[PP-F1] Music Notes start to Fly <Earning A Living, Performer>

[Quinn 0]

Finding out about this was like something Quinn was hopping about to understand. It truly was a great thing to find out players could play musical instruments. And knowing from the past Quinn was open to doing so at any moment. Never really finding an item that could make good music like the violin she owned herself back home. But now it was getting at that point that Quinn was getting ready to start this for the best. Reading up all the information Quinn made her way to the shop where she heard this quest took place.

Opening the door and walking and as Quinn does so she can hear a woman singing. Quinn was a bit struck by the song and listened carefully to the woman. Then the woman stops and turns to Quinn. She turns to her and smiles sweetly. "Hello there, I do hope you enjoyed my singing, I love singing for others, and I see you are here, would you like to learn how to bring enjoyment to others in terms of singing? I would love to help you."  She smiles and beckons Quinn closer, the studio that she is in is a quaint one, with not much in it. Her modest work station shows in her modest looks, but she is still beautiful. "Now, I will start to record a song, and you can watch me and take notes on how to sing, the vocalization of words is key in making a good product." She smiles and reaches for a crystal, but notices that there are none there. "Oh no! I have completely ran out, would you be a dear and gather five materials for me? I can still sing, but making a recording crystal will only work with materials. Thank you very much." Quinn has no change to speak back before the quest opened and she got her quest started.

With her newfound quest, Quinn walked out of the store and looked around for a bit. It was quite busy on the floor and Quinn did not like it at all but for now, she ignored it and slowly walked head down to the exit of the settlement.

Wiping the sweat from her brow at a surface comprised of stone, a small outcropping of collecting circular boulders laden with small glimmers of light bouncing sunlight back in gleams of energy. It was early and the sun lay high in the sky, breaking through the blue as a bullet hole punched like a burning yellow reminder of reality. Winds were absent along the field drawing a stillness through the fields and trees, making each exchanged word piercing and the vacuum of such deafening. The guild was hard at work in mass, bumping their vault numbers via provisional collection. Kasumi was taking careful incision on each rock, shifting around a small silver pick between the small spaces between each glowing jewel crammed in nooks across the stone. Shifting the flattened end with decent experience, it slides underneath enough for Kasumi to attain leverage and with a quick downward pull, it snaps free and drops into her palm.

With an exuberant grin painted across her lips, she verbally commands the success to the rest of the fold. "I got one!~"

Gaius was being well, Gaius... Scanning for any potential creatures to stomp into the ground. The dragoon has been here before attempting to pick apples from a tree with little progress. Being bad at gathering materials was fine by him, deciding instead to focus more on his skill set keeping the area free of possible intrusion. Looking down to Kasumi as she pulls free a small glittering stone of some gem. Shooting her a thumbs up Gaius acknowledges her progress "Well done, I have got this so grab a F*** ton and go wild!" Gaius shouts with earnest intending to do the same while scanning the field for potential threats. Under the guise of protection, Gaius was worried more about keeping things exciting.

The grouping was just outside the floor 1 village of Tolbana, the perimeter was distinctly devoid of players as most were more than likely just waking to the morning. There was one in the distance, Gaius being a bit bored started trailing through the trees toward the distant figure.

"Mind If I join you?" Simmone remarked taking to the orange-haired monk's side and peering through the stone she'd been working feverishly upon looking for some gemstones of use. Gaius was being just as rambunctious as usual, galavanting through the treelines. While tearing away at the stone beside the monk in white linen uniform, Simmone shoves her hand into one of the small openings but cannot get her hand to fit down and retrieve the small aught contained within it. After a few seconds of attempting to get her hand past the opening decides to leave this gem to Kasumi to retrieve and her attentions jump to the male moving around them.

"Anything of note?" Simmone called out to the polearm boy hopping from tree to tree like an ape. The last time they paraded these fields a massive storm riddled the place turning it into a swamp, Simmone wasn't too particular at continuing if it meant she'd be stuck in a drizzle once again.

