The World

Kaochin: You just got lucky last time. The next time I see you with my items stocked, you're dead.

*Kaochin sticks her nose up in the air & walks past them, followed by Bolt.*

Thiera: We're not even on the Delta Server.

Cactus: So, wanna do something?

Zalera: Like what?

Cactus: I dunno. I've been meaning to check out Carmina Gadelica.

*Monudon shrugs*

<I guess. I think we may be losing Zalera.>

"Weren't we supposed to meet up with that one guy from the dungeon?" Mortal asked, "Whatever happened to that?"

Euryale: We need to get high enough in level first, but I guess I can E-mail him to make sure that we're still on for that.

Zalera: On sec.

*He turns to them.*

Zalera: Hey, guys, wanna go to Carmina Gadelica?

Euryale: That's a bit high in level for us yet. We've gotten pretty behind on our grinding since all of this happened.

Monudon:<With all of us, I'm sure we can so it!>

"Still only three of us to a party," Noct said, "Would be messed up exp distribution is we attacked the same things."

Euryale: The areas in Carmina Gadelica start at Level 30. If we wanted to go there, we might as well just go to the dungeon.

Thiera: I really don't think we're ready. We should at least be in our 20's first.

Monudon:<Then, where should we go to train?>

"I am above lv. 20," Noct said.

"Well, I'm not. I don't think Sab is either."

Sab shook her head.

<I'm not ether.>

Thiera: Neither am I.

Euryale: Nor I. But I think we should Gate over to Mac Anu.

Thiera: Why? Wouldn't it be hard to find a good area to earn levels in there?

Euryale: Maybe, but I just want to avoid Kaochin while we're planning. She hinted that she'd be back.

Zalera: Sorry, but it looks like I have a lot of catching up to do here.

Cactus: No, I understand. See ya, Zalera.

*Cactus waves & then runs off in the direction of the Grunty Farm.*

<Well, then let's go!>

*Monudon starts heading for the Chaos Gate*

Noct, Mortal and Sab gate out to Mac Anu.

Hector followed along.

~Aqua Capital Mac Anu~

*They arrive in the city streets just in time to see 2 others Gate Out. Also nearby is Elk, talking to a Blademaster with green armor who looks like an anthropomorphic cat, which large ears. This is strange to anyone who knows the game fairly well, because animal textures aren't a thing you can get on your characters. The duo must be using whisper mode.*

Thiera: Hey...wasn't Tsukasa mentioned as always hanging around a cat player-character? And now that I think about it...doesn't Elk look kind of similar? To what he was said to look like?

Noct tried to remember what Tsukasa looked like from the one time she saw him and the Crimson Knights fighting, "I suppose so."

*Monudon turns to Hector*

<(Could it be?)>

"I think so," Hector replied.

Thiera: You think it's Tsukasa with an edited character? But then why would he be so weak?

*As they can read/hear anyone who isn't using party chat, Elk & the cat-character look over at them.*

Noct looks back at them, "Perhaps we should ask."

*Monudon waves*

<(Why not.)>

*Elk backs away, looking kind of afraid of them. The other one starts walking towards them.*

Mia: I don't know any Tsukasa. But that's a unique bracelet.

Aroma: You...you can see it?

Mia: Of course. Do you mean to say that you can't see this nice bracelet?

*She touches Aroma's wrist & a band forms around it, not unlike the ring inside of the Twilight Guardian. When she removes her hand, it's vanished.*

Mia: Even though it's not finished, and so probably can't do anything, it's still very nice.

<How did you do that?>

"Who are you?" Noct asked.

Mia: I'm Mia, obviously. I don't think I know you well enough to answer any other questions.
