[PP-F2] Reclaiming Lost Ground <<Long Live The Queen>>

[Raidou 1]

Moving through the field, stereotypical of the upstarting guild master, doing what he knew best to continue the gears forward as he pulls away at a small collection of greenery. A small sum placed into his satchel as a commotion draws him away. Following the sound to its origin.

Raidou held fast looking out to an array of buzzing; rings of yellow and black littering the place in vast quantities. An epidemic of hornets claiming a good portion of the floor, varied onlookers of green players weighing their options with each traveler spreading further an further from the canopy of trees.

"Something is up..." Raidou remarks drawing his frames closer to his eyes with a glimmer of sunlight reflecting off the glass, on looking on as one of the green players gains a fire in his belly and takes a swing. The pack of hornets descends on him like wildfire before he shouts and runs off.

Raidou puts a hand up and begins to draw his sword before the events change staying his hand.

"Get it off, No!" The player huffing running away from the transgressors before a familiar blue glow tears him away in a flash.

Teleported, good...

"It's only a matter of time until someone gets killed if this horde isn't culled," Raidou whispers sending a notification to Kasumi, needing the backup as he intends to do just that.

Cordelia swatted away a normal sized bee as she exited the safe zone. "The hell?" She muttered, blinking as she looked up from her spot. Since when did this floor have a huge problem with. . . bugs? Most of them were contained within the forest, but now they were rampaging about? That's kind of stupid.

She just wanted to kill a quest mob. . . and now she has to deal with this? She could literally accidentally poke the thing and it'd be dead.

She sighed and nodded to her familiar raven. "Go ahead and find the queen, I'll be there shortly," she mumbled, rubbing her temples in an exhausted sigh. She just wanted to go home and be with Oscar. . . this was supposed to be an easy quest to do. .  !

She yawned, blinking away the tears in her eyes before she spotted a player not too far away. "Hey, you!" She called, jogging over to him with pursed lips. "The hell is going on here?"

"I could ask you the same, I have only just arrived but your query tells me you haven't the answer. Stranger still, look..." A pointed index at the culminating crowd of hornets the size of small dogs buzzing about in a swarm just north of the pair along the treeline of the forest. "If I don't act fast this will not end well. The luxury of time I do not have..."

Looking to Cordelia sizing her gear painting her frame topped with silvered pink locks, a decision made at the sight of her equipment's vibrancy giving him the sense she was more capable than, the selection of greens attempting to scratch away at the numbers laden in the fields of green, stillness overtaking the weather with no sway or motion. Reaching into his inner red robe pockets and retracting to vials of dark red liquid. "You seem capable, exactly the piece I need."

Raidou tosses Cordelia a Golem's Strength (T1/Rare/+2 Damage for a Thread)

Tossing the vial to her with a subtle reply "So what will you do?" a stalwart decree adjusting glimmering frames on his face & adjusting the strapped silver plating on his left arm with the pull of belts preparing himself to work this solo if he had to, but it would be much smoother with aid.

Popping the opposing reddened container open Raidou drinks its alchemical brother burning hot within his veins as the brimstone taste permeates his tastebuds once again, no chances...no hesitation, or fighting fair.

Cordelia's lips curled. She never liked bugs. Who would, though? She wasn't really sure if she would ever like something that has more than four legs. 

She looked at Raidou from the corner of her eye. What was she, an object? "Gee, thanks," she murmured sarcastically, rolling her eyes as she caught the bottle of red liquid. 

She lifted her chin into the air and groaned. "Good samaritan, good samaritan," she muttered, inhaling sharply before she turned back to him. "I. Really, really don't care. Look, I just wanted to do a quest, poke a wasp, and then go on my merry way," she paused, exhaling. ". . . but, I doubt that anyone on the frontlines would come down here and deal with this [doo-doo] right now," she grumbled, looking back towards the hornets with a disgusted expression as she popped the lid off of the potion. 

"Guess I'll have to take care of it," she whined under her breath, holding the glass vial up to her lips before she downed the red liquid.

[Raidou 1]

A hushed nod from Raidou, although a bit reluctant Cordelia seemed to accept and Raidou was finished waiting for disaster to strike. Unsheathing his blade by swaying his torso to build momentum to help him do so, with a dulled grey matte color preventing the sun from casting a glare on its surface. Sliding down the risen vantage the players were on, puffs of dust kicked up while he descends, the blade dragging behind him given the heft Raidou is the first to charge to combat.

#135463 BD: 3 Missed!

"Get the hell out of here or I'll kill you myself" Raidou barked at the green players to weak to be dealing such spawns, in attempts to scare them from getting themselves killed before taking a reckless swing at the first close enough to aim at. The hornet, however, seemed to sense him as the others began to approach drawing closer as this one trails low the glowing art screaming over it.

