"Hm..." Wes pondered as the woman spoke. His smile returned as she laughed off his awkwardness and answered his question in earnest. He turned to face the direction she mentioned the group had left. "Yes, I had traveled that way so it looks like I must have missed them... Can I join you?" he motioned to the bench and save for a declination, he would take a seat beside her.
Wes then called upon the System and sent out a quick message to the group: "Hey, where are ya'll?" He wouldn't wait for an answer. Rather, he dismissed the window and the System all together. He still wasn't used to it and though in many ways it operated similar to a phone, the semi-transparent messages appearing in thin air was a feature of Earth-Chan's World that Wes still found discomforting.
Instead of dwelling on the group, he sighed and rolled his head back in exasperation. He spoke, kind of to her, but each phrase was so heavily punctuated and his face so colored with thought that it was clear he was also just thinking out loud. "We were supposed to explore the area surrounding LA. So I cleared the rest of my day to meet with them. Not that I had many other plans, I don't really know anyone here. But I was looking forward to venturing out, even if it is just terrifying. But I can't go out there alone. And I don't know how I'll manage to get any points for things like food and living." He mumbled some other concerns, barely intelligible, and then ended his string of thoughts with a loud "urgh!"
He leaned forward, placing his face in his palms. Counting to himself, he took a couple of deep breaths before he tried to compose himself. He straightened his posture and more directly addressed the woman, "Sorry, I'm rambling. I promise I'm not typically this... disheveled. And forgive me, I didn't even introduce myself. I'm Wes."

Wes flinched, throwing both his hands over his head and sliding back away from the table in a hurry. He knocked his drink off the table in his hurry and nearly fell to the floor. When after several seconds there was no explosion, he lowered his arms but did not move any closer. "Those" he waived a hand around in a circular gesture at the pebble in the man's hand, "explode like dynamite after you throw them."
After another moment, once he was convinced that the man would not blow them both up, he slid his seat back forward and rejoined the table. He grabbed a napkin and began to wipe up the pool of pina colada as Olliver described the bazaar. When Olliver paused to laugh, Wes chimed in, "Well with that description, I think these would certainly fit in. I also am even more sure that I will attend your event."
He smiled at Olliver's introduction. He offered his hand for a shake, but would recoil with a grimace of a smile if Olliver tried to shake with one of the pebbles in his hand. "I'm Wes."
It was at that point the waiter returned carrying whatever food that Olliver had ordered. Hurriedly (but with a great deal of care), Wes snatched up the pebbles left on the table. He then ordered himself a replacement drink and apologetically handed the waiter a slosh filled mess of a napkin.

"Well monster food sounds a horrid way to go." Wes shifted his gaze from Vladimir and spared a glance at the corpse, his voice rather unbothered and very matter-of-fact for seeing a fallen comrade, "but I don't have a shovel or a match so monster food it is."
If Wes took time to think, he would spiral into some kind of existential questioning about the state of the world and its own impact and reflection on his psyche, so he didn't stop to think. Rather, he just flashed a smile to Vladimir and spoke with a light bout of laughter, "I hope you wouldn't leave me for monster food."
He then tried to pat Vladimir on the back, but it was awkward with the size of the man. "Okay big guy, I'm following you to a safe zone." Wes would wait for Vladimir's next course of action. He would keep up with whatever pace the man chose and would not argue with whatever path he decided to take.
After any bit of walking, for Wes struggles with silence, he would try to engage Vladimir in conversation that extended beyond slaughtering goblins and disparaging the dead: "So Vlad... can I call you Vlad?" he would pause and sheepishly ask before pushing on, "What did you do before all this? I was just about to board a plane, traveling for grad school. But you," he looked him up and down, "strike me as someone who had a more interesting life."

