[PP-F1] Everything looked so real

[Litsy 0]

 Litsy was sitting on the floor, seeing the flower and wondering how they might be beautiful if they were not real. She liked their color and their fragrance. Every minute she was there, she was more and more surprise, it looked so real. Her hands supported the floor, being able to feel the heat of it. While she was here, she could feel calm like if she was on the real life. However, she knew it was not that and in this moment was difficult return home. She did not think about her parents and if they would miss her. 

 Suddenly, she stood up and looked around carefully, studying each of the components of the city. If she was not wrong, she should be in Horunka. It was a village, located northwest of Starting City. She did not know anything about it. For the reason, she was sure this day, she would keep studying it and knowing what it might offer her. In first time, she needed new clothes; she looked so bad in this moment. She wore a nice white dress, but it was not enough if she wanted to start an adventure. 

 She verified the virtual currencies that she had in her favor and began touring the city. Everything looked so real.

**This continues off [SP-F1] Journey of the Outcast **

Outlander woke up the next morning, "Less then two miles and I get payed." Outlander went back into the tavern looking for adventurers to bring with him on his journey, unfortunately, most of the people in the inn the previous day were gone. Outlander now annoyed by everyones lack of cooperation. Stormed out of the tavern and started heading down the road. "I bet everyone had crappy gear anyway." He mumbled. "Useful for nothing but Canon fodder." Outlander was afraid he'd run into something like the previous day, so he looked up to avoid tree branches. Instead, what he saw was a young girl staring at a rose bush, and the proceeded to touch one of the rose pettles. Outlander was now curious, wondering what she was doing. He observed for a while then realized she was in awe of the way the world looked, how it seems so life like, so, real. 

Outlander approached the girl and stated "Impressive isn't it?" While staring at the rose bush. She looked over at him. "How this virtual world seems so, realistic." Outlander looked at the girl. "Even the people look so real." Outlander looked back at the rose bush. "By the way, I'm Outlander." He stated clearly. He then paused for a second and looked back at the girl. "And you are?"

Litsy was sure that around that place there was no person. However, she had been wrong. A voice behind her caused him to turn around suddenly to answer the question of who the voice was coming from.

At first she thought it could be her imagination. A hallucination to be in that world too long; but it was not like that. Behind her was who could be a player or resident of the virtual world. Anyway, she thought it could be just another player, maybe he looked like he was.

- Hello - said Litsy. - The question is who are you.

 She believed that it was necessary to know first the name of who asked the first question. On the other hand, he worried about behaving badly. Since she had always been a girl with good manners. The presence of a stranger in the place changed her attitude.

[Outlander 0]

"Who am I?" Outlander stated "I'm Outlander, the Last Outcast." He paused " If you're wanting to know my real name,  I'm afraid that's classified for moral reasons. " Outlander looked sad for a second, but then snaped out of it "You still didn't answer my question from before." Outlander paused and looked up at the girl "Who are you? Also, how did you get here in that dress, ive got to say, thats d**m impressive if you won a fight in that thing." He paused again "Excuse my Language."

Once she knew the name of the person she had in front she decided to reveal his username. On the other hand, she had not had enough information to know what kind of character he was, he could be a player or a resident of the virtual world. She decided not to give importance to that.

- I am Litsy - she said looking at him fixedly. - Nice to meet you.

Suddenly, a current of air began to ruffle her skin and that moment she remembered that she should buy new clothes. For that reason, she then expressed the following words. She thought he could know where to buy. On the other hand, once she got an answer she would know what kind of character he was.

- Do you know where I can get clothes? It is very cold here.

[Outlander 0]

"No, I recently arived from the Town of new beginnings, im looking for a nearby dungeon, someone has be-" He stoped. Outlander remember that he needed backup to go into the dungeon. After all, he thought, I almost got myself on the way here by a single forest crawler. Im definitely gonna need backup "I remembeed, I'm looking for someone that can help me, save someone from a dungeon. If you help me I will pay for your clothes and one almost anything as long as I don't go bankrupt, interested?" Outlander looked curiously at the girl.

