"Nee-san, Nee-chan, Kaa-san, Tou-san... "

Violet held her hands together, Ember clasped between them in it's bladed form. She closed her eyes as she spoke under her breath, a quiet plea through the echo of the howling winds around them.

"Be with me, give my heart the strength to endure this fight. Give me the strength to keep the others alive, to keep them from dying under my care." One by one, each member of her team flashed through her mind. Oscar, Freyd, Yuki, Kataoka, and Ariel. The people that she was in charge of keeping around, and supporting the efforts of both Freyd and Yuki as they worked hard to keep the boss off of the rest of them.

A raging, tumultuous storm was sieging the inside of the arena, belying the difficulty of the fight that would lay ahead of the eighteen frontliners that had gathered here today. She hummed to herself, nodding at the rest of her teammates as they started walking inside.

Well this was going to be a rough one, wasn't it?

Everyone had made their moves, striding deeper into the boss arena with wary gazes, scanning for any sort of detail that might give away any potential gimmick that the boss might have. Any sort of clue, any sort of potential trap, something that would make their lives even the slightest bit easier. That would mean that they could make it out of here alive. Violet looked over at the other teams, each of the many faces surrounding her here being ones that she knew.

ones that she was now tasked with keeping topped off.

"Alright listen up, All of ya!" she looked at the rest of her party, a golden flare starting to build on her hand as she strode forward. Her hand tapped against each one of her teammates that she passed, the golden light leaving a handprint on the spot that she touched. "Freyd, Yuki, and I will be trying to keep the rest of you alive. This isn't going to be easy, and it never is nor will it ever be. Ariel, Kat, Oscar, you guys know what you're supposed to do. Hit the boss hard and fast, and don't let it touch you - and most importantly of all!"

the yellow light abruptly melted to a vivid pearly white - shimmering like a diamond that had a bright light pouring over it. "None of you are allowed to die, not while I'm still standing here!" The light shifted from the spots she'd touched, down towards the weapons of her teammates, wreathing each and every one in the same prismatic glow. "If anyone so much as THINKS about it and the damn boss doesn't get your ass, I'll beat you senseless later ya hear?!"

the dark expanse that stretched over the floor in front of them rippled, warbling in the calm of the raging storm that had hounded the boss arena, a stark contrast to the peace that had followed the initial turmoil. A figure had slowly started to rise from within, its gaze trained on each and every one of those who happened to be present.

It was the signal for the raid to finally commence.

The fight for floor 30 has begun.

"I'm here, I'm Here!"

Violet was sprinting as fast as she could into the entry hall before the boss room, panting as she tried to catch up with the rest of the frontliners. The frontlines had been running themselves ragged trying to keep the monsters of the floor at bay, especially given the lack of safe zones on the floor. NPC's and players alike were forced into a constant struggle, warring against abominations, likely formed from the remnants of the shadow - the colossal threat of a boss that had tried to swallow up the entirety of Aincrad during that raid. The frontliners had fought valiantly, and had been successful.

but there were still repercussions that they were being forced to handle

This was going to be her very first raid without working as a DPS, instead hanging up her offensive gear for a more supportive build that would benefit her entire team. Freyd and Yuki were more than capable of being able to support her ability to keep the party topped off on health, and they should feasibly be able to keep status effects off of everyone else much easier - especially since Freyd had given her the heads up that he was taking up the healing skill to supplement her during this. It was something that Violet had been immensely grateful for.

She skidded to a stop in front of her team, wheezing slightly. Her old red cloak had been traded out for one that was seemingly more festive, meant more as a defensively-tooled garment that would help supplement her lower-levelled healing skill, thought the rest of her gear had remained the same. "Sorry I'm so late everyone! I got caught up doing some last minute prepping, but I'm here now!" she wheezed, a bead of sweat dripping down her face as she gave her team a thumbs up. "Happy to work with all of you again, and I'll do my best to keep each and every one of you alive!" Violet quickly pulled a portion of Freyd's gugnir, and scarfed down the offered Terra-Firma Scale. She'd already eaten the rest of her buff foods, all that had been left were the items Freyd had brought that she'd needed to grab.

Violet smiled as she watched wulfrin and ciela easily take down half of the horde, and stunlock the rest of them in quick succession - fast and ruthlessly efficient, a trait that was always nice to hone. "Four to one, Wulfrin?" Violet charged up a sword skill, before hurling Ember at her enemies, the bladed fan easily cutting into the remaining hellhounds as it curved through its arc. "how about four to None!" the other four hellhounds exploded, easily handling the objective of the quest in a matter of moments.

"Nice teamwork you two, keep it up!" Violet caught Ember, sliding it into its holster. "Sometimes it isn't about doing a huge burst of damage, sometimes we just need to use our utility to get things done. Like stunning a bunch of chump mobs to give your team a reprieve, or to set them up for a nice bit of waveclear!"

"Wulfrin's right, don't bother with sword arts right now!" Violet winced as she tried to steady herself, still a bit woozy from the blow from before. "You're here mainly for the experience boost, yeah? Just sit back, chillax and watch all the fireworks!"

