Complete Eastern Brisshal Crumbling

[Hanno Futaba]

Hanno simply rose his eyebrow at her words, heavily doubting it.

"I have a gastronomy degree, buddy. Cooking is literally my job." Hanno laughed, pausing for a moment and considering Fiora's words before huffing a chuckle. "Hell. Instant noodles may not exist, but if someone like Kepler, my old friend, has the idea, I'm sure they can make something out with alchemy." It was a guess though, Hanno couldn't know what were the limits that alchemy in this world could give. "For skills... You could say I'm very good at dealing with spirits. I do not just muscle my way through things, I have a lot of magic going on with me." He grinned.

At the way she spoke about the world, Hanno could only sigh and shake his head. Another person like this, he could only hope she wasn't going to do anything stupid with those assumptions-- Which judging by her questions, yes. She was going to do something stupid.

"Do not get near PvP. At least not in the PK aspect." Hanno said, direly serious about it.

"There are controlled tournaments, those I would recommend because they can be fun and it is a nondangerous PvP. Some accidents happen, but people have more than one life... If you only have one life left, then joining any of those is a terrible idea, because accidents can happen." Hanno warned.

The degree talk only got her to roll her eyes, as if he just came up with it like some bragging card to hold out at her. "Oh yeah master chef? Then where's your restaurant so I can go and order some?" She rose an eyebrow, tilted head to add into the questioning. "Though now that you mention it, I did want to pick alchemy at one point. Meh, Instant noodles ain't worth a mastery, guess I'll have to ask your friend to make me some ramen too. I'll even send you a picture, if it works and it doesn't end up a toxic mess." What were the chances? Making some instant noodles, maybe some burgers while at it, in the middle of a fantasy setting. "Oh? Ooooh- And here I started to doubt your puns. Spirit magic sounds fun, but I heard there is a catch with listenin' to spirits or something. Not a fan of jumpscares myself." She admitted, pulling from the collar of her vest as the idea unnerved her. Zombies? Sure. Demons? Bring it on! Ghosts? That's the limit.

"What?" Fiora paid special attention to how he shook off his head almost in pure disappointment, a hand reached to grasp the edge of the table to lean herself forward, aggravated until an answer were given, that only left her with a sour aftertaste. He was deadly serious, and she picked up on that, his warning granted the attention it deserved despite the unwillingness to abide, a sigh following up as pent up tension left her body.

"Well, I wouldn't mind nothing too dangerous. I don't want to kill people for real, just challenge them to a fight. Too much PvE and I'll get sick of it, but with how Terrasphere handles itself I might be judging it too soon." Fiora pushed her mug back against her lips and back down two sips after.

"I think I should log off soon. I can't remember when I started to play even. I bet it's night time already." Concern washed her over, eyes set back on Hanno with mischievousness presented across her features. "Chef, send me a friend request. I dunno how or I would. I rather do it now and not regret it afterwards with how massive this game is, the chances we stumble again are like, one percent." Exaggerations flickered along the conversation, ones she didn't pay much mind to as they were just a manner of speaking

He couldn't quite understand the eye rolling, but he didn't mind about it either, grinning faintly.

"999 Henry St, Brooklyn, New York 11201. My shift there is on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays." Hanno answered genuinely, giving enough time for her to take a mental note of it if she wished. "There ain't any ramen in there, but you would be a special customer, I can pull it out for ya." He winked. Hanno would never call himself a great cook if he didn't manage to make ramen.

"Spirit magic is very useful, yeah. They usually like me, but rogue spirits are hard to interact with." He sighed, then crossed his arms with a nod.

"I mean, challenging someone to fight is just fine. Just gotta be careful with Player Killing, that's all. In Astorea in particular, that will get you some severe punishment." Hanno said, very wary of it.

"If ya need to log off, it is all good. I probably should too." He grinned, tapping into his UI and soon enough-

Notice

Hanno Futaba has sent you a friendship request.

"I like your thought though, always remember to keep in contact... And... Find a way to communicate with them without the UI." Hanno said, pausing for a moment. "You never know when you or them will stop having access to it."

If Fiora was smart enough, she would finally understand why Hanno carried everything with him, instead of using the inventory.

"Okay that's a challenge if I ever heard one." She quickly replied with a defeated huff to add, a quick mental note on the address pinned on the metaphorical fridge inside her mind. "I'll let you know exactly when I'm going. Look for the pink haired customer with a foul-mouth. I'll take whatever your menu's got." She rised up to it with a proud smirk.

His own indulgence on the spiritual world sent a chill down her spine, chilly enough to blast her cocky attitude out of the waters and have her physically react to it. "No ghosts for me. Ever. If you got one around you now don't even tell me about. Hell, lie to me even I don't mind!" She hastely warned.

A proper word of advice in regards to duels and one invitation accepted later, Fiora listened with intent at words so direct and indirect, a mesh that brought seriousness back to the table and had her nod back in response. "I don't agree much with the hero stuff, not gonna lie. But you are a good guy and that's all I care about. If you want to go risk your life for someone else, might aswell join the fun, don't ya agree? That's what a real friendship bond would be about." Admittance followed by a sniff as she gave him a thumbs up. "I'll be seeing you master chef. Try not to get in trouble while I'm gone, yeah? I'll send you a message if I ever find another person stuck in the game, or if I feel like eating some ramen" And with one last wave, she opened her UI menu and the next Hanno knows?

She's gone, dematerialized from this world as she logs off.
