[F2-PP] A simple remedy in death (Secret Medicine)

[Setsuna 0]

A glance to the board, a simple quest to help clean off dusted thoughts. A twist of her finger selects the easiest, and another prompt is sent through guild chat rather abruptly. Like all her messages before they were short and to the point. A destination and a motive, that was it. Finding the rim of the fountain and taking a seat to wait for responses. Just in case there were any. She was a bit reluctant to believe she would receive any back, but she had to be able to say that she had tried. Setsuna begins to list a bit off, this moment of peace starting to force her to doze. The girl didn't get much rest, and it was in these little moments of down time in a safe place that she found it hard to keep it at bay. Setsuna was all but exhausted. More than any other.

Sam sits in a chair placed around the Firm Anima table. Raidou had left to attend to something. A conversation given for Sam's new placement. Freyd was her new captain. O&I was a better fit with her. Setsuna and Kasumi where the other two people that where under Freyd. She did not know any of them very well... Setsuna seemed like she hated her. Kasumi and her recently did a quest together, making her realize that working with her would be okay. Freyd... Sam had only spoke to him a handful of times but she guessed now that that would most definitely change. 

Sitting there in her own thoughts as her HUD chimes. A message from Setsuna, perfect timing. She puts  her thoughts behind her and gets up from her chair, walking out of the guild hall. Stepping on the warp pad she sees Setsuna sitting on the fountain. Sam takes a seat next to Setsuna and at first says nothing. After a moment she says "My new placement in under the O&I." That is all she says without looking at her, whatever Setsuna was going to say would be worth getting out. The sooner the better, she had to learn to work with her eventually. One step at a time though...

A splash in that pool of water, that billowed out of the fountain. "Henlo grills. What we up to today?" Shiina exhumes riddled with moisture as she rolled around within that stone structure, enjoying life to its fullest in her chaotic yet joyed nature. "Wait, O&I. Das with me." Shiina looked over the rim like a puppy, her hair stuck to her forehead in strings. "Welcome aboard noobie." Eyeing Sam with a giggle, before she slinks back below the rim into the water with a thunk. So Sam was going to be part of the posse, that could be cool. Freyd always had the best treats and the funniest things to do. When her day was getting boring, she knew that finding him would make it more interesting. A tyrant with the ability to heal, whose damn near tougher than some tanks. That made sense, right? An HP battery always on overdrive.

To the sounds of splashing toward the group that was slowly forming up, it seems he was in the right place. "So Secret Medicine. Seems a little low level, should be a breeze." Griswold comments lifting his left arm and setting his shield to it in a flash of orange. "A little caution will not hurt though, never know what might end up happening if we take it at face value." A word of wisdom spoken, from a mature old timer. Accepting the invite sent out by Setsuna, working his way through the menus with some difficulty until he manages to get it done. Those sausage like fingers make it no easier to do, that and his age made him a little crap at using the UI. With a grunt, Griswold pays the team a nod and heads toward the threshold. It was time to get this show on the road, best to get started sooner rather than later.

A snap to attention as Sam just lays it out while she was drifting off. A troubled squint and a glance toward the girl that just sat next to her. Sending invites to the group "Then perhaps you will learn some temperance." Setsuna offers coyly slinking to her feet, heading with Griswold for the gate. A soft breeze of cold left behind, and as she stood next to Griswold the height difference was staggering. Lifting the cloth mask from the lower half of her face upward, as it does you see her marker and name simply disappear from her targeting reticule. She was preparing for lethality, as her senses started to recover from the dulled state. A flicker of her frame twists it and begins to make it hard to make her out, before she seems to fade away like fog. Back into her stealth, sliding from view without an issue.

She had every intention to do just that, she thought as Setsuna vanishes from her sight. Sam plashes the water behind her to get Shiina's attention. "We are heading out." She knew that it might have sounded muffled to Shiine being that she was under water right now, but she said it loud and clear enough to be heard non the less. She had to gain Setsuna's respect and by doing that, she might actually take her seriously. It wasn't going to be easy and it was going to take time, but she knew that she could do it. Waiting for Shiina to come up, she helps her readjust her armor of that small frame of hers. Both her and Shiina catch up to the group rather quickly. This quest wasn't going to be hard from what she had read but Griswold was right. They should always be cautious because they never know what will truly happen in this game.

"Is it those, I bet its those!" Shiina expresses with jubilant glee and a point, to these bulbasaur looking mothertruckers. A walking plant with festive green leaves and vines for vine whipping. A pulse from the child as the sonate began. The ground shutters as rings echo out from beneath her heels, like ripples on a waters surface in red. A glance to Sam sees her weapon stir with power that was not hers, overcharging the axe's head in such a violent discharge. The creatures start to shuffle toward the group, showing some decent speed but nothing compared to Sam as she tears so fast past Shiina that her hair begins to shutter. It was quite insane, a silver glow at her back and a reaping that was unbelievable. Shiina was glad she'd catch it this time. The monsters scream in agony trying to defend themselves from the girls onslaught.

