The Simulation [Inactive]

Ater laughed. The crazy could be heard in it, as subtle as a freight train. They walked off like cowards leaving him to the... Wait... They were the whole reason he wanted to train here... He needed someone to fight, and he couldn't do that with them gone. Grumbling, he began to walk in the opposite direction. Maybe he could goad some other players into fighting.


He did not feel tired, having not done much. His stars were rather well-balanced, so they didn't bother him.
 
Heading towards the people she saw Ruby called out, 'Stamina doesn't matter if you're a finisher in a team.'


She increased her pace into a jog as she made her way towards them.


She eyed the sword one of them held, It was bigger than her scythe!
 
rakia was laughing and about to reply when she heard a new voice. Her grin grew. "Hey thanks! Hear that, Atlas? Im the finishing act! Thanks, im Rakia." She said to the re riding hood looking girl with a gorgeous weapon.
 
From her hiding place, Karina looked at the guy in awe. He hasn't even broken a swear. I wonder if I'm that good at fighting.
 
'No problem, Ruby replied, 'A scythe is a good weapon, especially against lots of enemies but against a powerful enemy it's a pretty bad finisher. Too hard to hit the vital points all the time.'


She slowed down as she reached them, eyeing the guy with the gun. She didn't like the look of him but decided to let him have his say before she made any judgments.


(Ruby seems to like eyeing people)
 
Atlas eyed the girl quietly, stuffing his hand into his pockets quietly. Meeting all of these people was new to him, and he didn't know how to respond to anyone other then his father. So when the other girl approached he chose to not speak unless he was spoken to. So he listened to their conversation, interested in the information the red girl was providing.
 
Ruby noticed the silent boy looking at her, she noticed a flash of light as he put his hands in his pockets, she noticed his surgical mask.


'Are you some sort of doctor?' She asked, 'I'm Ruby, whats on your hands? What are you -'


Ruby fell silent, feeling embarrassed about suddenly gushing out all those questions.
 
Rakia nodded, barely keeping up with her tactician speak. She took a break, leaning against the wall and staringout at areal looking train into the wilderness sector, where animals are enemies as well. She felt her heart tingleand sound go funny and felt her hopes drop. No getting out of it, or away from it. Even in the one place everyone was superhuman. "We should try training again soon.. hm?"
 
Atlas' eyebrows knitted together in irritation, but once realizing this he relaxed his face quickly, whipping away any emotion that could have been shown. And chose to skip the questions and to simply introduce himself,


"Nice to meet you Ruby, Atlas Randal." He nodded a greeting before turning to Rakia,


"Yes. We should."
 
Ruby saw his face momentarily flash irritation, or was it anger?


Regardless she pushed on, 'So Atlas are you a doctor? Is that why you've got the mask?'
 
Closing her eyes and inhaling until she actually felt the satisfaction of air. Then she grinned, not too curious about Atlas. "Its rude to ask. Atlas is atlas. If hewas a surgeon, wearing a mask here would losemeaning.. right?"
 
Ruby decided Rakia may be right.


(pun)


'So who are the rest of you then?' Ruby announced without hesitation.


Subtlety had never been her strong point.
 
Atlas smiled lightly, silently thanking Rakia for what she had said. His smile unnoticeable behind his patched up surgical mask. It'd be long before he answered questions like that.
 
It took him a good minute to realize that he was walking in the wrong direction. He was going towards more city, as opposed to the wilderness. So, he flipped the gun over his shoulder into a more comfortable position and started on his way towards the edge of the city... And the other group.


As he got near he began to fall back. It is a sign of weakness and desperation to pursue them after he was already victorious in chasing them off. He tried to stay out of sight and move around them.
 
Rakia grinned at the train. "Should we save and log off? I feel like ive been here long." She was afraid of her body condition when she returns. She didntwant to leave though. She wished she could be there forever.
 
Atlas turned to Rakia, not wishing to go back home only to be put up to more school work and studying so he shook his head from side to side numbly.


"You may leave but I plan to stay here for a bit longer..." He muttered to her.
 
Rakia thought about it and shook her head. "Nothing back there. Not compared to this. Gosh, i sounded like my mom trying to be responsable." She joked. "Wanna search the fake forest? Or throw boxes again..?"
 
Axel bit his lower lip to suppress a bit of laughter before nodding.


"Let's explore the forest, maybe the travel will up your stamina." He thought out loud, before tugging the top of his mask up more when it felt as though it was falling.
 
'ooh exploring, can I come?' Ruby asked, 'I haven't been playing for very long'
 
"And... away we go! We areall noobs here. The best worst team ever." She said, enthusiastically entering the wheelless and railless transit hovering over the water. Its not that she didnt notice Atlases mannerisms, its that she didnt think he would want her to see them.
 
Atlas looked over at the Ruby girl once more before turning around and beginning towards the woods. She didn't seem that bad when she wasn't questioning everything about his existence. He hoped the others where following, his fingers tapping his thigh as they walked.
 
When entering the woods, a force field kept them at first, then scanned themand disapated. Probably to keep something in. "Wouldnt they have control of virtual animals?" Rakia asked out loud, marvellingat how real it all looked. Of course she wasnt sure itwas realistic as she didnt get to spend time in the wilderness. "Wow..."
 
Atlas placed his white palm onto the rough bark of one of the trees. The surface pleasing him, his father had never token him on trips to the woods like many others did. So the scent of new dew coating the floor they stepped on allured him greatly. This is one of the reasons he wished to come here, for the new experiences. And to be able to do things he knew he'd never be able to do in his real life.


"What a world they have created..." He spoke to know one in particular.
 
"Id live here.. i really would." Rakia said, resembling a child in a candy store. As an agility skill focus, it was paradise. She leapt onto a tree, then another. She landed impossibly not spending any time on one tree. Though she ended next to her companions.
 
Atlas wished to look up and watch Rakia jump and cling to things like the energetic monkey she was but knew she was wearing a skirt and didn't want to come off like that.


So instead he waited until she had re landed to look at her and ask,


"What's your agility and speed at?" His voice had yet to hold any actual emotion.
