Waaaaaait. Is this really a miniature sun? For real, for real? Or am I just being insane?
"Argh fuck" words escape me.
"Why did you stared at the sun?" Jenna voice resonate just after.
And I answer her with the most truthful point I can ever bring out.
"Cause it's fucking weird."
Annie support me "it's weird indeed"
Balrow nod. HE'S STILL STARING HOW IN THE HELL!?
He's winning a staring contest against the sun.
And malfoy hum a bit before speaking out "it's true that it's weird"
Jenna voice come just after. "It's...true"
For a while we all stop talking. As if united by a single, simple, and universal truth.
This place is weird as fuck.
My hand come up to wave around "eh, whatever, saw even weirder"
I did saw weirder.
At my own shock thought, something happen Jenna answer, but like just after me, super fast. Her eyes look intense
"It's weird for sure"
I can see her brain starting to work from afar. Even malfoy stare at her with strange eyes, wondering 'Is that wooooorryheart?'
And I get her. She's cooking something in the background, gorden ramsay level theory and shit. Let her do her shit, she's feeling herself right now, for now it's time.
Time for MOOOOOOORE TALKING!
Annie break the silence as she grab one of her pillow to hug it.
Still on the ground.
That's an important detail, remember.
"Yeah, and it's not the weirdest thing we saw like lud said"
CALLING ME LUD NOW!?
I give her the look and she doesn't even notice it. Tsk. They don't deserve me.
Malfoy frown, wanting more info. "Like what?"
She snap her finger back. "Remember the thing?" She turn her head and look at Jenna. "Jenna do you still have the ammo thingy?
Oh a refiller. "The refiller."
Jenna who was raising an eyebrow at annie quickly understand what's happening as she hear my words. Taking the refiller out, she examine it again and her face take a small grimace.
"Yeah...it's weird alright." She throw it at annie.
And Annie start moving her arms around like a fucking seal to get it.
What the hell girl?
Annie catch it somehow, observe it. For a long time.
Ah she's trying to inspect it. Hah, she need to have it in her hand to focus, what a coooommoner.
Look at that, I'm better.
From my bed I stare at the refiller and try to know everything about it.
I remember the strange way it was written in, the impersonal manner, and vocalise the words.
Inspect.
[Refiller 101: Hey you! Yeah you! Tired of stocking all your arrows in your inventory? Annoyed at needing to keep the canonballs for your boss? Or worse, keeping dozen of stones for your slings? do you even have place for those healing potions anymore!? Jealous of the mules that have more inventory place than you? Then don't even worry as I have the solution for you!
Made with ingenious mana reproduction technology, this little baby will refill all of your weapons with just a tiny push of will!
Fine print: To use the refiller 101 one must firstly need to prime it with the weapon, the stocker (quiver, pouch...) And an example of ammunition (arrow, stone...) When done, simply push the weapon against the refiller, and push your will into the refiller.]
Damn it's weird alright.
Malfoy speak up just after "it is...indeed like an advertisement. Do you believe it may be a common item, privately owned in the multiverse?" His eyes are on me. Clearly asking the question to me as he toss the refiller at me.
Hah. Commoners. All of them.
I don't need to touch it to inspect.
Fuck malfoy behavior rubbing on me.
"Maybe? That's probable, but we litterally don't have enough information to be sure. It doesn't look like the usual system messages for sure"
A pillow fly up. An otter I swear. "OTTER NOISES" No no, sorry, that was in my imagination. In reality she said "Yep, they are all business-like, this one sounds weird as fuck." She COWER in terror. "That's the kind of shit I'd hear from a dubious seller in the middle of the night"
Jenna blink at her before looking at the sun again.
Oh right. The sun, wait.
IS BALROW STILL STARING AT THE SUN!?
Im-impossible.
"Even when you allocate points they aren't as informal as this"
Annie push herself up, suddenly more serious, looking at malfoy.
"Wait you had a point right!?" Her head snap to me. WHISPLASH ANY% SPEEDRUN! "You too!"
I point at myself "Me too!"
I had two. But that's a secret.
She turn. Litterally. Turning on herself like a beyblade before stopping and pointing both at malfoy and I.
"Explain! Everything! Me curious!"
Jenna look at her from behind, her small smile saying she's given up on understanding what the fuck is happening.
And balrow? Still staring at the sun I think.
A snort answer to Annie "still don't have a point? Hah, maybe you should go beg for some"
She almost jump on him right here and there but jenna follow up first "nobody but you two have points"
Annie stop and look at jenna and balrow.
I do the same. Especially at Jenna "Right. You both didn't get a point?"
Balrow shake his head. Jenna same.
Weird, thought Jenna would have one. She did a lot of kills on the goblins during the night. And lot's of damage to the boar.
How is the essence sharing even counted? Is it even shared?
Fucking weird ass system I swear.
"I'm really close though."
Oh, she's close.
Annie turn to look at us two again, still curious. Malfoy answer first. "That's not that interesting. It doesn't do much"
What?
"What!?"
Annie answer my own mental question.
I mean. This point affected me. VERY MUCH!
Malfoy raise his hand and point at me. But before he can do it, Jenna clap her hands "that's it! I knew I was forgetting something."
We all stop for a while to look at her. She look at balrow and ask, as the first skill holder of the group. "Didn't you got a skill too!" She smile at him.
I can litterally feel the innocence and happyness from a mile away, she just wanna have a skill friend.
Malfoy stop staring at the sun.
Unfortunately. Her skill friend is a dumb dumb old man that has a dumb moral code.
A rush of negative feelings, fueled by the thought my dream last night rush. It quickly dissapear as I play with my blanket though.
"Yes."
Jenna ask again.
Directly, not even a second of hesitation.
"What is it?"
Everyone is focused on balrow now.
Annie isn't even doing crazy shit. FOR ONCE. even if he hope she does.
He look at them all, then me, then all of them.
And me, again, he answer. Slow.
"The towering mounting shield form"
Annie prompt up "baaaaaaadass"
Malfoy nod a bit, agreeing. It suit his arrogant silver spoon palate.
And jenna, big innocent smile.
Do a fatality on balrow.
"What does it do?"
I'm sure the words must appear in slow motion in front of him.
He wait.
One second.
Two second.
His head turn, focusing on me.
Begging for help.
Urgh.
I swear.
THAT'S NOT MY FUCKING BUSINESS!
Well it kinda is.
For some reason, I remember the dream. Again, and again.
This time I have control.
I have power.
I can change how it goes.
I'm not helpless.
But should I really fuel this kind of behavior? I don't like it...it remind me of my dream again.
My words flow out before I even notice them, swift and carrying all throughout the room.
"He's waiting for me"
All attention focus back on me.
Curious glances.
One grateful.
Time to do some word weaving.
