Oikawa

Like little fires crackling in the dark of night, Oikawa's gaze danced about the scene before him. Though not everyone had arrived yet, the majority were not far behind and his guilds very own scout, Takao had managed to arrive before the blonde himself; despite the brunette not be present for the meeting. 

Makes sense given his title, he mused. Stealing a glance at Tak, he caught the item that was tossed to him; his hand smoothing over the metallic flask as he unscrewed the top and indulged in the liquid confidence the item produced. Nodding his thanks to Takao, he felt his avatar glow with yet another effect as Teayre and Calrex approached. The former donning her banner and apparently selecting the blonde as a recipient. Nodding her thanks as well, he reached into his own inventory and produced a few more items for use. Downing them, he sifted through his inventory, unsure of what to wear against this beast.

From what I remember, this room plays a large part in his abilities. Lets go for sustain and damage if nothing else.

Clicking on the three items, Oikawa watched as <Akuma's Vain> gripped his shoulders once more, followed by the familiar handle of <Amphibian Teeth> clutched within his grip, and lastly the the silver of the <Ring of Satan> encompassing his right ring finger. Flexing his hands, he planted his blade into the earth and awaited everyone's arrival. This fight would be a good one he hoped. No casualties was the plan.

Stats:

Oikawa could see the gears turning in the bluenette's mind. The possible counter to his counter forming a a ridiculous loop as most scenarios ended with the same result; at least in his head they did. Oikawa then rested his guard; planting his blade firmly in the ground before looking towards Calrex.

"I ran this over in my head a few times. The outcome virtually the same. A never ending boxing match between us because our stats mimic each other despite the discrepancy in level. And as much as I'd love to gain experience from this, my combat prowess won't grow. So I motion we call this match for now and reconvene when were closer in level hehe."

Eyeing Calrex, he waited for his response before completely disarming himself.

Hmm, we've drawn quite the crowd it would seem. I'd love to give them a show but if we just keep paras-tunning each other and regen-ing , I imagine that's not much a fight.

A grin split the blondes features as his eyes grew wide with anticipation. The two combatants hardly ever had a chance to go all against each other. And at there current rate, the two would end in a stalemate before anything majorly happened. Between there gear, current mitigation, and regeneration capabilities; despite the level discrepancy, they matched up fairly well.

"Surely you can hit harder than that Calrex," chuckled the blonde. As Calrex commented back, Oikawa responded accordingly. "If that's what you truly want, then allow me to show you what the Para-God is capable of."

Taking a step back, Oikawa drafted his menu and selected his inventory. Deselecting his <Saint's Armor>, he instead equipped his <Ring of Belphegor>; sacrificing his armor and regen for evasion. Re-adjusting his cape, Oikawa again gestured for Calrex to come at him.

"Maybe so," admitted the blonde, as his health shot back up from Calrex's opening strike. Feeling the lock of paralysis lift, he rose once more to full stature and eyed the bluenette as he switched to a more defensive stance. Donning his shield as barrier between the two.

"Already on the defensive Cal? Come on now, show me your aggression," joked the golden youth as he twirled his blade from right to left. Judging from that sudden aura enveloping him since he bolstered his shield, I'm willing to bet he activated his Safeguard mod. Hmm, should I even bother attacking? With that mod, my damage is halved before it even reaches him, on top of the defensive boost the mod gives. Not to mention Achilles, should he have invested in it. I imagine I should wait this attack out.

Dropping back, Oikawa gestured for Calrex to come at him. "Come hither Cal, show me and those watching what a true front-liner looks like!"

Calrex: 1457/1475 | EN: 137/146

Oikawa: 1175/1175 | EN: 116/116

"Ahh the S&Z tournament," mused the blonde. "Haven't heard that title ushered since the incident. Lets hope this proves to be more of a fight between us heh."

Gripping the handle of his blade, he watched as the timer ticked down. The numbers slowly dwindling as anticipation built around them. Suddenly the timer struck zero, and the ultramarine knight was upon him like the sunlight that currently enveloped the floor. Calrex's blade was covered in a ghostly blue aura as it rushed the blonde; striking him several times over in the process. Crimson streaks adorned his frame as he stumbled back. Looking at his HUD, he took note of the stunned icon beside his name.

"Stunned eh? It seems now everyone wants to use my strategy hehe. Though I suppose I did bring this upon myself."

