Megathread - Link Start: The Outpost | Page 3

Upon hearing Seth's words towards him, talking about them reaching the top of the food chain, Grim held a small smirk on his face as he listened to his comrades words. "Well if that's the case then I say we should get to work. If you're so worried about what people will think about it then lets make sure your at the top of this worlds food chain. Then, who knows, maybe you can walk around without the hood at all. I hear plenty of girls are into the whole cat aesthetic." That whole bit about the cat aesthetic took Grim off-guard, it was true but he didn't expect Seth to point that out to him, and when he saw his friend waving a hand towards him which made him chuckle.

"Come on Crimson Cloak, let's explore this word and all of its secrets." He said with a smirk still upon his lips as he lead his comrade towards a new dawn, one where they had nothing to fear, could hold their heads up high and be who they are. While still, they were weak, fragile and could easily be slain by a more powerful foe, if Grim was cautious, he and Seth had nothing to worry about in this new game, and if they found allies, more firepower. However, Grim wasn't too big of the idea of large parties, maybe two other people and that would be is, he had a firm grasp on his role, he wanted to be the vanguard, the tank, all he needed was to find a DPS and a Healer or Support depending on Seth's playstyle.

And as he trotted off, happy to have made a new friend as soon as he logged in, well, more or less within the hour of getting into the blasted servers, he wondered why this game was such a secret, why he wasn't allowed to talk about it. Perhaps when he gets back him, he'll look into the matter if he could find anything about it, considering the amount of VR games out that like this, he might find a forum on something else, but in the mean time, he had to focus on his task with Seth, the cloaked Felis male, with blonde fur and a claymore, all beginning his big future.

"Oh boy" Seto muttered to himself as he followed behind Alia into the Tailor ship, this was going to be his first true test of endurance in the game, Clothes shopping.....with a girl. this brought up memories in Ryosuke's mind that he wasn't fond of, remembering the many times when Satoya brought him with her to go suit shopping, for someone who was a professional driver, she sure did own a few bit of Secretary like suits, having a large amount of under white collar shirts with a long sleeve black dress shirt over neath. Below the waist was always a tight black skirt down to her knees and some sort of black heels, he did understand why she needed so many outfits or why women needed more clothes all the time, he knew he couldn't use logic to try and figure it out or else he just end up hurting his brain more. Walking into the store showed a small shop with a single large room with many racks of clothing with their own signs designating what gender they were for, at the other end of the room directly from the front window and the entrance were two changing rooms. one for women and one for boys although they had thick curtains for doors than actual doors, "Great" Seto muttered to himself sarcastically when he saw the changing room, now he was going to have to guard Alia when she got changed to try on some new clothes, he didn't want any perverts from getting a peep, such a thing was immature and inappropriate.

After taking a few feet into the store, the Elderly Woman from earlier appeared beyond the counter of her shop, she smiled at the two before raising her voice to get their attention. "Oh my, you two newcomers are the first ones to enter my shop today, luckily for you two I just got my new shipment in."

The next thing she say would definitely get to Seto and not in a good way either. Taking her time around the counter to the two, she tilted her head with a smile on her face as she looked at the two with her hands on her face. "Oh my, your girlfriend is so cute sir, you two make quite the cute couple!" Seto nearly shit a brick when he heard that, he turned his head over to Alia with a panicked expression on his face, his mind went completely blank after hearing that, "Girlfriend?" that word kept running through his shattered mind, in his state, he just couldn't grasp what the elderly woman said."Gi..Gi..Gi..Gi..GIRLFRIEND?.....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Shaking his head, he walked the other way to the Shop's main window before gently slapping himself a few times and shaking his head. Meanwhile, the Elderly woman looked puzzled for a moment as Seto walked away from the two, she shrugged her shoulders before she looked at Alia. "Is there something wrong with your boyfriend miss? Anyway is there anything you're looking for in particular? we don't carry armor but we carry most styles of clothing to fit and since it's first come, first serve. You and your partner are lucky today! Please let me know if you need anything!" After a few moments, Seto was able to collect his thoughts as he calmed down, there wasn't any way the elderly woman could catch him off his guard unless Alia teamed up with her and did something extreme but he was sure she wouldn't do such a thing. Completely calmed again with his usual self-personality, Seto eventually walked back to the elderly lady. "Sorry about that ma'am, If you could, please help Alia with her clothes before you help me, I can wait awhile being a gentleman."
The Elderly Lady smiled at him after hearing his response, "Of course Sir." Seto then looked over his shoulder for Alia. "Let me know if you want my opinion, apparently women tell "Ryosuke" that he's good at picking out clothes for them or know what looks good on them.....Of course I don't see it that way but Ryosuke learned not to argue."

The Tailor shop wasn't as big as the shops back in the real world but it was large and that was something surprising to Alia. But she was happy to see that the shop had a section for each gamer and their gender and she was glad to see some of the fabrics that they had in the real world. She took a moment to smile at the Elderly woman who ran the shop. She was happy they were the first ones in there. It meant they had first pick and the shop would look just like the found it when they were done. After all they were not heathens or anything like that. The next words out of the woman's mouth had her eyes go wide but she mainted her composure a little more than Seto did. She wasn't his girlfriend. She's never had a boyfriend before he was just a really good friend. At least that's what the point was at this moment. She really had never thought of anyone like that. Maybe because her parents pretty much told her to merry rich and merry who they wanted too but that wasn't what she was going to do.

