A crowd gathered densely around a heated combat. The cheers of excited people filled the area, bringing more attention around. Others came, squeezing into the crowd to catch a glimpse of what seriously intense shit must be going on within the center. The event was so popular, some people were even there selling food.
"Grrr..." The Cannibal grit her sharp teeth, crouching on all fours as she slowly circled the parameter of the ring, a tiger just opposite of her, mimicking her motions carefully. Two predators on all fours, each threatening to strike at any moment. The suspense was nearly palpable.
Suddenly, a shove came from the audience, pushing the tiger towards The Cannibal. With the forward momentum, the tiger sprung off of it's back legs in a powerful hop forward. Sidestepping to dodge the attack, The Cannibal dipped out of the way. Spinning quickly, the beast charged at her, head low.
"No! Bad kitty!" The Cannibal stomped her foot, chin held high as she glared down at the beast. Suddenly struck with fear, as the crazed girl glared down at her, the tiger paused, immobilized. Unable to move it's legs, the tiger feared attack, suddenly whimpering and sulking back to it's owner in the crowd.
The crowd roared with excitement, as Akeno bolstered herself, raising her arms in the air. Certainly, it created quite a scene within the city, causing the guards to soon come and break up the fight club she had created. Sadly, she scratched the back of her neck as the crowd dispersed from around her.
"No fun. Why do they always have to come and ruin the party..."

 We all die some day! [attr="class","firstfriend"] No Blood No Bone No Ash. ars did not know which was more exciting at this point. The energy of the crowd boiled over in his veins as well. He couldn’t believe he was about to watch a woman fight a full grown pet tiger this was sweet. Broken War Online had no shortage of entertainment it seemed. This often reminded him of the many cities and villages he had visited while on tour. The military life was not always glorious but it did offer him a bit of perspective when it came to understanding life outside. As a boy holding a gun he had little experience with the world. Yet as he traveled and changed handlers he found himself loving and enjoying everything they had to offer. Eyeing the woman and beast his crimson orbs burned with hunger and excitement. The man had actually scored a front row seat thanks to looking like a child enjoying the spectacle at hand. This did and did not work in his favor for a few reasons. The first was that not many people took him seriously; the other was because he had no actually NPC parents so he often found himself in the Town of Origins orphanage till he managed to escape again. The perks of it all were being short and able to fit between crowds of people. At the same time it gave him a perfect cover for blood thirsty intentions. Grinning from ear to ear the lad gave a shout of pure joy, hooting and howling like a mad man in love with the scene before him. “YEAAAH SHOW THAT KITTY CAT WHOSE BOSS!! WOOOOOAAHHH!!” Jumping into the air his heels clicked with joy, but that soon ended as the guards sought to break up the entire gathering. Even as people were pushed and shoved this way and that, again looking like a young child he avoided every part of it. Side stepping some people here and there he swiftly approached the woman. Taking into account her full appearance he had to rethink his terminology for her. The closer he got to her the more the scent of blood became apparent. This was no normal woman from the looks of her fingers and teeth. “You were amazing back there! It’s a pity the guards had to stop the gathering! I was hoping for more of a show!!” The young lad showed a rejuvenating level of awe and praise for the woman’s talents. Looking left and right he made sure the guards were gone before turning back to Akeno. “So what keeps you here in the Town of Origins. You are quite a strong person..” His expression remained a smile as both hands went to the back of his head. Clasping together he remained relaxed at he looked up at the woman slightly. Ebony skin contrasted against his snow white hair and crimson orbs that glinted in the auburn sky.  | | ✉ | I hope you don't mind me tagging along in here.

Disgruntled, she grit her sharp teeth, clenching her fist. Always ruining the fun, those pesky guards. She figured she'd get back at them one of these days, reaching back to pull her knife from her bag. Then, presuming to use the tip of it to pick a little at her razor-edged incisors. Her expression showed one of boredom, like a school prankster being caught in the act by her teacher. The Cannibal was less than pleased.
Still, Akeno's displeasure was washed and faded into surprise when someone approached her after most of the group had mostly dispersed. Usually, the threat of the guards got most people shuffling away with their heads down instantly. She gave a charismatic nod, and a small salute with her hand as the boy approached, still holding her knife in the same hand. Realizing this, she flung her arm back to place the blade back in her pack.
"Ah, no need for all the compliments!" The Cannibal snickered to herself. "I've got a whole lot of dumb to make up for it." She knocked on the side of her cranium softly. Her mannerisms were lazy in conversation, letting her arms dangle in her subtle movements. She came off as someone who truly cared little for other's opinions of her, and that was very much a true statement.
"Nothing keeping me here." She shrugged her shoulders, pursing her lips briefly. "I mean, I sorta just wander about. Here, there. That way, and this one!" She pointed a finger left, right, then up and down. "All over the place. No rhyme or reason to it." With a smirk, The Cannibal's expressive presentation came to a halt, putting out her hand.
"I'm Akeno! How are ya?" Her nose wrinkled slightly, as she gave a rather silly smile, putting out her hand to the fellow.

