It wasn't easy, but Farms somehow managed to get a decent night of sleep. It was difficult to shake the feeling that he should be back in his own bed, not in some strange inn that doesn't even exist. Of course eventually tiredness would take over and force him to get over it and get to sleep. Still the nights were restless, leaving him with a tense neck and shoulders. A hand reached across his chest to rub at his shoulder as he got up and out of bed, a mostly vain effort to loosen himself up a bit. Sometimes it was a pain how realistic this game could be.
After spending a moment milling around in his room he decided to make his way to the tavern. Once there he made a b-line for the counter and interacted with the NPC, activating the shop menu. He pondered over the menu for a moment, his mind and stomach battling over what he should order. Eventually they came to a compromise with scrambled eggs and toast, a tasty and efficient yet affordable meal. The food materialized in his hands before his eyes, something he would never really get used to.
With a heavy sigh he turned to look out at the many tables spread across the large open room. It was still pretty early in the day, just barely past 5 AM. Even in this digital world his farmer's instincts made sure he was up bright and early, leaving him plenty of sunlight to get things done. With it being so early the tavern wasn't quite as full as usual, just a few spread out groups of people enjoying their meals together.
As always, Farms found himself looking for those solitary souls without someone to enjoy their meal with. Being alone was a sorry state in this world, as it could easily lead to death if they weren't careful. Just having one person there to help could make the difference between life or death, and if he could be that person for someone he would be more than happy to fill the role. It didn't take long for him to spot a table with only one patron, one he could only assume needed a friend. He began to make his approach with food in hand, leaning to the side a bit to get a better look at the tabletop. There didn't seem to be more than one setting, meaning they weren't sitting with a friend who had to step away for a moment.
Giving the fellow player a gentle smile and a nod he would gesture toward the empty seat across from them. "Mind if I sit here? I just saw you and...well it's never fun to eat alone." He didn't really wait for an answer, moving to place himself in the seat as he spoke. Afterall who would say no to company at a time like this?

 毒食わば皿まで | [attr="class","oh"]How disgusting. The dark skinned male lifted the fork to his mouth and yet, he couldn't put it in his mouth. It hovered by his open lips for a moment before the sealed shut. The fork transferred to the plate to lay there dejectedly. Golden hued eyes blearily watching with distaste in their eyes. Video game food. Sure, it was appealing. It looked good. It tasted just fine. Yet, there was something missing and he hated that. That missing element that made eating food so enjoyable. There was no real reason to eat except to satisfy the hunger the roared every once in a while. A game mechanic to make it feel more realistic.
Averting his gaze up, he made eye contact with another fellow was enjoying his breakfast relatively earlier by normal people standards. He watched silently, not moving in his spot as he waited for the other player's reason for approach his table with his food. He really hoped he wasn't trying to sit at his table for company.
"Mind if I sit here? I just saw you and...well it's never fun to eat alone."
Golden hued eyes followed the form of the man as he took a seat at the table without any yes on the matter. His jaw shifted and his lips pulled together into the edges. Fingers curling together into a fist and a deep breath taken in.
" I don't mind eating alone. " was the simple reply, fingers uncurling to pick the fork back up and take a piece of the omelette. Sticking the piece into his mouth and chewing, eyes averted elsewhere. |

The man's response was...unexpected. He couldn't be too surprised though as he too had little issue with eating alone. In fact back home he more often preferred it to having company. It was a good time to relax and organize one's thoughts. But this wasn't the real world, and the need for allies was stronger than ever. So instead of taking the hint he gave Goryo a weak smile, picking up his fork and fiddling with his eggs a bit. This guy wasn't going to last long with this loner attitude of his, a disturbing thought to say the least. Why people were still holding on to these harmful real world convictions he would never understand.
Farms cleared his throat, hoping to get the man's attention before speaking. Maybe if he could just draw him out a bit he wouldn't be so reclusive. Of course that just brought up the problem of what to say. He didn't really care much for small talk, but it seemed he would be forced to come up with something. "So... How've you been handling things? Seems like a lot of people were pretty shaken up with the announcement." Fork skewered a chunk of scrambled egg and popped it into his mouth, it's familiar flavor and texture serving as a nice little reminder of home. "At least people are starting to get used to things around here. It may not be the real world, but it could be worse."

毒食わば皿まで | [attr="class","oh"]It didn't seem like the guy got the hint that he wasn't really interested in having idle conversation with him. He moved his eyes to glance at the grey haired boy with half-lidded eyes. Watching him clear his throat and then continue talking to him. Shoving some scrambled eggs into his mouth before continuing in the conversation.
Looking down at his own omlette, he began cutting a piece of the omlette with his fork before forcing the metal to pick the piece up. Placing it in his mouth, he merely chewed silently. Swallowing and then cutting another piece with his fork. Chewing and then cutting at this omelette again.
" Is there a reason why you're trying to get chummy with me? " he questioned, jabbing his fork into the omelette and then flicking his eyes to look at Farmsalot. He doubted he was just sitting to get friendly with him. There was an ulterior motive to it. Kichi was never the friendly or inviting looking type. Even stupid people knew to avoid him when it was best for their interest. So that just meant it was in Farmsalot's interest to get friendly with him.
" Or are you just that lonely? " |

