Teion 0 Posted August 15 #1 Share Posted August 15 (edited) Teion was nervous, but she could not explain why she was nervous, and perhaps that was the most frustrating thing of all. The woman with the long purple hair had already spent a few minutes loitering outside of a prominent shop in the Town of Beginnings, not yet daring to go inside but not so bold as to park herself right in front of the door. Once again, she eyed the bright tailoring shop from a bench she now sat on as if she were weighing her options. A short time had passed since she first got the notification. ’Multiple professions…’ She mulled the concept over in her head for the hundredth time now. She’d made a name for herself as a blacksmith. She’d been crafting armor and weapons since the game started. Blacksmithing was her thing. But what if… What if crafting was her thing? Any item. Any consumable. Unrestricted access. Even unidentified drops were on the table. Teion was locked into a thousand-yard stare as limitless potential once again dangled itself in front of her. When she finally blinked, the tailoring shop came back into focus, and it was like some wire finally snapped in the back of her head. As if on auto-pilot, Teion pushed against her knees, stood up, and marched herself over to the door. The sweet jingle of a small bell announced her arrival. A man greets her immediately, and a quick glance around the bright room reveals she’s the only player in sight. Teion keeps a straight face. ”Right, can I take the Tailoring profession?” She meant to gauge the NPC’s reaction, but the quick smile and continued dialogue left her pleasantly surprised. It seemed to be working. No mention of giving up her current profession, resetting her EXP, or demolishing her shop. All was right with the world. Yet still, she felt nervous. She was tasked with gathering materials. Of course. Teion nodded along at Richard’s request, and when the window appeared before her she only hesitated for a second before tapping the little circle to accept the quest.

Teion 0 Posted August 15 Author #2 Share Posted August 15 (edited) Gathering was tedious. There was a reason she was always so desperate to find steady sources for materials. It didn’t matter how many times they’d let her take the gathering professions, she would craft every item in the game twice before she’d spend hours on end wandering the countryside picking leaves and breaking open rocks. Teion’s face was fixed into a permanent scowl as she trudged past the main gates and into the open fields. Her eyes wandered and her mind mulled over each prospective path she could take, then started weeding out each one by how long it would take to complete. With a sigh, her gaze settled on the collection of board that dotted the landscape. The lesser of two evils. She didn’t even bother drawing her weapon at first. First, she had to gather enough of them up to make the energy she would spend cutting them down feel worth it. So, Teion jogged out into the field.

Teion 0 Posted August 15 Author #3 Share Posted August 15 (edited) She nearly had to clamber over each boar to demand its attention. The things were aggressive by nature, but her level disparity meant that she had to get awfully close to them to trigger their attacks. She only winced a little when the boars chasing after her rammed themselves into her legs. If they weren’t so big, she’d liken them to street cats demanding attention. It wasn’t until she’d rounded up over half a dozen of the creatures that Teion finally stopped and turned to face her opponents. The boars squealed out of sync and scrambled over themselves, combining their efforts to begin whittling down her HP through sheer determination. Her self-healing kicked in before long, cranking up the incline on their uphill battle. Teion reached behind her to find the handle of her battle axe and delivered one wide sweeping motion in front of her to begin cleaving them down.

Teion 0 Posted August 15 Author #4 Share Posted August 15 (edited) The boars let out pained squeals, fell backwards, and some exploded into pixels just as soon as they crashed into the ground. Her wrist turned, she grasped with her other hand to balance the weight, then swung back the opposite direction. Again. And again. They funneled into her weapon while it spun and slashed straight ahead, the weakest of Aincrad’s monsters presenting themselves to the slaughter for the sake of crafting progression. Their numbers thinned and the cacophony of snorts and high-pitched squeaks gradually diminished. Teion hoped she’d grabbed enough of them to get all she needed in one go. It would be such a pain to have to wait for another batch to spawn. Finally, the last of them fell. She was awarded with a single dialogue box that condensed her spoils into a list. Thankfully she’d met the requirement for materials gathered. Well surpassed it, even. One glance to her energy bar left her grimacing, though.

Teion 0 Posted August 15 Author #5 Share Posted August 15 (edited) A look of unappeasable disgust pulled sharply down on the corners of her mouth. ”AOE abilities are too expensive…” She quietly complained to herself, retiring her axe behind her with a soft 'click of the item settling into place at her back. Despite being built for it, despite the discounted energy costs that her invested skills allowed her, it seemed she couldn’t even farm the most basic of monsters for loot without chewing through half of her resources with a big pull. At least without extra, external buffs. She didn’t like pestering Ryo to cook for her if it was solely for food buffs. It was plenty nice when they were at home together and he’d make a nice dinner for the two of them to sit down and chat over. It would be sweet of him to pack her a lunch, but if she was only scarfing it down to get stats out of it… Post Action | Gathering Materials by Combat [6/5] Recovery… ID#: 250034 | CD: 8 - 8EN recovered [Forgot to roll, did it out of order, sorry] Teion attacks!

Teion 0 Posted 14 hours ago Author #6 Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Her expression had softened considerably by the time she made it back to Richard’s shop. Daydreams of Ryo patiently teaching her how to cook paired with visions of the look on his face when he’d eat something delicious that she made for him left her with a soft, far-away smile and a faint pink dust on her cheeks. The chiming of the shop’s bell pulled her right back to reality. She was greeted with that same jovial enthusiasm, and since the game registered the quest as in progress for her, Richard’s dialogue shifted from his usual greeting. He had set her up in front of a sewing table where she was expected to craft her first item. It had to be basically the same as blacksmithing, right? The game wouldn’t bother making entirely different crafting systems for however many professions there were. When she grabbed the scissors sitting on the table she was relieved to see a guideline appear that showed her the exact shape she needed to cut. Easy. Sewing was another story, though. After Teion’s thread shattered in between her fingers for the third time, she let out a growl of frustration. ”How am I doing it wrong?!” She demanded to know, close to shouting at the fabric clutched in her hands. ”You just stick the needle in and follow the dotted lines. What am I doing that breaks it?” She demanded, yet no one would answer. She didn’t wait for one besides. Instead she grabbed another piece of thread from the table, impatiently held it in place next to the needle until the game registered her action, then went to stab the fabric once again. Though her temperament wasn’t built for embroidery, Teion eventually got through it. With a slightly shoddy red scarf to show for it, she huffed and dismissed the quest dialogue in front of her. She wasn’t looking forward to practicing.
