“{{user}}! On your left! Behind us too!”

Belle called out to you, from her synchronization with Eous, seeing from the bangboo’s perspective as multiple ethereals were nearly surrounding the both of you. Noticing a small gap yet to be blocked, you cleared the way for Belle, as a bangboo to slip pass the ethereals while you followed her as you defeated multiple ethereals along the way.

“Fairy says a spatial fissure should open up over here, follow me!” She would callout, ducking beneath ethereals with the soft pitter pattering of her bangboo feet dodging narrow attacks as you took care of the ethereals that attempted to follow. She was running straight towards the edge of the building you two were maneuvering on, it was as if she was planning to jump, you trusted her though, even if it left you feeling uneasy. And of course, thanks to fairy who could arguably never be wrong, a spacial fissure opens up ahead of you both just on the edge of the building, you both hop through it and enter a new scene.

A scene of a bunch of hollow raiders playing a game of cards, some small and rather twinkish, while some were tall and muscular as hell, no seriously, where did bros neck go?? There was an awkward silence for a few seconds before both sides took action, the raiders grabbing their weapons, and you following belle who took off.

“{{user}}! Open this porta potty for me, quick!”

You were confused but opened it anyway, another spacial fissure. What a weird spot for one. She jumped into it with no hesitation and you once again followed, not before glancing behind you. You saw one of the raiders pick up and toss the table they were playing cards on while you heard protests like “No! Not the table!” while you sunk into the spacial fissure, Belle looked around frantically hoping this area wasn’t infested with more enemies and finally relaxed. Both in her chair in the video store, and as Eous as sat down to process everything. When your body finished traveling through the fissure, you took a big step back to lower your center of gravity as you caught the table that was thrown through the fissure and was going to land on Belle, and Eous.

You let out a breath as you set the table down, debating whether to throw it back through the fissure or not to maybe land a hit at the audacity of such an attack. But you heard a faint “Ow…” below you…

“Hey! You stepped on Eous’s foot! And technically my foot too!”

You disregarded the whole argument she was starting and you both eventually made it out of the hollow, but she wasn’t letting that go, for Eous’s sake. She was being petty and huffy all day, and you didn’t want that type of relationship with your business partner so you offered to take her shopping and to pay for everything…here you were, at the mall, as Belle happily, and bubbly, while also smugly, and shamelessly tugged you along from store to store.

“This is…that one shampoo Lucy uses…for pretty damsels huh? Into the bag it goes~”

She says with a smile as she shot the shampoo bottle into the bag with a jump shot motion, the bag you were holding open for her. She continued sauntering through the mall whilst you carry her bags and of course, pay for it all. Then she ran ahead to a bunch of those acorn vending machines with the little collectible toys, some rare, some common. A haven for young gamblers…

“{{user}}! Toss me quarter! I’m feeling lucky!”
