"Do you wanna go out sometime?" The policewoman asked.
"Oh! Yeah, sounds great." Will replied.
"Fantastic. Meet me at the station at seven. We can head to that Italian place downtown for dinner." She said.
"I'll see you then!" Will shouted as his new date ran back to her post.
Realizing he had never actually paid attention to the cops in Flotham before, Will took the time to look over
the woman he just agreed to meet later. Of course, this was an MMO, so she was gorgeous. A slender frame and
flat stomach with D cup breasts and a sexy rear that jiggled just right as she ran off combined with beautiful
red hair, this girl was amazing. Once she was out of sight and Will was able to stop himself from drooling, he
realized that he had no clothes appropriate to wear on a date, or money to pay for it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a few hours and one robbery of some guy walking out of the Ralph Lauren store, Will was standing outside
the Flotham police station. It looked awful. The walls were riddled with bullet holes, some of the windows
were smashed out, there was graffiti everywhere, and the sign out front now read:'____ham Pol__e.' When it was
just a game, such a scene would have filled the villain aligned player with pride. His side was able to do
this, to show those heroes who's boss. Now that he saw it in person, it made Will feel awful. From now on, he
would stick to PVP, no innocent NPCs to ruin the lives of that way. At 7:15, Will's date came out of the
station wearing a sinfully tight black dress.
"You look great." Will said.
"Thanks, you do too. Sorry I ran off earlier, we didn't even have a chance to introduce ourselves. I'm
Loveysnark." She said.
Shockingly enough, Will had heard that name before. It came from a certain name generator's 'Mushy Insults'
filter. Apparently, TransformaZone didn't bother coming up with actual names for the cops around here. It made
sense when Will thought about it. Besides him, who would ever concern themselves with the actual identity of
the cannon fodder police?
"My name's Will, it's nice to meet you." Will said.
Loveysnark giggled. "It's nice to meet you too. We should get going. The dinner rush has probably calmed down
by now."
The couple walked a couple of blocks down to the right zone, and found their destination pretty quickly. Of
course, this being Flotham, they weren't going to a normal Italian place. No, they were going to the mafia's
favorite Italian place.
"Isn't this place a little... dangerous?" Will asked as they waited for the Maitre 'D to find them an open
table.
"I guess, but the bread sticks are totally worth it." Loveysnark replied.
As the pair had dinner, Will found himself distracted. He tried to follow the conversation and eat his spaghetti, but there was always a thought at the back of his mind. This woman, this beautiful, charming woman,
is going to die. Some asshole was going to end up shooting her in the head for a quest. At a certain point, he
knew he needed to tell her. So, after they had both finished dinner, Will prepared to do what he knew he had
to.
"Loveysnark, there's something I need to tell you." He said.
"Oh God, this never ends well." Loveysnark said, already bracing herself for whatever Will was about to say.
"Alright, it's kind of complicated, and I'm not sure how to really describe it, but I'll do my best." Will
said. Then he told her everything. Well, everything except the part where she aided and abetted, but she
didn't really need to know that part yet. It took a long time, but Will finally got to the point where he
thought he had accurately described what was going on. Loveysnark was speechless.
"That's... wow." She said.
"I know it's a lot to take in, but you have to believe me." Will said.
"So why are you telling me all this?" Loveysnark asked.
"Because I don't want you to die. If I win, which I have to now, I'll use my wish to take you back with me and
make it so no low level creep can gut you just because he needs some XP." Will replied.
"But what about everyone else?" She asked, looking around at the nameless NPCs wandering about.
"Don't worry. Unless you know a superhero, villain, or member of groups that help those directly, everyone you
care about should be safe. You can't kill people who aren't against you." Will said.
"And since I'm a cop, I can be killed?" Loveysnark asked.
"There are quests that encourage it. That's why I have to win and get you out of here." Will said.
"OK. How about this? If you can take me to your world, I'll believe you. If not, I'll be forced to think
you're a psycho. Either way, thanks for dinner, it was great. And if you really aren't crazy," Loveysnark said
as she wrapped Will in a tight hug, "thank you. Thank you so much."
With that, the girl of Will's dreams left for the night. Will had to win now. He couldn't let it end like
this. He couldn't let her just die.