She had not paid attention to the language the person she had just met had used. She was busy trying to avoid feeling cold. The words she expressed made her realize that he was a personality more like her. However, I did not want to continue investigating its provenance.

 She felt very cold. On the other hand, when he asked about the strategies she had used to get to the place with that dress. she did not answer. It was at that moment when she realized that she did not remember anything about what had happened previously or what skills she had at his disposal. She would find out.

- Yes, I will help you - said Litsy.

It was an excellent opportunity to know her skills and what she was capable of doing. Maybe that was the reason why she forgot the cool weather that afternoon. She looked around and realized that it was getting dark. Maybe it was a perfect moment to go to the dungeon that his new friend spoke.

- Where is that place?

[Outlander 0]

After they got Armor and Weapons for Litsy (P.S. These are you starting equipment!) The began to venture just northeast of the village. After 10 minutes of walking, he halted and looked into the night sky. 

"We stop here for tonight..." Outlander said sleepily 

"Can't risk being clumsy in there."

Litsy looked at Outlander "I understand, but where do we sleep?"

Outlander opened his menu and select an item, went to the side of the road, and placed a tent.

"Fortunately for you, I brought two sleeping bags." He said

Litsy looked at the tent and noticed its size could fit  three people.

"Well, I'm going to bed" Outlander said "Take turns?" 

Litsy didn't understand the question

"I mean as a lookout, ya know? Taking turns sleeping and watching."

Litsy nodded 

"Good night, see you at one in the morning." Outlander stated

[Litsy 0]

Once Litsy agreed to help Outlander, they set off on a journey northwest of the city. Theoretically, in that place would be the person he wanted to help out. She wondered what could have happened to him to get stuck in that place, but at the same time she did not want to ask many questions.

She was grateful for the equipment that he had given her for accepting to help him. After that, she began to think if she also had equipment inside her inventory, anyway, she would verify it when she was alone. She did not want Outlander to know she did not remember how he had come to that place.

When the darkness had taken over the place, they stopped to rest. She could see that he had enough equipment to undertake the adventure. She saw it well. When it was her turn to rest she did it cautiously. The sounds of the place did not let her sleep and for that reason, she decided to leave the tent quickly.

- I think it's time - said Litsy, not knowing what time it was. - The person we are looking for may not have much time.

[Outlander 0]

When Outlander awoke he checked the time 1:30 am. She must have fallen asleep outside he thought. "Hey, Litsy, did you for get to wake me up as lookout?" He opened the tent, and Litsy was no where to be found.  "Litsy?" Outlander said cautiously "Where are you?" Outlander heard a twig snap. Outlander faced the direction of the sound and drew his sword. "Litsy, this isn't funny, is this really how you treat the person the just gave you fr-" A loud snap sound interupted his rant. "Can't see a d**m thing." He whispered. He pick up a torch and through it into the darkness." In the dark he saw two inky black figures burst away from the torch. "Oh, no." Outlander became serious "Night Hunters..."

Outlander booked it toward the general direction of the dungeon. Abandon his tent and fire, but brought a torch from the camp.

This torch won't last long. He thought. There is either two scenerios of what happened, either A, Litsy was mauled and killed by those things, or B, she ran towards the nearest structure unknowingly is safehaven. Please be B. 

After 3 minutes of running the dungeon came into veiw, carved into the side of a mountain, 2 massive pillars holding up a section and a massive ramp leding up to a collosal double door. He looked behind him, still hearing footsteps and snapping. Please don't be too late.

Litsy just wanted to know what it was that was happening. She did not remember if she had already faced something similar before, anyway, she was terrified. It did not seem a nightmare since two shadows came out of the darkness and took her with them. It was terrible, no doubt.

She hoped Outlander was safe and did not run the same risk as her. She closed her eyes wanting to get to the place where they would leave her, if she had that luck. She hoped those hunters would let her go soon, so she would have time to attack them. On the other hand, he still did not know the skills that she had. She kept screaming, at least until they reached their destination, the dungeon. There the darkness took over everything. She was unable to see anything beyond six feet from her.

