Snippets of Tales (Multifandom)

Meta Runner OCs: TCP

"I'm...new here, actually..." he said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.

"Oh cool! What company do you work for?"

"Um-"

"Hey, is that a Meta Runner?"

More people had spotted him and his arm. They had started crowing around him, asking various questions he couldn't answer. Questions he didn't understand. Maybe he could get them all to back up by simply stating what he needed? Only one way to find out.

"Ah...well, all I need at the moment is a place to stay and people that have the budget to take care of me until I'm off my feet?"

This quieted a few people. Murmurs spread amongst the crowd.

"I don't have the money..."

"Don't have space..."

"I mean, I want to help, but I can't..."

He had to say something. Something else. He didn't want to let these people down, but he didn't want them feeling bad about something they couldn't do either.

"It's okay if you can't help me, I understand. If you can't, then don't. It's perfectly okay."

This cleared most of the crowd. But few people stayed.

"I could help you out!"

"Don't worry! I'm not a top player, so I shouldn't be a problem!"

"You and I could at least be good friends!"

What to do about them...
He looked around, only to see someone approaching him. And two people behind them. He waited until they passed by the crowd, but instead, they pushed THROUGH the crowd. They had heard the commotion and had come over. The girl with the golden/bronze hair in a messy bun spoke.

"I heard you needed help. We can do that."

The people left began whispering.

"Isn't that the girl who has that bond with that one character?"

"What is she doing here?"

"Is that that guy who plays the mon games?"

"Yeah, and the guy who beat the samurai in 43 seconds?"

"How did they know about this?"

He didn't know what to do, really. Might as well answer the question. Actually it was a statement, but still.

"Ah...thanks? Who-"

"Someone from the streets came our direction talking about you. You seem interesting. Thought we'd check you out."

"Oh."

"Anyway, would you like to join or-"

"Sure! I don't really uh...know how this place works though..."

"That's alright, we can teach you" the boy with the backwards cap and pale skin tone said.

"Really? You'd...you'd do that?"

"Of course" the male with the messy hair and fire symbol on his hat said.

"Well then...great! Thanks!"

"Anyway, let's go" the girl said.

And so the group headed back to the home, where lots and lots of gaming things were set up.

"Oh, we haven't introduced ourselves. I'm Tal Doris" the pale skinned one said.

"Collin Deanver" said the male with the fire symbol.

He turned to look at the girl.

"And I'm Tess. Tess Magnus."

She held out her hand to him.

"Welcome to the crew...uh..."

He gently took it and shook it firmly.

"Chris."

"Chris Knight."
