Neopolitan

Neo was asked to get down from the rafters, and though she wanted to, Shadow decided it would be best to stay until the show started. With a quick vanishing act, they weren't going to be found so easily. Then it began. Just as they both suspected, the event was certainly not a peaceful one. Giving a grin, Neo and Shadow both agreed to finally swing down from the rafters. It was about high time that this new gear got a chance to be broken in. Her stealth would be the backbone while her sword her arms. Not a one of these zombies would be escaping her sight tonight. There was going to be no rest for the wicked, and she was certainly not pure of heart.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, she could sense it. The smell of battle, the lust for death. These creatures weren't here by choice, so she would give them no choice as she sent them away from the world of the living.

Neo walked into the shop, a large bag slung over her shoulder instead of her usual parasol. This place seemed new, as much as the already dank smell made it seem like. Still, it would be a place for her to finally unload some gear that she really didn't need. Giving a nod to the shopkeeper, she dumped out the contents of the bag, what would probably be a literal ton of food in the real world. Sending a message with a col amount that was her quote, she waited for the transaction to be approved. No sense dawdling here any longer than she needed to.

Junk Selling:

@Jackpot

Neo was but a shadow in the crowd. Even as it began to thin out at the mention of cost, she stayed as quiet as ever. There was an eerie charm to this place. She had a feeling there would be a little bit more then just entertainment. Well, to Shadows it would all be entertainment. Paying the 500 col to cover for her entrance, she quickly ducked inside. There was currently only one other person who was there with her, so she took the opportunity to scamper up into the rafters. She was making no attempts at hiding herself, but few people looked above them anyways. The crowds reactions would be just as much her entertainment as the circus itself would be. Shadow let out a wide grin, black parasol opened up behind her as a shield from the torchlight. This would hopefully be a show to die for.

Neo simply nodded at the greeting, acknowledging it was in fact her. There was no need ot hide her identity, she was still herself. But there was something underneath that that made it hard to tell if it truly was her or not. Once the order was complete, Neo claimed the parasols for herself. Though Macradon mentioned he would get his apprentice to work on it, she just smiled, seeing the craftsmanship was clearly his own. Shadow would've had an interesting remark, but Neo knew the design was difficult. Walking out of the shop, Neo was now ready to face whatever challenges came her way.

Neo realized while doing her crafting that there was one thing that she had yet to tackle, and that was creating feasts. It was usually better to give people their buffs individually, that way nothing ever went to waste. But what she realized was that it meant she had never tried it out. Deciding that it would be best to save it for when she was in a large group and it would actually be useful to be making that feast, she decided that she wanted to make sure that she could create one tailored for that encounter when the time would eventually come.

Continuing in her little crafting spree, Neo did her best to at least mediate the amount of crafting that he did. She needed to blow the cobwebs off, not craft her out of room in her shop. Then again, the extra stock was always welcome. This wasn't like a normal restaurant, where she had to toss out her food at the end of the day because it would go bad. She could craft her menu more than a dozen times over and it would still be fresh the next week when it was finally bought. It was also nice to have the backlog in case she had to leave her shop once more.

Thankfully, the order didn't take that long. As Neo was cinching up the new corset, she listened to the comment about her aura. All shadow would do was lend a smirk to the player. Pulling up a message window, a simple one was typed up and sent towards them. And with her order claimed and payment spent, Neo quickly left the shop. Though Shadow wanted the player to follow into her little trap, Neo prayed that there would be no blood spilled.

Quote

TO: Bahr

I'm someone who stared at their own abyss. What came out of it was a darkness that only knew suffering.

((Black Corset Received))

Neo knew that shadow wanted power, so she decided to try and direct her towards a different place. There was her house, where there was the slime farm that would grant some experience. Hopefully that would be enough to distract shadow. Planting the idea in her head to go there, Shadow took the bait and went to floor 7, barely wasting time getting to deepedge and her house with Haz. There was hardly a moment where a slime was actually in her vision as they killed left and right back at the house. Yet, once the last slime was killed and the experience was given, Neo heard a dinging sound. The sound of her going up a level. She watched through shadow's eyes and saw it. That dreaded number 50. Neo had just sealed the fate of those around her. She was now tier 3, and shadow's end was nowhere in sight.

Thread Summary:

The offer was too much temptation for the darkness to resist. Her knees unlocked and started to move towards the nearest town. They had arrived from there as darkness, so sadly it knew the way back through the shifting sands. Neo prayed that it would've shifted enough that they would get lost. Maybe take them towards the area with the survival boxes where they could get lost in the sandstorm. But it was likely going to be to no avail. All No could do was hope that she could get this darkness to pull its punches when the time came.

