[PP-F4] Ice of Beauty, Ice of Hate <Itzal and Beatbox>

[Itzal 0]

"Why.   Why the hell am I on this stupid God forsaken floor?  Why on earth.  I must be the biggest idiot ever."  Itzal struggled to move his legs through the thick snow as he made his way to the town.  He hated the cold above anything else, besides murder of course.  And yet he continued to find himself coming back here.  The very first time it was to discuss the guild foundations, which he admitted was needed.  The second time was when he heard about a quest and ended up meeting some front liners here.  The third was when Kasier invited him to this floor and he sucked it up long enough to spend some quality time with her.  And here he was again, half frozen, shivering.  "WHY DOES THE COLD HAVE TO BE THE ONE EXCEPTION TO THE PAIN DAMPENERS?!"  he roared, scaring off one or two snow wolves.  He sighed heavily, questioning again why he was on this stupid floor and ended up forgetting the reason.  So he would attempt to go back to the teleporter and warm himself up on the desert floor.  At least there the weather was more to his nature.  Nice and warm.  Even his survival skill made it difficult for him to stand this weather.  He silently cursed to himself for his own stupidity for ever coming here.

Beatbox yawned, he was in his "store" that he had honestly been using as a roof over his head and was thinking briefly on what he wanted to do... he thought about taking a quest, but quest's are harder now and he really doesn't have the equipment for it. He thought about gathering materials since he would like to give some to Alisa and some others... but he was never good at trying to find those things. So, the next best solution for Beatbox to do was to go off and fight some mob's. "Fighting it is... come on Ocarina, time to get some Col today." he said as his familiar ran up his legs, his back to his shoulder as he walked outside and locked the door. He took a deep breath and started walking outward, As he was walking out to find some Monsters he heard someone shivering... he looked from side to side... and there was the man of the hour, Itzal. He never liked this floor, he laughed and walked up behind him and patted his back "Can't handle the cold Itzal...?" he said as he let out a giggle.

Itzal heard the crunching of snow when Beatbox took the first step outside.  When Itzal felt the hand and heard the voice he shook his head violently.  "Never in a million years.  I don't even know why I came to this stupid, God forsaken floor...  Sorry, I really hate the cold.  I could give you a detailed reason why but you're probably busy with something.  Oh, hey Ocarina.  How are you buddy?"  He reached down and petted him between the ears before looking up at Beat.  "Say, what are you up to?  You going on a nice walk or something?  I was heading to the teleporter to escape this place.  I still have no idea why you people love it so much, it's so freaking cold!"  He rubbed his arms against his chest once again, and breathed heavily.  "If we're going to chat could we move while doing so?  I need to keep my blood flowing."  He pulled the hood of his cloak down further, trying desperately to keep warm, despite that it was not working at any level thus far.  Once again he questioned why anyone would love the cold.  The snow, sure you could have fun there, for maybe an hour, but to freaking live here?!  He saw no point with all the discomfort it gave him.  He'd rather be by the fire on his shop porch.

Beatbox giggled as he listened to what he had to say and pet his familiar, his familiar let him pet him only because Beatbox had seemed to not be as mad as he was at Itzal the other day. "Nah, you can give a detailed explanation. I'm not really busy at the moment, I was gonna go out and fight some mob's to get some EXP and col. Other than that, I am pretty much open at the current moment. I like the cold because it reminds me of back home, I really miss the winter and Christmas' back at home." he said as he started walking with Itzal off into the distance "What even bring's you to this floor anyways if you don't like it anyways? Did Kasier bring you heeerrreee??" he said teasingly and he nudged him with his shoulder a couple of times. He laughed it off and asked Itzal "How's Kasier anyways? Behaving herself?" Beatbox honestly doesn't know if he should trust Kasier after what she had done to Alisa, but he has no choice but to trust Itzal when it comes to her actions.

Itzal listened to Beatbox giggled and refrained from a growl as he knew this was natural.  He probably looked and sounded very comical in this situation and there wasn't anything he could do about it.  He sighed.  "If you want the description then ok.  Not only do I hate the uncomfortable feeling you get when you're cold, but it's everything cold represents.  The absence of warmth is when the molecules slow down their vibration speed.  The colder it gets, the slower the molecules move.  It reminds me of paralysis.  It makes you sluggish and hard to move your limbs around.  I hate it.  I hate the idea of not being able to do things efficiently.  Or at all.  It even numbs your senses.  I hate everything about the cold.  The warmth though.  Sure if you get hot enough then you'll burn up, but if your cold enough you'll freeze.  Warmth is activity, energy, etc.  That is something that reflects my own views.  And....  No Kasier didn't bring me here today.  And would you mind not using the word 'behave'?  I feel like you talk about her as if she were a child needing handling or discipline.  She's my girlfriend now after all."  Suddenly he heard a scream and he narrowed his eyes before noticing two figures in a clearing, surrounded by three snow wolves.  He looked to Beat.  "Looks like I'll get some action before I leave this floor.  You ready?"  He drew Ascendant's Rosario.