Cordelia sighed to herself as she felt her left cheek twitch.

She guessed she should've eaten breakfast with Oscar. . . she was hoping that she would get to be able to get back home before he woke up. . . 

Now she was here.

Yay.

Cordelia placed a hand on her sheathed hilt and mumbled incoherent cursed under her breath. It wouldn't be hard to kill these things, at least. 

Her eyes locked on with that of the black and yellow pattern of the wasp, a small smirk playing on her lips as she readied for a quick attack. She whizzed by Raidou in a blur of white and gray, darting back and forth before slamming down her blade on the wasp's back from above, forcing it harshly into the ground before it effectively gave way and shattered. "That was an overkill," she muttered under her breath, looking at her katana with a frown, "and now you choose to proc."

The greens from the veiled threat began to retreat, some on foot and others by a blue glow warping them to the varied villages on the floor in response. Raidou's suspicions and analyzations confirmed in a blinding flash of silver and grey, hearing Cordelia ascend past with an all too familiar *Pop* reducing the hostile entity to data her platinum hair dancing around her face as she comes to a grinding halt as the assist system wears off upon its destruction. Without hesitation or waiting for a response from Cordelia, Raidou retargets the approaching swarm as they close in, moving for blood and retribution at their fallen comrade.

"On to the next, try and keep up." Raidou rebuttals toward Cordelia with a studious plan up his sleeve with a subtle goading toward her. A glimmer permeating down the black star as Raidou turns his head left and right subtle popping throughout his neck as he adjusts his frames to his nose before his art tears him to the next with blinding speed tossing dirt into a small cloud as he moves toward the following creature.

#135480 BD: 7, Hit

The attack carries him, rapid to a dropping blade before Raidou boots the flat of his blade kicking it upward into a pivot like a waltz. Slamming and carving a decent size red gash through the creature's thorax as it curls from the impact for a moment before unfolding back to a neutral position as the hate from Raidou's weapon makes him the prime target. Sizing it up Raidou shifts his stance with an extended left arm "Come, try as you like."

"Try and keep up," Cordelia mimicked under her breath, rolling her eyes as she followed after him and on to the next wasp.

The girl sighed under her breath. She wasn't really sure if she liked this guy or not. On one hand, he seemed to know what he was doing. . . somewhat, but on the other hand he seemed like a huge asshole. 

Whatever. 

Cordelia widened the space between her feet as she prepared another sword art. . . she wasn't even sure if she had actually used this before. Gen Getsu, huh? Maybe once or twice. She dashed forward, her katana extending as she got ready to deliver a . . half circle attack? They did not word this sword art well at all, let's just say that. 

Like a hot knife to butter, her katana sliced right through the wasp's abdomen, creating a clean cut as it split into two halves before exploding into a cloud of blue crystal shards.

The gambit works it seems, Raidou bursts on to the next as the duo continue to widdle away at the numerous spawns with ease. Raidou watches on as the damage dealer destroys the hornet a glint of steel as the art tears her blade in a half-circle clipping it in two with a jagged silver trail skipping about with the connection, clipping the beast to halves unmoving as they disperse to dust as if a figment of reality. A quick boot of his blade back risen, a quick rotation and a shower of sparks up his plated left before taking on a dark grey hue.

BD: 6, Hit!

As before a blinding pull in a puff of brown smoke, right to the next target in the chain slowing working his way toward the canopy of trees through a field of swarming stingers. A quick halt as the momentum and assist drags the blade overhead clipping the hornet with a sturdy and audible *slam* and knocking it down, it seems, however, the things constitution is a bit heartier to remain mobile after the concussive blow.

Cordelia’s lips pressed into a thin line. 

She wondered.

Why the hell was she doing all of this? 

She could be at home. She could be at home doing literally anything but whatever this is! Her fingers tightened around the rough surface of her katana’s hilt as she exhaled roughly. 

This was stupid.

She looked over to the other player and slightly frowned. By the looks of it, he was somewhat experienced, and she could tell that he was at least half of her own level. . . so why was he doing so little damage. . ?

She was doing more than twice the amount of damage he was doing at the moment when she was his level. Maybe he just wasn’t a fighter.

Then why was he bothering doing all of this? You know, let the players with actual damage capabilities handle this?

She sighed, feeling her head start to throb with the thoughts that were continuing to swim around her head. 

Cordelia walked up to the wasp calmly and deadpanned, slamming the blade of her katana down on its head with as much force as she could muster, smashing it into thousands of pieces before she gave a blank look at Raidou.

She just wanted to go home.

Another hornet down, vanishing into the sea of blue around them as they move closer and closer to the treeline clearing a path through the swarm. Cordelia looks to him with a blank stare, Raidou could see the cross of confusion and reticence painted on her.

