[SP-F2] Creepy Crawlies (Complete)

[Birdie 0]

"This was a bad idea, this was a bad idea.." Birdie chanted underneath her breath, desperately trying to sooth what anguish she felt for the situation at hand. Meeting with an NPC a few towns across from Urbus, she'd planned to tackle a quest that had appeared due to the recent defeat of Floor 18's boss monster. However, one small detour and a mishap later, she found herself traversing the entrance of a cavern, cobwebs and a strange slimy substance lining the walls as she ventured further inside.

Irking her greatly, she wasn't alone for the journey. As her eyes slowly scanned the ceiling of the cave, she caught a glimpse of another player's red hair, huffing as she was reminded of the reason this mess had even occurred. "We could've avoided this, you know. I don't think that lady was actually going to put a curse on us for what you did."

"Quit having a sulk, will ya'? No way I'm takin' chances! You know the sorta tricks this game has stuffed up its sleeve," Loraine's red hair flicked as she looked to Birdie.

The bluenette's eyes rolled. "Because walking through a cave full of spiders was a better alternative?" She didn't watch as the red head grimaced, instead veering her eyes elsewhere. Knowing the challenges they'd be faced with, she quickly consumed a damage potion and summoned Glacia, instructing the bird to stay put in the air or on her shoulder. "Don't wanna clip your wings now, do we?"

Loraine smirked. "I did not know you have a pet bird."

"Maybe if you spent more time listening to me and less time messing around, you'd know that by now!" Birdie's voice was restricted to a harsh whisper, staying quiet so as to not attract unwanted attention.

Seeing the bluenette's agitated state, Loraine smirked and blew her tongue out towards Birdie- a simple response met with a harsh glare and rolling eyes.

"Sometimes I wonder how I made it through that night in the desert... huh?" The sound of insect legs skittering in the distance echoed throughout the caves walls, Glacia's wings flaring out as a sign of hostility. A pair of red glowing eyes appeared in the distance, followed shortly by 6 more eyes above and beneath them.

Birdie had no time to react as a strange sticky substance darted across the cave, Glacia diving in front of the girl to absorb as much of the attack as possible. Some of the web struck the bluenette and took a small chunk of her health, causing her to stumble backwards into the cave wall. "Ah~!"

As the skittering started up again, Birdie wiped her cheek and took hold of Retaliation, standing with the rapier pointing downwards. Charging up an attack, she waited for the spider to pass a certain point before striking it, jabbing it 4 times around its abdomen before pulling away at the final second.

"Get 'em girl!" Loraine called out, supporting her from the sidelines.

"A little help?!" Birdie barked.

"Nah, y-you uh, got a pretty good handle on things!" Loraine inched backwards, already hugging the cave wall as she tried to find a way to back up further.

Birdie stared in disbelief. "Spiders? You're scared of spiders?! You're the worst Australian I have ever met!"

Loraine's eyebrows furrowed before realising the truth in the bluenette's words, rolling her eyes shortly afterwards. "It's not that! C'mon, look at the size of that thing- how're you not running for the hills!"

"Because it's trying to kill me!"

The redhead opened her mouth to speak but found herself loosing a shrug. "Fair point."

Birdie spun around and drew her weapon back, charging up another attack as the spider's came closer. Milliseconds ticked by before she allowed the game to assist her through the attack, though poor timing led to her getting clipped by one of the spider's fangs as she executed to the sword art.

Loraine watched the fight unfold- the spider was no match for Birdie's combat skills, even if she was making some key mistakes with her attacks. 'She's swinging her sword heaps too much. That's mitigating a lot of the attack's power, especially 'cuz she uses a rapier. I'll hand it to her though, girl's got skill. Wonder who trained her up.' The redhead continued to watch closely, sure that her blue haired friend would make it out of the encounter alive.

Meanwhile, Birdie found herself dodging and ducking out of the way of an oncoming slew of web attacks, the spider becoming desperate to land a meaningful hit on the player. One such attack connected but it wasn't enough to shake the scout, and her sword struck one of the arachnid's legs, knocking it off balance. "Gotcha!" She dashed back and watched as the mob stumbled around the cave, trying to find its footing. Her eyes glanced over to the cowering Australian and she rolled her eyes once more. "Taking notes?"

The spider managed to get a hold of itself, using a nearby rock for support in place of its missing leg. It's eyes glowed as another attack was being charged up but Birdie wouldn't allow it- she cooked up a sword art and dashed for the spider, piercing its body before the mob could react. Exploding into thousands of tiny particles, a small window popped up in front of the girl to congratulate her victory. "At least the loot was worth it.. having fun back there?" She dismissed the menu and glared to the other woman who, by this point, had miraculously found the courage to join Birdie in the middle of the cave.