Sam dart forward faster than normal causing Shiina's hair to dance in every direct imaginable. Using the momentum of her heavy weapon she slides and spins, letting her weapon guide the control as some of these creature spring backward upon impact hitting a tree and bursting instintly. Others hit the edge of her weapon trying to run away but to no avail, gets sliced in half. Sam stops and quickly looks around for more. Coming out of this cave in a small distance away, more smaller creatures. "More coming from that cave," she calls out to the team as she vanishes. Darting herself behind a tree, she looks to the creatures that were running full front toward the one closes. They would not be alive much longer though... She looks to Griswold who was rallying himself up for the boss. She was getting excited to see how this would turn out...

"Was" Setsuna offers coldly as she appears and slides her katana shut, causing the entirety of the pack to be diced to frozen pieces. Cut to smithereens without even the slightest effort, it was clear that this quest was designed for a much lower level group. A twist of her frame sees her dispersed again, knowing full well that the next on the platter would be the main course. The faster they slaughtered the produced mobs the quicker that they would be able to turn this in. It was a welcome stray from darker thoughts, this small affair. Sam was growing pretty well, and this was not lost on Setsuna either. She saw the seriousness now stemming from the girl, done playing games it seems she was. Strange that such a change seemed to transpire in her blind spot. Back into her hip the katana slides away, ready for another draw to erase all that it came in contact with.

After both girls simply slaughter everything that would rise against them in a blink of an eye, it was pretty obvious that this was not designed for players as strong as they were. Rising from the soil was one just as the first, slightly larger and of a different color scheme. The feigned boss, the one they needed the medicine from. A glance to the others as they dart away, setting up for the attack against it. Now it was just a battle of rates. Griswold recalled that it was a bit difficult to not destroy the drop in the process, that little sprout out of the top of it was what they needed. Curious if they'd get it on the first attempt or have to continue to cut them down to spawn another. Taking a passive stance with his shield held high, waiting for the thing to peel itself out of the soil on its own. He'd need not rush it down first thing.

Shiina eyeballs the fresh spawn as it ruffles the soil around where it sprang up, drawing grooves into the ground as vine like tendrils peel away at the opening making it bigger. "It's kinda pretty." the songstress comments to the color change on its flower and whatnot, making it clearly defined over the others of its type. This was the variant plain and simple, easy to understand. So this was the one they needed the medicine from? Why couldn't she just heal the girl to complete the quest, it worked on players. That song continues to overdrive the group in its volume, casting rings that echo from beneath her feet in pulse like waves. A glance to the rest of her party confirms that none of them were even bothered by the fight yet, they were way too strong for this noise. Meh, cool enough though even though it was like shooting fish in a barrel.

Sam sees the larger plant like creature come from the cave, making weird noises upon finding her little ones no longer in her view. By the looks of it, it was clear that the thing was angry, at this point Sam acts before it does. Vanishing from beside Griswold, she reappears behind the creature, as a gash was already obvious against the plants pod. It pops into data and Sam turns and quickly catches the med pack from the bulb. She looks it over using those merchant skills of hers and smiles. "We got it, now to turn it in." She was surprised that they got it in the first rotation. It could not have been any easier. A glance to where Setsuna was last but was not able to be seen. That would be her soon... She walks to the group with a smile. "Lets go get that girl upright." She begins to walk back where they came from.

An appear and a draw of her mask down returns her name and marker, as her weapon's handle is released. She was prepped just in case it was necessary but it seemed that this was going to be much simpler then it first entailed. An easy success, made this quicker to complete. "Turn the ovule into the woman and the quest is finished." A glance to Shiina and Griswold, who had both played their parts amicably. There was something about being with this group, but that extended to not just them but all of the guild. There was a strength that was almost incomparable in this little formation that Raidou had saw leagues ago. A thought to Alkor's inquiry brought even more confusion, it was undeniable that there was some grand motive. But Setsuna was unsure if this was it. It couldn't have been so simple as making a strong network of individuals that could be slapped together at moments notice and tear through whatever they faced. Could it?

