[ LEVEL THIRTEEN - BGM13 - STATUS: ??? - UPDATE ]​

Turning to a new voice Anthony noticed a girl speaking to him. Her words were rather quiet but he managed to make out that she was asking about the events going on. At least she wasn't a NPC, by the looks of it.

There are no such things as NPCs in the real world.

"Not a clue," a blunt and honest reply.

Realizing that her hair couldn't have been thoroughly combed through he began messing with his own hair. Before he hadn't bothered, but now he realized it's been ages since he took care of it, leaving it in its bed head state for days now. How awful. At least it was short and normally messy anyway so maybe no one notice.

Seeing that she was still there attention shifted back to the unknown girl. Had they met before? It felt unlikely but he had to know for sure now. After all many students roamed these halls now and she had came up to him while there were others around to ask. Perhaps it was a part of the event.

Stupid. This isn't a game.

"Hey, what's you name?"

"Hayden is out of the match."

As she heard Asura's announcement Scarlet rose to her feet. It seemed that the girl's HP was red now, and since they didn't want anyone dying here that was it for her. Now it was four against one.

Turning to Kaito she raised her sword before slashing it down to her side, a movement which readied herself. "You can still quit, you know. Unless you want to take both of us and the wolves on."

Note. Where's the note?

It had not been long since his awakening, and already he was in a panic about losing the gifts and note. Though after hanging off of his bed the bag was clearly visible. All was left was the note.

While still hanging upside down he reached out and shuffled through his belongings before finally finding his jacket and withdrawing it. Inside a pocket was the Master of Logic's note, safe and sound. Though a little crumbled now.

Wait. What's that? There seemed to be a commotion in the halls now and a distant sound, however he could not place what it was. However his interest was not in it as he was focusing now.

Spoiler

Dear bro,

I've been thinking about how I haven't been treating you really well recently. Or ever.
Sorry about everything, kid.
I think I'm growing to really think of you as cool.
Don't let the others put you down, 'kay?
I bought this game so you can understand two things about life:
1. Life isn't always a game, and you have to take it seriously sometimes
2. Because life isn't a game, you should cherish the games and fun and creativity you do have, because life would fucking suck without them

I hope you like this game. It got like, 98 on Metacritic or something. Haha.
I hope we could play it together sometime too.
Remember to use the hammer on the dragon in the sixth level.

- Master of Logic

Before he was not sure if the guy hated him or not, though this proves he at least did not think highly of Anthony. It was easy to ignore the obviousness of this before, though that hardly mattered anymore. He was becoming cool in Cherno's eyes, the old Cherno anyway. It was near impossible to know what the new one thought of him. Would it matter? It says don't let the others put you down. That had to mean the new Cherno as well, though that didn't seem to be a problem. Hopefully not, anyway.

That was not even the important part. He had to take life seriously now.

Now was one of those times where nothing seemed like a game, so it was easier to consider this. Was the time for play over? It probably was past time, though for sure now... But it also says to cherish these things about himself.

Rolling around in his bed he soon fell out of it, though on purpose this time, and landed on his feet. What about a list?

Spoiler: Things to take serious

• Death

Abby, Thomas, Ash and Xavier were gone for good. He wouldn't see them again so it'd be easier to crush the hope of saying hello to any of them ever again now.

• Elizabeth

What had she done? It was obvious something of great importance had happened but all Anthony got was 'they are dead because of you.' Her friends were dead? He didn't...do anything... Never would he tell her to kill someone, either. So how did this happen? He would have to find and ask her.

With a blank stare his eyes fell upon the floor. For a while he just stood there like this before snapping to his senses and exited the room. As that was no longer lingering over him, though still processing in the background, he decided that he wished to know what was going on. This lead him to the hot springs, though only as far as to the entry ways of the locker rooms.

It seemed, that whatever had happened, happened in the hot springs. Though instead of going in he drifted about, trying to figure out what was going on. And soon he wasn't the only one, as more people began showing. The staff was probably about as well, trying to keep things maintained. Some had to be heading in by now, too, right?

At this rate he would just have to stick around and wait to overhear the news or something, as he lost his chance to find out himself from being too unwilling to enter the women's section.

[ LEVEL TWELVE - BGM12 - STATUS: SLEEPING - UPDATE ]​

As he was waiting he decided that the bed was not the best place for the bag and his belongings. Too open, not safe. Nowhere was really safe, but he figured under the bed which he took would be fine enough. At least for one night, so everything went there.

After it was safely tucked away the boy found himself changing into a white tank top and changed out his shorts before burying himself under the covers. They were thick, warm, and enough to completely hide under.

