And then you tripped?

“...--Yes?”

"That’s good. Good. I’d prefer not to have you dead, you know."

“I wouldn’t want that either, I kinda like my life. But at least I got some butterfly wings from the one I accidentally dragged with me as I fell. I think I may be the first player to kill a butterfly by falling on it.”

Yeah, that’s… that’s interesting.

"Well at first it was only one, then more. A lot more."

"Tell me you’re not dead or near dying or I will murder you myself."

"Well now even if I was, I wouldn't tell you. But I'm fine, mainly bruised and a little sore."

"I know Artificer makes magical weapons, mostly staves and can enchant them. I don’t know if that extends to armor as I didn’t level it up completely during Beta. Tailoring does allow you to create magical armor so you should be good at least having tailoring if you want better armor."

"Ok, so I'll focus on those, maybe see if I can combine them at any point."

"Some butterflies pushed me down a hill... That sounds even more pathetic when I say it out loud."

"Yeah… Those EAB’s are wicked. Who knew something so innocent looking could be so terrifying? But you’re alright, right? Like, you’re health bar isn’t too low and what not?"

"I'm a White Mage, my health bar is fine. It's mainly my pride that's damaged, and I don't think there's a spell to rejuvenate that."

"Did you get into a battle that didn’t go so well?"

"Just a little banged up from stumbling into a nest of EABs.... To be honest, I'm more hurt from literally falling down a hillside than anything else."

"K.K., short for kamikaze. I give everyone on my friends list nicknames since it makes things sound cooler. Don’t worry, I never give my services out for free either. We’re like… very expensive healing prostitutes."

"Healing Prostitutes.... I like that. I'm gonna use that... Hopefully I can get some better armor or something, I should really start working on some secondary skills. I'm thinking I'll do tailoring and artificering... Can I enchant clothing? Maybe I'll do alchemy and herbalism..."

"That is a good plan to follow, K.K. While White Mages have spells to attack with we’re better in a party though I have missed some good loot because I don’t fight."

"K...K? But yeah, I see what you mean.... Though I'm sure I can get someone to fork over some loot for my services... I swear I don't sound like a prostitute normally."

Except the I might kill people part.

Key word, 'might'. You seem like an awesome dude, so you'll find a way to prevent that from happening.

Really? God… that terrifies me. There are probably so many people-… Hey, look. If you need help, I’ll gladly do what I can. I don’t want to see anyone wind up dead because of this fiasco.

Yeah, I have a problem.... That's why my brother nicknamed me Kamikaze, because more often then not my tactics were to dive in and hope for the best... Something that's definitely going to change now.

"No. It’s fine."

"Sounds like you know what you're doing, I think I made a good choice in choosing to tag along with you."

"Yeah, if only breathing would get me out of this game." She murmured under her breath, not immediately realizing she was actually speaking to another player. The moment she had, she gasped, turning to them and crossing her arms across her chest. Her tough act wavered, but her mouth still kept in a tight line. "Sorry, I thought I was.. I mean, I was talking to myself." Tucking a piece of hair behind her ear, Kimiko let out an irritated sigh. "I feel restless staying here. Don’t you?"

"Don't worry, it's fine." Vivian waved the perceived insult off. This was a time of stress for a lot of players, herself included, and she knew better than to take offense to anything. "I do and I plan to head out soon." She would need to train her healing as much as possible since she saw it being a great boon in the future. She knew she wasn't the best fighter, and being a skilled healer would go a long way in endearing her to some of the better fighters. "I just want to make sure I'm properly prepared." Which would mean she needed to visit stores and such to find equipment and make some money.

Sometimes it seems. During full moons but it’s not pretty.

I have to admit, that's kinda cool.
