Lium

Lium watches the fire ball land on the wall beside them. Glancing Kodo with a smirk, "That is our tank, the flames won't hurt us, them on the other hand." Lium chuckles as he glances around the corner to the blond. Feeling that heat but nothing more. "Watch and learn little boy," he didn't know how old the green haired boy was but he was a newbie. Celeste had showed him a few things and he was ready to show off a little. Rushing into the fray, Lium pulls his hand back and into a fist. The large dude was aimed for Eruda, distraction. Running and sliding in front of the blond, his fist was glowing bright purple. Taking a deep breath and releasing that energy, it makes contact right to the chest. The creature was sent flying back and crashing through the wall behind it. If you watched carefully you could see it switch a little, right before it burst into nothing... "Success," Lium raises his hand above his head with a joyful smile. Looking behind him to the rest of the group who was just staring at him... "What, Celeste is a good teacher. Thanks for that by the way Freyd," saying with a smirk. "Okay whats next, I am so ready to smear that one too." Lium knows that he had got stronger but that was something else, a shock to even him.

Lium just laughs at the fact that the topic or point that Freyd was trying to get at took a weird turn. "I do not regret a thing, maybe a little sad that I can't take quests right now, but that is why I have you," saying this with a smirk. "I have been rather enjoying Celeste company." Glancing to Eruda who throws that roll playfully at Freyd. Clapping his hands as one is tossed toward him as well. It bounces in his grasp, but Lium manages to catch it barely. Taking a bite of it and his eyes just go wide. "Dis is rerry ood," saying with is mouth full. A deep swallow, "Who the hell made these and where do I get more." Glancing to Freyd then to Eruda. Lium catches the new person staring at him. "Ask your questions, I have no secrets. This old thing," he points to the icon above his head before continuing, "I stole my home and the things for it. Nothing more..." He could see a guard from inside the small town start to eye him specifically. "Welp, time to go groupies. A share of that quest would be nice Freyd is you would." The man rushes the other direction as a blip pops up for invites for the group. Accepting it as he stuffs the rest of the roll in his mouth, he seemed to be having a hard time chewing, but it was just sooo good... 

Digging through the dirt, it has taken him this long to figure out that he wasn't liked in the towns very much. Even though all he stole was a ship and a few other things for it with Celeste, they still think that he is the worst guy in the world given his icon. They are all so judgy, but it gives Lium a reason to explore the outdoors more. 

Starting to walk almost aimlessly, he finds himself at the main town on floor 3. Thinking how good it would be if he was able to start taking quests again. At the start he really didn't care for them. It wasn't until he couldn't take them that he realized he missed that green icon. No matter, he didn't regret how he got it. Lium has had the time of his life with Celeste. When you got to know her, she was actually a pretty cool person. Lium would sigh as he stands outside the gates, staring at the quest board waiting for someone, anyone to take something from it, maybe they would let him join if he begged...

Lium | HP: 260/260 | EN: 44/44 | DMG: 16 | MIT: 12 | ACC: 4

"HUFF" A huge puff of air comes from his lungs as he sets some heavy artillery below the deck. This was his home, and although it was not planned, he was rather enjoying the pirate life of things. Picking up an apple from the supplies, about to take a bite as his HUD chimes. "Hmm" it was from Freyd... "He is quick to explore the new floor. Okay then," Lium began to walk through the passage to head back up. Finding Nobody laying on a comfy chair they had found a little while ago, tossing the apple onto the man. The man just seems to shift in that chair, turning to his side saying "Oh, thanks, I'll use it for my hair..." with a snore following after. Lium just chuckles as he walks up to the main docks. The noise of demands and commands fill the upper level. The ship had not left floor 27 since that huge weird battle. Grabbing of those chains, it lets loose and Lium uses this to get back to ground level. Has he lands, dirt puffs beneath his feet. "Now where is this town..." Lium opens that map larger and it doesn't take him long to decipher where he was suppose to be going. 