He hadn't known what to expect in his first pop into a pub in London, but it certainly hadn't been this conversation. The first man, a burly bearded fellow, gave his bespectacled friend a light shove, "Oh shut up." He took a healthy swig of his beer before turning to the third man seated, a scrawny guy with long blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. Hiccups and more chugs of beer interlaced his words, "Anyway, it was this tall woman, taller than any I'd ever seen. She must'a been 7 feet tall. She had big wings on her back, like some kinda eagle or sumethin'. And she didn't have pants!""Yes, because she had the legs of a lion and a tail. And they weren't eagle wings, they were falcon's" the bespectacled man interrupted, sliding his glasses up along the bridge of his nose. The first man continued as if the other never spoke. "And she goes 'I got a riddle for ya' and I was like 'oh yeah you have a riddle for me, I got something for you' and then she asked me a question and it popped up like one of those notifications ya'know? It was something about the sky and the moon and day time, I don't know. But I couldn't leave until I answered, and I got it wrong.""And then you got two more wrong, and" he said with airquotes, " 'she' took five points from you and vanished. She was a monster, Gabe. And if it had been human, it'd been out of your league."Two of the three men started laughing and Gabe resigned himself to chugging the rest of his beer. He stumbled his way to the bar, almost falling across Wes's table. Wes finished his own drink and then made his exit. Stepping out of the cramped bar and into the night-light, he was struck by how quiet the world was. There were some sounds echoing into the streets from the patrons within, and there were some other building in the area lit with lights and alive with the merry murmurs of drunks, but overall it was just quiet. He waltzed back towards the hotel he was staying. It was only a couple streets over, and if he took a cut through the alleys, he would be laying bed in only a couple minutes. The alleys were sparsely lit from whatever moonlight filtered down between the looming buildings. Casting Fast-Forward on himself, he picked up his walking speed, and then bounded instantly forward a good chunk of the way. When the dash ended, Wes felt a chill snake down his spine. He stopped, turned around, and out from the shadows appeared the woman that the man had described. She smiled, her dark eyes fixed on Wes. A row of pearly white teeth, complete with two rather large and aggressive canines, caught a glimmer of the moonlight. "I have a riddle for you."

Over his own stifled laughter, Wes listened as Zhao boasted about his class. The title Summoner certainly did sound cool, but Zhao didn't provide much details beyond that. Wes wasn't sure if that was an effort to conceal the intricacies of the mechanics behind his class or was just a bit of simple boasting. He also didn't really care that much.
"A friend request sounds nice, always good to have friends in a pinch," he chimed with a smile. A quick flick of his wrist and he sent the request to Tommy. Wes's action made him pause, pondering two thoughts. First, the act of sending a friend request was just too familiar for his taste. Wes didn't like how comfortable he had become with the new ways of this world. It had not been long enough for this to be his new normal. Second, Wes felt like he should send a friend request to Zhao as well.
The man was clearly, utterly uninterested in Wes and Wes knew nothing about him, but he seemed not-evil which was enough at this point. With a sigh, and the resignation of his laughter, he sent the request. If Zhao ignored it or dismissed it, Wes could at least feel comfortable knowing that he tried to be nice.
He took a sip of his coffee, the drink still warm. Earnestly, he engaged Zhao in conversation. Still wearing a smile, Wes waved to the nearby seat, "You can join us you know."

When Nubia pointed to him first, then herself, then the hole, Wes just shook his head. He had no interest in going down there. No, not at all. He watched on as Nubia grabbed some hay and lit it. That’s much better than trying to strain to see Wes thought, and rubbed his eyes from having been straining to see.
The lit hay would fall, but not for too long. It lit up, revealing the path that Wes had thought he spotted in the low light.
"That's not too far down" he started, but Nubia had already made her way to the base of the hole. He stood above, looking down, as she scanned the area for safety. When she was done and motioned for him to join, Wes once again shook his head. However, the sound of movement, of lots of scurrying, from outside of the barn made him change his mind. He practically jumped down, sliding with his feet along the slight slant of the rim. Landing with a show athleticism far unworthy of the haphazard way he flung himself down, he looked to Nubia and then back up.
At the edge of the hole, was a mischief of those gross mice, each looking down at them with their beady, black eyes. None made any move to come down. Rather, they just sniffed, their nostrils flaring and whiskers bouncing, and stared.
"Hmm..." he furrowed his brow, "I really did not want to come down here but its looking better than being up there, shall we?" He walked ahead, but not too far ahead.
After an initial pitch of darkness, that Wes would rely on for Nubia for a light source, if any, there was an ominous, yellow glow. Wes slowed his already measured pace at the first sign of the eerie light. But with seeing and hearing no signs of movement, he steadily progressed.
The glow grew brighter and brighter until they arrived at the source. Stepping out of the tunnel and into a large cavern, there was a giant yellow stone etched into ceiling. He hadn't thought they'd been traveling downward, but the space they were in now had such a grand ceiling that they must have been a few dozen more feet below the surface. And not only was the ceiling large, but the cavern itself was spacious.
Around the rim of the cavern was a circle of water, no more than a few feet wide at any point. The water was moving rather than stagnant, though Wes couldn't tell in what direction it was moving or where it was moving to, and under the yellow light it had a rather sickly appearance to it. It was shallow, with cobbled stone beneath it, and Wes stepped through the water toward the center.
In the middle of the room, directly beneath the giant yellow gem, was a long table covered in a lavish pink table cloth. An assortment of chairs--from wingbacks with plush fabric and ornate trims to simple wooden dining chairs--circled the table. There were enough to sit a dozen on each side.
At each seat there was a setting. A simple one, with a fold napkin, a cup and a plate, and a small spoon meant for stirring. In the dead center of the table, there were two obnoxiously large items: a simple white teapot, and a banded top hat.

