Lee

"Hey, you never know. I find all kinds of new things on the daily in Aincrad. Though I'm not entirely sure just how portals work so I'm not going to be able to say if it would actually hurt. Man, pain scaling is a bit*h to understand in this game." He would answer Vigilon and then turn his attention toward the trees, aiming to see any movement of another animal or possible fight. Lee would listen as Dazia would explain in detail of the intricacies of talking with animals in a virtual world and Vigilon would agree that there is an unspoken knowledge between them. Lee never really thought much about it himself, he just treated most things like he would a dog. Get a happy enough voice, things tend to get muddled and it was then that he got lost in his own thoughts about dogs and puppies but was broken out of this daydream as Yinangi took off, saying that she had forgotten something and that she would return. Lee would simply watch as she would disappear from view and seeing as no one else had gone after her, he figured she was well enough on her own. He would turn his attention back toward the trees and aim to find what it was they were looking for. 

Lee would take in a deep breath and would wipe the imaginary sweat from his brow as Dazia and Vigilon both would assure him that there was no indication of the aftermath on him. He would then turn to Vigilon and reply. "Hey, you never know in games. Slappin a portal on an unsuspecting adventurer only for it to release some monster later on when everyone is unawares. That is the shi* that I don't like." Lee would follow the group as they continued the venture for the would-be familiar and another streak would appear though this time, it didn't attack them. Lee would lower his hand from his weapon as it seemed to be just a normal raven. Dazia would simply conversate with the creature and in the end, it would flap off in a direction that the party seemed to follow. "Cool, following birds. Unexpected but not unwanted." Benjamin would comment on the fact that talking to non-familiar animals was something he had not tried prior to which Lee would chime in. "Hey, never know till you try though, take it from me, it can end just as bad though. Some creatures just have bad days twenty-four seven."

The armored player would make his way through the Town of Beginners as he tended to do, though this day was a tab bit more than wandering. Today he was wandering in search of someone or something if a person saw it that way. He was looking for a NonPlayer Character that he planned to get a quest from. He had been putting it off for awhile now and he figured that today would be as good a day as any for him to try and accomplish it. It was in the midst of his thoughts that he ran into someone which caused him to halt abruptly. He would look to another player he had run into that, at the first few moments was rather upset that they had crossed paths. Though, the tone shifted quickly and the player would talk about finding a man that went by the name Zackariah. Lee would place his hands on his hips as he would nod his head. "Actually, yes I will. Looking for the man myself. I assume you haven't had too much luck?"

Lee would listen as Piera would contemplate just who would make the cut and the more she went on, the more it began to sound almost funny. Who was going to be cut was almost on par with who was going to be saved from the fires of hell. She would clarify that it was mainly that she didn't know the majority of them and thus, with the limited space, they had to be cut down. As she went through the names of the people she didn't know, Lee would snap his fingers at the mention of Hestia and comment. "Oh, I actually know her. We went on an outing a little bit ago and she showed me her shop. It was actually pretty nice, throw her on the list. She's good people." He would then think of the names that she had gone over, "That makes nine." He would then shrug his shoulders and continue. "At the moment, I got nothing but I'm sure that once we move past this and can't go back, I'll want to change my mind but for now, you get the last spot."

{{OOC: HA! That was too perfect.}}

Lee would let out a quick and singular 'Ha' laugh as Yinangi would make a comment on his earlier one which he couldn't keep his composure. Lee would turn to see the Raven wasn't about to give itself up so easily though. It lunged at Lee and as he rose his shield, nothing happened for a moment and just as he let it lower, the bird would shoot through him and come out the other side to which he would take a tick of damage and then spin around and point his sword at the area where the bird died. "Not cool yo! Not cool! That is some ghostly type stuff that I ain't awesome with." Lee would put away his sword and then look down at his chest as well as feel it over to see if there were any holes or marks and he would then try and look behind himself at his back, turning and twisting. "Nothing is wrong with my back, right? No dark marks or death streaks or foul portals breaching from unwanted places?" Everyone had basically decided on what everyone else had already planned on, continuing till the elusive Raven was captured.

Lee would simply turn his gaze to the lancer as she would rub the side of his head and he would scowl. "You shush it, lady." The woman would then seemingly take great false offense to his lack of sharing. He would take his sword and wave it off to the side as if to shove away from her words. "That seems a whole lot of not my problem." They would both begin to chuckle at their antics to which would make the overall mood, even more, the enjoyable. "I will have to throw some notes of people I like and don't like on there. For my eyes only." He would then look at their familiar's, hers and then his own and as Piera would speak of a hoard of the monsters like the one before them and it being the quest to which Lee would give way to pause.

