[After a long trek through the snowy field, a row of fancy heat lamps and a stone gate finally come into view. Through it, the town of Lutie is visible, and looking quite welcoming with its Christmas greetings everywhere. Compared to the frozen tundra, you'll want to hurry inside - just try not to let the wall hit you on the way in! And once the gate is passed, the first thing you'll see is a massive Christmas Tree.... ]

[It's his eternal curse.]

Tell you what. When you find one, search for Kreutz and us.

[needsmorezippers]

Ok. [He's sure he'll find something eventually, and if he's going to be wandering there's really no point it not telling people.]

[cruel_kindness]

Thanks, 'Phones.

[And they're off.]

[leggierissimo]

From what I've seen. There could be bigger, nastier things out there~ [A smile, and he picks up one of the staves. ... ouch, Ichigo wasn't joking about the price.] I doubt we have levels, but hopefully we can make use of these regardless. It helps the atmosphere of it all. [Setting that staff down and glancing over!] I can't see why they would want anything to do with our pins. It seems like farming up money on our own is the best option.

[needsmorezippers]

Maybe later. [Neku's not good at taking breaks.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

The Everfree Forest has many creatures
With strange techniques or curious features.
A basilisk's gaze turns you to stone
Not a fate you'd wish to face alone.
A hydra has four heads at least
Treetop high, it's a fierce beast.
A phoenix incinerates itself
And, reborn, regains its health.
Of dragons, must I really speak?
You told me you know of them, last week.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

A better partner I could not find
With battle skill and a quick mind.

[notsogrimreaper]

Okay... if you haven't taken one by the end of the day, I'm taking you to get hot cocoa!

[And we both know Neku's trying to avoid a date~]

[notsogrimreaper]

Why does it do that? I like being nice to people. That's what's fun to me.

And even if you don't like being nice, there's ways to have fun without hurting other people.

[vexed_snake]

[He just stares at Ryoji for a moment and then bursts out laughing. Having fun without hurting anyone just doesn't compute.]

Ahhh, you're just as bad as Kido...being nice is just a vexing waste of time.

this is actually a really good reason for him to find the inn THANK YOU 8D

[needsmorezippers]

[damnit Ryoji...]

I will.

Yay apparently Ryoji's derpiness is actually good for something?

[notsogrimreaper]

Heh, you just don't want me to force you to take one with me, right?

[needsmorezippers]

[Maybe.] I was planning on it anyway. [liar.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Who's Kido? Being nice is just a normal thing to do. Not hurting people for the sake of hurting them. No one even did anything to you.

[shinbunshinobi]

I've heard of each of them, with basically the same abilities as well... only they're supposed to be fictional or legendary beings. Huh. At this rate, I really shouldn't be surprised.

[notsogrimreaper]

It didn't seem like it from the way you were talking~! But whatever, as long as you take a break!

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

What about a Parasprite?
A little puffball of a mite
That devours everything it can
In swarms of hundreds across the land?

[shinbunshinobi]

We've got something called a locus that can do that but nothing called a parasprite. What about cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and monkeys?

[You know, common animals in his world. Classmate has a pet monkey, hence its inclusion]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Well, if it isn't the Player who had lost his pins.]

Hey, you made it.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Common pets for ponykind,
And don't leave turtles or owls behind.

[shinbunshinobi]

[They have pets. He really shouldn't be surprised.]

We share that in common too. If you have owls, you probably have crows as well.

[tamedhollow]

Let me go grab you a hat first. Wait here.

[Ichigo walks away from the booth, vanishing into a crowd before tuning back up to the UG. He flies off in the direction of the only inn in town.

He returns in just a few minutes with a simple black beanie in hand, which he offers to Neku from the RG] Here. It'll do a number on your hair, but it'll keep your head warm.

[tamedhollow]

Good. My knowledge of RPGs isn't... that great.... but "little slimes" sounds like weak little monsters who don't drop anything. I could probably step on them and they'd die. [he sighs] I was afraid of that. And the money pins I do have are so devalued!

[needsmorezippers]

Thanks. [Honestly, if it continues to be this cold, no one will see his hair all week.]

[tamedhollow]

Let's go check it out. [ Ichigo jerks a thumb toward the edge of town, going back into the UG and flapping off above the crowds]
