Kimi

Kimi blinked her tired eyes as she stretched again trying to keep her body awake enough to talk to her companions before anything else. As she glanced back at her friends who now probably were starting to feel the effects of lack of sleep Teion went ahead and preemptively said to invite her for the next quest, "Will do." Kimi said with a crooked smile as she attempted to suppress a yawn just as she saw Teion try to stop hers. "Stahp it... Its contagious." She said chuckling a little bit before retracting her hands to cover her mouth with the back of her hand and then pinching the sleep from the sides of her eyes. Kimi waved goodnight as Teion retired to her room before turning to Jomei, "Well daddy." Kimi said leaning very far to her side dropping her head almost. "A girl needs her sleep." she chuckled a little bit from that excuse as she picked herself up and bit her friends goodnight before also grabbing a room for herself. "If you want you guys can join me, but i'll go ahead and claim myself a bed." Kimi finally went off to get a room and retired to it.

The trio traced their steps easily back out of the prison with little to no obstacles in the way. "Strange how there's no more mobs in our way, probably because we already slain their little boss boy the banshee." Kimi said as she glanced back down the path they took. The eeriness of the prison still was alive with ominous noises of echoing chains and howling strange winds. "I take it we're gonna split right after we get out?" Kimi said looking towards both her companions before saying, "We can try to do more quests if you're up for it. Maybe even invite one more for a bigger party." She slowed her pace as the entrance finally came into view. "I heard rumors of a pirate quest if you're interested. I always loved the idea of pirates and hell who knows. There might even be a small ship battle." Her eyes grew bright with a glow from the pirate idea as they finally exited the prison. 

"Alright sure, I know where to go so you can follow me if you want. The place you want to be at is outside by where the forest is. Most of the smaller boars should be around there and if not you can also check the grasslands nearby. Usually when you go deep into the forest you'd only really find bigger beasts and whatnot, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem." Kimi stated as she gestured Fetu to follow her. Its been a while since Kimi has been on the first floor of all places. Normally she would be questing, leveling up, grinding for materials, but helping someone out right now is also as good as that. As the two traveled through the town passing by multiple markets and outlets Kimi's reminisced all the times she spent down here and how it was really her beginning. Though most of it was spent alone, she wasn't to bothered by it as she had already gotten this far and was nearing the frontlines soon. 

 

Kimi smiled at how the situation finally changed and the mood lightened up a bit. "Well we're always here to help." Kimi said in a reassuring voice. Kimi stood up to placed her hand on Teion shoulder before saying, "If you are ever in need to talk to someone, we are all here to listen." Kimi stood up and stretched reached up to stretch before resting her arms and shoulders again. "Well, Today was a very eventful day to say the least." She looked back down at Teion who seemed to be a bit more relaxed after finally unloading a whole lot of pent up stress of her shoulders. "If you ever feel like it, we can go out to do some more quests. It really helps clear up my mind in my opinion. Also the loot and rewards are always nice." Kimi said very cheerfully. Noodle peeked at Teion from between her legs before hopping up to her lap to give her a nudge and lick trying to cheer her up.

Kimi dragged Hestia and Kairi by the hand into the captains quarters of the ship as the storm got heavier along with the winds that pushed them forward. “Let’s stay here until we make it back. It shouldn’t take long since it’s a bigger ship and we have the strong winds of the storm by our side.” Kimi glanced back at the lone NPC sailor that manned the wheel of the ship and said, “we will be here if you need us just take us back to the mainland quick!” Kimi tried to speak over the storm as it was roaring louder the longer they were at sea. She stepped into the room and shut the door right, “Well then. Let’s just wait here so we stay dry. It’s best to leave the sailor to do his job and not get in his way. Anyways we might get swept away and I rather not have that happen. As the trio waited inside the captains quarters the storm more or less died outside and the darkness lit up slightly. Kimi stood up and peaked outside the door and went back to check on the sailor. Before she could say anything the sailor spoke up, “Were here! Just a little further.” Kimi looked out into the distance and saw the mainland grow in size by the second. She went back and opened the doors to the room she was once in and called out to Hestia and Kairi, “we’re here. The storm is still around, but it’s just light rain now.” Kimi swiped at her hair getting some droplets off as she stepped inside. “Well I don’t know about you guys, but I’m going to head on home and sleep once we land.”

