[PT | PP-F05] Sharkbait OOH-HA-HA <<Bloodstained Land>>

[KnightessCiela 0]

Ciela had only just recovered from her last visit to Floor 5. The scorching sun, the endless dunes, it was basically a sandy sauna with monsters. She, Wulfrin, and Astra had somehow managed to take down both the Sandshark and Avalanche in a single chaotic day. Just thinking about it made her want to drink three gallons of water and take a week-long nap. The desert was not her favorite place, but it had what she needed: another Terra Firma Scale.

With a sigh and a roll of her shoulders, she swiped open her menu, the soft glow of the interface flickering against her fingers. An idea had struck, clear and sudden. She didn’t have to suffer the dunes alone. She tapped out a quick message to two players she trusted, ones who wouldn’t mind diving back into the heat with her for a solid cause. With that, the plan was already in motion.

To: Acanthus & Wulfrin

Hey, wanna smack around a sand shark? Meet me on F05

 

Ciela stood just off the main path, eyes scanning the hazy horizon for any sign of movement. Her husband, the top of Acanthus’ red hair, or even Kumaki charging ahead like an excited little cannonball. The desert air shimmered around her, heat rolling off the dunes like waves off an oven. She took another sip of the cactus juice she’d packed. It was cool, slightly bitter, and certainly helped take the edge off the heat… but it wasn’t exactly the quenchiest. Still, better than nothing. She wiped a bead of sweat from her brow with the back of her hand, only for several more to immediately take its place. Her clothes clung to her from the dampness, her armor heating up like a skillet in the sun. Ciela fanned herself half-heartedly with her menu and muttered, “If they don’t show soon, I’m turning into a baked good out here. And not the fun kind.”

Ciela takes a portion and offers to the rest of the party: (5/6)

[desc.] Too lewd and inappropriate for the System to render fully. You know what's hiding behind that mosiac. Ya nasty.

Ciela also consumes a portion of Wulfrin's gungnir:

[Acanthus 0]

Another call to kill Terra Firma. How could she refuse? One day, that scale was going to make the difference between life or death. It never hurt to have some additional mitigation whenever it counted the most.

After getting lost in Fortaleza longer than she cared to admit, Acanthus finally found Ciela, waiting just off the main path through town, sipping on what looked like a refreshing drink.

“I’m still not used to seeing you in all that armor,” Acanthus remarked. She approached her friend with a warm smile. “Not that it’s a bad look; it’s just that we only ever seem to meet up for the less death-defying quests. But in that armor, I imagine Terra Firma will have a hard time dealing any damage at all.”

As an afterthought, Acanthus dug a small scrap of paper from her inventory, bearing a small and messy paw print. “Kumaki says hello. She knocked over the largest stack of ink and paper in the music room yesterday, then proceeded to 'sign' half of the papers as I tried to catch her and clean her up. Although I suppose it was my fault for mentioning your cookies while she was keeping me company. I’ve spoiled her on your baking quite a bit.”

Acanthus looked around the vacant plaza. “Are we still waiting on Wulfrin? Or anyone else?”

"Present," Wulfrin spoke as he drifted out of Acanthus's shadow. "Just wrapped up with Abdullah. He was nice enough to give us free reign of Terra Firma's arena. Dunno what had him in such a good mood today though. Maybe he managed to hit the hookah bar this morning."

Wulfrin tapped the shard of metal around his neck causing a spread of meats and cheeses to appear next to the mosaic that was Ciela's feast. He was pretty sure it was a hot dog of sorts, considering that's what it tasted like when he ate himself a portion, but the pixelated item was pretty much incomprehensible. All together they had a pretty decent feast to use between the three of them. This round of fighting Terra Firma should be a walk in the park.

"At any rate," Wulfrin continued as he gestured to the door. "Probably best we get a move on before the sun gets too much higher. The desert is a scorcher."

[Astra 0]

It wasn't often that the novice Pierrot found himself on Floor 5, hanging out in the settlement of Fortaleza. Hell, he could count the number of times he'd been here on one hand. Yet still, Astra braved the arid environment and strolled through the sandy paths of Fortaleza, perusing stalls and shops and generally just adventuring. There was nothing in particular that he was searching for, besides a cure for boredom. He wasn't much one for remaining dormant, so getting out of Ciela's house and checking out some lesser known areas (to him) seemed like an adequate way to kill time. 

Astra continued to wander through the main paths of Fortaleza, finding nothing too interesting besides some of the vibrant tapestries around the settlement. As he made his way further down the main road, Astra spotted some familiar faces coalescing into a group before his eyes. Ciela, Wulfrin, and another player who seemed to carry a similar gravitas to them were seemingly discussing plans, and snacking on some suspicious food. I don't want to intrude, but I could go for a snack... Astra walked closer to the group and started off with a wave. "Oh, hey! Fancy seeing you here. Are you guys about to fight some sand sharks?" That was the only reason Astra could think of that would explain what they were doing on Floor 5. It was the only reason he had been to Floor 5 prior. Thankfully, Astra was comfortable with both Ciela and Wulfrin, so he wasted no time before picking up some food from the plates in front of him.

"Would you guys need an extra hand? I wouldn't mind taking down Terra Firma. I don't have anything else going on right now."
