Chapter 171: Rina Brine Sanious

SKY Ocean Hunter decides to log them log off for the day they have just run through many trials and he is feeling mentally drained. Also spending so much time away from Athena doesn’t sit well with him so he is even more determined to meet up with Athena. He wants to understand why she feels the way she does. She is an important relationship in his life and it affects his decision making. Something that has bothered him since the trials started was the fact he is keeping track of them. Rina Brine Sanious would never allow herself to be monitored like that while she is still on trial. ‘You can’t run from Athena by thinking about Rina Brine Sanious,’ thinks John baptist popping out of the biobed. 

the complex that Raul had built for I’m has several houses attached by archways to a large central complex. This allows them all to be both communal and alone. Athena is actually playing the central bipods, so jumps into the shower of course he already signalled her. She has set up all kinds of ways for them to send secret communication with one another. A blue gem is a sing that he wants to meet. 

John-Baptists’ body has always been naturally fit and strong and a surprising feature of the biobed is the one per cent exercise bleed through. Canto’s Industries is only allowed the one per cent variable as no tech is one hundred per cent safe. John-Baptist has noticed how he looks a bit fitter an almost two months in-game. He wears a short cotton shirt and plain blue jeans making his way to the kitchen. He has always been good in the kitchen and decides to prepare a nice pot Jambalaya. 

He starts as he has been taught grabbing all the ingredients he needs he preps them first this is also to allow Athena time to arrive she usually likes watching cooking. With a simple voice command, he puts on something she would like, “Kelpa please play Yuu gotta have culture playlist.” In reality, Athena doesn’t listen to music but she made sure to take certain songs that she hears from John-Baptist and put them on a playlist. He is a talented cook the meal prep is seamless and is done within seven minutes. 

He grabs a beer from the fridge and mixes a little in this batter waiting for it to thicken nicely. John-Baptist goes over to start everything making sure to check the time she is running late but he has to start since he will need to go back in-game. By the time he is done, he makes calls directly to Athena’s biopod. The call falls directly to voicemail after one ring. He should be pissed he loves her and this isn’t such a big deal that he will try to hold it over her head. John though knows her well enough to realize what she is doing and he is willing to wait for fo her as always but at some point soon she will have to meet his effort halfway at least. He covers her plate of food and eats his meal alone reading some of the stats of the day about the guild and the corporation they set to manage all the external stuff. The court case which is of primary interest to him still hasn’t really moved as Baron Inc is delaying a lot. 

John-Baptist says to himself while melting into the Biobed, “It’s fine really, let see what happens tomorrow?” After a short loading time, a body bumps into him causing him to swim backwards in the ocean. Calypso spirals around him her scales brushing up against him. He joins her swimming abut as each of the pod returns and join in the fun. The Pod ball flashes a rainbow of joy they each missed each other Gorgons are more physical than most and after starting the practice they all find great comfort in it. Plus the release of endorphins from the practice is an added benefit. 

Calypso flashes for one of the others to take the lead, they are heading towards a city made of coral. There will definitely be Isekal there as that is why they are here. The swim is relaxing and a chance to catch up. 

SmittenKitten69 signs, “He still won’t tell me but I’m going him a few days more or I promise you we will break up.”

BABYMAKERXCREAM signs, “I told you those second lifers are no good sex maniacs or those pedo vampire hunter types.” 

X2CU signs, “wait what girl you must be lying she landed a real second life.” IT was already a thing for people to become hyper invested in games-like Galactica Citizens but when VRMMORPG’s came out second lifers also appeared. 

BABYMAKERXCREAM gins, “you damn right two live in one body and everything. Shame to you should see them together.” 

  Magmaheart signs, “That’s nice and but you’ll promised no real-world stuff.” SKY Ocean Hunter also flashes bright agreement and Swims closer to Magmaheart. 

SmittenKitten69 sings, “That’s how to start too, no real-life stuff in-game.” She is flashing all kinds of humour she isn’t mocking Magmaheart rather her two lives having boyfriend. 

SKY Ocean hunter signs, “We came here to relax guys, being a second lifer is all bad. Maybe you should also explore your SmittenKitten69 and see how he likes it. ” Of course Athena is on his mind and he wonders if he will take his own advice. She has him wrapped around her finger but he doesn’t mind that she is the first woman he felt comfortable enough to be completely open with. In many ways being with Athena is the most wonderful thing to ever happen to him and he also knows that she is the most difficult person but that makes it all the more worth it.

SmittenKitten69 signs, “I don’t know maybe if you make yourself available I will think about it.” the entire pod flashes agreement they think he is attractive and keeps him in high regard this is especially true for calypso who is still hasn’t explained she followed him here from another game. 

Calypso signs, “She right! You know that you are an ideal man but still, I would wait until I’m sure I have lost completely.” She has already decided to speak up more and now that SmittenKitten69 had opened that door she would lose out on this chance. 

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, “I’m flattered really but it is hard enough having one life and girlfriend for me. I will stick to what I’m good at. Wait doesn’t that mean all of you’re waiting for me??” His ego flashes a prideful and rare lavender, to everyone fully understands what it means as pride is usually a high falutin yellow.

McQueen signs, “Fuck no! A woman has needs and this world has many different ways to fill all of the cavities of the soul. I’m still short a few species before I can even pick a favourite.” Magmaheart might be the one blushing but most of them have taken a night or three to explore the fruits of the opposite sex. 

A smoother than venom body appears before them, The pale sickly Isekal are with her. She swims towards the new as soon as they arrived. She flashed greetings before she realised it was the Sunken House primer of the Drowned, True descendants of the Moon, one of the those with made the mistake to question her about the new arrivals only to lose his head. More blood filling the already bloody waters around her. Those with her pulse fear and awe they have never been around someone so powerful. 

SKY Ocean Hunter flashes rage and lets Hakagure take the lead while SmittenKitten is right behind her. Again his pod like before quickly picks up on his mood as he sees her. Rina Brine Sanious is standing there with a long blade in her hand. A sickly Isekal floating headless but what is behind her is even more shocking as it is one of the priests of the order with his guts hanging out. He is still alive and everyone wonders how she got her hands on one of the trial guardians. However, seeing as she hasn’t been kicked out yet SKY Ocean Hunter infers she did what she does best. 

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, “I see you haven’t changed much.” She looks physically different but that empty look in her eyes is still the same.” her pods is unnatural to him they express any emotion and are unnatural stiff for sea creatures who sometimes spend their whole lives moving even in their sleep. 

Rina Brine Sanious signs in Oshea, “Ska’a Konier Ymira is agreeable to be in your somewhat dim presence again.” She works at translating her thoughts into words which is limited in Oshea, it is a language centred around body language and gesturing that are simply beyond them to understand. 

SKY Ocean Hunter flashes a wave of bright anger, the way she called in the traditional style of Oshea he found out weeks later is like an insult. This indirect way insult is why she is so difficult to manage as one never really knows her angle. 

Hakagure signs, ” Ragagrd Bich Sloot “She also knows Oshea. Which Surprises SKY Ocean hunter. Rina Brine Sanious looks at Hakagure licking her blade.

Rina Brine Sanious signs, “Go on ahead we will meet you inside. Don’t die before I remove those hands of yours.” The threat hits home while SKY OCena Hunter doesn’t understand the nuance of it Hakagure leaves her own gesture in the form of pee in the water. Several Isekal swims into hit-making sure to take in her scent. 

Rina Brine Sanious turns back without waiting for a retort from SKY Ocean Hunter, driving her blade into the priest and signs, “Tell me where it is and promise you you will die quickly. Try me and I will feed to yourself.”
