Eris woke refreshed, physically and mentality, after sleeping for the best part of the afternoon and went straight to the shower. Keeping her left hand away from the water was a real hassle, but Eris managed to even wash her hair, despite having shampoo on her eyes a couple times.

When Eris finished with her bath, she changed into an [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1411863]outfit[/url] that wasn't quite expected of someone who was one of the hardest to deal with females in the whole academy. Eris checked if she had everything she would need with her, before locking the door and leaving for the shopping arcade around an hour before the appointed time.

Upon her arrival, the first thing that Eris did was go to a drugstore and have her bandages changed. Actually, Eris thought of asking Cassandra to do that for her (mainly because of privacy), but decided to not bother the redhead girl with such a trivial task. After properly tipping the nurse who helped her (despite his initial refusal to accept the money), Eris left the drugstore and went to a bookstore.

[color=ffd700][i]"In this age when everything is done digitally, the mere existence of paper is a miracle,"[/i][/color] Eris thought. Nevertheless, that was a miracle that Eris appreciated and demonstrated that not all of the human species had lost to the World Interface yet. After skimming through the philosophy section, Eris got a copy of a book she had back in Germany, but wasn't able to bring with her on the travel and had almost forgotten about until her fated meeting with Cassandra sparked an unknown flame on Eris' chest.

Following that, Eris' next act was to go to the food court and secure a place on a small bench besides a flower bed. The German tsundere ordered a simple cup of black coffee with a trace of milk (to make it easier for her near-empty stomach) and a couple cupcakes, before she indulged in a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thus_Spoke_Zarathustra]book[/url] that few of her age even knew about.

All that was left to do now was wait until Cassandra O'Shera arrived.

The azure shooting star casually known as Absinthe Blue still streaked through the skies of the Faded City, admiring the world from an angle known by few, since the ability to fly is a rare gift among the Deep Ground players.

She kept soaring until eventually she came across a deserted section of the city where a lone player sat atop a roof, gazing aimlessly at the distant scenery. Judging from how he behaved, the handsome blonde seemed to be listening to music as well, which was a point that Absinthe shared with him.

Moved by curiosity, Absinthe lowered herself (not that she could fly much higher than a roof, anyway) until she was in the player's field of vision, only now reading his in game name. [i][color=0072bc]"Unrelenting Jukebox, huh? I wonder why that name sounds so familiar..."[/color][/i] Absinthe thought, remembering faintly that she might have heard something similar to that before, but dismissing her doubts since she didn't had a foundation to them.

Anyway, now it was time for Absinthe make her grand first impression, so she cleared her throat loudly and speaking only after she got Jukebox's attention. [color=0072bc]"Greetings, fellow player! I, Absinthe Blue, have come to grace you with my presence. May I ask what's the reason for your current actions, or better, lack of them?"[/color]

While Absinthe waited for Jukebox's answer, she noticed that Asahi was on line as well and decided to send a message to him, clarifying their plans for the evening:
[hr]
[b]From:[/b] [color=0072bc]Yuuno Kurogami[/color]
[b]To:[/b] [color=0072bc]Asahi Goroshi (Goroshi-kun)[/color]
[b]Subject:[/b] [color=0072bc]Tonight[/color]

[color=0072bc]Hi, Goroshi-kun. (Sorry, in the end I really think that Goroshi-kun is cuter. Xp)

I'm writing to ask you if a movie is alright for you? We can meet in the shopping arcade's plaza at 19:30.

Bye,

Yuuno.[/color]
[hr]
After sending the message, Absinthe checked her in game clock and noticed that she still had a good two hours before the appointed time. More than enough to do what she wanted to, in her opinion.

Now, the only thing left to consider was Jukebox, so Absinthe kept staring at him as she waited.
