Thread: It's not just a game anymore (Eternally Chaotic x Averavic)

Ruby hummed her own tune as she watched the fire. Chuckling a little at her response to it getting chilly. Ruby even before could tell Alexia likely slept outside or in the slums area of the city. Most low level characters did now days. What with everyone trying to adjust to the new world. Alexia's suggestion that they should go see Velera was a good one, she had planned to do that at some point anyways. Yeah, Velera keeps her shop open late anyways though she is likely expecting me. Ruby admitted not really sure if she what to do about Velera though. She felt like she should warn Alexia but how could she do that without Velera getting mad at her? Though that train of thought was shaken from her mind when she was asked about the mess. Mess? Oh! The blood and stuff ya, no. I made a trip the day before yesterday to Tel'bora Jungles and got back today. So I have a lot of stuff I need to unload. I have a habit of killing every enemy I see because Velera told me to in order to gather up as much supplies as I can. I mean I get paid more for the higher level stuff but because I can kill and loot stuff quickly it is still really profitable to kill everything. Besides xp is xp after all, I mean honestly if if people keep farming the low level stuff eventually they will just level up to the point they can one shot the higher level stuff. Thats what people don't seem to get. Even if your afraid of dying fight the weakest monsters you know you can beat and be safe and eventually you will out level the slightly more dangerous stuff and move up in what you can kill. I mean it's a long grind but hey if you are afraid of fighting that is one way to survive. Though I don't get it! Wheres the fun in that! I rather run at the big guys and have a real fight! I mean were in a game like this! Yeah I mean I guess death could be scary but it's exciting! We are able to face giant monsters and go on adventures! We might not get to experience this again so I say live it up take risks! I mean if you die you respawn anyways and if you don't well you can say you truly lived and if you faced down a boss and died well you can say you died facing something truly epic that no one in the real world could say! I want to keep playing! I won't let the inability to log out stop me! I am going to keep pressing forward and find the end of the game! Even though I hope there isn't one! I want to explore this world and all it's wonders! Ya know!? Ruby explained one tactic for people to survive with minimum risk. Though she began to rattle on and her excitement took hold of her. It was clear that Ruby sought adventure and the thrills. If anything she seemed to be the type of innocent wide eyed adventurers from stories. Eager to explore the world, delve into long forgotten halls and explore everything without fear. Though Ruby seemed clearly to understand she could die and death could be permanent at any time but embraced it. To die fighting a boss that could lead to everyone being free or some new adventure. It was all so thrilling to her she couldn't contain her excitement bouncing in her seat with a big grin on her face. Hopping up her excitement for the world renewed, Alright! Lets go see Velera! I am sure she will pay well for the stuff I have! Who knows maybe I will get even more platinum! Ruby said with a grin running back the the bathroom and grabbing her weapon. Extending it to staff form a holster appeared on her back. Latching her scythe's staff onto her back she felt more at ease. She didn't go anywhere without her baby. Heading to the door with a glee she was off! Heading down stairs and out front, she waited for Alexia in front of the inn. Even from here you could see Red hand suppliers from here. Velera was inside likely wondering where Ruby was, as she was usually back by now. Though she was going to try and avoid letting Velera know she killed more player characters. She wasn't too keen on what would happen if she knew.