As she passed the person, a smirk grew on her mouth. An obvious acceptance, but still chilling in this hot desert sun. Thankfully, it seemed that the darkness had no intention of killing this target. They were entertaining enough that they had no concern about dying to them. Perhaps taunting them, but nothing lethal.

@Oscar

Shadow was able to tail Mars all the way back to the city. Though Neo was distraught about finding civilization, she knew it was inevitable. These floors were only so large after all. For the moment though, it seemed shadow was disinterested in following Mars further. Instead, she spent time going around and looking for something. What, Neo did not know. That's when the hunger crept in. It wasn't a hunger for food. No, it was a hunger for power. Shadow wanted to be able to accrue more power, and knew that it was not long until they were going to be the next tier. It seemed it was time for a shopping spree, even though Neo was doing her best to try and redirect the efforts. Perhaps she could stave off this growing turmoil and be able to stifle the march of terror to a further point in time when she could still wrestle back control.

@Mars

They continued to walk in silence. Mars seemed to be wary, and then think that he had lost her. Little did he know he was the path to bringing the darkness to the more populated places of Aincrad. Neo wracked what little resources her brain had now to figure out a way out of this. Surely she could try and trick Shadow into going somewhere that they couldn't escape. But every time she thought of an idea, she realized the only way out was going to be her death. There was no freeing her from this curse. There was no excape but in the even darker grasp of death. And there was no way that she could convince Shadow to just die. She wanted to go with the flow, she wanted to exact this revenge, but she wanted to pull back on the reins as well. The reins that had slipped out of her grasp a long time ago.

@Mars

Knowing that it had been some time since she had been able to do her crafting rounds, Neo realized that she needed to blow the cobwebs off of her skills. Deciding there wasn't a better time than now to do that, she quickly made her way to the back of her shop and did all the crafting that she could. There was no stopping her it seemed, though perhaps she should've slowed dwn a bit on the cooking. She was going through her materials at a rapid pace and didn't know what she would be needing for future endeavors. Though of course there was some staple items that she knew she was going to need.

Neo walked into yet another shop. her dark side was taking quite the shopping spree. Of course, Neo knew that she was going to be doing this herself eventually, she just thought she would be the one in control. Watching as she approached Hestia, the one witness to her transformation, the order was slipped over to them for the items. The light inside Neo begged Hestia not to accept the order, curb Shadow's lust for more power. But she knew that Hestia trusted Neo well enough that there wouldn't be a rejection. There was no point in fighting this at all, all she could do was wait for the chance to wrestle control back from Shadow.

@Hestia

Once Mars had turned himself around, Neo quickly engaged her stealth abilities. Truth be told, she didn't know the way back. Shadow had no bothered to learn the map system in the game and Neo didn't want to let them get back to a place where there would be lots of players. So now, Shadow tagged behind Mars, watching them consume themselves in their thoughts. Quieter than a church mouse, they were waiting with every single step. The rapier remained unsheathed, but the parasol was now closed. There was no sun to block and there was little need for defense at the moment. It seemed that the Wyvern was clearing out all the other mobs in the area. Perhaps there was some sense in the design of this game after all. Regardless, there was no need to focus on that. Right now, Shadow simply wanted there to be a way back towards finding civilization.

@Mars

She walked into the shop, a dark aura surrounding her entire slim frame. There were no words that came out of her mouth, simply a paper slid over with a request on it. As soon as confirmation of the request was given, she would pay the materials needed for it and wait for the order to be complete. It was a simple enough task, at least for her tastes. But there was no telling how long it may take this person to accomplish it. The tailors of Aincrad always seemed to be the most flaky of the crafters, never finishing an order she gave them unless she breathed down their necks.

@Bahr

For the moment, it seemed that Mars had calmed down a bit. At the very least they weren't going to attack her. As much as the darkness within Neo wanted to lash out and start the fight, Neo was able to remind it how bad of an idea that was. That reminder was enough to hold themselves back for a time, though she knew her power was growing. It wouldn't be long before she hit the next tier, and that meant all that gear back at her place would be usable now. Though the light in Neo hoped it would break her free from this prison, she was worried that the unbridled power would just make her wreak even more havoc if she couldn't unsettle the darkness from her mind. It was a risk she had to take though, as she knew the darkness would find those weapons eventually, and probably only once it had seated copmlete control over the mind of this pour soul.

@Mars