She very gently smiled at the Elderly woman. "Ma'am we aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. we are just friends. We only met a day ago." She had to remember a day had already passed in this virtual world but it had not passed in the real world for her just yet. It would be late at night when she signed off. She took a moment and thought for a second when she was allowed to look around at what was available. She wasn't sure what she was thinking about at the moment. She needed to find something practical to be wearing. And well maybe cute. Granted she didn't know why she needed it to be cute and practical. She was thrown off by the woman and her words and the feelings she had that she was trying to figure out as well. One thing at a time. She smiled at Seto when he spoke about possibly being able to be someone she could show off what she was thinking about too. "Alright, but only if you wanna see." She said with a small smile on her face. There was a blush of soft pink on her cheeks too.

She went off to choose a few things and then headed for the back of the store where the changing room was. She took a deep breath. For trash teir clothing it actually looked cute. The first outfit made her somewhat look like a princess and she wasn't sure it was all that practical but she could fight in a dress so it wasn't that off really. The second looked a little more practical made not like armor but looked close enough that it might be. She wasn't sure if she liked what she was looking at so after showing him the first two she had she went out and found a few more things that might be a little bit better. After all this was a fantasy world and she needed to find something a little shorter than she had looked at previously.

She hated shopping for being a girl but hey she might as well find something totally her. The third one she found made her feel a little bit better and looked actually alright on her but she wondered if the next one would look better. She shrugged and went back to trying on clothes. She kinda wanted to know what Seto thought of the first three before she went and did the rest she had found. God did she hate doing this.

OOC: I typed this on my computer then scanned it and posted it through my phone. sorry for keeping you waiting, my service is down due to flooding my area.

“oh?“ He raised an eyebrow at Alia's commet as he rested his right hand on his waist... Alia only wanted his help if he agreed to it , he couldn't exactly say he was the biggest fan of shopping or helping out women picking clothes out. He didn't take Alia as a normal girl who liked to shop, well maybe if it was Katana's then he could totally see her getting giggling over that but this, this was just clothes. of course themore he thought of it , a mischevious smirk ran among his face after a minute she told him . Seto walked up to the female changing room after Alia went inside, lifting his left arm up, he opened his UI and swipped to plug ins, taping on his youtube application, he typed in a song before scrolling down the video‘s until he found the one he wanted. He opened the video, he turned the volume down so that only he could hear it as it started to play "Hit me with your best shot by Pat senator". Waiting until the right moment, Seto turned the volume dial to max as the song got to the Lryics “HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!....OH WHY YOU HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!". As soon as that part of the song was over, Seto closed the plugin and the UI, causing the video that was playing the song to end immediately. He knew was going to be tortured somewhat out of this ideal but at least he was determined to have some fun out of it which probably reliefed Alia somewhat since she didn't want to torture him either. Seto smirked as he raised his voice to something playful as she was trying to don some sort of clothing, "How was that for an answer?"

It had taken Alia a few minutes to don her first outfit, Seto wasn't sure if she needed the help to put whatever she was putting on but after thinking about it, he didn't want to get smacked for accidently seeing something, he knew Alia wouldn't smack him under normal circumstances but this would probably be more be more of a natural reaction without any thinking involved. when she finally walked out of the changing room, his eyes widened quite a bit, an early medevial dress was not a piece of clothing he was expecting from Alia. It was all one piece, made of cotton or silk, it was long with it's sleeves but it's skirt came all the way down to the floor, definitely not something pratical for Alia but it was nice. Seto kept his smirk on his face as he approached Alia, He bowed like someone of nobility or a knight showing respect. Grabbing her hands with his own and forming them together, he gazed into her eyes with his serious tone "You know if your going to be a princess, your going to have to be my princess no exceptions. Am going to have to take you to a ball room and slow dance with you if you decide to dress like one.". After that his eyes drifted away from hers as he gently released his hands from her's, pulling away. Seto took a seat as Alia walked back into the changing room again. This time it only took Alia a minute or two to change as she walked back out in a completely different outfit from before, something far more practical for traveling and exploring. The outfit did look like it could pass off as armor but anyone with a real brain could easily figure out it wasn't armor if one paid enough attention to detail. of course for now it only mattered if Alia herself liked it enough to wear it. As for Seto, it was practical for traveling so he didn't see anything wrong with it when she asked him for his opionon "It's alright, it's not exactly the cutest thing but it is practical for traveling and exploring which is the most important part.". Seto couldn't tell if she liked his answer or not considering she went back in again, this time it was a bit longer then before, a few minutes before coming back out again. This time was something in between, it was like a short dress of sorts while still looking practical. Seto scratched his head in confusion, why did women have so many different styles in clothes? In real life, he literally wore the same thing and many women found him attractive or in general found him professional looking but women fashion was just something he couldn't wrap his brain around. "The third not bad Alia, am not sure exactly what it is but from the looks of it, as long as you don‘t do anything crazy in it, it looks like it will hold up." of course that answer didn‘t help either as she shrugged her shoulders and went back in the changing room again, Seto sighed as he began thinking this might take awhile for Alia to find that "perfect outfit", maybe she needed some advice on what type of clothing to pick out?

Seto felt she was picking things out that were too fantasy or medieval like, styles he thought didn't fit her. She might be an american but she had the heart of a japanese person, Seto was sure of it. Pushing down on his legs to get up from his seat, Seto walked over to the hanging room and knocked on the wood next to the curtains that was hiding her from him and possibly the world " Alia, it's me, perhaps your thinking this the wrong way? I personally believe you should pick something a wive of a japanese samurai would wear, what a Onna Bugeisha would wear or perhaps something Japanese in nature. You know you look attractive in anything you wear within reason so you don't need to get stressed over this 0k?" Seto then chuckled a bit "Besides you don't like playing dress up with me? after all you get to see Mr. Handsome next." he then let out a sigh, returning to his normal self before he spoke a final time before taking a seat again. "Don't take me so seriously Alia, just trying to make something fun out of this, I can kinda tell your like me, you don't like clothes shopping."
