No problem. I'm not having any specific person in mind with that post. To say the truth, I was hoping for them to become friends, you'll see why when Itsuko logs on DGO.

@KoL

Cool. I can't wait to see what sort of trouble we'll get ourselves into.

Wait. Don't tell me she's actually Corpse Collector?

<Snipped quote by Ryonara>

Hmm. This was unseen but Hibiki being there can work.

@TheWindel

Yeah, originally I was just going to have Hibiki at the gardens to talk to Asahi, but this was too good to pass up.

@Ryonara

SHITTY COPYPASTA MEME HOOOOOO!

@Lucius Cypher

Lol, thanks dood. Seeing that you have photoshop now, do you think you can make some crop circles for Hibiki and Kitten?

@KoL I hope you don't mind if Hibiki gets involved. I can edit it if you want me to.

Hibiki was out of class early on since she finished her project early. Where most students dedicated nearly all their time to Deep Ground, Hibiki actually remembers her studies. She had finished all her math home work, written her essay on Charles Darwin, did her project for Astronomy, and even blazed through her Computer Science class. Still, her grades weren't great; she did the work but she didn't always understand it. She's been meaning to meet with tutors for it, but instead of doing that she's been playing with her new pet cat. The little black cat named Train had been her only friend for these past few days ever since she found him at school. A frisky little animal who tried to explore every part of Hibiki's home, and shedding hair the whole time. It was a good thing her parents weren't home and that the house keepers were understanding, or else Hibiki might of had to return him to his owner. Today, Hibiki was going to go play with Train after school in the gardens. He seems to always be at school around this time, so Hibiki was certain that he belonged to one of the students. She kinda hoped that maybe the owner wouldn't mind if she kept Train. He's been so much fun to be with.

To her surprise, Train found Hibiki first. He also seemed to have caught a rat for Hibiki, who smiled, picked the rat's tail with a tissue paper, and tossed it outside. "That's dirty. Don't play with your food, Train." Hibiki picked up Train and walked down the halls to head to the garden. But before she could get there, she heard a small yelp. Curious, Hibiki and the kitten went to investigate and saw something scary. Four boys surrounding a girl, who looked really hurt. She had bandages and everything. She didn't know any of them; she hasn't seen the boys and the girl must be new. But one of the boys raised a fist as if he was going to punch the girl. Hibiki didn't know why he was doing this, but she had to do something. She didn't know what to do, but it had to be something.

So she just ran at them, taking her bag off and let Train go. She had no idea how to fight and compared to the girl, Hibiki was even smaller. But she couldn't just stand by and let this happen. With a cat-like tread Hibiki was able to run right up to the boy who looked like he was about to throw a punch, and she hit him in the head with her book bag, which had all her texbooks, notebooks, lunchbox, and stationary in it. "LEAVE HER ALONE YOU BULLIES!"

Godamnit! I've just read that last round of posts. I've fallen in love with Smitten Kitten, that's official now. Every time she opens her mouth I can't help but swoon.

I can't wait for when Eclipse Princess and Smitten Kitten will cross paths IC, she's quickly becoming the head of my fave lost for DGO.

@KoL

She seems to have a way to attract crazy.

The moment Catarina stuck her waterskin out for Vivian, Malkai used some sort of spell on the both of them. Suddenly it felt less hot and much more bearable. She wasn't even all that thirsty anymore. But then he had a bunch of water splash on Catarina and Vivian both. It it wasn't refreshing, Catarina would have been pissed. She didn't stay quiet though. "Kya! Stupid oaf! I swear if I had my weapons on me I'd stab you!" Followed with a chuckle, Catarina didn't really mean it. But she did stamp her feet against Malkai's back ineffectively, knowing that she wasn't really going to hurt him.

Vivian too a drink from Catarina's waterskin, mentioning that her gratitude was all she could give. And for a drow, that wasn't much. Catarina didn't really have a responds to that. If she was anyone else, Catarina would have said something like "It's alright, I trust you" or "I'm your friend, you don't owe me anything". But she couldn't. Vivian has so far proven to be nothing but loyal and dedicated to the group... And for a drow, that was odd. Maybe it was just Catarina being paranoid again, but she swears that Vivian was up to something. Vivian mentioned resting up for a bit to Malkai, making Catarina really wonder just how much trust was being passed around. For Vivian to go to sleep right now, she was making herself vulnerable to anyone who wants to take advantage of her. Not to say that Catarina wanted to, yet...

