Dee Dee was glad someone took the Offered Tomato, she then held the other one up to Natalya when she walked closer, giving the tomato a little wriggle wriggle in her hand to draw the larger woman's attention to it, after all she could at least share with everyone, though as she was trying to hand out the tomato she looked over to Idir as he asked her a question, with her one hand occupied she couldn't write, but she quickly came up with a good answer for that and balanced the Tomato she was offering Natalya on the top her head, the Bandana would keep it nice and clean after all and she took out her notepad and started to write an answer to him as she walked along with the man.

Hearing Natalia mention she was a botanist was also interesting, the most Dee Dee knew about plants was how to tell them apart and how to identify edible ones, or at least when it came to earth plants anyway, any new ones that grew where a mystery to her, so it was good to have two people knowledgeable about nature here on this mission, with out Idir pointing out a good plant she likely would have just returned with an assortment of medicinal herbs, and With Natalya here she could hopefully tell them which ones would be best to pick! this was going to go well and thankfully Natalya was fully willing to help them out on the mission.

in the time she was thinking this over she had finished writing and she held up the notepad for the two of them to read "I got my current supply from a guy that had a lot of them, he traded well for sealed instant coffee jars I had found while scavenging, so I have quite a few back at the place I have been using to sleep, all nice and well secured, and a few I planted so I could try to grow more! the world Needs Tomatoes after all!" she nodded a bit as she waited for them to finish reading. Then once she was sure they were done she followed along with Idir.

Looking around the area Dee Dee noticed a great deal of the plants they where here for and she started to write on the notepad again turning to Natalya so she could read it as she held it up "As a Botanist you can tell us which ones would be best to pick right? So we don't ruin the area or something? or the ones that might have more effect and be more useful?"

Dee Dee was glad to see Panya seemed to like Kramer, and she gave a little thumbs up as the three of them got moving again, Though she found it odd she would say they seemed life like.. they were alive after all right? She looked to Kramer and as if he could understand what she was thinking the dragon nodded, Well Kramer thought he was alive so That was enough for Dee Dee, the only thing to worry about now was the fear that was clear on Panya but it was also a fear that was in Dee Dee. Though in Dee Dee's case she was pushing through it since they needed to do this or they would be trapped here apparently, and she really REALLY didn't wanna be trapped here with giant spiders.. so it was ether deal with it and brave through it, or do nothing and be trapped here in a dangerous place with dangerous things.

As they walked Dee Dee kept her eyes up, if they were spiders and there was this many webs she was sure that there might be some above them, though as the place got darker and gloomier seeing high up became a lot lot harder, to the point it was becoming rather useless, so instead of keeping her eyes high she started to keep her head on a swivel instead so they couldn't get snuck up on... or at least reduce the chance of it happening, since that may be what a giant spider might do.. it was hard to say since she didn't exactly know how a Giant spider thought but if it was anything like a normal spider they wouldn't move unless they had a good safe angle. At least that's what she hoped.

It was then that Panya pointed out the empty shells, and Dee Dee wondered if it was from molting, but Panya clarified that it was more then likely from cannibalism.. which they only do if they are low on food... which means two humans and a baby dragon walking right into the spiders nest probably would look great as menu items right about now especially if they had gotten tired of the taste of spider.. the good news was they likely wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by a bunch of spiders all at once since they would be just as ready to eat each other right?

It was then that a dresser sized spider fell on the ground in front of them straddled by an even larger spider that was currently eating it, And suddenly the taller woman dived behind her and Dee Dee found herself and Kramer looking at the Queen spider. Looking over her shoulder at the terrified Panya Dee Dee to wished she could go hide, but looking back tot he Queen she knew that wasn't an option.. it was ether kill this thing or they would be trapped forever in a place that had things that would likely LOVE to eat them.. she stood up straight and looked to Kramer before she dashed forward throwing a ball of Aura at the Massive spider. the Spider dodged the glowing orb but Dee Dee assumed it would it was way to obvious.

in the meantime Kramer had swooped up and around and bathed the back of the Large spider in fire, causing it to let out an angry Chitter as it's hairs were set alight and the spider started to try to swat Kramer from the sky, Though the Baby Dragon was keeping out of reach and away from the walls. Dee Dee wasn't sure how long that would work out thhough so she looked to Panya and gestured to her trying to get her to move.

