[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you Aiko had finally been able to clear some time off her schedule to get down with this beta. [break][break] She was currently lording it over her sibling, if mainly because usually they're the ones that get the new stuff, not her. She was just the shame of the family or something - not that she cared really. Most of her family dyed their hair blonde anyways, so what was the goddamn problem if she dropped out of high school to go handle things in the real world? She didn't have time for education that was breaking the wills of her friends. She was never one to just sit around and wait that's for sure, taking to odd jobs and the streets just as easy as she had taken to sports and fighting. [break][break] A professional delinquent, she likes to joke. [break][break] Mostly because her parents don't see the value in her other hobbies - mostly the online music producing. Waste of time, they sniff. Well whatever, in between working on those and her odd jobs? She had been kept rather busy. But not no more, no siree, she had the full weekend in front of her to act like a goddamn yankee - was that the term for the southern people, she doesn't remember, the Americains are so weird with their terms - to get some levels and get some ass whoopin' done. Mainly, one of the reasons she was selected, so oh so presumed, is because she had the talent of just cruising through games. [break][break] It was enough that her handle 'BrokenCanary' had become rather known in certain circles. [break][break] So she had chosen Canary, simply because one word was nice enough. And now she was here, plopped fresh like a new born babe in the beginner town. The popping windows for tutorial kept coming up, but she dismissed them. Screw trying to learn the system by boring tutorials - let's just get out there and learn. That's her way, and the girl wasn't going to change it now. So the town was there, open, and ready for her to explore and pluck some of it's many secrets and first times. Well if she could get to them first. There were other beta players, she had to remind herself. [break][break] ''Yo, hey you! Where's da nearest quest board or whatever they usin'!'' she said, pointing out a random person, unsure if they were player or non-player. Well whatever, she'd find out which one they were after calling them out. [break][break] ARETO[googlefont="Muli|Pavanam"]

Areto heaved a sigh.
It wasn't as if he was tired of the game already but running around so much almost tuckered him out. While staring up at the bright blue sky, he wondered whether or not his actual body was feeling any of this fatigue right now. He wasn't the most athletic student in school and only did a lot of physical training when it suited him or if he was bored enough to indulge in it but this was a whole new level.
Rolling his shoulder while making his way back to the town's square, he noticed there were more players than there had been before. The beta test must have kicked into high gear and everyone was trying to find their niche. He was glad that he wasn't stuck in the potential queue just waiting to happen at the very least. Shaking his head, he slumped unceremoniously over one of the benches nearby and rested his cheek against the cool metal.
This felt so nice. Almost as if he was in the real world, just taking a break, relaxing.
And then a voice called out to him.
Looking up, he noticed a girl pointing at him with a fierce look in her eyes. He glanced around trying to see if she was pointing towards anyone else or if there was someone behind him. But there wasn't anything there and she was pointing at him it seemed. With a tense little smile and a rub of the back of his head, he opened up his mouth to respond only to remember what she asked of him. A quest board or something?
Well, that was a little tricky, wasn't it?
"I think you have to talk to NPCs for quests if I'm not mistaken."
He stood up although his body was telling him to rest for a little while longer instead.
"I can take you to one NPC if you'd like, oh, I'm Areto by the way."

[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you Look, she could get a hint, and even then, she could tell when someone was not feeling it. [break][break] And this kid - he looks like a kid to her shut up - wasn't feeling it. [break][break] She almost want to shout - yes you, who the fuck else - but she kept it in. No need to be pissing the only help off this early. Her little bought of patience paid off, as the guy seemed to pick up on an idea and roll with it. ''Score! Well kinda sucks because quest boards are easier, but hey, better then nothing! Let's go bud!'' she said. She immediately closed the gap between her and the kid and grinned. ''Name's Canary, please ta meetcha!'' she said. She gave a slight bow of the head, because she wasn't that much of a sellout okay. [break][break] ''Hey dude, you ain't looking a hundred percent. It's okay if we take it slow.'' she ends up saying. She noticed how slow he was moving, and well she figured that kids were not like that normally. She didn't mind if it took a bit - even though she wanted to get on the quests, and get it done yo - because hey, she was going to drag this kid on with her. But for now? Be concerned, and try to make sure he doesn't die or whatever. ''Like if you just wanna stop for a bit, that's cool too. Like you seriously don't look too hot, and I'd feel bad if I pushed ya too far kid.'' she said, her hand running through her blonde hair again. [break][break] 'Okay, keep it together Kimura, you can do this with no hiccups or hang ups, can't you?'[break][break] ARETO[googlefont="Muli|Pavanam"]