Beatbox listened to Itzal and listened to his description on why he hates the cold, which then turned to an angered expression as he got a little defensive over Kasier "First off. Calm yourself Itzal. Second, Did I compare her to a child? No I didn't, I said it in regard if she hasn't been crossing the promise that she made to you. If you want to get mad at me for my lack of knowledge of words that I could use otherwise then so be it, I wont be here to listen to you b**** at me about it." he said as he almost had the urge to just leave right then and there, however he had heard two female figures screaming out for help, he looked over to Itzal with a angered look and said "Sure, I'm ready."

He looked at the wolf and used his Concentration skill to focus on the wolf so he could hit it just in time and deal damage to the wolf, he lunged himself at the wolf and performed a serious of combo's that lead to the shape of a star before dealing damage. After the damage was dealt the Wolf tried to strike back, but Beatbox jumped back in time and the wolf missed. He looked at Itzal and nodded, it was his turn.

Itzal's eyes widened as he saw his friend get angry at him once again, snapping and using not so friendly language on him.  "Hey wait, I never meant it like that, I wasn't accusing you of anything!  I was simply asking if you could use a different word as that's how my mind translated it!  I'm not mad at all ok?"  After Beat made his move Itzal hesitated.  His friend was acting more and more aggressively lately.  He wondered what it had to do with...  He readied his sword and charged at the wolf, the blade glowing a darker blue than his own sword before releasing Howling Octave on the creature, knocking it's hp down even further.  The wolf yelped before attempting to snap it's jaws on him but he was already circling away.  He spotted the two figures and noted that one of the women was keeping the other two wolves at bay with a weapon of her own.  He also noticed the green cursor's over their heads, signifying them as players.  They needed to wrap this up quickly, for their sakes.

Beatbox shook his head as he had an angered expression on his face, he really had thought he was complaining about his lack of knowledge of words, he tried to swing his sword at the Wolf that had attacking the two female figures, however... Beatbox missed! It had been a while since he had missed against a monster. He looked at the Monster with a surprised look and next thing he knew the wolf lunged at Beatbox and bit his arm. Beatbox yelled out in pain and shook the wolf off of his arm. Beatbox had gotten more and more angered as the wolf had bit him, he shook his head as he tried not to let the anger get to him as this combat progressed. The wolf looked back growling with red eyes, barking at Beatbox. He had ignored Itzal and its main focus was at Beatbox, it's target.

Itzal watched as Beat charged angrily and missed the monster, only to have it lunge onto him and bite his arm.  Itzal charged in toward the monster.  He tried to stab it but the monster ducked it's head to avoid the attack.  Itzal almost lost his balance but let go of the sword, allowing the heavy weapon to bury itself into the snow, and grabbed the wolf, letting the momentum he built up help him drag the wolf off of Beat.  The creature yelped before rounding on Itzal, barking and snapping at him ferociously.  The two woman seemed to be doing much better now that there were only two wolves but it was still an issue for them.  However this wolf seemed a lot stronger in build than the wolves on the first floor.  Much heavier but also faster as well.  Itzal struggled to keep the wolf down and he punched the wolf once or twice to falter it's attacks.  If he could keep the monster pinned down long enough Beatbox might be able to get a shot on it.  If not, well hopefully Beat could evade the wolf's attacks.  He had confidence his friend would however.

Beatbox as angrily as ever kept trying to swing his sword in hopes to keep the combo-train rolling, however the Wolf keeps moving out of the way. Beatbox looked at the wolf with an angered expression and told the wolf "I will hit you one of these days, MARK MY WUFF." and then let out a giggle as he had tried to make an attempt to make himself not angry again. Beatbox loved puns, he didn't know what was the whole love there is too it, but he extremely loved puns. The wolf barked and tried to bite Beatbox again, however he quickly moved out of the way. The wolf landed in the snow once more and got itself into a position where it wanted to jump again, Beatbox turned around to face the wolf and prepared another sword art... hopefully he would soon hit it, he wanted to finish this and speak to Itzal to clear this out.

