T'was a cruel, cruel day....
Elsewhere, anyways. Around where Tiffany and Lyle were, it was pretty nice. Tiffany was quite happy and chipper, and decided to spread that joy by POUNCING at Lyle's back with an immense GLOMP! Now, Lyle normally wouldn't have minded this expression from Tiffany, but today, he was reading a book. Specifically, an instruction manual on some new game called Reyta.
"What's that?" asked the girl, ponytails flipping as she cocked her head to one side and peered over his shoulder.
"Instruction book for that game we agreed to help each other with." Replied the paler, much more unhealthy looking boy. "I think I'm going to be that Knight after all. Healing is always good."
"Hehe. I'm going to be a maaaage.... what's the name of that dragonhalf race again?"
"Deysetsu, or summat. They seem pretty decent. I'll stick with human, though."
"But Deysetsu get TAILS! Like Mink!" Tiffany seems pleased at that, bouncing up and down enthusiastically. "Too bad they don't have wings too, 'cuz flying would be soooo cool! Hope there's a spell for it, at least. You think there will be?"
Lyle sighed, reading through a bit more of the manual. Mostly the set-up. He wanted to be sure he had that right. "I'm almost certain there will be. I'd look it up on the internet if it weren't immoral."
"Nothing else to do except find out, then! We also going to get our own costumes? Shibtastic ones like from Final Fantasy or something?"
Lyle shrugged, examining a picture quite closely. "Probably. Everyone and their mother will have those, of course."
Tiffany still doesn't seem fazed, and shrugs, grinning. "Should be fun, then!"
Sighing again, Lyle turned the corner to where the two split up. "So, we're going to wait for each other at wherever we show up, right?"
"Mhm. I'll look for the funky human knight, you look for the funky Deysetetsu-dragonhalf-thingy mage. Seeya!" Tiffany gave one last squeeze and an affectionate hair ruffle before she began to sprint off to her own house, turning a cartwheel along the way out of sheer exuberance. Only good reflexes kept her from landing on her head as her backpack flipped with her, but she laughed as she regained her balance, and gave one more wave before she continued running. Chuckling a bit at his friend's exuberance, Lyle walked on home with his rather large tome of instructionness. When he got there, he double- and triple-checked his system, until, fairly confident he got it right, booted it up.
This was in contrast to the ever-lovely Tiffany, though, who simply booted it up without bothering to check it!
At the set-up screen, without his handy book/let, Lyle makes a small error...turning his character female. There also seemed to be a bug in his system that wouldn't allow him to turn it back! "Well. Crap." Were the only words he muttered during the rest of the setup. S/he was especially careful of choosing the Knight class, though.
Of course, Tiffany lacked any such problems, quite easily making herself female, Deysetsu, and a MAGE!
Sighing, Lyle, now known as 'Terra' throughout the game world, stayed on the watch for a certain hyperactive dwagongirl.
Sadly, Lyle would have to wait a bit longer; Tiffany had selected her name to be 'Tiffi' and was enthusiastically messing about with her outfit. In a playful mood, she picked out an outfit which was more than slightly reminescent of Naga of Slayers, consisting as it did of basically a leather bikini, which had the top and bottom connected by metal rings, one ring directly over her navel. Long leather boots, cuffs on her legs, and armbands went with the outfit, as well as a dramatic green cloak which had a sharp, jagged collar.
Unfortunately, Tiffi selected this as her permanent costume. She did NOT mean to do that.
Thus, a scantily-clad, dark-skinned dragongirl with ponytails and a red tail popped into existence.
Tiffi took a long look at her outfit... then blinked in disbelief.
Lyle merely thought to himself 'where is she?' during all this, of course.
"UNHOLY POCKY ON A SHIZZLE STICK!" Came a scream from behind Lyle.
"That can only be Tiffan-" Terra's comment was cut short as he looked around at her, and caught sight of her outfit. Where s/he gave a low whistle of appreciation.
"I'd make a comment about how I wish you could look like that in real life, but I'm not going to get into that."
Tiffi automatically thwapped Terra, who gave a light 'ow,' then took a doubletake. "Hey, you're a GIRL! Wait...LYLE?!"
Terra did his/her best to lookepositively ashamed. "...Yeah. I hit the wrong button."
Tiffi clutched her cloak about herself to cover as much of the leather outfit as possible, then giggled, waggling her eyebrows teasingly. "Riiight. Just trying to find out their measurements, huh? You're cuter that way, though." Tiffi added a sagely nod to that comment for emphasis.
Terra gave Tiffi a light glare, then just said, "Hey, at least I don't have to deal with cramps like you do. Even in the game."
For that comment, Terra received another thwap, which s/he danced out of the way of! "Quit gloating, you!"
Terra grinned, laughing out another comment. "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...hate me because I'm beautiful and have the advantages of being a guy!"
Tiffi, of course, chased after her friend with more smackages! Not to mention using her tail for smacking as well, which Terra managed to avoid, for the most part while she laughed like mad. "STUPID KNIGHT SKILLS! BAD LYLE-TERRA PERSON! NO COOKIE!" she screamed, much to the amusement of passerby. However, at that moment, Lyle was hit by an adept swing of the tail, and fell over, where Tiffi flung herself at him/her! "That's it, no mercy!" Terra, however, seemed rather calm, used his brains, and mercilessly pounced on Tiffi's single fear.
"EEK! Behind you, Tiffi! A HUGE ladybug!"
The yelp of sheer terror was enough to cause sympathy in even the most heartless fiend as Tiffi instinctively ducked, clinging to Terra.
Unfortunately, Terra is far more heartless, and merely began tickling Tiffi. This scene was, of course, by now, attracting attention from many spectators. And why wouldn't it? Two young ladies on top of eachother in broad daylight, one in a skimpy leather costume. Tiffi was alternating whimpers and fierce gales of laughter, laughing so hard that tears were in her eyes. "NOOOO FAAAAAIR!" she cried helplessly, while Terra just kept laughing at her squeals of mercy as s/he continued tickling.
"All's fair in love and war!" S/he cried, in a might womanly voice!
"But I don't love you! And aren't we supposed to be friends, not warriors?!" cried out the hapless mage.
Terra chuckled a bit more...and suddenly stopped tickling once s/he noticed the crowd. "Uh...party's over, folks. Go on home. Nothing more to see here. Move. Beat it."
The crowd, of course, was rather irate at having their fun taken away. Still, they went on, although with a few stragglers that were more or less ignored.
And thus were Tiffi and Terra introduced to the world of Reyta!
