Krysta

Azrea told Krysta that she would do as she pleased, and called her a princess. The pink haired player rushed forward and threw the dagger at the woman, which was deflected, but then the woman was struck multiple times on the joints. She was about to retaliate, but then Azrea jumped in, striking both players with her sweeping attack, which seemed similar to the Sword Art known as Explode Catapult. It wasn't exact, but it was close. When the woman got back up, she struck Azrea in the torso with the other end of the spear as the pink haired player kicked her, effectively sending her to the wall. Venorim ordered Azrea to stand down. Krysta decided that she would intervene if Azrea didn't listen, otherwise she would abstain and keep herself a safe distance away from the fight. Yolviinsil watched quietly, waiting to see what would happen, and listening for anything Krysta might ask her to do.

As Krysta continued searching, she felt more and more confident that she was going to succeed. She knew that she couldn't guarantee victory, but she could assure herself that it was possible. She noticed that Yolviinsil, her familiar, was looking at something. She looked in the direction that the ruby red feathered dragon was looking, and saw something sparkling in the distance. When she walked over, there were two blue crystals under one of the picnic tables. When she looked back up after picking up the two crystals, she saw Vigilon spot and collect blue crystals form under a table as well. "Great minds think alike, so the saying goes." She smiled at the thought. Two blue crystals and three green crystals...eleven points so far. She turned in the direction she would search next to see Kanari talking to a familiar white haired girl...Yinangi, was it? She didn't know much about her, but in her opinion, the girl had made at least one poor choice of who to befriend... She turned to try searching in a different direction, for she felt unwilling to be too close to the conversation, or find herself joining in when she had a task at hand.

(OOC: Oh, NOW I get it! Why didn't I realize that before? Guess I'll have to check my LD results on previous posts...)

Krysta walked throughout the field, making sure she wasn't missing any crystals. She wondered, how was her boyfriend doing in this competition? How was her enemy doing in this competition? How were the other players doing in this competition? It caused her thoughts to drift slightly, but she stopped herself, for the sake of keeping her focus, so that she could spot crystals without having to worry. Close to the picnic tables, there was another patch of grass longer than the rest, or was it the same one? When she walked over, she saw that it clearly wasn't, for when she moved her hand through the grass, she felt something hard, and picked up a green crystal. "That's three green crystals now, and that ads up to...nine points. I can win, I'm sure of it! I'll make the top three at the very least!" She also knew that this meant that if she kept this up, an enemy she knew would owe her some col...

Krysta continued her search, keeping her eyes peeled for any crystals that could be found. She had one green crystal, but she would need to find more before the other players get ahead of her. She noticed a stump over in the field, and when she walked up to it, there was a crack in it, a crack that started in the middle, and made its way to the edge. at the edge was a green crystal sticking out. Krysta pulled it out effortlessly. Once again, the position of the crystal could fool someone from a distance if they were inattentive. "Another Green Crystal... I think I can win this!" She was feeling confident now, and she was ready to search the rest of the field for all that could be concealed by the environment. She might just manage to achieve the highest score, or score higher than Dazia at the very least.

ID# 105493 BD: 6(Crystal found), CD: 8(Green Crystal)

The pink haired player turned to face the woman, and the words she spoke confirmed that there would be combat. Krysta waited to see what would happen, also considering whether or not she should intervene. The woman said, "Suit yourself." and took a defensive stance, ready to strike back if the player came close. "I'm ready." The woman waited to see what the player would do, whether she would back down, request that the fight take place outside, or come forward to fight here. Akudo seemed to be against the idea of indoor combat, and, honestly, Krysta was, too. There would be some destruction of objects in the area, not to mention, any others around might not be willing to witness a fight in this building. Krysta looked around her, and noticed that Azrea was pulling out her weapon. "Unless it is to intervene, I will not allow you to get involved." There was no need for unnecessary combat, so if there was going to be any more conflict, it would be so it would end quicker.

Vigilon made an offer to Krysta, one that was very sweet. "That's so kind of you, Alex, thank you. I can be content with it being evenly shared, so no need to worry about the amount."  Sunova wished Krysta and Vigilon luck on the scavenger hunt, and Vigilon made a suggestion as to how the two players could cover ground. "Sounds good to me." As Krysta left her current position to begin searching, she noticed someone else sign up for the scavenger hunt, someone who looked familiar. She didn't see the player's face at the time, but she couldn't confirm her own suspicions. It was when she received a message from her that she was able to recognize her. Krysta would send the following response,

Quote

To: @Dazia

Subject: Regarding the Competition(s)

You're on. Prepare to lose, murderer.