"Well done! Always knew you had in ya'," she complimented the bluenette, giving her a pat on the shoulder.

"Remind me to never come out questing with you again." Birdie shrugged the hand away from her shoulder and parted from the battlefield, delving deeper into the cave.

Loraine smirked, "You don't really mean that... right?" Blinking, she quickly hurried to Birdie's side.

Birdie sighed, turning her body to face the jumpy Australian. "No, but.. why didn't you help out there? I get that you might be afraid of spiders but you'll need to learn how to fight back eventually. What if I wasn't here?"

"But you were here," the redhead replied with a cheeky grin. Birdie gazed blankly in response, causing Loraine to roll her eyes and continue. "If you want a serious answer... I got scared, I guess. Plus, you handled yourself really well- granted that spider could'a clobbered you bad if it had any idea how to fight a player, but all things considered, it was a clean fight from you."

Looking sceptical, Birdie moved her eyes to the darkness ahead and smiled. "Thanks.. I guess? Still, next time, don't feel scared to step in and give me some help, yeah?"

"Don't count on it."

"..." Once more, she expelled a sigh. She stopped upon spotting some out-of-place; moving a few rocks, she uncovered a small bundle of materials and wood, hidden rather poorly from her perspective. "At least you're contributing.."

"Hey, I'm doing plenty!" Loraine challenged Birdie, her arms folding into a cross as she upturned her head.

"Oh?" Birdie retorted, looking to the redhead with intrigue. "And what have you actually done? I dealt with the monster, I found a bunch of materials-" Spotting another strangely placed rock, she knelt down and found yet more lootables. "Make that two bunches- and you hid when a spider came out from the dark?"

Loraine blinked, smirking accordingly. "And who's kept ya' company all this time? Aha!"

Birdie's eyes looked to the bird perched upon her shoulder, "Well, Glacia's done that and helped out during the fight.."

"Ugh, geez, you British people are no fun."

"Sorry! It's kind of in my blood..." She found a smile slowly warping onto her lips, shaking her head as she resumed her watch of the cave ahead.

Loraine grinned, "Kiddin'! Kidding, don't get all twisted up about it. I think there's a bit of light coming up ahead, you see it?"

"Hm?"

"That's not.."

".. is that a..?"

"Yup.."

As if an exact repeat of the situation they'd found themselves in before, the glowing light in the distance turned out to the be a set of eyes, moving around as a monster approached them. Loraine had already started backing away, though, Birdie already half expected it. "You're actually unbelievable," she commented, gripping the hilt of her blade as she prepared to do battle once more.

Similarly to the last fight, the spider lead with a ranged web attack which was easily blocked with Glacia's icy wings acting as a frost shield. "Thanks!" With the threat of an attack out of the way, she was free to dash towards the spider and land a set of strikes on its abdomen, jabbing high and low before it was time to back away and recover. 

'She's got this easy, I'm just gonna sit back and uh.. offer.. moral support.' Loraine justified her actions, keeping her back pressed against the wall as she reached a safe distance from the battleground.

The spider's head shook violently, its focus revitalised as it locked eyes with the blue haired player. Skittering along the ground, it sped towards Birdie and lashed out at her with a jump, its fangs chomping together desperately to deal some damage yet falling just a few feet short. Meanwhile, the girl saw it as an opportunity to reposition herself behind the mob and charge up her <<Penetrate>> sword art, waiting till the spider landed before going in for the attack.

Four expertly aimed attacks later and the spider gave a corrupted howl of pain, desperately crawling away so as to avoid any further damage. Birdie smiled to herself and aimed the rapier's point towards the ground, anticipating another attack before it happened. 'Calm, collected..' she told herself, breathing through her nose to control her heart rate.

Meanwhile, Loraine had taken to sitting atop a rock not so far away from the battle, admiring the fight with a lazy look upon her face. "Yeah, got get 'em! Do the uh, do the thing," the redhead cheered, gaining an unimpressed look from the scout.

"Trying!" The bluenette barked back, partially turning her head to face the unhelpful side-line sitter. "Seriously, this fight could've been won way faster with an extra pair of hands fighting!"

"Well excuse me for not wanting to fight! You said we wouldn't be entering combat, anyway." Crossing her arms, Loraine remained stubborn.