She's confused...Then allow me to explain...

A quick glint of rough grey clears down the blade, as he vanishes to his next target with the cardinal seemingly bending space around him. The blow connects but the cardinal leaves room for improvement, Raidou follows up with a quick left hook pressing the advantage before a turning downward cleave with blunt blade slamming the hornet to the ground with a hefty impact. Struggling to pick itself up from the concussion laden in the dust Raidou looks down over the winded creature as his HP bar pulses with green light attempting to fill past his full to no avail. 

Shifting his momentum while the creature lays on the ground, Raidou cleaves upward flipping the insect to the air like a spatula flipping a pancake exposing the creature for a follow up by Cordelia. "Your turn..." Raidou remarks shifting his shoulder down a bit to see if she would the step he's made.

Cordelia gave the player a side glance before charging forward and swinging her katana at the wasp's abdomen, once again slicing it in half. 

This was getting terribly boring. 

It didn't really help that she couldn't exactly figure out what this guy wanted from her. What, did he just want to kill a bunch of wasps simply because he wanted to kill a bunch of wasps? She thought not. 

It felt a tiny bit off, and it only made her even more suspicious. After the accident with Pinball, she wasn't sure if she could ever look at strangers with such a light-hearted gaze again. . . and maybe her own comrades and allies, as well. She had done two quests with Kobold before he revealed himself.

How could she have been so blind?  His behavior was suspicious from the start, and yet that never triggered something in her head.

It infuriated her. To be played like a fool. Her slender fingers gripped around her katana's hilt so tight that she swore her knuckles turned white. 

She was going to have her revenge on that brat.

It was becoming painfully clear to Raidou that Cordelia could handle herself, with each blow in exchange as the players vastly out leveled for the area cut a path through the aggressors. A flourish Raidou's blade as the grey begin to take hold with the cardinal acknowledging his intentions, taking a pause with a vague subtly as Cordelia began to tighten her grip around her hilt in a strange manner.

Fear...No, not with the lack of a tremble

Regret...Not with the fluid change of targets

Rage...

Something was preying on the girls mind, Raidou struggled with intentions before a simple notion rang in his ears in an echo of the past.

Give people time to work through their anger and frustrations.

Making a quick break to leave Cordelia to handle her issues as to not press into matters that she'd most likely not want to share to a complete stranger despite his desire to intervene, Raidou moves to swing, a burst of speed in a quick pivot and kick of dust. The blade connects hard and winds the next hornet in the chain, each kill moving them closer and closer to the ring of the treeline at whatever condition was producing this sudden influx of hostiles.

"My name is Raidou, yours?" Raidou said with a decree while lording over the incapacitated hornet. As to at least pay his current companion and comrade at least his name, given the task they were now bound to.

"Cordelia," she said plainly. 

She looked over to the now paralyzed bee and sighed in relief. Maybe she could take a break. She didn't realize how completely exhausting it would be to kill things over and over and over again. 

The tip of her blade dug into the ground. "You confuse me," she said bluntly, her hands resting on the hilt of her katana as she gave the now named stranger an odd stare. "I'm going to assume that you aren't a tank judging by your lack of a shield, and part of me knows you aren't some kind of healer. You look experienced enough to be at a decent level, hell, maybe you're tier two, but what confuses me is your damage-- or lack thereof." She let out another sigh before shrugging her shoulders. "I don't know if you're just dumb or purposely making this harder on yourself," the girl uttered, her hands leaving her katana before stretching behind her back.

Taken back by the sudden words flowing like a damn breaking open, the creature was still active but removed from hostility from the impact from Raidou.

"If you are interested, I'll clear up the confusion. I am a tank in a sense, I do not wield a shield because the best way to forgo damage is to not be where it may land which the shield disables. My damage stems from my comrades, which you are proving the concept behind with each stroke of that blade of yours. I chose to believe in others, I intend to stand between them and the hell of this cage as a solid wall." Raidou remarks in a soft explanation in a mirrored patience and lack of emotion of Cordelia's expression. The creature wasn't worrying him in the slightest, any damage it could deal would simply be regained by his sword. Any attempts that may be laden in Cordelia's tone or words to anger him were lost in the soft and calm that Raidou reflected from floor 6's ordeals.

"The choice I have made, is to unbalance the scales and exploit the system in anyway I can to rig the game in players like yours favor which becomes easier with selected specialization curated to do so." Raidou sternly but fluidly purveys as the hornet on the ground starts to regain its composure.

"People confuse me greatly," she muttered, shaking her head as her lips pursed into a thin line. "You can only help so many people before you have to start fending for yourself." That was her mindset, anyway. Of course, she would always encourage helping others around you but that can only go so far before you have to start worrying about your own numbers. 