Eventually getting to the location, he stands outside the gates, readjusting a piece of cloth he finds Freyd just inside. Calling out seeing the man just inside the town, "Long time man, how goes it?" Freyd would see a few things different from last time they saw one another. First was the icon above his head, the other, an outfit that he had made. It was clear that Lium had been a very busy man.

Lium | HP: 260/260 | EN: 44/44 | DMG: 16 | MIT: 12 | ACC: 1

Grabbing a laced robe and pulling, releasing at just the right time. A few shouts of excitement as some of the sails drop open. They would need a few more if they were to get to the top. A few more crew members hop a board joining the fray. From his past experiences with oh so many games, a battle like this one needed an army. The higher their number was, the greater the success. It was something that he always tried to achieve in the MMO's that he played. Firm Anima was playing that part here. The numbers grew without a second though, and he wasn't really sure why that was. 

He was really happy where he was in this game. No, not game, this unexpected life that they found themselves living in. He had been close to death on several occasions, but something just shifted inside of him. Somehow he knew that he was safe. That even though the people in Firm Anima didn't know him all that well, still he knew he was protected by some strong force that was unseen. He just had a feeling, he would use that to accomplish what had to be done this day. To help get everyone here home safe, players and NPC's alike. Scambling past him were a few pirate coated females that seemed to be admiring his get up. He would ignore this for now and continue tying the robe down to the metal piece.

Hearing an order, as the cannon shot out. This was so exciting, he would allow his queen to bark the orders for no conflict. 

Now pushing his back against the marble plastered wall next to Celeste. Peaking around to corner, seeing all those thoughtless guards on edge. Glancing around the room carefully, nothing, at first glance. Curious of any other exits in an outward location, eyes shifting around the room. One of the guards start to look in this direction, Lium pulls his head back quickly. In a whisper, "There are not doors that are noticeable to our vision right now. There is no way to get up without going further into the chamber. If only there was a way to make our own way up." Glancing around the corner once more as he hears voices down below from where they came up. "Shit," eyes follow up toward the ceiling, looking for something, anything, they were running out of time. Creaking up the ladder, assuming those who were giving them chase. He was not strong enough to go all ape shit and his thinking was limited right now. He didn't have much to go on. There was towers like this that he had explored in a different games, but nothing that didn't have an obvious exit. This one did not...

"On it," rushing down below, to make sure nothing was sparking or broken in the slightest. This all had to be perfect, to get the best outcome of the challenge that lay ahead of them. Checking under the main deck, a few switches and buttons being pressed, buzzing upon activation. He smiles as the power was set. Those repairs really did a great number on this ship. Glancing around swiftly, seeing a man starting there, interested it what Lium was doing, "You come here. What is your name?" The man quickly closes the gap. Hesitant for a moment, choking out

"Kallis, sir." Lium smirks glancing the the black haired guy with an eye patch over his right eye, "Okay Kallis, if this light goes off you tell someone. This is to activate the cannons when we get them online. Listen for that command," a simple nod with a "Yes Sir." They switch places as Lium goes further into the hall. "You, you and you, come with me." A few men and woman follow quickly behind Lium. "Names," he says in a question of remark. They were platted in on shined leather, "Kishi" her blonde hair pushed back by a bandana looking thing. "London" glancing behind, then stopping at the cannons. "You will be in charge of making sure these are fully loaded at all times. Got it. Ammo is in there," pointing as eyes follow, large black bolder looking things overflow a small closet. "Yes Sir." They all scramble to load the large confinements. 

A small nod before running back up on deck. Finding Celeste, "One on power and three on cannons, being loaded now. They will not know what hit them." Watching these orphans that they picked up, most of them knew what they were doing, it was a great feeling, excitement.

