As Warwick catches his breath, Macha shows up practically forcing the lamp into his hands.
"Get me out of here now!" Macha frantically yells at him.
"What the hell. Can't you see I'm trying to figure out how to feel guilt right now!"
"No time! Something called an emergency server maintenance is going to end the world in five minutes!"
Warwick spends a moment processing, as the shock grows over his face.
"Demoko come here right now! That's an order!" Warwick yells, before looking back at Macha, "Now give me one good reason to take you with me!"
"I'll give you two more worlds, and won't try to kill you. You can pick them at your leisure."
"Deal!"
They shake, as Demoko gets to him, his eyes look glossed out.
Warwick grabs Demoko, as Macha returns into the lamp, and everything flashes white.
Back at the dorm, Demoko comes to.
"What happ-" Demoko starts to ask, as he starts tripping down the stairs before Warwick catches him and they both tumble down.
"Is everything okay? I'm coming to help!" Someone up the stairs yells as steps can be heard coming closer.
Warwick almost prays, whispering: "please work," before yelling "Return!"
Demoko disappears, as the person sees Warwick laying at the bottom of the stairs.
"Here," the girl from class says, offering a hand to lift him up.
Warwick grabs it, almost with the hand holding the lamp before correcting himself, and she pulls him up.
"Thank you, I'm fine now."
"You're not fine, your arm has gashes like claw marks in it. You need medical attention!" She says, grabbing her phone.
He quickly grabs it.
"Please keep this a secret. I could get in big trouble."
"Okay, at least let me help you into your room."
"That's fine."
She walks him up the stairs and notices his sickle and gathering knife.
"We're not allowed weapons. How did you even get those?" She whispers.
"I'll show you once we're in my room. Otherwise, you won't believe it."
She nods, as he rushes to his computer after getting in.
"BANNED!!!" He yells, falling to his knees.
"Is that the game you play?" She asks, before noticing him crying, "Come on now, it's just a game."
His eyes are moving frantically, as he isn't sure what to even do.
"Seriously, come on. You're hurt!"
In anger, he pulls up the gathering knife article on the Mabinogi wiki, then slams the knife onto the desk.
"That's the same knife. While the color is off, it's the exact same knife. Did you go into the game?"
"Bingo, and I was going to get tons of rare items and gold from my character... I've been playing over ten years, and it's all gone. All the event items, all the money and gems, all my pets and partners, it's all gone."
He turns and grabs an old t-shirt.
"Help me tie this tight," He asks her.
Together they are able to close the would and stop the major bleeding.
"I think I'm in deadly status. Can you shut the door, then promise me you won't scream?"
"Why would I scream?" She asks, closing the door.
"Because effectively a werewolf is going to show up in a second. He's a friend, and a bit drugged, and I don't want to risk losing him."
"Well, the day couldn't get crazier, so I guess."
Warwick stands, facing slightly away from the bed, and yells as quietly as he can, "Summon Demoko!"
Demoko shows up, falling onto the bed on his back.
She gasps, before covering her mouth.
"This keeps happening... Master! Are you hurt!"
"Careful. I don't think I can come back if I die right now, and another scratch will probably kill me."
Demoko freezes in worry.
"Is he real?" She asks.
"Yeah, he's a good friend. He must of accidentally scratched me when we fell."
"I am really sorry master."
"It's okay, you've done nothing wrong. If you could roll to one side with your claws facing the wall though, that would be great."
Demoko rolls over, as Warwick lays down and begins to Rest on the bed.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
"Yes, this is actually a very powerful skill to help with natural healing."
She observes as the wound slowly starts to heal.
"That's impressive."
"Thanks. Can I ask a question without you getting mad?"
"Sure, it's hard to make me mad."
"What is your name?"
"What do you mean what is my name! We've been sitting in class next to each other for 13 weeks!" She yells angerly.
"I'm bad with names! Go easy on me! It's not like we've even hung out together!" Warwick yells back.
"I ask you how you are in every class!"
"I have four cousins I grew up with, and only know the names of three fo them."
She stops for a moment.
"It's Ester. Do you want me to write it down?" She asks, in an awkward calmness.
"I can learn a new name in a day if I try, but that would be nice."
The door opens as they're talking.
