Nisahime 0 Posted August 20 #1 Share Posted August 20 (edited) A slide of her knife, plucking the crystal from its current home. She was in a cave that was highly recommended by Eruda. It was said that there were plenty of materials of all sorts. This cave was actually bigger than she thought it would be. Each room had a different load of stuff. This room or the cavern that she was in was littered with a numerous amount of performing crystals sticking out of the walls, just waiting to be gathered by her hands. Gently but swiftly she sets her tools point between the crystal and the rock. Right then her HUD chimes with a quest. They were two days late with the invitations. Without another thought she accepted their request. She would finish up here before she headed that way. Taking a few more crystals in her grasp before swiping her hand through the air. A portal appears and she walks in.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 20 Author #2 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Coming out of a black misted portal, in direct vision the small trail leading up the mountain. One that she has walked several times before and this time would not be the last. There was going to be at least six more times that she would have to walk this path. Each task done up here was different but nothing that she wasn’t used to doing on the daily. Tracing her hand across the air again the dark hole would vanish. Making it about half way up, she would see the Minotaur. The moment that he sees her, he turns and starts walking up. On the way up there were a few run ins with rocks falling down the cliff side at them both. Morrighan would make a shield appear out of nowhere and block each instance that occurred. The creature glances back at the woman to thank her. To be honest it was a bit weird.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #3 Share Posted August 21 (edited) These things that were supposed to be NPC’s were constantly doing or saying stuff that they shouldn’t be able to do. Maybe they were the people of the old world who were standing to remember themselves, wouldn’t that be a doozy. After a few more blockings of boulders they eventually get to the top. The creature actually kept pace with her this time and wasn’t out of breath either. A small glance toward him with a brow raised slightly. Shaking her head she heads to the large white mansion and pushes the huge metal doors open with little effort. All the figures were standing there in a half circle staring at the door looking at Morrighan the minute she walked in. “What am I on trial for?” A blond steps forward from the group with a smile and a violin in hand. “Your crime, being too good at all the challenges being thrown your way.” Quest Objective | Speaking with Apollo, god of music and medicine Post Action | 251132, CD: 1+1=2, LD: 12+1=13 -> Foraging R4 EXP [443/499], Successful forage: +11{AMB} EXP, +1 Material Edited August 21 by Nisahime Link to post Share on other sites
Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #4 Share Posted August 21 (edited) “Hmm, you got jokes, funny” smiles creep on every single face staring in her direction. Eventually they begin to chuckle. “We want to hear your music. Gather some recording crystals, record some music for us for keeps sake. As for the grand performance, a musical battle with me. Any instrument of your choosing.” She twists her head slightly at the thought. “You know who will be winning that battle right?” Morrighan states in a questionable opinion toward the blond. He smiles “Let not call it a battle then, rather an experience. Better choice of words I do say myself. How about it?” Morrighan shrugs her shoulders. She had never had fans before just people who followed her to check up on her or to figure out what she was up to. This was a bit different, it was a good change of pace. “Sure, it could be fun I guess. Be back soon” she turns and walks out.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #5 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Letting the door close behind her as she stands there staring out at nothing in particular. Morrighan was trying to make sense of what was happening to these NPC’s that were making them show excitement. This wasn’t supposed to be a thing but somehow it was. Morrighan could not rack her head around it. Moving forward now shaking her head, she had to drop this for now and get started. She didn’t want to waste the entire day here. Last time she was here she remembered a cave that had shiny bits inside. From the distance she couldn’t tell what was in it, it was also not the priority at the time. Having a feeling that it was this time, she walks behind the large white building and starts her journey. Passing a small divot, taking a left, the cave entrance was still sitting there. Good, though for sure it would have been gone.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #6 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Into the cavern, she sees those same gleaming lights from before. It was further in than she thought, twisting her lantern on her hip, light illuminates the darkness around her. Being able to fully see now, there were many different colors of crystal plastered against the walls. Some were huge and others were the size of paint brushes. It smelled of some form of chemicals, drops of condensation drip to the rocky ground causing an echoing off the walls. Going further in, she wanted to find the big whammy, the mother load of crystals so that she didn’t need to come back. It was also to note that a repeatable crystal, one that could be put on repeat and didn’t need to burst, looked a smidge bit different than the normal ones. That is what she was looking for. If they wanted music, she would give them something that she didn’t need to come back to provide more.