Walking behind the group as Celeste takes point. After a moment, the group stops abruptly and Lium runs into the guys in front of him. The man whines a bit and turns swiftly as Lium's body shifts to the left quickly and grabs the arm that was flying at him with a sword. Lium just shakes his head, "Watch where you're swinging that shit," releasing the arm now and points to his ears. "Stay quiet and listen behind me. Call out if anything besides your men come through okay." Scared shitless he nods. Pushing through the crowd now to see the halting stop. Seeing the dead end now, Lium just smirks. "One thing that you need to know about dead ends, If the hall leads this way with no other exit," pausing for a moment as he carefully brushes his hands against the walls, nothing on the front wall as he moves to the right wall. Staring up and down as his hand rub against the rough surface, then he stops. "If no other way out, there is always something. I have played enough video games to know this trick," saying this with a smirk as he presses down with his right hand. A door opens to the right with a swirling stair case. It was very narrow but it was something. "Queen first, I'll stay behind and make sure everyone get up. See you on the flip side." Turning as he wanders back into the crowd to push to party forward. 

After getting back to where he was, a continuous banging started to take place. It was coming from the blocked door behind them. "Climb faster Cel, they are working their way in," Lium calls out as he began to nudge the people forward faster.

Watching the books fly in every direction and papers float down like snow, he can't help but chuckle a bit. Rushing to another bookshelf, sliding to the side. Rearing a fist back as the high positioned of his arm is matched with his sternum. His fist begins to glow as his fist makes contact against the wooden piece. Causing it to tremble and shake as move of the books that lay upon it were now on the floor. "Better," saying with a grin. Shifting to the front of it not as a book bashes him in the head. Hand to the head with a rub, "Hey, watch where your tossing those..." glancing to Cel with a small glare. A huff as he sees her shoulders shrug. Eyes back on the shelf as only a few tomes remained. Tossing a few before he found a novel that was not budging. "Hey, Cel, I think I found something," glancing to the walls as he tries to push the thing in but nothing. Trying to pull but nothing still... "Hmm..." saying as he crosses his arms for a moment just staring at it. After a few seconds, placing his hand back on this large reading bundle of papers, he pulls down on it. The walls creek as dust began to rise from the crack on this now moving interior. "Found you... This way," calling out as he rushed in first to make sure it was safe on the other side. When knowing it was he guided the party into the door frame. Poking his head in to see Cel, "You coming?"

The empire of people takes turns on this poor guy's sternum that Lium was holding onto. He didn't feel any remorse, they should have not tried to attack us. Eventually the dude within his grasp explodes into nothing. A small conversation between the people before they all look to Lium. "You guys ready to give it your all now." A nod from all and a small cheer with war cries coming from every direction. "Ati boys and girls, let move forward. Ready Cel, let's go find that bastard and show him that he messed with the wrong people." Saying this in an almost angered, but determined tone, rushing out the door as the men and woman behind him start to flock out to keep the surround soldiers busy. Quick glance around, "Your lead, where to next." His eyes peer to his companion with question in his words. This was sorta fun in a dangerous sorta way. 

Placing a hand on the dude's shoulder, he redirects the sword pointing it in Liums direction. "Woooh down boy. Put your hand a bit further down. Gives you more control. Got it?" A simple nod from them both as Lium began to grab other weapons just laying around, some being on corpse and some just lying in the streets that they walked. Putting a weapon in each person behind them that didn't already have one. Teaching each person how to football as they hurried through the halls. Keeping his eyes forward, he sees a guy charging the group before they were ready, "Shit," Lium rushed forward and pulls his hand back, the enemy strikes toward him as he pivots his feet with a shift of his feet. Grabbing the back of his neck and with the other hand grasping the wrist which the sword was held. Glancing at some of the noobs saying, "Here's a pin cushion, have at it."

