[F3-PP] Drastically underwhelming (Worn out Welcome)

[Celeste 1]

Shortly after cramming all the pieces of unidentified loot and other various components into every shelf that could hold it, Celeste felt so wholeheartedly unburdened by the crap. It had been bogging her down, making it impossible to find what she was looking for in her inventory and now it was surprisingly clear. A promise of armor on this next one, reading from the little ledger that she'd had paid for prior. "Worn out welcome huh?" Celeste quipped as she worked her way up to floor 3, a flash of blue light bending reality around her. Still clung to that little slip of paper, she folds it and jams it into her front right pocket. Delilah seemed rather dead, not quite as many players bumping into each other like she was used to seeing. An ode to the time of day, most were likely off endlessly shoving the pointy end into things until they died.

That's where she would much rather be, off fighting and grinding away to get stronger. But these little tutorial missions were doing wonders for her jump start program, so she'd hardly argue at their worth this far in. Even still they were boringly droll in execution, unsure what she expected but that was how most games start. Every adventurer needs to start by fighting rats, a fact she was all too aware of. She'd been fighting those rats for days, and surely at the end of this was a rat. Into Griswold's shop, a quick and decisive description of armor given a material requested. Some elf had whisked away with what dude needed, of course, he had. Why else would it be simple? Following a burning gold line right to the dude who was sleeping against a tree. He perks up, looking like one of the very elves of floor 13. Drawing a blade Celeste clasps her face with her right hand, rubbing her forehead. "So that's how it's going to be?"

Half of his ass goes one way, while the other half disappears. She'd easily cut him in half at the waist. Picking up the materials he had stolen, Celeste remarks "Thank you very much." in a sarcastic tone. Back to Griswold in what seemed like only a handful of minutes since she left. The smith looks her over almost inspecting how the hell it could have been so quick. "What I work fast, get it done." Celeste barked at him, tapping her foot as she took to waiting. The smith returned dumping her requested armor to the counter as if it would impress her.

It was crap.

"Thanks, I guess." Celeste peels it from the counter in a slump, enthusiasm visibly missing. Quest complete rings and fades the quest from the side of her screen. Oh joy, what a reward it had been.

As soon as she broke the gate she had performed a quick sharp tear across the first thing with a red name, cleaving it in twain in a scatter of bone. "Huh, what's with these floors and undead shit." Celeste quips as she rips the second half of the rotation back across the newly forming frame. The damage wrought was as excessive as it was magnificent. The thing could barely piece itself together, having been ruined in the blink of an eye. "Shame you just can't handle me?" Celeste spoke to it as it struggled to place its head back on the exposed spinal cord properly. Raising her axe she finds that the thing finally slapped the boney head back on, the skull slightly off center and twisted like an improperly positioned painting. Celeste raises a brow and honestly asks it curiously. "You good or do you need a moment?"

It takes but a single step forward before it succumbs to the damage, too much for it to bear. It falls to pieces like a spray of snow from a rooftop after slamming a door. Clacking across the dark stonework road, Celeste boots one of the bones before they proceed to disappear. "Wow, that was uh..." She eyeballs where it once stood before continuing the statement. "Unexpected?" Celeste wasn't too awful sure if that was what she meant, but hell she'd stick with it. A twirl of the axe in her right hand as she unfolded her legs, taking back upright. The cleaver was becoming more manageable, but the amount of power she was dumping into it on the regular was still a bit much to bear. The damn thing was extremely top heavy, Celeste was thankful her birthright endowment wasn't quite so lopsided. A shrug and a glance about for the next, she found another.

Celeste rushes right into the next, catching it trying to twist in response to her aggression and dumping a wedge like an edge into the creature's armored shoulder. It rattles and racks through the beast. A transference of force causes the one arm clutching a sword to go firing off becoming dislodged. Celeste allows the weapon to fall slowly, having literally disarmed this next one. "The hell put you guys together?" Celeste asked it hoping for some kind of response. The thing just eyed her back, two burning coal like eyes stuck in a slightly yellowed skull. "It's like you fuckers are held together with bits of twine and bubble gum. I mean come on. Go grab your arm, this is getting lame." She paused and pointed a finger like a command. The skeleton just looks to her and then to the direction she was pointing. Across the ground crawling back was an arm playing snail.

