Chapter 3 - System

"What... Is this?" The valkyrie is clearly confused. "Is this... My skills, expressed into words? Is such a thing really possible?"

She mentally calls for the window to appear once more, but this time, it looks... Different.

Skill

Scavenging

Level 24

Assists in manual gathering of natural resources.

Rank 2 - Will find natural resources more easily.

While she's staring at the message, the chemist bothers her. "...Scavenging, I'm guessing? What level?" "24. It says it has a... Rank 2 bonus?" Lav thinks this over for a moment. "Mine's 14 and I don't have that. Something for level 20, maybe?" She's taking this surprisingly well, considering. Kara makes sure to ask about that. "...You're quite nonchalant about this. Is this something commonplace in your world, Wisteria?"

"...Hm... Not exactly, but we had stuff that resembles this. Nothing I was ever too interested in, but... Stuff like this was common in our games. Let me try something."

"Stats. Status. Information-"

And as she starts listing random words like a dumbass, a screen appears in front of her face.

Name: Lavender Class: N/A Level: 0 Skills Stats Group 1 - N/A Level: 0 STR: 7 N/A Level: VIT: 14 N/A Level: AGI: 11 N/A Level: DEX: 12 N/A Level: WIS: 8 N/A Level: INT: 20 N/A Level: CHA: 5 N/A Level: HP: 175/ 175 N/A Level: MP: 240/ 240 N/A Level: MP Regen: 10.8 /Minute N/A Level: HP Regen: 10.5 /Minute Arts Group 2 - N/A Level: 0 N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: Expand [ LOCKED ]

Okay. Wow, that's a lot of words. Lavender just draws a blank, seeing the mostly-empty sheet appear in front of her.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

"Hm... Let me try this as well... Information."

Name: Kara Class: N/A Level: 0 Skills Stats Group 1 - N/A Level: 0 STR: 20 N/A Level: VIT: 25 N/A Level: AGI: 20 N/A Level: DEX: 20 N/A Level: WIS: 12 N/A Level: INT: 12 N/A Level: CHA: 12 N/A Level: HP: 350/ 350 N/A Level: MP: 180/ 180 N/A Level: MP Regen: 9.9 /Minute N/A Level: HP Regen: 30.625 /Minute Arts Group 2 - N/A Level: 0 N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: N/A Level: Expand [ LOCKED ]

Kara reels back from the sheer volume of information. "Hey, lemme see!" The chemist looks over to see. "...Looks blurry. Maybe if you..." Kara at least assumes what the chemist means. And the chemist goes silent as it becomes visible to her, at the valkyrie's intent. "...So. If I'm right about this, you could probably snap me in half like a twig." She thinks over that fact for a moment, not sure if she should find it hot, intimidating, or some mix of both. Eventually, the chemist settles on the third. She waves her screen over to Kara experimentally, and it actually moves, allowing the valkyrie to look closer.

"...So, if this is anything to go by, this... 'system' will give us a number corresponding to our existing knowledge once we perform the action... But what does this 'class' part mean? And what are 'arts'?" Lav responds quickly. "We can figure that out later, probably. I'll need a hand setting up our shelter now, so... Mind getting over here again?" Kara gives up on figuring it out for now, and goes over to help.

----------------------------------------

The two look at the finished lean-to, as the sun begins to set.

"...Is this really enough room for two people?"

"Only one way to find out."

The two have a rather uncomfortable night ahead of them.
