[F22-PP] Refilling Stock (Witch of the West)

[Sam 0]

Sam's hand shifts from shelf to shelf, a little black book, a different one that you're used to seeing in her hands. This particular book has a Gold symbol of the Firm Anima Icon engraved on the cover. Made it herself, who knew she could be so crafty. A scribble here and there, keeping inventory of what they have and what was needed. Walking down the lining of compartments, the witches brew, "Well, we can't have that become empty," saying as she droughts something down. Simmone has been a busy bird, going through these like ice would melt in the sun. "Simmone, I am leaving for a bit. We need some more brews. You care to come with? " Sam's eyes never leave the paper as she tries to decide who would come with. Freya would be an asset to help kill the apes that will be present. The book slams shut as she places it in a drawer in the back room. Grabbing her Axe and a small backpack, pulling it over her head and around her shoulder. A secure place to place the brews when they are collected. 

Sam opens her HUD and sends a mass message through the guild chat.

To: Firm Anima Guild Chat From: Sam Going out to collect items needed for the guild. Whom ever decides to come, be prepared. It's going to be a doozy... Meeting point just outside the Guild Hall.

With the chime of her HUD the message was sent. Grabbing a few items and foods that are needed, "You coming Simmone? " Announcing as she walks out the door.

With the last of his reports received and processed, Freyd was eager to leave the guild hall for a while.  Agents supporting O&I had gradually been spread to every floor and corner of Aincrad and it was increasingly time-consuming to process all of the data they collected.  

"I'm becoming a bureacucrat, Persi.  How the hell did that happen?!"

His tiny shadow-mongoose companion was too busy to acknowledge his griping, playfully chasing fruit flies that had gathered around a plate of half-eaten something-or-other left on a nearby table.   Somehow, the timer on the food had lasted long enough for it to proc a spawn of the miniscule pests.  His mind immediately jumped to Shiina, who seemed to secrete mysterious substances in her wake everywhere she went.  Nabbing the plate, he tossed it into a nearby bin and shut the lid.

"Janitor.  Right."  Muttering the words alleviated his need to complain.  He'd dubbed himself by the same title and could hardly complain that it occasionally meant taking out the literal trash.

Another message pinged.  Sam?  She'd recently joined O&I's ranks, but he hadn't seen much of her since the Shadow's fall.  This could be a good way to test her mettle.

To: Sam From: Freyd I need a break from paperwork.  Count me in.  Where are we headed?  I guarantee that I have a dungeon map for whatever floor it's on.  Time for you to show me what you can do.

Freya wakes in a sweat from the chime of her HUD... Her eyes peal open staring at the ceiling. Takes a deep long breath as she pulls her HUD up eyeing the time. It was rounding noon... "Damn it..." At this point Gaius would have already been up about doing his own thing in thing. She had been a sleep for a long while, but given what happened just last night, it made sense. Sitting up now feeling a bit stiff she opens her messages and finds one in the guild chat from Sam... Ko hops on the bed and just sits there staring at the side of Freya's face. Glancing down she smiles, giving her a pat on the head. After last night, she knew that Tuatha was not going to be an issue. He was her savor, and for that she was eternally thankful that he had kept her alive and restored what she lost. Tuatha gave Freya her life back. Picking Ko up now she walks downstairs and brews some coffee up and pours it into a to go cup. Grabbing a few things from the vault that was kitty corner from her building, leaving Ko with Boris after feeding them both, she heads to the meeting point. Setting up a meal next to Sam's for it to be feasted on she starts gnawing on what was provided. "Where are we going today Sammy," talking with her mouth slightly full.

A hard rough breath, trees timbering down around her from burning flames. Sitting on the ground watching bursting creatures evaporate into nothing. Sword and shield lying on either side, Raserei curls into a ball at her feet, her breath too was hard to the exhale. She was training, has been all day, since the sun began to rise. Sizzling flames around her go out, as a chime from her HUD echoes in the dimming silence. Looking at her HUD, Sam, the witch that had to be killed for more materials. She smiles, she knew fairly well that she had never actually fought this creature before but she was ready. Closing her HUD she glances down at her wolf. "You ready to go have some fun," as she scratches behind the ear. Raserei coos and gets to her feet. She had a very large breakfast and knew that the others would bring more to compensate for the buffs needed. Getting to her own feet, picking her blade and shield up, she was just in the forest outside the guild hall. Peering just outside the tree line so that the others could see her, leaning against a tree. Anyone that was looking in that direction would see her...