Leaving a moment of pause as the arm slowly trails its way like a slug or a snake back to the skeleton knight. "You good dude?" Celeste asks as it shutters and raises a shield, the arm still held on straight as it presents the weapon it so desperately clung to. "Alright then." Celeste rips back the axe and drives it across where the shield was on her immediate right. As before it punches clean through and sends the whole thing like a pinata in a fanfare. Like a spray of confetti out of a cannon, it rattles across the floor. "Good lord." Celeste cannot help but shake her head, taking a few steps toward the center of the slowly rolling bones. They were crawling toward each other in the most helpless display she'd seen yet. "Yep, someone took a break when they were making you." The redhead remarked finding the head in this pile of white as it moved around like a slinky.

Lifting the axe and stomping the skull causes all the moving pieces to simply stop. They turn to ash and then shatter to glass shards in a spray. "Sorry dude, you just got shafted." Celeste remarks tossing the head of her axe behind her head over her right shoulder. That familiar buzz of that little nagging fairy on her back. There was that stamina bar again, rearing its head right when shit was getting good. "Fine, Fine." She struggles to open her menu for a moment before screeching "FINE, SHUT THE HELL UP!." The girl manages to get it to stop, pressing her back to one of the walls of the labyrinth and sliding down. Guess it was time for a break, as much as the red headed woman hated the thought, she was still way too low of a level to continue despite her desire to do so. A slide of her head toward her left as she propped it on the cleaver's handle.

With her eyes batting forward, she looks where the skeleton was destroyed. There was something left in the wake of that thing dying. A reluctant heave forward helps her rise to her feet. Celeste ushers into the pile and as she knelt down to get a closer look it was identified. A single chunk of its black armor had been left behind, maybe it had some use? Surely it did given that it didn't vanish with the thing that wore it prior. A shift of her hand and a light in crimson makes it disperse, her eyes pushing through the slightly opaque menu to the ground behind. Once closed her gaze begin to dance about, investigating what else might just be left here for her to claim as a reward from the task completed. The red headed girl wasn't one to argue with the potential of free loot if it showed up.

Each one she found could have a price tag slapped to it and sold off in that newly obtained storage shed of hers. That would move her one step closer to an actual place to stay, moving her out of that damn slum on floor 1 with all those rabbling neanderthals she was constantly forced to bunk with. Yeah, it was cheap but it sure as shit wasn't comfortable. A good night's rest depended solely on them just getting too tired to stand up straight, which was fleeting, to say the least. As she inspected the floor she happened upon the other shoulder pad of the slain skeletal warrior, yielding a complete set of pauldrons. "Well whatever, wonder what I can sell them for." Celeste quipped as she scanned about, keeping her eyes peeled. Each thing she found would be one less that she'd need in the future. Cha ching!

There didn't seem to be anything left for her to pick clean, which given how much the thing was held together with bits of a string the girl was surprised that even these survived. A dismissal of this one as well to free up her hands, Celeste hears that little outcry she'd so desperately wanted to hear: Her energy bar topping back up to full. A wash of her emotion quickly ripening to another stint of giddy excitement, she raises both arms in front of her forcing the axe to once again appear in her grasp. She was back on track to the violence she sought, that little battle that made her blood pump in this place. Everything else was nothing more than a boring chore, a delivery service where she was forced to don a tiny brown hat and khaki shorts. Celeste was not fed ex, so why were the NPC's treating her like she was.

Right into the action, the girl was very clear on her goals, the next skeleton that had taken on a more morose blackish tint to its bones. Clad in a more silver cast armor than those before it, was too introduced to Celeste's massive and gruesome looking hatchet. It punches through clean, cleaving a single buckler in its clutches to pieces. Its entire top half spins 180 before coming to a stop. It cackles in a way that was intended to strike fear in Celeste. The girl does nothing more then smile as a result, however. Drawing the still in motion axe above her head it activates. Washing down the gleaming steel that composed the weapons head, that signature trigger of a sword art charging at the point at which the object would connect. The skeleton draws from its hip a curved blade as a rebuttal, they were about to exchange blows.

The skeleton raises its weapon with a hollow hiss that echos through the halls, it was clearly after Celeste's life. Celeste shifts forward and dumps the axe in a downward slash. It connects with the beast's clavicle bone right as its own serrated edge passes clean through the red heads abdomen. She didn't care, and the chorus of breaking bones assured her success. It snaps then catches, snaps then gets caught as it pushes down an array of ribs. The axe finally finds the floor and Celeste shifts her upper half slamming the thing with her left elbow. It staggers and slides back, removing the plunged blade from her torso. In its wake was a glowing red puncture. The crimson tide clutches it, looks to her hand and then grins. "That's more like it, come on!" as she moves for the kill she desired. Finally, something had got through the onslaught.

