She couldn't wait to start the mission. Before she stepped forward, the system opened up in front of her again with a message. [Partner found!] She blinked at the name. She thought it sounded familiar some way, but the memory of the name only tickled at the back of her brain. She forgot about it - there were more pressing matters at the moment. None of the artwork at the Louvre could be destroyed by the monsters - plus, after they defeated the monsters they'd get to tour the place! How exciting!

"Emir Nebu.. I hope we get along okay.." She blinked. Having a bad partner for fighting was always terrible. Sometimes, just sometimes, she hadn't gotten along well with people online, but still played a really good game together. Personalities didn't always clash well, but skills could. She wondered if the same could be said in this new world.

Evey smiled a little more nervously and scratched at one hand. "Well, no I don't have much experience outside of the tutorial.. it's that different I take it then?" She nodded. They may as well just jump right in - overcomplicating things with plans and certain actions might confuse her, even if they didn't know much about each other's abilities. They'd learn real quick just jumping in. "I don't know too much about your skills, but you seem well-equipped. I'm somewhat of a support class mostly," she said with full confidence he would understand what she meant. "Oh! But yes, we can definitely jump right on in if you're ready - I'm ready when you are!" She followed him, her eyes examining around them as they moved.

Still though, they would need to work together - or rather, she might need to rely on Emir a little to get them through this mission. She touched the button on her cardigan, and her clothes shifted. A tanuki suit enveloped her body with a big fluffy tail behind her that moved with her naturally. "I can keep myself from getting too caught up in trouble." She wasn't as confident. She couldn't know what abilities a monster they might face have. "I'm sure if we work together it'd be okay, right? Some of my abilities rely on having an ally.. for example - and this won't hurt you," she flicked her wrist and a small oak leaf appeared in it. She tossed it at the man, and for a short moment it burst into a large ball of flame that floated toward him. If he let it touch him, it would divide into three smaller balls of fire that would circle him.

As they kept walking, they would hear crying. Evey looked ahead of them and saw almost a ghostly figure sitting, weeping on one of the benches. She blinked, wondering if it were another player. She hadn't gotten a notification of another player doing the mission with them, but maybe.. "Hello?" Evey called out, waving down the woman as she looked around. Evey could see through her, like she was almost a hallucination. She was sure the woman was not one when she moved. The dark dress she wore hovered inches above the ground as she moved, and as she came closer, more of her details came into view. Her fingertips came to sharp points; her eyes were slitted like a cat's; her teeth were sharp as a shark's. In one instant, she disappeared, the next she was hovering closer, moving ever so quickly toward them.

From another corner of Evey's eye, she saw a slow-moving human covered in wrappings. It looked ancient, and where its nose, eyes, and mouth should have been were just dark pits. "Are these the monsters??"

Level 10 Moaning Lisa
Level 02 Mummy

Her hands drew close to her chest. "A-Are we just going to let them get closer?" At the moment all she had was close-combat and support. The mummy looked pretty weak, so she was sure she could handle it by herself, but the other one.. maybe not so much.
At the same time that she wanted to dive right in, she wanted Emir to be the one to choose his opponent. He seemed more skilled, so maybe he should choose which one they - or he - should take on first. She looked over his gear again. All of it seemed to fit him well and he seemed accustomed to it. As comfortable as her tanuki suit was, she wasn't totally at home in it yet. Yes - he definitely was more skilled-

"Four?!" She looked around as he casually mentioned two more monsters. Her eyes widened at the sight of the saber stuffy and statue. They seemed to be going after her from what things looked like. She backed away from them, heading toward a wall. She knew she couldn't back away forever, so she'd need to choose one of them to attack first and hope that Emir wouldn't just leave her to it alone. She was only able to somewhat listen to what Emir was saying - her main focus was on the monsters starting to trap her.

"I know a little about it.. it'll do damage to monsters it hits, or heal you if they remain around you if you're not at full health." Just then, little pieces of something covered the area around her and Emir, blocking out light and leaving them in mostly shadow, it seemed. She wasn't afraid of whatever it was; from what it sounded like he had done this. Shortly after, she noticed her body was going almost see-through. Was this the power of a higher-level? What level was he? These were insane powers! She watched as the monsters started looking for her now, and she crept to the other side of the two she had spotted at first.

But, she didn't want him to have all the fun. She turned and swung her large tail at the mummy, dealing some of her own damage. It swiped at the air, hitting her, but her ability activated and she poofed into a small doll that looked just like her. The mummy's attack landed on the doll instead of Evey. Instead, Evey's real body was shifted five meters away from the mummy as tendrils fell on the other three monsters.

She reached atop her head and pulled one of the lotus leaves from it and touched herself with it. In an instant, her body poofed into smoke, leaving a cat where she'd been standing. The wrappings that had been around her arms and legs fell harmlessly to the ground, leaving the Evey-cat free to move around the other side of the mummy. As slowly as it moved, it had no time to get away from her when smoke erupted from the cat's body and she turned back into herself. She spun once, landing another hit on the mummy. An arm fell off the mummy, and Evey actually grimaced and backed away a little.

Her attention diverted to Emir for a moment. He had defeated one of the monsters, but two still stood. "Are you doing okay?" She felt bad leaving him with the stronger monsters to deal with.

The mummy acted like it was looking around again, swiping randomly at the air just in front of Evey with its one hand and moving forward. Evey was able to back away quickly enough to avoid its attacks, but it wasn't leaving any openings for her to rush it without being attacked. Her cardigan should've already been broken from that one attack, so she was certain she would take damage from it. She took a chance and spun again, swiping her tail at it. Her tail collided with the monster's arm and it flew across the room, disappearing into ash within seconds. The mummy still stood, but it didn't look like it would last much longer at this pace.

"I don't think this monster will last much longer," she mentioned. The mummy still moved toward where her attack came from, more slowly and unbalanced than before.