"I don't like it..." Sliding in from obscurity with leaves dropping down in a free fall as she drops from her vantage point in the canopy surrounding the village in question. Setsuna was on edge, as usual, the girl wasn't content with how out in the open they lay in the lush field of emerald shrubbery. Voicing her concerns as she eyeballed Gaius running amuck through the same woods as she was concealed in she saw no use in hiding as her positioning was being announced by the idiot running around yelling and doing nothing to remain unseen. Taking to a collection of webs attached to the underside of the branch she'd been clung to. The webs of silver string tough and thick, would make a fine fabric if woven properly. Setsuna being a tailor of new found ground and taking her first steps in dabbling in the profession at the behest of the warrior in red, struggled to remove it from the tree given its sheer adhesion to the ridges of wood it clung to.

"Patience is key, I need you to be able to do what your capable of Setsuna." Raidou said softly dropping a hand on her shoulder. Looking around the rest of the guild was at work tearing away. A quick order to Gaius "If you see anything Gaius let me know, I'm going to do what I do best. Here!" Raidou remarked pulling the red adorned his left shoulder closer to his neck as to not inhibit his movement before taking to a small patch of green. Tossing a small vial toward Gaius, Raidou was confident in his abilities and wanted to solidify his advantage over the spawns.

Raidou tosses Gaius a Golem Strength potion

The quality of the resources here was scarce, Raidou began to run his hands along the tops of a few varied hued colored tips of foliage. after a few sweeps inch by inch none of them seem to stand out among the litter, a trained eye yielding no focal upon which to retrieve to be used in his craft.

With her mission set up, Quinn moved into the wild holding her spear, being quite small so it was clear that is was a one-handed spear, and moved out. Knowing from last times Quinn was not the best at getting her luck up there but at least she was for sure that this would make it a lot easier for sure. Knowing the few locations that were given to Quinn where clear. But knowing that that would end becoming a hot spot Quinn had no Idea to go there in the first place. Looking around a bit Quinn spotted a small stone known to help build these crystals that the quest giver spoke about. 

Kneeling down to pick it up Quinn looked very small and just like any child seemed to be quite young compared to her real age. "Magnifique, Just a few more like these and I can start," Quinn said low to herself soft and calm with her accent clearly coming away from France or close to it. Quinn looked ahead of her still kneeling down and looked a bit into the distance. She was not really paying attention to anyone or anything but it was clear she was not ready to be caught off guard as she was holding and leaning on her spear.

Simmone's long black hair poured into view while Kasumi was hard at work pulling bits of pebbles out of the small seams to widen the gap to reach more of what was contained within it. The outcropping was good, the difficulty lies not in locating the material but getting to it. Shifting this small hand pick horizontally and beginning to pry and the piece gives way to reveal the uncut emerald she had her eyes set on. Lifting it and dusting the bit of soot from its surface, it looked it would stand to be cut down and set into something wonderful.

"It looks like it's usable." Kasumi spoke softly presenting the gemstone to Simmone looking for a second opinion, as merchants had an eye for all materials and could diagnose its specifications for her to determine its quality and durability. The gemstone was beautiful though, seeming to absorb the sunlight and fire it off in all directions like a beacon.

"There's some girl over here." Gaius shouts without a second thought, he wasn't being that secretive but it looks as though she hadn't noticed him. She was doing something off in the distance but that wasn't what Gaius was concerned with, it was the creature moving to her out of sight. It was obscured, not sure what laid beyond the field of view to assail the group she'd just happened upon it.

Gaius slid up to her side and spun his two-handed polearm about before docking it downward and popping the cap of the potion passed to him. A solid swig of red fluid leaving an empty vial in its wake, Gaius dropped and let it roll-off as the burning sulfurous taste pumped his tongue with a bitter taste. Coughing a second Gaius shouts to this blonde "Fight or not, your choice but whatever that is, wants a piece of you." Leaving it to her to decide her fate.

Looking over the emerald Kasumi pulled free Simmone's appraisal boots up and gives her a read "Tier one, as expected given the floor. Durability 55/55. It should hold up to being processed, well done Kasumi." Simmone quickly speaks through the attributes of the item with a flare of light claiming her retina as the skill boots and fades. It seemed Kasumi had this node fine, Simmone hears Gaius making a ruckus in the distance and moves to intercept pulling her rapier not sure what to expect. Taking note of the player's cursor its green, but Gaius is on edge like a bull seeing red. "Come on dear, leave that brute to claim it. What are you doing out here?" Simmone remarks, in her thickened accent (OOC: Simmone is french :3) to the blonde girl. Simmone would let the girl speak but surely it was earning a living as this was becoming pretty commonplace as Simmone had helped five others prior.

