ALFheim Online: Stuck in Limbo

Hello there! Remember me? I'm still stalking this! I have a character in mind if you want, sort of a healer this time. Except there a few secret things I will have to run by you because it's a bit... Well, secret. How about it?

@RoflsMazoy

Sounds good to me. Go ahead and PM me the things you want to run by me.

ALFheim Online: Stuck in Limbo

That's a great question actually. Sorry for being so inactive lately. But, Lennon messaged me the other day, so Lennon is...out now. Hopefully things can change. In the meantime I'm opening this up to one other player out there, since we are still early on.

and they were hurricanes ;; dontcallmezelda && eltacotaco

Gaige kept her head down somewhat as she focused on the small robot that was speaking rather fast to her. He was spouting something about Echos..and things that she knew about but listening to him say it made her feel like she was losing some brain cells. She didn't know what it was...it was just hard to focus. Maybe the robot's voice? Wait a second...what was this robot doing out here anyways? And this..woman too. The woman then spoke to Gaige, asking her if she was on the train when the explosion happened. Gaige tilted her head up and wound her mechanical arm a bit as to try to get it back to its right alignment. "...No..no I wasn't.." She said through her teeth chattering and her body shivering. Her choice of attire didn't exactly match the current climate so she was having a rather hard time adjusting to it. This woman wasn't wearing clothes to acclimate to the weather either so she didn't feel that stupid. "I was..I was on a a shuttle that had an idiot of a pilot and when..the train? Exploded our shuttle was sent off its trajectory and crashed near the train." Gaige then brought her hands up and started to rub her shoulders to try and generate some heat to course through her body. "Stupid...stupid.." She muttered to herself. She cast a quick glance down to the little yellow robot that was handing her something. She grabbed it and recognized the item as a echo device. Oh, she was familiar with Echos. She made the necessary adjustments and saw a few things pop up for her. She felt a small surge of heat go through her body and it actually..made her smile a bit. But she still wanted more warmth. Gaige then looked over to the woman and still held her shoulders. "What about you? Were you on the train? Also.." Her awkwardness was about to show as she pointed to her sleeveless arm that was covered in tattoos. "Those tattoos are very..very pretty."

@DontCallMeZelda I'm reading Arina's response to Athena and I think I'm having a reading comprehension fail. Is Arina saying she's unable to do the weapon upgrade? O_o

@Stella

I was going for a "baffled but I'll give it my best try" response.. :P

ALFheim Online: Stuck in Limbo

There was a loud clang as Arina brought her hammer down on the base weapon in front of her and watched it take the shape of the boring weapon a player in her territory asked her to make. Once it was done she placed her hammer to the side and picked up the sword carefully and gave it a good look over. She cast her eyes down to the work order and then back to the weapon. It seemed to match the customer's specs, so she considered it done. With that she carefully placed the weapon to the side and let out a soft sigh. As if that was timed perfectly she heard the bell at her door ring to tell her that someone had entered her shop. She grabbed a rag from the table next to her and started to wipe her hands down as she came up the stairs and made her way to the front of her shop. She hadn't checked her messages yet so she didn't see any replies or anything. But she recognized the person who was in her shop now. It was Kite. The spriggan from the dungeon the other day. That was a quick response..if he was responding to what she sent to all of them. Arina opened up her mouth to say something but he beat her to speaking and immediately asked about making a couple of daggers and tips on ranged combat. Arina gave him a puzzled look and her ears gave a few twitches as she processed his question. After a few seconds she shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest and decicded to do just what she needed since he was asking for a work order. "Couple of daggers hmm? Well, what kind are you looking for? Daggers are short, so medium short or like..a shiv short? Also, any specific kind of design or effect? I can only give basic enchantments at the moment. Once I get better equipment I can produce high level enchantments. But *ahem* that's.. really..Tips on long range combat? You don't use bows do you?" She cocked her head to the side a bit in question. She didn't know how to really answer this because of the skill system in this game. She knew the skill determined your overall power and proficiency with a weapon type but... "Well, I guess the first tip would be to just stay calm and hold your aim. Know your weapon and its dimensions so you know how far your projectile can and will fly. Also the-.." The ding at the door sounded again and it broke Arina's concentration. Another familiar face had entered her shop! It was Athena. She greeted her and Arina gave a small head nod to accept her greeting. Again she opened her mouth to say her own greeting but Athena beat her to speaking as well. She asked about taking her up on her blacksmithing. If she was up for it. "Hmmph!" She said as she kept her arms crossed and puffed her chest up a bit. "I'm ashamed that you would think I'm not up for it! Ehehe...um..I mean...yes. I'm up for it.." With that awkwardly said she waited to see her weapon. Athena pulled the weapon out and then it seemed to just...disappear. Athena was definetly holding something...but..it was just so strange. Arina blinked a few times and stretched out a hand to try and touch the hilt of the blade that Athena's hand was wrapped around. She surely felt it and once she did she let out a soft gasp and drew her hand back. "You're joking.. Arina dropped her hands and stared at the non existent weapon in the air. "That's...like nothing I've ever seen..in this game. But, I'm sure I can do something with it. While I'm working I won't be..actually touching it if it's with a weapon like this I won't be taking the hammer to it. Where did you get this thing?" With that she gave a puzzled look to Athena and then heard a small ping from her menu that broke her concentration yet again. She swiped her menu down and saw that T1m had replied to her group message. He said he was down but in the meantime he was practicing..backflips? That seemed odd but she didn't question it. She then brought up her keyboard and typed, "Alright, well a few of us are here at my shop in Cait Sith Territory. If you want to stop by then feel free to do so. <point of interest>" The PoI was the location of her shop. After that she swiped her menu away and looked to both of them. "Sorry about that...I had a message. But, um, this actually works out. Two orders at once." She gave a small smile to them. "I'm happy you both took me up on my offer. Just let me know what you would like done, both of you. And now, besides that, what have you two been up to?" She leaned on of her many tables in her shop and let her body rest as she waited for their responses and requests.

