I watched her jump down the rockface expertly, and she was down before the soul light appeared. I kept an eye on her as she started to walk towards with a critical look on her face; great, here we go again. What now?
"Ara..." (Sorry...)
That was all that she said, but I was still taken aback by the suddenness of it. Sorry? For calling ugly? I guess, but I was over that now; I was more concerned about what happened now. What was the plan now? Would she just run away again?
"It's fine; we got off on the wrong foot, I'm..."
I paused at my na; did I want to tell her? The others seem to recognize for my actions, but my na seems to mark . Maybe I would try sothing different this ti; what was a cool na?
"...Grayson. I'm a player just like you, that's why I got mad at you earlier..."
Sothing from the corner of my eye put my talking on pause again. I had forgotten entirely about the lights, and they slamd into her back and my chest. There was no impact or any feeling at all, just a light red flash at the bottom of my HUD. I had partially noticed the light the last few tis, but Trina had been there to distract , but she was gone now, and I was alone.
I shook my head to clear the negative thoughts out, I wasn't a child that needed a guide, but the company had been friendly, even if I hadn't appreciated it at the ti. I looked back at the bunny girl, who hadn't said anything besides sorry, and she seed to be thinking about sothing.
"Hmm? What's up?"
"...Ara Ara Ara?"(...What's a player?)
...
That was not the answer I had expected, and I was bewildered. Why was there soone without a mory in a new ga? Even if this were the "Lost Soul' Simon had ntioned, she would have to have mory in a new ga, wouldn't she?
"What do you know? What was happening before I ca? Didn't you just wake up in that hole? Wait, before you answer anything else, do your evolution and try to get human speech. I think you sound adorable, but it's starting to give a headache."
The bunny girl seed to understand what I ant and stepped back from . Once she took on the far-off look typical of soone interacting with their HUD. I focused on opening my EVOLVE screen and popped open my Evolution Choice, but it was labeled differently, and the choices were different.
Existential Evolution Choice:
{Humaniod}{Pure Beast}{Hybrid}
I saw a flash and turned to find...oh damn. What the hell did she pick? Babs was still not showing skin, still just short grey fur and long ears, but now...ya, I was not picking pure beast no matter how cool I might look. Nope, it was Hybrid or Humanoid, but not being adventurous just for the sake of sexual urges would be pretty pathetic on my part...kind of...
"What did you end up picking?"
"Hybrid...oh? I can talk now like you?"
"Thank goodness, although, with this new look of yours, I might have been able to handle the Ara's for a bit longer, hehe. Well, it's my turn to try this out; I think I will make the sa choice; wish luck, whatever your na is."
"Kierra."
I wanted to complint her, but coming from right now wouldn't an much. In my current state, I looked like nothing more than a failed science experint. Co on! Please give sothing dope!
{Hybrid}
I flashed with light, but ti slowed as the flash happened. Suddenly, I could see my ugly body for the first ti close up on my HUD. I really was hard to look at, considering how many different parts were in ; it was no surprise.
Then my body started to change and morph; my image began to change into a more humanoid shape, but not completely. Wings and a tail grew, but as they did, a ssage popped up over my picture with another choice, but only two this ti.
Evolution Choice:
{Scorpion}{Spider}
{Scorpion}
The ssage disappeared, and the image of my new body reappeared, with the tail now beginning to curve, but then it went limp and dropped. Interesting, I could see the stinger now at the end, but the tail was not jointed but smooth like a... dragon's tail? My legs were fascinating now, they weren't the standard human straight legs, but instead, a type of reverse join that had my knees bent backward.
My body was good, and it looked badass now, but I finally drew my gaze up to the place I had been avoiding, my face. Maybe it was the comnt Kierra had made earlier, or maybe just how good she looked now, but I really didn't want to be ugly anymore. I looked up and let out a sigh of relief as the screen and light disappeared and ti started to move along again.
"Woah."
I opened my eyes to see Kierra open-mouthed, staring at . Well, this was awkward; I cleared my throat, twice, before she ca back from whatever place her brain had just gone. She quickly turned around with a shake of her head and started to place back and forth, but finally, she stopped and, with a deep breath, ca over to .
"That place you...found was my ho. I've been in there with my mother since I was born. As far as I know, but now...why am I like this? My head feels like it's going to explode, and I didn't think before, I was just..."
"I don't know what's going on here, but I think we should stick together for the ti being. Everyone here is trying to kill us to get to the top, and each other, but I think I can get around us having to fight each other."
"You said before that this was a ga; what did you an by that?"
Oh, boy, sleeping is for the dead anyway, right?
