Mari

Soon to be late husband... The words hung heavy in the air. A tension. Not between the two lovers, but of the reality that came with them. "If we get out of here...." Mari said quietly, a hand on Lancasters chest. "Lets do just that, make the man's life a living hell. Lets take all that he has, all I ask is I be there when he closes his eyes the final time. I want him to know I was there to watch him breathe his last breath." Mari knew the weight of her words, of his. A death outside Aincrad was far more different than within the confines of the game. So much unknown, unspoken for. T

Something definitely burned within Mari was she watched the two dance - how Lancaster smiled for the other woman, that same half goofy-half cocky grin that was supposed to be hers, and hers alone. The way his hands wrapped around her waist - the devilishly amused glint in his eyes. The two complimented each other so well. Fire and Ice. Red and blue entwined amongst each other, Mari snorted. Like kindling. She was doing her best to allow him his fun, far be it for her to grow too jealous - and yet somehow... Mari was struggling. This was good for him. Really good. Vincent needed to unwind. He n

Somehow, it was nicer than having it on the 4th floor, having it on the seventh was so very....Oscar. The snowy terrain of the 4th would have been easy - but the man didn't do easy. He demanded perfection. Satisfaction. More here Mari wasn't really one for Christmas festivities.... the last time she joined one was shortly before her incarceration - she was left abandoned, crying in the snow from a man who had once claimed to love her only to have told her they were naught but false platitudes. A simple desire to build a snowman turned into a painful memory. The painful memory turned int

KobaltBlue screamed, more in fear than in agony - every time his health dipped to red he’d beg her to stop. It wasn’t till Jomei held the last crystal in his hand, that Mari did. Heaving, shaking, body trembling…When was the last time she lost control like that? She had almost… A long and shuddered breath. “Last chance.” KobaltBlue sang, words spilling from trembling lips quick, so fast that Mari struggled to fully understand. “S-Severed Song…Its - I am part of the Severed Song! A small group based on the 10th floor. We just established ourselves.” He continued, talk

“Y- You know him?” Mari reached for the cup of hot chocolate she had placed beside her.. After the tense interactions earlier, she needed something stronger, so stood and picked up the whiskey that sat on the mantle above the fire, pouring it straight from the decanter to the small cup Mari sighed. “Yeah. That's why I allowed you into my house in the first place.” A pause as she glanced outside, her windows rattled lightly, battered by the winds. “Mostly. You’d probably be dead if you stayed out there. Considering you don’t seem to know how to use teleport crystals.” A slightly accusator

Mari laughed under her breath at Eulogy’s antics as he made a little explosion with his mouth, accentuating the gesture with his hands - mimicking an explosion. It reminded her of someone.. “Whoever is telling you to steer clear of this stuff is an idiot.” Her smile faded, Freyd. Her brother. Hadn’t seen much of him lately. He was the one to tell her to reign it in. So to speak. Didn’t like her meddling in such things, teetering on a fine line, an edge. Damned if she did, damned if she didn’t. “Hmm…” Not an idiot - but perhaps seeing the world in too much of a black and white? The ma

“I thought you were naive - then - perhaps forgiving. Not mentioning or barely even glancing at what’s above my head. But it seems you have no idea.” Mari rose her halberd that little bit higher. She didn’t want to, but if this woman was anything like Addex then she was a direct danger to her home. Her husband, and everything Mari held dear. How many times had Mari been tricked by someone crying? How many times had she invited someone into her home under the pretense of safety only for them to betray her? How many times would Mari let her compassion get the better of her? Shed no tears fo

Familiar Obtainment Thread: HERE Familiar Name: Malcanthet Familiar Description: An unassuming cute amber coloured slime hat accents ones excitement and turns it into strength. When it opens its eyes, they blaze a brilliant golden colour as though its insides are on fire. Obtained on the 29th floor this symbiote can attempt to meld with its user, wrapping itself around a body to strengthen an attack or blow. Unbothered by most anything, although it doesn't seem to like the cold. Can be used as a garbage disposal as it eats anything and everything. (Except Marshmallows) Familiar

Post Action: Return food to Fortune Teller Mari watched as the player skittered off, and she almost followed - almost. She could have reached out and grasped hold of his cape, picking him up like a newborn kitten but she held back. Her heartbeat hard and fast against her chest - and she struggled to keep her composure. Her shoulders rose and fell with erratic breathing. Mari threw her head back and cried out, an inhuman roar that shook the crumbling buildings and docks around her as she tore into her chest, ripping the creature clean off of her. The woman fell to her hands and knees wi

