[F01|SP] Hunting Grounds | <<Grind Thread>>

[Sakura 0]

Resources had become scarce as of late, and Aoi knew that she would need to stop putting off the effort required to replenish and replace what she had used. Though she could have bought some of the materials she needed to continue her trade, she was also aware that a large percentage of those materials were subpar compared to what could be found through a single dance through the fields.

’Besides, Kaie, I could use the exercise and practice. It’s been a while since I’ve done a simple combative adventure.’ She didn’t want to think about how long it had been – days, if not weeks, at least. She’d become busy dealing with a number of personal issues, and she’d found herself wandering from the path of warrior into the path of tailor and something else. Knowing that she would need to step up her game, she’d come to the decision to go on a simple hunting trip, scouring the first floor for the various goods and materials that were commonly found on the creatures that called it home. ’A day of hunting should be enough, don’t you agree?’

The small robot had given a chime that sounded like an agreement to Aoi, and she’d nodded in satisfaction before preparing to head off – checking the crossbow on her vambrace and ensuring she had all the required ammunition she could possibly need, before leaving behind the small shop she had begun to call home.

Calm and quiet wasn't usually a term provided to any form of online gaming centre, and yet here Aoi had to admit that a measure of the two seemed to lay over the fields before her. She could see the various outlines and figures of other players and creatures moving about - some in contention with one another, some simply enjoying the weather and the peace that could be found among the large grasses. Aoi had paused to glance about and take it all in, considering her own position among the various bodies in the distance, before deciding there wasn't much worth considering about it at all.

 

'Don't give me that look, we both know that there's little to be done for them as it is.' Aoi spoke softly as the sounds of Kaie's beeping reached her ears. The robot was quiet in nature - the beeps muffled and hesitant, as if someone was speaking a question that they weren't sure they wanted heard by anyone else. Aoi had, however, become accustomed to hearing the noise and responding to it - a fact that she was certain irked Kaie ever so slightly, if the thing could even feel irk and frustration. 'Still, I'm not saying that you should be considerate of others. Simply that we're here for a singular purpose, and finding new companions isn't among that purpose.'

 

She took off down the hill she'd crested upon, making her way through grasses that were little more than thigh heigh against her presence. Small whispers of wind gusted around her as she headed deeper into the wildlands, knowing that she could find further peace and solitude deeper within the grasslands - places where most players avoided at lower levels, and areas that would provide her with more fertile hunting grounds.

 

There. Those two will be a good starting point. She triple checked the weapon built into the vambrace, ensuring it was secured and loaded, before stepping forward and bringing herself into a short sprint towards the pair of boars. Neither creature moved in quick reaction as Aoi closed the distance, the crossbow coming up as she pulled her arm back in preparation.
