Anemone

"Maybe because we are both special." she chortled slightly with a hand over her mouth. Anemone nodded to her new friend, "A girl's day out. I don't think I had ever experienced something like that before. With a guild full of men, mostly front liners, I don't think a single one of them would enjoy just a day of going out and shopping. But I am sure the two of us will have loads of fun." Anemone beamed with a bright smile, her cheery exposition could not fade while in the presence of Raeze. The day had turned out quite fantastic, at least for her most of all, earning a friend and having another girl to talk to. Perhaps she was also more experienced in the boy's department as well. Anemone knew next to nothing about men or their desires. Well, she knew what some of their desires were as lewd as they were. But some had come off as romantics as well.

It was clear Anemone had been daydreaming a little, her eyes getting lost in the vast openess of the scenery as she stood there gnawing slightly on her bottom lip. A cool breeze had passed over shuffling some of her hair into her face which snapped her attention. She blinked several times and apologized while using her square nails to peel back the hair over her ear, "Sorry. I sometimes get lost in my thoughts. Where were we now..."

Finding some resources to her trained eyes was as easy as a snap of the fingers most of the time, this discovery was no different as she was able to find another great hulking lot of more materials. It was for a good purpose, helping her friend getting started with her business eventually and getting some materials for her equipment set. @Raeze

The woman nodded as she had taken a step back and started to move, but there was a pang of guilt. Why would he just jump in front of her like that? He was a protector as well and Anemone was always being protected, it was time for her to do something about that as well. She had been asked by the player Mack to join the Knights, and she had already agreed, but she had yet to gain her colors or taken her Oath so to speak. But as a Knight now, she could not leave this player by his lonesome.

So she turned around and kept her distance at the very least and shot her hands forward as the healing bloom of her skill encased him in light as she had begun to heal the light wounds that were placed over by the Ancient Tiger. She had simply wanted to look for materials, but she ended up catching a mob instead. She would beat herself over it, but she needed to stay strong for both their sakes. Because if this player had failed in protecting her, then she would be the next dinner course.

@Hirru - [895 / 895 HP | 77 / 88 EN] (-11 EN, -69 HP)
Anemone - [780 / 780 HP | 69 / 78 EN] (+179 HP to Hirru, -9 ENG)

Ancient Tiger - [252 / 450 HP | 135 dmg] (-198 hp)

"Hello, Sir Macradon. It is good to see you and who is that little friend behind you?" The woman tilted her head to the side and placed both hand son her knees again to look at the creature, it must have been his familiar. She smiled with her thick lavender lips and straightened herself up. With her arms tucked now behind her, she smiled at the two guild maters and shook her head, "Time to look for some materials then. If you guys need any of them, you just let me know. I got a whole bunch in storage. And I am sure with some time, we'll find a whole bunch more!"

The woman laughed with one hand over her face, she was usually not a giddy woman but she had been more proactive with her adventures as of late. She had been doing things she never thought she would be doing and with one of the most important guilds in the game. How she found her place here was anyone's guess, unfortunately, the Vice Commander had not been seen or heard from for awhile. She would have to do everything in her power to thank him again when the time came.

"I hope you both have been having a good day. I truly appreciate you calling me to come join you guys. I know another DPS would have been more efficient for your farming experience, but I don't want to hold you back if you plan on taking down mobs. I can search for materials in the area." It didn't take the expert Gatherer to find more of those same items, as she shoved a bunch of them in her satchel that had been over her shoulder and hip.

"Feel a little like Indiana Jones, huh?" she laughed again. @Hirru @Macradon

Anemone had held her hand out and moved along with the rest of the group without much slow down. They had started moving through the mobs like they were nothing and with the helps of the damage boost that the Sweeper had, they were able to just mow through the mobs without a second glance. Anemone had ran with the others and stopped far behind the others when they stopped at the next group. She swallowed hard and brought a hand over her face to sweep the the tendrils of white and crimson streaked hair from her eyes. She looked at the party screen and the HP, Macradon had made a valiant effort to charge them like a bullet, but he ended up with a miss also dispelling the last charge of Sharpness to him. Anemone had been a little low on energy, but she could get through this fight no problems. She would be able to reapply Sharpness in one round so she didn't think much about that.

