"Not yet, though must of us are at the mid 90s in rungs. We should be able to ascend soon. That was our current goal, to scatter and ascend, before Derse can launch a second attack on Prospit."
Amanda roamed around the purple moon city. She didn't know if it had a name, she just called it the purple moon city. She waved at a few black chess people and also fending herself from the occasional mugger. Hmm...they seemed tamer than usual...
Amanda(Real self): Follow dream self
Amanda's unconscious body stood up and walked away, following whatever she was doing during her trip on Derse.
.......
Shadow: Worry
Shadow began to worry about the others. They've been gone a while. She hoped they were okay. Oh, what if they...huh?
Shadow: Be confused
She watched as Amanda get up. Had she woken up already? That was strange. Almost everyone else stayed there for at least a few hours....wait, what had she said? Watch her body? Oh! She sleep walks! So....she she stop her? Of course!
Shadow: Grab Amanda
Shadow stood up and grabbed Amanda's arm, watching her slightly struggle in her grasp. Just where was she planning on going?
"So, uhh... There's something you should know about the Denizens. They're, uhh... They're not hostile creatures, but if you attack them, they'll, uhh... fight back. And they're strong. Even Equius had trouble fighting his. So, uhh... The best way to deal with them is to, uhh... try diplomacy. If you convince them to help you, they'll give you a, uhh... a legendary item. Plus all the grist in their hoard, so you can, uhh... upgrade it further."
"I, uhh... have no idea what you're talking about. But befriending or defeating your Denizen should bring you straight to, uhh... straight to the top rung."
Shadow set her back down and used the wind to keep her still. She didn't want to keep holding her. That would seem weird when she woke up! And she would rather only answer to why she was stuck to a tree than why she was being held by a troll.
...........
Amanda(Dream self): Grow bored
Okay....now she was bored. She had floated and walked around the purple moon city, fought a few hundred black chess men, and even had a full on argument with what she assumed was an old man.
Amanda(Dream self): Fly back to room and Wake Up
Amanda flew back to her room, laying down and closing her eyes. This was when she was supposed to be waking up in the real world....guess she shouldn't have pushed it.....she groaned, knowing no one would hear her. There was no need to keep up appearances when she was alone. What was she going to do while she was here?
Teddysprite was watching nervously until he noticed Afrien wasn't doing anything. He usually loves fighting. He looked around and saw him lying on the ground. Uh...that could be bad....he floated over, picked him up, and carried him out of the forest. Hopefully that damn robo cat didn't do anything stupid.
He floated out of the forest and set him down. "Shadow, dear, could you please help him?"
"Yeah!" She jumped up and ran over. She soon started healing him, though her hold on Amanda broke. "Can you hold her? She sleep walks and I don't want her wondering off."
"Of course." He floated over and grabbed the already rising Amanda.
Oh, so he gets to leave just because a player got hurt? How pathetic! How lame! How unfair! And he was expected to stay here?!....he'd make sure to chew him out later.
Shadow giggled as she looked down at him. "That's what you get for overdoing it." She said, waiting a few more seconds before pulling away. "Do you feel any pain? Soreness?" She asked, looking at him with worry.
