Snow hummed a slight tune to herself, weaving in and out between the bodies of people just looking to pass by her. The tune itself was drowned out by the deafening chatter of the crowd surrounding the cramped market district. She had lost track of time herself so it was hard to say if the merchants had made quick work of profiting off the new adventurers. It certainly had it's charms if one were to look closely at the displayed items in front of questionably named stalls. It was like a museum except, ten times more noisy and certainly more pushy.

As much as she would have liked to walk through and inspect each item, it was practically impossible leaving her with no choice but to leave. Thankfully, it was almost time for the market's 'rush hour' to die down and she could use the time to catch her breath until then. Directions weren't her strong point and where the crowd pushes and pulls, that's where she went. Snow was bumped into roughly at least three times before finally stumbling free into the nearest alleyway. There wasn't much to see there but another player -- how curious!

"Hello, what are you doing here?" Snow asked near breathlessly, still catching up on some of the air that was recently knocked out of her. The woman squatted down near the nameless stranger filled with anticipation, a bright smile on her face.

Snow waited patiently for the stranger to react to her question, not realizing that he had been asleep the entire time. At first, she suspected he was hard of hearing almost tempted to shout right next to his ear in hopes that would do the trick. After some thought, it became increasingly odd to her that he hadn't moved in the slightest. Was he dead? Snow wondered, reaching out her hand slowly to shake the rather still body. Before she had gotten the chance to even touch the player, he had begun to show signs of life. Snow's eyes widened at the miraculous sight, a goofy grin replacing her previous smile. She listened intently to his words with growing curiosity.

A quest?

Snow blinked, a 'hmmm' escaping her steadily in response to the question. She stood up abruptly, brushing herself off of any dirt that may have gotten onto her outfit. "I was not," she answered, "but, I could and I think I will." Snow beamed back. "Can I help you with yours?" she offered, extending a hand towards the male as she added on, "I'm Snowlight, but you can just call me Snow."

"Pleasure is all mine, Blank." Snow nodded, breaking off the shake to turn her attention to the notification pop-up. It didn't matter how many times she had read through the interface, it still never failed to keep her attention. Snow squinted at the screen, finger hovering over the two available options marked as simply accept or decline. Decline? No, no... accept! Upon her touch, the screen disappeared with a satisfied 'beep' completing the party request.

Snow perked up at Blank's voice as he explained the mission only for it to be cut short by a shrill scream. Her head turned towards the direction of the source. "Suppose that's our cue," Snow spoke happily, jabbing a thumb towards the market's streets. Her frown deepened when she took a better look at the current congestion that looked worse than earlier. Everyone was now frantically shoving to make an effort to catch the culprit lost in the seas of bodies.

Snow tapped a finger thoughtfully against her lip for a moment, head shaking. Tilting her head up, a simple 'oh' slipped from her. Snow grinned to herself an idea had crossed her mind and one that she thought was quite clever. She began with a step pushing off the wall of the alleyway, transitioning smoothly into an easy flip, one after the other until she was perched on the very top. [HELSKÓR] had it's many uses and that was definitely one of her favorites thus far.

Snow leaned forward, looking down on Blank with a proud smile. "I'll hurry on ahead so we don't lose the villain! I think I saw him run towards that way!" she shouted. Looking around with her new perspective, Snow pointed north almost sure that she had seen the suspicious figure darting away in the same direction. They were already losing out on time. Without another word, Snow lept effortlessly onto the rooftop next to the one that she was standing on. One last wave was all she left for Blank.

Snow made quick work of the distance with her ability to modify her weight as she easily crossed from rooftop to rooftop. Her eyes were glued to the streets, keep a careful watch on the people below and keeping her eyes peeled for the suspects. She was like a hawk gliding across the sky in search of prey. What she didn't see though, was her partner. Worry stuck to the back of her mind but, her focus kept her going until she flipped herself off her current perch, landing deftly on her feet. [HELSKÓR] had worn off and not only that, she lost sight of the robbers.

Snow frowned as she looked around at her surroundings. She wasn't quite sure of where she was but it was a secluded and open area. If she had to guess, it was most likely a square of some sort. Snow sighed heavily,
scratching her head on answers on what to do now. She thought over options and even considered running back to the alleyway as a last resort. Snow mumbled to herself until it was drowned out by the sounds of heavy footsteps quickly approaching her.

Blue eyes looked up towards the source of the unidentified noise. From where she stood, she could make out the silhouettes of two people. Both seemingly bulky in size and clothed in nothing but black. Snow's head tilted to the side as she watched them. They were slowly coming into view as the sound grew increasingly deafening though, not enough for her to cover her ears.

Wonder what that could be?