Lium | HP: 260/260 | EN: 44/44 | DMG: 16 | MIT: 12 | ACC: 1

Watching players climb up Celeste to get up that ladder, she glances to Lium for a split second. Lium simply shakes his head, this girl has made a decision. Now that the girl had an idea what she wanted to do, he was glad that he wasn't going to have to find another way out with these bafoons by himself. From events that had transpired it that near past for him, he would have refused to leave any one of these people behind.  Whether they were people or NPC's, they were mostly all alike. Gathering the young folks and the adults around as he follows Celeste. "It's about damn time, you do realize that by the time we get up there the treasure, if there was any in the first place, is going to be gone. There is no chance in hell that they would leave anything for us. I am proud of you Cel..." Watching the group carefully for anything that could help them get out of here safely with this group that they formed on their own.

*Lium leaves to help lead the rebellion*

Watching Sam twirl and having fun, it felt very much the opposite for Lium. These holidays just hurt too much. Even though it was beautiful around these parts, it reminded him of the events that his parents would throw for the neighborhood. "I really hate the holidays. After my parents..." curving his lips to a frown with a swift shake of his head. "Never mind. Let's just get our shit and get the hell out of here." Hearing Oni talk to the others, he sets the little seeds he managed to grab and there was only one thing that caught his eyes. Hearing what it was in an explanation to another guild mate, he grabs it. Oni eyes him with a glare as he points to the seeds that he had just placed. A smile from that girl now and a nod. "I'm out..." Saying to Celeste as he starts to walk toward the exit of this huge event. It was just too painful to be here.

A out puff of air, was he even breathing. A grin as he watched Freya swim off. "This is an interesting bunch of friends you got here. I'm proud of you little Sammy." Sammy and him have been friends since the time she started playing those online games. It had been a decade, and Lium has finally seen Sam in person. This was as real as it was going to get for now. Lium knew about her accident from that haunting past. Just from seeing her here, right now, she has come a very long way. That was a clear sign that she was getting better. Being outside here, she never set foot outside in the real world. She was too scared to. Lium knew everything about this very special girl and seeing her this happy made him happy. Lium practically watched her grow up. Voice changing over the mic over the years, Lium couldn't help but smile as he watched the 3 girls giggling. It was going to be very hard to let this woman go, but for the sake of her happiness, he would move on...

"Okay, hold on a god damn second," Hearing that from the other blond that looked like Eruda. Lium gets into the water with his robe still on, at this point he didn't care. Grabbing Sams shoulder lightly to have her face him. At the corner of his eyes, he sees the blond shift in the water, Sam puts a hand up to halt Freya. Freya then hops out of the water, sitting on the ledge with her legs dangling getting ready to pull this dude out of she had to. Ringing out her hair, watching a listening.

Inches from her face. "Yes, okay, I love you," Sam's continues to glare at him. "That doesn't just go away. I was trapped for years and you are all I though about every single day while I was in that cage, that and trying to figure out a way to get back to you because I knew that you were thinking the worst of me at that point." Watching tears form in her eyes with that piercing glare. "I left to give you space, I left to give me space. I needed to get my mind off of you because I saw you were really happy with Katoka and I couldn't promise myself that I wouldn't have done something stupid." Taking a breath as his hand is placed on Sams face. Seeing that female shift once more, another hand from Sam raises up. The girl stops still watching. "I needed to find something to distract myself. Vere my focus on something other than you Samantha. I would never in any lifetime purposely hurt such a pure heart as yours. Please, forgive me. I just want you in my life Samantha. Please forgive me. I promise to never leave you hurting the way you do now ever again." He places his forehead against hers, closing his eyes, "Please Sammy..." His chest became heavy with emotion. 

Watching Sam walk right past him, "Swimming it is..." he didn't even get a choice but that was fine. Lium knew that Sam could be stubborn as hell. It was actually one of the things that he liked about her, he liked the challenge. In reality he just wanted to get things back to the way they were. Sharing his feeling made everything so complicated between them, but he doesn't regret it. All he wanted was for her to be happy and this was by no means happy in his book. He would try to cheer her up, even if he got punched, it would be worth it to see a smile on her face again. Plus, the last month that he was gone, his eyes were set on another, just as stubborn as Samantha. This hot blood chick may have been more stubborn though, it excited him. This girl made getting over Sam a whole hell of a lot easier. Watching as Sam pulls her hair up and strips to her bathing suit, she dives into the water without a word to Lium. A small huff, he didn't have any swim wear so he would improve.

