《Golden Serenity》8

True to what our parents had planned, we had lunch together at SM Clark, and guess whose car am I on? Yes, Chancellor. The reason is dahil nga kailangan pa daw lumayo I needed to accompany Chance on the way sa SM.
Nasa may SCTEX na kami and currently awkward dahil walang nag sasalita, kung hindi lang siguro nag patugtog tong si Chance mabibingin na siguro ako sa sobrang tahimik.
"Aurelie, how's your weekend?"pambasag niya sa katahimikan.
"Good, we went to our foundation yesterday." Diko parin siya tinignan, naka tingin lang ako sa labas.
"How's your first week sa school? Was it fun? Tiring?" I know na he's trying his best to have a conversation, kaya I'll talk na lang rin.
"It was still fine, maybe a bit tiring." I don't even know what to describe my first week.
"So our parents know each other huh?" He asked.
"Yes, mukha nga. Maybe business partners or friends talaga." I'm kinda curious too kung ano ba talaga sila.
"Can I ask something?" Ano naman kaya yun?
"Nagtatanong kana. But yeah fire away." He chuckled when he heard my answer. "Can we be friends? Like close friends?"
I don't know what to say. He's the student council president and he wants to be friends with me?
"If you don't want today, then I'll try again until you'll be ready." There he goes with trying again. This guys doesn't seem to know when to give up.
The whole drive to SM was quiet again. We finally arrived, our parents texted us to meet at a restaurant. We got off Chancellor's car and walked towards Ikabud, and by the way I'm still wearing heels and our couple colored outfits.
Some people were starring at us, as we walk. Chance is behind me, I don't know why he's behind me tho. When we arrived they were already seated.
Chancellor sat beside his mom, and I sat beside my mom. We're both facing each other.
"So honey hows the ride?" Mom asked me.
"It was good, Chancellor was a smooth driver." Well true naman, he's not overspeeding and stuffs.
"Great, how was my daughter Chance?" Bakit mo tinatanong yan mommy? May ginagawa bakong masama.
"She's great, quiet but she still talked." Syempre diba nagtatanong ka.
We ate na as soon as the orders came. Bago kami kumain, the parentals asked the waiter to take a picture of us. Hindi ako comfortable sa pagkain because Chance keeps looking at me whenever I eat.
"Eat more Aurelie." Chance said, napatingin tuloy ang parents namin saakin.
I just smiled at them, they went back to eating and I glared at Chancellor. I can eat more dude, if you are not staring at me.
After that long lunch, our parents decide to shop for some things. Our parents decided na maghiwa hiwalay kami. Sila vs kami ni Chance. Mag enjoy muna daw kami sa company ng isa't isa.

"You okay, hindi kapa ba nangangalay sa heels mo?" Tanong niya habang naglalakad kami.
"Not really, sanay naman ako." I can wear higher inches and walk for hours. "So where to? You want to stop for things?"
"Maybe later, ikaw saan mo gusto?" Siya na muna, mamaya nako.
"Okay then, will you help me shop for clothes?" Okay sounds good, plus mens clothes are easy to style.
We when uniqlo, he said he's looking for both formal and casual clothes. He got a few items and showed it to me if it's good. Some of the items where good so I approved.
He went to the cashier to pay for it, and I just roomed around here until I saw a cute dress. I wanted to buy it, it's yellow and dainty. I was looking at it, when Chance showed up at my side.
"Gusto mo? Why don't you buy it. It would look good on you." Yeah it would, but I didn't buy it.
"Let's just go sa Daiso, I'm gonna look for some stuffs." Gusto kong tumingin ng pens and a few organizers.
"You go ahead, I'll just need to get something." I just shrugged and pumunta na, since magkaharap lang naman sila di hassle.
This for me is my stress reliever, stationaries, organizers, and cute stuffs. I went right away sa mga ballpens and got a few ones. I was roaming around Daiso when Chancellor came.
He was just following me around and sometimes stopping to look at things. I would sometimes look at him and admire his looks and outfit. He really looks good today.
After a few minutes we went to the cashier to pay for my stuffs, I only got like 5 pens and 3 organizers. Chancellor also bought a few stuffs, like a small pillow, and a cute stuff toy for his little sister daw.
When we went out of daiso, we went to H&M we were both looking at clothes kaya medyo nagkakahiwalay din kami. I was just looking for appropriate clothes to wear sa school, and a few maroon tops since yan ang kulay ng college namin.
Luckily I found 7 tops and 2 bottoms. Chance got like two pairs of shirts yun lang. Nakakahiya tuloy baka sabihin niya shopaholic ako, well medyo totoo naman pero I earn my money naman.
We got tired from walking kaya umupo muna kami sa may food court. I wanted to drink buco shake sa nadaan namin kanina, I was about to get up when Chancellor stood.
"You want buco shake? I saw you looking at it kanina. I'll just get our drink, you stay here na lang and bantayin yung mga pinamili." Okay? I guess nag oobserve siya kanina.
Nilabas kuna lang yung phone ko and nag check ng social media. Nag message yung apat sa GC namin kung kamusta daw ba ang weekend. I just opened my camera and sent them a picture of me and the shopping bags.

