Chapter 1: Name TBA

"Okay. Just uh four coins will be okay."
I really had no idea how much money I'll need.

=i get up and walk into his room, taking out four coins. I hold em up then toss them over to him=
Don't spend it all in one place.

=i half-grin at the joke=

I kinda smile, the joke going over my head.

"Thanks. Now we're going to have a little trouble convincing the locals to not form a angry mob. The way they look at us.."

They won't do anything if we leave tomorrow. It's not how they work.

"Yeah. Let's just finish today so we can leave quickly."

Yeah. Get some sleep. Tomorrow we'll keep moving.

=i go back into my room=
We need to keep moving if we are going to get back in time.

"Alright. uh.. Night."

I go over and close my door. Then head to my bed for sleep.

=i lie down on my bed and close my eyes, keeping Meris alert so no one could sneak up on me=

=follows them=

{something seems off lately}

-why what's up aurora-

{not sure but be careful}

-as always-

I sleepily open my eyes and come to. I reached for my weap- Malice and used it to help me stand.
My mouth and throat are dry from leaving my mouth open. So I went to the bathroom and used my hands to drink from.
Wearily I stretched out my arms and left the room. I lightly knock on Nerim's door.

(Nerim)
=i hear the knock on my door and instantly get up out of bed. I walk over, holding my weapon against my arm. I speak through the door=
Who is it?

"Jisr. Did I awake you?"
I looked down the hall.
"Lets go ahead and leave early."

--Yes, you did Jisr. I'm Meris, by the way--

=i open the door and look around the hall=
Yeah. Let's go.

=i start to head down the stairs=

I catch up to him.
"Wait. Your weapon can talk to others."

Yes it can. All weapons can talk to others. Talk to yours, see if it wants to. It has a mind, you know.

"It.. it.."
You can?
[Yep. You didn't know that? Did you really go to school?]
Uh.. yeah.
"Huh. That's..."

[Hello Nerim and Meris, I'm Malice.]
That surprised me.

--Hello Malice--

Hello Malice.

=we reach the bottom of the stairs and i slide the keys along the counter towards the bartender before heading to the door=

Well this is nice. Having a companion all the time. Sorta like a conscious.
We were about to leave town before I remembered we might need supplies.
"Wait. How long is this journey?"

=i shrug=
No idea. We just need to keep going until we find friendlies.

"I think we should get some tents and food before he head out. It might be awhile before we find them."

You afraid of sleeping in the wilderness?

"N-no. Nevermind. Let's get going."
[You afraid of the outside?]
No. Its just we might go hungry.

=we head out of the inn and towards the town gates=
There was something on your mind, otherwise you would not have said anything. What was it?

I thought for a moment then spoke.
"What if we go starve to death? Or maybe attacked at night by animals?"

You have a spear, do you not? And I have a scythe, do I not?
