The grasslands were beautiful. It was somewhat embarrassing to admit it, but Prince hadn't left the area immediately surrounding the city much during the beta. She had been so enthralled with the details in the city that she practically ignored actually playing the game for the most part. However, now she was going to correct that! Prince was going to make the most out of her head start in the beta! She already knew where a lot of the quest givers were, so she had immediately gone to them when logging in.
One of the first quests she picked up was 'Bacon Bonanza.' It was a simple kill quest, but it was also the quest that gave Prince the most trouble in the beta. She had cried over this quest. As the tall blond stood on the slope of a hill overlooking a field of angry little piggies, she gulped. It wasn't that the pigs were hard to kill... it was that they were too cute. They were so cute and Prince couldn't stand hearing them squeal.
Why was this game so realistic? Prince just wanted to play and have fun, but she needed to kill things eventually- so it was best to get use to it right? Still... the little piggies were so cute.
And so the six foot two blond teen stood on the hill as she stared at the little piggies in the distance with tears in her eyes. She really didn't like hurting animals. | I CAN MAKE YOUR HANDS CLAP |

 On the branches in the ditches, it's now silent and without life, And breathing becomes oh so hard for me Woe is me, oh woe, And the birds sing no more words xxx • tagged PRINCE • thanks for the thread! | A very cruddy and newbish boot kicked harshly at a small dark stone, causing it to fly into the air and tumble onto the grassy plains. Hands clasped together as they supported each other on nutty brown hair. Golden hued eyes surveyed the distant horizon, focusing on every splotch of colour that piqued his interest. As usual, he had forgotten a specific detail about the questing system. It didn't allow for soloing, at least two people or more was required to complete.
In his haste, he accepted the quest and bolted all the way over towards the grasslands, only remembering as his boots started padding through the greens and his eyes came into contact with the angry little pigs that rompted around. As his eyes had rolled at the realization, he also began realizing he didn't want to waste any energy just running all the way back to town to force someone to quest with him. So instead, he made up his mind to casually stroll through the grasslands looking for any player that may have picked up the quest themselves.
Making his way up a hill, he found just that chance. A very tall blonde skulking at the top looking down at the pigs. Casually making his way up towards his direction, the dark skinned male remained silent as he finally approached. His feet coming to stop and his hands pulling up to open his menu. Clicking on the man as he sent a party request.
would you like to join goryo 's party?
Standing there as he put his menu away, he silently waited for a response. Golden hues watching intently. |

Prince had been staring at the pigs when the party invitation popped up. The blond blinked, momentarily confused as to what was going on. She had been so focused on the frolicking of the vicious pigs that she hadn't noticed the man approaching. Prince turned to try and find the origin of the party invitation. He hadn't noticed the brunette approaching from the bottom of the hill. When Prince turned back around, he found himself face to face with the man.
To be honest, Prince probably hadn't been paying much attention to his surroundings because he must have been blind as all heck to have not seen Goryo. Prince reached out to tap on the party invite, smiling brightly. ”Hi!” he chirped happily as he hopped down the hill, well, a little bit down it. The brunette man had already been pretty close.
”Did you want to do a quest?” he asked, his smile growing wide. His blue eyes looked up to Goryo like an excited puppy. | I CAN MAKE YOUR HANDS CLAP |

On the branches in the ditches, it's now silent and without life, And breathing becomes oh so hard for me Woe is me, oh woe, And the birds sing no more words xxx • tagged PRINCE • ... | he watched the man turn around and stare at him before quickly pressing the accept button. a single trill sound signifying that he had accepted the party request. glancing down at his hands and flexing his fingers as he checked the state of his equipment, he eventually glanced back up as the blonde made his way finally towards him.
”Did you want to do a quest?”
No, fucking duh.
But he kept that thought to himself, merely giving a sharp nod of the head and a " Yeah. "
And once that was clear, he pulled out his rusty old sword from his inventory into his main weapon slot and began jogging up the hill. He felt slow and weaker than he did in real life, and that was to be expected with specific stating in the game. He just..didn't realize it until he enter into the game. It was odd, and he had made the mistake of starting without Ar- Otsukisensei, but his curiosity won out over his patience to wait for his partner. It would be another few hours before the man was able to log in.
He came to a stop eventually just a few distance from the pig, glancing over his shoulder to see if the blonde decided to tag along appropriately or was standing far behind like an idiot. His left hand held his sword tightly and poised near his side. Knees bent and back hunched for a moment before he straightened his back to watch silently. |

