Mari 1 Posted 15 hours ago #1 Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) Mari found herself drawn to this floor more and more often. If her workshop wasn't hidden away close to her house she may very well have moved her home here. There was also the matter of her pyromaniac beau. Having a house surrounded by snow is one thing; but having a house surrounded by very burnable trees? Might be a bit harder to contain their more passionate romps. Mari hadn't really had any particular place in mind - she simply just wanted to do something away from everything and everyone. Mari wasn't ever made to be a social person. Yet things constantly pushed her to be. Her batteries were fucked. Dead. Ain't no way they'd be charged, even by her paramour. So, she walked the floor; enjoying the scenery till she found a lake - about 10 minutes from the main settlement, Ronbaru. Perhaps a little too close for her liking, but Mari wasn’t going to be picky. She pulled out a small cushioned stool from her inventory and allowed it to clatter uselessly to the floor as she set up her rod. Wasting no time in casting it. Perhaps....Mari should have baited the hook first, because she got nothing.

Mari 1 Posted 15 hours ago Author #2 Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) “Well…” Mari said with the most heaviest of ever sighs, as she reached out to grab the empty hook that hung and swung from her fishing rod. “That’s what I get for not putting bait on it…” She said, even though she didn’t need to say a thing, it was as though she just had to say something to fill some sort of empty space. Anyway, Mari wrapped some bait around the hook and threw it out. After a few minutes the floater bobbed, dipped below the lakes surface. Mari could already tell what it was just by the weight of it, a material. It wouldn’t be much but it’d be something. She slowly reeled it in, her movements almost mechanical. As she really was just going through the motions. Then plop out came the little material crystal as it skidded across the water. Mari quickly pocketed it. She didn’t need to make the same mistake as last time, letting it all pile up on the floor.

Mari 1 Posted 15 hours ago Author #3 Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) Mari yawned, tears stinging her eyes as her mouth opened wide. “Yeesh…” She arched her back and it cracked and popped in several places. She looked at peace here, amidst the falling red maple leaves. But she was still a Pker. At least one player had already passed her on the way to Ronbaru - pausing to stare at her, his mouth wide. Looked like he was about to piss himself. Mari stared back, then flipped him off. He ran. “Dumbass…” Mari muttered as she threw out her line. Hopefully nothing would come of it. Surely he wouldn’t go around telling everyone there was a Pker casually fishing in the field. Gods forbid a person sit and do the Aincrad equivalent of nothing. After a few minutes of her floater staying still Mari reeled in the rod. No luck this time. That’s alright. Her eyes shifted to the sun. She had time, Mari planned to spend most of the day doing this.

Mari 1 Posted 15 hours ago Author #4 Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) Standing from the little wooden stool Mari paced to the right a few steps then back, wanting to get some blood flow back into her legs. She repeated this a few times then stopped to grab some more bait. With practised ease Mari wrapped it around the hook then with a small fwoom her line was cast. Mari had to admit…she was a little concerned about that previous player. Then again, he also seemed like he would be too scared to do anything. ‘Sides what would be the worst that would happen? He calls up a couple of his friends and they come running? Mari could disable them from afar and run off before they even drew their weapons. Thunk Oh. A chest. Mari pulled hard on her rod then with a few spins of her reel; pulled it up. “Aight…” Most of the stuff she got, she’d probably throw toward Star - get her Col count back up. She wanted to be sitting at a reasonable amount. Everything cost a damn premium for Pkers. No wonder why half of them just resorted to stealing everything. “Mmmm…not too bad.” Mari said to herself. No dungeon Maps, but she didn’t really see the point in using them anyway.

