If you read my first blog, “Random Contest” I mention breifly the player Lustful. Recently I’ve been wanting to post our story of meetin online here at MMOtales, but as we discussed out first meeting, I realized that I didn’t quite remember the story as well as she did, but we couldn’t remember everything hahaha. I’ll write the story some other time inbetween writting that Dueling Guide for 2nd Jobs. Ah, none the less meeting Lustful has forever changed me.

It all started in the year of 2006, in the summer time while we were out from school and I had not a care in the world and just played games all day and did very little outside activities. You know, the usual summer. But it was one day that I logged into FlyFF. I was nearing level 50 on my acrobat and wanted to get arrow rain so much. I couldnt take the wait however and decided to start my blue name quest and headed S4. I had already gotten the kill 50 monster quest and just needed to kill someone to finish the other half. I did that, and as I was blinking to jail, someone decided to fall from the sky and tell me to wait. Shortly after chatting to me, she declared her love to me. Her name was Lustful, and she was declaring her love to me. I questioned her integrity right away, asking why she could say such words. She couldn’t answer to me. Out of the sky came another person, who already had a light blue name. He took me down, chased Lustful who blink pooled away before I noticed. She came back on her broom and was sad that I was felled in battle. I asked her to wait for me while i went to jail to clear my name. She agreed and I left. One long period of killing 50 basques one by one, I fly back to the spot…and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

There she was: “Lustful” sitting where I had asked her to stay. I asked why she waited, she replied because I told her to. I kept pressing her harder on the subject of why she said those words to me and even waited for maybe an hour doing nothing perhaps. She boarded up, with my hands acting on their own I did the same. She flew off and I gave chase. We landed a little bit north of the Dorimas (sea horses, that drop poporam, lvl 14) where there was a house with a telescope sticking out. I approached her and asked for forgiveness for being so rude…and explained that I had recently broken up with my friend (who I am still friends with) and couldn’t quite take those words at the moment. We continued to talk about our lives as we sat on the mountain side and watched over the little view we had. Her dad is in the service, and was sent to Iraq. She was worried she would never see him again. I told her she had nothing to worry, because if hes the father of someone whos smart enough to be always alert and dodge a deadly attack from the sky, he had to be smart too. I was just trying to cheer her up and everything, because I thought, “Sure this can be some old guy/girl/predetor….but what if this really is a girl who is just looking for a friend to talk to? I couldn’t forgive myself if I just left someone who was reaching out to just a stranger.” She walked next to me and we sat on the cliff and continued to watch over the mountain edge.

It was after a while it got to a point where she was always saying sorry. Sorry for bothering me, sorry that I had broken up with my friend, sorry that she was always saying sorry. I told her that if she said sorry one more time, I would kiss her. A few sentences later I said sorry for being so rude. Then it appeared on screen:

*kiss*

I though about what to do next…

“*kiss*”

I changed my stance from sitting to standing and backed away slowly. It was about midnight when I felt that I had grown too close to someone I have never even seen. I started to say my goodbye. She asked to add me as a friend. I accepted. I used Fast Walker then Dark Illusion and ran off. I shouted to her to sleep well and logged off. Tomorrow would be another day.

The good times went on from then, for about a week. I played and stayed up way late with her, finding out she was 4 hours behind me, so when it was 2 o’clock in the morning for me, it was only 8 o’clock pm for her. This made things hard, but definitely more fun…in its own way. And in that same own way, there was this strange light that just shone on me whenever I talked to her. I couldn’t get enough of it. Like a plant to the sun, I felt really blue when I didn’t have a chance to talk to her…

But then school came around for me…and I just left FlyFF.

With out so much as a good bye to anybody, I just quit. I haven’t touched FlyFF until December of 2006, during winterbreak. I decided to come back and play because my friends dragged me back into it. Guess who saw me one day…and hadn’t forgotten about me? Guess who still remembered what happened one year ago after I left without saying good bye? Guess who played everyday for one whole month before giving up, looking for me? If you say my brother, your a fool. Lustful came back into my world, after I had forgotten her, after I just left everything, after I had grown so much in that one year. It was incredible…

A few days of playing with each other again during the winter break, me staying up all night with her again, it became like it was before. We talked about our problems, we did stupid things, laughed, and just enjoyed eachothers company. But the same fire that lived a long time ago had relit inside me. That strange light came back and it was a warmth I haven’t felt in the longest of times. To feel the same warmth again, even after so long, and after what I have done, it felt nice.

It was on a Sunday, on S4, that we were just sitting around and talking to the people always itching for a fight near the Flaris Lodelight. While Lustful was still only two levels higher in two years, shes grown a lot more in skill in pk. Shes actually the biggest impact on me that caused me to study so much to learn to duel and pk in S4 so much. We we’re having a conversation when she said she had to log for a moment because of her mom. She left me alone with three other guys that we had been talking with. They asked right away: “So, do you like her?”

I thought about it…and as I admitted it, I jumped around in my panic, because I just confessed my feelings for her out loud. The first time, but surely not the last. She came back on and we quickly changed the subject. Instantly however, I declared that I would confess to her how I felt. She was being her usual self, funny, energetic, and the classic flirty self I knew her to be. But she was attacked by a BP. Having a blue name, I didn’t hesitate to fire off my arrows in her defence. I failed as she died. We we’re angry that a BP would harass a lone level 47 mage, even if she had negative karma. He appologized and ressurected Lustful. In my remose I said to her that I failed to protect her. I walked slowly away toward the Lawolfs, on the edge of the cliff. I was going to jump, and she knew that too. She Blink pooled infront of me, saying “Stop zetto!” I kept my slow walking constant, saying “why bother? I failed to protect someone I care about! just try and stop me!” I neared the edge…and she suddenly threw a strong wind combo at me. I stopped walking. I sat and laughed. I had forgotten how smart she was. The BP, and the other guys had followed us and sat and were eating a bucket of popcorn as me and Lustful had our conversation. She was embaressed and didn’t want to talk infront of them, but I didn’t care, I wanted them to know how I felt…which three of them already did. She asked why I wanted to jump off, and I answered because I couldn’t protect her. She asked again what that I meant by that. I walked away a distance, turned around to face her, and shouted, “I mean I like you!” Our four person audeince went wild, screaming comments along the lines: “This is so much better than TV” and “*sniff* Pass me a napkin please.”

Her character walked closer to mine, and said “I like you too…”

The crowd again lost control.

I kissed her. (*kiss*)

The spectators went silent. All was quiet…untill she kissed me back. We decided to dissappear from them, and meet at our old spot. We talked a litte bit more…and decided to date. We still are today ^_^.

I was blushing in reality then, and even a little bit now as I retell it to my memory, but don’t you think I’m a little TOO CORNY? TOO LAME? If so, post it on the comment. Maybe I can convince her to join this site and we can annoy the whole mmotales community. Sorry everyone ^_^;.