-Knock-knock-knock- "Sam I know your in there, I saw you go in." -Knock-knock-knock- The door finally opens up after 10 minutes. Looking back at him was a glaring Sam. "Look, I know your pissed, but I needed to to think okay. Please just hear me out." Sam just stands there staring, glaring. "Sam, seeing you and Katoka being so cute together, I was heartbroken. I need time to wrap my head around the fact that I lost my chance with the one girl that I have loved since day one of meeting her. I can't just get over that in one night Samantha." An angry frown with tears running down her face. "I know I hurt you and I don't think that I could forgive myself for that, but I really meant it when I said I wanted to be your friend. Please just come with me, let me try to make it up to you." A sniffle from the girl before she slams the door. A sigh as he places his back against the house, slowly smacking his head to the house.

Shaking the image out of his mind, now was not the time to be focusing on that. He was among friends, or at least he would hope. A smile with a smile as he watched Eruda attempt with no success. "You have to move your body with every outward motion. Use your momentum of the entire body with each impacted notion." Positioning his feet and raising his hands, in an almost defensive motion, open palm. Inhaling slow with a controlled exhale as he shifts his body with his arm pulling back and quickly pushes forward, impacting with a open hand with his fingers bend tightly in. The boulder cracks under that impact as he pulls back just as fast. One swift motion, strike quick and efficiently. "If you do that, then you will get that force that is needed but you will also do less damage to yourself in the process." Glancing to Kasumi, "You are the expert, is this correct. I don't want to feed her false knowledge?" A smile toward the girl, it was clear that she knew what she was doing, but he also knew a thing or two himself.

A sharp exhale as he comes up from the water. Hearing what was said by Kasumi but very muffled he simple nods. He did not have trouble focusing, it was what he focused on that was the problem. Lifting himself out of the water, he glances to the old guy. Once this guy knew that Lium was ready, he points to the boulder with a grin. Lium knew what he should be focusing on but those images just kept creeping in like a leach that wouldn't let go. Dripping wet as he began to walk toward the new target. "Finally," shaking his head. It would be clear that something was bothering him but only Freyd would know sorta what would be going through his head. Lium knew that he was new at this and that it was going to take some time before he was ready for anything heavy. The simple fact was that he was determined to wipe out every PK in this game even if it killed him. At least the other players would be safe...

Getting his feet as the old dude gestures him to the waterfall explaining what needed to be done for the next task. His eyes narrow, as this might be a bit hard for him to do. Sitting upon a rock, he folds his legs. Closing his eyes as he tries to focus on the sound of the water. At first it was fine, but then a mind fuck as he began to remember his time in captivity. Being through against walls when he did submit. Punched in the face and kicked in the ribs more that a dozen times. Keeping him just on the brink of death as he finds his health ticking back up slowly. All he was thinking as he stayed silent was how much he wanted to kill them. Trying to make deals that they say he can't refuse, but did and then turning around, bashing his head against the bars. Tension builds up before he flashes his eyes back open. Gritting his teeth as the bottom of his nose started twitching. Quickly looking for a way out he looks toward the small encased water beneath the waterfall. Forcing a fall off the rock as he dives into the water to cool himself off...

After jump off Celeste's back, everything was happening so damn fast. Lium couldn't keep up. He decides that he wasn't going to get involved in the huge pissing contest that was going on right. He wanted that treasure, yes, but he also had his limits. He knew he was weak and he was not going to involve himself with shit he couldn't handle himself. Walking to this Nobody guy with a sigh, "I couldn't agree more. They are only wanted one thing and will do anything and I mean ANYTHING to get it. Regardless of what you see from Celeste, she is not a bad person."

