As she was rubbing her cheek, she couldn't help but be thinking that if she saw trolls again, it wouldn't be but a moment too soon as she had just gotten done dealing with some trolls on the outskirts of LA. Really, she had heard about different and various insects that had taken up residences. That was some of the stuff she was more interested in. Is what had happend to all the insects she used to know. Clearly, Earthchan knew about insects previous because her own abilites were based off insects that she didn't know if they existed or not. Or well at least, she didn't know what forms they existed in anymore. [break][break]

But of course, as she was walking through LA, this time not even making it out of the city, a small pop up appeared that there were trolls on the bridge above that were blocking the way. And that she was being invited, yet again, to partake in hunting trolls. And so with a roll of her eyes she'd hit accept, if only because she knew that in this world you needed to accept these missions to gain points to survive, and she was still at such a low level that any points were worth it. [break][break]

Looking at the new shoes that she had bought, she'd look at their slippery function and realize it was about to be time to put them into action and see just how good they were. Looking at the nearest on ramp and starting to run towards it and noticing that someone else had taken the mission. Someone named Jonas? She hadn't heard of him before but that's mostly because she hadn't heard of many people before. Well, only way to find out how helpful he would be was to go find him, as she'd make her way to the top of the highway from the on ramp she'd look to see if anybody up here looked like an Jonas.

As she was coming up the highway, she'd spot somebody who would wave at her, which to her, was as good a sign as any that this here was her partner. Waving back to him as she'd start to run over to where he was. [break][break]

Fortunately enough for her, she was still closer to him than they were to the encroaching trolls, because as she suddenly saw a car flipping she was a bit more than startled. After all, she thought she was taking on a nice simple mission based on the trolls that she had fought last time. How could the system call the little ones that she fought last time trolls as well as the ones she fought this time? They were nowhere close to the same because the ones last time couldn't have flipped a car with a simple club, hell they couldn't have held up the club! [break][break]

But gripes about the system aside she'd finally catch up to her partner as she'd say to him. "Any great ideas on how to do that?" She'd ask to him as he'd suddenly start to emit a death metal scream. Immediately causing some of the more easily to spook trolls to flee, but still leaving plenty for them to have to deal with. "Ok noted, you are definitely a bit of a higher level than I am."[.b] She'd say back to him before adding. "In that case do you wanna be in charge? I'll help out how you need." She'd say to him. "But I do best when I can get up close to the target. That's where I can really shine." She'd say back to him finally.[break][break]

To be fair, she hated admitting that he was stronger than her. She couldn't wait till she was to the point that she was able to just storm up to those trolls and defeat them in an overwhelmingly one sided fight. One that would cause fear in those that watched at her overwhelming might.... but thoughts of a time that certainly weren't now, and most likely still far off for her. But well, still good to dream big right? Though that might be best to dream of for the future as right now. The thud near her from the car landing somewhat close to her would jolt her out of her delusions of grandeur. [break][break]

As she'd quickly start to look to him for guidance... he gave her pretty much just what she was expecting. Go do what she was best at and let him do his thing. "Sounds good, I'll go give them a nice startle." She'd say to him with a smile. Though unfortunately, she didn't really have anything that was overly loud and annoying. But startling? Startling was definitely something she could do. Hoping that the fact she was much smaller would be a good distraction for her to be able to sneak up on them. That's how she'd give him a nice real scare....[break][break]

Running through the stalled cars as some people remained in their cars and others had already long abandoned theirs. She'd be able to see his shots fire off and quickly start to scare off groups of the trolls. Showing just how strong he was and making her hope that she'd eventually be strong enough to be.... far stronger than him. But for now, she'd feel a tinge of hunger as she'd charge up to an unassuming troll. One that had no idea she was coming as she'd quickly run up and extend her stinger. Jabbing it into it's knee to give it a crippling pain. Which would have been scary enough if it weren't actually for the fact that she'd then use her maw and attempt to bite the creature. Luckily this one seemed to be weak enough that even her mouth was able to take out a small chunk. Which she would happily gulp down. Though she knew that little bite wouldn't fill her, it was enough for the troll to start running. As well as for her own power to start to swell. This was the first of what she hoped would be many. Or well, many bites. A full meal.

A quick swallow of the troll flesh was all it took for another rumble to come from her belly. Although she felt herself somewhat invigorated from it... it was never enough. She had never truly felt full ever since she had been sent back to this new place. This new feeling being a curse on her existence. Though the other benefits she's gained... have managed to far outweight the bad. [break][break]

She was just turning around to tell her partner about the fact that they have finished. That they won and had managed to fend off the surprisingly-much-larger-than-she-expected trolls that had come for them. But it was just at that moment that she saw the man being bashed by a club. A hit into his side that she figured surely would have done some severe damage to her as she would start to run back over towards him. Seeing him actually manage to stand back up filled her with some happiness as she saw him shoot a bullet into one head... to no effect. Causing her to pause momentarily. [break][break]

Was that pause enough that it was the difference between her partners life and death? No probably not. A rainbow shot being the next that came from him in frustration. One that was clearly done out of his total contempt for the situation. But one that was a blast strong enough it looked like it knocked out the head that it hit. And that left the remaining awake head running for the hills. Seemingly a small ding going off as if the mission was completed as she snapped herself out of her panic. Running over and looking at him. Seeing his eyes closed she knew that she didn't have anything to help she'd pick up his body. Carrying it over to the taxi he had jumped out of and putting it in the backseat as she'd start to panic. Before looking over at him and noticing finally that... his chest wasn't moving. [break][break]

Pushing the body over she'd start to panic. Hyperventilating in the seat as she'd start to realize more that this wasn't just a game. That this was still real life. That people die here. She hadn't fully realized it yet but death was a real possibility. And it triggered two things in her. It meant first off that she had to get stronger. She needed to if she was going to survive. And she was going to no matter what it takes. But it also meant a second thing... revenge. She could finally take it out on everyone that had wronged her. Finally show everyone what true power would really be. A smile cracking onto her face as she'd hear her stomach growl again. Her hunger reminding her that it was still there as a window would pop up from her class. EAT THE BODY FOR POINTS? a subtle reminder to her of one of the features of her class. That she could devour other players and make their strength her own. Her smile starting to take over her body once more as she'd look over at the still warm body next to her. [break][break]

With the meal finished she'd continue looking around the taxi. He was a much higher leveled player than her. His points alone was enough to confirm that as she'd look at her new tally of bio-essence. Looking throughout the taxi for any other items he might have had in here and grabbing what she could she'd tally her spoils later.... for now. She would quickly get out of the taxi and start to make her own getaway. After all, she didn't want to be caught just yet. Maybe in the future she would. But certainly now was far too early.
