Chapter 69

The rest of the first day was spent modifying his second floor, which James and Rue managed to finish with roughly 9 hours left to spare. So, no binge watching Supernatural for them, but at least James did manage to get a little rest in.

As such, by the time his alarm was going off, waking him from his sleep, there were just a few minutes remaining until the adventurers would be logging in.

”Bout time you're awake.” Rue was sitting comfortably in a chair, sipping easily on her hot chocolate. She shot him a wicked smile while motioning down towards the dungeon entrance. The timer showed just three minutes till it was game time.

”Since when do you ever wake up before me?” Seriously, the pixie had a habit of oversleeping in his opinion. If she was up before him, it was because she had something planned. And as much as James liked dicken racing, he generally didn't like his pixie's plans. They usually cost him resources.

She took a sip of her hot chocolate, as she motioned towards the screen in front of her. On it, she had frozen a scene, complete with closed captions. Though James didn't need to read them to know what was being said in the scene.

”Really Rue? Really?” She had apparently been watching Firefly, since he had mentioned it to her. More specifically, the scene she had stopped it on was from the Firefly movie, Serenity.

”I am a leaf on the wind.” Were the words on the screen, one of the main character's last words in the movie. James could feel a moment of sadness well up in him. He really liked Wash's character.

The pixie grinned and took a sip innocently. ”I have no idea what you could be implying.” She waved her hand, making the screen disappear, turning to watch the dungeon entrance with James.

It was the third real world day in DCO, meaning players would be starting their 15th day worth of game time. The first week, obviously, took them some getting used to. The last log in, they had seemed to have started to figure out their game plans. This third day, James knew they were going to be sinking easily into their routines. That was the glory of games in immersion, it was so easy to slide into them, and adapt them as real life. It was why there was a limit on the amount of immersion you could partake in. Often times, people wouldn't leave otherwise.

James pulled up his profile, choosing to give it a once over, just before the adventurers logged in. He liked knowing exactly what he was going in with each day, so that he could gauge his own progress.