As he sat stunned, he noticed he had received another message but due to his state and the situation at hand, he chose to ignore the envelope.

"Very well. Half-loss it is then."

Dragging his finger across his menu, a plethora of items revealed themselves as he cycled through his inventory. Despite usually knowing what gear set he was to use, the blonde was at a loss for once on how he would counter the ultramarine knight. His prowess as a PvP orientated player would be quickly tested in a match such as this, and for once in his time here, he was unsure if he could beat his opponent. However, the Faint was never one to stray from a challenge and as such, he selected the three items he would take with him into battle.

Light flashed and cascaded him as <Amphibian Teeth> materialized in his hand, his <Saint's Armor> replaced his <Golden Armor>, and <Akuma's Vain> shrouded his frame. Giving the demonic blade a simple twirl between his palm and fingers, Oikawa locked eyes with the bluenette.

"Well this duel has been a long time coming. Shall we?" questioned the blonde as the duel request was sent to Calrex.

Sweat dripped from the brow of the blonde as he sat back and admired his work. Two finely crafted items perfected in under thirty minutes. A feat he had only just grown accustomed to as of late. The usual trial and error used to drag him down, but no longer did he worry about failure. No the blacksmith now only focused on his success and this new mindset proved fruitful when dealing with tricky orders. Polishing the last bit of trim on his armor and the shaft of Arc's spear, Oikawa closed up shop and opted to go inform the necro-spearman that his item was in fact ready for pick up. Taking one last look at the shop, the blonde quickly exited the place of business and headed for the second floor.

Oikawa's gaze flicked to his left as a figure approached. A hand rapped against his shoulder before being followed by a greeting and challenge of sorts. A small grin found its way to the blonde's face as he raised to full stature and turned his attention to the ultramarine knight.

"That seems to be a running theme as of late. And given the location of this meeting I can't progress much further than this as the guards would be on me before i even reached the tournament grounds. That said a spar would be nice even though I'm sure I know what the outcome will be," admitted the golden armored youth.

Just as he concluded, a message floated into view. The name revealing the sender to be Arc. Opening it, Oikawa glanced over its contents and quickly typed out a reply. As he turned back to @Calrex, he could only spot a white blur that suddenly lunged for his legs. Stumbling back just a bit, Oikawa chuckled at the sight of the attack.

To: @Arc

We'll see. Proving oneself is the best way to be noticed. Right now all I can make out is arrogant smirks and wanna be bada**es. Aincrad has a special place for those type of people who cannot back that up. But I appreciate the wishes nonetheless. As for your weapon, send me the details and when I get back to the shop, I will start right on it.

"Ahh Kimba, I suppose that means @Ariel - The Crowned Lion isn't to far from here."

As if on cue, the lady blonde waltzed into view and offered her hellos to the duo.

"Eh this cursor is nothing more than a fancy deterrent. That works both ways for me. That said, I'll be sure to let you know if I ever do decided to 'go green'," he mused. As she mentioned the gathering below, Oikawa's attention drifted to the players below. As his gaze swept over the growing players, he caught a wave from Aincrad's best healer, @Zandra. Returning the gesture, he quickly turned back to Calrex so he could address there duel.

"So what parameters will we b-," he stopped short, as a blade came flying through the air, only to dip and plant itself into the ground by his feet. Unfazed by the intrusion, the wielder of the blade quickly made his presence known as he acrobatically retrieved the blade and stood before them.

"@Hikoru," voiced the blonde.

Listening to the brunettes request, Oikawa laughed once more.

"My reputation is coming to bite me in the butt it seems. But I will grant your rematch once I've dueled Calrex here." Returning his sights to Calrex, he continued. "Alright so duel limits, what are they?"

Approved.

"Hmm," murmured the blonde as a notification sounded.

Lifting a finger, the in-game menu materialized before him. Selecting the messenger, he opened his latest message. A grin immediately replacing his expressionless slate. From Arch eh? I wonder what this could be about.

Glancing over the text, he chuckled. Typing out a reply, he hit send and continued to observe the scene unfolding below.

To: @Arc

I actually mastered that skill some  time ago. A good investment if you ask me. That aside, I heard rumor of a tournament, but judging by those gathered, we both know it wouldn't be fair if I entered. So I will resume my "brooding" hehe. Try not to lose should you enter, I'm actually scouting today as well.

