[F19-PP] Of Idiots and Tigers <<Keep Calm and Ki'Raon daytime>>

[Mars 0]

He stares down the quest that is within his hands looking at it with a intense focus upon the item within his hands and frowns softly as he thinks on what would be the smartest move he could do about such a thing. To face a mob that is stronger than him could result in him dying if he faced off against it alone from running out of the energy that is needed for him to succeed especially since he hasn't ordered his gear's improvements for when he hits the tier 3 barrier so he can face off against his partner in improved gear.  'I still need to think about that in general since it could end up failing me from not having the correct enhancements to always be hitting him if need be.' A slight frown in silent contemplation of what would be the best to mix and match what he needs to always be hitting and improving his chances with nothing solid coming to mind as of yet. With a soft sigh he shakes his head keeping to just light armor instead as he opens up his menu and than opening his friends list knowing that he will need to get the only person he knows within this game flat out at points. To help him take down a enemy that they could conquer easily while working together.

@Pinball

I'm in need of some help against a quest mob on floor 19 i'm certain we both can benefit from facing off against it in terms of just getting some loot possibly, and gaining a nice chunk of experience while we're at it.

 

With the message sent he waits by the teleport gate with his familiar at his side as he checks along the belt of his potions he has on hand knowing he could do something more dangerous if he just had the time and a few more buffs to guarantee

It was a pleasant surprise to receive a message from Mars that afternoon. He had been lazing about his shop all morning, too bored to even try doing something that would make him less bored. Pinball's hands flew over his menu interface as he closed his messenger, and frantically gathered his things. This was exactly what he had wanted to do, and of course, he was always eager to put his cards on the table. There was a sense of danger in the air, and a guilty part of Pinball loved it. He made his way through the 8th Floor forest and eventually the settlements, heading slowly but surely to the 19th Floor where he would meet Mars for this quest. On his jog, Pinball popped the cork to one of the potions he had had Mars craft for him, chugging the bitter liquid inside. It wasn't as much as he'd buff himself during a boss raid, but it was definitely going to help; that much he knew. 
Pinball found Mars relatively quickly - the forests weren't terribly easy to navigate, even after living there for so long, so it had taken him the better half of an hour to actually make it to the settlement's teleporter. He grinned as he greeted Mars. "Heyyo," he laughed.

The black haired martial artist waits patiently for his rival to show up as he scrolls through his menu and takes out a few items from his inventory having been informed of the possible danger of this quest from word of mouth as all information is shared between players. Mars taking out a assortment of buffs that he has made that weren't perfects that he is certain nobody would've bought if he had just kept them out for people to try and buy off of him. Taking the contents of every potion he had made along with the one crystal he had made as he smiles ever so slightly to himself as he just nods his head at the temporary stat buffs to himself. Glancing towards the side he spots the spear wielder making his way over to him after ten more minutes of waiting as he just waves towards him as the fire liger by Mars' side just lets out a puff of flame. Evening Pinball you ready to face off against the flower tiger thing that is this quest mob, and yes i know how stupid it sounds but it is much more dangerous than what it sounds like. He says towards his rival just as quickly knowing that in terms of weird monsters the two have faced a flower tiger can be ranked with the best of them in terms of the absurdity of the idea that actually got executed by the Cardinal system.

[Pinball 1]

Pinball had seen Mars drinking a couple of potions before he had stepped off of the teleporter. Well, in that case, he thought, opening his menu, but Mars talked to him first. "Oh. Y-yeah, I'm ready," he said, swiping a searching hand through his inventory. He stopped his scrolling on a safeguard, and, in a flash of blue light materialized the bright blue potion. "Just gotta... drink this." He struggled to pop the cork for a second, but it eventually gave way in a small splash of liquid. Pinball took a deep breath, stepped a bit away from the teleporter, and chugged his drink. He looked back to Mars when he was finished, the bitter aftertaste setting in his mouth. "I'm ready now," he said as the drink faded from his grasp in a small poof of pixels. "We should get going." Pinball hefted his spear into both hands, and then decided better of it and held it loosely in his right. He began to walk, glancing back at Mars to see if he'd actually start leading the way - because Pinball had no idea where he was going.