However, the Jade Hunter was executing his attack which had struck a cord for the mobs to switch their attention to him. Her bright red eyes widened and she shot her hands forward charging it with a static blue aura. However before she could encase him in that same state, Hirru had looked at her and shook his head. She nodded in return and waited out the battle, perhaps someone might need it later. She had a lot to learn about strategy.

"Got the message!" the woman said panting slightly, her hands on her knees as she quickly made way towards the Hirru's spot. She huffed a bit as she looked at him with big red eyes, "Thanks for inviting me. I heard we are in need of some materials. Good thing you called on me. The exp-awooo!" the woman had nearly tripped on a rock, her clumsy nature getting the better of her and she was just standing still. That's what Anemone got for trying to look cool and confident. A faint blush on her face as she smiled with her lavender lips and brushed the long hair from her face.

She was still not a combatant, opting in for a strict build of Support and Healing mods, and for good reasons. They had helped out the others in the Labyrinth and that meant she was a player they could depend on. She would need no thanks of course, she just wanted to help and save them all. That is why she was here now, this was her calling. None sooner than she had started with the group of who or who would not come, the woman shifted her foot through the cavernous ground as it lit up with a sparkling glow. Red and greens of neon shot from the cracks in the floor as she had knelt down and collected many different kinds of objects that could be used for a variety of things.

"Off to a great start!"

"I got your back!" The woman had said as the electrical energy between her hands caused a white aura to form. Macradon had not lost too much HP, but every little bit mattered to the Healer and she would do everything in her power to keep them topped up in tip top condition. She hurled her hands outwards towards Macradon, restoring him back to full health. Now it was up to the follow up attacks from the Celestials; Itzal and Hikoru to end this battle. The trolls were only on there last legs so it wouldn't take much to finish them off.

When Macradon had been healed, Anemone pressed her hands to her chest and looked at everyone's status. There was no need to worry at this point, but it was always better to be cautious for the young Support character. With her hands steady and red eyes glinting at the bars, she would assume the back role once more and take a few steps back to make sure she was no in anyone's way.

@Hikoru

Eyes of the trolls had wandered from Hirru to Macradon as whom was the biggest threat in the party. Anemone knew that Macradon could handle the hits because he was garbed in some pretty large armor, however, Hirru was the Hunter of the Guild who probably was only wearing at best leather. With their attention divided between the two, perhaps the others could sneak in and decimate the remaining parts of their HP so that the others wouldn't have to worry about getting blind sided. Anemone was on all cool downs for the moment. So she was unable to buff him with her Barrier.

"Hang in there Hirru!" She would say with an alarmed voice, but she knew that her healing powers would help in a situation. It would be better to divide the damage rather than having them all attack Hirru. Her red eyes looked towards Itzal and Hikoru almost pleading for them to finish this fight quickly. Even it was a minimal amount of damage, she had rather not seen any. But for the time being, everyone was at full strength. But now, she honestly had nothing else to do but give a small cheer to the group for support.

@Hikoru

Finding dungeons on lower floors because you are a donator is incorrect. You are given a map that can be used on the lower floors, but then it poofs once its used. Just wanted to make that clear to individuals who might have interpreted that wrong.

OOC: you don't need to worry about that. I am here for you! <3

Anemone had tilted her head and drummed her finger against her bottom lip, "That is certainly a question I have not been asked of yet. I suppose if I were to wear anything like that, perhaps a bracelet. I don't have too many of those, or maybe even a ring. I do have some jewelry at home but..." the woman swept a long tress of hair from her face and smiled as she pulled it behind her ear, "I don't get out much to actually enjoy that stuff." The woman sighed a bit on remembering how much of a shelled creature she was back in the real world. For the first time ever, there were people who actually were looking up to her, seeing her as a friend and an ally. Those were the feelings she had always wanted and perhaps a few more uncertain knot feelings in her stomach when she was around certain people. It was a new world for her and she was just now discovering who she was inside and out. It was a great feeling.