Krysta was unwilling to lose to Dazia. She was ready to start searching hard, now that she had more...motivation. She saw a sparkle in the distance, and when she walked over, there was a patch of grass in the field that was longer. When she rummaged through it, she spotted a green crystal there. Fairly clever place to hide it, where the colors would seem to be the same, making it easy to overlook. "It seems like I'm off to a good start!"

@Vigilon

ID# 105439 BD: 6(Crystal found), CD: 10(Green Crystal)

The conversation continued, and Sunova made a lovely compliment on Krysta's real name, and she proceeded to speak of her own real name, Sumiko, a Japanese name meaning "Clear Child". Vigilon agreed with Sunova's compliment, saying that he could never imagine a better name. "Aww, thank you, Alex..." He also noted that last time he checked, his own real name meant "Defender of The People", and that he found it interesting to uncover the meanings of names. The name Jewel was self-explanitory, for it meant "Precious Stone". Thus she became curious about why she was given this name... however, in this moment, that thought was beside the point, and it was time to move on in the conversation. Sunova mentioned that Vigilon saved her from a bunch of guys, possibly stalkers. To Krysta, this proved what Vigilon guessed was his name's meaning to be a coincidental match to his personality. Whenever he wasn't fighting to survive, he was fighting to protect, from what Krysta knew. She then looked over to where the other players were looking, to see Kanari dump ice water onto Sunova's friend Hazado, who picked Kanari up and ended up hurling her and himself off a cliff above the water. Vigilon asked Sunova if Hazado was the persistent type, saying that should it be true, that they would never hear the end of this. Vigilon's familiar was in sight now, and after the small white frost dragon gave him the "Feed me" look, Krysta's familiar, Yolviinsil, a small, ruby red feathered dragon, poked her head out from behind Krysta to look at her icy friend. Yolviinsil was often shy, so she had clung to the back of the dress Krysta was wearing this whole time. Krysta giggled, and spoke to her familiar. "No need to be shy, Yolviinsil. We're around some friendly faces at the moment." The conversation paused, since it would be moving to the picnic tables. When they got there, however, the hostess of the beach event got on top of a table to make an announcement regarding the competitions. Krysta was interested in the combat and scavenger hunt ones, so she walked over to the papers the hostess had placed, and signed up for the combat and scavenger hunt before returning to Sunova and Vigilon.

@Vigilon @Sunova

-Krysta signs up for the Combat and the Scavenger hunt. @Zandra

*raises hand* I would like to have one.

If you are still accepting players for this, I would like to join in. My character is only level 18, but she has some minor damage and rank 2 healing on her, so I think she can at least help with these quests.

Krysta looked over to see what was going on in the water, since Vigilon looked over to it to see his friend drag someone under, followed by Arabelle dragging the other under, and when they all resurfaced, they were all dragged under by the first to be pulled under. Vigilon explained his experience being one of those who Kanari had dragged under. It explained why Vigilon wasn't surprised with Kanari dragging the guy under. Sunova said that Krysta and Vigilon were cute together, and that Vigilon had a nickname for her...? "Oh, ahaha, actually, Jewel is my real name. We decided to call each other by our real names when we got into a relationship. Although, if it wasn't my name, it would truly be a nice nickname." Sunova said that she heard that Krysta was very romantic and that she respected that. What could have brought that to her- The note. Vigilon must have told Sunova about it. It would be the only explanation for this. Krysta blushed slightly upon the realization. Sunova seemed to be hyper at this time, for she was hopping up and down a bit over seeing Krysta and Vigilon together.

@Vigilon @Sunova

"Volleyball...I've never done it myself, but I've watched it once or twice. Of course, If I was to do it, I'd be on your team." Shortly after she said that, Vigilon's friend rushed by, heading straight for the water. To Krysta, Kanari seemed unbelievably reckless. Kanari dove into the water, splashing the two guys she dove in front of in the process. Krysta turned to see a white haired girl coming up to her and Vigilon. She introduced herself as Sunova, then asked Krysta about her name, hoping to guess it correctly. "Why, yes. I am Krysta. It's a pleasure to meet you, Sunova." Sunova seemed acquainted with Vigilon. Chances were, the two had spoken about Krysta. She turned to Vigilon. "So, Alex, now that we're here, what should we do first?" She was curious as to what Vigilon would think of doing first. There seemed to be plenty of people to talk to, and quite a few things to do.

@Vigilon @Sunova

Krysta was wondering what she would do for the day, when she received a message from Vigilon. She would send the following reply,

Quote

To: @Vigilon

That sounds lovely. I would be glad to go there, even if all we end up doing is strolling on the beach and watching the sunset...although, it would be nice to both enjoy the event and a sunset...

