It was dark and gloomy, but that wasnt saying much for the fourteenth floor. This place never changed, it was static in its depressive nature. It would be a stretch to say that Hakai liked this floor, but more often than not the atmosphere matched her general mood. It seemed her sour aggressively sarcastic personality tended to push others away from her, so as usual she was alone. Once again, it would be a bit of a stretch to say that Hakai liked being alone, but more often than not that was how she ended up. She had only really gotten close to one person in this game, and that had been both by accident and a miracle, and that person was dead. Then she had trusted a 'friend' with her weapon of choice on the condition that he give it back when he was done using it, only for him to trade it away and refuse to make things right. That had been a fair while ago, but with nothing having happened in the meantime to sway her view, it was safe to say that her faith in others was practically nonexistent at this point. Screw all of them, she would get stuff done on her own.

Her combat boot collided violently with the surface of the soot covered rock beneath her with a thud, sending dust flying up beneath her. She could hear it, the scraping of mechanical parts and the whirring of the cogs. Prey. Her fingers wiggled impatiently beside her, an outlet for the excess energy rushing through her. The calm before the fight was always the best and worst part. Every detail seemed to enhance, every noise was twice as loud as before. Scarlet lightning crashed through the air behind her as her restless hand finally wrapped around the woven grip of her katana. "You ready for this kid?" She called out seemingly to the air. There was a loud snap, the sound of whirring mechanisms reaching a new, heightened volume. 

She laughed, a loud, careless, crazed laugh. "Not you dumbass!" Her voice broke through, directed at the hunk of machinery underneath the ledge she was on. "I'm talking to him." There was a hiss as the diamond shaped head of her familiar slithered out from her sleeve where it had coiled itself like some sort of strange ornate bracelet.

A moment later the woman flipped off the edge, the sound of metal on sheath ringing out in the air as her katana separated from holster and tearing through the mechanical monstrosity in one clean motion as though it was made of paper. "These guys are small fry for sure." She commented to her snake having landed on her feet facing away from the enemy.

Bonk...

Hakai felt the metal fist smack into her head, sending her stumbling on the rust colored dirt beneath them. It appeared the enemy still had some fight left.

She twirled around, katana held at the ready. The scarlet edge of the blade glimmered in the dim red light, seeming almost covered in blood. Now that she was looking at it the machine almost had a strange sort of beauty, underneath the layers of rust and dirt. There was a loud clicking as the mechanical construct raised its fists again, preparing to close in on her. Yeesh, couldn't it just let her enjoy the view for a bit? The way the cogs turned, entwined with each other under a shell of intricate metal netting was fascinating and she couldnt help but spend another moment admiring the workmanship. As the machine started to swing at her she sighed. That was enough of that. Despite finding the inner working of the machine intriguing she had work to do and while she could take more hits from the machine she was here to train her familiar, not learn to be an engineer. Her blade swished through the air twice, the mech golems fists falling to the earth with a thud.

"Huh..." The words were uttered quietly as Hakai inspected the creature wrapped around her arm. "You're supposed to do something. Like find me a chest or a dungeon. You feel me?" She attempted to explain to the snake, feeling very stupid as she did it. That was just how this game worked though. She crossed her arms, the snake happily coiling around and over them. She leaned up against towering rock that was jutting out of the ground, getting comfortable. The woman locked eyes with the snake, and a battle of wills seemed to ensue. It was only after a minute that Hakai remembered that snakes dont have traditional eyelids, and her little friend completely lost interest and went back to slithering around her forearms. "C'mon, you gotta at least try. And if you dont want to find treasure thats fine, but you gotta do something. All the other familiars do, you dont want to be the odd one out, right?" The gold snake cocked its head at her, its tongue slithering out of its mouth as it hissed. She couldnt tell if that was agreement or a disrespectful gesture. If it had a personality that was anything like hers it was probably both.

Yeah, no, that was definitely not agreement. The ginger woman sighed, picking up the snake and gently placing it over her shoulders like some kind of weird living scarf. The two of them had a good relationship, or at least as good as one could have with a woman like Hakai. The snake kept her silent company and didnt bother her at all, but let its presence be known occasionally by its movements. The thing was always wrapped around one of her limbs, small enough to not be visible, at least not easily, which was yet another plus. She reached out and booped its head gently. The time had come for it to be more then just silent company, she wanted some stat boosts, but she wasnt going to push it too hard. Despite everything she did kind of care for it, as hard as that was to admit. She had been through some tough times with it, so she was hesitant to push it too hard for some negligible game bonuses.

There was a crunch in the dirt to her left behind the boulder, jarring the young woman out of her thoughts. She shifted, standing up straight now and raising her katana once again. There wasnt a whole lot of room or time to relax on this floor in particular, the monsters seemed to spawn everywhere constantly. There were some spots where they were a little less common, places that Hakai tended to frequent, but she figured that this quest of sorts was better done around enemies. More chanced to train her familiar to do... something. She meandered forward, around the side of the boulder, coming face to face with her latest mechanical acquaintance. She had been hoping for a demon or something, but this seemed to be a hotspot for these steampunk machinations. No big deal. Her blade whistled through the air as she slashed at the golem, blade colliding with its fist, both of them mid attack. "Tchh." She vocalized in frustration. They had blocked each other. She wanted to get this over with already.