Though not originally part of his plan, growing Spectrum would come sooner or later so why not get the jump on the next wave of players stepping to the plate? Letting his gaze befall those below once more. He spotted a few more familiar faces as they arrived. Teayre and Baldur among the familiar ones, as well as some lower level players he was beginning to see more and more of. Sighing, he tried to make out the gist of below. With the figures being inaudible to him, following their movements and understanding it proved to be difficult; but he watched on. 

Crimson eyes scoured the field of High Crossing, noting all the players currently in attendance.

A few players above level 25, and the rest below that. Hmm, surely it'd be unfair for me t join this 'tournament', mused the blonde as his face rested along crossed arms.

Sitting up, he placed a hand on the blade strapped to his back. Ea, the golden two handed weapon he had used ever since he had switched from rapier to two-handed straight sword, hadn't had any player action at all and the blade seemingly pulsed with that hunger. Sighing, he tugged on the handle, releasing it from its clip along his spine and planted it firmly in the ground before him before returning his attention to those below.

He noted a few players he had seen before or at the very least heard mention of. Itzal and Arc being the two he was familiar with; the ladies not so much. However, rather than engage them, he simply kept his distance for now. He would like to see how this 'tournament' progressed before stepping in.

Selecting the thirty thousand Col, the blonde sent the trade off to @Macradon, finalizing their little transaction of sorts. With a nod, he continued.

"Yeah, I'd rather not have that type guilt hanging over me if someone was to get injured here because we can't let Opal be. She's will only be as relevant as we let. Ignoring her seems to work thus far."

Turning around, he smelled the familiar stench of smoke as he spotted the little circle of flames @Hikoru had managed to produce.

"Looks like my assistance isn't needed either," Oikawa chuckled.

Turning his attention back to the woods, he couldn't help but feel like Kiru wouldn't make an appearance today. The two-tone haired girl was often off on her own doing Kayaba-knows what whilst Opal roamed free. His worry had only grown since their last encounter and he wasn't sure the outcome of the eventual fight would be in his favor, whether it be morally or emotionally.

+1 Demonic Egg

-30,000 Col

Blades ripped through the maroon beast as Baldur and Calrex concluded their assaults. Red gashes rippling across Kobold like permanent tattoos as it roared out in agony. The two before him wouldn't take retreat unscathed however. Just as Calrex turned his back, the bulk of the Kobold's axe ripped into the ultramarine's frame before expunging nearly half of his health. Having sat back long enough, the blonde surged forward. Orochi glowed with the light of [Over Radiation] as he suddenly tore into the Conqueror. Several holes spotted the monsters frame, causing it's health to drop dramatically as he removed his blade from it's chest cavity.

"Calrex your move."

"My intentions for the egg is to swap my unique sword, Amphibian Teeth, to that of another weapon type. I may be donning the sword and board persona once more," explained the blonde with a chuckle.

"As for Opal, she isn't worth the effort and I don't wish to spoil the little serenity Lycan managed to muster here with his little lakeside fun party. So do with her as you want, just try to keep it away from the lower leveled players. My crystal is enough of headache violence will only breed more of it."

Pausing, the blonde sighed before turning his attention to @Hikoru as he beckoned for the blonde to entertain the chance of starting a fire. Lifting an index finger, he motioned for the Master of Shadows to hold on a moment as he finished his business with @Macradon.

"Ahh before I forget, how does 30, 000 Col sound for the egg? Is that enough?"

Silence lingered for a moment as Mari pulled Esther in close. Whether out of protection for Esther or comfort for herself, the action seemingly did both. Crystal blue eyes scoured the blonde. Her gaze seemed to judge the merit of his words; searching for what he could only assume was some hint of fallacy in his tone. However, she found none and rightfully so might he add.

So there is a face behind that mask, he thought.

Her face softened. Giving her the look sincere defeat as she lifted the mask he spoke of before. Showing her true self as she began to speak. He listened. Taking in all she had had to say without so much as a breath being heard from his end. He let her finish, pausing only to make sure he had his own thoughts together before he replied.

"Murder is murder, a fact indeed. And yes should this have been the real world, we certainly would be spending time in jail for the crime of murder. However, we aren't in the real world. Not anymore. The rules that govern right and wrong there, do not apply here. The environment we now occupy, plays by rules that a man created. Rules that have imprisoned us in a virtual space to either have us all killed for his amusement or rise to the occasion and set ourselves free."

