Eruda

"Time...a funny word as we have all of it right now but could end at any moment. Haine, he is worth the wait, my heart will always belong to him even if it's not wanted." She thinks of everything that she could possibly be doing with him right now, her heart sunk at the possibility that it might never happen if Raidou didn't let her in. She remembers the blank passionate stare he gave the lake right before everyone fell deep beneath the ground they walked. It was scary but Eruda held strong. This world had no room for fear as the moment you hesitate...you die. Haine comments on her statement about the sister thing and she smiles. Her next words caught her off guard though. "Oh I knew about Kiluia but who is Asmura?" Raising her head up from Haine's shoulder now she readjusts her sitting to face her. "What have you been up to, I want to know everything," Eruda says with a huge smile now excited to hear.

Hearing some words from what sounded like a female, before coming around the corner she takes a deep breath to smell her shop. In return, she coughs a bit at the discovery. Coming around the corner now, "Nice nose you got, never really noticed it until now. I can assure you though I can do everything any other Tailor in this game can..." Glancing at the girl's figure, almost like she was inspecting measurements. Without a word, she turns and walks into her back room. "This is something I just made and I think it would look well on you," she calls from the back room. Pulling it from the display she had it hanging on she returns and places a deep red leather wear on the counter. "What about this, asking price is 1200 Col." Offers this to the girl for 1200 Col: Name: Red Woven Wave - Stampede Profession: Tailor Rank: 6 Roll ID: 180957 Roll Result: 12 Item Type: Light Armor Tier: 1 Quality: Perfect Enhancements: Mitigation 2, Evasion 1 Post Link: Here Description: This hard leather partakes a deep red color, comfortable fit. Starts at the chest, rapping to the mid back for protective measures. A short dress or long shirt would be considered for this piece at first glance. Black fabric straps attached from both sides of the torso wrapping across one another from behind, linking to the hips. Gloves that run the entire length on the arms, a small buckle on each for adjustments. A pair of black leggings, warm and thick but such fabric is easy to move in.

"Well done, young tailor. You have successfully made these undoubtedly usable. Congratulations Eruda," she says as Eruda smiles and places the now MasterPiece back on display. The god fetches the glass back where it belonged and looks to Eruda. Eruda turns to her as the god says "I am happy to give you this as a gift and reward for all the hard work you have done here." Just then the god raises her hand as does Eruda. A glow within both hands of the giver and taker before something appears in Eruda's hands. "You will become a great tailor someday Eruda's," she tells her with a smile. Eruda half bows toward the god before she takes a seat back in her chair. Eruda felt a weight lifted off her chest. As she starts walking back toward the exit, the doors begin to open on their own. Walking through them now fully open, she chuckles a bit as she places the item received in her pouch. Her next journey was going to be tough but she knew that she needed to face her fears and talk with Raidou. She wanted to make a difference and this was the first step in doing just that. Thread Complete FINALLY!! Eruda: 3 SP (1 for Page, One for event??, 1 For Quest Completion) (+1) CD Tool, Aphrodite's Loom 400 Col for page

Eruda practically runs to the displayed item now and starts to carefully creates a layer of thickness within the interior of where the hands would be placed when equipped. She decides to make her own little designs on it but creates enough webbing that it should still work. The entire time she was working on this, Eruda's face was lit up. She was enjoying herself very much. The god removes herself from the chair with the last touches that Eruda makes. Taking the scissors, Eruda snips and ties the silk string. Backing away slightly now, she places the cutting supplies on the table and glances down at the Gauntlets. A bright white glow then light blue was given from them. Standing next to her now the god begins to speak but Eruda instinctively walks to them and picks them up off the display. The god gasps just a bit before realizing that Eruda didn't freeze.

"Ice silk, that's what I was missing," she says as she quickly walks to the table of strings and fabrics. Her hands start to shift through the multi-colored strings and yarns. After some glancing around she finds a few strings that catch her eyes. They were light blue, as she picks one up, the texture is as silk. Almost a strong webbed feeling. Thick silk string, how did she not think of this earlier. It was weird though, this piece kept switching from a cold to lukewarm feeling. "Perfect," she says as she starts threading it through her needle. Eruda was not paying any attention to her surroundings right now just what was in front of her and the task that was given. The god that was still sitting in her chair slumped over now perks up where she sat. She knew right then that Eruda had figure it out. A large grin paints across her face now as she watches the event unfold.

Taking a deep breath as she closes her eyes now. This was something she did on a daily for years being alone in that shop of hers. Figuring out how each material worked with the other in every scenario. She worked hard to get good at it so that she would be good at at least one thing. She just needed to figure out what she was missing. She opens her eyes and walks to where the Gauntlets were. She knew that she was told not to touch them, but she knew at this point that if she wanted to do this right then she had to do just that. Taking a deep breath she moves her fingers across the only unknown material. With the touch, her fingers started to become cold...very very cold. She was right about one thing though, it was a form of silk. The smoothness gave that away. After a few moments, her fingers began to freeze. Eruda grins and removes her fingers from the silk now. Watching her hand now, the ice began to travel down her fingers to her hand and slightly up her wrist, down her arm.

