UC: Rise of the forgotten

Having pushed her suit to the limit with powering the comms antenna, it took a while to make it to the hangar on Valretha's MS's RCS system. She watched the Gouf run off for some reason. she had no comms indicating what the pilot was doing, but moving the suit out of the common area to atleast have some location to retreive it from, god forbid something catastrophic happening to the current local; wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

Assuming that was the case, the zuda moved forwards and into the hangar. As it entered the space, the newtypes, even those new to the feelings, could feel the presence of the pilot filling the room. It wasn't intrusive, just signifying of rather broad reaching pilot sitting in the cockpit of the MS. It maneuvered into the middle of the hangar, disruspting most of the easy ways out of the hangar for the gathered MS's. The massive Thruster on its back was definitely still glowing red from the heat of its recent use and pushing. The chest sliding and the cockpit opening on the machine, the pilot got out of it helmetless.

Purple hair up in a ponytail, she stood looking out at the gathered members. The variety of Feddy suits on one side while her own, the gouf having just left and the remaining act Zaku in the hangar around them. "I'm the one that was on the comms through the minovsky particles." she explained, the girl looking barely sixteen. Her voice was filled with glimmers of hope, a desire to see some positivity come out of this. Her holster was empty, gun left behind in the cockpit. "My name is Valretha. I won't assume to know the reason you all managed to agree to a ceasefire with eachother despite yourselves and your positions in our respective groups." said the girl, swallowing hard. "We're all soldiers here in one manner or another. No matter how old we are, spacenoid or earthenoid, oldtype or newtype, Zeon or Federation, we're all still human." the female said now, a bit of confidence returning to the girl once she felt she broke the ice.

Heading back inside, she came back out with a pack full of rations. "I know some of you want to get back to your factions, bosses, superiors, but we're all sitting in this same hangar and not shooting each other anything more than glares and i consider that good as i'd like that to be the most of any of our worries between one another." Valretha said with a nervous chuckle now, hoping the bit of light comedy might ease things a bit. "I know words are hard to move people with and i'm not the greatest public speaker, but i think we have a chance here for something new and different. The earth has had a long and hard history. People fighting wars between towns, countries alliances and continents, but i think what we have a chance at is something special. I'm digging into really old earth history here, but back in the first great war, before this monstrosity of a space war evolved, people were fighting one another but even more fierce. Gas attacks were the norm, mutilations from chemicals, dieing of horrible medical care, all things that we take for granted, a lot of us don't have to deal with, they dealt with. even more fierce fighting that what we have now. And the second world war held even worse atrocities but for now i'm just focusing on the good thing in that first world war. Christmas day. It was a Christmas day and the troops managed to negotiate a ceasefire. Less dire circumstances than we have here, since our lives are currently are in danger even as we speak; considering the limited supplies we all have, they negotiated a truce over the fact it was Christmas and the soldiers found that they were human. They found out that they shared common likes and laughed with the people they had spent weeks shooting at and shelling even played sports with them that day." The girl explained and then took a deep breath and sighed, trying to figure our how to go about this and not get everyone killed or up in arms at one another, to try and bring some sort of stable peace between people. She'd be silent for maybe a minute before the girl spoke up once more, looking around the room.

"Dirty Feddies, Bastard Zeon, all these harsh terms to try and dehumanize the people we're fighting so it makes them easier to kill. Why don't we seek to try and use this time to understand one another even just a little instead of following some orders to shoot someone else because someone up above said "fire at them". We already all have military service in common, we're all brothers in arms, maybe not squadmates, but we're all veterans together." Said the female, moving down onto the ground, moving down the leg of the zudah and activating the soft magnets in her boots to allow her to move on the surface. "So i come in hopes of getting us to atleast have an idea that we're human. Sorting out political issues on who believes what is right and wrong is far beyond what we're capable of doing, so let's leave those behind. We are all people. we all have interests, so let's share them. I never said that talking to someone you've considered your enemy for a long time is an easy task, but it's worth a shot if it means we're not shooting at eachother. Leaving the past behind is a hard pill to swallow, so why don't we just all share our names and an interest or two?" Said Valretha looking around between those she saw around her and the hangar in general. "If keeping a gun on you makes you feel more comfortable, then i won't blame you, it's understandable after all the shit we've all been through. As to my suggestion, i'll even lead off." Said the girl, sitting against the foot of the Zudah now, putting the pack next to her and hooking it under the lip of the zuda's foot to keep it form wandering off. "My name is Valretha, I like listening rock and metal music as well as drawing if i had the time off duty." she said, now looking to the rest and hoping to get a conversation started.

The mage saw the opening in the group that had been caused by the orcs going after their 'tank' on the account of doing damage to the catapult. She dashed forwards and began attacking the ones who had aggroed onto the others of the group. Using the farron flash sword on her staff and on her off hand, thanks to the gloves she wore, the female chipped away at the orcs, spreading the damage between lot of the enemies in order to avoid taking agro, also making sure to not throw aggro to herself by overdoing damage.

