[F1-PP-PT] Gotta Catch Them All! (Earning a Living- Fishing)

[Freya 0]

After lifting the heavy box to land Freya continues to get the small picnic set for when Gaius for after he found what he was looking for. It was really entertaining watching him though. The water didn't seem to stop his swiftness either, which made the scene much more enjoyable. At the corner of her eye, she sees the chest just sitting there... With the curve of her lips to the side, as her feet still hung off the edge in the water, she opens the chest rather quickly. Collecting the items and Col inside, she pushes the empty container into water again and watches it sink to the bottom. Taking one of the honey rolls into her hands, as she bites into it and gets splashed a bit before quickly throwing herself overhead so the food did not get wet. Sitting up right now she gives a small chuckle before taking another bite...

Further splashing about and more obvious sword art flashes beneath the deep blue, Gaius is obviously trying. But all he keeps doing is destroying huge packs of fish trying to pinpoint the rainbow trout or whatever that held this gleaming scale on its ass. Whoever's bright idea it was to make some unique variant asshole that he'd need to take down to unlock this stupid skill needed to find a stick to ride. He just wanted to get this shit over with, and yet it seemed no matter how long he was working away at this, his chances remained abysmal. Coming back up for air and attempting again to peer into the lake for dark shades beneath the reflection for masses of fish for him to target. Spotting one, after a quick glance about the surface for that glimmer of a scale, found. "Here we go again." Gaius barks before sliding back into the mess. He was getting absolutely famished.

Down into the water as he eyed the school he had spotted above, bubbles dancing from his mouth. A soft gleam of the rays of sun that pierced from above. Ripping his spear back with haste and serious force, the weapon flies out as a power to be reckoned with. It impales the beast clean through, and it flounders on the edge as the pole arm begins to sink. Gaius rushes toward it and clutches the handle. To the surface with a spray, holding the weapon aloft. The fish explodes and off its back falls a single scale he quickly swipes out of the air. Turning it over in his palm as he shakes his head and gets his hair out of the way. "Fucking Finally!" Gaius screeches as his spear disappears, and he starts to do breast strokes toward the dock that Freya sat upon. To the edge of the dock he heaves himself up, and tosses the damn scale and bait can to the NPC. "There ya go ass." The guy returns it to Gaius, who didn't have a damn clue what to do with it. On his HUD screeches: <<Fishing Skill Unlocked>>

"Sit, take a breather and eat something. After we do, we can go find something to kill. It will help get some of that irritation out of your system." She gives Gaius a smile as she lifts a honey roll toward him. A canister of the tea he likes was also sitting there. The container was keeping it warm so it would be just as tasty. Freya takes her roll and stuffs it in her face as to hold it while she poured a couple cups of the warm tea for them both. Freya leans now on one arm, looking up into the sky, listen to the birds chirp around them and the fish splash above the surface. Putting that fishing pole down to the side of her, it was break time. Taking the roll from her mouth after taking a bite with her other hand. It was peaceful... She started to think about the conversation between them earlier, she would wait for him no matter how long it took. Gaius was worth every second to her, and by action alone, she would show him just that. That he was worth it...

Heaving into the waves from something he'd caught with a newly obtained skill drawing him to it, right into the water. A rattle as he tosses the box up onto the dock, he turns and stares at it still dripping from his chin. "Done, I got it. Working already." taking a roll from Freya, he points a thumb to his soaked face. "Told ya I'd do it, never say never. Did it my way." One heavy bite into the thing in his clutches, it vanishes in mere moments. Looking past the food at the gold trimmed chest, he wasn't really sure what the hell to do with it. The last one of these things he fucked with had a spring-loaded trap in it. But he was a bigger kid now, with stats to boost. He'd been through hell and back, and maybe whatever this thing had under the hood wouldn't be scary anymore. "Yeah, maybe, worth a shot. At least that shits easier."

"Yes, you did, but I never once said never... I knew that you could, it was just a matter of time..." Taking another bite and a small sip of the tea. Freya noticed that Gaius was just staring at the chest, almost like it was going to bite back or something. She started to wonder if there was a small trauma attached to opening one before. Freya begins to realize right then that they don't know very much about each other... They knew one another in this game, but nothing else. If the day came that they were to be more than what they are now... it would have to happen... "So I take it you didn't do much fishing back at home..." She knew Gaius wasn't stupid and that he would catch on to the context of the question. "I didn't, the only thing that makes it fun for me is being here with you. It would be super boring otherwise..."

The cool breeze starts to pick up as she shivers a bit. She was still soaking wet, as was Gaius... She deals with the cold though not wanting to seem like a wimp, as she looks up at the aging sky. They have been out here for a while... Her emotions were on overload right now, but knowing that Gaius put a hold on everything on between them... She wanted to kiss him again soo bad, but she wasn't sure that he would let her... Freya just proceeds to try focusing on the sky while she waits for him to finish up...

