角色故事•三(解鎖條件:角色等級60)
「玲寶玲寶,你到了嗎?」女孩的手機傳來一聲清脆的提示音。
玲可見消息來自那熟悉的頭像,也不急着回復,只是對着鏡頭呵氣,胡亂用結滿冰碴的手套抹了抹。
鏡頭狀況良好。她舉起手機,取景框中是貝洛伯格壁外難得一見的晴朗夜空——無風、無雪、無雲,唯有如黑絲絨帷幔般綴着燦爛星光的遼闊天幕。
咔嚓。然後,發送。
信號似乎不太好。空氣在高空凝滯。雪地與夜色默不作聲。不多時,叮咚叮咚,又一陣鈴音響起——原來是女孩剛剛完成的手稿:山峰,夜幕,星空。
玲可微笑,將鏡頭對準正在微風中如呼吸般起伏的營帳,再次按下快門。咔嚓,發送。
叮咚。屏幕那端很快又有了響應。這次似乎是女孩的工作枱,手稿與畫筆散亂在昏暗的光線中。
咔嚓。露營椅和玲可最愛的絨毯。
叮咚。一杯溫吞的牛奶。
咔嚓。蒸騰着暖意的紅茶。
叮咚。一盞鐵藝枱燈,以及女孩鍾愛的畫冊。
咔嚓。溫暖的睡袋。
叮咚。凌亂的被窩。
咔嚓。山頂眺望貝洛伯格所見的金色波浪。
叮咚。公寓窗外微光翕動的行政區街道。
咔嚓。
最後的是那乍現於夜空、躍動不已的璀璨極光。
叮咚。
一枚可愛的表情隨之而來——玲可知道,女孩表達羨慕時就會發送它。
於是,她也從圖庫中精心挑選作為回應——
「這樣就足夠了。」她們心照不宣。
Character Story: Part III
• Unlocked at Character Level 60
"Lynxy? You there yet?" The girl's phone chimed a sharp sound from an incoming message.
Lynx sees the message coming from a familiar profile picture and is in no hurry to respond. Rather, she releases a steam-laden breath at the camera lens and carelessly uses her frost-coated gloves to rub at the device.
The camera remains perfectly operable. She lifts her phone and captures the night sky — clear, cloudless, and almost never seen within the walls of Belobog. Without wind nor snow nor stratocumulus to deny her gaze, only the dark velvet of the void stand companion to the scintillating canopy made up of shimmering stars.
Click... and sent.
The signal isn't very good. The air congeals with the ascension of altitude. Snow and night make silent bedfellows. Not long after, the sound of clicking is followed by a series of rings. It turns out the girl just finished her manuscript: the summit, the night, the stars.
Lynx smirks and points her lens at her tent, its shape inflating like a lung filling with breath. Again, she pressed down and snapped her shots. Click. Send.
Ding. The screen soon lights up again. This time, what is displayed is a woman's workbench, schematics and utensils strewn beneath the darkness of dimmed lights.
Click. Camping chairs and Lynx's favorite velvet blanket.
Ding. A glass of tepid milk.
Click. A cup of black tea steaming with warmth.
Ding. An iron table lamp and a girl's favorite picture album.
Click. A warm sleeping bag.
Ding. Disheveled bedding.
Click. A mountain top view towards Belobog, gazing upon the golden waves.
Ding. The shimmering streets of the Administrative District outside an apartment window.
Click.
Last was the resplendent aurora lights dancing in night sky in a sudden instant.
Ding.
A cute sticker follows. Lynx knows that girl only sends this one when she expresses envy.
So, she carefully makes a selection from her photos as a response...
"This will be good enough." They have tacit understanding of each other.
