Hibiki had woken up late that morning. She had been spending some time on Deep Ground trying to get EXP, mostly from farming Dissolutions. For a while she thought she was getting a steady amount, but after a while she ended up getting no more EXP from the mobs she killed. She could have killed a hundred more, but they wouldn't have dropped anymore. She wasn't even 1/10 of the way there, forcing her to find new enemies. She kept fighting Dissolutions, trying to learn their patterns, before eventually calling it a night. When she logged off she went to go feed the cat she had found at school. Because her parents weren't around very often, Hibiki could get away with having pets. Apparently, the cat was called "Train".

After waking up sometime before noon, Hibiki went downstairs to watch the television. She missed most of her Saturday morning animes, but she liked the ones closer to noon anyways. The ones in the morning were sappy. As she watched TV, she ate microwaved pizza with the cat. She gave Train catfood, though he tried to eat her pizza too, which she stopped him from doing. [color=orange]"No, bad kitty! This is my pizza!"[/color] In the middle of her anime, she received a message from Corpse Collector. Apparently it was time. Hibiki gulped. Things have moved very quickly. One moment she was just a wannabe kingslayer, but now she is part of a bigger, darker conspiracy to kill the king. But this is what she wanted, wasn't it? People who also wanted to topple the black king and remove her from rule? At least that's how Hibiki saw it.

Hibiki saw the Black King as a dangerous wild card to the delicate balance in Deep Ground. Before the guilds never really "Fought" each other and just sorta had competitions. It was peaceful, and Smitten Kitten could use all the guilds to help her in Deep Ground. But ever since the Ebon Strykers came back, things have felt tense in Deep Ground. The Guilds aren't so friendly anymore. After their treasures have been stolen, Smitten Kitten has heard word that they are going to go to war. It was going to be a future of PvP, and Smitten Kitten didn't want to get caught in that. Low level players like her will only end up taking the worse of it as higher level players kill everyone indiscriminately. But if they took out the Black King before that could happen, than a full on war won't happen... Right?

[color=orange]"Go play outside, kitty. I'm going to lay down for a bit."[/color] Hibiki went to grab her favorite blanket, tossing it over her as she logged into Deep Ground.

Smitten Kitten looked around in Deep Ground. She was near the Faded City, where she was hunting down some Dissolutions. She heard fighting in the distance and assumed that it was other players doing their own hunting. Not wanting to get into trouble with outlaws or Sweepers, Smitten Kitten stuck to the shadows and sneaked out of the city. She needed to head to the Black Guild and get ready for whatever it was the Corpse Collector had planned there.
