❙ INTRO MINGLE (SUSUKINO)

[worldfraction]

[ It's early morning when the characters automatically come to, and they'll find themselves in the inns of either Akihabara or Susukino as if waking up from a very restful sleep. Even if their origin wasn't the Japanese server, they've somehow found themselves here anyway!

Suddenly in the body of their avatars it might be a bit difficult to get around at first depending on their configuration, but when they leave their respective buildings they'll notice that the cities seem livelier than they usually are, filled to the brim with People of the Land (who curiously, seem more responsive than usual), as well as having various food booths with a wide assortment (though tasteless) set up.

On closer inspection, one peculiarity is that all guild data has been wiped clean (while everything else is left untouched), and it's up to them whether or not they reestablish their guild or not and claim a new guild hall.

Characters are free from now on to do as they wish! Attempt a dungeon? Contact a friend? The choice is yours! Feel free to play out random encounters and/or People of the Land at your own discretion. If you want to timeskip into a week to skip all the formalities as well, you're more than welcome to, just put a note somewhere in your intro! Be sure to familiarize yourself with the setting before posting as well. ]

the word rejection!!!

[hirootsuki]

Hmm? Are you saying Mitsuki doesn't have a plan in mind to do yet? That's unlike you.

[At least he's getting back on track? He turns to pay for the extra costume for future use though, and finally finally gets away from the store.]

according to google the tagalog equivalent is pagtatakwil, how much did i butcher that by

[literacies]

[ for how long is the true question ]

I'm not inclined to the notion of staying here.

[ not that the idea of brigands and the like daunted her, it was more along the lines of wanting to be productive, someway or the other.

-- she'd speak up about him not taking the set after all but ah — she'd temporarily forgotten about it at some point so she'd been too late for that. ] … And we need to test the system at some point.

the word is not in my vocabulary, it never will be

[hirootsuki]

That's a risky move. [Especially if they're testing the whole system.] I don't feel the presence of youmu, but considering an expansion shouldn't have such an effect...

blasphemy

[literacies]

We still need to figure out what our capabilities and limitations are somehow. [ adamant!! ] The low level mobs in the area shouldn't be too risky.

[ neither of them were tanks or meant for the front lines by any means, but they were a fair few dozens of levels above them!? ]

[hirootsuki]

Then it's a date. [As if he was going to object.] We should get a head start before other groups decide on the same idea.

[literacies]

[ normally she'd have a snide comment to that but she just. can't. any more for today.

so she turns and sets off ahead of him -- but before that, she looks over her shoulder: ]

Don't get too used to it.

[ the body, she means. ]

[hirootsuki]

[-- She didn't object to the date?!

His little sister's undying love is showing. How beautiful.]

[hirootsuki]

Yes, of course. [Following after her now, though he does pause long enough to open his menu and go for a trade towards Mitsuki. You've got a trade request, i~mou~to.]

[literacies]

[ she didn't even acknowledge it!! stop!!

and you know what she does to that trade request? auto reject ]

[hirootsuki]

[SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AND YOU'RE TO BLAME

Wow Mitsuki wow!!!

You just
tossed his love back at him
like a spoiled tissue
crumpled and rejected!!]

[hirootsuki]

You're not even going to open it?

[literacies]

[ … he's just going to keep pestering her isn't he. she knows this game

begrudgingly sinks her heel into the soil to face him again and sends him her own trade request -- ]

If it's another idol outfit or some sort of costume, I'm reselling it.

[hirootsuki]

If you're going to be like that, then I suppose I'll just wear them myself. I'm sure there would be an illustrator or the equivalent around here to capture this moment.

[literacies]

……… Hand it over.

[hirootsuki]

Will you wear it at least once and never get rid of it in any way?

[literacies]

Try your luck.

[hirootsuki]

[See those hand motions? That's him getting ready to change his equipment. Ladida~]

[literacies]

You perverted onii-chan—! Just trade me already! I will!

[hirootsuki]

[Aaaaaah! Bliss~ She finally accepted. In fact, he switches from possibly equipping to a trade request again.

Look, it's that powder blue idol outfit he saw that matches his current dark blue one. It even has the cat ears he nearly put on Sakura. Isn't he such a good brother?] Onii-chan is only looking out for you.

[literacies]

[ she isn't going to bother hiding her distaste for the outfit as the trade goes through, briefly eyeing it in her inventory before — wait for it — flashing the costume (cat ears and all, christ she feels like akihito's shameless mother), returning to her avatar's previous attire almost immediately after. ]

Now we can finally move on, correct?

[hirootsuki]

[It was too fast. Hiroomi opened his mouth, ready to protest because that wasn't fair at all, but then technically he supposed he did leave a loophole in his statement.

So not fair.] Very well. Lead the way. [UNHAPPY ONIICHAN HERE.]
