[SP-F1] Thinking About The Future >>Earning A Living<<

[Vayrin 0]

Well, today was as good as any day. That's what Vayrin tried to convince herself as she stepped of the teleport podium. The blue aura faded behind the violet haired girl as she stepped down from it's steps. She looked up and scanned the area. The Town Of Beginnings was just as busy as ever. Vayrin gave off a small smile as she saw the various players going about their daily business. She was glad people were surviving. At that thought, Vayrin quickly remembered her reason for coming back to the starting city. With a swish of her hand she opened her map.

As she scrolled through the virtual map in front of her, Vayrin slowly walked off beside the teleport podium to get out of the way. The morning sun pierced down on her, as well as the many other people in the bustling plaza. Today was a nice day. Even if it wasn't real. Vayrin's finger froze in place once she had found what she was looking for. Her eyes skimmed across the page, then closed it. Satisfied with her destination, the girl began walking in the direction she had been pointed to. Not too far.

Her feet clipped along the cobblestone street as she walked through the darkened walkways. Seeing as the Town of Beginnings was huge, there had been many places Vayrin had yet to see. This was one of them. Ignoring the unfamiliar presence of this particular place in the town, Vayrin continued to walk through the street, looking for a specific inn. That is where the quest was distributed. She had known about if for a while, but never tried it. She had no previous interest in getting a profession, but after realizing how expensive everything was, she realized it was the only logical course of action.

She kept walking down the long cobblestone path for a few more minutes before she came to a stop. Vayrin looked beside her to see the Inn she had been searching for. A quick smile flashed across her face as she walked towards the door. She opened up to see the usual Inn layout. A main counter, a few tables and chairs spread out around the room. In the corner lied a big fireplace crackling as the flame's light flashed over the room. A few players and NPC's were sitting around. As suspected the NPC's were staying silent as the players chatted to each other. Everything seemed normal.

Vayrin scanned the room for a moment before walking in the door way from which she had been standing in. She walked up to a table and sat down at it, carefully examining the NPC's around her to find the one that distributed the quest. Vayrin then noticed a very happy looking NPC sitting on a bench near the fire. It was a man with a long bushy beard and big muscles. He looked rather strange in his pose as far as most NPC's went. She decided to try and interact with it to see if this was the one she was looking for.

As Vayrin walked towards the man, he raised his head slightly. She stopped and waited for him to say something. "Hello there young swordsmen! Have you come to earn a profession?" the NPC exclaimed. A window popped up in front of her for the quest Earning a Living. Not giving much thought, she quickly tapped the circle icon and it faded again. "Splendid! Now tell me, what kind of job do you see yourself doing?"

Vayrin stood there for a moment thinking about the options. There were indeed many, but she couldn't quite decide. This was one of those things she should have come up with before she accepted the quest. Vayrin sighed for a moment after she realized  her stupidity and just decided to pick one she felt like would be useful. Black smithing was a very useful skill, although there were plenty of black smiths already. She could purchase weapons from any of them if she needed to. Then after another moment of thought she pictured her desired player build. Fast, and nimble. Then an idea popped into her mind. She knew what profession she wanted as a smile flashed across her face.

"I choose to be a tailor." She said towards the NPC. He stood there for a moment, Vayrin only guessed he was calculating the result of her choice. She had actually no idea what would happen on this quest, so she was prepared for anything. Despite the amount of people she mad met over her travels she never had asked about this particular quest. She had good reason for her choice though. She wanted to be a tailor because she knew they specialized in making the perfect armor for players like her. Fast and nimble.

After another moment, the NPC spoke to her again. "Splendid! Not a lot of people pick this profession. I hope you put it to good use." Vayrin had gotten confused after hearing the words the NPC said. She thought people would choose this profession for the same purpose she did. She didint think too much about it though because the NPC interrupted her thoughts again. "Well, if you want to become a tailor, you'll need the right materials to craft items. Go get the materials needed to craft said item."

[Vayrin 0]

Great. Even though she had no info on this quest, she expected it to be some sort of fetch quest. Vayrin let out a small sigh, even though she knew she couldn't convince an NPC to change it's computer wired mind. "Where do I need to go?" She said back to the NPC with an annoyed tone in her voice. Hoping the NPC could pick up the words she used, it responded. "People like to have acsessories on their clothes sometimes. Go out to the fields and find me some violets."