Violet winced as she saw Wulfrin's arm smoking slightly. "Pace yourself, Wulfrin! Don't push yourself too hard!" she called, running back towards the King, with Ember drawn and in its bladed form. "We just need to push through the last little bit of health this guy has, then we can get the hell outta here!" she swung as hard as she could, a nice splash of damage hitting the king, though not as meaty as the blow that she had done before. She quickly backed up, a bead of sweat trickling down her face as the king started charging forward, moving towards star with enough speed that the blonde man wasn't able to dodge in time. "Yo, you good over there star!? Watch yourself!"

"I'm quite doubtful that he would have lied about something like this" Violet sighed, getting to her feet. "What benefit would there be, after all? Panic? Fear? Despair?" She looked back at both of them with a quiet smile, shaking her head. "This may be a glorified prison for us all, but it is a gilded one. One of whimsy and beauty we couldn't ever fathom in the real world. What reason would he have to lie about it?" she leaned down, dipping her hand into the still-warmed sand, feeling the individual grains sliding against her virtual skin - gritty and dry just like the real thing.

"This world feels so painfully real, so why would there not be a penalty for death?"

Violet stood up straight again, still smiling softly. "For as much as he enjoys laughing at our pain and suffering... it feels as though he put in genuine efforts to make us feel at peace with our new lives, making it comfortable for us." She gestured at the fishing gear that the three of them were carrying. "We fight for our lives every day on the frontlines, and yet we can still set time aside and take a break, playing in the water with friends, or going fishing in unique spots, or even cooking foods that are uniquely reminiscent of home."

"Even as a mere fantasy, this world is still very much like our home one. We live, and breathe, and die just the same."

Violet felt... stuck. She had been kicked out of her house for the day by Akane, who had all but dragged her towards the teleport plaza on floor 9, telling her that she needed to actually keep moving instead of lurking inside of her room. "It isn't healthy to lock yourself inside, and you know it. Go do something, literally anything other than mope about in here!" It wasn't doing her any favors by acting this way, and he had gotten tired of watching her mope. Thus, she'd decided to go to one of her comfort floors, good old floor 5. The ever-shifting sands that comprised the entirety of the desert floor provided A much needed change of pace when she was feeling particularly untethered. The gentle roar of the sandy sea was like a lullaby to her.

She was wearing her more casual gear, the deep dusty pink color of her kimono contrasting nicely with her hair and turtleneck - both of which were a deep bluish-black color. Akame had draped herself around her neck, the fluffy feathered dragon having fallen asleep in the slowly receding warmth of the virtual sun. Violet silently equipped her favorite cloak, the dark red fabric draping over both herself and her familiar.

She eventually came across what seemed to be some sort of a bandit camp, a few players. She didn't really recognize any of them, all of them completely foreign to her. two people with dark purple - a man and a woman, a man with dark red hair, a woman with a slightly lighter shade of red hair, and man with blonde hair. Each of them were slowly converging on each other, some of them even talking amongst themselves. One by one, violet scanned them with the tracking skill, her dark red eyes shimmering a vibrant green for a moment each time she activated the skill. Then, once she was satisfied, she drew closer, the cloak hiding most of her figure. With a flick of a menu, her mask appeared, half-hanging off of her face - the dark metal of the sugar-skull visage helping her focus.

After she had drawn close enough for them to see and hear her, she opened her menu, summoning a basket of Liquor of Light that made an audible clinking noise. She lifted a bottle out, popping the cork as she drank down the damage potion. After she'd finished, she offered the basket to the group. "Anyone thirsty?"

The duel was finally underway, and both of them charged forward, weapons drawn and at the ready. Night was fast, as always - weaving and dodging from her swings as Violet tried her best to hit her with Ember, the bladed fan just barely missing her each and every time.

And then, like a viper coiled in the sand - NIGHT struck.

Violet winced as she was hit hard, NIGHT quickly taking advantage of her slow movement to hit her with a rather devastating stun - rendering her unable to move at all for a short moment. NIGHT had gotten stabbed by something that was hidden within the shifting sands, taking off a chunk of her health as well. she gritted her teeth, a pained smile on her face as she looked over at her fellow frontliner. "Nice... Stun..!" she rasped, struggling to fight off the status effect. "And we can still.. make it fun.. to watch!" 

Violet smiled as she stepped forward in the arena, humming as she listened to the introduction that Kindling was giving for them. "Guess I'm not living down that Finale, huh?" she laughed, checking over her holster to make sure everything was secured. She listened to the rest of the spiel, before bowing to her opponent. "Let's have fun, yeah?" She did a few stretches, before pulling out Ember, and stooping into a crouch. Night was one of the most formidable players in this tournament, if not throughout the entire frontlines. Even Freyd would have trouble keeping up with her. So the odds of her actually winning this fight were rather slim, but she was at the very least going to try and put up a decent fight.

After all, the tournament was meant to be a spectacle. The very least that she could do was give them a show.