She shoved off, pushing the mechs fist back and gathering a little more space for her to maneuver. The tip of her foot drew a little circle in the blood colored dirt underneath them as she adjusted her stance, preparing to unleash another attack of some kind. Steam hissed from the mech's exhaust as it started to charge, the ground quaking with each step. She could see the motion she wanted in her minds eye, but it was pushing her limits for sure. Could she make it happen?

Shit, it was too late to think about it anymore, now was the time to do. She balanced on the balls of her feet, leaping as high as she could as the golem swung at her, the fist flashing underneath her in the dim red light of the floors sun. She only had a moment. There was a loud clang as the heel of her boot slammed into the tip of the golems fist, sending it stumbling forward and her into yet another graceful leap. She twirled mid air, fingers calmly closing around the handle of her blade and slashing mid flip, landing lightly on her feet behind the mech. She didnt even need to look, she knew she had somehow pulled off that feat of acrobatics. Having learned her lesson from earlier she spun around, blade raised defensively.

It seemed she was still giving these metal abominations more credit than they deserved. The construct, stunned from the blow, was lying face first on the ground. It wasnt dead, but it had been thoroughly embarrassed by the ginger swordswoman. As far as Hakai was concerned this mob and all the other players could eat dust just like that. The machine pushed itself to its feat, and action that Hakai as mildly impressed at. If this wasnt a VR game should would have been impressed at the engineering, but as it stood it was just some fancy animation, a concept that was way easier than what she was supposed to imagine was happening. Time to teach this enemy its place. While it definitely wasnt the smartest move, Hakai liked to toy with her enemies, make them feel hopeless. She marched over to the mech as it struggled to stand up in time, raising her katana like a baseball bat and smashing it into the mechs face in a vicious uppercut, sending the enemy flying backwards onto its back with a loud crash. It sparked, unable to move for a moment.

She giggled to herself, a crazed look on her face. It didn't matter how she acted out here by herself. There was no one to make uncomfortable, no one to freak out, she could just let the crazy out. In a time in her life when everything seemed out of her control it was moments like these where she actually managed to feel like she was in charge. The fears that plagued her in her day to day life faded away, and it was just her, and the enemy cowering underneath her. As it should be.

She took a while to gloat, strolling over to the brass colored mech, her katana over her shoulder nonchalantly. Its gears whirred slowly as it lay there helplessly. Poor thing. She wanted to put it out of its misery, but that would just be too easy. With a final burst of steam from its pipes the machine blasted forward at her, its fist slamming into her leather breastplate. She stood there and took the hit. Just a wounded defeated enemy lashing out with its final breath. Typical. She wished it would just accept its fate and let her carve it up for her amusement, but it wasnt in its programming she supposed. She took a halfhearted swing at it, missing by a hairs breadth in an attempt to provoke the machine again. If it wanted to struggle she would let it. It would only make it hurt more in the end.

That was enough of that. Its struggle was in vain anyway and she was getting bored of this. It felt good, yeah, but knowing she was doing it to some code took some of the fun out of it. Originally this game had been supposed to be some kind of therapy for her violent impulses, and it probably would have worked as an outlet but after all this time she was desensitized to the violence; and not in a good way. She wanted the high of combat that she used to feel and that wasnt easy to achieve anymore. She sighed, her blade flashing as she finished off the mechanical construct. Boring. That was how she would describe that fight. No stakes, and the pain she was inflicting was fake anyway. And now that she looked at it the loot this time was trash too.

She waved her hand at the pile of scrap. "See that? Find something, i don't even care what at this point, anything is progress." The snake slithered off her arm, plopping down into the rust red dirt with a gentle thud, wiggling over to the machines corpse, if you could call it that. A few moments later it slithered its way back to her, a brass cog in its mouth. The mech's body shattered into crystals a moment later, the cog going with it. "Good job. Next time try for something a little more useful though."

The woman smiled a rarity for her, reaching down to her animal companion and allowing it to coil around her arm, hissing and slithering its way back up into her sleeve. Her constant state of depression, frustration, and distrust of others really got to her sometimes, but just having her familiar with her was sometimes all of the comfort that she needed to feel normal, even in the face of everything going on in this game. There was a crunch behind her, and a low groan. Another enemy, showing up right as she finished with the last one. She sighed, katana drawn confidently in front of her. And undead this time, of the group of NPCs that ran the main settlement on this floor. She definitely looked prepared to deal with it, but before she could even swing her sword the thing had leapt on her, snarling and drooling, teeth sinking right into her shoulder. She shoved the man off of her with a animalistic snarl. He was going to get it now.

She slashed her katana in front of her, the sharp blade making a whistling sound as it cut through the air. She was annoyed that this creature had gotten the jump in her, but now wasnt the time to give in to her emotions. She needed to focus on the fight ahead of her, despite the fact that she wasn't all that scared of this zombie soldier. These enemies tended to show up one after another, and she'd rather not lose a lot of health or energy playing around anymore. That had been three mobs in a row that had tried to jump her, and despite being so strong she could get worn down. Best not to let it get even close to that. Her foot slid in a half circle in front of her, balancing on the balls of her feet lightly. In a flash she shot forward, swinging her blade with the intention to decapitate her enemy. The thing  howled at her and dashed forward in the same moment, mouth slamming shut... right on her katana blade, stopping it in its tracks. 

Hakai wrenched her sword out of its mouth, stepping back a step or two. That was not normal, in fact, that was freaky as hell. Had it blocked her sword on purpose with its mouth? It was supposed to be an unthinking monster...