"No matter. Let's just hurry up and get these things killed so I can kill the wasp," Cordelia said blandly, ripping her katana out of the earthy ground just before she strolled over to the incapacitated wasp. It was just about to regain movement in its limbs before she swung her katana down on it. The larva released a high pitched sound that seemed to make her ears sting before succumbing to its fate.

"Level tens should be able to kill these things easily," she fussed, yanking her katana away before she let out a soft exhale. "What a pain," she whined, leaning her head back as she glared at the sky. She was always one for helping people, of course. . . but was this really a danger to people? If they were smart, these things wouldn't have been such a grand problem.

"Confusion stems from a lack of information." Raidou continued his explanation while scanning the field, one of the hornet's slowly moving up to meet the group in a recurring pattern. "Respect my stance to disagree, Cordelia. I believe that arms can be driven by your actions long after your banner no longer flies. History paints a tapestry of these flags continuing to live on past the wielder's demise. If I fall here, I want my banner and my actions to inspire the same response. I chose to believe in those who would stand at my back and devote my blade to give them ground to stand which is foolish to some as I cannot act independently but it matters not for I am never alone." Raidou chooses to break the philosophy as she had seemed to switch gears. "I fear these may not be commonplace" Raidou speaks adjusting the glasses on his nose at the fact they seemed unruly to the players from before, "It's no matter, this is what I train for to be the weight that tips the scales." Raidou noticed he was doing it again, phrasing like a dictionary and like a person would. "I become stronger so I can even the odds."

She felt every word coming out of this guy pissed her off more and more, to the point where she can just imagine impaling him with her katana. Fortunately, she didn't want to be an orange player just yet.

"Whatever, let's just hurry up and go kill this damn wasp." So I don't have to listen to your bullshit anymore. 

She wasn't sure if anyone had annoyed her to the point of being murderous before. Not even Pinball had achieved that, but then again, his was more like a betrayal than an annoyance. This man quite literally made her want to jump off a cliff, though. That's a first, but she guessed that there was always a first for everything. 

She hoped she would never have to see this guy again. Like, genuinely. She wasn't one to usually hold a 'grudge' on people but God damn, if she ever saw this guy again, she wouldn't know what to do. He just infuriated her in so many ways it was hard to guess what she would even do next.

Cordelia's speech had a lace of venom, it appeared Raidou had done it again with his abnormal alienation with the human medium had quite obviously pissed her off. This was becoming quite the habit, despite good intention or simply trying to make conversation the nomad found he angered most he spoke with on fair ground with every intention at small talk. One day he might find the stance to speak with his peers, but it appeared this wasn't day that would become one. Raidou washed his hands of the attempts and let it fall where it may, maybe he could apologize for whichever action he had taken in the future when he was versed enough to do so. His focus shifts through the treeline they had cut a path toward, the sunlight reflecting off the frames on his nose. Behind the coverage in a breakthrough allowing sight on the matriarch that lay dormant within the canopy, that brushed subtly with a passing breeze. She rears back and lays another subtle moving larva, with a squirm and the sound of liquid discharge. "This is it..." Raidou speaks softly with his attentions shifting to Cordelia, his unlikely companion on the trek and despite his inability to leave on amicable terms he was glad she happened by and was willing to offer assistance through reluctance.

"Thanks Cordelia." Raidou spoke to her as he was sure she would take the initiative, and given previous encounters and how exposed the queen lay would be an easy kill for the girl. "I hope the part we have played today will save just one more life." a soft whisper letting Cordelia take the lead, as he turned his back toward the area getting a sense of what remained behind with hopes that the queen's destruction would lay the others to rest as well. The same destruction that would secure the area and allow safe passage by those weaker than the pair.

Cordelia had zoned out once again. It really didn't matter anymore. They were almost done with the quest anyway.

She honestly had to give herself a pat on the back for this. Seriously, she didn't know how she managed to stay sane during this quest, but hell, she did. Somehow. It was a miracle that she hadn't exploded yet. It really, really was. She wasn't a very patient kind of person, but hell, she did it! 

Cordelia rested her blood on her shoulder as she approached the forest along with her. . . partner in crime. "Don't mention it," she said stoically, heaving the blade off of her body as she approached the spawn point of the wasp. She could probably just throw her katana at the thing and it'd be dead within seconds, but she was pretty sure that the universe would [no-no word] her over again so she decided against that idea.

The Wasp Queen had barely just spawned before Cordelia had sliced it right in half. God, she should've done this quest a long time ago.

"Alright, loot and stuff should be in your inventory," she said, sheathing her katana as she gave Raidou a side glance. "Good luck out there," she bit out before she left without another word.