Bombdee and Kramer had hopped out once the tailgate was down, the Small Waddle-dee Making a rather loud thump from how heavy he was, and the two walked into the building to where Dee Dee was as Dee Dee herself looked over the things inside to see what could be useful, Thankfully it seemed to have the tools she would need, and even some travel Jacks which Dee Dee was glad to see she would have to show Hana all the gear she should have with her in case something happens to the wheels while she was driving it around. Looking around she even found some emergency tire repair kits that would work too so she started to gather some things, with all their manuals, best to give this to Hana now so she has time to familiarize herself with them after all. she even found the back room still had some tires and parts in it, this was going to be quite useful, maybe she could fix the place up and use it as a little base?

Ether way she did find a unopened can of instant coffee and she picked that up for the person that requested it, she then rejoined Hana as she finished parking her Truck and Dee Dee looked up at her as she explained that the repairs could wait till tomorrow, The suggestion to go to this Hub and learn more about how things worked piqued Dee Dee's interest and she put all the emergency things she grabbed for Hana and put them in the cab of her truck before nodding rapidly to Hana and taking out her notebook where she had been recording everything Hana had been teaching her.

This knowledge would be invaluable after all it meant there was a possibly safe place to go if one needed food rest and shelter but it came with the Cavate that you had to do missions and get the points needed to spend at such a place, but still that alone should motivate some to go for it, all in all this guide she was making would help many people deal with the issues of living after the Flash, people who had no direction or clue on what to do. Typing quickly into the System she sent Hana a message "Yes Please any information like that could be very helpful to many people especially if I record it to teach and show others! I will have to make so many copies of this book though... but hopefully I should be able to get all the materials I need at this hub you mentioned"

With that Dee Dee and her summons followed Hana to where she was going to show them the Hub, making sure to lock up and close the doors of the Auto body shop so no one would notice the vehicle in there so it would at least be reasonably safe over the night.

The Wolf rider Had spun around and was coming back at Dee Dee, she created another ball of Aura as she looked at it, looking around she seen Ragline was injured, Mr.Beast was injured, and Kramer was fine, she had a small cut but she was mostly fine so that took her out of the equation. She rolled to the side once more letting the goblin run into the Aura ball, this time however Dee Dee was able to avoid the Spear and as she rolled up to her feet she decided that out of the three of them Ragline had a means to attack with his claws, she herself had her Aura ball attacks, but Mr.Beast didn't have any weapon and he was fighting the goblin one on one, so he would need a little help, so with that in mind she rained her hand and a star flew from it and hit Mr.Beast in the side and he started to slowly heal.

With the other Fight, Kramer Was doing another swooping attack on the Goblin rider but this time as he came in and the spear was thrust at him he tucked his wings to suddenly drop his height and spread them again to keep in the air before close-lining the goblin hard and taking it off the Wolf, and heavily injuring it but not killing it.

However the accumulated EXP from these actions, the healing and the attacks from herself and Kramer and the defeat of the goblins from before caused Dee Dee to hit a level up, she looked at it a moment and hit the selection for the Unknown option hoping it would be a weapon... it rolled and as the Wolf came back around Dee Dee's eyes lit up as she pointed her finger forward and a star came forth and headed forward before poofing into her newest Summon BombDee. She did it she actually had a Waddle-dee as a companion!! And on summoning him Dee Dee suddenly felt an increase in power and out of the corner of her eye she could see the stats of both Kramer and Bombdee also go up thanks to her passive.