ALFheim Online: Stuck in Limbo

Sorry for being rather inactive lately. If it shows that I'm online that's only because I'm still signed in on mobile. I'm actually just now getting back on lol :P

Hey, I'm just stalking you all but I'd like to point out something If you're having trouble with swinging the invisible sword, you should probably remember that the motions of your sword skills are guided by the system so you don't really have to swing it yourself Sword skills weren't in the original Alfheim but they were re-added in the new Alfheim online

@RoflsMazoy

This is completely random and..I. Okay. Thanks..? I guess. Stella handeled it. 10/10 would let Stella handle again. Normally I'd say I'm going to wait for Lennon but I might just go ahead and post since we are just kind of doing stuff now. Lennon feel free to post whenever :D haha

That post felt like it took forever to..post. But it's there. :D

ALFheim Online: Stuck in Limbo

Arina listened in silence with a smile on her face as her friends list slowly filled up with five new members. Many of them had already taken off and this made the archer really wonder if she had actually heard her request if they needed weapon reinforcing. Then again...she didn't blame them for taking off, she was ready to be out of her as well. A few stayed behind now but then they too started to fall out. Fuyuko was among the last and she said that if they needed a meeting space they could meet at her player home. This got Arina thinking that she should invest in a player home... But her shop took the majority of her money. With a nod to herself she watched as the last of the group vanished and left her alone. It was time to take her leave she guessed. That last bit Fuyuko spoke, being online about 1900 JST. Arina paid it no mind, at this point. She archer brought up her menu and tapped on a teleport crystal and it manifest in her hand. She activated it and after a few seconds she was taken away by the magic of the crystal and when she opened her eyes she was standing in front of her shop in Cait Sith territory. Her shop was a cozy little two story shop with matching stone and wooden walls. It even had a water feature in front of it! She had to pay extra for that part but...eh, she liked it. She brought up her menu again and tapped on the key to her shop and used it to open the door. Once inside she locked it from behind and put her weapons down on the ground next to a small counter. She had several tables lined up with a two staircases near the back, one leading up and the other leading down. The one leading up was to a room she had yet to fully finish due to monetary issues. She planned for that to be her weapon enchanting room, but not only was her skill far too low for that she lacked the funds for proper equipment. It was rather expensive. And the one leading down led to her forge, which she liked to think was in top shape. It was her pride. She had weapons lined up along the walls and weapons on the tables around the shop. But that was enough reminiscing about her shop. She brought up her menu once more and found the materials she had been given from that dungeon and moved them over to deposit them in the appropriate chest in her shop. Once that was done she sat down and swiped her menu up again and tapped on the Log Out button and logged out. After a groggy yawn and slow stretch Rhett took his Amusphere off of his head and sat it down on the small counter next to his bed. He sat up and stretched yet again before making his way out of his bedroom and into his kitchen/dining room. Rhett lived in the states in a small apartment of his own. He was fine with the small living space though. To some it might be a little unappealing but...he liked it. Not to mention that the place he stayed allowed- "Arf! Rhett looked down to his feet to see the smiling and happy face of his dog Parker, who was ever so ecstatic to see that he was awake from his sleep. Rhett knelt down and gave his dog a hug and a few pats before realizing what his dog was ultimately after. Now that Rhett was awake, it was time for food. The young man made his way over to the cabinet where he kept his dog food and started to open it before he realized his oven was on. He gave it a puzzled look and then remembered that he had been cooking a meal before he started playing ALFheim. He cursed under his breath as he ran over and managed to pull his almost roasted chicken out just in time. Luckily..he caught it before it got just too burnt. It was still edible enough to be good. He mentally patted himself on the back and then looked down the small patting feeling that was pawing at his leg. Parker was smelling the chicken. Rhett smirked and shook his head. "You're ruining my life." He joked to his dog with a smile before picking the chicken up with a fork and cutting it up a bit and placing it on a plate and scooting it on the floor for Parker to enjoy. Rhett...actually didn't want that chicken. Sure he did when he was first making it earlier but now he really wanted a sandwich or something. So as Parker nosily chowed down on the chicken Rhett made a simple PB&J and added a few chips. He then made his way over to his couch and turned on his TV and started to eat his food and zone out to the TV. As he did this he started to think about those he met in that dungeon. The group he was with...he liked them. Even though one of them died in the