Oikawa

His question was answered with action as Kotori dashed into town. Grinning, the blonde followed as he chased her to the rink. Maybe he was mistaken, but the noirette seemed to be moving even faster than the last time they ran and it caught him off guard as he struggled to keep up. Well when did she get so fast? No matter haha. Snow kicked up as they weaved through town. The city skating rink wasn't much further for them as they continued running. Well hopefully I don't face plant.

Oikawa chuckled at Kotori's response. He looked to the girl as they stepped onto the platform holding the gate. "If you follow my lead will probably end up on the ground more than anything haha, but it should be fun." Gesturing towards the gate, he gave a slight bow and stated, "After you milady." Following suit, he entered the gate and issued the words for teleportation. "Teleport: Floor Four ,Snowfrost Town." They were soon warped to the winter wonderland known as Snowfrost Town. Dropping from the platform, snow crunched beneath his soles as he readjusted his cape. "A lot cooler here than before, but snow isn't too bad. Well love, shall we continue to the rink?" 

The tone and demeanor from Helios told a story opposite of the happiness he portrayed. Oikawa felt bad but he knew that Helios wasn't quite ready for the standards his project required and didn't want to waste time developing him when that is something he should be doing on his own. If he stays active and trains hard, he will be strong in the long run. Turning towards the Mob infested area, Oikawa decided to get some training in while he was there. He then returned Helios' peace with one of his own before venturing further out into mountain.

Finally finding his blade, he looked up just in time watch Dom cleave the horns off the ram. The beast didn't find it amusing nor pleasant as it bucked and yelped in pain. Rapier raised to shoulder length he dashed to wards the mob and faintly appeared to vanish as he plunged Kyuketsuki right int o the mob's side. With drawing his blade, he stepped aside to allow Dom to follow the attack up. He rested a hand on his hip as Dom handled his attack and waited for his chance to attack.

Oikawa grinned as his crafts were praised as usual from his favorite couple. As Cal leaned in, he cleared up a thing that had been dwelling on Oikawa's mind for a while. "Ah I see. Well that makes sense then. Lets kill this overgrown frozen yeti and move on to the shark." Following the two, Oikawa drew his blade and brandished his shield. he was more than prepared to take on this Mob. Readjusting his clasp, he focused as they neared the frozen tundra littered with frost caves and snowy forests. Well this place hasn't changed much. We have nothing to worry about as far as I know. Lets take it down quickly.

Oikawa listened to each of their explanations and was a tad disheartened to hear that Teayre's, although not complete motive, involved Kotori and the hopes of acquiring him as well. he was surprised to see that the topic set her off to the point where she needed to excuse herself to let off some steam. "Thanks for your input Cal and thank Teayre for me too. I think you should probably go catch her. This was an effective first meeting more or less and I think I'll go ahead and take my leave." Placing his hand out to shake, Oikawa prepared to leave the shop. He made sure he left a 200 Col tip as he exited the cafe and back to his shop. He would have plenty to think about tonight. 

-200 Col

Oikawa watched in disbelief as the noirette before him made no attempt to strike the dragon. Well this has certainly gone on long enough. Raising himself from the wall, he walked over to the dragon and drew his crimson blade. Flicking his wrist, and sheathing his blade, he watched as the dragon shattered into useless pixels."Well that was disappointing to say the least. I will be ending this trial. I may pursue your talents at another time. Maybe not." Compensating the player, Oikawa handed him 1000 Col and hoped there would be no hard feelings. "Sorry about this mate. I  will notify you if anything changes."

"Thanks" escaped his lips as he returned the hug and chuckled. The jab was nothing but it was just like her to react that way. Focusing on the task that lay ahead, Oikawa checked his gear and took a mental note on the fact that he was close to maxing out two skills at this point. He listened as everyone gave the A-Okay regarding them being ready and being last as usual he finally chimed in. "Welp lets get this show on the road. It looks like we have quite the trials ahead of us." His thoughts soon drifted to Kotori as they began to head out. I wonder how she is? Is it weird to think about how I miss her. Maybe I should pm? No it might make things awkward...sigh...

Dom quickly bounded for their next victim. performing acrobatic skills, Dom manged to handicap the ram with his blow. However his attack was met with a retaliation that effectively knocked him back a few yards. Not even waiting to hear for the switch. The Faint maneuvered around the mountainous terrain and leaped into the fray. His cape flapped in the wind behind him as he descended onto the ram. Somehow, the overgrown sheep  was able to move out of the way as he tucked and rolled away. Raising to a crouch, the glint of something shiny caught his eye. Reaching his hand out, he was able to collect another material. "Another free material Dom. Switch back! I think I dropped my sword anyway."

Oikawa let their answers soak in as he sat back and thought. Letting them finish, he sat up with a prepared response. "As for Kotori and I, I think we're doing fine. Just enjoying the moment and taking it slow. On the flip-side, regarding guilds, front-lines and what not, I have a few comments. To answer your question Cal, yes. that is the precise reason why I've pushed myself so hard to get where I'm at. As for not meddling in guild affairs I do have some concerns. I feel trouble will be brewing soon with Absolute Pin in particular and I have a concern that's been nagging at me. If you two could riddle me this, what was the real motive behind acquiring Kotori? From what I gather, Ariel was extremely upset that I declined her invite and then joined Azure. I can't help but feel like Kotori was used as bait to get me to join. I'm also aware of her rather Absolute Power over Absolute Pin. Your take on my concerns?"

"Yes!" Anna said as she tossed the satchel she carried onto the counter. "Six material as promised..." She pushed the bag toward him. She picked the blade up off the counter and balanced it in her hands. It was a little heavier than she thought but she liked it. "Just perfect!" Anna said as she place the item in her inventory. "I guess that's it then. I appreciate you getting this done for me so quickly."