"God I hope not." She would then say for her familiar to stay on his own as Lee would draw his sword outward and shift his arm so that his shield would tighten against the back of his arm. The spear user would lunge forward with a sword art and strike firmly against the Ice Elemental and then call for a Switch to which Lee would nod his head. "Switch!" Lee would then lunge forward and let his sword come down to slash down against the monster with a successful switch with his partner.

The Ice Elemental would hover forward toward the two players, only to be met with a spear to its face, scraping against it hard. It would shutter and before it could realize what was happening, a sword strike would slash down it as well, nowhere near as hard as the spear but it seemed to be more angered at the tank than the spear user. It would begin to shake violently and throw itself forward, slamming itself into the tanks chest and then bouncing back into a hovering position.

((ooc: MIT was messed up but only by a bit, hadn't taken any damage or anything so it is kay. I fixed it.))

Lee would watch as the Shadow Raven would miss him and dive into the ground or to be more specific, into the darkness and shortly after, firing out back into the air. Though, to its dismay, it was greeted by Dazia striking it with a sword skill which would cause Lee to let out a whistle. "Nice." It would be thrust back into a tree which looked like an ink splatter which would cause Lee to burst into a laugh but he would just as quickly muffle the chuckle. It was in the midst of this chuckle that Vigilon aimed to attack but as he missed, the sword he was holding would be released and find itself in stuck into a tree which Lee would turn to look at the sword and then to Vigilon, back to the sword and then to Vigilon once more.

"Well, showed that tree who is boss." Benjamin would be the next to land a successful attack on the Raven and would aim to rally as well as wake everyone up to which Lee would pull his sword back and nod his head. "Let's see if we can do that." Lee would watch the Shadow Raven as it would move around in the air, not wanting to strike at shadows yet again. He would charge forward and raise his sword high and as he brought it down, it would spark and a line of crimson along the blade's edge and slam across the Raven and then crash into the ground. "Awesome!" Lee would then look back toward the group. "Well, that should be that."

             Enemies:

Shadow Raven: HP 3/80, 24 DMG {Stun Immunity: 1 Turn} {Bleed on Enemy Turn: 12 Damage}

Facing one's fears, conquering the demon within and aiming to better oneself. These were things that, while not in the forefront of Lee's mind, were still there. He rarely held these things at all but in the past months, things had happened that shifted just how he saw some things. So, it was time to put em down. He decided that he would need to define and give them something that could at least give him some sort of bravery. The fourth floor held nothing of interest too him and even more so, it held nothing but horrid and painful memories that only seemed to get worse the longer time passed.

So, in order to face this bullsh*t, he would start visiting the cursed lands for actual reasons and accomplish those reasons. That way, the more positives he gained, the less the negatives would hold weight. Lee would appear in the snow-covered town in his usual attire of full plate with his shield already attached to one arm and the other held his familiar Babette in his underarm. He had gotten information of a boss on this floor that, with his stats along with at least one other, it shouldn't be too hard of a problem but the main thing that enticed him was this it was called a 'boss' and that would be a nice boost in ego. He would have to wait for one other before continuing and she was sure to be here any moment.

It was then that he recalled something and used his shield hand to open his inventory and scrolled through his items till he found what he was looking for. As he selected the item, a tear like object would appear in between his fingers. It shined as if covered in dew or was made of some sort of crystal that was constantly shown in the light. He had found a small bundle of these things in his home at the topmost floor. He had wondered just what they did and before he knew it, the item would shatter into a fine dust and seemingly sunk into his hand even while he aimed to shake it off but it was gone though he felt there was some difference and he knew this outing was going to benefit him greatly.

x1 Yui's Grace Used = 1 SP Boost

"Well, I guess you need two to tango...er, or two to get married." He would let himself lean into the kiss on the cheek as they would then turn themselves back toward the paper. Piera would then begin to speak about the guild in general and that of the ten spots, nine were in the guild and even with that, there was the wish to add two others that were not in it. She spoke of flipping a coin to which Lee would shake his head. "Nah, that'd be too much of a problem. Then whoever it picks, I might lean toward the other and then I will want to honor the chosen of the coin. I think I'll just ask Jomei since I've known him longer and he's helped more." She then simply asked if they should increase the number of guests to which he would look back down at the paper to which he would then stroke his chin. "Well, that's an extra thousand COL. I mean, it is mainly up to you if you think you can narrow it down but if you do want to have all the people without looking like an a*shole, I wont say no. But I don't care about the people in your guild if you don't." 

