—Castle

@kimtaetae *laughs softly as I follow you*
So far the castle and armory are the only places I’ve been, so anywhere would be good.
*bites my lip softly*
Let’s go for treasure. We’ll level up by fighting monsters on the way, and we’ll make money, right?

@nochu /*nods and leads you over to the guild office*/
Missions are the quickest way to level up, and they push you to explore areas that you've never been before.
/*looks at you*/
Should we focus on killing monsters or collecting treasure?

@kimtaetae *looks at you and shrugs*
Whatever you think we should do.
You know better than I do.

@nochu /*nods a little, and looks at you. links arms with you to lead the way, wherever we decide to go*/
Sure! Killing monsters sounds like fun.
We should probably stop by the guild office to pick up a mission, right?

@kimtaetae *smiles a little*
Then let’s go kill some monsters!
I want more stylish armor.

@nochu /*smiles a little as you look into the mirror and pout, but think you look cute even if the armor isn't all that stylish*/

Of course~
The higher the level you reach, the more stylish pieces you can buy.

@kimtaetae *blushes a little as you come in to help me into the armor, frowning slightly when I look in the mirror*
I look stupid.
*pouts a little*
I can get more stylish armor later, yeah?

@nochu /*keeps myself occupied by looking around the shop, paying to the amount of detail that the artists put into everything, smiling fondly at their work. turns my head in your direction and laughs softly when you call out to me
walks over to the curtain, and pulls them out of the way so that I can join you behind them, looking to see where you’re having problems*/

It’s not that hard.

/*takes the armor from your hands helps you into it*/

There. Now you look like a proper knight.

@kimtaetae *follows and sees the area that you are talking about*
*nods a little*
Okay, I'll be right back.
*goes to the changing area to get the armor on, frowning a little when I can't sort out how some pieces are supposed to work*
T-Taehyung?
*calls out to you*
Do you think you can come in here and help me with this?

@nochu /*watches as the npc takes the money and hands the complete armor set over to you. turns to you and smiles a little, waving for you to follow me*/

The armor shops all have rooms for you to change so that you can equip your armor.
In order for the game to be completely life-like, you have to change yourself.

/*points off to a little hidden area at the back of the shop*/

You can change in there.

@kimtaetae *looks at the armor that the npc suggest and frowns, thinking they can’t be very comfortable*
*changes that frown to a small smile as you look at me, and nods a little*
This will do for now.
*hands him the 10 gold pieces*

@nochu NPC: *nods slightly and goes to collect the armor, bringing back a chest plate and shoulder pad as well as some greaves and hands them over to you before giving telling you the total for the items* These are the best we have in stock for your level. Feel free to check back for stronger armor later. That will be 10 gold pieces. Or 500 silvers.

/*looks over the armor as the npc brings it out, checking to make sure it's to my standing. frowns slightly as it's not as stylish as I'd like for it to be, but hey. what cna you do when you're on a lower level?*/

Do you like these?

@kimtaetae *wants to refuse and insist on getting money myself, but can’t say anything before you start talking to the npc behind the counter*

Fine. But I’ll want to buy you something with money I earned myself later.

@nochu /*shakes my head slightly as I grab your hand to place the pouch into it myself. pats your hand and smiles softly, motioning toward the npc behind the counter.*/

I have plenty more where this came from, and you need something to start you off.

/*leads you over to the counter, smiling softly at the npc*/

My friend here is a warrior, and he's obviously new. What's the best armor you have to offer for him?

@kimtaetae *follows you around the castle town, amazed by how many people are crowding the streets already, until I realise that a lot of them are npcs created just to take up space until others arrive. weaves my way through the crowd, trying to keep up with you, not really expert at maneuvering through crowds like this since I don't get out much in real life.*
*looks around the armor shop when we enter, amazed by the amount of choices that are available to even low level people like me.*
*looks at you and pouts a little when you try to offer some money*

I-I shouldn't accept that—
You worked hard for your money—

@nochu /*nods a little and directs you through the crowded town streets, mostly full of npcs created to fill the space until more players start joining the game. leads you past a few buildings added in for housing and such until we reach the main market area, bustling with life from players and npcs alike, all shopping for food and travel goods. leads you past the outdoor market area and to a place that is lined with a few main shops.*/
This is just the starting town, so most shops will only offer lower level weapons at first. The shop owners are designed to offer higher level weapons as you level up in the game.
We have all of the basic shops here from food stores to pharmacies. There are also armor and weapon shops, which is where I think we should go first.
/*leads you into the one and only armory in the town, knowing that your simple clothes that you started with would not be enough to defend you from any blows from monsters. opens the door to the shop to reveal a small cabin with walls that are lined with different types of armor and shields for all different types of people.*/
I'll even give you some money to start you off.
/*pulls a pouch full of golden coins from my pocket and hands it to you.*/

@kimtaetae *keeps following*
Okay~
I really need to know where to buy potions
And hopefully where to get some good starter weapons.
*smiles a little*

@nochu *laughs a little and shakes my head, leading you first out of the castle and then to the town*
So first we'll go by the main shops and stuff, and then we'll go to the bar to talk.

@kimtaetae *nods as I follow you*
Sure!
I'm really bad at directions, so it will take me a little while to remember anything.
*laughs softly*

@nochu //nods a little
Then we shall go.
//leads you out of the throne room and then out of the castle
Since you're new to the game, I think I could give you a tour of the starting town.
Let you know where everything is.

@kimtaetae *examines your face a little, slightly suspicious, as you admit that you're two years older than me, not believing that you can possibly be that old*
*smiles and nods a little*
Sure.
We can explore a little before going on a quest then.

@nochu //looks at you and laughs softly
Don't let my looks fool you.
I am two years older than you.
//smiles a little and turns to look at the exit
Now.
Shall we explore the town a bit?

@kimtaetae *laughs and nods a little*
I am 20 ~
But what about you?
*tilts my head a little*
You look really young too.

@nochu //shrugs a little
I thought our first mission should be to just get to know each other.
//smiles a bit as I look around the throne room, admiring the amount of detail that the artist put into the game
//looks back at you and smiles more
We can explore the town.
Maybe get some drinks...
//trails off as I examine your face
You are at least 18, right?

@kimtaetae *smiles happily*
Maybe we will.
*gives you a polite nod*
So—
Now that we're a team, what's our first mission?

@nochu //chuckles again softly and places a hand on your shoulder
Fear not for I don't have very high expectations.
It's not like I've had a player character knight to form any from.
//smiles softly
You're the first to join my team.
Maybe we'll have more characters and a team name soon.

@kimtaetae *gives you a surprised look, with my mouth forming an 'o' shape*
*closes my mouth and nods a little*
Y-yeah—
I'm up to the task.
*smiles happily*
I just hope I don't disappoint you.

@nochu //chuckles softly and shakes my head
It's not part of a tutorial.
There's no tutorial here.
//smiles softly
You're the first player to join as a warrior.
I need a noble, non npc knight by my side, so I chose you.
Are you up to the task?

@kimtaetae Yes, your highness.
*slowly looks up as you tap me, and brings myself to my feet when you motion for me to rise*
*blinks and shakes my head at your question, unsure of why I would be summoned here the instant I stepped foot in the game*
Because it's part of a tutorial?

@nochu //waits in the throne room for the knight to bring you to the castle
//turns around when I hear the large doors open and the knight say something to me
//smiles softly as you kneel, and dismisses the knight so we can have a little privacy
It's Jungkook, right?
//steps forward and taps your shoulder, making a motion for you to rise
Do you know why I called you here?