Lips pressed into a flat line, unsure what to do with the responses he was getting. Rather than starting an actual conversation he instead found himself having his motivations questioned. Farms sighed and rested his hands on the table. How was he supposed to respond to this? "Fine, I'll explain. I saw you sitting here by yourself and thought you could use a friend." He picked up his toast and took a bite out of it, pausing for a moment to chew. As much as he wanted to continue this conversation he wasn't about to let his food get cold. What a waste that would be.
"I don't care who you are, going out there alone is dangerous." He had seen people like that in game, people who thought they could handle themselves without the help of a party. While he hadn't seen them get into too much trouble yet, it was really just a matter of time. "And you can never have too many friends here." This guy didn't seem like one to beat around the bush, but he hoped he would be reasonable in this regard.

毒食わば皿まで | [attr="class","oh"]And there it was. The first sigh. The sigh of realizing that beating around the bush wasn't really going to get you anywhere with the Yakuza member. His fork began working on the omelette, the food already having be almost half eaten by the pace the dark skinned male was going at.
"Fine, I'll explain. I saw you sitting here by yourself and thought you could use a friend."
A single nod and then placing an omellete piece into his mouth. Tomatoes. Peppers. Mushrooms. Cheese. Artichoke. All the necessary items needed to make an almost perfect omlette. Yet, even with every bite he took it just wasn't the same as if he made it himself at home.
He paused in his eating to place his fork down onto the plate. Looking into his food with furrowed brows, half listening to the man talk to him as he lamented sadly over his food.
"I don't care who you are, going out there alone is dangerous."
Maybe if it had just a tad bit more salt and some peas. Maybe that would fix what was wrong with this meal? He placed his elbow down on the table, fisting his hand as he rested his cheek on it. His left hand picking the fork up slightly to pick at the food.
"And you can never have too many friends here."
Goryo sighed. Waiting a few more seconds for the man to talk, he realized that Farmsalot was done with his reasoning. Golden hued eyes pulling to look up at the boy unamused.
" So you think I don't have any friends. " he looked at Farmsalot for a few seconds, surveying his face for his response to that before lifting his dominate hand to stop him from saying whatever was going to blurt out of his face.
" I don't really care. " |

It was difficult to tell if he was actually listening to him as the man across from him went about his meal. He seemed much more interested in his omelette than any conversation Farms may be offering. Not that it was going to stop him from trying. If he gave up that easily there was no way he was going to make it out of here. All he had to do was remain calm.
That would prove to be more difficult than he first thought. As he opened his mouth to answer the question, he found himself being interrupted before he could form a single word. His face froze, mouth still slightly ajar as he squinted at the man across the table. This whole 'tough guy' act was an irritating one. Not because he didn't care what he had to say, he had every right to disagree with him. But this was bigger than either of them.
He didn't say anything at first, instead taking a bit of egg and putting it onto his toast. This was a familiar breakfast, back on the farm. At least he could enjoy that bit of his morning. Bread was set back down on the table after taking a bite, his eyes locking on to Goryo's. "I'm not sure you're getting my point. Here, friends are the difference between life and death. I don't know how many you have, but I do know that every ally counts. You either make friends or you're going to die." His smile returned, although considerably weaker than before. His previous optimism was replaced with caution, and it showed.

毒食わば皿まで | [attr="class","oh"]He kind of wished he had something hot to drink. Maybe some hot booze would be good.
Oh damn.
His brows furrowed together. He hoped that alcohol had the same effect it did, but since this was relatively a child's game. He didn't expect Kaboyo or whatever his name is to give them that luxury.
He turned his gaze elsewhere before pulling it back at the man in front of him finally speaking. Goryo's head canting to the side as he thought over what he was told. Make friends or die. He understood that, is that what he was trying to convey to Goryo?
The edge of his lip quirked upward, a lopsided smirk appearing on his face as he looked at Farms. Looking at his weaker smile, eyes locking together.
" You should have said that from the beginning. " He stated, pushing his plate towards the side and pulling himself into a more straighter position. Pulling his leg to cross his ankle over his knee and fold his hands in front of his stomach.
" I'm can make friends when I need to, especially in the case of survival. " |

Brows rose, surprised by the man's sudden change in tune. If one could even call it that. He still seemed insistent of freezing him out, but at least he had stopped questioning and disagreeing with him. His smile regained it's strength, nodding his head as he gestured to open up the menu. "I'm glad you see my point."
After spending a moment navigating to the social section of the menu he turned his gaze back to Goryo, his cursor following as well. "And since this is a case of survival." One last press of the menu and the friend request was sent. He gestured the menu away, picking up his fork and readying another bite. "My name is Farmsalot, as you see from my request. And I think it would be nice if we both made it out of here alive." He watched Goryo for a moment before taking the final bite of his eggs.