Suddenly something catches his attention. Someone crying... Following the voice it leads him to a small group of children around the bend. They couldn't be more than 5-10 years old. A deep sign, he also had a soft spot for kids. Kneeling to a knee toward the young people, "I know you're scared, but you will be safe through those doors. More places to hide until things calm down." One of these boys stand and walks to him. Holding out a hand to the others, they all quickly stand running to Lium as they latch to him one by one. Lium turn and began to walk through the gates now, he turns to Nobody, "It doesn't all have to be bad, there are some good people here too, you just need to know who they are and stick with them." A smile toward him as he walks through those gates with a handful of children latched to every side of him. Turning the corner and settling in the dark, getting to one knee. "Go hide and do not come out until it's safe, okay." A simple nod from all of them before they scurry off behind buildings in the dark. Getting to his feet, Lium looks out to see what he was working with now.

Lium was the first to get to the top of this mountain. Face to face, a huge monologue of text as he listens to the guy with a sigh. He knew it was mandatory so he would go along with it, but it was still a bit boring. "Do some training, sure." It was not something that Lium did on a regular day, but thinking about it for a moment, he would need to start early if he was to do what he intended to do. Laying on his back, he pulls it knee's up and begins to do some sit ups. After a few minutes he could feel some drops of liquid down his forehead, he kept going though. If this task was going to help him conquer this task and allow him to get this skill then so be it. He would work as hard as he possibly could to make that happen. He was tired of using something that he was not familiar with, he was a very hands on type of guy. He would show that soon enough.

Changing positions he gets into a push up formation. Doing about 3 of them before his hand slips out beneath his weight and fall on his face. Rolling on his back, staring up into the sky, spitting some dirt out. "Well, I need a lot of work... Freyd and Setsuna were right this is tough biz." Getting to his side now and leaning against one arm, ready to watch if any of the others could do any better.

Lium was already half way out the doorway. They had a mountain to climb and he was not going to waste time. Again, the Celeste thing, rushing him at every point, she was sorta rubbing off on him. Glancing to Eruda with a rise of her brow, "Everyone has a bad day, and I do not bother with the little things, saying sorry to me is useless. I am not the one you should be apologizing to. It's meaningless to me honey," saying with a grin as he accepts the quest that Eruda had shared just now. "Time to go possy, this boulder is not going to explode itself." His HUD chimes on his map with the location, he begins to walk out the front gates. Glancing to the map, it looked pretty far away. There was a crap ton of traveling time that had to be made and if they wanted to talk about their feelings then they could walk and talk. He needed to get this quest done so that he could start speaking with his fists instead of this crappy polearm that lays on his back like a lump of rock. Glancing down at the Ferrit, he simply smiles.

Sitting in the dark alley on floor 1's town of beginning. Little money goes nowhere, but that was not really his concern. He would always take what he was given and use it to his advantage the best that he could at the moment. He was mainly staying hidden from prying eyes because npc's and player alike would give the evil eye. He did not care much about that either, but he found a spot in that Alley that was just the right comfort level to relax in. A bread roll in hand as he goes to take a bite when another chime from the guild hall pops up. Nearly dropping his food, catching it in a panic. A huff of breath as he goes to try taking another bite... Another message chimes and this time it did... The bread falls on the ground, "DAMN it.. That was 1 hard earned col." Shaking his head, watching the bread roll, roll away from him. A sigh as he opens his HUD now. "Oh, OH" as he gets to feet. A message from Freyd would get his attention. Glancing at the roll one more with a frown, before sending a quick message back to Freyd and heading off to floor 2 knowing where that quest from sneaking into the guild hall from time to time to read notes that was plastered on the table all the time.

Arriving on this floor, glancing around, no one was there yet. He was used to Celeste pace, with a simple breath, he walks to the board and leans against it waiting...
