[u]Floor 4 - Angel's Rest - Lvl 26[/u]

A warm breeze swept through the town as people hustled and bustled through the streets, talking and laughing as they explored the still fairly-new town of Angel's Rest. She looked down into the crowds from her perch on the top of a hill just outside of town, smiling fairly as the golden rays of the sun rested on her cheeks. [i]The fourth floor... Finally![/i] It had taken them awhile to make even this much progress, and though she was a bit dismayed at how much effort it had taken, she allowed herself a moment of peace to bask in their new accomplishment. [i]The World Walkers are keeping a steady pace behind the frontrunners. Good. Like this, we'll be able to provide for everyone. And we have the resources...[/i]

Over the past few weeks, they had made quite a few connections with vendors and suppliers and the like popping out of the game. Many players had begun to take their businesses seriously as they finally sunk into the reality of the situation. Cinera was still secretly frightened, herself, but a newfound confidence had taken hold of her the more they progressed through the game. They had a couple close calls, but ultimately they had been able to protect everyone in their guild. Delcastle was busier than ever, but Cinera was proud to be part of his team, helping to bring support to the players who needed it. More than anything, he seemed to rely on her more, which made her very happy. A slight crimson appeared on her cheeks as she thought about him, and a pang touched her heart.

[i]I... I need to get back to work.[/i] Swiftly, she ran and leapt from the top of the hill, sliding down the side of it on the soles of her shoes. Her orange, tangled hair whipped in the wind behind her as she moved toward the town. Her task today was to check in with the shop owners of the new area, as many of them were new merchants deciding to open up here, permanently. This was a good time to start up networking, to keep bonds between here and the upper floors as they progressed. Some players had already given up on advancing, but they wanted to keep them informed as they moved further into the game. Even more so, the resources from lower floors might differ from those above, so certain items may only be able to be created down here - they needed to have access to all types of items, in case they were needed to progress.

Cinera had returned to town in a flash, now calmly walking into the crowd of people in the streets. Their guild mates were all accomplishing their own feats, but she couldn't help to wonder what had happened to those old men, or the girl with the eyepatch and their team. After completing that quest, they seemed to practically vanished. The oldest gentleman was a guild leader, right? She couldn't help but to think about them in this crucial time, after yet another large achievement. As well as the young man with the jackal, or his friend. But of course, her mind drifted back Delcastle and the task at hand. [i]I'll have to find some time to explore, tonight...[/i][/color]
