Astreya

Post Action - AoE-I vs Moss Wolves (11+8-2 = 17 Energy) ------- Astreya mostly figured the money would come from the government, as opposed to the company itself, but splitting hairs over it wasn't really the best use of time- and beyond that, there was still a great deal of fun for the two to have here. This was meant to be a relaxing day to just sort of explore the gardens themselves. The problem was, of course, that it seemed the two had fundamentally differing opinions on the very end of the game. Not that it was a bad thing, and Astreya didn't really mind discussing it furt

Thread Closure! All 3200 Col goes to Koga for throwing this superfun party \o/ @NIGHT@Koga@Gaius@Jomei@Hirru@Astralin@Kasumi@Lessa@Blueberry@Jevi@Nari-Lanreth@Oji@Yona@Melodie le Breton@kali@Mina@Lishuu

The conversation with Astralin and Morningstar had been nice and relaxing, and Astreya had been enjoying herself, but amidst the chatting (and admittedly it was certainly nearing its end) Baldur suddenly called out, the host of this whole get together, tournament and all, and had began to announce his own words to everyone present, showing a genuine appreciation for their attendance, and their willingness to join him in this series of firsts. First Valentine's Day Tournament, first sleepover, and so forth, and Astreya couldn't help but to smile up at the fellow amused at his words and excited

Post Action: Foraging ID: 206925 LD: 14 (Critical Success! +9 EXP | +2 Materials | 1 Material from NT Bonus!) CD: 5 ----------- Astreya could feel the same familiar words coming to her lips, but she... didn't really want to speak them. There was so much that she had boiling up inside of her regarding their current predicament and Nari had scratched the surface before- despite the girl's persistence (intentional or not) Astreya had no interest in speaking her thoughts on the matter. "C'mon, we totally already like, put this talk to rest," the girl spoke, giving a small grin over to

Post Action: Foraging Roll ID: 206923 LD: 6 (Fail! +3 Foraging EXP) ----------- "Really? You totally get to meet so many more people! It's like, super awesome! I mean there are like cliques and that sorta thing and that like, I guess that part's not as fun, but usually most people are pretty open to having some fun and making friends," the girl beamed. "I didn't really do a lot with people, like, growing up. Was kind of a homebody so it was nice to get to like, totally spread my wings a bit, y'know?" she spoke. Despite the fact that she seemed the social butterfly now and tha

As the pink-haired woman began to speak, Astreya blinked, giving a small nod. The confidence of the team was led by the tank, or at the very least, by the weakest link. It was hard to say really which one the woman had meant by that. As Yuki continued, comparing it to the blade of a sword, she blinked, tilting her head a little bit to the side. That...made a weird amount of sense. She had been considering her own thought to the response, in likening it to her volleyball or cheer leading teams she often spoke of, but before she could, Nari spoke up then, adding to the metaphor about the sw

At Star's response of putting on his big girl pants, Astreya couldn't help but to snort with laughter in response, the idea, but as he brought up Jomei, Astreya's eyes widened slightly in response, quite literally about to ask why before he'd cut off that avenue. "Okay, but, you can't pick Jomei. He's like, a totally a really nice guy, but I'm pretty sure that like..." she began, when flashes of the Christmas Party where Nari had all-but shouted (okay, she had shouted it) that Koga and Kasumi had some mutual attraction, and while she liked Morningstar so far, she didn't know how much she cou

Post Action: Foraging Roll ID: 206920 LD: 4 (Fail! +3 Foraging EXP) ----------- The words from her friend caused the young woman to smile. It had almost seemed like it'd meant to be a secret for just the two of them (or maybe just for Nari herself) but the gentle quietness of the garden they were in had given far more volume to the words than Nari had intended. But she hadn't really pushed it- figuring that if Nari wanted to give more life to that conversation that would be on her- Astreya wouldn't force that at all. But then came the unexpected- an offer to stay at the

Post Action: ST-I vs Terra Firma | ST Shift Active | 12-2+2 = 12 Energy Cost Astreya had been wandering about with the others in the deep sands, her hand up over her shoulder to hold onto the heavy blade that rested upon her back. But she hadn't really planned on anything happening, at least not at first. t hadn't been until the ground itself began to shift slightly that she had even really paid attention- she hadn't realized just how close they were to the beast's lair. But the creature hauled up out of the ground, looking more than a little angry at the intruders to its home, and i

The words that followed her question from Nari felt fake. They were enough to look fake, despite the fact that there was no physical manifestation of them, but the hesitation between "it's" and "nothing" was more information than she likely had meant to reveal with that. The following sentence wasn't much better. Clarifying, but also in a way that simply just completely invalidated what it was that she was saying. Seven words that carried an incredible amount of weight, and the dark-haired woman could feel the energy from them, like a volatile grenade that would explode at the slightest pr

Astreya had been waving at the retreating figure, content to just let them fade away back into the distance. Whoever they might've been, Astreya had absolutely no reason to doubt their intentions after the figure had come to their aid with absolutely no reason to do so... aside from the fact that the monster had interrupted their ice skating. However, a shout from Nari caused the young woman to blink, and she turned, glancing toward her friend with a look of slight confusion on her face. NIGHT? That was... familliar. It wasn't until she glanced at Koga too that it clicked- he'd been t

The strike from Astreya had been enough to send it reeling a little bit, and the girl had been panting, despite the cold atmosphere around her she could feel herself as being very warm at the moment. Either the adrenaline of toppling such a big foe as a team, or maybe it was simply the fact that she'd been able to ask for help and receive it in this light- that people were willing to help her? She didn't know, but she could feel her own excitement hammering in her heart at the moment. Nari shot forward, the spear striking their foe and calling for Koga to finish it- and finish it the ma