There were a lot of players that were beginning to log into beta later and later on. It was a sight to see when the Town of Beginnings was filling up with new voices and faces who were eager to start their own adventures. But never in a thousand years did he think that someone would come up to him and ask him where something was. Areto's head tilted to the side at her question and he gave himself a one over. Did he really seem that tired?
Running around did lessen one's stamina and maybe it was the fact that he hadn't eaten which was getting to him.
"Well, we could stop to get something to eat on our way to find a Quest NPC for you," he offered.
The stomach was the ticket to a person's heart, or was that how the saying went, Areto wondered.
It was certainly something about stomachs and hearts but he couldn't quite figure out what it was. Nonetheless, she really did seem concerned about him and he wasn't one for taking a rest if it wasn't necessary. Clapping his hands against his face a few times to "wake" himself up, he gave a bright grin although there were red marks on either side of his face from where he slapped himself.
"Don't worry so much about me, I'll be fine after I get something in my stomach, you'll see."
Canary was a pretty name though. Come to think of it, why did he choose the name Areto?
"I'm Areto, nice to meet'cha Canary."

[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you Yeah, okay, the kid wasn't looking the greatest. [break][break] She was a big sister, so it was easy for Aiko to tell when someone was dead on their feet. Came with the job of wrangling the young ones. That and her boys were of the type to try and hide their fatigue and what not. So she's got the eagle eyes for this kind of thing. So of course, when he tried playing it off, she wasn't buying what he was peddling. ''Yeah, no, try that on some sap that isn't going to notice how full of holes it is kid. And ya already told me your name, so mandatory rest it is. Mainly because I doubt you're actually that stupid to forget what you just said a minute ago.'' she said. Her tone was obviously not impressed, and really, she wasn't. [break][break] Big sister, remember? [break][break] ''So lead me Areto, and if I see ya fumblin' I'm going to carry ya.'' she added. She wasn't going to take no for an answer, so this kid was stuck with whatever she was going to do. The blonde just grinned, before falling easily in step with the male, as he was leading them both to somewhere to get some grub. The player was keeping an eye out though, just in case he so much as faltered. She wasn't going to let some kid collapse because she asked him to help her out. She wasn't heartless, no matter how much other people thought that she might be. There was just a time and place for a heart after all, and since they weren't in a quest, just traveling, it was fine to be nice. [break][break] But woe betide the one that thinks they can slack on a quest with her around. [break][break] ARETO[googlefont="Muli|Pavanam"]

Areto rubbed the back of his head with a bit of nervous laughter.
So she could see right through him, huh?
It had been awhile since he was the one being doted on. Being an older brother and thus getting older as the days went by, he tended to worry about his younger sister, while his parents did the same. Though he wouldn't chalk it up to neglect, more of a change in priorities, the younger overtaking the older. He could care for himself if he needed to after all but it did help when someone else expressed worries. Nodding along to her words and breaking out in a little hum, he made his way to the Inn of Beginnings. It was the only place that he was sure of that would be selling food around this time. NPCs sold food as well but he wasn't very sure on who to talk to or where to go in that regard.
"Are you in the mood for something heavy or light," he asked. "Seeing as we'll be advenuring together for a bit, it may be good to put something heavy on our stomachs."
However, that did raise the question. If he ate in Aincard would it also feed his body in the real world or would he just remain hungry but not know it?
That was a dreadful thought.
Not knowing if you were hungry or needed to use the restroom or even sleepy while your mind was encased in another world. Then again, it was what they all signed up for and any complains could be taken to Argus' professionals.