Prince's smile grew wider and wider as the man said yes- or rather yeah. The idea of being able to interact with people he otherwise wouldn't always gave the young girl a rush. In the real world, she was quiet- unable to express herself fully without consequence. She was always being watched by her father's associates and her own classmates. Any wrong move could spell disaster for her future. So, being able to openly grin and speak without having to carefully consider her words was beyond refreshing- it was liberating.
”Right! Swords! Those are important!” he hummed with a firm nod before reaching to draw her own sword. He trotted behind the brown haired man with his grin never faltering... And then he remembered that their mission was to slaughter the cute little piggies. Sure, one had killed him during beta- but they were so cute! Being killed by something so cute was okay right?
Tears began to build up at the corner of his eyes. ”Isn't it kind of terrible how realistic the animals are?” he asked through watery eyes. He looked like he was about to start bawling over the virtual pigs.
”They... they even make a distressed squeaking noise when you hit them! It's so sad!!!” | I CAN MAKE YOUR HANDS CLAP |

On the branches in the ditches, it's now silent and without life, And breathing becomes oh so hard for me Woe is me, oh woe, And the birds sing no more words xxx • tagged PRINCE && open • .... | As the blonde began exlaiming about swords and finally pulling his out, Goryo returned to his earlier posture. Taking a moment to kneel, and examine the crazy little pigs. He wasn't interested in running in like an idiot and getting himself killed by the lowest leveled monster in the area. Pigs. That would leave a scar on his pride, and he wasn't willing to let that happen.
Taking a few moments to watch their movement, he paused in his thinking to slowly look behind him. Golden eyes centering on the quivering and teary eyed blonde. Did he really just party up with a complete loser who was sobbing over virtual pigs? He quickly looked away, starting to regret his life choices in the moment before his brows creased together at the last part being said.
His free right hand reached out to try to grab the blonde by the terribly low leveled shirt of his.
" You're a beta tester. " there's no way he'd know that the pigs squeeled sadly when you hit them unless he's already done this quest just recently. (which wasn't possible since you couldn't retake quests after the other) or he did them during the beta test. If that was the case, then he might be able to get something good out of this interaction.

Prince blinked as the man spoke, calling her a beta tester. She grinned before raising her sword and bringing it down theatrically in an elegant and over the top bow of the head. Her blue eyes darted up with a wide grin. ”Why yes I am! I, Prince, am a beta tester! One who explore the game before it was opened to the public- who saw what you have yet to see!” she hummed, practically singing.
Her grin seemed to grow as she gave him a wink. ”By the way! Those little piggies are much tougher than they look! I actually got killed by them a couple of times in the beta! But it was worth it not to have to hear them cry!” she explained with a nod as tears once more built up at the corner of her eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Prince held her sword out. ”But even though it's sad, we must fight them! J... Just... try not to listen to their cries..” She seemed to be saying the last part more so for herself before approaching one of the pigs and gulping before launching into combat with it. The basic sword arts didn't seem to allow for much but basic strikes, that'd have to do for now. | I CAN MAKE YOUR HANDS CLAP |

