"Not free, sorry." - Evan
"Where?" - Ian
"Cafe next to the ga shop. TTYL! CYA!" - Sabrina
I put the phone down and get up to pour myself yet another cup of water. Most of the early morning I had been drinking water and watching random movies but now it was ti for my daily routine, exercising.
I go out of my house and do so light stretches before jogging at a nice slow pace. The sun had already risen over the horizon and a nice golden glow was blanketing the suburb. I pull my hoodie over my head as I start to jog faster. The route had changed from just around the block to traveling around a couple of blocks and through a park.
The park had outdoor fitness equipnt set up for the locals who don't want to go to the gym to do so simple bodyweight training. After discovering the fitness equipnt I had started to regularly travel here during my morning exercise to complete so simple tasks. I would start by jogging to the location as a warm-up and once I arrived I would imdiately stretch again.
The first task would be pull-ups, followed by sit-ups, leg raises, dips and finally push-ups. Nearby, is a water station that allows to stay hydrated throughout the whole exercise. After being stagnant at ho for hours thinking about the ga moving about felt oddly satisfying.
I sat on a bench after stretching since I finished my workout and looked around. So other early birds had arrived and started working out nearby as well. So doing yoga stretches others practicing so tai chi and so using the equipnt I had just finished using.
Next to were two girls who were doing so stretches while chatting with each other and as I was just relaxing basking in the sunlight I happened to hear so details especially after I heard them ntion Settlent.
"Mary, how's Settlent?"
"Hmm, it's okay like I'm not doing too much. Just relaxing with the NPCs near a river. Nothing dangerous so far."
"What! A river, lucky! I'm stuck in a rocky region. Barely any water or even grass for that matter. I'm lucky one of my NPCs can get water from the cactus-like plants."
"Well, have you heard Renee there is a company that is going around recruiting Settlent players?"
"WHAT! Really? Mary, should we go to them today? Maybe we can get them to help us in the ga."
"Yea, we can try I don't mind. Next to the big ga building in the city is Bones, the company recruiting players."
"Bones? Why have I heard them before…?"
"Silly Renee. They are the ones that usually make the player guilds in gas. They created rcSwords in LeafStory, PowerHouse in World of Witches and Bones'R'Bones in Magic&Swords. So, assuming the sa trend they will most likely create another guild like place in Settlent even though there are no guild functions in the ga."
"Hmm...I see, I kind of understand but not really...Oh well, you can explain it to more let's start heading there first."
"Wait, Renee. Wait up you're running too fast."
I watch the girls run away and think to myself about the little snippet of information they had leaked. I rember seeing a post on the forum about recruiting people for a guild but never did I imagine it was sothing this big.
Should I join it?
I get up from the bench and slowly walk back ho thinking about how to progress in the ga and whether to join the guild the girls were talking about. I can check it out since I am going near it today to et up with Sabrina and at the sa ti maybe get her opinion on it as well.
I got ho, showered and changed into sothing more casual before walking to the train station and getting on the train. A nice comfortable ride without much happening around until I got to the cafe.
It's 945, a little early so I went to send a text to Sabrina saying I have arrived.
"I'm here." - Ian
"OH! Wait, almost there. Walking from the station." - Sabrina
"Take your ti, no rush." - Ian
Standing in front of the cafe I am able to see the tall glass building next to the ga shop. At the top of the building in big white bold letters is the world Bones, with two long bones in a shape of an X behind the letter B. At their front door is a line snaking around the side of the building with n in black suits and black glasses standing near the line. I look at the people slowly moving up the line when another person exits the building.
The people exiting the buildings always had a big smile on their faces, holding onto a Bones carry-on bag.
"Wondering what's happening in the building to Ian?"
A sudden voice coming from behind surprises , making jump in fright while I turn around. Sabrina, dressed in a white crop top, an unzipped maroon red jacket and short denim shorts appeared behind .
"Why did you co at like that?"
"I don't know. It seed fun as a thought. I was originally going to hit you on the back but then again you are not Evan so...Didn't do it. Co on let's go in the cafe I'm hungry, tired and thirsty. You are paying by the way."
"What?!"
"Hurry up!"
Without any warning she had already entered the cafe and sat down, waving to to sit with her.
"Okayyyy, I want pancakes with honey and maple syrup andddd an iced vanilla latte. What are you getting?"
"I...Don't know. I just sat down."
"Co on, hurry up it's not that hard."
I quickly look at the nu and looked at the cheaper options.
"I'll get a ham and cheese toast with water."
"Why are you telling ? Go to the counter."
I look at her in disbelief and confusion but once I saw her face as she looked at the nu and a picture of the pancakes I just sighed and went to the counter.
After ordering the food I went back to the table and sat down.
"So, you died. Are you feeling ok?"
