Altera: Of the Destitute and the Destined

The snow looked nicer out here. With how far out they are there is no dirt on the top of all the snow making it brown, and there was no abundant shoe marks that crushed the snow in, it made the whole land look like a large sheep was sleeping and they were walking on its back. Argen watches the right side, he has most of his gear on the cart while he still carries his spear in his hand and uses it so if he trips he can catch himself, and his shield stays on his arm ready to go at any moment. He is on edge, but this is normal for Argen when he is on a mission as he is always worried about the next thing to come. In an attempt to keep himself light and still flexible he took off his cloak, yet it didn't matter much as with the sun up it was warmer, plus there was no wind so the cold was easy to handle. Other than Argen's many worries this was quite pleasant and really a nice pace.

Yet he was off from his normal self, more on edge as he would occasionally look back over his shoulder. It started when he began to hear a song being sung he was startled and stopped in his tracks for just a moment as it was awfully familiar as he said to himself in a faint breath, "Flavus?". His mind immediately refocused and he continued walking just one step off of where he was as he looks slightly back as he looked back to see it was Katya singing. Their voices were not the same, yet were close enough to trick him from time to time as he didn't pay attention to it.

Argen did keep his focus and composure through this peaceful trek, yet was having occasional flashbacks of his family as he listened to Katya's song. It was not a song Flavus knew but their voice was so similar in his mind it disturbed him, and it was an eerie familiarity as they both are similar enough. He didn't realize it when he met Katya but it now dawned on him as he watched Katya. However they were defiantly different, Katya is smaller than Flavus, blue hair instead of red, and he doesn't know Katya enough to tell how similar their personality truly is. But they are similar enough to make Argen need to make a double take before he accidentally says something that Katya wouldn't understand or would make him sound like a mad man.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the cart continued forward Argen perked up in the direction of the sound of moving water. As he looked he found a large river in front of them. His first instinct is to check the depth as he walks towards it and starts poking his spear at it. As he did he found going any farther than around 15 feet would be risky as he didn't know if it would just drop off any deeper, and he didn't want to get anymore of his clothing wet as he did with the tips of his pants. He just began to step out and began looking around at the area. Just watching the surroundings and waiting for someone to make a suggestion before he strips and walks into the water to check the overall depth as it would be the fastest solution, in his mind, to find a way across. Thankfully Ettamri spoke up quickly as she told each of them to split up into 2 teams of 2 as she stayed with the others and watched the cart. Argen turned in the direction to see what was there, more water, snow, and trees just about what he expected. Before taking off though he took his cloak and bag with him and then began to leave. He didn't need to wait on the Mage, he believed in the man in keeping up with him, and most don't like being left behind.

As Sammual made it to the end of the hallway he slowly pried the door open and looked. There was darkness and silence. Unsettling quietness ad it felt like something was sapping the area of all noise. As he squeezed under he slowly forced the door down again as he began his treck furthur in, now with his flash light out as he searches for an exit. Fuck his Partner, Sammual wanted to leave, if his partner was dead weight he didn't want to search the inside for them, but if they were useful they would have already been outside and either waiting for him or taking assessment, and in all honesty Sammual wants to see what is waiting for him outside. If it was in outer space, then they are both fucked on this ship with these strange creatures, but if they are on a planet at least they can leave this ship behind.

As Sammual headed deeper in he started to feel an ominous presence, almost as if something was watching him. It felt like a great pressure was looming over him as he started to feel his heart beat grow, his hearing became more acute yet there was that ominous feeling as it felt like the sounds around him are dulled, his footsteps sound less crisp and more dull, his heartbeat rang in his ears, and his breaths were baited yet silent as he made his way continuing through the area until he heard a commotion from the door to his left. The presence faded away as he looked over, aiming his flashlight, as he placed his ear on the door to hear some creaking. Sammual started to leave as he began checking each door most having no noise. Yet one had a strange sound of nothing. Not like deafening silence, but like of silence, just normal silence. Sammual opened the door to be hit with a batch of fresh air as he saw a hole in the wall the size of a damn car as it showed a large rock with lush greenery around it. This air almost feels like poison to his lungs as it feels to fresh for the hyerventalating man, but he acclimated as he slowly checked out to see how wonderful the veiw is, anod is astonished at the gorgeous veiw, only to be more dazzled by how high he is. He would have never been able to find himself in a place like this when in his old life.

