Quests and Events

Coming Soon!

It was a bright day... Perfect for a boss battle. A huge crowd had gathered, waiting for the people of the Liberation Group to come and tell them what to do. There was a lot of whispering between the crowds, asking if they really could do it, what would happen to them if they died, wondering how long it would take to take the boss out.... People were uncertain, but some of them had their resolve firm in their hearts. They weren't about to let their lives go to wate inside a game they didn't even want to be into. Soon enough, a figure appeared before the masses. A man, wearing heavy armor and with a shield strapped to his left forearm. In his chest, there was a cross.

Garnet

"Well met, comrades!" He shouts. "I am one of the big wigs of this guild, the Liberation Group! My level is 78 and my name is Garnet! Glad to have all of you onboard, bastards!" No one could deny that this man who called himself Garnet was intimidating. He had a stern look in his face and resolve filling his eyes. Garnet reached to his back and from it, he grabbed his sword, unsheathing it in one swift movement. "Right now, we are headed to the bridge connecting here, Alkharn, Tokyo, and The Island of Departure!" Moving his sword sideways as he speaks, he seems to feel the fear that seeped into some of the people in the crowd when they heard they were heading towards the Island. "But don't fear, people! If you fear the enemy right in front of you, then you're just as good as dead! Don't you all want to get out of here?!" The crowd looks at each other, uncertain of what to say. Garnet closes his eyes and starts shouting even louder. "I SAID, DON'T YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE, YOU BUNCH OF WUSSIES?!!!!!" He slams his sword in the ground. Now, he had caught everyone's attention. Most of the people looked at him with shock in their faces. "Because I do! And I don't care, I repeat, I don't frigging care of what any of you has to say about it! I am getting out of this world filled with uncertainties and return to my normal, real life! And I will stomp anyone who stands on my way! Be it a boss, be it the Island Of Departure or be it those jackasses from New Terror!" He takes a deep breath. "Now, I will ask again. Who is with me?!" Now, this time, a lot of people stand up and unite in a big cheer. "That's it, bastards! Now, you have an hour to resupply and prepare yourselves, we leave after that!"

Location: Alkharn.

Faction: New Terror.

Everything else will be added later. For now, take the same monsters as in Alkharn.

Hebigami was in the backstage, more especifically, her home. A big, big building that she had bought all for herself, at least, the upper floor, since the New Terro meetings were held in the lower floors. Her snake, Myrion, was resting in a shelf nearby. She extends her arm to it and it wakes up, looks at her arm and tilts its head. "Now... It is time, Myrion. We shall go give our peers a pep talk before heading into battle." When she says that, as if the snake understood what she had said, it start crawling through her arm and ended up in her neck. Hebigami put it on like a scarf of sorts and then started making her way down. A devilish, evil smile drew itself on her face. In the lower floor, the other New Terror members were having quite a blast. Drinking and singing, some were even fighting it out just for fun with duels. When she made her appearance, a skimpy guy with bags under his eyes noted her and slammed his hand on the counter of the bar that had been installed there.

KuroTetsu

"Hey, you noisy idiots! Shut the hell up! The queen herself has come down to grace us with her prescense!" As he says so, his voice is high-pitched and grating, as if he were making fun of Hebigami. However, that proved to be false when he kneeled down as Hebigami walked beside him. When she was beside him, Hebigami took out her gun, pointed at him and pulled the trigger. "Gihii!" The guy lets out a cry and tries to protect himself from the bullet. From Hebigami's gun, there's smoke coming out from the barrel. She smiles at him.

"Silly KuroTetsu, you know I can't hurt you in Safe Towns. She says, with the same smile from before. KuroTetsu starts nodding desperately in agreement with her. "Do something about that damn voice of yours, before I decide to gut you out." She says and continues walking. KuroTetsu, who should have been scared, rather, was blushed and breathing heavily.

"Thank you, Hebigami-sama!" He shouts and bows all the way to the ground, to show his gratitude.