It felt safe here, even though it was not his home. Actually, now that he thought about it he never felt safe at his house. And now it didn't seem like he had no reason to go back there. But where would he go then? It felt hard parting with his systems and games, even if they were ruined now, but at least he would have a place where future ones could actually be used. Especially his new game.

...Maybe Brian could tolerate him a bit more. Or somebody else. Who knew... Let that be tomorrow's issue though.​

​

For now he thought back to the note. Cherno's note. Life's not...always a game. He should consider this, and the rest of it, sometime.​

​

Thinking about how life would work out now and what exactly his sister did was exhausting and created a quick route to a dreamless slumber.​

​

​

The cabin was a mess. Did someone have a freak out in it? No one confessed, but who else would have come here? It didn't much sense for someone else to have done it, and she was already wary of some people of her group. So with her, and others, convinced that it was one of them who caused the mess but with no one wanting the blame on them tension was high.​

​

She would have stuck around to fight all day, but after that phone call she really wasn't in the mood. So instead Daniel exited the premises and decided to go out on her own. Seriously, sooner or later she would have fun with theft but it seemed it was just another bump and snatch day.​

​

Uneventful, to say the least.​

​

With the day nearing a close she returned home and undressed for a shower. After that it was the usual counting routine, in which she found today's haul rather good. With this she was pretty set for the month.​

​

Extra money never hurt though.​

​

Either way she decided to sleep now, doing so in nothing but her under garments. It started off blissful, but as time dragged on she couldn't help to feel as if they totally missed something at the cabin. Something...dark... Something that didn't belong. Everyone must have been too busy fighting to notice it then, but now with her mind clear... Yeah, there had to of been something there...​

​

Tomorrow she would have to check it out.​

[ LEVEL TWELVE - BGM12 - STATUS: CONFUSED - UPDATE ]​

"I am calm," he shot Altair, before finally regaining a normal pose.

Wow he didn't know where to go from here. Harley's suggestion about getting to safety sounded like the smart thing to do, but the evil witch stood in his way to the exit. So for now he would just remain put.

The two seemed as if they were ready to leave, but before they did Harley - Mr. Motorcycle? - asked something else. "Yeah," Anthony replied, "the cunning, mischievous sirens." Though before he could go on it seemed like the two were gone. This just left him in an awkward state as he stood there, unmoving and lost.

Maybe...he'll go back to the topic before? Oh, speaking of it seemed Cherno was moving towards him. What's this, a hug? It felt impossible to react, really, and for the most part he remained frozen. Though near the end of the embrace he did manage a smile and a pat on the back for the Master of Logic.

"I'm fine." He replied, still trying to make sense of it all. Had Elizabeth really done something awful? Sure she was wicked scary, like Temperance just was, at times but...to go that far...because of him? Was it really his fault?

Ah, finally a goal. To get some sleep, that sounded lovely now as his energy levels were nearly depleted. He'd even be bunking with Cherno, it seemed. "Well my room is 394, and my stuff is already there. So if you can't remember yours meet me there."

The next act lifted the hero's mood greatly. A task presented to him! His grin was full and he eagerly nodded. He even gave a quick salute. "Aye aye captain!" After the other's departure he quickly made his way to the bag, picking it up before moving into the locker room as well.

By the time he got there Cherno was gone, leaving him alone to dry off and put his shirt and jacket back on. Carefully did he gather the video game, returning it to the bag which he then held like scared treasure before making his way to his room. If anyone tried coming in to take Cherno's place they would get a screaming fit, since it was reserved. And reserved things were not meant to be taken by someone other than who they were reserved for.

Nodding at this thought he rest everything on the bed he had earlier claimed, shaking his head to further dry his hair.

Now...to wait.

[ LEVEL TWELVE - BGM12 - STATUS: YOU COULD OF KILLED ME - UPDATE ]​

There was no time for an answer, it seemed, as shouting broke up their conversation. Was that the Evil Temptress? She sounded really upset. She was scary when she was upset. However it would soon to be revealed that he didn't know the half of it.

"Get out," he echoed, floating around while trying to figuring out what was happening. But before he could it was silent once more. That was, until she came into the men's area.

Straightening himself he put his arms up defensively. "T-Temptbluujh." The sentence ended and was replaced with muffled sounds when his head was submerged. What the HELL?

Waving his arms above his head Anthony was desperately trying to find something to grab to help pull himself out of the water but no such luck was found. He only managed to come up for air once, for seconds, before going back under. With the water filling his lungs and her hands around his neck he swore things were blackening now.

It felt like it was over for him but seemingly at the last moment light returned to the boy's vision. Air did not though, not right away anyway. First his system needed to empty itself of the water so it was coughed up. And while that was happening his savior, who turned out to be Harley, was asking questions.