We all die some day! [attr="class","firstfriend"] No Blood No Bone No Ash. et’s see.. What better way to describe the soul be him.. Was it weird? No that word did not suffice! Sporadic maybe.. No that word in itself was not even close to grasping a piece of her persona, she was far to scatter brained and humorous for the word Sporadic. Quirky was the word he was looking for! She was a quirky woman with a high self-esteem based upon her actions. The lack of a care brought a nostalgic level of familiarity with her. “You are indeed something else!” Chuckling lightly he did in fact like this woman from the jump. This was a rarity that he would carefully inspect should it go sideways. Reaching out with both hands he grasped both of her own and began to jump and spin around with her. “Jorumun.. Call me Mars!!” While hosting a cheerful persona the man slowed his pace to a halt and released her hands. “It is good to travel around the way. I am ever curious.. While you say you have plenty of dumb, some of the best ideas come from such said dumb space. Cherish it no? As for your travels! Tell me about them! I have always wanted to leave these walls, but I have yet to fully adventure.” Grinning broadly Mars waited for the woman to respond as he looked about at the guards who now eyed them curiously. Sucking his teeth lightly he placed both hands on his hips as gestured to her. “Why don’t we find a better place to chat; some place perhaps with more people or more of nature..” Turning to walk away Jorumun beckoned for her to follow while waving at the guards to ward off any unwanted conflict. The guards themselves gave them both a nod before continuing their rounds around the city. | | ✉ | stick your notes in here, but keep it short. use this to tag if you have more than one person to tag. |

It wasn't common she found someone that accepted her near blatant insanity as something other than disruptive. With a smile, she nodded at the suggestion to head elsewhere.
"Mind your own business, bucket-heads!" The Cannibal raised a fist towards one of the guards that peered towards them as he began walking away. Stopping, the guards looked back and took a few steps towards them, to which Akeno shouted, "Shitface!" She pointed her finger accusingly towards the guard, the man stopping in his tracks, looking down at his immobile feet. It wasn't the most intellectual of insults, but she till chuckled to herself. The Cannibal lead the way, meandering carelessly down the street.
"Haven't been outside the walls?" She was baffled by the thought. "There's wonderful places out there, you know! Not all dangerous, some are pretty. Villages and oceans!" She raised her hands in the air, as if appraising the world. "It's a horrible, beautiful, wonderful mess, you know? Well, you don't know, but you should!"
She quietly pondered to herself with a forward somersault, then back to her feet, the barefoot girl's feet slapped against the cobblestone pathway. Mars. She'd heard the word before, but her memories of before she was in the game were rather slim. She had no way of deciphering the origin.
"Cool name though!" She ended with abruptly, her thought coming to a sudden close.

We all die some day! [attr="class","firstfriend"] No Blood No Bone No Ash. trike the word quirky and call her topsey turvy, this woman was full of life no doubt. Looking back over his shoulder at her interaction with the guards a smile played out across his face. Yet his ears remained tuned in on what she had to say about the world at large. “Oceans you say? They must be beautiful indeed; and other villages as well! That means there is much I need to do and to explore no doubt.” Chuckling once more Mars watched the woman somersault across the cobble stones before offering her a small nod of his head. “Thank you! Your name’s not too shabby either, Akeno.” Lifting a single hand he stretched it out to the sun setting sky. Holding up his fingers he made a single gunshot motion towards the setting sun. “Bang.. Do tell me what sort of conflicts have you faced being outside of the walls? I deeply desire to go outside of the walls, however I am not sure. At my current strength I am sure I would most likely perish, not that I wouldn’t mind a glorious death..” The words held a tone of insatiable blood lust as his gaze dropped down to the path before them. Sunsets and faded auburn skies meant nothing to him at this point. His mind was on the world beyond and this person he had recently met. Akeno.. Just what was she really? Her discombobulated format of conversation and expression intrigued him the most. “Are there monsters one might never expect to see just yet? Or are the beasts like common game system monsters to boot? I know I am asking a lot of questions, but I am ever so curious about your experience here.” Impassiveness calmed his face as Mars looked over at Akeno. No doubt her legs would have carried her up to his pace and somewhat beyond due to her height. Damn this childlike appearance! | | ✉ | stick your notes in here, but keep it short. use this to tag if you have more than one person to tag. |