-Krysta

She then made sure she had the right attire for the occasion in her inventory. A modest white swimsuit, and a white dress with a floral pattern. She then traveled to the sixteenth floor(after spotting the notice on the bulletin board, of course), and she walked over to the beach where the event would be taking place after equipping the swimsuit and dress. She looked around, and saw only three players she knew, including Vigilon. Obviously, the first thing she would do would be to walk up to Vigilon and speak. "So, Alex, I read about the event on the bulletin boards. Have you figured out what competitions there will be?"

Appearance:

Quote

Krysta is wearing a modest white swimsuit, and over that, she is wearing a white dress with a floral pattern. It's not a fancy dress, it's actually casual, and quite fitting to the beach.

Krysta's thoughts drifted to her memory of that fateful day, when the game's creator revealed that this was no longer a game. Before she had holed up, there was a short period of time, starting from the announcement, and it lasted about three days before she hid herself in the Town of Beginnings for a long while...

"I...I can't believe this..." she thought. "I must be having a nightmare or something... Wake up, Jewel, wake up!" She pinched herself, she slapped herself in the face, but to no avail. She felt the pinch and the slap, but not the pain. "It...it can't be... Am...am I on my lonesome in this mysterious new world?" Nothing seemed to make sense at this moment, she wasn't taking the news too well. "Now I've lost all of my family...first the plague took Mother while she fought against it, it took Aunt Alison and Uncle Damien as well...on Father's side, my family spread out too far for frequent visits...now I've been separated from Father and Leif, and I'm trapped in this game..." She walked as she revealed this horrible truth to herself, and then she tripped over the legs of someone sitting down, for she was not paying enough attention to notice the player there. "Oof! Ahh, I'm so sorry!"

@Dustin

Krysta had trouble understanding the pink haired player's logic for having the least amount of players on the task that she was essentially dominating. She decided to speak up in favor of the one who had decided to begin this task in the first place. "The matter was first addressed by Vigilon. By all means, he should have a say in all of this, since he was the one who chose to act first." The woman who spoke to the pink haired player saw her hold a dagger to her neck; a false threat. It was obvious, seeing that no damage could be dealt in a safe zone, unless there was a duel. "Please." She rolled her eyes, and pulled out her own weapon, a two handed spear with a spearhead that shone like a crystal...wait, was the spearhead itself a crystalline material?? She pointed the weapon at the pink haired player. "Your false threat means nothing to me. Besides, in this game, I've been through worse, more intimidating foes than the demeanor you seem to portray. Let the other players go with you. If you don't agree, I will come along myself to assure that we work together as a group. You might learn something."

@Vigilon

Krysta smiled, and took a bow before leaving the stage once her audience finished applauding. She was happy to know that the other players enjoyed listening to her sing. As she made her way off the stage, she walked past Vigilon, saying, "Good luck, Alex." It was soon announced who would be singing next...Dazia was here. It wouldn't do to try settling the conflict here, as not only was there a ceasefire, but it would also reflect poorly on her in various ways. She wouldn't end this yet...but soon... Krysta decided to watch her sing, and was actually surprised. Dazia, as it turns out, sang pretty well, and the song she sang was not without feeling and meaning....but the question was, is Dazia truly trying to make her way into the light? Was she having doubts? Krysta might need to learn more about this Dazia, in case there was more to this than she thought... She looked up and saw that Yolviinsil had flown to the chandelier, looking down shyly towards the multitudes of players. Krysta giggled, and said, "Come on down now, Yolviinsil, I'm sure most of the players here are nice!" Yolviinsil hesitated, but she did fly down and land on Krysta's shoulder. She walked over to Tsu. "So...what did you think of the song I sang?"

@Vigilon @Froppy

Krysta still looked sternly at Venorim, even though he had essentially told her that he intended to play it fair from now on. Vigilon decided it was time to head out, but then the door was blocked by someone. This mysterious player took off her hood and bandanna before speaking, and what she said basically meant that she wanted to do it herself. Kanari and Azrea didn't seem to like this at all. Krysta had her own opinion on the matter. "How do we know we can trust you? Besides, I still wish to help." This was probably going to end up nowhere. From behind, a voice said, "Having trouble, are we?" Krysta turned around and saw a woman standing there. She walked over to the pink haired player. "Why do you deny their help? Do you see them only as obstacles towards your goal, or do you wish to prove how skilled and secretive you are by doing this on your lonesome?"

