JDizzle walked around pretty much aimlessly for a while after everyone else left. Rukia followed him, which he was grateful for. That emotion was cut short as soon as she grabbed his hand.<br/><br/>"We need to talk about something." She said as they walked along.<br/><br/>"What do you want to talk about? I don't suppose this can wait till later, can it?" he asked her.<br/><br/>She stopped walking abruptly. "When we get back to your 'real world'..." she paused and looked him in the eyes. "I want to meet your parents."<br/><br/>JD paled considerably and looked frightened for his life. "Yo-You were serious about the g-girlfriend thing? I thought that was a joke!"<br/><br/>"Nope. 'fraid not. You do realize I don't have any other options, right? I don't exist as far as the government of your world is concerned, remember?"<br/><br/>"Well yeah, but... my parents are just... I mean they don't exactly... Oh look, We seem to have found a shopping mall of some sort!" JD exclaimed, lamely redirecting the questions that he would have to deal with at some point. Rukia noticed his nervousness, and so decided to bring it up again later.<br/><br/>~~~~~~<br/><br/>"Excuse me, sir! Might I interest you in a- HOLY CRAP!!! Kirito!." a vendor exclaimed. JD looked over to find a familiar face. "Lisbeth? Wait... you ARE an NPC... right?"<br/><br/>"Well... that's going to be irrelevant soon, but yeah. Does it bother you?" She said, nodding and rearranging some of her inventory.<br/><br/>"Not really... Wait! Woahwoahwoah, back up for a second! what do you mean it's irrelevant?" Rukia exclaimed.<br/><br/>Lisbeth laughed goodnaturedly, and smiled. "That would ruin the fun of it! Besides, I've already said more than I should. now are you here for any armor or weapons, or do I really have to kick a prodigy out of my shop?"<br/><br/>JDizzle ended up buying a second sword for use with his dual wield skill, but that liquidated his funds. Rukia actually found a katana similar to her soul cutter, but as it didn't have the same properties as the original, she would just be using it as a melee weapon.<br/><br/>A few moments later, the two were standing on the registration floor of the Duelist Building. JD opened his friend list and noticed something he had overlooked before. Pressing a button labeled "CHAT" he began a group call with everyone. "Listen up guys! Something weird is going on, but I don't have enough information on it yet. A direct conversation with an NPC vendor has brought the reason for this "Game" into question. meet us in the Duelist Building, Second Floor, Registration Block D4. This is Urgent! Something weird is going on here!"
