[VRMMO] Dead One

"..."

"Welp, Oron should do his job and what not... Still, I think we should sent both Tail and LM to help him out." – said ClownFrog as he and Shri were walking through castle corridors.

"I’ve been keep telling him that it is stupid that things could end up escalating out of control if he tries lifting up all the weight by himself." – said Shri.

"He can be sometimes stubborn when he want to have somewhat perfect and smooth plan... Since... You know."

"..."

"I know." – said ClownFrog.

"Still, even though your plan seems to had worked way better than even you expected, I still doubt that he will do that alone."

"I’ve already asked Tail and LM to prepare themselves to head to the dragon empire."

"But obviously I want them to have somewhat prepared few things."

"Considering how fucked up the situation there is, I wouldn’t be surprised if some new random bullshit would occur... So, I want to make sure that we at least had some countermeasures."

"..."

"..."

"What about your eggs mate?" – asked Shri.

"..."

"Well... Honestly speaking, I don’t really wish to... You know... Move away from them." – said ClownFrog.

"Honestly, I wish to finish one of the two problems we are dealing with before they are born..."

"But again... I don’t know... It is just all... So noisy and chaotic." – said ClownFrog as he and Shri arrived at the garden area.

"Hm? But didn’t ’benefactor’ went silent once again? He finally stopped kicking up such loud commotion." – said Shri.

"Yeah, he did... But still, things are too quiet right now, to the point they are chaotic beneath it all." – said ClownFrog.

"Being the freaking emperor is really no fucking easy job... If anything, is stressful as fuck."

"Not only that, but you are forgetting something."

"We have in our possession several Forgotten World’s items."

"True, you cannot steal them, but again, ’benefactor’ may have something annoying way."

"...You are suspecting he has a way of stealing the ownership of the Forgotten World’s items?" – asked Shri.

"It would make sense if you think about it a bit." – replied ClownFrog.

"Then again, we were never really attacked us nor he had made any kind of offer like, he stay out of our way in exchange for Forgotten World’s items."

"The fact that he didn’t even attempted to make any form of peace talk with us is worrying to say the least."

"If anything, he is dead set on being at war with us." – said ClownFrog as he crouched down and inspected some flowers.

"..."

(Living flower... Huh?) – thought ClownFrog.

(Honestly, I still don’t know if this world is real or not.)

(Is this flower a real flower? Or a digital one?)

(There is still way too many questions out there and ’benefactor’ is one of our main leads.)

(I’m scared, if I’m honest.)

(I’ve had been always scared, ever since that fucking incident with Sloth.)

(But we need to move forward.) – thought ClownFrog as he stood up and started walking around once again alongside Shri.

"By the way, what about GreyHunt? Is moving still in progress?" – asked Shri.

"Well, it isn’t really easy to move from one country to another and decide that you want to live there." – said ClownFrog.

"Still, me and the others found him a place, so the main problem are the documents right now."

"It will take bit of time, but he should be done with all of that stuff soon."

"..."

"..."

"Tell me honestly now."

"What do you think of our current situation?" – asked ClownFrog as he stopped walking.

"..."

"I don’t know." – replied Shri.

"And before you fucking say I’m lazy with this answer, let me fucking explain, okay?"

"What I mean to say, is that the thing is just fucked up."

"Is there really anyway to predict it?"

"I don’t know if I should be pessimistic or optimistic about stuff right now."

"I can tell you this."

"Things are speeding up."

"And it wouldn’t be surprised if some kind of incident were to occur."

"..."

"And that is why we need to deal with dragon empire." – said ClownFrog.

"And deal with the incident before it happens."

[Meanwhile: Dragon Empire – Pyrgos Clan’s Territory.]

"You are coming to the empire!?" – asked surprised Oron.

["Yeb. ClownFrog and Shri told us that we should be going to you."] – said Tail via {Chat – Video Call}.

["And they told us this."]

["Fuck your opinion about going solo."]

["Heck. We all understand how important the situation is, and there is no fucking way you can do it all alone."]

["Me and LM will be soon heading to the dragon empire; we almost finished our preparations."]

["Once we arrive at the empire, we will talk where will meet up, okay?"]

"..."

"Fine..." – said Oron.

["Huh... I thought you would argue or something like that?"]

"Nah... My sis will definitely nag me to death if she is supporting you."

"It is better if I give up here."

"..."

(Then again, I came to understand that I really need more hands here.) – thought Oron.

(Or more exactly, more eyes.)

(Things are starting to get hectic here, and I cannot really observe each scene at the same time, hoping to find some kind of clues or slip ups.)

"..."

"When you arrive here, contact me, okay?"

["Understood."]

"Oh! Wait! Don’t end call yet!"

["?"]

["What is it?"]

"If possible, could you bring something here for me from the empire?"

["What? Do you want us to bring more drug fish? Sorry, but Min said she can’t do that, we took way too many of them in the first place when we delivered those fishes to you last time."]

"No. Not that."

"I want you to bring this instead." – said Oron as he began explaining his request to Tail.

["..."]

["You sure you want us to bring that to you?"]

"Yeb. Do it. Honestly, I didn’t really expect to use it... But at the rate things are going, it would be for the best if I had those things ready on standby just in case."

["Well... If that is what you want."]

["Anything else?"]

"No. That is all. Thanks."

["Welp, if you change your mind, then quickly give us the call before we leave this place."]

["See ya soon."]

[Player Tail has ended the call.]

"..."

*Sigh*

(Welp... Maybe I will need them more than I think?) – thought Oron.

(Still.....)

"..."

"No."

(No point in questioning or arguing it now.)

(But I shouldn’t just wait for them and continue my own investigation.)
