[PP-F2] life in a nutshell <<Long live the queen>>(macradon)(complete)

[Nixon 0]

Once again Nixon finds himself on floor 2 "I wonder what it means to truly live. what is life and how does one accomplish the act of living it? How does one get to a point where you believe you are ready to die?" Nixon says to no one in particular as he sit back down on the bench "So many people, so many lives, so many deaths. What is to become of this game, should it be completed? They say it will free you, but how does one know if they are truly freed? If I, Right now, was released from this game, how would that affect my life? I believe that it would put me in a bigger prison as i would have to try to determine the difference between SAO and reality. Alas this is all food for thought"

Macradon would go on a patrol to look at the 2nd floor, trying to see if he could spot anything that would be in any advantage to the guild. Macradon was wearing his field outfit, fully clad in his Knights of the Blood Oath uniform. His sallet, half plate, poleyn and vambraces, all in the guild's color scheme. Macradon would walk the paths of the main road on the 2nd floor, still relaxing his body, but holding posture to make a good look out of the guild. With his stern looking body, the crusader walked the long path of solitude ... that is for now. After a while on finding nothing, Macradon chose to return to the settlement and take a break from field work and get back to the town, maybe finding a place to sit and relax an hour or two.

Nixon still sitting on the bench resites some of his poetry "

IN A LAND OF SORROW,
A CAPITAL OF MISERY, 
A PALACE OF LONELINESS,
THE STARLESS SKY LOOKS DOWN ON ME AND SAYS 
"This was all your fault."

MY MIND REWINDS, 
AND BACK I GO AS I RECALL THE SIGHT
TO THAT MOURNFUL DAY
TO THAT FATEFUL HOUR
TO THE MINUTE YOU GAVE UP.
YOU LEFT ME HERE ALONE.

SO NOW I SIT IN SILENT REMORSE ASKING THE SKY
"Could I have changed it? 
If I had been there, would you still be with me? 
Could I have fixed the future?"

THE MORE I THINK, THE WORSE I FEEL
AND THE MORE I WANT TO JOIN YOU."

he waits a moment "Oh how light dwindles and stars fade, how can i, now as i am, accomplish life?"

Macradon heard something not far from where he stood. A voice talking, no, not just talking, either speaking in poetry or reciting some poetry. Macradon would see out the source as he hadn't met someone sounding like that for a while, maybe it was someone he knew. He would get closer, following the direction of the voice. It wouldn't take too long before he arrived at the voice, the source was an unknown person Macradon haven't met before, he didn't look like anyone up in the higher floors, so it might be a lower leveled player. Macradon would greet the person "Hello" he said "I couldn't ignore the poetry flying out of your mouth" he said with a smile. "You're in grief or something?" he would ask.

"No, I cant say I am anymore" Nixon smiles as he gets up "I was reciting my poetry of old, back before this game. I havent seen armour like that before. You must be a higher level player. A... Guild member maybe" Nixon says examining the symbols on the armour "What i wouldnt do for armour like that! Anyways my name is Nixon, but you can call me Nix" He smiles and reaches his hand out to the man. "And who might you be?" Nixon pauses and then says in a Shakespearean manor "how is 't that people as high level as thyself beest so common on these floors? tis as if, 't be true, thee wanteth to holp people without equivalency in exchange for thy kindness."

Macradon smiled "Well that's great" he said. Macradon would bow slightly by the compliment "Thank you a lot, I'm in the strike force of the Knights of the Blood Oath" he said with a proud smile. He would take up the visor of his sallet helmet to get a better view and also so the man would be able to look at Macradon properly. Macradon would thank for the compliment of his armor "My name's Macradon, from the Knights of Blood Oath" he said with a big smile and would give a strong hand shake back to the man. Macradon had t ostand a few seconds before he would be able to respond to the last sentence the boy came with. "Uhm ..." he started to think through, he would flatten his left hand and set the right on top as he got the sentence he had to response with through. "Quite easy to answ'r thy questioneth, actually. Though I may only talketh on mine owneth behalf. I was lacking helpeth on the high'r flo'rs and did not liketh the humour, so I want'd to helpeth those on the low'r levels so they didn't needeth to exp'rience what i've been through" he said with the most dialect he could muster.

