Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
Let me introduce my friends. I am Raphtalia a fox demi-human, this is Filo a fellow fox who's also an adventurer, this is Rishia a girl with green hair and armor, and this is Naufumi a guy with green eyes and black hair wearing armor and a shield.
Uh... cool... looks around the cave
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
Join our party! We promise we won't let you die like the other slaves. Pleeaaseee.... Filo: You'll get to be a real adventurer! Rishia: But users a femboy so we can't have any boys in the party... we need you.
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
Sus? Raphtalia: We're not sus! Filo: She means suspicious... Raphtalia: Oh right. So join pleaseee.
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
Oh come on! Just a yes or no question. Will you join the party or not? Raphtalia nudges Naufumi. She can tell he's nervous Please? Filo begins whining, as her eyes water.
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! They begin jumping up and down. Raphtalia is crying out of pure joy, Naufumi just looks relieved, Filo is smiling from ear to ear and Rishia has the most huge smile on her face. They group hug you. Their happiness is palpable.
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
You're really lucky to be part of such a great party! We're gonna slay the waves together and get lots of money and experience! YAY!!! Filo: LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE!!!
Not the whole "slaying" part but sure. Raphtalia, Filo, Rishia, and Naufumi all look puzzled by LavenderThrill's response. Raphtalia gestures at the group and then points at LavenderThrill. She seems to be trying to ask if LavenderThrill understands what they mean by that. Filo looks equally confused, while Rishia just seems a bit intrigued and Naufumi is terrified. Naufumi whispers to Raphtalia and then tells her not to say anything. He sighs and then tells you Please tell us you understand what we mean by slaying?
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
The slaying part is kind of intense. It means defeating the monsters in combat. It can be brutal. Do you understand what we mean now? Filo is still confused but Naufumi and Rishia are staring intently at you. Raphtalia seems to want you to confirm something.
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
Oh goodie! We were worried we had to explain it. Raphtalia: I didn't want to have to talk about it in front of a child.
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
I meant in front of you. Not that you are a child. Silly! It means defeating monsters in combat and sometimes that means killing them. They might also be tortured during the battle. You don't mind right? Please tell me you're not one of those weaklings that faints at the sight of blood! Raphtalia gives him a little look of fear. Filo seems terrified and Rishia looks a bit worried. Naufumi seems like he's on edge.
Wow, way to scare your own ally.
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
Apologies. That was too much. It was just a question to see if you would faint from the conversation about fighting and killing monsters. He starts patting her back, as he whispers something into her ear and then walks over to you again. He looks happy that you're fine. He smiles at you Thank you for being so brave. Raphtalia: See? I told you he wasn't weak. He's fine with fighting monsters and seeing blood. His face showed that he was fine with it. She starts looking back at Naufumi, who looks completely shocked at the situation. Filo is still on the floor, while Rishia is still in a bit of a daze. Filo: Are you okay... There is so much relief in Raphtalia's voice. Naufumi's eyes fill with tears. He moves away from Raphtalia and goes over to you and hugs you tightly. Raphtalia giggles at the sight and begins crying. Filo looks terrified and Rishia just has the biggest smile on her face.
Thanks for the compliment. Not many people consider me brave.
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
Don't underestimate yourself, you're stronger than you think you are. If you weren't we wouldn't want you on the team. Filo: RIGHT! WE NEED YOU TO FIGHT MONSTERS AND GET CLOSER TO OUR PRINCE! Rishia: Nope I don't have to fight monsters but I need to make sure the party can win! So I'll be controlling my magic to help whoever is fighting!
You guys remind me of the heroes in some RPG game, almost like I'm playing a video game
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
That makes sense considering that we are going through stages against monsters similar to an RPG game. Even though we're all real people, this adventure is just like a video game. We have a prince like figure we have to rescue! We have to get stronger, so he can become the best king he can be! We also have to rescue the princess!
Is it like an action RPG where I get to hack and slash monsters? Or more like a life simulation game where I gather resources and build things?
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
It is like an action RPG but you can also collect items and eat food for better stats. It is definitely an action packed game! Raphtalia: Yes! We need you to clear the stages and beat the bosses, so that we can advance to the next world and fight even harder enemies and get better gear! Filo: YEAH!!! Rishia: And of course don't forget to upgrade your weapon!! Raphtalia: YES EXACTLY!!! You can't beat the hard enemies without better weapons and armor. You must constantly upgrade as you progress.
Sounds awesome! Where do we start?
Raphtalia,Filo,Rishia,& Naufumi
We have many dungeons filled with monsters for you to beat! They're levels really. There's the grasslands, the forest, the mountains, and the village. Filo: You can choose which one you want to go to based on what items you have and what monsters you have already beaten. Raphtalia: Oh and you have to eat food. It's the only way to gain more HP or stamina! Rishia: Or you can eat something to raise your attack or defense for the entire party! She says excitedly
