02 - New Name

Water drips down your face as you desperately search for a pair of socks. Maybe I need to pick up the habit of sorting out an outfit before getting a shower.

It's currently 12:45 P.M. and you're getting ready to search for that wanderer. You keep telling yourself it shouldn't take too long, but what if he isn't at the hotel? What if he's wandering around Port Ormos? That'll make things harder for you.

So, you decided to leave your home early in hopes to find him quicker incase he isn't there.

My bag, my bracelet, my shoes...okay, time to go. You shut the door behind you before quickly leaving your property. It's peaceful where you're located, just by the stream of water that connects to Port Ormos. The only thing that disturbs the quietness is passing boats, but that doesn't bother you too much.

As you approach the town, distant music fills the streets. You crack a small smile. Music always brightens up your mood.

A few minutes of walking later, you enter a wooden lift that leads up to where the hotel buildings are.

Then you scrunch up your face upon seeing the hotel manager working at the counter.

She copies your facial expression. "Oh...(Y/n). What do you need?"

Crazy cat lady. "Hello, Sareh. May I ask where a man, this tall, has purple hair and a horribly attractive smile, is staying at?"

She squints her eyes as she speaks. "Sorry, (Y/n). We can't tell people that kind of information. Safety reasons. Hope you understand!" You're so annoying, (Y/n). Please get lost.

Asshole. "Well, he's my co-worker and I need to speak with him. So, do me a favor and tell me his room number."

Sareh almost explodes after hearing your tone of voice, as if she wasn't the one who started it. You and her have grudges held against each other. Perhaps because she took offence to the time you mumbled 'crazy cat lady.'

"Sorry, I can't. You're probably lying anyways. Have a good day." Sareh then turns around, a smug smile on her face.

"You can't refuse customer service, bitch!" You exclaim while flipping her off.

Sareh swifty turns around, her face boiling with anger. "What did you call me?!"

You stick out your tongue before scurrying off towards one of the hotel buildings. Ignoring Sareh's yelling, you enter the building in search of the wanderer.

Your fist lands on the first door you find. An old man answers after a minute.

"Wrong door, sorry sir." You say before running down the hall.

Then a great idea pops up in your head. You cup your hands around your mouth and shout, "Wanderer!"

A door to your right abruptly opens, a sleepy, annoyed face meeting your shocked one. His hair is messy and his clothes are all twisted.

"Tell me why the fuck you're out here calling for me?" The wanderer sneers.

"Hey..." You grin sheepishly, stepping forwards. The door slams in your face. "Dude, what the hell? Oh come on, you can't be that mad I woke you up. It's freaking one o'clock in the afternoon, you sleepy little shit!"

On the other side of the door, the man struggles not to lash out at you. Instead, he sighs out and leans his back against the door.

"I need to talk to you, so open up."

He rolls his eyes, deciding to comply with your words.

"First of all, goodmorning, co-worker-"

"I'm quitting." The man says before shutting the door in your face again.