Nixon chuckles and smiles at the man "It is good to hear a fellow patron of the arts. So you said you were here to help low level players advance, eh? well, if you are willing of course, I could use some help on a quest. The quest is Long live the queen and I'm sure i cannot beat it myself. I'm sure you have done it before but would you be willing to help me?" He pauses for a second "Of course if you are busy, I understand. However thou cans't beginneth to advance without holp so what beest t, Macradon? What is t that thee would like to doth? Lend a hand to one another
In the daily toil of life;
When we meet a weaker brother,
Let us help him in the strife.
There is none so rich but may, 
In his turn, be forced to borrow;
And the poor man's lot to-day
May become our own to-morrow."

Macradon chuckled lightly 'patron of the arts'. Macradon was no one that was elaborate enough to even try out poetry, he had only witnessed others try that. The closest he could come to poetry was olde english which he had been taking a glance at once. "Long live the queen ... Yeah I've done it before" he said "But I fear the mobs might be too weak for me to help out efficiently" he said. It was true that he was high leveled, but maybe too high leveled. "Well, if you're in for it. I am not busy at all" he said with a smile at the man.

"You sure your okay with partnering with someone from a different guild, one still forming in fact. We plan to call ourselves The Lucifer Effect. the goal being that we kill player killers." he looks up with a slightly evil grin, which quickly changes to a warm smile. "I'll let you think about that for a little while. If you do decide to join me, i will be taking on the quest 'Long Live the Queen'" He starts to walk off "I going to go get a drink, if you are still here when i get back I'll know you are willing to come."

Macradon would look confused at the man, really confused "Why should I not cooperate with another guild? Are we enemies or something?" he asked with a confused face. Why shouldn't guild cooperate, just like the Crimson Blades and Knights of the Blood that had joined forces. The Velvet room and the Azure brigade. Macradon would chuckle, but tried to hide it. "Good luck getting the player killers down ... They're stronger than you would imagine and I would most likely not want to face them" he said "They're on the frontlines you know" he said. Macradon would think about the quest he mentioned, Macradon had already done it, but sure, why not help someone in need. "You don't really have to wait for me, but if you're in for a drink I'll join you" he said.

"I was just checking" Nixon chuckles back "Well let grab a drink and start the quest shall we?" They walk to the bar "Strongest whisky you got, on the rocks please! And whatever my friend here wants" Nixon points over to Macradon. as the drinks come Nixon takes a sip and thinks to himself "You know? for simulated alcohol, It is really good!" He takes another sip and say to Macradon "So, if you would be so kind, what do you know about this quest? As you know, the information brokers only tell you so much. I assume you have done this quest before be it that you are such a high level, you must know at least where we need to start."

[Macradon 0]

Macradon would follow Nixon to the bar to get something to drink. Nixon here wanted the strongest whiskey on rocks they had. Macradon would go the easy route and get a ginger ale as he wasn't a person who liked alcholic beverages that much. "I haven't tried much alcohol in the game, so I wouldn't know about that simulation" he said. "Yeah, I know a bit more than the brokers because I've done the quest, but it's pretty simple. Inside the dense forest is a lot of giant killer wasps. In the midst of those a bigger giant queen is roaming around, that's the target for the quest" he said.

[Nixon 0]

"Well then" Nixon says before shooting back the drink "Let get going!" The two get up and travel to the dense forest. the breeze blowing, the tops of the trees swaying, and an ominous feeling coming from the forest. But Nixon chuckles at the feeling as they enter Nixon stops and whispers to Macradon, "there are a couple wasps" Nixon equips his whip, and readies himself for action. "I'll attack after you alright? lets go!" The three wasps roam around inconspicuously and Nixon thinks to himself "God i hate bugs! Lets get this quest over with!"

