[PP|F22] An Unsavory Encounter

[ChaseR 0]

It had been a fair while since Chase had put out a little advert, looking for members to join him in a sub-dungeon up on the twenty second. After his myriads of trips, many monsters had dropped maps that ultimately lead to these deadly lairs he'd be glad to explore. Those were the only 'quests' he could find at this point, if any at all. He knew that somebody would be coming, but he didn't know who it was. He'd soon find out of course, and be even less excited about it than usual.Now waiting at the settlement of the twenty second still in the safezone, he was (surprisingly enough) not too far away from Firm Anima's headquarters. A fact he didn't even know all that well himself. There was little reason to be surprised then, when he started to see Freyd in the distance. Fuming, he opened up his inventory and began to eat away at his consumables, buffing himself in the process. Quiet and more focused on the eating than anything else. "... This is a coping mechanism. Eat away."

"ChaseR."  It was a greeting, but seemed to fall flat, though perhaps not deliberately.

"You called for assistance.  I'm here to help."  Freyd spoke his words softly and plainly, carrying no overt tone that might set the man off.  It wasn't worth sparking another fight or burst of outrage.  "What are we facing today?"  Genuine curiosity.  Quest options on this floor were extremely limited.  It was far more likely that Blue Boi had reached the same limits as he had and was getting down to the same cache of dungeon maps he himself had stored in his inventory.  Red eyes watched the blue, scanning for clues or reactions.  His companion seemed irate, but then he always did.  Having consumed his own array of items, Freyd summoned his blade, making sure to keep it pointed well away from the azure tank, lest he get the wrong impression.

"How've you been?  Seems like a while since we did anything together."

"Sub-dungeon.", he plainly blurted out before taking out two items from his inventory. A dungeon map, and then a vanity piece of bread he started to eat away at. For how much he was eating, his glare was intense as ever, staring the pavement down as if it had just killed his firstborn son. "To prepare for the boss.", he quietly finished after the bread had been brutally bitten to death, starting to walk out the settlement.

After they were a fair ways into the forest, he quietly started to interact with the map's interface, letting out a deep sigh as the piece of paper began to disappear, and before them emerged some entrance to a low-ceiling cave. What a complete pain, of all the maps this one had to resemble a cave/mine the most? With this lad too? For crying out loud. "I'm finished with quests.", Chase continued to try and throw in some casual dialogue while the duo trudged into the new territory, but his words and expression continued to be rather intense. This really was an unsavory encounter for him. Whatever could be further inside the cave? Why, little green men, hissing with their giant noses and bright yellow eyes, running right towards the duo. Completely disregarding Freyd's existence, Chase held his blade out towards them and it suddenly lit up, but by this point, the both of them should be used to the light without the need to cover their eyes. Now it was finally possible to see his sword in all of its brilliance. Slashing right through the group, although only one was damaged by the extended blade, left paralyzed while the rest continued to run amok, yelling in pain from the brightness. ". . ."

"Excellent!"  Freyd exclaimed, praising ChaseR's achievement.  "I have a handful left to finish, though there may not be sufficient time to complete them all before joining the raid."  He glanced sideways at his companion, trying to think of how best to mend the tension between them, but it was far from his standard skill set.  

"We'll be lucky to have you there, ChaseR."  The compliment was genuine.  The boy... no that seemed unfair... man, was not much younger than not much younger than himself, and had grown in prowess even faster.  Maybe it would help mellow his moods a bit?  'One could hope,' he thought, but left unspoken.  The rest of their travels followed in silence.  Freyd wasn't the talkative type, to begin with, and ChaseR seemed tense.  It seemed best just to leave him, rather than risk saying something to be interpreted as provocative.

"Cave goblins?"  Freyd said aloud, with a hint of surprise, as battle began.  "Honestly, I don't think I've fought even a single goblin yet."  He shrugged and slid left to flank them, his own ripping through the mobs like a void, taking bites from their digital forms, before its seal reactivated and flared with its own holy light.

Honestly, given all that the two had gone through since the last time they met, Chase wasn't really sure if this was genuine enthusiasm an emotion much too rare for Freyd to show if anyone or if he was downplaying him and treating him like a child again. The compliment that followed right up wasn't too encouraging either.

"Never seen a goblin before.", he quietly added before his blade's brilliance came back, and with a single sideways motion light filled the cave and made the goblins hiss in repulsion once more. This time though, three completely disappeared and shattered into beautiful blue shards, with only one remaining and the attention of three more, two of which seemed bulkier, having been captured. "More up ahead.", he warned and moved to the side so that he could have enough room, clearly focusing on the monsters much more than the conversation. If this was one way for him to not think about the companion he had along with him, so be it. He was fine with that if that's how things were. If this was Mari or somebody else he was at least on good terms with, he'd even go as far as to ask 'what's a goblin' or something around those lines, but it just wouldn't come out with Freyd around. "After these, there's a boss probably."

