Is that Eternal Ice that big a deal?
Judging by my new friend's reaction yes.
Also, that receptionist back there was acting up.
[So, why are you guys reacting so much to...]
"He is a legend! He has always been a genius. He has an ice elental as his tad beast. This in itself is insane. Elentals are close to impossible to ta. You can't intimidate or use anything to bait them into following you. The only option is sheer will and tenacity. I heard that he had to climb the highest mountain there is to get it. One that is classified a disaster zone!"
[Oh I see. That kinda sounds cool. About the disaster zone, I'm not sure. I've seen a disaster zone mislabeled previously already. So might not be that horrible once you are used to it. But why would anyone get an ice cube as a pet?! How are you supposed to cuddle with it at night?!]
"Cuddle? You cuddle with your tad beasts?! Then again you have cute ones."
He looks at seemingly impressed. For so reason, Wolfie starts growling at him. Almost as if to warn him not to try and pet her. She used to be like that with too. Back when I was trying to play fetch with her and all. Now I know barbecue is the way to her heart haha.
[So he is soone with a tenacious will. Anything I need to know?]
"Well, he is a rising star here. They say he has chances to beco the strongest tar there is here. Of course, he is far from replacing the current one."
[Is that the rank 4 tar with the big fire-lizard?]
"Ah, yes. Well, he is a rank 3.5, not a rank 4."
[This is confusing what's with the .5? Ranks go from 1 to 5 no?]
"Yes and no. Mostly we use that system but there is a big difference between a rank 3 and a rank 4. So it often happens that so people are too strong to be considered a rank 3 but too weak to be considered a rank 4 just yet. This is why this thing exists. For example, his tad beast is rank 4 but his power himself is weaker."
[Does it matter? He managed to ta it no?]
"He can control it, but only because he's had it since it was born. He won't be able to use magic to enhance the attribute of his tad beast however because he is not as strong as it yet."
[What?! There is magic to improve pets?!]
"Yeah, but it's not easy to accomplish."
This is getting complicated. Still, I can't help but picture enhancing Wolfie until she is actually strong.
I could also buff the already OP unicorn. Unicorn goes brrrrrrrrrr on the battlefield and the enemies go riiiiiiip. Haha, that would be epic. Ah, don't get wrong I don't support mindless slaughter. But it can happen at tis and better make it stylish.
Talking about style this guy did say he looks up to . Maybe it's because of that?
[Right what was that about being your idol?]
"You are an inspiration for all of us! You tad a donkey and made it fight against a rank 2 snake! It actually won! This is the best show I have seen, talk about showing these entitled pricks who's boss!"
That how am I supposed to react to that?
[Thanks I guess.]
What would he do if he knew that the so-called donkey is a damn unicorn in disguise for so reason? A reason I still don't understand. Either way, it does what it wants I can't really get any rit on that. Guess I should change the topic of the conversation right about now.
[What about you? What's your tad beast?]
"Oh, that? I don't have any."
[Oh, my bad. I thought you were a beast tar.]
"I am."
[]
"Stuff happened and I lost the tad beast I had since young. I need to get myself a new one but none that I have seen interested that much."
I can see lancholy in his eyes. Oh god, what kind of trauma did I just unearth right there?! I need to salvage the situation quickly! C'mon think brain. Any other conversation topic.
[So, good day isn't it?]
AhI am a master of talk for sure.
"Yes, it was on a similar day that I lost my best friend. Radiant sun and warm temperature."
Oh fuck I just made it worse!
[Don't worry I'm sure your beast is in peace in the afterworld or sothing.]
Here salvaged the situation for sure, now ti to .
"It got eaten, regurgitated and its remains got raised by a necromancer. To this day its tornted soul is probably still roaming the land. Never to find rest. Always tortured by existing as an abomination."
What kind of crazy necromancer does that?! This story is getting darker by the minute! I feel bad for him.
[We can look for it together and solve the problem! Then we can organize it the most glorious of funerals and finally, its spirit will be at peace!]
This ought to cheer him up, right?!
"That was an idea I previously had."
Nice now we just need to.
"It turned out to be sothing I should never have done. This is how I lost my biological brother. We went together and he perished on that damn quest. I will always rember the last words he said to ."
Oh god. This is becoming a horror story!
[W-what did he say?]
"He said, and I quote, It hurts like a bitch!"
[What?!]
"And then he died. Eaten by the zombified version of my tad beast. To this day I cannot erase his dying expression from my mind. It haunts and prevents from sleeping at night. Sotis I swear I can hear him calling my na at night. But then I realize it is only my mind playing tricks on ."
What the fuck is up with that dark and heavy backstory?!
Seriously?!
I look at him at a loss on how to comfort him. Then he opens his mouth again.
Does this get darker?!
"HAHA, I'm just ssing with you friend. I had a dog, but it died of old age. So now I'm looking for a new tad beast."
Dafuq?! Can I murder him?!