Wes found himself laughing along. "That's you?" he exclaimed. "Of course I saw the notice, I think everyone has seen it by now. That sound's fascinating."
He listened as the Bronze Hawk extended an invite. The decadence of it alone sounded worth attending. Food? Drink? at a fancy event? Wes was more than committed to going at this point. The offer to have books set aside was icing on the cake. As thoughts of the potential extravagance danced through his head, Wes took a swig of his drink.
"Oh well, my new friend, you have a way with words because I will certainly be coming out to see you," Wes winked and then offered a little cheers before taking another drink.
Wes then raised a hand and accessed his inventory. A couple flicks of his finger and he brought forth one of the items he received earlier. He placed the carnelian pebbles on the table, gently. He hovered his hand over them for a second, looking for a sign of detonation before relaxing. "If you'd like, I'll sell these to you? You could probably turn them for a bigger profit at your auction, and I won't be offended. It'll be fun to feel included in the first ever 'Bronze Hawk's Bizarre Bazaar.'" he quoted the name with much more enthusiasm than necessary.
"What makes it bizarre, by the way?" Wes wondered out loud, taking another sip of his drink. It was running low now. "Is it the items?" he then added, with a cock of his head and a playful lift to his voice, "Or is it you?"

Wes scrunched his nose at the bloody hand and pulled his own back before Vladimir had a chance to introduce himself. Even though his hand was still clean, he felt the need to wipe his palm off on his pant legs.
"Well, it is very nice to meet you, Vladimir." Wes smiled and then nodded, "And you're right, I should find something better to ride." He knew how it sounded, but save for his eyes growing a bit wider at the shock of his own words, he tried to play it off as if the double entendre was lost on him. Before he could embarrass himself any further, he stepped away and towards his fallen ally.
Carl's body looked as if he had been facing back towards where they came, like he had turned to talk to the group when the goblin caught him from behind. He was a little confused as to how the monster managed to sneak up on the dexterity-aligned class-wielder, but Wes considered that answer lost. He knelt down and said a little prayer, before making a motion of a cross before him. He wasn't particularly religious, and he was sure the cross was wrong (he had really just did a random up down left right), but it felt wrong not to acknowledge the lost life. Especially with what he planned to do next.
Wes began to rifle through one of Carl's pockets, looking for anything useful. The intervention of the Inventory meant that few people actually carried things on their person, but one could hope. He found a couple of dollars--a currency he rarely used now--and a pack of gum. He put the money back in the pocket but offered the gum to Vladimir. He was not inclined to eat anything that he found on a dead body. That felt way too cursed.
He only managed to make it through one pocket before he was too disturbed to continue. He gave a small nod, a whisper of thanks, and then stood back to his feet. Wes spoke with the least possible amount of enthusiasm possible, "It feels like we should like do something for him..." It wasn't that he hated Carl, but he hadn't been his biggest fan. Their party was a matter of convenience and survival more than anything else.
"But, anyway" he turned to face Vladimir. "What are your plans now?" Wes would follow this man pretty much anywhere now. At least until he could make it back to a safe zone.