Bombdee joined the battle hopping forward as he was now faster then even the wolf rider and he threw a power punch decking the Wolf in the face the momentum of the wolf sending it flying up and over the Waddle-dee and his summoner and sending the goblin flying and as they hit the ground the wolf poofed into smoke leaving the goblin alone to fight Dee Dee and Bombdee.

once more Dee Dee was not only taking notes but once again she was rapidly drawing a sketch of the screen she was shown with a written explanation on how to get to it as she herself navigated to it on her own, This was all information that wasn't exactly told so knowing she had access to something like this meant she wouldn't have to worry about the weight of the things she was taking with her, Though it did mean she spent all that time making the backpack and the Cart was wasted, but at least she was able to make them in the first place even if she no longer really needed them, she would then take her time stowing all the tools and her other things in the inventory and watched them pop up in there before she looked at the cart and tried to put it in but to no avail, then she got an Idea and rapidly took it apart since it was held together by Wooden pins, after all it was just meant to work as a simple carrying cart not anything for extreme long distance transport, and she put the individual pieces into her inventory.

With that stowed away she looked to Kramer and Bombdee and pointed to the back of the truck and the two of them nodded and Kramer flew in and sat down, Bombdee on the other hand was quite a bit heftier and when he tried to hop up he couldn't quite make it and so Dee Dee went to go help him, barely able to lift him though that was more due to trying to pick up a perfectly round wriggly Waddle-dee then it was his weight. With the two of them loaded into the back of the truck Dee Dee walked to the front and hopped in and gave Hana a thumbs up to show she was ready to go as she clipped the Seatbelt into place.

Meanwhile in the back Bombdee Held onto Kramer to make sure the lighter Dragon didn't fly away as he got a firm hold of the side of the truck bed as well and nodded to let Dee Dee know they were as secure as they could be.

Hana Sakuyuki

Dee Dee was surprised to hear all this but she made sure to continue to write all this down, her hand a blur as she kept up with what Hana was telling her, this was all really good information that maybe some people didn't know and it would be very handy to have something to take note of that could help, especially if there was people who couldn't quite understand what was going on or how things worked. As she Wrote faster to get all the information she would take bites of her Sandwich so she wasn't letting the bread get dry.

As Hana explained next about what she Thought About Earth-chan Dee Dee continued to take notes, so if you played along with the world as it was you would have the things you needed to live, and if you didn't that would make life harder for you unless someone helped you out of their own efforts, this was both worry-some but also enlightening, though how accurate was it? Then again she had been getting points for doing things and apparently you could get Necessities from this shop thing so likely Hana's account was fairly accurate on things.

The Second issue was if Earth-chan found you to be boring, by the sounds of it that would cause the same issues as not playing along with the world as it was now, to be fair life was always hard if you didn't go with how the world worked, before it was money issued by governments now it was points given by the world itself. If someone was rich in this new world they would have had to work to get there to earn the points from the system, it was odd to hear that, some might think this better, but at the same time it could also be seen as worse in other respects. Though Dee Dee didn't bother chasing that thought line mostly cause she knew she wasn't bright enough to come up to an answer other then she would go along with this to keep going and survive and to help as many people as she could.

She was really glad she ran into Hana, that meant technically all the vehicles worked, they just needed this License she was talking about so it would be something rather important. Finishing off her sandwich Dee Dee started to rapidly sketch the popup of the store and how to get to it, her hand flying across the page as she made a rough sketch of things and then added more detail with a description, and adding a few arrows with annotations to point to things, as she figured she would add more detail to the sketch later.

She also noted down the waypoint and Fast Travel system, adding it to the notebook as she nodded to her Question about games, having caught up in her notes Dee Dee then started to type out a message to Hana "This is all very good information, thank you, as for the Truck I can repair the engine if you want? Most of it is easily replaceable from the other vehicles around here and I have some basic tools with me. As for the other things replacing the tires should be easy if we find a car Jack, and the proper tool to take the nuts off the wheels, which if we are lucky they might have some in one of the cars here if they have a road safety kit, and we just need tires that will fit the truck which should be most tires available so just some good ones from the vehicles here would do the trick" she sent the message.