Mari 1 Posted 15 hours ago Author #5 Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) Still standing, Mari cast out another line - barely an hour had passed since she started, and she wasn’t really bored yet. She had time to herself here. Time to her thoughts. Time to relax and destress. Next time though…maybe she would invite someone else. That could be nice. Fond memories of a friendly competition between an old friend resurfaced and Mari couldn’t help but smile. A simple material. Mari held it up to the sun, watching it twist and turn - the crystal glimmering as a shattered rainbow light shined upon Mari in glimmering fractals. “Yanno….” She said to herself, as one does when they spend as much time alone as she does. “It’s crazy how I seem to get more items than I do materials…maybe fishing isn’t what I remembered.” Mari wasn’t really planning on returning to her alchemy profession. Unless it benefitted her, and those she considered family. Anyone who wanted to shop for anything could go somewhere else. Not her problem. Still, it was nice to know she had a small stockpile. “Maybe I should see how many of these things I need to craft up some crystals these days…” ID:248002 LD:1+1 CD:6+1 =Material got Practiced Angler: 2 Fishing EXP per Attempt and additional +1 LD & CD to fishing attempts. --- +2 Exp -Practiced Angler +8 Exp - successful catch CURRENT FISHING EXP TOTAL: 168 -- THREAD LOOT +2 Material Unidentified Rare Armor/Shield (2) ID:248001 Unidentified Rare Trinket (1) ID:248001 Edited 6 hours ago by Mari Link to post Share on other sites
Mari 1 Posted 7 hours ago Author #6 Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) Mari was back into a peaceful rhythm. It reminded her of a few years ago, before being in prison. Before being dragged into Jacobs Ladder and being a pillar - the precarious time she had between her initial return from a recluse hole and her time burning fast as one of the strongest frontliners. It was…nice. If only it stayed that way. Mari heard voices in the distance, she couldn’t help but turn her head to look. That man was back- too far away to ascertain any real features from him, but he had two other people with him now. They were staring her down - one of them, a blonde - shook the middle man and pointed at Mari like she was some kind of sideshow attraction. Again, Mari drew her hand up, flipping them off. Once again…the action was enough to cause them to run. Back to Ronbaru. It was gonna be one of those days, wasn’t it? “Ah. Damn.” She said to herself, her attention turning back to the line - it was too much of a distraction - and she missed her chance to fish up another material, or chest. Or whatever the hell else she would manage to get from here.

Mari 1 Posted 7 hours ago Author #7 Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) So…now there were three of them, flittering around her - Mari hoped it wouldn’t be a problem. They were just a couple of players, concerned for their safety. Right? They weren’t going to bring about some sort of witch hunt for her. Surely. Besides, how would any of them recognize her? She hadn’t set foot in Ronbaru. She couldn’t without being shanked by one of the guards. Another bait set to the hook, another cast thrown out - and a quick thunk. Good. That was good news. Mari reeled it in and shook the water off the small chest. Another chest, as Mari opened it and tipped it upside down water splashed over her feet - soaking her shoes and socks. The woman groaned. The feeling of wet socks…the absolute worst. A bunch of unidentified items tumbled out, a dim glow to them. More money for her and Star at least. She’d need a lot of it so she could finish fireproofing her home.

Mari 1 Posted 6 hours ago Author #8 Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Fireproof bedsheets….The woman very much doubted it. That was fine - there were other places to do things beside the bed. Maybe Lancaster could hold back? Nah. Fuck that. That’s the last thing Mari wanted. So…did that mean he didn’t sleep in beds? Mari couldn’t exactly ask him if he had banged other women and if he set the bed on fire as he did - that was none of her damn business. His past was his past. Just as hers was hers. She’d be pissed if she were judged for being with Oscar. Oscar was a great friend, with amazing benefits - but those benefits were…no longer required. It didn’t mean Mari still didn’t want to see the man. Maybe, their friendship would be a little better without that haze of lust that constantly addled all their interactions. Oh but Oscar would not appreciate Lancaster being Laughing Coffin at all… Mari pursed her lips. Come to think of it, it had been almost a week since she had seen him. Maybe Mari should reach out to him. Quote To: Oscar From: Mari Subject: Lets chill and chat soon. Mari paused as she stared at the message. Oh, he’d 100% take that the wrong way. Lets chill and chat soon. No hookups, just chat. I have updates. Yeh. That’d work. A small tug on her hook and there was another material to add to the collection.

