Kimi

OOC: This was before valentines event so me and Itzal haven't been introduced.

"Great job Hestia!" Kimi said with a little tiredness lingering in her voice. As she leaned up against the wall to catch her breath for a moment she heard some footsteps coming from where the entrance was. Kimi let out a heavy sigh as she thought she had to fight more mobs before getting a break, but from the darkness emerged another player. Hestia was quick to reply to the stranger to which Kimi caught the name of the person. "Well it seems like you two are already acquainted." Kimi picked herself up to give a more proper greeting. Nice to meet you I'm Kimiya, but you can call me Kimi for short." She offered a small nod with a welcoming smile towards Itzal. "Well we're already here so we might as well go ahead and head on in further. Just let me take it a bit slow, i'm still recovering from the last fight." Kimi said as she returned to lean up against the tunnel wall.

"Yeah i hope i get to join you guys soon, but for now i still need to do that exp grind." Kimi said giving a smile though in reality shes kinda tired from grinding and wants to play around a bit. The duo traveled a bit, but nothing was really out of the ordinary, maybe the two didn't looks hard enough, but one thing was for certain and that was Kimi was really starting to crave some food. "How about we call it a day for this quest and go head on back. I'm really starting to feel the hunger and i'm all out of snack for Noodle." Noodle stood up rubbing his belly with his stubby little forelegs before going back down on all fours. Kimi hopped off a rock she was balancing on and went back to Hestia's side to hold her hand. "Lets get going. We can talk more once we've settled down with a snack and some drink." She said with a bright smile.

"Being that this is the first floor i really don't expect to run into much since its supposed to be a player friendly place and you know.. for beginners and such, but you never know." Kimi said this while stepping on some rocks that protruded out of the ground, trying to balance on each one while her hands our out playfully trying to help manage it. "I mean if you really think about our level and such we got pretty far." She said giving a very satisfying nod. Kimi pondered a bit about other things she could try accomplishing here, but not much came to mind. A few thoughts came into mind about her goals like making it to be a max rank performer whilst also getting to the frontlines. Kimi stood quite a bit as she paced slowly forward before turning back to face Hestia and asked, "You know i'm kinda curious. Do you know whats going on in the front lines? I never actually got to talk all that much to 'Dad' about it, but i've always wondered."

"Yeah true, guess we will take a little scenic detour around the forest on the way home?" Kimi said with a raised eyebrow. Kimi stared into the sky for a moment and glanced around a bit before saying. "You know now that i really think about it, aside from the quests that i've done and some material searching on this floor. I haven't really gotten to explore all of the first floor. Mostly i've been just doing the quest and doing my material searching around the edges of the forest without going to far in. I think this is about the furthest i've been. I mean we did just see the edge of the floor so it makes sense." Kimi placed Noodle on the ground before gesturing to Hestia that shes gonna start doing the little detour. "You know i kinda thought there would be something hidden around the rim of the floors, but i guess not. Doesn't it kinda make you curious about the other floors too? like the fourth floor will just be snow and then it drops off and same goes for the ninth but with no more mountains." Kimi said curiously.

Kimi did a small stretch as she turned back to Hestia, "Well i can go for more dragons, but first lets head back. I want to get something to eat." Kimi gave a pleasant little smile as the though of getting a small cheesecake will make her day. As she made her way back to Hestia's side she continued, "Kinda sucks that the Hatchling didn't have any treasure with it, like what dragon only has a empty chest." Kimi gave a small disapproving nod. "Anyways whatever dragon we fight next might have some loot, so lets get going... Unless there something you want to do?" 

Kimi nearly forgot about Noodle who was poking around in the empty chest that the Hatchling was guarding. His little head poking in and out of the chest as he attempted to get out. Kimi gave a innocent smile at the sight of this before making her way to help out her little buddy. "Come on Noodle, We're headed out soon." She said cradling him in her arms.

