Jomei

"Huh" Jomei said with a small nod, looking towards the NPC, "I see." "Well, if I'm being honest.. I'm not the more persistent crafter. So I don't use materials very often... Maybe I'll pick it back up soon, we don't have enough consistent Performers in the field." B Loosely balled fists slid into the pockets of his pants as he took slower steps forward in Nari's direction, denoting a beginning to the garden where they would gain the ability to find materials more easily. "In reality, I came here in search of these items I heard of.. called Demonic Shards. I heard they can be used to great

There were plenty of comfortable looking spots in the spring, some more secluded, some with a better view -- whether it was the scenery or other occupants. Even where the ginger decided to park himself was a pretty prime spot, but as he shifted to get a better look at where Morningstar sat, the rocks behind him allowing the man to recline as if he were sitting in a La-Z Boy chair.. perfect spots for his arms and all. "Seems your right, guess you've got quite the eye for premium seating in an onsen" he said before laughing at how ridiculous he sounded. Jomei wasn't able to lean back as comforta

Jomei shone a side eyed glance towards Koga, a curious brow raising to the middle of his forehead. The man seemed engrossed in his inbox, quickly sending small messages, and getting responses back within a few short moments. His gaze did not stray long, as to not make the man uncomfortable or pry into the private conversation he held with another. In the same moment he had turned his attention forward once more, the three had made it to the garden, and Nari was addressing the NPC known as Nemo. The ginger looked upon the quest giver with a furrowed brow, curious as he dug through his own memor

Fusing Rapier pieces using Koga's shop (With permission) Banker has been paid 3 Gleaming Scales and 1 Demonic Shard Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Final Weapon: Item Name: Fragarach Profession: Blacksmith Rank: 7 Roll ID: Fusion Item Type: Rapier Tier: 4 Quality: Demonic Enhancements: Absolute Acc | Fallen 2 | Holy Description: The black blade of this rapier seems to have been once shattered, but pieced back together and mended with a glittering, gold material. The hilt and handguard a jade green color akin to its wielder. Post Link: Here

Jomei stood in the front of the shop for a moment, just looking at the different decor that was set up, waiting for Koga to return. After a few moments, he came back with a simple rapier. "That should do perfectly, thanks." Taking the weapon from Koga, Jomei brought it over to the table where the other pieces were arranged. He set the newly crafted rapier beside the jade hilt, placing the Gleaming Scale between them. Tapping the the three items, they became engulfed in a white light before creating a single weapon. Jomei continued to follow suit, combining that new piece with the thin met

"Oh?" Jomei blinked wide, not expecting Koga's compliment atop his apology. Fingers pinched at the ends of his cloak as he opened it up, peeking down at his attire for the day. The same long green and black coat he typically wore. Turning his gaze back up to Koga, he grinned, "Well, thank you." Had he done something different today, or was Koga just being kind? The three had finally disembarked, with the familiar sight of Nari taking the lead towards their quest objective. Jomei didn't have any memory of taking this quest before, at least not on this floor. It seemed a lot of the quests t

Just one quick round of attacks from the three players, and the Terra Firma's health bar was already dipping rather low. Another few successful strikes, and they would be able to call this quest completed. Each of their attacks so far managed to strike at the giant bullette's weak points below its armored hide, allowing them to deal a little bit of extra damage. Preparing another attack, Jomei took in a deep breath as he scanned for the best approach. Charging at full speed through the sand was difficult, but they were managing thus far. Another boost of his Charge skill would have been

"Hey, Koga." The ginger entered the establishment with a smile and a wave. "Sorry to drop by without notice, I wanted to see if you could help me out with something.." Diving into his inventory, Jomei pulled out enough items to cover a table top; a jade hilt, a finely crafted, thin point blade, and his own rapier, Nihilim's Wrath. Along with the various implements to the perfect weapon, he also pulled out three Gleaming Scales and a dark Demonic Shard. "I got my hands on these rapier pieces.. the stats on them are great alone.. but I feel they can make something better if the

Picking up. You're a gentleman (woman?) and a scholar.

Jomei's eyes ping-ponged back and forth between Nari and Koga, the latter seeming to not want to hear anything Nari had to say. Yet, here he was out with them on this quest. Even if it was for his own personal gain, he could found anyone else to make the trek out with him. His lips pressed together into a tight line, the awkwardness of being included in this tense conversation settling in. "Hey hey its alright." the ginger said, raising his hands with his palms facing outwards towards her, "Sounds like if you guys tried to have this conversation before meeting me, I would have been waiti

Jomei the emerald duelist The grapevine that was Aincrad’s social scene proved to be useful for many things. Finding out what players are in need of help or tales of veteran players being told as if they were some folk heroes. One of the most talked about topics, and more useful for that matter, was the talk of quests possibly unknown to the masses, and with Floor Twenty Seven newly unlocked, there was much to be discovered about the uncharted territory. All Jomei could pick up from eavesdropping on a small group of passeybys was that th

Jomei the emerald duelist Emerald eyes gazed out across the vast, ocean-covered floor. The sun's light, still peeking out from under the cover of the floor above, glittered against the gently rolling water like bouncing crystals of white. Each deep inhale he took through his nose brought with it a whiff of the briny ocean water. He found it pleasant, adding an extra layer to the serenity of his walk across one of the length bridges that stretched between two of the neighboring islands. The last time he had made his presence on the

Jomei the emerald duelist The excitement of the day's events simmered as the sun continued to set, bringing with it a chill to the air as darkness spread over Baldur's teardrop island and the rest of the floor with it. Even as the combatants and observers began to finish their plates, there was an air of curiosity at what would happen next. Their minds did not have to linger on the thought for long, as Baldur drew the attention of the masses once again. Conversations came to a halt as Baldur's voice carried over them. Once again, their