Tearing away at the web with a careful slick of this small knife from her hip, it breaks loose and begins to fall slack. Spinning and twirling the knife to cause it to take a spherical shape it was apparent that Setsuna would need to use oiled gloves to weave this into a usable fabric after treating it to remove the adhesive. Removing it from the flat of the blade in a small ball of material, Setsuna takes care to add it to her satchel without getting it stuck to her palm.

The ravenous animal was at least good for something, Setsuna led the bloodhound bark and growl in the distance while she went to pull her blade. Had to second guess her draw, moving her hand from the katana back to her curved blade for she wasn't proficient with the previous yet. Keeping her distance taking a careful shot of vision toward the player's cursor, it retracting green.

Raidou's hand halts as his eyes catch a familiar hue of maturity, moving deft hands to the tops of the brush and pulling free a couple easily from the grouping of foliage. A quick pat of his hands together to remove the filth from the retrieval Raidou stands as Gaius makes it known there's another in the location. "Find it then, I'll leave it to you." a darting glance to Gaius. Confidence in Gaius's capability after the completion of his travel through the forest's of will Raidou is more intrigued at the small one who graced them with her presence.

Leaving it to Simmone to start the interaction with the player who breached Gaius's perimeter, Raidou gave a small nod to Kasumi knowing the player was probably doing their profession quest as the others had. Kasumi should know the notion, as they discussed flooding the players around Tolbana with drop rate modifiers prior to assist in the acquisition of usable professions in the market.

While gathering out here Quinn kept looking around a bit with her spear close to her, she was looking around and notice something from the corner of her eyes. A monster not much more, It was not strong or anything so It was easy to dispatch as soon as Quinn felt like it. Sure it may do something but it seemed to be paying its own pathing and was not looking up at Quinn. So Quinn ignored it for now keeping an ear out for the sounds.

With not much luck at all Quinn looked around for some stones that could help her make these crystals. But that seemed a bit more troubling than finding flowers. Then something approached fast, faster than the monster from before. In shock, Quinn turned around to see a guy rushing at her pulling his spear and what was best to do then just fall over and get a panic attack as he did this. "EEEK!" Was the only sound Quinn got out. she looked scared and her face was completely frozen in fear by this guy's sudden sprint. Not any second later another player joined him and Quinn was on the ground in fear clutching her spear in one hand. The fear was clear in Quinn's eyes and she didn't even move one bit at all staring at the two, in complete fear.

It seemed the others had this handled, so she kept to her devices working on the stone she'd been harvesting. Laden around the surface of the rock was still the glitter of uncut jewels. Pulling her hair tie tight and cracking her small pickaxe against it like a pry bar she manages to pop another glimmering gem free from the stone with ease. Dropping to the ground in a small *thud* a purple gem rough but usable none the less. Catching the expression from her cousin, she retracts a small ring from her pocket and moves to Raidou's side. "Here you go, as you asked." handing the small silver serpent band from her hand to his. A quick "EEEK!" snaps her attention to Gaius and Simmone, Kasumi yells "Don't do that you are going to scare the life out of the poor thing!" It appeared that tact was neither Gaius nor Simmone's strong suit, with a shake of her head she looks to Raidou "Great, what an excellent way to approach someone. You sure we need that baboon?"

Sliding to a stop and staring down at Quinn, a bit confused at the whole event. She seemed to be trying to defend herself from something, Gaius's eyebrow raise. Gaius hadn't thought of the ramifications of just lunging at someone with a weapon drawn. Looking down to the girl now planted firmly on the ground, Gaius chuckles and pulls his weapon back as to not threaten her further. "My bad." Gaius says scratching the back of his head, a quick shout from the guild leader behind him "Gaius, you and Simmone go after it. Keep it from returning. Keep your distance that is your task, we will meet back up in the town of beginnings. Now go and please don't scare the crap out of any more people." Raidou shouts from the distance with an adjustment of his glasses. Gaius simply nods "Well, S*** guess I'm being punished, Sorry bout that." looking down at Quinn with a grin before he leaps off into the tree line after the beast that got away.