"Ha, full metal all the thangs!" He would then chuckle at Piera's comment of his mother to which he would raise his sword up so that he could scratch the side of his head with his finger. "Yeah though I'm not entirely sure even she knew what she rose." As he was struck yet again, his health would fall into the red once more though almost as quickly, it would begin to heal back as his significant other would use her skill to raise it back. It wasn't like he was aiming to keep putting himself into the situation, it was just easier for him to take the hits and get it over with rather than having to split the damage taking between the two of them. It would just be easier for him to keep it going as is. He would raise his sword as the Third Ice Elemental would pass and he would strike at the creature. It wasn't as strong as his other attacks and didn't really leave any lasting effects which sucked. "Balls."

The Second Ice Elemental would spin around and as it went to attack, it would miss its target as he would be healed. The Third Ice Elemental would do the same thing in almost the exact same fashion after it had been struck. Both of the Ice Elemental's would turn themselves around and place themselves a few feet from one another, aiming themselves at the players once more, readying themselves.

Lee would laugh and jump slightly as the female would take a hold of his backside to which he would chuckle. "Hey, that is full metal bad @ss back there." The First Ice Elemental would soon find death to which Lee would smile at its death. As Piera would point it out that they were down one more enemy, he would nod. "Yeah, now we just have to make the others to follow suit." To her reply to them having to do the same a few more times, he would nod in agreement in an almost serious manner. She would then go on to attack the Third Ice Elemental to which Lee would aim to try and do the same but miss in his attack and would shake his head in an almost disgrace. "My family is ashamed."

Lee would shift his weight to one side as he would place his hands onto his hips as the player would call himself Outlander to which Lee would reply. "Well met Outlander, a pleasure to met ya. Lee's the name." He then looked down at his feet as if something was supposed to be there but gave way to pause. He would raise one leg and then the other as he would look around himself for something and then look back to Outlander. "I had another name to introduce but currently gonna have to put that on hold till she shows up again." It would be then that the player would inquire just what it was that Lee was doing on this side of town on this particular floor to which he would reply in kind. "Currently, just twiddling my thumbs looking for conversation to be completely honest and forward. You have been picked out to be that target."

Lee would listen to the on goings of the party around him as Yinangi would speak about needing to train a bit more before she could contribute action toward her enemies. "That sounds like the best idea, work onward and upwards." Vigilon would aim to attack but miss his target to which Lee would then call out. "You okay over there?" He would then look over to Benjamin as he would strike at the Shadow Raven and hit it to which Lee would throw his shield arm out with a thumbs up. "Sweet." Lee would then move forward and swing his sword at the bird but as it seemed to happen with the rest of the group, the darkness and the Raven itself with the added weight of the armor, his missed as well. "Well, darn." He would look down at the end of his sword and tilt his head as he would raise it and notice that there was nothing but empty space.

Lee would nod his head in agreement as he was told that it was simply alike for the bird more than anything. "That's cool, that's cool." It was then that they had found the target they were looking for. At least, for only a moment as the would be creature turned hostile and attacked the group. Vigilon would be the first to strike at the now would be monster. Then after, Benjamin would warn that the creature was heading in Lee's direction to which Lee would raise his shield. "First n foremost, I have jack for squat in terms of offense but in place of that." The armored player would let out a defiant roar and would be surrounded by a green light that would emanate forward to lock the raven's attention to him. "I've got the ability to tank." Everyone else seemed rather adept in the more damage dealing, Vigilon the most thus far.

             Enemies:

Shadow Raven: HP 44/80, 24 DMG {Stunned}

Lee would chuckle as Piera's solid demeanor cracked and fell apart before him in a fit of giggles and as she called him out on his comment, Lee would pull his elbows into his sides to try and make himself more solid and angular. "I am a box ghhoosstttt that lets people touch my boxness~" She would then complain about his hate score over her own to which he would simply raise his shoulders in a shrug. "Complain, complain, complain. Winning is winning no matter how it is done. And I am winning." It was then that the spear user would then unleash yet another sword art against one of the Ice Elementals and would then ask if that was what he wanted. Lee would then raise his own sword and dive forward to give a simple slash at the creature as well. "Yes actually, just need to do that a couple more times."

The First Ice Elemental would suddenly begin to move as the status effect would wear off but as it began to move, it suddenly shattered from the bleed effect. The Second Ice Elemental would continue to be frozen in place as the Third Ice Elemental would lash out after being struck at but land a shot against the tank but at the cost of striking the shield with its thorns.