Kimi got ready to get going as the sailor started readying himself also to sail back. “Yeah I had about enough of sailing I suppose, though it would be really cool to check out other islands or have a ship battle.” As she said the the sailor shivered a little bit knowing exactly that these girls or at least Kimi doesn’t know anything about sea battles and how scary it is. The sailor laughed nervously as he mentioned, “it’s not the best experience and I doubt you’d know anything about ship fights. It’s best we not be thinking about it since we’re about to sail.” The storm that was gathering in the distance had already arrived and shook the boat fairly badly. Kimi looked up into the darkened sky as raindrops began to fall, “Shoot looks like we’ll have one hell of a time getting back.” Kimi said holding onto one of the ropes holding up the sails. She looked back at the sailor and said, “quickly let’s get going, I don’t wanna get swept away by this. Also how long do you think till we reach the mainland?” The NPC sailor already got the boat to set sail, “it shouldn’t take too long. With how strong the storm winds are we can only hope it pushes us forward.”

“Ohh congrats on that. It must feel really good to finally hit Tier two. I know it felt amazing for me also when I finally reached it” Kimi said with a cheerful voice. She walked around Kairi to take a better look at the gear, “Well it looks a lot better than what I got that’s for sure. I might just buy new armor to upgrade it to something more stylish as it’s just a sandy cloak and leather straps and whatnot.” She said comparing their armors. Kimi made her way to see what the sailor was up to, but it seemed he was really going through the cargo of the ship as well as the captains quarters. “Did you find what you wanted?” Kimi asked the NPC sailor who was rummaging trough a few crates of things. “Aye... most of my things are still here, though just a few valuables are missing. It’s probably somewhere else on the ship or island so I’m not too worried.” He said scratching the back of his head.

Kimi made her way to Fetu a player she met before and tried to help earlier in her adventures. Some time has passed since they last met, but she hoped that he was doing good. As agreed they, she made her way to the a fountain located in the beginning floors. Kimi completely forgotten the last time she has went down to this floor as she normally stayed around the eleventh floor and above. Especially now since she recently reached tier two gear nothing really called to her at the lower floors. From the distance she saw a familiar person coming into sight and waved in his direction. As she neared Fetu, Kimi exchanged pleasantries and went through her inventory for a quick bit to take out something she found before. "Here I found this on my adventures. I don't use Katana's, but I remember you asking for one so here you go. Its still unidentified so you need to go to a merchant to get that checked out."

Traded to Fetu

(1) Rare Unidentified T1 Katana #95242A

The tro met with the frantic sailor that invited the players to help him he offered to search the ship for any treasure. "Its alright sir, we already got some treasure when we were there. In all honesty I do look forward to getting back." The sailor thought for a moment before saying, "Sure just let me know when you want to go back. You can help yourself onto the ship anytime you like." the sailor said with a bright smile. The NPC looked towards the direction of the ship and said, "I'm just going to take a quick look at the ship to see for myself if there are anything missing. I'll be right back ladies." He said giving a small salute of appreciation. With the sailor NPC away Kairi switched to some fashionable armor and asked how she looked, "You look good! Great find." Kimi said in a friendly manner. "When did you get that?" 

Kimi wasn't to surprised that more ant warriors showed up. Especially since the small fight with the mimic did cause a lot of noise and also the fact that the party was dungeon delving. As the ant warriors approached Kimi noticed that these were different from the last ones they fought earlier in the dungeon. The ants that they faced were a lot bigger and more specifically their exoskeleton was thicker. "Just because you're bigger doesn't mean you won't go down." Kimi said as she ran forward to perform her Tornado Kick. Luckily as she went to strike her opponent with her spin kick she saw sparks and flames come off from her kick onto the first ant. The second ant got away with only a normal hit. "Alright looks like one of them is paralzyed and burned. If we keep up at this pace, we should make it to the boss man soon."

Kimi laughed at herself as she guessed wrong with whom Pennyworth might be. "Sorry about that. I mean you got long hair and everything so I thought you might be the girl of the relationship." Kimi said jokingly as she giggled a little bit. She then nods at Ryo as she was pretty impressed with his answer of wanting to be the hero of the game. "Well shoot. Hope it works out for you and you make it through it all. We all still got a long way to go before then and we all got space to improve." After hearing Hestia respond also to his quote about being a hero Kimi jumped into it said, "Well who knows maybe i might end up turning a villain though I kinda doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if people start having doubt when they are have been in here for so long." 