A breath gathered in his chest, a sigh escaping soon after.

"No matter what we tell ourselves, we are gonna hate what we've done. Maybe we don't deserve to walk freely as we do. Maybe we don't deserve redemption for what we've done. But does that mean we shouldn't make something of it? Our judgement will be given as we open the gates to the afterlife, until then I will make the most of what life I have left and I hope you choose to do the same. And to be frank it seems you already are," admitted the blonde with a gesture Esther as she stood still wrapped in the pinkette's arms.

"Despite your tolerance for people, here you stand clinging to Esther. Protecting her from people who may wish to do her harm. I imagine that means your care for her somewhat. If you can't see that, then maybe you are better off behind bars where you can't protect the one person who hasn't turned her back on you."

"A stand-in ? Hmm, may I inquire whom?"

I wonder if they plan to join in the next raid then. From the looks of it, they don't seem to have it altogether at the moment and disorganization while attempting a raid cn only prove to be fatal. I suppose we'll see in due time, though I'd hate for more lives to be lost this early on.

"As for the egg," he chimed. "I was wondering if I could purchase it from you?" Though he had no reason to hide his reasoning for wanting the egg, if the tank decided he didn't need an explanation for why he wanted it, he wouldn't offer one.

As he awaited his response, Oikawa stole a quick glance to see where everyone was at. From what eh could tell, the hustle and bustle still revolved around locating ingredients for the fish. As he checked the greenery around him, he spotted a cluster of mushrooms gathered at their feet.

"Ahh look. Mushrooms," stated the blonde as he yanked them from the earth.

ID: 68645 LD: 27 (19+8) [Ingredients Found]

"Free of charge," worded the blonde as he stepped from the door leading to the forge.

"I haven't much use for col these days and crafting season will pick up within the next couple of floors. So take it and make yourself into something useful," joked the golden smith.

Hovering over his menu, Oikawa sent the trade request to the white-haired youth. Offering the blade for free, despite the salesmen in him begging to have col line his pockets. Shrugging the mental notion off, he watched as the blade de-materialized and re-materialized into Lycan's open palms.

"All yours," he chimed. "Now just promise me you wont shop anywhere else for your smithing needs. I like to keep loyal customers, as I'm sure you like to have swiftly made orders."

Turning on his heels, the blonde offered a wave goodbye as he returned to the back of his shop. He still had plenty of things to craft.

-1 Wolf's Bane

Sarcastic venom lingered in her words as she responded to the blonde. Her tone further proving his earlier point, and confirming that the pinkette was always in a mood of rude, cynical behavior. Rather than entertain her banter, Oikawa only sighed and chose to ignore the obvious acidic attitude the woman had just offered.

"You're right it is rather new, and hopefully something you can get accustomed too," retorted the blonde as his crimson gaze flicked to her cerulean glare.

However, his comment was only drowned out by the incoming attack of questions that seemed to be aimed at his being. Another sigh expelled from him. Raising up to full stature, he kept his eyes locked to hers, ignoring the lilac haired girl despite her intentions to get Mari on the same page as himself.

"I'm fine most days," he started. "Though living with notion that you took another's life, weighs heavy on mind daily. I'm sure you know that weight all to well yourself. However, much like you, I wear a facade. Our masks just so happen to take different shapes. While my mask is determined to show despite our best intentions we are all human and we make mistakes that we will never be able to take back; it seems like yours is hell bent on shutting out the world you don't think you belong in. But if my observation is off, please enlighten me because I don't understand why you do this to yourself as well as let others do this to you." 

Swiveling to look around for materials as they still needed to gather something for them to eat in addition to the fish, the blonde spotted @Macradon doing the same not to far ahead. Remembering the name to be associated with the Knights of the Blood, Oikawa approached the youth as he had a few questions regarding the guild.

"Oi, Macradon. Its been a while. How are the Knights these days?"

While genuinely curious about who led the guild these days given Opal's latest crimes and the disappearance of Mack, he did have another reason for stopping the tank.

"I'm also curious, do you still happen to have the <Demonic Egg> from the Easter event awhile back?"

Oikawa remembered that a handful of players had obtained the item but most those players have disappeared from the front lines or had been slain by other means. All in all, it was bad, but the self pro-claimed Para-God needed the egg for another reason.