Shrugging off the damage done to her, Celeste quickly charges down the creature. The construct of black bones rips up a lit blade. She connects and quickly removes the defense it would provide the creature, shoving the weapon and the arm it was attached through clean through the entire frame. In an instant the whole thing buckles beneath her swing. It scatters in a spray before shifting to a blueish shade and detonating again, like a handful of tossed grenades. With its expiration comes the reward that would bolster Celeste even further. She was enjoying the fact that even on this floor she was able to hold her own, this was leagues past floor 1 and it had only felt but a handful of days since she was trapped there. "Good shit." Celeste remarks in agreement, remembering to keep an eye out for any chunk of things armor that could have survived her swings.

As before as the girls axe is deposited into her inventory, she knew full well that she'd be tapped. That was the routine that was starting to become rather well known. A scan about, a bit of that thing's shield was still left behind. Although it was no longer usable as a shield, it was of some sort of silver metal. Who the hell knew if the thing could be melted down and used again. It was good enough for her, hoping that the other half could be found as well. Hell maybe even someone could slap both pieces back together and make it again. Unsure who the hell would, it didn't do the skeleton any favors so at best it was probably an uncommon piece of rubbish. Even still yoink, it ended up in Celeste's pocket regardless. A flash of red light adds it to the ever growing list of odds and ends.

After some investigation, Celeste traverses the place in earnest effort to locate the other section of the buckler. A few fumbling around before that small gleam gives it away. The clack of her heels against the stone beneath her before a pause, her folding at the knee to lean down low enough. In a small pile of rubble, sticking out in almost a clean polish was the other half. She peels it free and eyeballs it, it sure as shit was the other section. "Nice." Celeste quips adding it to the other in the same fashion. She was one set of pauldrons and two halves of a whole shield richer, unsure if that meant anything at all. But she had it and was willing to take that gamble if it was even worth the weight. "Wonder if there is anything else, where is that fuckers weapon at?" She spoke a bit loudly to the walls, who quickly replied the same.

A short jaunt about as she runs a hand against the ridged walls, keeping an intense looking focus to the ground beneath her feet. Looking for that blade that the skeleton had stuck her with, maybe being able to claim it for her own. After a good few minutes of using her hand as an anchor and hugging the left wall, she comes up empty. "Must've died with dude." Celeste remarks to no one, a verbal representation of her thoughts alone. Shifting and flowing back toward the spawns show that one of the three had manifested. As she caught a glimpse of him, a ring of her stamina bar popped. It was like a dinner bell or a sudden epiphany by a sims 3 character. Right on queue, it was time for another bloodbath. Another line of her pockets of sweet cash money, the kind that walked on two legs and was made of bubblegum.

One such culprit was caught completely off guard, the girl washing in blue before the impact is heard. A clatter of her heels picking up pace as she closes the gap between them. A single draw in a flash of light manifests an axe that the girl immediately sheers across the creature's torso, cleaving a section of armor from its front. This one seemed to be wearing or was wearing some sort of breastplate. Now it wasn't. In that break neck pace, Celeste allows the axe to carry completely from its right to left motion, kicking the head upward as it vibrates with more energy. She was not one to hold back, save that previous moment with the one that looked like a pathetic kitten. But Celeste wouldn't be telling anyone about that, the thing was already filled with so much shame that it pained her to watch it fumble.

It looked that the A.I. had some configure that once the players weapon was moved away from their midsection they'd strike. This time was no different and like a broken record it repeats the same action. Celeste had hardly learned from the first, dropping a swing that connects with a dark looking helmet. The very same that covered a boney looking fleshless face. The helm is clipped in twain as the axe connects, digging in above the things right eye socket. It lets out a hiss as the two halves of the helmet clatter to the floor near the previously removed armor. Celeste pays very little attention to the sword now stuck through her like a skewer, a twist pops it loose out her side, as that grim axe spins off to her left side. She pirouettes and slinks the handle closer to her bosom, to amplify its draw as its brought back to her right side.

Adjusting its defense, the skeleton preps and grabs the edge of its weapon like a rod. It connects and shares the backlash of steel on steel in a shower of sparks. Both hold fast, the skeleton doing his best to disperse the blow in a half hand grip and Celeste trying to punch through the newly given protection. They dislink Celeste ripping the axe clean as the thing offers a sinister chuckle. "What's so funny asshat, oh wait that's on the floor." Her eyes dart to the cut in a half helmet in a jest. Its chuckle stops, feeling insulted as its face twists to a scowl. "Did I hurt your insides?" Celeste barks as the axe grinds across the floor near her right foot as it passes. "Then let me equal that out for you!" as she takes to a sprint, burning a groove into the floor as her hair sways.
