Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) tossing away another rock the boy climbed further up the hill, this was his first time gathering materials on his own and he was worried about mobs originally but it seemed as though they were mostly ignoring his presence or he had just been too far away for them to notice him. it helped that he was searching by the mountains, he found that keeping his searching radius confined around it he would rarely stumble into enemies if any at all. kicking over a rock he picked it up hoping it to be of some use.

Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 Author #2 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Letting out a frustrated sigh he dropped the rock and continued searching. 'Hunting for treasure are we?' "Oh my god!, will you just let me do this in peace?" he pleaded the voice as he pushed a good sized rock aside. 'jeez, I'm just saying hi...' "then say hi, don't pile onto the same crap you've used over and over again to insult my pride" he snarled clearly amused. This voice, or whatever it was that was inside the boy's head was a burden he couldn't have bothering him...despite the fact it may have saved his life once or twice. ID# 40504 results: Battle: 9 Craft: 9 Loot: 15(Success!) MOB: 9 Finding a nice ore the boy quickly added it to his inventory and continued to a different area 'would you look at that?, I'm even good luck' the voice stated in a horrible Irish impersonation, wincing at the words he shuddered. "Your some kind of luck..." Takneil muttered under his breath. Material Total: 1 Edited November 28, 2015 by Takneil Link to post Share on other sites
Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) 'So what are you doing out here anyway my dear Takkun?' letting out a sigh the boy climbed down the hill carefully as not to fall. "I accepted a request for Material gathering" he informed the voice. 'Ooh that aught to pay good' "I'm doing this for free" while he shouldn't have done so for his own sake, he was risking his own life by obtaining the items he should at least get something in return...at least that's what he should be thinking due to the circumstances, but because you were in a death game it doesn't mean you get the right to lose your humanity. 'really?, free?. Bless your kind heart, would you please also donate to the Takneil Cares only to Die Foundation?' it chastised him. shaking his head in annoyance Takneil stood on a ledge, spotting something to his right he reached for it. "You can go find a spot where the light down shine, and when you do remind me to shut you in this time" ID# 40506 results: Battle: 3 Craft: 2 Loot: 20(Success!) MOB: 8 grasping the object Takneil pulled it out, the edges shinning bright and reflecting the light, it's shape was weird as if some sort of key?. Deciding to shimmy around the edge fully he took a deep breath and began the risk. Material Total: 2 Edited November 28, 2015 by Takneil Link to post Share on other sites
Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) 'Ouch!, but Takkun...I thought me and you were friends?' the voice cried out as if hurt by Takneil's previous comment. "NO!, I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND!. YOU DON'T EVEN EXIST!" he roared out in anger his voice echoing in the chasm below him. a low rumble shook across the mountain causing rocks to fall from all places, realizing what he had done the boy's heart began to race in fear. 'Oh I see how it is, You nearly die from a Wolf and when I come to your rescue you haven't done a single thing to show me appreciation' "we need to go..." 'damn right!, I'll catch you later punk' "No I mean we need to go!" he yelled in a panic, turning to risk running across the edge his eye widened in horror as a boulder cascaded down from above. 'No time to run' looking down the boy's breathing became short as he debated his odds. 'JUMP!' listening to the voice Takneil leaped from the edge. Screaming in terror he fell, hearing a loud crash he could only assume the boulder had shattered the edge he had been standing on previously. What was he going to do? he couldn't grab onto the wall at this point it would tear his hand into pieces. Thought and memories blurred together as he descended to what would most certainly be his death. 'What am I going to do?' his last sane thoughts echoed in his mind as the world faded into black.

Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) "No, what am I going to do with you?!" the voice shouted out, seriously? what was he going to do?. no wonder he had been created this boy couldn't survive on his own without him. Groaning in the freefall, The Other examined the wall in front of him. "Maybe..." drawing the Stinger Blade he smirked as he felt it's power course through him, if he got this wrong him and Takkun would be dead. looking down he shifted his body in air preparing to do the only logical thing he could. "NOW!" allowing the sword art system to take over the blade glowed a dull black, with the power fully charged it pushed him forward driving the sword into the wall. grasping onto the weapon he let out a sigh of relief as he dangled only a couple feet from the bottom. ID# 40511 results: Battle: 5 Craft: 8 Loot: 16(Success!) MOB: 9 Brushing off the coat The Other sheathed the Stinger Blade. "Jeez, now what am I going to do?" taking a step he raised an arched brow as he felt something poked against his boot. "Hmm? what's this?" picking up the item he smirked as he swiped open the menu. "I think Takkun will like me a bit more if I do his job for him" he slyly smirked as he moved on through the narrow chasm.

Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Bringing a balled fist up to his head The Other knocked against the side of his head. "Oi, Taki? you in there?" waiting a few moment he groaned and kicked a few rocks out of the way, it seemed the boy was still out cold. "if you can hear me that boulder that almost crushed us?, yeah well the damn thing is blocking the way of one way so we're...I'm forced to go the other way" swiping through the different tabs on the menu he halted at the map and zoomed in. "the path we have open to us is narrow and seems to lead the opposite direction of where we were originally going" he explained just in case his pal was conscious in some way. "Well time to move ahead..." he stated, moving along the path. ID# 40520 results: Battle: 9 Craft: 1 Loot: 3(Failure!) MOB: 1 Edited November 28, 2015 by Takneil Link to post Share on other sites
Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) "just me, Myself, and my apparently dangerous echo" rubbing his hand against the wall as he walked casually the boy kept a keen eye on what could make out to be useful Materials, a few rocks, a half broken tree branch, and a weird gecko later he had still come up with nothing. groaning in frustration he tossed the tiny animal to the side. "No wonder he's always so ticked off, if I has to do this for other people I would feel as though I was I wanted to shoot myself" looking up his expression softened in something that could resemble envy. "If I could that is" focusing back to the matter at hand he scanned the ground. ID# 40521 results: Battle: 4 Craft: 6 Loot: 14(Failure!)

Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) How long was this chasm?, the map had shown that it cut off but at the moment he couldn't see any cave system mapped out on it and he was starting to feel worried. He was wandering around in darkness the ceiling once open shut off around where the map had been cutoff, drawing Stinger Edge he gulped nervously as he did his best to find any sort of light. ID# 40546 results: Battle: 6 Craft: 1 Loot: 15(Success!) MOB: 3 "What the heck is that?" he mused aloud. an ominous glow emanated from deeper within the cave, the glow shifted and moved. it was faint but it seemed as if it was reflecting something. "Surface!" he cheered, he had found a way out of the cave. sprinting towards the glow he hesitated before the opening. "what if there's a mob?..., I'll run.Make a beeline straight for the exit" tightening his grasp around the hilt he peeked around the corner. "Woah!..." standing in the middle of a gemstone cave The Other gaped in amazement, it seemed as if every color of the rainbow was within the cave's walls and even a few natural spikes of the stuff sprouting from the ground and ceiling. "Takkun will be sooooo happy!" he had found a spot that may be a fortune worth of Material's, this spot could last him a long time. Feeling comfortable with a small hole allowing light to protrude through he had no doubt he would be able to wriggle his way out of it. "Whelp, time to get started" he said with a smile as he hacked off a piece of the gem adding to his inventory. Material Total:4 Edited November 28, 2015 by Takneil Link to post Share on other sites
Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Thank heavens there hadn't been a mob or worse, a boss. Of course he would fight to live but he didn't have that much skill using a sword,yet. He was intelligent, he was cunning, he was many things but when Takneil wasn't conscious he had no access to any actual style of fighting beyond what sword arts offered. sighing he chopped away. "I hope Takkun hurries up wakes up, if he dies it's gonna be his fault not mine" ID# 40549 results: Battle: 10 Craft: 4 Loot: 20(Success!) MOB: 1 another piece falling to the ground The Other picked it up, while it wasn't the most exciting process it definitely got the job done. smiling as it got placed in the inventory he chuckled. plus the feeling of successfully obtaining high quality Materials was a nice one, especially since Takkun will be happy.

Takneil 0 Posted November 28, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Grunting as he heaved away a giant chunk of stone he mused about what Takneil would do once he awoke. "Maybe he'll scream thinking he was still falling, or maybe he'll have heard what has been going on this entire time and praise me" hesitating a moment The Other shook his head, why was he hopping to gain acknowledgment from this boy?. Yeah there was the slight chance he would allow him to have control more often, but what was there to gain from it?. ID# 40552 results: Battle: 2 Craft: 10 Loot: 10(Failure!) MOB: 4 Shrugging he went back to slamming the blade into the gemstone, soon the job would be finished and he could return back to the city.

