Natalya allowed a small smile to come across her lips as Idir spoke, peering down at her menu before she called the water over once everyone was ready to order. She decided to follow in Idir's footsteps and order a seafood dish of her own: Lobster Thermidor.[break][break]

Once everyone had placed their order, the waiter took the menus from the table, leaving the group alone again. "Yes I am referring to Project Utopia. I believe that it's time that we start considering who would be joining hence my calling of Mr. Beast here." she said, gesturing toward the round-headed himbo.[break][break]

"Project Utopia was an idea that Idir and I came up with when we had a chance meeting during a mission in the Hollow Hills." Natalya explained to Mr. Beast. "Essentially, we would be a guild that would be capturing and studying the new beasts that are now roaming our planet. Seeing what we can learn from them and better prepare ourselves to combat them." She finished her explanation.[break][break]

"I'm sure I don't have to explain why I'd be interested in partnering with you."

"Well there's a high chance that we'll be going to the beach as that seems to be where the goblins hang out so I suppose you're appropriately dressed for that." Natalya said before Mr. Beast equipped himself with a set of armor. "Oh good. You wouldn't be a proper meatshield if you didn't have armor to protect yourself with."[break][break]

"Of course, I'll be sure to call on your whenever I need your services Idir." Natalya stated, shameless in willing to take advantage of his offer. Naturally, Idir's thought process was similar to her own and he proceeded to ask Mr. Beast if he was capable of communicating with his pets which thankfully he had a skill that did. "Wonderful. Then we can rely on you to help scout out the location of these goblins once Idir tracks them down."[break][break]

With a basic plan decided the group moved to greet their client and entered the building, being brought to the location of the break-in. "Idir, I'll leave this part to you." She said as she beckoned the merchant over to her. She wanted to be sure that she knew every trinket of his that was missing.[break][break]

Once she was done with that conversation, she walked back over to the two, checking to see if they were ready to begin tracking down some goblins.

The journey would take them a total of 4 hours to reach the community. After that, the players would be free until the return trip made the next day. While it was possible that they could end up making the trip back on the same night, that would require a portion of the trip to happen at night which was far too dangerous for them, hence why the merchants hired them for multiple days.[break][break]

Normally, Natalya wouldn't take this type of mission, feeling that she was far too above such menial labor but it gave her an insight into the type of things that people needed. With her still being at a low level, this left her with a lot of free time since there was a limit to the abilities that she could go on. She had taken to spending that time reviewing all the information that was available about the system and had discovered quite a few interesting things with the most interesting being the guild system.[break][break]

One of the most interesting parts of the guild system was that they were allowed to establish their own cities once the guild grew enough in level. It was almost as if this earth-chan had been reading her deepest desires when she discovered that little nugget. With her goal now much more obtainable, Natalya then started to set out to lay the groundwork for her future empire, hence her taking this mission. She needed to impress upon the merchants that she was a reliable player so that once she started her guild, they'd be more inclined to trade with her, thus speeding up their growth.

Idir ended up being the first of the two to join them and he immediately took note of the other seat at the table. "Yes, I have invited one more person," Natalya started to say before being interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Beast. He had thankfully dressed up for this meeting[break][break]

It was interesting to note that Mr. Beast and Idir both knew each other, but that could be explained by them being in the same summon batch. Given the nature of both their classes, it was natural that they would end up meeting each other. "That familiarity will hopefully work in my favor."[break][break]

" Neither of you is late," she stated, picking up the menu and beginning to peruse it. It was similar to what one would expect to run into in a high-end restaurant though with some key differences. The first was that the menu was divided by different cuisines; ranging from Mediterranean, Latin, and even some Asian dishes were available. Another difference was that some of the meats used here were some that she hadn't heard of. "It's most likely monster meat though that raises into question if it actually made for human consumption." she thought, glancing over her menu to see what the other two were thinking.

Given how the world had gone to hell in a handbasket within the last few months, it was only natural that good alcohol would be the least of their worries. That was why she was here in Korea, procuring some saké since at least that would be tolerable compared to the rest of the swill available. "Perhaps I should go exploring some of the cities to raid the liquor store." she joked as she entered the establishment.[break][break]

The thing that immediately caught her attention was the heavily armored girl sitting alone at a table. Stealing another glance as she walked past her, Natalya noted that the amour seemed to be ingrained into her very skin! "Is that because of her class? Is she some sort of cyborg dragon?" she pondered before taking her seat and placing an order for a bottle of Junmai-shu as she began to ponder on the stranger.[break][break]

"Those heads are capable of movement on their own, does that mean that they have their own intelligence? There are really any type of cores being given to everyone." she mused, glancing around the bar.

Mission Details[break][break]

Natalya once again found herself in the Hollow Hills for a mission, this time it being a solo mission as she elected to protect a supply cavern. Of course, for one this size, she was the only player that had accepted the mission. Her companions were a Latino woman in her early 30s and a rather beefy man of European descent, appearing in his 30s.[break][break]

Before the caravan got started, she went to introduce herself to her companions only for the woman to take one look at her and blow her off. The man at least had the decency to introduce himself as Pierre, revealing that he was French. He had a rather simple ability in that it allowed him to apply different elemental effects to his punches but it was still better than nothing.[break][break]

Soon the caravans were all loaded up and the group of 7 carts slowly made their way out of Los Angeles toward the community. The journey would be about 3 hours so Natalya set herself in, pulled out a book, and began to read.[break][break]
