Arabelle

Tonight brought another new face – one who appeared a little mesmerized with her humble shop at that.

“You must be talking about a [Familiar Sight],” the girl greeted from her counter. Stashing away the record crystal she had been fiddling with, Arabelle’s smile was a little brighter than usual when she turned her full attention to the young man. “Turn around, it’s on the second shelf to your left,” she instructed, accompanying her words with a small twirling motion of her finger. 

Lining her designated aisle for ‘support’ were rows of near-identical crafts, only distinguishable by enhancement labels on each shelf. For [Familiar Sight]s, there were only two. Better than her lack of preparation in previous instances, she thought with a little pride.

“You only need one for the entirety of the quest and they work best when paired with some other enhancements to max out the buffs. An LD equipment and consumable, a spyglass from a merchant, and some pheromones from an alchemist.” She’d tick down a finger as she listed each one down, and by the end of her explanation, Arabelle had an open trade window floating over her counter. “That’ll be 400 col or seven tier 1 materials.”

BGM: shadowlord.

The girl didn't idle for too long. When they'd finished exchanging names and first impressions (he looked a little spacey. and disinterested — perhaps the quiet sort?), Arabelle wandered a few paces away from the equally busy pair. 

But not too far. They could still hear her. And she didn't know what a 'Moltres' was and why he would give the phoenix a cute nickname, so she simply moved their attention elsewhere. "I don't think encounters that we could actually die from are any fun either, so rest assured!" Brushing aside a particularly thick clump of ash, another shiny made its way into her inventory. She dusted her gloves, and for a little while, she appeared disinterested in her teammates' progress as she picked off the specks that stubbornly clung to the fabric. "It's a simple fight. With what I gathered about this quest beforehand, I was pretty confident Ariel and I could have slain the phoenix ourselves. Having a third teammate would only do wonders to the process. Say—"

Arabelle wasn't too concerned about carrying less healing consumables. Before the rest of the party even heard her idea, she'd already reopened her inventory screen and transferred two of her precious crafts into her battle-ready slots.

"—I wasn't thinking of doing it earlier, but since there's more of us now, how about I stand back and inflict a couple of performer debuffs on first contact?" Menus closed, she turned to face Ariel and Crozeph with her hands folded behind her back. "That would mean I'll have to run in before you two and lower its EVA. It might look like a waste of an action, but we're looking at a battle that would last longer than a single exchange anyway — even if everyone lands their first hit. So it'll increase our chances of connecting our blows throughout the battle, and whoever's most fit to take hits would have one less person's [Hate] to worry about."

Unless one of them had [Howl]. Did they look like the sort of persons to yell at a mob until it stared at them? Most likely not. Arabelle tapped a finger to her lips, pausing to recall her own words in search of anything she might have possibly missed.

"Oh, and don't you both think it's nice to have a soundtrack playing while we fight?"

BGM: lycoris radiata.

When Yomi was considered the frontline…

“So you adapted?” Though her momentary fixation on another thought left her to absent-mindedly phrase it as a question, Arabelle could see that was mostly the case. “Well, with more than seventy more floors left to discover, I’d say it’s wise to do so early on!” she remarked pleasantly. “There’s no telling what other nasty surprises this place has in store for us.”

They’d only walked for a minute or so when Arabelle’s impatience set in. She scanned their surroundings, red eyes immediately singling out a rock formation where small chunks of precious stone could be found between cracks. Then she blinked, and [Detect]’s monotone receded from her sight as she appeared to mirror Ariel’s confusion. “The lesson quest chain. Four tutorial quests in Floor 1 which only award SP when a player completes them before they reach level sixteen,” Arabelle decided to explain. She drew closer to the vein and unsheathed Amaterasu, using its blade to carefully dislodge the quest material from its source. Looking over her shoulder, she added with a soft laugh, “I only took the first. Tutorials can be a little boring for players who know the basics already. Imagine taking a quest intended to teach you how to gather at level twelve.”

Her questing partner hadn’t mentioned any addition to the party, but Arabelle didn’t have any complaints when a handsome stranger approached in the middle of their conversation.

“Hello.” It was only when she’d dropped the second material into an open inventory screen that the girl sheathed her scythe behind her back and acknowledged the newcomer. This wasn’t a professional setting; when she stepped up to introduce herself, she kept her hands tucked behind her back and offered the young man a smile instead. “My name’s Arabelle. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Crozeph. If Ariel–” a quick glance in the woman’s direction before she continued “–hasn’t caught you up yet, we’ve just started gathering materials for the first part of the quest. We have three more to go before the fun part, I think…?”

She cast another glance to the side to see how the frontliner’s search was faring. Once she had her answers, Arabelle turned back to Crozeph and innocently clasped her hands together.

“At any rate, your help would be appreciated!”

What sort of game designer would think it fun to give players the full VR experience of fighting spiders a hundred times their usual size?

…

…

Well, on second thought, she might have done that if she had the capability too. But as a pawn in their game, the small purple-haired girl wasn’t equally as entertained. Luckily, she found that her companions were more than capable. Their paladin merely laughed as she fulfilled her role without flinching, and though NIGHT shied away as soon as the arachnids began to show more signs of aggression, the swordswoman had felled three mobs with one AoE. 

“Good damage–!” Another rending slash brought their newest opponents’ HP down to half. And following through her momentum, the weakened mob was knocked up to the ceiling where the colorful burst of its death animation revealed another spider lying in wait. Arabelle stepped back for good measure and resumed a looser grip on her scythe. “I should still have enough energy to kill another group.”

[07/01/2020]

BGM: red swan.

Though she wasn’t in urgent need of the enhancement, it should be around time she had one of these stashed in her inventory. Taking one of the two Koban Coins from the shelf, Arabelle presented it at the counter and gave it another curious once-over. “A cat… and a goat? It’s a bit of an unusual combination for someone who doesn’t get the reference.” Her free hand made a few quick taps on her menu and a trade screen opened between her and the shopkeeper. “Well, whatever you got the inspiration from must be interesting. Thanks for keeping trinkets like these in stock…”

Specify amount. Send col. She bade the artisan goodbye and went on with the rest of her day.

Not even an acknowledgment. 

–And it was her songs aiding him in this battle. Where would he be without her heals and debuffs? Lips pressed together in a small pout, it was by her own choosing that she made herself scarce when player and two-headed beast traded blows once again. But could she even call it that when they could barely even catch him? 

Seconds ticked on. Her songs continued with no regard for rhyme or synchrony, every couple of notes punctuated by rings of metal and snapping of jaws. When the interval was reached, Arabelle popped the cork off the third vial to restore another bit of lost HP. She skipped back a step, discarding the glass as soon as she was done with it. In the short time between now and the moment she would be expected to use her last crystal, she let her gaze wander idly about the inside of the cavern.
