Although he couldn't exactly say that he was getting all that used to the smell of this land, Samuel could certainly agree to the fact that he was going to need to do so. After some deliberation with his 'companion', Pori, Sami had come to realize that this was the most aesthetically fitting location for their guild. Not only had the information that they had gotten at The Hub gone on to speak about some of the types of monsters that had been roaming about in these lands but they had discussed how easy it might be for certain things to be hidden out here. If it was within these mists than he was sure that it would be fine. If there were any enemies to have out here, after all, it might as well be some that can net the guild some decent experience.
[break][break]
With that all in mind, it wouldn't be too long before Samuel himself had arrived at the warpgate that was leading both to and from the Forgotten Mists. "Honestly... This place never gets any more bearable. Really hoping that the other guildmembers get used to this because jeez.." It was in this moment that those horrid voices that he was always hearing would make their reappearance. Albeit this time they would arrive with physical forms that only Samuel could see. 'Oh please. As if anyone would want to join this pitiful guild of yours if it wasn't for Pori.' 'The girl does have a lot on her shoulders now.' 'Who needs a guild anyways?! You are already climbing in levels faster than some of the others! You might as well take full advantage of it and just kind of take care of everything on your own!' Doing his best to stifle an annoyed sigh, Samuel would turn his gaze towards his surroundings. It was as he had been doing this that an individual would fall beneath his gaze.
[break][break]
The man that had been standing before him had certainly caught him off guard. Was this perhaps someone new to the 'server' or was this a reoccurring appearance? Curious to get to know more about the man, Samuel would swivel on a single foot and spin about so that he would appear directly beside the individual. "Hoi. What brings someone like you all the way out 'ere?" If need be, Samuel could likely react in time to snatch his taser from his inventory. All in all though, he was hoping that he wouldn't have to take such actions. Not that the voices weren't urging him to do so.

For all of a moment, Samuel's eyes would shoot wide open as this impish woman would attempt to slam her fist into his chin. The fact that she had attempted to swing upon him wasn't something that he had been all that astonished about. After all, in all the stories that he had read over the years, horns had tended to be rather sensitive for some reason. No, the reason that he was astonished simply had to do with the fact that the woman's fist had cleaved straight through his chin. As it had done so, a notification window would pop up for Samuel as well, filling him in on the fact that PVP wasn't permitted within this area. "Whoa there!"
[break][break]
Almost as though they had been feasting upon the drama that was now beginning to unfold, the previously disembodied voices that had been stuck within Samuel's mind would begin to laugh wildly. As this laughter would continue on, three individuals would slip from behind the devilish woman. Each of these beings had seemed to be nothing more than strange white forms with nothing more to go with them aside from a horrific smile. 'Awww look~ Little Sami's gone and made the wittle imp all mad~' 'And in doing so, brought us here.' 'Honesty, can't he ever do anything right?' In the past two years that Samuel had been hearing these voices, this had been the first time that he had actually seen the ones in which the voices had belonged to. This much might have been a bit more worrying if they had been brought into the world via Earth-Chan but for now? Well for the time being, the only person that could see and hear them was Sami.
[break][break]
The mans gaze now upon the three figures, as opposed to the impish woman, it would entirely possible that he had looked a bit crazy. He was clearly seeing things that weren't really there.. and yet that had only been the beginning of it. For a ghost of a moment, so brief that one might not have even noticed, the light would go out in Samuels' eyes. Instead of his usual happy go lucky self, a glint of something much darker could be seen. And just as quickly as this glint had come.. It would go out. But not before the mad lad would below out a heinous laughter. After a few moments of this, the laughter would simply cease and an oddly smiling Samuel would be left standing there. It was almost as though he wasn't even aware of what had just happened to him. "Dick?" Pointing to himself to almost confirm his words, he would continue on. "Me?" His head would then tilt off to the side. "What did I do? And uh... What's going on with your notifications?"

