Now you're making it sound like it's something not safe for work.

[ What he had in mind was unlocking some special weapons or skills, but oh well. ]

[dapples]

...?

Unsafe for use in work...??

[ LMAO ... someone's never heard that term before! how much is this game going to corrupt him?? (the answer is very!!!) ]

[regressive]

Sexual.

[ You can count on him, Bramb :thumbsup: ]

[dapples]

[ WHAT-- PLEASE EXCUSE HIM AS HIS BRAIN BREAKS FOR A MOMENT ... ]

Oh, my!

[regressive]

Are you okay?

[ It looks like he did some mental damage to Brambles... something he didn't mean to do, actually. ]

[dapples]

--Yep, yep! No! I'm fine! Absolutely great!

[ he clears his throat. ]

I'm just ... always learning new things about the internet, it seems...! [ and himself, in this instance ]

[regressive]

Considering the playerbase here... you will learn a lot.

[ Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing... that's debatable. ]

Especially if you waste your time on the forums.

[dapples]

[ ah, yes. the forums ... ]

I've had a peek in, but I'm not entirely sure I'll be too active ... apart from seeking resources and useful things. Oh, and friendmaking. [ heh. ] There certainly seems to be a lot of troublemakers on there.

[regressive]

They're persistent, too.

[ He sounds three times more tired all of a sudden. ]

If I find out about something useful, I can message you. Not sure if people are going to use forums for resources. They're more interested in shitposting.

[ He'd suggest changing the name to owenposting. ]

[dapples]

[ he giggles! ]

"Shitposting" ... [ that's getting added to his vocabulary. ]

I really appreciate it. I'll do the same for you too. I hope you can rely on me while we go through this experience. Thank you, Punisher. For a guy with a super tough name, you really are lovely.

[regressive]

[ On a second thought, considering that Brambles is somewhat new to the Internet... he's glad he didn't take that literally. ]

You weren't half-bad back in the dungeon.

[ Let's ignore the lovely part simply because that's more convenient. ]

[dapples]

Beginner's luck, I suppose! Though I am going to diligently try to improve. [ Mr. Modesty right here. ]

[regressive]

Give yourself some credit. It's my first MMO after a longer break, but I can tell that you have a knack for this.

[ Believe in brambself...!!! ]

[dapples]

Aw, really...!

[ if he had a dog tail, he would be wagging it-- ]

Thank you! I don't think I'd be half as confident without your encouragement!

[regressive]

You'd get there without me, I did nothing. It's all you.

[ Well, they went in as a team, but!! Joonghyuk will always give credit where it's due. ]

Do you want to kill some mobs together?

[ This is Joonghyuk's equivalent of do you want to hang out, apparently. ]

[dapples]

Well, I'm still grateful for the lovely words. Thank you millions.

[ He just can't stop smiling! ]

I'd love to.

[regressive]

[ What a nerd... at least Joonghyuk doesn't say it out loud. It's time to go to a new area!! He picks the meadows because Brambles mentioned being a florist that one time. ]

Have you visited this area yet?

[dapples]

I haven't! [ he's making a few sounds of 'ooooh'! and 'aaaah!' while surveying the area because omfg, flowers!! sure enough, he's down on his knees, examining them. ]

I know this is just a game, but ... wow. Really makes you feel like you're out in the wild.

[regressive]

[ Mr. Brambles what are you doing on your knees... oh, just examining flowers. Well then. ]

Yeah, it's wild. [ Did he just make a pun? Well, he doesn't even realize it so it doesn't count. ] I'm not sure if beta version will have it, but it would be nice if there were some other jobs that aren't connected to combat. Like florist or chef...

[dapples]

Oh, you're telling me!

[ he hunches down to sniff the flowers that he cradles in his palm. do they smell in this game? ]

I'm a florist in real life. But even though it's my job, I love it so much that it doesn't feel like a job. You know? Like ... I'd still be very content to do it in this game too.

[regressive]

[ Who's stopping flowers from having a nice scent!! Not Yoo Joonghyuk! They should live their best lives. ]

Maybe I should try florist if it becomes a thing.

[ Maybe!!! He's going to think about it. ]

[dapples]

Wha- really?! [ he sits up excitedly! ] I'm pleasantly surprised! With a name like "Punisher" I wouldn't expect to hear an interest in floristry from you, but ... we can't always judge a book by its cover, can we?

I hope you're right, though. I'd love to show you everything I know! It's really relaxing and so fun!

[regressive]

Is Punisher really that bad? It's just a word that's a part of a class name. And I didn't want to use my previous handle.

[ Googling "Supreme King" might get people some hits and that's the last thing he wants. ]

You can start teaching me now. I'll get a head start.

[ They were supposed to kill some mobs, but since Brambles got to his knees already... ]

[dapples]

Ummm ... it kind of has a threatening vibe? Which ... I guess is good for a video game! Having a name like, "Fluffy_Unicorn_Kitty" might make you a target. But "Punisher" is like ... "Ooh, he's gonna punish me!" You know?

[ LOGIC!! ]

Wha, really? [ he glances around. ] It would definitely be easy to make a simple arrangement with these flowers! I just don't know if video game flowers work the same as real life ones. [ come sit with him, punisher!! ]

[regressive]

"Fluffy_Unicorn_Kitty" can be deadly, too.

[ Not that "Punisher" isn't. He's very deadly!! And now his deadly ass plops next to Brambles because he's going to learn something about flowers now. ]

There's something like flower language too, right?