With the call of Raeze, Anemone had moved fluidly from her position to see just what she had found. Bright smiles all around as she placed her hand on her hand and nodded her head, "Let's just hope where there is one..."

Anemone had delved further than she could reach and pulling a very long and twisting vine that seemed to have a slight sparkle to it. "Oh my. I pulled a big one. But just as I thought, there was much more to be gained." @Raeze

Tireless work had been set out on this Dungeon run. Anemone had not felt so alive in any battle before the new updates had been included and thanks to her new abilities, the Vanguard Sweeper of the Oaths was doing a good job of swatting down and clearing the floor away from the other members. Taking huge chunks of their HP away meant they had little to fear from the rest of the floor and with the protected services she was able to enlist with the aid of her skills, things were becoming all the more easier to get these map fragments. The group had taken a moment to consider their options and the best route. But she knew going straight through the belly of the beast was the best placed option they would have.

With her hands crackling with a dark red aura, the woman targeted her focus on Macradon once more, igniting his body with a fearsome glaze which soon would encase itself over his weapon of choice once more boosting his damage output. "There ya go, Macradon! Let's take down the next eight just as easily!" The woman then set off with the rest of the group, trying her best to keep up with the much more athletic players of the guild.

Once the last four enemies had perished, there was no hesitation in the group as they were moving at a quick rate. Swiftly they had bound from one set of enemies to the next with little or no downtime. With the efforts of how things were going, they were able to utilize the maximum use of their energy reservoirs and able to make a push. Anemone had not expected this to be a train of attacks, she had been use to defeating one group and then resting, but this was different on the front lines. Everyone here seemed to be motivated to finish this as quickly and efficiently as possible.

When they had arrived at the next set of mobs, it was once again Vanguard Lead Macradon going in for the charge but unlike last time, there was a small consequence. Those spiders have found weak points in his armor and cause his HP to drain a bit from their grueling attacks. Anemone, who was in the position of Healing and Support knew what that meant. Her hands began to glow a soft white light, electricity seemed to buzz through her finger tips as she moved her targeted array towards Macradon, sending him a bump in his HP. With a smile, she nodded to herself thinking that this was exactly what she needed to feel useful and thank goodness there was no whiplash from a failed attempt.

There was little time and wait for the guild members to sync up. Macradon, the lead Vanguard along with the Hunter threw themselves into the battle and fray with what appeared to be Hellish looking soldiers riding...spiders? Anemone titled her head to the side and gave a frowny face, "I am not sure what to make of those." she said in her state of confusion. Her vibrant oculars changed direction from the Spider Riders towards the party gauge and examined everyone's health and their stats. "Right. I can do this." Lifting her hands once more as a eerie blue light sparked between her hands. She would encase the lead acting Tank in a small Barrier to help with stifling the damage the would come at him.

Macradon was leading on both fronts as main attacker and as well taking the beating as the party's tank. "He's so brave." She said in a small, quiet voice as her hands targeted her team mate and guild member. There would be no slowing them down today, it would be an easy victory and together they could cage what they needed and get the information they needed to see about this next Boss.

@Itzal @Hikoru

Her small frame and legs had caught up with the group. She had speared her hair from her eyes and lifted the blonde from her sight and pushed it back behind her ear. Like a shadow or some form of mysterious force, she had been able to catch up with them. With her being so small it would be hard for anyone to notice unless they were instinctively looking for her. Lavender lips cracked into a smile as she hesitantly questioned what the focus was, "So we are splitting up from here it seems. I wish everyone good luck and safe travels."

