Gold falling to ash in your hands

argent stared up at the big wall at the edge of the steppes. There was only one way in, probably because of the stupid event going in. Dr. Bonga's research, or something. Who really cared.

All argent knew was that Angel was too much a damn coward to head in, and he sure as shit wasn't. "Let's go, lizard," He said, and stepped through.

Mistra really wasn't as scary as Angel had made it seem. A field. A path. The sky wasn't even too cloudy. He moved to walk forwards, and found he couldn't. It was like his legs were locked up, or- or something. He looked down at them- His legs looked fine, and there was nothing there, so why-

argent glanced over as a pair of trainers came up the path behind him, chattering amongst themselves. "Hey-" He called, and they... ignored him. "HEY! What the fuck?"

Another trainer came up behind him, and didn't so much as have the decency to step around, slamming hard into his shoulder. argent hissed, and glared- and they had the audacity to glare back.

[1. General - Mistra] appleorchard: ?? it's not that hard to get trainer stars lol

argent squinted at the ui. Was that it? The trainer stars? Sure enough, he could move backwards- and, around in a half-foot box. But not further.

Well. That was something he could fix quickly. He flipped down to the shop tab, scrolling past the nonsense. Username changes, appearance change tokens. Bingo.

A Trainer Star Pass. One star, a free title, and a randomized legendary dna, two stars, three free titles, and a chosen legendary dna, or all three stars, five free titles, and a legendary egg. Two hundred bucks well spent. He flicked to the three star option, and tapped the purchase button.

Which- vanished under his finger. And then the three star option altogether. And then the other two. And then the name change, and the tokens, and then the shop as a whole. Just-

Gone.

His eyes flicked over where the ui had been, and argent let out a feral hiss. Well, fucking whatever. He didn't need some stupid paid package. He could get through this on his own.
