I knock on the door. No one answers. I wait a while. I check out Doktor Urmind's character sheet.
Doktor Urmind. Doktor Urmind's house. Doktor Urmind isn't in the house.
I open up the door and walk in. I haven't actually been in many houses. Just my player's actually. There's a large room in front with chairs and low tables. No pictures on the walls. My player had pictures on the walls. I wander through the house. There are a lot of rooms. I find a room with a bed. There's a kitchen. Food preparation here works pretty much like other sorts of crafting. I haven't found anything interesting yet. Walking down one hallway I do finally find some pictures on the wall. They're all pictures of me and Doktor Urmind. They're numbered one through six. I only remember the place in the last one. I guess I really do have some memory problems since I don't remember being with Doktor Urmind in the other places.
Oh, this room is interesting. Books, lots of books. Big brown leather chairs. Tables covered with books. There's a place for mixing drinks is against one wall. There are a lot of bottles over there. The room is huge.
What am I doing here?
Where's Doktor Urmind?
I'm feeling lost. This would be fun if Doktor Urmind was showing me around his house. I don't know if my player is ok. Kithera said something about getting in touch with me. She doesn't know to contact me as Doktor Urmind.
Is Doktor Urmind ok?
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
Wait... Urmind sent that letter mentioning that he knows about Kithera and Zach and that they know about him. I didn't see Trixey in his friend list. Hmm.
This is confusing!
Now how do I get the teleport thing to work. I start messing with the superuser menu. I tried the teleport to Hashi, but that just moved me a few feet. I think it targets me. After five menus and two help screens later, I figure out how to teleport to the inn. Hurray for mystical gestures.
And,,,
I'm in front of the inn. I see my player and Trixey nearby.
I tell them, "Hey, you two. Can we talk somewhere, um, private."
My player says, "Have you heard from Hashi?"
Trixey tells my player, "Strange thing for you to say, Hashi. Where to Doktor?"
I start fumbling with the teleport menu again. I target [Hashi] and [Trixey] and take us back to Doktor Urmind's House.
"Follow me, please." I head into the house and head back to the library.
My player asks, "What's with the cloak and dagger business?"
I reply, "It's actually a black leather duster." Once in the library, I turn to look at them.
"I'm Hashi, and Doktor Urmind is missing." I sit down in one of the chairs and wait for the questions.
My player and Trixey stand motionless for a bit and start into their idle animations. I guess they are talking to each other in RWO. They start moving eventually.
Trixey asks, "So, you are the Hashi that visited RWO. And you are logged in as Doktor Urmind. Is that right?"
"Yes."
My player says, "That must be weird for you. Can you tell us what happened after you were disconnected from the dojo?"
I tell them, "Have a seat, and I'll tell you." And I do (except for the part about the superuser menu).