Itzal watched as the wolf broke free and dodged Beat's attacks before striking at Beat himself.  Then he heard Beat make an....  Interesting pun and then giggled.  He giggled?  Itzal shook his head with a smile on his face.  At least his friend was no longer angry.  Itzal charged when the wolf was close to hitting his friend and unleashed Howling Octave once again, dealing more damage.  It was taking longer than usual but at least it was gaining damage.  With Beatbox and himself this shouldn't take too long.  The wolf yelped from the attack and tried to scratch him but he flung his left arm out, blocking it's paw.  He then kicked it into the area between them.  He glanced at the two women and they seemed to be doing ok for now.  They could pay attention to the single wolf and reduce it to pieces before helping clear out the last two wolves.

Beatbox continued to look at the wolf with an intense stare, he knew he wasn't going to lose against this wolf, odds were that Itzal and Beatbox were eventually going to hit and kill this thing over some time... and best part is, the wolf can barely hit him for a decent amount of HP, 7 is what he hit for... the wolf needed to get a lot of those in order to kill Beatbox. The wolf lunged at the player in hopes to bite or sink its claws into the player, but the wolf missed. As its back was away from Beatbox he saw it as a opportunity to attack, he swung at the wolf and connected, he started to perform a series of attacks that formed in the shape of a star. He jumped back from the wolf in which he had badly damaged and looked at @Itzal and nodded, it was his turn again.

Itzal watched as Beatbox landed another hit on the snow wolf and watched it back up a little bit, now wary of the two.  Itzal handled his sword for a moment, recalling it's precise weight and shape.  He noted the wolf's position and posture.  He closed his eyes and played out the scene in his mind.  How he would go to attack.  How the wolf would most likely respond.  Where to strike.  He opened his eyes and dashed forward like lightning.  He knew exactly where to hit.  Someplace the cardinal had no choice but to make a critical hit.  As he rushed forward his sword glowed once again as he prepared Howing Octave.  The wolf heard the noise and turned around, only to have the heavy ice colored sword go completely into it's open maw and slide through it's throat on the other end, the red pixels indicating the bleeding effect had been set.  The wolf howled in pain and fell onto it's back.  Itzal nodded to Beatbox.

Beatbox had continued to look at the Wolf that had been trying to attack Beatbox, its aggression was showing to be growing... and growing, however the wolf's health is dropping a lot second by second. Beatbox knew it wouldn't be able to survive much longer. The wolf jumped to Beatbox and bit his arm again, dealing damage to the player again. Beatbox yelled out in pain and again and started to shake off the wolf on his arm, he prepared his sword again and attacked the wolf again doing the same combo as he had been doing before. Its health kept dropping hit after hit... it is in the red zone, however Beatbox cannot finish him off at the current moment. Beatbox took a leap back and patted Itzal's back, he gave him a smile and a wink, it was his turn. But this time, he would strike down the wolf... that's if he doesn't miss.

Itzal watched the wolf twitch as the bleed came into effect.  He saw it's health and knew there was no need for a sword art.  He rushed up with Celestial Ascendant's and cleaved through the wolf's body until it was carved in half, shattering afterwards.  When he was done he looked up to the two women but the older one finished off the monster.  The loot menu popped up and he glanced at it.  Seven hundred and seventy five col eh?  Not bad he thought.  He inserted this as well as the material into his inventory and sent the other seven hundred and seventy five col over to Beatbox.  He wasn't sure if it was safe to talk to him yet or not but for now he'd let Beat cool off.  He walked over to the two women.  One of them was a bit young with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tiny dagger in her hands, maybe sixteen seventeen.  The other one was around Itzal's age with red hair and eyes, maybe twenty one or two.  The younger one whimpered and hid behind the older.  The older one leaned her katana against her shoulder and gave a playful smirk at him.  "Thanks kiddies but we could have handled that.  My my, what handsome boys as well!  Say, would you happen to like to travel with us?  We were going to go visit a cave Estia here likes ta visit.  Interested with traveling with some beautiful woman?"  She snickered.  Itzal, not realizing exactly what she meant shrugged and glanced at Beat.  "What do you think Beat?  I don't see why not."