Ryo started to lead the group out of the dark and damp prison that they were in. Along the way Kimi placed her hands behind her head to rest while walking slowly forward with the group as they talked to kill some time, "Yeah, I basically do the same thing as Hestia. Personally I sort of just sat around waiting for this game to be finished, but that was taking too long and I got bored so why not make the difference and try making it to the front lines I told myself. Other than that I've been doing pretty well for performing, Recently ranked up and I only need one more rank to be the best performer in game." Kimi said with a bright smile as she drifted off to think up of something else to say. "Do you have any personal goal for yourself. If you don't mind me asking of course. Also who's this Pennyworth person you live with?" Kimi paused for a moment to poke some fun at Ryo, "Is he your boyfriend." She said with playfully squinting with a smug smile. 

Sweat rolled from the brow of the pirate as he realized this was a fight he couldn't manage alone. He thought up of something quick as to try to get the players off of him for a moment. As he neared the railing of the ship and watched as a familiar scaly presence was awaiting him in the water he choked on his words as he tried to convince the young ladies to join his crew once more. "W-wait wait wait... Are you sure you don't want to join my pirate crew? I already got a ship and everything you need. And for the treasure we can share our plunder and items we find. It would be a wonderful adventure I tell you!" He said with a cracked forced smile as he opened his arms in a welcome manner. Just then when for a brief moment when Kimi dropped her guard the pirate lunged forward to take a stab at Hestia. "HA!" Right as she saw this Kimi aimed for another punch at the side of Burlock knocking him into the water where a alligator came to finish the job.

The pirate Burlock laughed as Hestia tried to paralyze him. "I'm a pirate my dear lass. The only stunner here is me." As he said that he did a small pose to annoy the group before quickly attempting to attack Hestia once again. From what it seems the hit from the trio did something as the pirate quartermaster Burlock missed his attacks. "Sh*t... looks like you ladies are being a bigger handful than i thought." Burlock said snickering at his hand joke again as he clinked his hook hand. Kimi couldn't help but chuckle a little bit and went to attack once again. As she ran forward to attack Burlock he was barely able to dodge Kimis attacks and got punched again in the gut once more. "Well it looks like i'm proving myself to be pretty handy in the fight." Kimi said as she squinted with a smug smile at Burlock.

Kimi made a stern but slightly silly face once Hestia mentioned Kimi loving loot, "Yes, Yes I do. And you want to know my favorite treasure?" Kimi paused for a moment. "Its you." Kimi said blushing and giggling for a little bit before finishing what she was saying, "Ohh and of course Noodle." As she said that she reached down to pat Noodle on his head. "Anyways lets get going, since we both haven't seen the edge i think it would be pretty cool to check out. also I don't want to keep talking here until dusk. As much as that sounds fun, I think it would be better to head out soon." Kimi got a hold of Hestia's hand and tugged at her a bit leading them into the north most exit gate. "Man the weather here never seems to get bad. Its amazing, but then again this is the first floor so its kinda expected."

The Pirate snickered at Hestia's remarks as he said, "They were a bunch of fools the lot of em. One job I tell you, One job. And they couldn't even do it." The pirate shook his head as he looked at the cracks on the floor. "Well then, How about you guys make up for what you've done and join-" Right before he could finish Kairi went in to attack, but easily dodge it with a quick side step. "Oh ho ho? Feisty one here." As he said that Kimi had already gathered energy into her fist and ran towards Burlock and landed a solid hit to his gut knocking him back a few feet, but still unshaken. "Wow! You got quite the punch there missy. I could use a good pair of hands." He said jokingly as she clinked his hook hand against his blade. Kimi chuckled at his joke before saying, "Well how about you join my pirate crew?"

Kimi looked at the both of them and said, "I'm ready whenever you guys are. Amazing how we found a treasure just laying around also. Then again these guys are pirates and they live for this kind of things." She held onto the door still making sure that it wouldn't suddenly burst open. Just about when Hestia mentioned it being time to fight Kimi moved away from the door to let the Pirate in. As soon as Kimi and the familiars backed away from the door a tall slightly lanky man entered the room that they were in and had the typical features of what a 'Pirate-y Pirate' would look like. Kimi did a once over on the pirate as to evaluate how difficult he looks and she said, "Well you sure do look more intimidating than the grunts that we just went through that's for sure. Hopefully you can put up more of a challenge." She said this in a semi taunting way as she was just toying with him.

"Yeah It would be pretty cool to find such things like what Spencer found, but It might take some time especially on the first floor since literally everyone has gone though here, but you never know. I mean there are still treasure chests that haven't been found." As Kimi mentioned treasure chests her eyes went a little bit lewd for a moment thinking about the loot. "Anyways there's not too much I'd want to do down here. Then again some quality time with you is always great." Kimi said flashing a friendly, but loving smile at Hestia. "How about we just see where everything takes us? You never know right?" Kimi looked up into the sky and wondered how Spencer managed to find such fantastic things in this game where most players probably haven't even laid their eyes upon. She thought for a moment to the past if there were some things that she missed or might have found curious before, just then a thought came into mind. "Hey Hestia. Have you ever been to the edge of this floor? or rather any floor?"

