[06/25/2020]

BGM: the other side of paradise.

She noticed their linked hands. Their glances.

What a cute couple.

“That’s Oscar.” Bringing a gloved hand to her lips, she giggled softly at the man’s plight. Now wasn’t the time to call attention to their relationship status. “He’s a good cook, as far as I know. I’ve relied on his buffs a little too often.” Perhaps due to how much the wagon stood out did it draw a small gathering of interested players. He’d even run Crozeph out of his business. A marketing tactic, or something less complicated? “Oh, but if it’s any assurance, there might be some who’d still appreciate one of your drinks?”

Her included. 

Arabelle communicated that with a kindly smile as she raised her hand in a small wave. She, for one, did not want to eat with her hands in this elegant kimono. 

“See you, then.”

Crozeph left with a purpose. It appeared he wasn’t a simple plus one, and after a sincere “Yours suits you very well,” in response to Yuki’s compliment, she took that previous thought as a reminder to check on the reticent individual whom she'd brought with her today. Quite unexpectedly, the paladin’s introduction would reach her ears before she noticed their approaching presence. A light smile on her lips, the small purple-haired girl took a step to the side. The circle was open. “I didn’t expect you to come back empty-handed, Edel.”

“I wouldn’t partake when I have nothing to contribute in return,” they reasoned.

“Oh, sugar,” Arabelle sighed. “Not even one for me?”

“Not unless you've conveniently lost your dislike for tacos.” 

Yuki’s pleasantries were returned, albeit with no introduction being given on their part. Hands folded over their kimono, Edel chose to remain where they had stopped earlier, and the empty spot was instead filled in by a familiar orange player.

“Hello! It’s good to see you too, Mari,” she said, reciprocating the woman’s warm smile. Well, wasn’t someone comfortable? Unfortunately – and unlike what their attire would imply – Arabelle didn’t have enough time to stay and chat like a lady at an afternoon tea. There began the ushering; the aimless lot beginning to stream into the designated meeting hall at Crozeph’s and the island owner’s guidance. Noticing Yuki’s gesture to follow, the girl began to excuse herself. “Small world, hm? I’m sure we’ll have the opportunity to talk more in the future.”

“You keep strange company,” Edel observed when the orange player was surely out of earshot. They inclined their head to the players lined up to enter the hall, apparently disinterested in following her any further. “…Someone you still need to speak to? I’ll be inside.”

In a flutter of dark cloth, they’d headed in the opposite direction.

NIGHT was here too, and she'd neatly isolated herself in a corner of the gathering. "Oh, no. Not this one," she responded to the other's inquiry. The swordswoman looked lovely, being dressed in something that wasn't her tracksuit for once, and based on her demeanor alone -- this occasion didn't seem like the sort of thing NIGHT would attend without any intention to participate in the raid itself. "...So you're that confident in your level already. --Well! For my part, I figured it's better to get a little intimidated now than in the next one." Tucking her hands behind her back, she thought to add a little more to that statement; it was no secret. "I'll be participating in the floor boss after this. Look forward to it."

When the time came to enter the hall, their little group seemed to have dispersed. Yuki and Crozeph quite predictably sat together. NIGHT felt the entire weight of being a third wheel and took a table at the far end of the room. And as promised, she found Edel standing at a corner ("what, are you that uncomfortable?" ), and unless the mismatched pair wasn't prompted to do otherwise, she'd take the spot beside the blonde spectator.

[06/23/2020]

BGM: sen no tsubasa.

“Hm? Then I’d consider this my win!” Hands clasped together, a playful little smile pulling up the corners of her lips, the small purple-haired girl appeared too pleased with herself to be fazed by the cute fluffy rabbit fairy’s apparent lack of friendliness. Or Jinx’s silence. The less their clumsy tank spoke, the less Arabelle had to be reminded of her dislike for her. “If even my darling guild leader can’t tell, I suppose I’m just that good at keeping secrets?”

Had a system not been in place to prevent it, Stryder would have nearly brought the cave down on them. What a way to gather materials. For her part, the girl faced a crack on the cavern wall and took out her scythe.