Beatbox had watch Itzal finish off the wolf, it was about time that the wolf dropped dead. That battle took a little too long, and they wasted more time than expected. Beatbox took a few seconds to fully cool off as he listened to the two females voices as Itzal had spoke to them. He laughed and spoke after she had finished speaking "Could have done it yourself huh? Then explain your screams then... " he giggled "Sure, we'll travel with you I guess." he said as he turned to face Itzal. "Ain't got anything else better to do at the current moment.." he sighed, and faced back to the two females "Lead the way." he said to them. His familiar leaned forward to get a scent of the two females, he gave his familiar a smile and patted his head before scratching in between its ears, it moved its head toward his hand and purred.

The woman turned to Beatbox and laughed.  "Ha ha ha!  It was little Estia who screamed because they got the jump on us!  But it wasn't anything I couldn't handle!  Still you're wiling to tag along so come on cuties!"  The woman grinned and began to walk away.  The girl Estia holding onto the woman's robe.  Itzal looked at Beat curiously and shrugged before walking beside them, shivering slightly as he did so.  "So she's Estia, nice to meet you!  I'm Itzal.  And what's your name mam?"  The woman turned to him with a smile.  "My name is Aphrodite my dear!  Oh, you seem to be cold?"  She grinned.  "I could keep you warm if you'd like sweetie."  Itzal blushed a little bit, not getting what she meant but finding it awkward with the way she said it.  "N-no it's ok, I can manage.  Thanks for the offer though."  As he walked a little faster the woman glanced at Beat and gave him a wink.  "Estia and I heard about a dungeon found in the mountains up there.  We figured we might check it out!"  "A dungeon?  Well I'm a scout so that shouldn't be too hard to find."  He rushed forward and scanned the mountain, eager to get out of the cold snowy weather.  As he scanned he noticed an indent behind a large rock and reached in, pressing on it.  A hidden doorway opened up and Itzal grinned.  "That was easy!"

Beatbox grinned at the female that overly laughed at the situation, he giggled and shook his head "Well, if you knew if you were able to take it down without trouble, why scream about it?" he didn't talk much from then on and listened to the conversations that Itzal and the two females shared, "Estia... and Aphro...dite? That's a weird name, the name's Beatbox, pleasure to meet you." he said as he followed behind Itzal and the two females. Beatbox giggled and laughed as she offered him to keep him warm, he walked up behind him and nudged him a couple of times with his shoulder "Look's like you've become quite the ladies man Itzal..." he whispered to him before laughing. He noticed the female wink at Beatbox and he winked back. "A dungeon huh? Well, I got nothin' to do toda-... Itzal, that was way too easy." he said as Itzal quickly found the entrance to the dungeon.

Itzal felt Beat nudge him and looked over before he heard the comment.  His face lit up red.  "Beat I- No that's not.  I freaking hate you."  It was obvious he didn't mean it but the point was clear.  To the surprise of both players the woman laughed.  "Ladies man eh?  Well mymymymymy.  After the dungeon is over with we should head back to my place.  I could give you boys a very fun night indeed."  She grinned at the two maliciously.  Itzal shook his head to clear up his embarrassment.  It appeared that this player had great hearing too.  He heard Beatbox talk about how it was way to easy and Itzal looked over to Beat, a little confused.  "It's actually simple really.  You look for indents, lever looking objects, or doors or cracks in the....  Oh yeah, you're training to be a dps.  Uh, I know how to find stuff."  He walked into the entrance and the woman slowed down so she could walk beside Beatbox.  She went ahead and threw an arm around him and pulled him in close to her as she did.  "You are two strapping young men, but I'm surprised at your lack of obvious knowledge!  Aphrodite was the Greek Goddess of beauty and love after all!"

Beatbox laughed as he told him that he hates him, he just found this situation very hilarious. Which only lead to Beatbox on the floor rolling in laughter after hearing Aphrodite say that line, the fact that someone said it to a guy like Itzal is very hilarious. He stood back up trying to breathe and replied to her with "I'm not interested, I have a girlfriend and I never cheat. However Itzal might want to..." he said with a wink and a nudge again. He laughed again and said "Sorry to ruin your thoughts but he's taken too." he followed Itzal towards the area. He felt the female grab onto Beatbox and pull him close to her he looked at her with a annoyed look and told her "Please let go of me, I told you once that I'm taken. I'm not afraid to go defensive now. And greaaattt... named yourself after a god, gee... what self confidence you have." he said as he pulled himself out of her arms and walked into the dungeon, he whispered in Itzal's ear "I already don't like where this is going.." he said as he continued into the dungeon.
