Gambit

A glittering topaz, gifted to the party for helping slay... the evil dragon? Or something? Right? Gambit wasn't entirely sure -- he was only one quest in, and he'd already lost the plot. Now the good(?) dragon was telling them about another dragon that needed to be killed(?) and Gambit, at this point, was at a complete loss. "Um, okay. Thank you," Gambit said, accepting the gem. Ariel seemed to be taking the lead, which he was pretty appreciative of. He still wasn't sure about Acanthus, though. Actually, he wasn't sure about either of them -- had any of them even introduced themselves? Maybe i

But Yeff was prepared, now, and Gambit was unpleasantly surprised to find that the dark elf warrior's defenses would not be so easy to overcome a second time. Gambit didn't notice this until it was a little too late, however -- thinking he was striking an easy target quickly, Gambit rushed forward and unleashed another wild swing into the roaming boss of Floor Four. Expertly sliding his rapier across Gambit's thrust and sliding out of the way, Yeff managed to avoid the worst of the blow (most of it, actually). Then set off balance, Yeff stepped forward and elegantly stabbed Gambit through the

The dark elf had his rapier extended, a scowl plainly across his face as he charged -- and Gambit confidently stood his ground, grinning ear to ear. How many times had he defeated the Floor One Field Boss now? Had to have been dozens! And he was much stronger now than he was then. Gambit took his time to respond, but he was definitely quick enough to do so. In one swift motion, he drew his sword, swatted the elf's slim little rapier aside, and scored a powerful slash across Yeff's torso. The dark warrior spun around in a fit of rage, shouting something in a language that Gambit didn't understa

"Alright, Alela..." He slid the spyglass shut and the item turned to dust in his hands. "I think this is as good a spot as any." He hadn't actually gotten to take a great look through the spyglass, but then again, he didn't need to. Half these floors felt the same: yeah, yeah, this is the like... plains-slash-mountains-slash-forest floor. Right. And there's like, a bunch of woodland beasts, and maybe like elves and stuff. Sure. "Alright!" He grinned and clasped his hands together. Alela jumped a few inches higher into the air, surprised. "Let's get you trained, huh? And I think the best

He had to have read the message about sixteen times to make sure it was what he thought it was. Free at 1 p.m.? Boy, am I! Once he'd confirmed the validity of the message (how exciting!) he hurriedly typed up a response. GAMBIT: SIR YES SIR! O7 It was only after he'd clicked send that he began to worry that maybe emoticons didn't reflect well on his maturity. Oh, no. Had he made a grave mistake? For the next two or three hours, Gambit went back and forth on whether he should send a follow-up message (stupid, stupid, stupid) or if he should make up an excuse (his dog died?) and

"Hehe... yeah..." It was hard for him to hide the fact he was positively beaming at the praise, so he just didn't. But they were on the trail, now, and Gambit fell into line quickly. The two of them took the lead and Gambit took the rear, and he took his job as the party's caboose quite seriously. The terrain narrowed into a natural funnel of stone outcroppings and sloped ground. The path beneath them was beaten down through repeated use, and the creature responsible for the well packed earth at their feet laid wounded in the center of the clearing. Gambit immediately noticed some signs

wowza! Familiar for evaluation:

"Young man? I'm like... fully an adult. And also," Gambit scoffed, buffing his nails on his shoulder, "I'd be more worried about the dragon, eh?" Ariel chimed in too. Something about a leash made him frown. He was in too deep now. He had to fight back! These ladies were questioning his capabilities! His super confident strong buff guy capabilities! "Uh, I think I'm leaning towards the former." Fearless definitely had a nice ring to it. Two things were for sure, though: he wasn't an adult, regardless of how much time he might have perceived to pass here in Aincrad, and he hadn't read

"Aw man, what? That's so lame..." No fight? Gambit was crestfallen... but he recovered quickly. Not five seconds after the news, he was back with a fresh bounce in his step. There was no way there was a dragon quest without there being a requirement to slay a dragon. Not in a fantasy game like this. He had to give himself a mental pat on the back for piecing that together, though -- but he was careful not to come off as too smug. Gambit would keep it to himself for the meantime. They'd catch on sooner or later. He couldn't help but pick up on the weird vibes the two girls were givi
