Brice

Brice's hear perks up as he hears his companion's shout and stands back up reom his gathering. He sighs, having not found anything of use to him and looks around for his friend. He wouldn't have to search for him shough, as Takao cmoes out from some bushes with a grin on his face. "Well that didn't take very long." The boy was actually surprised at how quickly his friend had found the item. Not because he thought the monster would be too stong, but because Takao had said that it might be pretty hard to get it to drop. 

The boy opens up the trade offer sent from his friend and accepts the item. He opens up his inventory to examine it. "I'm still not sure how a plant monster ovule can be a medicine ingredient, but I suppose it is just a game." Brice looks back over to Takao. "How about we head back over to the town. Hopefully the npc will be where it last was." He begins to head off and beckons Takao to follow him. "Let's go."

Brice stands up and grabs his sword off the ground. "Thanks for that." The boy looks a little dissapointed with himself. "I guess I am a little glad that you came over when you did. I wouldn't have wanted to be there when those other three got here." He sheathes his sword and dusts himself off. A pop-up alert appears in front of Brice, notifying him of the trade request from his friend. "Thanks for the gear by the way." The boy tries to sound grateful, but there is a hint of negativity in his voice. Nevertheless, he opens up his menu and equips his new items. "Okay then. I guess it shouldn't bee too hard to find the varient then." Brice looks up at his health guage as it slowly regenerates. "I think I should wait a little bit and wait to regenerate before looking for this thing. Maybe I'll look around for some herbs and other crafting materials whild I wait to finish healing up. You can look for the variant while I heal up if you want." With that , Brice heads walks around looking for patches of herbs and other plants. The search didn't take too long. After a little bit of searching, he was able to find a mushroom patch. Unfortunatly, the only mushrooms he could find there were almost completely rotted out. "Eww. I'm not gonna be using those for any types of experimenting."

I dig, sorry. I'm basically oblivious to these little mistakes that I make. Just fixed them.

"Time for some more experimenting." To switch things up, Brice grabs some herbs and materials that he's never used before. Maybe he's be able to make something new. This time the herbs that he takes a dark colored mushroom, a brown herb, a fern-like plant, and an green herb with a bluish tint to it. When the boy mixes the mushroom with some water, it turns the liquid black and thick with a consistancy similar to that of jello. "Okay then. That could either be okay or extremely bad." He ways the chances in his head, but decides to just get rid of it. "Not taking that chance." Brice then adds each of the other herbs into their own bottle of water. The first turns a brown color just a bit lighter than the herb, the second a light green, and the third tuns a mint-like color. "Well. It's nothing great, but it's alright."

Brice readies his materials and tools as he usually does and prepares to get his hads dirty. He speaks to himself. "Alright. Lets see if we can get that order done today." He takes the moss he had used yesterday and, while taking the solvent, realized that the one he had used for the over-health and the one for the safeguard were different. He shrugs and adds the moss to the solvent that had been used for the safeguard potion, succesfully crafting a safecuard potion. Then, the young alchemist takes out an odd looking purple mushroom and takes the cap of it off, putting it to the side. He crushes the stem of the mushroom up and adds it to the leftover solvent used for the safequard potion. As it settles, he cuts up and adds the stem into another solvent. The bursts with an explosion of bubbles. After wiping away the bubbles so he could see, Brice turns back to the other solution. It had a similar result, but instead of exploding, the bubbles just slowly come out of the beaker it was in. "Maybe I should just go bacl to what I know works for sure." Brice goes back to some of the basics and takes out a medical herb, grinds it up, and adds it to a pot of boiling water. After a bit, the water becomes red and the boy bottles it.