Kimi heard what Kairi had said, but she waved it off without saying anything. Right now she was more preoccupied with what was ahead of them and she really wished not to think back to what happened. Kimi picked herself up after seeing that her energy was back to its maximum capacity and went to help out the groups familiars in blocking the door. She thought for a while as Kimi's reaction to Kairi's words weren't as acceptable and didn't want to leave her with just a silent response so she continued and said, "Don't worry about it." Before turning her gaze to focus on the task at hand which was holding the door so her companions can recover as well. Not much was in her mind except wanting to get this quest over with and battling out with the last pirate, the captain. Of course before anything else the group might as well go looking for treasure while they were on board if the pirates haven't stowed away any of it yet. While she placed her back against the door to help Kimi spotted a shiny box just beside Hesita behind a few linens. "Hey, I think that might be a treasure chest. Go check it out." Kimi said to the two.

Kimi watched as another mimic just happened to come from the treasure she had found. "Darnnit this is just going to add to my mimic to treasure ratio." Kimi said with a very disappointed face. "Sorry about that Kairi, hope you're alright." Kimi said trying to comfort her as she might've thought it was her fault when really if Kimi knew better from Treasure to Mimic things would've turned out differently for the both of them. While that was going on Ryo and Hestia already made attempts at the Mimic to hurt it, but so far it was a lot stronger than they have anticipated. Kimi ran up to the mimic like she has plenty of times before with these evil little boxes and unleashed a flurry of heavy well placed attacks knocking it back away from the group. "Yeah, but hopefully this doesn't take to long. I wanna get to the boss and get out of here as soon as possible."

Kimi continued to comfort Teion by placing her hand on her back and pat her. The heat that warmed up the night was slowly getting replaced by the warmth of emotions in the air as Teion tried to control her breaths. Kimi focused on what was the now and it was to comfort the lonely soul in front of her. "It's alright Teion." Kimi said with a very warm smile. "You cared enough to stay by our side even though you wanted to be alone... You care enough to share your story despite not knowing us well... You cared enough to let your walls down for us to care for you." She pat her head once more and embraced her more before continuing. "Don't be sorry, being in danger is part of the game. We we're lucky enough to have someone as strong as you beside us. Someone who seemed to always look out for her own. Just let us take care of you now, and you can finally rest with an easier heart." Kimi said all of this with care, softness, and warmth in her voice. She knew that everyone had their own problems and she personally set out to make everything better for everyone. So that one day they can all get out together back into the real world.

The fire in the inn crackled ever so silently under the tension that was in the air between the distraught players who were piecing together Teion's story. Most of this was very hard to swallow and Kimi had to forcefully stop herself a handful of times from interrupting what Teion was saying. She didn't make eye contact nor place her head down as to show she wasn't paying attention. She sat still staring forward in a trance analyzing and putting together all that she understood and heard while keeping in mind that they were dealing with something bigger than them. She placed her hands together clenching both into a ball letting her nails dig into her skin as she thought long and hard about how to respond to all of this. Kimi knew what she was getting herself into, but some of her felt she bit off more than she can chew. Despite that, Kimi kept on to help as she already gave her word that she wanted to of assistance to Teion. From time to time during their whole conversation Kimi would throw glances back and forth between whomever was speaking and listening to catch the slightest hint of realization or familiarization of the names thrown about. "Beatbox, Aereth, Sheild, and even Telrenya..." Kimi said in her mind keeping a mental note of these names. She disregarded the harsh backtalk that Teion was giving as it was really just a minor thing and provoking one another won't accomplish anything. Kimi really tried to figure out the bigger mystery of things like whom exactly is Aereth and whats his backstory. Also the mention of an oath between Beatbox and Aereth to keep their guild mom safe made more questions pop up. Not to mention who was Beatbox since Jomei and Teion seemed to have shared a similar understanding of whom that is.

After the message that Teion played ended, silence took the scene only leaving the night life of the city and the crackle of the dying fire to fill the ominous cold atmosphere. Kimi finally broke her trance, tilted her head back, and stared into the cracks in the wood ceiling. What did all of these names even mean to her she thought as she classified each and everyone of the names mentioned."Lets start with what I know." Kimi pondered to herself as she placed her hand conveniently under her chin to think as she furrowed her brows and nibbled on her bottom lip. "Telrenya is our guild mom and apparently blood siblings of this Beatbox character. Aereth currently holds the most player kills, but he far from what it seems, almost like a protector of sorts. The bandits did mention payback which could mean that either Beatbox or Aereth had something to do with it, maybe even both. Since both of them have a sort of guardian role they play." Kimi started to get a bit frustrated herself at how much was going on, but this didn't phase her from not helping. 

