Panya walked among the streets of Seoul, having never been to such a place before. It reminded her of some of the metropolitan areas of Britain at times, though everything lacked the history or personality of the other countries she had been to. There was a cultural identity present somewhere amidst the neon advertisements lit up in the skies above them, though she had a pretty bad taste of the capitalistic paradise that was South Korea. She wandered around the streets of the safe zone, her tanned form deciding to wander through the park as the animals fluttering about took her attention. Pigeons flocked around the streets, with the slimes attacking them outright. It was a part of the new food chain as she had come to know. The flying pests being countered by smaller pests that could stop them in their tracks. Just as she walked around, a slime chasing a pigeon would bounce straight into her, causing Panya to fall onto the ground. Their eyes met, with the smaller creature latching onto her midsection. "O-Oh...I'm really not that edible so you can..." Her hands sunk into the slime's body, trying to pry it off of her but only proving to dirty her hands. Now worried, the woman would pull and pull more. The slime could visibly be seen latched onto her as she'd begin to panic. This definitely wasn't normal for slimes to attack something way out of its league. She continued trying to pull it before spotting a person sitting on a bench. Perfect!



"Ah-Excuse me!"



Panya called out, racing towards the man as the slime attached to her bounced with each and every step. The woman shook with fear, pointing at the slime as her tanned fingers dug into the squishy material for some hope that she would be able to pry it off. "I can't get this slime off! I, ah, overheard you talking about them and hoped you could help..."

Accurate biology lesson aside, one that had Panya give these little guys a lot more credit than they deserved, she'd listen intently to the woman while her hands continued to keep the slime supported. It was fairly weak if it hadn't managed to break her clothing or skin yet. If anything, she wondered if it had been starved or something, based on why it clung to prey it had no hope in eating. "Interesting. I would have thought they posed a much higher threat now that these things are everywhere, but I-I guess you have a point." The man gave her instructions on how to get this thing off in a more teacher-like way, if that was a word for showing her how to kill a slime in three easy steps. "E-Eh-Ech..." Panya did as she was told, digging her hands around inside of the slime's interior. She couldn't even look at it the same way anymore, finding it a bit too graphic for her to handle. But her fing tips did indeed find the core inside of the slime. The woman inhaled and steeled herself for what she was about to do. "Sorry, Mr. Slime." she grabbed it with her hands and crushed it. The slime's form fell immediately off of her, while her fingers were brushed out on her clothing with a troubled expression.

"Thank you." she said, exhaling to herself and sitting back down on the bench besides the man. "I just loaded in here a few days ago, but you sound like an expert in these slimes already. If they weren't so problematic, I'd want to try and keep one as a pet." Panya laughed to herself, beaming at the man while she leaned back into her chair. "I'm not really one for fighting, not as much as most people. Just an archeologist thrown into whatever kind of game this world has become."

Idir's little cheer at her learning opportunity would cause the girl some amount of pride at her discovery. Panya smiled cheerfully while thinking on the concept of having one of the slimes as a little pet. While they would be a bit of a hassle food wise and even more so trying to tame one, she did have to admit that it was kind of cute. Her eyes went to the melted slime before them in thought and possibly even guilt. "Sorry, little guy." she said to the little puddle before going back up to the man beside her. He took interest in her profession before coming into the game (or at least one that she was actively trying to pursue once more) as she'd feel a little bit better now that the topic had switched to one she was far more comfortable in.

"Oh, yes! I've loved the field since I was a little girl. I was just in the middle of a dig site in the Middle East before I was taken here." She allowed him to speak as she listened to Idir explained what it was that he did. An ecologist was fascinating in their own right, moreso in this strange new world of all sorts of monsters and creatures to study. So it was no wonder that Idir had been extremely talkative about his job so far. His ideas did make her wonder. Sure, traveling around the world had been made so trivial that all one had to do was find the right zone for it and pass on through. This would make studying different zones and such fairly easy. But now what if this would also result in the discovery of artefacts or discoveries that had been hidden during their own time? It was a concept that she had considered and been trying to venture towards herself. So the news that another person had been thinking the same thing was comforting, if not a bit competitive.

"I've considered the idea, yes. Although even with the class I've been given, I'm not too much versed in combat. Books and riddles and more my forte. But I have been trying to discover some way I can begin unearthing whatever may be waiting to be discovered. Whatever fantastic things that could benefit us in this new world."

