Raidou

The breaks of foliage underfoot in a low crunch, one of caution and practice. Toward the base of the columns of stone that cut their way toward the heavens, casting a large slice of shade across the thicker grove that lined its bottom. The last time he had been here, a player had scaled its birth seeking out an unorthodox familiar within its confines. Not many braved its peak, and what rested up so high offered little in artificial value. No high rarity material, no exclusive yield. Nothing to such calibers, and yet what was not readily apparent is what it did offer. A different perspective. F

As his footfalls carried him, a sideward glance to his HUD showed the green circle move and trail behind him. <<Detection>> at its finest, leaving nearly none that could actually pass by the wanderer unnoticed. The lenses on his face gleamed with every streak of light that broke through the canopy overhead, as his focus remained ever forward. The man noticed no hesitation however, his gift left unclaimed but it was paltry in comparison to the meaning behind it. Down deeper into the thicker masses of the forest that line the larger mountains, where most players feared to tread. Wher

The rustle in the wood, the small green dot that perched itself on his minimap having been discovered by detection like all the others. It mirrored its companions in color, but the one distinguishing mark upon it was its distance. Far removed from the others, found solace within its solitude surrounded by cardinal creations in a stark blue. Raidou would reach for his brow and remove a pair of lenses, wiping them with a clump of fabric from his robe to give them a polish. A gesture to allow his thoughts to gather and the ones that mattered to bubble to the surface. There was always those that d

The emerald fields of stone valley were just as fresh as the nomad remembered. Spanning about as far and wide as a players vision. Dotting the left a smattering of trees in a dim blueish and green hue, topped upon spires of darker wood and riddled with moss. Just beyond, a range of mountains that peaked slightly over that wood casting a silhouette of shade across that under its umbrella. The fields were ripe with activity, as players in formed parties rushed off and flashed blades to the promise of easy to acquire loot. Given the lack of difficulty these fields were flush with faces, chatterin

The rough and murky marshlands offered little in the way of comfort. Wet bogs and stagnant pools really had a habit of licking his heels, and it took much more effort to lift his feet. The fingerless gloves on his hands are pulled tight, before his attention shifts to the cloak on his shoulders. A grab of the fabric slides a buckle and gets it more adhered to his shoulders. "Its time to see what this is all about." Raidou comments an open word to no participant, a statement made to the whole of the floor and the message he had received 3 hours, 2 minutes and 46 seconds ago. The clock of his mi

The man stands looking down at the seafoam blue water, as boats list by with more animal like bipedal folk stirring them ever forward. The 'wood' of the dock beneath his feet sounds just as hollow as the walls, showing that it wasn't what it appeared to be. The man adjusts his glasses as a message rings in a blinking blue envelope icon on the right side of vision. A wave of his hand opens his HUD and reveals it to be Mari. That necklace around her neck had really opened up doors for her, allowing her free passage around without having to walk for hours. Finally able to visit a floor moments af

The message sent would be received, leaving the nomad in red to plan an excursion into the new floor. Half of any battle in Aincrad was won before a sword was drawn, and that came through knowledge. The newly opened floor left much to explore, learn and understand. The flash of a warp gate sees him entering the town, stepping down from the warp gate and scanning the sights. A sonar like pulse as his eyes become bloomed in green, a stark contrast to his usual orange. Conversations pour in like a droning, his perceptions dialed up strong enough to pick them out as if spoken feet from him. The gl

Standard Recovery +4 EN, Inspiring {Shiina} +4 EN, Charge Refreshed, Concentration CD [3/5] Raidou would begin to breathe deep, shoring his coming exhaustion away as his weapon is supercharged again by another focal in the playing music. Whereas before Shiina wasn't really capable of repeating it, this seemed drastically more constant. The gates seemed to be tapering, and as the port cullis fell it was a small acknowledgement that things were coming to an end. "This is it." Raidou remarks toward his team, using his left hand to point at one of them as they fell. "They've ran out of men. F

Standard Recovery +4 EN, Inspiring {Shiina} +4 EN, Charge CD [2/3], Concentration CD [2/5] Raidou looked on as Kasumi and Eruda held the new militia at bay. His cousin held a good idea all her own, a meld of minds between them in a sense had him pick apart her reasoning without a word. She aims to soften them up, Good idea. Raidou silently worshiped his cousins critical thinking, choosing to double down on her gambit. His weapon becomes ablaze in a dark blue outline, and with a depletion of his stamina the system was primed to fire. With a slight ding, the nomad screams through the field