毒食わば皿まで | [attr="class","oh"]He canted his head, watching him silently as he saw farms open up his menu. Blinking once and then twice, half-lidded eyes glanced elsewhere to preoccupy themselves. Barely paying any attention to the man's words before a screen popped up in front of his vision. The words 'do you wish to accept farmsalot's friendship request?'.
He turned to look towards the odd man, snorting as his lips curled away from his lips to show pearly white teeth. One side quirking upward into a more lopsided smile more than anything else. He gave out a short laugh before shaking his head, a hand reaching up to press the accept button.
" You're funny. I find that amusing. " he stated, pulling his back more into the chair while a hand began aimlessly musing with the ends of his dyed hair.
" What do you plan to do to survive? Besides making everyone be your friend. " |

Amusing? Well at least he was getting somewhere. Farms returned the smile, though his was less crooked. Picking up the half eaten bread off the plate, he slide the plate aside to rest his arm in it's place. "What do you mean 'besides making friends'? That's the most important part." For some reason he doubted that would make for a suitable explanation on it's own. "The more friends and allies you have, the more people you can rely on and fight with, the better your chances of survival."
He stopped there, though he could probably go on. "Of course I do more than make friends." This guy clearly didn't place too much value on having allies, so he wasn't about to continue on about it. Maybe if he saw what other people could bring to the table, though... "I'm a craftsman. I make a lot of chain and plate armor. On top of that, I'm going to be on the front lines when the real fighting starts." It still sounded strange to himself that he would be fighting. He hated it, but it was something that he would have to deal with. However much he disliked fighting, he disliked sitting by and doing nothing even more. "I've got a ways to go before I'm ready, but I intend to be there when the time comes."

毒食わば皿まで | [attr="class","oh"]Readjusting himself in his chair, he leaned forward and pressed his weight against the table. Arms lying on the surface while one propped up to support his cheek. Golden hued eyes watching Farms with a slight curiosity, but apathy for the most part.
He certainly put friendship as the most valuable asset in the game, and while he would slightly agree. He didn't fully believe that was the key to survival in the game. There is only so much others can do for you.
Yet as the boy began talking about crafting and being on the front lines he began to realize that he wasn't just using people to hide behind. He wanted a part in the battle as well, and knew he had a long way to go before he would be ready for that.
A hand pulled up to trail fingers idly on the surface of the table, eyes pulling downward to watch. Drawing an invisible circle on the table, the dark skinned male opened his mouth to respond.
" You're a goody two shoes, aren't you? " |

This guy was a tough nut to crack. He seemed completely disinterested, like he simply didn't care whether Farms was at the table with him or not. Eyes watched his gestures, eventually following the man's finger as it traced circles on the table. Was he bored of the conversation or just...weird? It was difficult to tell at this point.
He opened his mouth to respond to the question, hesitating for a moment before actually speaking. "Yeah. I guess I am." 'Goody two shoes'. That was a term he never understood. People acted like trying to be a good person was somehow a negative thing, using it as an insult to people who held to their convictions. Hearing the familiar term instantly put Farms on edge. "Why? Is that a bad thing?" As far as he could tell, this Goryo guy was one of those real world tough guys, the type who didn't play by the rules. While normally he had no interest in a person like that, their rebelliousness, if properly directed, could be invaluable in escaping this place. Maybe having something to rebel against would give them a reason to fight the game rather than other players.

毒食わば皿まで | [attr="class","oh"]Goryo continued to draw an imaginary circle into the table, boredom clearly crossing his features. He had eaten as much as he wanted and now he was getting bored of the conversation. Golden hued eyes only briefly looked up to look the man across from him in the eyes. They sharpened from their half-lidded nature, staring the other down with a silent intensity.
" Depends. If you make it one. " was the vague reply from the dark skinned male. His eyes dulled once more in boredom and returned to look at the table as he began picking at the state of the table. He was tired of this place, he just wanted to go back home. Where everything was just as he wanted it. Clean, meticulous rooms with cats happily awaiting for him. Now, he just had this dingy ugly place with no cats.
His lips quirked downward suddenly and he pushed himself away from the table as he rose to his feet. Stepping around from the table and chair, he began making his way out of the inn. Perhaps a jog would do him better. |

Just as he suspected. Goryo's answer was as good as a yes. Farms took a deep breath and shook his head, pulling away from the table to sit up straight. People like that never failed to bother him. Still, he managed to convince himself that people like that were going to be needed. It takes a certain measure of bravery to survive on your own in this world. Maybe those people would need his help even more than those who were fighting with others. It wasn't as if there would always be someone there to pull them out of danger should things get out of hand.
Farms had his words taken away from himself before he could speak, Goryo's sudden departure catching him by surprise. "So that's it? You're going now?" He sighed and shook his head, not even attempting to stop him. Instead he looked back at the man with raised brows and a smile. Honestly he wasn't sure what he should have expected. "Let me know if you need anything, friend." Instead of being offended, Farms decided it would be better to be amused by the whole thing. He could definitely say that he never met a man like that before. That was reason enough to hope that he didn't stay a stranger.
