ID:248963 LD: 9 +3 EXP 56/149-59/149 WELP! Thats it! These rocks were completely useless, sure there were a few more she could look under but Mari was growing very tired and very frustrated, she didn't want to deal with this damn quest anymore. SHe couldn't imagine anyone crazy enough to do this for EVERY. SINGLE. PROFESSION. Oh wait, yes she could, a man who would wear broken glasses and a red cape. He'd be the kind of driven person to do this. Mari, however, was not. A part of her wanted to leave right now, but then there is the time sunk fallacy, right? She had al

ID:248962 LD: 6 +3 EXP 53/149 -56/149 What was that childhood story, the one with the little girl and how she somehow walked into a house belonging to three bears? with the porridge and the beds and stuff? This felt like that. The three rocks were like the three bears, one was too big one was too small. That means the medium rock should be juuust right - RIGHT? and that meant that surely there would be a material underneath it? RIGHT? Mari didn't want to get her hopes up. It was a good thing she didn't too because as she lifted the rock and saw a whole lot of nothing she let i

ID:248961 LD: 2 +3 EXP 50/149 - 53/149 Mari blinked. Oh....hang on just a minute. She had to open up her status screen because she must have missed it , but....did her foraging just rank up? Lets see....Mari scrolled through the menu till she found it and EYUP! Rank 2. Cool, I guess? Mari wasn't too fused about trying to level up her foraging skill, she picked it up to just have on standby if needed. She thought it'd be fine for now, but if today taught her anything it meant that she was really lacking in...well....everything. There were...lets see...Mari counted t

ID:248960 LD: 8 +3 EXP RANK UP! 47/49 - 50/49 EXP --> [50-149 EXP] Rank 2 - Journeyman Forager: Successfully forage for materials on a LD 13+. Well, Mari got to think about nice hot showers for a good few minutes but unfortunately before she could get to that she had work to do, and that work was ....you guessed it finding one last material. You'd think finding materials would be a little easier. You'd think Mari would attempt to do a better job at like, preparing herself for such a thing, but you were wrong. Mari was after all, a Player Killer and Player killers could not walt

ID:248959 LD: 3 +3 EXP Gathering Profession: 44/49 - 47/49 Mari sighed as she first sat on the rock, staring at her hands. They were covered in dirt. Dirt was like, totally everywhere. It was beneath her nails, it was crusted on her palms, her wrists her legs, it was everywhere. Mari turned over her hands to look at the top of them and -eyuup they were also covered in dirt. Mari would wipe her brow and instead of wiping off the sweat, she'd just simply wipe dirt ONTO her forehead instead. Man, that wasn't a very smart move now was it? oh well. Mari would shower later.

POST ACTION: GATHERING MATERIALS ID:248958 LD: 20 CD: 3 +8 EXP +1 Material Gathering Profession: 36/49 - 44/49 OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, FINALLY ANOTHER MATERIAL. Mari yanked it out from the weeds and shoved it into her inventory, because she was a woman and we all know women clothes don't really have pockets, although yes her shorts did have pockets, she didn't want to be stuffing them with materials. She wanted to be stuffing them with, I dunno? what was better than this? anything. Hell she'd even shove actual slimes from the slime farm into her pockets over this.

POST ACTION: GATHERING MATERIALS Mari looked up at the sky, and winced, because she did the dumb. She directly looked at the sun. And do you know what the sun is? its like a big ball of FIRE IN THE GODDAM FUCKING SKY AND ITS LIEK OH NO WHY WOULD YOU FUCKING LOOK AT THAT!? Anyway seeing where the sun was positioned it was like, Mari would have to assume it was noon? or something, which meant she had been at this for almost an hour and a half already. Maybe she should get a watch, if she did- she'd say it was half past freckle, Mari was cool like that. Lots of fun jokes. Baldur

Okay...now Mari had collected three out of the five materials needed to return to Malachi to complete the quest, but that also meant she still needed to find two more, where should she find those two more materials? Uhm... Mari just kinda like, looked around. Her blue eyes scanning the endless grassy fields around her as she tried to figure out what the hell else she was supposed to do to find materials whilst foraging. This is why she preferred fishing over foraging. Mari doubted she'd ever really have a need or use for materials but hey, maybe one day she would. Maybe the general store

