Can't I have a Dream?

Saorise and Guritchi! The fated duo of a blank avatar and a self aware glitch is ready to begin the newest adventure! Here’s some stoof to get started:

-_. Based around old Pokemon games mixed with Stardew

-_. Saoirse is soft good baby girl <3 a cinnamon roll

-_. Guritchi is a brat. 

-_. Their dynamic is as follows:

S - what do you have?!

G - A KNIFE!

S - NO!! >:0000

-_. Retro except the mun isn’t into retro but it’s for this aesthetic 

-_. Sentience is a blessing and a curse

-_. The spotify playlist is all electronic or existential (a vibe)

"Ever try boba? New place opened up in the mall for it."

"uuh I have not before, no!" She'd certainly see plenty about it on her time in the internet. She didn't really need to eat or drink, but she was surprised to find that this body was able to process it.

Well, they had their quest line at least. The video on the phone cleared up some of the confusion, though none that explained how either Saoirse or Guritchi found themselves outside of their game. Well, perhaps finding their memories would help with that particular process.

It wasn't long while searching in one of the wards that they stumbled upon someone. She had blue hair which automatically made the two believe she might be a player instead of an npc. In this case, it would be easier to communicate to, and find memories.

By now the two had gotten used to the routine. Guritchi would tell Saorise to say something, and Saoirse would repeat it. It was still a little iffy, but it was better than standing blankly while waiting for something to appear.

Distant. Strange. Unknowing. Hardly a thought was passing through her mind as she glanced over the landscape. Her eyes had a glazed look to them; seeing without knowing, though there was certainly some thought somewhere.

Guritcih hummed to itself. It wasn't sure how it had left its game... nor did it remember how it took an avatar with him. It knew this one was supposed to be his, but how it happened? Perhaps... something in this game would reveal the truth.

"Arley?" It asked. "Are... you alright?"

Eyes blinked when it spoke. She nods in affirmation.

"Good... good. Okay. Do you remember what happened?"

She shakes her head.

"Hm. Unfortunate. Well, we'd better get to the bottom of this! Don't want to keep the player waiting after all. For now... let's um... let's just look around, yeah? Get our barring... can you talk?"

"Yes, I can speak." She affirms.

"Oh, perfect." It was relieved. It knew she had dialogue boxes but whether that translated here was different. Considering they might run into people around here, they'd need her to speak for both of them.

Her only mission right now was exploration. That's what she'd been told to do, and was right on task to do just that. This wasn't her game, but the two of them knew that pretty plainly...

Though, truth be told, neither of them knew what they were looking for really. Guritchi was hoping to find answers, but answers... to what? Well, it'd be nice to know how it ended up in the avatar's mind instead of its original form.

Soon enough the pair found someone. He looked a little like Arley's male counterpart, except with pink hair, green eyes, and wasn't in uniform at all. But he looked like he could help them, maybe. He certainly was familiar.

Guritchi told her to approach, which she did. Unfortunately, she didn't know what to say and ended up staring at him for just a little bit too long.

She was waiting for a dialogue box.

Guritchi only realized a little too late what she was doing. After a moment it spoke to her "Arley, um. You... you need to introduce yourself. Ask him if he knows about this game, too."

Heyoooo I know I’m a little late to the stuff, but I’ve finally had an idea for how Saoirse will be participating in the event! I’ve put it own below. If you’re interested, in a starter like this post! I’m capping at 2 to get started. I might make more after my schedule clears up.

⚔️ // it  seemed  sairose  had  asked  the  perfectly  correct  question.  “i’m  basing  it  off  of  the  officer’s  academy  of  my  homeland.  a  place  for  students  to  learn  self  defense  ,  for  the  protection  of  themselves  and  those  around  them.”

            “that  said  ,  whatever  building  is  chosen  for  its  basis  would  have  to  be  big  enough  to  accommodate  as  such.  and  would  require  a  substantial  plot  of  land  ,  to  construct  additions  as  needed.”  there  was  a  slight  pause  as  they  walked  ,  and  byleth  lowered  her  gaze  to  her  feet  as  they  went  on.  hand  lifted  ,  pressing  lithe  fingers  to  her  lips  in  ‘thought’.  “though  ,  i  suppose  unsanctioned  construction  is  considered  illegal…”

         and  sairose  was  now  in  the  know  of  such  scheme.

         byleth  allowed  the  silence  to  linger  for  a  moment  longer  , before  she  turned  her  head  to  her  companion.  lips  stretched  into  a  small  ,  slight  smile.  were  she  more  accustomed  to  modern  expressions  ,   byleth  might  have  even  winked.

           “…  but  i  assure  you  ,  i’ve  paperwork.”

Saoirse nodded her head. Training huh. Well, it sounded a little like a gym space would be suited for that, though she didn’t remember seeing something like that around Cotes. Well, she’s sure they’ll find something that’s fairly close.

For only a minute, she stare at Byleth. Wide-eyed. Unblinking. Did... she just make a joke? From Saoirse jest?

The smile. Ah, the answer to her question.

Saoirse blushed  a little, offering a chuckle in response. “I’m, glad that you do! it would reflect poorly on the guild for two of it’s members to conspire.”

⚔️ // byleth  laced  her  fingers  together  and  held  them  neatly  before  her  waist.  if  she  was  at  all  amused  by  sairose’s  jest  ,  it  wasn’t  obvious.  she  simply  waited  for  the  young  woman  to  finish  her  preparations  ,  and  then  continued  when  given  permission.

        “i’m  searching  for  a  location,”  she  said  simply.  at  first  ,  it  seemed  she  might  just  leave  it  at  that  ,  but  with  a  small  ,  subtle  breath  ,  she  elaborated.  “a  location  for  a  school.  however  ,  i  have  searched  through  fibonacci  ,  archimedes  ,  and  the  golden  wards  already.  none  are  suitable  for  this  school’s  needs.”  her  own  fingers  tightened  ever-so-slightly  blanching  white.  “however  ,  i  live  in  cotes.  i  require  an  outside  opinion.”

“ah, good job! You made it awkward! Typical typical.” Guritchi chimed in. For once they were actually thinking the same thing, though all she could really do was shrug it off. Saoirse at least didn’t want it to remain so, even if she could feel her face gone a little flush.

“A school?” She didn’t really know exactly what she was expecting Byleth to ask her, but this wasn’t in the realm of consideration. “I must admit, I haven’t explored much of Cotes. But with that said, I’m sure having fresh eyes would be good for location scouting.”

Saoirse would follow Byleth’s lead from here. Though she knew the way, she wanted to stay close, otherwise it would defeat the purpose of assisting her anyways. “What sort of school is it? Or, perhaps what are you looking for specifically in a building?”