Hebigami continues walking, and everyone in her way moves aside as she walks. After a while, she finds herself in the middle of the room, everyone in there watching her. She looks at them... and she starts laughing. "Did you hear what those guys of the Liberation Group want to do now? They want to challenge the boss of the bridge to the Island of Departure!" She says between laughs. "Aren't they crazy?! Why would they want to go there?! Don't they want to stay here forever?! Hey, don't you think it is stupid..." During her last words, she turns quite more serious. Some of the guys inside the bar know how twisted she is adn how crazy she is, but that craziness often comes in handy when they need to protect things like this. "As much as I also want to explore that Island, we can't let those asshats clear it. And the best way to keep them out is the boss. So...." She opens up her arms and her snake crawls unto her right armd. "What do you think if we go and rain on their parade?! Some bullets and steel, of course!"

"YEEEES!" The crowd answers, all in unison.

"Then, off we go to the bridge! Take as many prisoners as possible!" The crowd was cheering until that last part, where everyone looked at her funny, as if she had just insulted their great ancestors. "Because I want to torture them until they beg for mercy...." She says, in quite a seductive way. Now, in a less cheery way, the crowd cheers again. They know that going against her is bad news, so they'd rather just follow her orders.

On the Far side of the map, the sun had set a few hours ago, And upon its setting, a large airship had settled overhead. Two loan figures clambering down from it, One berating the other.
“I still say this is not a smart idea Rin-Rin.” James commented, Using the ‘pet name’ He’d made up for his partner, Who, as of this moment on the ladder had several pencils in his jaw, so could not respond. “We know this is a group dungeon for level sixty ish, and you want to go in, just the two of us to map it out.” He shook his head and sighed, his necklace clinking softly. “I don’t know. The things I do to keep you happy.” He smiled wryly in the light of the airships lume-casters.

Not two minutes later they were on the ground, Nathanial stretching out and running through his spell list, waiting for Rin to finish getting his gear set up. After a short time, they started the walk towards one of the more recently emerged Dungeons.

___________

About twenty minutes or so later, after several loud rumbles and what sounded like something soft getting splattered over a wall there was, at first, a faint yelling noise, rapidly getting louder and louder slowly it resolved itself in to the words “I told you so!” as the two adventurers came barrelling out of the demented city, James dragging Rin, using his other hand to hurl fireballs over his shoulder at seemingly random. “I swear to god, Next time, I’m going to let you do it alone!” He threatened before slumping down at the end of the bridge. He lay on his back shaking his head. What shocked him is that this island was famed for its low level monsters and easy grinding areas, Low level players could go from level 1 to level 30 in a few hours, as well as getting at least tier two mastery. And then pop. Up comes a level sixty raid dungeon. That no one had even got past the first room of yet. As he lay there contemplating James noticed something, in the top left of his vision his health was still dropping, very slowly, about 1 health every five seconds, and he was in combat, so his natural regeneration didn’t kick in. “Huh?” He sat up and looked round, highly confused. Then noticed what was attacking him. There was a chicken standing part way down him, trying to get at the rations in his pocket. “OH cluck off.” He groaned and snapped his fingers. There was the sound of thunder and a roar as he fired of a ThunderShock, the chicken was instantly fried, Rin sat up and nearly jumped out of his skin as the spell went off. James on the other hand had already picked up the lightning-cooked chicken and torn a leg off. “Want a midnight snack?” He offered.

[Rinion]

Atleast the smell of freshly cooked chicken could take Rins mind of the recent failure even if the cooking process nearly scared Rin to death. "im sorry about all that i really didnt think it would be that hard". Rin said as he pulled his collar straight and grabbed a chicken leg from his companion.
"just out of curiosity im guessing you wouldn't want to go back inside to carry on the research would you?" He said as he turned away and messed around in his bag almost like he knew what James would say.
While rummaging through the bag Rin did realize he was running low on parchment, mainly due to the fact its very flammable and his companion has tendencies with fire.
However they were not too far from a town and with the "NOZ" it wouldn't take them long to get to a market but night was falling and a midnight snack after that ordeal sounded like the best plan.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

"Well met, comrades! I am one of the big wigs of this guild, the Liberation Group! My level is 78 and my name is Garnet! Glad to have all of you onboard, bastards!" Tyrael listened carefully to Garnet. He remembered back when he was in his 50's. he was actually somewhat important. Not a bigshot, really, but enough that most people were at least aware of who he was. Still, he didn't regret resetting his level. Since then, he'd been spending most of his time working on and making weapons and armor for the lower-level members. It had been hard work, and his level wasn't amazing, but if he spent a day or so grinding with Hjalmar, it'd be fine. He could make twenty or so levels in that time, or two if he was lazy.