Mars nods his head towards his rival as he stretches his arms towards the sky as he prepares himself for the quest in question having taken the buffs to feel generally safe while partaking in this quest as he quickly sets off in the direction of the quest at his rival's behest to do so. The martial artist not even asking as he just leads the way having gotten use to Pinball's ideology when it comes to taking quests, and that it will most likely always be him leading the way since his rival, unlike him, doesn't do any homework in preparation for the quest at hand to know what they are going to get themselves into. 'Though that might not be true this time since he did take at least two buffs with him into this quest which means he has to know to be prepared for the enemy ahead...or did he just see me do so and just copied my doing so.' he wonders silently towards himself before focusing once more on just trying to exit the town so they can get out into the wilds where they say the quest mob can spawn quite literally anywhere at points. Only having a general location for where it could be when it comes down to it. So than Pinball what have you been up to since last we had met? he asks his rival just for some simple talk to see if he can try to gain any valuable information about things he could do himself for improvement.

[Pinball 1]

As they walked, Mars popped an interesting question - one he actually had to think about. What had he been doing since they last met? The last time they had fought together had been at that skeleton castle thing, he knew, but after that... 
"What have I done," Pinball echoed, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Well, for starters, I slept." 
And on that abrupt note, Pinball was silent. 
He buried his hands in his jacket pockets. He wore a fluffy white coat, over his tanned and scared leather padding. Under that still he wore a long-sleeved black shirt; he was dressed comfortable, and he was dressed warm - much too warm for this floor, to be sure. The only floor it looked appropriate for during anytime other than Winter was the Fourth, and this was not the fourth. Still, Pinball seemed to rather like it, even pulling it closer around him as the two made their way deeper into the floor. What the hell are we looking for? Pinball glanced at Mars. Just keep looking at him to see if he recognizes anything, and if he does, attack it. 

[Mars 0]

Mars makes his way through the floor at a relaxed pace as he gazes forward as the duo make their way out of the main settlement with rather good time as the day is still around noon by the time they leave the main settlement which opens up to a wide far stretching plains of land. 'Now to find the enemy that we're searching for.' He thinks to himself as he continues making his way forward through the plains that seem to stretch on forever alongside his rival and just glances towards him when he only mentions one thing. You need to be doing more things Pinball or i will just pass by you in levels and then our duel won't be as much fun when we finally reach tier three. He says in a mix of a joking and serious tone of voice towards his rival as he turns back forward in the search for the lion tiger thing as it quickly reveals itself as it spawns in front of them as he blinks at that fact. Huh...i guess it has a certain radius you must be out of town before it spawns if you accept the quest than. He says rather flatly as his theory for this as he just quickly goes onto the offensive not wasting a second in trying to attack.

He lunges straight forward towards the creature with a rather cocky and arrogant smirk on his face as he goes to try and strike the tiger only for it to easily jump to the side avoiding his attack as he stops his momentum to a grinding halt as he stares at the creature. Did...did that thing just dodge my attack. He says sounding rather baffled by such a thing as that has not happened yet for himself at least anytime recently as that fact slowly sinks into his mind.

Pinball watched, fully expecting Mars' first attack to absolutely obliterate the thing - after all, it's what they were used to. It's what they were built to do. They could dish it out all day, but they couldn't take a hit themselves. Kill it before it has the chance to retaliate: the DPS Motto. So it came as a great surprise when the monster, quicker than its body would lead one to believe, managed to dodge out of the way of Mars' punch. Pinball whistled, hefting his spear. "Ohh, boy, it's gonna be one of those," he grumbled. And then he charged. 
The assault that followed really brought to light the reason Pinball was recognized among the frontliners, even if he was one of the newer recruits. Pinball's charge carried him into a leap, and he seemed to hang there - suspended in the air as the sheer force of his merciless attacks seemingly keeping him off the ground. With each and every spear strike that carved a new hole into Ki'Raion's body, a splash of frost coated the wound, and the creature was forced further and further back. Ki'Raion was eventually brought to its knees with a horrible downward stroke of the spear, where it let out a low, guttural whine, as the ice that covered it buried any hope of moving anytime soon. 
Pinball finally landed in the grass with a grunt. He straightened himself, nodding to Mars. Out of reflex he brought his hand to his mouth, and his heart dropped as he realized he was smiling. Pinball scowled, and muttered a few choice words to himself under his breath.

He watches his rival proceed to rush towards the tiger and than proceed to stab it with his spear temporarily freezing it solid and stunning it within the process as his fist tightens ever so slightly at seeing that as he grits his teeth his sword art activating for hsi strongest one. 'Oh there is no way that spear wielder is out showing me today!' he thinks to himself as he sprints forward towards the tiger moving his hand back and slams it against the tiger as a follow up sending it away from him a few feet as he glances towards his rival with a burning determination. Their is never going to be a day where you are going to outshine me Pin. If you're going to freeze it i am punting it across this field of battle. He says with a smirk that is hidden by his combat outfit as he stares down his rival and than gestures for him to go and attack the tiger afterwards. Mars' familiar sending a flamethrower of fire to impact against the tiger to leave a nice singe mark across its body.