A few more attempts with a few other different threads and strings...The same thing though. Everything that she put against this pair of Gauntlets froze and burst. Standing in front of the mess of colors now she thinks. Maybe it has to be strung from the same material. With the idea, pops a few different fabrics and leathers on the table as well. She takes a pair of scissors and starts cutting very thin strands of different materials. Enough so that they could thread through the only needle that was present to her. After some dedicated time, she was able to cut some slim pieces. Threading one at a time through the needle, she tries to get near the almost master craft with it...The same thing...Each makeshift string froze and burst into data. "What the heck..." Eruda says now highly confused. This god wouldn't make this task impossible so what was she missing.

Now placing all other thoughts out of her mind, she gets to work. Walking to the table her eyes peal over all the different possibilities. A rainbow of colors, each with a different length and depth. A needle lay upon the surface, just one, one size. Taking the needle in hand she walks back to the almost masterpiece as the god had put it and glances over it more carefully. The light blue material gleamed in the light and she could now see that it was the source of the cold mist. She recognized the material as silk, but that was a large range of what it really was. There were many different types of such and given the cold factor, and maybe she could use it. Walking back to the table she scans over everything. After a few moments, she picks up a piece of yarn and starts threading it through the needle. When it was threaded through she realize it was a bit short but she would make it work if she had to. Taking a few steps toward the gauntlets she puts the needle mere inches from them before the yarn freezes up and bursts into data...

There were one or two materials that she could recognize. Mainly from her activities back home. The one most vibrant though, the one that gives off the essence was new to her. "Hard leather and a thick cloth of sorts. The blue one though... I have never seen such a thing at least not til now." A small chuckle from behind her causes Eruda to turn. "You have a decent eye on your shoulders, but not knowing is half the fun, my dear. This enlightenment brings me to your challenge. There are bundles of yarn and threads just sitting on the table there," she points to the table that was not there just seconds ago. "Find the right one and lace a coding of the right material onto this gauntlet. Feed it through wrong and you will soon feel what freezer burn would feel like without the actual pain of course..." The god then vanishes and reappears in her seat with her head on her hand, held up by the table she sat at, watching her.

She glances back at the lady, taking her hand off the glass. "I am truly sorry, where are my manors," she says with a small bow toward the sandy blond. Giving a small chuckle she saying "It is quite all right. I am Aphrodite, the god of tailoring if you have yet to hear of me." She circles around the pedestal with her fingers curving across the glass. At that very moment behind, across from Eruda now, she lifts the glass off the display as the view of such becomes clear. "Tell me, dear, what do you see. Tell me what this piece is made from." She was testing Eruda to see if she knew her fabrics. "I would not touch it though," she says suddenly knowing right and well what it could do to a not so god-like figure. Eruda gives a small sigh as she starts to examine the gauntlet in better lighting. With a closer view now she sees a small essence of mist coming from it. Placing her hand just above the mist, it feels cool to the touch. Raising a brow just a bit she inspects it more.

Gloves that run the entire length on the arms, a small buckle on each for adjustments. A pair of black leggings, warm and thick but such fabric is easy to move in.

Listening to Raidou speak about his past, they had loneliness in common. "Kasumi is a very lovely person. I rather enjoy her company." She watches Raidou dump the remainder of tea on the saucer as tiny leaves do their thing. Taking a sip of hers she was very curious about what he was doing. Smiling a bit she takes a bite of her bread. She notices that Raidou has a similar look that Freya did when she goes into her thoughts. Wondering if he was okay she starts to open her mouth but then she starts to hear Raidou speak again so she closes her mouth listening. She was taken back just a little by what he said next. "Honestly...It's fine. I learned to survive out there, to do what I had to keep my head on straight. Freya sorta left me at the halfway point, so I had no one to give that push." The last words in the same phrase bothered her a bit. He too felt out of place in the real world, felt unwanted. "It sounds to me like this game did good for both of us. Ironic that we couldn't be these people in our own world." She gives a small chuckle at this. Eruda wasn't going to push him to talk about his past, but if he did then she would listen. It hit her now realizing that Raidou also has a very troubling past. She was sorry as well but she didn't want to say anything that sounded like a repeat. Giving a small sigh, it was then that she thought of something. "Raidou, you told me once that you were only one call away and at that time I said nothing." She scoots closer to the table and moves her bowl off to the side. It was a small table so the reach wasn't far but she places her hand on his lower arm and gives it a small squeeze for comfort. "When times get dark, when you feel like no one cares, and that life is hopeless, there will always be one person you can count on. If you need anything even if it's just to talk, call me and I will always be right there by your side." She sat there with her hand on his arm still. If he went through even an ounce of what she went through, then there was no chance in hell that she would ever let him feel that way ever again.

Her anger completely depletes now hearing Haine's words. She smiles a bit saying "You are a great person Haine and I love these talks too." She pets Raserei just a little more before getting to her feet and sitting next to Haine on the edge of the fountain again. She gives out a sigh as she leans her head against Haine's shoulder now. "I guess only time will tell whether I and Raidou can make whatever is going on between us workout, which I really hope it does," Haine mentions that she thought of Eruda has a really good friend. Eruda takes her head off her shoulder and turns her head with a slight joking smile as she says "Well that's a bummer, I really thought you were more like a sister to me." Eruda nudges her a bit playfully. "I'm glad that we met and that Raidou has you. Have you spoken to him lately?" She links her arm softly with hers as to not spill the coffee. Placing her head back on her shoulder, something about Haine was just relaxing. It was nice...