Astreya looked on at Yuki as the woman spoke up regarding her own thoughts on the matter. It was...a weird viewpoint, to Astreya. Of course, the girl wasn't a gamer- she didn't really have that same background when it came to others in the same boat. To her, it was a much more physical, and real activity, so the idea of having confidence in the 'numbers' she had was a hard pill for her to swallow. Even against lower level enemies, she still sometimes flinched when an attack came her way, even if it wouldn't do more than one or two damage to her, just because she could see it coming. "Okay

Astreya had been considering the question a bit. Who would she date if she was given the opportunity to? Despite her time here, she hadn't made a really strong connection with a lot of people. Astralin was someone she'd met several times and each time she found herself liking the girl more and more, and Nari was another, although Nari had something going on under the hood that Astreya hadn't quite yet figured out. She needed more time to talk with her to figure out just what that was. The question about movies, and then Astreya's off-handed commentary afterward seemed to strike a litt

Post Action: AoE-I vs Lapis Assassins | 11+(2*4)-2 = 17 EN Cost ---- The young woman held her blade at the ready as she looked on against the others, having not fought alongside Freyd in this... new guise of his before, and beyond that, she had never done so with Dustin, either. There was a lot of uncertainty here- how would they be best to fight and to ally one another to cover one another's weaknesses? That was the big worry- although she wasn't overly concerned about Freyd's survival- she'd seen the man fight before and (the minotaur aside) he had been incredibly potent in eve

Post Action: Foraging Roll ID: 206419 LD: 9 (Fail! +3 Foraging EXP) --------- The young woman gave a small nod toward Nari, even as she stretched her arms up overhead. "Well, like sure. But we're also been trapped in her for like ever, right? I think that like... in a game, you'd normally like, not quite make the same connections, like you were saying, y'know? Cause like, normally, the game could end at any point or like, whatever. Or you or they could like, lose interest in the game itself. But like, when it comes down to it here, we're like totally stuck here for who anot

Astreya couldn't help but to give a genuine giggle of glee as the little creature wormed its way forward so she could pick it up, and the dark-haired young woman cradled it almost like a baby, cooing at it and petting the little creature as she moved, staying well within sight of Oji. She knew at least that the creature was his- she didn't want it thinking that she was taking it away, or honestly, for Oji to feel the same. But Nari then called her out and the woman blinked, turning to look at her friend, sticking out her tongue. "C'mon! Like, Frosty would get so totally jealous if I

She exhaled slowly as she shook out her arm, pausing to hold her weapon with the opposing hand befor

Post Action: Foraging ID: 205514 LD: 14 (Critical Success! +9 EXP | +2 Materials | 1 Material from NT Bonus!) CD: 7 --- Enjoyable, huh? Astreya gave a small breath of a laugh at that, even if she didn't vocalize the thought. She still wasn't really sure about that. She didn't really enjoy 'gaming' and while this would be something she'd maybe log in and play for an hour, maybe two... it wasn't really her bag. Sure, it was pretty and the action was okay, but she enjoyed the team sports aspect of what she'd done in her real life- although she supposed maybe she might f

Astreya gave a small smile toward Jomei, pleased that he had accepted it. She did recall that he'd said she didn't need to repay him in any way, and their somewhat emotional ending of letting him actually get to play some music again with someone, even if it wasn't necessarily the most treasured song to him... was still a gift on its own. But when she'd been possessed with the inspiration to do it, and so when she'd completed it, the very first thought she'd had was that she had to give it to Jomei as thanks. Even if he never got the chance to really listen to it or use it... she still want

Nari and I like, totally will keep all the single-target junk on us!" the girl cheered, glancing back at Koga with a small nod and a grin before they'd taken off and she'd called to the figure skater. -- Astreya had frowned as she'd gotten closer to the player on the ice, having tried to get them to scurry away, to find somewhere to go to abate

Post Action: Foraging Roll ID: 205499 LD: 11 (NT success! +1 Material! | Foraging Fail! +4 Exp!) CD: N/A --- "Good, it's like, totally a promise," the woman spoke, beaming a sunny smile toward her friend. At her words however, Astreya couldn't help but to give a small grin toward the woman, arching a brow. "So uh... who's Onóra?" she asked, raising her eyebrows in a teasing manner, excited to see what the violet woman had to say on the subject. This was almost certainly one of the people that she'd been talking about. Those that she didn't want to have left behind if she we

The girl looked from Nari to Freyd and then back to Nari again, blinking as if she were steadily and slowly processing the information. "Wait, really?" she asked after a few seconds of thought. Sometimes Astreya played up the fool for ease of conversation, but this was one of the times where her lack of knowledge when it came to games and other fantasy things was certainly causing her issue, right now. As someone who liked people, studied people and enjoyed picking them apart, the further detached something got from the reality that she was used to, the harder time she had actually understa

Astreya couldn't help but to smile at the girl's defiance in the face of the scolding. "Okay, but like, after we do this, can you like totally do me a favor and get some rest? It'll like, totally be good for you," she continued, giving the girl a small smile, taking a small step back so as to not crowd her. She still felt that the girl should probably get some more rest and just to take some time for herself...but Astreya didn't want to keep nannying her- she was pretty sure Nari was older than she was anyway. The young woman glanced from Nari's instructions to the other two, curious i