"Oh, big ol' monsters! Ones you didn't know exist. Even some cute ones, little mushroom guys! Giant octopus things and ice creatures, just to name a few! Killed em all, I have! And I gotta say," Her unwavering guise of outright thrill and enthusiasm animated an unanticipated flicker of dismay. "Raw octopus is no good at all."
"You must be joking when you say you haven't gone out the walls!" The Cannibal shifted back to a previous subject as they walked, truly having no idea where she was going with the conversation, or their destination. "There's so much out there! Actually, I believe this is one of the more boring places. I'm surprised I even found a tiger to brawl with."
Her mannerisms were... Unnerving, in a sense. She spoke, often slurring some words, letting the more guttural tones lace her words noticeably. Reaching back, having not much to do with her arms, Akeno pulled her knife from her bag, as well as her slingshot, attempting to juggle them. This succeeded for a few moments, until, of course, she caught the blade, causing her to drop the knife.
"Eek!" She yelped quietly, tugging her right palm back to her chest. "What did I say about trying to kill yourself! Ya dummy!" She shouted at her right hand, the victim in the ordeal. The knife rattled along the path ahead.
Akeno jogged after it, briefly leaning over to retrieve her weapon. Realizing her idea was truly quite meaningless, she opted to place the slingshot and the knife back into her bag, as not to get any silly ideas like that again. The Cannibal returned to aimlessly swinging her arms at her sides. Akeno turned back, allowing the shorter fellow to catch up to her, as she had run ahead.

We all die some day! [attr="class","firstfriend"] No Blood No Bone No Ash. er words intrigued him dearly as he listened to her words. His imagination was not dull but he doubted it was sharp enough to think up what those monsters could be. Each tidbit of information made him more and more willing to reach out and step past the open gates as they walked past them. “The outside world sounds so amazing!! I really look forward to such a time.. Wait.. You ate them?” Raising a brow her class style now came into question. “Is eating them a part of how you function or was it just for fun?” Blinking he was not at all afraid nor bothered by her manners. It just surprised him that there was possibly a Cannibal class. What were their limitations? Were people safe when not dueling to pass such a being? Mars was not in fact worried about his own safety. Rather he liked the entire idea of such a wide variety. Yet silence followed as he watched her juggle the knife and slingshot the lad was left speechless. This was something unheard of even in his wildest of dreams. This lass was a savage of sorts, scared of nothing with no thought of danger. Interesting.. Very interesting.. Slipping both hands into his pockets he raised a slight brow as her right hand had a change of heart. Instead of shifting the blade the hand decided it was best to catch it. What a red flag that was! The blade clattered away and Jorumun pulled out a small bit of bandage for her hand. Of course it wouldn’t do her any good in game, but he liked where her mind was at. Every piece of her was alive and kicking as if there were more in her than just the singular mindset. “Oh man! Right hand you klutz what did she tell you come on now.” Laughing he caught up to her with ease. Wrapping her right hand in the cloth and clicked his tongue against his teeth. Making as if he were to scold the hand itself, yet he found himself enjoying this one moment. “Perhaps at some point we might go on an adventure some time?” | | ✉ | stick your notes in here, but keep it short. use this to tag if you have more than one person to tag. |

Definitely, it wasn't a common occurrence that The Cannibal got any sort of assistance in the berating of her occasionally disruptive limbs. Such outside encouragements could not go unassisted, as she reared an ugly glare back at her palm in distaste. The mental construct whimpered apologetically inside of her scrambled mind.
"Mhm, I ate 'em. Well, some of them. Not all of them, of course." Akeno explained, allowing her white haired friend to tend to her wounded appendage. "Sometimes they fade away into pixels too quick for me to get a good bite." Her stomach growled eerily in agreement with her statement. "Always hungry though, always hungry.." She grumbled, as if translating it's disgruntled moan, giving her stomach a slow rub. A true statement it was, she was certainly always hungry. A function of her class, and the root of her insanity.
"Sure! Gotta get you outside of these boring walls! There is work to do, people to save!" She pointed heroically in a random direction. "I bet, somewhere that way, there's a cat in a tree that could use your help. And it's never gonna get your help if you're in here!" Not the most heroic or inspirational of phrases to spew, but one she came up with off of the top of her head.