However, once the subjects released her, she was able to separate from them, but it was impossible, they were holding her tightly. She tried again and again, until she was able to free herself.

- You will not get away with yours - she said.

They did not seem normal people. Its aspects were terrifying. She decided to see the equipment she had at her disposal and found a curved sword. She decided to use it.

Outlander kept running, not looking back towards the dungeon, it seemed they feared light. But his tourch was almost out. 

"Is that all you got?" He shouted at the top of his lungs. Eventually those things stopped chasing him. He stoped to listen. Nothing. Its usually quiet. He looked around, he was at the front of the dungeon. He drew his longsword, made a new torch and entered the front it was a dark and long labyrinth of hallways and corridors. With a tint of blue covering everything. He came to a dead end at least four times. Eventually,  he came to a room he walked in and made observations. These observations scared him when in his mind he put it together. "Large Open Room, No Enemies," The color drained from his face "This is a boss room." 

He paused again looking around, "Wheres the boss?" Outlander said shaken "Nothing happening, the door isn't closing. Has it already been defeated?" He asked himself He took note the without the torch he couldn't see 6 feet in front of him. 

Then he heard a scream.

"Litsy!? Is that you!?"

[Litsy 0]

She admired the weapon in her hands. In those moments she no longer felt insecure. It was amazing how that weapon could give her so much security. In those moments she felt capable of defeating those shadows that were around her, but if she had learned anything from virtual games, she had to wait.

 Se had to carefully observe each of the components of the scenario and the possible movements of his opponents. As in a game of chess.

- I am sure that after this you will leave me - Litsy murmured. - You will regret - She said again while holding his gun tightly.

When she felt determined to attack her opponents, a voice a few feet from her made her stop. It was Outlander's voice. She was sure it was his voice. However, she was also sure that those creatures, or that was what they seemed, would attack her without hesitation.

For that reason, she hurried and hit her weapon against one of these. The speed of the others was not enough so he had time to attack one more. But she needed help, it was at that moment that she decided to scream.

- I'm here. Help me.

[Outlander 0]

Outlander ran towards the voice waving his torch above his head. "Litsy! Come towards the light!" He shouted. A muffled "Over here! Help me!" Was all that was he got back. 

After finding her, he saw the two creatures that took her, and Samuel, the one they were looking for. Outlander now slightly relieved that he found Sam and Litsy alive and paniced by the two dark monsters all the same. He charged the monsters and caught them by suprised. Shoving them to the ground suprisingly without hurting either of them. Outlander looked at Samuel and Litsy and said "Follow me."  The two inky creatures looked and Outlander, "What are you waiting for? An Invatation? RUN!"

Outlander and his two followers ran through the labyrinth seeking an exit. "We are almost there, just a little further." He looked back seeing the worried look on Litsy's face and Samuel looked relieved he was being rescued. 

 

"We made it..." Outlander looked out into the morning dawn and turned around to see the creatures standing in the darkness of the labyrinth and hesitant to walk in the light of day. Outlander look toward the group "You guys ok?" He said. Litsy nodded."Well, well, well, if it isn't the last Outcast." Said Samuel smiling. "Good to see you, James." He added. "I told you not to say my name in front of other people." Outlander said itching his hand. "Oh, please, lighten up a little, we both almost died, we can joke about it." Sam continued. "I just saved you, would you just shut up for 5 seconds?!"

"You know eachother?" Said Litsy "Ya ,whats it to you?" Said Sam Outlander's face grew pale."I don"t feel so good..." He spoke softly. He turned his hand over to see a black barb stabbed in the center. He looked back at the dungeon, then collapsed (Just unconscious).

 Litsy was grateful for the unexpected appearance of Outlander, it had taken place once she had finished testing her skills, which had surprised her greatly. She had never used such a weapon in real life or in any other virtual game. Anyway, seeing how those two creatures fell to the ground once she hit her weapon against them, she felt powerful. She would soon improve her skills once she left the dungeon.
 
 His partner's skills were also amazing. She imagined that a great future within the virtual game also awaited her. There was a third person in the place, which she had not seen until her partner noticed it. Once the creatures were knocked down, not finished, they rushed out of the dungeon. For them finding the exit was a complicated job. The dungeon was a maze.

