[PP-F3] <<Earning a Living>> (Ruri) (Complete)

[Raidou 1]

Raidou follows the information on the slip of paper he received from the <>, landing on Floor 3. The paper tells him that he needs to seek out an elven village, not continuing to read Raidou beats a path to the village eager to finally make some kind of progress, after all this was game he was just getting the hang of. Reaching town Raidou returns to his paper, "Talk to the NPC's there to find your Alchemist Trainer" Raidou begins to sink. Raidou starts to despair over having to talk to people to complete his <> and decides to give up.

[Raidou 1]

Raidou gets up to his feet, and proceeds to walk out of the village. Upon reaching the archway he runs into something, knocking him off balance. Raidou begins to hop on one leg trying to regain his footing, after 3 unsuccessful hops, he falls on his face.

[Raidou 1]

Raidou scrambles to his feet, and begins to bow to whoever he ran into begging for forgiveness. Looking up at her he notices the blue hair and assumes its Haine and begins to run back into town. Raidou begins to talk to the elves finding his mentor, not wanting to make Haine mad.

[Ruri 0]

After seeing the person who had tripped on her suddenly move to his feet and run back to town, she sighed and moved after him. She looked around having lost the one who she chased, she sighed. "Why does this always happen to me..." She had spoke as she looked around a bit attempting to find him. "Hello?" She spoke as she had finally managed to find the man again. "My name's Ruri!" She grinned as she looked towards the man who had tripped on her.

[Raidou 1]

"I know Haine, I'm Trying" Raidou says jumping from NPC to NPC. After a few moments, what was said finally clicks into place "Ruri?" as Raidou turns around to notice his new companion. Raidou begins to bow again, apologizing to her for mistaking her for someone else. One of the Npcs he bothered moved to Raidou and began to bark orders at him, "Raidou you will need to gather herbs, look for the moss-swine that dwell here".

[Ruri 0]

"Umm... Haine is my sister... but it's okay." She smiled lightly before turning towards the NPC. "Will do, mam!" She spoke before looking along the ground and not really sure how to really find herbs but only hoped they were somewhere around here. After wondering around aimlessly looking at the ground she looked over to Raidou. "Any idea of where to find the herbs?" She asked him unsure what she had really been doing at first.

[Raidou 1]

Raidou now with an ally against his will, he starts to stammer realizing he was trapped struggling to letting out a single word "W-well all w-we would need to do is find a pig and f-follow it." Raidou scrambles to his feet and begins to walk out into the floor, seeming to be running but flips around suprising Ruri looking back at her to wait.

[Ruri 0]

She giggled a tiny big as he stammered, grabbing him with her arm she grinned, walking forward. "Lets go get these herbs Friend!" She grinned not really sure if he had a name at all, she continued walking towards the open floor. "Lets go!" A slight giggle escaped from her as she continued to skip around attempting to find the small herb plants, not so sure where they would exactly be located.

[Raidou 1]

Raidou comes to notice he was being rude, not even telling her anything to call him by, "R-raidou" he slips out. Looking out in the warm environment Raidou spots a large forest denser then the one hes been in on Floor 2, and makes way for it knowing that Species of Lamiaceae hide in the tree line in the real world.

[Ruri 0]

She grinned following her friend by the name 'Raidou' into the forest. The green leaves falling from above and the green surroundings very nature like. The many assortments of leaves above them and below them she grinned sprinting after her friend as she hoped to keep up with him. her bluenette hair swinging behind her as she ran towards Raidou and managed to keep up at the same pace. "So... any idea of where we're going?" the bluenette asked him a light smile on her face as she looked over to him.

[Raidou 1]

Raidou continues to walk into the forest. The emerald trees are in good season, a lustrous color. Raidou glancing about sees just about nothing, except bits and pieces of self-heal, "the game seems to follow logic pretty well" Raidou says. The bluenette hair standing behind him preys on Raidou's mind, reminding him she was there and he blushes, a bit embarrassed by his words. "So... any idea of where we're going?" Raidou hears, and he proceeds to point at the trail of half-eaten herbs.

[Ruri 0]

She turned toward Raidou to see a light red blush across his face. Small giggles coming from Ruri as she turned to him. Looking around the forest she sees many half-eaten herbs and small plant life. A grin still spread across her face as she continued to walk on the dirt trail. "Yeah, Sword Art Online has much detail as well.." She commented knowing that he might've talked about it before as well.

[Raidou 1]

Raidou continues to beat the path ahead, following the trail of half-eaten herbs. Raidou hears a bit of snorting, and jumps behind a nearby tree. Glimpsing from behind the tree, Raidou sees a moss-swine. Looking at Ruri seriously, "We have 2 options", he continues "We can kill them and try to harvest the herbs from them, or we can follow them and they will lead us to more."

[Ruri 0]

"Let's follow them." She nodded letting Raidou lead since he seemed to have more knowledge about them then her. She never really knew how to become an alchemist, it would be interesting to see how others would become the profession. Following him with small pitter-patter of footsteps she snuck behind a tree following the creatures.

[Raidou 1]

Raidou follows closely behind the creatures, hoping from tree to tree. Without noticing the creature had flipped around, Raidou steps out to early, it noticed him and walked away continuing on its path disregarding Raidou entirely. Raidou takes notice and stops trying to hide from the creatures, noticing that they don't really care if we are following or not. Coming to the end of the path, the pigs stop and sniff at the ground.

[Ruri 0]

She had followed Raidou until he ended up in the middle of the entire path. "What're you doing?" She asks Raidou before continueing hopping from tree to tree seeing the pigs stop and sniff at the end of the path as she hid behind the tree. "Hide Raidou!" She whispered hoping that he wouldn't die from standing in front of the pigs.

[Raidou 1]

Raidou points at the pigs, "They don't seem to care about us, but lets get to it before it eats all of the herbs". The pig seems adamant in its attempts at eating the herbs Raidou is after, Raidou begins to wrestle with the animal.

[Ruri 0]

She sighed equipping her katana and attempting to slash at the pig hoping to kill it before it ate all of the herbs. The blade glimmering as the bluenette held it up and brought it down upon the animal. As the blade struck the animal it had exploded into millions of shards of Crystals. Leaving Ruri in a light grin. "So, ready to go get those herbs?" Ruri asked in a sweeter, softer tone cheerfully as she skipped towards a small patch of grass hoping to somehow find the herbs.

Pig: -3/5

Ruri: 71/71

BD= 6 + 2 = 8 - Normal hit

DMG= 1 + 3 + 4 = 8 DMG

[Raidou 1]

Raidou falls with a thud, as the creature he was clinging to dissipates. Raidou lays on his back for a moment staring up at the sky. The radiant well defined false sky looms overhead, blurring the line between reality and this hellish game. Raidou begins to take a rest, basking in the moment presented to him.

[Ruri 0]

Realizing that the man seemed to fall off the pig and lay there... "Sorry about that.." She bluenette spoke before offering the man her hand. "I hope you're okay.." She spoke softly as she lent her the hand. A smile on her face as she lent him the hand hoping that next time it wouldn't be as harsh when she killed a pig.
