Not mine Just Playing

Jim looked a little surprised at the girl before him. "Hi, I'm Hayth" he said extending a hand in front of him. The Red-head shook his hand gently and said "Well it is nice to meet you Hayth." she got up and sat at his table opposite him. "I thought i would be the only one logged on tonight until you came here. Have you been playing this long" she said taking a sip from her mug of hot tea.
"Just a few days. I was only able to put away enough recently to buy a headset. How about you?"
"I've been playing for about a month and a half. What d'ya think of it so far?"
"Well it's a lotta fun and so far the people i've met have been real nice, but i haven't had a chance to explore much yet. I'm in the middle of deep space at the moment so when i do get a stray moment to log in the 'lands' are almost always deserted." Jim looked down at his armour covering his left arm and began polishing it absent-mindedly.
"Ok, well i know what we're gonna now then" standing up Odana began dragging him towards the centre of town.
"Where are we going?" he said stumbling along behind her.
"Well" she said turning her head behind her to look at the knight. "You said that you hadn't explored yet, so i'm gonna show you around a bit. Besides between the 2 of us we should be able to take down anything of a normal dificulty."
Jim's mouth hung open for a few seconds before he smiled and nodded. "Well lets go then!" he said as he ran after her.

On arriving in the new area the first thing that jim saw was sand. Coincidentally the second, third, forth and fiifth things he noticed were also sand. The sixth thing he noticed was Odana grining watching for his reaction.
"Um where are we?" he said with a puzzled expression on his face. The grin stayed plastered across her face.
"The Forgotton desert. It's a great place for new players to get a bit of experiance with the way combat works and level up their characters. C'mon ill show you to the temple."
"The temple?" The knight said.
"Yeah its the local dungeon. The most worthy monsters all hide down there.....as well as the best treasure" Odana replied her eyes lighting up.
The pair walked across the dessert sands towards the old egyption styled building in the distance. Jim was surprised how well he was getting on with the girl. Most of the people he had met so far had been all nice enough people to talk with but they soon would run out of topics which they could both talk about. The strange thing about Odana was that despite the time they spent talking as they travelled across the sands they never ran out of conversation subjects.
"Well, it looks like we're here." Jim said "Any tips you can give me before we get in there?"
The cleric rested her chin in her right arm and tapped her index finger against her cheek in thought. "hmm tips. don't use your healing potions too quick and always try to take down the biggest monster first. With your class and this dungeon you've got the best chance of taking the larger ones down. Shall we go in?"
Jim grinned back at his Companion He unsheathed the long sword which had been strapped to his back and grasped it in both hands "Let's play"
****
He leaned on the hilt of his sword panting heavily. The last fight had been a tough one and he and Odana had been separated early on in the fight and each swarmed by the half-man half-snake creatures that she had called Naga. His vision was starting to blur when he heard feet run up to him.
"Hayth are you ok?" She asked trying to help him stand.
"I don't know. Everythings all blurry" He said as Odana lowered him to a corner of one of the walls. The cleric cursed and began to pray moving her hands in a pattern he couldn't recognise. After a few seconds he began to feel a bit better and his vision began to clear. After she had finished she helped him to his feet as she herself got up as well.
"For the record when you're poisoned is a good time for a low level character to use their potions" She said, reaching up and ruffling the knight's hair. He swatted her hand away in a friednly gesture.
"C'mon i didn't do that badly."
"Not at all, for a first timer you did very well with that sword."
"Well i've watched my friend a few times and she's a good duelist."
"Well shall we she what your treasure is?" she said gesturing to the final door. They both walked fowards, through the door and towards the gold chest before them. Hesitantly Jim pulled it open and looked at the contents of the box.
"So what did you get?" the girl beside him said leaning against one of the walls of the chamber.
"Well it's this amulet. What's it do?" he said holding it up to the light. Odana let out a low whistle.
"Thats a real treasure you've got there. It'll be damn useful on our future trips. Amulet of Protective Aura. It'll have a similar affect as a light shield only over a larger shield" she said.
"Wow, that's really cool. Um can i ask you a question?" she answered with a simple nod. "Did you say "our" future trips?"
"Yeah i did. Well I enjoyed playing the game with you and i'd like to play with you again in the future, if you'd like that?" She replied a small smile playing on her lips.
"That would be great!" he yelled. "I'd love to play with you in the future." He paused and then realized what he'd just said "Uh what i mean is uh..." The Cleric chuckled and said
"I get what you mean. How about we meet in the village about the same time tomorrow?"
"Ok" he said, a blush spreading over his face. "I'll see you tomorrow then." He was just about to press the invisable button on the palm of his hand when he fealt her sup his chin and plant a small kiss on his cheek. She leaned back and waved goodbye before she disappeared. Jim stood there shell shocked for a few seonds before he to disappeared leaving the temple empty.