[Vayrin 0]

Well. That was unexpected. When she becomes a good tailor she won't be making clothes for fashion purposes, but it seemed SAO had some sort of fashion system implemented it. Well, seeing as the NPC had nothing else to say to her until she completed the objective she turned around and left the Inn. She looked both ways down the street to find the nearest exit of the city. She then began walking towards it.

Couple more minutes of walking the massive cobblestone road Vayrin had arrived at the massive gateway leading to the outside of the town. She stared up at it for a moment, then gave a swish of her hand to open her menu. Vayrin quickly tapped a few buttons to open up her quest log. She needed to make sure there was no specific place she needed to go in order to find these Violets. Her eyes skimmed across the info. No information regarding their exact location was given, so she assumed they could be found anywhere.

Vayrin walked outside of the town and began to walk into the grassy fields that surrounded it. She continued to walk around, keeping her eyes sharp for the little purple flowers. She thought they'd be easy to spot, but for some reason she couldn't seem to see any. She continued to walk with a brisk pace through the fields, carefully avoiding the large herds of Boars traversing the plains.

She had walked passed a few daisies growing in small patches in the green expanses, but still no Violets. Maybe the info was supposed to make you look for a specific spot. Vayrin sighed as she continued her pace. Nothing but green lay around her. She then decided to change directions. She had been walking along the walls of the town, so maybe the flowers here had all been taken. That being said, she didint know if they respawned or not.

As Vayrin walked farther and farther away from the town, she didin't really see any difference in the landscape. She sighed in frustration as these littple plants seemed hard to find. She continued walking, passing a few players fighting the, although she took little notice seeing as the could clearly handle themselves. Then, Vayrin saw a little purple dot in the corner of her eye. She looked over to see a lone Violet sitting in the grass, completely still. She smiled as she walked up to it. Vayrin knelt down, and with relief she plucked it from it's stem. The flower then dissipated and was added into her inventory.

As it materialized inside Vayrin's inventory, she opened her menu again. With a couple more taps, she repeated the process of opening up her quest log. As it opened in front of her, she read more of the info. As her eyes skimmed through the quest's introduction to it's requirements, she stopped. She apperantly needed to collect another 2 of these flowers. Vayrin gave another sigh, and brushed some of her violet hair behind her ear as it hung in front of her eyes. She then continued to walk, not finding any more Violets in the direct vicinity.

The sun begin to change the setting to a mid afternoon. It had become warmer then before, even though there was a slight breeze kicking up the grass and Vayrin's hair. She didint seem to notice though, her face was fixed on the fields ahead. Her serious expression had gradually changed to an annoyed one. She did not think a few flowers would be so hidden from her sight. Never the less, she continued walking.

Vayrin had walked as far as the forest that she had once ventured in before for another quest. She stared at it a moment and remembered her battles inside. She found it honestly hard to believe that these flowers were so rare. Maybe people liked them enough to actually use them for their crafting. She wouldn't unless she needed to. Vayrin never planned to open up a shop if she became a good tailor. She may make stuff for herself and others, but she did not really want to charge people for it. Although she probably would need to.

Vayrin sat in the shade for a moment on the edge of the large grove shade had once ventured into before. she leaned her head against the trunk and listened for a few moments. Inside the forest she could hear others, fighting the Nepents. She only assumed they were doing the "Secret Medicine of the Forest" quest. One she soloed not too long ago.

As Vayrin rested for a moment against the tree trunk, she was focusing on the soft breeze that had been blowing over the field. It felt nice on her skin. She didint really feel it until now as her mind had been focused on other things. Soon though, her moment of relaxation had been interrupted with the sound of fast hooves. Vayrin's eyes opened when the sound came closer, then suddenly she heard the sound of timber cracking behind her. Realizing what had happened, she swiftly rolled forward as she felt splinters of wood break behind her. Whatever had caused that, it had hit her. Vayrin rolled into a defensive stance and pulled out her sword from it's sheath. She gazed in front of her to see a very large Boar. It was bigger then her to say the least. Vayrin's face grew angry and she tightened her blade as she read the name of the creature to herself. "Dire Boar..." She had never seen a Boar like this before. Vayrin did not take too long to hesitate though. She held out her blade and as it began to glow she sprinted towards the creature, landing a solid hit across it's side.
