[PP-F1] First Floor Fun (Lance,Ruri)

[Lance 0]

Lance was walking around Starting City, pondering what his next move would be. Surely, he could go back to smithing again, but diversity is what makes life, or rather, virtual life, worthwhile. Lance looked around the main square to see if anything interesting was going on, but saw nothing much. The large columns and arcs mostly held shadows, rather than people and the big fountain was only surrounded by a few players. A small girl with blueish hair somehow stood out to Lance, as she was frolicking around on the square, the only living thing to somehow show being alive.

Her expression was warm, as she danced around the crowds. She saw someone who wasn't wearing the grayish fashion everyone else had. It was a dark black. She started dancing but started to wonder, as Kanya stood on her shoulder, almost asleep. Ruri had stepped forward as someone had moved between her and this man. She wondered curiously. "Hi. My name is Ruri..." She introduced herself, in a nice fashion.

Lance was a little startled and looked surprised at the girl that spoke to him. "Err.. hey. I'm Lance, nice to meet you." Lance said, as he scratched his head. Lance looked around a bit, not sure what to say. "So, you're stuck in this place as well, huh? Quite a mess we're in..."

"Yeah, I just wanted to see a sneak peak in the world-- and here I am.." She says as she looks down and moves her leg back and forth. The crowd moving away from the two. They were both beside a small fountain... She looked to her right, to find a romantic sunset...

Lance stared silently for a minute, before speaking rather formally: "So... what's your plan for getting out of here? So far I haven't even begun understanding what would be a good path to take." He turned toward the sunset and went silent again, frowning. "Honestly, I'll be happy if I get out alive."

"Well, I plan to stay in lower levels helping lower players level up, once someone completes it, thats how I plan on winning, waiting...." She says as she takes a seat on the fountain- edge. Kanya hopping onto her lap, hopelessly sleepy.

"Yeah...," Lance said as he sat down next to Ruri. "Maybe it's cowardly to wait for the front liners to clear the floors before me, but I'd rather be a living coward than a brave corpse." Lance turned his head towards Ruri. "But I suppose in any case we should try to become stronger, if we ever want to help out the rest."

[Ruri 0]

"Yeah, I always try to gain levels, not too fast but also not too slow." She says as Kanya starts to snore and wiggle around to find a warm spot on her lap. Ruri giggled at Kanya as she was getting tickled by her claws...

Lance looked at the fox-like creature on Ruri's lap and asked: "That's a rather cute animal. Does it fight as well? " Lance rested his head on his hands. "I've never considered getting a familiar myself. Maybe one day..."

[Ruri 0]

"Yeah, Her name is Kanya, she fights fairly well, whenever I fight badly, she always does batter damage." She says as she looks toward Lance. "By the way, i saw your shop, you may want to talk to me about my offer I gave you-- not sure how much money you want for the sword..." She says as she looks over at Lance says in a serious tone.

[Lance 0]

"Yeah... I saw that," Lance sighed. "This is kind of hard for me to say, but I'm not experienced as a blacksmith. I'm not sure I can make the sword you want, even if we get the right resources." He looked towards the horizon again. "But I suppose trying couldn't hurt, if you feel up for it."

[Ruri 0]

"Sure, You can try If you have a certain quest I need to take-- for materials. I don't mind that you're a new blacksmith..." She smiled towards him. In a warm expression.