Standard Recovery +4 EN, Inspiring {Shiina} +4 EN The wave of potent power catches the nomad off guard, his senses immediately trying to seek out the source. He assumed it a potential threat, and yet finding only a dim set of white eyes and a song to greet him as his HUD started going haywire. "Shiina?" The man remarks as enemies start to drop to their knees in writhing agony, and the tremors under his feet left him with a faltering confidence. For how long has the girl been hiding something so potent, something so crushing? The swordsman looks to his blade, struggling to get his sword ar

*New Round, New Turn Order Standard Recovery +4 EN, Inspiring {Shiina} +4 EN, Charge CD [2/3] The swordsman was primed with Eruda pulling aggro from the Rhino. The thing was bathed in her flames, and the storm rumbled overhead. Raidou releases Ruri's arm, running his hand onto her head like an older brother causing the girl to jab him once in the chest in disapproval. "What can I say, I try very hard to be wrong sometimes." He remarks with a grin, pushing his glasses up his nose. The blink of lavender color proves Kasumi was ripe to strike, and it sets Raidou into a bout of seriousness

A glance to Ruri as the coliseum devolved into a controlled hysteria. The attacks like thunder, the silence that made up the space between like a void. The man cannot help but smile toward the girl, expressing a sense of safety and control. "If you need guidance." As if right on queue a comment from Kasumi affirms what he was trying to convey. "That is what a captain is for. You can do this." His attentions lock to Kasumi as his weapon is ripped from its sheathe. A roaring burst of dark blue outlines that slant of steel, as Raidou's posture moves poised to attack. "Prepare for a heavy hit, I'l

"Whats the house called? Yeah Raidou wouldn't give it some special name. Its house" Approved

The man smiles gently, finding Ruri's early risen outrage to be endearing. Raidou had caught her slide something behind her back, and that interest in the guilds work was an entirely new one. The fact was Ruri was more reclusive then most, and he'd been waiting for her to ask or show interest in branching out for quite some time. To the table he'd scan down, brushing it with his hand. The distraction works, causing the bluenette to lean in and drawing her attention. A flick sees the paper snagged from her hands, causing her to twist and pound on his chest. "Piasuhon eh? I suppose we can manage

Standard Recovery +2 EN The swordsman looks on as the final enemy cracks and breaks, and with tensions on high the man and the rest of the party inspect the field. Waiting for something else to climb up out of the metaphorical wood work. Mt. Stygian continues to bubble and brew, spilling forth escapes of sulfur and brimstone. A silence washes over the battlefield, showing them all that after all this conflict the system had finally ran out. Its attempts on their lives had dwindled, either through regret or being discouraged. They were all seemingly far too tough for such trivial creatures

*Combat Ends, Rhino's Horn/Well Rested/Troll's Blood Reset With the last of that dungeon taken care of, the figure explodes into an icy mess that melts and shatters the moment it touches the ground. A small breath escapes from his lips with yet another map being pulled out of his inner robe pocket. “Last one guys, keep it up” the man expresses as he grips the parchment in both hands. The environment shifted slightly once more, but this time large masses could be seen in the distance and notice the group instantly. “Get ready, they're coming” saying as he pushes his glasses up the bridge o

Nisahime misses the smaller one and Setsuna sliced through the big one like butter. Its health plummets into nothing as shards of ice explode outward before turning into tiny fragments that sprinkle down around them. Like he thought before, even with the lower stats this was not going to be an issue at all. Even his team's energy was doing okay, at least for now. One creature still remained, he would raise his sword up and slam the point into the ground causing a fissure of lightning to burrow where it stood. Sparks around the flaming bird before nothing, he knew it wouldn’t take much for it t

*Combat ended, Rhino's Horn/Well Rested reset. White icy mist lingers while chill permeates down his spine. Setsuna had done a fine job of finishing the Phoenix. It shattered from the popsicle that it laid dormant in for some time. The thread was over but not for long. Pulling out a dungeon map, it would be most efficient with this many people here. The quest that was taken from the guild hall chimes upon everyone HUD upon the field boss dying. With a very small break, he would open the map as the environment around them would change ever so slightly. This was going to be one of many

The man would halt from his inspection of vials as Maru stood idle waiting for his approval. Held by the upper neck, he'd offer it back to the NPC allowing it to continue up to the vault. Celeste wasn't exactly a common body to see within the halls of the guild, normally wrapped up in her own power struggle on floor 26. The floor was in turmoil after the loss of both figure heads, and Celeste and Vexx were fighting for control over the cities. An amicable goal that the wanderer was glad he didn't need to involve himself in. "Sure." The man offers with a simple agreement and a smile toward the