Garnet continued as he unsheathed his sword. "Right now, we are headed to the bridge connecting here, Alkharn, Tokyo, and The Island of Departure! But don't fear, people! If you fear the enemy right in front of you, then you're just as good as dead! Don't you all want to get out of here?! But don't fear, people! If you fear the enemy right in front of you, then you're just as good as dead! Don't you all want to get out of here? Because I do! And I don't care, I repeat, I don't frigging care of what any of you has to say about it! I am getting out of this world filled with uncertainties and return to my normal, real life! And I will stomp anyone who stands on my way! Be it a boss, be it the Island Of Departure or be it those jackasses from New Terror!"

Tyrael hated the New Terror. Hated them. He wasn't some loser who had twenty characters in the game, used it as his only method of socializing with other human beings, and had literally nothing else of importance in his life. He had friends, college, and a girlfriend he wanted to get back to. A life of constant peril and bloody work might be exciting for some, but why the hell should he be forced to stay somewhere he didn't want to be?! He joined in with the cheer, his voice straining as he shouted. "TO HELL WITH THE NEW TERROR!!!!"

[DragonBeastMode]

"Well met, comrades! I am one of the big wigs of this guild, the Liberation Group! My level is 78 and my name is Garnet! Glad to have all of you onboard, bastards!" This guy sure knew how to talk to people. Benji or Mr. Chuckles would do anything to get back home. He couldn't believe there was really people going around trying to stop them from leaving. If they wanted to stay then come back after LG beats the damn place. Mr. Chuckles name in this situation was ironic, he wasn't up for a chuckle right now. He could go for slicing a New Terror's head off, that would be fun. "Right now, we are headed to the bridge connecting here, Alkharn, Tokyo, and The Island of Departure! But don't fear, people! If you fear the enemy right in front of you, then you're just as good as dead! Don't you all want to get out of here?! But don't fear, people! If you fear the enemy right in front of you, then you're just as good as dead! Don't you all want to get out of here? Because I do! And I don't care, I repeat, I don't frigging care of what any of you has to say about it! I am getting out of this world filled with uncertainties and return to my normal, real life! And I will stomp anyone who stands on my way! Be it a boss, be it the Island Of Departure or be it those jackasses from New Terror!" "TO HELL WITH NEW TERROR!" Everyone chanted. Not wanting to feel out of it, Mr. Chuckles joined in. "YEAH FUCK THOSE BASTARDS!" Mr. Chuckles picked up his jug of liquid and cheered. As long as he got out of here in one piece, Mr. Chuckles would be happy again.

Alkharn, Japan
The town of trade, home to the majestic World Tree, and place of masked strangers rushing from place to place. Sometimes the place stunk of beer, other times the sweet scent of a field of various flowers drifted into town. Maybe by luck would the monsters on Departure Island be smaller than the Massive Tree. Esdeath had no concerns of whether people wanted in or out of the game, she could care less honestly. Someone was going to get them out, eventually… right? Maybe someone along the lines could make her care as the range of her skills came with great advantages. Before anything could happen, she wanted to sight and breathe in the horrors of this island and….kill it but she did not yet want to choose which side to aid. As of right now she chose to travel with the Liberation group in the distance, at times traveling solo.

At the end of Garnet’s speech, she pushed the last grape into her mouth, her front teeth delaying a few seconds before deeming it to it’s certain death Beneath an oak tree. As the sugary substance coating her tongue, she smiled ferociously. Her idea was harmless in nature and required no commitment on her side.

After all the girl appeared harmless. Honey-blonde hair gently fell in waves to the middle of her back, complementing the girl’s blue eyes which feigned innocence. Being a innocent human simply wasn’t enough- they would always be required to join a guild when traveling with one, which is why she walked away from the shadows as a black cat with the same humanly eyes. It was as large as a great Dane. The fur was more rugged than normal adding to its size, giving the cat a more alarming appearance. Strangers were less likely to try and approach and coddle the cat, doubting that it was a cat and more of a panther. The game would say that she was nothing more than a cat. Yes, this would have to do.