Macradon would go with Nixon, leading the way as Macradon knew the way as he had done the quest before. Just like last time he did the quest, a lot of wasps were covering the dense forest. Macradon would prepare himself and would go straight into the battle and go for the biggest one and get that one down before it would be anything that would worry Nixon. He would charge in with his charge skill, moving in an extreme fast pace forward, with his <Concentration> skill he would be able to make sure he did hit the target. Macradon flew forward and would quickly get into stance to activate his sword art <Astral Hell>. 7 quick sweeps with his big greatsword would cleave down the wasp with ease. Macradon would swing his sword from left to right and have it resting on the ground after he had slain the wasp, awaiting the aggro from the others and for Nixon to engage in combat.

Nixon watches in awe as Macradon destroys the toughest wasp in a single hit "That.... That was amazing!" He thought to himself "God, i hope i dont make a fool of myself in front of him... Oh what am i thinking, of course i will make a fool of myself, its in my nature."  Nixon jumps into the fight prepairing his <<Crack of Dawn>> Sword art. as he cracks the nine tailed whip, the sound seems to be one to shatter an ear or two, but luckily it is in a game, "Lets get this over with... I hate bugs! Also your strike was the best I have ever seen!" Nixon says to Macradon. as he jumps back, just in time for the wasp to hit Macridon's armour. However the other wasp comes for Nixon, hitting him in the arm.

Macradon was not sure if Nixon would be able to handle both of them at the same time, so Macradon would take one of them down and if Nixon needed help Macradon would be sure to act. "Thanks" Macradon said, his Astral Hell was a high tier sword art, but Macradon was sure to get a stronger one whenever he would go out and grandmaster his sword skill. "If you need any help, you just say so" he said and would rush to the wasp that hadn't been attacked yet. With a quick and strong thrust into it, it died on the spot and withered into crystals and pixels.

"If you need any help, you just say so"  Nixon hears Macradon say behind him. "Alright!" Nixon replies as he attacks the wasp, his nine tailed whip cracking against it, This, apparently, angered the wasp as it came at him once again. It hit him in the other arm. "This stupid bug! Why wont you just die?" He gets back up to ready a second attack. "Now is a time that i wished i had a healing potion... Damnnit Tsubasa why couldn't you have made me one by now?" Nixon centers his next attack on the mob, in hope that he will hit. in even more hope that his whip will take affect.

Macradon could see that Nixon was in a pinch, he was low in health and the wasp was big, towering above him. "Next time I can just wipe them all out at once" he said as he would get into position to stab into the wasp. With a quick motion his sword began to glow as his body was moved by the system, thrusting deep into the big killer wasp. Macradon would pull back his sword, killing the wasp while doing so. Macradon would swing his sword from left to right and throw off any digital blood that wouldn't be on his sword anyway, but it looked cool. Macradon would sheathe his sword again and put it on his back.

"Thank you, Macradon. I appreciate it immensely!" Nixon says smiling. "I will be right back, I need to collect some mats, if you don't mind" Nixon goes off in search of strawberries. he does find a bush however all of the strawberries are covered in worms, as he finds out after reaching into it and pulling out a handful of them. He shakes them off frantically "Bugs, Why is it always bugs? Why couldn't it be anything other than bugs? God I hate these things!" He returns to macradon with a discussed look on his face "Well that was a bust" He says "I know i have said this before but i really hate bugs"

The two of them were standing here in the grassy opening of the forest, not much to do now other than wait for Nixon to regain his energy back. Nixon went on for a material hunt, trying to find something useful for him, it was a good idea for Macradon to do so himself, but he wasn't really feeling like any good materials were to be found on this floor, at least not for him. Nixon came back with a disgusted look on his face, like something he really hated just happened. "Well ... you really didn't seem to like the giant bugs" he said with a slight smile.
