001.

[volcanic]

[ After being here for a while and keeping a low profile, Iceland hs finally gotten bored enough to try The Wonderful World of Soloing. Well, he really just wanted a change of pace from the eternal twilight of Mac Anu, but the problem of being a low level Cleric presented itself pretty quickly after he made it out to the field. Because he really can't defeat monsters by himself.

However, being the stubborn guy that he is, he pushed on anyway, skirting around areas with enemies-- and for that matter, players. Any time he saw a party or real soloers, Iceland just went the other way. This is embarrassing, but again, he's stubborn and doesn't want to go back to town right away. He'll enjoy this nice scenery for a bit! By which I mean, find a spot to sit down and look rather put out about being a class where his only strength is helping others, and not himself.

Alas, his life is so hard.

But since he's out here, and maybe you're out here too-- approach: yes/no? ]

[uwawa]

Atchh~u!

[ if by approach you mean sneeze and appear in front of. Iceland you can't avoid people who appear without warning. She does a confused roundabout turn. ]

Huh? Again? Is it happening more often lately? I wonder if I caught a cold...

Oh! Hello, there!

[volcanic]

[ Well this is unexpected. To say the least. ]

Uh... hi.

[uwawa]

[ she looks around again, is this a place someone normally sits? ]

Are you waiting for something?

[volcanic]

No... I'm just sitting here. [ He says this almost a little defensively. Like, you're not going to make him move, are you; he was here first anyway!! ]

[uwawa]

Sitting here? [ she turns and starts to... mumble. ]

Maybe like the hall? Oh, is the stone tablet here? But that's not right, the one waiting there should be-- um. Huh?

[ turn. headtilt. ] You're sitting alone?

[volcanic]

Looks that way. [ Kind of humors her and looks to the left, and then the right. Although, his tone was still pretty deadpan. Iceland's not sure what to make of this girl... ]

[uwawa]

Um. [ sits down too? People shouldn't sit alone, maybe. ]

I wonder if I'm waiting for something...

[volcanic]

[ He scootches away a little bit. ] Do you need something?

[uwawa]

[ she considers that quickly. ] I'm a little bit hungry. But I don't think I need anything?

[ she is just sitting here. ]

[volcanic]

You should eat something if you're hungry.

[uwawa]

I could eat all day if I ate whenever I was hungry! [ teleportation burns a lot of calories or something. ]

[volcanic]

[ If only Iceland knew. ] Do you get bored a lot or something?

[uwawa]

Eh? No, everything's so incredible! It's really distracting actually... I'm always forgetting something...

[volcanic]

Did you get distracted out here, too? Not much too look at after awhile, though.

[uwawa]

Yeah, I did! I think I was um... Was I going somewhere?

Why are you sitting here? [ maybe if she knows why you're sitting here she'll figure out why she's sitting here. ]

[volcanic]

Bored, I guess. [ Have a halfhearted shrug. ]

[uwawa]

Oh! [ she's quiet for a moment and enjoys the... sitting? ]

Um, is this supposed to be fun?

[volcanic]

Not particularly. But I've been walking around a lot. [ He turns to her. ]

Why're you sitting here, anyway?

[uwawa]

Oh, you're tired! That makes sense.

Huh? Um...because you are? I don't like sitting alone... [ so she thought that maybe he doesn't like to sit alone either. ]

[volcanic]

Don't you have a party or something? [ While Iceland's acting a bit cold (no pun intended), he is a little concerned but is trying to act apathetic to cover it. It may or may not be working. ]

[uwawa]

I don't! Not right now. Um...I don't think I've found who I'm supposed to fight for this time yet.

Or was there no one like that this time...

[volcanic]

Don't think you'll find them sitting here. [ Pause. ]

But then again, maybe you're better off that way. [ Not fighting, that is. ]

[uwawa]

Usually they're right there though! [ so even she's smart enough to realise it's probably not going to happen in this place. ]

E-eh? But I don't like being alone!

[inhearts]

[ Oh, another player and someone she hasn't met yet. Minako will approach with a smile. ]

Hello! I'm Arisato Minako. Do you want to team up?

[volcanic]

[ The question throws him off guard, but no matter...! ]

I wasn't really looking for anyone. [ Clearly, as he's just sitting there like a bump on a log. ]

[inhearts]

[ She tilts her head curiously at that. ]

Is something wrong?

[unluckyprince]

[Marth's doing well enough on his own as far as combat goes, but something about going solo is a little unnerving to him. It doesn't take him long to gravitate to this other player]

Ah-- excuse me, do you have a moment?

[volcanic]

Depends what for.

[unluckyprince]

Oh-- erm... if it's too much of a bother I'd understand, but I'm looking for someone to partner up with for this, er... field, I think they call it?

If you're interested, of course.

[volcanic]

This is a field, yeah.

[ He takes a moment to contemplate the offer. Hmm. ]

...I take it you want me to follow you around and heal you and stuff?

[unluckyprince]

Well, that would be extremely helpful, yes. [a soft chuckle.] But really, even just someone to walk with would be fine. It just seems rather odd to explore this place alone.

[noisyclockhands]

[ Would you call it approach if you suddenly find yourself bowled over by one (1) bunny-boy? {See, we said that it is kind of problematic when those appear without having to be pulled out of top-hats but nobody wished to listen...}

in any case, you will probably find yourself very much pancake'd. Ooops?]

Ahhh-- I thought that I'd seen someone skulking around here-!

[volcanic]

[ That definitely catches Iceland off gaurd, and after some useless flailing, he comes to his sense and tries to push... whoever (whatever?) this is off. ]

I'm not sulking!
