[center][h2] Rentarou "Ren" Kusabe[/h2][b]Interating with:[/b] [@Polaris North][@ERode][/center] "[i]This might take a while.[/i]" Ren thought as he watched the old Knight vanish into the floating light. [color=00aeef]"Hey, good job out there. Your arrow just blasted through that guy!"[/color] Ren almost jumped in surprise. He was too consumed in watching the Knights transporting the corpses that he didn't notice the girl with the dagger sneaking up on him. She began to introduce herself as Erika. Ren nervously scratched his elbow where she touched him, "Um, t-thanks I guess. M-my name's Kusabe Rentarou, you can call me Ren. Nice to m-meet you." He bowed too quickly that his head hit Erika's shoulder, "A-Ahhh! I-I'm sorry!" He can feel his face flush in embarrassment, suddenly realizing fighting monsters is easier than interacting with people. After a couple of more awkward apologies, Erika began to ask him to look into a skill she has. Ren gladly obliged, quite relieved to change the subject. "Y-you seem calm about... about all of these?" Ren made a gesture towards a couple of female Knights moving corpses using wind magic, "I didn't think it's possible at first, but it seems like we've been transported into a fantasy world... as in, like in games." Ren watched as one Knight lifted 4 Kobold corpses and toss it towards one of the floating lights without even breaking a sweat. "The thing is, I can only see your stats at the moment." Ren began to use the Appraisal Skill on Erika, a little surprised that now the skill's levelled up, the voice in his head didn't need his permission to activate the skill. Ren surmised he will be able to do more things with his skills if he keeps increasing their level. He began to talk about stats with Erika, going through them and explaining each as best as he could, "Well, that's just me thinking if this world follows the regular RPG rules. As for the skills, it's pretty vague even to me, but I'm guessing there must be some kind of a system that effects—" Ren was cut short when the rope lady came storming in towards them, [color=FF7F50]“You! Have you never eaten real food before? That was indescribably foul.”[/color] Addressing Erika beside him. "[i]Eat?[/i]" Ren thought. "[i]Does this have something to do with Erika's skill?[/i]" Ren watched as the rope lady gets closer, all the while giving Erika a disapproving stare. "Um, h-hello, my name's Ren. Nice to meet you." Ren said awkwardly.