Shoving his spear into the slit that held the boxes top affixed to its bottom, Gaius twists and pops it open, using the weapon like a crowbar. Palming the contents as he'd pause for a minute looking what was in it. "Huh, never imagined it." A twist of his head toward Freya "Yeah I suppose so, huh?" A spin of the spear and a final bite shoved into his mouth, he'd look at the blonde and recall that woman that looked like she could have been her mother in that place with Raidou and the spook. "Let's go blow off some steam, yeah?" he shoves the crap he got into his inventory, shoving the bag into his pocket. An extended hand as he docked that weapon behind his right shoulder, he needed to blow of steam for a bit. This fishing shit could take a back burn for now, he'd work more on it in the future.

Hearing the chest click open, she smiles with a turn of her head toward him. An extended hand toward her. "Yea... Lets" as she grabs his hand, pulling her up with no issue at all. They now start to walk toward the gates, as Freya grips his hand just a bit tighter. She was pretty distracted now, for good reason. It would all be okay when the battle started, it was something that she enjoyed, fighting along side Gaius. The way they moved together in combat was crazy in sync, as if they knew exactly what to do at each moment... 

Walking through the warp gate together now as Freya says "Floor 9" as their bodies float into particles through the sky. Their feet hit solid ground and Freya takes a deep breath. "Let's go have fun," she says with a grin as they start walking the trail together. Out the gates as the heat was almost too much, how does Eruda do it... After a moment, fire fiends appear over the lava craters. They were pacing around them now with caution. Freya just grins and peals her new Scythe from her back. Watching their every movement, it begins...

Her weapon glows bright gold as it connects with each connection. The last two hits though, the blade leaks out a deep red mist as it slices clean through. Freya sees this but continues to focus, new weapon, new experiences... The creature cry out in pain as they begin to scatter...

A lunge into the stars, a sweep of wind explodes as he slams into the earth with a vibrant and violent filled polearm. The creatures begin to slide whereas others are tossed from the nexus and are reduced to stardust being torn asunder by the pressure. One manages a sword slash through that typhoon, and Gaius simply takes it with a turned smile to Freya. Somehow it had worked, remembering Kumatetsu and his concern throughout the fight that the thing would focus her. He'd found a way to make them attack him instead. It fucking worked. Ripping the polearm out of the ash and spinning it in a way that forces the mob back away and extracting the blade from his shoulder. The dragoon twists his neck and pops it, spooling the weapon into a blur and peeling the handle behind his right arm underneath. An extended left hand and beckons it with his fingertips, an aura of gale sweeping around him causing crap to swirl around him. "Bring it, I won't go down that easy." as you see his HP start to tick back up on its own. He stole that trick from Eruda and Raidou.

Watching this man fight now, it was very different... Something has shifted... He was more rounded and fluent. Even after being hit by one of the creatures, it did not seem to phase him even a little. Freya glances at the remainder creature that was forced back from the gust of strong winds that Gaius provided. It was choking out blood, hacking, shaking its head before it just evaporates. It was over before it began as her eyes peer to Gaius with a grin on his face. Was this what he was looking for, she knew that at least one of the creatures should have attacked her but couldn't as it dropped dead before it could attempt. She points her weapon downward as she thinks about the previous conversation they had before they fought that huge bear thing... The soul searching is how she phrased it. Freya was unsure what that really meant or even if it was completely possible in a game like this. Knowing that she didn't have all the answers to questions she had of her own demise... Did he...

Gaius recovers 22 HP via Battle Healing

In a very serious demeanor, the wind pressure falls. Something had been driving him practically insane, and although it had only been but a few minutes since the dock, it felt like ages. Lifting his spear sees it dispersed, stored away in a pocket dimension somewhere in his inventory. A few heavy steps toward Freya, seeming almost pained and uncomfortable. Looking at the girl square, slightly anxious written all across his face. "God damn it." He kneels on one knee and reaches into his pocket. Peeling out the ring he had found in that treasure chest, a simple and yet functional band.

"Your dad is going to fucking kill me." he comments as the thing comes into the girl's view, and reaching out and taking her hand a bit forcefully. "You don't have to answer yet, but it's about time we made this shit official." and sliding that thing onto her finger with a soft and yet aggressive shove. "Marry me damn it." His face was flush a bit, and even in his tanned skin you could tell. Gaius had never considered it until then, she was waiting so patiently and he was finally strong enough to protect her from this place. Griswold would have to stand aside, and he'd take that asswhoopin' in strides. As long as it meant that Freya would be by his side.

Forever