Anemone had shot behind Hirru and Macradon, there didn't seem to be anyone else within their guild joining them. She had thought the Commander might, but he might be doing something more important helping keep this guild moving along. She looked at the Jade Hunter and the Templar, they had such cool titles. Perhaps it was too early for her to even be mentioned as a member yet. She felt like one, but she wasn't sure if she was really pulling her weight to show them that she should be in this guild.

"Looks like our group doesn't have a proper tank. But you guys don't need to worry, I'll back you up with my healing powers and a little more!" Her hands started to fill with a dark red energy as it began to crackle between her fingers. Targeting Macradon who would be leading in with the sweeping power of his Two Hander, she figured it would best to dump as much damage as possible into him for faster trash mob clearing. He would get a nice little boost in damage thanks to his Tier 3 avatar and things would be good to go for their opening battle.

Her smiled continued to represent her feelings as she looked over at Aereth and turned her face slightly when he said she looked 'hot.' She was never called such a thing in her life, but she was usually buried under bulky clothing to hide anything of what her body was showing off now. She had been such a fool for so many years that she had believed men were just not interested in her, and therefore she would have remained quiet little Anemone for the rest of her career here had it not been for the thoughts and actions of what would help her to blossom like she would. The encouragment of others found their way to her and she herself in the end had to make the decision to show herself. Though it was very embarrassing for her to be wearing such a skimpy looking bathing suit, she felt it was only right to help herself here and now. But there was a sudden spilling of thoughts, the way he acted towards her...was he into  her or was he just being friendly, perhaps she was trying too hard? Maybe she just really wanted him to like her.

Anemone had been chewing on her bottom lip, these quick and rapid thoughts scattered through her mind as she turned around to give him time to change into his duckie shorts. When the moments have passed she had turned and clapped her hands, "They look swimming on you, Aereth! Looks really cute!" Of course his body was magnified by the lean muscles he wore. There was something about it that was quite the turn on, she had been delving into her more impure thoughts as the day had passed between the two. She had recollected memories of her romance novels and how discreet the scenes were, and yet there were others that had been very detailed and embodied something Anemone had always dreamed about in her sleep. When Aereth had posed for her, she clapped her hands once again, her bright smile twinkling on her face.

"The duckies serve you the best justice, Aereth. I am so glad you decided to wear them." She had stood by his side, her rosy cheeks now highlighted by the slow dipping sun. "We should swim over to the water's edge if we wanna catch that sunset." The woman had began to move towards the water, her pink nailed toes slowly dipped into the water to get a feel for the temperature. It was nice and cold for a warm day like this, and being in the desert it was just the thing she needed, but it had made her shiver and grow goosebumps all over.

"The water is quite cold," she had mentioned, but no sooner did those words leave her mouth, she had dived right on in. The best way to get over cold water was just to shock your entire body to get used to it. When she rose to the surface, she brushed the long hairs from her pony-tail and smiled looking up at Aereth. She gave him a gesture to come in, "T-t-t-the wa-ter is fine," she said with cold stutters as her body was slowly getting used to the cool pool. She leaned back lightly and pushed off against the water as her body would raise and reflect sunlight over her water kissed chest causing her body to shimmer in the sparkling light. Her red eyes were still as sharp and bright as ever, even in the sunlight, but she wanted to get to that spot to see the sunset, she wanted that moment for herself and Aereth, because she still had so many questions on her mind to ask him. @Aereth

A dark blue aura cradled into her glowing hands as she knew what was coming next. She shook her head at Shield, knowing full well what was needed from her should this thing become more lively than it has been. Moving her target icon towards Beat, the dark blue aura began to spread over his body as a thin layer of mitigation started to grow around him, thus signaling a cold barrier of mitigation now on him. The energy died from her hands and she smiled, and gave a thumb's up to her allies in the battle. Now all she had to do was stay away from the massive wave of attacks that it might unleash and have everyone go home safely. The thoughts of going home after a successful strike to the Labyrinth Boss has brought another wave of pride over her as she stood side by side her Knights of the Blood Oath members, she wanted them at their very best and that meant she would go and sacrifice what she needed to see them rise to the top again.