@Vigilon

Petastora:

Krysta heard someone else offer to join, and Venorim said that the player who had just offered to join wouldn't be going without him. Was this player a member of the Platinum Force? The player scoffed, and asked if Venorim was supposed to be her babysitter or something else of the like., and said she could handle herself. Vigilon recognized her, noting that she had changed her appearance somewhat, but not her personality. Kanari asked Vigilon who the two players were, and Vigilon answered the question, giving some information about the black haired player, Azrea, as well as info on Venorim. Krysta herself hadn't really heard much about this Victor Falcon person, but from what Krysta could tell, there were definitely chances that she might encounter him in this game at some point. Venorim gestured to Azrea as he spoke of his failure, and it seemed that Venorim was tasked with keeping an eye on Azrea...but why? Krysta feared she might find out soon enough, but wouldn't want to know it. She did have a few stern words for Venorim, however. "I do hope that you've learned to not be a dishonorable thief."

@Vigilon

Krysta listened to the conversation unfold. Vigilon mentioned Auranika, the player who was at the event Nova had set up, the one with a karaoke competition. The player who's arrival was announced, said to be the leader of a Guild known as the Angelic Brigade. Kanari asked Vigilon who Auranika was, and he revealed her real world identity. It seemed that Kanari might have not exactly had the best history with this young woman. Vigilon said that he had guessed it was Akudo who was the cloaked player that spoke to Auranika, but with the proof right in front of them, it was now likely that a shady player had spoken to the young woman, probably for some ill intent. Vigilon asked if Krysta was in on the task of helping. "I wouldn't stand idly by while some shady player gets what he wants! You can count on me to assist in this task!"

@Vigilon

Fae's attempt to brighten things up for Krysta were unsuccessful, for Krysta now distrusted Fae from what Vigilon had told her some time ago. It seemed that Kanari wasn't feeling any dread whatsoever. Krysta began to wonder how on earth Kanari was so spirited, no matter the situation. A player with an orange cursor came and spoke to them, saying that they were going to arrest Wyson without even asking for his side of the story. "Three things: One, we are hunting down a mass murderer who has killed twenty-seven players. Two, even if we did ask, he would probably lie to further his advantage, and I would rather not be two steps behind this fiend. Three, how could I fully trust someone I don't know who bears the mark of the murderer; the orange cursor above his head?" A buff looking male came near, assumed the three players he was looking at weren't very strong. Krysta, honestly, had already had a few...encounters with such people back in the real world. If they weren't trying to show off for her, they were trying to find other means, such as love letters, to try and draw her towards them...it happened so much that she began to avoid them as much as possible...so naturally, she'd prefer to avoid following what this one was asking. "I'd rather stay close to my boyfriend, thank you very much." She said to the buff player as she took hold of Vigilon's left hand, and would be staying close to him as long as the buff player was around. It seemed that, from what Fae was saying, Fae wanted to befriend the murderous fiend... Oh dear...

@Vigilon @Fae @Seul @Blood

Krysta had set out to seek out a mass murderer and bring him to justice...but the trip had a rather somber mood, and was filled with dread. Thundering clouds hung in the air, and bone-chilling winds blew. From the conversations Kanari and Vigilon were having, it seemed that Vigilon was feeling a sense of dread as well. It was nice to know that Krysta wasn't the only one feeling dreadful anticipation, but this was the first time she had seen Vigilon seemingly worried with a sense of dread. Thunder rumbled overhead. There would be no peaceful calm before the storm came, that was certain. Lessa said that it might rain soon, so they should see if they could accomplish their mission before then. Vigilon asked Krysta an unusual question. "I'm afraid not...it all seems so dark and dreadful...this all seems so dark...but...maybe the light will break through in the end, and we will bring Wyson to justice."

@Vigilon

Kanari had responded to Krysta's question completely in a casual way. What she said was, "Absolutely. I'm stubborn in the face of stupid...twenty-four seven." She didn't even seem remotely concerned at all, and she was completely blunt on her answer, too. "I...I don't get how...I..." Vigilon seemed relieved to know that Krysta wasn't completely bothered by how he had handled the situation he was in. It wasn't long before another player came up to the three players. He had red hair, a red scarf, and he seemed to know Vigilon and Kanari. From what she heard, the player's name was Akudo. Akudo asked for payment on intel, so he must have been some sort of hired informant. Vigilon realized something, and then seemed worried. "Is something wrong, Alex?" What could this be? Could it be something serious, or could it be something minor? Krysta waited to hear Vigilon speak again. He might speak of the new situation.