At the mere mention of Pori having possibly acting the way that she had due to the world changing, Samuel couldn't help but squint at the individual before him. If things were that simple than he would completely understand it. Give that he had been with her from the beginning though.. Well he certainly couldn't say that this was the case here. "Eh.. I'm not so sure about that. We started our tutorial together and well.. She has been this way since the beginning. If anything, it was almost as though she had deliberately chosen to think that everything was going to be fine. She refused to believe that this was even reality at first. Just that it was some kind of dream. It's.. something."
[break][break]
After swaying his head from side to side once more, Sami would throw their head back whilst letting out a heavy groan. "The girl is so childish that she thought that a regular ol' crab was a genuine monster!" Recalling the events that had transpired between the two of them, Samuel would bring his attention back to Valentine. "I can't say that they aren't good as a shield of sorts but a leader? I'm just hoping that the kid doesn't go and get someone that we value killed in the future. But at the same time, it's not as though I can stop her. That girl is stubborn as all hell. Only food motivates her and quite honestly? That's such a risk.. If all it takes is someone to offer her some cake to do her bidding than I'm quite frankly not sure where this guild will end up." Another sigh escaping from his lips, albeit in a rather exaggerated manner, Samuel would draw his gaze back towards Valentine. "But it's fine. The kid can do what she wants, I guess. I don't have the time nor energy to argue with her. Or anyone for that matter." 'Not even us?' 'All he does is argue with us...' 'Such a jackass!'
[break][break]
"Anywaaayyysysss... It's fine if this brother of yours joins up. I have no qualms with it! Just know that we won't exactly have room for your sister to stick with us in the Guild Hall until we upgrade the place a bit. And that means possibly having to get some currency from you both. Think of it as.. an investment into your future~" Going out of his way to perform his guildly duties, Samuel would begin to put some pressure on the man. It wasn't meant to seem as though it was an extortion but he could completely understand if that is how the entire ordeal had come across. Knowing that he was going to have to acquire the funding to enhance their guild somehow though, Samuel had figured that he would get it out of the way now. Better here and now then later on when he wasn't needed.

A family... That wasn't something that Samuel had wanted to build again. Especially not in a setting like the one that he had found himself in now. It had become rather apparent to him that family would always leave in the end. Whether that be through death or other means, it wasn't something that he had wished to repeat experiencing. It is for this reason that he hadn't gone out to search for his remaining family. The reason behind why he would never bring them up unless prompted to do so. "I suppose that if that is what you want to consider it than by all means. However, don't expect everyone to agree with you on that point. Families can be rather touchy subjects after all." The fact that they could also be seen as a weakness for this world to exploit had also remained within the mans mind. Not that he would voice such a thing. 
[break][break]
Figuring that he might as well get back to her question though, Samuel would simply shrug. "From what the waypoint had labeled it as, this is supposed to be The Hub. Some kind of virtual space that Earth-Chan created. Think of it as a safe zone in which we can gather all sorts of information about this new world. Of course there are a few other things to do here as well, as long as you don't stick around for too long. Restaurants, combat training spaces, hotels, and entertainment. You name it and it can probably be found here. I guess if you had to compare it to something that might make it make the most sense to a kid like you.. Well you could say that we are in the internet, so to speak."
[break][break]
Yet another shrug would be offered to the teenage slime as Samuel had begun to think over what kinds of things the two should do for a guild. They were going to have to establish a proper location of course. This much could be determined on some of the information that the two could gather while meandering about the place. But the biggest worry to be had? Who was going to be in charge. While there was no part of the man that had wished for this naïve teenager to act as the Guild Master, he couldn't help but deny that she might have some use as a leader. As a face perhaps. The only real trouble with any of this? Convincing her to not be the leader..  Something that might be considered a monumentally difficult task.