"Yeah," she huffed, "Before the NPC told us that monsters lived inside this cave- unavoidable ones at that!"

"Oh.. haha, um.. oops?"

Birdie groaned and brought her eyes back to the fight, only to be tackled to the ground by the crawling insect. After narrowly avoiding a nasty chomp to the face, she managed to throw the monster off whilst only securing a couple of small scratches, enough to make her health bar visibly drop by a few pixels. 'Damn it..'

She watched as the spider ran a circle until meeting her weary gaze once more, her hands trembling for a moment as she sought out a window of attack. 'Come on, do something..'

As if on cue the spider leapt once more, repeating its previous attack cycle. Smiling, Birdie side-stepped the monster's attempt on her life and reacted with a quick charge of her favourite sword art, slashing and jabbing at the insect's abdomen until she penetrated the leather-like armour. "Gotcha!"

With her enemy's weak spot exposed, she dashed away from the spider's retaliating attack and turned on the balls of her feet, jumping away to a safe distance to recuperate her drained energy. 'Haven't gotten this worked up in a fight since that first boar by Starting City... and she's still not doing anything?' Birdie glanced over her shoulder, laying eyes on the dormant player who seemed to be doing nothing other than watching the fight unfold. 'What's her deal?' 

She had little time to dwell as the sound of skittering started up once more, the spider actively looking to deal some damage once more. With its health bar so low, the fight should be over soon, and she breathed one final sigh to prepare for the end.

Shiiiiing!

Retaliation pierced the spider's falling body, rendering it a carcass as the mob fell to the floor. A spectacle of brightly coloured pixels floated and exploded in each and every direction, prompting the familiar 'congratualtions!' menu to appear before the girl's very eyes. 'Another fight won,' she gloated in her mind, dismissing the window with a swift swipe of her fingers as she glanced to the newly attained quest items. With that, she'd be able to give the event NPC enough Premium Fat and Noble Wood to afford them the specialised attachment, which wouldn't even be revealed until the second half of the event took place. She smiled to herself at the thought of Tobias' reaction, knowing how bummed he'd be if they weren't able to secure the add-on. Meanwhile, the sound of clapping echoed around the cave walls, and the red-headed Australian's voice followed suit. "That was pretty impressive!"

"Yeah, thanks.." Birdie's rapier slid into the sheath hanging by her hip, and she loosened her grip from the weapon's hilt. Arms crossing into a fold, she pondered Loraine's reluctance to join in on the fight- she had mentioned being a fairly weak fighter not long ago, so maybe the spider's stats had spooked her into submission?

With the fight out of the way, she brushed it off quickly and continued onwards, delving deeper into the tunnel system. They eventually reached the end and found the item they'd been requested to find; a small Black Sapphire, twinkling dully in the low light. Hastily picking up the item, Birdie handed it over to her questing partner and promptly turned on her feet, making way for the entrance of the cave.

"So, where'd you find this little bird of yours?" Asked the redhead, petting Glacia's icy cold fur.

"Bit of a long story," Birdie started, "I nearly died taming her."

Loraine's eyebrows rose. "You sayin' that like it'll put me off?"

"I guess not..." The bluenette felt a sigh escape her lips, shortly replaced by a smile. She recalled the events of that fateful night; not only had she gained a companion in the form of a pet, but also a man whom she could rely on in times of great desperation, whatever the weather. "Me and a friend wound up wondering into a forest during a blizzard to find an animal; I'd heard this rumour of a rare Frostbitten Phoenix being spotted on the fourth floor, so obviously I went to check it out. A little ways into the forest, we spotted Glacia, but.. she was being chased by this snowman- uh, Yeti I think it was?"

Tucked away behind a pile of rocks, a set of materials and bundles of wood came into Birdie's peripheral. She scooped them up quickly and dropped them into her inventory, continuing her walking and talking.

"Sheesh, sounds dangerous.. how'd you deal with it?"

Birdie's eyes met Loraine's gaze. "The player who was with me managed to tank up all the hits, so I had a lot of free shots on the monster. It was still a few levels above us so we fell pretty short in the damage department.. but we just kinda get hitting it till it fell over- anticlimactic, I know." She loosed a silent sigh, shrugging her shoulders. "Anyways, we beat the monster and wind up near this lake, and as the ice starts splitting apart, my friend saves me just in time to see this little bird come out of the water- and the rest is.. well, sort of history."

Loraine frowned, "I thought there'd be a lot more action involved, y'know.."

