Azrael

First off, I'm not going to say goodbye.

So there! *shakes fist*

I've been talking to you for years without SAO so that's nothing new, and you're not allowed to stop calling your Momma Zaz. Outside of this SAO nonsense, you know I'm super proud of who you've become. You've grown up a lot since I met you when you were young and scrawny and mopey. You're still scrawny, but now you're just a ball of sunshine energy and you should be so proud of who you're becoming. Please continue to tske care of yourself and be good. Check in with me soon.You know I like to know how you're doing. 

“So there was a trick to it.” She laughed. It seemed martial arts was just another skill she was going to need. It seemed there were just too many things to keep up with and the game only seemed to get more complicated the longer she was a part of it.  As she mused through her thoughts, Beatbox apologized for kicking her behind as he had. “Don’t be sorry…” She told him as she patted his arm, “ I’m actually glad you didn’t go easy on me just because I’m small and female.” Az never liked being treated like a defenseless or delicate creature. She might have been small, but she could definitely hold up on her own.

There was something patting at her boot, and Az looked down to see the familiar that had been perched on Beatbox’s shoulder, down at her feet. “Hello little guy,” She said as she knelt down and held her hand out to the creature so it could smell her. It brushes itself against her hand and Az giggled and pet the little creature scratching it behind the ear. “What’s its name?” She asked. Carefully she picked up the little thing and it scurried up into her arms and went straight for her shoulder. She giggled as it fluffed its way through her hair and sniffed into her ear.

As she played with her new furry friend,  she heard the click of Beatbox’s sword in his sheath. It was then that Az realized her weapon was not on her. She scanned the area in a panic and found Coldstar a few feet from where she stood. “OH!” She squeaked and collected her weapon.  Sheepishly, she put her weapon away. “I can’t believe I didn’t realize I lost it. I suppose I’m safer staying away from battle, huh?” She joked.

Azrael had no idea what she was in for when she agreed to duel. AS she went in for the attack, Beatbox moved out of the path of her attack, and just as quickly went into his. He gave her a wink and a Cheshire cat grin spread over the woman’s lips in amusement as his sword began to glow once more and the blade slashed into her. Just as the blade struck her person, she was tackled down to the ground. Az had no idea that a move like that was even possible. The clouds rolled overhead as she lay there on the ground looking up at the blue sky above her head and her counter continued to fall to half. Her display lit up and showed “ DUEL OVER, YOU LOSE”.

Beatbox’s handsome face appeared over hers as he held out a hand to help her up. Azrael took his hand as she sat up and let him hoist her back onto her feet. He asked if what he had done was good enough and Azrael nodded. “Yes, it has been most informative. I appreciate your assistance. I’ve never seen a move like that. How did you do that?” she asked him wondering if she could do something similar.

Azrael held still and watched Beatbox carefully. His sword glowed a lovely blue color as the young man began his Sword Art and swung the blade at her. She waited till he was just close enough before she tried to dodge his attack, but her opponent clumsily tripped over a root the stuck up from the ground. He landed hard, face first down upon the ground. Az was about to ask him if he was okay, but he held a finger up to her and asked for a moment. The dark eyed woman, brought a hand to her mouth and did her best to stifle the giggles that escaped her. It’d been awhile since she’d seen a spectacular fumble such as this. Slowly he got off the ground and made himself presentable and asked for them to resume play. “But of course, you’ve yet to show me your abilities.” She commented and smiled.

Azrael took a breath and exhaled slowly trying to clear her mind and prepare herself for her next attack. Maybe she could at least try to get a hit off the young man before he annihilated her.

AZRAEL FAILS TO ATTACK

AZRAEL USES 2 ENERGY

Az tried her most powerful attack again, and just the same as last time, she failed. He dodged in the nick of time and her blade sliced through the air. He really was just too fast for her. “Looks like it’s back to you,” she said.

“Watch out for the ground” Az teased and smiled widely.