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #7 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Footsteps splash against the small pools of water dripping on the ground. There was something relaxing about just listening to nature making its own music. Bats screeching in the distance, vibrating the floors causing the liquid to create tiny waves moving outward from itself. Her hand touches the damp walls as she trails down the deep path ahead of her. Shadows of light flashing just around the corner about ten yards forward. It wasn’t just one color, it was many. Moving a bit quicker, turning left. There were rainbows glowing on the ceiling from light reflecting off the water. This was pure beauty at its finest. After a few seconds of fawning over the view, she would start to get to work. A small chisel and pick are pulled out as she observed each material. The crystals that were a one time use had very small fracture cracks inside that splintered outward. This makes them easier to break.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #8 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Most people don’t know this, but it wasn’t really important to most either. The reusable crystals however were wholesome. Solid all the way through, perfect. The ones that had the faint shine added to the pure color are the master crafters best friend. It could never be broken after the content was placed on it. Holding both tools in her left hand as her right would gently touch the rough texture. Eyeing each very carefully in hopes that this cavern had what she needed. After some time of looking, there was a larger crystal on the furthest back wall sticking straight out. With a grin she would take a quick look with a “Yup this one, come to mama” saying as she divides the tools in both hands and taps lightly against the material. The thing was one of the biggest she had seen here. She actually might need to make note of this place so that she could come back later for more when she was done.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #9 Share Posted August 21 (edited) There was plenty of room to work on each piece which made it incredibly easy. So much material here, she wouldn’t be surprised if this shit didn’t grow back when taken. With each part carved off and dropped, she would catch it, setting it into the satchel hanging from her side. Maybe since Firm Anima shared that other place with her, she would share the location of this one. While her hands worked her brain was in deep thought. It didn’t take much to gather quickly or efficiently, she could even do it with her eyes shut if she wanted to. Morrighan was wondering if she should give the NPC’s waiting for her buffs or debilitate them, or even heal them. Maybe she would just record a couple simple songs just to make them happy. They were already impressed with her so it wouldn’t take much for them to keep that feeling.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #10 Share Posted August 21 (edited) A few more crystals dropped into her satchel, still unsure what she was going to do. Her hands suddenly stopped, she knew exactly what she was going to do. Plans were racing through her head and weirdly enough, she was excited about what she was about to do. The first thing that she had to do was clear the room. This was the largest area that she had seen and she could hear the echoes of creatures down the cavern halls. Sounds of droplets dripping on the floors in small puddles that had formed. All the ambient noises around would make a great touch to what was about to go down. Clearing the room was her priority at the moment. Taking her pick, chiseling what she could to make room. This was going to be fun. After a few minutes she takes out three crystals from her bag and sets them two feet evenly apart on the ground.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #11 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Opening her HUD, she would take out a cello and a violin. Setting each of them as she took them out against the wall. The last instrument that was pulled out was a piano, this was why she needed the room. Taking the cello, she would put the blank recorder down at her feet and sit on one of the larger crystals that she left there on purpose so that she had a place to sit. Tapping the recorder with her foot to start it, she began to play. A blue light pulses underneath her, droplet and screeching adds to the music that was being played with little to no effort at all. It was something that she played often back in the day of her old life a long time ago. It started out slow paced, it gradually got faster and louder. The ambient sounds around her joining as each note echoed off the walls.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #12 Share Posted August 21 (edited) The colors under her feet pulsed from blue to green then to purple and red before it cycled back to blue again. Tapping of her foot as it made little splashing sounds adding to the music. This went on for about five minutes before the song that she expressed was over. Taking a deep breath, reaching down to stop the recording of the first crystal with a smile. Making the cello vanish back into her inventory she would take the violin in her grasp now. Grabbing the second crystal she would set it down below her feet again, tapping it with her foot like before as she started recording the violin piece of the song. It sounded different but it was the same song. The same color pulse below her as she closes her eyes, getting into it. The surrounding noise added to this as well. She was unsure how it all was going to turn out when merged but it couldn’t be that bad right?