He sighed as he now had to think what is his next plan. He has a way out, now he needs a way to contact his partner, maybe if he can make smoke signals? That won't work and just plain dumb, what he needs to do is find a way down and make a plan.

------------------------------------------------------------

Guy is just as he was. Bored as he watches a paraplegic walk aimlessly through a ship to find the partner set up. All the while 'cautiously' walking around deadly 'traps' and 'creatures'. None of which he stepped into as he is too much of a pushy to investigate 90% of them. "What a bore".

Altera: Of the Destitute and the Destined

As Argen continues to carry bags he began to see Siwon...struggling? As Argen starts to think about why, ' Hmm it might be they focused on his core and lower body so his upper arms are slightly lacking, it would be good to teach him proper lifting technique so when he needs to do more lifting he wouldn't hurt himself '. As Siwon started gravitating towards him, Argen started to talk to Siwon and began by asking if Siwon knows the basics of lifting. Then started showing Siwon different ways to lift so he could be more effective and not hurt himself.

From lowering the body and placing the bag on the shoulder or head to have the body take the weight, to straight up dead lifting the bag and penguin-ing over to the cart, Argen tried to help Siwon learn to use his legs and core strength to lift instead of with his arms. As Siwon could probably lift quite a bit as Fiend knights do some pretty impressive evasive maneuvers and strange movements to pull off attacks, Siwon just needed to learn what are his advantages. With all of this happening Argen still was ferrying bag after bag with ease while showing the different things he tried to teach Siwon. This did slow down his progress slightly so he could demonstrate more clearly for Siwon but it should help for later endeavors.

Altera: Of the Destitute and the Destined

As Argen watched and listened to everyone as everyone started to decide on the different things they would do with the morning before they take the quest, Argen spoke out and said, "I will have to decline the offer as I have to do some preparations. I will see you all at the Recruiting Office". As Argen began to leave and began his preparations for this trip.

He left to go to his home and gather what he had for such an endeavor. He sighs as he enters a small worn down house. It was more like a shack, but still worked as he entered to begin his collection. A large pelt of a bear worn with scars and stitches, yet still was good at keeping warmth even in the hellish nights of cold. His large bear cloak he now places over his brown coat and chain armor. He cleans and checks his boots for any damage he could repair before leaving, and then switches to his heavy duty bag instead of his light Burlap sack bag.

He starts collecting all of his small cooking things, a small pot so he can make hot water to warm up in the morning and maybe prep something for a meal while they are out, a wooden spoon for him to heat up some good old stew, and a wooden bowl for said stew, he took note to buy some ingredients and continued his collection of things. He then grabs a roughly carved wooden mug that seems to have a few nicks here and there but is still good for use. He holds it for a moment and sighs as he rubs his hand on the side with a small carved Spero on it. He placed it into his bag as he continued to grab items. He grabbed the food he bought to sustain himself for about a few days, but he knew it was not enough, so he would need to buy more, but it shouldn't be too bad. At least with him buying some fresh ingredients it would make up for food.

Now as he looks at everything he has he heads out to buy the last little bit of things he would like to have before heading to the meet his party. He went out and bought some potatoes, a bit of spices (enough to make a bland stew less bland), a black scarf that can be used to cover his face or just leave at his neck so he will keep his neck warm and feel better, and a tarp and some metal spikes so he can make a cover to break the wind or cover against snow fall at night. As he leaves he sighs out a deep breath as he takes his pelt that is wrapped around himself and tightens it as begins his journey to the Recruiting Office, with the sun barely heading over and began to start hitting him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the rest of his party were either at the office or about to arrive the wait wasn't long. As the page began to guide them to the carts, he shot Argen a look, a look he knew all too well. However immediately shot the same look towards one of his partymates. To whom Argen could not tell as he couldn't follow his line of sight clearly, but that means that someone else had a similar reputation of having a shady history even if it is on purpose or not. He didn't bring it up as it would be useless as he didn't know the person, but it did not leave much of a mark as people did what they did and he'll leave it at that. If it comes to it and it becomes a problem he is willing to start a search for information, but that can wait. Right now he needs to focus on the situation at hand loading this cart with bags.

