Mari wasn't too interested in anything Kira was doing. It seemed like she was off in her own world as she created her assistant. It was quite easy to tell what she might come up with though. Her attention remained on the large statue, examining it carefully for a gem similar to the one Aki had on her statue. However, her search hadn't resulted in anything. "Ah...this is so annoying. Is it really necessary to have these riddles everywhere?" she muttered to herself. It was a bad habits of hers to stop playing a game if it irritated her too much like this. She was far too impatient for stuff like this and simply wanted to play the game. She turned her head to glance over to Aki, wondering just how glad she would be to have her assistant with her. She managed to catch a glimpse of the girl melting away into the shadows, moving around her. She could see how troubled Aki looked as she was being groped, and it was only made even more odd to know this was an NPC doing this to her. Was there something wrong with the system already? Either way, the sight wasn't very pleasing to her. "Hey! I don't know what your deal is, but you better take your hands off her Aki right now! You hear me?!" she stomped her foot impatiently as she did this, though on the last stomp, things started to get a little weird.<br/><br/>The second her foot touched the ground again, everything seemed to stop around her, kind of like when your computer screen freezes but you could only move the mouse around. Well, Mari was the mouse right now. Everything around her had turned to a bright shade of black, with everything else in a bright white outline. It was as though she had been transported to some lifeless void. "Wha-? What the hell is this?!" she cried. She tried to move her feet, though it felt like they had been super glued to the ground. She could move everything else though. "Are you serious? What is this? A virus?" It didn't seem like she could log out either. One way or another, it felt like she was really stuck in this game.<i>"Mortal...you seek the power of the Deadly Sins as well. Speak your name, and your desires will be fulfilled..."</i>"Huh?" Her surroundings faded into the shadows, and the image of the statue soon appeared before her, looming over her like a bully and its victim. "M-my name?" Something about this statue gave her the creeps now. Numerous 'eyes' were glowing red, while its claws looked as though they were ready to dice her up. Either way, she had to speak her name? Simply stating her real name seemed so odd, especially with the way this game was going. She remebered that in order to enjoy this more, she'd have to really get into this. There was really only one name she could go by here. "Fancy_Brat"<i>"It is your name no longer. You only wish to be the strongest among mortals, standing above all that dare oppose your might. Your <u>pride</u> is what will bring you to the top, along with your insatiable <u>wrath</u>."</i>She seemed a little insulted. "I'm not that angry am I?"<i>"Now...you will awaken once more. Rise."</i><br/><br/>Mari blinked. Everything around her was back to normal. Kira was finishing up her customization, and Aki was still being molested. She was about to run off and try and stop the girl, but she could hear a voice. "Uhn..." She turned her head, at first noticing how the statue had suddenly disappeared from its spot.<i>"W-what the...? What was that just now then?"</i>It was then that she noticed the figure of the small<a class="link link--external" href="http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&amp;s=view&amp;id=789373" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">girl</a>where the statue had been. For some odd reason, she could see some similiarities between them. "H-hey? Are you okay?" she asked, quickly making her way over to the girl. She knelt down near her, gently shaking her. She seemed unconcious, though she wasn't sure why. Slowly, her eyes began to flutter open, turning to look up at Mari. "You...are..." she spoke breifly. Mari almost wasn't able to hear it. "Huh? Hello? Are you all right?" Without warning, the girl had suddenly wrapped her arms around her, pulling her in close. "W-what?!" She tried to pull away, though this girl was deceptively strong. "Pride...it's you."<i>"Pride?! Wait a second...that creepy statue said something funny earlier too. Something about my pride...it's a name now?!"</i>She remembered it said something about her username no longer being her name here. And this girl was calling her Pride? Then again, she looked a little like the statue, especially those blood red eyes. "Are you perhaps...?" She paused, thinking if she would say her next words.<br/><br/>"...Wrath?" The girl pulled back a bit, looking rather confused. "Pride...? You don't remember-?" She but herself short as she got a good look at her face. It was as though Mari looked like this 'Pride' person, but had been mistaken for them. she suddenly pushed back. "H-how dare you deceive me! Who are you? I demand to know!" Mari was more or less shocked at her sudden outburst. "W-what the hell? That's what I should be asking!" The girl crossed her arms, looking rather disappointed with her response. "You already spoke my name. I am Wrath. How is it that you know my name?"<i>"This...arrogant brat! It was just a hunch after that statue gave that speech!"</i>she thought. "I'm just as confused as you are okay?!" The girl stood up, looking down at her as though she were inferior. Still, if Mari stood up she'd clearly be taller. This little fireball still gave off this large presence though. "You...have the presence of Pride. I don't know why this is." Mari grumbled a little at her words. "No kidding."<i>"Again with the Pride thing?"</i>"However..." Wrath spoke up again. "...you look far too weak to be Pride. How disappointing." That got Mari steaming. She stood up, glaring down at this girl. "W-what?! Listen you runt! I don't want to hear stuff like that coming from a little brat like you! You think you're really tough huh? I'll take you on right here, right now!" Even if she said that, she was still a rather low level. If this girl had anything to do with that statue, she was clearly screwed. "Hmph. I'd rather not humiliate you. Still...you seem quite interesting. Maybe I'll stick around for a little while, just so I can mock you at every given second." Mari grumbled at her comments. At this point, she was thinking she'd rather be molested than being bad-mouthed by some AI. "You're just trying to pick a fight aren't you?"