It was obvious that Simmone was not tagging along, but it was fine. Meeting Freya's eyes with a smile, as a message from Freyd comes in. Quickly reading it and nodding, "In time, lets wait for the rest to show." Right then she glances at where they were to be heading off to and finds Eruda leaning against the tree. "Another dps and a tank, waiting on Freyd now." Taking out a book now as she starts to scribble a few notes. "Haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?" She knew that the question was really bland, but if Freya had any brains, she would know exactly what that question was aimed toward. Sam was still scared of Freya from what happened, but she chose to hide it. It was not something that should matter if she was trying so hard to work with Freya in battle. Not making eye contacted anymore, she looks to the blue wolf that approached the group. Leaning down, she pats the wolf on the head...

Seeing Freyd come into view now she looks to Eruda and back at the other 2. "I found this book in the misty forest. It's new by all standards, but the witch quest chimed up when I took it into my hands. Lets go find the hall of which the creatures will spawn. Kill them, then the witch." With an explanation of what needed to be done, she starts heading toward the marker.

Someone had left a loose oddly-decorated book on the stoop, far from whatever forlorn shelf was surely missing its presence. 

"Always picking up after the kids."  A sigh filtered through smirked lips, cloaked beneath a cowl of fine, charcoal-coloured wool.

The Whisper had snared it upon his exit, meaning to return it to its proper place, but their promised meeting point was so close that it took him no time at all to meet up with the rest of their party. The Cathedral of the Lost was already nestled in the Forest of Memories, after all.  Eruda, Sam and Freya were waiting for him when he approached, his nose barely visible between the cowl and open cover, and then the root struck.  Or, rather, he struck it and went flying.  The book did too.  Pages spilled out from its poorly bound spine and rained down all about the four of them before an aberrant gust of wind swirled all around the spun air about them into a flurry.  It only got worse from there.  What should have been one of those awkward trip-and-spill moments instantly turned into a frightful near-disaster as the pages whipped themselves into a frenzy of ever-growing force and intensity.  All were spun and forced to close their eyes to spare themselves the risk of blindness as sheets flew by at speeds that could put some cars to shame.  

When things cleared, and they could open their eyes once more, the scenery had drastically changed from moments prior.  It was familiar, though, and consistent with their originally intended destination.  A tower, dark and brooding, clung precariously to a nearby rocky precipice.  Flying primate with wings dotted the sky, looking like the remnants of the maelstrom that had just borne them all here.

"Huh," Freyd sputtered with a semblance of realization.  "They changed the quest intro."

[Freya 0]

As the group starts making their way up to the already known tower, walking close to Freyd, "You do realize that books work better when they are hinged to the bind right," she says with a small chuckle. Just the whole scene was amazing and seeing Freyd fall on his face was refreshing. The terror in every ones eyes when they thought of the pure notion of a paper cut. It was the worse. The magic that was suppose to be from the now torn book, the tornado never showed... Good, she really rather walk anyway. The only gust of wind she ever wanted would be from Gaius. Freyja smiles at this thought. As they arrive at the tower, the mist around was deep, through the fog though you could hear the screeching monkey's coming from the tower. Close enough to the tower now, the noise was mere meters from them, looking to Eruda, "You mind giving me a boost?" Eruda smiles ever so slightly as she raises her shield and gets to one knee. Freyja gets a running jump, lands on Eruda's shield for just a moment before Eruda catapolts her twin into the air, not sure where to aim through the mist. Freyja's scythe glows bright as the battle has only begun... It one swoop to the side everything in the air was gone even before they realized she was right there... Freyja lands on her feet, bent over with a hand to the ground. Turning quickly to Sam with a grin, "Match that," as a taunt toward her, wanting to see what Sam was capable of.

Sam just glares at Freya, knowing that her damage was matched in different ways than just base. Disappearing into the mist Sam gets into the large tower and is dove down by one of the crazy monkey's, Dodging just barely she knew that is was a missed opportunity, as she looks up at the others who are diving at the same pace. Smashing her Ax head into one, as she spins, the other two follows suit and is met by their friend who was still attached. As they cry out in pain and are smashed against the interior of the building, they burst into data. Sam glances to the remaining creature, that landed behind her. A glare toward Freya now who was entering the building with the other 2. In that moment she vanishes from all eyes, pissed... Everyone has always though of her as a weak link, she was to prove them all wrong. She knew that she could do the damage, and that she was good enough. She wanted to prove to her new captain that she was worth the work put into her...

Feathers and bellhop caps rained from the sky to the captain's great satisfaction.  Sam and Freya were wreaking a more than satisfactory level of havoc.

