Lysette 0 Posted 4 hours ago #1 Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) <<Betrayal of the King>> Home ownership suited Lydia. It was so nice to have a place to call her own. Abellio and Oscar had insist that she take a small loan from them to buy her first place. It was more Col than she'd seen in years of dancing for the denizens of the Town of Beginnings. Her place hadn't been anything massive. Just a small studio apartment nestled in the trees. Her favorite part had been those high windows that gave her a perfect view of the forest. She found that she spent most of her time there, working. Muffled music could be heard on the air, notes flowing freely from her apartment. Since she'd bought the place, she'd done little more than install a small workshop. A chair and a mix table, headphones and all of the instruments that she could ever want. It was her perfect little retreat. A place to simply play music and be without having to think of anything else. She sat in her little swivel chair, headphones blocking out the world while she turned knobs and dials, mixed and remixed whatever music she'd made that day. She would occasional provide the vocals, if she made an instrumental track that she thought was good enough. Finally content with it, she removed her headphones and lifted her arms skyward to stretch out the tension of being huddled over that deck for so many hours. She sat awkwardly, feet resting against the edge of the chair and her knees to her chest. They, too, felt tense and numb. But she would need to walk it out. She let her arms rest against the edge of the table, fingers drumming upon it as she gnawed on the inside of her cheek. The music was good, but it wasn't perfect. Maybe if she adjusted the pitch. Lydia reached for those headphones again, ready to get back to work. She jumped when she heard staccato knocking on her door. She leapt to her feet and took a step only to immediately fall flat on her face. "AHHH," she exclaimed as she slammed into the wooden floors. Her legs were jelly after sitting for so long in such an awkward position. She shot back to her feet, pins and needles searing up and down her legs. She wobbled for a bit, stepping over an abandoned violin as she carefully walked to the door. "Coming!" The knocking continued unending, filling her home with the rapid-fire sound of knuckles on wood. Finally, she flung open the door, revealing Abellio looking off to the side as his knuckles continued their motion without realizing the door had been moved. Finally, it caught up with him that he wasn't knocking and his head swiveled towards Lydia. "Hey! I got a new sword! Come help me try it out!"

Abellio 0 Posted 4 hours ago #2 Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Abellio didn’t really know what possessed him to go this long without getting a proper weapon. Maybe it was because he was rocketing through the Tiers and didn’t want to bother with it. Of course, that required that he had some future plan sorted out. He didn’t. Skills were bought simply off of the merits that they sounded cool. He accidentally on purpose wound up with a somewhat functional character build. So it was at that point that Abellio decided to actually get some gear. Holding his new sword, he made a beeline for Lysette’s place. He hadn’t seen much of her since Oscar and he had given her the loan to get her own place. Of course, she’d also just opened that shop on Floor 1 so he imagined that she was pretty busy working on some stock for the place. That being said, he wanted to go on an adventure and try out his new weapon. A good excuse for wanting to see her. He’d had fun on their last outing, even if Oscar had done all of the heavy lifting. And he got the sense that she had too. So it made sense that a repeat was in order. Walking up to her apartment nestled in the trees, he could hear the melodies well before he could see her front door. Abellio wondered what her next song would sound like all put together. And as he began furiously banging on her door, there was a glimmer of a thought that maybe he shouldn’t disturb her. It would just delay her next creation. He pounded on her door for a long moment until the music stopped. He heard a crash and a small scream, then her voice - flustered and hurried - through the door. Abellio found himself taking in the sights as she flung the door open. And he was distracted for just a moment, until he noticed that he wasn’t feeling the feedback from the wood on his knuckles. He turned, meeting her gaze with a bright smile. “Hey! I got a new sword! Come help me try it out!” Lysette merely blinked. Then she let out a heavy sigh. She clearly wasn’t dressed for an adventure in her dark too-large tee and sweatpants with no shoes. An issue that was easily rectified with some quick menuing. It was crazy how she went from loungewear to stunner at the push of a button. She grabbed a pair of round shades that were hooked on the outer pocket of her jacket and slid them onto her face. “What are you thinking, then?” Spoiler "Name: Abellio True Tier: 3 Level: 21 Paragon Level: 0 HP: 465/465 EN: 60/60 Stats: Damage: 26 Mitigation: 64 Accuracy: 3 Battle Healing: 5 Stealth Rating: -5 BLD: 36 PARA Equipped Gear: Weapon/Armor/Trinket: - <<Vanguard's Bastard Sword>> T3 Perfect OHSS | BLD II, PARA I Armor/Trinket: - <<Comfy Socks>> T3 Perfect HA | MIT III Shield/Armor/Trinket: - <<glasses>> T1 Perfect Trinket | ACC III Combat Mastery: - Combat Mastery: Damage R3 Combat Shift: - AOE Shift Familiar Skill: - Custom Skill: - Skills: - Battle Healing R1 - Heavy Armor R5 - Straight Sword R5 Extra Skills: - Forgotten King's Authority - Lady Luck - Assault Mode Inactive Extra Skills: Addons: - Ferocity - Focus - Iron Skin Mods: - Impetus Inactive Mods: Battle Ready Inventory: Housing Buffs: - Basic Kitchen: Increase the effectiveness of a single food item consumed in a thread by +1 T1 slot.