"Yeah, it's kinda boring look back on it..." A familiar skittering echoed in the distance and Birdie was quick to draw her sword, scanning up ahead to sniff out the enemy.

Loraine, already inching backwards, leant against a wall casually and smiled. "I'll let you take this one, I've already done so much fer us."

"My god, I hope you're joking.." Birdie grimaced at her friend but quickly found herself dashing to the side, the freshly spawned spider's jump attack doing little to harm her. She charged up a new sword art and dashed in a straight line, striking the enemy with a forceful jab before jumping away. "Alright, round 3.."

The spider relented by firing up its webbing attack, launching a slurry of projectiles towards the girl. She ducked and dashed behind a rock but found herself getting struck in the leg by an attack, rendering her immobile for a second as she untangled the sticky web from her shoes. "C'mon, c'mon..."

Skittering sounds fired up again as the monster closed in on Birdie, jumping atop the rock she hid behind before jumping down to where she shouldn't been. Confused, it looked left and right trying to discern where she'd gotten to.

"Over here!" Just as the monster turned around a sharp metal point penetrated its abdomen, puncturing its body as it the tip of the blade stuck out beneath. She pulled her blade away and watched the spider stumble backwards, half of its legs failing to stay upright. 'Below the 25% HP threshold,' she told herself, 'If I can just get one last hit in..'

Without warning the spider sprung up, its fangs angrily pinching together as it dashed and leaped for the player. It pushed her over by the chest and she hit the ground with a thud, violently trying wrestle the mob away. It pinched at her shoulder and managed to create a deep digital incision, minimal pain coming from the wound, but still enough to make her yelp with discomfort. She got a hold of the arachnid's back-most legs and slung it away, throwing it a few metres away where it landed on its back. "C-crap.." she hummed, putting a hand to the spot where she'd been hit.

Loraine watched with an eyebrow raised, not moving from her static spot. There wasn't any need to interrupt- if Birdie was in any true danger, the fight would've been long over by that point anyway.

Glacia took point on Birdie's shoulder as the girl stood up from the ground, protecting her from being wounded in the same spot twice. "Thanks Glacia," she told her pet, locking eyes with the enemy soon after.

She grew impatient, and tiredness turned to fighting spirit. Grasping tightly at the hilt of her blade, she pulled her arms back and charged the sword art that would spring her forwards into a mad sprint, landing a fatal attack on her enemy.

One second she stood in place, the next she'd dashed past the spider a few metres, blade held forwards as the dust trail lifted and dissipated behind. A giving hole torn through the middle of its body, the spider dissolved into nothingness and prompted the victory window to appear, congratulating her on the loot she'd acquired for defeating an enemy. She sighed happily- another battle won, and likely the last one for that day.

"Good stuff, slipped up at the end there though," Loraine chimed in, standing at the ready beside the bluenette.

"I know, I didn't expect it to recover so quickly. To be honest, that's the first time I've fought spiders before, I thought they'd be a lot more, um.. stationary?"

"Tell me about it! I swear, I'd be right outta the country if they were anywhere near that troublesome back at home... saying that, they're probably less vicious in this game. At least getting bitten by one didn't send ya' to the hospital, ay?"

Birdie couldn't stifle a smile, "That's true." A quick scan of the area revealed no hidden materials to gather, or none that she could properly discern right away. Rather than dwell on the fight, she shrugged it off and left it behind, knowing the entrance to the cave was coming up shortly.

"So, got any plans after this? Or ya' just gonna head home?"

The bluenette pondered her options, turning to the redhead. "The latter, I think. These materials wont sort themselves out after all- plus, just you handing in the quest should be enough to trigger the rewards. I think the least you could do is go and turn in the quest at this point."

"Yeah yeah, don't worry about it. I'll be sure to!"

The light at the end of the tunnel came into view, and the two players emerged victorious in their quest. Though the day hadn't started quite as they'd imagined it- indeed, the plan wasn't originally to take a detour into a spider's nest- but they'd made it work, and managed to complete the task swiftly and with little struggle.

Birdie was left to wonder. Why had Loraine been so reluctant to fight the monsters? The enemy's hatred wouldn't be focused on her at all and the fights would've been over far more quickly with the aid of another fighter. Perhaps it was a mystery she'd never get an answer to, or maybe the truth would be revealed in their next encounter- whatever the case, they said their goodbyes and went their separate ways, Birdie heading back to her shop on the first floor whilst Loraine returned to the far-out settlement, intent on handing in the quest to reap the rewards.

'Bloody spiders.' the redhead remarked.
