[F21-SP][E3] Nomad's Harvest - Eggs? (Nature's Treasure)


Recommended Posts

The day seemed drawn to a longer length then usual, more then likely due to the excessive planning that each took its own segment of time from the swordsman. Working well into the morning with the break of dawn peering in a mellow blue through an ajar window pane, Raidou had slight bags beginning to form under his eyelids. Rest would have to wait its turn, for there was things still left unfinished and Raidou had yet restored the vault to an operable content count as per his usual. So despite his exhaustion from such prior affair the nomad collects himself with a tap of open palms to his cheeks, hoping to jar him self to a more alert state. The remainder of a small meal he was consuming at the foot of the large red table littered with hastily drawn numbers and schematics like leaves that had fallen from a tree.

A quick jump to the settlement that rimmed the guildhall, through the wastes for a short jaunt through the early morning light. The coast was clear of any prying eyes that would see his vibrant red beacon in the bluish hue of the still ripening day, Raidou shuffled quickly in a brisk and soft walk keeping his frame pressed to any buildings or the like for a cover. 

The circular pad that linked unlocked floors together stepped upon as he found his destination and with a mumble from him to a silent backdrop. "Floor 21" Raidou muttered with it carrying in the vacuum of this devoid city. A sudden burst of matching blue light tore reality asunder, bending space and dropping him to his location. Immediately his nostrils are assailed by the smell of moisture trapped in a dank cave. Without pause as to keep unhindered, Raidou beelines for his small alcove, the very same he has become accustomed and taken care to keep it fueled.

The cavern seemed to welcome him past the noxious gasses that hid its entrance, with the glitter of multi-colored light pulsing from within that causes the nomad's pupils to respond in the change of lighting intensity with a slight squint. His vision clears and reveals a bustle nook of speckled material, Raidou cannot help but have a small grin take one side of his mouth. This was after all what he came for, what he enjoyed and was also align with his plans. A beautiful chorus of value to him as both a method of entertainment and serenity while also boosting his goals accordingly.

A few steps inward, Raidou removes his cloak and lays it flat like a tarp. His methods were improving as he became more familiar with the other varied types upon which he overlooked before. Kneeling down with a placed hand to stabilize himself Raidou started digging through the patch of colors aplenty, with reds blues and greens and more.

Curious still was upon collection of the herbs in tandem, using a method that had not differed from his prior ones his HUD was updating with something else alongside it. "Eggs?" Raidou exclaimed to the now three notifications he had missed in his focus. Opening his inventory and highlighting the objects labeled:

Egg [Quest Item] * 10

He took a quick look over the description to familiarize himself with what he had found, as soon as he does this his HUD pops a quest accepted and updates his quest log. "Strange. Their chocolate?" Raidou thought unknowing the real world date had fallen to easter in his entrapment but made a note to investigate this chain of events further. But for now, he would leave them where they were added and change his attentions back to the materials he was working. Harvesting another heap of the stuff and dropping it to the back of his cloak.

The efforts didn't go fruitless as Raidou had little issue harvesting more and more from the cavernous stone floor with a deft collection of pulling, dropping each to a section on his cloak among the others. A quick shift left having sucked this area dry of what was in the section he was in. Raidou was struggling due to how exhausted he was but it wouldn't and couldn't matter for he had a task to complete still.

The plants began to dry up it seemed but there was still something here for him to retrieve and he was damned sure he would get the entirety of what he could muster. Luckily it seemed as though the herbs were as eager as he to be claimed, a golden glow from the cardinal system continued to reflect upon its surface at each glance he took toward them as if signaling him "me next!"

The patch lay barren, and Raidou took what was here in a bundle folding the corners of his robe to clump them together into the center at a much quicker pace than before. Scooping them up singularly and adding each to his belt satchel with the varied colored leaves brushing the opening upon entry. A wipe of his brow to keep his eyes clear of potential inhibitors, Raidou grabs the cloak from where it lay and moves with a quick scan around him. "Ore." A solitary word echoed off the walls around him with his sights set on an outcropping of greenish hued veined metal laced through a rounded grey hunk of earth.

Dropping the cloak with a flutter and straightening it flat in a methodical routine, Raidou unsheathes his sword. An earth-shattering crash of steel on stone as Raidou drops a cleave of the Black Star down on its surface with an aim to decompile it for extraction.