Pinball turned to Mars as he rushed the monster, immediately following Pinball's assault. His rival turned to him triumphantly, claiming he'd never outshine him. "Well," he said sheepishly, Zomekko's oozy shadow curling off his spear and wrapping around his torso in a foggy spiral, "I don't think that-" Pinball was interrupted by the ground shaking. His spear clutched in his offhand, Pinball whirled around to see the monster had shaked off its stun... and was charging straight at him. "Oh Jesus!" Pinball struck the butt of his spear into the ground, throwing himself into a backflip as Ki'Raion barreled past. The hostile mob stumbled to a stop, turned, and stomped its legs on the ground. It was looking frustrated. Pinball looked to Mars with a bewildered expression, not quite registering the fact he had thrown himself into a backflip out of reflex. "Stop and smell the roses, they said." Pinball snorted, shaking his head and tugging at his coat. "That was bad."

He looks towards the creature and raises his eyebrows at it and than smirks to himself as he watches Pinball manage to fail the attack and than proceeded to get a good smack to the face for the attack as he quickly charges froward once more and swings his other fist slamming it into the creature as  it skids only a few feet barely being affected that time as he nods his head and quickly backs away rather surprised their is a creature that could take three hits from him and Pinball combined together. Well looks like you'll get the honors of killing it this time Pinball. Don't mess it up. He says jokingly towards his rival and gestures for him to do the killing blow towards the creature as he waits patiently to see the monster killed with surprising ease considering it is a quest mob on the nineteenth floor basically a mob that is meant to test the frontliners seemingly from how close it is to it. 'Either we got lucky or these mobs are actually just week trash mobs that we can take out at any point we feel like it.' He thinks to himself with some idle curiosity.

Pinball threw himself forward, Zomekko's shadowy aura embracing the polearm as Pinball closed the distance between him and the monster in an instant. Its health was practically nothing, and Mars expected him to finish the job. His spear flashed out, sending chunks of ice and globs of shadow out in a spraying arc. Pinball's attack carved holes into the monster, revealing the 3D mesh that lie underneath its imposing form. Cold crept up the creatures legs and tail, eventually completely coating and immoblizing Ki'Raion. Pinball fell back, sending up a cloud of dust as his boots hit the dirt, then threw himself back at the monster, bringing the tip of his spear down across the front of the lion. Ki'Raion didn't even get to make a noise, as parts of its floral mane cracked and fell apart encompassed in chunks of ice. Ki'Raion succumbed to Cold Fervor, and died.

[Mars 0]

he raises an eyebrow at the fact that Pinball managed to freeze the enemy totally solid ending with its death as he looks rather surprised at how quickly the fight ended as he looks towards his rival and smirks slowly but surely as he nods his head towards the spear wielder looking rather confident. Seems like not even frontline quests can stop us now Pinball. Seems we can take on the more difficult quests without any hazard to our health apparently. He says towards the fighter as he walks on over to examine what it has dropped for the duo to take from this quest and nods his head and he splits the reward not knowing of the last hit that had gone to Pinball upon him killing the creature. The black haired martial artist stretches out his arms towards the sky to get back into shape for the next mob that is most likely going to appear soon only because he is within a five feet range of Pinball.

[Pinball 1]

"Apparently," Pinball agreed with a sigh, planting the butt of his spear in the dirt. He leaned into the weapon lazily, thinking. "I really did think that it was gonna be tougher than that," he mused, rubbing his neck. Then, suddenly, he shrugged, stowing his weapon in his inventory with the quick pushing of a few buttons. Pinball adjusted his fur-lined coat, glancing at Mars past the fluffy grey collar. "Well," he asked, shifting in place. "Uhh, do you have anything you want to do now?" There wasn't much of a question about it, but Pinball's tone betrayed the fact he was kind of over it already. The excitement had died down, replacing itself with a dull monotony. If quests were this easy for him, why should he even bother? He knew why. His thoughts momentarily shifted to memories of her before he forced himself back to focus. His hands fidgeted. 

