Well, this is not how Blank expected to start the day.
He was running for his life or at least what was left of it. A few boars didn't take kindly to him playing with their young and chased him far away from their home. So far that he was almost certain that they were chasing him mostly for the fun of it. Now, any self-respecting adventurer would turn around and gut them where they stood. However, Blank wasn't trying to be a self-respecting adventurer and he doubted that his rusted blade would have much affect against them.
So while he ran for his life, ducking under branches and leaping over bushes, it hadn't occurred to him that the boars may have stopped their pursuit. Or at least it didn't occur to him until he dug his heels into the dirt and stopped at the sight of a glistening lake. It was beautiful. Untouched by man, surrounded by a sea of flowers and absolutely breathtaking. Blank's momentary pause reminded him that the boars may have been gaining haste and he quickly ducked into the underbrush, crawling closer and closer to the lake.
Though once he was surrounded by the flowers, he felt a calm wash over him. A sweet and gentle warm embrace surrounded him as he rested his weary body in a bed of orchids. It felt wonderful and so serene where he was. The aches in his bones melted away replaced with a warm which was without equal.
I should get up but maybe I can rest here for a little while.

[attr="class","teal"] Freshwater was always a disappointment to the gilled youngling, but she had to admit that the lake and surrounding forest was easy on the eyes. She'd heard the water here was good for crafting as well, though had no clue how to utilize it. Crafting was kinda low priority at the moment, despite her being amped to craft her own mounts pre-game. Now it just seemed like extra work, work she could easily pawn off to someone else with the right amount of coin. Sticking close to shore out of wariness of what lurked in the deeper end, Vi slapped at a passing school of low class fish. As expected, they all shot off in different directions. "Punk ass fish," she snarled back in irritation. See, for the past twenty minutes or so, the so called apex predator of sea critters was struggling (and failing miserably) to catch something. So far she'd managed to spear a boot. She was starting to think it a stupid waste of her time. The sound of something crashing through the trees the grace of a newborn giraffe eventually caught her attention. Curious, and with little regard of her own life, the girl slowly drifted her head above water. The clearing was no longer empty, like she last left it. Wiggling through trees and underbrush was a pale boy, with even lighter hair. Vi looked both ways before slowly emerging from the water, clad in only the horribly unattractive and generic underclothes that were normally covered by her potato sack. She hefted her equally dull spear into her hands, though did not immediately move to throw it into the boy. He wasn't a monster, but he was hella dumb to nap out in the open. Her aim wasn't that good, anyway. As if to demonstrate her lack of skill, the girl chucked the spear as hard as she could in the boy's general direction. It made an unpleasant noise when it struck something sturdy and dropped into a mass of flowers. Make that regret number two of the day. ✏: Blank's that one drunk chick at the party@: blank [attr="class","Roadhead"][googlefont="Iceland:400"]- J [newclass=.teal]padding-top:10px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:10px;background-color:#f1f0ef;font-size:11px;color:#2b2b2b;font-family:calibri;text-align:justify;[/newclass] [newclass=.teal b]color:#169199;[/newclass] [newclass=.Roadhead]font-family:'Iceland';font-style:normal;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;color:#1da074;text-align:center;-webkit-transition: all .5s linear;-moz-transition: all .5s linear;-ms-transition: all .5s linear;-o-transition: all .5s linear;transition: all .5s linear;[/newclass] [newclass=.Roadhead:hover]color: #bc4c72;-webkit-transition: all .5s linear;-moz-transition: all .5s linear;-ms-transition: all .5s linear;-o-transition: all .5s linear;transition: all .5s linear;[/newclass]

The nap was peaceful or at least as peaceful as a nap could be. He could feel little flecks of sunlight kissing his skin and warmth spreading throughout his body. Sometimes, his fingers would curl or flex as if trying to find something to hold onto. But for the most part he was gently breathing and just sleeping. That was until something came whistling through the air and landing in the bed of violets nearest to him. Blank's eyes shot open and he quickly rolled onto his side, grabbing the hilt of his sword and pulling it from its scabbard. He crouched down ready to pounce on his enemy only to find that it was a girl. A young one at that. Blank looked, and there was no one else in the clearing which could only mean that she was the one who threw the spear. Slowly he stood to his feet but made no move to sheathe his sword. "I'm gonna assume that you either have a vendetta against me," he said. "Or you're just messing with me because I was sleeping in the open."In retrospect, it was a bad idea to sleep when he was defenseless but he was tired. dikSlaughter

[attr="class","teal"] Only a heavy sleeper could sleep through the racket, and this guy seemed more on the lighter side of the spectrum. Hunched over, arms dangling before her, Vi only watched as the boy pulled himself to his feet. And -- "Oi."Her head involuntarily tipped to the side when she saw the sword. Okay, that was fair. She'd do the same if someone tried to penetrate her in her sleep. But she missed, her spear was far out of reach and she lacked offense even with it. What was he gonna do, anyway? Chase after her? She was part fish. Watery depths were her domain. There was also the possibility of him waiting her out, like an adamant dog. She cocked her head to the other side, unblinking as she took him in. That sword looked as impressive as her piece of shit. "You were sleeping and looked soft. I was bored," she stated in a matter of fact tone, shoulders briefly rising up in a shrug. She'd never seen him before, but was also the sort to hold a grudge. "Why the first, tho? Do you normally pass out in random places and piss tourists or somethin'?"✏: The Kid Who Drowned At Summer Camp@: blank [attr="class","Roadhead"][googlefont="Iceland:400"]- J [newclass=.teal]padding-top:10px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:10px;background-color:#f1f0ef;font-size:11px;color:#2b2b2b;font-family:calibri;text-align:justify;[/newclass] [newclass=.teal b]color:#169199;[/newclass] [newclass=.Roadhead]font-family:'Iceland';font-style:normal;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;color:#1da074;text-align:center;-webkit-transition: all .5s linear;-moz-transition: all .5s linear;-ms-transition: all .5s linear;-o-transition: all .5s linear;transition: all .5s linear;[/newclass] [newclass=.Roadhead:hover]color: #bc4c72;-webkit-transition: all .5s linear;-moz-transition: all .5s linear;-ms-transition: all .5s linear;-o-transition: all .5s linear;transition: all .5s linear;[/newclass]

After the veil of sleep left him, Blank noticed that she did look almost like a fish. A human fish. Not mermaid-like but more shark and man mixed together. He lowered his sword and frowned. If she came from the pond then that meant she must've lived there which could only mean that he was in the wrong here. Well, that was embarrassing. He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed as he sheathed his sword. "Not exactly," he said. "I don't remember anything or anyone so for someone to attack me out of nowhere-"He made a grand sweeping gesture to the spear embedded in the bed of violets. Honestly, if she was a little better aiming then he'd be dead. He'd have to make sure this was the last time that he fell asleep out in the open. Or at least, the last time he did it without clearing the area. "It was more surprising than anything else."He settled his hands on his hips, glancing over his shoulder for a moment. His pursuers were more than likely gone and he could leave but he'd rather sit down and talk to whomever this was. A name floated over her head but he probably wouldn't say it out loud. "You live here?"dikSlaughter
