Sitting irritably upon her treasure chest, the slave of the treasure room was rather bored. After the first hour, it had just become so very boring. Also, with her hands chained to the wall to where they would only come down to chest level, the experience was rather uncomfortable.
Eventually however there was a ruckus outside the heavy door to the treasure room, leading her to hope something might happen. At this point, she was rather hoping she would either be rescued, or at least fed, even if either event would likely end up with her being screwed.
It didn't take long for the ruckus outside to pick up pace, and she noticed there were human sounding shouts among the grunts and roars of the monsters. It was obviously a very heated brawl at the very least, though from the changing sounds of the monster grunts, it sounded like the monsters were losing.
Eventually however the sounds of combat died down, the musty treasure room suddenly becoming very quiet.
Then there was a key scrabbling at the lock, raising the distinct possibility that she was about to find out her fate as a sex slave. Would she be the quickie fix of the boss monster guarding her room? The pet of wandering adventurers? Sold off into slavery? Made to work menial jobs?
Slowly, the heavy door creaked open, revealing her fate, the shock actually drawing a disturbingly uncontrolled gasp of surprise from her lips.
Then her normal normal attitude snapped back into place. "Well, took ya long enough Saotome."
Looking at her briefly, the young man went to checking the door frame. "Heya Nabiki."
Checking the room out, Ranma was still quite recognizable, even with the armor and large bloody sword. For a moment, he almost seemed afraid to enter the room, as if one of the treasure chests was going to come alive and attack him. Didn't that dummy know what to do with a treasure room complete with one elven sex-slave? "C'mon Saotome, I'm cold and miserable. Let's get going already."
Shrugging, Ranma stepped into the room, apparently not content to put his sword away just yet. "Well, I'm making sure I know where the traps are. I mean sure they wouldn't bother me, but you might not be that lucky."
Surprised and a little worried, the chained slave attempted to spot any traps in the room. It would be real embarrassing to die from something like that, especially right as the rescue arrived.
Stretching a few kinks out, the young man casually addressed his 'treasure'. "Well, Kasumi said something's wrong with your character, she can't get into contact with ya for some reason. You got any ideas?"
Sighing, Nabiki hoped she wouldn't look foolish for admitting this, but she wanted to get logged out of this game. Staying any longer than she had to risked much worse humiliations. "I don't have a username or password. It said I'd have to reach some level before before I could save and log out, or something to that effect."
Nodding, Ranma stared up at the ceiling for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. Not that Nabiki gave him that much credit of course. "Kasumi says you have to hit your class upgrade level. Since you're a non-combatant, guess that means I'll be sticking with you until then. Kasumi's hoping this will go better now that she's patched the game and applied an expansion pack."
Briefly dismissing the part where she found out she'd be Ranma's sex-slave for the foreseeable future, she instead latched onto the more surprising bit. "Kasumi knows how to work this and do all of that?"
Shrugging, Ranma didn't see what the big deal was, he was just glad Kasumi had known what to do with the weird game. "Yeah, I mean she'd plays video games pretty much everyday. I kinda wish I got more time to play with her, she likes the co-op stuff."
Reminded that this was a game and shelving the other thoughts, Nabiki attempted to check out Ranma's stats and assess him. Just the process of doing that was distracting as her loins heated while she checked the studly warrior out, reminding her of her position.