Having finally managed to receive a brief respite from the cofounder of his new guild, Samuel had decided to try and explore the hub a bit. It was his intention to get any information that he could on the various [High Risk] areas that had been currently known. In his mind, if one could conquer a [High Risk] area, than they would be able to take on the world! Placing oneself in a situation that might lead to their own death.. This was truly the way of the new world. 'Better risks, better rewards! And better yet? A better chance to get out of this damned hospital gown!' While it was true that Sami could have changed at any point, he had been putting it off for quite some time. This was solely due to the fact that he had been searching for an outfit that would lend him flair and help him stand out. Well.. Stand out more, now that his body had been littered with slowly healing lightning scars.
[break][break]
As the man had begun to meander about the hub, he would eventually receive a notification from the hub chat. From the looks of it, there had been someone out there that was attempting to gather a few party members for Gothica. The Gothica. Out of all of the luck that he had felt he had over the years, this was by far the luckies that Sami had ever considered himself! From what he had picked up over his previous trips here, Gothica had been a hub that had strongly resembled the myths and legends of Victorian England. Given the fact that this was a place that had spawned into Britain, Samuel honestly couldn't say that he was surprised. 'Ah, right. Because rushing off to a [High Risk] area without your own guild makes so much sense. Why not just trust that you'll be safe around complete and utter stranger. Or even a group of strangers.' "My guildmates are practically strangers too." 'It's not something to worry about anyways. He is just trying to get his head start on death. We might as well let him.' "We all know that I am too lazy for that.. Hells, the system even gave me a skill called Sloth." 'Exactly! A truly slothful thing to do would be to just lie down and die! Why don't you just do it already? Huh?!' 
[break][break]
Still ignoring the impact that the voices usually offered him, Sami would decide to just shake his head and stop talking to himself. This was something that he had wanted to do, no matter the risks. If he could overcome the trials that would be thrown at him in a [High Risk] area than who could really speak against him at that point? That being the case, it wouldn't be all that long before Sami had found himself around the general area in which the waypoint had existed. From among the crowd, he would eventually pinpoint whom he could only assume was the 'blond bloke.' Figuring that this might be the person that he had been looking for, Sami would close the distance between the two of them, approaching the man with a slightly sinister smile. A smile that he hadn't even realized had been quite possibly so downright horrifying. "I take it that you are the blond bloke that is looking for party members?"

An unknown enemy enters the battlefield... and it would seem as though there was more than one. Just as Pori had begun to charge at the demonic creature with her whip in hand, two more of these little beasts would begin to descend from above. It was almost as though the static beam that it had released earlier had been some kind of war horn to battle. "Oh hello no. This is not about to go down like this!" Given that he had already been holding onto his taser, Samuel would begin to rush towards one of the descending beasts. A quick bolt of static electricity would shoot forward the main eye of the beast and would immediately overtake poor Samuel. Shouts of pain would find themselves expelled from the mans mouth as he would put everything that he had into pulling the trigger..
[break][break]
After several excruciating yet brief moments had passed, Sami would finally manage to do as he had set out to accomplish. His index finger would activate the switch on his taser and his arm would jolt forward, slamming into the demonic entity. For the next several seconds, both Samuel and the floating being would find themselves electrified! And yet, despite the fact that the demon had initiated it's maneuver first, Samuel would come out on top. In terms of raw power, Sami's taser had packed a bigger punch than the demons.
[break][break]
With one of these creatures having been defeated, the demon collapsing into various pixels upon its death, Samuel would drop to his knees. Electrical burns had now run all along his body and this much could be very easily seen due to how exposed his flesh was in this hospital gown. Labored breaths would escape from the mans lips as his eyes would begin to glow a horrid blue... and a maddening aura would begin to expel itself from every fiber of his being, washing over everything within a fifteen foot radius but focusing solely on affecting the two remaining demonic creatures. 'It's starting..' 'About time someone took him down a notch!' 'Oh this is going to be fun~' Almost as though the voices were opting to activate the skill themselves, for his own safety, a strait-jacket would instantly begin to manifest around the young man.. and yet the labored breaths would still come.