Mari 1 Posted 6 hours ago Author #9 Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) She’d wait for his message, and couldn’t help but laugh at the face he would pull when seeing it. Would Oscar be disappointed? Maybe? Then again - he was a very handsome man and Mari knew he had a number of callers. Having one less would probably barely put a dent in his horizontal dalliances. Mari wouldn’t miss the intimacy, there was none between the two -just physical attraction, a simple need to fill desires. But it had been nice - Oscar definitely had a way with him and Mari could see why he easily had so many people fawning over him. It was an odd way to cement a stronger friendship to be sure, but at least they still had that friendship. Hopefully her current partner wouldn’t get in the way of that too much. Not that Mari had planned to tell anyone about Lancaster. A few jokes? A hint that she was seeing someone? Sure. But to tell them who he actually was? Hell no. She wasn’t going to put him in danger like that. “Mmm…” Mari glanced down at her rod, no luck. No materials, no nothing. Damn. Well. She had plenty of time to try again.

Mari 1 Posted 6 hours ago Author #10 Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Just as Mari cast out her line again she could hear the rustle and crunch of leaves as someone approached. Three people approached. Mari inhaled deeply and held her breath, waiting for the inevitable verbal beration that was coming her way. “WHat are you doing here?” She exhaled and turned to glance over her shoulder. A mousey looking man with peach fuzz stubble and bright green eyes. Mari tilted her head as her eyes shifted to the fishing rod still in her hand. “Uhm….Fishing?” The man next to him - about a head taller and bald with blue eyes and a very thick black handlebar moustache cleared his throat. He wore chainmail, and had a long sword at his side. His hand resting on the pommel. Was that supposed to be a threatening pose? How could anyone take him seriously with a face like that. “Miss.” He began. His voice terse. “We asked what you were doing here.” He wasn’t being serious, right? “Ugh…seriously…” Mari turned back to her rod and reeled it in. “I’m literally fishing. That’s it. Nothing more. I’m not bothering anyone.” Mari stood and turned to fully face them. “I’m Mari.

Mari 1 Posted 6 hours ago Author #11 Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) The man with the handlebar moustache spoke first. “Andrew.” He gestured to the mousey brown haired kid with stubble. “This here is Ben.” Then that left the other - a blonde man with long blonde hair tied back in a tight man-bun. “That’s Atticus. We’re here investigating a…” His eyes travelled up to Mari’s crystal. His face soured as though he just saw something disgusting. Mari was used to people like this, so much so that it didn’t even bother her anymore. “PKer sighting. Why are you here.” Right…Mari got it now, all three of them were dressed in the same similar chainmail outfits - each one with a metallic chestplate. On that chestplate a sword with a star around it - as though someone went wild with clipart. Some kind of makeshift protection force, or knighthood, or whatever the fuck they wanted to call themselves. “I told you.” Mari gestured toward the lake, then shook her rod. “I’m fishing. Watch.” She cast out her line, and the hook hit the water with a small plop “I ain’t got my weapon out. I ain’t causing trouble.

Mari 1 Posted 6 hours ago Author #12 Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Ben was the most skittish of the three, but at least he seemed to be the first one to actually believe her. “M-Maybe that really is all she’s doing…We were looking for a guy anyway.” Mari’s ears perked as she kept her back to them, listening to the conversation. No situational awareness. No care for what they should say in front of a stranger. A man. Interesting… Mari heard a thunk. Good. A chest - with a jerk that caused Andrew - the moustached knight to draw his sword. “Chill the fuck out.” Mari said as she went to pick the chest up from the lake. “I’m just grabbin’ supplies.” Mari threw the unidentified items into her inventory, barely looking at them. Mari turned to look at the three; they kept themselves at a safe distance, and since all three of them held long swords - it also left her at a safe position. Not that they knew she had other tools at her disposal. “And if you’re looking for a guy - I am lacking one appendage, and have an extra pair that I am pretty sure your target doesn’t have.” “This is a ruse.” Andrew said with a smirk, as if he cracked some kind of secret hidden code Mari had. “You’re scouting the area for your friends, so they can rampage through the town again. We’re still rebuilding after that fire.” That got Mari’s attention. “Fire? When?” “Don’t act like you don’t know!” Andrew spat. “It was nigh on a week ago! Taverns burned! Performers wares destroyed!” He pointed his blade at her, which caused his two companions to take a step back. Not wanting to get involved. “And you are casing the area again.” ID:248019 LD 9+1=10 CD:10+ 1 = 11 = critical success CHEST Practiced Angler: 2 Fishing EXP per Attempt and additional +1 LD & CD to fishing attempts.