Esdeath weaved between the crowds, keeping her eyes on the prize: Garnet. Not many threw a second glance to the cat. It was normal to see wandering , slightly harmless animals roaming buildings and the streets. However, someone who focused on the cat would notice it was slightly different from the others.

”Cat” form

”YEAH FUCK THOSE BASTARDS” One gentleman had shouted, gulping liquid. Foolish Esdeath thought, knowing that he was likely intoxicating himself, increasing his chance of being killed. The larger animal “bumped” into, if not knocking the man over she probably wasted most of his drink. You’re welcome.

She leaped onto the platform after he performed his speech on, others from the crowds shouted their overly prideful responses back. If cats could laugh, she probably would. Most of these people would shiver in their shoes and flee before they ever got to the island.

Esdeath asserted her presence, walking in tightly-knit circles around the Garnet’s feet. The cat purred, nudging his hand as if she were saying “Take me with you please.” Of course, transforming was only part of her plan. She wanted to have a little “fun” on the way.

[Card Captor]

Renbu had heard that the Liberation people were planing on tackling the boss of The Island of Departure, this was something he had to see. While he had no intention of returning that the prison of a body he used to have, he didn't have a problem with other people trying to leave. Still, he really wanted to see the boss. If this was still a game, and not a new reality, then the boss ahead could conceivably be thought of as the final boss (whether or not MMO's even had final bosses was another discussion). Right now, one of the leaders of the Liberation was giving some kind of speech or something, Renbu didn't really care. He was here to see the boss fight, not listen to some guy (Ruby was it?) give a speech.

Renbu had came prepared for the show, having made quite a few meaty dishes before hand, he was ready for diner (it was 6:00 somewhere) and a show. Right now though, he was struggling to pay attention. While he realized that this big speech that this Rubellite guy was giving was important to the people going into battle, if for nothing more then moral, it still didn't change the fact that it was extremely boring. So while Renbu was lying down a ways away from the group of people getting ready to fight, he sighed and said "come on...hurry up" to no one but that air

[LokiLeo789]

Add sighed as he looked at the virtual blue sky in which he had looked up at so many times before. Add was bored, as fun and adventurous as this would was, it could not satisfy Adds ever consuming desire to to control, to manipulate, it was like those word were engraved on his heart.

Add had heard of the 2 meetings for both the Liberation and The New Terror, but Add never really cared for them. The only reason he truly did join both groups was because, he knew that eventually a war would happen, Add smiled at the thought, putting the palm of his hand to his face. Add was playing both sides, and would continue to play good guy until one of the groups destroyed another, and Add would enjoy the spoils of war, without having to get his hands dirty at all. Add let out a loud harking laugh attracting the eyes of other players, this was one of the reasons he loved this world, manipulation was not frowned upon, even if it was found out.
Add stood up with renewed vigor, no longer bored and started walking toward the bridge in which the two biggest factions in this world would fight. That was a party Add just couldn't miss, and who knew maybe he would turn the tides of the battle just by being there.

[LupusIntus]

The before times...

The rain pounded against the windowpane in an unending torrent turning the world outside into a mash of fuzzy shapes and smudges. Victoria sighed again as if her expressed displeasure would have some sort of magical effect on the weather but, as expected, the typhoon continued to batter the Yokohama and she was stuck inside for the day. Pushing herself off the couch, her bare feet slapped against the hard wood floor as she plodded into the kitchen but even the contents of the well-stocked stainless steel fridge could not interest her. The door swung closed and her gaze fell onto the sticky note left by her mother, the bright yellow paper standing out against the metal.

Dinner is in the freezer.
Don't forget to preheat the oven. 400!
Watch your brother, please.
Be home tonight.

Love,
-Mom

Victoria's bright green eyes rolled after reading over the note again. She loved her mother but she'd been home from university for two days already and her family hadn't given her the time of day. Maybe she was expecting too much? Sometime's it's hard to remember that they all have their own lives even when she's away...

Passing back through the living room Victoria made her way into the small study that housed the family computer and was not surprised to find her brother illuminated by the screen's faint blue glow. He was fiddling with some new toy and didn't notice his sister's approach until she tapped him on the shoulder. "What do you have there?" She said, pointing to the strange device.