Takneil 0 Posted November 29, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Stabbing the sword into the ground he took a deep breath and sat down,leaning his back against the wall. despite the hole there was a thin amount of air within the cave. He was sure if he told the boy he would want to immediately want to share the find with his friends but this place couldn't sustain more than two small people at most as it could barely sustain him. "Don't want that armored twit going after my find" he scoffed at the mention of the high level player. why was Takneil so stuck on him? granted it was a good strategy for surviving but he had been relying on him too much even from a cripple's point of view. Slamming his fist into the wall he grinded his teeth together in frustration. ID# 40553 results: Battle: 5 Craft: 1 Loot: 19(Successful) MOB: 10 Feeling something wedge itself against his hand The Other let out a yelp of pain, A cluster of different color stones had been clustered together and appeared to have fallen from a higher point. biting down on his tongue he quickly grabbed it with his free hand and added it to his inventory. "Ow...ow..." he mumbled his anger now replaced with pain. "Damn, stupid rock. You're lucky you were useful" Material Total:6 Edited November 29, 2015 by Takneil Link to post Share on other sites

Takneil stated groggily as he woke, what had happened he had jumped out of the way of the boulder then...nothing?. placing a hand on his head he slowly shook his head and opened his eyes. "Whoa...where am I?" he asked. gazing in wonder at the beautiful spectacle in front of him he noticed his menu was open. 'OH NO!, did I get forced into a PvP?!' looking around for any signs he sighed in relief. "then why is...I HAVE 6 MATERIALS?!" what had happened when he passed out. seeing a light he walked towards it to get out of where ever he was. Kicking a gem on the ground he smirked and picked it up. "Well what ever happened, my job is done" he stated happily as he made his way through the hole, making a mental note to mark the area on his map.

Takneil 0 Posted November 29, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) brushing the dirt off of his jacket Takneil took a breath of the fresh air, it seemed to be very thin down there and hard to breathe in the first. as if somebody had been working down there for a long time. Swiping open his menu he added the item to his inventory and quickly went to his screens map to mark the location, the hole was small but one could easily slide down it...but just in case. ID# 40560 results: Battle: 10 Craft: 4 Loot: 10(Failure!) MOB: 1 Rolling over a big rock the boy covered the hole, it seemed like the perfect place to go get Materials and he didn't want to have random player's profiting from it. It was selfish but of course he would share with his friends, plus most of the Materials would be going to other players. Edited November 29, 2015 by Takneil Link to post Share on other sites

"Oh now you decide to say something?, where have you've been when I was knocked out?" he snarled at the other, couldn't he just have more than five minutes without him disturbing a peaceful moment?. grumbling some rather profound curses Takneil decided it would be best for him to return to the city to rest up. 'What have I been doing?!' he yelled 'I saved your sorry behind when you passed out mid-freefall back there!' Rolling his eyes the boy started walking.

I made my way into that cave in total darkness, and I even gathered the materials you have in your inventory!' hesitating for a moment Takneil looked down to the ground in embarrassment, did...he really do all of that?. If so then he was being cruel to him, letting out a sigh he continued forward. "I'm sorry..." ID# 40563 results: Battle: 4 Craft: 11 Loot: 8(Failure!)

You never stopped it until we had two hp, two!, that's not being a savior, that's being a psycho!" he snapped, he was sick of it. Here he was all this time feeling guilty for not paying back the voice for saving him yet no actual attempt to save him was made.

Takneil 0 Posted November 29, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) After the outburst the two walked in utter silence, not one speaking a word to the other. Had Takneil been to harsh on the other, it wasn't like it was a friend but it was something he had to deal with everyday of his life. he had tried to say many things but all attempts wound up in failure as the words just wouldn't form, every now and then he would stop to see if he had stumbled upon something but it would either be a rock or some sort of branch. both useless for materials though he had picked up a nice ore, not the best but suitable enough. It would be a while before Takneil would trust the voice outside of dire situations, he knew it would suggest the best course of action if both lives where threatened but if it meant him coming into control he would deceive him like many other times before.

'look, I have no right to ask you for forgiveness but what I did...that can't be denied' letting out a huff of air he shook his head. "I was frustrated okay?, this isn't something we should talk about right now...as far as I'm concerned we're still on the clock and need to return before our deadlines up". feeling a pinch of guilt for the statement he sighed.

"Not now, I said not now..., you can tell me all about it when we get to the Inn but right now?. I have the worst headache of all time and I would like some peace to rid myself of it before talking to you." something similar to a child's scoff Takneil could feel the other fade away into his subconscious, finally leaving him be.

You go out for materials...you come back with materials. that should be it, not finding out your darkest self is really a softy. running a hand over his face he leaned back, maybe he should take this up with Calrex...and soon. the boy wasn't a fool, he knew they had different issues but they were similar and it seemed the best way to deal with the other was the same way the man dealt with his own. sighing he stood, he needed to finish up his current job before he could do any of that.