That seemed unimportant at the moment though, as he focused more on moving away from Temperance and getting out of the water first. "What did I do?" The words were choked out as he stumbled about. Though the real question was why didn't she just curse him or something. This seemed too direct for the witch.

Shaking from the near-death experience and with his eyes burning he turned to Harley again. "I don't know. I didn't do anything. She's just evil!"

While the urge to stay and fight Nequa was strong, it seemed like everyone was leaving instead. Knowing she'd just lose another one on one match with the masked foe she turned and swallowed her pride. Next time..

But before they could get anywhere their path was blocked and a suit of armour had dropped from seemingly nowhere. Well, this seemed troubling. At least the fox gave them some potions, that'd surely help down the line.

Ah, where to attack first... Oh, one of the animals picked for her. Following its lead Yana attacked the hands as well.

​

[ LEVEL TWELVE - BGM12 - STATUS: CONFLICTING - UPDATE ]​

He really lost his memory? Well that at least ruled out the clone theory. Oooh...bet it was the Evil Temptress. Why had his warnings gone ignored? Anthony did try his best to protect people from the dangers the world presented them but this demon was just too much for him. First she got the temptress and logic man together and then slain many of his classmates.

It was her doing...so maybe he should forgive The Archer... He hadn't been particularly mad at her in the first place, but since he had yet to see Abby return it's been hard making sense of everything. Was she really gone? No...that couldn't be right...

Shaking the dazed expression off of him he returned his thoughts to the issue at hand once more.

What was a Cherno? Good question. Though it was hard figuring out if it was a serious one or not. In any case he felt like answering either way. "It means black, right?" A glance was shot at Harley, though not necessarily for reassurance. Just to keep in mind that there were in fact three of them there.

The rest was kind of lost on him. He got the past life bit, with dread too, but nothing else really sunk in. To have a past life, well, wouldn't you need to die? In a sense, at least. But no one here could die. No one was dying.

Probably...would just be a new and improved Cherno! He evolved, okay that was better. Leveling up was great. Ah, but wouldn't that mean he needed a new title... Hm... Well for now it would remain the same.

Anyway it seemed like it was time to get in the water. Great! He's been waiting for this. "Hold on," he ran back to the towel area to put his present where it'd remain dry. But before putting it with his jacket and shirt he just had to check out the disk. After getting one scratched up CD it made him a bit paranoid.

So first went the plastic wrapping then with a pop the case opened. Oh look another note.

...

After reading it he just silently put it in the pocket of his jacket before returning to the others. Thoughts of it would come later, not now.

Ah...he was the only one still wearing shorts now. Would have been jeans, if he had time to change, but it turned out better this way. They acted like swimming trunks really.

It was a shame it was too shallow to dive in, so he had to enter the water carefully. But this fact did not stop the boy from swimming around once in it, making bubbles with his mouth as he pretended to be a fish. Harley was talking to the Master of Logic when he started this, so it was killing time. Plus it had just been what he wanted to do since he got here, so with his small attention span it was hard staying on task at the moment.

Though fish time ended and he rejoined the others after a lap around the pool, throwing his arms over the side before crossing them for his head to rest on. "So like...are you still Cherno or...are you someone else now? Least till you remember everything."

No snow here either. Seriously debating just covering my room with something like pillow fluff to make up for the lack of it.

i really though scarlet was going to get kaito's ribbon there but lol... would have let hayden get hers but iunno. i don't want this drag on either. depending on what happens scarlet may be out (shiina needed her revenge on mas. but hayden will be so cute happy from winning aw)

wow i'm rambling right now. just know if it sounds like i really want to win/lose i don't, really indifferent about the outcome. but what do you all think with who should win? and if you're okay with losing or not.

OH YEAHHH!! That's it, that's the tune!! You rock!! I'm blown away!

Darn. It was such a perfect chance...at least it wasn't a trap, as she bought into it so blindly. And now as she rolled in the dirt it seemed that Hayden was making another move.

Come on Shiina, where did you go? If it were not for the fact that the arm with the ribbon was on the ground she would have lost it.

I'm the guild leader here, if I lose, in front of a PK no less, where would my honor go? She thought, pulling up her sword to strike at Hayden without getting up first. Sure she could keep going for Scarlet's ribbon, but with what little HP the other had and with Scarlet's strength, an impale would mean a double knock at the very least.

With Kaito open now she lunged for the ribbon, ready to roll off to the side whether it was a miss or hit.

[ooc; short post but I want Kaito to be able to react, then Scarlet with react to Hayden then it'd return to normal turn based set up.]

Woo how sweet for them to get it for you. Those things are evil though.

Now I got Goofy's voice stuck in my head...oh dear.

Anyway...welcome Disney savvy mate. Hope your enjoy your time spent here in this humble forum.