"They've both come far," he said aloud, for Eruda's benefit.  "You have too.  I've seen you in action more often recently.  It seems fair to say that we're both a long way from our first outing against the Hoya."  A small grin graced the edge of his lips as the cowl turned her way.  It nodded on the Whisper's behalf as he vanished into the cloud of feathers-turned-to-fractals.  "Raidou is proud of you."

Hope and pride invested, he moved ahead, keen to add his own unique brand of mayhem to the fray.  There.  The pack of larger ones.  They would do nicely.  Dashing between shadowy copies of himself, he made it impossible for them to know which assailant carried the true threat.  The answer was surprisingly simple: they all did.  Two of the witch's burlier guards found that out the hard way.  A third was spared when one of its frailer brethren fell from above, interposing itself between Freyd and his target at the last second.  The smaller simian took the hit, instead, exploding into a cloud of digital death.  

"Breach the tower at multiple points.  Keep her guessing and we'll have her down in no time.  Eruda, want to make us a proper entrance?"

Entering the room now, seeing the creatures slamming into the walls, exploding like confetti. Freya says something that turns the tables in Sam's mind. She would allow it to slide for now simple because she wanted to see how Sam would react. Not seeing the remainder monkey, she glances around trying to find this creature. Her flames begin to boil beneath her feet. Right then the flying beast flies toward her, catching Eruda's shield as raises it up. The crazed monkey gives a demented laughter that echoes within the interior, grabbing her shield now that was not yet lit. Staring face to face with this creature now, Eruda hits it hard in the head with the bottom of her hilt. "HEY YOU PIECE OF SHIT," Freya comes slamming into the creature at full force, causing it to surrender the shield and fling straight to the towers wall. When Eruda glances to her twin, she was leaking out black mist from her body, and her green eyes had a slight golden yellow rimmed around them. Freya darts forward to finish the job... 

Eruda was suppose to be protecting everyone but somewhere along the way... She didn't realize just how much her own sister had changed... RIght now, she couldn't figure out if that was a good or bad thing...

The moment the creature lands against the wall Freyja is right there is a crashing halt causing the monkey to intend into the wall before her scythe is against it's neck. Something was most certainly different... Better... Controlled... "No touchy" saying as she forces her scythe into it's throat with her other hand. Data from both her hand and the now dying creature spray out as she watches the terrier on the poor things face... Freyja was rather enjoying this feeling as she pushes one last time, her scythe connecting to the wall as the creature vanishes in front of her. A soft inhale of that feeling, as she stares at wall for only a moment before swishing around, flinging her weapon out to her right side, looking up the winding stair chase, "Your time for hiding is over, get down here and face what is coming," Freyja says in a very serious crazed sounding voice. The sounds of creaking above them now... Freyja looks to Freyd with a grin, "It's time for the real fun to begin." Staring at the stairs again, watching, waiting...

Sam hides in the dark corner, within the black mist bleeding from Freya's frame. She was pissed still but that would not stop her in this battle. It couldn't, not after all the hard work Eruda had put into trying to make equal grounds for both Freya and Sam. She would show that she could push all those emotions away and do what had to be done. It was the only way to get the proper respect that she had wanted for oh soo long. Sam knew that her new captain was watching her too. Needing to make every hit count... Hearing the creaking above, she waits for that moment, she was not going to dive into it alone, she was way past that point... After a moment of the Witch taking her sweet time getting down the stairs, the long black curled hair pouring against her face as she enters everyone view. The Witch does nothing but stare at the group, taking in her enemies. At that very moment, a flash of light before Sam is behind her with her Ax head inserted in the length of the spine. She cries out in pain as lights in all sorts of colors illuminate from Sam's weapon. Removing the blade with a splash of red data following before the abomination falls to the ground, paralyzed... Watching her fall as static give the notion that paralyze had come into effect... It worked, it really work. Her eyes flash to Freya now, "Beat that," as she quickly switches her weapons out and disappears into the mist once more.

Surveying the scene through narrowed eyes, Freyd was pleased.  Competence and confidence were powerful traits, and all three of these guild members had achieved them both.  It shone through Eruda's bearing as she strode forward into the Witch's chamber, completely unafraid of what she might face.  Her strength was known, her steel tempered along with her nerves.  Freya's demons now fueled her passions instead of suppressing them.  She had learned to trust in them - in the strength that Tuatha had fostered within.  All the creepy aspects aside, the dead man had done her some big favours and a lot of good.  Now, she just needed to realize how much of that power was already hers.  Sam's stealthy strike was an unexpected bonus.  He only knew her as the tall-yet-mousy shopkeeper whom he'd once mistaken as Simmone, but she, too, had come along.  Firm Anima was finally here: a mature guild ready to rock the floating castle from one end to another.