POST ACTION GATHERING MATERIALS GUESS WHAT? ITS ANOTHER FORAGING ATTEMPT! Mari had stood, and brushed off her hands, it was an act in futility, because I mean, the dirt was wet so it kinda clung to her hands like cling wrap clings to food when you leave it in the micrwave too long and then it just sags down into the food and you're like oh no, and you try to pull it up and out but its too hot and you burn your fingertips? Yeh it's kinda like that. Except instead of cling wrap Mari was now standing by a tree Mari started ripping the bark off the tree, that counted as foraging rig

POST ACTION GATHERING MATERIALS So here Mari stood, well actually....here Mari sat. Yeh. Sat. On her hands and knees as she tried to like forage. She moved on from her little dirt patch and shimmied over on ehr hands and knees to like, try and find a different patch...of...well..dirt. Yeh, so off to a different patch, except this wasn't dirt this was....drumroll please! It was MUSHROOMS, Mari started to crunch the mushrooms in her hands, thankful they weren't like death cap mushrooms or anything because they'd be bad, even just touching them would have been bad. But no, these were you run

POst action: Gathering materials After ripping up that clump of grass Mari decided to do it again. Because thats what one does when they do these relentless gathering quests - they waste time by ripping up clumps of grass and watching it flutter by in the wind. Wow this game felt so real huh? Even the blades of grass left that slightly itchy feeling on your hand when you played around in it a little too much. Mari pulled up even more lumps of grass to reveal a nice clean patch of dirt, and in that patch of dirt she started to dig using her hands because what else was she suppo

Post Action: Gathering Materials Mari walked outisde because outside is outside yanno how its the opposite of indoors well this was outdoors so after stepping over that threshold and being from indoors to outdoors mari was now outdoors. And do you know what people do outdoors? They get hit by the sun, oh wow the sun is so nice and warm mm yes. Mari closed her eyes and thought about how amazing the sun was on her skin because she was in prison or something for like two years and when you are in prison for two years you don't get to see the sun on your face or feel the sun on your face

Post Action: Talking to Malachi Since the updates; Mari knew she wanted to take the Artisan quest; it'd help with her tinkering. Granted she didn't feel like the boon of system assisted crafting really suited her - but at the same time. If it helped... if it gave her the ability to be able to fix things in her workshop without having to reach out to Atan - well... that would be for the best. Mari wanted to keep her word to Freyd, and the more she thought about it. The more she realized that she was naive to think the man was some form of doctor. He was a chemist, and Aincrad was his playg

Standard Recovery +4 EN, Inspirational {Shiina} +4 EN, Hyperactive +3 EN, Hyperactive Duration [1/3] Small clanking pieces of armour stood beside a set of etheral wolves - beyond that - the biggest of all. A large guardian with fire for eyes - its billowing form barely held together beneath a tattered brown cloak. Mari slammed the blunt end of her halberd against the ground to get its attention. Its head whipped to her. "I call dibs on the big one." With a flick of her wrist she wrapped the garrote wire around the handle of her blade. "Stand back please, first time tryi

Standard Recovery +4 EN, Inspirational {Shiina} +4 EN Another round of attacks passed in a blurred flury, turns shifted - enemies slain and the dull thunks of weapons into digital flesh. Mari gave a small nod to Nisahime - when she asked if Mari remembered. "Yeh. I do." Mari didn't mean to brush off the other woman with such a curt reply - she was just busy. Mari took a step back so Shiina could run forward into the fray, and ducked under another weapon as it was swung in the small hallway. The space was small, difficult for Mari to be able to fight properly in - still. She'd make use o

"Guess that makes you the fruity patootie." Mari stared at Raidou, confused. "W-what?" She turned her eyes to the others, some seemingly much more serious than others. "I ...suppose I can be?" Mari said - not used to the juxposition and mixture of free spirited fighters and serious ones all smashed together in a small dungeon. Mari trailed along behind Raidou, close to him. "So..who are-" her eyes shifted to Nisahime. That person. "She has a regular one today." Mari commented. "Last time - 'twas blue. Nisahime. RIght?" It was said with a slight smile, an attempt to connect to anothe

