Bab 140: Diving Back In

Astaroth opened his eyes to a familiar cave ceiling.

'It feels good to be back,' he thought, as he got up.

He stretched his body a bit, making sure his character hadn't atrophied. After all, it had spent a week sleeping on that bed.

That thought brought him to another one.

'Do our characters stay visible while we are offline? Or do we disappear?'

Since there weren't any other players here before, he never really knew the answer to that question. But now he had Violette.

He could test out his theory with her help. Which reminded him to contact her.

He wrote a quick message to her, telling her he was back online. Not a second after sending it, he received a reply.

'I'm with Genie, outside the barrier. We are fighting the blood bats. Come join us!'

He chuckled as he read the reply. Violette had taken a liking to his wolf companion, Genie, and the wolf did not seem to be bothered by it.