Shifting his position, Jomei turned around and instead leaned his back against the guiding rope, the planks of the suspended bridge pulling and creaking with every little motion. Allowing his head to lull back, staring up at the large, gray slate that served as the ceiling to this floor, and the platform that housed the Twenty First floor above them. It was high enough above them that players could easily find themselves lost in the beauty of a floor, but low enough to serve as a constant reminder that they were nowhere near clearing this game. Lids closed over emerald eyes with a small sigh,

The snow crunched underneath the soles of his boots as each step sank into the snow up to his ankles. Gripping at the sides of his cape, he pulled the fabric close to hug around his arms, doing its best to fight off the biting winds from making him any colder than he was. Another notification, most likely a response back from Nari, caught Jomei's attention as his eyes drifted to look at the small icon that flashed on his HUD. Ignoring it for now, the ginger continued to trudge through the snow. It never stormed much in Snowfrost, usually just the constant, yet gentle, snow. The cold was m

Jomei the emerald duelist Through slightly parted lips, a small cloud of fog slowly poured out, cautious not to make a sound. As the snow continued to fall, heavy and obscuring, mounds of white continued to gather atop the ginger's cloaked shoulders and head. Under normal circumstances, green would be a proper color to wear when trying to hide within the woods, meshing well with the bountiful greenery. When that lush, green color was snuffed out under blankets of

It was soon realized that, sometimes trying to strike up conversation with the host of an event was not always the best option so early on. Though he knew Baldur would be open to conversation, probably wanting it since he had been playing announcer and host for the entire day, including now, but he could only imagine how busy he was. Being one of his first moments of respite during the day, while not judging fights or being a silent observer, about half of the guests took this time to walk up to Baldur to greet him, or simply thank him for throwing this event. Jomei had to admit, he felt a bit

The only problem with making a request for an item at a mobile store is that the cart will not remain in the same place for long. And with Twenty Seven different floors, each with a varying amount of settlements, it was never easy to be able to figure out the exact location of Hirru's traveling merchant's stall. At least he was able to send a message to the Jade Hunter, and gain a better insight into where they were headed next. A quick use of the teleportation platform, and a short walk proved fruitful as the ginger saw the strange man who operated the front of the cart pull the vehicle

The combined front easily created a hole that the boarding party could use to push through the shield wall, easily clearing out those that remained, and becoming a single force that would storm the control room where Razwell, apparently sat in wait. Jomei formed up with the rest of the group, taking a moment to look out past the opening to the hanger, considering the possibility of allowing the others to take on the Landonian Emperor while he avoided the crowds and made his way back home. The thought quickly came and went, however, as Jomei decided against it, rushing forth beside the others a

At first, Jomei found himself dodging rows of razor sharp teeth the size of his head and the small flames that poured out around them as the two remaining heads chased the ginger down, trying to catch him within either one of their toothy maws. All of a sudden, the duelist found himself dodging the heads themselves as they fell to the ground like large boulders, cut clean from the muscular necks that they were once attached to. A single strike from Lessa's sword easily dealt with what remained of the Cerberus, and despite this not being the most formidable opponent for the two able bodied fron

From within a violently raging vortex of sand, the field boss made itself known to the players. The oversized land shark erupted from the ground, its blade-like tail carving through the desert as it twisted itself like a drill, pushing out of the sand. Two beady black eyes glared at the four players, its pointed face and most of its upper body protected by a hard outer shell, resembling the fins of a shark, just more jagged. Its legs and underbelly, however, relied merely on its thick skin to protect it from any attacks. Nari seemed to have made the same conclusion, the blade of her spea

Quite the mysterious front for a player's store.. Approaching the strange, robed individual at the front of the wagon, Jomei greeted them reluctantly before requesting to see the Jade Hunter who also worked out of the mobile merchant's stall. Circling around to the back, he found the green haired man sitting there. "Hey, Hirru." Jomei said with a small wave of his hand, "Interesting set up you've got here." With a swipe of his hand, Jomei summoned his menus. He continued speaking to Hirru as his eyes locked onto the screen, navigating the menus with a finger. "I've got a couple of

"If I'm being real with you." he began with a hooking smirk, "I couldn't tell you what a K-D is.. I don't think I've touched a Call of Duty game in my life. But I'll take your word for it, and pretend I'm super impressed." Jomei proceeded to lift his arms and bend at the waist in front of Lessa, mockingly bowing to her for her incredibly high K:D ratio... or was it supposed to be low? It seemed that, just as first person shooters were not Jomei's favorite type of game, the fantasy genre wasn't Lessa's forte. Though, as she said, they were pretty much living in a dungeons and dragons-esqu

The memory of the party at Koga's house just before the turn of the year brought a smile to his face. Good food, drinks, and company to be had. Looking at the small group, he realized that he had met both Astreya and Oji that night, despite having a nameless run in with Oji on the Twenty-Seventh Floor. It was not until the tournament that he got to meet Nari. His head nodded along with Astreya's words as she shared her own opinion of the two gatherings. "Koga's party was a very good time.. And the over flowing sink just added that extra bit of excitement that all parties need." "At least

"Hm?" Jomei took notice of the small, weasel like creature standing just in front of his boot. It looked up at him with a quizzical, crooked head. Jomei smiled back down at Oji's familiar. With a chuckle, he began to speak, "Don't get any funny ideas." Finally peeling his eyes from the sable, he looked to the crossbar of the canopy above him, where his actual target of conversation had been perched. The large owl peered down at the marten with its dark saucers for eyes, mimicking its tilting head motions. "I've trained you better than to go after other's familiars." Barely opening its beak, th