 Litsy was fine. I was not exhausted or worried. She knew that if one of those creatures caught her she could use her skills to defend against them. Therefore, when his partner asked about his condition, he did not have time for her to respond. On the other hand, the presence of that third person called his attention. She wondered who it could be. I had never seen her in that game but it seemed that they knew each other.

She gave a little laugh when she heard their comments and was encouraged to ask if they knew each other. One of the things that had surprised him was that one of them had called the other by his real name. She was struck by this, but before she could ask anything she saw that Outlander was feeling bad. He looked quickly at Sam:

 - Do you know any method of healing? She asked Sam.

However, she began to worry because since she was there she had done nothing to learn the skills that were possibly hidden. Quickly, he opened his menu, but she could not find anything that could be useful for that moment. She looked back at Sam with concern and shook his head. It was embarrased because she wanted to be doctor in real life.

"Don't worry, he'll wake up on his own." said Samuel "But he is useless and defenseless in this state."

"How long will he be unconscious?" said Litsy

"Give or take,  a day or two." responed Sam "Fortunately, I know were he lives."

"You mean, he has a house?" said Litsy curiously.

"Yep, just a little ways from here. I'd  say its about a kilometer away." Sam responded looking over the forest from the platform.

Sam continued "and there has got to be something there that will quicken up the process."

Walking through the woods, Sam and Litsy notice the amount of trees head of them slowly seize. Untill they reached a clearing.

"A small cabin, in the middle of no where?" Sam says "You know, I haven't seen him for a while, well, not sense, the "incident"."

"What is the incident?" Said Sam

"He hasn't told you?" Litsy nods her head no. "Well, that makes sense, if he hasn't told you that his name is James."

"You see, James over there **Sam points at Outlander** once had a best friend,  his name WAS Barrett Jones."

"Was?" Litsy said

"You see, he and the rest of Outlander friends went for a dungeon for a few extra col, ya see, unfortunately Outlander wasn't there. All but one of them died..."

"Where you the last survivor?" Litsy said

Sam looks at Litsy. "Well, look at you, putting together a puzzle. You deserve a metal for figuring that one out."

"How did you escape?" Litsy said

"Umm..." Samuel said with a paniced look on his face "Hey, you know what? I can see the cabin from here! Lets go!" 

After a few more minutes of walking they reached the cabin

"Good Memories" said Sam using Outlander's hand to open the door.

"Welcome, to the House of Outlander. We hope you enjoy your stay."Sam said pretending to be a hotel receptionist.

Litsy would have been more worried if Sam did not say her about Outlander's house. However, she was surprised because it was a little ways from there. She did not know why she did not have a house yet. She should work for getting one. She thought it was amazing to have a profession. She did not know which she would choose. In the real life, she love singing, however, she was not sure if that Litsy was capable of singing. Anyway, she was considered applying for Performer.

 She heard Sam while she was telling her about Outlander's story. It was interesting information. In that moment she know how she could earn col. She could earn extra col in a dungeon. Although it was dangerous, she was interested to earn extra col and to know her skills. When they arrived Outlander's house, she studied the place. It looked nice and clear. She liked it.

 - It is a beautiful house - Litsy said.

 She walked to a window and looked outside. She could see the darkness and she thought to leave house could be dangerous. She was sure they were sure inside the house. She saw Sam again. - Do you think it would be good to leave for help? - She thought they should go out for help from a professional because Outlander might not wake up.

**Everything below is directly from Outlanders Perspective**

(Remember that Outlander was poisoned by the creatures and is unconscious.)

It doesn't seem real, nothing about it, it feels like I'm dead and alive at the same time, wake and asleep. Im in the dark, I can't move, I can speak but no one will hear.  Pitch black, I'm frozen in the dark. Feels like im floating or falling. Feels like, a Nightmare. I can hear it. Voices, whispers, echoes. Some are familiar some aren't.

**Now back to 3rd person**

"Why didn't you save me..."