Her eyes did show a pang of intrigue as Idir mentioned wanting to work with her on some unknown assignment. She leaned closer in interest, the tan skinned woman adjusting herself on the bench as she gave a meek but willful smile. "Certainly! I'd love to offer my assistance with whatever you have in mind. Especially if you're able to teach me more. Ah-I'm Panya, by the way. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, sir." The woman moved some of her curtain of lavender hair out of her face while giving a nod of her head to the man, watching as the slimes about bounced all around as they hunted the pigeons.

"B-But what did you have in mind, i-if I may ask?"

As the man described an animal that some people would have elected to identify with more and more, Panya had found the personal account of his time with the honey badger during a little field trip of his own. She chuckled, nodding her head. "I've heard of them, yes. They call them animals housing the spirits of warriors past." Fascinating honey badgers and more aside, Idir would speak more about his ideas with her. Panya couldn't say that the idea didn't fall within her own interests. Delving into forgotten vaults for knowledge and understanding what the past could offer did sound incredibly enticing to her. So much so that she beamed so brightly as the man continued on about his idea. Although it might have been a hassle to really try and find other scholars and such in a world like this, Panya at least was his first real person that the man named Idir would approach.

"This sounds like an incredible effort to dive into those places forgotten about by time." Panya said, mulling the decisions over in her head. With no real plans for her time in this game at the moment, her schedule was free. And Idir certainly was somebody that she could see herself learning and working with from a first impression. She looked back to Idir with a smile and gave her answer.

"I'd love to do that with you. It certainly gets a bit lonesome on your average digsite dive, so company of any kind would be appreciated!" Panya answered. "I may not know exactly what my class entails or can do, but I will do what I can to help."

"M-My warrior...spirit?" Panya asked, looking sheepish while Idir would speak about trying to get her accustomed to combat in this new and strange world. The woman did seem to have some determination to appear a bit more confident in her abilities and such, as she listened to the man go on about how she could see what class abilities she had. There was some information, in fact, quite a bit. But she didn't really want to spend an afternoon reading this in front of Idir without any sort of thing to show. The woman held her phone in one hand, summoning forth whatever energy or force she could call and then...expelling.

Almost instantly, a giant sarcophagus had been summoned in front of her, standing so tall as her eyes widened. A quick look at the features, dimensions and more had caused her to gasp. "Th-This isn't just any other sarcophagus...This is King Tutankhamun..." The woman marveled at the sight before her, a hand slowly being placed on top of it as a sensation ran down her fingers. It was corporeal for certain, but she felt matter inside that was soft, malleable. Something she could grip. Panya went to the side and then pressed her hand inside of the coffin before she had picked it up effortlessly. For its size, she was swinging it around as if it was just a plastic toy! A feeling of joy went through the woman as she looked at the slimes around her. Perfect target practice.

Panya approached a slime that had been chasing another pigeon before she took a step and swung the coffin at the poor thing. It completely obliterated the poor thing, the bird flying away as she pumped her fist in excitement. "This is incredible! I need to try more!" She continued bashing and smashing the area around them and pausing to catch her breath. She was smiling, body pumping with energy and the lust for knowledge and understanding as clear as day on her face. "Let's see, what else..." She read the rest of the information on the phone before deciding to try her hand at the second state of the coffin. Panya willed the lid to open afar, as bandages leaked from inside, spilling over the lid and onto the ground beside her. She'd grab a hold of the bandages and use them to swing the entire coffin around before tossing it a great deal away from them. It soared into the distance before embedding itself into the ground a short distance away. Once she was sated with her class abilities, the woman would recall the sarcophagus to her own and walk back to Idir, wiping her forehead free of sweat.

"I hope that was a sufficient display of my abilities to you."

Panya was a little confused about what King Tut had meant to her personally for this to give her such a power, although the woman wasn't going to really just look a gift horse in the mouth. "Well, I suppose it would. I was born and grew up in Egypt for some time before moving to England. It's been my life's dream to unearth the secrets of whatever would have lied beneath the sands. Our history only goes back so far, and even then, there's evidence that suggests that the pyramids began construction farther than our records suggest. It's fascinating, really. My people actually..." Once again, Panya rambled on and on as her attention was hyperfocused on lecturing about the history of Egypt and whatever great creatures or animals may have been present. She would go on and on until she either ran out of steam or Idir interrupted her.

Once coming down, she'd take a breath and inhale. "My apologies. I'm just passionate about my work. You can tell why I became an archeologist, I'm sure." She'd recall her sarcophagus away with one hand, still standing before Idir while sizing him up. "Ah-I'm still so excited...Can we go on a mission? Find something to do? I just really want to test my abilities. To put them to practical use outside of slimes!" Panya was bouncing with joy, stepping up to Idir and taking his hand, shaking it up and down. "Can we, Idir? Surely there must be some area you've wanted to indulge yourself in?"