AZRAEL      220/220     19/22 ENERGY

BEATBOX     855/855     83/85 ENERGY

Azrael grinned as the young man finally agreed to her terms.  “Don’t worry. I asked for this. I won’t be upset at all.” Her dark eyes glinted in the sunlight as she brushed her long hair from her face and pulled Coldstar from its sheath. She was starting to get a feel for the hwando; it had been a gift from a pretty young alchemist she’d chance to make acquaintance with. The blade was heavier than her Azurewrath, but her rapier was long gone as she had given it to Hikoru over a year ago. It was time to see what she could do with the weapon she held in her hand.

Az charged the young man and activated her most powerful attack thus far: Bear knock. She rushed forward and furiously swiped away at her opponent four times and despite her best efforts, she could not get her blade to connect. even with her accuracy boost, she was no match for the speed at which the young man moved. It reminded her a little of a kimono clad young man she knew a long time ago. She never could keep up with the speed of Life. Now that she knew all of what she could do Azrael nodded and smiled. She figured she had fallen so far behind. The pretty woman felt ashamed, even a bit embarrassed by her lack of skill, but it was what it was. All she could do now was improve. 

"Alright, Now show me what you can do," Azrael said with a smile.

 She was ready.

Az just had to know.

The young man’s modesty was rather adorable. He insisted that he was not skilled and merely fighting to stay alive, however, Az knew many on the front; each more skilled than the last. It took a great level of skill and talent to keep up with the way they were progressing on the floors. In the last year they climbed more floors than they had in the one prior. It was all thanks to dedicated souls such as he one before her that it was getting done. “You’re far too modest. I’m sure you can show me a thing or two.” She urged hoping he would indeed take her up on the offer. Still, he cutely resisted.

“Oh you wouldn’t be the first. There have been quite a few gentlemen that put me in my place. I just need to know how far I’ve fallen behind and what it’ll take to get where I need to be. Please?” She asked him and smiled widely

The young man stopped and leaned up against a nearby tree giving Azrael a chance to give him a good once over. He was fair with bright blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, His face was jovial and his words were warm and gentle. It seemed she had crossed paths with a true player; a frontliner to be exact. Az smiled and he casually introduced himself as Beatbox. So this is what frontliners were like these days. She knew quite a few souls who went to the front and the woman thought to ask about the status of her friends. As he spoke something fuzzy and cute popped up over his shoulder and watched Az with its glossy beady black eyes. “Hello cute little fuzzy!” she greeted the little fox.

Beatbox asked for her name. She saw no harm in giving it to the young man, and so she introduced herself. “You may call me Azrael. I’ve no formal title as I’ve not done much. You can call me Az if you like, most prefer to do so.” She explained. “You must be quite skilled if you’re on the front line,” The little wheels in Az’s head began to turn, “ Do you think you could indulge me in a one v one?” It’d been long since she had fought anyone and she was interested in seeing just how far she’d fallen behind.

From the tree line a young man approached her. The tall blonde man walked gently through the field, his hair tussled by the cool breeze. He spoke gently; his words were calm and that put Azrael at ease enough to withdraw her weapon. “I didn’t mean to be rude,” Az apologized, “You startled me is all.” She finished her words as she put Coldstar back into its intricately designed sheath.

“What brings you all this way?” She asked, her curiosity peaked, “I typically don’t get many adventurers around these parts. Not many find anything to be of value as I do up here.” The woman gave a yawn, and a bit of stretch, raising her hands high up over her head. She held this pose and exhaled deeply as she let her arms come back down to her sides once more. She casually glance over at the young man expectantly awaiting a reply.

Azrael found herself upon the highest peaks on the mountainous floor that was level seven. It was here that Az had made her home. The air was crisp and clear high up over the clouds, and it made Anna breathe easier being in such a clean environment.  For a little more than over a year, Anna Velasquez had fallen off the map. She had lost herself in darkness completely and spiraled out of control, hiding herself from the rest of the world and nursing her mind back to health. For months she had roamed from floor to floor with reckless abandon, only sleeping for a few hours at a time, killing what she could eat; she lived much like a wild animal. It wasn’t until she’d wandered onto floor seven one fateful evening that she began to come back to her senses. It was the sight of the stars glittering over the icy mountain caps that had caught Anna’s attention. The stars came out and shone over every floor, but the number of stars seemed greater, and they shimmered more brightly than on the other floors. It was why Az decided to stay, and she’d been here training ever since.