"Ah you're familiar?" Wes was surprised, not that he should have been. It was a pretty well known book across a number of disciplines and many had read it, but he had a touch of the self-important-grad-student mindset that led him to believe anything he was reading was too niche for the masses.
"I haven't read it before either," he looked down ad the book and thumbed through a couple pages, "but I had planned to in my coursework." He smiled to himself remembering when he first learned of his acceptance in to his graduate studies.
Wes welcomed the man joining him. He closed the book, slid it off to his side, and turned his smile to his new company. It was then that a waiter stopped by with his piña colada. Wes thanked the man before immediately taking a sip, "oh this is good!" he took another.
...the fall of civilization. Wes couldn't say he hadn't thought of it that way, but to hear it said so succinctly was disconcerting. "I don't know if its typical, but for me, I guess its an attempt to maintain sometime of normalcy. I've managed to read quite a bit since the... tutorials. Its a great way to keep my mind off of all of this." He gestured broadly and looked around. The Hub still didn't feel like a real place, and perhaps it wasn't.
"What have you found yourself preoccupied with lately, just fruity drinks?" it was a bit of a tease, but Wes was genuinely interested in how others were handling the new world.

As the goblin swung its fist, Wes gasped. He then gasped again as the man vanished and appeared behind the goblin. He felt a glimmer of pride that his boon had been helpful. Wes smiled on as the battle concluded.
The hook of the leg sent the goblin tumbling to the ground, sending a small dust of dirt flying. It let out a snarling yell that broke into a screech as it was stabbed in the back. Squeamish, Wes turned away at the twist of the blade. The goblin thrashed a moment longer, continuing to scream, before falling limp and falling silent.
Wes waited a moment longer before he stepped forward and slowly approached the goblin. Quickly, he kicked--well more like pushed with his foot--one of the goblin's limbs. As he did, he recoiled, squinting his eyes shut and throwing an arm up to block his face. After a pause, he opened one eye to see that the goblin truly was dead. He relaxed, opening the other eye and putting his arm down. He took a quick scan of the area but it looked like no other goblins were approaching.
He turned to look up at the man that had saved him. Wes suddenly felt more uncomfortable than he had when the goblin was charging.
"Thanks" his voice cracked. An attempt to cover the squeak and to give him a chance to clam down, Wes covered his mouth and forced a cough. "I mean... thank you. You saved me there. I really don't know what would have happened." His voice trailed off before he extended a hand and added, "I'm Wes."

Hearing her speak again, he knew she sounded familiar, but he pushed the thought aside. As she asked about the tutorial and made reference to her own, a wave of sadness washed over him. His shoulders grew heavy, his gaze grew soft, and his voice much gentler than before.
"No, no trolls for me. You had robots? That must have been scary" he did his best to smile while he spoke, but anyone discerning enough would spot how the expression didn't touch his eyes--how the smile failed to overtake the sadness. Sadness not for him, at least not entirely, but more so for the young woman before him. She was far too young, Wes thought, to have had to endure the tutorial. He thought his had been tragic enough, but his mind raced now imagining how much worse it could have been and how much worse it probably had been for others.
He watched the little tetris blocks--he didn't know the word for them--stack up on her screen. He remembered reading recently that tetris was a great way for combatting PTSD. He was glad she was playing.
He felt a pull to ask the girl more about her experience. Wes wanted to provide some kind of comforting shoulder to cry on, or to help guide her through dealing with whatever horror she had faced, but he couldn't. He just didn't have it in him. And not that he had any credentials in that regard anyway; he just felt an obligation to help.
Wes could barely mange his own feelings right now. He didn't have the bandwidth to take on someone else's. Ashamed he wasn't strong enough to help carry whatever burden she might have, he pivoted the conversation.
Pointing at her screen, he teased, "looks like you might lose if you don't match some rows."

As Wes listened to Tommy's reply, he felt the fervor that had encapsulated him begin to subside. In the wake of the charm, Wes just felt some confusion. Ninja? What the hell he thought to himself, his face growing warm with embarrassment at how ridiculous he had just sounded. And the chopping motion? Wes now wanted to hide.
"An Enigma?" Wes managed to reply, though not with about a bit of a cough. He leaned back in his chair, sitting how he normally would, well almost anyway. He was too painfully aware of his actions and of his own body to relax enough to act as he typically would during what should have been a rather normal conversation. No, now he sat a little to straight, a little too rigid. "That moniker makes sense given the mask" he added, with a little smile and a small nod.
He was about to comment on the rest of what Tommy said when the two were interrupted. Wes sat baffled, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly ajar as "Boob Lord" appeared from out of no where and practically threw himself at Enigma. Zhao--he couldn't stand to think of anyone by the title of Boob Lord--must have been eavesdropping, Wes thought, for he referred to the two by the last bit of their conversation. The reference to him as "Ninja" made him roll his eyes, more at himself than anything else.
As Zhao continued, Wes couldn't help but laugh. His expression shifted of one to shock to one that he struggled to keep calm. Biting back laughter (and also hoping to deflect from how ridiculous he had just been), Wes fed into Zhao's request.
"Oh I think that's a brilliant idea. You two should definitely be partners, maybe even form a party!" He didn't feel too bad; he suspected it was Tommy's ability that had himself acting so ridiculous. This was karma.