The kiting had been continuous and effective. the more nimble mage was dancing around the orcs with little issue. A few close calls here and there, but nothing outside the realm of dodgability. Most of the Orcs were down to a sixth of their health. Smiling, the mage launched themselves into the air over the group. "Mana Pulse!" the called out and swung their staff. The normally player originating AOE attack was launched as a disc that landed in the center of the group, the aoe killing most of them and the burn damage finishing off the rest of the attackers. Dashing away from the enemies, the mage rushed towards her group and to see if she could help them out.

Titania kept kiting the ogres around a small area. Round and round as she finally had an astral cannon ready. Running them all into a line, the female then cast it. "ASTRAL CANNON!" she cried out and it periced them all, Bringing one leading down to very low health and the rest to about half health now, inflicting a burn status on the rest of the Ogres, but mana burn so it couldn't easily be resolved. A few more flash swords and the lead ogre went down, one of the sentries from the perimeter. So thus would the female return to kiting and chipping away at the rest of their health as she ran, mana seeming to recharge pretty quickly.

"Everyone gets hurt and everyone has people that break their trust, so how about you stop acting like a special snowflake and get the bug out of your ass." Titania responded to Chizaru before growling a bit. "Some people are just not friendly..." the 'girl' said before charging off after them. Seeing the two charging Ogres, she cast fleetfoot on herself, charging and jumping over the samurai girl and our guardian.

Standing before them, the mage prepared a cast. "Tempest of flash sword!" she cried out and engulfed one of the charging ogres in a storm of flash swords, causing it to stop and start attacking at the air whever it was hit most recently; dropping its hp at a rather slow but steady rate. Charging forwards, the mage met the other ogre as it swang its axe with an off hand spell, holding up infront of herself, the axe rebounded off of the shield and with the staff, she pointed it at the ogres face. "Mage light!" she called out, placing the ghostly and rather bright light upon the ogres face, blinding it. "Take care of these. i'm pulling aggro on as much of the camp as i can and leading them away. I can sustain myself against them. You guys take on whatever is left in camp, if i need help, you'll see it. but try to stop that fucking catapult as quickly as possible." She said and dashed off, leaving one blinded ogre and one stuck in a damaging whirlwind.

Titania moved quickly and made sure to hit the two corner guards she could see with several mana bolts to draw their attention. The girl did the same with the four forwards guards. Once they all began to charge, she slammed her staff into the ground and used Mana wave, making sure to aggro the shit out of them all before dashing off towards the other side of camp with them in tow, firing mana bolts and mana balls to make sure that they stayed aggro and the six ogres followed her out to the boundries of camp. Using fleetfoot, the mage danced around the ogres and caused more frustration and rage as she chipped their health down, occasionally hitting chunks out of the health of them with soul greatsword.

Titania rolled her eyes as her staff came up, the boulder slamming into a shield which stopped it. "Right, One of you didn't get the question. I was talking personal baggage if it isn't clear from the cleric and samurai." She said as the robe disappeared. (see appearance photo for clothing) They were certainly ambiguous gender wise. However, the stat card displayed lvl 90 sorcerer, lvl 90 magic craftsman, female. "Before i came here i was a male. At this point, i honestly don't care what or who i showed up as. i'm happy to exist here in this world in this body. i'm happy to be so free and have so much movement. As to who i was before this whole thing happened, Tirpitz is a name some of you may recognize, i changed it because as a personal name Tirpitz is a bit.. eh. username was fine, but if this is what people shall know me as, i'd prefer something with an actual name." She said. The female stood pretty proud of her accomplishments, but it wasn't a sense of arrogance, it was an air that said she had paid her dues as almost if she was retired.

"MY name isn't big in raiding circles outside of being legendary history. Only person to ever solo a raid, Ascendant Mage of the Astral Clock tower. As to why i said that we should all come clean about ourselves is trust. Trust is something i refuse to work without when it comes to raids of anylevel. If i can't stare at someone and have faith they'll do their job, i can't focus completely on doing my job. Sharing whatever you have got in your closet of skeletons shows that you're willing to trust the rest of the group with those secrets." Titania said, her staff having changed to the phantasmal one, tomoe and the apparitions around her back showing up. "Look, i beat cancer, i'm not about to look over my shoulder and worry about the healer doing their job, or either of you two up front doing yours and then lose focus and miss something. I'm not dieing in this virtual game to some pathetic ogres after beating something usually unwinnable in real life. Besides, you never get off scott free when dieing in a game, i'm not about to risk any of myself right now." She said and stomped her staff on the ground, issuing a final ultimatum.