Anemone was happy that Aereth had enjoyed the food she had made, it looked like he was taking a bit of everything for everywhere while she was being modest. The food had tasted really good, but she didn't want him to see her little 'fat girl' habits coming in full swing. So she had taken small bites and cleared her plate soon after. There was red wine, but she had wanted to save that for later tonight for something a little more special. And it had started to get a little cooler out as well, marking the sun would soon set over the horizon. "We could watch the sunset over there. We might end up getting a little wet, but I--" the woman looked down at her hands and her fingers and thumb began to fidget as looked back up at him, "I brought a bathing suit. If you wanted to take a swim and go over to watch the sunset. I haven't seen it first hand on this floor. And from the notes I have gathered it's one of the things couples do when they are usually here for a-a date." Her pale skin was usually just that, milky white but when she showed she was hot or flushed, there was a scatter of red that formed on her cheeks. That was happening right now, of course they could skip the entire thing if that wasn't what Aereth wanted to do.

She wanted to ask him some important questions as well that needed some answers because well, she was a woman and she needed to know a few things. The woman had stood up, with her belly full of food she felt a bit more relaxed if only just a bit. Being around Aereth made the butterflies in her belly swarm whenever he would look into her eyes. He was so attentive like that, and dreamy. She shook her head holding her face with both hands and smiled into them. She would walk behind the picnic area and she swiped open her menu once more and her inventory showed the medium sized tent. The seller had told her it would fit two people comfortably but there was no space in between meaning they might end up sleeping right next to each other.

The tent had appeared in a flat mess and Anemone had titled her head, "Do they actually expect us to pitch this thing ourselves?" She said walking around to one corner and sitting on her knees, there was a small pop indicator and she made an "oooh" sound. Poking the button allowed the tent to inflate on itself, reaching its height and looking very lovely. She had wondered if everything was set up on the inside. She unzipped the main flap and looked around, able to stand within it. Which was good. She bit down on her lower lip and she had quite the idea to make things super romantic...that is if things went well tonight for the two of them.

Anemone had turned around and started to prepare herself to get into her bathing suit, a few clicks here and there and she was bathed in the light to engulf her body in a cute two piece. Of course, this was the first time anyone would ever see her dressed like this. She never went swimming in the SAO, nor did she go to those hot springs on the new floor. But she would try to open up more like a flower, letting herself bloom into something beautiful. She had only hoped that her figure was something attractive for Aereth. Wearing a pink bikini, the woman stepped out of the tent and looked down with her hands over her milky thighs. She was very pale, and the intense color of her red eyes were the shocking part of contrasting body. She smiled though up at Aereth, "I can't be a timid little mouse right now. He probably doesn't like women who are so prude." Then she lifted her arms up and used both hands to twist and turn her hair into a bouncy long pony tail that reached her mid back.

"Umm, what do you think?" She asked for his opinion, of course if he said anything she didn't want to she might as well just jump off Aincrad right now. She would let her hands fall to her hips and she gave a model's pose and bent her knee to show off a little more of her more curvy looking hips. Anemone wasn't a busty woman, but she was sizeable although it would not appear to be so from the thicker clothing she wore that hid away those curves giving way she was much more flat chested while in her normal clothing. Although she had seen herself in the mirror on the side angle and she knew she was happy with her more perky looking shape.

"I brought a pair of swimming trunks for you!" she blurted out stepping forward, "I saw them at the shop with this bathing suit and I thought it was cute." She had showed him that it was a black pair of trunks with little yellow duckies on it. "You can wear something else if you want, I just thought the design was adorable..." she giggled lightly. @Aereth

She chuckled lightly at his comment and nodded her head, "I am surprised we are the only ones here." She said admiring the sparkling water from a small distance. Her ruby eyes sat on the waters and she bit down on her bottom lip slightly wondering what to say or do next. "Oh!" she had a light bulb and a plan! "I bet you are famished after that battle. It got so hot in that desert, I am sure you have built up an impressive appetite." The woman took several steps back and clicked on her inventory. Reading the outside area, she wondered where best to put it. Right at the edge of the lake front so they could admire the waterfall would be great and probably romantic. So with a few more clicks, a red and white checkered sheet fluttered and appeared as it sat nicely on the ground, upon it was a hand crafted weaved basket with all sorts of food and goodies in it.