[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you Good, he listened to her. [break][break] No need to bust out the 'carry you on my shoulder' tactic then. The blonde could relax with that, mostly because she knew she could handle it if he lied or tried to escape. She had a goal in sight, and she didn't care what she had to do to get it done. But for now, the plan was to keep an eye out on what was going on with the kid, get him settled, and then go kick the crap out of that quest. Learn how to fight maybe. ''Hmm... I don't care, I'll eat whatever.'' she said, a grin touching her face. It was cute that he seemed to be concerned about her opinion, but she really didn't have one. [break][break] ''But yeah, heavy sounds like the best option. Just not too heavy, the excise will make us sick from it probably.'' she said. Thinking of how her body works, it might take a moment for her to catch on that it might be different. But for now, she just assumes it's the same until she's proven wrong. It's one way to handle things admitedly, but right now she's just going along with the current flow. Mostly because that's what she felt like doing right now, so that's what she would do. [break][break] So where would they end up? Only the boy knows, she supposes. [break][break] ARETO[googlefont="Muli|Pavanam"]

[attr="class","strawberry"] [attr="class","coconut"]GET YOUR FEET WET She really did seem like an older sister sort of character which only made this even more awkward. Well, not awkward, but a bit sad. He knew that he wasn't the easiest person to take care of but at the same time, he was twenty-five years old, what if she was like nineteen. If he was being doted on by someone that was much younger then him then he'd never live down the embarrassment. The blond huffed lightly and smiled, shrugging, it would all come in time. He'd just have to put up with it whether it went one way or another. Well, the first thing to do was to make some connections. He opened up his menu and sent her a party invited. «ARETO» is inviting you to a party.
ACCEPT or DECLINE
Areto tried to recall the places that he frequented so far. There weren't many, he spent the majority of his time exploring so the amount of time that he ate was few and in between. He kept some pieces of bread and honey to eat. It wasn't much but it tasted good at the time so he wasn't going to complain about it. Nonetheless, he had to find somewhere to go with her or else she'd probably make good on her words. And she seemed like the type of person who didn't make empty promises. " Alright, I think I know a place where we can go," he said. " Is there any specific quest that you were thinking of doing, one with monsters or just gathering?" While he spoke, he turned and began to make his way down one of the busier streets that led towards the marketplace.

[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you It was easy to tap the invite and boom, they were in a party together. [break][break] Easy peasy right? [break][break] The woman was rather content that the boy seemed to be accepting her advice. Of course, he could be older then she was, but that never stopped Canary before. After all, she was ordering a bunch of grown men in the real world. They were such big kids to be honest, it's like becoming an adult made them too prideful to properly take care of themselves. Or they got so used to having to take care of others they forget how it is to be taken care of. Either way, she often had to force her boys to listen, the little rascals. But she loved them anyways, they were her boys after all. [break][break] ''Anything sounds good, I'm just trying to pick up some exp and money right now to get some things you know?'' she said, an easy laugh. [break][break] But her eyes had seen his level, and she had felt a twinge. She had wanted to be the highest level dammit. It wasn't hate, and it wasn't even enough to really bother her, but it was more of a fun competitive thing. Well, he'll figure it out eventually, whenever she decides to get going right? One day. But for now, she'll deal with it, she had to learn the game inside and out first. So with a deep breath, she let it go. For now, she would just concentrate on following his footsteps, making sure to not lose track of him in the slowly emerging market crowd. [break][break] ARETO[googlefont="Muli|Pavanam"]

[attr="class","strawberry"] [attr="class","coconut"]GET YOUR FEET WET Areto flashed a smile over his shoulder in Canary's direction. Though, he didn't miss the slight narrowing of her eyes. Was she staring at his level? He tried not to show his disheartened expression on his face. It seemed as though the higher he became, the more it isolated him from others. He was keen on hiding his level and not seeming as though he was an "elitist". Higher leveled players in other games tended to isolate themselves from the younger players and leave them to fend for themselves. A bit of a "tiger parenting" philosophy if he was correct but it wasn't right. The veterans should help the green horns after all and that was necessary. The crowd was growing thicker and Areto could hear a few people calling out their wares along with adventurers hurrying from one place to the next. It seemed as though everyone was headed to their own places right about now. He wondered where on Earth they had to go in such a hurry but it was beta. Wouldn't be open for very long either. " Oh, there it is," he said. Gesturing to a small stall that was serving bread and a type of butter to coat across it, he grinned over his shoulder. " Want to try it?"