During this whole exchange Bombdee and Kramer where enjoying the sandwiches, Dee Dee always made sure to feed them as well as she ate, but that also meant when out wandering they were all reduced to more simple meals like dried stuff or the Tomatoes she always had with her, the good news was they rarely ran out of food cause she would always stock up through barter, the bad news was the selection and taste was low except for the Tomatoes.

As they walked Dee Dee was taking note of the darkening forest but also keeping on taking notes on what Panya was saying about the topic she seemed to know the most about, granted Dee Dee wasn't to sure she could learn it all like Panya, it was all rather academic but that wouldn't stop her from trying later. Panya then mentioned she was a teacher for a while before the flash and Dee Dee looked up at her as she listened to her explain her degree and then mention her specialty, it was nice to know, sadly with things as they were Dee Dee doubted she would be able to continue her education since there were no places of learning anymore and the system seemed to really set things now, but knowledge would still be useful after all so maybe she could make more notes on things others have learned and make copies of those? then she could spread those around? After all if this was life they would need some other things to learn for future kids right? With that in mind she took it on herself to remember to take notes whenever someone talked about a subject they were knowledgeable on.

As they walked Further and the Forest became more and more shaded and unfriendly looking Dee Dee started to keep a look out even more, she could hear it in Panya's voice that she was scared, and while Dee Dee was as well they needed to go in, they needed to kill this queen spider and they needed to pass this tutorial or they would be trapped her and that likely wouldn't be a good thing especially if they were to be trapped here with a ton of giant spiders. At the mention that the place seemed heavily infested with spiders Dee Dee nodded, but she continued on walking with Panya deeper in.

The webbing got thicker in some places and twitched and writhed in others which wasn't a good sign, Dee Dee had also started to look out for any webbing on the ground and pointed it out to Panya so they wouldn't get stuck in it. Hearing Panya ask if they should turn back Dee Dee looked at her and shook her head and quickly wrote out "If we don't do this we will be trapped here with Giant spiders remember? we have to do this to get out of here. Don't worry you are not alone!" Dee Dee then showed the writing to Panya and then nodded and gave her a thumbs up, then she was asked if she had a weapon.

Dee Dee thought for a moment then raised her hand and a ball of Aura appeared in it and she demonstrated her throwing the orb and it causing some damage to a tree she threw it at before she gave another thumbs up to Panya, Granted... she had no Idea how to summon her dragon.. she stood there thinking for a bit, how had she seen summoning work in games and anime? usually people called out the Summon with a chant, a focus, or simply by calling their name.. and Dee Dee started to shake as she at first tried to chant... then tried to Call out her Summons name... but she couldn't not in front of Panya, her Shyness and her Communication disorder rearing it's ugly head now of all time... Then she remembered the Kirby games, he could call a helper simply by a command on the controller, but in game he would raise his hands and seem to will it to happen.

Dee Dee decided there wasn't anything to lose so she raised her hand pointing up with one finger and she willed her summon to come out, nothing happened, then she tried even harder to will them out... still nothing. she them facepalmed, Kirby didn't order those helpers around, considering how the game world was he likely asked for help, so once more she lifted her arm and pointed to the sky and asked Kramer to come help her. A star glowed from Dee Dee's finger and rose up growing larger and larger till it fell beside Dee Dee and poofed into her Baby Dragon Kramer who let out a little happy Roar.

Dee Dee nodded happily and wrote down for Panya "Don't worry I am not alone! I am a summoner!! and this here is Kramer my friend!" she proudly nodded as the Baby Dragon gave another happy growl. Dee Dee looked at it and it seemed to just know what she wanted as she wanted it to keep an eye open for any giant spiders, she had been struggling for a second to tell it what but it only nodded as she thought of the order and it started to walk with them keeping an eye open and Dee Dee gave another thumbs up to Panya