Quest Objective | Successfully tame a Familiar. Post Action | Taming Roll, ID: 256866 LD: 12 + 15= 27 SUCCESS Tiny tendrils of amber, a contrast that did not match the dark floor began to peak their way through the boards. "What the fu-" Mari barely managed to dodge them as one shot out at her, trying to wrap itself around her ankle. That player had seen this? How? Another came up from under the boardwalk and attached itself to her ankle, throwing Mari off kilter - she fell to the floor with a thud. It continued, oozing up and out from under the planks as it bubbled. And Mari couldn't

Quest Objective | Talk to the Traveling Fortune Teller and obtain the Familiar Food from her. A fortune teller with a cart bumped into her; she looked....terrified. "Huh?" Mari recognized her - a quest giver...traveling the floors to hand out familiar food but Mari already - Oh... That's right. Kohaku died during her fight with Addex. Mari didn't really consider getting another familiar. She really had no need to. "Oh... I'm not..." Mari tried to deny the NPC, she wasn't here to find a familiar. What kind of familiar would even be on a floor like this? "Here, please! Take it." She

Aeva made herself at home by the fire, and Mari headed straight toward the open-plan kitchen. Boiling a kettle and preparing hot drinks for the two of them as she listened. It started with us…. “If…only it were that easy…that simple.” Mari said quietly. Unsure if the other woman would hear. Aeva had such an innocent and pure outlook on everything, Mari couldn’t tell if she was frustrated with her, or if she found it refreshing. A glance over her shoulder at the silvery haired woman, who was rubbing her hands together and inching closer to the fire. She even carefully manoeuvred the

“I hardly think it’s against your will. You followed me down here.” A small smirk as she began to wipe down her bunsen burner with a damp cloth. “I ain’t got the time to be making up flashcards. You wanted this knowledge, I’m going out on a limb and giving you bits of information to work from. Something I wouldn’t normally do” Mari had to keep reminding herself she was dealing with a kid, an adult by legal standards, sure - but he was still fresh faced, barely out of High School. “It…really is a hassle, still.” Mari lifted her eyes to stare into his blue eyes, wide with curiosity.

“Surprise me?” Mari asked, and she turned to the girl - who still hadn’t given her name. Mari could….could ask for her name - but she was waiting for the other to give it on her own accord. “I doubt it. Most are predictable - you give them an inch and they take a mile. Show them mercy and they quite literally stab you in the back. I don’t expect help, Your attitude is….sweet but -” A pause, that was just it..her attitude - it wasn’t normal. It was borderline naive, as though she had barely spoken to a single person. Although… if she had stayed in the cities till now it’d make sense. Most

Mari watched as V and Lancaster flirted, how she would pull the cigarette from his mouth and draw on it, pausing - staring him down. It was…more intimate than Mari was expecting, and it mirrored an action Lancaster had done upon their first meeting. This will be the longest I’ll ever have… The memory of a cigarette placed between her lips, and a kiss upon her forehead. As the two grew closer Mari stepped to the side, managing a lean on a nearby table. She had to remind herself that she wanted this. Wanted Lancaster to get closer to other people, the same way she was able to. A lit s

"Oh, now see these-" Mari pointed toward the scouts with the tip of her Halberd, these ones were very similar to the first lot, except their abdomens twisted upwards, walking on four legs, their other two like long twitching arms. "they're evolving. After a few waves they'll even have helmets and hold sticks. Honestly, its kinda predictable after a while." And, as they drew closer Mari simply ran her blade through them with a single lazy swing. "This gets tiring, but I feel like it needs to be done sometimes."

The cold never ending A sentence that unnerved Mari, it made her cling to him tighter. A promise, through body, then through words. “Never again. I’ll ensure you will never feel such a thing again.” He held her close, and Mari soaked up that warmth with her fingers, sprawling them up and under his jacket, removing it. “You have no need to quit. Although…” A pause, unsure if they would leave. “If we ever find ourselves in the real world again, perhaps you cut back - I’d be lost without you with me.” "Jonathan..." The name spoken with absolute disgust. How he h

Mari’s hand trailed down V’s back. Her lips drew close, but not quite touching to her neck. “I admit..I-” A small stumble, a struggle with her drunken motor skills. “I’m glad…I have shomeone like you to dance with.” Then, came Lancaster - not quite as she expected. Rose in his lapel, and hair slicked back- the heavy scent of whiskey permeating from him. Mari snorted as she covered her mouth. Trying not to laugh. This was the all consuming tyrant. This was the man people feared. This absolute dork who looked like he just bathed in a glass of whiskey, who had ripped a rose from its place an
