The other player didn’t talk. Mari felt the hairs on the back of her neck stick up- fear? Odd. She hadn’t feared anything in a long time. Not death. Not Prison. Not the blade of another plunged deep into her heart. One hand wrapped tightly around her spear - lest the other player attempt to push her into the river. She wasn’t going to be that easy of a mark. Mari pulled her hand back away from the Stygian River, and silently watched him work. Was he another alchemist? Her eyes shifted to the strange almost steampunk like device as it chugged and turned. Spitting out a small vial fil

The screech of leather would find itself bested, as the machine on his arm stopped being the only thing creating noise. That long beak conveyed an abrupt turn, sharp and ready to pounce. A knife glimmers as it slides out of its right sleeve, finding its sight locked immediately to a sharp contrast of bright orange hair that sprung cleanly from the black. A battle the thing did not want, was not prepared for this time. Yet instead of blades and blood, it instead began to speak... friendly. Yet could be a trick. That notion dismissed the moment the girl chose to disarm herself, and silently Vitr

Floor 10… For such a long time, this place was home to Mari. She revelled in the darkness. Navigating the floor with ease compared to others, at the time being one of the few people who had invested in Night Vision. It bought back some bitter memories. A time where she had made a canocopy of potions and cocktails - ones that dull the senses. Uppers, Downers, ones that drew your deepest desires to light… Why did she do all that again? Did she find some kind of enjoyment from it? …Maybe. Mari did have a fascination with experimenting on and with things. Back then, she had fallen s

The nigh silent outcry of liquid in motion, like rain from a gutter that whispers as it pours. Rough and jagged walls glisten in a bold crimson as the scent of copper fills the air. A facet of a much larger birth, one of malice and decay. The stench, the ripeness, the color. Who in their right mind would ever step foot here? A long bill that protrudes from brackish silhouette, unbothered by the gore or what it stood for. Emerald colored lenses hung just above, a sickly light that broke the void. A small basin to where the river had offered its bounty, a long ragged looking coat opens to reveal

Thoughts danced across the forefront of her mind as she went over the list again, and again. It didn’t seem right. It felt…wrong. Rarely did she see anyone's name topple her own and yet here it was. At least five times that of her own - Mari lost count after the mid thirties. Oscars name carved out in a gentle blue hue - a far cry from the red stains that his hands and cursor must now hold. Taking a life, even just one - permanently scarred someone. Irreparable damage. Even the most hardened of people would struggle with the concept. Should she reach out to him? See if he is okay? Could she ev

Morningstar was positive they could take out another quest boss before days end. According to his notes, part three was located on Floor 10. Admittedly, he had never made it this far. Everything from there on was new to him. In Yomi, he checked his map. The Stygian River was a bit of a walk, but they would have to manage; Floor 10 was notorious for having no modes of transportation besides foot travel. They were trackers, though. Walking was part of the job. "I don't come here much," Morningstar eyed the twin dragons that towered over the front gates. "It's very... grim. I like the s

Mari was getting frustrated - it didn’t seem to matter how much of the overly fruity cocktail she drank - the quest just didn’t seem to end. After the third drink her head buzzed - to the point where even shifting it from left to right seemed to make the world spin just that little bit more. 3 drinks? Mari was never such a light weight before - then again. She supposed the quest drinks may have been that little bit stronger. “-so you’ll want to hold on tight.” Before Mari really had a chance to react to his suggestion she stumbled backward, and there was an instant sting of cold -

Appearing on floor 27 in the calm town of Ronbaru, Sam was starving. She had only been here a few times, some of the factions had amazing mouthwatering food. Glancing around, it was like a ghost town. Empty drawing boards and paper littered the sidewalks. Quickly she paces up to her destination, she was having a huge craving for steak that was filled with a thin layer of potato that was loaded with spices. When she made the request to Freya it was a hard pass, so now she comes to this large town for the crazy food. Her mouth started to water just from thinking about it. Stopping dead in her tr

The streets of Ordsea continued in a peaceful retelling of its own past. The raids long cleared and players had long moved on. Most didn't even come here anymore, finding that the various cities made the floor far too safe to need there direct intervention. There were bigger fish to fry, more rewards to gain elsewhere. The simplicity of its architecture, the relative calm left much to the imagination. What it failed to present outward was deceptive, for inside the walls of the homes that dotted its territory were all manner of convenience and regality. The shelves of stores were stocked to the