With success under his belt, Raidou sheathes his sword after a quick wipe of the blade with a rag to remove potential particles from its edge and check for any damage that it may have sustained to a response of none. Dropping with a slight click over his right shoulder on his back sheath, which made little sense in regards to reality given how hard it would be to do such a thing in actuality. Raidou leans down placing his kneecaps to the slightly damp grotto floor and starts moving about the shards of stone that lay where they broke. Managing a few here and there of worth laden obvious with a greenish yellow metal hidden within and moved to the back of his cloak to segregate what was here from the wreckage that made up the pile of destruction on the wet flooring that stunk of moisture and moss.

A few more nuggets of stone laden with resources found within the rubble, Raidou taking care to gingerly move them away as they received to not mix them with the others. The cavern continues to offer up what lay within, and Raidou wasn't slowing despite how tired he was. His memory a crystal reflection of events that had come to the past. Quinn came to mind, the small sandy blonde girl who his guild had so excitedly scared the wit out of upon first meeting. Thankfully she was capable of accepting the offer of aid after some emotional turbulence.

Raidou while moving the materials with a shift of the hand and his upper chest, wondered how the small girl was fairing in her efforts and how much the small actions he had taken actually mattered now. Was she well and how was that shop she was so keen on obtaining doing now?

It mattered little in the silence and did not slow his actions, but it would be hard to say that such a thought didn't have a way of adhering to the forefront of the swordsman's mind. With a shake of his head to almost physically jar the notion away from where it had stuck like a wet napkin, to regain his composure and focus on the task at hand. The metals, after all, wouldn't be so gracious to collect themselves and show up at the guild vault.

They were collecting well on the blanket that was his robe however, a nice dozen or so of them placed upon its surface. They show a vibrant glitter of greens and yellow in the blue-hued light perched precariously above in dim lighting. It seems as though to the nomad that the stone is now empty of any more to harvest. A quick pat of his hands together confirms this as a fact.

A quick turn of his robe to condense everything that lay on top of it to the center for easy retrieval, Raidou starts to pocket them into a linen sack he had brought for ores specifically as his intentions were to gather a little of everything after all. A quick toss of each with the bag seeming to bend upon them entering in a response from the force. After a moment the robe lay clear, and with a sudden jerk and pull of a cable the swordsman ties it shut before another rapid motion links it to the belt on his waist.

Standing upright with a tap of his open hand on his knees to break loose what had stuck to them from the dirty floor, Raidou takes a quick survey of his surroundings in attempts to find another source to tap into. His eyesight is met with more of the different shades of light slightly illuminating the area.

This very same light found a reflection on his spectacles, shielding his eyes from those who would look on albeit no one. The cave responds to his survey showing back a small outcropping of what he knew as recording crystals. The oval stone with jagged rainbow hued prisms that looked like quartz or glass jutting out of it and seeming to glimmer despite the rather low lighting. "Shiina." Raidou whispered as he took to them, dragging a corner of the tapestry that usually found a home on his shoulders.

Pulling it flat to create a more wide blanket effect as before, Raidou turns and kneels down to start the process. A press of his finger and thumb at the tip of each, Raidou gently rocks them back and forth to knock them loose from where they are epoxied. A break of stone, pebbles raining to the floor signifies a successful extraction.

Pulling it up with a soft lift to remove it from the socket he had created give within, it slides out unscathed into his hands now free from its home. Raidou sets it gently onto his robe and moves to another. Raidou couldn't help but picture the little thing these were being procured for, and with it a thought of how far the girl was coming along. At first he was not convinced what she would amount to and was sure that he would more than likely have to leave her behind for her own safety. He still couldn't bring himself to fully accept her Kasumi or Setsuna's place on the battlefield, but it was better he kept an eye on them if they must travel outward. 

This thought breaks into reality as one of the crystals click together and Raidou is forced to check it for damage, hoping his side track hadn't caused sufficient harm to such things.

It looked intact with no hairlines or fragments broken free from it, upon this discovery, Raidou sighed in relief. He would have to be more careful as to not let his mind wander too much else he may just destroy one of these in his absence. Such a simple task could go horribly wrong when working with such fragile pieces such as a recording crystal. However, it seemed even in his distraction the collection was coming along swimmingly, on the base of his cloak was quite the number retrieved and ready to store. Shiina would prove of use yet, and despite his reluctance was glad for the assistance as after all roman wasn't built on the back of one man.

Her and the efforts of the others were silently appreciated by the boy who they considered a leader, a fact that he wasn't quite sure of as of yet. Time would tell.

