[h3]Brandenburg[/h3] It was good that they both agreed, although Jarv's pessimism didn't help calm her nerves. Brandenburg paused mid-thought at the realisation that she had been thinking in feminine pronouns the whole time. Roleplaying was all well and good, but was it appropriate right now..? Then again, last thing Ryan wanted to do was look like a crossdresser by revealing his true gender. Alienating the only people he knew probably wasn't the best survival strategy. Anyway if they hadn't worked it out by now, they would eventually. She brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes as she thought it over and thus completely missed the laugh that set the others on edge. [b]'Wait, what?'[/b] She cast about in obliviousness, unsure of what Red meant by 'friends'. Monsters? People? Other (strange though it was to use the term) players/Adventurers? Nothing happened for a long moment, so she decided to take the initiative. [b]'... Whoever they are, I doubt they'll run up and punch us out of nowhere, eh [i]Mr Jarv?[/i]'[/b] And so she walked a few metres away from the two of them and raised her voice to their mystery guests. [b]'If you're friendly, come out. More the merrier, right? If you're not then... well. Please don't kill me.'[/b] The last part was delivered at a flat whisper.
