<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/SSS5X8z.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Akonoh<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cottage<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Artorius, Sara, everyone in general<br/><br/><hr/><br/>While the other players had marched back to the cottage with the familiar feeling of pride at a job well done, the relative noob Akonoh was absolutely giddy with excitement, "wow that was amazing! I had never seen anything like that before. I can't believe they actually made something that big. I mean I've seen my daughter fighting stuff like that on her video games before, but seeing it up close instead of just on a screen....no wonder people get so addicted to these things..." Akonoh cooed, having never gone on a raid before now, and thus never having encountered the kind of massive raid bosses like Chygess that populated the end-game of big MMOs like this. The sheer amount of special content and development that had gone into a raid versus the regular low level stuff she was used to doing had left her baffled and amazed the entire way through, obviously not knowing that these parts of the game where were the devs sunk most of their money and development time. As such the matronly cat girl almost spent more time gawking at art assets and cool set pieces than actually fighting.<br/><br/>Her lack of attentiveness hadn't gone unrewarded however, the older woman somehow managing to slip by with one of the best drops from the entire raid, Akonoh chuckling as she flicked her new starlight rapier on (https://i.imgur.com/qdPXPqw.jpg) and off (https://i.imgur.com/3KRqapB.png) repeatedly, marveling at the animation of the mana blade coming to life, "heheh...so pretty..." she mused, so caught up in how cool the pseudo-light saber was that she hadn't even bothered to check its stats yet...<br/><br/>As they arrived at the cottage Akonoh let out a small yawn, prompted by her real life body's fatigue, "Hwaaah...still, that was kinda long wasn't it? I mean I understand it's big and strong and what not, but do they really have to give it that much health? I wonder if I'll be able to find the time to do something like that again..." she mused, also unaccustomed to raids being big, multi-hour long affairs. She had gotten lucky tonight because her husband called and let her know he'd be at work late tonight working on a new case, but even with her increased free time lately this was kinda pushing it, it'd be hard to work stuff like this into her schedule. Her tiredness was quickly forgotten, however, upon seeing the incredibly luxurious, yet oddly cozy manor Sara had led them to, "oh wow, so this is like, your house? You actually own it and everything?" she asked, going around poking her head through every door she could find, marveling at how beautiful it all was. She also felt a small pang of jealous, dang this girl was a better house decorator in a video game than she was in real life!<br/><br/>Hearing the call for healers Akonoh dutifully skipped her way into the cool looking church-room...place...though as the red headed mage started droning on and on the beastkin found her head tilting and her ears twitching quizzically, not really getting what she was talking about at all. Glancing over at Artorius, the cute little knight who<em>apparently</em>was actually a boy, how that was possible she had no idea since he was way too cute, she would lean in and whisper in his ear, "Ummm, what does she mean 'failure'? I thought we won...?" she asked, not really seeing how they could talk about being unsuccessful when they<em>were</em>successful. Still, she could understand the instructions of "come to the front and tell us how things went" easily enough, so with a pep in her step Akonoh made her way to the front and casually plopped down on the little cushion, "Well, I think today was super fun and went really well!" she expressed with the kind of earnest smile that made it clear that, for better or worse, she was being completely genuine in her optimistic assessment of their performance, "I've never done a raid before, or worked as part of a guild before either, and while I was pretty nervous going in I have to say it was really exciting getting to play alongside everyone in such a big group. Seeing you guys fight that giant dragon was really amazing, and I even got to beat up one of the little dragons myself, though I kinda felt bad since it was just a little baby...awwww, poor thing..." she cooed, clapping her hands over her cheeks as she fretted over the mob enemy's cruel fate, "It wasn't easy of course, and I can tell everyone was working really hard, you should all be proud of yourselves for that, you're all super good! I'm glad Sara let me know about this place so I could join such a cool group...Oh and I got this cool sword out of it!" she cooed, holding up her starlight rapier and rapidly flicking the blade on and off like it was a flashlight, "It's really pretty huh? So I'd say today was a huge success" she explained proudly, placing her hands on her hips and giving a confident nod, seeming to completely miss the point of the "confession".
