[F09/SP] Amendum Returned | <<Bandit Camp>>
Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
Nari had come to a stop, Yuki at her feet staring into the darkness at the edge of the corner that seemed to dance and waver. They had come up to the corner with the intent of carrying onwards without issue, but the sound of voices had brought them to a stop. Slowly, Nari had begun to notice the way the darkness seemed to dance - indicating that light ahead was breaking the otherwise normal coverings around her. She had been unable to determine how many voices were up ahead, and had paused as she considered her options. She could always rush in, force them to bunch up and attempt to take -

The tunnels provided relief from the heats above. Something that Yuki was clearly more than happy about, and which Nari found herself enjoying, in a way as well. Her forgoing of heavier armour had definitely made the heat more bearable, but she still found the warmer temperatures less than appealing. Yuki, more so, seemed to dread wandering the ninth floor's heat. Something that Nari felt bad for forcing the small fox through to begin with. The tunnels, however, carried a cooler degree with them, allowing the two to find a minor amount of reprieve from the blistering heats that covered the mai -

Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
She didn't want to call it easy, but as the last of them burst into pieces, Nari couldn't help but wonder if it was easy. Too easy, in some ways. There had been four of them - enough that she would've been overwhelmed in days past, when she was having just started out. Now, though, it was like walking through a park that had obstacles. Tedious, repetitive, but not overly dangerous by any means. Which wasn't to say that it was any less or more enjoyable, but it certainly brought about a certain perspective for her, when she considered it... "As if making it more or less difficult makes thi -

Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
"Plenty of scenes...far too many, if you ask me." There was no bitterness to the words, but Nari's face had darkened ever so slightly in response to the thought. She had spent far too long on this floor, considering the implications of...well, everything. "You're right though. We're here now, even if others are...being lazy. Let's make the most of it." She tried to force the smile, hoping it didn't come out looking like some sort of horror genre grimace, but figuring it likely did. The joke was barely something that she could consider a joke, after all. Poor attempts at humour for those w -

Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
Another of the group dispersed into a flash of shards, seemingly drifting off into the air without a single beat of hesitation. Nari wondered, even as she moved around the strike of another bandit, if she should feel any pity for these individuals. They weren't human, and yet they still showed humanistic traits. An intelligence, to a degree. Capability. Given any other situation, she might have considered them humanlike. But in this instance, there was no pity. Whether they were human or not, they were trying to end Nari. Something that she wasn't entirely on board with, all things con -

Eager. That was the word that best described the way that the bandits threw themselves towards Nari. Eager to die, to end their perpetually repeating life. There was nothing to it, aside from that. She could feel bad for them, feel as if she was doing something wrong - was it wrong to end that which has no purpose, nothing in life beyond throwing themselves at players with the intent of dying? - but in the end, it only mattered that they were eager. At least put up a bit of a fight, if you're going to throw yourselves so carelessly at me. Her voice sounded hollow, empty of the emotional -

Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
The group before her seemed to pause at her words, as if unsure what to do when someone didn't immediately run in fear from them. As she shifted the scythe behind herself, she could see a few take a half-step back, as if reacting in concern for their own well-being. Nari was once again surprised at how sometimes the NPCs in this game could sometimes act almost humanlike, if only for a split second. The expression disappeared almost instantly as the group suddenly surged forward, trying to surround her. A quick slash of the scythe ensured that they wouldn't be able to, pushing them back down th -

Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
No sooner had she spoken, than Nari noticed the sounds of voices ahead. She couldn't quite tell what was being said, but the general tones bespoke of individuals in a good mood. She lowered her lantern's hood, covering the majority of the limited light it had provided, while keeping her eyes focused ahead. What little she could see before was suddenly lost in the darkness of the tunnels as her only source of light was significantly restricted, and she found herself staring into a void for a few seconds. When her eyes had adjusted ever so slightly, she noticed minimal details, the bare edges of -

Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
The darkness didn't bother Nari anywhere near as much as it did many other players. She'd known a few whom had gone so far as to ensure they captured the night vision skill, just so that they'd never have to enter somewhere they couldn't see. For her, however, she'd grown accustomed to the cold and dark that came with many areas of the world. This, while not quite homely by any means, was no more undesirable than the colds of the fourth floor. At her feet, Yuki seemed content as well. While the tunnels couldn't be called open and free by any means, they weren't anywhere near as constrict -
Vengeance. That's what some would call it. Nari considered it something a bit more unique. None of these miners had asked for this to occur, the bandits which had been plaguing them over the last...well, who really knows how long. It could've been months, years, days...none of it really mattered. In fact, even the aspect of what she was doing really mattered - well, at least to anyone beyond herself. She was here, because she needed to be here. Not for some higher purpose, just...to be alive. To be out, and doing something, beyond what she had done for the past...well, that didn't matter.

Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
Nari smiled at the commentary about being cooped up, and the need for freedom. She'd certainly felt that as well, although her own situation had been more of a mental restriction, than a physical one. Wandering the empty tenth for answers that cannot be found, does no good for the mind and soul. She refrained from mentioning that bit aloud, deciding that it wasn't impertinent to their current situation. Instead, she listened as Jomei explained his own viewpoint on the Night King's quest. She was happy to hear that he had gone through it previously, albeit a bit surprised that he had been -
[OP-F10] The Silence of Passing Time
Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
Nari found herself almost laughing at the man's accidental admission. Truthfully, she'd never known who had flooded the kitchen - it had all happened so fast, out of nowhere. She'd never considered the possibility that she would ever find out who had done it, let alone have them admit to it. That laugh slowly died away, however, as the man seemed to become more on edge. His eyes cast around, as if looking for something, and Nari found herself pulling her spear ever so slightly closer to herself. Something got you on edge? It was less of a question, and more of a confirmation. Waiting to -
[OP-F10] The Silence of Passing Time
Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
The wince in the man's face answered Nari's question more than anything else the man had said. She found herself sympathising with the man, knowing the feeling of the sudden realisation of the quiet that had overcome Aincrad as of late. It seemed to be everywhere that she went. Sure, the NPCs were still around, still going about their usual business. The players, however, those had been dwindling. Nari knew that many had taken to the safety of simply staying living; which meant remaining within their comfort zones, not making their way beyond safe zones and towns...staying alive, in the end. T -

Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
To think this place used to bring peace and solitude...a feeling of home. Her eyes glanced down at the small fox beside her that she'd been speaking to, the winter white coat blending in rather well with the snow that surrounded them. Snow, which Nari had once enjoyed. Now, it just reminded her of the coldness that was her life; the loneliness that came with it. She shook herself, straightening as she heard the soft hum of the teleporter kicking to life behind her. At least you still enjoy it here. She moved from her position, seated along the outside of the main courtyard that housed the -

Snowfrost had changed as Nari made her way back towards it; the signs of the coming festival clear in the way that people moved, the way that the appearance of the town was changing. She'd seen it before, many times on her passing through - she had even heard that it was the sign of a quest coming about. She paused on the edge of the town, considering the possibility. It had been a long time since she'd actively engaged in...well, anything that could be considered beneficial towards their eventual escape. Perhaps it's time to change that...time to step out again, to do something towards that g -
[F11 R5 Tailor] Luminous Linens {Open!}
Nari-Lanreth replied to Krysta's topic in Merchants and Shops
Nari strolled into the tailor's shop once more, admiring a few of the newer pieces that were on display as she passed through the front area. She gave a slight wave to the blonde haired girl behind the counter after she spotted her, glancing back at a piece that she had considered again before leaving it behind. I got a ping that it's ready for pickup? She glanced over the piece as it was brought out, smiling softly at it as she saw the handiwork that had gone into it. A quick trial of the piece confirmed that it fit well, almost perfectly in fact. Nodding her thanks, she made her way out -

Nari-Lanreth replied to Nari-Lanreth's topic in Beginner Floors
Back at the party...It felt so long ago, the party at Koga's. The tournament, everything that came after. Hard to believe it had been months at most. Although, as Nari thought about it...months in here, piled upon years. She felt the concern well up inside her again, that sudden loss at every single second she was stuck in here. The moments she was missing from the world beyond - moments that she'd never get back, which may have been better than... The shaky sigh that escaped her likely gave away her mental state more than her appearance did. Still, the other man had been more than welcom -
Was it always this cold? Seems like time only makes it worse. She pulled her hood tighter around herself, the fluffy purple vest, with its fox-like ears covering her ever so slightly from the wind that howled around her. The piece had once been a prized possession of hers, the fox tail and ears joyous and welcoming, in her mind. Now, though...Now it's just a reminder... She pulled the hood of the vest closer down towards her face, trying to block out the wind, and the memories themselves. She'd taken this quest after speaking to a local broker, as a way to get back into the world - to esc