"Good," he said, plainly.  The simple acknowledgement carryied meaning weighted in the measure of mountains.  They could take care of themselves, which meant that he needn't worry about them in any supervisory capacity.

Time for some fun?

A wry grin spread across the Whisper's pallid lips.

The Witch was still reeling, tumbling down her own flight of stairs like a statue after Sam's paralyzing strike.  Eruda had the main entrance covered and the other two women had her flanked between them.  The Witch was already dead, but hadn't quite realized it yet.  All other aspects being covered, Freyd thought he'd just take the side door, or make one.  Partially obscured by Freya's own seeping black contrails, he circled around the side of the tower to line up his shot.  

Already panicked about the sudden turn of events, death of her guards and invasion of her boudoir, the mob couldn't even scream in outrage, given her current predicament.  It only got worse as she watched the walls of her tower cave in and she saw some gloom-ridden madman rushing at her wielding a hole in the fabric of the universe.

Very impressed by the 3 of them, the witch was nearly done for. It could not move, face against the wood floor and her arms were in a pretzel. It looked like it would hurt. Eruda failed her last attack, she decides to do what she knows. Eyeing the beast of sorts, she takes a page out of her fathers book. She stomps her foot as hard as she can against the ground, right them blue flames ignite it a large burst around them. Crates lite as the door to the building is crashes to the outside grassed area. Her eyes glow with fury as she takes her foot and pushes the body upward forcing it to lay of her back. "You keep coming here, it does not matter what new tricks you have, you will die the same way every time. At the hands of Firm Anima, you will not be aloud to stay alive..." The witches eyes widen at these words, as data of various colors spray out of her already inflicted wounds. She knew what was coming... Her hand begins to move to a pocket of hers as the effects begin to wear off... At the corner of her eye she sees Freya...

The witch brings out a potion slowly, as her paralyze slowly wore, she began to be allowed to move. Freyja would not allow that to happen though, the potion or movement, as she crunches down the witches wrist swiftly to the ground causing the hand to release that vial. Kicking the purple liquid away, grabbing her by the neck, picking her almost limp body from the ground. Freyja right then charges toward the wall and smashes the thing into the rocked interior, still holding her neck as she stares into the other set of eyes. Freyja's green outlined yellow gold eyes glow slightly as a demented smile forms across her face. Saying nothing just staring as the witch shook from pure fear knowing that this was the end... Others could see the black mist pour from her frame, covering the ground is black. Freyja pushes herself back, pulls her scythe to the left while in her right and slices clean through the body upward. Both halves drop to the ground before the boss explodes into red data. After a few moments she stands up straight and clears her throat, turning to the group. "So whose hungry," as she puts her weapon on her back and begins placing honey rolls and thermal canisters across the table that was surprisingly not touched. Everything beautifully made herself before this. The mist had long faded as Freyja's demeanor completely changes... Control...

The charge was purely RP, not actually used...

Sam suddenly appears in front of the vial, but couldn't take her eyes off Freya. Something was hugely different about the girl, she looked as though whatever was inside her was at bay or she finally took complete control of whatever it was. Sam was still terrified though. Afraid to speak about it... She was trying so fucking hard to forgive Freya for what she had done all those months ago but it was hard for her... Picking up the vial and throwing it against the ground causing it to shatter, glowing purple for a moment before is was just a pool of liquid on the ground. Eruda and Freyd attend to the girls lunch, Sam takes a deep breath and takes a roll. Walking to the foot of the stairs, she sits. They were acting like everything was fine, like nothing happened. Did they know something that she did not. It was bothering her not knowing as she glances to the roll.

Freya sees Sam disoriented and walks over to her with a coffee cup, tin... Freya sits next to Sam on the stairs now and begins to speak. "I was lost, stuck and disturbed. My path was fickle and I was blinded by the maybe's and what if's in my life. What you two saw that day was the beginning of my life that I couldn't come to terms with yet." She glances to Eruda knowing that even though her sister had come to realize what she was, she still feared her ever so slightly. That day had a major impact on them all... At this point Eruda came to stand next to them as Freya talked. "I am fully aware of everything I am now. From here on out it will be different, I am different and I can promise you both with a crossed heart that no harm will fall upon you guys by me alone. I am in full control now and I intend to prove that as long as you need it," Freya now looks to Freyd knowing damn well he knew exactly what she was referring to. "I will not apologize again because that day what the start of who I have become today. You can trust me though, both of you and I would put my life on the line for any one of you for those words alone..." Freya at this point hands the cup to Sam.