Mari 1 Posted 5 hours ago Author #13 Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) “I’m….casing the area?” He nodded in return, a confident smirk. “Sooo….” With a practiced motion Mari baited the hook again, and threw it into the Lake, refusing to break eye contact with this ‘Andrew’ guy. Then with a quick jerk she pulled it back up, snapping the material crystal off the end of the hook - and throwing it in her inventory. “So…that, that looks like casing the area?” “Yes” “It looks like fishing, boss.” Atticus remained silent. Oh to have the patience of a fucking saint…Mari drew in a deep breath as she ran a hand down her face. She could already guess what happened. A burnt bottle of whiskey that started their dangerous dalliance…a pilfered performers store - oh that had Lancaster written all over it. Somehow. That didn’t bother her at all. “And did anyone die?” “That’s not the point.” “No” Atticus remained silent. “I’m just fishing, leave me alone.

Mari 1 Posted 5 hours ago Author #14 Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) Shit like this is why people would just shank others. Mari wasn’t like that, but had she been anyone else, hell, had she even been Lancaster - she doubted the others would have the patience. The constant glares, the questions. The accusations. The sniffing around her personal business. It rubbed her the completely wrong way. Andrew stepped closer, his sword lighting up. Ah. So he meant to attack her. “Are you two going to do the same?” Atticus remained like a statue, refusing to move or speak, but in response to Mari’s question he closed his eyes and shifted his head to the side. He wouldn’t get involved. But he wouldn’t stop it either. Ben, the peach fuzzed man vehemently shook his head, taking a step back and behind Atticus to shield himself. “So, you are some kind of self proclaimed Knighthood - but instigate violence against a single killer. She placed emphasis on the word as she dropped her rod to the ground. “One of you think is in cahoots with this…man…whoever who torched your town. If I really did know them - wouldn’t you be more cautious? What if I set a trap?” Mari pulled out a small metallic case from her satchel, then from that - a light blue syringe. “You’d have walked right on into it. If you’re gonna be so bold as to attack me. You should do your research.” At the sight of the needle Andrew screamed, and charged forward. “Andrew wait!” Atticus had finally called out. Recognition flashing in his eyes. But it was too late. Mari quickly and easily ducked under his blow. It was clear he was a decent level, but if his experience was only against monsters, and not people then he’d be sloppy. Mari grabbed hold of his arm and pulled it taught, finding a large gap in the haphazard plate armour he wore she injected him with the tranquilizer. He screamed then slumped down. “Second warning.” Mari sad as she dropped Andrew to the floor. “Pick up your friend. He’ll wake up in about…hmm, looking at his size, maybe 4 hours? 8 at most.” Mari signed as she grabbed her fishing rod. Please Let them leave her alone this time.

Mari 1 Posted 4 hours ago Author #15 Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Mari cast out her line in an attempt to not look so ‘dangerous’ Meanwhile Ben was trying to haul Andrew up and over his shoulder. “Y-You didn’t…kill him did you?” “If I did you’d not be carrying him.” Mari said flatly in response. “Get him out of here, I need to talk to her.” Atticus said, and Ben gave the tall blonde a small nod. And not so quietly, not so gracefully started to haul Andrew off. When the two were far enough away Mari breathed a sigh of relief. The main instigator was knocked out cold. Served him right. This is exactly what she was talking about with Freyd. These were safe and effective ways to disarm and dissuade others. She wasn’t entirely sure he could see it that way. “And you?” Mari asked toward Atticus as her fishing line hit something hard. Another chest. Good. At least she’d get something out of this. She pulled the chest hastily out of the water and started dumping its contents unceremoniously onto the floor. This whole ordeal had soured her experience. She had planned to sit here till she maxed out her fishing skill but this? Ugh. “You’re….Mari, right?” Atticus asked, voice quiet, tone unsure. = ID:248023 LD9 +1= 10 CD:12+ 1 = 13 CRITICAL SUCCESS Practiced Angler: 2 Fishing EXP per Attempt and additional +1 LD & CD to fishing attempts.

