Simmone

Simmone leans down and grabs the iron ore, a bit confused by the drop of metals from a wild animal but no matter. Dropping the hunk of metal into her merchants ruck, Simmone moves a few more steps before her detection skill pings again. Simmone follows the map, which leads her to a worn large oak tree. Simmone looks up and sees a honey comb affixed to a tree, and she quickly and gracefully pokes it removing it from the tree. Sheathing her blade with a quick flick of her left arm, the blade re enters the small leather loop on her right hip as Simmone moves on to the next thing she can obtain for the Odyssey.

LD 12+4=16 Success!

Simmone Obtained:

» 1*Jar of Honey

Simmone looked down at her feet, amused with the now empty plot of land and the easily distracted mobs. Stealing away, as the players kill the kobolds and move toward the now fully looted plot. Simmone chuckles silently as the players shout in anger, as she moves on to the next golden opportunity. The path begins to wind as time stood still, Simmone kicking up very small amounts of dust as she continued along it. The trees to become more numerous as the forest thickened, tops of green began to blot out the sky.

Simmone stood on the small plot of soil, helping herself to the Kobolds crop. Simmone scooped and complained about the dirt on her hand, pocketing another carrot with ease.  A rustle is heard but Simmone ducks out of sight with ease, as a trope of kobolds scurry by quickly. "They seem to be in a hurry" Simmone thought, as they are aggroed on a pair of nearby players. Simmone smiled with a bit of a grim smile, taking advantage of the players unintentional distraction to help her self to everything underfoot.

Simmone carried herself slowly, but gracefully across the brown dirt path. The floor was a bit cooler today, proving the fluctuating weather that exists in this masochists playground. Simmone was in her element, even at her own dismay her attention to detail was flawless making her ideal for hunting for items. The trees swayed with the wind, pulling her hair with it as it changed angles over and over. Keeping a close eye on her mini-map, Simmone took her hair and wrapped it around her ear with the point of her right index finger. As the strand of hair is wrapped around her ear, her map chimes with a circular blue pulse emanating from a blue dot. Simmone quickly beat a path toward the blip, revealing a small brush with what seems to be a small garden. The signs were drawn awkwardly, Simmone thought to herself "More then likely produced by kobolds, on this floor." Simmone quickly snapped down and pocketed a carrot, shoving it into a merchants sack.

Simmone's hips sway as her sandals clap with the stone flooring of the starting city. Dismissing some pm's with a swipe of her hand, the hud closes one menu as Simmone drags up her stores stock list. Looking at the dwindling count, Simmone sighs as shes going to have to retrieve some to fill her store....

Manually....

The word gets stuck in her mind. Simmone wasn't the type to do stuff for herself, she enjoyed having servants to do such menial tasks for her. Heading toward the gate, Simmone's figure is tracked by prying eyes to her amusement as she calls out "Floor 1!". The all to familiar beginning floor peered back at the Lotus, her white yukata almost blinding to the eyes from the fake sunlight. Not about to waste any more time then she has to, Simmone began to walk ahead, toggling on her supped up detection skill for gathering and followed the same path as many.

LD: 9+4=13 Failed!

Simmone tested her luck again, calling forth her helpers to peel up some jams for her to trade in the market. Obliging her command, they retrieved the glass containers filled with strawberries. The pink sap jars, where of little use in the market. Simmone failed to retrieve anything of worth, her "qualities" are better suited on gender's opposite her opposition. Wallowing in her feeling of defeat, Simmone made her way to the Odyssey, tired and angered by today's turn of events. Simmone sat on her sofa, and sipped sake eager to forget her misfortune.

Simmone made her way to the market, making an attempt to exchange hoping to fill her shelves with fabric. The market was a buzz with business today, and the roar of the crowd echoed across the stone tiles. Keeping her calm however Simmone made her deal, trading some soft brass ingots for very fine fabric. Making short work of the opposing merchants resolve, Simmone's very persuasive figure made him trade at cost. Simmone re-entered her shop and handed the fine blue fabric to her helpers.

Simmone continues her words with Ryu's intrigue, "I make a note to know everyone who enters my shop by name, never know when I may need to.... 'contact' them again" she says putting significant emphasis on the word contact. Taking another puff of her cigarette, Simmone looks over Ryu with piercing eyes. The NPC girls are running around polishing the shop due to the inactivity, aiming to keep busy. Simmone's smoke permeates the room as she waits for anymore quarries Ryu might have for her.

"Yes one..." Simmone said as the words drop from her slowly. After a slight pause Simmone speaks again "Tell me your name samurai, that's the last I ask of you." as she travels back to her seat and takes a drag of her cigarette holder.
