BACK TO THE MOUNTAINS [Q/KIKI]

She was making progress. From leaving the Inn for small aimless walks to actually taking quests again, she felt as if she was pressing on ahead at a good pace it would seem. Next, she would aim for meeting with a tailor in the town of Tolbana to help her upgrade from her current starter gears and hand-me-downs from Ra--Sonic. Before the venture off to Tolbana though, there was another quest she remembered for the Beta that she felt would certainly be of some good use to her person.

It was this rather simple climb the mountain quest, which had bored her with it's concept in the beta, but now with the current stakes it seemed... Interesting. Like a nature hike or something, y'know? But, of course quests couldn't be done solo, and after a while of wandering around, Kiki had finally come across another person by the quest starter point. A younger player - probably a decade younger than herself - was just lounging in the sun, seemingly asleep. But, he was underneath the beacon for help that led her to him so there came a moment where she wasn't sure if she should bother him or not.

Then she remembered the stakes and how dangerous just sleeping out in the middle of no where could be and kind of found her resolve.

"Hello?" she softly called out, crouching down in front of the boy. "Sorry, you're looking for party members for the Height of Glory quest, right?" she tacked on, quirking her head a little to the side. There was a small bubble of worry inside of her as she bothered him though. While most have shifted their focus to simple survival, there was still some of the angry fans that blamed her for their being trapped in this game. She used to love the recognition as some sort of internet celebrity for her gaming content, but now it was just making interacting with people here a rather scary experience.