“Do you want any, Jinx?” It would be good to lay down that part of the loot’s division now. Arabelle couldn’t be bothered to spare the girl a glance over her shoulder, but her voice remained cordial – it was only appropriate for the situation. “I’ll take as much as I can get; those T3 materials can be turned into support crystals for the frontline-level players to use. And we all know that part of our shared goals is to help them move forward.”

She’d tell him to step back a little further so she can swing her killer pool noodle without having to think about accidentally beheading him in the process, but that would only send him careening into another wave of filthy undead. And let her tell you– Arabelle didn’t want the player she’d protected for the past hour or so within their slapping distance. There was nothing more unpleasant than one’s efforts going to complete waste.

So she took the hit for him. Heroic. Like every mob she had encountered so far, it only dealt eight damage, but the greater sacrifice was her clothes.

Arabelle didn’t know where the goop clinging to her sleeve had been. But it was a noticeable taint, and when next she looked up at the final shambling horror, her ashen eyes were completely soulless as she evaporated it with a pure, focused blast of [Explode Catapult].

The small purple-haired girl was all smiles when she turned back to her weaker teammate with another fifteen energy drinks piled on her hands. How she managed to achieve that feat, I don’t know, but she was also the same girl who drank almost fifteen of them in one sitting. Stupid anime logic. 

“Well, shall we go for another round?”

“Then this shouldn’t be a problem.”

Simple math. 

This time, the pair proceeded without argument. Was it just her, or were their surroundings growing colder with every step forward? Was it what they were about to do? Like in those shows she never quite saw– fixing her gaze on the taller figure in front of her, she tugged her drawn hood down so that it further shrouded her face. Call her impulsive, or completely uncaring, but she wasn’t blind. Arabelle walked only a step behind him, well aware of the widening metaphorical distance between her and the man who might have like the thought of calling himself one of her lovers.

What could she say? She didn’t want him to die, but after this it was just,

Troublesome.

Boring.

Well, who knows?

“Ah, these sorts of murderers truly have faces only mothers can love,” she sang. It only made this affair much easier. Dustin walked forward. Her scythe formed out of thin air and her appraising eye never left the visage of the man who killed his brother – and much more. So much more. These were the people who deserved all the evils of the world. “Hey, you might want to watch out for stu–”

He charged. The resulting clash sent a spray of snow that would have clouded her vision, had she not immediately stepped to the side. A thin smile tugged at the corners of her lips as one side of her face was illuminated by Shikama Douji’s brilliant green light.

“That’s a horrible weapon for a leader of an orange guild. Not that you’ll live long enough to reflect on your idiocy.”

And she burst forward, sending three consecutive slashes aimed at his torso, then quickly spinning around and twirling her scythe to send it in a fourth slice at the arm holding the hammer that kept Dustin pinned down.

Arabelle tilted her head and smirked.

Maybe it would be cute to impress him a little. “Well, it’s been three years, so I’ve gone to almost every restaurant on this floor. The interesting ones, anyway. So… how about a little food trip around the frontline levels?” her offer came with a softer, but still equally playful smile. “We’ll only stay in the safezones, so even someone at your level can wander about without any worries. Generally, the food gets more expensive the higher you go, but– oops.”

The girl shut one eye, holding criss-crossed fingers over her lips. 

“That just gives you more motivation to win, hm?”

What a funny pastime. Though simply observing the childlike joy in his handsome face was entertaining on its own. As the brunet pulled himself up beside her, she rose to her feet and shifted her weight about, finding her balance on the branch. He might think some experience in the forest from the other side gave him an advantage, but Arabelle was lighter. Her experience in combat meant she was better acquainted with this body’s movements. As soon as the ‘Go!’ burst from her side, she leaped forward and her feet barely rested on one branch before she took off again toward the second.

Wind whipped at her face. The canopy shook, and at some point, a delighted laugh sounded from her side. The end of the forest fast approaching, she turned her head to the handsome youth and grinned. See you at the finish line! And she sped forward in one final burst.

("Mind if I play something?")