Mari 1 Posted 4 hours ago Author #16 Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) “Whose askin?” Too many damn people knew her name lately. She was in jail for two years and had hoped she had mostly failed into obscurity, yet somehow it felt every other person knew her in some way or another. Mari tugged on the fishing rod and grabbed the dangling material crystal from the end of it. “I…thought you were dead.” He said quietly. Reserved. “No. Very much alive. So are you, and your friends. You pick fights like that with the wrong person though and you won’t be.” Mari sighed as she turned to face him. She had half a mind to burn that man bun right off his head. “Make it quick before I do the same to you, and I can’t give you the courtesy to drag your ass back to town. So you’d best hope they find you before the people you hunt do.” She made no allusion to the fact that she knew exactly who they were looking for. Hell, a part of Mari wanted to reach out to Lancaster and tell them to go do it again just because they pissed her off - but he probably would. And Mari didn’t need her anger issues to be the reason half a settlement burned. Atticus hesitated, taking a step back. “You’re not going to …” His eyes darted to the side, as though he were trying to find the right words. “Flip out?” Mari snorted. “For someone trying to choose their words carefully…you’re doing a shit job. No. I’m not going to flip out. As you put it.” -- ID:248025 LD8 +1= 9 CD:6+ 1 =7 successs Practiced Angler: 2 Fishing EXP per Attempt and additional +1 LD & CD to fishing attempts.

Mari 1 Posted 4 hours ago Author #17 Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) “If you do…I wont hesitate. If you have any affiliation to the one who-” “Oh, Oh…what was your name again? Atticus?”” Mari asked, clearly pissed. The tone caused the man to take several steps back. Mari had to remind herself to not allow anyone to know that she and Lancaster had a connection. That wasn’t safe for him. She gave zero shits about her own reputation. It was already in the mud. “Won’t hesitate to what? Go on. Say it with your chest.” Another step toward him, and he- another step back. Mari dropped her fishing rod. Silent rumbling fury roiling beneath dangerously calm cerulean eyes. He threatened her. He threatened Lancaster. A flick of a wrist. And a thin wire was pulled from the leather glove on her right wrist. “Go on Atticus, I want to hear you say it.” She said with a deathly calm. “I want to hear you say you’ll kill me.” “I’d…I’d kill you.” “Ha! There it is!” Mari threw the thin wire toward him and it immediately wrapped around Atticus’ throat, sending him crashing to the floor as he choked, trying to pull the thin wire away. “I gave you two warnings already.” Mari said cooly. “This. Is your last one…” Mari knelt down beside him and picked him up by his stupid man-bun. “I’m going to let you go. And you’re going to leave. I don’t give a shit what you tell anyone else. Tell them I set the fires. Tell them I tried to kill you. I don’t care. Im fucking done with people like you. Leave me alone.” She pulled on the wire, carefully unfurling it from his neck. “Now, Fuck off.” Atticus ran.

Mari 1 Posted 4 hours ago Author #18 Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Mari sat there in the grass for a moment. Breathing in and out with shaky breaths, that was really hard. Mari knew she had anger issues but she thought she had most of them under control. The moment he even tried to threaten Lancaster though she just saw red - it took every ounce of willpower not to at least hurt the men who dare had the fucking audacity to think of touching… What. Was. Hers. Quote To: Lancaster From: Mari Subject: People are snooping around your exploits in Ronbaru. As Mari sent off the message she stood and headed back to what was supposed to be her little reprieve. She picked up the rod and threw it in for one more cast off - almost immediately the telltale thunk of a treasure chest. “Thank fuck…” Mari muttered as she reeled it in, and emptied out its contents. This was supposed to be a calm and peaceful reprieve. Instead, she got the 3rd degree by a bunch of frontliner wannabe knights who bowed the moment the pressure was put on them. “I’m done here… fuck…” Vanity Tag @Lancaster @Raidou??
