[ Shijima hadn't really wanted to pick a profile from the list. A dating game? What interest did she have in literally any of that nonsense?
But.
But she'd recognized a face, if not the name. After all her time in Cerealia without recognizing any of the waves of new people, it stuck out, and she'd immediately selected Gau's profile out of curiosity and been transported into the game. Ugh, she's never been a fan of ViViD, but...
There are new people and NPCs mixing. Some old faces she recognizes, but she doesn't flag down anyone she knows and doesn't stop to chat, standing on tip toe but still unable to see above the crowd. She doesn't know his scent well enough to pick it out of this crowd, but when he finally starts shouting something...
There we go.
Shijima darts through the crowd of players and game AIs, metal claws hooked over her fingers. She doesn't stop until she comes out behind Gau, where she promptly slices the neck of someone creeping up on him. The body drops, and blood sprays...well, all over the place. Sorry, Gau. ]
You. [ Said in an almost surprised and certainly annoyed tone of voice. ] ...Pick a weapon you can actually use properly, idiot.