[Griswold 0]

A huff as he slides the mallet into his belt loop, lowering the shield. Just like that, the quest was all but over. Just a turn in and it was, leaving the group a bit of free time. A glance down to the small girl that looked exactly like Anna, and then his eyes swap to Sam. "How about some grub, something to fill yer bellies?" Griswold offered the group. Setsuna begins to walk away. "That includes you, you know?" He tries to include the girl that was always so elusive. This wasn't their first quest together, but even still Griswold knew so little about her. It was strange that it was almost as if he knew that girl the best over the other few. A couple steps toward the child, and a raise of his hand sees it frosted cold. His inner warmth however kept it at bay, as he reached out and placed a solid hand onto her tiny shoulder.

[Setsuna 0]

Setsuna stops her assail away, whisked toward her own devices in solitude. "I-" But the word is completely shut down as a hot hand finds her shoulder. Something about that heat, although it burned felt almost comforting. "Alright." she surrenders into the offer, sliding out of the clutches of the smiths hand. She couldn't take much more of the contact, it simply brought with its fire oh so much pain. Memories of time where such contact wasn't so rare. A glance to the others who seemed almost dumbstruck by her accepting, and with it a slight tinge of embarrassment. "Let's move, I don't want to waste all day doing this. I have other duties at which to attend." She offers a retort to break them out of their stupors.  Taking point from the pack, Setsuna leads them back toward town for the gate and the much larger city on floor 1. During, some would notice the strange lack of distance between her and Griswold.

[Shiina 0]

Shiina replies with a wide smile, watching this heartfelt moment between the two of them play out rather quickly. It was so damn wholesome, but Shiina half expected Setsuna to cut his hand off. That silver haired girl always seemed angry, so it was odd ever seeing her act like a human. "Right, we can get cookies." Shiina adds to the pot as the pairing starts to head out of the forest, ovule in hand and ready to deliver. Once they get in town, Sam makes a detour to hand off the medicine to the ailing mother. The other three just hang out near the fountain waiting for the tall girl to return. Meanwhile images of all sorts of confectionary play through Shiina's head on repeat, with matching little cartoon like faces. She was excited to get to somewhere that sold baked goods. Wiggling a bit in her seat, she couldn't wait to get her hands on some.

Setsuna waits patiently for Sam's return, on the rim of the fountain here in Delilah. Their eccentric attire offering them no respite from prying eyes, looking at the strange high level players who were relaxing on the rim. Paying them little mind other then looking back in their direction once she'd notice them staring. Her gaze shifts to Shiina. "How is it you are always this wound up?" She asks of the songstress, Setsuna had noticed this fact before. There were so many times where the girl had been trapped into some nefarious affair due to her inability to show tact. The girl continued to bounce at the thought of a meal, and Setsuna was sure that if this game had any way of obesity the girl would be rounder then the boulder on this floor. The soft white noise at her back trickled from the structure of stone, pooling in the almost stagnant pool near the base.

A shift of her head toward Setsuna causes their eyes to lock, in a way that hadn't happened until now. Despite the fact they were both in the same division, the girls had never really spoken to one another. For good reason. They were almost polar opposites in how they perceived the world. For Setsuna it was a hell scape, for Shiina it was a wonderland. Setsuna was always serious, and Shiina wasn't ever. "Simple, this is a fun place." Shiina comments back in retort to the silver haired girl made of ice and frosty bits, like a corn flakes in a freezer. The creature in the mist just continued to stare as if that answer was supposed to be larger. "Let me try!" Shiina extrudes recalling the exchange earlier and wraps her arms around Setsuna causing the girl to grimace and jump almost out of her own skin. Man that girl felt like a popsicle.

A sudden jerk as Shiina made a lunge for her, trying to avoid the unwanted embrace out of the blue. But she was too close to the little vice. "I'll stab you if you don't let me go." Setsuna began to try and pry free her arms, this girl was stronger then she ever eluded to be. Her skin was hot, felt as though it would burn right through her. Shiina does not let go, and despite her best efforts Setsuna just cannot get out of her clutches. "This place isn't fun." Setsuna tries to confuse her into a release, but it just causes her to become tighter. How this girl was like an adhesive was so blaring, Setsuna felt trapped in her arms. Unable to function her head begins to swim, and in a way it felt kind of....nice. She couldn't think clearly, as she could feel herself almost fade away into a trance.

A peel of her arms closer, it felt like she was holding an arm full of a frozen pole on a winter day. "Nah, its fun. And it's K, I can out heal your damage." Shiina chuckles as Setsuna continues to worm in her hands. All it does is end up making the girl tighter and tighter. This was kind of fun, she'd never thought about hugging Setsuna before. But it was pretty cool, literally and figuratively. The girl was basically her age, and silently Shiina couldn't help but wonder what she must have been like in school before this game. "We can get lunch, you can do whatever later K? No running away once I let you go." Shiina offered it in a defusal like challenge, knowing full well that Setsuna would see it as such and it was a way of hooking her in. Else she'd flee after being let go.