"I didn't have much time to prepare, so I brought whatever I had in the kitchen with me. There is lean pork, vegetables, fish and chicken over there. Then I have some mixed casseroles in those containers..." She went on and on and half the blanket was used to show off all the kinds of food she had brought. There was even cute little dolphin cut out shaped cookies to enjoy. "I wasn't sure what other foods you like to be honest, but I am sure there is something here for you to enjoy. Are you hungry? I probably should have asked first." The woman smoothed her pants and sat on the picnic blanket with her legs tucked under her. She started to clear a small path for Aereth to sit, how clumsy of her. "Don't worry. None of this stuff will bite. " she said with amused chuckle and she confidently asked him to sit and enjoy himself.

"Perhaps I had over done it a bit. You are more than welcome to take any of this with you when you leave tomorrow morning, or..." the woman wasn't sure how long Aereth wanted to stay with her through the night. Was it the entire night or just part of the night? "I know you have an important thing you need to do...But you shouldn't leave empty handed, ya know? Food from the heart can warm any person's soul." Anemone had tasted her own mixed casserole with a small helping of the turkey she had prepared. It was very  good. @Aereth

Thank you for reviewing my evaluation!

Anemone had been shuffling around her kitchen to prepare for her trip with Calrex. According to her plan, they would be starting in the early morning and probably finish right at midnight or so. She had known him only from name, and the few times she had seen him fight were very encourage moments as he was a well known player on the front lines. The woman was busy in her kitchen, aromas lifted into the air from pots and pans, stews on low simmer, meat being cooked to perfection. It was a great day for her, she was filled with excitement to start her journey with this person although she did not know him personally. But none the less, the items should would make would help for finding what she required of his services. With little else to do, she had waited for her items to finish preping and then she could label them up and send them into her satchel.

+10 Exp, -4 T1 Mats

With the last mob slain, the group had retired back to the comforts of the safezone. Perhaps it was a bit too optimistic for Anemone to think this certain group could handle all that pressure, even more so she was ill equipped to be suited as a Healer for the entire team. Even though they left with their heads hung low, they did get some col and skill points out of it. That was all they could really wish for, afterall they all had survived as well. So in the end it was not too bad. Anemone had gifted everyone a thank you note in their inbox stating she was sorry as well for the poor communication she had with everyone else. Hopefully in the future this sort of thing would not happen. With that they had parted to their own ways, using the portal to go about their daily routines. Anemone had went back to her shop and stashed her col from the group party and relaxed the rest of the day.

She formed a small fist and conked her own head, "Yes of course. How silly of me," the woman had passed over the map data she had of floor six. There were several safe routes to take to the Waterfall of the Sage listed and each one seemed to show casual gathering points for materials. She normally didn't share her personal map data, because of the least amount of mobs she would have to face during her trip and there was a lot of trial and error when it came to that. But it seemed the data would find it's way to Aereth. She smiled awkwardly while brushing hair away from her face and eyes as they departed. She hurried as fast as she could though to the portal, because it was so freaking hot on floor five and because she was excited as heck to be with Aereth tonight. Her first stop was her own shop on floor seventeen.

She had hurried through the Greek Themed layout of the city and ran down the steps of her under-city restaurant. As she sped down the steps, her satchel at her side bounced and bobbed off her hip, when she got close to the foyer the lights lit up with a dim light as the majestic water creatures drifted on by through the viewing glasses. Anemone had turned towards the Staff Only door and shot into the kitchen collecting some items she had stored there for special evening such as this, particularly a red wine that had been sitting there for a while. Hopefully it aged well, along with several finger foods and spreads that might whet that appetite of his. When she had cleared her stock she then moved across her own store and quickly moved towards one of the general merchants. She had bought several long pillowy mats that would be more comfortable than the ground would offer and a two person tent that she had thought had a separater, but did not. She now had all the she needed except for a few items of more personal interest.