Kimi did a small chuckle at Hestia's remark at a second try as she was so sure of herself to quickly end the dragon with a her first strike, "Hope i don't trip on this one." Kimi said giving a smirk right back at her partner in crime. Kimi glanced back towards the dragon hatchling that struggled to get back up into the air. She had to admit it was fairly sad that they had to hunt down a new born dragon especially one that can be seen as innocent, but there was still a lot to consider. Like how this baby dragon is very dangerous for lower level players and she wouldn't want any of them to accidentally stumble upon its layer. As Kimi prepared her All Might ability once again and rushed the Hatching, She made sure to give a good leap in the air just in case it would try to maneuver up again like before. Just as Kimi predicted the Hatchling tried to fly higher, but only to meet Kimi's fist. Instantly the Hatchling broke into shards and faded away into code. "Whew... well glad that didn't take long. Still though if i didn't miss earlier we couldn't ended it sooner, so sorry about that." Kimi said scratching the back of her head.

After Kimi caught her step after being startled by the hatchling that flew in from the ceiling. She quickly retaliated by drawing her fist back and rushing forward to end the mythical beast. As her hand balled up into a fist and her arm cocked back like a pistol ready to fire. Air started going into a small visible vortex around her fist and she came forward to punch the Hatchling. The Hatchling was hovering in the air just above the chest Kimi wanted to grab, but as she came forward to attack the beast it quickly maneuvered away from her, successfully dodging her attack. Kimi grumbled a bit as she was sure she could've ended this right away. "Come on down here and fight me!" As Kimi said that the Hatchlings eyes glowed green as it turned its attention to Hestia who wasn't too far from her. "Hes coming for you." Kimi called back to Hestia as the Hatchling did a nose dive towards Hestia. Whilst the Hatchling came down and gone away with a successful hit, Kimi couldn't help but notice that the HP of the beast dropped significantly. "Good work hurting yourself." Kimi said taunting the dragon.

Kimi approached the cave somewhat cautiously as she wanted to get the drop on the hatching. Along the way a thought came to Kimi's mind and she said to Hestia in a slightly greedy tone. "You know dragons usually hoard treasure so maybe theres something around here. Imma take a look around and if there's anything imma go get it." As they neared the cave and was finally at the mouth of it Kimi saw that it was surprisingly shallow cave. If anything this was more of an indent than an actual cave and Kimi gestured Hestia to follow her. As Kimi carefully made her way inside a strong breeze brushed passed the mouth of the cave caused a whistle making her feel a bit a nervous because of the atmosphere. Once Kimi arrived inside she noticed a secondary cave inside with a chest laying right in the center. "Ohhh! See what did i say." Kimi said excitedly in a whisper. As she went to check it out something seemed out of the ordinary. Kimi went to kick the chest open and saw it was completely empty. "What?!" As the words left her mouth a hatching dropped down from above her.

Kimi leaned up off the mossy rock and did a small stretch of her back by raising her chest. "Well lets get going? I kinda already got to see what i wanted to." She said with a smile on her face. The couple really did spend a lot of time navigating though the forest, but it was great that Hestia managed to find the cave in which the quest dragon resides. "Here can you lead the way. I'll be right behind you." Kimi suggested. She didn't wanna get caught up again on accident also the thought of fighting a dragon was neat, but she wasn't sure if she was up to it. Though she knew it was probably just a weak enemy, it was still a dragon no less and she didn't want to underestimate it. Noodle didn't seem to concerned about all that was going on, but Kimi couldn't help but give a small chuckle at how innocent the adorable shark doggo was as it dropped its nose to the ground to look for something.

"Great work everyone!" Kimi cheered as the Elite Ant Warrior fell to Ryo's blade. "That was pretty awesome." Kimi thought to herself as the scene of the ant being slain played back to herself. As that happened Hestia managed to land her status effect combo on the surviving Elite Ant Warrior. She chuckled to herself for a moment before saying with a smirk, "Wanna keep up the chain attack?" Kimi took her time getting ready to attack as the Elite Ant Warrior was under a plethora of effects that could easily finish it off. Once she was ready, Kimi leisurely walked towards the ant before picking up her pace and breaking into a sprint performing a spin kick towards the exposed enemy. The kick landed straight onto the carapace of the ant with enough force to knock it down, but it still wasn't enough. "He's almost down. Quickly finish him off before he breaks the paralyze." Kimi called back to Ryo.

