Who: Naoki (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
masakados) & Elsa (shivered)
When: IC: 12/07, backdated!!
Where: ViViD
What: Naoki being the absolute best influence and attempting to train queens into elite gamers--
Rating/Warning: Should be none!!
[Generally, Naoki has got an eye for the people that he sees in ViViD. He's in there often enough that he just remembers people that he passes. He doesn't often approach others in the game unless he happens to know them, or they grab him first, just because he's usually in the middle of level grinding or what have you and that can be boring. He's level grinding again today, even.
Today's setting is a frosty cold village, and he wonders if they're going with the Christmas theme in ViViD now. Hmm, maybe they'll switch it up later this month. He's already heard some stuff about Yetis or what have you up in the mountains nearby this NPC village, and he's all prepared with his supplies to head out.
However. Over there? A face he recognises but surprises him to see.]
--Elsa? [He doesn't think he's spotted her in ViViD before or, at least, not at the same time as him. More than that, it's been a little while now.]

But yeah, let's go, Elsa.
[Back into the snowy village!!]
no subject
[Okay. She can get behind that. She did a lot of reading in her time alone in her room, okay? So that's a good explanation, Naoki! Excellent job.
Her step is a bit lighter now as they head out! To the snow! Really she likes the snow. It feels pretty comfortable. And because she's getting excited now, she doesn't think before reaching out to grab Naoki's arm gently, tugging.] Let's talk to this person? [They look quest-giving-y....]
no subject
--looks good. Let's. [He grins. She's getting into it, good! He turns to walk with her toward the NPC in question... who starts talking without needing to be prompted as they approach, greeting them before starting on a troubled speech about a missing heirloom-- ah, a fetch quest...]
no subject
Oh... so that's what we need to do? To find the heirloom they're talking about?
[That sounds pretty straightforward actually. All right. Elsa nods to herself.]
no subject
Looks like it. It could be in a cave somewhere, or it might have been taken by a particular monster... How about it?
[He prods the NPC for more details, and gets a rote retelling of how oh no, the heirloom was taken away by a fearsome snow monster...] See? If you ever don't get enough details, just ask and they've usually got hints.
no subject
Elsa listens carefully as the NPC goes and gives them information, nodding to herself. Fearsome snow monster. She's totally got this. ...though in a way she is a fearsome snow monster herself so she may have to overcome sympathizing with the monster here.]
Ah! All right. So it's like investigating for the pieces of a puzzle. Do you think we know enough to find it?
no subject
Yeah, exactly. [Naoki grins.] I think we've got enough to get started. We don't gotta stick around here any longer. We'll find more clues out there, too.
...or we'll run into it randomly.
no subject
But Elsa finds herself grinning back, nodding. All right. Time to get going. It's a mystery to figure out, right?]
Then let's go! Hopefully we'll get lucky, but I bet we can figure it out anyway. You seem to know what you're doing, so I think I've found myself a pretty great guide.
no subject
At this rate, you're gonna make me blush.
[Naoki's laughing but no really he's about this close because compliments-- He starts to walk with an inviting tip of his head.] Let's head into the forest first, and if we don't find it there, we'll head closer to the mountain.
no subject
[Elsa informs him, oh so helpfully, a teasing smile on her features. So she's loosening up a little -- in this place over all, but around people she's getting to know especially. Naoki certainly counts high on that list anyway.
But she nods, a determined gesture.] That sounds like a plan. Is there anything we should look out for?
no subject
Hmm. Signs of something big... you know, broken branches, giant footprints... and then we should probably listen out for something that sounds hungry.
[Just in case.]
no subject
Oh.
[She answers, looking over at him, eyebrows lifted.] That's reassuring. So. Listen out and stay off the menu?
[She is on this.]
no subject
Naoki just smiles at her at that oh, a bit playful, mischievous. Isn't he just the most reassuring?]
Bingo. I figure that if it's us, we'll be able to manage that no problem.