Looking over at Vivian, Catarina noticed how soaked she was. Those thin strips of cloth she calls "clothes" did nothing to protect her modesty. Catarina could see Vivian's bare skin through the wet strips, every bump and curve on her lithe yet supple body. Her skin, despite being darker than most, was like a beautiful ebony. Indeed, her body was beautifully shaped as if she was carved from wood by a master craftsman. Vivian's wet hair was as dark as night, but the water droplets reflected light as if they were stars. Catarina's breath quicken before she realized she was starting to become... Lustful. Averting her eyes Catarina drank what little of the water she had left, trying to focus more on other, more important things than Vivian's tantalizing body.

"It's a trick. That's how they get you. Kind words, a pretty face, a gentle touch... Don't let them use you again Catarina. You're better then that. You've already learned your lesson." Catarina said quietly to herself. She remembered a moment a short while ago, Catarina thought she was in love. But there was no love, just lust. Catarina gave herself to her lover and thought they were going to be together... But the morning after, Catarina was left cold and alone. She should have known better, she has seen similar things happen to her mercenaries she worked with. She joked at their expense at how they were tricked by a common whore out of their wages, but Catarina fell for the same tricks. She should have known better, but her own naivety thought she knew exactly what she was doing. but she wasn't going to make that mistake the second time.

Finally calming down, Catarina tried her best to keep watch. She tossed a silk blanket over Vivian to protect her from the sun as well as to make her comfortable. Catarina didn't know if drow skin gets sun burnt, so if it didn't at least the blanket would make for a decent pillow case. After that Catarina took her crossbow out, loading a bolt, and kept watch for any enemies on the horizon.

Parum watched with great interest as the inquisitor and company interrogated the lowly thugs. While most kept their mouths shut one was willing to spill the beans about their vampire master. This was getting very interesting: Perhaps these thugs didn't merely intend to mug the handsome stranger, but also bring him to their master for feeding or slavery? Additionally, Parum was rather amused that there was a vampire living in a desert city. Perhaps the absurdity of such a thing is what has allowed the vampire to survive this long. Parum continued to eavesdrop, hearing the name of the inquisitor and her quest. Vampire slaying was no small task. Not only are vampires themselves powerful foes, but they often had many minions and lackeys of considerable strength. At least stronger than these thugs here.

By the time Erika and the others had left the alley, Parum was gone. Based off Erika's outfit and purpose the halfling merchant could guess which monastery they were staying at, though it helped that Parum had followed the guards all the way back while they were escorting the prisoners. Parum didn't know where this "Wilhelm" person was or the pawn, but Parum knew this city well. Sure she may have just showed up, but Parum would never go somewhere she didn't know the in's and out's of. Parum's knowledge of the local area was so great that she could easily pretend to be a local, which is exactly what she intends to do when she meets the inquisitor. While Parum didn't have magic, she was still a great bluffer and has lied even in a zone of truth. Well, twist the truth, but essentially the same thing to her.

But before she would meet the inquisitor, Parum needed to do some trading. If they were going to hunt vampires, they would need vampire hunting tools. And Parum, being the extraordinary merchant she was, knew exactly where to get them at the best price.

If she's Sayaka, then who's Madoka?

Smitten Kitten stood there quietly as Corpse Collector cursed at her. She couldn't blame CC for hating her, but Kitten wasn't going to say she liked her either. Moon Rider and the Sweepers were Smitten Kitten's enemy, that's true, but Corpse Collector was just a mad person. She was more of an individual threat that someone who was going to put all of Deep Ground on their knees. Smitten Kitten might hate the Ebony Strykers and everyone in it but she wasn't going to ignore smaller threats either. "You can hate me all you want, Corpse Collector. But I had to stop you... I will be the first to kill Moon Rider."

Cleaning her hands of blood Smitten Kitten looked over to Dark Wraith who thought she was only killing Corpse Collector for the reward. "Really? Really? Have you listened to nothing I've said? I will defeat you. Moon Rider, Dark Wraith, all of you!" Smitten Kitten turned and pointed an accusing finger at everyone. It didn't matter to her that she was alone against players and stronger than her. Being outmatched wasn't a reason not to fight against evil people. "And I'll do it with my own power, my way. I'm not going to be like Corpse Collector and cheat. I'm not going to be like you and manipulate others. I don't care about the reward, whatever that is. Give it to someone else, it won't change anything."

Smitten Kitten turned her back on everyone and walked out, still an outlaw. She knew that she essentially painted a target on her back and she wouldn't be surprised if she gets killed before she left the city. But now they knew that Smitten Kitten was going to fight them: she wasn't going to let them hunt her down like an animal anymore. This was her declaration of war. "I know I'm not strong enough to defeat you right now. But the next time we meet Moon Rider, only one of us will walk away alive. I can promise you that."

You can have CC. Unless CC turns over a new leaf Smitten Kitten isn't very comfortable with the hacker.
