Gaius

"It's not going to stop, get over it." Gaius remarks in disbelief and a bit of heat at the fact she was trying to defend the creatures trying to slap the crap out of her. "They are programmed to kick our a** so stop whining unless you want me to have to bury you out here!"

Gaius attempts to worm his way around Kasumi while shes body blocking both the creatures from him and vise versa. "Would you just F*** move, this is a waste of time." The nepents skitter around as his Glaive loses its glow and enters cooldown. "You have got to be kidding me, you punch like a 6-foot man with the mentality of a butterfly."

Jumping back and twirling his spear into another drawing up and waiting for his attack delay to wear off having his opportunity spent and lost due to his party member's interests in the enemy's wellbeing.

Gaius notices Kasumi pointing at him but chooses not to notice because it doesn't matter, for caution is for the weak. The sounds of creature destruction as parties yell out orders to each other before a *pop* in the distance and cheers become audible despite the distance as players are getting the hang of combat. "They're fine, so are we, you spend too much time thinking and not enough time doing and you'll get nowhere," Gaius said with a pearl of very ignorant wisdom that he believed in.

Watching Kasumi point, Gaius notices the trail and starts to dart down the path eager to get to battle. Covering the ground to the forests start, dark wood trees obscuring everything in front of him Gaius peaks into the brush and scratches at his head.

"I don't see anything."

Looking back toward the city and Kasumi the line is gone.

"This must be it!"

Gaius spins his spear and darts into the brush, as a pack of nepents raise to meet him. A quick twirl as the tip of his glaive lights a lime green and he impales one with a "Don't you try and sneak up on me!" The damage was enough to kill the creature with a *pop* as it fragments into shards that vanish in all directions like confetti

[Invite Accepted!]

The invite rings true as Gaius's face lights with a hearty chuckle "Alright, let's get this party started!" drawing his spear with a twirl and holding it at his side. Looking to his party member as her HP bar and Name fill on the side of his HUD and notices her reading. "Let's just wing it, screw the specific's we can just beat our way through it all until we complete whatever it wants us to do." Gaius remarks as the line's drawn underfoot and he proceeds to head out of the city hoping Kasumi would follow suit and stop overthinking the small things like 'Information'

Breaking out of the mighty walls of the starting city into an emerald green grassed floor clearing north of the city. Littered upon its surface is players a plenty grinding away in the afternoon sunlight. Gaius takes a deep breath and exhales just as loud "Smell that, progress!" looking back to see if Kasumi was in tow.

Was she just crying then? What the hell for she whomped me something good

Gaius thought a bit, a second mostly before he shrugged it off and proceeded through the discussion taking the initiative. "How about this one huh?" Gaius shouts attempting to lead the girl to the board and without a second thought like Russian roulette spins the wheel and just taps one at random.

"Come on, this should work for whatever it is you want to do!" Gaius shouts bombastically causing the crowd to look at the screaming buffoon in the middle of the starting city with a collective whisper becoming audible before Gaius drags his vision in a sweeping glare and yells out "Piss off unless you want a piece!" to which they answer him by clearing out to the threat from him.

A swipe and invite of Kasumi to the party Gaius prepares the quest to share it with her if she chooses to accept.

[Party Invite Sent!]

Gaius:

HP: 20/20

Gaius thought himself prepared, and superior to the girl. But that ended faster than a simple blink as she vanished from sight and before he could find out where the girl had gone a fist cratered his face. Gaius turned his face and spat as the notification made sure to rub it in.

[Duel Concluded: You Have Lost!]

Gaius looked up to his HP bar and noticed the draw from it. "Not bad, not bad at all." Gaius remarks spitting again before his eyes climbed to meet Kasumi's "I'll leave you alone but I'd much rather see what else you got let's do something. I saw you checking out the board when I was..." Gaius stops for a second and breaks the sentence off and jumps ahead "Anyway what were you looking for?" Gaius remarks twirling his spear for a moment before sheathing it and stepping closer to the girl with a few steps as he rubs his cheek for a second. "What a punch..."

Gaius:

HP: 13/20

"Jerk me, Naw I just like a good scuffle." Gaius remarks drawing his spear from his back and twirling it causing it to blur into a faint disc before an audible *clank* knocks it dead with the point downward. Drawing with his hand to open his HUD "And since you look like your raring to go, I color this an opportunity to blow off some steam. You may be pretty but I like that heat your eyes are giving me more, so let's settle this my way!" Gaius shouts as the notification pops from his menu as it slides close to Kasumi

[Duel Request: First Hit Mode]

Do you accept it?

[Yes/No]

Drawing his pointed left foot to his right leg's kneecap and drawing the spear's handle up above his head with the top pointed to the floor "Now what will it be?, If you win I'll consider leaving you alone."

Gaius was adamant and driven to hit the ground running. After being thrown from a tavern in the starting city for being too rowdy a slamming door announcing his ejection. "Yeah well your food sucked anyway, your lucky I don't feel like making you beg today," Gaius shouted at the shut door while strewn across the white stone brick floor, wiggling his jaw a bit with his left hand embracing it. Gaius hopping up with a spring to his feet curling his back and pole vaulting to his heels, looks to a green and puffs his chest "What, you want some small fry?" Gaius taunts before looking to the quest board and decides to go get more col to fuel his habits.

Laden at the foot of the board a small female frame clad in white, who Gaius had a foot in height on in the bright morning day. His demeanor softened for a moment as he licks his palm and rubs his sideburn with his right hand forward to back. "Well hey good..." Then noticing she's barely old enough and Gaius actually grosses himself out a bit. "Wha-at, you doing ne-ed some help?" Gaius struggles out with a cough having felt he dodged that landmine.
