Fish in the Sea [INVITE]

Alpha spread her arms wide, embracing the rushing winds pushing her back. The cliff-side breaching over the powder blue sea seemed to blend together with the scenery and the heavy, dimming sun setting on the horizon gave the sight a truly beautiful visage. Even Alpha, who had never truly enjoyed such frivolous pursuits in enjoying nature and art, couldn't help but stare in fascination. If she closed her eyes long enough and brushed away her thoughts, she could pretend she was part of the wind which hurried past her.

The first week of Terrasphere's release had been hectic with welcoming events and a flow of unique, vibrant characters filtering out the virtual world. Dunnstads seemed to be one of the few places that was completely and totally unknown, with no explorers sharing information or knowledge of the place. It had been a land flourishing with mystery and, although players still had not uncovered the secrets in even the beginning areas and Brisshal, Dunnstads seemed to be a nice refresher from the green landscape of the forests and began the journey into the chilly coast.

It had been soon after growing bored of the starting areas that she began to fully use to communications panel to its fullest potential. Before long, she had connected with two players: Lucia Mierz and Nalani Rosa. It was a great meeting and they spent much time chatting during off-hours and had decided to meet in the inconspicuous cliff here (which was by no means shady, she reassured herself). The ledge cutting off into the waters cut off after a sudden slope and, while she stood on the top of the hill, she could see the churning waves and the bubbling ocean below her. As mesmerizing of a sight it was, it soon bored her like everything else.

"Ugh, when are they gonna come?!"

She dropped to the ground and hung her feet off the cliff-edge, alternating kicks between each feet and, after every few intervals, grabbed a pebble here and there and threw it into the sea, watching it make a resounding splash. She sighed. Waiting wasn't as fun as she expected it to be.

"I'm here, I'm here!" A voice called out from behind Alpha, as Nalani came stumbling towards the cliff, looking slightly irritated as she caught a hold of herself. Unlike Alpha, who seemed to be one who longed for adventure and liked to explore the area, Nalani liked to take her time. She was still enjoying herself covering every little nook and cranny in the beginner areas, mapping out places and discovering new things in this wonderful world. But once Alpha and Lucia came along and all decided to head out to Dunnstands, she decided well, why not? They seemed like nice people, anyways, and Nalani was always up to hanging out with friends.

So, after making her way over to the coastal beaches, she found here way to the little spot Alpha had spoken about before. It was quite the beautiful location, with a cliff overlooking the ocean. Albeit a bit intimidating, it didn't exactly bother Nalani, and after catching her breath, she paused to take in the scenery, blue eyes studying the ocean as she carefully shifted the egg she was carrying in her arms to the other one, turning her gaze towards Alpha, "Sorry for taking a while, still getting used to getting around." she admitted, tucking a stray strand of hair away from her face before sitting down, far enough away so she didn't risk dropping her egg into the depths below but close enough so it was polite.

"So? What's up?" She wasn't entirely sure what their plan was to do, and honestly, she didn't really know if Alpha was a 'sit around and chat' type of person.

Lucia was much more pragmatic about her approach to the game. While one marveled at the sights and sounds, the other eagerly adventured off doing anything and everything, Lucia was neck deep in practice. Trying to become a pro, trying to earn some spotlight, she didn't get much chance to slow down here and there. She was sprinting towards trying to become someone qualified to take the lead, and her choice of skills only made that a bit harder. Getting the message to hang out, to do something fun though she jumped at the chance, not only because of how hard she'd been pushing herself, but also because she wasn't used to being remembered, to getting attention. It was something she craved, something she needed because of her disappointing reality.

In the game, her nature as an edgelord didn't appear though, in game she was very friendly, mellow, gentle even. Unlike the reality she found herself charging towards the cliff in spirit, in actuality she was making her way steadily, not too rushed or too slow. She glanced to both of the women who she was meeting, her brow knit almost instantly seeing the unlikely pair. "Mm, a nice meeting place-- maybe we should take a photo? Other then that though, what brought you here?" Lucia asked, a genuine curiosity, the view was nice, but she couldn't imagine people just wandering around needlessly. Surely there was something here waiting for them right? Lucia herself was oblivious to what it could be though, rare item? Unique mob? Curious but at the same time suspicious about the reason she probed gently not wanting to sound too uncouth for asking.

 

Alpha jumped as she heard Nalani approach behind her, eyes wide and body tense with hackles raised like a startled critter. After getting a good look at her, however, Alpha calmed down and slumped over, sighing. "You scared me!" she smiled, looking up at the blonde. "I've been waiting since forever!"

After Nalani had told her what held her up, Alpha couldn't help but understand and she felt the tension release from her shoulders. She took her egg out of her pocket (she hoped the thing would hatch soon since she wasn't all that patient about these sorts of things) and knocked Nalani on the head with it. "No worries, just send me a message next time, will ya?" she said in jest. "Also, I'm doing great now that you're here!" she teased.

Unfortunately, it seemed like today was not her day as a voice popped from behind them, startling Alpha yet again and nearly knocking her over the cliff. She would swear to anyone who'd hear that, at the moment, she had not screamed like a newborn child in the hospital. She calmed herself, feeling that her heart would beat out of her chest. "Wait, what was that, what did you say, are you Lucia, of course you're Lucia," she rambled, trying to regain her composure.

Then, finally, with both her companions here, Alpha jumped up from her perch with both her arms wide open. "Well, since we're all here what d'you guys wanna do?" she laughed, completely confused as to what to do next now that her waiting was finally over.

Nalani laughed a little as she was bonked on the head with the smaller girls egg, smiling at her with a roll of her eyes. She couldn't help herself if she kept getting lost. All the time, she suddenly found herself in a different area then she had before, and as much as Alpha had gotten a hang of everything super quickly, not everyone was capable of that. She seemed to be joking, so she didn't let it bother her that much, she just was more or less irritated with her own lack of experience, "Yah, yah, I'll keep that in mind for next time~" she said, matching her cheery and cheeky tone, rubbing her egg absent mindlessly as she did so. Habit.

She turned her gaze towards the third person to arrive, Lucia. She smiled gently and nodded in greeting, "Nice to see you could make it, Lucia~" she said, though her mind immediately locked onto her question. What were they doing here? Here to eat a picnic? Sit and chat? She had thought Alpha might have a plan, but when the smaller girl perked up with yet the same question, she two was left a little confused and clueless as to what they could do next. Go grind for some mastery points, look for something cool to pick up? She didn't really know, and she was probably the least experienced here.

"I'm honestly not fully sure what this game has in it, so I don't really have a good say on what we're doing." she spoke, quickly realizing that that probably wouldn't help the situation, and then setting a finger against her cheek, tapping it in thought, "Well, we could just go kill some monsters and get some points. I really want to level up my beast taming to get a good beast," she confirmed, nodding her head as if agreeing with herself and looking at the others with a questioning look, "It may not be the best idea, but I got nothing better." Maybe Lucia had something if she thought well enough?
