She was gone before monsters figured out whether or not they should attack, gone before sub-Level 10 players realized she was even there. Like a swallow, she sailed through the open fields between the Hill of Sorrows and the Endless Green, her long hair streaming behind her like a lilac mantle. Some people would think of themselves as ‘late’. Others would be anxiously pushing themselves past the brink of exhaustion to show up on time. But as her long strides shot her through the landscapes of Genesis, Cecilia didn’t care for any of those things. The runner’s high and the euphoria that accompanied it, endorphins pumping through her virtual veins to light her electronic mind ablaze, was more than enough to quell any thoughts like that. Karuu had messaged her a couple days back about the raid on the Floor Dungeon, and with such a big event happening, there was no way the Lancer planned on missing it…but she also wasn’t inclined to bother showing up to the briefing beforehand either. Strategy was fine. Tactics were fine. But they also meant having to micromanage the ego of manchildren, and there was no way in hell she was going to suffer through that. A final Sprint and she could see the other players convening below, her chest rising and falling evenly as she sped up further, amber eyes now flickering about in search of her partymates. Thank god for Prome and Zks, really. Hair as white and fluffy as theirs was so easy to spot in a sea of black and browns. Slowing to a jog, then to a fast walk, Cecilia took a few seconds to touch up her appearance once more, blotting off sweat, rearranging her cloak, retying her ponytail, taking a drink out of her waterskin to clear her throat, before closing her eyes briefly to envision a facade. A cool, competent beauty, dignified yet prideful. [color=FFE4E1][b]“Karuu,”[/b][/color] Cecilia said, nodding once at the Marauder. [color=FFE4E1][b]“Is everything in order? Have equipment and potions to last?”[/b][/color]