A misunderstanding with earnest intentions Simmone finally understood that a sudden approach behind Gaius flailing about like a lunatic with weapon drawn probably wasn't the best course of action. Taking her lashing from Raidou and with a soft scoff "But I..." She knew she was in the wrong here but despite her attempts to argue chose to take the order's she'd been given. "Fine, but you owe me one for pairing me with that idiot." A glance down to Quinn with a softened gaze "Sorry dear, I didn't mean to frighten you." placing her hands together with a soft bow forward. "Wait up you... you are going to get yourself killed one of these days!" Simmone shouts struggling to keep up as she darts in Gaius's wake as he tore away from the location they had been in fast pursuit of the beast that had broken their perimeter and caused this debacle.

Shaking her head as the two more bombastic amongst them haphazardly just approach the other player they knew nothing about, Setsuna wasn't sure what they'd expected to come of such an action. "Idiots, the lot of them." Setsuna speaks softly removing her hand from her blades handle as it returns to its dangling position off the fabric holding it in place, a quick hop back into the branches overhead with an intention to keep with the task given. Jumping from tree to tree back to where the webs had hung, Setsuna starts to scan for more prospects. Dangling down her silver hair drooping down toward the ground, she takes a reverse perspective of the area. The attempt, however, yields no results, biting her lip she flips back upright and dives deeper out of sight. A flurry of leaves flutters down from where she jumps being taken by a soft breeze as they skitter about dancing in the subtle winds.

"I'm sorry for their behavior, they mean well but are still a little green. I thought I was bad with people." Raidou remarks giving the girl distance, not coming much closer than ten feet or so to her. A careful look over her, the symptoms something he'd read about in his study of all manner of aspects proving useful beyond just making him awkward for once. Removing a small vial of light green liquid from his satchel, he places it to the ground slowly and places the ring around the neck of it. "We only mean to help you and others, our methods may need some refining." Raidou hoped the notion would at least calm her mind down a tad.

The vial on the ground was a failed potion, doing nothing in the sense of the game would consider useful but was an oil. Extracted from a lime green plant it reeked like lavender, and the books he's read claimed the smell would help ease the symptoms of what she was experiencing. Leaving it where it lies, Raidou spoke softly "Please use this, I made it a while back by accident and it is nice that it may see some use after all."

Recovering from his kneel Raidou shuffled slowly away from her fixing his glasses, taking back to the patch he'd been working with a nod to Kasumi to leave her be as it would only increase the problem.

Quinn still filled with fear and on the ground leaned on her hands as her spear laid under her hand. The situation ended just as fast as it started, With a shout and some sorry's Quinn was just speechless from fear. The two who said sorry and went after the monster as told so seemed to move away now but this didn't help Quinn at all. She was still in a state of panic and looking close you could see her eyes have started watering a bit. Sure Quinn may be a bit weak when it comes to emotions but she can't help it. 

For a few seconds, Quinn was thinking of a way to calm herself down but it was not working at all. After that small thought, the man who seemed clearly in charge of this attack panic spoke out to her saying he was sorry for his group's actions. Quinn followed her hand and took the sorry for granted as he said it. Seeing at he placed down a potion and what seemed to be a ring as well Quinn looked still full with fear. But she moved now. As she moved her free hand with a swiping motion to the left to inspect the item as the menu opened on her as she flinched a bit as it did so. "Pourquoi?" Quinn said soft and quiet as she spoke.

Kasumi followed suit as Raidou passed, a thought at her family may have just rectified the situation. "Alright, I trust your judgment." Kasumi whispered to him as she trailed along behind him. He took back to what he was doing, so in a mirror, she had to do the same. Returning where she was working her attentions still split between the stone filled with varied glimmering stones, and the girl still struggling from Gaius being so well 'Gaius'. Retracting the small silver pick and smacking against another glimmer as pieces of the stone broke free in small clumps of rock, Kasumi pushes her fingers into a gap she makes between the solid stone and the gemstone and with a bit of effort manages to pop it free from its enclosure. Glaring back at her with the reflection of sunlight is a small diamond, the rainbow colors of the spectrum blaring as the light hits it.
