Private A Tap on the Head

[Essence]

"Careful over there, Panna Cotta. Save some of that enthusiasm for when we leave."
(Essence turned on her heel, scowling, until noticing @Fiora Di Angelo's playful demeanor, which had her smiling back)
Sorry! But things are way too exciting right now for me to sit down. Maybe I can share a little with you...
Uh, I'm Essence. What's your name? I'm heading over to the MIT group in a sec. Or, I was, until you tapped me. Now I'm here. Standing. (awkward chuckle). But it's okay! I like talking.

 

[Fiora Di Angelo]

(Fiora scratched her chin, a grin forming seconds after)
Aaah but you see, that's what I planned. It's my secret power: I tap people, they stop what they doing to have a chat. Name's Fiora, by the way. (She teased, sharing a chuckle in an attempt to ease her a bit)

Say, It's kinda noisy around here, and I got this umbrella for the rain- (She gestured at the arcane umbrella on her right hand she totally did not just create)- Care to go outside? This place stinks of sweat anyways.

@Essence

 

[Essence]

Share an umbrella? With you? (she scoffed and rolled her eyes, before smirking) Yeah, let's get outta here. Only if you hold it, though. I finally found someone taller than me and I may not get another chance to be the one not holding the umbrella.

You said Fiora, right? Cute. (she looks around, holds a hand out to catch some rain in her palm before pulling back) What group are you joining? I'm in MIT. Kind of into the nerdy stuff. I can't tell with you, though.

@Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Fiora Di Angelo]

Yeah, with me. (She pursed her lips, playing along with an 'offended' look that beamed back to a smirk as Essence did)
Well there's this beastfolk chick that's even taller than me. Can totally ask her if you need another umbrella holder- I'm the number one for that, though. (She snickered)

Essence's not a bad name either. Makes me wish I picked something more fictional too. (She shrugged, switching her umbrella to her opposite hand just to give a little extra for Essence to take shelter on) I'll take that as a compliment, most here either look like nerds or meatheads. I'm going with the Adventurers. Lion's arms sounded like a bunch of hero wannabes...

On another note, the road here sure was bumpy though (Comment flinged to the air, Fiora did her best to keep the 'mess' from the campment away from their sightseeing while under the rain) How did you do? Got out there to shoot some lightning and curses while we were under attack? Didn't know cute witch was a mastery one could pick. (She teased, a grin plastered on her lips)

@Essence

 

[Essence]

Yeah, I'll stay with you. Bet she would be jealous though. Of you! (she looks away, stumbling over her words) Not of me.

Also, Lion's Arms sounds like... like the arms of a lion. Which is a weird image. I think the name needs revamping. Maybe it is for the best you're going with the Adventurers.

Oh- (Essence jumped, shocked by the word 'cute', quickly settling, as if she wasn't, and began playing with her hair). Actually, I was in the front uh - how do I explain this? (she waved a hand in the air, in thought, snapping when she formed an idea). I was trying to move around the Earth, so our path would be smoother for the wagons and the horses. It worked though so I guess I wasn't trying. I actually did it. (She finally looked back at Fiora, and smirked). The cute is actually a passive skill. You should know that.
What about you?

What about you, though? What were you doing?

@Fiora Di Angelo

 

[Fiora Di Angelo]

Jealous of both. Deal? Else, I'll just say she is jealous of you~ (She said, with a cheeky look all over her face)

Jackpot. Lion arms. Still, silly name aside, they look too much like the white knights around here, and that ain't my sort of deal. I'm not uptight in real life, why would I be it in a videogame? Guess some people really get in character around here.

(Fiora gave her an all-knowing smile at that little jump she did, settling with playing along before she could embarass her any further) Would you look at you, a hero through and through. But hey, you did more than I did (She remarked, a bit bitter about it, blinking twice once Essence shot a look back at her) Tsk. D'uh, you didn't have to pick it as a trait girl, all natural just like me. (She flaunted with a hand waving her ponytail with a quick flicker)

Screaming at a bunch of newcomers and getting people to get up their asses. There was this guy with blue hair shooting lightning and screaming. I shutted his ass off and kept screaming louder, people were running aroun' like chickens, someone had to step in to be the boss ya' know?