Jorumun was starting to like this woman more and more, the factors of consistent hunger was a common place thing. While physically that wasn’t always true… Bull shit it was but that was not the hunger he felt akin to relating to. His hunger to devour the world as it was. This was the hunger which made him either a very good ally or a very dangerous foe depending on your stance. Finishing his bandage work on her hand Mars listened intently. He had now made his second acquaintance in this game. Swiping the menu open he decided to add her to his friends list sending the request over swiftly. “No doubt I feel inspired!! Be it a Kitten or something bigger I long to be outside of these walls. What do you say we find an Inn and some food? Let’s see if we can sate the stomach.” Chuckling lightly he enjoyed interacting with every piece of her persona. To exclude those other pieces meant to never listen to understand the woman and all she was. Nodding slowly his hands were raised high before placed behind his head. “Come Akeno! Let us get some food and perhaps watch the fire burn in the center square. I heard there is to be a Summer Solstice festival perhaps.. Maybe I was wrong there were no system updates but I think it is NPC hosted.” Grinning broadly his teeth flashed white in the setting of the sun. “Then from there perhaps we might embark upon a quest or two if you are not busy or have plans. I realize you are within a Guild so I do not want to step on any toes!” Nodding towards the Inn further ahead of them both, Mars took the lead as he left Akeno to stand in her heroic pose. It was time to make moves. | | ✉ | stick your notes in here, but keep it short. use this to tag if you have more than one person to tag. |

Akeno nodded carelessly, pointing her palms towards him. "Lead the way, oh guided one." She bowed her head in a silly manner, as if respecting him like a deity for a moment. Truly, she could not lead the way herself, being as misguided as she was.
"To food and festivities!" The Cannibal gave an enthused shout, with a spiraling, skipping jaunt towards the street, before remembering that she had no clue where it was she was headed, coming to an abrupt and swift halt, turning back to face him. "Oh, my guild!"
She'd forgotten, as many details and memories generally slipped through her very fluid consciousness. It was as much a surprise to her as it always was, considering she was not only still alive, given her rambunctious and carefree nature, but also part of any sort of lasting organization.
"Nah, you don't gotta worry about anything." She shrugged her shoulders. "They're prolly happy I'm out of their hair right now." Akeno chuckled evilly to herself, allowing him to lead the way.

We all die some day! [attr="class","firstfriend"] No Blood No Bone No Ash. er comment brought a smile to his lips as he led the way without fail. Yet again the woman herself had a tendency to wonder on ahead of him sometimes. Her own world and this own were unable to be divided and he liked that about her. There was not lost time for her at all. Grinning broadly Jorumun had made a subconscious decision for himself at that moment. To live like this was his life now, to kill to fight to befriend and even behead if needs be. "Akeno don't get lost now ok?" Chuckling the lad called out to her as she went skipping and twirling on ahead of himself. A smile of amusement and compassion filled his face. Yet the man couldn't understand the emotion of compassion even if he tried. Perhaps it was something innate for himself? Something that he could feel but not comprehend. Damn the human species right?! As she stopped he had taken it upon himself to speed up his walking pace. Thus he zipped by her with ease, taking her hand in the same motion Mars led her into the Inn. The building itself was somewhat packed but there were open tables for them as well. Players lined the stools at the bar and near the fire. Laughing and singing could be heard as a loud voice called out orders to the barmaid. Ain't this some shit.. Stopping in his tracks the man looked around then looked up at her. Gesturing towards the table near the fire place it held some privacy and a window view of the outside plaza. "Come on lets go sit over there!!" Walking on he tugged Akeno with him without pause. People were kind enough to part ways and allow them to pass. To some they were shocked to see Akeno, to others they were surprised to see Mars. It wasn't often a child led a grown woman like the adult figure and clearly this was what it looked like. Or was it a date?! Who knew but what they did know was personal space when confronting two demons. | | ✉ | stick your notes in here, but keep it short. use this to tag if you have more than one person to tag. |