"I believe you," Sam says with a smile. Those words really hit her, deep. Sam was too coming to terms with what she was capable of, she was sure that everyone in this room was. It they could, she would too...

Freyd watched the exchange, comfortable amidst a background of silence and shadows.  He knew enough of the tension between these three not to stray into the middle of it.  They needed closure.  Whether this moment proved sufficient would be decided at a later date, but it made for good progress.  O&I, indeed, all of Firm Anima, could only function if its members were in sync - nonsensical ramblings and quirks aside.  The image of Shiina running screaming into the room, whacking someone in the face and somehow revitalizing their energy reserves before vanishing out a window came to mind.  It didn't actually happen, but would somehow have been at home for this odd cast of characters, himself included. 

Freya's finish was a bit over the top, and might hurt her efforts to earn trust, but he'd be a hypocrite to comment on it after the assorted mish-mash of gruesome combat moves he'd whipped out in the past.  Sometimes, pushing a bit too far reminded you where the limits were.  Plus, he really couldn't fault her for wanting to enjoy her growing strength. 

"Two of you?!  What am I, chopped shadow-liver?  Shouldn't you be trying to convince me to trust you too?  You're all mad!  Competent, but mad!"  The grin on his face made the jest plain as day.  They'd done well and deserved the praise.   An extra, cowled nod was reserved for Sam, who still seemed uncertain of herself, despite demonstrated prowess.  Grabbing a honey cake, he turned to a tangent and chose to abscond with this outing for his own purposes.

"Good.  Now that the warmup is done, gather your wits and cinch up your belts and bustiers.  It's time for the real test to begin."

Stomping hard on a broken floor board sent a nearby rug flying in fear and exposed a trap door leading below.  Arching an eyebrow, the Whisper snarfed half his treat in a single bite, daring any of them to back down from the challenge.

Rest 1/2

Pulling Freya into a hug now, it was a bit awkward with her sitting, but Freya stood to make it easier. "You know that's my job, don't go getting yourself killed. I would really hate you for it..." With the twins arms around each other, Eruda closed her eyes. Even with all the fighting and the ignoring that Freya did toward her, she still felt like she was the one that was supposed to apologize. She thought that when Freya went missing, it was just another attempt of Freya resorting to her old ways. When Eruda started to see phantom messages was when she really started to freak out. It was a twin thing, but Eruda had thought the worst before she thought the obvious which made her mad. Eruda did not once ever not trust Freya, she was just scared for her not of her. Scared how everything would turn out for her sister. 

Freyd's comment though made her chuckle a bit as a trap door was revealed. They were all a little mad, being in this game would do that to you she guessed... Eruda was the first to hop in the doorway, as she stood at the bottom waiting for the others...

Seeing Eruda hop through, looking to Freyd with a slight turn of the head. It seemed that he had a few tricks up his sleeves. Taking a deep breath and letting everything soak it, she would stay silent for now. Her trust for Freya was starting to grow, but it was still not there yet for Sam. Time is what she really needed, a lot of shit has happened lately for her and she needed to get her head wrapped around everything before focusing on one thing. For being so organized in her shop, her brain was no where near that. Lium existing again send her through a loop, and joining O&I like right away was ever weirder for her. She was not not to share her feeling with others, but maybe she needed to start and talk her confusion out loud. It could help but for now... It was go time. Sam takes another deep breath and hops through the hole with Eruda. Disappearing into the dark, she was unsure where to go from here so she would wait in the shadows...

Rest 1/2

"UUUGGGG" she says, sitting on the stairs again and leaning back... " What does a girl gotta do to get even a smidge of trustin around here..." Staring at the ceiling for a moment before hopping to her feet. Chugging her coffee on the table, it was a bit hot but she didn't care... Walking Freyd's side with a grin. Standing face to face with him now with a smirk, "You know just as well as me that we are way past that trusting thing. We have been through waaayyy too much. Plus, it is me who should be second guessing. I mean, come on... You know pretty much everything about me, I only just found out your real name... What else are you hiding shadow boy??" Freyja says this in a playful mocking voice with a brow raised... "Regardless" she says as she turns away... "I love the challenge, keep me guessing, just you wait. I will get through that shield you've placed eventually. Just you watch..." Freyja knew that deep down that friend had some issues that were not being shared and she hoped that one day he could open completely and share the unsaid. She would wait though... He was worth it... Giving Freyd a soft hug now she whispers in his ear. "Thank you," as she quickly pulls away and hopes in the hole as well...
