The Mysterious Knight
A red coil wrapped around their arm, akira dashed from corner to corner, going around the entire building. They looked around for a moment before their eyes settled on an avatar standing on the west side of the building. Leaning against the wall, the avatar, an R6 and Robloxian 2.0 user wearing a knight's helmet, a top hat, and a vampire's suit, immediately eased off the wall as soon as akira came close. "What?" the avatar said.
Akira opened their mouth, then closed it before skate-boarding away.
Knitting his brows, the avatar returned against the wall. "What's up with them?"
As akira rolled along the streets, they sighted many houses, each bearing a distinct color palette and interior that they glimpsed through the windows.
Once they nestled inside their home on the bathroom toilet seat, their fingers flickered softly in the contained air. Outside, the spring morning light poured through their windows and warmed the living room floor, peeking below the closed bathroom door. Inside, toes caught the sun slit, glinting against the darkness of the room, the installments, and akira's own whitely dressed figure.
As the door loomed bluishly in their gaze, their breath wafted out in a breeze, perching on the cool, white, ceramic-tiled floor.
The skin of their arms rested smoothly against their torso, as relief surged through their body. A smile bloomed.
The street outside hummed at first, before waving back and forth. Soon, people fluttered through the streets and cars zoomed to and fro. Chat bubbles and name tags were appearing briefly through the walls.
Akira later stood up, caressing the door as they opened and shut it tight, striding toward the front door and entering the outside world.
The street in front of them flowed only with the tail end of the wind that the passersby had carried along. Being all alone, akira followed it down a few turns.
For a moment, the streets and town widened up to infinity, a looming ghost of everything that had taken place here.
But they finally reached the school, passing through the green double doors. In front of them thronged uniforms upon uniforms. Students were rollicking and bantering in the hallway, beside an avatar of the creator of the game, Cindering.
Right before akira could simply stand on the side and listen to the voice chat, their eyes flashed past the crowd. Behind it strolled the avatar she had met earlier. Wearing a knight helmet, he turned side to side before standing in front of the wall for minutes.
Akira narrowed their eyes, and as the students went upstairs for the coming class, akira stayed.
The avatar eventually moved again, but he merely ambled toward the gymnasium.
Akira peeked through the window in the gymnasium door.
The avatar kept missing his shots. He would pick up the ball and shoot over the board, have it fall back to him by having it bounce against the board, or have it fall along the sides.
A certain expression crept into akira's face.