"Jesus, Vic!" He spun in his chair, slightly startled, a look of annoyance shooting across his scruffy teenage features. A small smile curled on her lips as she ruffled his hair, much to his displeasure, before she nodded at the strange helmet he held in his hands. With a huff, he returned to his examination of the device. "It's a new video game... Just came out. I'm trying to get it installed."

"Oh..." She muttered, quickly losing interest in the talk of virtual reality games; didn't they all have enough problems in the real world to deal with? An awkward moment of silence ensued as Victoria wracked her brain for some sort of connection, some common ground to meet her brother on but she was coming up short. Thankfully, a buzz from his cellphone sitting on the desk drew away his attention as he moved to answer a text. "Well... Would you like to go see a movie or something? I'm kind of dieing of boredom..."

Her eyes watched him as he typed excitedly, failing to respond until after a long moment. "What? Oh, ya... Sorry, but I was just gonna head out for a bit. Mimi sorta invited me over to watch a movie at her place..."

Her eyes narrowed and her lips drew into a thin line. "Ben..." She grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest in suspicion.

"Aw, c'mon! It's innocent, I swear!" The teenager shot back, sinking into his chair beneath his sister's unwavering gaze. "I'm 17... Not like I'm a little kid anymore."

"Well..." Victoria muttered after a moment of thought. "Tell your girlfriend I said 'Hi' and don't be out late or Mom will have a fit..."

"Ya, ya... I know how to handle mom." Ben replied, face breaking out into a mischievous smile. "Mind if I, eh... Borrow some money for the train? I sorta blew my allowance on this game..." With a pained sigh she rummaged around in her pocket and dropped several crumpled bills into his hand. "Thanks! I seriously owe you one!" Bolting past, he snatched a jacket and an umbrella and rushed out into the rain. She watched him walk down the narrow street towards the train station before his image disappeared into the haze.

"Damn..." She muttered, running her long fingers through her short red hair as she contemplated her confinement. Slumping into the comfortable computer chair, Victoria spent several minutes staring at the Google search window but couldn't find the mood to surf. With a break from school and basketball practice, she needed something to focus her energies on and watching hundreds of random cat videos hardly seemed fitting. Inevitably, her eyes fell back to the helmet and after a moment she gingerly picked it up. It was a strange device, very few buttons, a thin glass visor, and thickly padded on the inside. "Sensors...?" She thought aloud, running a finger along the inside of the rim. Glancing up at the computer screen she spotted a window with a flashing message.

Congratulations!
You have successfully installed "NTO", the newest generation in full-immersion 3D gaming!
Please put on the included headset to get started.

Victoria stared at that screen for a long moment, contemplating her next move. She'd hadn't played a video game in years, besides the occasional visit to the arcade, and was unsure of how to begin. Her mind screamed at her to find a more 'productive' use of her time but that thought was quickly interrupted by the pounding rain and the memory that all her books were back in her dorm room. "Not like I have much else to do..." Without a slight shrug, she slipped the device over her head and activated the launcher. Dozens of lights flickered on the visor as she reclined far back in the plush leather chair and a faint beam scanned over her features. In an instant everything went black and Victoria thought maybe she'd done something wrong, or the program had closed, when suddenly a single message appeared in the center of her vision.

Welcome to New Terra Online...

A great cheer burst from the ranks of assembled players as Garnet finished his speech and directed his challenge to the rival 'New Terror' party. Victoriana Rose simply sighed at the insults and jeers the gathered masses were spitting out, having little taste for aggressive 'politics' when they all had so many other problems to worry about. Trying to remain focused on the deadly problem that they would be facing that day, her steel-gloved hand pulled down the UI's inventory menu for the hundredth time and she did another quick eyeballing of her equipment's stats and durability. Her half-plate armor gleamed in the daylight, a dark crimson color with gold highlights that made elegant patterns along the edges of her shoulders, chest, and bracers. Her black silk cloak was draped across her shoulders and gave her a rather imposing image around her noble, stoic features. "Hey, Rose!" A sub officer of the Liberation Group approached her with a slight wave and a friendly smile; a rather scruffy man of clear Asian decent with unkempt black hair, dark woodland leather armor and a green wool cloak of his own. He had a massive wooden longbow slung over his shoulder. "It's almost strange seeing you alone out here."