Lee would chuckle as the female player would throw out the option of him simply not dying to which he would look back as her and then look back at himself. "I'm still here aren't I? Totes not in the what you would call 'dead state' and am very much still alive...." He would then give way to pause as he would let a smile creep onto his face. "Or am I? I am a ghhhoooossstttt~ Maybe even a boooxxxx gghhhooossttt~" She would then speak of healing him one more time which would cause him to glow from the healing being done which he would then use to increase his ghostlyness. "Hey, I just love being hated, it is like a valentines gift but not." And as she would ask if he would stop getting the hate, he would swing his sword to strike at the second Ice Elemental which he would miss entirely. "Nah, gotta keep at it. You just have to kill them faster and get more hate than me. That shouldn't be all that hard."

The First Ice Elemental would simply float and take the damage that would almost be enough to defeat it. The Second Ice Elemental would round up once more and thrust itself at the player yet again, though this time it would get caught again by the shield causing it to become frozen once more. The Third Ice Elemental would pick itself up one more time from its mistake and aim to strike at the armored man but, as it had time and time again, it would fail in its attempts.

Lee would chuckle as Piera would throw out the fact that IF was a good thing to add in there. She would then speak about wishing the battle would end sooner rather than later and Lee was rather inclined to wish the same. Lee would then suddenly shift from a strike by one of the elemental and it would hit a bit harder than he had thought and it wasn't just one, another would come to strike at him as well and he wouldn't even notice his own health till Piera would call out his name in a frantic manner which would cause him to check his own bar. The little flashing bar would cause him to grimace as Piera would stop her own attacking and rush to him and then, his health would begin to increase but before she could continue, Lee would raise his sword and let it slash at the first Ice Elemental with great force "You Little Fu*ker!" It was then that Piera would add that she wished to take the hate for the time being to which Lee would pause and look back to her and laugh hesitantly. "Hehe, well, maybe you should start striking accurately."

The First Ice Elemental would simply float as the sword would crash onto it and it would begin to pause further, a bit of blood flowing from the blade of the armored man. The Second Elemental would simply float as well, un-moving but the wish to do so still there. The Third Elemental would shake violently and charge but, as it had before, miss its target completely yet again.

"Yes! Thorny, Bleeding and Paralyzing walls!" The female lance user would then comment on the time it was in which he would look to the sun and squint at the light. He would raise his shield to block the sun as she would add that she wasn't sure about the boss they had come after. "Yeah, not too sure about it either. Also given this little mess. We will see how things go after we are done." He would then watch as Piera would let loose a sword skill and it would smash into the Ice Elemental with great force and it could be seen cracking and snapping. Lee would draw his sword back and continue "Well, maybe if you can keep that up, we might just be able too." He would take a step back and was about to thrust when his foot would slide against the snow and cause his thrust to miss its target completely as he would add there after "Though, I would kinda wish this would have gone faster."

The First Ice Elemental would crack from the lancer's attack and would begin to shake violently as it would begin to frost over and thrust itself at the now exposed tank, slamming into the man and sending him back but twitching once more from the shield's paralyzing effects. The Second Ice Elemental would raise and mimic the first's actions and charge the man once more, dealing the same blow and reaping the same effects from it. The Third Ice Elemental would try and do as the others have but it wasn't anywhere close enough to even get close to hitting the man.

Lee would listen to his female companion as she would speak of needing something to increase her ability to strike an enemy and would add that some damage wouldn't hurt. "You do that, Imma keep up with the heath and damage mitigation. Full force or more over, none of the force. Just a solid wall. A wall made of more durable walls." Piera would then begin to complain that he as a tank did more than herself to which he would pause and simply turn toward her and swing his sword at the monster blindly at his side which missed completely "Now, just think for a second what you just said." She promptly added that if she were able to strike them, they woudln't last long and that by the time the creatures die, the game would be finished. "Don't you dare talk such blasphamy!"

"Yeah, I know right. I'm like the remainder in a fraction, not important." Lee would then move his hands behind himself and interlock his fingers. Piera would then continue to ask just what it was that needed to be decided in order for them to advance to which he would nod in agreement that he too wished for a not large wedding. When they were handed a list of options, Lee would scan over the letters and options given to them. The options would mainly involve the size of the wedding and Piera would ask just whom they should invite.

She would bring up the idea of inviting her guild to which Lee would shrug his shoulders "Sure, I don't think I have that many friends so by all means though, how many would that entail? Not aiming for breaking the bank." She would then bring up the fact that they needed a best man and maid of honor to which Lee would simply throw out "Jomei or Calrex." He waited for a moment as Piera would send a message to someone. Piera would bring up food and if it should be buffed to which Lee would shake his head "Nah, normal food should suffice. I always found the buffed to be too strong in flavor. Normal food works."
