Ryutaro nodded at Sasha’s introduction, glad that for despite how he had greeted her, things seemed to be progressing smoothly nevertheless.[b] “I suppose I was just lucky then,”[/b] he murmured, and thinking about the quest he had received now, he could say it was a fairly rare occurrence to stumble across someone’s lost purse. 

[b]“Huh… I was hit with ‘Headache’ for studying too hard apparently,”[/b] he muttered in an annoyed tone as he recalled the ringing that had hit him last night. [b]“Took some aspirin instead of just waiting it out, but the medicine cured the ‘status’ instantly. It’s what I meant by they seem to have been balanced a bit. I mean normally fatigue wouldn’t just fade away, it would get worse.”[/b]

Shrugging in response to her disappointed tone, there wasn’t much he could do about the situation. Despite how strange it was, he still had responsibilities and couldn’t just take time off to experiment. This weekend however… 

Before he could propose the idea to her though, Sasha yanked a number of paper napkins out from what looked like thin air, but Ryutaro knew to be her inventory. Already privy to the knowledge of their hyperspace inventory, he nevertheless had a brief moment of panic and motioned for her to stop. [b]“Stop that, what if someone sees?!?”[/b] While he was confident in people’s ability to dismiss and forget the unknown, he didn’t want to push his luck too much. 

Sighing a bit, he leaned back against the chair and threw out his idea. [b]“Anyways, I haven’t had much of a chance to explore this ‘system’ we’re under. Having someone else would probably be better than trying to figure things out alone, so are you interested Sasha?”[/b] Even if she wasn’t, she was still another <Gamer> so it would be useful to stay in touch. With that in mind, he briefly whispered under his breath, “Contacts, Friends, Acquaintances, .” Hopefully one of those would bring up a menu, and if they didn’t well then phones were still a thing.
