Having heard of a traveling cook from various players, Katoka had never outright sought out the location itself. She did hope that maybe one day she would stumble upon it in her travels. Today had apparently been that day. Even though she had heard about this shop she was still surprised to find it in the middle of nowhere on the first floor. Having just finished looking in the area for some crafting materials for her alchemy stock she pushed through a few bushes and into a clearing. Taking a moment to collect herself she stepped forward and ordered a couple of things she thought she migh

*SNAP* The entire crowd focused in Freyd's fingers, as fully anticipated and desired. It gave Persi precisely the opening she required. Having snuck into the crowd while the pirates were busy cornering their elusive prey, Freyd placed her as a trump card immediately after Katoka shish-kebabbed his tawny coat with her katana. Racing between a forest of hairy legs and pantaloons, the little shadow mongoose wormed her way up Ulric's leg to a combination of great surprise and consternation. "What the... GAH!" Most mobs panicked at the feel of inky shadows darting up their underpa

Katoka watched as what seemed like the never ending pirates parted, allowing a man with dark brown hair and an eyepatch to casually walk between them all and stop a few paces away from the group. Aside from the wind, the hurried sounds of Ryland trying to get the skiff started seemed to dominate the now silent dock. A grin spread across the man's face as he eyed Freyd and Katoka, "My my, it's been a while has it not?" Ulric crooned as he drew his sword, "What do you say we have another go?" Kat's eyes widened, "He remembers you? I thought they couldn't do that?" Ulric shifted his stance a

There was no downtime between when Ciela landed her strike and Wulfrin unleashing his follow up. The once crimson light around his pommel transitioned to the cerulean blue of Horizontal Square. Four consecutive strikes lashed into the boss's hide then dispersed a holographic square parallel with the ground. The boss was perfectly lined up to fall in the next volley of attacks from the duo. Despite the handicap the system was giving the monster, it failed to edit their HP and Energy reserves, meaning that the battle was already well in the bag before it even started. There was little left for t

In rapid succession Katoka loosed two more arrows, each one sending shock waves through the air as they punched their way into the disgusting monsters that seemed to never stop spawning. Electricity once again lashed out of the wounds, jumping back and forth between the two like a shocking game of hot potato. A dark liquid oozed from the holes left from her arrows that made the ground underneath them hiss and boil. Kat tugged on the reigns of her steed as she changed her course, stopping near her allies and following their gaze. "What's up?" she asked as her eyes stopped on Freyd, or what

Wulfrin had led the pair through the forest and into a large clearing. Ciela had already begun to hear the boss music playing in her head before the boss even appeared, she knew what was about to happen. Her first floor boss. She'd come a long way since the beginning of their journey. Yes, she was getting kneecapped by the system. But she wasn't too worried about it. Their stats were high enough before being kneecapped that no matter what this wouldn't be a challenging fight. The large plant had human teeth and lips, she shuddered as it emerged. It reminded her of some kind of man-eating

"That takes dedication." Adelyte chimed in to Wulfrin's journey through the desert in search of Solaris the phoenix. "But it looks like it was worth it in the end." her eyes followed the bird as it circled in the air above them, its feathers looking like roaring flames as the sun's light hit them. "As for this one.." Adelyte would step a bit closer towards Nymoria and Musei, slowly and cautiously. Lowering herself down to a flat footed squat, hands on the knees, she would smile at the adorable creature, "Sounds almost like it was meant to be." After admiring the weasel for a moment long

Watching as dizzying motion whirled around the lumbering undead mob, Freyd's HUD spawned its own secondary layer, as if the machine mind within himself could further deconstruct each element and action. Vectors and trajectories played out a projected potential, each analyzed and countered a dozen times over even as his limbs and torso took corresponding action. He'd always been good with numbers, coolly calculating even under the most dire circumstances and blithely setting aside any emotional influence. The Whisper's fury was dire by the utter cold and ruthlessness of its nature, and the p

"The Phoenix is Solaris," Wulfrin said as his familiar took to the sky once again. "He's gotten a lot more friendly. Back when we met he was kind of a pompous jerk. He watched me, judging every move I made, while I fought for my literal life." Wulfrin thought back to that day in the desert of Floor 5. Abdullah was still the only NPC Wulfrin had encountered that seemed to have some sort of memory algorithm. Even Zackariah, who until recently always asked Wulfrin how his search for Dorian's loan, seemed to no longer acknowledge him when he brought in newbies. That was likely due to the fact

Smiling and listening attentively as she recounted her day's activities, something glimmered silently at her from behind the blueness in his eyes. His cowl sat loosely resting upon his shoulders, the shield it represented equally lowered in a rare and deliberate moment of vulnerable exposure. Only with her. No one else had ever truly reached so deep into his core, nor convinced him that there was someone in there worth finding... and rescuing. Could that be the magic that had led them here, together? Reflections glanced his way in the nearby window. She is my opposite, staring back at m

A spike of surprised was immediately lapsed by the exhale of relief. "Oh -- hi, Freyd", greeted Elora as her far-too elusive partner materialized from the shadows beside them. I always forget he can do that... "Yeah, it's going -- well?", the response had broken off with unmeditated second-guessing. "I got all my stuff unpacked, now I'm just trying to figure out what to do about this.", she gestured vaguely to everything around them. The undeveloped greenspace served as a scapegoat for, or perhaps more uncomfortably, a visual representation of, her own insecurities. Sure, living at the Humming

