35: Rulis and Termis

Nu faded into existence and Delta grinned.

“Come on, we need a theme but first...” Delta turned and with some menu navigating two tables appeared at either side of the entrance. Wooden and rather plain but Delta formed two metal dishes on the top of each table.

“Nu, you do that side!” Delta smiled as she made a little signboard.

“Please leave a donation to help me! Thank you - Delta”

It was simple and Delta turned feeling so excited to whip her dungeon in shape and her face froze as Nu’s signboard appear.

“Leave tribute. You should be paying us for putting up with you, to be honest - Nu”

“That’s too rude!” Delta put her hands on her hips and Nu took a second to change the sign.

“Leave Tribute. You really should be paying us for helping you, just being honest, thanks <3 - Nu”

Delta twitched.

“How do you know emojis?” she asked blankly and Nu appeared with a smug orange colour.

“I sound nothing like that!” Delta puffed up her cheeks and Nu faded back to blue.

Nu was so... Delta rubbed her face as her goblins looked in the air as if watching their parents squabble.

“Now, I need to know the rules about chests or challenges,” Delta asked and Nu actually paused.

Nu fizzled a bit and Delta felt her left eye go hazy as the solid matter was replaced by floating numbers, everything connected by important numbers. She closed it as fast as she could, her head already thumping. A spot on Nu had turned bright orange.

Nu returned to full blue and Delta risked open her eye and saw everything as normal again.

“The hell was that?” Delta rubbed her sore head as Nu took a few seconds to open menus and check everything was in order.

Delta nodded and then bit her lip.

“What if you swapped everything you are with everything I am?” she asked quietly and Nu paused. Her eye still had twinges of pain and the spot on Nu still looked slightly purple.

A menu appeared.

Delta felt her face pull back in a large smile.

“Nu, we’re in business.”