Zero
Ingat, pabili nung pabango ko. Thanks Au
Keron
Oo nga Au, pabili nung pabango ko rin naubusan nako. Bigay kona lang bayad sa Tuesday. Thank u goldie mwa!!
Nakakainis si Keron! Goldie nananaman. Patulong na lang ako kay Chance mamaya, alam ko naman yung mga pabango nila since ako rin nagbigay noon dati and nagustuhan nila.
Bumalik na si Chancellor dala ang dalawang medium sized na buko shake. Agad naman niyang binigay sakin yung akin. Tahimik lang kaming dalawa nag phone.
"Aurelie, can we take a picture? Ig story ko lang." Mahilig tong mag story, tumango na lang ako and lumapit ng konti.
We both smiled sa camera and took maybe three shots and okay na. After a few minutes ang notify sakin na minention niya ako sa story niya.
Naka caption na 'sunday with the Aurelie ❤.' The picture was nice kaya linagay ko din sa story ko. After that, I closed my phone na.
"Can you help me sa may Department store? I needed to buy perfumes." Tumango naman siya.
We both finished our drinks and walk on our way sa dept store. Pagkarating sa may men's perfume medyo nagtaka siya kung bakit doon siguro ako pumunta.
"Hello, can I get the Aqva Pour Homme?" The salesman was a bit shock, dahil siguro babae ako.
Binigay naman agad niya yung pabango and I went to get Keron's sa may Ralph Lauren. After that, I wen to the cashier and paid.
"Why did you buy that?" Dina siguro niya napigilan magtanong, I was actually waiting for him to ask. Baka kasi pag sinabi ko bigla baka sabihin niya 'share mo lang?'
"It's for my friends, they asked me to get it. Since naubusan na daw sila." Pagkasabi ko noon ay umaliwalas na ang mukha niya.
"This friends, yung kasama mo lagi? The engineering guy and nursing student Keron diba?" Tumango na lang ako.
Umikot ikot na lang kami dito sa SM, nakarating kami kung saan saan. Our parents texted us kanina na nasa salon daw sila nag papa pamper, medyo matatagalan pa daw.
I called Zero while we were walking, kinuha naman ni Chance yung mga paper bags na bitbit ko.
"I got your perfumes na, I can bring it tomorrow since walang pasok." Sa TSU kasi 4 days lang ang pasok namin. May iba na walang Mondays and may iba na walang Fridays.
"Okay, thanks Au. Ingat and enjoy." Binaba kona agad ang tawag.
Kukunin kona sana kay Chance yung mga paper bags pero wag na daw. Nakarating kami sa may Cyberzone, tumingin ako sa may tindahan ng Instax since yung akin nasira kasi dahil nabagsak. I'll also buy the disposable camera.
Matagal na dapat ako bibili pero hindi ako maka punta punta sa SM dahil sa naging busy sa preparation sa school and sa foundation narin. Chancellor was just looking at me.
"Kuya, I'll get the white one, tapos yung frame na grids isa and 3 na plains and one disposable camera." Yung grids muna ang pinalagay ko dun sa Instax.
"Chance lika papicture tayo." Lumapit naman siya and nag smile kaming dalawa, isang wacky and normal.
"Bagay na bagay po kayo ma'am." Napatingin ako kay kuya, ang harot din naman.
Chancellor was just waving the pictures in the air para lumabas. While he was doing that, I paid na and we went outside to go sa salon kung nasan ang mga magulang namin dahil pagod narin kami.
"Can I have the other one?" Tanong niya habang nag lalakad kami.
"Yeah sure, which one?" Kinuha niya yung naka wacky kami. It was cute kaya yun siguro napili niya.
Nakarating na kami sa mga magulang namin, di naman ganun karami bitbit namin kesa kanila. Nag shopping galore ata sila, nahiya kami ni Chance sa mga pinag shopping nila.
We sat down sa may waiting area, I got my phone and nag Ig story. Nag video ako na kuha sina mommy, pati si Chance na nakaupo and nag phone din. I captioned it 'Sunday with the De Silva Family.'
Naghintay lang kami ng ilang minutes and natapos na sila. Nagpunta na kami sa may carpark ang Daddy at Tito Ben nagikot lang kanina sa mga shoe store and relo. Nakabili naman sila and nagpunta na lang kina mommy pagkatapos.
"Aurelie, thank you for today. I had so much fun. Sana ikaw din." Chancellor said, sasabay na kasi ako kina Mommy dahil iba iba na kami ng way less hassle.
"Ako rin Chancellor, thank you for your help." Pagkatapos ay binigay na niya sakin ang mga paper bags and sumakay nako sa kotse.
Pagkauwi ay pagod na pagod ako napahiga sa kama, nag bihis ako at himalos. Pagkatapos ay binuksan na ang mga paper bags at inayos.
May kasamang paper bag na uniqlo, wala naman akong binili doon. Pagkatigin ko ay yung dress na yellow kanina. May note sa loob.
'Why didn't you buy it? It would look really great on you. Hoping to see you wear this dress. This is my thank you gift for helping me pick out clothes. Thank you again, Aurelie. See you. Love, Chancellor."
Love, Lara...

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