"So we have two paths, we do this as a team, as a group that we can trust in, or we aren't doing this as a team at all. I won't lie, with my build i could solo this, but i want a group of people i can look towards and trust in this now familiar, but at the same time, completely and undeniably unknown world. I'm sure the rest of you would be comforted by such a thing. So make the wise decision here." Titania explained, letting them take the floor now.

"sounds like a solid plan. I'll be off tank with playboy over here if we need to take out the adds, otherwise, i'll be dps and emergency tank." She said walking along. These were strange words coming from a magician. However, when they noticed a mere 2000 hp "hiding" behind a whopping 45k in mp. she was easily four people's worth of mana running around.

However, walking to the front of the group, stopping the group in the middle of the path. "does any have any skeletons they want to air? secrets they hold of who or what they are or were? or what they did? if we want to work together, hold nothing back." she said staring at them. "I'll go last, so i'll insist the one actual female of the group go first. Kagame, take the lead." The mage said, gesturing to the cleric. "Hold nothing back you lot. i want to know i can trust you and i know you want to know you can trust me. So before running into a high level quest, let's make sure that is settle." She explained stepping back to let them form a circle of sorts around one focal point.

"Wow, that cleric has some minor mental issues... not gunna stick... well... not even sure how lesbians work to be truthful as i never gave it too much thought... Oh well. Not going to stick my dick in that anytime soon." said the mage from behind her mask. the voice was certainly debatable to male or female, but the stat sheet identified the person as a female.

"I think any of us could have dealt with all those people easily, but It's been a while since i got angry so i figured i might as well vent the very few frustrations i have." Titania added to the group somewhat discussion going on. "Anyways, i think this would be majorly beneficial. Call me Titania by the way." she added as the lot of them all received invites to join 'her' party now. "having the benefits of a party would make things much much easier."

Log Horizon: Elder Tale "The Kyoto Expanse"

Titania ran out upon hearing the noise, following the kitsune to the fight. Hearing the noise, she had seriously hoped it wasn't PK'ers. There was so much more that people could be doing. Actually trying to benefit other people or helping rebuild or figure out what was going on. However, her heart sank and the happiness ha disappeared. She knew that the target of the pk would be fine, but with the damage done to the two would be pk'ers, they'd be running off soon. now with their leader dead.

Standing infront of them, Titania now blocked off their only escape route. A series of events then occured, one which would probably be forever burned into the minds of those poor Pk'ers. They saw their last chance to escape alive before them, two high level players, well, relatively high to the little 31 before them. The first thing those with a keen eye would notice was a minor changing of the garb on the player. Mask was still there and so was the large robes draped over the player, but the gloves had changed as well as the foot wear as well as the way the robes draped over the under clothing.

The second thing was the level cap being released, however, this happened as both of them charged the sorcerer so they failed to take note, their panic and the charge leading them to miss the change. The two of them unleashed both of their most powerful attacks, one a fury of blows and the other a single decisive hit. Standing behind her, they both smiled, figuing they could get out of this scott free. that was when the sorcerer began to laugh. "Those were attacks?" she asked, turning to stare at them. In her hand was no longer her staff, but a wand. It began to glow as she spoke, staring at them, her MP/health bar seemed to have the most minor of scratches, which suddenly ticked back. The two of them stared in disbeleif at this.

"wait what?" asked one of them, staring and obviously afraid now.

"You see, you two are idiots for pk'ing and idiots at pvp. Look over the facts; my numbers, are bigger than your's. funny thing really, you get to a high enough level and you're basically untouchable. My wounds heal, faster than you can make them. You could try to pk me all day, and not make progress farther than that. I'm sure it'd be rousing to watch you two feebly attempt to damage me, i'd probably get a kick out of it too." she said and raised the wand, the tip a blood red as she took aim. "However, i promise you two that you will never Pk again. Lest you wish to enjoy me killing you much slower and much more painfully." Titania said as she cast the wand. "Astral Cannon." said the female, a ten second stream of death erupting from the wand, a unique spell that none of them had seen before, even more eerily in a blood red instead of the astral white/purple in a meter and a half across beam. It evaporated the two players, the rocks behind them and left a line of trees missing a rounded chunk or fallen out to about thirty meters.

Spinning the wand, the female slid it down into her bag and returned to look at the rest of the group. "Shall we go slay some ogres now?" the cheery voice asked, happy once more and seemingly cleared of the fog that had cluttered around her.

"ofcourse i'll be fine. I didn't hit level ninety in my subclass for nothing." Titania said, scratching the back of her robed head with a bit of a smile behidn the mask. At the moment, one of them wanted to do good and protect the town since nobody else seemed to be and the other on seemed to be observant. Close enough for a trustful group, the 'girl' figured.
As they walked, Titania closed her eyes and mentalally sorted the spells she would use in this. "Magic armor..." she said softly as they'd noticed her health bar (which was absurdly and unusually small to begin with) hide behind her mp bar which was uncharacteristically oversized for her level, more akin to something twice her level.