"Yeah.  There will be.  Raidou and I just did another dungeon like this recently."  Memories flooded Freyd's mind of Sundered Spire warriors and a particularly ineffective boss who was all rage and no substance.  The collateral damage she manages to inflict to their surroundings was enough for him to issue a warning. 

"Let's hope we have the same luck.  These dungeon bosses can pack a bit of a punch, should they actually manage to connect.  But I'm sure you can take a few hits, if it comes to that."  

No eye contact.  No tone.  Just a statement.  ChaseR would read into it what he wanted anyway, so there was no point in expending the effort.  The first, stuttering goblin fell easily enough, and the rest took significant beats to their health bars.  Why did they always have to be at each others throats, or else walking on egg shells?  Damnit!  They actually made a good team!

Despite all the ill intent that Chase wanted to sense from Freyd, he didn't see much wrong with that statement. Maybe the most insult thing he just did was assume that he would get hit in the first place, which was a rough 'maybe'. No need to be up in his case this one. Just remembering back to what Lily and Mari would tell him was enough.

And now that five of the goblins were down, Chase saw the three that were left jump right at Freyd. Somehow, he'd managed to get more aggro than Chase had. A questionable occurrence but something that happened nonetheless. Despite who was standing before him, his glare became more intense and he threw himself in front of their attack, parrying the smaller one's blade with his own's broken inwards dent, before it suddenly glowed and appeared whole. And before the other two could get too close for comfort, he whipped the sword right at them to deal some light damage and disintegrate what was left of the smaller one, now only faced with two lightly armored cave dwellers. "Stay behind me next time.", he somewhat roughly said and looked over his shoulder with the same intense stare before turning back at the monsters. The anger of course in his eyes, directed to three different parties. Himself for not guarding Freyd better, Freyd for being there, and the monsters for making him protect him of all people. But only one of these three parties was about to get it.

"I'd love to," Freyd replied, as his blade burst into additional blinding blasts of white light, "but they keep impaling themselves on my sword!"  He kissed his teeth at the latest pair of mobs, as if scolding them for being too squishy and then demonstrating to them exactly how he meant it.    Both sets of health bars dipped substantially to reflect his point, continuing to dribble downward even after his blow was dealt.  ChaseR's face telegraphed his thoughts: Poison?  Since when?  Freyd shrugged.

"It was in the larder, so, you know."  He pointed at the blade, which looked strange with the slick dark green venom shimmering over it, like some malignant salve waiting for a target.  "It's not as good as NIGHT's getup, but every little point helps."  A sweeping kick knocked one goblin back into the other and sent them sprawling a few feet further into the cave, and granted them some extra space to maneuver.

If anything, the monsters also wanting Freyd completely dead made sense to him. He kept hacking and slashing at them, bragging about himself and then casually talking about his own weapon. And because Chase gave his claims the light of day and looked at the sword, he didn't hear the tumbling goblins suddenly come to a stop before they started to run right towards them again.

Too quickly for comfort, he couldn't jump right in front of Freyd to block the attacks once more, watching them wince from the poison. With one's health almost completely depleted, he hoped it would be enough but it wasn't. Everything came to a complete halt, or close to it rather, with Chase feeling his pulse slowly echoing in the back of his mind and every second feeling like a minute. His blade's holy side started to extend, catching the sword of one of the goblins and cutting it down while the other swiftily took cover under Chase's body and ran right past him, to assault Freyd, shanking him in the stomach with a small, obscured blade. And now that the damage had (literally) been done, it ran back, gasping as its friend shattered into data, glaring daggers at the both of them with the trickle of health left. The poison would be enough to finish it off, but to think Chase just warned Freyd and he still didn't stay directly behind him. "... How do you even know I hang out with NIGHT?"

"Ow!  Wait.  What?  I didn't..."  

The cave goblin practically collapsed on top of him.  Pivoting his blade at a right angle to avoid receiving the hilt in his own gut, Freyd clasped the thing's armor at the neck and promptly rolled backwards, flinging it into the far rock wall and instantly regaining his footing.  A quick, blind backwards stab was all it took for the mob to pop like a lit balloon, showering them in glittering shards.  When the light faded, ChaseR could see that his wounds were nearly healed.

"I just meant that I knew her fighting style.  We've seen it together in the Easter dungeon.  Besides which, she practically renown as Aincrad's most mysterious swordswoman.  Other than a few stray comments that suggested that you knew each other, this is the first time I'd ever heard that you two hang out."