With a final tug of what was here, Raidou pulled the last free leaving a socketed empty oval of rock in its wake and at his back a collection of luminous glass fit for use in a recording store. He found intrigue in this fact, as he had not yet seen how these objects worked and would like to take the time to research such a thing in the future. Raidou was familiar with what they were capable of from past experience, but not their construction which roared as a hole in his knowledge. This fact bothered him, he dealt in absolutes, not chance or possibility. 

Safely and procedurally Raidou begins to place them into their own bag, carefully as to not have them bang together upon entry. With the last, Raidou ties it shut and straps it to himself next to the ore one with enough distancing to stop them from colliding.

With them secured and safe, Raidou stretches a bit and gets the lead out that had taken hold inside his joints. His lack of sleep was becoming more and more apparent as the day past forward. A quick slide of his menu read back 12:37pm from his in game HUD clock. "Noon." Raidou whispered with a confirmation and acknowledgment of how long he had been at this. Six hours so far placing him at close to induced exhaustion so he would need to pick up the pace and start to head back before the 36-hour mark of being awake.

A rub of his eyes to clear them of the haze that was setting in before he started to look around again, looking for more to harvest. With some success, the cardinal had placed a crate here that seemed almost out of place. More than likely it contained more bolts of fabric as before.

Moving to the container and using his sword as a crowbar, as it breaks loose a tuft of dust from a time past seems to bleed out of it in all directions with a musty earthen smell along with it. Raidou cannot help but subtly cough in response, shifting the lid to the side and off with a crash against the grotto floor. Within are a few bundled preserved breading and quite a number of brightly colored wraps of weaving. Raidou tosses a few over shoulder to his robe as these were much less fragile than the previous sort and did not run the same risk of damage. 

Each land with a huff and a flat *poosh* given it cannot roll, the softness of the material stopping its motion entirely as a form of shock absorption. Raidou clears the top layer and bends at the mid torso inward to dig deeper inside.

The crate empties out easily, with a final bundle adding to the counter before Raidou wipes his nose with his right wrist in attempts to halt a sneeze. It doesn't take as he lets her rip. Raidou's eyes water a bit from the smell, moving the bolts into a bag clearly not large enough to encompass such things. But given the lack of reality imposed they slide easily in as if small enough to fit. Raidou cannot help but still wonder how it bends space in such a way, finding it irritating that the matter seems to just work as intended instead of following the rules of the world. 

A quick pull of the cord and tie to his belt, Raidou chooses to let this fact slip from his mind. There were a few more he would need before he left, Food and Gemstones. A quick glance at his surroundings he found a crag of gemstones on the back right corner.

It appeared that these always were available when he visited, seeming to regrow on their own through the cardinal. Raidou wasn't one to complain but it was curious that it seemed that only he and one other had known of this place. The fact stuck to his thoughts like glue as he began to pry them free from their entrapment. Shifting them over to his robe with his heel as they landed in the dirt and stone with thuds with plenty of small stones alongside them. 

They roll rather strangely given the odd shapes of each, but happen to the robe which halts their movements stopping them dead. Raidou started to feel the pressing exhaustion but fought through to finish up fully before he left. A few diamonds and ruby so far, the wall wouldn't offer up too much more now and he could continue for just a little while longer.

With a finish of the harvest of this resource, Raidou takes to the pile and starts to pocket the litter. Uncut and obtuse gemstones of every color, Raidou assumes them as sapphires, rubies, emeralds, some unknown pinkish ones, and a couple of diamonds. This third sack now stuffed to the brim with gemstones upon which he pulls the drawstring to tie it up. A quick wipe of his face to try and keep himself awake, collecting his robe from the ground and bustling around him with a flutter pulling the thing close to attach it to his neck.

Taking himself to a trickle of perspired dripping water, the growing fungus from before collecting easily under the source of water and with it a scattering of local fauna. Same small cave lizards minutely hiss and dart away at his approach. Raidou starts to pull free a few of these light tan mushrooms.

While adding them to the final pouch with his eyes becoming heavy he finishes up rather hastily and starts to leave. On his way out behind one of the jutting natural made stone pillar stalagmite is a box with metal trim. Raidou is starting to fade away with his exhaustion pressing in, the lack of rest at his heels but still takes caution in its opening. A quick ring around the wooden container with golden metal trim, the boards still solid enough to hide its contents. He cannot seem to find any cable or wire that signifies it may be rigged to blow. A soft grasp around one of the corners he lifts the lid slightly and runs his fingers along the opening to feel for a cord attached to the interior. His hand comes back clean, finding none. "Guess its safe." Raidou whispers as he gives it a once moreover.