There was something so incredibly heartwarming about watching him move around the basement. The way he’d tap his lips when he spoke, the furrow of his brow. Mari wondered if he noticed that he would tap his index finger lightly against his thumb when his gears were turning. Or how his lips would move wordlessly, as though his voice couldn’t keep up with his thoughts. Mari watched the man and found it difficult to accept just how much she adored him. How easily he had neatly wrapped himself up in the empty spaces in her heart. Igniting emotions that Mari thought were long dead. In such a short

Chaos was a mother fucking understatement. Raidou appeared and immediately summoned his weapon, Mari fumbled a moment before doing the same. A hand held out to her side, and with a flash of white a halberd appeared in Mari's hand, black handle and dark blade that dripped a black miasma. Tiny bubbles floated around it, and would pop - the liquid hissing as it hit the ground. She'd taken part in a ....what did people call it? A scrimmage? That sounded right. She took part in a scrimmage against the colossal crab before but it was nothing like this. Players threw themselves at it from ever w

An invitation from one of the very precious few Mari trusted. The promise of Col. Something Mari never really cared for in her past - but now something she needed in spades. Having a man who could torch the very ground he walked upon for getting a little too heated, too excited had its drawbacks. Fireproofing an entire home is costly. Wanting to give someone the world meant one had to have the world first. Mari arrived at the beach on time, but found little more than some oddly displaced pink petals in the air. Mari reached out and plucked one. She rolled it around between thumb and foref

The Knight's image flickered, and turned into something that looked like Hirru. Mari rubbed her eyes, her world span - a disorientating mess. Mari activates her charge skill—her halberd crackling to life with arcs of black lightning as she bolts forward. The frozen ground shudders beneath each step, and her war cry cuts through the stale dungeon air. She lunges, aiming to pierce through the armor of the looming shadow knight. Mari felt like it smiled at her from behind its visage - but it was just a feeling...creeping up her consciousness just like every other thing did on this damnable floor.

Mari wasn’t privy to the words exchanged between Lancaster and Freyd. It was a conversation they had before she came back inside. Worry bubbled up inside her. She could take a guess, and it wasn’t pleasant. Mari offers Lancaster a worried glance as words spilt forth from him like a fountain. Lifting a bound hand to gently brush his cheek, unlike him Jubilex allowed her movement - though its inky black tendrils still curled tightly around her fingers in a quiet warning as if to say ‘don’t give these to him’ Mari wouldn’t. Although in the moments that followed she was tempted to do so. To rip a

POST ACTION: TAKE A DRINK: ID:248654 LD: 3 -Warm sake Mari somehow, somehow felt like she was the most sober of the three - despite having drunk quite a lot - maybe its because she stopped? Arcanthus was still drinking heavily and Mari couldn't help but feel a little worried for the brunette. They now sat in the bar - if one could call it that, the wood was fetid and rotten around them, storm clouds ruptured above with a thunderous cry - an oncoming sign of rain. Mari winced. She didn't want to be here when it started. “In… Indubit…Dubital…. Yea, it’s drinking time.” Ma

Hidden reacted just as Mari had expected, most people Mari had told seemed completely shocked at the revelation that anyone could imprison her, let alone that she was being targeted in the first place. The sharp turn almost caused Mari to bump into Hidden. Her eyes were wide with a kind of hurt shock. “Imprisoned?” Mari nodded and reached out to place a comforting hand on her shoulder, more questions came. Mari was ready to answer them then and there on that quaint little path that lead to a vine encrusted home nestled away from the world in its own special corner, but Hidden wasn't having it

Hiddens breath hitched, and with trembling hands she returned Mari's embrace. Her fingers gripped Mari's shirt tight, like a lifeline. As though Mari would disappear if she were to let go for even a second. Mari felt a little guilty at that. Being imprisoned meant she had no way of messaging anyone - she had no clue if Hidden had tried, and her calls for aid or advice, or company had gone unanswered. Had she reached out? if so...how many times went unanswered? Messages lost to the void? Another small squeeze before Mari let go, her hands lingered on Hiddens shoulders. "I suppose the matching c