Wes watched in awe as the man disarmed the goblin with ease. He felt embarrassed thinking that the buff he provided was needed at all. Rather, the man seemed more than capable of taking care of the Big Goblin with his own abilities.
The kick the man gave to the goblin made Wes grimace and he instinctively touched his chest. He had no sympathy for the beast, but just watching the blow, Wes knew it had to hurt. The goblin recoiled from the kick, sliding backwards, but sadly not falling to the floor. It growled a low, rumbling curse and flexed its knuckles before wildly charging forward.
The whites of its eyes were gone, replaced with a deep rage-induced red, and spittle bubbled from behind clenched teeth. It was absolutely rabid, so angered from the man’s brilliant show of force that it had entered into a more aggressive, more primal state. The muscles on its arms seemed to swell twice their size and just in its entirety the goblin seemed even bigger.
It swung again at the man, this time without a weapon, but with much more speed and much more force. The same maneuver would not work twice now that the goblin was enraged.
Wes watched the attack helplessly, standing behind the man with the desire to flee as his party did. He didn’t know if he stayed because he had the courage to help, or because he lacked the courage to move.

Wes had a suspicion that they should check the inside of the barn, but he did not want to be the first person to go inside. So instead, he continued to explore the outside of the building. With no expertise on what he should be checking for in terms of any signs of life or safety, he did acted randomly with whatever thought crossed his mind. Each of his actions lacked any finesse, they were clumsy and unrefined.
He first walked along the front and stopped at one of the boarded windows. He pushed gently, testing their strength, but was met with firm resistance. There was not even the slightest budging. He then actually took notice of the placement of the boards and the nails. They were all on the outside of the barn, meaning someone had nailed the boards from the outside. Wes wasn’t sure if that meant anything, but he figured if he was barricading himself in somewhere, he would board from the inside.
He then bent down and checked the ground by the window. No footprints, no unpacked dirt, there were no signs that anyone had been there anytime recently. Did this mean that it had been a while now that the farm had been boarded up? Or did this mean that the farm had not been boarded up by a person, but instead by a system-- the system?
Wes stood up and scratched his head. He turned to check on what Nubia was doing but stopped himself from speaking. He didn’t want to blurt out that she should lead them inside, at least not yet.
Instead, he walked the rest of the length of the barn front and rounded the corner opposite of where they had arrived. He now stood as far away from the hole in the roof as he could. As he turned the corner, he spotted a tiny flurry of moment at the far edge of the barn. It was small and Wes only caught a glimmer, but he thought he spotted something white. Excited, he doubled back and waived down Nubia. If his initial waves didn’t get her attention, he would offer a whistle, and if that didn’t work a small, whispered shout.
Once he managed to get a hold of her, Wes would attempt to silently signal what he had seen. He made a little bunny with two fingers on his hand and did a little hopping move before then pointing to the other front corner of the building. If his poor excuse for sign language didn’t work, he would just very loudly whisper "rabbit".
Wes then pointed toward the opposite corner of him, hoping to get Nubia to walk around the other side of the building, before turning back around the corner and stalking down the edge. He would see no other signs of life as he walked the broadside of the barn. And whoever reached the edge of the barn first, would not find a white rabbit.
Rather, they would find the back of the barn wide open, revealing a spare interior, well illuminated thanks to the renovated ceiling. The barn was split into two levels: the floor, and an upper level that rested above the front half of the barn. Wes didn’t see a ladder or any other means of getting up to the second floor, but he did spot a table, some chairs, and a makeshift cot. There might have been some other things there, but he couldn’t see from his angle. As for the first floor, it was mostly barren, save for a large stack of hay in one of the front corners.
What was most interesting was that there was a gaping hole in the floor. It looked as if a meteor had fallen from the sky and landed in the barn and burned into the ground. The hole was dark, difficult to see the bottom of, but Wes could just barely make out the contours. He could also see that the hole was less of a hole and more of a tunnel that lead somewhere else.
