Freyd 0 Posted February 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2022 A new floor meant new information to be gathered, quests to be done and puzzles to be solved. Most importantly, it meant that O&I needed to get their butts in gear and get a lay of the land. Freyd had already traveled to Ronbaru to sneak a peak and ensure that they wouldn't be running afoul of weird taboos or special floor conditions that could cause trouble. So far, everything seemed fairly mundane - maybe even a little too much so. This 'Lapis Society' had all the markings of a stonemason's-style super conspiracy, and warranted a bit of extra scrutiny. After making a few clandestine enquiries and obtaining a few contacts, he deemed it safe to interact more openly. They slammed him with a rescue quest for his trouble. Fair enough. It offered a reason to call together a few colleagues to shake off some rust and see how an assortment of non-conventional pairing might work out. And so, the Firm Anima Kung-Fu Club was born! Simply put, the guild now had an unusually large number of martial artists in its ranks, including himself as a recent addition. Why not see if they could actually function as an effective group? To: @Kiluia Seiko@Lium@Kasumi From: Freyd New floor opened up. Time to limber up and get cracking on seeking out its secrets. Meet me in Ronbaru, on floor 27. Also, we're hitting a chicken joint if they have one. Not sure why, but cravings. *** Freyd | HP: 1080/1080 | EN: 142/142 | DMG: 24 | MIT: 78 | ACC: 5 | BH: 59 | LD: 5 | FLN: 16 | HLY: 16 | PARA IMMUNE | REC: 8 Full Stats: Spoiler Freyd, The Whisper in Shadow Level: 32 Paragon Level: 103 HP: 1080/1080 EN: 142/142 Stats: Damage: 24 Mitigation: 78 Accuracy: 5 Battle Healing: 59 Loot Dice: 5 FLN: 16 HLY: 16 PARA IMMUNE REC: 8 Equipped Gear: Weapon: Samael's Pride (T4 MA | HLY 2 | FLN 2) Armor: Fallen Angel Garb (T4 LA | Mit 2 | Rec 2) Misc: The Shadowed Rose (T3 Trinket - ACC 3 | Para.Imm) Custom Skill: Skills: Martial Arts R5 Battle Healing R5 Light Armor R5 Searching R4 Charge Energist Quick Change Extended Mod Limit Active Mods: Night Vision Tracking Meticulous Untraceable Inactive Mods: Addons: Ferocity Precision Resolve Reveal Stamina Active Extra Skills: Disguise Survival Forgotten King’s Authority Hiding R5 Inactive Extra Skills: Meditation Brawler Photosynthesize Battle Ready Inventory: Teleport Crystals x7 Mass HP Rec [Inst] (+30*T HP) x7 Mass HP Rec [Inst] (+30*T HP) x7 Crystal of Divine Light (Reusable) x1 Rhino's Horn (Reusable) x1 Hmr.Pk: The Thing Behind All Lies (T4 Demonic WH, AA, Blight, Static, Para.Ven (Off)) x1 Housing Buffs: Rested: -1 energy cost for the first two expenditures of each combat Clean: The first time you would suffer DoT damage in a thread, reduce damage taken from DoT each turn by 20% (rounded down) Working: +2 EXP per crafting attempt Filling: Increase the effectiveness of a single food item consumed in a thread by +1 T1 slot.

Lium 1 Posted February 20, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2022 "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.

Kiluia Seiko 0 Posted March 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Lately, he found himself being messaged more frequently than usual from the guild. He had kept tabs on everyone for a time being until he gave up since Haine left. He stared at Freyd’s message before closing it. A slight sigh escaped his lips as he stood up from his chair in his shop. The lights were already off as he often just kept himself busy with baking. With that moment, he patted the penguin's head and sent her home. Amber eyes shifted to the gate and he selected the 27th floor. With a bright flash, he simply found himself surrounded by people who seemed to be going on with their daily lives without even bothering him. Strange NPC’s,he thought. With that moment, he moved forward out of the teleport and headed to his destination with the map open. It had been quite some time since he stepped out into the world and this was all too new for him. Senses seemed to be overloaded with sensory data absorbing all of the new surroundings and how strange yet calm it felt. He continued south until he reached his destination of Freyd and the newcomer. One hand was removed from his pocket as he made a peace sign at the two. “Yo. Figured I’d check out this new place since ya brought it up.” White hair settled and he brushed it from his eyes. “Ya look good Freyd… Names Kiluia or Kil for short.” He introduced himself to the other person.