Battle: 3+3 = 6 Hit

Kimi was slightly overwhelmed by many questions coming her way, but she didn't really mind. "I didn't do much aside from gaming back in the real world. I would normally be invited out and stuff of the sort, but couldn't get out." Kimi didn't really have to give it a second thought as she really didn't do anything special in life as she was normally locked away in her room. "For pets, i've never had one, though I've always wanted a dog." Kimi looked down at Noodle who was off in the path roaming though the tall grass chasing some bugs. "I couldn't really help not getting a familiar once I got in here, and it really helps having his company since i'm usually out soloing." As the duo traversed the dirt path, the forest in which the boar pups spawned came into view. "The boars aren't a problem trust me." Kimi said with a shrug before continuing. "Its really just a walk in the park, but you never know. Last time I did this when i was very new I had a hard time with my friend because the Boar pups mother came out and attacked us. I don't think that you will be running into that so you're fine."

Kimi watched as Hestia made her attempt to possibly get a stun off like the duo would usually do, but this time she missed. "Don't worry, I got you." Kimi responded to Hestia as she already prepared to attack the ants regardless. Kimi rushed forward while having her legs get enveloped in a swirling blue aura just like before and right before reaching the ants she leapt doing a spin kick. The kick made a solid 'thud' noise as it crashed against the hard exoskeleton of the ants, but she saw that it could only do a small amount of damage. Kimi let out a heavy sigh as she couldn't stun her opponents, "Alright! If we can get at least one of them that would make things a lot more easier." She said suggestively glaring forward at the weakened ant. Kimi backed off a bit to give space to Kairi and the rest of the group.

Kimi wasn't really sure what to say as life for her has been very 'mello' "Well im not sure what to say. I haven't been up to much aside from leveling and working on my performing. Now i'm just about to hit max rank with performing, but other than that nothing much. I've only really been focusing mostly on getting into the frontlines to get more floors completed and also to help out my guildmates." Kimi pondered a little while more as she looked out the gate and gestured Fetu that they should get going. "Hmmm... Yeah i think thats about it." She said as they made their way forward towards the forest. "I mean the only other thing i can really think about is that i got new gear from a few friends of mine and put it to good use because they can't use it." Kimi drifted into her thoughts as the duo made pace towards the questing area.

Kimi felt that Hestia was uneasy with the thought of people ending themselves in the game as they can't handle being in it any longer so the duo left the edge of the floor briefly after the fact. Looking around Kimi thought of how wonderful the game would be without the heavy penalty that is death, but that is a thought she didn't want to look into so much as she might question it later down the line. As the passed though the forest once more crossing over thick grass and the light patterns that pierced though the shade of the trees Kimi spoke out. "So where is this monster anyways? You think we might've run into it by now that we're so far into the forest and even reaching the edge." Kimi said with a raised brow. They reached the top of a small hill where she looked about trying to catch any signs of the beast, but she wasn't entirely sure what kinds of marks it would leave. As her attempt failed Kimi sat heavily on the grass floor leaning up against a mossy rock that was beside her. 

 Kimi looked back towards Fetu who looked as if he was having doubts, "Well if you have any questions just shoot them my way. Ill try to answer them to the best of my ability." Kimi spoke up breaking the silence as they went towards the safe zone gate. As the duo neared the gate Kimi tried to think up of more things that could spark conversation. "So then... Why did you choose to use a Katana anyways?" Kimi asked curiously as she stopped to begin stretching before heading out towards the forest to get his quest done. She casually pulled out a biscuit to give to Noodle, her familiar, who was by her side mimicing her stretches. "So what have you been up to lately aside from this quest? Anything interesting you came across lately or wanna talk about?" Kimi asked in hope of getting something going for the two to talk about.

