koga's dragging me into this.

she treks into the quiet and waits. the hall is as sterile as ever.

night hasn't taken stock of her inventory in a while. something about having to prepare for the boss fight had her slam all she had felt necessary upon her team from her own reserves, and then to defer the logistics of that act upon herself at a later date.

her counting the seconds, then, was night giving time to decide between the two items she recalls were in deficit. it was better to have additional copies at the ready, where possible, but she needed to replenish her stores just as much. what were the odds of her requirement of the item during the lull in between floor raids?

the possibility of running that estimation of that likelihood fell to the way side. in lieu of that question, she makes her mind up.

she grabs what she prefers and went on her way.

'never mind?' 'toying with us?'

if night had stopped, it was to take in the nonchalance of the masses right after that very distinct death call. she'd faltered from the whiplash, bile and ire culminating in her mouth. this was a first for her. at no point in the raid fights prior had she seen such a level of... incompetence? no. maybe inaccuracy would've been the better word for it. amongst the chaos, and passing off the benefit of the doubt to the boss and its potential for misguiding the judgement of players, hypothetically night could buy the idea that it was more than just whispers that manifested, especially past their strategy meeting.

she grumbled. the only way they'd know it would be over was when the bear finally rolled over, broke apart and died. so she kept quiet and save the sentiments for the dead, or otherwise, to herself. one clean cut through the dark, and her sword art found its mark.

► Shokko-do (The Candlelight Way)
Cost: 10 SP
Passive Effect: BRN inflicted/refreshed by the user also will apply partial phase (-25% Mitigation) for the same duration. Partial phase stacks with other phase effects up to the maximum of -100%
Description: After completing Calming The Soul, Koga returned to the practice of his arts. Kendo, Iaido, and Aikido all served as part of the basis of what would become Koga's Shokko-Do. Born from the countless days and nights spent honing his skills, examining both himself and his place in a world that had entrapped him, Shokko-Do embodied and empowered both Koga's greatest weaknesses, and his desires for himself and those around him.

The soul of the user appears to manifest itself, appearing as mystical fire at their feet, and in their eyes. Moving faster than human perception, the user strikes precisely, soulflame left in their wake, and burrowing into the flesh of their enemies. At the end of battle, only two flames are left to linger.

a shriek ear-piercing cut through the dark. it was enough for night to flinch, wincing, a hand held up to her ear. was that mina? her health hadn't sunk lower than expected. what had happened? then she heard a rally cry from a voice deeper than the one she just heard. mac?

it took time for her to realize that one of their own had fallen. faster still was her sword arm, plunging her blade into callisto's supposed hide, because in the darkness it was hard to tell who else was around, and harder still to believe that a player was dead. if that were the case, she'd see his absence with her own two eyes. just a moment ago night had been telling yuki all they needed was a little more time to tide over the raid towards their victory. it had only been moments since then.

only a solemn understanding of what had to be done paralleled that emerging sense of regret -- freyd signed up as a tank. he knew the risks, and night would make sure she herself wasn't going to be delivered to the same end.

the best way to track down a tank would be to get in close. in the dark, that's what night was doing -- sword in hand swiping at callisto as it got too close for comfort, and then came yuki's voice, to help her navigate in the dark.

"yuki?! where are you?"

there had to have been that snarl, the attempted bite from the bear itself, and yet no deepening of color from her health bar ever came at the corner of her screen. hirru's barrier was working. night moved in, then, guessing at where her paladin friend was going to be -- not that callisto would mind. it already had its sights turned onto the other parties. when she found yuki, it was all night could do to help her up.

"just like the twenty-fifth all over again," she remarked, directing her attention back to the bear in the abyss. "it'll be fine. we only have to hold out a little more."

so she had been. night was glad that the walk over to the library had been short, no thanks to demian's navigational skills (he knew where all the shortcuts were, apparently). and, to her surprise, there had been a queue of players present.

she folded her arms, and joined bistro at the back of the line. might've uttered a small prayer at demian's curt leave, watching him join iris and basuke in the corner, but she regarded bistro afterwards, attention unwavering. "how quickly is this moving?"

"i might've been waiting here for 15 minutes."

there must've been five to six players ahead of them. was each hand-in supposed to take this long? night huffed. "i don't have all day."

then, the person ahead of them shifted forward, and the duo shuffled to close up the gap. bistro gave her a warm smile. "well, i might've lied about the waiting time."

-> CONTRIBUTING: 1756 flower petals. | [link.] 

NIGHT: i have petals that are important to people??

| og thread. [>>] | -> night (1756)

-> demian (100)
-> bistro (100)
-> iruma (100)
-> asura (100)
-> basuke (100)
-> iris (100)
-> marquis (100)
-> shikari (100)

what was about those flower petals she'd somehow obtained on that floor tour earlier?

bistro had said something about handing them into the attendants. night was mostly confused. the instructions towards locating them had been inaccurate, to say the least, or maybe night was just worse at following instructions with something else at the top of her mind. what was it that bothered her?

they chanced upon the same game that they'd played back in lichten. night grabbed day's cloak and pointed at the stall. "i want another round at it."

and this time, she found out that they were playing for keeps.

they rolled dice. day glided her piece around the board. and just as night watched her own results show intently, holding her breath as she'd managed to keep up for once, the die shifted on the last, and her piece skid towards the tiles on the lower two rows of the board.

"... oh."

GYAN CHAUPER.
