It was fairly obvious that there was something deeper going on but she wasn't going to dig too deep. She gave a small nod and moved in a bit closer to rest her chin gently on Vanilla's shoulder. "I know that feeling, I've been in that situation before. If you need anything from me you're fully free to ask and if it's in my power I will do it for you." She flashed a wink and stuck the tip of her tongue out before leaning back and away, flopping down onto her back and folding her hands on top of her stomach, a smile on her face. Even if nothing interesting happened tonight, she knew it was going to be a good day.[break][break]
"Sometimes it's nice just to be around people that are having fun and being happy, y'know?" She spoke up after Vanilla stopped, giving the other woman a chance to calm down slightly. "Me? I was in... A pretty embarrassing position when the light hit me. I was in my room, crick in my neck from hunching over my computer so I could draw and I had some cookies in the oven. I was just getting up to go check on them when..." She made a small explosion sound, spreading her hands out, "...Boom! I was taken away. I hope my old apartment didn't burn down." She gave a shrug.[break][break]
"In general though? I was just living my life. I drew, I baked, I tried and failed to find a romantic partner. Honestly dating apps were such a pain!" She groaned loudly before Hana came back in and she tilted her head down, chin on her own chest. "Hey, lookin' cute Hana!" she declared with a grin. "I'm good with anything but I'm curious as to what this alternate plan of yours is! Wanna share?" She rolled onto her side, propping herself up with one elbow.

Summer at least had the sense to look a bit sheepish once she came back after getting changed. She gave an embarrassed grin at Hana and put her hands together. "Sorry, didn't want to make your heads explode by changing in front of you, I promise I didn't touch anything!" She made sure to give Hana a playful bump with her hip once they stepped past each other so that the other girl could go get changed. Once that was done, she realised that she had been left with Vanilla, at least for a short period of time, that meant it was prime opportunity to say what she needed to say.

The pink haired girl slid over and pressed up shoulder-to-shoulder with Vanilla, tucking her feet under herself before leaning in to whisper, her voice taking on a serious, if gentle, note. "I know I flirt pretty shamelessly, if it makes you uncomfortable just tell me and I'll stop. Physical affection is my general care and love language but I'd never push, so just tell me if it's a bit much." She gave a wink and a nod before leaning back and raising her arms up to take a big stretch before leaning back into the cushions behind her.
[break][break]
"Jeez, it really has been a long time since I've done anything this normal, you know? Keep expecting a big monster to jump out all of a sudden..." She blew raspberries for a second before latching onto something that Vanilla said and cocking an eyebrow, a playful smirk crossing her face. She knew it was dangerous to ask about friends from before the light, there was always a chance they weren't around anymore, but the party was something she could bring up. "A New Year's party you say? What kind of fun did you get up to there? Any games you want to share with the class, hm?"

Back in London once more with not much to do. Not that she minded, with it being fairly quiet now it was a nice city to be in. She had heard that Paris had opened up again but there was still a little bit of resentment she had to get over that the last time she had been there she hadn't managed to score a single dang date! It was valentine's day in Paris of all places and not a single proper date or cute outing or doing pottery together and touching hands as they molded the clay. Summer felt her face flush in embarrassment and shame and she buried her head in her heads.

There was a bit of movement out of the corner of her eye and she moved her hands away to give a soft glare to the giant stag that was carrying her before sticking her tongue out at Spring. "Don't you say anything!" She scolded the deer gently and the creature simply rolled its eyes and went back to looking where it was going. The giant magical stag was probably the primary reason that Summer was also getting some odd looks as she rode side-saddle through the streets of London. Today she had made her coat a deep glossy black, highlighted with pink hearts. A pair of white jeans with pink thorned vines wrapping around the thighs and a black t-shirt with a pink rose on the chest finished up the outfit. Her hair was up in a ponytail and now that she wasn't embarrassed she had a proper look around.
[break][break]
Immediately her eyes caught onto someone that looked very interesting, dressed up in what seemed like skeletal armour, she looked incredibly cool. Summer's eyes widened slightly and she had to turn her head to narrow her eyes at Spring who was looking at her like 'Are you sure about this?' but didn't say anything. Summer was pretty sure about this though she had no idea how it'd go. She lifted a hand towards the other woman, giving it a wave. "Hey there! I love your look!" She thought about going a bit further but blushed instead and clammed up. "It's always cool to see interesting people out here living their best lives!" She declared, deciding that was good enough, before giving a thumbs up and nudging Spring to walk a bit closer to the bone-covered woman.