beginning he had a feeling..that he meant to do that. Then..there was..Fuyuko, that was her in game name. Possibly the smallest tank he had ever seen. That player went against every tank stereotype he could think off from his past MMOs. Then there was that salamander that seemed to really know what she was doing. She was using magic and almost seemed like a berserker...rare build he had to say. But that was just his opinion. Then they had T1m who called himself "Alex" alot and he..well he used a boss weapon against the boss. Innovative.. Then there was Shishirou, the one who made references to other games. Rhett let out a few chuckles as he thought about that arrow to the knee thing that player said when they were fighting that mass of corpses. Before Rhett knew it he tried to reach his hand down to grab a chip or two only to realize that he was out. He was full now so he didn't feel like getting anymore. He really must have zoned out there.. With a small grunt he got up off the couch and made his way into the kitchen to put his plate in the sink. Parker was almost done with his gourmet meal and he looked to Rhett for a split second with a face of pure bliss. Then came a ringing from Rhett's pocket that made him jump. His phone was blaring as someone was calling him. He brought it up and answered it with a obnoxious, "Hello." As he recognized the caller. It was his friend from college, Laren. "Rhett, are you student teaching any this week?" She asked out of the blue. Rhett crossed one arm over his chest and held another up to his ear to hold his phone there. "Um..not anymore this week. I've already student taught about 27 hours so that's good enough for me. I plan to pick up more on monday. History isn't exactly the most interesting thing to high school seniors you know?" He let a few chuckles escape. The girl on the end of the call sighed. "Well I was just wondering. I still have to get a few hours in but I'll be fine. Well, I was just calling to make sure you weren't slacking. What with that game that you play all the time and all." The girl scoffed in humor at the end there. Rhett did the same. "Sure I play it quite a bit but my real life things come first. I'm not going to let the game consume me." Laren let out a sigh on the other end. "Yeah, whatever. We'll see." Rhett could tell she wasn't being that mean. With a brief moment of silence the girl shifted around and picked the phone back up. "Well, I'll let you go. I've got some work to do anyways. Tell Parker I said 'Hi!', I'm sure he misses me." With that she hung up and Rhett slipped his phone down. Parker had finished his meal by this point and let out a yawn which in turn caused Rhett to yawn. "You tired?" He said, as if his dog could respond. His body language gave it away. Rhett was tired too, so that meant his bed was calling him. After a quick trip to the bathroom to brush his teeth and all that good stuff Rhett returned to his bed and once he was settled in Parker jumped on his bed and curled up into a small ball at the end of his bed. With that done the two both slipped off into sleep and let themselves go. ---------------- After what felt like an extremely long day Rhett was finally able to return home and do everything he needed to before he could slip into the virtual world. He sat on his bed and slipped his Amusphere on and then laid his body down. He switched it on and then felt his body slip off into the virtual world. After a few seconds Rhett opened up his eyes and looked down to see...significant changes in his body structure. He was now Arina. Arina got up from the chair she was sitting on and brought her key out and unlocked her shop door and flipped over the open sign. There was a small slip of paper under her door that would be her work orders. Simple things from NPC merchants and other players alike. She examined the order and shook her head at how simple some players made their orders. She wanted complex orders that challenged her. But, money was money. So the archer took off a few of her combat armor pieces and made her way down to her forge with the order in hand. As she did this she brought up her menu and tapped on some of the resources she would need. One was running rather low.. Once she had all of them she was about to close the menu when she saw the friends tab. She tapped on it and saw the list of five players she added the other day. What did Fuyuko say..if they wanted to meet up they could come to her player home? At..1900..JST? Wait..Japanese standard time? She assuemed that's what it meant. Well, she didn't check to see if they were online or not, instead she tapped on the send message button and added all of them as recipients of her message. She simply typed up, "Hey, what's up? Want to meet up again?" and then hit send. The message would reach of them individually but they could also toggle to see that she had sent it to all of them as a group. With that sent, she actually had no idea if any of them were online as she didn't really look but she assumed the message would reach them once they got on. Maybe they would think she was a stalker for that..or some kind of creep.. She quickly let that thought go as she brought her hammer down and caused sparks from the molten weapon part to fly up. She loved doing this. Not as much as fighting though, but she was happy to be a skiller.

and they were hurricanes ;; dontcallmezelda && eltacotaco