"Well met, Yanosuke." Rose said, turning to face the man with a polite nod of her head. She had little to do with the LG, but had dealt with this particular individual on two other occasions when she'd been asked to join their hunting group. Or rather, when she and her usual partner had been hired to help them gather a few semi-rare mats from some particularly ornery Giant Hornets. Rose and Millicent were somewhat well-known in the smaller adventuring circles as their particular combination of skills made them a formidable and effective team. "Millicent should be around her somewhere, though I admit I haven't seen her since the LG meeting this morning."

"So you'll be tanking with SteelReign and Gerard. I take it they explained our strategy this morning?" The sub-officer pointed to two armored figures talking quietly a short ways away: one bald stony faced man with jagged full-plate and an imposing silver tower-shield and the other a kid who looked a bit younger than Rose with spikey blonde hair, sky-blue splint mail and a wooden round shield painted with the image of a matching blue eagle. Examining them for a moment, Rose then adjusted the large kite shield strapped to her own arm, eyes quickly glancing over the large golden rose printed on the black ebony surface; its sharp thorns glittering against the void. It had cost her a hefty sum to craft and then enchant with a few durability boosters but she was certain it was the best purchase she'd ever made. The shield had saved her from more than one potentially fatal encounter and would likely do so many more times in the future.

"I know Steel; he's a skilled warrior; we worked together during the Hive encounter last month," Her striking green eyes flickered back to Yanosuke as her free hand feel to her hip. "But I'm not so sure of this... 'Gerard'. His armor is lacking, to say the least, and his shield is incredibly weak. I'm not sure-"

She was cut off by a wave of Yanosuke's hand, the annoyed look crossing his features a clear indication he'd heard the complaint before. "Which is why you will be sharing center with Steel! Gerard was assigned the task of being our secondary and he still needs a bit of practice so he'll be watching at Steel's flank and learning the ropes, only jumping in if we need him." Rose's thin brow furrowed at the plan, not agreeing with using a dangerous and unknown boss fight to train a rookie in the techniques of tanking, but just as she was about to voice her concern someone called out Yanosuke's name. Another officer stood a ways away, an annoyed look on the man's face as he unprofessionally gestured for the sub-officers presence. "It'll be fine." The man said, ending their talk as he was already hustling towards his master like a dog looking for a treat. "Just follow the strategy and we'll have this thing dead by noon!"

Rose's expression hardened as she flipped a lock of short fiery red hair out her face, eyes watching the man go and get pulled into the LG officer's tent before muttering under her breath. "Yes, but at what cost..."

[The Red Seelie]

Alkharn Japan
The entrenched alleyway's Finally seemed to end as Charak drifted through the Streets his eyes Glossing over every detail like he had the last time he had come through here "best be prepared you are one of the only few who choose to be a assassin" Charak muttered to himself tiresomely. their was Rustling of Wings as a Flock of ravens took off From the parapet of a nearby Guild building. Charak's Paced Quickened as he walked the main street. he took off in another alleyway. Standing their was 2 players bartering over some ingredients and ores it was a common sight in the alleyway's. and in this Game.

Hearing some Speaking of the liberation group Charak Burst forth quietly from the alleyway Taking in the ensemble Crowd. Their were many people here some of which seemed Exceptionally Suspicious but one girl stood out in particular Standing in the shadows of a Old Ageing oak tree. she seemed Harmless enough on first appearance. but Charak Being a Assassin and all Knew full goddamn well looks can be deceiving. Suddenly he was Yanked out of the alleyway by a Fist. Although no violence can be made in a safe zone you can still hold people still. "Well if it Isn't Charak a Assassin Class..." a croaky voice said. then a Load voice boomed in Charak's ears "Well you little piece of **** What are you here for Did those New terror guys Set you up DID THEY DID THEY ANSWER ME!" The man roared Charak stayed silent none of their threats would work in a safe zone. The Muscle bound man Dropped Charak. "next time we meet you and i are going to have a little Talking to" the man moved away. He was a level 56. Charak's eyes quickly darted back to the oak tree But the girl was gone. and now their was a large Cat moving through the crowds. the game read it as a cat. And sure Strays were common. sights in the game. But their was something different about this cat maybe it was the way it moved so purposefully towards Garnet and even knocking a drink out of a drunk guys hand. made Charak suspicious.

