Episode Five: Plan of Darkness

The two arrive at the second class a few minutes early.

"Good afternoon class. Before we get started, I'd like everyone to pass this week's homework to the front." The professor announces.

Warwick quickly fills out some unfinished questions and passes the paper forward.

"Every week you do that. Why would you pay for the class if you're not going to put in any effort?" The girl next to him whispers.

"One sec," Warwick replies, grabbing some papers from his bag and handing them to her.

Her eyes go big in shock.

"This is simple calculus, I couldn't fail if I tried."

"This is calc 3!" She loudly whispers with surprise.

"The other subjects I have to try at, this is my freebie."

"That's not how this works!"

"Oh, but you are wrong. The only reason you could say that is if you haven't learned the game yet!" Warwick replies in a Khajiit accent.

"You need to stop treating life as a game."

"But then all my cheat codes would go to waste!"

"Are you two about done?" The professor yells.

"Yes, ma'am!" The two say in unison, as the girl hands Warwick back his past homework.

As the class gets rolling, Warwick starts researching paladin armor on the Mabinogi wiki, and wanders off to various other websites.

He opens a stickynote, and starts taking notes on the research.

     Get Aer to give me her note to Gilmore.
     Trade it with Edern for the pass
     Collect plenty of Mithril, and get the Blacksmith Manual
     Gain Undead Scourge skill
     Collect Blacksilver Ingots and Nightmare Fuels
     Collect Ebony Ingots and Daedra Hearts
     Combine Mithril and Nightmare Fuel
     Combine Ebony and Nightmare Fuel
     Craft armor at the Skyforge
     Get Hircine to bless it.
     Go through Ciar Dungeon like normal

By the time he finishes his notes, the class is over.

"Did you even pay attention, or were you just doing your gaming stuff?" The girl asks.

"I heard a little, I'll figure it out as I go."

"I give up!" She yells as she storms off.

"What's her problem?" Warwick asks himself as he packs up.

He rushes to catch up with his roommate before he leaves.

"Hey, can you help me out with something?"

"What is it?"

"I need to deliver something to someone on my game, and won't be available to do so IRL."

"Not a chance!"

"I'll pay for delivery dinner for this coming week. Wherever you want to order from!"

His roommate gulps at the opportunity. "What do you need me to do?"

"I'll have the computer set up for this. Someone will come by and say a password. At that time, you just drag some stuff from the inventory to the ground. It's like moving desktop items, but with different icons."

"Sounds simple enough, I'm in."

"Great! Meet me at our dorms after lunch, and I'll set everything up and show you how to do it."

"Real quick, where are you getting this money from, because if this is on the food card, you won't have enough for the semester."

"Student loan refunds."

His roommate's eyes open wide. "You have to pay those back, you know that right?"

"That's future me's problem, It'll be fine!"

"As long as no one is starving from it. I'll meet you after lunch."

"Great! See ya then!"

They both go their separate ways, as Warwick heads to the dorm room.
