It's a Con-spiracy! [P]

Parfait stared at the interface that floated above her hand quietly. Her lips pursed in thought before she slowly scrolled through it. Being the new player that she was, the girl was trying to memorize all the choices and paths in the menu. Parfait didnt want to be caught unaware in a tough situation. That, and she didn't have anything else to do while waiting for her party members to show up.

Was finding party members so easy? There had to be a catch... Maybe they would show up and be completely intolerable. The girl let out a soft sigh as her eyes shifted up to the sky. This game was too good to be true. She wasn't sure this was going to end well. Things that were too good to be true never did, right?

Parfait leaned up from the fence she had been resting against. Her eyes shifted down to a puddle left by earlier rain. This game was too realistic. There was the fresh sensation of a rain just passed, and she could see her reflection in the puddle. Her character's more angelic features and light coloration than her real self were a bit jarring at first. It felt like she was staring at a stranger, so it was kind of off putting that it was technically her.

The girl shook her head, trying to shake off the feeling of unease before stretching while waiting at the corner the party had agreed to meet at.

@Kyupin Felnya @Tyris Ferrell

 

She was still angry. Heck, she was even furious. How could somebody go around deceiving people, preying on hopes and dreams, and just live with themselves? She chewed on her lower lip, looking very much like a petulant child who was just denied extra candy. At least there were other people who were equally livid.

Or who wanted that extra cash. Kyupin shook her head. Her party members were probably good people seeking justice for the unfortunate wronged. At least, Kyupin hoped so.

She flicked open her interface again, scanning the party group listing. "Tyris Ferrell and," she giggled, "and Pa-Parfait Souffle?" She looked around cautiously, in case said Parfait was nearby and heard her laughing. It was rude to laugh at a name. Especially one that sounded so... delicious. She quickly scrolled over to her cooking recipes, wondering if she'd discovered a parfait recipe. Or maybe she could try making one by herself? Hmh.

As she mused over potential meals and how to make use of the game's cooking system, Kyupin came closer and closer to the agreed meeting point. Her eyes lit up as she noticed somebody already lurking there, their silhouette faintly outlined in the party-member-blue.

Trotting closer, Kyupin came to a full stop, just out of the other girl's personal space. "Hello," she smiled, "I am Kyupin Felnya." Even though she could see their name floating idly above their head, she stretched out a hand.

"And you are?"

@Tyris Ferrell @Parfait Souffle

 

A wagon loaded up with barrels rattled its way down the road from Stokbon. Slowly, the lid of one of the barrels slid off and Tyris poked his head out from inside. He climbed out of the barrel quietly, then hopped off the wagon with a little roll and a grin. "Made it," he said, standing up from his landing and looking around at the unfamiliar town. "It's no Stokbon, but seems like a nice enough place. Now where was that shop?"

Though he only knew what his sister had mentioned when she overheard a couple of travelers discussing their questing options (they'd decided not to go through with it- their loss!), Tyris managed to make his way to the street corner where the others were waiting. "Hiya," he said as he approached the two in the middle of their introductions. One of them was a human, while the other was a fellow Felis. Both had that inexplicable aura about them that told the boy they weren't native to Falderen or thereabouts. "I'm Tyris Ferrell, from Stokbon." He found himself inspecting the Felis closely. She was definitely older, but... she was kind of cute, he thought!

(( @Parfait Souffle ?? Hoping you come back soon. Until then, I'm dropping this thread and popping it into my 'abandoned' list. When you come back, we can start again if I'm not at max capacity. Take care of yourself!! ))