Oscar 0 Posted 4 hours ago #3 Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) ‘HEY OSCAR IT’S US!” The bell over the door to Oscar’s shop was drowned out by Abellio’s bellowing. Oscar turned his attention from the fryer to the door, smiling widely as he saw his two newest Guild mates walk into the restaurant. Oscar wiped his hands on a towel and stepped out from the back, leaning against the counter as they stepped up. “Well this is a nice surprise. What brings you two all the way out here?” Oscar had been rolling mostly solo for a while. Social calls had been few and far between. It was an odd feeling, he had to admit, to have people swinging by so often. But he wasn’t about to complain. Abellio was clearly coming into his own and Lysette… Well the fact she wasn’t running screaming for the hills after that fight with Terra Firma was a good thing. “I got a new sword! Was wondering if you could help Lysette with that Forgotten Time King dude. I think I could really help out this time!” “And uh, I picked up those Leadership skills. I didn’t like being dead weight.” “Impressive,” Oscar said as he opened up his menu to equip his combat gear. He tried not to sound condescending - and he really hoped that he wasn’t. Oscar was quite happy to see that his two newbies were coming into their own. Which reminded him of another that he hadn’t checked in on in a while. “Sounds like you two have it all figured out. I'll tank it for ya. Let’s go grab one more to round out our party. I really don’t want to need to make this trek again, honestly.” Spoiler "Name: True Tier: 10 Level: 34 Paragon Level: 65 HP: 1000/1000 EN: 132/132 Stats: Damage: 26 Mitigation: 212 Accuracy: 6 Evasion: 1 Battle Healing: 55 Loot Die: 5 Stealth Rating: -5 PHASEREC: 4 HLY: 16 BLI: 32/-20 Equipped Gear: Weapon/Armor/Trinket: - <<DIVINE RANCOR>> T4 KATANA - HOLY/HOLY/PHASE/BLIGHT Armor/Trinket: - <<TACTICAL UNDER ARMOR>> T4 HEAVY ARMOR//MIT/MIT/MIT/REC Shield/Armor/Trinket: - <<IVORY GOLD LEAF RING>> T1 TRINKET//ACC/ACC/EVA/EVA Combat Mastery: - Combat Mastery: Damage R3 Combat Shift: - AOE Shift Familiar Skill: - Custom Skill: - Skills: - Battle Healing R5 - Charge - Energist - Extended Weight Limit - Fighting Spirit - Heavy Armor R5 - Howl - Katana R5 - Quick Change - Searching R5 Extra Skills: - Forgotten King's Authority - Meditation - Parry - Survival Inactive Extra Skills: Addons: - Ferocity - Focused Howl - Iron Skin - Precision - Reveal - Stamina Mods: - Detect - Impetus - Night Vision - Tracking Inactive Mods: Battle Ready Inventory: - <<CRYSTAL OF DIVINE LIGHT>> ID: 236066 x1 - <<DARK SERAPHIM>> T4 HEAVY ARMOR - VAMP.D2/HOLY BLESSING 2 x - <<GLOVES OF CAERUS>> T1 LIGHT ARMOR//3 LD x - <<IMUGI'S INSPIRATION>> MASS HEAL x - <<Kyūketsuki>> T4 KATANA//ABS.ACC/PHASE/VAMP2 x - <<RHINO'S HORN>> ID: 236068 x - <<SANCTITY'S RUIN>> T4 KATANA - FROSTBITE/BLEED/BLIGHT/BURN x - <<TELEPORTATION CRYSTAL>> x - <<TIGER'S BALM>> ANTIDOTE x Housing Buffs: - Basic Kitchen: Increase the effectiveness of a single food item consumed in a thread by +1 T1 slot.

Warren 0 Posted 4 hours ago #4 Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Warren’s shop on Floor 7 was meticulously kept. It was a force of habit. When you generally worked with explosives, it was a necessity to keep certain chemicals away from one another. The living quarters off to the side were similarly kept. A total bachelor pad. Just a bed, a table, and one chair. Warren didn’t have people over for dinner and he preferred it that way. He was busy tinkering with beakers containing different colored liquids when he heard the door to his shop open with a loud chime. That also never happened. Turning away from his work, he saw a trio of people standing in his entryway. Only one of them he knew. The man stood up from his work, pulling a smoke from his breast pocket and lighting it once he was well away from the chemicals. It had been ages since his benefactor had darkened his doorstep. “Oscar,” he said curtly, taking a drag from his cigarette and blowing the smoke out of the corner of his mouth. Away from his guests. Always away from his guests. “What’s up?” Oscar merely shrugged. “Wondering if you’re bored. Taking these two out on a pretty lucrative quest. Wanted to see if you were down to soak up some experience.” Warren looked back at his workshop, then towards the door. He realized that he’d been cooped up for quite some time. But details. “Who’re your friends?” The red-head cut in first. He stepped forward and held out his hand in greeting. Warren merely started cooly at the offered hand, taking a long drag from his smoke with his other arm crossed over his chest. If the kid took offense, he didn’t show it. “I’m Abellio,” he said as he retracted his hand. One would think someone would feel a little sheepish after being denied so curtly, but Abellio kept that dumb grin on his face. Stupid or impulsive? Maybe both? “Lysette,” the woman offered. She didn’t seem quite as bombastic as Abellio nor nearly as obstinate as Oscar. Warren appreciated that. He regarded her presence with a slight nod and turned his attention back to Oscar. “Like the real life pop star?” Warren asked. His gaze narrowed, leaning forward as he scrutinized her through the smoke. "No shot. You performed for my battalion way back when. Autographed my shirt. How did you get stuck here?" "Um..." She shifted uncomfortably. Warren realized that perhaps he might have said too much. "No, wait. My mistake," he said. "Think I got a little excited. She had blue eyes." Warren turned his attention to Oscar. "I could use a walk. Where to?"