Dead silence followed.

"So... uh.  What's she actually like?"  This had suddenly become interesting.

"... Aincrad's most renown swordsman..? Since when?". Maybe the two just didn't frequent around the same places though- to put anybody on a pedestal like that when she hung out with little other than Chase was honestly much too surprising to him personally. Regardless, a new question followed up. One that... it wasn't that Chase didn't want to answer. He wasn't sure how.

"... Quiet. She's quiet. But not really. And she likes cats. She's good company. And reliable. I've made her angry a few times though. I can't read her.", he quietly muttered, struggling to piece together a coherent description of her due to how little he actually had sat down and evaluated her personality in his mind. On one hand he wanted to say he knew how, on the other he didn't know jack shit when it came to wording of all things. And with that out of the way, a much larger goblin with a bulkier than the rest physique and some animal's hide wrapped around its neck, hanging like a cape, emerged from the deepest crevices of the cave. With a wooden bat ready to blugeon the duo, Chase quietly held his sword before him and prepared to attack, his blade glowing. "... Boss.", he called out and ran right towards it, attempting to slash but feeling his attack stopped short of hitting his target by the spikes all over its bat that purposefully caught the blade before the green man snickered.

Veering left and racing along the very edge of the cave wall, Freyd managed to catch it blind and deal it a vicious gash across the left shoulder.  Unfortunately, he also got its attention, which was something he was unaccustomed to pulling while in a group with a tank.  'First the elites, and now the boss,' he thought to himself. 

"Are you having a bad day, or something? Or did you try out a new gear combo."  A flash over Blue Boi's regalia was enough to confirm its familiarity - and to foolishly distract himself.  Screeching with glee, the unusually large goblin, which looked more than a fat ogre with undersized feet, promptly whoomphed the Whisper with its club, sending him crashing into the rocks behind him and showering the cave with shrapnel as he was embedded several inches into the stone.

"Any time now, Chase, would be good."  Peeling himself our of the Freyd-shaped impression on the wall he shook off the effect of the bash and resumed his fighting stance, even as his wounds were already, slowly, starting to close.

This had to be a bad fucking joke. Chase just told Freyd to stay behind, yet the chieftain wasn't even eyeing Chase in the first place. Instead, its eyes were on the bigger dick of the two- or that was just the bluehead being biased. The blade of light quickly formed from the edge of his blade and he began to run right towards the monster.

A monster that no matter how hard he swung, seemed to parry any and every attack once it had hit Freyd hard as ever with its bat, until the blade of light shattered and the blueberry was sent back a fair distance. Its eyes were on him now, but it was easier than ever before for the nimwit on the other side to get its attention again. And he was complaining, but was he in the wrong? He had just missed so many attacks, he had no rebuttal for being called out on something he was to blame for. "I don't fucking get it?!", he grunted in confusion, throwing himself at the monster yet again with his blade before him to parry any attack it would launch while Freyd had a good enough opening to slip an attack or two in and damage the goliath.

Was this some kind of new battle stance or something? Because, if it was, it was a really bad one.  Letting his own weight pull him out of the wall, Freyd tumbled low, under ChaseR's swing and took the opportunity to take another bite out of the the chieftain's flesh.  Utterly confused by the sheer, uncoordinated chaos of their tactics, the mob simply couldn't decide what to do and flailed its club around impotently as a result.  A well-timed bump to the elbow was all it took for the thing to whack itself in the face with the butt of its own weapon, prompting an embarrassingly high-pitched yelp of pain and surprise.  Freyd and ChaseR just looked at each other, both a little stunned by how this was all playing out.  

"Keep at him.  It's just a string of bad luck and can't last."  Bouncing off the back wall of the cave, Freyd slammed himself into the goblin's back, causing to stumble forward off balance and right into the path of ChaseR's waiting blade.

His emotions were currently going through a blender dragged out straight from the deepest depths of hell. So this is what Alkor meant when he said that Cardinal liked to fuck with players. Now the monster was literally running right at him, Chase run towards it and he swiftly brought his blade to its neck- or so was the plan, until his body decided to just not.