[Mars 0]

He looks towards his rival ever so slightly amused at hearing that while he could agree that he expected the mob to be tougher that by the end of the day it just means that now the two has to test their limits and most likely also their sanity if they want to get out of things alive at this point as he quickly pulls up some files to look through the quests. Okay so we have either the nemeon Lion quest, or we could go for something like one of those floor twenty one, twenty two, or twenty three quests? Whatever you would feel like doing i haven't touched anything from those floors. He says towards the spear wielder as he looks at the man as Mars puts his hands behind his head as he looks directly at Pinball with a slight grin. The martial artists that already have rather big confidence in his own combat capabilities just having that bolstered even higher due to the nature of having beat a supposedly strong quest that might've been out of his league.

[Pinball 1]

Pinball hesitated. After finishing a quest, Pinball and Mars would usually either fish for a while or just call it a day and meet up some other time. Usually. There have been times when they quest hopped, but that was back when they first met - so it was a bit surprising to hear the suggestion coming from Mars after so long - after he had grown used to their shorter expeditions. Well, what can you do? He weighed the options he had been given. "Well, uhh," he started, squinting. "I kinda wasted a safeguard on this quest. It sucks it's gonna wear off soon." 
Pinball winced. That had nothing to do with what he was just asked. "If you feel like doing something stupid," Pinball grinned, "we can do the nemean lions thing."
He didn't tell Mars the real reason he wanted to take it - nor did he tell them the fact that he had already taken the quest once before. He wanted the stupid LA bonus. That bastard Domarus took off with it! The bastard wore heavy armor! Why the hell did he need it?! Pinball had been the only one in their group who had had any use for the thing! Plus, it looked cool. 

[Mars 0]

He nods his head at hearing how Pinball had wasted a safeguard not being that surprised since he had seen the status effects on his allies health that had stated the use of a safeguard. Well it was better safe than sorry at he very least we know what we're capable of. He says  towards his ally before grinning at he mentions of possibly doing something stupid as he shakes his head in a negative manner at such a claim. It can't be stupid if we go into that quest knowing victory will be ours Pinball. He says with a smirk going across his face as he looks towards the two handed assault spear user with confidence practically etched across his face. I guess that means lets go and take down those nemeon lions Pinball. He says in calm confidence towards his fellow DPS as he looks around the area taking in the factor of how much time has passed and how much time it would take to do the quest. lets starts heading back now, or we can go and kill one mob before doing so. offering two options that would be equally beneficial for the duo of DPS.

[Pinball 1]

Well, that was certainly an optimistic way of looking at it. But I can't help but think that this fight only went so smoothly because we got lucky. Mars' cockiness was never lost on Pinball, and for a split second he wanted to argue - but he immediately thought better of it. Why should he argue? He didn't want a repeat of their last disagreement; that had been overly dramatic, and Pinball was more than a bit embarrassed by the way he had acted. He despised himself, but that didn't mean other people needed to know that. Plus, once Mars was set on something, it seemed like he'd follow it through, with or without him. After some brief deliberation, Pinball nodded. "Okay," he finally said, his voice slowly slipping out between clenched teeth. "If you're really sure about this..." Pinball fidgeted. "Then yeah. Let's start heading back." He flipped his spear in his hand, twirling the two-handed staff with his off hand as he swiped through his inventory. "If we see a monster on the way back," Pinball said, his wrist momentarily flashing white blue, "then I'll be ready for it." From his wrist hung the twice wrapped around Gleaming Fish Scale. 

[Mars 0]

He glances towards his partner and nods his head towards the spear user in understanding having a confidence look within his eyes. I'm sure that we can handle ourselves in the nemeon lion we killed this Ki'Raon by ourselves so that means Nemeon can't be as hard since this is on a later floor and was released later. He says towards Pinball with a nod of his head as he continues heading in the direction of main settlement as he looks towards Pinball. based on the time of day lets just go for the quest i don't think we have time for such things like grinding unless you would wish to do so just for the fact that we seemingly always try to do a bit of grinding after a quest.

He walked a good ways into the fields with Mars, the two trinkets that hung from his wrist glittering in the sunlight - though for the most part they were covered by his jacket sleeve, there was a slight chime as the two gem-like items tapped together.

It didn't have any of the fluidity he prided himself in; he was tired, and it showed. Why the Hell am I tired all of the time? It pissed him off. Pinball shook his head, turning to Mars. "I changed my mind. Let's just go to the next floor. Do you have any spare potions or anything?" He didn't really wait for a response. He didn't want to make obvious his spontaneous frustration, so he walked.