Even now Summer was still a little surprised at the strange variety of individuals that existed in this new Earth of theirs. Seeing a young woman speak only through floating bubbles really drove in just how strange the overall situation was. Though now that she thought about it, she had recently just attacked and killed a giant lava-breathing Salamander that had been roaming around and she also had a giant deer as her new companion. So in reality she wasn't actually sure why the speech bubble seemed so weird to her but she was a master at dealing with that now so it crossed her mind and left without leaving a single mark on her expression.[break][break]
"I haven't really noticed any issues with food but I do a lot of scavenging and little bits of cooking for myself so maybe that's it." She said with a shrug, giving a smile to Hana as she got bumped in return. She also made sure to take the business card that was offered before nodding to Andy. "I am certainly a defense expert, haven't yet found an attack I can't soak. I don't really do that much damage but I'm pretty damn hard to kill." She told him, rapping her knuckles against the top of her breastbone to emphasise the point. With that done and the card put away in her pocket she hopped over to Hana and looked over her shoulder at the computer.[break][break]
"If you've got electricity, we can defo have a movie night then! That sounds amazing!" She declared with a fist pump before skipping away once more. "I'm happy to spend a night or a few here, help out where you need me, see if I can settle in and maybe join up with ya!" She flopped down onto a chair and kicked her legs up so that her back was to one arm and her legs hung over the other, making sure she didn't actually touch the chair with her boots, that would just be rude.[break][break]
It was shortly after that that another young woman walked in, one that pretty damn cute if Summer had anything to say about it. "Hey there! Come over and join in, we're just doing a meet and greet right now... Or at least that's what I think is happening." She said with a chuckle before throwing a wink at Vanilla and waving her over. She knew if this girl attacked she'd be able to leap up and deal with it anyway so she wasn't actually worried at all.

She was already back here so soon but there was something that had caught her eye so intensely last time that she had to have it. So it was that she had ran back up to the Ender Merchant with a giddy skip to her step and a bright smile on her face. She needed to at least pretend to look at stuff. So she did just that, tapping her chin gently and humming quietly as she looked across the various wares that were offered but deep down she already knew what she wanted.[break][break]
With a deep breath and a recognition that she was being assisted with this purchase but she needed it... She opened her mouth and held up her hand to gain the merchant's attention, smiling at him. "Hello sir! I'd like to buy your Arbor King please! It is very lovely and I'm going to name them Spring!" She declared, bouncing up and down on the spot. It'd be very nice to have a constant companion with her, especially if it was big enough to cuddle.[break][break]

-----[break][break]

Buying the Arbor King please and thank you and naming it Spring!

It was actually quite fun being part of a guild, especially cause that meant she got invited to go fight big monsters! Not being the least bit tired, she vaulted over a rock and continued her sprint towards the Salamander. It was a cool looking beast but she wasn't even sure she'd get a chance to hit it, that was fine by her though, it was her fault for being the last here... And also the slowest. As she ran she summoned her sword and shield, letting them settle into her hands. Her jacket was bright red today to go with a white t-shirt emblazoned with a red rose and black shorts.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late!" She called out and as she drew closer and the party link activated, all of her party members would gain a buff to their DEF just due to being in a party with her, while she would gain additional VIT. She also designated Emir as her Beacon Knight, enhancing his offensive and defensive capabilities to make sure they could bring this thing down without too much more issue. With that done, no one was actively being attacked just yet so she'd rush up to the Salamander's face and swing her sword down at it. It didn't do much but the flames licked back over her sword causing Summer to frown slightly, her sword held up though it was built pretty tough.
[break][break]
Hopefully it would draw the creature's attention though and get it to attack her or anyone else really and to help with that she held her sword up and summoned the golden flames within her, activating [Beacon's Charge] and supercharging everyone's defensive abilities with her flame. If it tried to attack any of them in melee it would suffer a backlash like it had just tried to use on her, although this would be a little worse due to her higher MAGI stat than this thing. She didn't want to activate anything else just in case this thing had some nasty surprises in store.[break][break]
-------------------[break][break]
Dealt E-Rank damage with sword, Heated Armour causes Sword of Passion to take D-Rank damage but it can soak up to B without breaking so it's fine. Emir now has +20% on all offensive and defensive abilities, everyone in the party gains +5 DEF, Summer gains +15% VIT. Healthy amount also triggers for +15% to core stats. Beacon's Charge enhances DEF of armour/shield items by +20% and also causes any melee hits to return C-Rank damage to opponents.