On the instruction of Ettamri, Argen began loading bags without saying a word of back sass or affirmation he just began his work with a sigh as the cold feels like hell froze over and left the gate open. He took off his cloak, weapons, and bag as he set them near the entrance and set off to work. He started off easy to just see how heavy each bag was. After a few bags he started grabbing 2 bags at a time to speed up the process. His brown coat was not all too thick, it was just enough to stop Argen from shivering profusely, and not too much more, but it did keep him warm enough to do work with ease. As he did his work he did it in silence as he doesn't really have anything to talk about to others. If they needed something they could ask him if they didn't they would do their work and not bother him. He watched as Oscar was playing with Katya and wanted her to 'help' him, it was fine as it would begin to help her get to know someone more and make a friend, but Argen didn't pay much more mind to it as there is still plenty of bags to move.

'Hm how long has it been since I started sitting in this crate?' A moment feels like minutes, minutes feel like eons in this lonely crate. With nothing but his thoughts, a 'gun, a small booklet, and a mysterious arm gun, comb, toothbrush hybrid thing. He grew tired of trying to figure out the arm and just started sitting in the box with the flashlight as he started to read the booklet over and over again, just waiting as the sounds get distant. As at one point a creature managed its way in and started to look in the room. It seemed they couldn't find him as it left the room after some time, however it did seem to have a strange way of walking as it sounded like skittering instead of solid foot prints or even a shlooping sound of mass hitting the ground. These creatures could be any kind of insect: a large mutant cockroach, a large beetle that can eat through metal and humans, or....'oh god no' he thought immediately as he thought of the idea that it could be a creature that is like a sea scorpion.

Sammual shutters at the thought as he slowly opens the box and crawls out as he looks around with the flash light and begins to quietly walk out. He is now quite aware of what he is in for as he is on high alert but still needs to head forward as he needs to find his partner and get the fuck out of there as this is no place for a anyone. He slowly makes his way through the corridor trying his best to not alert anyone of his presence.

After some time of slow and methodical walking, he found a door that would lead him to a new area of the ship. Maybe he will find his companion, maybe he will find an exit, or maybe he will find a large group of whatever these things are, whatever is beyond this door it will be at least be something in the direction of finding his way out and maybe some food.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guy becomes ecstatic to see Sammual start to move and is hopping with joy, until he sees Sammual take a boring slow approach and sighs internally as he now has to watch a paraplegic cyborg walk slowly through a hall way.

Eden Entry (KRIM N T3KC)

As Sammual began to listen to the different sounds coming from the rooms. Maybe the 'creatures' found something in there and don't know he's here maybe they do and they are just clearing the other rooms before coming to get him. Whatever is happening it doesn't matter they are near him though. He felt his heart rate begin to increase then, slow down. He felt himself calm as his heart began to regulate him and allow him to make more sane decisions as he is in a calmer state. He begins to inspect his left arm as he checks for anyway to release the compartment. With the help of the red light and some rubbing on the arm he found a small piece of metal that is not fully flushed with the rest of the arm. As he began to pry it open it slowly slips open and reveals a an almost barrel like compartment. With a diameter of no more than a half an inch it can fit many different bullet sizes, but what came to mind for Sammual is his metal stake he first fired. As he slipped it in he found it fit nice and cozy as he sealed the arm again he felt more assured he was ready to fire it again, yet knew he had a single shot to clear a path if at all, so he bided his time and maybe he will hear as the 'creatures' go away.

As he waits he begins to read the book on what this air gun is and was immediately disappointed that it did not fire any rounds or picked up/threw objects. What it did was send a series of compressed waves of air to discombobulate and incapacitate a target. He sighed as he though what it could work on. 'Fleshy things, plant like things, fishy things, any bird is would screw over, in a carapace it would be the equivalent of a large baseball bat. Maybe crack or hurt it and the carapace, but defiantly not what I would be aiming for'

He just sits there and begins to think what these creatures actually are. Would they belike from Aliens, would they be like some bipedal creature? He then stops for a moment and a videogame comes to mind. He near god damn shudders from just the though of these things being necromorphic like from Dead Space. He now begins to fiddle with the arm out of fear and in hopes of finding some hidden weapon he can use.