She had finished the remainder of her shopping and sped towards floor six's waterfall. The many jumps and portals she had gone through were too numerous to count and her small body was bouncing to and fro with her hair becoming a slight mess in the process. When she arrived close by, she stopped her jogging and peered through the tree at the clearing where the waterfall was. She saw Aereth standing there with his weapon out and smiled smoothing out her shirt and letting her body catch up with her mind. Ladylike, the woman moved out of the bushes and smiled with a calm and serene look on her face, "You won't find mobs around here. I specifically chose this spot because the rumor mill is this is where you umm, take people for dates. So there won't be any mobs around." Anemone had stepped in front of Aereth, her hands out in front of her and she looked towards the rolling waterfall that splashed down into the crystal clear pool. 

"Isn't it beautiful? I discovered this place only by chance not too long ago. Although there is a quest marker here. But I found the waterfall to be extremely enchanting. Wait till you see how the water glows at night when the moon hits. It should be a full moon..." she said tucking hair from her red eyes over her ear. @Aereth

"Oh dear!" There was a colossal smash with Beat coming in to take down the remaining chunks of health towards the juggernaut, however, it seemed the creature was able to absorb his attack entirely. With it's body hardened by the diamond like crystals over its body, despite nearly being dropped to zero, the creature was showing some resilience towards the last leg of the attacks. It had retorted with it's fist pounding against its crystalline chest. Anemone pinched her dark brows into creases from over her forehead as she tugged on the sleeve of her uniform, "It looks like it might be doing a special attack!" or it could have just been one of those 'come and get me gestures', she was not too familiar with how bosses worked in the game when it came to special attacks and with its health nearly depleted, she didn't know what kind of bag of tricks it had in store for them.

Taking several steps back, there was nothing more she could do but give her team the encouragement to continue.

Anemone lifted her hands and shook her head, "The same thing happens when I find sub dungeons. Things curiously spring from the ground when I search. Maybe it's just weird luck," she had offered her explanation and watched as Shield easily opened the chest. She had bit down on her lower lip hoping it was not a Mimic, although she would have liked to see what it really was. But upon closer inspection of it, the chest itself came to be a bounty. The woman clapped her hands, "That was my first chest opening. You are the merchant, you probably have a keener eye than I do when it comes to the stuff in there."

The woman took a step back and gave him some breathing room to loot the contents and to inspect whatever he needed to.

While he was doing that, the woman had found a small formation of those odd rocks and gems once again and looted the ground of its contents. She was pleased with her haul today in the finding of these materials. She was even more ecstatic that they had found and successfully opened a treasure chest, one that was on the newest floor as well! She wondered how many more had been here in this location. However she was interested in seeing what Shield would find from the loot he got in the chest. So she sat on a large mushroom looking thing and hunched over to watch him work. @Shield

Rolling for a chest!
ID: 85338
LD: 15+ 8 = Treasure Chest Found!

Anemone had stopped and looked at Shield who was doing a lot of pacing. There was certainly something on his mind and she didn't want to interrupt him while he was thinking of something so heavily. So she looked around, keeping her eyes peeled around the room till they were drawn to the massive crystal structure above their heads. Anemone had wanted a better view of the structure as well, it was so brilliantly lit up and cascaded an array of pretty lights down on their path. She kept walking around until her toe bumped into something, she made a startled noise and nearly jumped half a foot backwards. "Oh! Someone must have put this chest here or something. I nearly tripped over it." She had said standing a few feet away.

The chest looked as pristine and as curious as the crystal formation above their heads. It was littered with shards of colorful gem like stones decorated around it. The woman hunched over and titled her head, long strands of hair coming undone from her shoulder as she looked behind her, "Sorry to bother you, Shield. But you might want to take a look at this." @Shield