Wulfrin was already in motion. After seeing Freyd get absolutely thrown around by The Forgotten Time King, Wulfrin had chosen action. He became a blur of crimson streaking towards his foe with tremendous speed. He blade shined with the brilliant light of a sword art. The combination of hits, each with their own powerful force behind them, collided with FTK. As the combo came to a close, a short crisp whistle could be heard echoing through the chamber. The phoenix Solaris, already a streak of flames orbiting the throne room changed target and flew directly toward FTK. Solaris keen to provide a

Ciela was more than slightly baffled when Freyd stated that the king's name was Bob. "Is that just a nickname for him or is that actually his name? If that's legitimately his name that is really funny." Ciela responded to the message sent by Nymoria, "I'll try. Wulfrin is our second best bet for actually doing damage to the king." Ciela dashed toward the forgotten king. Activating her sword art at just the right moment as she laid her blow into him like a very small knife cutting through a very large very thick stick of butter. She knew he wouldn't take much damage due to her low dam

Tossed aside by Henry's sudden, unexpected vigor, Foyle stumbled backwards crashing into the table and chairs. While the other two tussled, he struggled his way through a prison of jumbled, collapsed furniture to regain footing too late to be of any help. Morningstar had already done what was necessary. The strain of it showed on the younger man's face even as their host disintegrated before them both. "Be careful," he caution, still hoarse from having his wind knocked out. "The worm might still survive him, just as it did previous possessions." Grabbing a nearby lantern, he shone it

Confirmation, and deflection. Tactics that Nymoria knew better than she would like to admit to, but she also knew better than to comment on it. Instead, she let the flow of conversation shift towards that of their familiars. Her eyes shifting between the two as they began talking about the two familiars that she and Wulfrin had found. She smiled and nodded at the comments directed towards her and Musei, before tilting her head at the questions posed by Adelyte. This little friend is named Musei (Voiceless). I named him because of the way that he can't speak properly. As if to confirm Ny

She stared at the man as he corrected her assumption, the words registering slowly as he stated that he'd be willing to continue the questline with her. His flurry of commentary afterwards were, for better or for worse, mostly lost on Nymoria as she tried to come to terms with the fact that she wasn't being immediately turned away. She followed along, as he suggested leaving, barely aware of the trip out of the cavern itself. Her thoughts were a mess, and as she entered into the sunlight, she found herself squinting in surprise. I guess we're out now. Thank you, for your help. Most people

As NIGHT paused and blinked mid bite, Koga's look of confusion increased by an equal magnitude of that which NIGHT now displayed. At first, the man thought he'd asked a stupid question, but her answer relieved him of that concern. Only for a moment though, until she indeed asked why he'd thought that. "I dunno," the man admitted. "You said something about no fear of getting your ass-kicked by a boss, just figured that meant you don't end up as nothin' more than stardust. I take it then that there's just no bosses?" Which would really be the only remaining option, unless there was some other se

Peering through the shadowed bowels of a nearby potted fern, the notion that he was somehow invading the thing’s privacy, or hers, never even occurred to him. Neither did the fact that ferns had no bowels, but they did have shadows, and that was all he really required. It should have felt odd, he knew, gazing beyond sight in such ways; like standing on the far side of the looking glass to catch glimpses of this world from another. Yet, it never had. Like Takeshi in Simmone’s famed mirror, life felt more natural when viewed from such perspectives. Hrm. Pondering why was never fru

Adelyte hummed a prolonged "Hmm~" as she rose to her feet and looked around the glade. Zachariah said he needed flowers, herbs, and the like.. and usually plants like that were decently easy to come by. So why weren't they in abundance everywhere she looked. She puffed out her cheeks for a moment, before letting the air slowly let out like a balloon. This might take a bit.. "No luck yet." she called back to Wulfrin, "but I only just started." Peeking over her shoulder, she saw that the two other players sat next to each other by the lake's shore. Another two accompanied them, a fiery

A sequence of softly-heralded alerts tumbled through his interface as Nymoria signed their titles to him. For a brief moment, he felt overwhelmed, or perhaps it was the pangs of exasperation. Are we meant to do all of these at once?, he grumbled as each menu was expanded to skim the details. Looks like you can do them as you wish., the female player had speculated, Maybe...together? Salem looked up from the text to regard her as she had finished posing the question. Unless you do not want to do it with me. I would understand. You must have other friends here to find., she quickly deferred

"You're asking me!?" Freyd managed, half-joking and half-incredulous, too busy dodging an assortment of pilfered blades to pick either one in whole. "What the heck would I know about skyships?" "Ryland," he snapped, interrupting the Dockmaster's next idiotic retort before it could even leave his lips. "Get your ass in that raft and make it ready to save all of our collective cheeks. I can keep them off you for another few seconds." When dust and fractals alike finally settled, Freyd reset his stance in readiness for the next wave... which didn't come. Crowding around them like a

"Nah it's cool," He said with a sigh. "I've had my fair share of bullies growing up, so I tend to try and stand up before it goes too far, be it for myself or others. I won't lie, sometimes it just ends up making the situation worse. Sorry if I came off a bit harsh to the both of you." He prepared his line for a second round of casting. He saw no reason to linger on the subjects. He had said what was on his mind and to him that was enough. Was he maybe a bit harsh? Yeah, probably. If there was one thing he still needed to figure out, it was how to correctly express his dislike of situatio
