet a total stranger, unless they'd been specifically raised that way. It definitely hammered home how much time and preparation went into a business...

Her eyes scanned the bookshelf as the small Faerin pointed out a book, looking for the green cover that she'd been told about, before her eyes finally settled on it, the sight making her smirk. It was pretty typical for the book that somebody small wanted to be on the highest possible shelf...

Welp, it seemed that her suggestion had been taken, as Cleo immediately swerved right to keep up with the strange woman she was going for dinner with, blinking as they came across a cafe with some kind of cat motif. She blinked again and the cats remained, the agent rubbing at her eyes, before...

Well I mean, I'd say the only use of a closed door is to keep people out, really, so you definitely have a point. I'd hope that nobody is wandering as a 'murderous edgelord' as you put it, considering that behaving in that kind of way can start to set troubling patterns. I do have to wonder...

160 Lion Arms (Squire) -25 HP from Combating It looked her like reunion with @Vina Skysong was going to be cut short by the arrival of threats, as chaos erupted all around them. It occurred to Cleo pretty much instantly that she would be absolutely useless at trying to repair anything or...

The best way to interact with the world? Cleo supposed that Madison had a point there. It would just make things exceptionally more difficult if the AI were against them at every possible opportunity, which they would be if players continued to log in, treat them as if they weren't even people...

Being around the regiment and strict training of the Lion Arms was pretty familiar for Cleo. After all, the police were in and of themselves something of an army, so it made sense that a lot of the training would feel similar, even if she hadn't quite been absolutely demolishing training dummies...

She would let that whole thing go with Mizuki's apology, not wanting to make the beastkin out as the villain of this conversation any more than she herself wanted to be painted as the villain just because she didn't exactly have a positive view of the game. It was better to just let that kind of...

Finding a library in this game had been something of a blessing for the agent, who had been told to expect not to find anything of the sort, since she'd been expecting a very medieval culture. It seemed, though, that knowledge didn't just belong to the wealthy here, as it had in the real middle...

That hurt a little bit, Cleo shuffling her feet at that little remark, coughing lightly. Having it worded like that made her seem like upsetting others was what she wanted, or was what would make her happy. It had her clearing her throat, shaking her head. I mean, I don't want things to just be...

I'm pretty sure things like magic, superhuman physicality, extra senses, forcefields and other such things will do a pretty good job of making sure that guns don't just dominate the setting from here onwards. It's hard to say how things will actually develop, but the developers seem to weirdly...

Well that sounded wholly unpleasant. She was no expert on lovecraftian horror, she'd heard that Lovecraft himself had been a bit of a problematic fellow, but she knew enough basics to have an idea that actually facing something like that probably wasn't the nicest of experienced, or the most...

I have no clue what Titanius is, but judging by the way you're talking about it, I'm guessing it was nothing good or fun. It certainly sounds like an evil monster name from things like video games or comic books, the kind of thing they'd throw on a villain that they've been hyping up for the...

I mean, you have a point, but typically killing basically anything is fairly frowned upon, at least as far as my experience has led me to believe. Killing people is definitely at the top of the bad list, for sure, but some people would argue that the creatures in this game are alive, or that...