On the branches in the ditches, it's now silent and without life, And breathing becomes oh so hard for me Woe is me, oh woe, And the birds sing no more words xxx • tagged PRINCE • | As soon as he noticed that Prince was going to be dramatic and go off on some odd monologue, the man seemed to switch to white noise setting. Eyes glancing off into the distance to ignore whatever was being said, barely catching his words and his actions. Turning to look at the pigs more closely, his attention being caught as soon as he heard the word 'tougher' being brought up into the conversation. So they pigs were tougher than they looked, just as he expected.
He glanced down towards his sword, a thoughtful look crossing his features. He had never really fought with a sword. A knife, sure, but a sword? He had trained a little in kendo, but only the basics. He was more suited with ...other things, but if there was one thing Goryo was good at. It was adapting quickly with whatever he had to work with.
His attention was caught again as Prince began moving towards one of the pigs. Lips curling downward as the boy rushed without thinking into battle. This was going to be a long quest, but if things came down to it. He wasn't going down with the kid. He wasn't above running away to not die.
" Let's focus on one at a time. " He spoke quickly, trailing behind Prince with his sword at the ready. Going on ahead with starting with a ...sword art was it? Pulling his left arm back and delivering a horizontal level 1 attack.

The pig squealed as it burst into the familiar rainbow colored pixels. Goryo's attack seemed to do the trick. The pig had been distracted by Prince's flailing sword arts as she utterly failed in anything resembling elegance during combat. Prince gulped as she glanced to Goryo. ”That was scary!” She laughed nervously as her eyes shifted to another nearby pig.
”One at a time? Alright! That sounds good!” she hummed happily, trying to smile brightly. Her smile was rather waning though. She looked somewhat pale. The game was really good at tuning into her emotions, perhaps a bit so. Her avatar looked nervous, but she was trying to keep calm. Prince really wasn't good at combat. She honestly had hoped this game would have a cleric like alternative to fighting, but so far, none was in sight.
So, Prince gripped her sword tightly and took in a deep breath. "Alright, do you want to start the next attack?" | I CAN MAKE YOUR HANDS CLAP |

On the branches in the ditches, it's now silent and without life, And breathing becomes oh so hard for me Woe is me, oh woe, And the birds sing no more words xxx • tagged PRINCE • | Goryo paused in his stance to watch the angry pig burst into a rainbow of coloured pixels, slowly pulling his body into a straightened postured. Canting his head in curiousity, he found that attack the monsters weren't as difficult as he expected it to be. He glanced in Prince's direction to watch her face pale as she spoke. He could tell that she wasn't exactly liking the whole kill the pigs thing. He watched her under his half-lidded eyes, unimpressed crossing his features.
Flipping the blade in his hand, he nodded his head at her request and began jogging off towards the other pig. Sword pulled back at the ready before sweeping past the pig to slash his sword and keep the pig's attention on him while Prince joined in. He made sure to keep a vigilant eye on the pig, not wanting to really get hit by it.
As soon as his sword hit the pig, however, the pig retaliated almost immediately. Headbutting the male right in the stomach, causing him to fly off onto his back. Pixilated dust particles rising from his body coming into contact with the grass, a slight grimace on the man's face. He watched as the HP bar right next to him made a sound of decrease a tad bit.
This damn avatar body was a lot less nimble then his wordly trained body. This was going to be a pain.

When the pig exploded into pixels, Prince gulped. She brought up a hand to cross herself in a silent prayer for the virtual life. Yes, she was giving a prayer for the AI. She wasn't even Christian. People just did that right? Her blue eyes watched as Goryo ran off to the next pig. Prince blinked before calling out. ”Hey! Wait up!” She hadn't been kidding when she mentioned being killed by the pigs before. They could do serious damage if a player wasnt careful.
Prince may have disliked fighting the pigs, but when Goryo was hit, she gulped and moved in to attack. She didn't want him to die. If he died then she'd be stuck out in the field alone with a bunch of angry pigs! Prince slammed her sword against the pig and fell back as she was hit too.
The blond turned to run, trying to get some distance between the pig and her as it gave chase. "Eek! Come on attack it!" she shrieked with the pig hot on her heels.
This would probably be the duos next half hour... Or even a full hour. By some miracle they would probably finish the quest without either of them dying, and well that'd be just dandy. | I CAN MAKE YOUR HANDS CLAP |
