Chapter 2: Just a Rainy Day
Katsuya awoke to the loud sound of rain smacking against his window. He sighed a bit, looking at his clock and saw that it was six in the morning. He yawned a bit, stood from his bed and went into the bathroom to follow his routine.
Katsuya was quite handsome, despite the large rimmed glasses. He was a young man of 21. His cheekbones were heavily set, and he was very tan and trim. He was wearing a simple white t-shirt and white sleep pants. White was his favorite color because he never liked the dark that much.
After brushing his teeth and what not, Katsuya ate a few donuts and drank some milk at the small coffee table in the kitchen of his apartment. He sat there a few moments after eating; just watching the rain slam against the window, not even flinching as a loud clap of thunder erupted, shaking the walls slightly.
He smiled as his cat, Skye, leapt into his lap and meowed softly, a bit scared from the thunder. The cat was dark brown with a few black patches, and it had piercing dark green eyes that Katsuya loved to stare into.
"Scared of thunder still, Skye?" Katsuya said in a soothing tone, stroking his hand across the cat's head and back. The cat purred softly as if to say yes and Katsuya smiled and looked over at his terminal.
"Gotta go to work, honey. I'll be back in a few hours," He said jokingly to the cat and gently lifted it off his lap and set it near its half empty food bowl. Katsuya made a mental note not to forget the cat's food.
Katsuya stood and walked over to his computer, booting it up as well as the World. He slipped the visor on and logged in as Balmung.
Welcome to the World, Lord Balmung
Balmung appeared at the cliff where he originally was, and it was raining in the World as well.
"Great," He muttered and quickly warped to town. (Can please someone tell me the names of the towns? If not I'll have to make up some names)
He noticed the large town was almost deserted. There were a few players quickly running into taverns and resting areas to get out of the rain. Balmung calmly walked into the Silver Tavern, and he was a regular there. A few people greeted him with bows and "Good morning Lord Balmung." He simply acknowledged them with a nod or a fake smile. Why did he always have to be like a robot? He pushed this screaming question out of his mind and sat down at one of the tables, where a waitress NPC walked up to him.
"May I give you a selection of drinks?" The waitress said in a too cheerful tone, which annoyed Balmung and before she could start even with the first drink he muttered, "Just give me a White Wist."
The NPC looked a little shut down and simply frowned and turned, walking back over to the bar to get his drink. She returned a few moments later with a glass of white liquid, which had a strange blue tint to it.
"Enjoy!" She said, seeming to have found her cheerful spark again, and he simply nodded and tilted the drink back, sipping it slightly.
He heard a few loud voices and he glanced over towards the corner of the tavern near the entrance, setting his drink down.
Balmung saw two Heavy Blades, and a young wave master gathered around a small, female Heavy Blade. The first three were male; the smaller one was female and looked very scared.
He took note of her beauty, but only for a split second. She had bright silver hair with a slight pink tint to it, and a beautiful red rose was tied into her hair. Her eyes were a dark blue color that seemed to shine with the light of the tavern. She was not dressed as scantily as the other female Heavy Blades. She wore a dark blue cloak over her armor, and he found this quite peculiar. The young girl's face was tanned and very cute, and she had red face painting on her cheeks, or maybe that was blush?
Balmung scowled a bit as he overheard their growing conversation.
"Hey baby. You knew to the World? My buddies and I can show you the sights. If you know what I mean," The Heavy Blade on the right said, wrapping a large arm around the girl, who shook in fear.
"N-No...please I just came in for a drink, "The girl said, her cheeks flushing red as the Wave Master smirked a bit, watching the two Heavy Blades grope on the girl with amusement.
"Aw! Come on baby. Let's go!" The other man said and grabbed her arm, attempting to pull her from the chair, and he didn't have much difficulty doing it.
"NO! PLEASE LET ME GO!" She screamed, and the three looked a little shocked she was screaming, but the tavern was almost deserted.
"I think the girl said to let her go," Balmung said calmly, standing from the table and walking over to the three men and the girl.
The three players looked horrified, while the girl looked amazed and relieved at the same time.
"Player harassment is not allowed on the World. You will cease this action and leave this tavern, or I will temporarily ban all three of you," Balmung said in a calm, collected tone, and the three quickly left the tavern, tripping over each other.
He watched them go and sighed a bit, "Disgusting." He suddenly noticed the girl had come very close to him, looking up at him with tearful eyes.
"T-Thank you Lord Balmung!" She said, and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her head only reached chest high to him, along his collar bone, and he almost lost his composure when she did that.
"Yes, you're welcome. Now if you will release me, I must be going," Balmung said, and the girl quickly released him and looked horrified.
"But! Those guys will be looking for me! They've been harassing me ever since I started playing, and I want them to stop," The girl was almost crying now, and Balmung felt his heart twitch a little.
He sighed, and said, "Look. Here's my member address. I'm sure those idiots won't bother you again in fear they may be banned. But if they bother you again, contact me. I will deal with it."
Balmung gave her his address and didn't even finish his drink as he began walking out of the tavern. He had just reached the doorway when he heard the girl's voice again. She was obviously shocked from receiving an Operator's address.
"Oh thank you Lord Balmung! I am Kera by the way! N-Nice to meet you!" She said, bowing deeply to Balmung, her cheeks flushing red a bit.
Balmung acknowledged her thanks with a simple, "Hmm.." and he exited the tavern.
"Kera.." Balmung said, thinking of her a moment. He sighed, ignoring his memory of her like he does all other personal matters and warped to an area to begin server maintenance.
End of Chapter 2: Wah! What do you think yah? She's such a sweet girl. I designed her myself. Yep Yep. I got the name and personality from a girl I chat with. She's so sweet to me but very shy. Anyway! I hope you enjoyed it!
