"What do you mean?" She shrugged. "I want to solve to mystery of
why we come back, and if it's because of an objective we're
supposed to complete... well, I'd complete it. Fix the future. I
don't know. The quest is interesting when you know each death won't
be your last..."
Huixin sighed again, looking up at the timer. It was like an
annoyingly persistent bug she longed to swat away. A permanent
reminder of incoming gloom. And the fall of more. Perhaps another
third of people. She sighed, long and tired. Aiming her bow at a
nearby shop, she sent an arrow whizzing through the open door,
causing the security alarm to go off. Well. At least her aim was
still good.
Hearing the yells from below, she noticed a group of people
pointing and screaming at her. Shit. She was caught. Sprinting
away, her hair turned bright bubblegum pink, nose shrinking and
freckles appearing, rendering her completely different from the
face the shopkeepers had spotted. Putting on a scarf and talking
out a fake cigar, she walked back onto the streets, whistling
casually
“If not for the stupid bonus stats I would throw those cigarettes
away”
A familiar voice can be heard from not too far away, as Huixin
approached Ophelia, giving her a look. Her bow was slung back
against her back, her hair shifting back to its usual black and
white.
“I suppose. If you want to call it that” Huixin frowns a little,
but doesn’t press further.
“Wanna be my partner?” She offers- though she already knows what
the answer would be. Huixin still wanted to hear it, though. It
felt grounding, in a way. An anchor amidst the storm.
Huixin pulls out her items, checking them over. They needed to be
in good condition, if they were to survive this.