@Vigilon

Vigilon and Krysta were approached by Arabelle and Tsu. Arabelle suggested that Vigilon and Krysta sing a duet, a cute idea, but Vigilon seemed flustered, and even asked for his opinion. "Heehee, I actually think it would be a nice idea...I actually sang once, and he decided to join in." She was about to continue when Nova came and made the announcement that the Karaoke was about to start, and she called the players involved to the stage. She then announced who would be going first...and it was Krysta. Nova came to the players and wished them luck. Krysta breathed in, and breathed out. "I'll do my best..." She made a chuckle that trailed off after saying that. She managed to come up with a song that she had once heard. She had heard it various times, as her mother had sang it during Krysta's early childhood, and Krysta occasionally sang it herself from then on. She knew what she would sing. The Voice.

(OOC: This song should give away the singing style Krysta prefers. The voice singing the song is actually quite close to Krysta's.)

@Novafire @Vigilon @Spangie @Epsilon @Dazia @Pinball @Sharr @Froppy @Arabelle @Grimm

-Signed up for Lessa's team

Krysta was going about her usual business on the first floor, preparing to head out, and she was called to come to the Monument of Life. She came, all right, she just did so reluctantly. She listened to what was going on. Twenty-seven murders. Wyson. Laughing Coffin. That's all she had to hear, and her blood boiled with anguish. Justice had to be done! It must be done! She had no hesitation before she started moving towards Lessa, for Krysta would be joining her in the mission to seek out the foul fiend. Once she had reached the group, the first thing she did was walk up to Lessa. "Hello, I am Krysta. I am more than just willing to seek out this dastardly murderer and bring him to justice! I consider myself fairly good in terms of potential damage and healing, so I should be capable enough for the task." She then turned around to see her teammates. Vigilon, Hestia, a brown haired player...and two others she wasn't exactly excited to see. One of them, she used to trust, the other, she had distrusted for quite a while. She tried to focus on the positives first. "Hello again, Alex! So we'll be working together on this task. How wonderful!" She then turned towards Hestia. "Hello again, Hestia! It's nice to see you again!" She then turned towards the brown haired player. "Hello, I am Krysta. Nice to meet you!" After she had finished the introduction...then came the hesitation to continue speaking with each teammate. She slowly turned towards Fae, her smile fading. In a softer voice, she said, "Fae...I used to trust you...Vigilon told me all that he knew." As for the last teammate, she didn't exactly have any need to be soft in her voice... "You know, I am truly curious as to why a miscreant such as yourself would be willing to bring someone to justice, Outlander..." The player just so happened  to have spoken a threat to Vigilon, as well as some rude words and behavior. "You don't ever think before you speak, do you?" She said to Outlander as she crossed her arms.

@Lessa @Vigilon @Hestia @Baldur @Fae @Outlander

Current Stats:

Kanari's response to Krysta's question left her worried. "Moral compass...let's...hope that works out..." Kanari continued, and it really caused Krysta to be worried. This player seemed very distrusting of authority, whether they were just or not. " 'Easily become corrupt'? 'Meaningless drudgery'?? 'A big mistake'??? Just...just how reckless are you???" Krysta was full of disbelief on how reckless this player seemed. Vigilon then spoke to Krysta about something he had been needing to tell her. He spoke of a meet-up with villainous players, and how he intended to gather information in guise as one of their sort. A clever method that Krysta not only didn't think could be a possible solution, but wouldn't have the courage to do so herself. She couldn't even act close to their sort, so she wouldn't have been up for the task either way. She would have been one of the party crashers instead. He also shared what he knew of this dastardly bunch, and the members he'd seen, including... "W-what!?!?" She couldn't believe it. She had seen Fae at two events, and both times she had seemed like the sweet, innocent child... Was it all merely a ploy? Or did she snap under the game's pressure and influence? Vigilon was hoping Krysta wouldn't be upset with him. "Alex...you had the acting, the disguise, the purpose, and the courage to do that for the greater good. I might have had other methods of handling the situation, but what matters is that you did it for the greater good, and that you were honest about it."

@Vigilon

Amelia reintroduced herself as Kanari Kakaze, "Freedom Typhoon". She and Vigilon then discussed the whole title thing for a bit. There was only one thing that confused Krysta, however. "Um...exempt? As in, free from all obligations and just law? Isn't lawless behavior something that we don't practice, especially in this game or the real world?" Vigilon explained his reason for the potion. Apparently he was "Finding himself", trying to figure out several things, some were...actually a bit obvious, although it may have just been him trying to dig deeper into that, which Krysta could understand. One thing was a complete riddle. "Go find the Dragon." "The Dragon? Well, I don't know of any non-familiar dragons that are benevolent, but should they exist, could one of them be your next hint, riddle or the like? Hopefully the answers you seek!" Maybe they should speak with Mitria. She might know of a benevolent dragon somewhere.

@Vigilon
