(Abdul castle, floor 8, 1:42 A.M., 04/18/26)
Lisbeth: Bed please.
Dois: Alright, I'll take the couch, night Liz.
Lisbeth: Night Dois.
(Dois turns off the lights and gets on the couch)
Lisbeth: Hey Dois?
Dois: Yeah?
Lisbeth: You remind me of someone in SAO long ago, I was wondering if the player I remember is you?
Dois: I don't think so, I don't remember anything about you then today.
Lisbeth: Alright, night Dois.
Dois: Night Liz.
Dois voice: If only she knew that I am lying. I remember her before she changed her hair.

(Floor 42, Lothrim, shopping district, 10/30/23)
Dois: I'll take 8 healing potions.
Female merchant: That will be 12,000 col.
Dois: Here you go.
(Dois hands over the col and the potions enter his menu)
Dois: Thank you.
Female merchant: Please come again.
(Dois walks away from the shop)
Dois: Alrighty all stock up, now, let me see how my skills are...
(Dois opens his skill tree)
Dois: Alright, just a little more until I finally can learn katana mastery skill, but I still need a kantana though. Where can I find one?
(Lothrin, Plaza district, 1:32 P.M.)
Dois: I really don't have a blacksmith skill, so I should find a blacksmith, but where...
(bang, bang, bang)
Dois: I think I found one.
(Dois rush to sound of banging metal and found a shop called Lisbeth's smith shop, a small, portable shop next to a big a grand oak tree)
???: Thanks Liz.
Lisbeth: No problem.
Dois: Mmm, what's this?
(Dois hides behind a barrel)
???: Hey Lis, ever thinking about an image change.
Lis: Um... I'm not really accustomed to things like that...
???: We need to! Your childish face and those rustic clothes don't go together at all. Leave it to me!
(The female player opens her menu)
???: These clothes are super cute, huh? And a ribbon here...
Dois: Geez what is this a blacksmith shop or a dressing room.
Lisbeth: How does it look?
???: It looks nice on you Lis, but something is missing...
Lisbeth: What?
???: Don't know but maybe dye your hair pink, it might suite you. Sorry, I have to get moving, another boss raid starting soon.
Lisbeth: Alright see ya Asuna.
Asuna: Bye Liz.
(Asuna runs to the teleport plaza)
Lisbeth: (Deep breath)
(Lisbeth walks into her tent)
Dois: What's wrong with her?
(Dois gets a message)
Dois: Now what?
(Dois opens his messages)
To: Dois
From: Klein
Hey brother, are you going to train today or not?
To:Klein
From: Dois
Sorry, have something important, be back tomorrow.
To: Dois
From: Klein
Alright, if it's about a chick, don't scare her off like last time.
To: Klein
From: Dois
First, you scared her off, second, bye.
Dois: Alright now...
(Dois moves away from his hiding place and walks to Lisbeth's tent)
Lisbeth: (deep breath)... What am I going to do?
(Dois stays still, a few feet away from the tent)
Lisbeth: It's getting harder and harder to improve people's weapons and amour, I was lucky to improve Asuna's weapon. I'm running out of supply's and col... I wish my old friends are still here...
Dois mind: Man, I was going to ask Lisbeth if she can make me a katana for a cheap price, but now, I feel sad now. I think I can help her.
(Dois opens his menu)
Dois mind: Where is it... ah, here it is, and it says that it needs a additional player and the reward is ore and a weapons, but first let me she want to do it first.
(Dois walks to the tent)
Dois: Hello is there anyone here?
Lisbeth: Who are you?
Dois: A player that needs assistance from a blacksmith.
Lisbeth: What is it?
Dois: I was wondering if you can make me katakana, if that's alright?
Lisbeth: I could, but I don't have materials for it.
Dois: Is that so, we'll do you want to accompany me with a quest? The reward is a lot of ore, and weapons.
Lisbeth: Sure, but...
Dois: But?
Lisbeth: But why are helping me? Why not ask someone you know?
Dois: Well I'm already here, am I not. Also none of my friends are blacksmiths so, you want to come?
Lisbeth: Sure, let me pack up first. Also what's your name?
Dois: The name is Dios.
Lisbeth: Nice to meet you, I'm Liz.
Dois: The pleasure mine.
(Lisbeth packs up her small shop and walk with Dois to the teleport gate)