Kimi scurried to the edge of the floor to take a peek at what lay below making sure not to accidentally fall off. "So like what happens when you fall? Because it looks like a very very long way down and you don't 'die' unless you hit the ground... Right?" Kimi asked questioning it as shes all too familiar with what happened in the beginning with players not being able to handle the stress of being stuck in the game. Despite the very scenic and relatively safe floor that the couple were in Kimi felt a sense of dread while thinking of the people before her who might've stood in the same spot she was in. As she looked stared deep into the abyss a slightly stronger breeze came though and nudged Kimi forward a bit, but she still held her ground. Not soon after Kimi quickly moved away from the edge and said in a shakey voice, "Well that breeze surely doesn't feel welcoming." A small drop of cold sweat formed on the temple as she couldn't think of what would've happened if she fell.

"Yeah! for sure, you'll be on the top of my list." Kimi said cheerfully with a small giggle. "It won't be for a long time, but when it does happen, i'll be sure to get a hold of you first." The duo arrived at one of the edges of the floor without really taking notice of it as they were busy talking about their lives and exchanging talks of their dreams and aspirations when they get out. As Hestia went to talk about what she planned to do once she would get out into Kimi started to wonder if her talk slightly paled in comparison, but everyone was different so she shrugged it off. "Yeah you should total start to do it. Anyways with how everything we do here takes some skill, i'm pretty sure it would roll over into the real world in some shape or form." Kimi thought about it for a little while if things that the players learn here would apply a little bit into the real world, and it felt as if it might have some effect. Still though you can't rely on it and may need to take some classes or lessens just as Hestia mentioned. 

"Well I've always dreamed of a interactive RPG just like this where everything will have some sort of in game consequence or affect. Like it would also effect the ingame life of players and NPC's alike. In reality its kind of like what we got now, but then there's that no log out system. That and also I wanna see how it would feel if Mobs and NPC's don't respawn, but like every passing day would be about 10-15 days so everything moves faster." Kimi caught herself running her mouth and nerding out about how she wanted to see 'her' game made. She cut off the talk short and scratched her neck before continuing, "Well that's really it, I don't wanna go talking to much about how I want it. Anyways, how about you? What were you up to while in real life? And do you have any dreams or aspirations you want to follow?"

Kimi thought long and hard about the question that Hestia asked. There weren't too many times that Kimi thought about what would happen after she got out of the game, especially since she really wasn't doing anything special in her life before hand. Mostly she could only think about finally getting to play with her brothers before getting thrown into this reality warped world of a game, where everything might as well be real. Kimi placed her hand on one of the few slim trees that lined the edge of the forest as just plan grass took what was left of the floor that was ahead of them. "I mean, I didn't have a whole lot planned. Just the typical 'Go to school, get a degree, and do some work'" Kimi laughed nervously as she realized how plain and uninteresting her plans were. "Aside from that I love gaming since my brothers got me into it, so I might've done something related to gaming, thought i'm sure my parents wouldn't agree." As Hestia's question continued so did Kimi's answer. "Well working on games didn't change, though one thing did change that's for sure. I want to make sure a game like this won't be repeated. I want to make sure no one has to experience the things we have to go through or rather the penalties in this game as well as getting trapped." 

Kimi laughed a bit as their situation of 'officially' meeting each other seemed funny to her, but Kimi answered Hestia's question about her last name. "Well actually my last name is a very mixed thing." Kimi said breaking into a small nervous laugh. "Its Hawaiian, but originally my parents went out of their way to move to California so I was born there. They sought out better jobs there, but anyways yeah. I actually don't know too much about where I'm from. The only thing I really know about my 'ancestry' I'm not actually Hawaiian, my roots are a mix of Japanese and British, we just happened to live in Hawaii for sometime before I was born." She tired to think up of anything else, but nothing really came to mind. Kimi knew her brothers would probably know more about it, but finding them was a story for a later time. Kimi continued to say with a wide smile, "Pretty good combination in my opinion."  Kimi thought for a moment about their usernames replacing their actual names and went on to say, "Well I mean, Kimi, Is my nickname. So its not to different to me being called that. Though i do see where you're coming from. It is pretty scary though if you go through you're whole life in the game just being called by your username. I mean, what would happen once we get back into the real world?" Kimi said giving it heavy thought.

