I had had a bit too much of sex today. I politely told her that I wasn't interested at the moment. She sighed in disappointment as she continued drying me off. She was just as gentle and thorough as before. "I hope you change your mind soon" she whispered in my ear before she walked away. It was very nice and I would definitely use their services again. The other patrons were not as reserved and I saw two dogkin young men compete for her attention. I still had to find Suzie. She was going to show the ropes for combat. I was also planning on spending some quality time with her as well. I got my things together and left the inn. It was called "The Watering Hole". "It is a really good place to stay" I mused out loud. From there, I went to the center of town and wandered around looking for her. I knew what she looked like from the pictures she had sent me and she said she was an elf. I had no clue where she would be.
Not planning it out beforehand made me want to kick myself. She had to be around somewhere. All I had to do was look harder in the city. Since I knew that she was a rouge, I decided to go to the eastern quadrant. She was waiting at the entrance to the quadrant. There was a post that she was leaning on. I went up to her and she looked me up and down as she stood up straight. "Suzie, it's me. David. You look really great" I said. Suzie's eyes widened. She looked impressed as she walked around me and came back to look at my face. "You were pretty bold with your choice" she said. I nodded and she shrugged. "Let's go. There is a plain near the forest. It's a good spawning zone for monsters. The monsters there are low level so you can grind and level up". I followed her and asked if she noticed how the NPCs could be racist. She shrugged and said "I have pointy ears, but I can cover them with a hood. I can take on low tier mobs".
That was probably true. Suzie was not one to take things lying down. If she had been grinding and doing as many quests as she had been telling me, she was probably stronger that most of the townspeople. Being a rogue in the city was already a pretty antisocial class anyway. She asked if I had a license for entering the city. I shook my head. Suzie smiled and said "Well, you need one to get in and out of the city. Entering the city is a secret quest to weed out uncreative or lazy players. If you can get in, you can become a citizen. You just have to wait in line at the citizen registry office. It shouldn't take too long. Players get to advance in line". That was the first place we went. Like Suzie said, it was easy to get my papers. The citizenship cost just 15 lin. It was a deceptively good price. It was low enough price that a starting player could decide to commit to Epic City with their stipend of 100. It is high enough that NPCs would not be able to move to new towns easily.