Kasumi 0 Posted March 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Rolling around noon, the daylight was still vibrant and alive. It would have been quite some time before it would be dwindling, and Kasumi had found herself taking a bit of a respite. Her butt wiggling in a white chair, not unlike standard lawn furniture. In front of her, a circular table with a rod jutting out of its center. Adorning its top, an umbrella that conceals it from the sun. Her signature hang out on Floor 2. In front of her, a rather interesting shaped glass, and a smattering of whites and reds pushed into a cup. Something tropical and questionably healthy~ish. A ring alerts the girl, and she lets go of the spoon, which starts to sink into a sea of yogurt. "Freyd, but it was my day off." A slight swell of her cheeks. The girl didn't get a whole lot of time to herself, and she was looking forward to the thought of how to spend it. The screech as she lifts herself from the table, the chair sliding out from beneath her. Settling her bill with a waitress in a yellow apron, dropping a bag of coin into her palm. Seeking out Taft's warp plaza, to save on teleports, given these things didn't grow on trees and the context of the message didn't seem too urgent. "Floor 27, Ronborro? Ranboru?" One of those phrases work and fire up as if shot out of a cannon. Immediately in the center of a large circle of streets, the darkness was notable. Must have been another underground floor? Catching Freyd with a wave, and recognizing Kiluia from about two different affairs. "I'm here!" she chirps, a soft clap of tabi on stone as she hops down and starts to join with the group. "I am staying away from the chicken though, proteins are bad for my skin."

Freyd 0 Posted March 6, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Having put his waiting to good use, Freyd was chatting up one of the local academic pseudo monk dudes when Lium arrived through the portal. "Thank you kindly for the information," he said, bowing slightly to the woman, who returned the gesture, then turned to walk away. Her deep blue robe verged on the edge of violet in colour and seemed unusually vibrant for such dark cloth, and she seemed to be getting carried away by a soft breeze rather than actually walking. "Long time man, how goes it?" Freyd's demeanor soured at the sight of the man's icon paired with a carefree, jovial attitude. He'd noticed the orange crystal sported by both Celeste and Lium during that business with Razwell and the airships. The fact that it was still the same hue suggested that Lium was either really stupid - twice - or really, truly stupid once. *Sigh* "Let's just get this out of the way, before the others arrive. What happened?" He pointed over the man's head, ignoring his Caribbean getup completely. It took a lot more than that to get his attention, and he'd already seen the ship during the battle. @Lium Link to post Share on other sites
Lium 1 Posted March 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2022 "Look man, it all happened so fast. As far as I'm concerned it happened while you front line people were dealing with that Gabby dude. Kinda surprised to see he was on our side at the end of the day." Lium stretches, his arms above and behind his back for a moment with a yawn. "We stole that ship and everything on it, we saved those refugee's that are our crew now. They refer to Celeste as the Raven Queen," Lium chuckles at this a bit. Buttoning his cuff on his sleeve. "We had to find a way out and up with follows that couldn't go the same way the others could, so we did. We taught them to fight and they became our mates, we fixed up the ship and arrived at the battle. It all happened really fast." Glancing up at the icon of his, shaking his head. "To be perfectly honest, I really didn't notice it at first. With some readjustments that ship also became our home, Celeste, I, and this guy Nobody and our crew." Lium hoped that it was enough to allow Freyd to be okay with this. Lium was also growing fond of Celeste but wasn't going to add that part. Was unsure what he was feeling and wanted to make sure it was really and not just all in his head like Sam was. He was glad that little Sammy moved on, but he had to as well.

Freyd 0 Posted March 8, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Arms crossed in front of him, Freyd listened in silence and without reaction, letting Lium tell it as he saw it. When he was done, Freyd just gazed at the crystal, recalling what it had done to the likes of Mari. At least she had earned it in the worst possible fashion. Lium had just stolen a ship? And now Celeste and some other players were along for the ride? Who was he kidding? Celeste would have led the charge, damning the consequences as she went. "Reckless." He shook his head, disappointment clear on his face. "But you've made your own bed. I just hope it doesn't get you killed as a result. Keep away from cities. Let me know if you need supplies of any kind. The guards will attempt to kill you on site." Even Marv, he thought, dreading what one of the city sentinels could do to a player. "I hope it was worth it." Link to post Share on other sites