"This feels like a good day for experimenting. Now let's see if I can replicate what I did the other day." Brice goes over to his materials and picks out a few herbs. "Let me think... I remember using this before." He grinds up all the herbs into a fine powder and dumps it all into a large pot of boiling water. He watches the powder dissolve right after he pours it. "Well... That isn't it." Brice thinks back to what he had done the other day to make the perfect item. He snaps his fingers, remembering what he had done. The boy repeats what he had done yesterday, taking the moss that he had used before, crushes it up, and adds it to a solvent. This time, instead of turning white, the liquid turned a bright blue. "Hmm. Thhat's different." He shrugs. "I guess it still looks good." Next, Brice grabs a different herb and crumples it into a bottle of a solution. He then tastes it and begins to burp uncontolably. "Oh geez. What is this?"

"Thank you vey much. I'll get started on your order right away. You'll recieve a message once you order has been completed." Brice accepts the Col and crafting materials and gets to work right away. He began by grinding up some herbs into a fine powder. Since he always keeps. A pot of boiling water nearby, the young alchemist could start his experiments right away. He began to pour some of the ground up herbs into the pot. Unfotunatly, they had no desired effect and simply dissolved in the water. Thankfully, he had only poured a small amount of the herbs, so he was able to keep most of the powder. He switched out the herbs with some moss. After pulling out a different solvent, he crushes up the moss and adds a it into the solvent, little by little. A few moments after adding it, the moss began to dissolve, turning the liquid a subtle white. "Wow. I'm going to have to remember how to do that."

Brice opened up his menue and looked as his messages. Takao still hadn't responded to his message. Maybe something had come up and he wasn't able to come to the festival. He hoped that was the case and that his friends hadn't simply stood him up. Although, maybe this was a good thing. Maybe he might be able to meet someone else that might be able to help him through this crazy world. The boy begins to walk around, taking in the sights. There were so many different things to see and do. Streetside booths were handing out food and souvineres, while others had different games to play. As Brice walks past one booth, an elderly man calls out to him from behind the stand. "Hey kiddo. Come over here." Brice looks around to see if the man was calling out to him and not anyone else. "Yes you. You wanna try to win a prize?" The boy walks over to the man's booth to se what he meant. The booth had a wooden board with three throwing darts lined up on it. On the back wall were an asortment of warmly colored balloons, blown up and hung onto the wall. "Three chances to pop a balloon. Pop one and win a prize." The man gestures to a variety of knicknacks, toys, and masks hung up on the roof of the booth. "What do you say. Wanna give it a try?" Brice shrugs. He had nothing else to do. Besides, a particular mask among the prizes caught his eye. Maybe he could win it. "Sure.  I'll try it out." The boy picks one of the three darts on the plank of wood. The man jestures for him to take a few steps back. "Back up to that line there." Brice looks down and sees a chalk line on the ground and backs up so he stands behind it. He steadies his hand and aims a bit above one of the balloons. He trows the dart and it sails on an arc right into a red balloon, bursting it with a loud pop. The man laughs. "Well would you look at that. Got it on the first trry. Now, which one would you like?" Brice points to one of the masks on the masks hanging from the ceiling. "I think I'll have that one." The man takes down and hands it to him. "Here you are. Have a wonderful festival." Brice walks off with a smile on his face and a mask in his hands. "Maybe i should do this more often." He begins to wander around, looking to see if there might be anything else that he could do.

Brice walks through the town, looking around and marveling at the scenery and people around him. The cold, frozen winter was finally giving way to a wam and beautiful Spring. The once barren trees' cherry blossoms had finally begun to bloom, covering the trees in a beautiful coat of pink. All NPC's had changed from their normal clothes into more traditional kimonos and robes. It was facinating to see all of this culture intgrated into the game's world. The boy never goes to a social event without someone to accompany him. Luckily, one of this fiends had agreed to meet him there. Unfortunatly Brice is unable to find him and opens up his friend menu and sends a message to his friend, Takao, telling him that he had just arrived nearby the park entrance.