In the last month, Anna had made the most improvements; she even found herself training again. She found herself in a clearing in the forest practicing her various sword arts she’d already learned to use. The hwando in her hand felt different than the rapier she’d learned to use in the beginning. It was a good different in Azrael’s eyes. The dark haired woman spun about the open field twirling and slashing away at the cool, pine fresh air. She focused on the sound of the wind that echoed through the trees and fluttered the soft grass beneath her feet as she flowed through each movement with delicate grace. The woman had been training since sunrise, but the sun was near overhead and she was contemplating a break. She was about to sheath Coldstar until she hear a snapping of twigs behind her. Quickly, Azrael spun about and began to scan the area.

“Whose’s there?” she called out hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

That 36 hour limit thing punishes players who don't have the time to RP, you never really know the circumstances for them. Maybe they just CAN'T be ONLINE, or THEY'RE BUSY with their LIVES.

If you've not the time to rp, then you should not put yourself in a position where your character could die through your absence.

It's a similar concept to the boss fight, there an unskilled, unleveled player can potentially die and they only have 24 hours to post. 36 hours is more than generous. 

It's isn't an erotic fiction site, this is a pg-13 role play forum. If you can't write a good story without the pornographic content, you're not a very good writer.

If a character spends all its time behind locked doors how, Is it earning the skill points for our listed skill sets given we've nothing like character attributes to boost.

Also, Intimacy between two people isn't just grown through physical bonding, so that isn't a good argument for this either.

@Lowenthal

But that's the thing! ;-; you can just sit in the tavern all day and drink and get stronger. I mean at least with sexual actions you are at least putting stress on your 'energy', 'strength', and 'skill'

I call shenanigans on this as not one player I know of has had enough threads by drinking alone to skill them up to front line. How does flopsweat equal skill, col maybe, but that'd require a charge for services rendered.

As for lower levels earning through town rps, they too don't earn the bulk of their sp that way. Most ultimately intend to fight to boost their skill points.

You're going to have to completely redo your stats. Everyone had to when the new system was updated. Sprint and Acrobatics is a mod which is something separate you put points in that no longer effects how many skills you have (so it no longer counts of one of the nine skills). Read everything over and whatever you don't get, PM me and we'll get this worked out.

Been a long time kiddo! Nice to see you!

Azrael opened her inventory and fished out her rapier; producing the weapon, she lay it on the counter.  Her weapon was a rather beautiful rapier with a flourished guard and an Azure blue hilt from which it got its name.“We good then?” She asked the young man she’d once been a mentor to.She turned to go and took a few steps away before coming back over. Her tiny delicate hand reached up and patted Hikoru’s cheek.

“You look good kiddo…” She told him and genuinely smiled for the first time in God knew how long.

And with that she left.

AZRAEL LEAVES AZUREWRATH IN HIKORU’S POSESSION.

AZRAEL EXITS STAGE LEFT TO FIND THE NEAREST TAVERN.

Azrael hadn't vanished. On the contrary, she could be found rather easily; on the bar stool of her favorite tavern performing her favorite past time: drinking.  She didn't adventure, or fight or [censored] (a former favorite pastime), no, Az simply drank. She hoped that somewhere in the real world, someone was kind enough to main line her some vodka right into her IV so she could spend her days drunk for real. Today however, she found herself heading to Hiki's shop at his request. He'd messaged her something rather strange and she wanted to get to the bottom of things. She made her way to the third floor and over to the young man's shop and damn near kicked the door in as she entered.

"So..." she said as she shambled toward the counter, "What is it you want with my Azurewrath?" 

It wasn't like she needed the damn thing anyway, she just wanted to know why he wanted it so badly.