His heart starts to increase at high rate and then starts to decrease as his heart began to feel like it slowed down almost immediately. This felt good as when he is normally startled by something he has a heightened heart rate that keeps going even many minutes after the event took place, but here it felt like something was forcing him to stay focused. As he spends the next hour fiddling with the arm in the enlaced box in hopes of understanding everything he has on him and to wait for the sounds to fade away to let him know it is safe for him to proceed and find his partner. Who ever that may be.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Guy' is getting upset with Sammual for sitting there and doing nothing, but he can't just throw open the doors and point a sign to where he is. Sammual is in too much of a situation where he will just die if he did that. So 'Guy' just waited and watched as they both now start to see what weird things this arm can do.

Eden Entry (KRIM N T3KC)

In a fit of fear and adrenaline Sammual ran as fast as he could. Faster than he could every think of. His speed was quite extraordinary really. Running faster than an Olympic athlete he cleared this hall in no time at all and finds himself facing a new door. He stops his sprint with a large hop and drop kicks as the door in front of him. It caves in and bends the bottom open, which he then used to crawl under to get away as fast as he could.

This hall is immediately terrifying as he sees many of these doors forced open and destroyed. This hall had emergency lights on which gives it an eerie feeling of danger as everything has a red light on it. He knew he fucked up as he made a large commotion and now finds himself with no weapon and no where to hide as behind him there is a 'creature', and in front of him there are possibly more as well. He lets out a "Fuck" as he stands up and looks into the closest room to him. It seems locked, he didn't want to make too much more noise so he starts looking at what he has on him he finds a key card, he shrugged as he tried it on the key panel, and it worked as it opened to the right and let him in.

As he entered the door closed behind him and sealed it self, it seemed safe in here, there was a red light in here so it was still tense for him. As he begins to look around there seemed to be many smashed opened metal boxes. As he began to look he didn't find anything in any of them, but he did find one that wasn't opened yet. As he used his left arm to 'softly' force it open he was able to find an emergency flash light, a lighter, some batteries for the flashlight, and a strange looking rifle. It seemed to have a label on it. As he used the flash light on it he sighed in frustration as he says, "A gun that fires compressed air. Why? That won't help".

As he continued to go through the box he found a small booklet that had some instructions on what it does, he shrugs as this will help him at least figure out what it does. Maybe it will fire a silent projectile, or will it have enough force to throw people around, kind of like a gravity gun. Maybe, just maybe this will come in handy.

As he began to hear some noises coming from the next room over, he knew that he might have over stayed his welcome, so he stayed hidden in the metal box he broke open, as he messes with his arm to find a place to put the stake and be able to fire it again.

Eden Entry (KRIM N T3KC)

As Sammual was left to his own devices he begins to look around. He began looking at the room he is in, "Tons of pods, many seem op-". Immediately stopping himself as he nearly pukes from looking at the mangled body inside one of the pods. He slowly backs away as he looks at the 20 or so pods in his area that seem to have a nice smear of red across the glass. He sighs as he then says, "Time to leave it seems I'll test my new legs and arm later".

He immediately turns towards the singular door in the room as he begins to inspect it. "this won't open normally, so let's try this".

As he begins from pulling at all angles from all ways: up, down, left, right. Yet nothing happened, until he had enough and decided to drop kick the door. It parted at the center, almost as if it was meant to be 2 pieces of a door that come from the top and bottom. He audibly sighs as he begins to use his mechanical arm and leg to open up the door just wide enough so he can pivot himself out and let it shut behind him.

He finds himself in a large very strangely gloomy hallway. He sighs once looking around as he realizes this is his life now, walking around a dark spaceship with unknowns everywhere, he feels like he was thrown into an aliens movie. He decides to sit down and begin to inspect his prosthetics as it would be useful to see if they have any special things to them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-After 20 minutes of fiddling with the arm-

"Hey!" As he turns his index finger he sees a comb come out and allows him to do some grooming before going back to fiddling with the arm. As he holds his thumb and twists it his wrist locks up and turns pointing his index and middle finger out like a gun. Sammual looks curious as he pulls the thumb back as a small electricity started to charge.