As the boat sailed gently onward, its passenger let her fingers glide beneath the lake’s surface. What a pretty, tranquil place. Though she’d made certain to learn as much as she could about the venue before making her preparations, looking upon the scenery and the torii rising from the distance was nothing less than magnificent. “Dressing to match the theme was a good call,” she murmured, drawing her hand up carefully so as not to sprinkle droplets of water over her flower-printed kimono. Soft tones were recurrent in her chosen attire; white fur lined her collar and an ornament was clipped to her long purple hair.

First impressions were everything. Though she was far below the frontliners’ level, Arabelle didn’t appear fazed by the idea of participating in a raid meeting one floor too early. These gatherings had always been an area of intrigue for her, and when whispers of the labyrinth boss’s defeat reached her ears, she did indeed have something to bring to the table.

“This isn’t a safezone.”

–It wasn’t the same in their case, but she trusted herself to carry them through every interaction with no issue. Beneath the shade of her matching wagasa, Arabelle’s distant smile didn’t falter as she turned her gaze from the seascape. Pale hair in an elaborate updo and a kimono whose dark colors contrasted hers, Edel was fixated on the approaching shores as their boat passed beneath the gates. The comb she’d given them to wear still rested on their lap.

“Well, the frontlines has its fair share of orange players.” And scandals. And murder. But she wouldn’t voice that in the presence of their young guide. “And everyone needs to be around for the strategy meeting. I figure as long as you’ve got a decent reputation within their little group, they’ll accommodate you.” 

“Do you?” came Edel’s innocent query.

“It depends on who’s there.” They weren’t facing her. She leaned a little to the side to get a glimpse at their expression, but not enough to prompt a complaint from Mop Boy. “Are you worried? Maybe of a fight breaking out while we’re in these outfits? You know-- I won't ever let anything happen to you as long as I'm around~.”

Criss-crossed fingers pressed to their pale lips – a secret. 

“I just think this part of the affair is silly.”

She didn’t miss how delicately Edel handled the comb as they slid it into their hair anyway.

They reached the shore not too long after. Before stepping off, Arabelle passed two duplicate crystals to the youth. Her companion watched impassively from a distance. “My tip,” she said with a wink. “And that pretty gentleperson’s as well. Play the songs on your other rides or listen to them yourself, I don’t really mind. Be a good boy now, alright?”

Her wagasa disappeared in a puff of tiny blue polygons as she strode in. Unlike her wide-eyed companion, she didn’t pay as much attention to the island’s beautiful Japanese architecture – not when multiple players of interest had now entered her view. Arabelle only appeared curious, though not exactly out-of-place, as she looked around the room and mentally noted down all of her acquaintances in turn. Mari and Cordelia, Ariel and that man who’d accompanied them on a quest for a phoenix feather, a couple more others, and Yuki and NIGHT seemingly at opposite sides of the venue.

She didn’t pass Pinball a second glance.

“So–”

Edel was already staring at the opposite corner of the gathering… where Oscar had set down some horrendously out-of-place refreshments. Nevermind.

“Ah, hello!” They could handle themself. Without another word, she parted from her companion and approached Yuki perhaps because their kimonos had similar styles. “Oh, am I interrupting?” A quick glance between the paladin and Crozeph. She clapped her hands together and continued, passing them a friendly smile. “I’m just glad I found a familiar face. I don’t have any plans to join the raid until the next floor, but I thought I should start sitting in. Learn how it goes, and maybe offer my crafts where they’re needed. Are you two going to participate in this fight?”

//a/n: Edel is a player character. also, here's a full pic of them for [reference]!

[BGM: babel.]

The music sheets were greatly appreciated.

And NIGHT gave her the loveliest songs once again! …Maybe it was time to apologize to Claude for looking down so much on video game music. With two songs she greatly liked on the music rack, the past couple of weeks hardly felt like a chore. 

She didn’t give the quiet woman a date for her to come by and claim her crafts due to the tough nature of her request, so she figured NIGHT could just come by whenever she felt like it. And when she spotted the player’s familiar visage from her counter, Arabelle would have all ten crystals prepared for a trade.

“Thanks for the songs; they’re just as good as the one before,” the performer said, smiling. “Please come by again.”