Charak began pushing his way through the Insultingly large Crowd many people looked at him with disgust or anger due to the path he took... it made Charak a little depressed Because he had only recently Chosen. but neither the less he continued through the crowd. Many would see this as a Raise to the challenge of authority But Charak was just exceptionally curious about that Cat. Charak Finally broke the ranks of the crowds as all eyes broke on him quiet whispering began in the crowds along with jeering and such Most of which had become directed at him. Charak Tried to ignore the whispering "Oh do you think hes going to track someone or kill them..." It was like a unbearable burden. but someone had to do it. Climbing on the Stand that was the stage. Charak Looked at Garnet while looking down at the cat. He hadn't thought this far and the crowd made it hard to think anyway.

James smiled and opened his communications list pulling up the guild list he tapped on one of the other members, Calling her. “Coco, We’re down on Cuba, by From the Deep. I’m debating going to see what all the messages flying round global are about. Through doing one of the instances also sounds fun. Do you want to come along?” He asked as he stood up and picked up his staff, Standing he cut an imposing figure, his long cloak covering his entire figure. Most would assume he was simply a mage, Most, would end up dead. Static crackled over his staff as he stretched, One of the more unusual downsides of playing a Elementals was the random discharges of energy. “I say we walk to down, The Nosferatu isn’t miles away and it might be a interesting experience. Also you need some combat practice, I can’t have you running round as my co-leader at a low level.” James grinned and bumped his friend on the shoulder “stop looking so worried! You look as if you just saw a Raid boss!”

[Rinion]

Rin listened to his boss talking to another player... its probably one of the other guildies he thought to himself as he finished the last bite of "James-fried chicken" then his thoughts drifted into thoughts of opening a small deli somewhere and becoming a chef... then he quickly remembered he he didn't know how to bake... actually her realized at that moment he didn't want to, all the flour would mess with his graph inks anyway he told himself.
Tuning back into what James was saying he agreed he could do with some exp anyway.
"so who we meeting and in what direction are we going?" rin asked as he stood up next to James. After a few seconds Rin took a step away so that he didn't have too look up as much, James being taller than Rin was known but Rin was sure he was taller than most people, the static from James staff made made Rin smile, it was a comfort these days,
Then Rin grabbed his satchel and brushed the dust from his cloak.

Still aboard the ship in one of the cabins, namely, her cabin. Cocoa was playing around with a few of her stuffed dolls. She made them recently to comemerate her new found friendship upon entering a guild.
She mocked them in a battle. "Don't worry Rin-Rin!" She said in a rough voice as she moved the doll around in front of another. "I'll beat this boss! Rawr!" It was at that moment she recieved an incoming message from her guild leader, James.

'Coco, We’re down on Cuba, by From the Deep. I’m debating going to see what all the messages flying round global are about. Through doing one of the instances also sounds fun. Do you want to come along?'

Cocoa smiled as she put her hand on her soft left cheek. She replied to him. "Yeppy! I'll be there in a jiffy! I just gotta grab my weapon, I hope this'll be fuuuun~!"
Cocoa spent about a minute deciding which doll to take, the one of James, or the Co-Leader Rin. Ultimately, she took her favourite, her default Neptunia Doll. She then headed out to meet her friends.

Once she arrived, she happily waved and greeted her friends. "Heeey guys! I hope you're all prepared!" She then unwittingly set off her 'Cocoa Cheer!' Skill.
"You can do it you can do it! Go go go! Fight fight fight!" She cheered, punching her fists into the air.
She scratched her head and smiled, ahaha... Oppsie~"

[eddieddi]

James rolled his eyes and smiled “That’s who we’re meeting” He said and started to wonder towards the forest, “Its shouldn’t be to bad round here, as far as I’m aware, and anyway if it is that bad I can always step in.” he said and smiled “just remember guys, don’t pull more than you have to, The aggro ranges got changed in the last patch again, and we don’t want to have to find out how they changed.” He looked at Cocoa and laughed “c’mon you little ball of crazy. Lets go have some fun” he teased and gently tapped her on the back with his staff encouraging her to walk ahead. “You two go first, that way I won’t get aggro’d so fast, and can keep my eyes open for anything untoward.” He said and muttered a few words under his breath a orb of fire erupted in to life on the end of his staff, providing light around them, as it was night, and as they walked away from the dungeon the sickly green light it gave off faded. “So, as far as I can tell NT and LG are going at it again. I really wish they’d just get over it.” He said with a shake of the head and then smiled. “so what have you been up to Coco?”