Being pulled along, The Cannibal did her best to keep up, eyes glancing around at the strangers as she was hustled into the bar. Strangers, shooting uncomfortable, and occasionally fearful glances towards her made something evil within the core of Akeno chuckle. Something deep down enjoyed the attention, regardless of it's connotation.
"Mhm." She nodded, as the younger looking fellow commented and pulled her to the more secluded table off to the side. With such a nice positioning, it was a surprise the table wasn't taken already. "Wow, nice place!" She glanced around, before taking a seat on her side of the table, crossing her legs left over right, and glancing about. "So... How does this work, cause usually I just hunt my food."
While he had been more accustomed to the life within the city walls, it was soon apparent that The Cannibal had very little knowledge of such customs. Was there a pop up menu? Was there a server of some kind? Eating in an establishment like this one was not something she did very often... Or ever did, in the game. She shot careful glances around the area, hearing loud cheers and noises throughout.

We all die some day! [attr="class","firstfriend"] No Blood No Bone No Ash. orumun laughed at the woman's question and comment. Despite being a savage hunter and light minded person she was quite the joy. Raising a hand the request for service was put into play as the barmaid came to their table. "Simply my dear Akeno you order with this lady here. Raising your arm you can call them over. Swipe your menu open the shop menu is within the contents. You'll be able to order food and drink!" Grinning broadly the young lad leaned back in his chair as he opened the menu swiftly. Ordering up some food he then ordered a drink for himself. "Hey.. Psst.. Can you do me a solid? Order the ale? They won't let me have any in this appearance.." Frowning lightly his hand hovered over the barred off selection of drinks.. There was no joy to be found in a sober life here in a game. Rolling his shoulders back he gestured towards the window lightly as people gathered out side. Pointing at the small gathering of citizens at the center square. "The fireworks will begin shortly and we will be able to see the whole thing from this window, at the same time I have a favorite roof spot I like the watch such events from." Looking over at the lass he wondered if she was up for the fireworks at all. Thought their loud and sparkly display just might keep her and her limbs entertained. Why the hell was he thinking so deeply about her limbs and self being? Was there a reason he found her so interesting besides her adventures and personality? Questions for another time. When the barmaid finally left Mars leaned forward in his chair and maintained a toothy grin. "So so! What did you order? Tell me more about your adventures? Where have you been? What were the landscapes like? What kind of adventure would you like to go on? When do we start this adventure quest?!!" The energy he held over flowed at the thought of adventure with this ominous persona. | | ✉ | stick your notes in here, but keep it short. use this to tag if you have more than one person to tag. |

The Cannibal nodded as she observed the ordeal, first with the barmaid coming over, then having to open up her menu. This menu was rather foreign to her, having hunted most of her food down by hand. Scrolling through the lists, she found herself hypnotized by the options that rested in front of her.
"Mmm..." She thought quietly to herself, finally landing on the mutton curry. She didn't know what mutton was, or what curry was. Both of those words had escaped her vocabulary in her time spent with insanity. But the picture certainly looked delightful, with pieces of meat resting in a bowl. The Cannibal wondered horribly to herself whether it was human meat. And, hearing her companion's plea for alcohol, she then scrolled to that menu.
A list of drinks she'd never heard of, truly it was an unforgiving place for a stranger to be in. Akeno's wide eyes glazed over each of the options, shrugging her shoulders and landing on a choice at random. "Ah, just some soup, I think..." The Cannibal mumbled, turning in her order, before returning to the menu to idly meander the wares. "And ah, um, sunset rum, I think? One for each of us."A very alcoholic beverage, to any who might know of it. The Cannibal, who knew little of the taste of ale and beer would soon learn of the taste, having picked a rather dangerous option unaware.
"Oi, I dunno bout my adventures." Closing down the menu, she chuckled, shrugging her shoulders. She lightly leaned back and forth in her seat. "There was big dragon thingy that flew around a while ago. Killed a whole lot of people." She pursed her lips, glancing darkly to the side. "Glad all my friends made it out okay."
And their order soon arrived, the barmaid quickly sweeping past their table. Truly, the virtual world had some rather fast service, in the food industry.