He looks amused as he just watches until the electricity hits a peak and stays there as he just shrugs and he flexes his thumb to a normal position to find his arm kick back and launch a small projectile into the wall. In extreme excitement and fear he scurries over to look at it, to find this small metal stake stuck into the wall. He begins to fish it out as he examines it as he tries to now figure out how to place it back into his arm.

Almost immediately as he went back to sitting he began to hear some strange noises, and in fear that an Alien (Like the Alien from Alien vs. Predator and movies of the sort) was in here. He stood up immediately and began listening to where the sound is coming from and began going the exact opposite direction. Not quietly, loudly. And fast.

He ran in fear as he didn't know what was here and just used his only known weapon on a wall. So he ran into the dark strange halls in hopes of finding that partner or maybe an exit, but his only worry right now is an alien that will kill him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The being who shall now be named Guy, was getting bored of watching Sammual sitting there so he just opened up some rooms and made it seem like there was a creature in here with him. If there is, Guy doesn't know yet, but Sammual will find out for him. If nothing else it was fun watching Sammual run like a little girl in fear.

Eden Entry (KRIM N T3KC)

Slowly coming back to consciousness is easy, it is a mild transition that can make understanding everything that happened and is happening a lot easier to digest. Sammual was not give such a luxury as he wakes up almost like he was thrown into an ice bath. He begins to breath heavily as he finds himself in a large pod that seems to have a large glass door that slowly begins to open. He breaths out a heavy sigh as he begins to hear the voice of the strange being that brought him here, "You are finally able to move. You are awake and we can now begin the game!"

Sammual immediately said, "Fine. I guess I have no choice".

The being even if it is incorporeal and invisible seemed to have a shit eating grin on as they continue, "Well I also have a gift for you!"

As Sammual is near god damn forced to stand as the being yells out, "Tada!"

As Sammual doesn't fall over he has a face of confusion as he looks down with a great speed he sees his legs are...metallic. As he begins to feel them he realizes his left arm is also metallic, and he begins to realize he does not have an arm or his legs as he just lets out a, "Son of a bitch really?"

As Sammual looks up to just a random corner as he says, "You couldn't have given me a body with real legs?". As he looks back down at himself, he looks more toned than ripped so it will be strange, yet he doesn't mind being able to stand again. He begins to roll up the thick military clothing he has on to make the long sleeves go down to his elbows, and his pants going up to his knees.

The being then pipes up with a smirk, "Well I could if you want. The body stands at 6'1, black hair down to the shoulders, well developed muscles, green eyes, and a bust size of DD". Sammual is stunned as he was slightly getting into the idea until it is revealed to be a female body as he says with a firm, "No".

The being begins to try to convince him, "Come on I know you liked big boobs. I can see that look in your eye. You are thinking about finding her right now and groping them aren't you?"

Sammual seeming slightly flustered states an even firmer, "No".

The being begins to then continue, "Oh you're just a treat. Well enough of forcing your fantasies out I have your first task. Find your partner. You have 2 days to find them. If you can not find them within that time I will give you D sized breasts"

And before the being metaphorically walked away it comes back with one more piece of info, "And everyday you take longer I will increase the size".

Altera: Of the Destitute and the Destined

Argen slowly pulls away his hand for Siwon as he begins to...go off on this child that just appeared? He doesn't care as Siwon will either get scolded by someone else or just entirely ignored, and Argen does mind either. He takes a side step to round out the circle, and give himself the ability to watch the small priest, 'She is a little more than fresh, she seems to not even know what she could be caught up in. Yet, I can't blame her. What else could she do? She would have no other skills, so taking a mission with people who looked strong is the best option, but still'.

As Argen looks towards everyone they seemed to have all shifted away from the antics of Siwon and suspicions of himself. He then begins to take stock of everyone. Okay winter clothing. A bit of food, to get us there and back, maybe. A good party composition, yes. 2 back line, a support, a defensive backline, a defensive frontline, and 2 offensive front lines. In all honesty, Argen sees this as a decent combination of classes. Mattering on the spells being packed by the mage and cleric this could go smoothly as they make their way to the fort a possibility is to purify and cremate bodies to get a bit of extra money.
