The next day, Shiho woke up with her dog, Shirou, licking her face. It wasn't her alarm, neither the sunlight going through the window that woke her up. No, it was her dog. And Shiho knew what that meant. [color=fff200]"Crap, I'm late!"[/color] She jumped out of her bed as fast as she could and got ready at the same pace. To be noted, Shiho has no sense of time, neither while sleeping nor when playing, hence why she is late from time to time. After eating a quick breakfast, just for the sake of breaking cliches of running out of her house with an slice of bread in her mouth, she was finally ready to go to college. 

What she had forgotten, though, was that her first lecture started a pair of hours later today, different to all the other days. She really had to do something about her old habit of waking up with the thought of her being late when her dog starts licking her face. No, even better, she should do something about Shirou, make him stop doing that. She was mostly satisfied with the excuse of a breakfast she had before, so she settled on having a coffee to help her kill time. Most of her friends weren't airheads like her, so she would probably be alone for a time. 

After remembering she had no money on her, though, she went to the nearest ATM, check if she had even something in her account, perhaps just enough for a coffee. When she checked it, she was surprised to see that all of her money was in her account yet again. Her parents didn't tell her anything, but she knew them all too well. She took out the money she needed and left for the cafe. [color=fff200]"Those tsundere parents. It kinda makes me want to see how they were when they were younger."[/color]

Later that day, and after working her shift, Shiho finally arrived to her house. It was around 7 when she arrived to her house. It was just about time for her to go into ALO yet again. She sent a message to her friends, seeing if any of them wanted to get in too. Unfortunately, all of them were too busy. Probably with their boyfriends or otherwise. It was really annoying... Then again, she could get together with the group from yesterday. She could see if any of them got any of the references she did yesterday, after all, they all were from borderline vintage games and anime (for the year they were in, that is). It'd be really cool if they got them. Besides, the group was also filled with girls. A rare sight in ALO, since Shiho thought her group was one of the few all-women parties you could find in ALO. There were some guys, but most of them were girls. At least, that was what she thought.

She laid down on her bed and took the Amusphere in her hands, putting it on her head and over her eyes. Her dog seemed really excited as it saw what Shiho was doing. [color=fff200]"I'll be back in a bit, Shirou. Take care of the house while I'm gone! Link Start!"[/color] Her vision was filled with colors and after a while, Shiho found herself in her player home, laying down. She was now in the body she felt most comfortable in, Shishirou.

She stood up from the bed and stretched out a bit. Ah, it felt good not having her feet so far away from her head. Now, what to do, send everyone a message? Wait, she didn't really send a friend invite to everyone yesterday... Still, some of them had already accepted her own, and a message had arrived for her. Maybe it was from one of the guys from yesterday? She opened it and saw that it came from the Cait Sith archer, Arina, directed to everyone. Well, she might as well go and spend some time with them. Alex also sent a message, saying he would also meet her later. She nodded happily. The group was coming together nicely. She opened the keyboard so she could reply. 

[B]Sure, let's meet up! I could really use some company right now, given that my usual group ditched me. o͡͡͡͡͡͡╮(｡>口<｡)╭o͡͡͡͡͡͡ ᵑ৹! 

Where should we meet?[/b]

She hit the send button after her message was all done with. Well, until Arina could answer them, maybe she should go to a local bar and play some music? Nah, it was Pooka territory, surely there were already one, or several people, there playing something. It was a bit heated, the battles between bard to take possession of a bar as their own. She preferred to skip on them for at least today and better fly at some neutral territory, where it would be stranger to see a Pooka. There, she could play whatever she wanted and no one would get rowdy. [color=fff200]"All right, let's go! Oh!"[/color] She opened her window, her wings all ready to take on the skies and then she jumped out of it. Luckily, she had learnt relatively quick how to fly without the assist control, so she at least had that going for her. She spread her wings and flew top speed to the nearest neutral town.