Kimi felt as if sometime has already passed and soon daylight may break the night. Though the group practically have been out all night she didn't feel any fatigue considering being thrown from one situation to the next in this series of emotional events. She looked back at Teion with a plain, but sad solemn expression and in a calm and sincere tone said, "Thank you for sharing that with us." Kimi let that appreciation sit in the silence for a bit before she stood up and approached Teion. She knew that there was tension still in the air and quite a bit of explanation to be had, but one thing was for sure. Teion had been through a lot, more than she herself would want to experience or probably would never experience. Kimi shifted her glance from Teion the the floor before going to her side and managing a slight hug. Though Kimi knew that her actions were probably not the best in the situation at the moment. She knew that in a time like this, after explaining near everything and having to forcefully break her shell open and take down some walls. The person right beside her, Teion, needed a hug. "How long has she been shouldering all of this? How long has she kept to herself and never let people get close." Kimi thought. She said in a soft, but in a stern caring tone, "You need this." And began to embrace her. 

Though her actions were out of place, she knew that it should help a bit. Kimi nearly caught herself tearing up into a cry as held her running over the thoughts of how long Teion must've kept this to herself. As she thought she steeled  herself from crying. She felt a light burn cover her eyes before feeling the warmth of a tear roll down her cheek. Kimi then mustered up a broken voice and said, "And here I thought you were someone searching to get stronger to protect yourself, but you seemed to be the strongest already when holding onto everything you went through." Kimi paused for a moment to wipe away her own tear before continuing. "It must've been hard for you to hold on to all of these things, just keeping them to yourself and not let anyone get close... B-but its alright now, you can let go and relax a little because you have us now." Kimi pulled back and pat Teion on the head giving a very cheerful smile to ease the mood. "Maybe its just about time to have someone care for you since it seems you've always taken care of yourself." Kimi looked down at the floor for a moment to think back. "You know... Not once have I heard you ask for help... and this is probably because you want to keep it all to yourself, but its alright to ask you know." Kimi looked back at Jomei and Hestia before saying. "This is what we here all stand for. To help those in need in need."

Kimi was happy to see that everyone was having a good time. While Telrenya came to greet Hestia for the first time and they exchanged greeting Kimi popped into the conversation and said, "Yeah adorable person here is the Guild Mom." Kimi giggled a little bit as she said that just to poke fun at Telrenya before continuing. "I was actually planning on trying to get a dance off with daddy, but I didn't want to be rude and interupt your very cute moment on the dance floor." Kimi said very playfully. A little while later Spencer came up to the couple and asked what happened giving a smug smile. Kimi couldn't help, but blush a little bit as she knew that Spencer probably witnessed the kiss that they shared in the middle of the dance floor. "Well i'm pretty sure you know already." Kimi said as her face started to glow bright red. Kimi proceed to hid her face a little more as she mustered up the courage to say, "You saw us right?"

While everyone was enjoying their time in the main banquet room of Ryo's estate. Noodle and Noot explored the house and found Ryo and Teion talking. Noot popped his head into the room, but ended up stumbling in and gave a little "Noot Noot" while waving. Following this Noodle closed in behind squeezing his way through the partially opened door before it closed on it own. After popping in Noodle also stumbled right behind Noot and fell on top of him knocking themselves both down. Noodle picked himself up helping Noot up also before looking back at Teion and Ryo with his beady eyes and did a little waddle toward them copying Noots way of getting around. As he reached them Noodle 'booped' his nose on Teions leg and looked up holding out his forepaws as if he expected something.  

Kimi made herself comfortable and sat down once again to catch her breath. "Whew that actually took a lot out of me than I expected. How are you guys holding up? We did pretty good out there didn't we." Kimi said with a faint smile. She was already beginning to feel a tad bit better about herself as the previous fight went well into their favor. "The boss man probably already knows were here, but he still has yet to show himself. I say just take the time to rest up first before searching." Kimi extended her legs to stretch as she said that. While Kuro was at the door keeping it closed Noodle waddled up to Kuros side with his hind legs and use his forepaws to hold the door also. Kimi screeched a little bit inside as she saw this adorable act that Noodle was pulling off copying Kuro.
