finish up our other business here first.”
    Rhea’s blush deepened. “But... Those outfits will be so... lacking in fabric.”
    “So? I don’t exactly leave a lot to the imagination normally.” said Ero with a small grin.
    “Scott...? Do I have to do this?” asked Rhea.
    He laughed then pulled her over for a warm hug. “Why ask me if you have to do it? I don’t own you. Besides that, I’ve already seen you in the best swimsuit ever.”
    Her blush deepened and her face began to burn. “T-this is true.... Hey, wait!” she said with excitement.
    Rhea pointed at an ignored section of the posting. “Male and female models welcome for separate competitions and events.”
    She turned to Scott and a bright gleam appeared in her eyes, followed by a slightly goofy and lecherous grin. “I’ll do it, if you do it.”
    Scott shrugged. “Sure, though I bet you have a better chance of winning than I do.”
    Ero laughed cutely then fluttered up to her BFF’s face. “No, you can win!”
    “You think so?” asked Scott.
    Ero nodded and then Rhea spoke up. “You do remember what happened on the beach right?”
    “Well, true... But I recall most of the focus was on you and Ero.” said Scott.
    Rhea laughed a little then shook her head. “Don’t sell yourself so short. You shine and sparkle a bit if you go fish-man.”
    “Are you saying that girls like shiny things, Rhea?” asked Scott.
    “Sure, especially if they can wear them on their ring finger.” she replied sweetly. The high elf raised her hand and made a rather obvious gesture.
    Scott smiled lightly at her then took her hand and patted it. “I’m sure they do.”
    She pouted at him cutely then snorted. “Well... Fine.”
    “Yes, yes you are.” Scott leaned in and kissed her lightly on the nose.
    She blushed once more, slightly, and then sighed. “Stop doing things that make me want to forgive you.”
    “You can do things to me that make me want to forgive you, Scott.” said Ero.
    Rhea rolled her eyes then scooped up the cute little fairy. “Allow me.”
    Ero’s whole body turned a light shade of pink when Rhea kissed her gently on the tummy. “Wow! I’d forgive anything right about now.”
    Scott blinked at the strange little scene then shook his head. It was good to see them get along, but he had begun to wonder if they were getting along a little too well. Time with the mermaids might have had a special sort of effect on their relationship that was just... great.
    The trio giggled and laughed for a while then accepted numerous quests. It would actually be pointless to speak to anyone about a writ of meritorious service until they had done at least one significant thing for the country. They would find it easier to negotiate such an event if they had a few completed quests under their belt.
    Scott had asked Rhea earlier if she had done any quests in the area, but she had not really focused on questing. Rhea was an avatar that Origin used when she wanted to murder hapless animals in the wilderness as a stress release exercise. She had performed few quests other than ones that helped her find specialty equipment. Scott had to accept the fact that nothing was ever too easy. If she had actually already had a writ then none of this would be necessary.

    Shara sighed lightly at the monitor. She had to choose a backstory, stats, and skills for her avatar. Her community service project could not begin properly until she did so. The skills and stats were simple enough to choose from. The problem was not related to the system and the alpha-testing she would have to perform. No, the issue was that the red-haired goddess could not decide what she wished to do in regards to the world-setting and backstory.
    “I guess I could be an American, like Scott.” Shara smiled gently then sighed a little after she thought of him. She had developed a huge crush on the man over the years, but she knew that it was not really love. If anything her desire to be with him