"B-Barrett?"  Outlander choked on his words "Is that you?" Outlander focus the distance, and noticed a figure approaching him.

"You left me to die."

"No, Barrett. Thats not true. I tried t-"

"How could you let it kill me?" Barretts voice grew unfamiliar 

"I didn't get there fast enough,  I'm sorr-" Outlander started to weep.

"Your sorry? Sorry can't fix me..."

"What do you want from me?" Outlander said wearily "Do you want me to admit what happened to you, Felicity, Hert, Max, and Callo was my fault?! Do you want me to admit the I'm broken!? That I'm worthless?" Outlander started to cry.

"No" Barrett replied "You've said all I wanted to hear..."

"Your not him."

"What?" Barrett looked soullessly at Outlander 

"Your not Barrett, your not him, your not the Barrett I remember."

Outlander cleared his throat as Barrett continued to stare.

Barrett suddenly became uproared with anger. As all the voices started to drown out everything with inaudible screams and yelling.

Out of all of them the first voice he heard sounded like someone saying 'He's seizing up!'

"YOU WORTHLESS **inaudible** USEFUL FOR NOTHING, UNGRATEFUL **inaudible**, I WILL BREAK EVERY BONE I YOUR BODY, AND TAKE **inaudible** SHARDS OUT ONE BY **inaudible** USEING NOTHING BUT MY BARE HANDS!!!" Outlander closed his eyes and started shouting

"Your not him! He would never do this! Fraud!" Outlander shouted this over and over and over untill it stopped. He opened his eyes, he was back in the dark, alone, scared, unstable.

"Someone help me..." Outlander murmured.

 Litsy had studied the room carefully. Of course, it looked nice for her. She wished she had any house in the future. She started to wonder how it would be. She wanted that it was small and cozy like Outlander’s house. She did not stop to see around, the plats, the table, the roof and everything. They had gotten its attention. Maybe it would be an effect of her concern. She could know. When she heard the Outlander’s voice, she turned to him and recovered her conscience. 

 - Maybe, if we go for help – She recommended. 

 It seemed dangerous. She did not want to take a chance. She did not heard the Sam’s voice or maybe she had blocked it. She did know if she had had a good idea. For other hand, she had dropped on a chair. In that moment she had an excellent idea. She took a glass with water and walked toward Outlander. She dropped the water to Outlander’s face. She did not know if that could work. Generally the things disappeared when they fallen. 

 For another hand, she wondered about the Outlander’s history. – You must come round. 
 

[Outlander 0]

Samuel was watching Litsy observe the small cabin, from the stove to the bed Outlander was laying on. Samuel looked back at Outlander.

"Poor guy, who knows what he is going through." Samuel said knowing Litsy was listening.

"The poison that was in that barb, its not normal." Sam continued "I should now, he save me from it before."

"I know the basics of the venom" he said "It tries to psychologically attack you, three times in to days."

Outlanders calm breathing became paniced, both look at him.

"It tries to use your fears, saddness, rage against you." Samuel said

Outlander paniced breathing went back to normal.

"Don't be surprised if you hear him talking in an one-sided conversation. He won't hear you, he would be talking to his inner demons." 

Samuel looked at Litsy

"For all we know, after this poison releases him from this state, he might not be the one we remembered three days ago..." Samuel said "...after all, the worst case scenario is suicide."

Litsy's eyes widened.

**Meanwhile in the mind of the Unconscious Outlander**

"Wonder whats happening out in the real world." Outlander said floating in the abyss "I wonder if anyone actually misses me. If-" 

The loud sound of sword againts sword interupted his train of thought.

Suddenly, he could move, and he was falling. It wasn't but 3 feet from the invisable ground. But Outlander has a tendency to be disaster prone, so of course he landed head first. "Son of a..." Outlanders words were interupted by the clash of swords once again. "Were is that coming from?" Outlander whispered. He turned around, and saw a light. He walked towards it and eventually into it.  

"Whats all this? A dungeon? You let me move just to walk into a dungeon?" Then he started hearing familiar voices.

"Oh, no." Outlander's face grew pale "can't watch this. Not again."