"Oh okay. That's good to hear."Brice chuckles a bit while still keeping an eye on his opponent. "It must be pretty easy for you to go around places like this with you gear and experience."The boy lunges at the plant monster with his blade. As he gets near it, the Nepent trips him with its vine-like arm. He falls and his sword clangs on the ground next to him. Brice looks up to see that his health guage is nearly halfway empty. Suddenly the small plant-like creature began to look a bit more intimidating than when he had begun the fight. "Um... I think I could. Use a little help over here." Brice calls out to Takao, hoping to get a little assistance.

"Yeah. I'm alright. It just caught me by surprise." Brice calls out to his ally, keeping his focus on the current enemy as to not be take off guard again. "Are you alright? Did it get you?" The boy knew that Takao was most likely fine, but it wouldn't hurt to just check. After responding, he jumps forward and attempts a jab at his Nepent's body. It hops to the side, dodging the jab, and lashes out with both of its limbs. Brice ducks and slides away from the attack, clearing one vine and barely dodging the other one. He mutters to himself. "Now if I can only manage to hit this thing again."

Today's batch of crafts were supprisingly good compared to what Brice is normally used to. The batch wasn't excelent, but it was still good. The young alchemist felt very proud of himself for not having had made any bad items today. One of the potions was purple, another grey, and the last was clear. Brice takes a sip of the purple to taste it, but spits it right pack out due to the gross flavor that reminded him of grape medicine. Thinking about how bad the first potion he tasted, Brice decides not to taste the other two potions.

Brice hears Takao's words and turns his head to him with a smile. "Thanks!" His eyes widen as he sees a strange figure approaching his ally. Another Little Nepent had taken this opportunity to sneak up behind Takao. "Takao! Behind you!" Before Brice could turnn his attention back to his opponent, it had struck him fromm behind. "Damn it..." The boy mutters to himself. He picks himself up and charges at the plant-like monster. He runs past the creature, striking it on its "face."

As Brice takes care of his Nepent, Takao has his own sneak up on him. Although Brice had yelled a warning to his ally, the monster was still able to use the element of surprise to succesfully strike the other boy.

Brice cracks his knuckles and begins to experiment with his various tools and materials. After about ten minutes of crafting, the end product was a cherry red potion. Almost emidiatly after crafting this potion, a pop-up appears in front of Brice stating that he had ranked up and had become a Rank 2 Alchemist. A bright smile spreads across the boys face, realizing that he is now another step closer to being able to help those in the front lines.

Brice takes a deep breath and gathers himself. As he does this, the Nepent takes the opportunity to attempt to strike him. It lashes out at him with one of its arms, but Brice see this and is able to duck under it just in time to dodge it. In a fluid motion straight from the dodge, he dashes at the plant monster and thrusts his sword at it. His sword strikes the creature's "torso", causing it to be knocked back a little bit. "Finally. There we go." Brice mutters to himself.

Brice relaxes a bit more from his blocking stance and thinks to himself briefly. Well this is what I get for not going out very much. Let's try that again. He lunges forward at the monster once again, but the Nepent dodges to the side and attempts to whim him once more. Anticipating that it woulld attack again right after his attack, he hits the vine out of the way with his sword before it could hit. Dang it. I should've gotten a little bit of practive in before this. I really need to shake off the dust. Brice begins to grow somewhat annoyed with how he keeps missing and only hopes that this is just a fluke. Still, he cant help but chuckle a little bit that he and his opponent had each missed twice in a row. "Don't worry. I've still got this."

I feel so awkward being the lowest level player here right now. Would I have a good amount of time to level up some before this things goes down?

Most definitely! I have placed you in the team.

For anyone else that's interested/still on the fence, please feel free to join. If we get enough interest we can always develop another mission or open more slots in the existing one to get you fitted in!

Yay, thanks! I kinda also think that being in the S&R team will allow Brice to get through something without having to face a powerful enemy. If only I hadn't gone on that accidental 4 month-long hiatus, maybe he would be strong enough to help on the assault team or something. lol
