(Collab With JD:<span style="color: #0000FF"> Blue</span>)<br/><br/>“Program!? Were you dropped on your gorgeous head when you were a kid? I am Road Kamelot proud servant to my master, and fully sentient thank you.” She huffed and glared at him “This place is very real, watch.” She plays a piano that fades into existence and hits him hard with an armored door. “Also call me sidekick one more time, and i’ll have to stop being nice.” She smirked a bit evilly before the smirk turned to a genuine smile “The next city is carved into the Versai mountains, My master thinks as them as pests so you’ll get a bit of a reward if you destroy them or take them out.”<br/>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>As Ivan and Shadow Link stopped to regard the jumpsuit wearing teenager SOF frowned. Kurisu was still walking without even noticing. He ran up to her “Hey… Kurisu!” She blinked out of her trance like state finally stopping the mechanical motion in her legs “What?” Her voice was neutral almost emotionless, yet with a hint of shaky fear. “Could you wait up a bit? For a little information gathering.” She nodded just slightly and leaned against a nearby tree. SOF felt like she was a closed door right now. He had no idea what to say or how to talk to her, but he didn’t want to leave her like this either. Maybe she needed someone of her own gender to talk to her. She seemed a bit guarded around males. He immediately backed off and left her be for a bit. Kurisu did speak to the group “We should go to the next town like the creepy white skinned elf says… But! Once we are there we are all talking about who we are and where we are from, got it!” she said firmly.<br/>SOF walked over to Shadow Link and Kallen “So, before we go, I want to ask something… mostly of her.” He pointed to Kallen “While i respect Kurisu for her strength and intelligence, She seems to be shutting everything out… can you talk to her and try to cheer her up, she’s a bit guarded with guys.”<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">Kallen sighed. “Sure. I know the feeling to an extent… Lelou-Zero was closed off alot too sometimes. Something I wish was different...” She answered. Kallen walked over to Kurisu. “Hey… how you holding up?” she asked awkwardly at first, looking over at the young genius.<br/> </span><br/>Kurisu glanced up at her and squinted “Who are you?” was her bland and neutral but again shaky response<br/><br/>“My name is Kallen… I don’t really have a good answer for that...” she laughed lightly. “I only remember being rescued by Zero, then BAM, ending up with the soot colored elf guy over there… crazy, huh?”<br/><br/>Kurisu put a thoughtful hand to her chin “We’re similar then… I was talking to a crazy man and then suddenly another crazy man with a metal arm.”<br/><br/>“You mean shortstack over there?” Kallen laughed.<br/><br/>SOF Suddenly felt really irritated for some reason but couldn’t place it, so he pushed the thought away.<br/>Kurisu laughed “Yeah, Shortstack.” She then whispered “He’s really nice though.”<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">Kallen sighed. “You’re lucky, I have a bad feeling about sootskin and his purple bat cloud boy...”<br/> <br/>Vaati smirked and yelled “I can hear both of you, you know that, right?” which caused Kallen to frown, but since she had never heard of Vaati prior to now she wasn’t scared as much as she should have been. “Come on, we should get into the town before nightfall… if there is even a night here...”</span><br/><br/>“The sun has gone down a bit.” Kurisu said “So i assume that there is a night, the bigger question is how are we going to afford food and room with 6 people and none of this land’s currency?”<br/>She then finally gave a small smile and mouthed thanks to Kallen.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">Shadow Link smirked. “Currency huh? I can create fake coins depending on what kind of currency it is… if I remember the stories right...” he remembered the Manga had Shadow Link creating rupees that disappeared upon being used for a certain period of time.</span><br/><br/>“Great now we’re criminals.” Kurisu sighed before SOF interjected “Look, that, or we starve… besides we can make it up to whoever we swindle by doing a favor for them or something, then again what if we get caught?”<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">Vaati sighed. “Look, even if we get caught, which we won’t, I can sustain the fake money as long as we are within 10 miles of the coins in question. If they find out, we’ll be gone before they know.”<br/> <br/>Kallen frowned. “So like she said. Criminals.”<br/> <br/>Shadow Link wanted to refuse so badly but once again he was being compelled to just do whatever it took to survive and not argue. <span style="font-style: italic">I am seriously going insane… something is very wrong here!</span> He thought trying to figure out why he was inclined to be so mischievous.</span><br/><br/>Kurisu squinted and rubbed her chin “I really don’t want to do this, but, if it is just this once then i’m inclined to agree, as long as we come and pay the innkeeper back at a later date… somehow.”<br/>SOF nodded “It shouldn’t be hard to find work, this is a semi fantasy world from what i’ve seen and most of us have a lot of good skills to be adventurers.”