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #13 Share Posted August 21 (edited) After five minutes like the first performance the music ends and makes the violin vanish into her inventory after stopping the recording. Glancing to the piano, taking a deep breath, one left. Picking up the last empty crystal she sets it on top of the piano. Sitting on the bench, tapping the crystal to start the recording, she began to play. Like the other two times, the colors pulse beneath the bench. Slowly the music gains momentum and gradually gets stronger. You could feel the emotion with each press of every key. Vibrations of the ground surround the cavern wall, she would not be surprised if people outside could hear the performance. She allows this to continue and last a bit longer than the other two so that this would be the last melody they heard when they were all merged together. Rounding the end of the song, the harmony gets softer, acting as a story that was meant to be told beyond her ears.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #14 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Eventually it became quiet, all that could be heard was the drops of water splashing into the small pools. Letting this continue for a few more seconds before tapping the crystal again to stop the recording. With that the master pieces were ready to be put together. That would have to wait until she got back to the large white building. For proof that she did this herself she would play alongside the recordings during the merge. Picking up the recording, placing it in a separate pocket with the other two. She would place her hands on top of the piano as it vanishes back into her inventory for safe keeping. Taking a deep breath with a smile, she would walk back out of the cave from where she came in. Around the building with confidence shown in each step she would walk to their piano. Placing the three crystals on the tops she would take a seat at the bench.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #15 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Turning herself to look at them all staring at her, “I gathered the stuff that was needed and made a few recordings. Each is played with a different instrument which you will hear soon.” Pulling out a blank crystal setting it in line with the other three before looking to Apollo. “I will be merging all three sounds together while playing along on this” saying as she lifted the lid. “If you think that you may have something to add to it then you can join in. Let it be known though it will be recorded as well.” Apollo simply nods with a smile, “Lets see what you’ve got.” The blond does not pull his instrument up yet, probably waiting to see if there was anything that could actually be added. With that Morrighan turns, taps on the empty crystal for recording purposes and then taps on the other three in tandem.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #16 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Right then she would start to play with the music that she created. Playing with it perfectly she even closed her eyes. Morrighan’s foot was tapping on the pedals below while her fingers sway evenly against each stroke of the keys. Right then she hears to her left where the man stood starting to play along. She would never admit it but he was actually good. Eyes open as the music echoes in the huge ball room giving it a sound of its own. As impressed as she was with the man, she was still leagues ahead of him. It was loud but damn near perfect. The only thing that would possibly make this better was a singing voice. As she said before all this, she didn’t want to go completely overboard. She would not give him that satisfaction. All but the piano and the man stops playing. After a minute, it all stops.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #17 Share Posted August 21 (edited) The room was silent, everyone was staring. Raising her hand up, she stops the recording. Picking it up she hands it to Apollo, “Are we done here?” The man takes the crystal and gives her an amulet with a smile. “Yes Morrighan, it has been an honor to play with you on this day.” Twisting her head slightly, she was the one staring this time but only for a moment before getting up from her seat and walking past all the joker that surrounded her. “See you all next time” she knew that there would be a next time giving she had to do this quest at least seven more times before it would finally be over. It was the price that she had to pay if she wanted to be a master at every craft in this game's ridiculous content standard. After she walks out the door, Apollo would walk to a glass container, opening it up, placing the crystal inside.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #18 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Everything that Morrighan had done here already had been recorded and plastered in a frame of some sort. She already saw what was displayed but she didn’t draw attention to it. It was almost like she had fans. She didn’t really know what to think about it so for now she would go about her business as usual. That was until she got the invite for the next craft in line. Walking past the creature that moved up with her, she stops and looks back. “You should put a bow on your horn, it would look nice.” The creature would nod his head as Morrighan would begin walking down the long path. It was still a little bummer that she couldn’t portal out but whatever. The only reason she told the thing at the top to wear a bow was to see if he would actually get one. That would be the start of her investigations toward whomever these NPC’s truly were.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #19 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Simple put if the creature was not wearing the bow tie when she came this way next then no harm no foul. If they were then she would know that there was something else going on here. Until then she would let sleeping dogs lay for now. Right now she would pay a visit to her warriors at the guild hall. If there was no one there when she would leave a note with a location. She could message something but this would be more fun. Leaving a note with a location and her name might light a fire under their asses to check the gathering cave out sooner rather than later. The mystery of it all was so thrilling. A few crystals could be seen walking down this path, without wasting any more time she would pull them out of the dirt wall. A few that she yanked free would cause a small cave in but luckily she had already passed that point.

Nisahime 0 Posted August 21 Author #20 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Arriving at the guild hall she would find no one there. Shrugging her shoulders she would grab some parchment and write the location of the recording crystals gathering point and sign her name at the bottom with a smiley face. Clapping her hands together like she was dusting something off, she would walk out doors. Heading to the place that she was before all this started, she would spend the rest of the day gathering crystals so that she could finish what she started. The NPC’s were still on her mind, she would have to proceed with caution if she wanted to figure anything out. Maybe she would send one of her messengers to do some investigation work too. More hands meant more help, she wasn’t going to argue with that. In time she would figure it out. One thing at a time. Eventually showing up in the cave she continues to pick like nothing happened.