 

Anna pays 6 material to Oikawa.

 

Anna exits stage left. 

Oikawa grinned as Azazel produced six materials for her purchase. Collecting the materials she offered, he finalized the trade and made a note in his ledger. "Glad the weapon meets your standards. It was pretty snazzy to make and it was my pleasure crafting it." He waved her goodbye as she exited the shop.

"Yeah they have strong players but still. I worry about them. It's a small group against a benchmark boss. It just seems kinda crazy if you ask me. The next boss will certainly have more to worry about. I'll be there and I'll make sure he feels it when I strike. " The blonde's resolve scorched like a new flame and he was sure that he'd be one to put his strength to use. Having calmed down, he relaxed a bit as the remnants of his pie was scarfed down. Looking up in a sort of daze, Oikawa delivered yet another question.  "What do we do from here?" 

 

Azurewrath was ready. 

 

Ann was so excited she was shaking. Shed been dreaming about her perfect wepon for months and in a mere matter of days, it was a reality. The woman walked into the shop hurriedly with a leather satchel over her shoulder.  

 

"Oikawa..." She called out looking for the young man. " I'm here for my rapier and I've got my payment with me."  She hoped she didn't need to wait for him very long. She was eager to try out her new toy. 

 

 

"I'm here. And I have your rapier." Retrieving the sword, he placed it on the counter and smiled at the brunette. "So here it is."

He felt her grip tighten as he pulled her along through the plaza and an inexplicable grin tugging on the corner of his lips as they moved through the crowd. To the fourth floor for skating. Looking back at her, he slowed the pace and inquired. "So how is your skating ? Mine is pretty...meh at best haha. you don't mind getting on the ice though do you?" He wanted to make sure that she was comfortable with doing these things and didn't want to take her out of her comfort zone. He wanted to keep this simple and fun and void of awkwardness.

Another miss? Tch. Maybe this was a waste of time. Maybe one could say his first hit was luck. Which in that case he needs to develop his skills way more before I can recruit him. Sigh...this one was promising too. Oh well if he doesn't land a hit on his next attack I'm ending this little trial session. Focusing on the actual combat, Oikawa watched as the dragon hovered from side to side before soaring to the skies and attempting a dive bomb. The attack proved effective  as the flying lizard knocked Helios to the ground. Shake my head. This isn't looking good for him.

He whiffed again on the attack. What's that thrice in a row now? He might be too weak for the project. I can see his potential but his concentration needs work. Plus I need to see how well he deals with multiple misses. Will he get discouraged and give up? Will he attempt to chug on and do better? The blonde's thoughts ran rampant as the dragon attempted to shoot off another volley of blasts. All missing their intended mark. Come on Helios. I need you to focus and rid your Mob. The longer the battle, the more likely to encounter high leveled monsters...

His last two crafts didn't even stand up to par as he collected another Good quality item and another Uncommon Rapier. Tossing both out, he made some notes in his ledger and cleaned up the back room. After filing and storing the weapons, he placed the Evaluation bin in the drop of and shut down the furnace.Once that was complete. he returned to the front of the store yo await some new or old customers.

His next two crafts started out with the same luck as previously. After having smacked the material a few times, he instantly threw it away as it had resulted in a Good quality item. He was sick of crafting the same crap quality items. He needed more Rares and Perfects. Trying to regain his focus, he nearly crafted a Perfect on his sixth material but fell short as it resulted in Rare item. Placing it in evaluation, he moved onto his final two crafts. Hopefully by then he would have crafted another Perfect.

Grabbing another materials he tried to make the second of three Perfect rapiers. His third mat resulted in the typical Good quality item. His second craft following the same route. He trashed both items. A rut seemed to have been bestowed upon him as he seemed to craft more Good quality items than anything else. it put a damper on his mood but he was determined to continue his crafting.

The forge was actually quite hot for the day. He hadn't planned on crafting again so soon but others said otherwise. Grabbing some materials , his gloves, and his hammer, the blonde prepared to grind out some items today. Heating up the first material, he thought about the orders lined up. Three Perfect quality rapiers needed to be made. Focusing on that alone, he retrieved the first material from the furnace and smacked away at it. After a few taps, the ore glowed briefly before becoming a Perfect Quality Rapier. Adjusting the design and enhancements to match Azazel's request, Oikawa placed the item in the evaluation bin and moved onto the next one. Eager. to craft another Perfect, he was extremely disappointed when the craft result in a Good quality item. As per usual he tossed and went for the next materials.

Oikawa nodded as the snowy setting of the fourth floor materialized around them. Reaching up, he caught a few flakes in his palm before crushing them and sighing. He was anxious but patience was a indeed a virtue and waiting for Teayre and her extra fire power would be well worth it. A sudden flash, then caught his attention. Look back at Calrex, he instantly noticed the change in Gauntlets and Sword. "Testing out the new gear finally? Good! I was beginning to think my crafts were going to waste haha. I kid I kid, but it is Nice to see a change. If you haven't noticed I now don a cape. I mean it's a little difference but it's a nice change nonetheless."

The <Elf Dragon> took flight as it evaded the player's head on attack. Charging up, the dragon unleashed a volley purple energy shots and watched as one-by one, missed the player before it. Hovering closer to the player, the dragon attempted to make it nigh impossible to be killed by floating so close to its enemy. The blonde continued to watch as the two participants strugled back and forth. Neither being able to hit the other. He's still learning, I have to keep that in mind. He may not have accuracy buffs yet either, Shame really. He could've had it already but I digress.