[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you ''Looks good holy crap.'' she said, as her stomach rumbled. [break][break] Loudly. [break][break] She didn't wait, but instead grabbed him by the arm and dragged him towards the stand. Her face seemed to light up, as she looked at the food. Handing over the col for her own, she couldn't help but take in a deep smell. The baker seemed happy and amused at her, and finally she had the bread in her hands. The blonde was all excited, and waited for the other to get his own order. Once both of them had it? She had no reservations, and took a big bite from her bread bun thing. And oh gosh it was warm, it was good and it was the most perfect bread - well yes and no. [break][break] It felt a bit bland actually. [break][break] Whatever, it was still good. She finished hers, making sure she didn't leave a mess over herself and her armor, and then grinned. ''Alright, feeling all better now? You do look a bit better, though that makes me wonder how long you've been playing today.'' she said, tilting her head to the side a little bit. And she was giving him the big sister stare of 'and you better not lie to me, so go on, tell me' because if he had been playing for too long? She'd bully him off to go take care of himself and set them both a meeting time. Because goddammit, he might be higher leveled then her, but that didn't matter, because she would make sure he's well taken care of! Even if she has to make him give her his info so she can go harass him for real. [break][break] Don't underestimate the big sister instincts. [break][break] ARETO [googlefont="Muli|Pavanam"]

[attr="class","strawberry"] [attr="class","coconut"]GET YOUR FEET WET Canary seemed excited at the idea of eating bread buns. Before Areto could utter another word, he was being dragged towards the stall, and thrown into conversation. Watching her with a little smile on his face and waiting while humming a soft tune. This wasn't exactly how he thought his day would be going. However, he came to find that over the past few days, nothing was going to plan for him at all. it was more of a "go along with it" sort of deal rather than anything else concrete. The marketplace was bustling today and the sky was clear, he could spend a few more hours just goofing off with her, rather than running himself ragged. Once she ordered her own and went to sit down, Areto ordered six bread buns and butter to go along with it. He took a seat next to Canary and opened up the jar of butter, tapping it once and then tapping his bread as to let it spread itself. He took a few bites and hummed at the warmth. It was fluffy and soft, a little sweet, and the butter melted in his mouth. After practically devouring the six bread buns at his disposal, he looked up at her with wide eyes and his cheeks slightly puffed from the amount of bread in his mouth. He chewed and swallowed before giving her a bright grin. " Yep! I feel a lot better now." He stood to his feet and patted off the invisible dust that was on his pants. " Ready to go or was there something else you wanted to see?"

[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you Ah. [break][break] Shit that was cute. [break][break] She lets out a chuckle - she doesn't giggle - and smiled at him. Heck, lately she's been all smiles, despite how she feels. But she's watching him, and she thinks, they could probably take some more time. By his level, she knows he's running himself ragged at the very least. So a little bit of a time off didn't hurt no one, and if she could make it happen, why not? The blonde just lets out a hum, getting to her feet. ''Let's explore a bit uh? No use running into something right away and get a cramp or something. Let the food settle down.'' she said. [break][break] She was trying to sound reasonable and convincing, mostly because she didn't want him to catch on to the fact she was angling to get him a break. The woman was kind, but it didn't mean she wanted people to catch on of how much of a bleeding heart she can be. It's honestly the worst. ''I'd like to get a good idea of the town, and it sounded like you were unsure of yourself earlier. So let's fix that right?'' she adds on, hopefully reinforcing her convincing.

[attr="class","strawberry"] [attr="class","coconut"]GET YOUR FEET WET The bread went down easily. Although, he was left wishing that he had juice to swallow the rest down with as well. Preferably banana juice. However before he could voice his concern to Canary, she seemed on to the next task and he stood up as well. Her concern over his well being was flattering if not embarrassing. Areto couldn't recall the last time someone had worried over him so much. Aside from the phone calls that he received from his mother reminding him to eat often and to visit them when he could. It was nice and he couldn't complain. Caring so much for another person must come from a good place and be filled with a type of love and affection which couldn't be emulated easily. " Alright then," he said. " We can look around the marketplace or gravitate towards the quest board." Even if she was doing this for his own health, it wouldn't bode well if they strayed from their course. He wanted to show her what he promised to after all. Whether he was tired or not didn't quite matter in the end since fatigue didn't quite exist if applied to the body. Areto crossed his arms behind his head and glanced at her from the corner of his eye. " Which direction would you like to go in first?"