". . .". He remained silent. Standing right in front of the goblin chieftain, the two stared at one another, one glaring daggers right inside of him while the other just gave a confused glance, thinking he should instead be terrified and run through by a blade right now. "Are. You. Fuckin'. Kidding. Me.", he asked and began to slowly step right towards the green man, slamming him with the flat side of his blade- for literally no damage whatsoever. What, did this not even count as an attack? He didn't seem that phased either. "I'M FUCKIN' ATTACKING YOU THE PAST FEW FUCK IF I KNOW WHAT. CAN YOU PLEASE REGISTER A SINGLE ATTACK?", he began to shout at it, but the goblin just looked back confused. It wasn't him Chase shouted at, no no. It was the system running the poor mob. "HELLO, CARDINAL? CAN YOU PLEASE TURN BACK ON. GALAXY DESTROYER. SWISH. SWOOSH. AND STOP LETTING THE FUCKASS TAKE DAMAGE. HIT ME.", he continued, glaring into the goblin with seething anger. Maybe he was justified this time. "It never fucking is with this piece of shit thing!", he grumbled and turned to look at Freyd, having successfully interrupted the flow of battle even if all his attacks had missed.

He couldn't laugh.  It would be too cruel, and he'd been where ChaseR was right now.  It wasn't fun.  But, from a third party perspective, it was friggin hilarious.  The poor guy was trying so hard and the system just wouldn't let him get a win.  The arbitrary nature of the mechanics were simply ruthless at times.  At least the goblin chieftain seemed to be running with similar luck.

ChaseR's strike spun him around and still off-balance, perfectly positioned for Freyd to take advantage, and so he did.  A flash of angelic white flared across the cavern walls and the mob screeched like a little girl a second time.  Wait... Maybe it was a girl?  Did that even mean anything with mobs?  A mental shrug dismissed the notion just as the devastating blow restored his own health and vigor.

"Give it another shot, Chase.  Let's see if we can keep it spinning around!"  He tried his best to keep up the encouragement, but this was simply getting silly.

Honestly, Chase was one step from going hysterical. He quietly approached the boss and raised his sword in the air, bringing it down to miss by a fair bit. Another slash, and he missed again. And again. And again. Cardinal couldn't hate him that much, right? Both he and the chieftain who was starting to raise his bat laughed as they exchanged looks.

"Heheh... Keheheheh!", went one of the two, and the other followed up with "Kyahahahah!". And then came a slam dunk to the face from the boy's flat side of his sword before he knocked the oversized gobgob down and began kicking him. "You fuckin' thought so huh you smooth brain?! I'm not a fuckin' brainlet, cut the laughter and give me my damn loot already!", he continued to shout as he stomped on the boss but... it was much less violent than it seemed. primarily because he was just trying to kick the man's hand off of its bat and little else. The least he deserved in compensation was a whole floor all to himself, but... don't tell him that. You'd just encourage him more.

Freyd raised a single eyebrow as he watched ChaseR unload on the mob.  Sure, it was frustrating, but this was a little much, no?  Not that his companion could tell, given how preoccupied he was beating the poor goblin senseless with his fury, and the wrong face of his blade.  He debated whether to make some wisecrack about the whole thing, but it just wouldn't have been fair.  Everyone had bad days.  Besides, not saying anything was somehow more satisfying.

"Montjoy..." he whispered as he stepped left to approach his target.  A cloak, not visible an instant earlier, peeled itself from his back and carried his silhouette to the right.  Both figures flanked ChaseR, seeming to linger before rushing with blades held proud forward like lances.  The mirrored threats confused the slumped over gobgob, which flailed madly to keep the threats at bay, to no avail.  Freyd slipped beneath its defenses and took another pound of fractal flesh for himself.

Hearing Freyd mumble something, Chase quietly slowed it with the kicks that were dealing no damage, looking to the side to see a shadow right next to him. If he didn't know this guy had a stick too far up his ass to attack him like that, he'd have attacked out of reflex. Quickly looking to his other side, another shadow. And there went the boss' health, getting dropped quite low.

He remained quiet, it was clear Freyd had learned some form of a trick after all. That or maybe he was just using his stealth differently. "...". He didn't want to beat a monster while it was down, but he couldn't let the shadow get hit even more than he already had in his stead. So as the goblin got up, he struck it and dashed to a bit further away, quietly watching it survive with a sliver of health and hiss at the both of them as it tried to prepare for a counterattack. "Finish it, I guess."

Freyd's weapon changed forms, becoming a gleaming blade of polished steel with a brass cross guard in the shape of a pair of scales.  The goblin's eyes flared red as it roared at them, flinging bits of spittle at them more effectively than it had swings from its club.

*SHHHHink*

The bold blade sliced clean, quick and neat, severing the boss' airway, silencing it and ending its bellow instantly.  The great goblin fell forward, its eyes rolling up into its head as it slammed into the floor, spilling across the entire surface line a dropped jar full of marbles as fractal shards scattered everywhere.  Freyd tilted his head to glance at ChaseR, trying to assess whether he'd calmed down any from his frantic flailing near the end of the battle, or might still be in the throes of a little catharsis.

"You seemed a little tense near for a bit there.  Everything okay?"