Jim finished removing the gloves and helmet and began to put them back in the box and hide them. That had certainly been a much more interesting session than all of the others he had played and he was looking forward to tomorrow as if it was his birthday. Lying back on his bed he rested his head on his arms as visions of Odana danced through his mind. Jim drifted off to sleep a smile spread across his face

"Jim, Hey Jim wake up" Bang, Bang, Bang. "It's your turn to take watch" Bang, Bang, Bang.
With a groan Jim Hawking pushed himself up from the pillow his face has burried itself in. He fealt like he'd only just fallen asleep and was still exhausted. "Alright already Gene I'm up. Geese if you don't learn to relax you're gonna have a stroke before you're thirty" he yelled through the cabin door. The door slid open to reveal the hastillay dressed 15 year old. Gene looked at him, "I'm 25 Jim."
"Then you had better learn to relax" Jim said as he walked past Gene towards the Cockpit. In the past 3 years since the Leyline, Jim had grown up to be almost as tall as gene maybe a couple of inches shorter than the brash outlaw. As he entered the cock pit he swung himself over the rail into the pilots seat. "Gillam anything interesting happened in the last few hours."
"I'm afraid not Jim. We've been quite quiet for the past few hours." The A.I system said. Jim sat back on his chair. This was another one of the problems with long journeys. There was very lttle to do on the longer trips and cabin fever was something which they had all succumbed to on some occasion. Chief amongst these moments was when Aisha had declared the kitchen her space kingdom and her the high queen. It had taken him an hour of groveling for her to allow him to make himself a sandwitch. Propping his feet up on the dashboard he began to work on his palm top. He had just began to doze off again when a voice sound in his ear
"WAKE UP JIMMY!!!!!" the c'tarl c'tarl screamed. Jerking forward Jim smacked his forehead onto the dash board before leaning back to glare at the smirking ex-abassador. He began rubbing his bruise and said "Geese Aisha, what was that for?"
"You were asleep, Jimmy. On watch duty." she looked smug and continued. "You would never find a proud c'tarl c'tarl asleep on the job like that" James turned a skeptical eye on her. Opening up his palm top he began to start trying to find a file.
"Y'know Aisha, that line might work on Gene or maybe even Suzuka but not me. Not someone who has access to this." with that he opened a file and broadcast it on one of the larger screens in front of them. The first few seconds showed a change over of shifts between Suzuka and Aisha. After a few seconds alone Aisha fell asleep. Jim then began to fast forward the video. After 5 hours of speeded up footage Aisha awoke just in time for Gene to switch places with her. With a click Jim turned the film off and turned to look at the cat-girl. "You were saying"
Aisha was speechless for a few seconds before saying "I won't tell if you don't tell." and extending a hand
Jim grasped the hand and shook it firmly "deal." It was moments like these that Jim enjoyed spending with Aisha, where they could each be themselves and enjoy each others company. Too often in their lives time passed them by far too quickly and they never were able to experiance just the enjoyment of spending time with a friend.
"So what do you want to do now?" Jim asked
"Weell you could show me how well you can get beaten up at Mortal Fighter Gamma7" Aisha said with a grin
"Yeah right" Jim said as he got the cable to link his palmtop to Aisha's Portable Console. "You're going down"
