It wasn't often that Miyuki wandered into the more dangerous places of her home Server without backup, but all of her preferred party members were offline last time she checked, so she'd set off into the frozen Western Expanse to explore alone. She probably didn't have enough supplies to get too far, considering the wolves that roamed the forest beyond the river in packs, but that was fine. She was just killing time anyway.

Miyuki was especially vigilant as she neared the wide Western River. On one of her trips earlier this week, she ended up saving a party of lower-leveled players from a monstrous bear that had chased them all the way from the trees to the water, and she didn't care to get caught in a battle on it again.
Fighting on the ice had gone about as well as expected--sometimes the slipping around aided in dodging attacks, but the lack of control generally just made things worse. If she'd been some sort of class with a long-range attack, that'd be one thing, but Miyuki was a Paladin and thus required to be within stabbing distance of an enemy instead of safely sniping from the shore like the Black Mage that had been present. Somehow they had all survived, but still. The experience wasn't one she wanted to participate in a second time.