[Rinion]

Rin smiled when Cocoa appeared.. she always made him laugh even when he didnt want to, she was soo darn cute. "H-hey CO" rin said as he turned towards the forest.
"James i like my books and charts and iv got loads of unfinished work on the NOZ??" rin said with an uncertain look on his face, once again he was pretty sure what James response was going to be...Even tho Rins words were putting up a fight he was already unpacking his summoners book and was skimming through its pages.
(Enough time on our crazy ship will do that to ya).. "so ladies first or..?" rin said as he looked to james to instruct him who was going first.

[Pudding]

While trudging through the forest with her guildmates, she felt reassured by James' confidence. His encouragement was always a pleasant thing to be around.
"Well, I was playing around in my room today, but before that... I tried contacting some friends who joined the Liberation group" her voice got a little shaky, but she retained her usual smile.
"I'm scared that they... Were defeated in battle... I heard some of them left for the Isle Of Departure..." Cocoa looked down at her slippers as she walked. The fireball James cast lit their way, casting her shadow far infront.
"But its okeydoke! Because I have you guys now!" She quickly retained her happy demeanour, before asking a question herself.

"So, what're we looking for? Anything in particular? Or is just some training?"

[eddieddi]

James gave Rin a look “And what happens when you need to survive in a raid boss encounter long enough to draw up a map,” He pointed out and sighed, “Anyway, its not like you don’t spend enough time already in the base.” He sighed and looked at Coco “Just some experience in both solo combat and avoiding hitting your team mates. Anyway Coco, When you die, You normally wake up somewhere else in the world with part of your memory gone, and all your stuff reset. They could have just forgotten you.” He said as they entered a clearing. The clearing itself looked rather harmless, though the numerous Red glowing eyes that glared at them from the shadows. “Rin-Rin, Identify please?” he asked turning to face the way they came. “Vision, Game, Combat.” James muttered, pulling up his combat Hud with His Health, Mana, Cool downs, and any data on the foe he had.

[Rinion]

Rin looked straight away towards the direction of the targets.. "y-yes boss, ok we got atleast 4 Toad Vanguards... weakness includes fire dmg.. there mid leveled" and as Rin realed off the information from his book his hand and eyes started to glow, then he called, "spirit summon IMP!!" and as he did a small imp creature appeared from a runic circle on the floor. Rin was in battle mode, even tho he didn't like to fight it didn't mean he didn't know how, " can i boss?" rin asked ash he drew his hand crossbow from his bag and loaded it.
Rin was looking more confident it was almost as if him using mana was like some sort of a fix, he was wearing almost a cheeky grin as he rolled his shoulders or wings you never can tell.

"..." "They forgot me..." She said quietly as the group stopped upon entering a clearing. She could feel the enimes eyes digging deep into her body.
Cocoa watched as her friends entered combat positions, Rin checked out the information of the enemies, whilst James looked at his statistics. It was obviously rins kill and she didn't want to interupt, but she couldn't help feel the passion of battle.
"For now! I'll sit on the side lines, but I'm sure you can woop them good Rin-Rin!" Cocoa began to cheer for him, boosting his defence. It was the skill she accidently used a little while before, it funished recharging a little while ago.
"Give 'Em Heck! Hit 'Em Hard! Knock 'Em Back a Few Yards!"

[eddieddi]

“Feel free, The both of you. There’s several, And I feel there are probably more coming.” James said closing his eyes for a moment, “we’re going to have to go through them to get to town.” He said smiling and setting his staff on his back, the fireball still glowing and providing light. Freeing up his hands for casting. “Just remember, try not to hit one another. I’ve only got so many potions on me.” He looked round debating something under his breath. Eventually he began to mutter, the air starting to stir around him, almost as if he was calling upon the world itself. The clearing began to smell of smoke and ash, the sound of flames started small but grew louder and lounder , the smell changed from smoke and ash to brimstone and sulphur, the roaring of the fire seemed to become condensed on one point. Standing beside James was a lesser incarnation of fire, “Just training today, we’re back up I’m afraid” He said, glancing towards the creature. It grumbled the affirmative and stood ready to attack on command.
