Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Soran sent her message and looked at all the clothes, she heard Ruqua's words. "What's that?" She tilted her head. Maybe she missed something. At that moment, another girl came in. She had short black hair with green tips, green eyes and pale skin. Her embroidered jeans were topped by an enormous black belt and a bright green tank top. A dark green blazer was carried over her shoulder, and her shoes were covered in mud, but it could easily be inferred that they were green too.
She snuck up on Soran, suddenly jumping on her back. "Arty!" Soran sighed, "Jenn, you're heavy."

Jenn jumped back off. "Sorry. You're still a lightweight." Soran only stuck out her tongue. Jenn finally noticed the other girl in the shop. "Hi."
Soran decided it was time for introductions. "Ruqua, this is my best friend in real life, Jenn. Here she's known as...what was it again?"
Jenn sighed. "Terrania, Arty, Terrania." Soran looked at her. "When are you going to drop that ridiculous nickname?" "Never!" Jenn grinned. She stuck out her hand. "Nice to meet you, Ruqua. I'm glad you took care of Arty while I was gone. Wow, level 10? I've only played a couple days and I'm only level 3. But maybe that's cause I'm a Wavemaster." She grinned again.
Soran rolled her eyes. "Anyway, Jenn, Terrania, whatever, this is Ruqua, and she's shown me the ropes. And I'm Soran." She stressed it in case her friend wanted to pretend she didn't hear.

"Wow, was that a coincidence that you both have some blue hair?"
"Yes, and besides, hers is lighter, and I only have streaks."
"Yeah, yeah. So what are you guys doing here?"
"Getting my vest patched up."
"You always were accident prone."
"Shut up."

Soran leaned against the counter.
"You should come out with me and get some food. I can pay."
Too tired to argue, Soran sighed. "Fine. You should come with us, Ruqua."

"Actually, you could help me. My jacket sleeve is ripped to the shoulder. Stupid bugs."
Soran's eyes widened. "...Bugs? Where?"Jenn got a wicked look in her eye. "Are you still scared of bugs? Well, then I shouldn't invite you to the Asia server. They're all over." She was lying, but she loved getting a rise out of the reserved girl.
Soran still hadn't learned when Jenn was lying. "Really?" She then stopped. "Wait a minute. Are you telling the truth?"
Jenn simply started to whistle. Soran rolled her eyes.

Distant Aqua Grunt: What is it Red King? Oink!

I walk upto Kite and the grunt

Me: Uhh.. What's this then? I'M the Red King here..
Oh I see now.. You're that guy Balmung talked about!
Kite: What you mean?
Me: That grunt is using MY name on YOU

I push Kite aside

Me: Listen PIG! I'M Red King in case you didn't notice the name badge here..
You might wanna get things streight when you talk to little runts like him.
Kite: (While getting up) I aint a runt!
Me: Care to try proving it? You! Me! Right now!
You pick a keyword and I'll join.. We fight THERE!
I'll gather a nice little witness crowd, but don't worry they won't have you!
They'll just be there for the show.

Kite stays in thought for a few minutes before making his descision.

Kite: O.K then, let's go to the beginner's town and i'll tell you the keyword there
Me: Fine by me just be fast about it

I take the transporter into the first town

Kite: O.K let's duel in Hidden Forbidden Holy ground.
Me: (rolling eyes) Wow what a pic, of course you'd go for a fight by the statue of Aura. Alright let's go!

Me and Kite Both take the transporter to Hidden Forbidden Holy ground with mine and Kite's friends following and taking bets.
I spot Balmung at the back.

Me: Hey Balmung come over here a sec!
I'll bet you 100k gold that i beat the snot out of your little buddy Kite here.
Care to even?

Balmung puts down the 100k gold bet on the ledge with a raise of another 50k

Me: Ha so you're feeling confident that he'll win are you?
Balmung: Well just don't forget he carries the Book of Twilight.
Me: oh yeah i almost forgot.. That'll make a good gamble for me,
YO KITE! I BET ALL THE MONEY THAT AINT GOING OUT ON MY BET WITH BALMUNG THAT I WIN.... And if I DO win, you have to give me the book..

The crowd starts getting louder in conversation after a moment of shock-silence.

Balmung: (shaking his head slowly) I just had to open my mouth....