When the light had melted away and her ears had stopped ringing, Yue Hua took a moment to pick her jaw off the floor. And realize that the bear had -- somehow -- survived all of that and was clinging to the last of its health. At that point, killing Kumatetsu was a mercy. Yue Hua rushed in and smacked it before Morningstar could have another go. The bear’s collapsed form fragmented and an update from their quest trackers informed the two of the conclusion of their first hunt. “One down!” Yue Hua cheered, returning her sword to its sheath. She fixed her ruffled hair and clothes then

"A great teacher makes an environment that encourages learning." Ciela rattled off something she'd learned from a professor in college. "Positive reinforcement makes for a better learning environment. Negativity doesn't encourage learning." Ciela smiled at Acanthus. PH in case I get the chance to post at work

“You know…that’s probably one of the smartest things you’ve ever said to me.” About to object, Freyd’s lips parted to find no rebuke, no quip, nor sarcastic remark. He had nothing, because she was probably right, and the realization of it had left him flabbergasted. Grabby hands yanked back her two rescued wards, Mari cradling them like they were newborns, save the suckling went the other way around. Actual glee glowed behind her green eyes, made extra verdant with a sudden greed and hunger for their contents. Freyd saddled the casque up beside him, trying to set it in a way tha

Morningstar didn't even need to direct Yue Hua--she was on the ball. She dove in first, entering with a clean display of sword-work. She completed it with a stun, creating an ideal state for Morningstar to swoop in after her. He followed her lead. Star procced Charge--a bit overkill considering its immovable state, but the chance to show off to his trackers came irregularly and he was a bit of a showoff at heart. The air boomed like a drum and Morningstar flashed forward. The tip of his blade touched the sky. When he drove it down, the birds abandoned their trees. The sleeping bear's

The soft rustle of grass and a gentle breeze that would comb it down in sweep, sending them to shiver and spring jubilantly back up. A grove untouched by most in a realm long forgotten. A sacred garden from the lands before, a clocktower held steadfast in a reflection of another. Age, and time. History and fate, had prattled on like droplets in a vast sea. On the rim would you spot the ripples, after they had traveled for so long? Swarms of petals whisked aimlessly by like children racing home for supper, dancing with every step as they'd sway and then fall in a misguided sprinkle. Reds and bl

'Thank you, I shall certainly let you know!' Aoi's face lit into a small smile as she accepted the order, tucking it away for later use. Departing from the shop, she threw her head back inside at the last second, adding to her commentary. 'Oh, and thank you for the quick service. I'll surely be back again soon!' Picking Up Vambrace Crossbow | T2 Perfect Projectile Weapon | ID 244749 | Keen 1 | Para 2 Desc. A simple vambrace with a built-in hand crossbow, capable of firing small, powerful bolts.

Flappy-fluff squawked and took off, probably terrified by Reliq's distraught wails - or at least so he thought. Skipstones, by comparison, was getting frisky. There were sparks, and everything. And then fire. Oh. That was probably bad, right? Too distracted by the ill effects of his own antics, at first, his comrades efforts effectively dislodged the mimic's lapsing focus from its own plight by their efforts to actually deal with the problem. Brittle and raw, flesh sloughing off like shedding snake skin, Borris' efforts at nudging him along were also making him extremely ticklish. Regen

Aoi shifted her eyes around the crowd, confirming no one else was approaching, before pushing past the nearest of players. She could see a few eyeing her as she approached the woman, and found herself not caring about their judgemental gazes. Reaching the woman – who at this point had collapsed to the ground in a desperate heap – Aoi knelt down, placing a hand upon the woman’s shoulder and looking into her eyes. ’What is it you need help with, miss?’ ’I’ve…I’ve been trying to find someone to help me…all day…My child-my daughter…‘ Tears seemed to well at the corner of the woman’s eyes, a

The path faded slowly beneath her feet, grass overtaking dirt until there was nothing but wild undergrowth and the sound of her own steps. The petals had stopped appearing some time ago, but she didn’t need them now. The pull in her chest was stronger than any trail. The forest broke open all at once. Hidden stepped into the clearing and felt her breath still. The meadow stretched wide beneath the orange sky, glowing in the late light. Flowers bloomed in every color — tall white lilies, violet clover, bursts of red and soft amber — all swaying together like the field itself was alive. The