Kimi emerged from the portal to see a few familiar faces already grouped together. She hurried herself over to the group with Noodle just right behind her following her steps. "Hey you guys! Its been some time." She called out to them as she waved to greet them. "How are y'all doing? Hope I didn't keep you guys waiting too long for me to get around." Kimi said scratching the back of her neck nervously. Kimi was sporting a slightly tattered brown open trench coat over her normal gear matching very well. "Anyways whats the plan for today? I know we're going to be bit on the grind today, but are we gonna go fighting or gathering? Maybe a bit of both?" Kimi said shrugging to the later of the question. The weather on this floor was very favorable with slightly cloudy skies to provide shade while the beating heat of the sun was cooled off by subtle breeze.

Kimi blushed a little bit as Hestia mentioned her name being beautiful. "Well its a pleasure to officially meet you Ember." Kimi said in a joking manner as she offered her a handshake. "Its Kimiya Heiloa by the way." Kimi said scratching the back of her head. "Feels weird how we went this far without actually knowing each others name." Kimi laughed nervously. "Its whatever though. I never had a problem with it." She looked out into the distance and saw the dense green forests start to come up in the horizon. The forest was just as it was when Kimi did her first quest. Nothing was out of place and she looked over to where she found one of her first treasures when she was out with her friend Kaya a while back. Its been a long time since shes heard from her, but she knew that they were both busy people.

Kimi thought for a minute at Hestia's question before answering. "Well i'm pretty sure that I'll meet you down the line some time. Especially since i'm trying to make it a personal goal to get to the frontlines and all. Seems like you got similar goals and also you enjoy helping people. Who knows maybe i might've been one of those people you would've helped down the line too?" Kimi said trying to think of the 'what if's' "Well now that I think about it, I never actually got your name?" Kimi said with a nervous chuckle as she practically got with a person without knowing their name. "Well as you can easily tell my name is 'Kimi', but my full name is Kimiya." She said with a light hearted chuckle. Kimi watched over into the pasture as Noodle roamed around making a path through the tall grass as well as occasionally bumping into the taller rocks.

No mats found

Kimi was going by her business running errands for her household around the eleventh floor in the city of Taft. The day was going slow for her nothing much has been happening and she was contemplating visiting her merchant friend Shield to purchase more materials for her craft. It wasn't totally unusual for her to be running out of materials, but with her goal being so close to finishing and finally making it to rank 5 performing Kimi grew slightly impatient. Just as she was doing some window shopping and looking at all the delicious foods that were in display Kimi received a message. As she scrolled though her menu and pulled it up she saw it was from Hestia, and it was something about grinding. "Alright cool! Finally some grinding I can do with a group." Kimi thought to herself as her eyes brightened a bit. She quickly sent back a reply saying that she will be there as soon as she could. Once that message was sent Kimi quit her search for sweets and other delectable foods and went to the portal to the designated floor. 

Kimi did a little stretch right outside the exit gate of the Town of Beginnings and said, "Whelp lets get a going if we wanna see the edge of the floor. I personally never actually seen the edge, but i've heard stories and what not." Kimi checked her gear once more just to be sure nothing is out of place before heading out. As the duo went out into the plains just outside, Kimi let out a sigh of relief. "Its weird how after a few months from starting we are already this far into the game, but there's still plenty more stuff to get through." She stared into the blue sky re-imagine how its the same sky she was under when she struggled to get levels and promise herself to make it to the front lines. The plains were as lush as always with the fields of grass waving alongside the wind in a ever so gentle breeze. "Its like its always spring here." Kimi thought to herself as she brushed her fingertips on the tall grass by the path they were on.
